By the late 1960s,abstract painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important
festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge.“Maybe there are more
interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought.Cohen turned from
the canvas(画布) to the screen,using computers to find new ways of creating art.In the late
1960s,he created a program that he named Aaron.It was the first artificial intelligence
software in the world of fine art,and Cohen first presented Aaron in 1974 at the University of
California,Berkeley.Aaron’s work has since graced museums from the Tate Gallery in
London to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
With AI dominating the headlines,a new exhibition at New York’s Whitney Museum of
American Art,“Harold Cohen:Aaron”,running through June 2024,drew attention to Cohen’s
pioneering work.The Whitney offered something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits:a
real-time experience,in which visitors could watch the software produce art.

【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
Cohen seeded Aaron with all sorts of knowledge:about basic objects,physics,and
fundamental techniques of drawing.Aaron uses this knowledge to follow
instructions,complete tasks,and make decisions like human beings—a very different approach
from today’s generative AI art programs,which don’t draw from scratch(从头开始) but rather
rely on databases of images.Versions of Aaron still generate output,but anything done after
Cohen’s death in 2016 is not considered genuine.
The Whitney is showcasing two versions of Cohen’s software,along with the art that
each produced before Cohen died.The 2001 version,Aaron KCAT,generates images of
figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high,while the 2007
version produces jungle-like scenes.The software will also create art physically,on paper,for
the first time since the 1990s.“It is absolutely thrilling,” said Christiane Paul,the museum’s
director of digital art,“to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the
collection.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了抽象画家哈罗德·科恩利用计算机程

Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate and punish
researchers who engage in academic cheating,including paying to have their names added to
a paper.
The move comes as Peru’s national science agency seeks to crack down on authorship
buying and other dishonest practices.It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest
publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor,job
promotions,and salary bonuses.And officials are investigating more than 170 other
researchers that a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic
misconduct,including 72 listed in the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru.
The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such
behavior.Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they
enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth,says
Edward Málaga Trillo,a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills,which
lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year.“These individuals are operating academic
cheating.”
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship
and related problems.One cause,some researchers say,is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate
research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output.For example,under a
scoring system used by universities,researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-
impact journal,and two points when the journal is lower impact.The massing points can bring
bonus payments and career promotion.
Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious,notes Nahuel Monteblanco,president of
Cientificos.pe,a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct.Many of the papers cited by
Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on
the same subject.“If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors
from other countries,that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍秘鲁准备通过新的法律,以便更容易地调
查和惩罚进行学术作弊的研究人员并解释作弊的原因和现象等。
8.What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating?
A.Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty.
B.Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry.
C.Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct.
D.Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It recently removed two scientists...and salary
bonuses.”可知,秘鲁最近从国家注册中心取消2 名科学家的资格来解决学术作弊问题。
9.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “transcend” in paragraph 3?
A.Change.
B.Strengthen.
C.Go beyond.
D.Approve of.
答案 C
解析 词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“because they enable researchers...individuals are
operating academic cheating”可推断,上文意思是国会议员Edward Málaga Trillo 说,不诚
实的出版行为“超越了单纯的道德不端行为”,所以transcend 意为“超越”,和“Go
beyond”同义。
10.What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru?
A.It advocated a fair scoring system.
B.It applied to high-impact journals.
C.It led to an increase in false authorship.
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
D.It aimed to punish dishonest publishing.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“One cause,some researchers say...payments and
career promotion.”可知,研究人员会想办法提高论文的发表量,这样就会导致虚假作者的
数量增加。
11.What might the most suspicion be given to a productive researcher with?
A.Career promotion.
B.Consistent research focus.
C.Few citations by Punto Final.
D.Co-authors from various countries.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many of the papers...Monteblanco says.” 可知,最值
得怀疑的可能是拥有来自不同国家的合著者。

Rich variety exists in primates(灵长目动物).Monkeys roll on snowy Japanese
mountains,gorillas chew fruit on Sumatra,lemurs jump between trees in Madagascar,and the
naked apes—humans—walk proudly on two legs worldwide.Scientists can now study the
DNA differences beyond that diversity,thanks to a databank of genomes(基因组) from 233
species.
To understand the good and bad of human evolution—both our extraordinary
adaptations and disease-causing changes—scientists must compare the genomes of Homo
sapiens(智人) to our closest evolutionary relatives,the primates.But researchers investigating
diverse topics,from contemporary genetic diseases to human origins,have long faced a
roadblock when pursuing this approach:While genomic data exists from millions of
people,most of the 500-plus primate species never had their genomes read.So,in 2019,Tomàs
Marquès-Bonet at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology,in Barcelona,Spain,and other
biologists teamed up with disease researchers at the company Illumina,determined to obtain
as many primate genomes as possible.
Navigating wilderness and local permitting laws,the international researchers obtained
hundreds of blood samples from wild and caged animals in South America,Africa,and
Asia.Arranging DNA from these samples and adding data from previous studies,the team
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
built a bank of 809 genomes from individual baboons,gorillas,gibbons,and more,representing
nearly half the known primate species.
The data revealed insights about human origins and health,as well as primate
conservation,published by more than 100 scientists across 10 papers in Science and Science
Advances in June 2023.One study trained artificial intelligence to search human genomes for
DNA differences likely to cause disease,based on whether nonhuman primates can live with
those variants.According to Marquès-Bonet,“We now have a really good list of the
foundations of our species” and a “good idea of the kind of variations that are tolerated in any
primate”—including humans.

(2024 山东潍坊二模)
It was dinner time,yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day.Cheery people who were
enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me.But with my head down and headphones in,I
had interacted with very few of them.The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than
something that I actually fully experienced.
16
This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle.I had left my corporate role and
found freelance(自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel.
17
With enthusiasm,I expected my attitude would also change.Instead,the first surprising
realization of my travel journey had hit:despite changing my formal suits to casuals,I was the
exact same person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly,surfing online about digital nomadism.
18
While you
might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle,unrealistic expectations are the
death blow that I hear about most often.After six years abroad,realism is now the primary
message I share.
19
Instead of an office room,you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the
Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh.Instead of waiting at the coffee
machine next to complaining colleagues,your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty
cobblestone streets into tiny cafes.These dreams exist and are waiting for you once you clear
customs.
But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads.
20
At-home life and life on
the road can at times feel shockingly similar,or,if bad work habits take over,even worse.It’s
an important expectation to understand before you set out on your digital nomad
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
lifestyle:your surroundings will change,but you take you everywhere that you go.No matter
how ultra-light you pack.
A.And my surroundings looked different.
B.But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C.This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D.New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E.Should you choose to become a digital nomad,your environment will change.
F.You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G.Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.
答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了作者作为一名数字游民的生活经历。
作者原本以为改变工作环境和生活方式会让自己焕然一新,但他很快意识到,尽管外在环
境变了,自己还是那个自己,工作习惯和态度并没有因为环境的改变而改变。
16.B 根据空前内容以及第二段首句可知,此处描述的是作者过数字游民一周的生活情
况。B 项中的this 指代的是作者经历的一周数字游民生活,与朝九晚五的生活是不同的,
该选项符合语境。
17.A 根据上下文可知,自从作者离开了公司成为自由撰稿人之后,其周围的环境发生了
变化,同时作者期待着自己的态度也发生变化,此处的also 与设空处发生的变化形成并列。
A 项指出作者成为自由撰稿人之后,周围环境发生了变化,与下文形成呼应,符合语境。
18.G 根据上下文可知,作者已经兴奋地做好了过数字游民生活的准备,可是实际生活中
不切实际的期望打败了作者,作者对现实生活没有充分的准备和认知。G 项与上文构成
转折关系,指出虽然作者做好了准备,可是作者却对现实中的消费准备不足,因此作者最
终被不切实际的期望打败了。该选项符合语境,承接上下文。
19.E 根据下文可知,此处描述的是成为数字游民后的环境所发生的具体的改变。E 项
引起下文,指出如果选择成为数字游民环境将会发生改变。
20.F 根据上文“But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads.”可知,成为新数
字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外,这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部,下
文应该指出还有其他的内容。F 项指成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生
变化之外,收件箱里依旧还有邮件和待办事项等着你去处理,这些也是新数字游民生活所
应期待的一部分,该选项符合语境。
