Dr.Matthias first came up with the idea to complete 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 music composer Walter and Dr.Ahmed，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 to just Beethoven’s work.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. 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 AI­generated musical note variations every evening.Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was 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. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲。 32．What is the purpose of the writer in writing Paragraph 1?

However，there are some concerns about growing ivy.Ivy has a reputation for damaging buildings，but according to the UK’s Royal Horticultural Society，this doesn’t usually happen unless the walls already have cracks. 39 But Blanusa at the University of Reading，UK，who has examined the effects of plant climbers，finds that ivy raises humidity next to the wall by only a small amount. 40 Once ivy has been in the ground for a few years，it can grow out of control.Just don’t let it get the better of you. A．Growing ivy can bring added benefits. B．Therefore，I strongly oppose growing ivy. C．The other fear is that it can make walls damp. D．Besides，it can be tolerant of various kinds of soil. E．Anyway，you do need to be careful in growing ivy. F．An ivy­covered wall will slightly warm a room in winter.

My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety­mile­per­hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high­school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me “Dream is priceless”．However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long­held dream. It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ＄ 12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ＄3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mother.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn’t dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage，“If you make your bed，you have to lie in it.” I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1： I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. Paragraph 2： That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. 参考范文： Paragraph 1： I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.As expected，his face turned purple immediately.He glared at me like a bull.“You have your whole life to work，”he said，“but your playing days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head down.“How much will you be paid，son？” He demanded.“＄12.25 per hour.” “Well，”he shrugged.“Is ＄12.25 an hour the price of a dream？” Paragraph 2： That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.Yes，dream is priceless.It’s stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream.I held my head high and said firmly，“Sorry，Mr.Jarvis.I know what to do next.”My coach smiled with great satisfaction.That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training.And one year later，I obtained a baseball scholarship to the University.I knew I would soon buy my mum a house.Thankfully，I made a right choice.Without Mr.Jarvis，I would never know I could afford a dream. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
