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 late1960s,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.Aarons work has since graced museums from the Tate Gallery in London to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.Now,with Al dominating the headlines,a new exhibition at New Yorks Whitney Museum of American Art,“Harold Cohen:Aaron,”running through June 2024,draws attention to Cohens pioneering work,The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits:a real-time experience,in which visitors can watch the software produce art.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 todays generative AI art programs,which dont draw from scratch(从头开始)but rather rely on databases of images.Versions of Aaron still generate output,but anything done after Cohens death in 2016is not considered genuine.The Whitney is showcasing two versions of Cohens 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 museums director of digital art,“to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.24.What was Aaron born out of?A.Harolds curiosity.B.The museums donation.C.Cohens imagination.D.The universitys support.25.What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs?A.Its ability to assign tasks.B.Its use of modern techniques.C.Its capability to make choices.D.Its dependence on existing database.26.What can visitors do in the“Harold Cohen:Aaron”exhibition?A.See the original 1960s version of Aaron.B.Generate images with the help of Aaron.C.Learn about the physical rules in art.D.Observe Aaron creating art on the spot.27.What is the text mainly about?A.The masterpieces of digital art.B.A new show of the art worlds first Al.C.The latest technologies in the Whitney.D.Harold Cohens impact on generative Al.CPeru 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 Perus 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 on 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 Malaga 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.Perus academic 4/7学科网（北京）股份有限公司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.A 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,thats highly suspect,Monteblanco says.28.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.29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to“transcend in paragraph 3?A.Change.B.Strengthen.C.Go beyond.D.Approve of.30.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 D.It aimed to punish dishonest publishing.31.The most suspicion might 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 countriesDEvolution(进 化)can perform extraordinary makeovers:todays airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless,earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago.But some organisms seem to be unchanged-in other words,escape natural selection.The coelacanth,a modern-day fish,is nearly identical to its 410-million-year-old fossils.Scientists have long wondered how these species do so.It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities(stabilizing selection)rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change(directional selection).But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA contradicts this idea,showing that evolution constantly favors different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals to improve short-term survival.In the long term,though,“all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change,”says the studys lead author,James Stroud.Stroud and his colleagues studied four lizard(蜥 蜴)species,all relatively unchanged for20 million years.The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years.They measured each lizards head size,leg length,mass and height,as well as the size of its sticky toes(脚趾头),noting which individuals survived.Stroud expected to observe stabilizing selection at work preserving moderate qualities.Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection:some lizards with unique characteristics,such as stickier toes,survived better.The study offers“a good explanation for why we see what we think is stabilizing selection,”says Tadashi Fukami,an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University.Many new qualities are evolving in the short term,but they dont provide a crucial advantage over the long term.In other words,species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment.So what happens when the lizards environment changes more dramatically?To help answer this bigger question,Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards32.Why does the author mention the“coelacanth fish”in paragraph 1?A.To demonstrate the power of evolution.B.To add evidence to natural selection.C.To give an example of unchanged species.D.To prove species extraordinary makeovers.33.Whats the focus of paragraph 2?A.Unsolved mysteries.B.A common belief.C.A sharp contrast.D.Unique Characteristics.34.How did Stroud conduct his research?A.By analyzing lizard fossils.B.By tracking research objects.C.By illustrating stabilizing selection.D.By categorizing qualities of lizards35.What will Stroud probably do in the future?5/7学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.Make trips to visit lizard experts.B.Summarize average features of lizards,C.Reveal the best combinations of qualities,D.Examine lizards under extreme conditions.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to charge an electric vehicle(EV)is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them,It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky.36 .First,download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations,how powerful they are,and whether theyre working.All this is vital information because,even if you have public charging points nearby,you will need alternatives in case they are in use.37 .A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and driveways toother local EV drivers when theyre not using them.38.Thus,your car gets charged,the owners make money,and emissions are reduced.39 .For example,when your car is running out of juice,youd just pull up to a battery change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in,The Chinese EV brand Nio does this,but isnt available in the UK as yet.For now,if charging access remains difficult for you,its still possible to go electric-in part.40 .Many hybrid(混合的)cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine.So,if most of your driving is local,you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week,while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys.A.But it may be easier than you thinkB.It actually worked out much cheaperC.There are also other innovative ways to get your EV goingD.A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller batteryE.A“fast”charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EVF.So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest
