There is a famous painting in the world called The Lute Player. It was painted by the Italian artist Caravaggio. Surprisingly, three paintings that look almost the same are kept in different places. And most people can't tell them apart.
For many years, art experts believed two of the paintings were real: one shown at Russia's Hermitage Museum, and the other kept in France's Wildenstein Art Collection. They thought the third painting, stored at Britain's Badminton House, was a copy.
But AI had a different idea. A Swiss company called Art Checking used smart computer tools to study the three paintings. Their analysis(分析) showed the painting in Britain has an 86% chance of being the real one, while the Wildenstein one is probably untrue.
This case shows how AI is now helping art experts. In the past, only human experts could decide if a painting was real, using their knowledge and special tools(like light tests). Now, AI can look at very small details(细节) such as brushstrokes(笔触), colours, and surface feel, and compare them with real works by the same artist. Sometimes it finds things even experts or machines miss.
Still, many experts don't fully trust AI. They say AI gives answers but doesn't explain why. Also, AI needs thousands of artworks to learn well, but most artists didn't create so many works. Artists may also change their style suddenly, which can confuse AI.
Art is about human feelings, so neither AI nor humans can be 100% sure. Most experts say AI should work with traditional methods, not replace them. "I believe the future of checking art is AI and experts working together," said Carina, CEO of Art Checking.

【分析】首先通读全文，明确文章围绕AI辅助艺术品真伪鉴定展开。针对每道题，需回到原文定位对应信息：1. 第26题考查第一段写作意图，分析第一段内容（引出有三幅相似名画的话题），判断其作用是引入话题并吸引读者；2. 第27题需定位“曾被认为是复制品但可能为真”的画作，结合原文中专家与AI的不同结论判断；3. 第28题是细节多选，需逐一核对AI的优势，排除原文提到的AI无法解释判断原因的错误点；4. 第29题词义猜测，结合上下文“艺术家突然改变风格”的语境推断词义；5. 第30题推理判断，需结合原文最后一段关于AI与专家合作的表述，排除错误选项。
【解析】
26. 第一段介绍世界名画《鲁特琴演奏者》有三幅几乎相同的版本，多数人无法区分，目的是引出“艺术品鉴定”的话题，同时激发读者好奇心。选项A符合；B（专家判断方法）、C（个人艺术观点）、D（画作高价值）均未在第一段体现，故选A。
27. 原文提到“过去专家认为英国Badminton House的画作是复制品，AI分析显示其有86%概率为真”，因此选C。
28. 原文指出AI的优势：①能注意到专家错过的细节；②可与同艺术家作品对比；④能检查笔触、颜色等细节；而③“解释判断原因”是AI的不足，被专家质疑，故排除③，选B。
29. 第五段提到“艺术家可能突然改变风格，这会confuse AI”，结合语境，confuse意为“使无法清晰思考”，对应选项B。
30. 原文最后一段明确“AI应与传统方法合作，而非取代”，故B正确；A（AI取代专家）、C（Wildenstein画作肯定为真）、D（灯光测试无用）均与原文不符，故选B。
【答案】26.A 27.C 28.B 29.B 30.B
