As AI art generators(生成器) take the world by storm,some people 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 represent something for the public to enjoy.Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works.Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data,linking someone’s prompts to datasets,and trying to represent it as best as possible.The difference is that AI is driven by instructions 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(诉讼) for copyright violation?Such questions complicate the combination of artificial intelligence and the art industry,while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions,we can tackle the really big one:When an AI-generated painting wins an award,who gets the prize?
4.What does the underlined word “flaws” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Benefits. B.Advances.
C.Weaknesses. D.Standards.
5.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.
6.Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in paragraph 3?
A.To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B.To introduce a new way of conserving art masterpieces.
C.To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
D.To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
7.What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A.AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B.AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C.Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D.There will be fierce competition in the art industry.

(2026江苏常州高二检测)
Shortly after graduation,I began teaching and coaching track at St.Bernard’s High School,a small campus with around 2,000 students.That year,our team had many talented athletes—sprinters(短跑运动员) with lightning speed,jumpers with effortless grace,but the one who impressed me most was Bobby,a freshman.
Bobby was 5'3″ tall and 175 pounds,with a round face and soft body—more like the Pillsbury Dough Boy than a track athlete.Early that spring,he cornered me in the hallway with a serious expression on his face,“Coach,I want to join the team.I know I’m not fast or strong,but I can help somehow.” His determination won me over,so I let him try.
First,he tried shot put:his face turned red as he worked hard to lift the 12-pound metal ball,only to set it down with a sigh.Next was discus(铁饼):he spun clumsily,sending the discus 27 feet in the wrong direction.We decided he couldn’t do long jump,hurdles,or sprints—he simply wasn’t cut out for them.Just when I thought he’d give up,Bobby looked at me firmly,“I want to run the two-mile.” For two weeks,he struggled through his workouts,his shirt wet through,out of breath after every lap,but never missed a practice.
On a sunny Saturday,we competed against St.Basil’s.The two-mile race started first.The gun went off and other runners rushed ahead,all except Bobby,who stumbled(绊倒) over an uneven patch of grass and fell behind.By lap three,he was a full loop(圈) behind.When all the other runners had finished,Bobby still had three laps left.“Quit,chubby!” shouted a few St.Basil’s boys,laughing at him.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Seeing this,our whole team rushed over,roaring “Bobby!Bobby!”
When Bobby finally crossed the finish line,the field erupted into cheers.

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了密歇根州东南部适合孩子假期参与的四项低成本或免费趣味活动。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Farmington Hills Nature Centre,an indoor place,is also open in case it starts to rain and features many kinds of animals,which are attractive to kids.”可知,该中心有多种动物,因此喜欢动物的孩子会对它感兴趣。故选A项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“This summer,the organization is hosting a special lesson on how to program,which requires parents to book online ahead of time.”可知,编程课程需要提前预约。故选B项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“on select Fridays during the summer holidays”、第三段中的“this summer”、第四段中的“in the summer months of July and August”以及第五段中的“This summer”可知,文中四项活动的共同点是都在夏季开展。故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了AI艺术生成器带来的争议,包括其是否算艺术、版权问题以及艺术价值等。
4.C 词句猜测题。根据画线词前的“The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out”可知,该技术仍在发展,有些问题需要解决,这意味着除了令人惊叹的艺术品外,确实还有“缺陷”需要考虑。flaws与weaknesses同义,指“缺陷、弱点”。故选C项。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The difference is that AI is driven by instructions instead of an emotional desire to express itself.”可知,AI艺术与人类艺术的不同之处在于AI是由指令驱动,而非表达自我的情感欲望,因此它不是人类情感的反映。故选D项。
6.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“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.”可知,作者提到《蒙娜丽莎》是为了说明稀缺性决定艺术价值,而AI艺术可以批量生产,这带来了对其价值认定的潜在问题。故选C项。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But who made the artwork,the machine or its user?And can the original artists sue for copyright violation?Such questions complicate the combination of artificial intelligence and the art industry,while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.”可知,AI艺术让版权问题变得更加复杂。故选B项。

A Memorable Moment
There are so many memorable moments in my three years of campus life,which promote my personal growth.I’d like to share one with you.
I still remember the moment when I stepped into the new school as a freshman.Faced with everything unfamiliar,I felt anxious and lonely.I couldn’t adapt to the new school.Seeing my anxiety,my English teacher encouraged me to face everything courageously.And my classmates volunteered to talk with me.Their kindness made me feel relaxed and warm so that I quickly fit in the new environment.Also,it promotes my growth.Never will I forget the moment.
Ⅵ.Seeing this,our whole team rushed over,roaring “Bobby!Bobby!”Their voices echoed across the field,drowning out the taunts from the opposing team.Bobby,drenched in sweat and breathing heavily,glanced up at his teammates.Their unwavering support seemed to fuel his determination.With renewed energy,he pushed forward,his strides becoming more steady despite his exhaustion.The crowd,initially indifferent,began to notice his perseverance.Even the St.Basil’s boys fell silent,their mockery replaced by reluctant respect.
When Bobby finally crossed the finish line,the field erupted into cheers.His teammates lifted him onto their shoulders,celebrating not just his finish but his unyielding spirit.The opposing coach approached me,shaking his head in admiration.“That kid’s got heart,” he said.Bobby,though exhausted,smiled—a quiet triumph in his eyes.That day,he taught us all a lesson:true strength isn’t about speed or skill,but the courage to keep going when everything seems against you.Perseverance leads to victory!
