The painting is the most expensive artwork ever sold that was created by a human-like robot. The painting is called “AI God: Portrait of Alan Turing”. Mr Turing was an English math genius who came up with many of the important ideas that led to modern-day computers. He was an important part of the early thinking about artificial intelligence(AI). The painting is the work of Ai-Da, a human-like robot that’s able to paint and take part in conversations. The idea for Ai-Da came from Aidan Meller, an Englishman who used to run an art gallery. He worked with a group of nearly 30 people to build and program Ai-Da. Ai-Da’s name is clever—the first part of the name is “AI”. But Ai-Da was also named after Ada Lovelace, who is considered the world’s first computer programmer. Ai-Da is designed to look like a woman with short black hair. Cameras allow the robot to “see”. Ai-Da paints with a robotic arm which can hold a pen or paintbrush. Using AI tools similar to ChatGPT, Ai-Da is also able to talk. This allows the robot to do interviews and answer questions about its artwork. Mr Meller says Ai-Da doesn’t just paint whatever it’s told to paint. Before the robot begins painting, it talks with its human helpers about what the subject should be. Before the painting of Mr Turing, Mr Meller says they discussed the idea of using “AI for good”. Ai-Da chose Mr Turing as a subject because of the important part he played in developing computers and AI. Ai-Da based its painting on a picture of Mr Turing it had “seen” with its cameras. Ai-Da then used its painting arm to make 15 paintings of different parts of Mr Turing’s face. Each painting took six to eight hours to complete. These paintings are about the size of two pieces of notebook paper laid side by side. That’s the largest Ai-Da’s arm can manage. Finally, Ai-Da chose three of the paintings and combined them into the final painting. Once the painting was finished, a special 3D printer was used to expand Ai-Da’s small artwork into the full-sized painting. ( )1. Who came up with the idea of using a robot to paint? A. Ai-Da. B. Alan Turing. C. Aidan Meller. D. Ada Lovelace. ( )2. What do you know about Mr Turing? A. He taught Ai-Da how to paint. B. He was good at painting himself. C. He invented the robot named Ai-Da. D. He played an important role in computers and AI. ( )3. How does the writer end the passage? A. By offering the price of the painting. B. By describing the size of the painting. C. By showing the process of robot painting. D. By introducing the way of printing the painting. ( )4. In which section of a magazine can you read the text? A. Health and sport. B. History and education. C. Science and technology. D. Population and the environment. ( )5. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨ B. ①②/③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧⑨ C. ①/②③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧⑨ D. ①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦⑧⑨ 【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.C 5.A 【解析】 1.答案 C 解析：原文第三段 “The idea for Ai-Da came from Aidan Meller”，可知是 Aidan Meller 想出用机器人作画这个想法。 2.答案 D 解析：原文第二段、第七段都提到，Turing 在计算机和人工智能发展方面起到重要作用。A、B、C 和原文内容不符。 3.答案 C 解析：文章末尾三段完整描述 Ai-Da 创作这幅画的全过程：拍摄图像→分块绘制→合并作品→3D 放大。作者是以展示机器人作画的过程收尾。D 只是过程其中一步，不是结尾整体方式。 4.答案 C 解析：本文介绍 AI 机器人画家 Ai-Da，属于科技类文章，在杂志Science and technology（科技）栏目。 5.答案 A 解析： ①段：总起，机器人画作拍卖，引出话题； ②③④段：介绍画作人物 Turing、机器人 Ai-Da 的来历与命名； ⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨段：介绍机器人的能力、创作理念、完整作画流程。 结构：总 / 介绍人物与机器人 / 创作细节与过程，对应①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨。 二、阅读表达。（每题答案不超过 9 个词） In June 2024, the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology made an announcement. They discovered “people under the tree” wall paintings. They dated back to the Tang Dynasty in a tomb in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. The tomb is the latest among the dated Tang Dynasty burial chambers (墓室) decorated (装饰) with “people under the tree” wall paintings found in Taiyuan. The discovery really helps us study “people under the tree” artworks. The artistic style was very popular during the Tang Dynasty. In the main room of the tomb, the paintings on the southern part of the east wall show a life situation. On the left, the painting shows a man pushing a stone mill (磨) while a woman is working on the mill. On the far right, the painting shows a man cooking food. He has an iron pan in front of him. The pan sits atop a fire. The lower left shows a man stepping on a pestle (杵), a rice pounding tool made of wood and stone, with a bamboo basket next to the pestle. On the right side of the painting, a woman is getting water from a well using something for raising and lowering the bucket (桶) in a well. Finally, on the far right, the painting ends with the picture of a stove and a large steaming pot on it. A bit further in the painting, we can still see mountains and trees. And in the near distance, a woman in a long skirt is holding a box with both hands. Behind her, we can see a foreign trader in a yellow robe (长袍), holding the reins (缰绳) of the camels and horses in his hands. Long Zhen, a famous expert, explained that the tomb lies on the western side of the mountain facing Taiyuan. The area is an important burial area in the west of the city. Hundreds of tombs in Tang Dynasty have been discovered there. 1.Why is the discovery of the wall paintings very helpful? 2.What do the paintings on the southern part of the east wall show? 3.What is the pestle used for according to the passage? 4.Who can we see behind the woman in a long skirt in the painting? 5.What can we learn from the Tang Dynasty wall paintings? 【答案】 1.To study "people under the tree" artworks. 2.A life situation. 3. For pounding rice. 4.A foreign trader. 5.People’s life in Tang Dynasty. 【解析】 1.原文第二段 “The discovery really helps us study ‘people under the tree’ artworks.”，控制在 9 词内。 2.原文第三段 “the paintings on the southern part of the east wall show a life situation.”，直接提取。 3.原文第四段 “a pestle (杵), a rice pounding tool”，杵用来舂米。 4.原文第五段 “Behind her, we can see a foreign trader in a yellow robe”。 5.壁画描绘唐代日常生活场景，我们可以了解唐代人们的生活。 一、单选题。 1. （2026常州外国语一模）As the number of cars on the road is increasing, you ________ be too careful when crossing the street.

With love from his parents, he learned 3 (control) his powers and fight for good. The film shows Nezha’s hard journey. When villagers threw stones at him, he 4 (hide) his tears and thought, “Am I really a monster?” His mother hugged him and said, “You decide who you are.” These words made many 5 (child) cry. The most famous line—“I am the master of my own fate!”—taught us courage. The cartoons are 6 (amaze): fire dragons dance in the sky, and water battles look real. But the best part is Nezha’s heart. He protected the village 7 (brave) even when people hated him. “Fate isn’t fixed,” he shouted, breaking the old rule. This film is more than a story. It tells us: Don’t let others’ words define us.

I can’t remember which side is my right and which is my left. I know this makes no sense. After all, I have no problem telling the difference between other things. I know up from down. I know black from white. I know forks from spoons. And yet, I do not know left from right. My brain is not wired that way. This is true for many dyslexics, and I suspect multimodal large language models (MLLMs) may be dyslexic too. As a kid with dyslexia, school was very hard for me. For example, we humans created two lowercase (小写字体的) letters in the English alphabet — “b” and “d” — that are only different because one points left and one points right. For decades, I could not tell the difference. This is a very common problem among dyslexics. The same is true for telling time on traditional clock faces — it only makes sense if you know the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise. These challenges don’t end in elementary school. I still remember getting a problem wrong in a physics class at Stanford because I applied the “right-hand rule” with my left hand. Dyslexia has nothing to do with focus or intelligence — your brain just works differently from the people who created the cultural conventions we use in symbolic languages, mathematics, and many branches of science. I surely know what’s going on. It all relates to the “mind’s eye.” By this, I mean the way I visualize things inside my mind and store spatial (空间的) elements in memory. When I recall things in my mind (objects, environments, images, or text), I don’t visualize them from a fixed first-person perspective. I think about them from all directions at once. This brings me back to MLLMs that process and interpret images and videos. These models are remarkable. They can match or exceed human performance on countless tasks, for example, diagnosing cancers from visual slides better than any human. And yet, a recent study found a surprising result: Nowadays all major MLLMs have troubles in telling time on analog clocks (模拟时钟). According to the study, GPT-4.0 was only able to correctly read clock faces 8% of the time. Claude-3-5-sonnet was worse at 6%. Gemini 2.0 was the best, but still at only 20%. These numbers are surprisingly low, especially when you consider that these AI models can perform so well in other contexts. This is surprisingly similar to dyslexia in humans, not just in the simple artifacts that cause problems like clocks, but in the contradictory mix of strengths and weaknesses that enables a person like me to earn a PhD (博士学位) and work successfully as a computer scientist and engineer, and yet still fail the “turn left here” test. 1．The phrase “mind’s eye” (paragraph 4) refers to ______. A．literal visual perception through biological eyes B．a medical device used to treat dyslexia C．the brain’s ability to form and store mental images D．a metaphor for intelligence quotient (IQ) 2．What does the underlined word “interpret” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Learn. B．Understand. C．Explain. D．Translate. 3．Why do MLLMs struggle to read analog clocks accurately, according to the passage? A．Their cognitive process of spatial information is similar to that of dyslexic humans. B．They were primarily trained on digital clocks, leaving analog clock recognition underdeveloped. C．Clock faces require understanding of cultural conventions, which AI lacks compared to humans. D．Their visual recognition systems focus more on object detection like cancer diagnosis than directional interpretation. 4．Why does the author emphasize that he failed a physics task due to left-right confusion yet ultimately earned a PhD? A．To argue that universities should lower some standards for dyslexic students B．To suggest AI could make up for human limitations in scientific research. C．To reflect that physics is uniquely difficult for people with spatial processing differences. D．To highlight that dyslexia’s problems are particular rather than reflective of overall intellectual ability. 5．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Complete Guide to Dyslexia Treatments B．When Machines Mirror Human Learning disabilities C．Are Large Language Models Dyslexic? D．Why Schools Must Adapt to Dyslexic Students 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要通过作者个人经历与AI表现的类比，探讨了诵读困难的认知特点，并提出了一个有趣的猜想：多模态大语言模型(MLLMs)可能也存在类似的“数字诵读困难”。 1．第四段中“By this, I mean the way I visualize things inside my mind and store spatial ( 空间的) elements in memory.”明确解释了 “mind’s eye”的含义，即在脑海中想象事物并在记忆中存储空间元素的方式，选项C与之对应。 2．第五段第一句“This brings me back to MLLMs that process and interpret images and videos.”中，process“处理”与“interpret”动词并列，推断出“interpret”在语境中为“对图像和视频进行理解和解读”之意，选项B“理解”与之对应。 3．第五段“Nowadays all major MLLMs have troubles in telling time on analog clocks (模拟时钟).”提到了MLLMs在阅读模拟时钟时表现极差，最后一段“This is surprisingly similar to dyslexia in humans, not just in the simple artifacts that cause problems like clocks, but in the contradictory mix of strengths and weaknesses...”指出了原因，即MLLMs的问题与人类诵读困难者的认知特点相似——在处理空间方向信息（如左右、时钟方向）时存在特定障碍，但在其他任务上表现优异。选项A与之对应。 4．第四段第一句“Dyslexia has nothing to do with focus or intelligence”表明阅读障碍与专注力或智力毫无关系，最后一段“...but in the contradictory mix of strengths and weaknesses that enables a person like me to earn a PhD (博士学位) and work successfully as a computer scientist and engineer, and yet still fail the “turn left here” test.”指出诵读困难者具有优势与劣势的矛盾组合，从而表明诵读困难的问题只是特定的，并不反映整体智力水平。选项D与之对应。 5．文章描述主线为作者先讲述自己作为诵读困难者的体验(左右不分、时钟困难)；再将这种体验与MLLMs在类似任务(如读模拟时钟)上的失败进行类比；最后探讨MLLMs是否也可能存在某种“数字诵读困难”。选项C与之对应。 四、首字母填空。 （2026·江苏连云港·一模）根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整正确的单词。 Kouji is a type of Chinese folk art. Performers use their mouths, teeth, tongues, throats, noses and so on to copy different sounds in n 1 and daily life. Kouji has a long history. Years ago, people copied the sounds of birds in o 2 to catch them. They also copied frightening sounds to k 3 dangerous animals off. This is the earliest form of human l 4 and the predecessor (前身) of Kouji , but not the real Kouji. Kouji didn’t become a performance (表演) art u 5 the Song Dynasty. The shows such as Xuexiangtan and Bainiaoming were possibly Kouji performances. Besides, the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters in Song and Yuan operas were b 6 to be played by Kouji performers behind the stage. In the Qing Dynasty, Kouji developed into a new form where performers could tell whole stories by m 7 several different sounds. A famous performer named “Hundred-Bird Zhang” was especially f 8 for his wonderful bird sounds—he copied the calls of over a hundred bird species so perfectly that even real birds would sometimes reply to his mimicry. Since the end of the 20th century, Kouji has been widely used in different kinds of art performances and seen as a s 9 art form. It is often connected with story-telling or shows d 10 performances. In 2011, Kouji was included in the third batch of the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. 【答案】 1．nature/ature 2．order/rder 3．keep/eep 4．language/anguage 5．until/ntil 6．believed/elieved 7．making/aking 8．famous/amous 9．special/pecial 10．during/uring 【导语】本文介绍了中国民间艺术口技，讲述了其起源、发展历程以及在不同历史时期的表现形式，体现了口技这一艺术形式的独特魅力和重要地位。 1．句意：表演者用他们的嘴、牙齿、舌头、喉咙、鼻子等来模仿自然界和日常生活中的不同声音。该处需一个名词，在句中作介词“in”的宾语，根据语境可知，口技表演者模仿自然界和日常生活中的声音，结合首字母“n”，应填“nature”，表示“自然界”。 2．句意：多年前，人们模仿鸟的声音以便捕捉它们。该处需一个名词，与“in”和“to”构成固定短语，根据语境可知，人们模仿鸟的声音是为了捕捉它们，“in order to”表示“为了”，结合首字母“o”，应填“order”。 3．句意：他们还模仿可怕的声音来赶走危险的动物。该处需一个动词，在句中作谓语，与“off”构成固定短语，根据语境可知，模仿可怕的声音是为了赶走危险的动物，“keep off”表示“使……不接近，赶走”，结合首字母“k”，且此处描述过去的情况，用动词原形即可，应填“keep”。 4．句意：这是人类语言的最早形式，也是口技的前身，但不是真正的口技。该处需一个名词，在句中作介词“of”的宾语，根据语境可知，模仿声音是人类语言的最早形式，结合首字母“l”，应填“language”，表示“语言”。 5．句意：口技直到宋朝才成为一种表演艺术。该处需一个连词，引导时间状语从句，根据语境可知，口技直到宋朝才成为表演艺术，“not...until...”表示“直到……才……”，结合首字母“u”，应填“until”。 6．句意：此外，宋元戏曲中狗的吠声和公鸡的啼鸣声被认为是由舞台后面的口技表演者发出的。该处需一个动词，在句中作谓语，主语是“the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters”，与“play”之间是被动关系，描述过去的情况，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were+动词的过去分词”，结合首字母“b”，应填“believed”，“be believed to”表示“被认为”。 7．句意：在清朝，口技发展成一种新的形式，表演者可以通过发出几种不同的声音来讲述整个故事。该处需一个动词，在句中作介词“by”的宾语，应用动名词形式，根据语境可知，表演者通过发出不同的声音来讲述故事，结合首字母“m”，应填“making”，“make sounds”表示“发出声音”。 8．句意：一位名叫“百鸟张”的著名表演者尤其以他美妙的鸟声而闻名——他模仿了超过一百种鸟类的叫声，模仿得如此完美，以至于甚至真正的鸟有时也会回应他的模仿。该处需一个形容词，在句中作表语，根据语境可知，“百鸟张”以他美妙的鸟声而闻名，“be famous for”表示“以……而闻名”，结合首字母“f”，应填“famous”。 9．句意：自20世纪末以来，口技已被广泛应用于各种艺术表演中，并被视为一种特殊的艺术形式。该处需一个形容词，在句中作定语，修饰名词“art form”，根据语境可知，口技被视为一种特殊的艺术形式，结合首字母“s”，应填“special”，表示“特殊的”。 10．句意：它经常与讲故事或表演期间的展示联系在一起。该处需一个介词，与“performances”构成时间状语，根据语境可知，口技与表演期间的展示联系在一起，结合首字母“d”，应填“during”，表示“在……期间”。 1. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 The art of the brush 课时3 Reading2分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 拓展 链接中考 词汇 【答案】character;artistic;breath;pressure;pride;beautifully 句型 1. 【答案】 have developed from；over thousands of years. 2. 【答案】 an artistic form of ; is admired by ； at home and abroad 3. 【答案】my breath slow down；my mind get quiet. 4. 【答案】with pride and happiness ；puts up my work 一、单词默写。 【答案】character;artistic;breath;pressure;pride;beautifully 2、 词组默写。 【答案】1.Chinese characters2.developed from...to...3.over thousands of year 4.be admired by5. at home and abroad 6.its unique beauty7.my breath slow down 8. pick up9. with pride and happiness10.

The painting is the most expensive artwork ever sold that was created by a human-like robot. The painting is called “AI God: Portrait of Alan Turing”. Mr Turing was an English math genius who came up with many of the important ideas that led to modern-day computers. He was an important part of the early thinking about artificial intelligence(AI). The painting is the work of Ai-Da, a human-like robot that’s able to paint and take part in conversations. The idea for Ai-Da came from Aidan Meller, an Englishman who used to run an art gallery. He worked with a group of nearly 30 people to build and program Ai-Da. Ai-Da’s name is clever—the first part of the name is “AI”. But Ai-Da was also named after Ada Lovelace, who is considered the world’s first computer programmer. Ai-Da is designed to look like a woman with short black hair. Cameras allow the robot to “see”. Ai-Da paints with a robotic arm which can hold a pen or paintbrush. Using AI tools similar to ChatGPT, Ai-Da is also able to talk. This allows the robot to do interviews and answer questions about its artwork. Mr Meller says Ai-Da doesn’t just paint whatever it’s told to paint. Before the robot begins painting, it talks with its human helpers about what the subject should be. Before the painting of Mr Turing, Mr Meller says they discussed the idea of using “AI for good”. Ai-Da chose Mr Turing as a subject because of the important part he played in developing computers and AI. Ai-Da based its painting on a picture of Mr Turing it had “seen” with its cameras. Ai-Da then used its painting arm to make 15 paintings of different parts of Mr Turing’s face. Each painting took six to eight hours to complete. These paintings are about the size of two pieces of notebook paper laid side by side. That’s the largest Ai-Da’s arm can manage. Finally, Ai-Da chose three of the paintings and combined them into the final painting. Once the painting was finished, a special 3D printer was used to expand Ai-Da’s small artwork into the full-sized painting. ( )1. Who came up with the idea of using a robot to paint? A. Ai-Da. B. Alan Turing. C. Aidan Meller. D. Ada Lovelace. ( )2. What do you know about Mr Turing? A. He taught Ai-Da how to paint. B. He was good at painting himself. C. He invented the robot named Ai-Da. D. He played an important role in computers and AI. ( )3. How does the writer end the passage? A. By offering the price of the painting. B. By describing the size of the painting. C. By showing the process of robot painting. D. By introducing the way of printing the painting. ( )4. In which section of a magazine can you read the text? A. Health and sport. B.

They discovered “people under the tree” wall paintings. They dated back to the Tang Dynasty in a tomb in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. The tomb is the latest among the dated Tang Dynasty burial chambers (墓室) decorated (装饰) with “people under the tree” wall paintings found in Taiyuan. The discovery really helps us study “people under the tree” artworks. The artistic style was very popular during the Tang Dynasty. In the main room of the tomb, the paintings on the southern part of the east wall show a life situation. On the left, the painting shows a man pushing a stone mill (磨) while a woman is working on the mill. On the far right, the painting shows a man cooking food. He has an iron pan in front of him. The pan sits atop a fire. The lower left shows a man stepping on a pestle (杵), a rice pounding tool made of wood and stone, with a bamboo basket next to the pestle. On the right side of the painting, a woman is getting water from a well using something for raising and lowering the bucket (桶) in a well. Finally, on the far right, the painting ends with the picture of a stove and a large steaming pot on it. A bit further in the painting, we can still see mountains and trees. And in the near distance, a woman in a long skirt is holding a box with both hands. Behind her, we can see a foreign trader in a yellow robe (长袍), holding the reins (缰绳) of the camels and horses in his hands. Long Zhen, a famous expert, explained that the tomb lies on the western side of the mountain facing Taiyuan. The area is an important burial area in the west of the city. Hundreds of tombs in Tang Dynasty have been discovered there. 1.Why is the discovery of the wall paintings very helpful? 2.What do the paintings on the southern part of the east wall show? 3.What is the pestle used for according to the passage? 4.Who can we see behind the woman in a long skirt in the painting? 5.What can we learn from the Tang Dynasty wall paintings? 一、单选题。 1. （2026常州外国语一模）As the number of cars on the road is increasing, you ________ be too careful when crossing the street.

I can’t remember which side is my right and which is my left. I know this makes no sense. After all, I have no problem telling the difference between other things. I know up from down. I know black from white. I know forks from spoons. And yet, I do not know left from right. My brain is not wired that way. This is true for many dyslexics, and I suspect multimodal large language models (MLLMs) may be dyslexic too. As a kid with dyslexia, school was very hard for me. For example, we humans created two lowercase (小写字体的) letters in the English alphabet — “b” and “d” — that are only different because one points left and one points right. For decades, I could not tell the difference. This is a very common problem among dyslexics. The same is true for telling time on traditional clock faces — it only makes sense if you know the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise. These challenges don’t end in elementary school. I still remember getting a problem wrong in a physics class at Stanford because I applied the “right-hand rule” with my left hand. Dyslexia has nothing to do with focus or intelligence — your brain just works differently from the people who created the cultural conventions we use in symbolic languages, mathematics, and many branches of science. I surely know what’s going on. It all relates to the “mind’s eye.” By this, I mean the way I visualize things inside my mind and store spatial (空间的) elements in memory. When I recall things in my mind (objects, environments, images, or text), I don’t visualize them from a fixed first-person perspective. I think about them from all directions at once. This brings me back to MLLMs that process and interpret images and videos. These models are remarkable. They can match or exceed human performance on countless tasks, for example, diagnosing cancers from visual slides better than any human. And yet, a recent study found a surprising result: Nowadays all major MLLMs have troubles in telling time on analog clocks (模拟时钟). According to the study, GPT-4.0 was only able to correctly read clock faces 8% of the time. Claude-3-5-sonnet was worse at 6%. Gemini 2.0 was the best, but still at only 20%. These numbers are surprisingly low, especially when you consider that these AI models can perform so well in other contexts. This is surprisingly similar to dyslexia in humans, not just in the simple artifacts that cause problems like clocks, but in the contradictory mix of strengths and weaknesses that enables a person like me to earn a PhD (博士学位) and work successfully as a computer scientist and engineer, and yet still fail the “turn left here” test. 1．The phrase “mind’s eye” (paragraph 4) refers to ______. A．literal visual perception through biological eyes B．a medical device used to treat dyslexia C．the brain’s ability to form and store mental images D．a metaphor for intelligence quotient (IQ) 2．What does the underlined word “interpret” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Learn. B．Understand. C．Explain. D．Translate. 3．Why do MLLMs struggle to read analog clocks accurately, according to the passage? A．Their cognitive process of spatial information is similar to that of dyslexic humans. B．They were primarily trained on digital clocks, leaving analog clock recognition underdeveloped. C．Clock faces require understanding of cultural conventions, which AI lacks compared to humans. D．Their visual recognition systems focus more on object detection like cancer diagnosis than directional interpretation. 4．Why does the author emphasize that he failed a physics task due to left-right confusion yet ultimately earned a PhD? A．To argue that universities should lower some standards for dyslexic students B．To suggest AI could make up for human limitations in scientific research. C．To reflect that physics is uniquely difficult for people with spatial processing differences. D．To highlight that dyslexia’s problems are particular rather than reflective of overall intellectual ability. 5．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Complete Guide to Dyslexia Treatments B．When Machines Mirror Human Learning disabilities C．Are Large Language Models Dyslexic? D．Why Schools Must Adapt to Dyslexic Students 四、首字母填空。 （2026·江苏连云港·一模）根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整正确的单词。 Kouji is a type of Chinese folk art. Performers use their mouths, teeth, tongues, throats, noses and so on to copy different sounds in n 1 and daily life. Kouji has a long history. Years ago, people copied the sounds of birds in o 2 to catch them. They also copied frightening sounds to k 3 dangerous animals off. This is the earliest form of human l 4 and the predecessor (前身) of Kouji , but not the real Kouji. Kouji didn’t become a performance (表演) art u 5 the Song Dynasty. The shows such as Xuexiangtan and Bainiaoming were possibly Kouji performances. Besides, the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters in Song and Yuan operas were b 6 to be played by Kouji performers behind the stage. In the Qing Dynasty, Kouji developed into a new form where performers could tell whole stories by m 7 several different sounds. A famous performer named “Hundred-Bird Zhang” was especially f 8 for his wonderful bird sounds—he copied the calls of over a hundred bird species so perfectly that even real birds would sometimes reply to his mimicry. Since the end of the 20th century, Kouji has been widely used in different kinds of art performances and seen as a s 9 art form. It is often connected with story-telling or shows d 10 performances. In 2011, Kouji was included in the third batch of the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
