B “Singer 2024,” a music competition show by Mango TV, started on May 10. The show uses a “live- broadcast” format (形式) without any editing, which has caused a lot of discussion. It made people think about Chinese singers’ performances and showed the difference between China’s music industry and the rest of the world. The first episode (集) had both international and Chinese singers. International singers like US singer Chanté Moore. and Canadian singer Faouzia, and Chinese singers like Na Ying, Wang Sulong, and Rainie Yang from Taiwan, were all part of the show. This mix was to attract different audiences. In the first episode, seven singers performed. However, the international singers did much better than the Chinese singers. Chanté Moore was the best with her song “If I Ain’t Got You,” and Faouzia impressed everyone with her song “Crazy.” The Chinese singers, including Na Ying, did not perform as well as expected. Therefore, Chanté Moore and Faouzia took the top two places, while Na Ying was third. The other places were also taken by Chinese singers. The live format is good but shows the problem in the Chinese music industry. The international singers were confident, but the Chinese singers were nervous. On the first night, the show was very popular on Weibo. People talked about which new singers might join and worried about the future of Chinese music. While “Singer 2024” started strong, the producers need to choose future guests carefully to keep the audience happy. Even though the Chinese singers had mixed reviews, their bravery to perform live is praiseworthy. In a world full of edited performances, live singing is a nice change. “Singer 2024” has shown both Chinese artists and fans the differences between Chinese and international music. It’s a wake- up call for Chinese music. To get better, the Chinese music industry needs to focus on real singing talent. 16. What is special about the show “Singer 2024”? A. High-quality editing. B. Live-broadcast format. C. Famous international judges. D. Diverse music styles. 17. Who were the top two performers in the first episode? A. Na Ying and Wang Sulong. B. Chanté Moore and Faouzia. C. Rainie Yang and Na Ying. D. Faouzia and Wang Sulong. 18. What was the audience’s feeling towards Chinese performers’ performance on the show? A. Very satisfied. B. Disappointed. C. Neutral. D. Uninterested. 19. What should the producers do to keep audience satisfied with the show? A. Increase editing. B. Choose more experienced hosts. C. Carefully consider future guest lineups. D. Reduce the number of international singers. 20. Why is “Singer 2024” considered a wake-up call for the Chinese music industry? A. The show didn’t attract enough viewers. B. The show revealed performance gaps between Chinese and international singers. C The show failed to invite famous singers. D. The show’s production quality was poor. C The bird flu outbreak (爆发) in the United States isn’t just for hunters and farmers to worry about. City folks, especially those with pets, need to be careful too. A project called the New York City Virus Hunters (NYCVH) Program found that a few birds in New York City were infected (传染) with a highly contagious bird flu. This means even people living in cities need to be careful to stop it from spreading. Between 2022 and 2023, volunteers collected 1,927 bird poop samples from parks and other green spaces in the city. They also got some samples from animal rehabilitation (康复) centers. In total, six birds tested positive for the virus. These included a red- tailed hawk, three Canada geese, a peregrine falcon, and a chicken. While the risk to humans and pets is low, it is not zero. Christine Marizzi, a microbiologist at Mount Sinai, advises people to stay away from wildlife and prevent their pets from getting close to wild animals. New York City is on the path of many birds that travel seasonally. This brings them into close contact with the city’s large population of humans and pets. The study explains that the public may not be aware of the infectious diseases these birds carry. The bird flu has been in New York for at least two years, but no human cases have been reported yet, which suggests that human infection is rare. However, in Texas, a farm worker recently got sick from bird flu, likely from a sick cow, marking a rare mammal-to-human transmission (传播). Marizzi stresses that monitoring birds is key to understanding which viruses are present and which can be dangerous to both birds and humans. Community participation is important for this effort. 21. What is the focus of the New York City Virus Hunters (NYCVH) Program? A. Hunting for infected birds in the city. B. Collecting bird poop samples for analysis. C. Monitoring the health of city pets. D. Researching the spread of human diseases. 22. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Infectious B. Deadly C. Harmful D. Dangerous 23. Which of the following birds tested positive for the highly contagious bird flu? A. Blue jay. B. Red- tailed hawk C. Sparrow D. Pigeon 24. According to the article, why should people stay away from wildlife? A. Wildlife can be unpredictable. B. Wildlife can cause damage to possessions. C. Wildlife is a threat to pets. D. Wildlife may carry infectious diseases. 25. What does Christine Marizzi stresses as key to understanding and stopping the spread of bird flu? A. Keeping infected birds away from others. B. Avoiding contact with mammals. C. Monitoring and studying birds. D. Giving pets medicine against bird flu. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题2分） 请阅读全文，并从下列方六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Now the US government is considering banning TikTok.
