[素能提升练] Ⅰ.阅读理解 (每小题2．5分，共20分) A (2023·合肥市六校高二下期末联考) Recently，Google researchers published a paper describing results from an artificial intelligence (AI) tool，called MusicLM，built to create music.It is not the first AI music tool to launch.But the examples Google provides demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.AI shows how complex computer systems have been trained to behave in human-like ways. Google engineers explain the MusicLM system this way: First，a user comes up with a word or words that describe the kind of music they want the tool to create.For example，a user could enter this short phrase into the system: “a continuous calming violin backed by a soft guitar sound.” The descriptions entered can include different music styles，instruments or other existing sounds.Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online.Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions，such as “jazz”，or “techno”．The system created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.In the resulting recording，the music seems to keep very close to the description.The team said that the more detailed the description is，the better the system can attempt to produce it. In addition to generating new music from written descriptions，the team said the system can also create examples based on a person's own singing，whistling or playing an instrument.The researchers said the tool “produces high-quality music... over several minutes，while being faithful to the text conditioning signal”． Although it hasn't been released for public use，Google announced it was releasing a “high-quality dataset (数据集)” of more than 5，500 music-writing pairs prepared by professional musicians called MusicCaps.The researchers took that step to assist in the development of other AI music generators. The MusicLM researchers said they believe they have designed a new tool to help anyone quickly and easily create high-quality music selections.However，the team said it also recognizes some risks linked to the machine learning process. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了谷歌公司发明了一款名为MusicLM的工具用于音乐创作。 1．How does MusicLM work? A．It adapts music from recordings. B．It generates music from written descriptions. C．It teaches users how to play a musical instrument. D．It recommends songs based on a user's listening history. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，MusicLM是通过书面描述生成音乐的。故选B。 2．Why did Google release the MusicCaps dataset? A．To display the capabilities of MusicLM. B．To allow the public to use MusicLM. C．To help develop other AI music generators. D．To promote the MusicCaps service. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The researchers took that step to assist in the development of other AI music generators.”可知，谷歌发布MusicCaps数据集是要帮助开发其他人工智能音乐生成器。故选C。 3．What might be an advantage of using MusicLM for music creation? A．It can improve the overall quality of all music. B．It can replace human musicians and composers. C．It can produce music that is more complex. D．It can create music quickly and efficiently. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The researchers said the tool ‘produces high-quality music... over several minutes，while being faithful to the text conditioning signal’．”可知，MusicLM可以高效快速地创作出音乐。故选D。 4．What is the main idea of the article? A．Google has developed MusicLM to create music. B．MusicLM—an AI system can behave in human-like ways. C．MusicLM can create all kinds of music following written descriptions. D．Google has released a dataset to help develop music generators. 答案：A 解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了谷歌公司发明了一款名为MusicLM的工具用于音乐创作。故选A。 B (2023·重庆一中高二下期末) The rise of robots has raised the possibility of future where there is simply less work for humans to do.To tired workers，a world where all had a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice.Yet what really matters is how work will be distributed across the workforce. The recent past shows there is no reason to believe it will be evenly spread.The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009.But averages hide a lot. While trends among women have been stable，there have been big shifts among men.Males in well-paid full-time employment are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago.Meanwhile，men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working much less. On top of that，the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply.Twenty years ago，one in twenty men with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five.Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid.In better paying jobs，part-time men are still fairly rare.Gender roles within families might tend to be similar too.Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their parents can return to work. Yet it is clear that the distribution of work will matter to people.Britain has both over employment and underemployment problems: Official data show 3.4m people in Britain want to work more hours while 3.2m want to work few hours for less pay.The underemployed are likely to be waiters or cleaners.The over employed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives.This indicates an economy where demand and supply of skills are out of sync. Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills.Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they desire.Others might find themselves in greater demand.But short of developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs the economy needs，it seems likely that in the future—as now—there will be too much work for some，and too little for others. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了机器人的兴起造成了劳动力分配不均，如果不能建立一个更好的系统来快速培训人们以适应经济所需的工作，未来很可能会出现一些人的工作太多，而另一些人的工作太少的局面。 5．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A．The development of robots will get rid of human's work. B．Future leisure time will be allocated evenly across the workforce. C．UK has taken some measures to stop the decline of working hours. D．The average may not accurately indicate the steady decline of working hours. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009.But averages hide a lot.”可推知，平均值背后隐藏了很多不确定因素，所以可能无法准确地表明工作时间的稳步减少。故选D。 6．Which of the following best describes the distribution of work in Britain? A．Fair.　　　　　 B．Imbalanced. C．Stable. D．Uncertain. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Britain has both over employment and underemployment problems”和“This indicates an economy where demand and supply of skills are out of sync.”可推知，在英国，同时出现了过度就业和就业不足的问题，工作分配不均衡。故选B。 7．What can we learn from the analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies? A．Part-time men have increased only among the low-paid. B．More well-paid men are choosing to work part-time. C．Part-time men rarely shoulder childcare responsibilities. D．Low-paid men are to blame for the low employment. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“On top of that，the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply.”和“Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid.”可知，从事兼职工作的男性只在低收入人群中有所增加。故选A。 8．What's the text mainly about? A．The total amount of human labor will be decreased. B．Better training system will be built across the world. C．Robots contribute to uneven distribution across the workforce. D．The number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased. 答案：C 解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段及全文内容可知，本文主要阐明了机器人的兴起，使得未来人们能够从事的工作可能会变少，也导致了劳动力分配不均的问题。故选C。 Ⅱ.语法填空(每小题1.5分，共15分) (2023·浙江杭州高二下期末) TikTok on Thursday began letting users post videos up to three minutes in length to stay ahead of competitors.TikTok 1._________ (believe) to have one billion users worldwide including more than 100 million in the United States，and is 2.
