Museums have been around for centuries,
with the first known museum founded in the 3rd
century BC.For a long time,they were used to
showcase traditional artworks like paintings,sculp-
tures and drawings.
In recent times,however,digital art has
started to gain popularity as an art form.This
has raised the question of whether or not muse-
ums should accept digital art into their collec-
tions.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork crea-
ted using digital technology and tools like com-
puters,tablets and smartphones.It includes a va-
riety of mediums such as animation,3D model-
ling,virtual reality and video game design.Digit-

al art is increasingly being used by artists to cre-
ate unique pieces that are unlike anything else
seen before.
The debate over whether museums should
accept digital art into their collections has been
ongoing for some time.On one hand,many be-
lieve that digital art is not "real"art and does not
deserve to be given the same recognition as tradi-
tional artworks.On the other hand,supporters
of digital art hold the view that museums should
embrace this new form of expression and give it
the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have al-
ready begun to accept digital art into their collec-
tions.In fact,some museums have even dedica-
ted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital art-
works from around the world.This shows that
there is a growing appreciation for this type of ex-
pression and that it is slowly becoming more ac-
cepted by mainstream audiences.
In general,while there may still be some de-
bate over whether or not digital art deserves to be
accepted into museum collections,it is clear that
many museums are beginning to welcome this
new form of expression.As more people realize
the digital art and its potential as an artistic medi-
um,it will likely become even more popular in
years to come.
4.What do we know about the digital art from the
first three paragraphs?
A.It dates back to the 3rd century BC.
B.Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C.Its creation cannot be separated from digital
technology.
D.It should be placed in museums according to
most people.
5.What does the underlined word“embrace'”in
Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Increase.
B.Describe.
C.Refuse.

B.It has been accepted by the mainstream audi-
ences.
C.Most museums have accepted it as their col-
lection.
D.This kind of exhibition can be seen all over
the world.
7.What is the author's attitude toward the future
of the digital art?

近些年随着数字技术的崛起,关于“博物馆是否应
该收藏数字艺术作品”的话题被大家广泛讨论。
4.C[细节理解题。根据第三段“Digital art can
be defined as an artwork created using digital
technology and tools like computers,tablets and
smartphones.(数字艺术可以定义为使用计算
机、平板电脑和智能手机等数字技术和工具创
作的艺术品。)”可知,数字艺术可以定义为使用
计算机、平板电脑和智能手机等数字技术和数
字工具创作的艺术品。因此,数字艺术的创作
离不开数字技术和数字工具。]
5.D[词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文“On
one hand,many believe that digital art is not
"real'art and does not deserve to be given the
same recognition as traditional artworks.
面人们认为数字艺术不是真正的艺术,不应该
被认可。)”同时根据划线词所在的句子“On the
other hand,supporters of digital art hold the
view that museums should embrace this new
form of expression and give it the same respect
as any other type of artworks.(另一方面,数字
艺术的支持者持这样的观,点:博物馆应该em
brace这种新的表现形式,并给予它与任何其他
类型的艺术品同样的尊重。)”可知,从另一方面
来说数字艺术的支持者认为数字艺术应该被认
可,被接受。故划线词表示“接受,欢迎”,与D
选项“accept(接受,认可)”意思一致。]
6.A[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The truth
is that many museums have already begun
to...it is slowly becoming more accepted by
mainstream audiences..(实际上,许多博物馆已
经开始接受数字艺术的收藏。事实上,一些博
物馆甚至专门举办了整个展览来展示来自世界
各地的数字艺术品。这表明人们越来越欣赏这
种表达方式,并逐渐被主流观众所接受。)”可
知,许多博物馆已经开始接受数字艺术的收藏,
人们越来越欣赏这种表达方式,数字艺术正逐
渐被主流观众所接受。也就是说,数字艺术目
前正在获得越来越多的认可。]
7.B[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As more
people realize the digital art and its potential as
an artistic medium,it will likely become even
more popular in years to come.(随着越来越多
的人意识到数字艺术及其作为艺术媒介的潜
力,它可能会在未来几年变得更加流行。)”可
知,作者对数字艺术的未来持乐观态度。]

In her tiny home in the capital of Greece,
Athens,93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted
(thousands of brightly colored scarves for
children in need from Greece to Ukraine.Her
knitting needles clicked through her expert fin-
gers,her nails painted red."It brings me joy to
share them,”she said.
50。
Since she took up knitting in the 1990s,
Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves,
her daughter estimates.In the beginning,the
scarves were gifted to friends.As the number of
scarves grew,they were donated to children's
shelters across Greece.Then,through acquaint-
ances,they reached children in Bosnia and U-
kraine.The newly knitted scarves,numbering o-
ver70,went to a refugee(难民)camp near Ath
ens this winter,via the UN refugee agency UN-
HCR.
"The fact that we give them away gives her
strength,"said her daughter Angeliki.
She related simple artwork and mail her
mother received over the years:Thank you,be
well,keep going.You gave joy to children,you
gave joy to people."That's her only reward:a
letter,a few words."Angeliki says her mother is
an example of strength and optimism.
Now Matsouka knits one scarf a day.Wa-
king up every morning,she drinks a glass of
milk,puts on her pearl earrings and gets to
work.She takes a break for lunch and a short
sleep,and then painstakingly knits into the
night.Her eyesight suffers and she sometimes
has severe facial pain,a condition known as tri-
geminal neuralgia.However,she has no plans to
quit just yet."Until I die,I will be knitting,"
Matsouka said.
She may have even found the secret to a long
life in it,she says."It's the happiness I get from
giving,"she said,sitting beside a big blue bag
filled with the knitting materials.
8.Who were Matsouka's latest creations donated to?
A.Her friends and relatives.
B.The children in a refugee camp near Athens.
C.The kids in Bosnia and Ukraine.
D.The people in shelters across Greece.
9.What is Angeliki's attitude towards what her
mother is doing?
A.Tolerant.
B.Disapproving.
C.Favorable.
D.Indifferent.
10.What do we know about Matsouka from para-
graph 5?
A.She is used to rising early.
B.She is disciplined and humble.
C.She is organized and strong-willed.
D.She is unconcerned about her appearance.
11.Which statement will Matsouka probably
agree with?
A.One is never too old to learn.
B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.One cannot be in two places at once.
D.The more you give,the happier you will be.

疼痛,仍坚持每天织一条围巾,从不言弃。这说
明她是一个很有条理的、意志坚强的人。故
选C。]

(2024·重庆市高三考试)As AI art genera-
tors(生成器)take the world by storm,some peo-
ple wonder if their works should count as art at
all.The technology is still developing and has
some wrinkles to iron out,which means there are
indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible
artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination,
skill,experience,and emotion,usually meant to
高考总复习英语(H)
represent something for the public to enjoy.Art-
ists spent time and effort putting their inner
worlds onto these works.Machine intelligence al-
so puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of
data,linking someone's prompt to datasets,and
trying to represent it as best as possible.The
difference is that the Al is driven by commands
instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original
works of art with every tap of the enter key on a
keyboard.But a mass-produced print of the Mona
Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da
Vinci's painting.Why?Scarcity-there's only
one of the original.Should anyone pay for these
things?And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up
for sale,what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿)
the work of existing artists to create a new piece
according to the request of a human.But who
made the artwork,the machine or its user?And
can the original artists sue for copyright()
violation?Such questions complicate the merging
of artificial intelligence and the art industry,
while fueling arguments against recognizing Al
generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we've answered those questions,we
can tackle the really big one:When an AI-genera-
ted painting wins an award,who gets the prize?
l2.What does the underlined word“flaws”in
Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Benefits.
B.Advances.
C.Weaknesses.
D.Standards.
13.How is AI art different from human art?
A.It is the product of experience.
B.It costs less money to produce.
C.It combines different styles of work.
D.It is not a mirror of humans'emotions.
14.Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in
the third paragraph?
A.To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B.To present the potential trouble with the
value of AI art.
C.To show the advantages of AI painters over
human artists.
D.To introduce a new way of preserving art
masterpieces.

解决的问题。
12.C[词义猜测题。根据首段中的划线单词前
的“The technology is still developing and has

中,还有一些问题需要解决)”可知,这项技术

difference is that the AI is driven by com-
mands instead of an emotional desire to ex-
press itself.(不同之处在于,AI是由命令驱动
的,而不是由表达自己的情感欲望驱动的。)”
可知,人类艺术是表达自己的情感欲望,而AI
则是靠程序驱动,由此可知,AI艺术不是人类
情感的反应。]
14.B[写作手法题。根据第三段中的“AI paint-
ers can produce over 1,000 original works of
art with every tap of the enter key on a key-
board.But a mass-produced print of the Mona

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Graffiti and Street Art
People have been painting and writing on
walls throughout history.In prehistoric times,
people in Africa and Europe used to paint pictures
of animals and people in caves.1 In the Ro-
2
man town of Pompeii,archaeologists have found
numerous examples of graffiti written in Latin.
These include religious,political and romantic
messages,and even some magic spells.
In the late twentieth century,graffiti and
street art became an international phenomenon.
In the 1970s,young people in New York used
pens to write their names,or“tags”,on walls a
round the city.One of the first taggers was Dem-
etrius.At first,he wrote his tag on walls in his
neighborhood.Then he started tagging in subway
stations on the way to and from school.When the
subway train stopped at a station,he would jump
off,write his tag on the wall and then jump back
on before the doors closed.Other teenagers no-
ticed Demetrius's tag and started to write their
own.2·
But is graffiti art or damage?American artist
Elura Emerald organized a street art exhibition at
a New York Gallery in 2008."Street artists and
artists who paint on the street are merely ex-
pressing themselves,not hurting anyone.3
."she defended.
4.In many countries,writing or paint-
ing on public or private property is considered il-
legal.Many street artists have been stopped by
the police and some have had to pay fines.Many
city councils complain about the high cost of
cleaning graffiti off buildings,buses and trains.
However,some countries take a more toler-
ant attitude.In some countries,councils have
tried to encourage artists not to paint randomly
on walls by allowing them to work in specific are-
as.5.
A.Policies also vary from region to region
B.They should be appreciated and celebrated
C.There are exhibitions of street art in major cit-
ies such as Paris
D.The city's walls,buses and subway trains
were covered with tags soon
E.In Greece and Italy,graffiti has been found on
buildings at ancient sites
F.In Paris,there are "graffiti zones"where art-
ists are free to paint and write
G.There has been a growing recognition of its
value in the past few decades

涂满了标签”符合题意。故选D。]
3.B[根据空前“Street artists and artists who
paint on the street are merely expressing them-
selves,not hurting anyone..(街头艺术家和在街
上画画的艺术家只是在表达自己,而不是伤害
任何人。)”可知,Elura Emerald为街头艺术辩
护,她认为街头艺术家和在街上画画的艺术家
通过街头艺术来表达自己,并没有伤害他人,空
处应进一步讲述她认为应该支持这些艺术家,B
项“他们应该得到欣赏和赞扬”符合题意。故
选B。」

painting on public or private property is consid-
ered illegal.Many street artists have been
stopped by the police and some have had to pay

市议会抱怨清理建筑物、公共汽车和火车上的
涂鸦成本高昂。)”和最后一段中的“However,
some countries take a more tolerant attitude.
(然而,一些国家采取了更宽容的态度。)”可知,
下文讲述了不同国家对待涂鸦的不同态度,所

have tried to encourage artists not to paint ran-
domly on walls by allowing them to work in
specific areas..(在一些国家,议会试图通过允许
