Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,共10分)
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(复杂的) 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 MusicLM hasn’t been released for public use,Google announced it was releasing a “high-quality dataset” 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,主要介绍了谷歌开发的名为MusicLM的人工智能工具,该工具可以根据书面描述创作音乐。
1.Which instruction may help create the most accurate music by MusicLM?
A.Rock and roll.
B.A piano piece to uplift one’s spirits.
C.Eastern music.
D.A mixed sound of guitar and violin.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The team said that the more detailed the description is,the better the system can attempt to produce it.”可知,描述越详细,系统越能更好地尝试生成音乐,结合选项可推知,B项(一首振奋精神的钢琴曲)描述得最详细。故选B。
2.Why did Google 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 music-writing service.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Google announced it was releasing a ‘high-quality dataset’...The researchers took that step to assist in the development of other AI music generators”可知,谷歌发布MusicCaps数据集是为了帮助开发其他AI音乐生成器。故选C。
3.What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph?
A.Problems about the new tool.
B.Advantages of using MusicLM.
C.Background of the research team.
D.Application of AI technology.
答案 A

4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.MusicCaps behaves in human-like ways.
B.AI makes music accessible to ordinary people.
C.Musicians recognize the true value of MusicLM.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作曲家的助手的工作内容及意义。
1.答案 easier
解析 考查形容词比较级。根据句意可知,助手的帮助会让作曲家的工作变得更容易,所以此处应用形容词的比较级。故填easier。
2.答案 to complete
解析 考查非谓语动词。require sb/sth to do sth,固定搭配。故填to complete。
3.答案 does
解析 考查动词时态和主谓一致。who指代先行词member,是第三人称单数,在定语从句中作主语,故谓语动词用单数;描述客观事实,应用一般现在时。故填does。
4.答案 smoothly
解析 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词running。故填smoothly。
5.答案 is approaching
解析 考查动词时态和主谓一致。when引导时间状语从句,从句缺少谓语动词;主语a deadline是第三人称单数,故谓语动词也用单数形式;结合句意可知,此处应用现在进行时表示将来。故填is approaching。
6.答案 Working
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子缺少主语,且此处表示“作为作曲家的助手工作”,应用动名词作主语,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Working。
7.答案 are treated
解析 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,此处是谓语动词,主语Most helpers为复数,和谓语treat之间是被动关系,且此处描述客观事实,故用一般现在时的被动语态,助动词应用are。故填are treated。
8.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。team是单数可数名词,此处表泛指,前面用不定冠词,且developed的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
9.答案 on
解析 考查介词。此处指“在……网站上”,用介词on。故填on。
10.答案 whose
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,composer是先行词,指人,空处在定语从句中作work的定语,应用whose引导定语从句。故填whose。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,共20分)

Being called “nerd(书呆子,宅人)” was a bad thing in the past.
That is happily different now,says Sarah Jane,director at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center,which is home to the exhibit “Obsessed:The Art of Nerd-dom” through March 15.“I think the majority of my friends are nerdier than I am,” she said,“and I mean that in a ‘my friends are cooler than I am’ kind of way.”
Jane said the development of the Internet certainly helped blossom(兴旺),connecting people with shared interests across geographies.Now,it’s almost mainstream—exhibitions of nerd culture(宅文化) fill convention halls,comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster(重磅) movies,and more.
“It has made being a nerd less of an isolating experience,and more of a community experience because you’re connecting with other people who have that shared interest,” she said.
Holladay,the co-curator(副馆长),spoke up in a meeting about what the coming exhibition season would look like.“I knew of another nerdy exhibition that had happened in LA recently...and I just thought ‘you know,I bet there are nerdy artists on the(Olympic)Peninsula and in Washington who have really quality work,where the subject matter might not fit into most exhibits’,” she said.
And she wasn’t surprised when they received plenty of recommendations.“My theory was that nerds are everywhere,” she said.“Once I got in touch with the right people,everyone was coming out of the woodwork.”
The exhibit features comic art,and things like Pokemon cards arranged in a collage(拼贴画).One work invites viewers to imagine the unique talents and abilities they have as superpowers they bring to the world.Holladay says the evolution of the idea of nerd culture has been positive over the past several years.

In 2014,Xu Yitang,a Beijing native who had been studying Peking Opera since childhood,went with friends for a birthday celebration to Beijing Zoo.Little did he know that a chance encounter at the aquarium there would excite a lifelong passion.As Xu Yitang stared at corals bathed in tank’s light,a sense of wonder crowded into his mind.Lost in the beauty and mystery of the creatures,he spent the entire afternoon in front of it.After that,he began to frequent the local market to learn about coral farming from merchants who sell ornamental plants,fish and corals.He also searched for information on relevant forums online.Before long,he had set up a small fish tank at home and started cultivating a coral.
Nowadays,Xu Yitang,who has moved to the tropical island of South China’s Hainan Province,works for a Sanya-based tropical biological laboratory belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Each day,he spends several hours diving deep under the waves to observe and document the growth and development of the creatures that captured his heart all those years ago.Nicknamed “coral man”,he is actively engaged on such social media platforms as Sina Weibo,where he regularly shares visually beautiful photos and entertaining videos of corals.He aims to encourage individuals to take action in protecting coral reefs and the oceans as a whole from the destructive impact of climate change and human activities.
Unfortunately,with the strengthening of the greenhouse effect,rising sea temperatures have led to coral bleaching(白化) and decay.A coral reef’s beautiful colors come from the symbiotic algae(共生藻类) zooxanthellae that provide more than 90 percent of the energy through photosynthesis(光合作用).Coral bleaching occurs when coral expels the algae and dies due to the lack of nutrients.
In the laboratory,he would film educational videos to raise awareness and knowledge about corals,so that people can learn how to protect them effectively.
