一、阅读理解
Passage C
For centuries,the art world has been dominated by the idea of the "masterpiece"-a unique work of
genius that defies imitation.But what happens when a machine can not only imitate but also create?The
rise of Artificial Intelligence(AD in art has sparked a debate that goes to the very heart of what we
consider creative.Some see it as a threat,while others view it as an opportunity for unprecedented
collaboration.
Recently,an AI-generated portrait titled "Edmond de Belamy"sold for an astonishing $432,500,far
exceeding its estimate.The work,created by the Paris-based collective Obvious,was not the product of a
lone artist but of an algorithm trained on a dataset of 15,000 portraits spanning 500 years of art history.
This event marked a watershed moment,forcing the art establishment to confront a difficult question:who
is the artistthe machine that painted it,or the humans who programmed it?
While some critics dismissed the work as a mere gimmick,others argued that it represented a genuine
expansion of artistic tools."The algorithm isn't creative,it's a mimic,"said one critic."It can only produce
variations of what it has already seen."However,proponents ofAI art counter that human artists are also
influenced by the works of those who came before them."All art is built on a foundation of what came
before,"argued Ahmed Elgammal,a computer scientist at Rutgers University who has developed his own
creative AI."The difference is that a human artist can make intuitive leaps that an algorithm currently
cannot."
The debate extends beyond creativity to issues of authenticity and value.If a machine produces an
endless series of unique images,does that devalue the concept of a "limited edition"or even the
"original"?Collectors have already begun to navigate this new landscape,with some focusing on the
unique"training data"sets themselves as the true artwork.Ultimately,the greatest impact ofAI art might
not be the art it produces,but the way it forces us to reconsider our own definition of human creativity.It
compels us to ask whether creativity is a uniquely human trait,or a process that can be simulated,
analyzed,and perhaps even improved upon by a machine.
()1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the history of the "masterpiece"
B.To present a fundamental challenge posed by AI art.
C.To criticize the high price ofAI-generated artwork.
D.To explain how the algorithm "Obvious"was trained
()2.According to the passage,what was the significance of the sale of"Edmond de Belamy"?
A.It proved that AI art could be profitable
B.It was the first time an AI portrait was sold.
C.It forced the art world to reconsider the role of the artist.
D.It demonstrated that algorithms are more creative than humans.
()3.Which of the following best summarizes the counter-argument made by proponents ofAI art?
A.Algorithms are superior to human artists in creativity.
B.Human artists also rely on inspiration from previous works
C.The training data sets are more valuable than the art itself.
D.AI art will eventually replace human-made art completely.
()4.What does the author imply about the concept of "originality"in the context ofAI art?
A.It remains the most important criterion for evaluating art
B.It is no longer relevant in the age of digital creation
C.It is challenged by the algorithm's ability to generate infinite variations.
D.It is only applicable to works created by human artists.
Passage D
The crisp autumn air carried the faint scent of oil paint and turpentine as I stepped into the old,dusty
studio.It belonged to a retired art professor,Mr.Davis,whose work had once been exhibited in
prestigious galleries but had long since faded from public memory.I was a young joumalist,assigned to
write a piece on "the art of fading glory,"and I expected to find a bitter old man.What I found instead
was a man at peace.
His studio was a chaotic museum of half-finished canvases,cracked palettes,and brushes stiff with dried
paint."I used to think a career was a line that went up,"he said,gesturing to a stack of his old,unsold
paintings in the comer."But now I see it's a circle.You start with a desire to express,you chase after
recognition,and if you're lucky,you end up back at the desire to express,without the need for an
audience.He spoke not with the tone of defeat,but of liberation.His latest works were abstract,bold
explosions of color unlike his earlier,more realistic landscapes.
As we talked,I realized that his retreat from the commercial art world was not an end,but a
transformation.He had stopped extending invitations to gallery owners and had stopped submitting his
work to competitions."I used to occupy my mind with what others thought,"he explained."Now,I just
want to be grateful for the process itself.He showed me a small,seemingly simple sketch of a single
leaf."Look closely.See how the light falls on the edge?I spent three hours on that.That's a life well
spent."
His words were a stark contrast to the frantic energy of the modem art scene I had been covering,where
success was measured in auction prices and social media followers.Mr.Davis had ultimately chosen a
different path.He was not a distinguished figure in the eyes of the public,but he was a master ofhis own
small,creative universe.He had moved from being an ordinary artist striving for fame to being an
extraordinary observer of the world around him.Leaving his studio,I felt I had not just written a story
about art,I had witnessed a lesson in life.The "fading glory"I had come to document was,in fact,a quiet
triumph.
()5.Why did the author visit Mr.Davis's studio initially?
A.To buy one of his famous paintings
B.To interview him about his past success.
C.To report on an artist who was no longer famous.
D.To attend a private exhibition of his latest works.
()6.How does Mr.Davis's view ofa career differ from his past view?
A.He now believes a career is about gaining recognition
B.He now sees a career as a linear path to success.
C.He now feels a career is a continuous upward climb
D.He now values the act of creation over public approval.
()7.The word "frantic"in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to:
A.inspiring
B.peaceful
C.anxious
D.indifferent
()8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the author?
A.She was disappointed with the story she wrote.
B.She gained a deeper understanding of life and art.
C.She still believes that fame is the ultimate goal for artists.
D.She found Mr.Davis's new works less impressive than his old ones.
二、完形填空
When I was a child,my grandmother,a talented but untrained painter,would spend hours in her garden,
her easel set up among the roses.She didn't paint for an audience;she painted for herself.Her studio was
the world,and her subjects were the ordinary miracles she saw every day.To her,a 1.
change in
the angle of sunlight was a drama worth capturing.She was a 2.observer of life,and her work
was full of a quiet,respectful beauty.
Years later,I became an art reviewer for a local newspaper.My job was to attend gallery openings and
write 3.
about the latest exhibitions.I saw countless works-some 4.,some dull.I
learned to use technical terms like "composition"and "palette.But over time,I felt a growing sense of

I had become a critic of art,but I had forgotten how to
simply feel it.
Then,I was sent to cover a show by a 6.artist named Elena.The white walls of the gallery were
bare except for a series of small,framed leaves.They looked,at first glance,like 7.pressed
leaves you might see in a child's scrapbook.But up close,I saw her work.Using thousands of tiny,
delicate strokes of paint,she had not just copied the leaves;she had 8.their life,their veins,and
their subtle colors of decay.She had 9.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
The Shanghai Museum has recently staged a special exhibition titled "The Dialogue of Worlds,"which
aims to bridge the gap between classical Chinese painting and Westem modemism.The exhibition is an
extension of the museum's ongoing effort to promote cross-cultural understanding.One of the highlights
is a side-by-side comparison of a Ming Dynasty landscape by Dong Qichang and an abstract
expressionist work by Jackson Pollock.The curators do not suggest a direct influence but rather a parallel
pursuit of capturing the energy of nature,albeit through vastly different literary and artistic traditions.
The exhibition has drawn a mixed response from critics.Some praise it for its bold,respectful
connections,arguing it allows the viewer to see familiar works in a new light.They suggest that this kind
of dialogue ultimately enriches our understanding of both traditions.Others,however,are more critical,
suggesting the comparison is too superficial.They argue that to truly appreciate a Chinese landscape-
which is as much a philosophical text as a visual image-one must first understand the literary and
spiritual context,something a simple side-by-side display cannot provide.
Despite the debate,the exhibition has been a commercial success,attracting record numbers of visitors,
many of whom are young students.For them,the exhibition is not just about art history but about seeing
their own cultural heritage in a global context."It makes me proud that our ancient artists were dealing
with the same big questions as modern artists in the West,"one university student commented."It feels
less like a competition and more like a conversation."The museum hopes that this event will occupy a
permanent place in the public's mind,encouraging a new generation to appreciate art as a universal
language.
1.What is the main purpose of the "Dialogue of Worlds"exhibition?
2.According to the passage,what is the similarity between Dong Qichang's work and Jackson Pollock's
work,as suggested by the curators?
3.Why do some critics consider the comparison in the exhibition to be "too superficial"?
4.What has been a positive outcome of the exhibition,besides critical debate?
5.How does the author describe the feeling of the exhibition,based on the student's comment?
四、短文填空
Read the passage and fill in the blanks with the comrect form of the words given.Write one word in each
blank
My journey as an artist began in a small,dusty room.I was an 1.
(ordinaly)student who found
solace in painting.My first teacher,a 2.(distinguish)old man,taught me more than just

vision."Under his guidance,I leamed to see the world with new eyes.Every 5.

in light became a drama.I became 6.(grate)for the beauty in the mundane.

范文:
Last month,I visited an exhibition of impressionist paintings.I was initially a(n)ordinary viewer,but one
painting of a sunrise stopped me.The artist hadn't just captured the scene,he had captured the feeling of
hope.I felt a deep,respectful silence inside me.
This experience changed my view.I realized art is not just for the distinguished critics,it is for everyone.
It speaks a universal language of emotion.
I am now grateful for art.It has the power to extend our vision,to see the extraordinary in the ordinary,
and to occupy our minds with beauty.Ultimately,art reminds us we are all connected by our shared
humanity
