Produced by a local Chinese animation studio, the movie retells the classic Chinese legend of the Eight Immortals (神仙). However, instead of showing them as powerful gods, the film presents the eight characters as ordinary people living in a small seaside town before they became immortals. In the story, the group opens a Taoist (道教的) temple to make a living, but business is poor. To attract visitors, they decide to pretend to be the legendary Eight Immortals.

The film surprised many people with its amazing visual effects (视觉效果) and created new ways to show classic stories. AI gives breathtaking visual effects and emotional (情感的) experiences. The blogger, Mr. Feng, has 15 years of art experience. He said that a video, which would take at least six months to make without AI, was done in a week with AI’s help. He also talked about how to make videos with AI. Using the first part of Journey to the West as an example, he talked about how to decide how many pictures and storyboards are needed. He said he used ChatGPT to analyze (分析) the original (起初的) text and plan the storyboards, drew with AI painting software, and then turned the pictures into a video. These processes usually create a lot of early versions (版本). “Right now, it’s hard for AI to fully understand what I mean, so the results are kind of random (随意的). Every time, I use AI to form a lot of material to find the right one for the next step,” Mr. Feng said. When it comes to adding exciting fight scenes to the Journey to the West TV series and other works, Feng pointed out that there are still many limitations (限制) in AI-made videos, making it hard to do such scenes. 16．Why did the AI-made film surprise many people according to the text? A．It was created by a blogger from Sichuan. B．It showed a story with amazing visuals. C．It was shared on the Internet. D．It was the first AI-made film. 17．How long will it take AI to make a film that takes people a year to make? A．At most half a year. B．At least half a year. C．At least two weeks. D．About one week. 18．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ________. A．the person who often uses AI to create artwork B．the steps that create videos with AI C．the pictures that are needed for a video D．ChatGPT’s role in video creation 19．What’s Mr. Feng’s opinion about AI’s role in making films? A．He thinks it is perfect and has no weaknesses. B．He believes it still faces challenges in creating videos. C．He thinks it can easily overcome all challenges in film making. D．He doesn’t care about its development in film making. 5 There came out a cartoon short film of Journey to the West on the Internet. It was made with the help of AI (人工智能技术). The film shocked many people because of its great watching and feeling experience. It provided new chances for showing Chinese classics. This film is from Mr. Feng, a man from Sichuan, who has 15 years of art experience. He said that it might take at least six months to make the short film by hand before. But this work took only one week with the help of AI. He also explained the steps to make this film with AI. The most important thing was to decide the number of pictures needed first. Next, he analyzed (分析) the story with AI and made a plan. Then he used AI to draw the pictures. At last the software (软件) helped to animate the pictures. These steps made many pictures that were not useful. “Now, it is difficult for AI to fully understand my meaning. Every time, I have to find the right pictures for the next step.” That means we still have trouble making films with AI, so it’s not easy to achieve success now.

This special art form connects modern technology with Chinese traditional art techniques (技艺), such as paper-cutting, shadow puppet performances (皮影戏) and ink-wash painting. Films in this style often include many themes from Chinese art, literature and culture. Pigsy Eats Watermelon from 1958 was the first paper-cut animation. In this creative short film, Zhu Bajie and the other characters come to life on screen. The bright colors and lively animation style made the film popular across China, and it quickly became a warm memory for many children and adults of that time. Two years later, another important achievement came with the first ink-wash animated film, Baby Tadpoles Look for Their Mother. This short film was influenced by the famous artist Qi Baishi, and it looks exactly like a soft and beautiful traditional ink painting. The film was successful. It showed the quiet charm (魅力) of Chinese ink art to the whole world. Chinese animated films also carry traditional Chinese culture. Ancient stories are a common theme, and the much-loved characters from the adventure novel Journey to the West often appear in animation. Havoc in Heaven from 1961 tells the story of the Monkey King, and is perhaps the most famous Chinese animated film. It mixes traditional Chinese painting techniques with the sound effects from Beijing opera. Today, Chinese animators keep exploring new ways of film-making. Films like Monkey King: Hero is Back were made with advanced 3D animation software. With the help of the latest computer technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), I believe film-makers will surely bring more heroes from classic Chinese stories into the 21st century. 29．Why was Pigsy Eats Watermelon from 1958 so popular at that time? A．It told a new story about Monkey King’s life. B．It was the first shadow puppet animation in China. C．It used bright colors and a lively animation style. D．It told a story of a famous traditional paper cutting. 30．What can we know from the text? A．Baby Tadpoles Look for Their Mother was made with advanced 3D animation software. B．Characters from Journey to the West hardly ever appear in Chinese animated films. C．Havoc in Heaven mixes traditional painting techniques with Beijing opera sound effects. D．Monkey King: Hero is Back was made in 1961 with Chinese traditional art techniques. 31．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To explain how people use AI in making animated films. B．To show different forms of traditional Chinese art. C．To ask people to watch more Chinese animated films. D．To introduce the development of Chinese animation. 32．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards Chinese animation? A．Hopeful. B．Worried. C．Doubtful. D．Curious. 8 There is one mysterious painting in the world: The Lute Player by the Italian painter Caravaggio. It has three very similar versions, and most people cannot tell the differences between them. To art experts, there has been agreement that the paintings held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is a copy. Artificial intelligence (AI) begged to differ. In September 2025, Swiss AI company Art Recognition said there’s an almost 86 percent chance that Badminton House’s painting is real, while Wildenstein’s one is likely a copy. This case shows the new role that AI plays in authenticating (鉴定) art. In the past, it was up to human experts to decide ★ . They tell real artworks apart from copies using their deep knowledge of artists and modern technologies such as infrared imaging (红外成像). Now, AI might serve as another cool tool in experts’ toolboxes. The technology can study small details (细节) in artworks. It then compares these details with real works by the same artist to find differences that experts and other scientific methods might miss. However, many experts don’t fully trust AI for identifying (识别) real art. They pointed out that AI can give results without explaining how it reached them. Also, proper training on AI will require thousands of images, but few artists have produced that many works. Artists may also change their style suddenly, so AI that only looks for fixed patterns can easily make mistakes. AI should be used together with other methods, not to give final answers. “I strongly believe that the future of art authentication lies in teamwork between AI and experts,” Art Recognition’s CEO Carina Popovici told ART news. 33．According to AI, in which country is the painting considered a copy? A． B． C． D． 34．Which of the following can be put in the ★ ? A．if a painting was real B．what to do with artworks C．how to make use of technology D．that authenticating wasn’t necessary 35．What main question did Paragraph 6 answer? A．What mistakes may AI make? B．How is AI used in identifying art? C．Why do some artists change their styles? D．How many artworks are needed to train AI? 36．Which Chinese sentence might Popovici believe? A．以人为本，智能向善 B．智能驱动，创新引领 C．跨界融合，人机协同 D．伦理先行，法治保障 37．What’s the writing purpose of this passage? A．To explain the ideas behind AI. B．To discuss the role of AI in art. C．To argue AI’s influence over humans. D．To present an AI problem-solving case. 参考答案 1 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【解析】本文主要介绍了中国动画电影《八仙！》的上映情况、故事内容、制作技术以及其在海外获得的反响，展示了中国传统故事与现代科技结合的成功案例。 1．根据第一段中“…the movie retells the classic Chinese legend of the Eight Immortals”可知，这部电影是基于一个经典的中国传说改编的。 2．根据第一段中“…presents the eight characters as ordinary people living in a small seaside town before they became immortals”可知，电影中的八仙被描述为成仙前的普通人。 3．根据第二段中“…business is poor.

This special art form connects modern technology with Chinese traditional art techniques (技艺), such as paper-cutting, shadow puppet performances (皮影戏) and ink-wash painting. Films in this style often include many themes from Chinese art, literature and culture. Pigsy Eats Watermelon from 1958 was the first paper-cut animation. In this creative short film, Zhu Bajie and the other characters come to life on screen. The bright colors and lively animation style made the film popular across China, and it quickly became a warm memory for many children and adults of that time. Two years later, another important achievement came with the first ink-wash animated film, Baby Tadpoles Look for Their Mother. This short film was influenced by the famous artist Qi Baishi, and it looks exactly like a soft and beautiful traditional ink painting. The film was successful. It showed the quiet charm (魅力) of Chinese ink art to the whole world. Chinese animated films also carry traditional Chinese culture. Ancient stories are a common theme, and the much-loved characters from the adventure novel Journey to the West often appear in animation. Havoc in Heaven from 1961 tells the story of the Monkey King, and is perhaps the most famous Chinese animated film. It mixes traditional Chinese painting techniques with the sound effects from Beijing opera. Today, Chinese animators keep exploring new ways of film-making. Films like Monkey King: Hero is Back were made with advanced 3D animation software. With the help of the latest computer technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), I believe film-makers will surely bring more heroes from classic Chinese stories into the 21st century. 29．Why was Pigsy Eats Watermelon from 1958 so popular at that time? A．It told a new story about Monkey King’s life. B．It was the first shadow puppet animation in China. C．It used bright colors and a lively animation style. D．It told a story of a famous traditional paper cutting. 30．What can we know from the text? A．Baby Tadpoles Look for Their Mother was made with advanced 3D animation software. B．Characters from Journey to the West hardly ever appear in Chinese animated films. C．Havoc in Heaven mixes traditional painting techniques with Beijing opera sound effects. D．Monkey King: Hero is Back was made in 1961 with Chinese traditional art techniques. 31．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To explain how people use AI in making animated films. B．To show different forms of traditional Chinese art. C．To ask people to watch more Chinese animated films. D．To introduce the development of Chinese animation. 32．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards Chinese animation? A．Hopeful. B．Worried. C．Doubtful. D．Curious. 8 There is one mysterious painting in the world: The Lute Player by the Italian painter Caravaggio. It has three very similar versions, and most people cannot tell the differences between them. To art experts, there has been agreement that the paintings held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is a copy. Artificial intelligence (AI) begged to differ. In September 2025, Swiss AI company Art Recognition said there’s an almost 86 percent chance that Badminton House’s painting is real, while Wildenstein’s one is likely a copy. This case shows the new role that AI plays in authenticating (鉴定) art. In the past, it was up to human experts to decide ★ . They tell real artworks apart from copies using their deep knowledge of artists and modern technologies such as infrared imaging (红外成像). Now, AI might serve as another cool tool in experts’ toolboxes. The technology can study small details (细节) in artworks. It then compares these details with real works by the same artist to find differences that experts and other scientific methods might miss. However, many experts don’t fully trust AI for identifying (识别) real art. They pointed out that AI can give results without explaining how it reached them. Also, proper training on AI will require thousands of images, but few artists have produced that many works. Artists may also change their style suddenly, so AI that only looks for fixed patterns can easily make mistakes. AI should be used together with other methods, not to give final answers. “I strongly believe that the future of art authentication lies in teamwork between AI and experts,” Art Recognition’s CEO Carina Popovici told ART news. 33．According to AI, in which country is the painting considered a copy? A． B． C． D． 34．Which of the following can be put in the ★ ? A．if a painting was real B．what to do with artworks C．how to make use of technology D．that authenticating wasn’t necessary 35．What main question did Paragraph 6 answer? A．What mistakes may AI make? B．How is AI used in identifying art? C．Why do some artists change their styles? D．How many artworks are needed to train AI? 36．Which Chinese sentence might Popovici believe? A．以人为本，智能向善 B．智能驱动，创新引领 C．跨界融合，人机协同 D．伦理先行，法治保障 37．What’s the writing purpose of this passage? A．To explain the ideas behind AI. B．To discuss the role of AI in art. C．To argue AI’s influence over humans. D．To present an AI problem-solving case. ( 1 / 1 )学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
