• 2．Helga Stentzel's Clothesline Animals combine charming images as fine art prints in various sizes.
     As an artist whose style she calls　"household surrealism?。ǔF(xiàn)實(shí)主義）"，she works in various media and has a large collection of works.Instead of throwing an old pair of pants or T-shirt away，Helga Stentzel puts her tired garments out to the farm.By hanging them on a simple clothesline she sets up and folding them artfully that look like animals，she takes wonderful pictures.Some are shot in real locations while others are digitally placed in environments in charming form with appealing colors.
     Siberian-born Stentzel has cooperated with many respectable and well-known brands，one of which is Hogar Verde，a bio-friendly laundry products brand in Ecuador.For them she has created the adorable clothing illusions?。ㄥe覺）　for a print ad campaign，which also drew attention to the endangered animals shown within，like dinosaurs，polar bears and so on.
     Stentzel's practice started from her childhood in Siberia，where she spent hours surveying her grandmother's carpet，woods and random objects for recognizable forms，including a pile of buckets looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
     In what seems a very simple gesture，Stentzel's works employ household items and turn them into surrealist images that uncover different reading layers.From food to clothes，the artist is inspired by everyday objects and gives them a second life through her creative and really poetic personal angle.
     "I stare at things longer than socially acceptable!It can be anything—a chair，a noodle hanging off the fork，a lamp post in the middle of the road.Observation is a form of thinking for me.I really enjoy studying colors，shapes and textures—with no expectation，simply admiring their unique beauty.Very often there's nothing more to it，but sometimes BOOM!—a creative idea hits my brain，and it makes a link between sliced bread and wrinkled skin of a French bulldog.It's very unpredictable，"Stentzel said.
  
  （1）How did Stentzel create an artwork according to paragraph2？

  
  A．By designing clothes on software.
  B．By painting animals in various colors.
  C．By taking photos of animals on the farm.
  D．By hanging clothes folded in animal shapes.
  （2）What is Stentzel's source of inspiration？

  
  A．Daily items.
  B．Tourist attractions.
  C．Random surveys.
  D．Childhood adventures.
  （3）Which of the following can best describe Stentzel's fine art prints？

  
  A．Complex and digital.

• 3．Could the next Ernest Hemingway or Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI software program？It's a question becoming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning software continues to evolve.
      Much of this is just nerves.Today's AI creative writing programs are not yet at a stage of development where they pose a serious threat to Colleen Hoover or Charles Dickens.But while attention continues to focus on the possibility of a blanket takeover of human literature by AI，far less consideration has been given to the prospect of AI co-working with humans.
      Earlier this month，American sci-fi writer Ken Liu，who had been awarded Hugo and Nebula to his name，joined 12 other professional authors for a writing workshop on Google's Wordcraft.This AI tool，a language generating model，is not yet publicly available but is advertised as an AI-powered writing assistant that can，when given the right instruction from the writer，provide helpful descriptions，create lists of objects or emotional states，and even brainstorm ideas.
      The writers at the workshop，however，emerged with mixed reports. "Wordcraft is too sensible.Wow!" Robin Sloan wrote. "But 'sensible' is another word for predictable，overused and boring.My intention here is to produce something unexpected."
      I'm unconvinced that writers awarded the Nobel Prize have much to fear from AI.Their work，and that of countless other novelists，short story writers，dramatists and poets，is too particular，too beautifully unique.Even if a model learned what they had done in the past，it would not be able to predict where their creativity might take them in the future.But for authors who write following a pattern，AI might step in，first as assistants before some day to authorship.
      Production-line novels are nothing new.In the 1970s，Barbara Cartland，who wrote more than 723 books in her lifetime，many of which are romance bestsellers，would read her novels for her secretary to type up at the remarkable rate of roughly seven chapters a week.But already machine has replaced the secretary's role.Perhaps creative writing software isn't that far from replacing the Mrs.Cartlands of today.
  
  （1）Which aspect of AI calls for more attention？

  
  A．Its damage to our nerves.
  B．Its progress in literary studies.
  C．Its cooperation with humans.
  D．Its influence on human literature.
  （2）What can we learn about Wordcraft from the text？

  
  A．It generates novels automatically.
  B．It outperforms professional writers.
  C．Its works receive praises from the public.
  D．Its works bear similarity to existing ones.
  （3）What can writers do to avoid the threat from AI？

  
  A．Increase writing speed.
  B．Use diverse resources.
  C．Produce creative works.
  D．Follow the latest patterns.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Will AI Replace Human Writers？
  B．AI Warns Mrs.Cartlands of Today
  C．Is Writing Running into a New Era？
  D．Word craft Lies at the Center of Debate

      I looked up from my desk to see the teacher writing on the board： "Battle of the Books!" She smiled and said， "This time it's a teamwork.You're going to be in teams of two，and set a reading goal.Every team that meets their goal by the end of the month will get a prize!" The lunch bell sounded before she could explain any more rules.
      As I gathered my things，Liya passed my desk and said， "Teammates？" Since Liya and I shared the same interest in graphic novel（漫畫小說），and we took Hindi language class together，we teamed up automatically.I was both relieved and excited to have my team.Then we got to the cafeteria and quickly threw out a bunch of ideas of what to do at our table.
      I looked to our third friend Kash，with whom the three of us always do stuff together， "Kash，do you have ideas for us？" "Why would I give you guys ideas？" he said gloomily（陰沉地）. "I'll save that for my team...whoever that is.Now I see how I rank in the friendship lineup." Kash replied in an angry tone.
      I knew he was mad for a reason.If I were him，not only would I think that I ranked last in that group，but I'd also be panicking about what team I could join.But now，I was on the inside and Kash wasn't.I felt like the only way to fix this would be three people on a team.So，as the teacher walked by our table，I asked for her permission.What surprised me was that she had intended to draw names to assign random groups，but didn't get a chance to say it before lunch.
      Awkward and frustrated，we were stuck in this dilemma.Having first teamed up without Kash didn't mean we didn't like him.I knew we—especially I—wouldn't be able to enjoy any prize if our friend felt bad about being left out.So，I decided to do something to make it up for him and convince Kash he was an equal friend.

      That night，I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic novel that all three of us liked.
