A
This year, many kids’ movies have come out. With so many great ones to choose from, we’ve picked three of
them for you. Let’s take a look together!
Release Date: Feb 2, 2024
Orion has a great many fears—but he’s especially afraid of the dark. So
Orion you can imagine his surprise when an embodiment (化身) of the dark shows up
to take him on an adventure to show him there’s nothing to be afraid of. The
Netflix movie is based on a book by Emma Yarlett, but the script (剧本) was
written by someone who knows a thing or two about writing movies about
anxieties (焦虑): Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind Being John Malkovich.
and the Dark《奥利安与黑
暗》
Release Date: May 31, 2024
This film, based on the comic by Sara Varon, received an Oscar nomination (

an anthropomorphic (拟人化的) dog who, to help with feeling lonely, orders a
robot to be his friend. The lack (缺少) of words and overall sadness give the
impression that it’s not exactly aimed at (以……为目标) kids, but the older ones
might get into it.
Dreams
《机器人之梦》Release Date: Dec 20, 2024
Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-nominated director of Moonlight, directs a prequel
Mufasa: (前传) to The Lion King about Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre) and his
relationship with Scar (Kelvin Harrison, Jr). Don’t expect 2D animation similar
to the original, though: This one will be done in a realistic-looking CGI (电脑
成像技术) style, similar to the 2019 remake of The Lion King, and Seth Rogen
and Billy Eichner even reprise (重新出演) their roles as Timon and Pumbaa.
The Lion King《木法沙：狮
子王》

Some pictures made by AI (人工智能) look really fantastic. But do you think they can win a prize in a big art
show? That’s exactly what happened in real life when Jason Michael Allen used an AI program named Midjourney
to create a picture called Theatre D’opera Spatia (French for “Space Opera Theater”) and won a prize in the 2023
Colorado State Fair’s art competition.
However, many artists were unhappy about the news. They said it was just a picture generated (生成) by AI
and there would be no way for a robot to take home the prize! Some even said Mr. Allen, the man behind this work,
was cheating (作弊) in the competition as he used an AI program to create this work. They wondered why anyone
would pay money for pictures if anyone could just make them with AI.
Mr. Allen replied that his work was always under the name “Jason M. Allen via Midjourney” and that it was
created with AI, but he never lied to anyone about where this work came from. “________” he said. “I won, and I
didn’t break any rules.”
Some artists agreed with Mr. Allen and spoke for him, saying that using AI to create an art piece was nodifferent from using nice paints or special brushes. It would still take a person’s imagination and creativity to come
up with a cool idea for a picture.
But some other artists still showed their worries. What if robots take all the art jobs in the future? Who will
buy their paintings then?
Mr. Allen said he understood the worries of the artists who were afraid to lose their jobs to AI painting tools,
but they shouldn’t be upset at the artists who use Midjourney to make art. Instead, what they should be angry at
should be the companies (公司) that use AI painting tools to take the place of human artists. “The problem isn’t in
the technology (技术). It’s in the people.” he added.
28．Where are you most likely to read this passage?
A．In a dictionary. B．In an email. C．In a novel. D．In a newspaper.
29．Which should be put in ________?
A．I’m not going to say sorry. B．I think I can do better next time.
C．I want to share the prize with all of you. D．I’m terribly sorry and I won’t do it again.
30．What is the best title of the passage?
A．A study about AI painting tools
B．Theatre D’opera Spatia, a Great Work by AI
C．An AI-generated Picture Won. Cheating or Not?
D．Midjourney, A Great Helper in Creating Art Work
31．How does Allen feel about the artists who are afraid to lose jobs to AI?
A．He agrees with their ideas. B．He made no comment (评论).
C．He doesn’t care about their ideas at all. D．He understands but disagrees with them.

Every year before the Spring Festival, Zang Chaiyuan, a 26-year-old pastry chef (面点师) from Shandong,
works from morning to night. People across China order her huabobo, a kind of colorful flower-shaped steamed
bun (馒头).
Zang can make buns in many different shapes such as cute rabbits and lucky bags. “My huabobo is made of
milk, egg, sugar and flour (面粉).” she said. “All the colors are from something natural such as spinach (菠菜) for
the color green and pumpkin for orange.” she added.

decision, she stood her ground. “There’s a great need for huabobo. It’s always on the people’s table when theycelebrate the birthdays of children and the elders. Also, people always make a lot of huabobo to prepare for the Spring
Festival. It’s a symbol of good luck and shows people’s hope for a better life. Huabobo not only has a pretty shape,

she figured out the best ways of making huabobo.
Now, Zhang brings out huabobo in new shapes from time to time. Her products have made their way to
customers (顾客) from many cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou.
To help more people learn about huabobo, she hosts online and offline pastry classes. Now, millions of people

turning to the past for their clothes choices and putting on traditional “hanfu”.
As the development of traditional culture, hanfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers. Every
year, we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities. These shows bring us back to Han Dynasty. We learn
more about the history, culture and beauty from them.
Hanfu hasn’t been in the same style since Han Dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in
common. They all have large soft robes (袍子), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can’t be
seen.
In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.
“Clothes are an important part of culture, so both the traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same rolein culture,” said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. “If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional
clothes or don’t wear them, how can we talk about other important parts of our culture?”
