The show is at the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles. It is called Lightscapes. The works show scenes of mountai
10、ns, rivers and sometimes waterfalls. Chinese artists have been creating the brush and ink works for more than 1,000 years.Artists Nick Dong and Chi-Tsung Wu found ways to connect the new, digital generation to this traditional form of art. Their works get the essence (本质) of the style in a new way.
11、The exhibit forces the viewers to slow down and experience a different world. That was also one of the goals of shan shui hua artists from long ago.Dong said, “Actually, all these artists want to create a world where they can hide themselves. And the world can help them avoid or escape from the real
12、ity. So, they create a mountain and imagine they could live there.”One of the works involves a slowly moving light directed at clear plastic boxes on a wall. The piece, created by Wu, is called Crystal City. Wu said, “If we see this through the light, from a different perspective, we could see there
13、s another world behind that.” That other world Wu noted is the shadows that look more solid than the plastic boxes. Wu said Crystal City is the representative of the modem digital age.To view Dongs representation of Heaven, one has to step into a room filled with mirrors from floor to ceiling. There
14、 is a small round seat in the middle of the room. Dong said, “Once youve entered the installation (装置), at first youll see a lot of your reflections. But once you sit down, you touch off the mechanism (机关) of the room. The mirrors actually start to reflect, and you yourself will disappear within the
15、 space.”4. Whats the main characteristic of the new exhibit?A. It shows the beauty of nature.B. It puts ancient Chinese art works on show.C. It enjoys advantages in terms of technology.D.

It is Wus most famous work.B. Light and shadows are parts of it.C. It shows the complexity of plastic boxes.
17、D. Advanced tools are needed to appreciate it.7. What is the main idea of the text?A. Artists have modernized shan shui hua.B. Lots of artists are attracted by shan shui hua.C.

18、e hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI (人工智能) experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to.Tristan Mille
19、r studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But
20、a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look f
21、or patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay dose to a pattern, kit not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This sets a great obstacle for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.Bishop says since robots have great d
22、ifficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldnt be replaced by a machine, she added.Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt Univer
23、sitys Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI syste
24、ms humor may make them find it where it isnt, and they may use it where its inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.8. What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1?A. Robots influence on the scientific develop
25、ment.B. Robots challenges of making sense of humor.C. Computer scientists devotion to technical skills.D. Computer scientists concern about AIs development.9.

It will attract more computer scientists.DWith production overrunning (泛滥) on Martin Scorseses new film, the famous Hollywood director admitted this month he was worried about the “youthi-fication” technology
28、he was employing to smooth out his actors. The leading actor Robert De Niro and Al Pacino played young versions of their characters in the first half of the film, with their wrinkles and jowls (下巴) removed by the technology.Speaking to the British director Joanna Hogg, the film-maker Martin Scorsese
29、 said that good actors should meet some necessary requirements: excellent acting skills, rich imagination, good understanding and so on. However, there was something important that was missing while the technique was used. He added, “I dont know how to instruct my actors to make their performance mo
30、re impressive, especially rich eye expressions. Apparently, the technique makes their eyes dull, which disappoints me the most.”In this case, he isnt alone. While the technology is doubtless impressive, there have been complaints about the “unnatural valley” effect of digitally de-ageing actors. Fil
31、m critics (评论家), such as Manohla Dargis of the New York Times, and The Ringers Andrew Gruttadaro, observed that “as an audience member watching these films, you get the horrible feeling that youre not watching a person, but an entity (实体) imitating a person”. Similar reservations have been heard abo

The problem is that everybody who grew up with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air knows what Will Smith looked like as a younger man, and it wasnt this one.To quote Dr Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, “Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, and
