Art Is Already Transfrming Creative Wrk
Fr years, the cnventinal wisdm amng Silicn Valley futurists was that artificial intelligence and autmatin spelled dm fr blue-cllar wrkers whse jbs invlved repetitive manual labr. Truck drivers, retail cashiers and warehuse wrkers wuld all lse their jbs t rbts, they said, while wrkers in creative fields like art, entertainment and media wuld be safe. Well, an unexpected thing happened recently: A.I. entered the creative class.
In the past few mnths, image generatrs like DALL-E 2, Midjurney and Stable Diffusin have made it pssible fr anyne t create unique, hyper-realistic images just by typing a few wrds int a textbx. These apps, thugh new, are already surprisingly ppular.
It’s still t early t tell whether this new wave f apps will end up csting artists and illustratrs their jbs. What seems clear, thugh, is that these tls are already being put t use in creative industries. Sarah Drummnd, a service designer in Lndn, started using images a few mnths ag t replace the black-and-white sketches she did fr her jb. These were usually basic drawings that visually represented prcesses she was trying t design imprvements fr. Instead f spending hurs creating what she called “blb drawings” by hand, Ms Drummnd nw types what she wants int DALL-E 2 r Midjurney. She als acknwledged that A.I. image generatrs had limitatins. They aren’t gd at mre cmplex sketches, fr example, r creating multiple images with the same character. And like the ther creative prfessinals, she said she didn’t think A.I. designers wuld replace human illustratrs utright.

人工智能生成的艺术正在改变创意工作
多年来，硅谷未来主义者的传统观点是，人工智能和自动化意味着从事重复性体力劳动的蓝领工人的末日。他们说，卡车司机、零售收银员和仓库工人都会被机器人抢走工作，而艺术、娱乐和媒体等创意领域的工作者则会安然无恙。然而，最近一件意想不到的事情发生了：人工智能进入了创意领域。
在过去的几个月里，像DALL-E 2、Midjurney和Stable Diffusin这样基于人工智能的图像生成器，让任何人都可以通过在文本框中输入几个字来创建独特的、超逼真的图像。这些应用程序虽然是新出现的，但已经出奇地受欢迎。
现在判断这一波新的应用程序是否最终会让艺术家和插画师失去工作还为时过早。不过，似乎很清楚的是，这些工具已经在创意产业中得到了应用。伦敦的服务设计师莎拉·德拉蒙德几个月前开始使用人工智能生成的图像，来取代她为工作所做的黑白草图。这些通常是基本的绘图，直观地展示了她试图设计改进的流程。德拉蒙德女士现在不用花几个小时手工绘制她所谓的“团状绘图”，而是把她想要的东西输入DALL-E 2或Midjurney。她也承认人工智能图像生成器有局限性。例如，它们不擅长更复杂的草图，或者创建具有相同角色的多个图像。而且，和其他创意专业人士一样，她说她认为人工智能设计师不会完全取代人类插画师。
【词汇积累】
•cnventinal：adj. 传统的，常规的
•wisdm：n. 智慧，明智
•spell dm fr：意味着……的末日
•repetitive：adj. 重复的
•manual labr：体力劳动
•hyper - realistic：adj. 超现实的
•end up：最终成为，最后处于
•utright：adv. 完全地，彻底地
【知识拓展】
人工智能在艺术领域的应用现状：除了文中提到的图像生成器，人工智能还被用于音乐创作、文学写作等领域。例如，有软件可以根据给定的风格和主题创作音乐，也有工具能生成故事、诗歌等。
对艺术创作的影响：人工智能为艺术创作提供了新的手段和思路，降低了创作门槛，让更多人能够参与到艺术创作中。但同时，也引发了关于艺术本质的讨论，如人工智能生成的作品是否具有人类艺术作品中的情感和创造力等。
【词汇延伸】
与“艺术”相关词汇：artwrk（艺术品）、artist（艺术家）、illustratin（插画）、creativity（创造力）、inspiratin（灵感）。
与“人工智能”相关词汇：artificial intelligence（人工智能）、machine learning（机器学习）、deep learning（深度学习）、virtual reality（虚拟现实）。

In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cwby wh saved his twn, a strict father wh demanded his sn earn straight A’s, and a mdern-day Juliet wh died f heartbreak after her parents rejected the lve f her yung life. Mre than nce, I fund myself wndering just hw my students, wh’d created these peple, knew their subjects s well.
But things were different fr their first essay, which was abut the questin: “Why is writing imprtant?” Mst f the essays filled less than ne page, and few cntained a sentence that culd be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shcked. Then I realized that the prblem was the questin itself. They culd have written pages n the necessity f cmputers, but writing, in and f itself, simply didn’t strike them as imprtant. This wuld have t change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyne t write a persuasive piece n a health-related tpic f their chice. This time they fund the exercise much mre interesting. Fr the next tw assignments, a persnal-narrative unit fllwed by a creative-writing wrkshp, I nly required that the piece meet the specificatins f its genre (体裁) and that it cntain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students tk n diverse tpics and turned in stries, 10 t 20 pages each, with characters that bradened my view and tuched my heart.
I walked int class believing that writing is imprtant as a means f cmmunicatin. Hwever, my students demnstrated smething mre imprtant t me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbk full f messages abut writing’s mst pwerful significance — the ability t cnnect peple, t put us in anther’s skin, t teach us what it means t be human.

【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cwby wh saved his twn, a strict father wh demanded his sn earn straight A’s, and a mdern-day Juliet wh died f heartbreak after her parents rejected the lve f her yung life. Mre than nce, I fund myself wndering just hw my students, wh’d created these peple, knew their subjects s well. (去年，在我九年级的写作课上，我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲，还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次，我暗自琢磨，这些塑造了这些人物的学生，究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知，这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Mst f the essays filled less than ne page, and few cntained a sentence that culd be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shcked. Then I realized that the prblem was the questin itself. They culd have written pages n the necessity f cmputers, but writing, in and f itself, simply didn’t strike them as imprtant. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页，几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容，但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知，学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳，是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。
【23题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students tk n diverse tpics and turned in stries, 10 t 20 pages each, with characters that bradened my view and tuched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题，交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长，其中的人物拓宽了我的视野，也触动了我的心)”可推知，此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事，与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”，与B选项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。故选B。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，再根据文章最后一段中“I walked int class believing that writing is imprtant as a means f cmmunicatin. Hwever, my students demnstrated smething mre imprtant t me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbk full f messages abut writing’s mst pwerful significance — the ability t cnnect peple, t put us in anther’s skin, t teach us what it means t be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而，学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时，我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义：它能连接人与人，让我们换位思考，教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知，文章通过作者的教学经历，说明她在教导学生的同时，自己也领悟到写作的真正意义，这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选A。
命题特点
考查对象明确:多为生词（课标外词汇，如派生词、合成词）、熟词生义（常见词的不常见用法，如“check”表“寄存”）、固定短语（如“break the ice”）或指代性内容（如代词“it”“this”指代的具体对象）。偶尔涉及对复杂句子含义的推断（需结合上下文梳理逻辑）。
语境依赖性强:答案几乎都能通过该词句所在的前后句、段落逻辑或全文主旨找到线索，不依赖课外知识，侧重“语境猜义”而非“词汇量记忆”。
位置分布集中:多位于长难句、逻辑转折处（如but/hwever）、因果关系处（如because/s）或举例说明处（如fr example），这些位置通常有明确的解释或提示信息。
命题规律
线索设置有固定方向:命题人会在目标词句附近设置“提示信号”，常见类型：
定义/解释：通过“that is”“in ther wrds”“which means”等引出解释；
举例说明：通过“such as”“fr instance”“like”列举例子辅助理解；
逻辑关系：通过转折（but/hwever）、因果（s/therefre）、递进（furthermre）等关联词暗示含义；
同义/反义替换：上下文出现与目标词句意思相近（如“similarly”）或相反（如“unlike”）的表达；
生活常识/背景信息：结合段落主题（如“环保”“科技”）推断相关词汇含义（如“sustainable”结合环保主题可猜为“可持续的”）。
词句猜测题解题思维
定位原文，圈划上下文：找到目标词句在原文的位置，重点阅读其前一句、后一句，以及所在段落的首尾句（把握段落主题，避免孤立理解）。
抓“提示信号”，找逻辑线索：聚焦上文提到的“定义、举例、关联词、同义反义”等信号，提炼与目标词句相关的“解释性内容”。
结合主题，初步推断：若上下文线索不明显，结合全文主旨或段落核心话题缩小范围（如主题是“网络安全”，则“hacker”可优先猜为与“网络攻击”相关的人）。
词句猜测干扰项特征
字面意思迷惑：直接取目标词的常见含义（尤其针对“熟词生义”题），但与上下文语境不符。
脱离上下文，过度联想：基于目标词的字面意思或常识随意扩展，加入原文未提及的信息。
与部分线索矛盾：仅符合上下文某一处信息，但与整体逻辑冲突（如忽略转折词后的内容）。
偷换概念：用与目标词句相关但不同的概念替换（如将“specific（具体的）”偷换为“detailed（详细的）”，二者含义相近但不完全等同，需结合语境区分）。

Passage 2
【2024届河南省鹤壁市高中高三第二次模拟试题】
Saying farewell t smene yu lve, even fr a night, can be difficult, much less saying gdbye fr a lifetime r frever in death. Juliet bid Rme adieu (再见) fr the evening with the wrds, “Parting is such sweet srrw.” Sweet srrw is an xymrn. But this seeming cntradictin is true in the cntext f relatinships.
Relatinships are based n feelings, emtins, and passin. Deep friendships and lving relatinships are measured by the level f emtinal attachment. Emtins intensify ver time. Peple spend time with the peple they like. The mre ne persn likes anther persn, the clser the relatinship becmes. Each persn in the relatinship receives an emtinal benefit frm knwing the ther persn.
Saying gdbye means separating frm the peple wh make up a significant part f yur emtinal identity. Separatin, even a temprary absence, frm the peple yu have a deep emtinal cnnectin with can cause srrw because yu will n lnger be able t enjy their cmpany.
The sweet side f saying gdbye is the emtinal fulfillment f being in a clse relatinship. The time spent tgether is emtinally rewarding, especially if that persn is seen as a sulmate. Humans are scial beings. We seek the lve and cmfrt f ther peple. Lneliness devastates the human cnditin and leads t sadness. Sad peple will d anything they can t find fulfilling relatinships. Likewise, happy peple will d anything they can t maintain r enhance relatinships. Herein lies the essential pint f the emtinal prblem.
The mre intense relatinships becme, the mre devastating the emtinal lss that is felt upn separatin. The exhilaratin f relatinships cannt be truly measured withut experiencing the verwhelming lss f a deep emtinal cnnectin.
Enjy the cmpany f the persn yu are with as lng as yu can; knwing the pain yu will feel at the end f the relatinship is the true measure f the relatinship. If it desn’t hurt t say gdbye, perhaps it wasn’t wrth saying hell.
8．Which f the wrd grup can create the same effect as “sweet srrw”?
A．icy cldB．clicking sundC．deafening silenceD．endless speech
9．What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A．Saying gdbye is unavidable in ur daily life.
B．The cmpanin f clse friends can lessen srrw.
C．A persn’s identity is cnnected with relatinship.
D．Separatin is the srrwful part f saying gdbye.
10．What gives a persn emtinal satisfactin in scial life?
A．Making mre cmmunicatin with thers.
B．Building deep emtinal cnnectins with thers.
C．Cmfrting friends with lve and intense feelings.
D．Being a thughtful persn by standing in thers’ shes.
11．What is the main idea f the passage?
A．Sweet srrw is very cmmn in clse relatinships.
B．The pain f separatin is the measure f relatinships.
C．Human beings are eager t get emtinal fulfillment.
D．Happiness is meaningless withut sadness t cmpare it.
Passage 3
（2024届·河南信阳一模）
The pssible explanatins fr the natural rts f envy are easy t imagine. Scial cmparisn is hw we judge ur relative place in sciety, and thus hw we knw what t achieve in rder t stay cmpetitive fr resurces. When we see that we fall behind thers, the pain we feel ften encurages us t build urselves up—r t tear thers dwn.
Hw peple act in the face f this pain has led sme schlars t distinguish between kind envy and harmful envy. The frmer is miserable, but is met with a desire fr self-imprvement and t catch up with the envied persn. In cntrast, harmful envy leads t destructive actins, such as hstile thughts and behavir intended t harm the ther persn. Kind envy ccurs when yu believe that admiratin fr the ther persn is deserved; harmful envy kicks in when yu believe it isn’t.
Envy—especially when harmful—is terrible fr yu. Scientists find that envying ther peple stimulates the brain, which is assciated with bth physical and mental pain. It can als spil yur future. Ordinarily, peple becme psychlgically healthier as they age; envy can prevent this trend. Even thugh ther studies have shwn that kind envy might encurage yur ambitin, this ne did nt find that envy predicted later ecnmic success at all.
T feel envy, yu need t have expsure t peple wh appear mre frtunate than yu. That is simple enugh in rdinary interactins. But the cnditins f envy explde if we expse peple t a wide grup f strangers presenting their lives t lk as splendid, successful, and happy as pssible. Obviusly, I am describing scial media. In fact, academics have even used the term Facebk envy t capture the uniquely fertile circumstances that scial media creates fr this destructive emtin.
If I culd snap (捻) my fingers and wipe ut envy frm my life, I wuld, and I bet yu wuld t. But envy is natural, and getting rid f it wuld be impssible fr all but perhaps the mst enlightened (开明的) peple. Lts f research shws that gratitude destrys envy. S, next time the dg f envy barks inside yu, quiet it with thughts f the peple wh lve yu, the things yu enjy, and the gd frtune yu have had.
5．Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A．By making cmparisns.B．By giving explanatins.
C．By making a judgement.D．By imagining a scene.
6．What has been fund by scientists abut envy?
A．Peple f kind envy usually live a miserable life.
B．Harmful envy ccurs when peple deny their beliefs.
C．Envy may cntribute t terrible suffering t peple.
D．It prves that kind envy cntributes t great success.
7．Why is the term Facebk envy used by academics?
A．T refer t a phenmenn cmmn in scial media.
B．T describe hw destructive the harmful emtin is.
C．T shw hw splendid and happy peple’s lives are.
D．T illustrate the influence f rdinary interactins.
8．What can prevent us frm being envius?
A．Finger snaps and dg barks.B．Gratefulness and appreciatin.
C．Thughtfulness and cnfidence.D．Self-imprvement and ptimism.

D Lbsters Feel Pain?
The traditinal methd fr cking a lbster (龙虾) — biling it alive — raises the questin f whether r nt lbsters feel pain. 16 . Lbsters g bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lbster increases the risk f illness and reduces the quality f its flavr.
