Ⅲ.阅读理解 (2024·东莞高二检测)Researchers of a company have developed an AI tool，called MusicLM，which is designed to create music based on a set of descriptive words.While it is not the first AI music tool to launch，MusicLM demonstrates remarkable creative ability in generating music from limited inputs.To use the system，a user comes up with a word or words that describe the type 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.The more detailed the description is，the better the system can attempt to produce the desired music. MusicLM has generated several different music examples based on just one- or two-word descriptions such as “jazz” or “techno”．The system can also create music from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.The resulting music closely matches the input description.According to the team，the system can also generate music based on a person's own singing，whistling，or playing an instrument.It produces high-quality music that can last several minutes while being faithful to the written descriptions. Although the MusicLM system is not yet available to the public，its company has released a dataset(数据集) of more than 5，500 music-writing pairs prepared by professional musicians called MusicCaps.This dataset can help advance the progress of other AI music generators. The MusicLM system is an exciting development in the field of AI-generated music.It has the potential to help users quickly and easily create high-quality music.However，the team also acknowledges that machine learning has some risks associated with it.Just like any emerging technology，it is vital to thoughtfully examine and resolve any ethical issues that may surface. In conclusion，MusicLM is a promising tool that can generate high-quality music based on limited inputs.Its ability to create music from descriptions，singing，whistling，or playing an instrument is impressive.While its potential is exciting，it is crucial to address any ethical concerns that may arise from using this new technology. 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. 2．Why did the company release the MusicCaps dataset? A．To allow the public to use MusicLM. B．To display the capabilities of MusicLM. C．To help develop other AI music generators. D．To promote the MusicCaps service. 3．What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph? A．Problems about the new tool. B．Advantages of using MusicLM. C．The background of the research team. D．The application of AI technology. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．MusicLM—an Example of AI Systems B．A Company's MusicLM—AI Music Creation C．Risks and Benefits of AI-generated Music D.Using MusicCaps Dataset to Advance AI Music 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家公司研发的AI音乐生成模型MusicLM，能够基于文本输入生成音乐。 1．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“To use the system，a user comes up with a word or words that describe the type of music they want the tool to create.”以及最后一句“The more detailed the description is，the better the system can attempt to produce the desired music.”可知，MusicLM是根据用户输入的关于音乐类型的描述性语言创造出与之有关的音乐。故选B。 2．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“This dataset can help advance the progress of other AI music generators.”可知，研究人员发布数据集是为了助力其他AI音乐生成器的发展。故选C。 3．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While its potential is exciting，it is crucial to address any ethical concerns that may arise from using this new technology.”可知，最后一段提到了与这一技术有关的一些风险，所以接下来应该是讨论具体的风险有哪些。故选A项。 4．B　[解析]标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一家公司研发的AI音乐生成模型MusicLM，能够基于文本描述生成音乐。所以B选项“一家公司的MusicLM——AI音乐创作”可作为本文的标题。故选B。 Ⅳ.完形填空 (2024·浙江省精诚联盟高二检测)Each morning at 6 a．m., Kamaljeet Singh, 57, is up and out of the house.He starts by spending three hours helping 1 food to nearly two dozen drop-off locations across Delhi, India, then 2 the numerous facilities run by the volunteer organization he leads with his brother, Premjit.The organization, Veerji Ka Dera, was founded in 1989 by their father, Trilokchan Singh. “He was a very 3 man，” says Kamaljeet of his father, who died in 2010.In the 1980s, Trilokchan began organizing volunteers to help him clean temples.Then they began 4 one of India's most underserved groups(弱势群体): the migrant workers who came to Delhi from rural areas.It started with a free breakfast, and eventually the group was also providing basic first aid for minor, often job-related， 5 ． After his death, Kamaljeet and Premjit, inspired by their father's lifetime of service, 6 the organization.“We are continuing helping the poor，” says Premjit, 61. “Our aim is that no one goes hungry and 7 for in Delhi.” Veerji Ka Dera now 8 about 2，500 daily wage workers and homeless people a day, in addition to offering basic medical care to as many as 500 people.It's all made 9 by the roughly 250 families who 10 their time to cook, drive, nurse, farm and clean.During the pandemic, with special 11 from the government, it 12 down to feed 5，000 people a day and offer medical care to those 13 ． In 2023, the award—the Real Heroes of Rising India—was 14 to them by India's Health Minister for their 15 act. 1．A.contribute　　　　　　 B．distribute C．purchase D．donate 2．A.checks on B．decides on C．carries on D．checks out 3．A.selfish B．mean C．selfless D．fearless 4．A.supporting B．convincing C．supposing D．reminding 5．A.issues B．sufferings C．pains D．injuries 6．A.took on B．turned on C．turned over D．took over 7．A.unfriendly B．uncared C．unconcerned D．unnecessary 8．A.sponsors B．employs C．feeds D．dismisses 9．A.apparent B．adequate C．possible D．moderate 10．A.volunteer B．waste C．take D．spend 11．A.authority B．potential C．privilege D．permission 12．A.doubled B．brought C．slid D．fell 13．A.in place B．in time C．in need D．in relief 14．A.provided B．presented C．preserved D．observed 15．A.concerning B．stunning C．challenging D．rewarding 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了名为Veerji Ka Dera组织的创立和发展过程，以及对社会的帮助。 1．B　[解析]contribute贡献；distribute分发，分配，分布；purchase购买；donate捐赠。根据下文可知，他要花三个小时的时间协助把食物分发到二十多个投递点。故选B。 2．A　[解析]check on检查，查看；decide on决定；carry on继续；check out结账离开。分发完食物，他检查志愿者组织运营的众多设施。故选A。 3．C　[解析]根据下文对Trilokchan的描述，他组织志愿者帮助清洁寺庙，并且后来还开始帮助来自农村的外来务工者，这些行为都体现了他无私的精神。故选C。 4．A　[解析] 根据上下文可知，他们给予这些弱势群体支持和帮助。故选A。 5．D　[解析]句意：该组织一开始提供免费早餐，后来还为通常与工作有关的轻微伤害提供基本的急救。 injuries对应上文中的first aid。故选D。 6．D　[解析]take on承担；turn on打开；turn over翻转；take over接管。根据上文的After his death可知，父亲去世后，Kamaljeet和Premjit接管了这个组织。故选D。 7．B　[解析]根据上文可知，他们的目标是让Delhi没有人挨饿或得不到照顾。uncared符合语境。故选B。 8．C　[解析]sponsor赞助；employ雇用；feed给(人或动物)食物，喂养；dismiss解雇。根据上文可知，他们为低收入者和无家可归的人提供食物。故选C。 9．C　[解析]根据语境可知，大约250个家庭自愿花时间做饭、开车、护理、种地和打扫卫生使得这一切成为可能。故选C。 10．A　[解析]根据上文可知，该组织组织志愿者帮助弱势群体，所以大约250个家庭自愿花时间做饭、开车、护理、种地和打扫卫生。故选A。 11．D　[解析]在特殊时期，只有在政府的特别许可下，才能为有需要的人提供食物。authority权威；potential潜力；privilege特权；permission准许，许可。故选D。 12．A　[解析]根据上文“...about 2，500 daily wage workers and homeless people a day”以及下文的“down to feed 5，000 people a day”可知，他们帮助的人数翻倍。double down to“加倍到”。故选A。 13．C　[解析]根据语境可知，他们为有需要的人提供医疗服务。 in need“有需要的”。故选C。 14．B　[解析]2023年，印度卫生部长向他们颁发了奖项，以表彰他们有益的行为。present the award to “把奖颁发给……”。故选B。 15．D　[解析]印度卫生部长为该组织颁发了奖项，是因为他们有益的行为。rewarding“有益的”。故选D。 Ⅴ.语法填空 (2024·辽宁名校联盟高二联考)AI chatbot phenomenon ChatGPT is changing the world and has kicked off a new global AI race.Some experts regard it as one of the greatest 1.
