Secnds later, when the suspect rlled nt his stmach, Gnzales used techniques he’d learned in the gym: digging his knee int the suspect’s el bw and pulling the suspect’s head tward him t maintain cntrl frm the side. He then applied an underhk — a jiu-jitsu mve where the hands are placed under the ppnent’s arm t cntrl the shulder and upper bdy — and tugged until, after a few secnds, the suspect’s shulder gave ut. The fficer clicked n the handcuffs and the threat was ver.

Fashin designers have a big say in what’s cnsidered beautiful. They pick wh’s in their shws and ads, shaping what’s celebrated as beauty. But this pwer als means respnsibility — it can be used t leave peple ut r lift them up.
When I was yung, fashin was my wrld. I pred ver varius fashin magazines at my lcal bkstre, desiring t be tall, thin, and have lng, shiny hair t fit the ideal. I wanted t be like thse mdels, s I stpped eating. It was a tugh time; my eating disrder cnsumed me. It tk years t break free frm its cntrl, allwing me t fcus n my true passins.
Fr s lng, the fashin industry has wrked hard t set an ideal f beauty that celebrates thin, yung, white, and able-bdied mdels as the ideal. It’s impssible nt t be expsed t images f mdels that have been phtshpped t where there’s nt a single spt in sight. This idea is everywhere, and it hurts peple. Shckingly, arund 91% f wmen are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grw up in a sciety where they deny themselves.
There’s prgress — mdels and musicians prmte bdy psitivity. Hwever, the pressure t meet unrealistic standards remains. Changing these standards invlves bravely celebrating diverse beauty. True inclusivity ges beynd appearances. It requires diverse decisin-makers, phtgraphers, and casting directrs cperating. Yung designers ften verlk this crucial aspect. Hiring plus-size r transgender phtgraphers, diverse casting directrs, r makeup artists wh understand the imprtance f accmmdating t varius skin tnes, is vital fr an verall apprach.
We aimed t redefine the “bikini bdy” standards. Hwever, the gal isn’t fr the cnsumer’s bdy t change but fr clthes t accmmdate all sizes. We need mre fashin fr everyne, n matter their size r where they shp. It’s ur respnsibility as designers t challenge this narrw beauty definitin. My hpe is fr future teens t escape the pressures I faced, develping a fashin industry celebrating diverse identities.
28．What des the underlined phrase “pred ver” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A．Classified carefully. B．Cmpared thrughly.
C．Read attentively. D．Recmmended sincerely.
29．What is the impact f the initial beauty ideals set by the fashin industry?
A．Generating individuality.B．Causing self-denial.
C．Fcusing n true passins.D．Cntributing t self-cnfidence.
30．What can be inferred abut true inclusivity?
A．It calls fr diversity and cperatin.
B．It satisfies traditinal standards.
C．It fcuses n physical appearances.
D．It encurages persnal effrt.
31．Which f the fllwing will the authr prbably agree with?
A．Custmers will change their bdy shapes.
B．Future teens will redefine fashin standards.
C．“Bikini bdy” standards shuld be strengthened.
D．Fashin shuld celebrate everyne’s uniqueness.

“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 influence 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 (模仿) 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 slight difference 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 excellent 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 daughter, but yu are n match fr prfessinals.
32．What des the writer think f his image creatin?
A．Unsatisfying. B．Appealing. C．Exciting. D．Shcking.
33．What d children’s illustratrs value mst abut art?
A.External frms. B.The final wrk.
C.Persnal feelings. D.The creating prcess.
34．What is paragraph 4 f the text mainly abut?
A.Different means used in human and A I art creatin.
B.Human artists' influence n A I generatrs.
C.The styles f human artwrks and A I nes.
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．N man can d tw things at nce.
C．Rme is nt built in a day. D．D.Jack f all trades，master f nne.

Make a Nest fr My Dves
I sat at the breakfast table with my fur-year-ld sn, Matthew, trying t ignre the ache in my stmach. “Mama, want t play?” “Nt tday, baby.” I shk my head. These days I culd barely get ut f bed. I was still recvering frm an peratin. I hped fr strength and happiness, but the future seemed s hpeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up frm his spt n the kitchen flr. “Bird!” he shuted, rushing t ur curtyard. Sure enugh, there was a white dve seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there fr a few mments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen ne in ur neighbrhd befre.
When I dragged myself t the kitchen the next mrning, the dve was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Lk Matthew,” I said, pinting t the tree. “They’re ging t make a nest.” The dves flew in and ut f the curtyard all week, building n tp f the rubber tree.
Matthew culd hardly cntain his excitement. Every mrning, he’d run int the kitchen and take his spt by the sliding glass dr (滑动玻璃门), talking t the birds while they wrked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I culdn’t help but lk frward t the dves’ visits t.
Then it all went wrng. The curtyard was a safe enugh spt fr a nest, but the rubber tree’s brad, thin leaves were far frm stable. One night, a strng wind blew, thrwing the dves’ nest t the grund. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nthing gd ever lasted. I wuldn’t blame the dves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid n attentin t the pile f sticks that had nce been their nest. They started again frm the beginning. Again, thugh, the wind destryed all their hard wrk. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nthing had happened.
