His world was one of silence and shadows. One rainy Tuesday, as Leo was making his final round, he noticed a small, leather-bound sketchbook (素描本) left on a bench. He picked it up, intending to hand it to the lost-and-found. However, a quick glance revealed pages with astonishingly beautiful drawings of the museum’s sculptures, each one filled with light and life that the cold stone originals seemed to lack. Instead of delivering the book to the office, Leo felt a strange urge to keep it for one night. At home, under his lamp, he paged through every page. The artist had not only drawn the art but had also composed little stories next to each piece — a warrior’s homesickness, a goddess’s secret smile. Leo was deeply moved. For the first time, he saw the museum through someone else’s eyes, and it was magical. The next day, Leo placed the sketchbook back on the same bench, adding a brief note, “Your art made the statues breathe. Thank you.” He didn’t expect a reply. A week later, the sketchbook was gone, but in its place was a new drawing. It was a portrait of a night guard, not in uniform, but dressed as a wise guardian, watching over the sleeping art with a kind expression. Beneath it was written, “To the one who sees. You are not part of the furniture. You are its keeper.” This simple exchange transformed Leo’s perspective entirely. He started to appreciate small, beautiful details in his nightly rounds — the way moonlight fell on a marble floor, the peaceful expression of a sleeping cherub (小天使). He even began leaving his own short, appreciative notes for the mysterious artist, commenting on new drawings that occasionally appeared. This silent conversation became a source of joy for both. Leo no longer felt invisible. He felt seen, connected to the art and to another soul who saw the world with wonder. He realized that everyone has the power to touch others, sometimes without even saying a word. The museum was no longer just a workplace; it had become a world of shared understanding, waiting in the quiet dark. 24．(2.5分)What was Leo’s initial feeling about his job? A．Proud and valued. B．Curious and cheerful. C．Busy and interactive. D．Lonely and unimportant. 25．(2.5分)Why did Leo keep the sketchbook for one night? A．He thought it was left there for him. B．He planned to return it the next day. C．He was deeply attracted by its contents. D．He forgot to hand it to the lost-and-found. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer about the mysterious artist from the new drawing and the words? A．He taught Leo artistic skills. B．He was a former night guard. C．He understood Leo’s feelings. D．He offered Leo an official position. 27．(2.5分)What is the main message of the story? A．Night guards lead interesting lives. B．Art has the power to connect people. C．Lost items should be returned rapidly. D．Museums are places for silent conversations. （本题10分）In an age when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly engaged in the creative process, a question is raised for viewers and institutions: What is considered as art when the human hand is no longer directly involved in crafting the work? Major museums are now struggling with this question and are trying to teach the public to see beyond mere visual excitement. For pioneering AI artists, the act of art creation lies in writing code and curating (策展) data. They spend months or even years building and polishing AI models, adding their ideas into every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states, “I don’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s point of view.” Another artist, Refik Anadol, has even planned to build an AI art museum in Los Angeles. Named Dataland, the museum will have its own AI model for use by artists — built with support from Google and Nvidia and trained on half a billion images, all collected with the permission of the owners. AI art is not entirely new, as it has roots in computer experiments from the 1960s. It stepped into public view in 2018 when Portrait of Edmond de Belamy was sold at Christie’s. Today, some museums like the Tate Modern recognize it as a “cultural milestone.” However, others such as the Nasher Museum remain hesitant. Some curators even argue that AI does not qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired of works that rely only on technological novelty. At the New York Armory Show in 1913, American audiences were perturbed about cubism (立体主义). Today’s AI-generated works arouse similar unease, challenging audiences to decide whether new tools expand or narrow the meaning of art. As MoMA’s curator Paola Antonelli notes, the initial restlessness with new technology eventually gives way to calmness, and audiences will develop their own critical sense to determine which institutions and works truly matter in this developing era. 28．(2.5分)What is pioneering AI artists’ focus of art creation? A．The artist’s insight. B．The data collection. C．The visual technology. D．The physical craftsmanship. 29．(2.5分)What concern do doubtful curators raise about AI art? A．AI art’s technology may become outdated easily. B．AI-generated works’ appeal may disappear soon. C．AI art’s technology holds no cultural significance. D．AI-generated works don’t make artists qualified. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean? A．Passionate. B．Curious. C．Uninformed. D．Unsettled. 31．(2.5分)What is the main focus of the passage? A．History of AI technology in art creation. B．Strategies of using AI in art for more audiences. C．Argument over the artistic nature of AI works. D．Differences between traditional art and digital art. （本题10分）As China accelerates its large-scale land greening and ecological restoration, once fragile ecosystems are transforming into vibrant tourism destinations. Forests, wetlands and karst landscapes have become powerful engines for consumption and employment. According to the 2025 China Land Greening Status Bulletin, the country completed afforestation of over 3.5 million hectares, with the forest coverage rate reaching 25.09%. This ecological miracle has fueled a total industry output value of 11 trillion yuan, directly driving employment for over 60 million people. This green transformation has created booming tourism markets. In Libo County, Guizhou Province, the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area — known as the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt” — has thrived. During the 2025 May Day holiday, single-day visitor numbers exceeded 70,000, setting a historical record. New activities such as hiking, heritage exploration and transparent boating have extended average visitor stays from four-and-a-half to around seven hours, effectively maximizing local consumption. Similarly, in northeastern Heilongjiang, Yichun City — known as China’s “Forest Metropolis”— boasts an 83.8% forest coverage rate. During the 2025 holidays, the city saw a 13.5% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, while online tourism consumption surged by 369.2%. This growth was driven largely by “forest-based tourism” and cool summer retreats. The ecological gains extend deep into rural revitalization. Currently, 19 Chinese villages have been named on the UN Tourism’s “Best Tourism Villages” list, the highest number in the world. Officials underscored that the nationwide “Beautiful China” initiative has successfully turned lush mountains into invaluable assets, leveraging eco-tourism to build prosperous and sustainable communities. 32．(2.5分)Which group of people would be most encouraged by the 2025 Land Greening Status Bulletin? A．Tech entrepreneurs seeking AI solutions. B．Job seekers in the forestry and tourism industries. C．Historians studying ancient karst formations. D．Urban planners focusing on industrial expansion. 33．(2.5分)What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The diverse biological species found in Guizhou Province. B．The challenges of preserving world natural heritage. C．The historical evolution of the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt.” D．The impact of eco-tourism on local consumption in Libo. 34．(2.5分)By promoting “forest-based tourism”, Yichun City is able to __________. A．decrease the overall forest coverage rate B．limit the number of visitors to avoid crowds C．witness a significant rise in online consumption D．replace all traditional agriculture with cool retreats 35．(2.5分)Which can be the best title for the text? A．China’s Rural Revitalization: A Global Model for the UN B．Booming Green Markets: Forests Become Invaluable Assets C．The Xiaoqikong Miracle: Records Broken During Holidays D．From Fragile to Vibrant: The Challenges of Land Greening （本题12.5分）At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring. ___36(2.5分)___ Wearing two glowing earrings, the girl has a slightly inhuman shade of red on her face. Look strange? ___37(2.5分)___ Chosen from 3,482 submitted images based on the Vermeer masterpiece, the AI-generated work was displayed at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands in March. The designer looked on the experience of literally replacing the famous painting by one of his AI images as crazy and completely surreal. ___38(2.5分)___ Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified to be shown in the museum gallery. ___39(2.5分)___ It was regarded as a disrespect for the masterpiece of Vermeer and also for any working artist. In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity. ___40(2.5分)___ But the technology has now become widely available for regular everyday use and the practice of using AI image generators to make art has become more common. A．Coming from a museum, it’s really embarrassing. B．However, the AI image raised a fierce argument. C．But look more closely and you may find something different about it. D．One common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws. E．Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as unoriginal. F．It’s actually an image made by Berlin-based designer Julian Dieken using artificial intelligence. G．The emergence of such AI works is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm of artists with creative skills. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I recently visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts — my first visit to an art museum in several years.

Mona Lisa was a real woman with a real story. And AI can never ____49____ art that tells a story. Art should be a labor of love. Its story and ____50____ are as much a part of the artwork as the art piece itself. My visit to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts helped me ____51____ that art museums are now more important than ever. ____52____ the rich history of human-created artwork is essential in a world where it is becoming increasingly filled with ____53____, machine-created works.

She painted with bright, explosive colors while I preferred delicate pencil sketches (素描). Together, we often joked that she painted the world as it should be, and I painted it as it felt. Then came the news. The city’s art academy was offering a scholarship to young artists under 18, and the application required a single original piece. Sophia grabbed my hands. “This is our chance!” We promised to support each other, spending afternoons in my studio, painting side by side, and sharing half-finished works and gentle encouragement. But as the deadline drew closer, doubt began to grow in both of us. Sophia would stare at her brilliant sunset and sigh. “It’s too bright — almost childish,” she said. “Yours has real depth, Lily. The shadows, the stillness — they make people feel something.” I shook my head. “Mine is just sad and lonely,” I insisted. “Yours is full of joy and energy. That’s what people want to see.” She looked at me with wide, puzzled eyes. “Really? I’ve been lying awake thinking mine is nothing but noise.” We fell silent, each trapped in our own insecurity, each secretly admiring the other’s gift. “Sophia,” I said, forcing calmness into my voice, “you should submit yours. You deserve this.” She turned, her brush still wet. “I was going to say the same to you.” She stopped, biting her lip, and then reached for her phone and scrolled (滑动) through the competition page. “Wait,” she murmured (咕哝), pointing at the fine print. “It says we can submit as a team.” She looked up at me, a small smile forming. “We don’t have to compete against each other. What if we do something together?” I looked from her to our paintings — hers so full of light, mine wrapped in shadow — and something clicked. “They’re not competing,” I said slowly. “They’re completing each other.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We decided to create a painting together for the competition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three months later, the letter from the academy finally arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。So what do you think it's . a strange picture?

We feel closer to them than two other works. All our glass was left to the museum by its founder when he died in eighteen seventy eight. And in the terms of his will, we're not allowed to add anything to that collection. He believed IT was perfect in itself, and we don't see any reason to disagree. Okay, that was something about the collections. And now here's some more practical information. In case you needed, most of the museum facilities are downstairs, so you go down the stairs here.

M: Well. First, art can make our world beautiful and makes us feel good. Some paintings may not seem beautiful when we first look at them. But when we take a second look, they engage our minds. We are able to see a beauty that we did not see at first. W: We can get that same feeling by looking at nature. M: True, but art makes our lives better in ways that nature can never do. In contrast to nature, art must be interpreted and understood. When we try to understand an artwork, it is as though we entered into a conversation with the artist.

His job was routine, and he often felt invisible, like part of the furniture. His world was one of silence and shadows. One rainy Tuesday, as Leo was making his final round, he noticed a small, leather-bound sketchbook (素描本) left on a bench. He picked it up, intending to hand it to the lost-and-found. However, a quick glance revealed pages with astonishingly beautiful drawings of the museum’s sculptures, each one filled with light and life that the cold stone originals seemed to lack. Instead of delivering the book to the office, Leo felt a strange urge to keep it for one night. At home, under his lamp, he paged through every page. The artist had not only drawn the art but had also composed little stories next to each piece — a warrior’s homesickness, a goddess’s secret smile. Leo was deeply moved. For the first time, he saw the museum through someone else’s eyes, and it was magical. The next day, Leo placed the sketchbook back on the same bench, adding a brief note, “Your art made the statues breathe. Thank you.” He didn’t expect a reply. A week later, the sketchbook was gone, but in its place was a new drawing. It was a portrait of a night guard, not in uniform, but dressed as a wise guardian, watching over the sleeping art with a kind expression. Beneath it was written, “To the one who sees. You are not part of the furniture. You are its keeper.” This simple exchange transformed Leo’s perspective entirely. He started to appreciate small, beautiful details in his nightly rounds — the way moonlight fell on a marble floor, the peaceful expression of a sleeping cherub (小天使). He even began leaving his own short, appreciative notes for the mysterious artist, commenting on new drawings that occasionally appeared. This silent conversation became a source of joy for both. Leo no longer felt invisible. He felt seen, connected to the art and to another soul who saw the world with wonder. He realized that everyone has the power to touch others, sometimes without even saying a word. The museum was no longer just a workplace; it had become a world of shared understanding, waiting in the quiet dark. 24．(2.5分)What was Leo’s initial feeling about his job? A．Proud and valued. B．Curious and cheerful. C．Busy and interactive. D．Lonely and unimportant. 25．(2.5分)Why did Leo keep the sketchbook for one night? A．He thought it was left there for him. B．He planned to return it the next day. C．He was deeply attracted by its contents. D．He forgot to hand it to the lost-and-found. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer about the mysterious artist from the new drawing and the words? A．He taught Leo artistic skills. B．He was a former night guard. C．He understood Leo’s feelings. D．He offered Leo an official position. 27．(2.5分)What is the main message of the story? A．Night guards lead interesting lives. B．Art has the power to connect people. C．Lost items should be returned rapidly. D．Museums are places for silent conversations. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是博物馆夜班守卫利奥（Leo）原本觉得自己的工作单调乏味，在收到一幅以他为原型、肯定他守护者身份的画作后他开始留意工作中的美好细节，还与神秘画家进行无声对话。最终，利奥不再感到孤独，意识到艺术能连接人与人。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段“His job was routine, and he often felt invisible, like part of the furniture.(他的工作单调乏味，他常常觉得自己是被忽略的存在，仿佛是博物馆里的家具一样。)”可知，利奥最初对自己的工作感到孤独且毫无意义。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段“However, a quick glance revealed pages with astonishingly beautiful drawings of the museum’s sculptures, each one filled with light and life that the cold stone originals seemed to lack.(然而，匆匆一瞥后他发现里面有很多精美的画作，描绘的是博物馆里的雕塑，每一幅都充满了光与生机，而那些冰冷的原石雕塑似乎缺少了这些元素。)”和第三段“Instead of delivering the book to the office, Leo felt a strange urge to keep it for one night.(利奥没有把这本书送到办公室，而是有一种奇怪的冲动，想要将它留在家里过一夜。)”可知，利奥把那本素描本留了一晚是因为他被里面的画作深深吸引住了。故选C。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“It was a portrait of a night guard, not in uniform, but dressed as a wise guardian, watching over the sleeping art with a kind expression．Beneath it was written, “To the one who sees．You are not part of the furniture．You are its keeper.”(画中是一位夜班守卫的肖像，他没有穿制服，而是身着智者守护者的服饰，带着和善的表情守护着沉睡的艺术品。画下方写着：“致那位能洞察一切的人。你并非博物馆里无人关注的家具，你是它的守护者。”)”可知，从这幅新画作和那些文字中，我们可以推断出这位神秘的艺术家理解利奥的感受。故选C。 27．主旨大意题。根据倒数第三段“It was a portrait of a night guard, not in uniform, but dressed as a wise guardian, watching over the sleeping art with a kind expression．Beneath it was written, “To the one who sees．You are not part of the furniture．You are its keeper.”(画中是一位夜班守卫的肖像，他没有穿制服，而是身着智者守护者的服饰，带着和善的表情守护着沉睡的艺术品。画下方写着：“致那位能洞察一切的人。你并非博物馆里无人关注的家具，你是它的守护者。”)”和最后一段“This silent conversation became a source of joy for both．Leo no longer felt invisible．He felt seen, connected to the art and to another soul who saw the world with wonder.(他感到自己被看见，与艺术品以及另一位以惊奇眼光看待世界的灵魂产生了联系。)”可知，本文主要讲的是博物馆夜班守卫利奥（Leo）原本觉得自己的工作单调乏味，在收到一幅以他为原型、肯定他守护者身份的画作后他开始留意工作中的美好细节，还与神秘画家进行无声对话。最终，利奥不再感到孤独，意识到艺术能连接人与人，因此这个故事传递的主要信息是艺术具有使人连接在一起的力量。故选B。 （本题10分）In an age when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly engaged in the creative process, a question is raised for viewers and institutions: What is considered as art when the human hand is no longer directly involved in crafting the work? Major museums are now struggling with this question and are trying to teach the public to see beyond mere visual excitement. For pioneering AI artists, the act of art creation lies in writing code and curating (策展) data. They spend months or even years building and polishing AI models, adding their ideas into every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states, “I don’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s point of view.” Another artist, Refik Anadol, has even planned to build an AI art museum in Los Angeles. Named Dataland, the museum will have its own AI model for use by artists — built with support from Google and Nvidia and trained on half a billion images, all collected with the permission of the owners. AI art is not entirely new, as it has roots in computer experiments from the 1960s. It stepped into public view in 2018 when Portrait of Edmond de Belamy was sold at Christie’s. Today, some museums like the Tate Modern recognize it as a “cultural milestone.” However, others such as the Nasher Museum remain hesitant. Some curators even argue that AI does not qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired of works that rely only on technological novelty. At the New York Armory Show in 1913, American audiences were perturbed about cubism (立体主义). Today’s AI-generated works arouse similar unease, challenging audiences to decide whether new tools expand or narrow the meaning of art. As MoMA’s curator Paola Antonelli notes, the initial restlessness with new technology eventually gives way to calmness, and audiences will develop their own critical sense to determine which institutions and works truly matter in this developing era. 28．(2.5分)What is pioneering AI artists’ focus of art creation? A．The artist’s insight. B．The data collection. C．The visual technology. D．The physical craftsmanship. 29．(2.5分)What concern do doubtful curators raise about AI art? A．AI art’s technology may become outdated easily. B．AI-generated works’ appeal may disappear soon. C．AI art’s technology holds no cultural significance. D．AI-generated works don’t make artists qualified. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean? A．Passionate. B．Curious. C．Uninformed. D．Unsettled. 31．(2.5分)What is the main focus of the passage? A．History of AI technology in art creation. B．Strategies of using AI in art for more audiences. C．Argument over the artistic nature of AI works. D．Differences between traditional art and digital art. 【答案】28．A 29．B 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文探讨了人工智能艺术的艺术本质争议及其在主流艺术界的接受过程。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“For pioneering AI artists, the act of art creation lies in writing code and curating (策展) data. They spend months or even years building and polishing AI models, adding their ideas into every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states,‘I don’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s point of view.’ (对于开创性的人工智能艺术家来说，艺术创作的行为在于编写代码和整理数据。他们花了几个月甚至几年的时间来构建和完善AI模型，将他们的想法添加到每个技术细节中。艺术家Casey Reas说：‘我并不真的相信艺术家的手；我相信艺术家的观点。’)”可知，先锋AI艺术家的创作核心是传递个人观点与洞察。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Some curators even argue that AI does not qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired of works that rely only on technological novelty．(一些策展人甚至认为AI作品不配被称为艺术，并警告说观众会很快对仅依赖技术新颖性的作品感到厌倦。)”可知，持怀疑态度的策展人担忧AI作品的吸引力会迅速消退。 30．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“At the New York Armory Show in 1913, American audiences were perturbed about cubism(立体主义)．Today’s AI-generated works arouse similar unease, challenging audiences to decide whether new tools expand or narrow the meaning of art．(1913年纽约军械库展览上，美国观众对立体主义感到perturbed。当今AI生成的作品引起类似的不安，挑战观众决定新工具是扩大还是缩小艺术的意义。)，由“similar unease (类似的不安)”可知，perturbed意为“不安的”，与unsettled意义一致。 31．主旨大意题。 根据全文内容，从开篇提出“What is considered as art when the human hand is no longer directly involved in crafting the work? (当人类不再直接参与作品创作时，什么才算是艺术？)”的核心问题，到介绍先锋AI艺术家的创作理念、博物馆的不同态度，再到通过历史类比探讨公众接受度，均围绕AI作品的艺术属性争议展开。 （本题10分）As China accelerates its large-scale land greening and ecological restoration, once fragile ecosystems are transforming into vibrant tourism destinations. Forests, wetlands and karst landscapes have become powerful engines for consumption and employment. According to the 2025 China Land Greening Status Bulletin, the country completed afforestation of over 3.5 million hectares, with the forest coverage rate reaching 25.09%. This ecological miracle has fueled a total industry output value of 11 trillion yuan, directly driving employment for over 60 million people. This green transformation has created booming tourism markets. In Libo County, Guizhou Province, the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area — known as the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt” — has thrived. During the 2025 May Day holiday, single-day visitor numbers exceeded 70,000, setting a historical record. New activities such as hiking, heritage exploration and transparent boating have extended average visitor stays from four-and-a-half to around seven hours, effectively maximizing local consumption. Similarly, in northeastern Heilongjiang, Yichun City — known as China’s “Forest Metropolis”— boasts an 83.8% forest coverage rate. During the 2025 holidays, the city saw a 13.5% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, while online tourism consumption surged by 369.2%. This growth was driven largely by “forest-based tourism” and cool summer retreats. The ecological gains extend deep into rural revitalization. Currently, 19 Chinese villages have been named on the UN Tourism’s “Best Tourism Villages” list, the highest number in the world. Officials underscored that the nationwide “Beautiful China” initiative has successfully turned lush mountains into invaluable assets, leveraging eco-tourism to build prosperous and sustainable communities. 32．(2.5分)Which group of people would be most encouraged by the 2025 Land Greening Status Bulletin? A．Tech entrepreneurs seeking AI solutions. B．Job seekers in the forestry and tourism industries. C．Historians studying ancient karst formations. D．Urban planners focusing on industrial expansion. 33．(2.5分)What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The diverse biological species found in Guizhou Province. B．The challenges of preserving world natural heritage. C．The historical evolution of the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt.” D．The impact of eco-tourism on local consumption in Libo. 34．(2.5分)By promoting “forest-based tourism”, Yichun City is able to __________.

A．China’s Rural Revitalization: A Global Model for the UN B．Booming Green Markets: Forests Become Invaluable Assets C．The Xiaoqikong Miracle: Records Broken During Holidays D．From Fragile to Vibrant: The Challenges of Land Greening 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．B 【导语】文章主要介绍我国大力推进国土绿化与生态修复，生态资源带动生态旅游蓬勃发展，拉动产业产值、促进就业，以贵州荔波、黑龙江伊春为例展现生态旅游红利，同时说明生态建设助力乡村振兴，绿水青山转化为宝贵财富。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据原文第一段“According to the 2025 China Land Greening Status Bulletin, the country completed afforestation of over 3.5 million hectares, with the forest coverage rate reaching 25. 09%.(根据《2025 年中国国土绿化状况公报》，全国完成造林面积超350万公顷，森林覆盖率达到25.09%。)”及“This ecological miracle has fueled a total industry output value of 11 trillion yuan, directly driving employment for over 60 million people.(这一生态奇迹带动产业总产值达到11万亿元，直接带动6000多万人就业。)”可知，林业和旅游行业的求职者会受到这份2025年国土绿化状况公报的鼓舞。 33．主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“This green transformation has created booming tourism markets．In Libo County, Guizhou Province, the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area — known as the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt” — has thrived. (这场绿色转型催生了蓬勃发展的旅游市场。在贵州省荔波县，有着“地球腰带上的绿宝石”之称的小七孔景区蓬勃发展。)”以及本段介绍荔波小七孔景区游客量创新高、各类游玩项目延长游客停留时间、拉动本地消费的内容可知，第二段主要讲述生态旅游对荔波本地消费产生的积极影响。 34．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“During the 2025 holidays, the city saw a 13.5% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, while online tourism consumption surged by 369.2%．This growth was driven largely by “forest-based tourism” and cool summer retreats.(2025年节假日期间，该市游客量同比增长13.5%，线上旅游消费暴涨369.2%。这一增长主要依靠森林旅游和清凉避暑项目拉动。)”可知，通过发展森林旅游，伊春实现线上消费大幅上涨。 35．主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段“Officials underscored that the nationwide “Beautiful China” initiative has successfully turned lush mountains into invaluable assets, leveraging eco-tourism to build prosperous and sustainable communities.(相关官员强调，全国开展的“美丽中国”建设行动已成功将绿水青山转化为宝贵财富，依托生态旅游打造繁荣且可持续发展的乡村。)”及全文内容可知，全文围绕国土绿化带来绿色产业、生态旅游市场繁荣展开，核心主题是绿色市场蓬勃发展，山林成为宝贵财富，因此最佳标题为“蓬勃兴起的绿色市场：山林化作无价之宝”。 （本题12.5分）At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring. ___36(2.5分)___ Wearing two glowing earrings, the girl has a slightly inhuman shade of red on her face. Look strange? ___37(2.5分)___ Chosen from 3,482 submitted images based on the Vermeer masterpiece, the AI-generated work was displayed at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands in March. The designer looked on the experience of literally replacing the famous painting by one of his AI images as crazy and completely surreal. ___38(2.5分)___ Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified to be shown in the museum gallery. ___39(2.5分)___ It was regarded as a disrespect for the masterpiece of Vermeer and also for any working artist. In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity. ___40(2.5分)___ But the technology has now become widely available for regular everyday use and the practice of using AI image generators to make art has become more common. A．Coming from a museum, it’s really embarrassing. B．However, the AI image raised a fierce argument. C．But look more closely and you may find something different about it. D．One common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws. E．Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as unoriginal.

G．The emergence of such AI works is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm of artists with creative skills. 【答案】36．C 37．F 38．B 39．E 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了一幅模仿维米尔杰作的AI生成画作在美术馆展出后引发争议，进而探讨人工智能在艺术创作领域的角色及相关争议。 【详解】36．上文指出“At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring.(乍一看，这幅作品似乎是荷兰画家Johannes Vermeer的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》。)”乍一看，这似乎是荷兰画家Johannes Vermeer的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》；而下文“(少女佩戴着两枚熠熠生辉的耳环，脸上却透着一抹略显违和的红晕。)”则描述了这幅作品里少女的细节。选项C“But look more closely and you may find something different about it. (但凑近细看，你或许会发现它有些与众不同之处。)”起到了承上启下的作用，既衔接了“乍一看”的内容，又引出下文对作品细节的描述，暗示这幅画并非原作。故选C。 37．上文提出疑问“Look strange?(看着有些怪异？)”；而下文“Chosen from 3,482 submitted images based on the Vermeer masterpiece, the AI-generated work was displayed at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands in March．(这幅AI生成作品从3482幅以维米尔这幅杰作为蓝本的投稿作品中脱颖而出，于今年3月在荷兰莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆展出。)”介绍这幅人工智能生成的作品从3482幅以维米尔杰作为原型的投稿作品中脱颖而出，于3月在荷兰莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆展出。选项F“It’s actually an image made by Berlin-based designer Julian Dieken using artificial intelligence.(这幅作品其实是柏林设计师Julian Dieken借助人工智能技术创作的图像。)”直接回答了前文的疑问，解释了这幅奇怪作品的来源，同时与后一句中的“AI-generated work”形成呼应。故选F。 38．下文“Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified to be shown in the museum gallery.(尽管莫瑞泰斯美术馆的新闻官Boris de Munnick坚称，这是一幅佳作，其创作过程也颇具创意，但许多人却质疑它是否算得上艺术，以及它是否有资格进驻美术馆展厅。)”指出这幅AI作品引发了争议。选项B“However, the AI image raised a fierce argument.(然而，这幅人工智能图像却引发了激烈的争议。)”是总起句，概括了后文的核心内容，“however”也体现出与前文“作品展出”的转折关系。故选B。 39．上文“Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified to be shown in the museum gallery.(尽管莫瑞泰斯美术馆的新闻官Boris de Munnick坚称，这是一幅佳作，其创作过程也颇具创意，但许多人却质疑它是否算得上艺术，以及它是否有资格进驻美术馆展厅。)”指出很多人质疑它是否能被称为艺术；而下文“It was regarded as a disrespect for the masterpiece of Vermeer and also for any working artist.(人们认为这既是对Vermeer杰作的亵渎，也是对所有职业艺术家的不尊重。)”则补充指出这被认为是对Vermeer杰作以及所有从业艺术家的不尊重。选项E“Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as unoriginal．(荷兰艺术家Iris Compiet称这幅展出的图像缺乏原创性)”是对前文质疑的具体举例，说明艺术家群体对这幅AI作品的看法，同时支撑了后一句“不尊重艺术家”的观点。故选E。 40．上一句“In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity.(事实上，这并非人们首次就人工智能在创意领域的角色展开争论。)”指出，这并非人们首次争论人工智能在创造力领域的角色；而下一句“But the technology has now become widely available for regular everyday use and the practice of using AI image generators to make art has become more common.(但如今，这项技术已普及至日常应用，借助AI图像生成器进行艺术创作的做法也变得愈发常见。)”则转折提出用人工智能图像生成器创作艺术的做法也变得更加普遍。选项D“One common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws.(一个普遍的担忧是，人工智能生成的作品是否违反了版权法。)”是对前文争论内容的具体说明，指出了人们对AI创作的担忧点，与后文的技术普及形成对比。故选D。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I recently visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts — my first visit to an art museum in several years.

She painted with bright, explosive colors while I preferred delicate pencil sketches (素描). Together, we often joked that she painted the world as it should be, and I painted it as it felt. Then came the news. The city’s art academy was offering a scholarship to young artists under 18, and the application required a single original piece. Sophia grabbed my hands. “This is our chance!” We promised to support each other, spending afternoons in my studio, painting side by side, and sharing half-finished works and gentle encouragement. But as the deadline drew closer, doubt began to grow in both of us. Sophia would stare at her brilliant sunset and sigh. “It’s too bright — almost childish,” she said. “Yours has real depth, Lily. The shadows, the stillness — they make people feel something.” I shook my head. “Mine is just sad and lonely,” I insisted. “Yours is full of joy and energy. That’s what people want to see.” She looked at me with wide, puzzled eyes. “Really? I’ve been lying awake thinking mine is nothing but noise.” We fell silent, each trapped in our own insecurity, each secretly admiring the other’s gift. “Sophia,” I said, forcing calmness into my voice, “you should submit yours. You deserve this.” She turned, her brush still wet. “I was going to say the same to you.” She stopped, biting her lip, and then reached for her phone and scrolled (滑动) through the competition page. “Wait,” she murmured (咕哝), pointing at the fine print. “It says we can submit as a team.” She looked up at me, a small smile forming. “We don’t have to compete against each other. What if we do something together?” I looked from her to our paintings — hers so full of light, mine wrapped in shadow — and something clicked. “They’re not competing,” I said slowly. “They’re completing each other.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We decided to create a painting together for the competition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three months later, the letter from the academy finally arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: We decided to create a painting together for the competition. After hours of debate, we drew a city scene — her golden sunlight flooding the left side, my soft shadows stealing in from the right. We worked day and night, sometimes arguing over brushstrokes, sometimes laughing at our mistakes, but always trusting each other’s skills. The final piece, which we named “Duality,” felt like a conversation between our souls. We mailed it off with a shared breath, knowing that win or lose, we had already created something neither of us could have achieved alone. Three months later, the letter from the academy finally arrived. I tore it open with shaking fingers. We did not win the scholarship, but our painting earned a special mention and would be displayed in the main hall of the city museum. The judges wrote that our work “revealed a rare harmony between contrast and unity.” We hugged each other, tears in our eyes. The prize we had imagined was replaced by something better — our art would speak to strangers. That afternoon, we began dreaming of our next work, no longer afraid of shadows or light. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四年前作者和Sophia在暑期艺术营相遇后成为朋友，两人绘画风格互补，市立艺术学院举办了一项比赛，两人在创作过程中都被自己的不安所困，却暗自欣赏着对方的才华，Sophia提议两人组队参赛，不必彼此竞争。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写两人合作创作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写揭晓获奖结果和两人的感受。 2． 续写线索：两人共同创作——寄出作品——结果揭晓——两人含泪相拥——感悟 3． 词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：achieve/accomplish ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①眼中含泪：tears in our eyes/our eyes glistening with tears ②害怕：afraid/scared 【点睛】[高分句型1] The final piece, which we named “Duality,” felt like a conversation between our souls.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] We mailed it off with a shared breath, knowing that win or lose, we had already created something neither of us could have achieved alone.（运用了现在分词作状语、that引导的宾语从句和省略关系词that的定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
