Many artists worry that artificial intelligence may interfere with artistic creation. But Sougwen Chung, a Canadian-Chinese artist, instead sees AI as an opportunity for artists to embrace uncertainty and challenge people to think about technology and creativity in unexpected ways.
Chungs art exhibitions are driven by technology. The artwork, she says, emerges not just in the finished piece but in all the messy in-betweens. “My goal,” she explains, “isn’t to replace traditional methods but to deepen and expand them, allowing art to arise from a genuine meeting of human and machine perspectives.”
Such a meeting took place in January 2025 in Switzerland, where Chung presented Spectral, a performative art installation featuring painting by robotic arms whose motions are guided by AI that combines data from earlier works with real-time input from an electroencephalogram（脑电图）. “My alpha state drives. the robot’s behavior, translating an internal experience into tangible gestures,” says Chung.
The goal was simple: As the artist drew, the arm copied. Except it didn’t work out that way. The arm made unexpected movements, creating sketches that were similar to Chung’s—but not identical. These “mistakes” became part of the creative process. “One of the most transformative lessons I’ve learned is to ‘poeticize error,’” Chung says. “I trust that the failures themselves can be generative.”
Zihao Zhang, an architect at the City. College of New York, sees Chung’s work as offering a different story about human-machine interactions. “We’re still, kind of trapped in this idea of AI versus human, and which one’s better,” he says. AI is often, characterized in the media as something that can supplant our workers. He believes works like Chung’s challenge the idea of either-or.
Chung believes that “artificial” intelligence still relies on human data, shaped by human biases, and it impacts human experiences in turn. She says, “These technologies don’t emerge in a vacuum—there’s real human effort. For me, art remains a space to explore and affirm human agency.”
24. What reflects Chung’s art philosophy
A. Keeping art free from technology. B. Letting art grow from unpredictability.
C. Aiming for perfectly finished artworks. D. Relying on conventional craftsmanship.
25. What is Spectral presented as in the text
A. A tightly controlled art project.
B. A combination of different art forms.
C. A painting made without human input.
D. A live artwork taking shape in performance.
26. What does the underlined word “supplant” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Replace. B. Discourage. C. Assist. D. Satisfy.
27. What. is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce robot-made artworks. B. To examine concerns about AI in art.
C. To explore an artist’s. creative use of AI. D. To promote an exhibition by a rising artist.

Have you ever felt “velvetmist” It’s a “complex and subtle emotion that brings comfort and a gentle sense of floating.” If you haven’t, that’s not surprising. An online forum user named Noahjeadie generated it with a chatbot, along with advice on how to create the feeling. Researchers say more and more terms for these “neo-emotions” are showing up online, describing new dimensions and aspects of feeling. But most neo-emotions aren’t created by chatbots. Humans come up with them in response to a changing world.
The sociologist Marci Cottingham believes that these coinages help us relate to one another and make sense of our experiences. So even when a neo-emotion is just a subtle variation on, or combination of, existing feelings, getting super-specific about those feelings helps us reflect and connect with other people.
These neo-emotions are part of a paradigm（范式）shift in emotion science. For decades, researchers argued that humans all share a set of a half-dozen or so basic emotions. But Lisa Feldman Barrett, a clinical psychologist at Northeastern University, thinks otherwise. By using tools like advanced brain imaging and studying babies and people from relatively isolated cultures, she has concluded there’s no such thing as a basic emotional palette（调色板）. The way we experience and talk about our feelings is culturally determined. “How do you know what anger and fear are Because somebody taught you,” Barrett says.
Just like any other tool humans make and use, emotions are a practical resource people are using as they navigate the world. Some neo-emotions, like velvetmist, might be mere novelties. But others, like eco-anxiety, can take on a life of their own and help drive social movements.
Both reading about and crafting your own neo-emotions could be surprisingly helpful. Lots of research supports the benefits of emotional granularity（粒度）. It turns out that people who use more detailed and specific words to describe their feelings go to the doctor less frequently. And many studies show this skill can be developed at any age.
Are you sure you’ve never felt velvetmist
28. What are neo-emotions
A. Online terms for emotional disorder. B. Widely shared basic human emotions.
C. Newly recognized emotional experiences. D. Complex emotions generated by chatbots.
29. Which statement would Barrett probably agree with
A. Emotional categories are not fixed. B. Emotions are simpler than once believed.
C. People have inborn emotional. knowledge. D. Culture plays little role in defining emotions.
30. In describing feelings, what does emotional granularity mainly involve
A. More positivity. B. Higher precision. C. Greater openness. D. Better. consistency.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Can Neo-emotions Enrich Cultures
B. Ignoring Emotions Comes at a Cost
C. Inventing New Emotions Feels Really Good
D. Can Chatbots Understand Human Emotions

A tiny piece of lab-grown wood could be a big step. towards reducing the number of trees cut down. “As far as we know, our early prototype（原型）is the first piece of interconnected wood-like tissue ever produced from, cell culture,” says Tom Clement at start-up New Dawn Bio.
What the firm calls “cultured wood” is a wood-based version of lab-grown meat. The first piece of material was made using stem cells from Arabidopsis thaliana, a small plant commonly used in lab studies. The piece, which Clement says is dark brown, is only about an eighth of the size of a postage stamp. The goal, however, is to use stem cells from various tree species and produce larger pieces of wood, such as an entire tabletop.
The company aims to produce wood more efficiently with lower environmental impact. Clement says the approach involves two main stages. First, plant stem cells are put in sugar water, enabling them to grow fast. Then, they are exposed to chemical or genetic cues to make them differentiate into fibre cells filled with cellulose—the primary component of plant cell walls—or vessel cells, which help transport water and minerals through the tissue. Together, these are the main structural components of wood. Once these cells become strong and bond with each other, they are combined to form any shape.
Eventually, the researchers aim to replicate（复制）wood from rare species threatened by illegal logging. Clement says cultured wood could displace harmful logging through relatively small-scale production. Lab-grown wood will be expensive, but it can still compete with costly rare wood.
This isn’t the first attempt at cultured wood. Researchers previously tried to print wood-like material, but were never able to produce material with the same mechanical properties as actual wood, says Fernando Velásquez-Garcia at MIT. “The million-dollar question is whether the cells connect. Are they just sitting together or are they shaking hands ” Clement declined to share how the cells connect or the mechanical properties of the resulting wood. Without more details, it is impossible to judge whether the start-up has done so, Fernando says.
32. What do we know about the lab-grown wood produced by New Dawn Bio
A. It has replaced natural wood products. B. It is considered an early breakthrough.
C. It is already large enough for tabletops. D. It comes from a rarely studied lab plant.
33. What is formed in the second stage of making cultured wood
A. Rare wood tissue. B. Water and minerals.
C. Fast-growing stem cells. D. Fibre cells and vessel cells.
34. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The prospects of rare wood products. B. The growing threat of illegal logging.
C. The potential value of cultured wood. D. The disadvantages of lab-grown wood.
35. Why does Fernando call cell connection “the million-dollar question”
A. It makes rare tree species even rarer. B. It affects how much the research costs.
C. It changes the properties of actual wood. D. It determines how wood-like the material is.

A Piece of Cake
From sharing a tasty snack to allocating（分配）resources between nations, having a strategy to divide things fairly will make everyone happier. But it gets complicated when things aren’t indistinguishable substances. _____36_____ Luckily, maths has some ideas.
When splitting between two parties, you might know a simple and mathematically optimal（最优的）rule: I cut, you choose. Since the person cutting the cake doesn’t choose, they are motivated to cut the cake fairly. Then when the other person chooses, everyone is satisfied. _____37_____ Neither participant can claim they would rather have the other person’s share.
_____38_____ It is more complicated, but still possible, to produce an envy-free allocation with several so-called fair-sharing algorithms.
Let’s say Alex, Blake and Chris are sharing a cake. Alex cuts the cake into three pieces, equal in value to him. Then Blake judges if there are at least two pieces he would be happy with. If Blake says yes, Chris chooses a piece; Blake chooses next, pleased to get one of the two pieces he liked, followed by Alex, who would be satisfied with any of the pieces. If Blake doesn’t think Alex’s split was far, Chris looks to see if there are two pieces he would take. _____39_____
If both Blake and Chris reject Alex’s initial chop, then there must be at least one piece they both thought was no good. This piece goes to Alex. _____40_____ The remaining two pieces are back together to create one piece of cake for Blake and Chris-to perform the rule “I cut, you choose” on.
So whatever is being shared, maths can help prevent arguments.
A. What if there are more people
B. If not, Chris cuts the remaining pieces.
C. They take turns to pick their favorite piece.
D. If yes, Blake picks first, then Chris, then Alex.
E. This results in what is called an envy-free allocation.
F. He is still happy, because he thought the pieces were all fine:
G. For example, cake pieces with cherries on top seem more desirable.

Adding Chinese Elegance to the Corridor
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been so busy with work that I had little time to spend with my nine-year-old son, Mike. Last summer, when I finally had a day off, Mike told me the school would be hosting a cookie auction（拍卖）. Each student was supposed to bake cookies with their father.
I’d never baked cookies, so we followed the instructions carefully. We opened a packet of instant cookie mix, added the required ingredients, shaped the dough（面团）into small rounds, and confidently placed them on a baking tray in the oven. Taking them out after fifteen minutes, I was surprised that the cookies were not the golden and perfectly shaped ones I’d seen in ads. In fact, some were unevenly baked, while others had spread too much on the tray. Mike, however, cherished this opportunity to work with me and was so happy that he didn’t seem to notice the problem.
After letting them cool, we tried decorating the cookies with icing. As a finishing touch, I sprinkled（撒）a few chocolate chips on top, hoping to add a bit of chocolate flavor to the cookies that didn’t look very appetizing. Mike gave me a proud grin; he thought they looked good. By then, we were already running late.
When we finally hurried to the auction, I was stunned. A long table was filled with a fantastic array of exquisitely designed cookies. In contrast, ours looked embarrassing; some were misshapen, the icing had melted, and the chocolate chips were scattered everywhere. I felt a flush coming to my face, but Mike didn’t seem to be ashamed of our creation. He solemnly placed our cookies at the end of the table. I gave Mike eight dollars, telling him to bid（出价）on the cookies he liked, hoping he would get some nicely made ones to make up for the embarrassment our cookies might bring him.
注意：
1. 写作词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon, the auctioneer lifted the first bag of cookies, and the auction began.
Mike handed over the-eight dollars, smiling as if the cookies were treasure.重庆巴蜀中学2026届高三月考（九）

Adding Chinese Elegance to the Corridor
I would like to suggest adding paper-cutting, poetry and traditional patterns to the culture corridor.
At the entrance, we can set up a paper-cutting display, with red works showing flowers, animals and scenes from festivals. Their bright color will quickly catch the exchange students’ attention. Along one side of the corridor, short lines from classic Chinese poems can be written in both Chinese and English, so visitors can enjoy the beauty of the language without feeling lost. On the other side, we can use traditional cloud and wave patterns as background designs, making the corridor look elegant and connected.
With these elements, the corridor will not be just a decorated space, but a small cultural journey. It will allow students from different backgrounds to experience Chinese culture in a clear, lively and memorable way.

Soon, the auctioneer lifted the first bag of cookies, and the auction began. He described their neat shapes and colorful decorations. Children crowded forward, calling out their bids excitedly. One bag after another was raised, described, and quickly sold, drawing laughter or applause. I anticipated the audience reaction to ours and my heart ached for Mike. At last, the auctioneer raised our cookies. Through the clear wrapper, they looked even worse under the bright lights, misshapen and messy. Before the auctioneer could say a word, Mike jumped to his feet and shouted, “Eight dollars!” The room went silent. No one offered a higher bid. The auctioneer paused, then nodded. “Sold.”
Mike handed over the eight dollars, smiling as if the cookies were treasure. It took me a moment to understand what had just happened. He had bought them himself, without hesitation. Holding the bag carefully, Mike walked toward me, beaming with pride. I heard him telling his friends, “Those are my cookies! My dad and I made those cookies!” I looked again at the cookies, and for the first time, I didn’t focus on their flaws. Instead, I saw the time we had spent together making them. As we left the room, Mike held the cookies close, and I realized that their true value had never been in how they looked, but in what they meant to him—and to us.

Many people have heard about the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. This idea dates back to a 1960s marketing campaign in Japan. But experts note that it is only a guideline. Shmied said the average American walks about 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, and that working toward 10,000 can be a good goal. Setting a time goal can also be useful. Shmied suggests dividing the recommended 150 minutes per week into 30 minutes a day, or 10 minutes three times a day, for five days. During rainy or snowy weather, people can walk in malls or on treadmills. As people become more experienced walkers, they can speed up or walk up hills while still keeping the exercise at a moderate level. “If you can talk but not sing,” Eby said, “that’s what we consider moderate-intensity exercise.”
Walking has also become a social activity for many people. Walking clubs have appeared across the nation. In 2022, 31-year-old personal trainer Brianna Joye Kohn started City Girls Who Walk. “We had 250 girls show up,” she said. Since then, the group has walked every Sunday for around 40 minutes, with some meeting afterwards for a meal or coffee.

第24题.B 细节理解与推理判断。解析：根据第一段中Chung把AI看作“an opportunity for artists to embrace uncertainty”和第四段她所说的“to ‘poeticize error’”“the failures themselves can be generative”可知，她的艺术哲学是让艺术从不可预测性中产生，故选B。
第25题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段对《Spectral》描述“a performative art installation featuring painting by robotic arms...”以及整体叙述可知，这是一个在现场表演过程中逐步成型的艺术作品，故选D。
第26题.A 词义猜测。解析：画线词所在句说AI在媒体中常被描绘成可以“supplant”我们的工人，结合上文“AI versus human, and which one’s better”可知，此处指AI取代工人，supplant与replace同义。故选A。
第27题.C 写作目的与主旨大意。解析：全文从Chung的艺术哲学到具体作品《Spectral》，再到他人评价，都在探讨她如何创造性地利用AI进行艺术创作，挑战非此即彼的人机对立观念，故选C。

Humans come up with them in response to a changing world”可知，“新情感”指的是人们为了回应变化的世界而创造的、描述情感新维度与新方面的词汇，也就是新近被识别的情感体验。故选C。
第29题.A 推理判断。解析：根据第三段中Barrett的观点“there’s no such thing as a basic emotional palette. The way we experience and talk about our feelings is culturally determined. ‘How do you know what anger and fear are Because somebody taught you,’”可知，她认为不存在固定的基本情感调色板，情感的分类和认知是受文化环境、后天教解决定的，因此情感类别并非固定不变的。故选A。
第30题.B 细节理解。解析：根据最后一段“people who use more detailed and specific words to describe their feelings go to the doctor less frequently”可知，情感粒度强调用更详细、具体的词语来描述感受，这体现的是更高的精确性。故选B。

第35题.D 推理判断。解析：最后一段Fernando将细胞连接称为“the million-dollar question”，并说“Are they just sitting together or are they shaking hands ”，联系上文他说此前打印材料无法获得真实木材的机械性能，可知细胞是否真正连接决定了材料是否具备木材特性，即它决定了材料有多像真木。故选D。
七选五主题语境：人与社会——社会交往与合作
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如何利用数学策略，在不同人数之间公平、无嫉妒地分配蛋糕等物品，从而避免争议。
第36题.G 例证逻辑与句间衔接。解析：空前一句说“当东西并非同质时，事情就复杂了”，意味着物品存在差异是分配变复杂的原因。选项G“例如，上面带樱桃的蛋糕块看起来更诱人”通过具体例子说明什么是“不同质”——樱桃块比普通块更让人想要，这正是导致分配复杂化的典型情形。该例证与空后“幸运的是，数学有一些办法”衔接自然：先点出问题（不同质），再举例说明（樱桃块），最后引出解决方案（数学办法）。故选G。
第37题.E 指示代词的指代与段落总结。解析：空前详细描述了“我切你选”规则下切割者力求公平、选择者满意的结果。空后补充说“双方都不会声称想要对方的那份”。选项E“这就产生了所谓的无嫉妒分配”中的This恰好总结前文规则带来的理想结果，与后文“不会想要对方那份”形成解释关系。故选E。
第38题.A 段落过渡与逻辑递进。解析：第二段讲的是两人分配规则，第三段开始具体讲Alex、Blake和Chris三人分蛋糕的算法。选项A“如果有更多人怎么办？”以设问形式实现从两人到多人的自然过渡，引出下文对三人情形的讨论。故选A。
第39题.D 条件逻辑与指代照应。解析：空前说“如果Blake不认为Alex切得公平，Chris会看是否至少有两块他愿意要的”。选项D“如果是这样，Blake先选，然后Chris，最后Alex”中的If yes直接呼应Chris判断有两块可接受的情况，选人顺序也符合算法逻辑：确认有两块可接受时，按B→C→A的顺序选择。故选D。
第40题.F 代词指代与因果逻辑。解析：空前说“如果Blake和Chris都否定了Alex最初的切分，那至少有一块他们俩都认为不好，这块就给Alex”。选项F“他仍然高兴，因为他本来就觉得所有的块都一样好”中的He指代Alex，“仍然高兴”解释了为什么Alex拿到被两人否定的那块仍无怨言——他是切割者，本就觉得每块价值均等。这体现了“无嫉妒”分配的核心。故选F。
