22、Six-year-old Kendall Rae Johnson has been in love with gardening all her life. Now, the Georgia native is the state’s youngest certified farmer. Taught by her grandmother, Kendall started her first garden on a backyard, and by her fourth birthday, she had a backyard garden filled with carrots, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and strawberries. Her green thumb just didn’t extend in the walls of her garden. She started a monthly gardening club with subscription food boxes, to help spread awareness about farming among her peers.

Kendall’s journey to becoming a certified farmer didn’t happen overnight. First, she had to get a business unit at the state and federal levels. Then she joined various farming organizations associated with Georgia’s Department of Agriculture and Georgia Farm Bureau. This made her qualified to be certified.

The ambitious grower was to apply for scholarships so she can purchase her own land and run the business, which she can legally do now that she is certified. She also hopes to raise $10,000 for an outdoor agricultural science lab to begin composting. Kendall’s mother told ABC News her daughter was “the example of young entrepreneurship and the future of Black farmers.”

Black farmers are few and far between. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, of the farmers in the United States, less than 2% are black. However, Black people do have a strong history in farming. In 1920 there were nearly a million black farmers in the United States: there are just 45,000 now. But Kendall can help change that. Kendall regularly attends farming conferences and Agriculture summits and is committed to making a difference in the field. Throughout it all, she is still a kid and says her main goal is to make new friends. But along the way she also hopes to motivate those friends to grow an interest in farming.

【1】What can we learn about Kendall’s gardening club?

A．It took her over a month to prepare.

B．It made her the youngest certified farmer.

C．It was created as a gift for her fourth birthday.

D．It is aimed at teaching other kids about farming.

【2】What does the author intend to convey in paragraph 2?

A．Getting certified as a farmer is not easy.

B．Kendall is the youngest farmer in the USA.

C．The journey to Kendall’s garden is difficult.

D．Kendall is popular among farming organizations.

【3】What enables Kendall to buy land for her business?

A．Asking for scholarships.

B．Raising money by delivering speeches.

C．Earning money through her science lab.

23、   It is reported in the national press that a letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice.

“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. “It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”

Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D.C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian’s property.

The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis, “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”

It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don’t even have access to.”

【1】What happened to Darwin’s letter in the 1970s?

A.It was recovered by the FBI.

B.It was put in the archives for research purposes.

C.It was stolen more than once.

D.It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.

【2】What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?

A.They pressed criminal charges in vain. B.They kept it in a special safe.

C.They arrested the suspect immediately. D.They proved its authenticity.

【3】What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?

A.Reserve it for research purposes only. B.Make it available online.

C.Keep it a permanent secret. D.Turn it into an object of high interest.

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

A.A Letter by Charles Darwin Returns to the Smithsonian

B.The Smithsonian Tightens Security Measures

C.The Smithsonian Charges an Intern with Theft

D.The FBI Cracks a Criminal Case

24、Just last month，AI-generated art arrived on the auction (拍卖) stage of Christie’s, proving that artificial intelligence can not only be creative but also produce world-class works of art — another significant AI milestone blurring the line between human and machine.

Naturally, the news sparked off debates about whether the work produced by Paris-based art collective Obvious could really be called art at all. Popular opinion among creatives is that art is a process by which human beings express some ideas or emotions, filter them through personal experience and set them against a broader cultural context. The story raised additional questions about ownership. In this circumstance，who can really be named as the author? The algorithm (算法) itself or the team behind it?

At GumGum, an AI company that focuses on computer vision, we wanted to explore the intersection of AI and art by devising a Turing Test of our own in association with Rutgers University’s Art and Artificial Intelligence Lab and Cloudpainter, an artificially intelligent painting robot. We were keen to see whether AI can，in fact, replicate (复制) the intent and imagination of traditional artists, and we wanted to explore the potential impact of AI on the creative sector.

To do this，we enlisted a broad collection of diverse artists from traditional pain-on-canvas artists to 3-D rendering and modeling artists alongside Pindar Van Arman — a classically trained artist who has been coding art robots for 15 years. Van Arman was tasked with using his Cloudpainter machine to create pieces of art based on the same data set as the more traditional artists. This data set was a collection of art by 20th century American Abstract Expressionists. Then, we asked them to document the process, showing us their preferred tools and telling us how they came to their final work.

Amazingly, while at face value the AI artwork was indistinguishable from that of the more traditional artists, the test revealed that the creative spark and ultimate agency behind creating a work of art is still very much human. Even though the Cloudpainter machine has evolved over time to become a highly intelligent system capable of making creative decisions of its own, the final piece of work could only be described as a collaboration (合作) between human and machine. Van Arman served as more of an “art director for the painting”.

As AI becomes an unstoppable force, it raises some difficult questions about the future role of humans in an increasingly automated world. Instead of worrying about AI’s threat to human creative supremacy, the future will be about accepting new technologies and the possibilities it brings for speeding up the process. It’s better to think of AI as your next creative assistant; beautiful pieces of work can be produced in collaboration with it.

【1】According to popular opinion, the AI-generated work_______.

A．should have been based on personal experience

B．was set against a broader cultural context

C．couldn’t be considered art at all

D．expresses no idea or emotion

【2】What did the experiment at GumGum show?

A．AI artworks could be easily identified

B．AI artworks could show human emotions.

C．AI had trouble making sensible decisions.

D．AI couldn’t complete a work independently.

【3】Which of the following statements would the author agree with?

A．Beautiful pieces cannot be works of AI.

B．AI could be an advanced tool for artists.

C．AI could challenge the supremacy of humans.

D．New technologies can pose a danger to humans.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Can AI Create True Art?

B．Can AI Threaten Humans?

C．Will Human Art Disappear?

D．Are AI Artworks Distinguishable?
