Xi’an, China
If visiting a city with friendly locals and long history is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Xi’an. It is home to the Terracotta Army and rich ancient culture. Moreover, the city’s abundance of historical sights, together with its easy-going lifestyle, makes itself one of the most attractive and livable large cities in China. Past travelers have spent, on average, ¥160 on meals and about a quarter of that on local transportation for one day.
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Tourism is developing quickly in Cambodia lately, where you can travel for about ¥120 per day if you play your cards right. Angkor Wat and many ancient temple sites, located in the green countryside, are great destinations to enjoy sunrise and sunset while exploring the area on foot. Its quiet natural paths will give you a good chance to uncover a peaceful paradise of your own.

B
For years, Leo worked as a night guard in a quiet museum. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【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。
【4题详解】
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。
【5题详解】
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。
【6题详解】
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。
【7题详解】
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。
C
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Passionate. B. Curious. C. Uninformed. D. Unsettled.
11. 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】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【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。
【8题详解】
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。
【9题详解】
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。
【10题详解】
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。
【11题详解】
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。

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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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
15. 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
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【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。
【12题详解】
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。
【13题详解】
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。
【14题详解】
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。
【15题详解】
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”。

【16题详解】
上文“At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring. (乍看之下,这似乎像是荷兰画家Johannes Vermeer的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》。)”提到画作看起来像是名作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》,下文“Wearing two glowing earrings, the girl has a slightly inhuman shade of red on her face. (女孩戴着两枚发光的耳环,脸上带着一丝异于常人的泛红。)”描述画中女孩的实际样貌,说明前后有转折,即“看起来像”但“实际上有不同之处”。因此C项“But look more closely and you may find something different about it. (但仔细看你会发现它有所不同。)”符合语境,和上文构成转折,引出下文的描述。
【17题详解】
上文“Look strange? (看起来很奇怪?)”提出疑问,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. (这件AI生成的作品从3482张以维米尔杰作为蓝本提交的作品中遴选而出,于3月在荷兰莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆展出。)”提到AI生成的作品在荷兰一美术馆展出,空处应解答疑问,引出AI生成画作。因此F项“It’s actually an image made by Berlin-based designer Julian Dieken using artificial intelligence.

(然而,AI图像引发了一场激烈的争论。)”符合语境,统领下文内容。
【19题详解】
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. (尽管莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆的新闻发言人Boris de Munnick坚称这是一幅不错的画作,且创作过程富有创意,但许多人仍质疑它是否可称为艺术,以及是否具备在博物馆展厅展出的资格。)”提到美术馆发言人和普通人之间对立的看法,下文“It was regarded as a disrespect for the masterpiece of Vermeer and also for any working artist. (这被视为对Vermeer的杰作以及所有仍在创作的职业艺术家的不敬。)”进一步介绍反对方的观点,空处应点明AI生成的画作的核心问题。因此E项“Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as unoriginal. (荷兰艺术家Iris Compiet称展出的图像缺乏原创性。)”符合语境,承上启下。
【20题详解】
上文“In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity. (事实上,这并不是人们第一次争论AI在创造力中的作用。)”提到AI在创造力中的作用一直有争议,下文“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,这项技术已广泛普及,可供日常使用,利用AI图像生成器创作艺术作品的做法也变得更加普遍。)”含有转折,提到技术普及,用AI生成艺术作品的做法更普遍,空处应说明AI对创造力的负面影响。因此G项“The emergence of such AI works is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm of artists with creative skills. (许多人认为这类AI作品的涌现会削弱有创意技能的艺术家们的热情。)”符合语境,衔接争论背景和技术普及的现状。

第二节 读后续写 (满分20分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“The cleaners said I could pick up our stuff today,” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog?” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favorite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed-the shelf that was now destroyed by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I will surely miss those pictures.”
Jet could tell she was really sad.
“I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together,” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog.
He clutched his backpack through the halls, as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. RRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished.
Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire.
Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
He knew what he could draw.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I have a surprise for you, too,” Jet said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
He knew what he could draw. He would create a precious scene — a memory of his family and Big Dog. Picking up his brush, Jet began to sketch. He drew his five-year-old self tightly hugging Big Dog, with Grandpa smiling proudly beside them at the fair. He even added the familiar background of their old living room and the shelf, where Big Dog used to sit. Jet carefully colored every detail, pouring all his love onto the paper. For the rest of the class, he was completely lost in that beautiful, unburned memory. When the bell finally rang, he couldn’t wait to see his mom and cheer her up.
“I have a surprise for you, too,” Jet said. He handed the drawing to his mom. She took it, and her hands immediately began to tremble. It was a perfect “photo” — the day Grandpa won Big Dog for him. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at the smiling faces of their family and the fluffy stuffed animal. “Oh, Jet,” she whispered, pulling him into a tight embrace. “It’s exactly like the one we lost.” Smiling through her tears, she started the car. Jet knew that while the fire had taken their photos and Big Dog, the memories they held in their hearts could never be burned away.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物Jet为线索展开,讲述Jet家遭遇火灾,他十分担心自己心爱的毛绒玩具大狗Big Dog能否被抢救出来,妈妈也因相册在火灾中损毁而难过。在美术课上,Jet无心做别的事情,想到妈妈失去珍贵照片的悲伤,决定用绘画留存家庭的珍贵回忆。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写Jet构思并动手作画,把和爷爷、Big Dog有关的美好回忆画下来,全身心投入绘画,盼望着放学见到妈妈。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写Jet把画送给妈妈,妈妈看到画深受感动,母子感悟大火可以毁掉物品,但心中的回忆永远不会消失。
2.续写线索:构思作画 —— 描绘回忆 —— 完成画作 —— 送出惊喜 —— 妈妈感动 —— 感悟回忆永存
3.词汇激活
行为类
①绘画:sketch/draw
②凝视:gaze at/stare at

B
For years, Leo worked as a night guard in a quiet museum. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
C
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Passionate. B. Curious. C. Uninformed. D. Unsettled.
11. 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.

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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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
15. 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

“The cleaners said I could pick up our stuff today,” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog?” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favorite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed-the shelf that was now destroyed by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I will surely miss those pictures.”
Jet could tell she was really sad.
“I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together,” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog.
He clutched his backpack through the halls, as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. RRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished.
Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire.
Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
He knew what he could draw.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I have a surprise for you, too,” Jet said.
