Japan's first fully AI-created comic, Cyberpunk: Peach John, was released on March 9 by Shinchosha, a major publishing house.
The comic is based on the futuristic imagination of the author, whose pen name is Rootport. It describes how the Japanese folk tale hero Momotaro, who is said to have been born from a giant peach, lives in a dystopian (反乌托邦的) future. All the fancy futuristic objects and creatures in the book, however, were conceived and created by Midjourney along with other popular online image-generation AI tools such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2.
Unlike traditional manga (日本漫画) which are usually black-and-white and short in length, Cyberpunk: Peach John comes in full color and spans more than 100 pages. A work of this scale would normally take over a year to complete by hand. However, with AI creation, it took him a surprisingly short period - only six weeks - to finish the whole work, Rootport told CNN.
Despite gaining widespread attention as the first fully AI-drawn manga in Japan, the work has also raised some questions and panic as well. According to Gulf News and CNN, some people are worried that AI technology will threaten jobs and copyright (版权) ownership in the nation's thriving comic book industry, as well as creativity and artistic value. One Twitter user described the project as "an absolute shame to manga and mangaka (manga artists) everywhere." Another wrote: "Odd to publish a manga by AI when your country (has) some of the most talented artists in existence."
But Rootport has insisted that his comic book should be considered a work of art. "AI cannot yet create a perfect work on its own. Human assistance is essential," he told CNN.
(1)、What does the underlined word "conceived" in paragraph 2 mean?A、designed. B、introduced. C、changed. D、mentioned.(2)、What do we know about the AI Creation manga?A、It has two colors. B、It gains little attention. C、It takes less time to finish. D、It is praised by many people.(3)、What does Rootport want to convey in the last paragraph?A、Human can not create a perfect work without AI. B、AI technology can take the place of human beings. C、Human's favor is necessary to create a perfect AI work. D、The comic book should be finished by AI dependently.(4)、What is the suitable title of this passage?A、AI Comic Book Is Well Received in Japan B、AI Comic Book Gains Widespread Attention C、AI Comic Book Changes The Comic Industry D、AI Brings Benefits and Concerns to Comic Industry -

On a summer day in 2019, Raj Patel and his friend Sally Blake walked past a pool. It was filled with smelly algae (水藻), making it hard for workers to clean up. So the two 17-year-old students from Chicago decided to create a robot to deal with this problem. On Aug 19 , the 18th Science and Environment Invention Award was announced. Patel and Blake's invention of a water surface cleaning robot received the Gold Award.
It took them about four years to finish the robot. The robot moves like a boat and can be controlled from far away on the waterside. To collect garbage, the robot has two plates as "hands". Then a conveyor belt is used for sending the garbage to a basket. "There is also a heating sheet under the belt to help dry the garbage and make it easy to deal with," said Patel.
Compared to other robots of its kind, their robot is small, light and eco-friendly. "It has a solar panel (太阳能电池板) set on top," said Blake.
The journey to build their robot was full of difficulties. But they worked hard to deal with these problems. One challenge was the balance of the boat. "It used to be heavy and easy to turn over. On the advice of our teacher, we changed the top part from steel to alloy (合金) to make it lighter," said Patel.
As for their next step, they hope to make the robot work on its own. "We will continue to learn programming skills to make our dreams come true," said Blake.
(1)、What inspired the invention of the cleaning robot?A、The desire to win an award. B、The difficulty of cleaning smelly algae. C、The passion for cleaning robots. D、The terrible situation of the pool.(2)、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A、The robot's benefit. B、The robot's influence. C、The robot's development. D、The robot's working principle.(3)、How is the cleaning robot different from other robots of its kind?A、It uses the boats. B、It owns a solar panel. C、It can work on its own. D、It changes some metals.(4)、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A、Environment. B、Economy. C、Society. D、Entertainment. -
3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my home town of Hornsea, East Yorkshire, and I began spending my pocket money on records. I was just 12, and fell immediately in love with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I dreamed of playing that music myself.
I left school at 16 and managed to get into the Royal Academy of Arts. I continued to play piano all my life, working as a concert pianist and a professional portrait painter. In my 30s, I visited Thailand for a few months, where I met my wife. We married in 1996, and I've been in Thailand ever since.
For my 50th birthday, my wife persuaded the manager of Elephants World to allow us to bring a piano into the sanctuary(庇护所). These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself.
When I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants eating grass. Elephants are almost always hungry – if they get the opportunity, they'll eat and they won't stop. But as soon as I started playing, one elephant, who was blind, stopped eating and listened. We realised that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, loved music. From that day, there was never any concern about disturbing their peace, and that was the beginning of it all. We occasionally film the performances and now have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run free in the sanctuary, though I could be killed at any moment. It seems to be the male elephants, the ones who are moody and dangerous, that listen to the music the most. The music somehow calms them.
(1)、What caused the author's passion for music?A、His dream of being a professional. B、His experience of meeting his wife. C、His fascination with Beethoven's music. D、His learning in the Royal Academy of Arts.(2)、What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?A、He was good at playing the piano. B、He was not fond of blind elephants. C、He got along well with the manager. D、He was sympathetic to those elephants.(3)、How do elephants react to the author's music?A、They stop standing. B、They become quiet. C、They begin to run free. D、They start performing.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、The author's journey with his wife. B、Challenges of playing music for elephants. C、The author's playing the piano for saved elephants. D、The author's unforgettable experiences in Thailand. -

15、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the heart of a small village located near a thick bamboo forest in China, there lived a young girl named Lin. Lin lived with her grandmother in a small house that her grandfather had built with loving care before he passed away. Unluckily, Lin's grandfather died before she was born. Lin never met her grandfather, but the stories her grandmother shared painted a picture of a man who was deeply loved and respected by the community.
Every day, Lin felt a great curiosity about the grandfather she had never seen but always felt close to. Her home, filled with his books and the very walls he built, stood as a living example of his hobbies and craftsmanship(手艺). The villagers often shared tales of her grandfather's good deeds(行为), and they showed deep respect and support for Lin and her grandmother. This deep connection to a man she had never known filled Lin with a mix of sadness for never having met him and pride for being his granddaughter. Driven by a desire to feel closer to her grandfather, Lin often explored the house and its surroundings, hoping to find something he had left behind—something that might deepen her understanding of the man who she had never met.
One autumn morning, while Lin was helping her grandmother clean the attic(阁楼), she found a beautifully carved wooden box hidden under a dust y floorboard. The box was locked, but to her surprise, she discovered a small note hidden in a crack of the box. It was written in lovely handwriting and said, "To my dear granddaughter, inside this box, you will find treasures of my heart, saved just for you."
Lin's fingers shook with expectation as she showed the note to her grandmother, who then handed her a small, old key. "Your grandfather wanted you to find this when you were old enough to understand the depth of his love," her grandmother said, her eyes shining with tears.
注意:
1)续写词数应为150个左右;

How to gain happiness? Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher(哲学家), believed that happiness is achieved through the development of certain virtues, stressing a balanced lifestyle. .
Balancing Personal Strengths and Relationships

Grace combines a sense of humor with the seriousness required in certain situations, helping to keep a pleasant and supportive presence around others.

20、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
At some point, something will have to be done about the stuffed toys(毛绒玩具). I haven't counted them because, truthfully, I'm not prepared to know how many there are. Lately, our neighborhood's message boards are filled with posts about parents trying to make space, to clear out the things their kids no longer need. The tone of some of these posts can best be described as "emergency". "Help!" they sometimes begin. "I have to get this out of my house."
"The proliferation(激增)of children's toys is the outcome of a long, gradual cultural change," says Gary Cross, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. To understand how we got here—drowning(淹没于)in all those stuffed toys and bricks—it helps to look as far back as the late 19th century. "Parents were no longer passing their jobs on to the children," Cross says. "Instead, they connect across generations through the gifting process. From the early 20th century on, goods became the things that define relationships between family members, and the way of marking success as a family."
Then, how can parents deal with the proliferation of children's toys at home? Naeemah Ford Goldson, a professional organizer, is also a mom of two. In her own home, Goldson likes to include her kids in the work of sorting out their toys. They know that the items they don't need anymore will be given to people who can use them, to families who might not be as fortunate as theirs. "Doing so helps them build those habits of letting go," she says, "so then they don't become adults who are too dependent on material things instead of experiences, or people, and the memories we make with people."
Her idea made sense. She told her 5-year-old they should pick some to give to kids in their community who came from another country and had to leave their toys behind. She immediately took a pink bear from the pile.
(1)、Why does the author present the posts in paragraph 1?A、To show the popularity of children's toys. B、To offer suggestions about choosing children's toys. C、To praise the role of social media in buying children's toys. D、To introduce the influence too many children's toys bring about.(2)、What has caused the huge increase of children's toys according to Cross?A、Children's demands. B、The growth of technology. C、The traditions in the 18th century. D、The practice of gifting among family members.(3)、What does Goldson do to avoid too many toys?A、Involve her kids in organizing toys. B、Put away toys for her kids. C、Buy her kids fewer toys. D、Sell unwanted toys to neighbors.(4)、Which is the most suitable title for the text?A、The Rise of Toy Stores in Neighborhoods B、The Importance of Choosing Proper Gifts C、The Challenge of Managing Children's Toys D、The Joy of Collecting Children's Toys
