When I first picked up a funtain pen, I hardly imagined anyne bthering with such an utdated instrument. My grandfather’s eyes lit up like a child discvering a hidden treasure. T him, the act f writing wasn’t just abut putting wrds n paper — it was a special practice. Writing was abut carefully shaping thughts and sharing them clearly and with care. As a teenager in the digital age, I fund the leaking ink and the rugh nib (笔尖) mre f a truble than anything else until last summer when I cleaned ut his rf space.
While srting thrugh bxes, I came acrss a wden bx filled with letters — nt just letters my grandfather had received, but drafts f his wn. One letter, written t the lcal mayr abut the clsure f a neighbrhd park, wasn’t just a list f cmplaints. Instead, he had described the scene f elderly men playing chess in the shade, the distant sund f children laughing, and the general peaceful atmsphere f the cmmunity. The writing was bth elegant and firm, urging the mayr t cnsider the value f cmmunity spaces.
It was then that I understd. My grandfather wrte his letters nt merely t cmmunicate infrmatin, but as wrks f mre lve and respect than beautiful handwriting, intended t give the reader the time and attentin they deserved. He wasn’t writing fr quick exchange, as I ften did with my text messages, but fr lasting impact.
I began using that ld funtain pen again. At first, my hand seized up, and I fund it disappinting t write at the pace my thughts raced. But gradually, the slw ink flw made me slw dwn and think deeply and carefully abut my thughts, my emtins, and my wrds.

A．A frce fr reflectin.
B．A recrd f emtin.
C．A surce f inspiratin.
D．A passin fr traditin.

In an age when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly engaged in the creative prcess, a questin is raised fr viewers and institutins: What is cnsidered as art when the human hand is n lnger directly invlved in crafting the wrk Majr museums are nw struggling with this questin and are trying t teach the public t see beynd mere visual excitement.
Fr pineering AI artists, the act f art creatin lies in writing cde and curating (策展) data. They spend mnths r even years building and plishing AI mdels, adding their ideas int every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states, “I dn’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s pint f view.” Anther artist, Refik Anadl, has even planned t build an AI art museum in Ls Angeles. Named Dataland, the museum will have its wn AI mdel fr use by artists — built with supprt frm Ggle and Nvidia and trained n half a billin images, all cllected with the permissin f the wners.
AI art is nt entirely new, as it has rts in cmputer experiments frm the 1960s. It stepped int public view in 2018 when Prtrait f Edmnd de Belamy was sld at Christie’s. Tday, sme museums like the Tate Mdern recgnize it as a “cultural milestne.” Hwever, thers such as the Nasher Museum remain hesitant. Sme curatrs even argue that AI des nt qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired f wrks that rely nly n technlgical nvelty.
At the New Yrk Armry Shw in 1913, American audiences were perturbed abut cubism (立体主义). Tday’s AI-generated wrks aruse similar unease, challenging audiences t decide whether new tls expand r narrw the meaning f art. As MMA’s curatr Pala Antnelli ntes, the initial restlessness with new technlgy eventually gives way t calmness, and audiences will develp their wn critical sense t determine which institutins and wrks truly matter in this develping era.
8. What is pineering AI artists’ fcus f art creatin
A．The artist’s insight.
B．The data cllectin.
C．The visual technlgy.
D．The physical craftsmanship.
9. What cncern d dubtful curatrs raise abut AI art
A．AI art’s technlgy may becme utdated easily.
B．AI-generated wrks’ appeal may disappear sn.
C．AI art’s technlgy hlds n cultural significance.
D．AI-generated wrks dn’t make artists qualified.
10. What des the underlined wrd “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean
A．Passinate. B．Curius. C．Uninfrmed. D．Unsettled.
11. What is the main fcus f the passage
A．Histry f AI technlgy in art creatin.
B．Strategies f using AI in art fr mre audiences.
C．Argument ver the artistic nature f AI wrks.
D．Differences between traditinal art and digital art.

As all gardeners knw, fruits and vegetables that have gne bad culd be a precius resurce. Let them bubble away in a cmpster (堆肥箱) and they becme rich fd fr flwer beds and vegetable gardens. Engineers knw it t. The nutrients prduced by decaying fd can als be used t fuel bireactrs — devices fr prducing new substance.
With bireactrs, almst everything frm medicines t cleaner and greener materials, machine ils, fabrics, and even fds, culd be generated. Capra Bisciences, Inc., a start-up behind a cutting-edge bireactr technlgy, is wrking with prfessinals at the Bstn University Cllege f Engineering, t make a smarter, mre efficient bireactr.
Capra’s bireactr uses bifilm, essentially a layer f thick, glue-like material that prvides an ideal hme fr micrbes (微生物). They’ve already used it t create a petrleum-free skin cream and plan t turn it t prducing bilgical lubricants (润滑剂) fr mtrs and ther machinery. But making the business pssible will require autmatin and nvel quality-cntrl and security measures, which is where the Bstn University team — with backgrunds in genetic engineering, electrnics, and autmatin — cmes in. Despite prgress, maintaining cnsistent utput acrss diverse waste streams remains a key challenge.
T address that, the BU team has already prpsed a series f design slutins that will allw the cmpany t turn an unpredictable cmbinatin f fd, animal waste, and ther waste prducts int a reliable final result, as well as mnitr the whle prcess with tiny sensrs mving abut in a bireactr. They als have a plan fr allwing ther researchers natinwide t adapt their wrk and create identical devices prducing multiple life-changing, and planet-saving prducts in a vast range f fields.
“This kind f teamwrk is amazing. It is the future in terms f where advances in bitechnlgy are cming frm,” says Capra cfunder Andrew Magyar. “We want t engineer rganisms t help us make prducts sustainably and cst-cmpetitively, s cnsumers wn’t have t decide, ‘D I want the sustainable ptin r the cheap ptin ’”
12. Why des the authr mentin the cmpster in the first paragraph
A．T prmte a gardening technique.
B．T intrduce an engineering creatin.
C．T explain hw t recycle fd waste.
D．T describe hw natural nutrients frm.
13. What is the functin f the bifilm
A．T prevent skin burn.
B．T pwer the bireactr.
C．T supprt bacteria grwth.
D．T glue machine parts tgether.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut
A．Applicatins f the device.
B．Trends f fd prcessing.
C．Optins t save the planet.
D．Strategies t handle the issue.
15. What d Andrew Magyar’s wrds imply
A．Bitechnlgy is the future f science.
B．Teamwrk is mre imprtant than new ideas.
C．Custmers priritize price ver sustainability.
D．The team will make green prducts affrdable.
