Today, cultures worldwide have their own ways of celebrating the arrival of spring.
The National Cherry Blossom Festival
Here in Washington, D.C., March 20 marks the first day of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The festival was first organized in 1935. Now, each year, people from around the world come to see the pink and white blossoms on the thousands of flowering cherry trees. For Washingtonians, the cherry blossoms are a welcome sign that spring has arrived.
Nowruz
Countries along the ancient Silk Road trading path, including Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian nations, celebrate Nowruz. During Nowruz, people visit family members and friends and exchange gifts. Iranian families set up a “haft seen” display of seven special items that represent spring and new beginnings. In Uzbekistan and other places in Central Asia, people watch wrestling events, horse races and a special horseback game called, in Uzbek, Kopkari.
Holi Festival
Many in India and Nepal mark the arrival of spring with the Holi Festival, known also as the festival of colors or the festival of love. People celebrate the festival by covering each other in, as you might have guessed, colors! Children especially enjoy the festival, as they get to throw coloured powder and water-filled balloons at others.
Las Fallas
People in Valencia, Spain, have their spring celebration called Las Fallas. It is a wild street festival involving fire. The festival centers on the creation and burning of huge colourful statues made of wood, paper and plastic. The statues are meant to look like real people. Valencian communities and organizations work all year to create these structures and place them throughout the city, with fireworks inside.
11. Which country’s activities are mainly focused on sports?

On a full-moon night in 1988, a young park keeper named Bruce Barnes paddled a boat into the wetlands of Louisiana’s Barataria Preserve. It was 2 a. m. when he pulled out his instrument and played it attentively. First, Barnes recalled, the frogs joined in. Then the turtles approached. Several of them stayed at the boat’s edge as he sang for them during the next two hours.
Barnes, now 61, is known today as a musician. He is also a naturalist who spends most of his career working for the National Park Service. His early interest in the natural world led him to major in biology at Henderson State University and to start working at national parks as an undergraduate. He arrived at Barataria in 1987 when he was 23. Barnes surveyed the park’s plants and animals and led daytime boat trips. Hours after sunset, he returned to the water by himself.
For Barnes, music and nature don’t inhabit separately. Louisiana’s rhythms, he says, are as place-specific as its marshes and forests. The wetlands even produce their own music. Barnes has visited Barataria at night with a sound engineer, capturing wildlife sounds to weave into his recordings.
Barnes retired from the National Park Service in 2015. He still plays music full time, and he remains a naturalist, leading walking tours and photographing medicinal plants. Some of those photographs are currently on display in New Orleans.
Plants and music, to Barnes, all have magic power. In his adopted home, they are never far from each other. “When you roll into New Orleans, you can hear some of the world’s greatest music,” he says. “And you can get in your car and drive 25 minutes and be in the wetlands, completely surrounded by nature and water, and feel like you’re 1,000 miles from civilization.”
14. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By listing some figures. B. By giving some examples.
C. By describing a scene. D. By comparing two situations.
15. What does the underlined word “inhabit” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Exist. B. Unite. C. Form. D. Originate.
16. Which words can best describe Barnes?
A. Adventurous and outgoing. B. Nature-loving and artistic.
C. Determined and independent. D. Creative and generous.
17. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. A hidden musical world in Barataria. B. The secrets of Barataria’s wetlands.
C. The role of music in Barataria’s wildlife. D. A park keeper’s passion for nature and music.
C
Sometimes, what my seven-year-old tabby cat Ophelia wants is obvious. Crying in front of her empty food bowl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk of starvation. Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.
The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by AI. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app records your feline’s meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, like “I’m annoyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy of the translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. “We’re the largest collectors of meows in this galaxy,” he jokes.
The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word “play”.
Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. “If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats,” she says.
18. How can computer scientists at Akvelon help cat owners?
A. By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B. By getting cats rid of starvation.
C. By filling the empty food bowls.
D. By solving the mysteries of cats’ meows.
19. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Users consider the app very practical.
B. Users can help promote the app.
C. Dreizin thinks the app is the most accurate.
D. The program has analyzed billions of meows.
20. What’s Charlotte’s attitude to this kind of apps?
A. Doubtful. B. Conservative. C. Intolerant. D. Disapproving.
21. Which of the following can be implied from the text?
A. MeowTalk app is mainly driven by the curiosity of computer scientists.
B. MeowTalk app indicates a trend towards more intelligent pet-related technology.
C. Technology will completely change the way cat owners interact with their pets.
D. High-tech products are of little use in solving the real problems of cat owners.
D
You might not think that an AI capable of making music would stimulate your emotion, but others think differently, particularly those who gathered at Mexico City’s Symphony Hall in 2019 for Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, which I finished using melodies generated by an AI.
As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.
Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.
Enjoyment in music implies that there’s something in the music that the listener connects to, a perception of shared emotion. But, in the case of AI music, an emotion shared with who? AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.
No matter how it’s created, music doesn’t exist in a vacuum (真空) to the listener. The meaning we assign to music depends on its context — how the piece connects to other elements in our lives. Without context, music is like the results of a game whose rules have been lost. The context for a music is part of who you are. The music is emotional to you because you have the context to appreciate it. As it continues to evolve, AI music will develop its own context. Certainly, it’ll be different from human-made music. It’ll mix existing genres to create new ones; it’ll combine instruments that we wouldn’t think of combining. Its rules will be different.
I’m now always asked the same question: “Who put the emotion in that music: you, the composer, or the AI?” But that’s not the question they really want to ask, though. There’s a deeper question that most people are too afraid to ask right now: “Are my emotions so simple that they can be maneuvered by a machine?”
In my experience, this could be possible one day. If a modestly capable music AI in 2019 could stir up emotions of an audience, maybe AI can have a more powerful effect on our emotional lives than we’d like to admit.
22. The audience reacted strongly to the symphony mainly due to ______.
A. their doubts about AI’s capabilities B. their uneasiness about AI’s influence
C. the orchestra’s brilliant presentation of AI music D. the likeness between AI music and the original work
23. What might the author agree with?
A. AI poses little impact on people’s emotions.
B. Music bears no intended emotional meaning.
C. AI music will outperform human-made music.
D. The context reflects people’s interpretation of music.
24. What does the word “maneuvered” underlined in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A. Refreshed. B. Challenged. C. Revealed. D. Directed.
25. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Are Composers To Be Replaced? B. Would AI Music Be a Rising Trend?
C. Could AI Make Music That Moves You? D. Was the Unfinished Symphony Successful?

On a full-moon night in 1988, a young park keeper named Bruce Barnes paddled a boat into the wetlands of Louisiana’s Barataria Preserve. It was 2 a. m. when he pulled out his instrument and played it attentively. First, Barnes recalled, the frogs joined in. Then the turtles approached. Several of them stayed at the boat’s edge as he sang for them during the next two hours.
Barnes, now 61, is known today as a musician. He is also a naturalist who spends most of his career working for the National Park Service. His early interest in the natural world led him to major in biology at Henderson State University and to start working at national parks as an undergraduate. He arrived at Barataria in 1987 when he was 23. Barnes surveyed the park’s plants and animals and led daytime boat trips. Hours after sunset, he returned to the water by himself.
For Barnes, music and nature don’t inhabit separately. Louisiana’s rhythms, he says, are as place-specific as its marshes and forests. The wetlands even produce their own music. Barnes has visited Barataria at night with a sound engineer, capturing wildlife sounds to weave into his recordings.
Barnes retired from the National Park Service in 2015. He still plays music full time, and he remains a naturalist, leading walking tours and photographing medicinal plants. Some of those photographs are currently on display in New Orleans.
Plants and music, to Barnes, all have magic power. In his adopted home, they are never far from each other. “When you roll into New Orleans, you can hear some of the world’s greatest music,” he says. “And you can get in your car and drive 25 minutes and be in the wetlands, completely surrounded by nature and water, and feel like you’re 1,000 miles from civilization.”
14. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By listing some figures. B. By giving some examples.
C. By describing a scene. D. By comparing two situations.
15. What does the underlined word “inhabit” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Exist. B. Unite. C. Form. D. Originate.
16. Which words can best describe Barnes?
A. Adventurous and outgoing. B. Nature-loving and artistic.
C. Determined and independent. D. Creative and generous.
17. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. A hidden musical world in Barataria. B. The secrets of Barataria’s wetlands.
C. The role of music in Barataria’s wildlife. D. A park keeper’s passion for nature and music.
【答案】14. C 15. A 16. B 17. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是前国家公园管理员Bruce Barnes将他对自然的热爱与音乐才华融合,展现其独特的生活哲学和艺术追求。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“On a full-moon night in 1988, a young park keeper named Bruce Barnes paddled a boat into the wetlands of Louisiana’s Barataria Preserve. It was 2 a. m. when he pulled out his instrument and played it attentively.(1988年的一个满月之夜,一位名叫Bruce Barnes的年轻公园管理员划船进入了路易斯安那州巴塔里亚保护区的湿地。凌晨2点时,他拿出乐器,专心致志地演奏起来。)”可知,作者描绘了Bruce Barnes在一个满月夜晚划船进入湿地的具体情景,从而引出了故事的主题,由此可知,本文是通过描述一个场景来引入话题。故选C项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“Louisiana’s rhythms, he says, are as place-specific as its marshes and forests. The wetlands even produce their own music. Barnes has visited Barataria at night with a sound engineer, capturing wildlife sounds to weave into his recordings.(他说,路易斯安那州的节奏与其沼泽和森林一样具有地方特色。湿地甚至会产出它们自己的音乐。Barnes曾在夜间与一位声音工程师一起访问巴塔里亚,捕捉野生动物的声音,并将这些声音编织进他的录音作品中。)”可知,在他看来,音乐与沼泽和森林一样具有地方特色,湿地会产出自己的音乐,他还和音乐工程师将野生动物的声音编进音乐中,由此可知,大自然和音乐是分不开的,也就是不会单独存在,所以划线单词与“存在”的意义相近。故选A项。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Barnes, now 61, is known today as a musician. He is also a naturalist who spends most of his career working for the National Park Service.(如今61岁的Barnes作为一名音乐家而为人所知。他同时也是一位自然学家,职业生涯的大部分时间都在国家公园管理局工作。)”以及倒数第二段中的“Barnes retired from the National Park Service in 2015. He still plays music full time, and he remains a naturalist, leading walking tours and photographing medicinal plants.(Barnes于2015年从国家公园管理局退休。他现在仍然全职演奏音乐,并持续作为一名自然学家,带领徒步旅行团和拍摄药用植物的照片。)”可知,Barnes的职业生涯是在国家公园服务,同时他也是个音乐家;此外,退休后他仍然演奏音乐,带领徒步旅行团,拍摄药用植物的照片等,都显示了他对自然和艺术的热爱,所以Barnes是热爱自然且富有艺术细胞。故选B项。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中的“On a full-moon night in 1988, a young park keeper named Bruce Barnes paddled a boat into the wetlands of Louisiana’s Barataria Preserve.(1988年的一个满月之夜,一位名叫Bruce Barnes的年轻公园管理员划船进入了路易斯安那州巴塔里亚保护区的湿地。)”以及倒数第二段中的“Barnes retired from the National Park Service in 2015. He still plays music full time, and he remains a naturalist, leading walking tours and photographing medicinal plants.(Barnes于2015年从国家公园管理局退休。他现在仍然全职演奏音乐,并持续作为一名自然学家,带领徒步旅行团和拍摄药用植物的照片。)”和最后一段中的“Plants and music, to Barnes, all have magic power. Plants and music, to Barnes, all have magic power. In his adopted home, they are never far from each other.(对Barnes来说,植物和音乐都有魔力。对Barnes来说,植物和音乐都有魔力。在他的第二故乡,他们从不远离彼此。)”可知,本文通过描述一个场景引出全文的主题,从Barnes在Barataria的工作经历开始,到他退休后依然坚持音乐创作和自然探索,体现了他对自然和音乐不变的热爱,由此可知,本文主要讲述了公园管理员对自然和音乐的热情。故选D项。
C
Sometimes, what my seven-year-old tabby cat Ophelia wants is obvious. Crying in front of her empty food bowl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk of starvation. Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.
The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by AI. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app records your feline’s meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, like “I’m annoyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy of the translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. “We’re the largest collectors of meows in this galaxy,” he jokes.
The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word “play”.
Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. “If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats,” she says.
18. How can computer scientists at Akvelon help cat owners?
A. By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B. By getting cats rid of starvation.
C. By filling the empty food bowls.
D. By solving the mysteries of cats’ meows.
19. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Users consider the app very practical.
B. Users can help promote the app.
C. Dreizin thinks the app is the most accurate.
D. The program has analyzed billions of meows.
20. What’s Charlotte’s attitude to this kind of apps?
A. Doubtful. B. Conservative. C. Intolerant. D. Disapproving.
21. Which of the following can be implied from the text?
A. MeowTalk app is mainly driven by the curiosity of computer scientists.
B. MeowTalk app indicates a trend towards more intelligent pet-related technology.
C. Technology will completely change the way cat owners interact with their pets.
D. High-tech products are of little use in solving the real problems of cat owners.
【答案】18. D 19. B 20. A 21. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款名为MeowTalk的应用程序,该程序旨在通过分析猫的叫声来帮助猫主人理解宠物的需求,同时提到了其他旨在帮助人类与宠物沟通的技术,以及一位猫行为学家对此类产品的看法。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs. (他们是MeowTalk应用程序背后的开发者,该应用程序旨在“为猫主人提供可用的最佳工具”,以解读宠物的需求)”以及第一段最后一句“Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery. (然而,其他时候,她的叫声完全是个谜)”可知,Akvelon的计算机科学家通过开发MeowTalk应用程序来帮助猫主人解读猫叫声的奥秘,从而理解宠物的需求。故选D项。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Users can rate the accuracy of the translations, which further improves the computer model. (用户可以对翻译的准确性进行评分,这进一步改进了计算机模型)”以及“Launched in 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. (该应用程序于2020年推出,下载量已超过2000万次,Dreizin估计,到目前为止,该程序已经分析了超过10亿次猫叫声)”可推知,用户可以通过对翻译准确性的评分来帮助改进应用程序,从而间接促进了应用程序的推广。故选B项。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. (猫行为学家和沟通专家Charlotte de Mouzon并不相信这些产品的准确性,但是加强你和猫的关系总是一个明智的目标)”可推知,Charlotte对这类应用程序持怀疑态度。故选A项。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. (这款应用程序是一系列旨在帮助我们与毛茸茸的朋友交流的技术中的一部分)”以及下文提到的FluentPet等其他技术可推知,MeowTalk应用程序表明了一种朝着更智能的宠物相关技术发展的趋势。故选B项。
D
You might not think that an AI capable of making music would stimulate your emotion, but others think differently, particularly those who gathered at Mexico City’s Symphony Hall in 2019 for Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, which I finished using melodies generated by an AI.
As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.
Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.
Enjoyment in music implies that there’s something in the music that the listener connects to, a perception of shared emotion. But, in the case of AI music, an emotion shared with who? AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.
No matter how it’s created, music doesn’t exist in a vacuum (真空) to the listener. The meaning we assign to music depends on its context — how the piece connects to other elements in our lives. Without context, music is like the results of a game whose rules have been lost. The context for a music is part of who you are. The music is emotional to you because you have the context to appreciate it. As it continues to evolve, AI music will develop its own context. Certainly, it’ll be different from human-made music. It’ll mix existing genres to create new ones; it’ll combine instruments that we wouldn’t think of combining. Its rules will be different.
I’m now always asked the same question: “Who put the emotion in that music: you, the composer, or the AI?” But that’s not the question they really want to ask, though. There’s a deeper question that most people are too afraid to ask right now: “Are my emotions so simple that they can be maneuvered by a machine?”
In my experience, this could be possible one day. If a modestly capable music AI in 2019 could stir up emotions of an audience, maybe AI can have a more powerful effect on our emotional lives than we’d like to admit.
22. The audience reacted strongly to the symphony mainly due to ______.
A. their doubts about AI’s capabilities B. their uneasiness about AI’s influence
C. the orchestra’s brilliant presentation of AI music D. the likeness between AI music and the original work
23. What might the author agree with?
A. AI poses little impact on people’s emotions.
B. Music bears no intended emotional meaning.
C. AI music will outperform human-made music.
D. The context reflects people’s interpretation of music.
24. What does the word “maneuvered” underlined in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A. Refreshed. B. Challenged. C. Revealed. D. Directed.
25. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Are Composers To Be Replaced? B. Would AI Music Be a Rising Trend?
C. Could AI Make Music That Moves You? D. Was the Unfinished Symphony Successful?
【答案】22. B 23. B 24. D 25. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能是否能创作出富含情感的音乐的问题,论述了作者对于音乐中情感的看法。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.(当管弦乐队演奏完舒伯特的原创作品,开始演奏人工智能和我共同创作的音乐时,我能感觉到观众的情绪从惊讶转变为愤怒和恐惧。他们似乎担心人工智能可能会创作出充满情感的交响乐。你可以看到他们的观点:一个制作情感音乐的人工智能可以以一种微小但深刻的方式影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,就像一个人类音乐家一样。)”可知,观众之所以对交响曲反应强烈,主要是因为对人工智能的影响感到不安。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.(到目前为止,人工智能还没有情感。那么,没有情感作曲家的音乐有什么意义呢?令人不满意的答案是,音乐没有客观意义。作曲家可以决定一段音乐的声音,但听众可以决定它的意义。)”可知,作者可能会同意音乐没有预期的情感含义。故选B。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.(你可以看到他们的观点:一个制作情感音乐的人工智能可以以一种微小但深刻的方式影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,就像一个人类音乐家一样。)”以及划线词上文“Are my emotions so simple that they can be”和后文“by a machine”可知,人工智能制作的音乐可以影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,所以大多数人不敢问的问题是:我的情绪是否简单到可以被机器操纵?故划线词意思是“操纵”,与D选项Directed“指示,指导”意思最接近。故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.(不管是正面还是负面,人们对AI的交响乐首演反应非常强烈。尽管大多数人不相信人工智能可以创造出令人愉快的东西,但他们(至少在一定程度上)确实喜欢《未完成的交响曲》)”结合文章主要讨论了人工智能是否能创作出富含情感的音乐的问题,论述了作者对于音乐中情感的看法。可知,C选项“人工智能能做出打动你的音乐吗?”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了敦煌这一旅游目的地的历史、文化和自然景观。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意:对敦煌丰富多彩的历史感兴趣的人会被莫高窟吸引,莫高窟是这座城市的主要景点之一。be interested in…是固定搭配,意为“对……感兴趣”。故填in。
【47题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:每个洞穴的入口都被一扇锁着的门堵住了,只有专业的导游才能打开。分析句子可知,block“阻塞”是句中谓语动词,与主语The entrance“入口”之间是被动关系,描述客观事实,应使用一般现在时态,又因主语是单数名词,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。故填is blocked。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:在这些门的后面是大小不一的洞穴,从很小的到巨大的。可数名词size意为“大小,尺寸”,有限定词all修饰,用复数形式。故填sizes。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:洞穴里有成千上万无价的手稿和丝绸画,它们一经发现,就引起了人们对该地区的极大关注。设空处作宾语,用不可数名词attention;draw attention to…“引起对……的注意”。故填attention。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:要看这令人难以置信的景色,你必须早起。catch this incredible scene是rise early的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填To catch。
【51题详解】
考查副词。句意:但当太阳从金色的沙丘上升起,描绘出一幅真正如画的景色时,你所有的努力都得到了回报。提示词修饰形容词picturesque,用副词truly作状语,意为“真正地”。故填truly。
【52题详解】
考查连词。句意:从骆驼上下来,走上一个相当陡峭的沙丘,俯瞰新月湖。Get off the camels和walk up a rather steep dune是顺承关系,用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【53题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从这个被认为是最好的位置,不可思议的日落是令人敬畏的。regard as the best one作非限制性后置定语,regard“认为,把……看作”是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语position之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填regarded。
【54题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:不去敦煌博物馆,你的敦煌之旅就不完整,在那里,你可以把这座城市的所有历史遗迹都置于适当的历史背景中。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词the Dunhuang Museum作补充说明,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,表示“在敦煌”,应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【55题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:博物馆很宽敞,包含许多原创艺术品。contain many original artworks作伴随状语,contain“包含”是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语The museum之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填containing。

【答案】A Story of Humility: Kong Rong Giving Up the Bigger Pear
Kong Rong, a young boy in ancient China, was known for his humility. One day, his family received a plate of pears. Instead of choosing the largest one, Kong Rong picked the smallest pear for himself, leaving the bigger ones for his brothers. When asked why, he replied, “I am younger, so I should take the smaller one.”
This story teaches us the importance of humility and selflessness. Kong Rong’s actions reflect his respect for others and his willingness to put others’ needs before his own. It reminds us that even small acts of kindness can demonstrate great moral character.
From this story, I learn that true virtue lies in our daily choices. It inspires me to be more considerate and generous in my interactions with others, showing that humility is a timeless value worth practicing. Just like a gentle breeze that softens the hardest edges, humility brings warmth and harmony to our relationships, creating a world where kindness flourishes and understanding prevails.
A Tale of Perseverance: The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains
The story of the Foolish Old Man tells of an elderly man who decided to remove two huge mountains blocking his village. Despite being mocked by others, he persevered, believing that his efforts would benefit future generations. His determination eventually moved the gods, who helped him achieve his goal.
The story highlights the power of perseverance and determination. It shows that no matter how difficult a task may seem, consistent effort and a strong will can lead to success. The Foolish Old Man’s actions reveal that even the most daunting challenges can be overcome with persistence.
This story inspires me to face challenges with courage and determination. It teaches me that hard work and perseverance are essential for achieving long-term goals, and that we should never give up in the face of adversity. As Victor Hugo once said, “People do not lack strength; they lack will.”
A Story of Loyalty: The Legend of Yue Fei’s Tattoo
The story of Yue Fei tells of a famous general in the Song Dynasty who was deeply loyal to his country. His mother tattooed the words “Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty” on his back to remind him of his duty. Throughout his life, Yue Fei fought bravely against invaders and remained steadfast in his loyalty, even when falsely accused and imprisoned.
This inspiring story emphasizes the value of loyalty and patriotism. Yue Fei’s unwavering dedication to his country, even in the face of injustice, serves as a powerful example of selflessness and integrity. It highlights that true loyalty requires courage and sacrifice.
The story serves as a reminder that loyalty is not limited to one’s country but also applies to family, friends, and personal principles. What strikes me most about this story is how loyalty, as a guiding principle, should influence our actions even when confronted with difficulties.
