When mst peple think f drnes（无人机）, they think f technlgy and fun. Safe t say, few peple wuld think abut farming. Hwever, a grup f students frm Yrk Cllege f Pennsylvania have been building a drne that will nt nly help lcal farmers but the envirnment, as well.
Samantha Gtwalt and Blayde Reich, tw senir Mechanical Engineering majrs at Yrk Cllege in the grup, bth fund the wrk t be quite fascinating. Accrding t Samantha, the idea came frm a Yrk Cllege prfessr, wh has wrked with drnes, and wanted t get students invlved with a prject beneficial t the cmmunity. “We really want t help farming and agriculture. I's super-imprtant t America and ur ecnmy,” Blayde says. “We want t help the smaller farmers, and ne f the perks is nt having t spend their mney n fertilizer and pesticides（杀虫剂）.”
The idea is t design and build a drne that will take vide imagery f the fields t determine what is needed t prduce the best crp, while saving mney and sparing the envirnment by reducing pllutants in the water runff . Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need and what they dn't.
Hwever, finding the right equipment fr the prject was a challenge, starting with what drne the team wuld design fr this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and cntrl f drnes t help make the prper determinatin.
“We are flying ver the field and we want t have enugh efficiency and g relatively slw enugh that ur pictures turn ut well and fly lw enugh that it is nt using up all f its pwer,” she says. “The fields are a cuple hundred acres（英亩）, s yu need yur drne t be able t fly the length f that field.”
Blayde says the team cntinues t learn a great deal f infrmatin that will help the farmers and the envirnment.
8. What des the underlined wrd “perks” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. challenges. B. features. C. benefits.D. slutins.
9. What particular usage is the drne designed fr?
A. Spreading prper quantities f pesticides.B. Helping t determine the chemicals needed.
C. Assisting t mnitr the state f crps.D. Measuring the areas f the fields.
10. What technical issue f the drne shall be tackled?

Ai-Da sits behind a desk, a paintbrush in her hand. She lks up at the persn psing fr her, and then back dwn as she applies anther drp f paint nt the canvas（画布）. A lifelike prtrait is taking shape. If yu didn't knw a rbt prduced it, this prtrait culd pass as the wrk f a human artist.
Ai-Da prduces prtraits f sitting subjects using a rbtic hand attached t her lifelike figure. She's als able t talk, giving detailed answers t questins abut her artistic prcess and attitudes twards technlgy. She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersectin f Art and AI” in Oxfrd several years ag. Ai-Da's creatrs have als been experimenting with having her write and perfrm her wn petry.
But hw are we t interpret Ai-Da's utput? Shuld we cnsider her paintings and petry riginal and creative? Are these wrks actually art?
What discussins abut AI and creativity ften verlk is the fact that creativity isn't an abslute quality that can be defined, measured and reprduced bjectively. When we describe an bject—fr instance, a child's drawing—as being creative, we prject ur wn assumptins abut culture nt it. Indeed, art never exists in islatin. It always needs smene t give it “art” status. And the criteria fr whether yu think smething is art are frmed by bth yur expectatins and brader cultural cnceptins.
If we extend this line f thinking t AI, it fllws that n Al applicatin r rbt can bjectively be “creative”. It is always we—humans—that decide whether wrks created by AI are art.
Sme may see rbt-prduced paintings as smething cming frm creative cmputers, while thers may be skeptical, given the fact that rbts act n clear human instructins. In any case, attributin（归属） f creativity never depends n technical arrangement alne—n cmputer is bjectively creative. Rather, the attributin f cmputatinal creativity is largely inspired by cntexts f receptin. Thrugh particular scial infrmatin, sme peple are inspired t think f AI utput as art, systems as artists, and cmputers as creatrs. Therefre, as with any piece f art, yur appreciatin f AI utput ultimately depends n yur wn interpretatin.
12. What can we learn abut Ai-Da?
A. She has a cmplex many-sided persnality.B. She beat thers in the debate n art and AL
C. She is capable f drawing high-quality prtraits.D. She can write pems withut being prgrammed.
13. What fact d discussins abut AI and creativity ften ignre?
A. That art is cntent-based.B. That art can take many frms.
C. That creativity is clsely related t cultures.D. That creativity is ften measured subjectively.
14. What idea des the authr want t cnvey in the last paragraph?
A. Every cin has tw sides.B. Great minds think alike.
C. Fur eyes see mre than tw.D. Beauty is in the eye f the behlder.
15. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Is AI-created Art Really Art?B. Will Peple Accept AI Artists?
C. Can We Use Al t Create Prtraits?D. D We Need t Imprve AI's Creativity?
