Before the 20th century, Mona Lisa was little known outside art circles. But in 1911, an ex-Louvre employee stole the painting and hid it for two years. That helped strengthen the painting’s place in popular culture ever since.Las MeninasArtist: Diego VelázquezDate: 1656Where to see it: Museo del Prado（Madrid, Spain）The complexity of the work has attracted art critics and the public for centuries. The painting serves as a group portrait（画像）of Spanish royalty, but it is also a self-portrait of Velázquez himself at work. Las Meninas was appointed by King Philip IV of Spain, who ruled from 1621 to 1665.Girl with a Pearl EarringArtist: Johannes VermeerEstimated date: 1665Where to see it: Mauritshuis（The Hague, Netherlands）The girl wearing a blue and gold turban（头巾）and an oversized pearl（珍珠）earring is the entire focus with only a dark backdrop behind her. It has gone on tour in the United States, Italy and Japan. It drew huge crowds, further supporting its status as one of the world’s most famous works of art.The Starry NightArtist: Vincent van GoghDate: 1889Where to see it: Museum of Modern Art（New York City）The painting’s striking blues and yellows and the dreamy atmosphere have attracted art lovers for decades. Van Gogh was being treated for mental illness in a hospital in Saint-Remy, France, when he painted The Starry Night. He was inspired by the view from the window of his room.11. Which painting is the artist’s self-description? A. Mona Lisa.                B. Las Meninas.  C. Girl with a Pearl Earring.    D. The Starry Night.   12. Where can you see Johannes Vermeer’s work?  A. Louvre Museum.            B. Museo del Prado. C. Mauritshuis.                D. Museum of Modern Art.13. What was The Starry Night based on? A. Sights from the sickroom.     B. A woman’ act of stealing. C. The life of a royal family.     D. The experience of being ill.BAs AI art generators（生成器）take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?AI art involves a program mimicking（模仿）the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright（版权）violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize? 14. What does the underlined word“flaws”in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Benefits.          B. Advances.         C. Weaknesses.         D. Standards.15. How is AI art different from human art?  A. It is the product of experience.           B. It costs less money to produce.C. It combines different styles of work.      D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.16. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph? A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.17. What can we infer from paragraph 4?  A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.CTextile（纺织品）waste is a growing problem for our environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported the US throws away more than 11 million tons of clothing every year. That is why some small businesses spotting the problem are beginning to recycle in ways they haven’t before.Create Good Company is a clothing company that tries to produce sustainable clothing and repurpose older clothing into updated fashionable items. Maggie Hendricks, the owner of Create Good Company, said, “If you can improve what you find, why wouldn’t you do that instead of buying new things? It’s a big issue not to create new waste. I would say we are 90% recycled materials.”According to the EPA, the average consumer（消费者）throws away 81.5 pounds of clothes every year. “Anywhere between 10%-17% of the waste that’s going into landfills（废弃物填埋场）is made up of things like textiles and clothing,” said Danny Katz with the CoPIRG Foundation. “A lot of the clothing that we’re producing doesn’t even get worn, so it’s going right to the landfill or even being burned and contributing to pollution that way. It’s really worrying.”This is why businesses like Create Good Company exist — to use outdated clothing and turn it into dresses or jackets. “There’s just so much waste and so many big companies that might not think about it,” Hendricks said. “Just standing with other like-minded people who are interested in sustainability is important.” Another important element Hendricks has focused on is creating these items and selling them at an affordable price. “Sustainability sometimes is green washed in companies and they make things more expensive,” Hendricks said. “That’s not how we become a sustainable world. I think making products affordable is important to me. I want to buy things that are better for the environment without throwing my pocketbook in the fire.”18. What makes Danny Katz worried?   A. The use of old clothing.           B. The cost of textile pollution.   C. The effect of clothing waste.       D. The future of the textile industry.19. What does Hendricks care more about when it comes to a sustainable product?   A. Its price.                       B. Its sales.   C. Its producer.                   D. Its quality.20. What is the best title for the text?   A. The EPA’s measures to reduce textile waste.   B. Consumers being aware of the seriousness of textile waste.   C. Textile businesses’ social responsibility and their waste.   D. Small businesses working to prevent textile waste.第二节  （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Nearly half of us make New Year’s resolutions, but less than ten percent of us actually keep them.

You may have imagined yourself dressed up, standing on a stage. With the spotlight shining on you, you prepare to give an amazing performance in front of a large audience. At the sound of their applause (掌声), you feel like a superstar. I’ve had similar thoughts. However, my point of view completely changed after an English drama show.
    Since I was a little girl, I dreamt of becoming a star and performing on stage. When I found out that our school would hold an English drama show at the end of April, I couldn’t have been more delighted. I firmly believed that it was my time to achieve my dream. 
    But things seemed to go off track. After considering my skills and abilities, I was required to be a scriptwriter (编剧) instead of a performer. Hearing the news, I was so upset that it felt like my heart sank to the bottom of a dark lake filled with ice. But I eventually calmed down and accepted the position. 
    Over the following month, my partners and I brainstormed (头脑风暴) every day and discussed the plot. Though it was a difficult task, we never gave up. We surfed the Internet and got inspiration from others’ scripts. Sometimes, we also asked for help from teachers who knew about the topic. With great effort, we finally completed our script.  注意： 续写词数应为100字左右。请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When the big day finally came, I was full of mixed emotions.           What I learned was that you don’t have to be on the stage to be a star.

I feel really sad to learn the news from the Internet that a terrible flood struck your city and caused great damage.It is reported that a large number of houses now lie in ruins. I am really concerned for everything with you and your family. Please let me know about your condition as soon as possible. And if you need any help, please don’t hesitate to turn to me. Don’t worry and I firmly believe that everything will be fine.I’m looking forward to your early reply.Yours sincerely,Li Hua   When the big day finally came, I was full of mixed emotions. On one hand, as I saw the performers dressed in costumes performing on the stage, I couldn’t help but feel a bit down as I wasn’t given the opportunity to do the same. But on the other hand, when the performance finished and the audience clapped and cheered, I felt a great sense of pride. I knew that our script was a success and that our hard work had paid off. 
   What I learned was that you don’t have to be on the stage to be a star. As it is said in Records of the Three Kingdoms, “a glimmer of light can make solar and lunar brighter.” It means that even the smallest elements can make a difference through determination, hard work or unity. As long as you try your best and contribute to the overall goal, you can shine every day.
