Will AI be good or bad for artists
As AI gets more involved (参与) in the world of art, people are asking.“ What's the relationship between AI and human artists ”
Giacomo Bruni from Ital y thinks AI and human artists are different. In his eyes, human artists are like filters(过滤器) of society. They just want to show beautiful things around them to the world. For them. less is more. But AI doesn't understand this. For AI, everything is the same. AI doesn't know what is more important and what is beautiful. So everything in AI- created art is flat.
But Sun Yuxin from China said that AI can be helpful for human artists. AI saves a lot of time for artists, and it helps them with a lot of basic(基本的) work. He also said that AI will not make human art disappear in the near future. That's because that design is created by people's mind and AI just helps us make it into the reality.
61. The question from the title has been clearly and exactly answered in the passage.
62. The underlined(划线的) sentence just means that human artists can decide what is good, but AI can't.
63. The underlined word flat in the passage possibly means boring.
64. In Sun Yuxin's opinion, AI can replace human artists to do all of the work.
65. In order to avoid some problems caused by AI, we have to prohibit(禁止)AI in our lives.九、阅读下面两篇短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。(共10小题， 每小题2分； 计20分)

“ How are you ” is a nice question. It's a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. However,“ How are you ” is also an unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you ” expects to hear the answer“ Fine”, even if the person isn't fine. The reason is that“ How are you ” isn't really a question and“ Fine” isn't really an answer. They are common ways of saying“ Hello” or“ Hi”.
Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks“ Do you agree ”, the other person may be thinking,“ No,I don't. I think you' re wrong.” It isn't polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say,“I am not so sure.” This is a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to others. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one says,“I' ve got to go now.” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as“ Someone is at the door.” The excuse may be real, or not. It means that he/ she doesn't want to talk anymore. An excuse is polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.
Whether they are greeting others, giving an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don't say exactly what they are thinking. This is one way of being friendly to people, and it's a part of the game of language.

In many people's eyes, plants are quiet and not active. For example, they can't talk. They can't walk. And they can't think like us.
Or can they The Green Planet, a new BBC documentary series(系列纪录片), gives us a new look at plants. After it came out on January 10, people can watch it on Bilibili. And it tells people about the wonderful and surprising ways that plants perform.
Plants fight against each other to live. In tropical rainforests, different kinds of plants fight for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a“ battlefield(战场)” in the series, since only two percent of the sunlight gets to it finally. Some plants like Monstera spread their big leaves to reach more sunlight. At the same time, they are caught up ina vine that tries to get a ride to go higher for sunlight. But a balsa tree grows faster than the other two plants, because it has slippery hairs (湿滑的茸毛) on its leaves which make it impossible for a vine to get a hold.
Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots (根) of some trees are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share the water with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil(土壤) as a way to“ talk” to each other. If a tomato plant gets a leaf illness, it can tell nearby plants about it so that they can keep away from the illness.
The series not only lets us feel surprised at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important.“ Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for all the food that we eat and the air that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the documentary. It's time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.

· the balsa tree— grows faster to get more sunlight because it can (8)_____ being caught up in a vine with its slippery hairs.
（2） Plants help and communicate with each other.
· In deserts some trees share water through the connected roots.

2. It reminds us of (10)_____.
