At first sight, it seems t be Dutch painter Jhannes Vermeer’s famus wrk Girl With a Pearl Earring. But lk mre clsely and yu may find smething different abut it. Wearing tw shining earrings, there’s a little inhuman (异常的) shade f red n the girl’s face.
Lk strange? It’s actually an image made by German designer Julian van Dieken using artificial intelligence (AI). Chsen frm 3,482 images created based n the Vermeer masterpiece, the AI-generated (生成) wrk was shwn at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands.
“One f the mst famus paintings in histry is being replaced by ne f my AI images,” van Dieken wrte n Instagram. He said that the experience was “crazy” and “unreal”.
Hwever, the AI image caused wide discussin. Thugh Mauritshuis press fficer Bris de Munnick said that “it’s a nice picture and it’s a creative way f making it”, many peple questined whether it culd be called art and be shwn in the museum, reprted AFP.
Dutch artist Iris Cmpiet described the image n display as “almst Frankenstein-ish”, AFP nted. She added that “it’s an insult t the wrks f Vermeer and als t any wrking artist. Cming frm a museum, it’s a real slap (掌掴) in the face.”
In fact, this is nt the first time peple have discussed AI’s rle in creativity. But the technlgy has nw becme widely used in daily life and the practice f using AI image generatrs t make art has becme mre cmmn.
As Taylr Michael explained, ne cmmn cncern is whether AI-generated wrks break laws (版权法). “Sme artists have heavily criticized AI tls fr using ptentially (潜在地) cpyrighted wrks t create datasets, withut artists’ agreement,” she wrte.
Meanwhile, the increase f such AI wrks in the market is believed by many t weaken the enthusiasm (热情) f artists wh have spent years building up their creative skills, AFP nted.
28. What d we knw abut the image made by Julian van Dieken?
A. It is a perfect cpy f Vermeer’s famus wrk.
B. It was made by cmbining 3,482 images tgether.
C. It’s the first AI wrk n display in a museum.
D. It has received different reviews frm audiences.
29. What des the underlined wrd “insult” mst prbably mean?
A. prtectinB. disrespect
C. celebratinD. imprvement
30. Accrding t the passage, what can be the influence brught by the develpment f AI-created wrks?
A. It can make traditinal art frms less attractive.
B. It can increase the value f traditinal artwrks.
C. It can discurage artists wh put in real effrt.
D. It can help artists t develp their creativity.
31. What des the article mainly talk abut?
A. The different pinins abut AI artwrks.
B. The ptential prblems with AI artwrks.
C. The future f AI wrks n the art market.

阅读下短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Phnes and cmputers are all useful tls, and we may feel mre prductive when we use them. Hwever, when we spend hurs n digital devices (电子设备), ur verall prductivity decreases. Why?
Many digital activities need high levels f cncentratin (专注). When we text r email smene, fr example, r even play games, we have t fcus. When we d this, ur brain uses energy. T much energy cnsumptin can result in stress. What is the best cure fr ur ver-stressed minds? David Strayer, a cgnitive psychlgist (认知心理学家) at the University f Utah says the answer is simple: Spend sme time in nature.
Strayer and ther scientists are studying nature’s effect n ur brains and bdies. When we are in natural envirnments, the prefrntal crtex (前额皮质) (the brain’s cntrl center) relaxes. Studies shw that when peple can see trees and grass, they are calmer and d better in schl. Indeed, peple even relax when they lk at phts f nature. As a result, they d better n different cgnitive tasks.
Other psychlgists are als studying “nature therapy ( 疗法 ).” In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 peple went fr a 15-minute walk in seven different frests. The same number f peple walked arund different city centers. Researchers then tk bld frm each persn. The frest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hrmne crtisl (应激激素皮质醇). In additin, they had a 2 percent drp in bld pressure and a 4 percent drp in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yshifumi Miyazaki has an explanatin fr these results. Our bdies relax in pleasant, natural surrundings, he says. Humans evlved (进化) in that envirnment, nt in places with tall buildings and lts f traffic.
Psychlgist Stephen Kaplan and his team members have dne similar research. In ne study, peple tk a 50-minute walk in a public garden. In a test afterwards, their shrt-term memry imprved. When the same peple walked n a city street, it did nt.
Kaplan says it is the visual details in nature like sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. We enjy them withut having t cncentrate n them. This allws ur brains t rest and recver frm the stresses f mdern life. “Imagine a therapy that was readily available, and culd imprve yur cgnitive functining at zer cst,” Kaplan says. “It exists. It’s called ‘interacting with nature’.”
