Dear Miss Hanff,
You will be glad to know that the two boxes of eggs and the tins of tongue have all arrived safely and once again we all wish to thank you most sincerely for your extreme generosity. Mr. Martin,one of the older members of our staff, haa been on the sick list for some time and we therefore let him have the lion’s share of the eggs, one whole boxful in fact, and of course he was delighted to get them. The tins of tongue look very inviting and will be a welcome addition to our larders (食物橱) and in my case will be put on one side for a special occasion.
I enquired at all the local music shops but was unable to get the Messiah or Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in stiff covers in clean, secondhand copies, and then I found they were available from the publisher in new editions.

Our invoice,total $4.20, is enclosed with the books.
We are sending you a little gift for Christmas. We do hope you will not have to pay any duty on it. We will mark it “Christmas Gift” and keep our fingers crossed. Anyway,we hope you will like it and accept it with our sincere best wishes for Christmas and the coming year.

Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci ... the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list although this one
isn't even human.
Next month, auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Bela- my,and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000.
The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "grotesque and amazing at the same time". This isn’t the first example of Al-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose .songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.
According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828 -1910),art is about creating emotion (情感). It's “a means of …joining people together in the same feelings' he once said.
So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it,the ability to create and use tools is what makes human Icings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.
“The human mind is what's behind the AI technolagy. And the human mind is no! a cold, hard fact,” said Oscar Schwartz, a profrssor of AI. “Rather, it in something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over
28. Why does the author mention the artists in Puragraph 1?
A. To intruduce their works. B. To make an advertisement.
C. To present a piece of news. D. To focus the topic on the AI.
29. What does the underlined would “grotesque” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strange. B. Simple.
C. Messy. D. Undrrstandable.
30. What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?
A. It comes from human works.
B. It shows human abilily to creute.
C. It expresses human feeling effectively.
D. It is beyond the imagination of humans.
31. Compared with the AI, Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind its.
A.limited B. decisive C. changrable D. meaningful
D
A team of engineers at Harvard Universty in trying to create the first robotic fly. Desgned to do what a fly dos naturally, the tiny is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
"The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own/’ said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies (相互依赖)on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it d connected to,” said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform daia-gathering work at rescue sites,in farmers fields or on the battlefield. "Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animal,but using these robots instead he said. "So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives ua on a day-to-day basis.”
32. What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?
A. It's automatic. B. It's very small.
C. It's controllable. D. It's quite powerful.
33. We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can .
A. act as a spy plane B. help do farm work
C. fly at a very high speed D. answer many scientific questions
34. What is Wood's ider about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?
A. It is highly questionable.
B. It has wide practical applications.
C. It gives scientists interest in flying machines.
D. It points to a new direction in studying biology.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Harvand's Study in the Field of Insects.
B. A Breakthrough in Engineering Science
C.An Interesting Invention 一 Robotic Fly
D. Robotic Fly 一 a Copy of Real Life Insect
