A high-tech radar system, cmmnly used in the aerspace and defense industries, culd ne day help China prtect its cultural relics frm criminals, especially tmb raiders.
Shaanxi prvince is hme t numerus histrical and cultural relics, including ancient buildings,tmbs, and stne carvings. Prtecting these treasures pses significant challenges due t their wide distributin and the landscapes they lie in.
Thrugh years f research, develpment and testing, researchers in Shaanxi are explring the feasibility (可行性) f using a high-tech radar called the phased array radar (相控阵雷达) t prevent the theft f utdr relics. This radar can mnitr and track mving targets ver wide areas, ffering the prmise f enhanced relic security. Unlike traditinal methds, this radar wrks 24/7, prviding real-time mnitring and precise alerts regarding suspicius activities.
Cmpared t cnventinal mnitring technlgies, the phased array radar is much mre flexible and reliable. It prvides efficient mnitring, regardless f weather cnditins r lighting, thereby reducing the risk f nighttime thefts. “The device can detect vehicles within a range f 10 kilmeters and spt peple within 5 km, s large-scale mnitring can be achieved at a lw cst,” said Han Jianwu, deputy directr f the Shaanxi Institute fr the Preservatin f Cultural Heritage. “Mrever, it can simultaneusly capture and track 128 grups f targets and prvide their distance, speed, categry and trajectry (轨迹). All this reduces the chance f missing suspicius activities in the mnitred area.”
In the past, the absence f reliable security equipment resulted in numerus relic crimes. Over several mnths in 2019, five peple stle numerus priceless ancient relics in Jilin and Hebei, with ne being designated as first-class artifact. It wasn’t until mnths later that their activities were uncvered and they gt caught.
With the radar system, anyne wh breaks int the site will be identified immediately and trigger the alarm. The radar’s cmpact design, alng with its autnmus peratin and need fr very little upkeep, makes it a cst-effective slutin fr relic security. With nging testing and imprvement, this radar system shws real ptential as an early warning tl fr detecting cultural relic crimes.
24．Why are cultural relics in Shaanxi prvince difficult t prtect?
A．Many f them remain undiscvered.
B．Their ecnmic value is ften lw.
C．They are spread acrss challenging landscapes.
D．Criminals use advanced technlgies t steal them.
25．What is the primary purpse f explring the use f the phased array radar in Shaanxi prvince?
A．Analyzing gelgical structures.
B．Observing atmspheric cnditins.
C．Detecting ptential criminal activities.
D．Mnitring the mvements f wildlife.
26．What is the strength f the phased array radar cmpared with traditinal methds?
A．It has an unlimited tracking range.
B．It has higher accuracy and sensibility.
C．It functins better in the daytime.
D．It perates using clean energy surces.
27．Why des the authr mentin the theft in 2019?
A．T shw the seriusness f relic crimes.
B．T highlight the value f certain stlen relics.
C．T prvide cntext fr the radar system’s develpment.
D．T stress the necessity fr imprved security measures.
C
Established earthquake warning systems prvide at best just a minute r tw f ntice, leaving little time fr preparedness. Decades f searching fr a better warning sign-changes in the gechemistry f grundwater, electrmagnetic effects in the upper atmsphere, and even changes in animal behavir-have failed. Many questin whether such a precursr (先兆) even exists. This situatin may change sn, as recent research is prviding a glimmer f hpe fr imprved earthquake predictin.
Researchers Quentin Bletery and Jean-Mathieu Ncquet frm Cte d’Azur University in France cllected data frm ver 90 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 7 that had ccurred in the past tw decades.They fcused n GPS statin recrds near these quakes, which accurately captured land mvement every 5 minutes with millimeter precisin. They analyzed mre than 3,000 time series f mtin in the 48 hurs leading up t the main ruptures (断裂).
They nticed that, in the first 46 hurs, the recrds shwed n significant features. Hwever, during the 2 hurs befre the earthquake, they nticed signs f increasing mvement alng the fault znes (断层带). Essentially, there’s a slip between plates causing the land abve them t mve in a measurable, hrizntal directin.
Culd this be just a cincidence? The prbability f this increase happening just befre the quake and being unrelated is extremely lw, and the researchers cnfirmed this by analyzing 100,000 randm time windws in nn-earthquake GPS data. The pattern ccurred nly 0.03% f the time in nn-earthquake data.
While this precursr signal wn’t be used fr warnings anytime sn, fficials frm the United States Gelgical Survey (USGS) admit that this new study prvides valuable insights int hw t imprve their warning systems-GPS data can grease the wheels f early earthquake warnings.
The researchers admit they're still a number f steps away frm putting this precursr signal int use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires mre GPS statins. But the biggest prblem is that many f the wrld’s earthquake regins have n instrumentatin. “We can’t realize the detectin at the scale f ne earthquake, s we cannt make predictins,” Bletery said.
28．What remains a tugh prblem fr scientists?
A．Determining the magnitude f an earthquake.
B．Finding a way t detect earthquakes in early stages.
C．Measuring atmspheric changes during earthquakes.
D．Identifying animals’ pssible respnses t earthquakes.
29．What did the researchers find thrugh their data analysis?
A．The chance f main ruptures ccurring in fault znes.
B．The accuracy f GPS in recrding land mvement.
C．The existence f a tw-hur precursry phase.
D．The hrizntal slip within the first 46 hurs.
30．What des the underlined part “grease the wheels f” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．DistinguishB．Cntradict C．OvermatchD．Facilitate
31．What hlds back the practical applicatin f the new findings?
A．The inaccessibility f precursr signals.
B．The cmplexity f updating GPS equipment.
C．The challenge f identifying earthquake regins.
D．The incnsistent slip patterns f different earthquakes.

“Wman reading bk, under a night sky, dreamy atmsphere,” I type int Deep Dream Generatr’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned t me shwing what I’ve described.
Welcme t the wrld f AI image generatin, where yu can create what n the surface lks like tp-rank artwrk using just a few text prmpts (提示). But clser examinatin shws ddities. The face f the wman in my image has very dd features, and appears t be hlding multiple bks. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s n creative satisfactin.
AI image generatin culd impact everything frm film t graphic nvels and mre. Children’s illustratrs were quick t raise cncerns abut the technlgy. They say AI-generated art is the exact ppsite f what art is believed t be. Fundamentally, art is all abut translating smething that yu feel internally int smething that exists externally. Whatever frm it takes, true art is abut the creative prcess much mre than it’s abut the final piece. And simply pressing a buttn t generate an image is nt a creative prcess.
Beynd creativity, there are deeper issues. T create images frm prmpts, AI generatrs rely n databases f already existing art and text. This culd lead t the creatin f images that are intentinally meant t imitate the style f ther artists, withut their agreement. There is an argument that AI generatrs wrk n differently t humans when it cmes t being influenced by thers’ wrk. Hwever, a human artist is als adding emtin and nuance (细微差别) int the mix. AI desn’t d the same—it can nly cpy.
The increasing use f AI will als lead t a devaluing f the wrk f artists. There’s already a negative prejudice twards the creative industry. Peple will begin t think that their “wrk” is as valid as that created by smene wh has spent a career making art. It’s nnsense, f curse. Yu can use yur mbile phne t take a nice picture f yur daughters, but yu are n match fr prfessinals.
32．What des the writer think f his image creatin?
A．Exciting.B．AppealingC．Unsatisfying.D．Shcking.
33．What d children’s illustratrs value mst abut art?
A．The creating prcess.B．The final wrk.
C．Persnal feelings.D．External frms.
34．What is Paragraph 4 f the text mainly abut?
A．The styles f human artwrks and AI nes.
B．Human artists’ influence n AI generatrs.
C．Different means used in human and AI art creatin.
D．The drawbacks f drawing frm existing art and text.
35．Which f the fllwing best summarizes the last paragraph?
A．Art is the mirrr f life.
B．Rme is nt built in a day.
C．N man can d tw things at nce.
D．Jack f all trades, master f nne.

Hwever, during the 2 hurs befre the earthquake, they nticed signs f increasing mvement alng the fault znes (断层带). (他们注意到，在最初的46个小时里，记录没有显示出明显的特征。然而，在地震发生前的2小时内，他们注意到沿断裂带移动增加的迹象。)”可知，研究人员通过数据分析发现地震发生前2小时前兆的存在。故选C。
30．词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While this precursr signal wn't be used fr warnings anytime sn, fficials frm the United States Gelgical Survey (USGS) admit that this new study prvides valuable insights int hw t imprve their warning systems- (虽然这种前兆信号短期内不会用于预警，但美国地质调查局(USGS)的官员承认，这项新研究为如何改进他们的预警系统提供了有价值的见解)”故推测下文意思是GPS数据可以推动早期地震预警的进展，所以grease the wheels f意思是推动进展，故选D。
31．细节理解题。 根据最后一段“The researchers admit they're still a number f steps away frm putting this precursr signal int use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires mre GPS statins. But the biggest prblem is that many f the wrld's earthquake regins have n instrumentatin. “We can't realize the detectin at the scale f ne earthquake, s we cannt make predictins,” Bletery said. (研究人员承认，他们距离将这种前兆信号投入使用还有很长的路要走，特别是因为在单个断层处检测细微信号需要更多的GPS站。但最大的问题是，世界上许多地震地区没有仪器。“我们无法在一次地震的规模上实现探测，所以我们无法做出预测，”布莱里说。)”由此可知因为很多地震地区没有仪器，所以我们很难监测前兆信号，也就是前兆信号的不可接近性阻碍了新发现的实际应用，故选A。
32．C 33．A 34．C 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了儿童插画家的观点：人工智能创造的艺术不是真正的艺术。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But clser examinatin shws ddities, The face f the wman in my image has very dd features, and appears t be hlding multiple bks. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s n creative satisfactin. (但仔细观察会发现一些奇怪的地方，我脑海中那个女人的脸有非常奇怪的特征，似乎拿着多本书。而且，虽然看到图像出现时最初会感到兴奋，但没有创造性的满足感。)”可知，作者对他的图像创作不满意，故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fundamentally, art is all abut translating smething that yu feel internally int smething that exists externally. Whatever frm it takes, true art is abut the creative prcess much mre than it’s abut the finAIpiece. And simply pressing a buttn t generate an image is nt a creative prcess. (从根本上说，艺术就是将你内在感受到的东西转化为外在存在的东西。无论采取何种形式，真正的艺术都关乎创作过程，而不是最终作品。简单地按下按钮来生成图像并不是一个创造性的过程。)”可知，儿童插画家最看重艺术创作过程，因为艺术的核心是将内在感受转化为外在存在，真正的艺术更多地关注创作过程而不是最终作品，故选A项。
34．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Beynd creativity, there are deeper issues. T create images frm prmpts, AI generatrs rely n databases f already existing art and text. This culd lead t the creatin f images that are intentinally meant t imitate the style f ther artists, withut their agreement. There is an argument that AI generatrs wrk n differently t humans when it cmes t being influenced by thers’ wrk, Hwever, a human artist is als adding emtin and nuance (细微差别) int the mix. AI desn’t d the same—it can nly cpy. (除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题。为了从提示创建图像，AI生成器依赖于现有艺术和文本的数据库。这可能导致在未经其他艺术家同意的情况下故意模仿其他艺术家风格的图像。有一种观点认为，在受到他人作品的影响时，人工智能发电机的工作方式与人类没有什么不同，但是，人类艺术家也在混合中添加了情感和细微差别。人工智能不会做同样的事情——它只能复制。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了人类和人工智能艺术创作中使用的不同手段，故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The increasing use f AI will als lead t a devaluing f the wrk f artists. There’s already a negative prejudice twards the creative industry. Peple will begin t think that their “wrk” is as valid as that created by smene wh has spent a career making art. It’s nnsense, f curse. Yu can use yur mbile phne t take a nice picture f yur daughters, but yu are n match fr prfessinals. (人工智能的使用越来越多也会导致艺术家作品贬值。对创意产业已经存在负面偏见。人们会开始认为他们的“作品”与那些以艺术创作为职业的人所创作的作品一样有效。当然，这是无稽之谈。你可以用手机给你的女儿拍一张漂亮的照片，但你不是专业人士的对手。)”可知人工智能的使用会使艺术家的作品贬值。人们会认为他们用 AI 创作的作品和以艺术创作为职业的人的作品有同样的价值。作者认为这是错误的，在最后一句中，作者认为尽管普通人可以创作出漂亮的作品，也比不上专业人士。作者暗示艺术创作需要经过长期的训练。A. Art is the mirrr f life. (艺术是生活的镜子) B. Rme is nt built in a day. (罗马不是一日建成的。意指任何伟大的事物都需要时间和耐心来建立。) C. N man can d tw things at nce. (一心不可二用。) D. Jack f all trades, master f nne. (百事皆通，一样不精。)，故选B项。
36．B 37．C 38．A 39．E 40．F

Our brains are nt designed t remember peple’s names, t remember t d smething later r t catalgue everything we experience. （尽管记忆在我们的生活中是非凡的、必要的、常见的存在，但它远非完美。我们的大脑并不是用来记住别人的名字的，也不是用来记住以后要做的事情或者把我们经历的每件事都记录下来）”更进一步说明了B项“what it’s suppsed t d”的含义。故选B。

Accrdingly, ne majr reasn fr frgetting what smene said r where yu parked yur car is lack f attentin.（你的记忆不是一台摄像机，不是不间断地记录下你所接触到的每一种景象和声音。你只能记住你所关心的。因此，忘记别人说了什么或把车停在哪里的一个主要原因就是缺乏注意力）”分析了遗忘的原因是：缺乏注意力，A项“One necessary factr is attentin.（一个必要的因素是注意力）”回答了上文的问题，也是下文的概括，承上启下，符合上下文连贯。故选A。
39．上文“the tip f the tngue is ne f the mst cmmn experiences f memry failure.（“一时想不起来”是记忆失灵最常见的经历之一）”提到“一时想不起来”这一现象，E项“Yu’re trying t cme up with a wrd, but yu cannt find it in yur memry.（你试图想出一个单词，但你在记忆中找不到它）”对这一现象进行进一步说明，同时引出下文问题“Why des this happen?（为什么会发生这种情况？）”，符合上下文连贯。故选E。
40．上文“G back t the rm yu were in befre yu landed in this ne and imagine the clues that were there.（回到你来在这个房间之前的那个房间，想想那里有什么线索）”提出找回之前记忆的方法，F项“It will instantly deliver what yu were cmpletely cnfused abut a mment ag.（它将立即让你想起刚才完全迷糊的事情）”说明了这样做的效果，符合上下文连贯。故选F。

Thrugh years f research, develpment and testing, researchers in Shaanxi are explring the feasibility (可行性) f using a high-tech radar called the phased array radar (相控阵雷达) t prevent the theft f utdr relics. This radar can mnitr and track mving targets ver wide areas, ffering the prmise f enhanced relic security. Unlike traditinal methds, this radar wrks 24/7, prviding real-time mnitring and precise alerts regarding suspicius activities.
Cmpared t cnventinal mnitring technlgies, the phased array radar is much mre flexible and reliable. It prvides efficient mnitring, regardless f weather cnditins r lighting, thereby reducing the risk f nighttime thefts. “The device can detect vehicles within a range f 10 kilmeters and spt peple within 5 km, s large-scale mnitring can be achieved at a lw cst,” said Han Jianwu, deputy directr f the Shaanxi Institute fr the Preservatin f Cultural Heritage. “Mrever, it can simultaneusly capture and track 128 grups f targets and prvide their distance, speed, categry and trajectry (轨迹). All this reduces the chance f missing suspicius activities in the mnitred area.”
In the past, the absence f reliable security equipment resulted in numerus relic crimes. Over several mnths in 2019, five peple stle numerus priceless ancient relics in Jilin and Hebei, with ne being designated as first-class artifact. It wasn’t until mnths later that their activities were uncvered and they gt caught.
With the radar system, anyne wh breaks int the site will be identified immediately and trigger the alarm. The radar’s cmpact design, alng with its autnmus peratin and need fr very little upkeep, makes it a cst-effective slutin fr relic security. With nging testing and imprvement, this radar system shws real ptential as an early warning tl fr detecting cultural relic crimes.

Established earthquake warning systems prvide at best just a minute r tw f ntice, leaving little time fr preparedness. Decades f searching fr a better warning sign-changes in the gechemistry f grundwater, electrmagnetic effects in the upper atmsphere, and even changes in animal behavir-have failed. Many questin whether such a precursr (先兆) even exists. This situatin may change sn, as recent research is prviding a glimmer f hpe fr imprved earthquake predictin.
Researchers Quentin Bletery and Jean-Mathieu Ncquet frm Cte d’Azur University in France cllected data frm ver 90 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 7 that had ccurred in the past tw decades.They fcused n GPS statin recrds near these quakes, which accurately captured land mvement every 5 minutes with millimeter precisin. They analyzed mre than 3,000 time series f mtin in the 48 hurs leading up t the main ruptures (断裂).
They nticed that, in the first 46 hurs, the recrds shwed n significant features. Hwever, during the 2 hurs befre the earthquake, they nticed signs f increasing mvement alng the fault znes (断层带). Essentially, there’s a slip between plates causing the land abve them t mve in a measurable, hrizntal directin.
Culd this be just a cincidence? The prbability f this increase happening just befre the quake and being unrelated is extremely lw, and the researchers cnfirmed this by analyzing 100,000 randm time windws in nn-earthquake GPS data. The pattern ccurred nly 0.03% f the time in nn-earthquake data.
While this precursr signal wn’t be used fr warnings anytime sn, fficials frm the United States Gelgical Survey (USGS) admit that this new study prvides valuable insights int hw t imprve their warning systems-GPS data can grease the wheels f early earthquake warnings.
The researchers admit they're still a number f steps away frm putting this precursr signal int use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires mre GPS statins. But the biggest prblem is that many f the wrld’s earthquake regins have n instrumentatin. “We can’t realize the detectin at the scale f ne earthquake, s we cannt make predictins,” Bletery said.
28．What remains a tugh prblem fr scientists?
A．Determining the magnitude f an earthquake.
B．Finding a way t detect earthquakes in early stages.
C．Measuring atmspheric changes during earthquakes.
D．Identifying animals’ pssible respnses t earthquakes.
29．What did the researchers find thrugh their data analysis?
A．The chance f main ruptures ccurring in fault znes.
B．The accuracy f GPS in recrding land mvement.
C．The existence f a tw-hur precursry phase.
D．The hrizntal slip within the first 46 hurs.
30．What des the underlined part “grease the wheels f” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．DistinguishB．Cntradict C．OvermatchD．Facilitate
31．What hlds back the practical applicatin f the new findings?
A．The inaccessibility f precursr signals.
B．The cmplexity f updating GPS equipment.

“Wman reading bk, under a night sky, dreamy atmsphere,” I type int Deep Dream Generatr’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned t me shwing what I’ve described.
Welcme t the wrld f AI image generatin, where yu can create what n the surface lks like tp-rank artwrk using just a few text prmpts (提示). But clser examinatin shws ddities. The face f the wman in my image has very dd features, and appears t be hlding multiple bks. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s n creative satisfactin.
AI image generatin culd impact everything frm film t graphic nvels and mre. Children’s illustratrs were quick t raise cncerns abut the technlgy. They say AI-generated art is the exact ppsite f what art is believed t be. Fundamentally, art is all abut translating smething that yu feel internally int smething that exists externally. Whatever frm it takes, true art is abut the creative prcess much mre than it’s abut the final piece. And simply pressing a buttn t generate an image is nt a creative prcess.
Beynd creativity, there are deeper issues. T create images frm prmpts, AI generatrs rely n databases f already existing art and text. This culd lead t the creatin f images that are intentinally meant t imitate the style f ther artists, withut their agreement. There is an argument that AI generatrs wrk n differently t humans when it cmes t being influenced by thers’ wrk. Hwever, a human artist is als adding emtin and nuance (细微差别) int the mix. AI desn’t d the same—it can nly cpy.
The increasing use f AI will als lead t a devaluing f the wrk f artists. There’s already a negative prejudice twards the creative industry. Peple will begin t think that their “wrk” is as valid as that created by smene wh has spent a career making art. It’s nnsense, f curse.

2．细节理解题。根据What can yu expect during a Victria Tunnel tur?下的“Learn hw tugh life was during Wrld War II; listen fr the air-raid warning and the sund f planes passing verhead drpping their bmbs, and hear the memries f peple wh lived thrugh the dreadful perid in Newcastle’s histry.(了解第二次世界大战期间的艰苦生活；听着空袭警报，听着头顶飞过的飞机投下炸弹的声音，听着经历了纽卡斯尔历史上那段可怕时期的人们的回忆)”可知，参加者在参观维多利亚隧道时可了解当地人在二战期间的艰辛。故选D项。
3．细节理解题。根据Private grup visits t the Victria Tunnel下的“2-hur turs-g further int the Victria Tunnel and hear mre stries with mre time t ask questins|£12 adult|£5 child (age 7-15)(2小时行程——深入维多利亚隧道，聆听更多故事，有更多时间提问|成人12英镑|儿童5英镑(7-15岁))”可知，一对带着一个8岁孩子的夫妇参观两个小时，需要支付：12x2+5=29英镑。故选D项。
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是陕西的研究人员正在探索使用一种名为相控阵雷达的高科技雷达来防止户外文物被盗的可行性。
24-27 CCBD
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Prtecting these treasures pses significant challenges due t their wide distributin and the landscapes they lie in.(由于这些宝藏分布广泛，且所处的环境十分优美，因此保护它们面临着巨大的挑战)”可知，陕西文物难保护的原因是它们分布在具有挑战性的景观中。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“This radar can mnitr and track mving targets ver wide areas, ffering the prmise f enhanced relic security. Unlike traditinal methds, this radar wrks 24/7, prviding real-time mnitring and precise alerts regarding suspicius activities.(这种雷达可以监视和跟踪大范围内的移动目标，提供了增强文物安全性的承诺。与传统方法不同的是，这种雷达全天候工作，提供实时监控和针对可疑活动的精确警报)”可知，探索相控阵雷达在陕西省使用的主要目的是侦查潜在的犯罪活动。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段“Cmpared t cnventinal mnitring technlgies, the phased array radar is much mre flexible and reliable. It prvides efficient mnitring, regardless f weather cnditins r lighting, thereby reducing the risk f nighttime thefts.(与传统的监测技术相比，相控阵雷达具有更大的灵活性和可靠性。它提供了有效的监控，不管天气条件或照明条件，从而减少夜间盗窃的风险)”，“The device can detect vehicles within a range f 10 kilmeters and spt peple within 5 km, s large-scale mnitring can be achieved at a lw cst(该装置可以探测10公里范围内的车辆，并在5公里范围内对人进行定位，因此可以以低成本实现大规模监测)”和“Mrever, it can simultaneusly capture and track 128 grups f targets and prvide their distance, speed, categry and trajectry (轨迹).(此外，它可以同时捕获和跟踪128组目标，并提供它们的距离、速度、类别和轨迹)”可知，相控阵雷达与传统方法相比，它的长处是具有较高的准确性和灵敏度。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In the past, the absence f reliable security equipment resulted in numerus relic crimes.(在过去，由于缺乏可靠的安全设备，导致了许多文物犯罪)”和最后一段“With the radar system, anyne wh breaks int the site will be identified immediately and trigger the alarm.(有了雷达系统，任何闯入现场的人都会立即被识别并触发警报)”可知，作者提到了2019年的盗窃案是为了强调加强安全措施的必要性。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于一种地震前兆信号的新研究，给地震预测带来了希望。并主要介绍了这项研究的过程，价值以及阻碍。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Decades f searching fr a better warning sign-changes in the gechemistry f grundwater, electrmagnetic effects in the upper atmsphere, and even changes in animal behavir-have failed. Many questin whether such a precursr (先兆) even exists. (几十年来，人们一直在寻找更好的预警信号——地下水地球化学的变化、高层大气的电磁效应，甚至动物行为的变化——但都以失败告终。许多人甚至质疑这样的前兆是否存在。)”可知，科学家们仍然面临的难题是找到早期阶段监测地震的方法，故选B。
29．细节理解题。 根据第三段“They nticed that, in the first 46 hurs, the recrds shwed n significant features. Hwever, during the 2 hurs befre the earthquake, they nticed signs f increasing mvement alng the fault znes (断层带). (他们注意到，在最初的46个小时里，记录没有显示出明显的特征。然而，在地震发生前的2小时内，他们注意到沿断裂带移动增加的迹象。)”可知，研究人员通过数据分析发现地震发生前2小时前兆的存在。故选C。
30．词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While this precursr signal wn't be used fr warnings anytime sn, fficials frm the United States Gelgical Survey (USGS) admit that this new study prvides valuable insights int hw t imprve their warning systems- (虽然这种前兆信号短期内不会用于预警，但美国地质调查局(USGS)的官员承认，这项新研究为如何改进他们的预警系统提供了有价值的见解)”故推测下文意思是GPS数据可以推动早期地震预警的进展，所以grease the wheels f意思是推动进展，故选D。
31．细节理解题。 根据最后一段“The researchers admit they're still a number f steps away frm putting this precursr signal int use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires mre GPS statins. But the biggest prblem is that many f the wrld's earthquake regins have n instrumentatin. “We can't realize the detectin at the scale f ne earthquake, s we cannt make predictins,” Bletery said. (研究人员承认，他们距离将这种前兆信号投入使用还有很长的路要走，特别是因为在单个断层处检测细微信号需要更多的GPS站。但最大的问题是，世界上许多地震地区没有仪器。“我们无法在一次地震的规模上实现探测，所以我们无法做出预测，”布莱里说。)”由此可知因为很多地震地区没有仪器，所以我们很难监测前兆信号，也就是前兆信号的不可接近性阻碍了新发现的实际应用，故选A。
32．C 33．A 34．C 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了儿童插画家的观点：人工智能创造的艺术不是真正的艺术。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But clser examinatin shws ddities, The face f the wman in my image has very dd features, and appears t be hlding multiple bks. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s n creative satisfactin. (但仔细观察会发现一些奇怪的地方，我脑海中那个女人的脸有非常奇怪的特征，似乎拿着多本书。而且，虽然看到图像出现时最初会感到兴奋，但没有创造性的满足感。)”可知，作者对他的图像创作不满意，故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fundamentally, art is all abut translating smething that yu feel internally int smething that exists externally. Whatever frm it takes, true art is abut the creative prcess much mre than it’s abut the finAIpiece. And simply pressing a buttn t generate an image is nt a creative prcess. (从根本上说，艺术就是将你内在感受到的东西转化为外在存在的东西。无论采取何种形式，真正的艺术都关乎创作过程，而不是最终作品。简单地按下按钮来生成图像并不是一个创造性的过程。)”可知，儿童插画家最看重艺术创作过程，因为艺术的核心是将内在感受转化为外在存在，真正的艺术更多地关注创作过程而不是最终作品，故选A项。
34．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Beynd creativity, there are deeper issues. T create images frm prmpts, AI generatrs rely n databases f already existing art and text. This culd lead t the creatin f images that are intentinally meant t imitate the style f ther artists, withut their agreement. There is an argument that AI generatrs wrk n differently t humans when it cmes t being influenced by thers’ wrk, Hwever, a human artist is als adding emtin and nuance (细微差别) int the mix. AI desn’t d the same—it can nly cpy. (除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题。为了从提示创建图像，AI生成器依赖于现有艺术和文本的数据库。这可能导致在未经其他艺术家同意的情况下故意模仿其他艺术家风格的图像。有一种观点认为，在受到他人作品的影响时，人工智能发电机的工作方式与人类没有什么不同，但是，人类艺术家也在混合中添加了情感和细微差别。人工智能不会做同样的事情——它只能复制。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了人类和人工智能艺术创作中使用的不同手段，故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The increasing use f AI will als lead t a devaluing f the wrk f artists. There’s already a negative prejudice twards the creative industry. Peple will begin t think that their “wrk” is as valid as that created by smene wh has spent a career making art. It’s nnsense, f curse. Yu can use yur mbile phne t take a nice picture f yur daughters, but yu are n match fr prfessinals. (人工智能的使用越来越多也会导致艺术家作品贬值。对创意产业已经存在负面偏见。人们会开始认为他们的“作品”与那些以艺术创作为职业的人所创作的作品一样有效。当然，这是无稽之谈。你可以用手机给你的女儿拍一张漂亮的照片，但你不是专业人士的对手。)”可知人工智能的使用会使艺术家的作品贬值。人们会认为他们用 AI 创作的作品和以艺术创作为职业的人的作品有同样的价值。作者认为这是错误的，在最后一句中，作者认为尽管普通人可以创作出漂亮的作品，也比不上专业人士。作者暗示艺术创作需要经过长期的训练。A. Art is the mirrr f life. (艺术是生活的镜子) B. Rme is nt built in a day. (罗马不是一日建成的。意指任何伟大的事物都需要时间和耐心来建立。) C. N man can d tw things at nce. (一心不可二用。) D. Jack f all trades, master f nne. (百事皆通，一样不精。)，故选B项。
