“It was really memorable to attend my graduation ceremony this way,”one of the graduates told Pear Video,a popular app,“I will remember it forever.”

There's a new sight in the sky these days—the newly-discovered Comet（彗星）NEOWISE is flying past the sun.This is the first time since the1990s when people have had a chance to see a comet with their bare eyes（裸眼）.
A comet is basically a ball of dirty ice that moves around the sun.As a comet comes close to the sun,the sun melts（融化）some of the ice,which makes a tail behind the comet as it flies through space.Most comets move around the sun in a ets spend most of their time moving slowly,far away from the sun.As they pass the sun,they speed up.
The size and shape of a comet's moving way can influence how long it takes to finish its one circle.Halley's Comet is a famous comet coming around once every75-76years.But the last time Comet NEOWISE was here near the sun was about6,800years ago.Because of the long time it takes to finish its one circle,NEOWISE was only just discovered some months ago.It was seen in March with a special space telescope run by NASA.
The name of the telescope system that first saw the comet is NEOWISE,so that's how the comet got its name. NEOWISE is easy to see now because it is close to the sun.At its farthest,NEOWISE will be630times farther away from the sun than the earth is.
Even at its closest—which was on July23—the comet was still as far away from the earth as Mars was.But it was still bright enough to see,even without a telescope.
51.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us？
A.Why comets have a tail behind them.
B.How comets move around the sun.
C.Some facts about comets.
52.What can we infer from the third paragraph？
et NEOWISE is less common to see than Halley's Comet.
B.It's easy for Comet NEOWISE to move around the sun in a circle.
et NEOWISE is more famous than Halley's Comet.
53.Where does the name of the new comet come from？
A.The name of the telescope system.
B.The name of the person who first saw it.
C.The name of a special day.
54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
et NEOWISE was farther from the earth than the Mars was on July23this year.
et NEOWISE is always closer to the sun than the earth is.
C.How long Comet NEOWISE needs to finish one circle is influenced by its moving way.
55.What does the passage mainly talk about？
A.How to watch comets.
B.A newly-discovered comet.
C.How comets move around the sun.

As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip,art of every kind has always been influenced by technological development.AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if people don't fear it and try to welcome it.
What else can AI do？
AI can learn different music styles and create music.
AI makes web design faster by creating starting points and giving suggestions.
59..For example,it can learn a style of painting,and then recreate paintings in the same style.
A.AI can also do some easy work for artists again and again
B.AI can also learn different styles of paintings
C.Some people worry that AI might replace artists someday
D.AI can help collect information and facts for news writing
E.However,it could give the artists time to test other things
