My mother was a housewife. She thought that successful people spent a lot more time
reading than watching TV. So she asked my brother and me not to watch too much TV, but to
read two books every week in our free time. She would check them with marks, though she
couldn’t read the books at all．
When I went to high school, I was an A﹣student，but not for long．I wanted cool clothes
and hung out with friends. I went from being an A﹣student to a C﹣student，but I didn’t
care．One night I complained about not having enough Italian shirts．Then my mother gave me
all the money and said I could get the money left to buy shirts if I finished buying all the things
the family needed. I was very pleased with that, but after I bought those things, there was no
money left. I got to know how difficult it was for my mother to do all these. I went back to my
studies and became an A﹣student again. Finally, my dream came true and I became a doctor．
My story is really my mother’s story﹣a woman with little education greatly changed my
life as a parent．So I believe there is no job more important than parenting.

Art, to many, is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read
news about AI（人工智能）creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some
people worry that AI might someday replace artists.
But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. Many artists today are turning
AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to turn the virus
into a piece of nearly two﹣hour long music. The project was led by a scientist and he tried a
special note in each amino acid（氨基酸）. The AI then translated these notes into music.
Listeners found the project to be unbelievable. “It allows me to see the virus in a new
way, ” said one listener. This surprising marriage between science and art could not be
achieved without AI. As a scientist wrote, “AI helps artists play around in creative ways，
making things possible beyond what they have ever thought before.”
AI can also take care of repetitive tasks for artists. For example, in the comic and
animation（动画） industries, there are now AI tools that can color in black and white line
drawings. It could give artists room to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color
each frame.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced
by technology. AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed
and not feared.
（ ）26.What is the main worry about AI and art according to Paragraph 1？
A．AI might take the place of artists.
B．AI might make art too similar to each other.
C．AI might make art too expensive for most people.
D．AI might become better at creating art than humans.
（ ）27.How did the scientist use AI in his music project？
21世纪教育网(www.21cnjy.com)
中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台
A．He had AI turn the virus into music.
B．He had AI show the meaning of the virus.
C．He had AI study the notes of different amino acids.
D．He had AI create special notes for each amino acid.
（ ）28.What does the pronoun “ it ” in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．AI. B．The project. C．Note. D．Music.
（ ）29.What does the underlined word “frame” in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．An idea. B．An area. C．A picture. D．A form.
（ ）30.What is the best title of the passage？
A．A big change to the world B．A special note created by AI
C．A new piece of music by AI D．A useful tool for the art world

Art, to many, is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about AI（人工智能）creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.
But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to turn the virus into a piece of nearly two﹣hour long music. The project was led by a scientist and he tried a special note in each amino acid（氨基酸）. The AI then translated these notes into music.
Listeners found the project to be unbelievable. “It allows me to see the virus in a new way, ” said one listener. This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI. As a scientist wrote, “AI helps artists play around in creative ways，making things possible beyond what they have ever thought before.”
AI can also take care of repetitive tasks for artists. For example, in the comic and animation（动画）industries, there are now AI tools that can color in black and white line drawings. It could give artists room to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color each frame.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technology. AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed and not feared.
（ ）26.What is the main worry about AI and art according to Paragraph 1？
A．AI might take the place of artists.
B．AI might make art too similar to each other.
C．AI might make art too expensive for most people.
D．AI might become better at creating art than humans.
（ ）27.How did the scientist use AI in his music project？
A．He had AI turn the virus into music.
B．He had AI show the meaning of the virus.
C．He had AI study the notes of different amino acids.
D．He had AI create special notes for each amino acid.
（ ）28.What does the pronoun “ it ” in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．AI. B．The project. C．Note. D．Music.
（ ）29.What does the underlined word “frame” in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．An idea. B．An area. C．A picture. D．A form.
（ ）30.What is the best title of the passage？
A．A big change to the world B．A special note created by AI
C．A new piece of music by AI D．A useful tool for the art world
