Yet he was extraordinarily fluent in the language of music. Kevin says, “Music was sort of my way of self-expression when I couldn’t communicate what I felt with words.” Now in his mid-20s, Mr Day is breaking racial and age barriers in classical music. His work has already been performed at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, the Rachmaninov Hall in Moscow, and the Carnegie Hall in New York. To reach these peaks, the young composer has had to overcome tough challenges. “He is driven, but he is so uplifted and comforted by music that I don’t think it’s a choice for him,” says Cynthia Johnston Turner, dean of the music faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. During her previous post at the University of Georgia, she selected Mr Day for a master’s programme.“He has a lot of resilience （复原力） but let’s not ignore the fact that the systems are piled up against him.” 刷阅读理解 6 Mr Day’s work is influenced by life experiences as much as by musical notes. When he was around 10 years old, his family’s struggles deepened. Both his parents were unable to find a job. Sometimes there was no electricity or water in the house. In the end, the family lost their house and car. “I don’t make a big deal out of this stuff,” Mr Day notes. “I’m always looking forward and try not to look back, not even for reflection.” To date, Mr Day’s 200-plus pieces of music include works for concert bands and symphony orchestras. He’s eager to branch out into contemporary music, including hip-hop and jazz. He is also earning his doctorate. “I have this sort of spirit of resilience that I’ve kind of inherited from my parents,” says Mr Day. It’s given him a sense of urgency to create music that bolsters listeners going through difficult times. “My goal is to try to help others as well.” 刷阅读理解 7 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐家凯文·戴在音乐方面极具天赋及他取得的音乐成就。 1.Which aspect of Mr Day does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on?( ) D A.His career challenges. B.His career goals. C.His music styles. D.His music achievements. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知，戴正在打破古典音乐领域的种族和年龄障碍，他的作品已经在马萨诸塞州莱诺克斯的坦格尔伍德音乐中心、莫斯科的拉赫玛尼诺夫音乐厅和纽约的卡内基音乐厅演出。由此可知，第二段主要讲的是戴的音乐成就。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 8 2.What can be learnt about Mr Day from Cynthia Johnston Turner’s words?( ) C A.He likes writing uplifting music. B.He received support from society. C.He has a deep connection to music. D.He changed universities on her advice. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的He is driven, but he is so uplifted and comforted by music that I don’t think it’s a choice for him可知，辛西娅·约翰斯顿·特纳认为音乐给戴带来了强大的力量，音乐对他来说并非可有可无的选择，这说明他和音乐之间有很深的联系。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 9 3.How does Mr Day feel about his childhood experiences?( ) B A.They are his source of inspiration. B.They are already in the past. C.They aren’t unique to him.

B.Entertains. C.Reminds.

He completed around 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his 10th Symphony （交响曲）. Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence （AI） to complete the artist’s final composition. Dr Matthias first came up with the idea of completing the composition in 2019. He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included the music composer Walter Werzowa and Dr Ahmed Elgammal, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market. Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven’s works. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven’s plans for the 10th Symphony. 刷阅读理解 13 The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven’s original composition, Ahmed’s team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was the closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony! The composition was firstly released on October 9, 2021. Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy （争议）. Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process. Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways. 刷阅读理解 14 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能完成了贝多芬的《第十交响曲》。 1.What is the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?( ) D A.To voice his greatest respect for Beethoven. B.To compare traditional music and AI music. C.To present the team of music experts’ hard work. D.To introduce an innovative method of creating music. 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的Dr Matthias first came up with the idea of completing the composition in 2019.可知，第一段的主要目的是介绍一种创新的音乐创作方法，引出下文介绍的科研团队使用这一创作方法完成贝多芬的《第十交响曲》的事例。 刷阅读理解 15 2.Which can be used to best describe the team’s work?( ) C A.Inspiring. B.Steady. C.Challenging. D.Boring. 解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段Ahmed and his colleagues started the process… that detailed Beethoven’s plans for the 10th Symphony.和文章第四段内容可知，艾哈迈德和他的同事从最开始使人工智能软件对贝多芬的作品有记忆，到最后成功创作出贝多芬的《第十交响曲》，这期间经历了许多过程。由此可知，这个团队的工作是充满挑战性的。 刷阅读理解 16 3.What does the underlined word “replicate” in the last paragraph mean?( ) B A.Question. B.Copy. C.Direct. D.Speed. 解析 词义猜测题。根据上文介绍的人工智能创作音乐的方法可知，人工智能需要先学习大量的曲谱，然后进行模仿创作；结合下文中的Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.可知，此处表示使用人工智能创作音乐这种方式实则是在模仿人类的创造过程，批评者认为，该技术不应该被用来复制人类的创造过程，结合选项可推测replicate与copy意义相近，表示“复制”。 刷阅读理解 17 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( ) B A.Beethoven’s 10th Symphony Was Eventually Staged B.AI Helped Complete Beethoven’s Unfinished Symphony C.A Team of Experts Conducted an Impossible Mission D.A Controversial Way Successfully Interpreted Beethoven’s Music 解析 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，尤其是第一段中的Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence （AI） to complete the artist’s final composition.可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能帮助完成贝多芬未完成的交响曲。 刷阅读理解 18 核心词汇 1.undoubtedly adv. 毫无疑问地 2.composition n. 作品；作曲；组成；作文 3.appropriate adj. 恰当的；合适的 4.innovative adj. 革新的；创新的 5.generate vt. 产生；引起 刷阅读理解 19 B [湖南部分校2024高二联考] Taste in music varies considerably, but whatever people enjoy listening to, they often report an emotional response that has a touch of the physical to it. Maybe you feel beautiful music gives you the feeling of being cold, or makes your hair stand on end. By studying a rare person, named BW, who does not like or respond to music at all, psychologist Psyche Loui of Northeastern University has discovered that connectivity patterns in the brain link finding music rewarding with finding social interaction enjoyable. “BW said he had never understood why people enjoy music,” Loui says. BW is not someone who doesn’t like art, Loui says. “He goes to museums. He’s an enthusiastic photographer. He likes good food. He likes long walks on the beach. He just doesn’t like music.” He told Loui that when he saw a person at the grocery store with headphones in their ears dancing to music, he could never understand why anyone would do that. “This really seems to be a somewhat socially weakening experience,” Loui says. 刷阅读理解 20 “Given that music is important for social bonding across different cultures and that music is a way for the hearing system to connect to the reward system, one strong prediction is that music reward sensitivity can partially explain individual differences in sensitivity to social reward.” This newly discovered connectivity between the hearing and reward systems may be why we feel emotions in response to music, Loui says. “I think that there’s a role of music for social bonding.” She also thinks there are influences from this work for other conditions with low social reward. “If people who don’t love music have differences in specific systems in the brain, then that shows these specific systems are related to the love of music. Then we can examine what else engages these same systems and what other abilities or human capacities are linked to music.” 刷阅读理解 21 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学家揭示的享受音乐与社交互动之间的联系。 1.Why are “being cold” and “hair stand on end” mentioned in Paragraph 1?( ) D A.To develop the plot. B.To draw a conclusion. C.To make comparisons. D.To support the argument. 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的Taste in music varies considerably, but whatever people enjoy listening to, they often report an emotional response that has a touch of the physical to it.可知，人与人之间的音乐欣赏力差异很大，但无论人们喜欢听什么，他们通常都会有一种带有身体反应色彩的情感反应，紧接着下文提到being cold和hair stand on end，这是对上文的观点进行举例说明。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 22 2.What does BW think of music?( ) D A.He thinks music is important in social bonding. B.He enjoys music while wandering on the beach. C.He figures music is less important than art and food. D.He takes little interest in and is unresponsive to music. 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的He just doesn’t like music.及He told Loui that when he saw a person at the grocery store with headphones in their ears dancing to music, he could never understand why anyone would do that.可知，他对音乐不感兴趣，也没有反应。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 23 3.What will Loui probably examine in the follow-up study?( ) D A.What role music plays in social bonding. B.How people respond to music emotionally. C.Whether specific music influences the brain system. D.What other human abilities are linked with music. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If people who don’t love music have differences in specific systems in the brain, then that shows these specific systems are related to the love of music. Then we can examine what else engages these same systems and what other abilities or human capacities are linked to music.”可知，如果不喜欢音乐的人大脑中的特定系统存在差异，那么这表明这些特定系统与对音乐的热爱有关。接下来可能会研究人类还有哪些能力与音乐有关。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 24 4.What’s the text mainly about?( ) B A.People’s emotional and physical reactions to beautiful music. B.Connections between the enjoyment of music and social interaction. C.Relationships among social bonding, diverse cultures and music. D.Links among music sensibility, the hearing system and reward system. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第二段、倒数第二段内容及最后一段中的This newly discovered connectivity between the hearing and reward systems may be why we feel emotions in response to music, Loui says. “I think that there’s a role of music for social bonding.”可知，本文主要讲的是享受音乐和社交之间的联系。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 25 长难句分析 句意：考虑到音乐对不同文化之间的社会联系很重要，而且音乐是连接听觉系统与奖励系统的一种方式，一个强有力的预测是，音乐奖励敏感性可以部分解释个体对社会奖励敏感性的差异。 刷阅读理解 26 核心词汇 1.considerably adv. 非常；相当多地 2.enthusiastic adj. 热情的；满腔热忱的 3.given that 考虑到；鉴于 刷阅读理解 27 [河南鹤壁高中2024高二月考] When I was a child, I began learning to play the piano.
