第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）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。
A
Machines might one day replace human laborers in a number of professions,but surely they won't ever replace human artists.Right?
Think again.Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable machine takeover,if a new development in artificial intelligence by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebook's A．I.lab offers a clue of what's to come.They have designed an A．I.capable of not only producing art,but actually inventing whole new aesthetic styles similar to movements like impressionism or abstract expressionism,reports.The idea,according to researcher Marian Mazzone,was to make art that is "novel,but not too novel."
The model used in this project involved a generator network,which produces the images,and a discriminator network,which "judges" whether it's art.Once the generator learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art,it's given an additional directive: to produce art that doesn't match any known aesthetic styles.
"You want to have something really creative and striking—but at the same time not go too far and make something that isn't aesthetically（美学地）pleasing,"explained Ahmed Elgammal.
The art that was generated by the system was then presented to human judges alongside human-produced art without showing which was which.To the researchers' surprise,the machine-made art scored slightly higher overall than the human-produced art.
Of course,machines can't yet replace the meaning that's infused in works by human artists,but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem duplicatable by machines.
What will it take for machines to produce content that's infused with meaning?That might be the last A．I. frontier.Human artists can at least hang their hats in that field...for now.
"Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask,‘Who is that by?’And you say,‘Well,it's a machine actually’.That would be an interesting conversation starter,"said Kevin Walker.
1、What is implied in the first paragraph?
A．Artists won't be replaced by AI.
B．AI can produce new styles of art.
C．AI is totally at a loss about impressionism.
D．AI fails to reflect abstract expressionism.
2、What did Marian find in his study?
A．AI can copy the skills of artists.
B．AI can combine content with meaning.
C．AI can make art aesthetically unpleasant.
D．AI can please human judges with its art.
3、What does the underlined phrase “hang their hats” mean?
A．Discover. B．Hold.
C．Struggle. D．Survive.
4、What Kevin said in the last paragraph tells us that_____.
A．she uses machines to cook for a party B．she likes to join in a dinner party
C．she expects the arrival of AI D．she cares about the starter of a chat

B
These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.
The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track
of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.
Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.
More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.
If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.
The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.
1、What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?
A．He made friends with reporters.
B．He reported on tennis matches.
C．He appreciated the beautiful scenery.
D．He exchanged experiences with tennis players.
2、What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?
A．It lacks fun. B．It is expensive
C．It is not convenient. D．It is not quick enough
3、Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?
A．To compare popular foods.
B．To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.
C．To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.
D．To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.
4、What difference does the new roof make?
A．Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.
B．There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.
C．Reporters are struggling to find original material.
D．rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.
