What’s the truth of joy I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However,ever since I started my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another time！Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home ownership, huh That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said, “Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff！”
And in that moment, a minimalist family was born.
4. Which of the following best describes the to-be-cleaned garage
A. Spacious and well-lit. B. Neatly labeled and sorted.
C. Disordered and jam-packed. D. Narrow and weather-beaten.
5. What can we infer about the author’s recent experience with stuff cleaning
A. He went through unaccountable frustration. B. He figured out his disinterest in cleaning.
C. He initiated it and enjoyed the process. D. He lost patience and rushed to the end.
6. What did June imply by saying “The joy of home ownership, huh”
A. The pleasure of possessing a home. B. The significance of owning a family.
C. The convenience of having a garage. D. The demands of maintaining a house.
7. Why did the author start a minimalist family
A. He favored living with a handful of people. B. He wanted to quit being a slave of stuff.
C. He considered cleaning a waste of time. D. He figured out the joy of ownership.
C
In 1835, William Talbot finally succeeded in producing a photograph of his country house. He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The drawing was formed “by the action of light upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical (光学的) and chemical means alone.
By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera. Advocates for the technology stated that not only was it more precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper.
The removal of human fallibility in the creating process was one of photography’s biggest selling points, but this also started debates about the new medium’s implications for visual culture. Could images made largely by a machine be considered art If so, where did human creativity fit in this process
As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated (自动化的), more and more people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world. Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph. By typing a sentence, users can generate “new” images composed from images collected across the internet. The result has been a flood of AI-generated images in places that are previously unique to human authors. Painting competitions, commercial graphic design and the fashion of portraiture (肖像) have all since collided with the technology in troubling ways.
The fine arts were thought to be a final hold-out of human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality of AI-generated images is producing deeper questions about the nature of originality. If the history of photography tells us anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural gatekeeping.
8. Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture
A. To downplay human factors in the creation. B. To investigate a supernatural phenomenon.
C. To show his advanced knowledge in science. D. To demonstrate the beauty of his country house.
9. What does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The photo of Talbot’s house. B. The image by a draftsman.
C. The technology of a camera. D. The paper sensitive to light.
10. What do OpenAI and cameras have in common
A. They improve the taste of beauty. B. They advocate fashion designs.
C. They challenge human agency. D. They produce original images.
11. What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography
A. Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did.
B. AI-generated images will go through a similar debate.
C. The nature of originality will be held in human hands.
D. The fine arts will include photography and AI images.
D
In order to meet growing food production and energy needs in low-and middle-income countries, solar-powered groundwater irrigation (灌溉) is rapidly gaining ground. More than 500,000 solar pumps (泵) have been set up in south Asia over the last few years and a major expansion is planned across sub-Saharan Africa.
Dustin Garrick, professor in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, along with an international team, examined the trend toward solar pumps as a clear opportunity for boosting agricultural yields and reducing poverty, but the opportunity comes with risks.
While replacing electric or gas pumps with solar-powered irrigation holds the promise of reducing carbon emissions (排放), it is not guaranteed. Farmers who have access to these pumps may expand production of crops or diversify into other activities, which are not emissions neutral. Solar pumps will increase groundwater pumping efficiency, which may be desirable in regions that support such increases, but this could worsen groundwater lessening in regions that are already stressed. The cheap clean energy of solar pumps may lead to increased groundwater development, without necessarily decreasing overall emissions.
Despite these challenges, the clean-energy boost can serve as a stimulus for positive change in water and energy management but will require enhanced regulation and planning in both low-and high-income settings. Garrick and his team advocate for improved data collection initiatives, with a shift from separated to integrated approaches. They suggest using technology to measure water pumping and collecting remotely sensed data to monitor land use changes. As well, regulatory improvements are crucial, with mounting limits for carbon emissions and groundwater lessening established at various levels.
With groundwater management already a difficult challenge, we must act fast to understand the implications of the clean energy boost and poverty reduction acts to avoid these gains being won away by wells running dry. The rapid adoption of solar irrigation intensifies the urgency, demanding adaptation from governments and institutions to sail through these complexities.
12. According to paragraph 3, there is a conflict between ________.
A. poor farmers and solar-powered irrigation B. human consumption and clean energy limits
C. crop diversity and crop production expansion D. pumping efficiency and groundwater exhaustion
13. What did Garrick and his team suggest for a positive change
A. Integrating data collection and regulation. B. Improving carbon emission monitoring.
C. Separating data for land use changes. D. Establishing groundwater levels.
14. What does the author propose the readers do
A Perform as the authorities suggest. B. Act based on further understanding.
C. Quicken the adoption of solar irrigation. D. Challenge the groundwater management.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Complexities of Adopting Solar Pumps
B. Solar-Powered Irrigation: Farmers’ New Future
C. The Promise and Risks of Solar-Powered Irrigation
D. Balancing Clean Energy Boost and Poverty Reduction

An egg sandwich in hand, I quickly grabbed my bag and climbed into the honking car. I took out my physics notes and started skimming through them once more.
Today was a very important exam-of physics. For me, it is a really hard subject and I had worked really tough and intended to do my best in it.
I entered the queue outside the assigned classroom where the invigilator(监考老师)was checking our pencil cases. All the seniors and juniors were mixed and we were sitting in an English letter order. Upon looking at my name, I was surprised to see someone else sitting on my seat. She was a senior.
“Um. . . excuse me, I think you got the wrong seat… ” my squeaky(细)voice faltered(支吾).
She stared in front in a bored way. I had the feeling she was deliberately ignoring me. I had enough trouble socializing with people, so I decided to leave the matter to the invigilator. The invigilator came soon enough.
“Katie, dear, you need to move one seat back for Aliya here, ” the invigilator explained.
The girl, Katie, shifted and I settled down. The girl in front of me turned around and rolled her eyes at me. Now, I was puzzled. What was wrong I had annoyed two people at the same time
These thoughts drifted away as I started focusing on the paper. Minutes passed when out of the blue,there was a tap on my shoulder.
The girl behind me, Katie, whispered, “Quick! Change places with me.”
I froze. It took me a moment to process her words. Without even waiting for a response, she grabbed my arms, pulled me up and made me sit on her seat, exchanging our papers too. Then she and the girl in front of her started to exchange some notes. I didn’t know what to do. I fought hard to collect enough courage and raised my hand, but the invigilator was busy with another candidate.

What’s the truth of joy I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However,ever since I started my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another time！Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home ownership, huh That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said, “Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff！”
And in that moment, a minimalist family was born.

In 1835, William Talbot finally succeeded in producing a photograph of his country house. He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The drawing was formed “by the action of light upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical (光学的) and chemical means alone.
By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera. Advocates for the technology stated that not only was it more precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper.
The removal of human fallibility in the creating process was one of photography’s biggest selling points, but this also started debates about the new medium’s implications for visual culture. Could images made largely by a machine be considered art If so, where did human creativity fit in this process
As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated (自动化的), more and more people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world. Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph. By typing a sentence, users can generate “new” images composed from images collected across the internet. The result has been a flood of AI-generated images in places that are previously unique to human authors. Painting competitions, commercial graphic design and the fashion of portraiture (肖像) have all since collided with the technology in troubling ways.
The fine arts were thought to be a final hold-out of human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality of AI-generated images is producing deeper questions about the nature of originality. If the history of photography tells us anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural gatekeeping.
8. Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture
A. To downplay human factors in the creation. B. To investigate a supernatural phenomenon.
C. To show his advanced knowledge in science. D. To demonstrate the beauty of his country house.
9. What does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The photo of Talbot’s house. B. The image by a draftsman.
C. The technology of a camera. D. The paper sensitive to light.
10. What do OpenAI and cameras have in common
A. They improve the taste of beauty. B. They advocate fashion designs.
C. They challenge human agency. D. They produce original images.
11. What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography
A. Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did.
B. AI-generated images will go through a similar debate.
C. The nature of originality will be held in human hands.
D. The fine arts will include photography and AI images.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以代替人类进行作画，其出现引起了人们的讨论类似于当初摄影的出现。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The drawing was formed “by the action of light upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical (光学的) and chemical means alone.(他宣称他的房子是已知的第一个自己画房子的房子。这幅画是“光在感光纸上的作用”形成的。摄影为大自然提供了一支“铅笔”，仅通过光学和化学手段为自己作画)”可知，塔尔博特宣称他的房子画了自己的画是为了淡化创作中的人为因素。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera.(到19世纪中期，人们不再需要聘请绘图员来绘制详细的图像，因为这个过程可以用相机立即完成)”以及划线词后文“more precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper”可知，照相机的技术不仅比人手更精确，而且更快、更便宜。故划线词指的是“照相机的技术”，故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated (自动化的), more and more people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world. Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph.(随着二十一世纪变得越来越自动化，越来越多的人试图确定人类在技术驱动的世界中的作用。OpenAI等公司用人工智能生成的图像引发了一些问题，就像照片出现时出现的那些问题一样)”可知，OpenAI和相机的共同之处在于都挑战了人类的作用。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If the history of photography tells us anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural gatekeeping.(如果说摄影的历史告诉了我们什么，那就是这场争论不会很快、直截了当地得到解决，也不会由我们通常与文化把关联系在一起的机构来解决)”可推知，作者提到摄影的历史是想说明人工智能生成的图像将经历类似的辩论。故选B。

In order to meet growing food production and energy needs in low-and middle-income countries, solar-powered groundwater irrigation (灌溉) is rapidly gaining ground. More than 500,000 solar pumps (泵) have been set up in south Asia over the last few years and a major expansion is planned across sub-Saharan Africa.
Dustin Garrick, professor in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, along with an international team, examined the trend toward solar pumps as a clear opportunity for boosting agricultural yields and reducing poverty, but the opportunity comes with risks.
While replacing electric or gas pumps with solar-powered irrigation holds the promise of reducing carbon emissions (排放), it is not guaranteed. Farmers who have access to these pumps may expand production of crops or diversify into other activities, which are not emissions neutral. Solar pumps will increase groundwater pumping efficiency, which may be desirable in regions that support such increases, but this could worsen groundwater lessening in regions that are already stressed. The cheap clean energy of solar pumps may lead to increased groundwater development, without necessarily decreasing overall emissions.
Despite these challenges, the clean-energy boost can serve as a stimulus for positive change in water and energy management but will require enhanced regulation and planning in both low-and high-income settings. Garrick and his team advocate for improved data collection initiatives, with a shift from separated to integrated approaches. They suggest using technology to measure water pumping and collecting remotely sensed data to monitor land use changes. As well, regulatory improvements are crucial, with mounting limits for carbon emissions and groundwater lessening established at various levels.
With groundwater management already a difficult challenge, we must act fast to understand the implications of the clean energy boost and poverty reduction acts to avoid these gains being won away by wells running dry. The rapid adoption of solar irrigation intensifies the urgency, demanding adaptation from governments and institutions to sail through these complexities.
12. According to paragraph 3, there is a conflict between ________.
A. poor farmers and solar-powered irrigation B. human consumption and clean energy limits
C. crop diversity and crop production expansion D. pumping efficiency and groundwater exhaustion
13. What did Garrick and his team suggest for a positive change
A. Integrating data collection and regulation. B. Improving carbon emission monitoring.
C. Separating data for land use changes. D. Establishing groundwater levels.
14. What does the author propose the readers do
A. Perform as the authorities suggest. B. Act based on further understanding.
C. Quicken the adoption of solar irrigation. D. Challenge the groundwater management.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Complexities of Adopting Solar Pumps
B. Solar-Powered Irrigation: Farmers’ New Future
C. The Promise and Risks of Solar-Powered Irrigation
D. Balancing Clean Energy Boost and Poverty Reduction
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C

细节理解题。根据第三段“Solar pumps will increase groundwater pumping efficiency, which may be desirable in regions that support such increases, but this could worsen groundwater lessening in regions that are already stressed.(太阳能水泵将提高地下水的抽水效率，这在支持这种增加的地区可能是可取的，但这可能会使已经受到压力的地区的地下水减少情况恶化)”可知，抽水效率与地下水枯竭之间存在冲突。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Garrick and his team advocate for improved data collection initiatives, with a shift from separated to integrated approaches. They suggest using technology to measure water pumping and collecting remotely sensed data to monitor land use changes. As well, regulatory improvements are crucial, with mounting limits for carbon emissions and groundwater lessening established at various levels. (Garrick和他的团队提倡改进数据收集计划，从分离的方法转变为集成的方法。他们建议使用技术来测量抽水和收集遥感数据来监测土地利用的变化。此外，监管方面的改进也至关重要，对碳排放的限制越来越多，在各个层面上都建立了地下水减少的限制)”可知，Garrick和他的团队建议整合数据收集和监管。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“With groundwater management already a difficult challenge, we must act fast to understand the implications of the clean energy boost and poverty reduction acts to avoid these gains being won away by wells running dry.(由于地下水管理已经是一项艰巨的挑战，我们必须迅速采取行动，了解促进清洁能源和减少贫困法案的影响，以避免这些成果因水井干涸而失去)”可知，作者建议读者在进一步了解的基础上采取行动。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In order to meet growing food production and energy needs in low-and middle-income countries, solar-powered groundwater irrigation (灌溉) is rapidly gaining ground.(为了满足低收入和中等收入国家不断增长的粮食生产和能源需求，太阳能地下水灌溉正在迅速普及)”结合文章主要说明了太阳能灌溉正在普及，提到了其中存在的机会和风险。可知，C选项“太阳能灌溉的前景和风险”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Today was a very important exam-of physics. For me, it is a really hard subject and I had worked really tough and intended to do my best in it.
I entered the queue outside the assigned classroom where the invigilator(监考老师)was checking our pencil cases. All the seniors and juniors were mixed and we were sitting in an English letter order. Upon looking at my name, I was surprised to see someone else sitting on my seat. She was a senior.
“Um. . . excuse me, I think you got the wrong seat… ” my squeaky(细的)voice faltered(支吾).
She stared in front in a bored way. I had the feeling she was deliberately ignoring me. I had enough trouble socializing with people, so I decided to leave the matter to the invigilator. The invigilator came soon enough.
“Katie, dear, you need to move one seat back for Aliya here, ” the invigilator explained.
The girl, Katie, shifted and I settled down. The girl in front of me turned around and rolled her eyes at me. Now, I was puzzled. What was wrong I had annoyed two people at the same time
These thoughts drifted away as I started focusing on the paper. Minutes passed when out of the blue,there was a tap on my shoulder.
The girl behind me, Katie, whispered, “Quick! Change places with me.”
I froze. It took me a moment to process her words. Without even waiting for a response, she grabbed my arms, pulled me up and made me sit on her seat, exchanging our papers too. Then she and the girl in front of her started to exchange some notes. I didn’t know what to do. I fought hard to collect enough courage and raised my hand, but the invigilator was busy with another candidate.
