Recently，there have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence （AI） programs that create art.The programs，which create artworks based on short descriptions，have amazed many people.They have also raised difficult questions. The AI tools are entertaining and powerful.They allow people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine，even if they aren't artists.For some creative workers，like those at companies that create ads or images，the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas. These new AI art tools are all trained in similar ways — using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions.The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots.Step by step，they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description.These AI programs can make strange mistakes.But with the right description，the tools are able to create images of just about anything in just about any style. Many artists say they're now competing against computers for attention，prizes and jobs.It's hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography that have ever appeared on the Internet.In August，an artwork created with AI tools won first prize at the Colorado State Fair. The images and the descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet.Because of this，the tools can produce images that aren't appropriate.Perhaps more importantly，the creators of the training pictures — the artists，the photographers，and even the people in the pictures — haven't given permission for their images to be used.That has raised questions about whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal. This is an area where the law isn't clear.Some people are starting to think about the legal problems the artworks could bring.A few websites and businesses，such as Getty Images，have said they will no longer accept work created by using these AI tools.（1）What does paragraph 3 focus on？ ____ A.How useful AI art tools are.B.How AI art tools correct mistakes.C.How AI art tools create images.D.How AI art tools explore new ideas.（2）How may many artists feel about the AI art tools？ ____ A.Upset.B.Excited.C.Amazed.D.Curious.（3）Which of the following is a disadvantage of the AI art tools？ ____ A.They are difficult to train.B.They often make mistakes.C.They may break some laws.D.They are too expensive.（4）Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage？ ____ A.The Rapid Development of AI TechnologyB.The Use of AI in Art：Benefits and ShortcomingsC.How AI Art Tools Create Amazing ArtworksD.The Legal Problems Caused by AI Art

题目解答
答案
（1）段落大意题。根据第三段These new AI art tools are all trained in similar ways — using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions.The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots.Step by step，they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description （这些新型人工智能艺术工具的训练方式相似——都会利用海量配有对应描述的图片。程序会先以随机的点阵图案开始创作新图像，然后逐步利用训练所得调整图案，直到图像的部分内容与描述相匹配）可知，该段重点介绍的是人工智能艺术工具创作图像的过程和方式。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段Many artists say they're now competing against computers for attention，prizes and jobs.It's hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography that have ever appeared on the Internet （许多艺术家表示，他们如今要和计算机争夺关注度、奖项和工作机会。一位艺术家很难与互联网上出现过的所有艺术作品和摄影作品相抗衡）可知，人工智能艺术工具的出现给艺术家带来了竞争压力，由此可推断他们会感到沮丧。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据第五段Perhaps more importantly，the creators of the training pictures — the artists，the photographers，and even the people in the pictures — haven't given permission for their images to be used.That has raised questions about whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal （或许更重要的是，训练素材图片的创作者们——包括艺术家、摄影师，甚至是图片中的人物——并未许可他人使用这些图像。这引发了关于这些工具的行为是否公平合法的质疑）以及第六段This is an area where the law isn't clear （这是一个法律界定尚不明确的领域）可知，人工智能艺术工具的一个弊端是其训练素材的使用可能存在法律问题，甚至触犯法律。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。文章围绕人工智能艺术创作工具展开，介绍了这类工具的强大功能和工作原理，同时指出其给艺术家带来的竞争压力，以及在训练素材版权、法律合规性等方面存在的争议与问题。选项B"人工智能在艺术中的应用：利与弊"符合主题，适合用作标题。故选B。
