24、People have long thought that AI will soon enough take jobs with repetitive labour (重复性劳动), such as truck drivers, cleaners, but cannot copy the creativity only human brains can produce. Truck drivers, retail cashiers and warehouse workers would all lose their jobs to robots, they said, while workers in creative fields like art, entertainment and media would be safe.

Well, an unexpected thing has happened recently: AI has entered the creative class.

In the past few months, AI-based image generators (图像生成器) like DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion have made it possible for anyone to create unique, hyper-realistic (超现实) images just by typing a few words into a text box. These apps, though new, are already surprisingly popular. DALL-E 2, has more than 1.5 million users generating more than two million images every day, while Midjourney has more than three million members.

It’s still too early to tell whether this new wave of apps will end up costing artists and illustrators their jobs. What seems clear, though, is that these tools are already being put to use in creative industries.

A few months ago, Sarah Drummond, a designer in London started using AI-generated images. Instead of spending hours creating sketches by hand, Ms. Drummond, now types what she wants into DALL-E 2 or Midjourney.

“All of a sudden, I can take like 15 seconds and go, ‘Woman at restaurant, black-and-white sketch,’ and get something back that’s really professional (专业的),” she said.

Ms. Drummond added that AI image generators had limitations. They aren’t good at more difficult sketches, for example, or creating different images with the same character. And like the other creative artists, she said she didn’t think AI designers would replace human illustrators completely.

“Would I use it for final output? No. I would hire someone to fully make what we wanted to realize,” she said. “But the throwaway work that you do when you’re any kind of designer, whether it’s visual, architectural, urban planner—you’re sketching, sketching sketching. And so this is a sketch tool.”

【1】According to the passage, AI based image generators can ________.

A．take the place of truck drivers

B．be more creative than humans

C．follow instructions to create certain images

D．create more than two million texts every day

【2】What does Ms. Drummond think of AI image generators？

A．They are more convenient for creating basic drawings.

B．They will be widely used and end up costing artists their jobs.

C．They are sketch tools to realize what you want for final output.

D．They are good at creating different images with the same character.

【3】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage？

A．To compare different AI image generators.

B．To explain how AI image generators work.

C．To encourage people to use AI for art work.

D．To show how AI is affecting creative fields.

25、Books can be a best friend. But nowadays not many people enjoy reading books , and most people don’t start to read until they have the time. Do you know how to enjoy reading books?

You’ll have to decide where to find a book first. Look for books in a library or a big bookstore. You can also ask friends or borrow books from them if you can check out their books.

If you find a good book, just sit in a comfortable chair or sofa and begin reading. Be sure to sit comfortably, or you will get tired soon. It will help you a lot to sit comfortably while reading.

The environment for reading is important, too. It has to be quiet, so that you can be calm before you begin to read. If there is too much noise, it’s not good for you to read.

When you start to read, don’t think about anything else, but what you’re reading. Put yourself into the story. If you read carefully, it will be difficult to put the book down.

Read and really enjoy it. Reading is not running your eyes over a book. But if you need to, read out the book fast, then you do not need to pay attention to every word. Just read and enjoy the book.
