Carnegie Hall(New York, USA)
Designed by William Burnet Tuthill, it is one of the most famous concert halls in the world for both classical music and popular music.

(邯郸高一期末)A new song by the famous band the Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI.
The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The new song, titled Now and Then , is unique because it combined the singing of McCartney and Starr with Lennon, who passed away in 1980, and the guitar skills of Harrison, who passed away in 2001.
The song was initially written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn’t release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying.
Peter Jackson, most famous for directing The Lord of the Rings , directed the music video for Now and Then and it can be watched now online. It was thanks to new AI audio restoration(音频修复)technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time.
Since its release last week, the song has been well received in the UK. Beatles fans around the world favoured this historic musical event.
“ Now and Then is an absolutely heart-warming piece of work,” posted Liam Gallagher, whose hits were affected by the Beatles’ musical style.
Of course, there are those who are not totally interested in the song. “ Now and Then is not terrible. But honestly, it’s kind of boring,” Geoff Edgers wrote in The Washington Post .
The Times in the UK said the song showed AI being used to its best advantage.

(济南高一期末)Pop stars have traditionally not come from the upper classes of society.Eminem grew up on a trailer (活动住屋) park.50 Cent is from the dangerous shelters of New York.The Beatles grew up in the poor city of Liverpool.

James Blunt,born on February 22,1974,comes from a family with a long tradition of military service.His early life was not filled with music.His army officer father thought all music,even classical,was unnecessary noise.His life seemed certain to follow that of his father’s before him—private schools,a good university and a career as an officer in the British Army.The thought of pursuing a career in music had never occurred to him until he witnessed an older boy playing an electric guitar at age 14.When he was sent to Kosovo in 1999,he didn’t just take his gun,he also took his guitar,attached to the side of his tank.As he drove through villages damaged by the war,he used to sing the John Lennon song Give Peace a Chance.“Well,” he later said,“we were peacekeepers.”
In 2003,he left the army and went to Los Angeles to make a record.In 2004,his first album Back to Bedlam was released,and the singles High,Wisemen and You’re Beautiful have been great successes.For the singing soldier,putting down a gun for a guitar has been a good choice.

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(沈阳高一期末)When I was a kid,I came across a basic series of questions every time I was introduced to a person.Most were easy:“How old are you?” “What grade are you in?” “What do you want to be when you grow up?” But there was one question that troubled me:“What do your parents do?”
Dad was a computer programmer,so that one was easy enough.“My dad works on computers,” I would say.But mom’s job was hard to explain.She called herself a “nurse practitioner”.Mom explained it easier to make me understand.“You can say I teach nursing,” she said.“My mom teaches nurses,” I would repeat what she had said to me.
When that answer led to even more questions,my response became simpler,“My mom is a nurse,” though I was finally left wondering what it was she actually did.It definitely demanded a lot of time and energy and was important to the injured.I got my first clue about what Mom actually did when having a late-night trip with her to the hospital in Central Phoenix.
Mom was called in to make rounds unexpectedly that night.It was dark outside and almost time for me to go to bed,so I was shocked when she asked if I wanted to come along with her.I loved the way the light from the streetlamps passed through the car.Being amazed at the view from the front seat,I didn’t say much.Some soft music was played on the radio in the car,which made me feel relaxed.When we arrived at the hospital,Mom guided me through the parking garage and led me to a small emergency waiting room.There was only a row of white chairs along each wall and a TV which weighed roughly three hundred pounds.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
My mom handed me a bag of chocolate and left the emergency room to make her rounds.
Paragraph 2:
On the drive home,I asked Mom if she had seen a man whose arms were injured badly.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
My mom handed me a bag of chocolate and left the emergency room to make her rounds.There was nothing to do,so I started to observe the only other person in this waiting room.I went to him and said,“Hi,my name’s Monica.What’s yours?” He answered me and we talked a lot.I noticed that his arms were injured badly.Before long,he was taken to the treatment room.And I stayed there alone by myself until my mom came back.
Paragraph 2:
On the drive home,I asked Mom if she had seen a man whose arms were injured badly.She gave me a positive response and told me that the man would be fine after an operation.I felt proud of her when I realized that my mom or one of her students would be there when the man woke up.And I realized Mom was a real-life superhero,who devoted all her energy to her work in the hospital.She was a nurse practitioner — an educator and a caretaker.And what she did made a difference,which even a kid could see.
