阅读理解
For centuries, what makes human creativity so precious is not only the final products it yields, but also the effort behind their creation. But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters? How does human-made art survive?
Throughout history, the most famous works of art, literature, and music have carried a sense of labor, dedication, and mastery. We don’t just admire the end product; we admire how it came to be. Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill—it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human.
As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we’re entering an era of “aesthetic inflation”, where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie-like storytelling are available to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, do human creations still have value?
But human imperfection isn’t a weakness—it’s part of who we are, shaping our understanding of humanity. Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren’t just difficulties to overcome—they’re part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI’s ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural—a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection—but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI-generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience.
Therefore, to preserve meaning, selection and context become more crucial. As AI can produce endless content, the human elements like context, narrative and the reasoning behind art become the true value source. Also, AI can be a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, refining ideas while keeping human imperfection and feeling, and acting as an amplifier(放大镜)of human vision.
32. Why do masterpieces like “Starry Night” remain valuable in the AI era?
A. They represent unique human characteristics.
B. They showcase brilliant artistic creation skill.
C. They are created through long production processes.
D. They contain human emotional depth and creative effort.
33. Why does the author mention “aesthetic inflation” in paragraph 3?
A. To demonstrate AI’s efficiency in art creation.
B. To prove that AI-generated art is more affordable.
C. To criticize the overuse of technology in art creation.
D. To stress the devaluation of beauty due to mass production.
34. How does the author develop the argument in the passage?
A. By giving examples. B. By giving definitions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By making classifications.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Guide to Perfect Art with AI B. How to Create Art in the Age of AI
C. Why Human Art Still Matters in the AI Age
D. A New Revolution in Art Creation brought by AI

For centuries, what makes human creativity so precious is not only the final products it yields, but also the effort behind their creation. But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters? How does human-made art survive?
Throughout history, the most famous works of art, literature, and music have carried a sense of labor, dedication, and mastery. We don’t just admire the end product; we admire how it came to be. Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill—it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human.
As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we’re entering an era of “aesthetic inflation”, where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie-like storytelling are available to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, do human creations still have value?
But human imperfection isn’t a weakness—it’s part of who we are, shaping our understanding of humanity. Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren’t just difficulties to overcome—they’re part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI’s ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural—a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection—but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI-generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience.
Therefore, to preserve meaning, selection and context become more crucial. As AI can produce endless content, the human elements like context, narrative and the reasoning behind art become the true value source. Also, AI can be a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, refining ideas while keeping human imperfection and feeling, and acting as an amplifier(放大镜)of human vision.
32. Why do masterpieces like “Starry Night” remain valuable in the AI era?
A. They represent unique human characteristics.
B. They showcase brilliant artistic creation skill.
C. They are created through long production processes.
D. They contain human emotional depth and creative effort.
33. Why does the author mention “aesthetic inflation” in paragraph 3?
A. To demonstrate AI’s efficiency in art creation.
B. To prove that AI-generated art is more affordable.
C. To criticize the overuse of technology in art creation.
D. To stress the devaluation of beauty due to mass production.
34. How does the author develop the argument in the passage?
A. By giving examples. B. By giving definitions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By making classifications.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Guide to Perfect Art with AI B. How to Create Art in the Age of AI
