Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear that you’re not even sure it’s a face? Or a picture by unknown artist? What if the artist was a computer? A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer programme has been sold at the price ＄432,500 – about ten times more than people expected. This painting, named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence (AI)（人工智能）. This means the computer now doesn't just follow us, but makes some decisions and "thinks itself". 15,000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computer programme with two parts. One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn't look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work. This is not the first AI artwork, just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. "The work isn't interesting or creative," says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn't like the idea of selling it. He thinks it's too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He adds that he created many pictures like it much earlier. In some other people's opinion, however, AI art is already very unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future. Still, people who look down upon AI art shouldn't worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not the artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet. It will grow up. 1.Edmond de Belamy was mainly created by _________________. A.a computer programme B.some French students C.several unknown artists D.a man called Edmond 2.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A.What the computer programme can do. B.Whom the computer programme was trained by. C.How French students train the computer programme. D.Why the painting Edmond de Belamy was created. 3.The writer mentions Robbie Barrat in Paragraph 4 to show ______________. A.many people are impressed with the painting B.lots of people took part in creating the painting C.some people didn't expect the painting to be sold D.most people hope Al art will be common in the future 4.What does the writer probably think of AI? A.it creates better art than humans. B.It has not been well-developed yet. C.It will never be popular with art-lovers. D.It will always be a tool used by human artists. 5.The best title for the passage can be __________________. A.AI technology and AI art B.The present and future of AI art C.The first painting created of AI in the world D.The first computer-created artwork on sale

If you grow up in America, you must know this little foodie（美食家）rhyme. "You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!" For most Americans, the phrase "ice cream" brings out memories or summer. Ice cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat "a frozen milk-like dessert ", which was made with milk heated with flour. Later, camphor (樟脑）was added to improve the taste. In Medieval Titles Arabs enjoyed an icy drink called sherbet (冰冻果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after. The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet（雪酪）was created. Antonio Latini (1632-1692)is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first "Official" ice cream. It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat. Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditional American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend? Vanilla（香草）ice cream, of course! This creamy iced treat has strongly planted itself in the hearts of foodies across America. 1.Why does the writer mention the rhyme at the beginning of the passage? A.To explain why ice cream is popular. B.To support his view. C.To introduce the topic. D.To advertise ice cream. 2.What does the underlined word "dessert" mean in Chinese? A.沙漠 B.甜点 C.果冻 D.糖果 3.In which order did ice cream develop? a. milk-based sorbet b. frozen milk-like dessert c. Vanilla ice cream d. cold drinks with fruits A.b→d→a→c B.d→a→c→b C.c→a→d→b D.b→a→d→c 4.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A.Camphor brought a better taste to the milk-like dessert B.Sherbet was often mixed with fruits. C.Sugar was added to frozen dessert in the 17th century. D.In America, apple pies are usually served with strawberry ice cream. 5.According to Paragraph 4, we can infer（推断）that ___________________. A.it must be European settlers who introduced ice cream to America B.ice cream was so expensive that only American presidents could afford it C.when he was thirsty, George Washington usually bought ice cream D.the writer is an American

任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词, 每个空格只填1个单词。 Sure, it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it's good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life. In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests. Here is a question: what if you don't get along well with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you. However, if a certain teacher isn't your favourite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her. Here are some of those responsibilities: Attend class and be ready to learn. Be prepared for class with the right pencils and books. Listen when your teacher is talking. Do your best whether it's homework or a test.
