26、   Although there are fillers（滤镀）which can change digital photographs to make them similar to a painting, obvious differences still exist.

A brand-new painting Al has been made public recently. Much like the pupils of the old masters, the new Al studies the work of great painters like Vermeer and Van Gogh and learns to reproduce their works.

The Al, named "paintBot", is the creation of a team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the  Bytedance Al Lab and Adobe Research.

PaintBot can not only reproduce the work of different artists but create new works based on photographs in the chosen painter's characteristic style.

To train the Alto imitate（模 仿）a given artist's technique, the researchers would present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings. With each reference painting it studies, the Al gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given artist's technique, including the stroke（笔画）color, position and size—along with the order in which each brushstroke should be made.

PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning（强化学习）.During the learning process, the Al would practice reproducing reference paintings, which it would then compare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was improving its imitation of the artist's style. It takes around six hours for the Al to learn to imitate a given painter.

Once the Al has mastered a particular artist's technique, the researchers could present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style. The Al then uses what it has learnt to produce a new painting, putting down each brushstroke one at a time.

After being trained in a given style, PaintBot takes only around five minutes to produce each of its digital masterpieces.

The way that PaintBot's compositions are built up from thousands of individual brushstrokes makes the AI's works more realistic than those online filters.

【1】What does the author say about filters used to change digital photos?

A.They do amazing work. B.They are out of date.

C.They have different uses. D.They are not good enough.

【2】What does PaintBot need to do first before imitating a certain artist's painting?

A.Learn the artist's techniques.

B.Recognize the value of the painting.

C.Compare the painting with other works.

D.Understand the artist's family background.

【3】How does PaintBot create works?

A.It follows the given style. B.It learns from the researchers.

C.It just imitates the reference paintings. D.It mixes techniques of different artists.

【4】Which of the following best describes PaintBot's paintings according to the author?

A.Popular. B.Valuable. C.Advanced. D.Lifelike.

27、   Owen Williams and his wife befriended their eighty-year-old neighbor, Ken Watson, when they moved into their home in Wales three years ago. When their daughter, Cadi, was born a year later, Watson became a grandfather figure, taking the time to drop off Christmas presents for the child. Watson died in October.

On Monday, Watson’s daughter stopped by the Williams home with a large bag containing 14 wrapped Christmas presents her father had bought and wrapped for Cadi.

Williams posted notes about what happened on Twitter to spread some Christmas spirit. He wrote that he wasn’t sure whether he should give his daughter all the presents now, or hold onto them and give her one a year. Twitter responded in a big way, with many saying the story brought them to tears. So many people weighed in about the gifts, in fact, that Williams made a Twitter poll. So far, more than 55,000 people have voted on how he should distribute the gifts.

Williams, who is a social-media consultant, said the majority of people are voting for giving Cadi one present a year. He said he has no idea what is in the packages, but he’s leaning toward listening to the will of the voters.“I think we’re going to turn it into a Christmas story for our daughter,” he said. “We’ll do one a year for the next 14 years. It feels like the right thing to do now. If she opens a box of Lego when she’s 16 then so be it.”

He said he was struck by how many people have responded by saying their neighbors are virtual strangers to them.“The thing that stands out to me is how few people know their neighbors,” Williams said. “People are saying, ‘That’s so lovely. I don’t even know my neighbors.’ … This Christmas, take your neighbors a bottle of wine or a small gift, a token. Just say, ‘Hi.’ You can open a new world like we did.”

【1】How old is Cadi?

A.two years old B.one year old C.three years old D.18 months old

【2】What happened when Williams told the story on Twitter?

A.He received a lot of donations.

B.He received a lot of suggestions.

C.He was moved to tears by the response.

D.He decided that he should give his daughter the presents.

【3】The underlined word Lego probably refers to _____.

A.A delicious edible gift B.An adult gift

C.A meaningful gift for teenagers D.A gift for children

【4】What makes Williams feel surprised?

A.Few people have relationships with their neighbours.

B.Neighbours can be extremely kind and generous.

C.More people are opening new worlds with their neighbours.

D.Many people are sharing similar experiences.

28、Every festival has its own meaning. Labor Day, for example, celebrates the value of hard work. Thanksgiving is about showing thanks to people around you. And Valentines’ Day is a time when you express love to your loved ones. But somehow it now seems that all festivals we just care about one thing—shopping. And that can be a big problem.

“In a way, over -consumption(过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems” Kalle Lasn once told CNN. Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day, a day set up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits, and has now become an international event. It’s held on the day, which is known as Black Fridny—a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.

You can see the irony(讽刺)here.

Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up 26 years ago, we seem to need it now more than ever. It’s just as Lasn said, all the different kinds of pollution in our lives today bad air quality, the reduction of forest area, endangered animal species, and plastic bags found in the ocean—seem to be the same cause: over-consumption.

The latest example is the Singles’ Day shopping craze of Nov 1l, which saw a new sales record. But as Nie Li, a campaigner at Greenpeace, told Reuters. “Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste. ” And it was reported that last year the Singles’ Day packages left more than 160,000 tons of waste, including plastic and cardboard. The Collins dictionary has also just named “single-use” its Word of the Year, pointing out the problem that there’re too many things we tow out after only using them once.

So, Buy Nothing Day might only be here for one day a year, but it’s not just to remind us to the a break from shopping on that day, but to change our lifestyle completely, focusing on fun   “with people we care about” rather than wasting money on useless things.

【1】What’s the authors purpose of writing the first paragraph?

A．To express the people's love for all festivals.

D．To bring out the topic of the passage.

【2】Why did Kalle Lasn organize Buy Nothing Day?

A．To help people save money.

B．To cut the cost for daily life.

D．To set up a new sales record.

【3】What's Nie Li’s attitude towards the shopping craze?

A．Opposed (反对的).

B．Supportive.

C．Unknown.

D．Neutral(中立的).

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．Creating a New Lifestyle

B．Buy Nothing Day

C．Festivals Around the World

D．A Change in People’s Life

29、   “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step to becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organisation’s expections. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.

●Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.

●Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

●Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.

●Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organisation’s expections.

●Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

●Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”

【1】Volunteering can help______.

A.make a decision B.make a person’s life better

30、This article is for all of the teenagers out there. Even though ____ you are years from being fully grown, society regularly expects you to adult. Yes, you are ____ in many ways: many of you drive and do so quite safely, and you handle schedules that would ____ many adults. But you probably cannot process caffeine (咖啡因) as constantly as your parents can because of your still-growing bodies and brains.

I understand it feels grown-up to be drinking a cup of Starbucks. But all of this caffeine may worsen your anxiety, affect tonight’s sleep and tomorrow’s school performance, ____ nutrient absorption and even cause real trouble when mixed with alcohol. The following four aspects may well ____ the theme of this article.

The power of caffeine

Caffeine is widely considered a drug that is socially acceptable, universally used, even cool, but it still causes ____ symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and a lack of attention when removed from coffee-addicts’ diets.

How much is healthy?

Caffeine is by no means a nutrient; you do not need it to be healthy. ____, it is a substance that can leave you lacking nutrients because it has been shown to reduce calcium (钙). Caffeine probably causes the body to release water. And the more caffeinated drinks you consume, the less likely you are to drink water. So experts say that adolescents should consume ____ amounts of caffeine a day (≤100 mg).

Caffeine’s ____

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 65 percent of middle and higher schoolers are ____ to insufficient sleep on school nights. Some of their sleep problems can be mainly attributed to (归因于) caffeine, which can remain in the body for seven hours after ____, thus causing teens’ worse performance the next day. It is widely assumed that adequate sleep ____ proper growth and brain development. During childhood and adolescence, the brain goes through a period called synaptic pruning (突触修剪) when unnecessary connections are promoted.

Caffeine labelling

Caffeine is not listed on the Nutrition Facts column on food labels because it is not a ____. It may be listed as an ingredient, but the amount is not required. Caffeine is now added to foods such as gum, candy and water, along with makeup and beauty products that ____ to reduce swelling (肿块).

Taste preferences and eating habits are often cultivated in childhood and adolescence, so teens, when you consume sweet, caffeinated drinks every time you feel sluggish (无精打采的), you are creating a pattern that may be hard to break as an adult.
