In some paintings created by AI, an elderly woman can become a graceful animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys. Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of wonderful artworks with just a few taps on the keyboard. However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated. Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them and they can satisfy users' curiosity. So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting? In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI. “Though AI technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector. Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) on who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and have earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible, because AI is already involved deeply into the lives of human beings.  1.What can ordinary people achieve with AI art generators in a few seconds? A.Sell their paintings for huge profits. B.Replace professional artists completely. C.Create impressive artworks without drawing ability. D.Learn and practice more advanced painting techniques. 2.What is Ding Daoshi's attitude toward AI replacing human artists? A.AI lacks commercial value. B.Human creativity and warmth are irreplaceable. C.AI will soon take the place of humans completely. D.AI is far more excellent than humans in all aspects. 3.What does the underlined phrase “a gray area” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A.A dark shadow.　　B.A colorful picture.　　 C.A hidden place.　　D.An unclear situation. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.The End of Human Artists 　　 B.AI Art: Fast, Fun and Perfect C.How to Sell AI Paintings Online　　 D.AI Art Generators: Innovation and Controversy B (2026河南郑州月考)国际视野 The city of Boston announced recently a major, citywide campaign to reimagine public art. The Un-Monument initiative has received a donation of $3 million from the Mellon Foundation. The initiative aims to bring residents, artists and groups together to rethink the form and function of public art across the city. “It isn't always easy to bring new things into public space,” said Kara Elliott-Ortega, Boston's Chief of Arts and Culture. “Not just because there might be needless and time-consuming procedures, but because there're spaces that are thought of as kind of frozen in time in a historic way.” Elliott-Ortega said they would take advantage of the funding to engage in dialogues with people about the creation of public art through temporary installations, free public events and interactive cultural experiences. “We're focused on unpacking what kinds of monuments (纪念碑) we want to have in Boston going forward, what they mean to us, what stories are missing,” said Elliott-Ortega. Boston is one of nine U.S. cities to receive funding from the Mellon Foundation. Its president Elizabeth Alexander said, “Regarding other public art, understanding and acceptance are necessary. At the end of this, I hope that the work goes on, with Mellon or with others, because the work of telling stories in public places is timeless work. So the right way is that the work continues in a way that recognizes us in all of our power and beauty.” Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez is among the initial group of artists participating in Un-Monument. He's creating a large sculptural installation, “Elevar La Cultura”, composed of 30 to 40 plastic picnic coolers. “For the most part, people use coolers for leisure time—at celebrations, barbecues, and all those things,” said Quiñonez. The folk artist, who was born in Mexico, came to America as a child. “But for many immigrant (移民) cultures, the cooler is a way that people who come to this country are able to make an honest living for their families, selling fresh fruit, cooked food, whatever it may be.” 5.Which is the main challenge of reimagining public art in Boston? A.People are attached to the past.　　B.There are not enough funds. C.Residents show no interest in it.　　D.It's difficult to find top artists. 6.What will the funding be used to do? A.Restore Boston's old public artworks. B.Create public art suitable for Boston. C.Organize more events to collect money. D.Hire more artists to create modern art. 7.What is Alexander's hope for public art? A.Increasing its quantity.　　B.Speeding up its progress. C.Keeping it more traditional.　　D.Making it more inclusive. 8.What does the cooler symbolize for Quiñonez? A.Immigrants' survival.　　B.Leisure activity. C.A wealth symbol.　　D.An artistic tool. 答案与分层梯度式解析 Part 1　Starting out & Understanding ideas 基础过关练 Ⅰ.1.in　考查介词。句意:雇主要求他的员工启动机器。set...in motion意为“使……开始”。

known for　3.brings out 4.such as Ⅲ.1.came to life　2.whose food culture plays an important part　3.①As we all know　②It is known to all that 能力提升练 Ⅰ.1.what　考查名词性从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导宾语从句,作介词about的宾语,从句缺少主语且表示“……的事物”,应用引导词what。 2.whose　考查非限制性定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,且逗号前的句子意思完整,不缺成分,结合句意“弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家,他(创作)的大型雕塑在世界各地展出。”可知,本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Florentijn Hofman,关系词在从句中作定语,修饰名词sculptures,故本空应用关系代词whose。 3.passed　考查过去分词。本句已有谓语,故本空应用非谓语动词。此处表示“世代相传的中国民间故事”,设空处在句中作后置定语,修饰名词短语Chinese folk tales。pass down和被修饰的名词短语之间为被动关系,故应用过去分词形式。

1.known　考查过去分词。句中已有谓语,故此处应用非谓语动词形式。动词know与其逻辑主语The traditional Chinese folk art of New Year paintings之间为被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填known。 2.to decorate　考查不定式。结合语境可知,“decorate doors”是“create colorful artworks”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to decorate。 易错归因 　　此题容易错填动词的-ing形式decorating,误认为此处作后置定语修饰artworks。结合句意可知,此处表示人们在春节期间绘制色彩鲜艳的画的目的是装饰门面。 3.The　考查冠词。空后的过去分词短语“used in New Year paintings”修饰其前的名词短语“primary technique”,由此可知,此处是特指年画中使用的“主要技术”,应用定冠词the表特指,句首单词首字母应大写。故填The。 4.is done　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,设空处是主句中的谓语动词,do与主语This之间是被动关系,且描述客观事实,应使用一般现在时的被动语态,又因主语是This,谓语动词应使用单数形式。故填is done。 5.additional　考查形容词。本空修饰名词woodblocks,应用形容词作定语,additional意为“额外的”,符合语境。 6.carefully　考查副词。分析句子可知,此处修饰过去分词carved,应用副词作状语。故填carefully。 7.by　考查介词。by hand为固定短语,意为“手工”。 8.have become/have been becoming　考查时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,研学旅行已成为推广木版画的重要方式。设空处为本句的谓语,根据时间状语In recent years可知,表示从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在并还可能继续延续下去的动作,应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时,主语是复数名词,助动词用have。故填have become或have been becoming。 9.where　考查定语从句。句意:每年,许多学生和年轻人都会参观朱仙镇的相关商店,在那里他们体验印刷过程,并把他们自己动手完成的作品带回家。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为表地点的名词shops,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。 10.creations　考查名词复数。creation在此处表示“作品”,为可数名词,结合“their DIY”可知,此处指很多人的作品,应用其复数形式。故填creations。 Ⅲ.A ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍AI绘画的优势和引发的争议,探讨了AI技术对艺术创作的影响,以及在技术快速发展的背景下,如何平衡技术创新与人类艺术价值的重要性。 【高频词汇】　1.accompany v.陪伴;陪同　2.efficiency n.效率　3.reasonable adj.合理的　4.upload v.上传 5.come up with想出,提出　6.take the place of代替 【差距词汇】　1.comparable to与……类似,与……可比较　2.adorable adj.可爱的　3.copyright n.版权;著作权 4.irreplaceable adj.不能替代的 1.C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of wonderful artworks with just a few taps on the keyboard.”可知,即便是毫无绘画技能的普通人,只要轻点几下键盘,也能创作出精美的艺术作品。故选C。 2.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘Though AI technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot replace humans...irreplaceable,’”可知,丁道师认为人类的创造力和热情是不可替代的。故选B。 3.D　词义猜测题。根据第六段中画线短语前的“there is no consensus on who owns the copyright of AI art”以及画线词后的“about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI”可知,谁拥有人工智能艺术的版权并没有达成共识,也就是说,人工智能艺术的版权问题尚不明确。由此推知,“a gray area”指“一种不确定的情况”。故选D。 4.D　主旨大意题。 Para. 1 介绍AI绘画的便捷性和吸引力。 Para. 2 指出AI绘画伴随着争议,尤其是关于AI是否会取代人类艺术家和AI绘画的版权问题。 Para. 3— Para. 4 介绍不同的人对AI绘画的看法。 Para. 5— Para. 6 深入探讨AI绘画是否会取代人类绘画、AI 绘画版权归属的争议,并总结AI绘画的现状,同时呼吁尽快提出一些可被接受的规则。 根据以上表格中的内容可知,文章主要介绍了AI艺术生成器风靡网络,提高了创作效率,同时也引发争议,所以D项“AI艺术生成器:创新与争议”最适合作为本文的标题。故选D。 B ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了波士顿市宣布开展一项全市性的重新构想公共艺术运动,名为“非纪念碑”计划,并介绍了该计划的相关信息。 【高频词汇】　1.initiative n.倡议　2.time-consuming adj.耗时的　3.procedure n.程序;步骤　4.take advantage of利用　5.engage in参与　6.temporary adj.暂时的　7.timeless adj.永恒的　8.initial adj.最初的;开始的　9.be attached to依恋;附属于　10.inclusive adj.包容广阔的 5.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的Kara Elliott-Ortega的话“Not just...spaces that are thought of as kind of frozen in time in a historic way.”可知,波士顿重新构想公共艺术的主要挑战是人们倾向于认为某些空间是“冻结在时间中的历史空间”,这表明人们对过去的事物有很强的依恋。故选A。 6.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Elliott-Ortega said they would take advantage of the funding to...the creation of public art through...interactive cultural experiences.”可知,这笔资金将用于创造适合波士顿的公共艺术,而不是恢复波士顿旧公共艺术品、组织更多筹款活动或雇用更多艺术家来创造现代艺术。故选B。 7.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I hope that the work goes on...So the right way...recognizes us in all of our power and beauty.”可推知,Alexander希望公共艺术更具包容性,能够反映所有人的力量和美丽。故选D。 8.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The folk artist, who was born in Mexico, came to America as a child.”可知Quiñonez是一位移民,再结合最后一句“But for many immigrant cultures...whatever it may be.”可知,对于Quiñonez来说,冷藏箱是一种谋生工具,象征着移民的生存。故选A。 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
