A recent competition is to see who is better in art- man or machine-and for now at least, it's good news for humans.

The competition invited both photographers and artificial intelligence (AI) creators to hand in their best works, with a prize of $1000, run by electronics retailer (电子产品零售商) digiDirect. The competition was created after an Al picture won digiDirect's weekly photography competition earlier in February.

A group of expert photographers would then judge the 415 photos, without knowing whether they were created by humans or machines.

Every Al artwork can collect millions or even billions of elements (元素) from paintings, photos, and videos to create something new and breathtaking.

An Al image showed a sunrise, a breaking wave, and two surfers. "The surfers in our Al picture never existed. Neither does that beach or wave of ocean," the Al studio said.

After a few days, the judges finally chose a camera-shot photo. It was a photographer named Keith Costelo - a human - who won the hearts and minds of the judges with his photo of a robot-looking model.

"While technology continues to develop, there is still something truly special about the human eye and the creative choices we make," he said. "I truly believe it could never take the place of the heart, soul and thinking process of humans.”

42. How many photos are there in the photo competition?

A.1000       B.415      C.835      D.796

43. According to the passage, what is Keith Costelo?

A. An Al engineer.        B. A judge.

C. A photographer.       D. A manager.

44. What is the winner's attitude (态度) to Al artwork?

A. He worries about the future of Al artwork.

B. He believes humans can make better works.

C. He hopes Al will take the place of humans.

D. He thinks Al can think better than humans.

45. If readers are interested in this topic, they will go on to read ____________.

A. Laugh our head off at funny wildlife photos

B. Photos to celebrate the spirit of adventure

C. A big win for humans against Al

D. Australia's photo of the year named

Hi, I'm Tom. I have visited many places in Ningbo and Tianvi Pavillion is one of my favorites. Let me share my trip with you.

I went there on June 22. It was sunny and warm. I saw many old and beautiful buildings there. They have a long history so that many people like to take photos of them. I also made DIY fans. It was so interesting and could be the most unforgettable experience tome! What's more, there are also many old books. They are protected well, so I couldn't touch them. I think Tianyige Museum is really quiet and beautiful. I really felt relaxed there.
