Every winter in Brussels, students gather at the Écle Van der Kelen. Funded in 1892 and run by the same family, it is a painting schl unlike any ther.
The rules here are strict. Students must arrive by 9 a.m. and wrk in silence. They cannt bring phnes r cameras, and they must wear white cats. They als need t stand the cld, as the studi is prly heated by an ld stve (火炉).
If students can tlerate these rules fr the six-mnth curse, they will master special skills. The schl is mst famus fr trmpe l’eil, a painting style that means “cheat the eye”. Artists use tricks f light and shadw t create 3D illusins (幻觉) n tw-dimensinal settings. At the schl, students learn t paint cpies f 28 types f wd and 33 types f marble (大理石), r even a perfect sky.
The schl was very ppular in the past, but in the 21st century, it faced huge challenges. As this painting style fell ut f fashin, student numbers drpped sharply. Frtunately, the Scttish painter Lucy McKenzie helped save it. After discvering the schl in a bk in 2007, she signed up. She later used its techniques t create amazing large-scale paintings, which attracted a steady stream f new students frm acrss the wrld. Many f them, like mdern designers and architects, cme here because they are tired f wrking n cmputers all day. These peple cme t have a break and experience a cmpletely new way f living.
Tday, 52-year-ld Sylvie versees the schl with the help f her 82-year-ld mther, Denise. They believe their wrk is vital t preserving these traditinal techniques, many f which are nt taught anywhere else. As fr the future, Sylvie’s 10-year-ld sn, Hilaire, ften plays in the studi. While he is still unsure abut his future, his grandmther is cnfident that he will eventually take ver the family business.
4. What is a strict rule fr the students at the Écle Van der Kelen?

Tday, artificial intelligence (AI) tls shw bth great pwer and clear weakness. On the ne hand, mdern systems such as large language mdels can answer difficult questins abut science r histry in fluent and cnfident language. They ften sund like experts and can prvide quick help in daily study and wrk.
Hwever, these systems are nt always reliable. Smetimes they give wrng infrmatin r even create facts that d nt exist. This prblem is ften called “hallucinatin”. Fr example, when asked fr bk references, AI may prduce titles r authrs that are cmpletely made up. Such mistakes can mislead users wh trust the answers t easily.
Anther prblem is that AI can be guided t give harmful r inapprpriate respnses. In sme cases, users can design special questins t trick the system int saying smething ffensive r dangerus. This happens partly because AI is designed t be helpful. It tries t give an answer t every questin, even when it shuld refuse. As a result, it may prvide advice that is nt safe.
T address the risks psed by AI, develpers have carried ut a series f regulatry mechanisms termed “guardrails”. These mechanisms represent frmal restrictins and prcedural guidelines designed t blck and prhibit the frmulatin f malicius (恶意的) questins as well as the generatin f harmful utputs. Despite these prtective measures, they are nt cmpletely effective. Experienced users can still discver methds t get arund these limitatins by using indirect expressins r fictinal situatins.
One imprtant methd t imprve AI is t train it with human feedback. In this prcess, peple judge whether AI’s answers are crrect and apprpriate. Their pinins help guide the system t prduce better respnses. Anther methd is t study hw AI behaves within the system and try t guide it tward psitive behavir.
Althugh prgress is being made, AI is still nt fully reliable. It is a cmplex tl that must be used carefully. In the future, mre research is needed t make AI bth useful and safe fr everyne.
8. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A. By discussing the risks f AI use.B. By giving an example f AI mistakes.
C. By presenting a cntrast abut AI abilities.D. By explaining hw AI systems are trained.
9. Why can AI give harmful answers?
A. It lacks enugh data.B. It wrks withut rules.
C. It ignres user instructins.D. It tries t respnd t every questin.
10. What des the underlined wrd “guardrails” in paragraph 4 prbably refer t?
A. Tls increasing AI speed.B. Peple mnitring AI systems.
C. Physical devices cntrlling AI.D. Rules limiting harmful AI behavir.
11. What is the best title fr the text?
A. The Strengths and Risks f AIB. The Causes and Results f AI
C. The Histry and Future f AID. The Methds and Steps f AI

I am nt a green-fingered persn. I nce managed t kill a cactus (仙人掌), s I am qualified t sit in a garden but nt t care fr it. David Gerge Haskell, n the ther hand, clearly knws his flwers. His latest bk, Hw Flwers Made Our Wrld, argues that ur cultural cnceptin f flwers is entirely wrng. In many Western scieties, flwers are seen as “weak and merely decrative”.
In fact, says Haskell, “flwers are wrld changers.” When flwering plants develped, they cmpletely transfrmed ecsystems. Rainfrests, hneybees, and even ur wn species depend n flwers fr survival. Haskell devtes mst f his bk t the bilgy f flwers and their imprtance. He begins with the magnlia (木兰花), which ffers an insight f early flwering plants. He mves n t rchids (兰花), which shw hw flwers frm relatinships with ther species, and seagrass, which creates shelters fr wildlife.
In the secnd half f the bk, Haskell fcuses n humanity’s relatinship with flwering plants. He pints ut that all ur majr crps like wheat are flwering plants. Withut them, we culd never feed the glbal ppulatin.
There are times when Haskell verdes it. He gives an accunt f the wrld befre flwers as a bring ne with little clr. Still, he is right t stress the vital imprtance f flwering plants and the need t cnserve their diversity.
My ne real cmplaint with the bk is that there is n verall stry. Haskell has cllected a series f lsely linked essays. Readers shuld nt expect t be pulled thrugh by an absrbing stry. Instead, they are encuraged t enjy his petic language. The bk als cntains vivid illustratins that help explain the flwers. Hwever, what truly sets this bk apart is its deep research and rich ideas — these are where it shines, with much t recmmend it.
12. Which f the fllwing can best describe the authr’s gardening skills?
A. Expert.B. Incmpetent.C. Infrmed.D. Average.
13. What is Haskell’s central argument in his bk?
A. Flwers are delicate and weak.B. Flwers are a direct surce f fd.
C. Flwers are merely decrative.D. Flwers are wrld-changing beings.
14. What des the authr cnsider the bk’s greatest strength?
A. Its deep insight.B. Its absrbing stry.
C. Its petic language.D. Its lifelike illustratins.
15. What is the main purpse f this text?
A. T explain a methd.B. T review a bk.
C. T intrduce a discvery.D. T make an appeal.

My dad was a master planner and an adventurer at heart. Grwing up as the yungest f five bys, I viewed him as unbeatable; there was n barrier t big and n prblem he culdn’t slve. He and Mm lved the utdrs, leading us n full-day drives int the muntains t chase breathtaking views. Dad always believed that the true jy f any trip wasn’t just arriving at the final stp, but the shared laughs and breathtaking sights experienced alng the way.
During the spring break when I was 16, he annunced an exciting new plan: we were taking ur van (面包车) t La Barge Bx Canyn in the Superstitin Muntains. Instead f a traditinal hike, we were ging t drive alng a dry riverbed t explre the canyn (峡谷) flr. We eagerly laded the van with fd and blankets, excited fr the hidden beauty Dad always managed t find.
The mrning dawned bright and sunny. Twering green muntains, reaching heights abve 6,000 feet, filled the van’s windws. Dad turned ff the highway, directing past fallen rcks until he fund a rugh passageway dwn int the canyn. “Here we g!” he shuted, turning sharply nt the dry riverbed. The van bumped (颠簸) and kicked up dust as we turned sharply arund massive rcks. My brthers and I cheered frm the back seat, laughing as we bumped alng the rugh rad. Eventually, the expansive canyn flr pened up arund us, its walls reaching dramatically tward the clear sky. It felt like a hidden wrld meant just fr ur family. We all gt ut and were amazed at the rck frmatins, enjying the peaceful mment and each ther’s cmpany. But just as we laid ut ur picnic, dark cluds blcked ut the sun. A misty rain rapidly transfrmed int a desert dwnpur, frcing us t rush back int the van. Lking ut the windw, the grund sn turned muddy and messy.
