When she’d finished, Mi-Eun Kim, a pianist and lecturer at MIT, asked her to move to the back of the hall. Kim tapped at an iPad. Suddenly, the music Wang had just played poured forth again from the piano — its keys sinking and rising just as they had with Wang’s fingers on them. Wang stood with a confused expression, taking in a repeat of her own performance. This unusual lesson took place during a three-week residency (驻留期) of the Steinway Spirio|r, a piano that obtains the data of live performances and offers students new possibilities for studying and experimenting with music. Wang was one of several participants to have the experience of hearing herself play while watching the data of her performance move up and down across a screen: color-coded rectangles (矩形) indicating the speed and duration of each note, and a moving line charting her use of the damper pedal (阻尼踏板). Wang could even edit her own performance when Kim suggested her rhythmic use of the pedal might be unnecessary. Using the iPad interface to erase the pedaling entirely, they listened to the playback again, the notes gaining new clarity, For Wang, the session introduced an element she’d never experienced since beginning her piano studies. The visual display of how long each key was played and with what speed gave her a more precise demonstration of the ideas of voicing and evenness. Playing the piano is one of the most complex activities that humans do with their hands. Some people might think the new technology will replace the pianist. In Kim’s view, that human complexity is complemented by this kind of technical possibility. But it doesn’t mean all of the things that go into learning music will be abandoned. It’s going to be an invaluable third partner: the student, the teacher, and the Spirio|r. It’s going to play a necessary role in lots of musical efforts. 4. What happened after Jacqueline Wang finished her performance? A. Her teacher played a piece of music to compete against her. B. She got her performance reviewed on the Spirio|r. C. She was asked to comment on her performance. D. Her teacher instructed her to improve her skills. 5. What can we say about the new piano technology? A. It is difficult to operate. B. It needs to be more intelligent. C. It might reveal users’ privacy. D. It is beneficial for students’ learning. 6. What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph? A. The music world is full of uncertainties. B. Technology cannot replace human pianists. C. There won’t be fiercer competition among pianists. D. Pianists should be updated with the latest technology. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Making Full Use of MIT’s Program B. The Evolution of Musical Instruments C Exploring Music with the Steinway Spirio|r D. The Challenges of Learning a New Instrument 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院（MIT）使用的一台特殊钢琴——Steinway Spirio|r，它能够通过获取现场表演的数据，为学生提供学习和实验音乐的新可能性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Seated at the grand piano in MIT’s Killian Hall last fall, first-year student Jacqueline Wang played one piece of Mozart’s music. When she’d finished, Mi-Eun Kim, a pianist and lecturer at MIT, asked her to move to the back of the hall. Kim tapped at an iPad. Suddenly, the music Wang had just played poured forth again from the piano - its keys sinking and rising just as they had with Wang’s fingers on them.(去年秋天，麻省理工学院基利安音乐厅的一年级学生Jacqueline Wang坐在大钢琴前演奏了一首莫扎特的作品。她演奏完后，麻省理工学院(MIT)讲师、钢琴家Mi-Eun Kim请她搬到大厅后面去。Kim敲击了一下iPad。突然间，王刚弹奏的乐曲又从钢琴上流出来——琴键的上下起伏，就像他们在王刚的手指上弹奏时那样。)”以及文章第三段“Wang was one of several participants to have the experience of hearing herself play while watching the data of her performance move up and down across a screen: color-coded rectangles (矩形) indicating the speed and duration of each note, and a moving line charting her use of the damper pedal (阻尼踏板).(Wang是几个参与者之一，她一边听自己演奏，一边看着她的演奏数据在屏幕上上下移动：用颜色编码的矩形表示每个音符的速度和持续时间，用一条移动的线表示她使用阻尼踏板的情况。)”可知，当Jacqueline Wang演奏完莫扎特的音乐后，她的老师Mi-Eun Kim请她走到大厅后面，并使用iPad使Spirio|r钢琴再次播放了她刚刚演奏的音乐。这个钢琴能够获取现场表演的数据，并在屏幕上展示这些数据，如彩色编码的矩形表示每个音符的速度和持续时间，以及一条移动线记录了她使用阻尼踏板的情况。因此，Wang的表演在Spirio|r上得到了回顾和分析。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“For Wang, the session introduced an element she’d never experienced since beginning her piano studies. The visual display of how long each key was played and with what speed gave her a more precise demonstration of the ideas of voicing and evenness.(对王来说，这节课引入了一种她开始学习钢琴以来从未体验过元素。每个琴键播放的时间和速度的视觉显示，让她更准确地展示了声音和均匀的概念。)”以及最后一段“In Kim’s view, that human complexity is complemented by this kind of technical possibility. But it doesn’t mean all of the things that go into learning music will be abandoned. It’s going to be an invaluable third partner: the student, the teacher, and the Spirio|r. It’s going to play a necessary role in lots of musical efforts(在Kim看来，人类的复杂性得到了这种技术可能性的补充。但这并不意味着学习音乐的所有东西都将被抛弃。它将成为一个无价的第三方伙伴：学生、老师和Spirio|r钢琴。它将在许多音乐努力中发挥必要的作用。)”可知，Steinway Spirio|r这架特殊钢琴的功能，它能够获取现场表演的数据并在屏幕上显示这些数据，如音符的速度、持续时间和阻尼踏板的使用情况。这种技术使学生能够更精确地了解自己的演奏情况，从而有助于他们的学习。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Some people might think the new technology will replace the pianist. In Kim’s view, that human complexity is complemented by this kind of technical possibility. But it doesn’t mean all of the things that go into learning music will be abandoned. It’s going to be an invaluable third partner: the student, the teacher, and the Spirio|r. It’s going to play a necessary role in lots of musical efforts.(有些人可能认为新技术将取代钢琴家。在Kim看来，人类的复杂性得到了这种技术可能性的补充。但这并不意味着学习音乐的所有东西都将被抛弃。它将成为一个无价的第三方伙伴：学生、老师和Spirio|r钢琴。它将在许多音乐努力中发挥必要的作用。)”可知，这表明作者认为技术虽然提供了新的可能性，但它并不能取代人类钢琴家的角色。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“This unusual lesson took place during a three-week residency(驻留期) of the Steinway Spirio|r, a piano that obtains the data of live performances and offers students new possibilities for studying and experimenting with music.(这一不同寻常的课程是在为期三周的Steinway Spirio|r钢琴驻留期间进行的。Steinway Spirio|r是一架钢琴，它可以获得现场表演的数据，并为学生提供学习和实验音乐的新可能性。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕Steinway Spirio|r这架特殊的钢琴展开，介绍了它的功能以及它如何为学生提供学习和实验音乐的新可能性。特别是在最后一段，文章明确提到了这架钢琴将在音乐学习和演奏中发挥重要的作用。而标题C“Exploring Music with the Steinway Spirio|r（用Steinway Spirio|r来探索音乐）”正好捕捉了文章的核心内容。故选C。 C Reunions offer a chance to reflect on how much has changed. One happened in Hollywood when Here premiered (首映), bringing together the actors, director and writer behind Forrest Gump 40 years later for a new film. The stars were “de-aged” using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting. With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching. The first is how AI will be used to tell new types of stories, as storytelling becomes more personalised and interactive. No one is quite sure how the nature of storytelling will change, but it is sure to. David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters. Cristóbal Valenzuela, who runs a company providing AI-enhanced software, says AI is like a “new kind of camera”, offering a fresh “opportunity to reimagine what stories are like”. Both are right. Another big development to watch is how AI will be used as a time-saving tool. Generative AI will automate and simplify complex tasks like film-editing and special effects. For a glimpse of the future, watch Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2023. It featured a scene that used a “rotoscoping” tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing. What is also noticeable is more dramatic conflicts between creators and those running AI platforms. This year is likely to bring floods of lawsuits (诉讼) from authors, musicians and actors about how their works have been used to train AI systems without permission or payment. Perhaps they can agree on some sort of licensing arrangement, in which AI companies start paying copyright-holders. It will probably be a few years before a full-length film is produced entirely by AI, but it is just a matter of time. 8. What can we learn about the film Here? A. It relates a story about youth. B. The theme of the film is reunion. C. AI tools are employed in the film. D. It is adapted from Forrest Gump. 9. What does David think of AI’s application in film making? A. Transformative. B. Destructive. C. Representative. D. Irreplaceable. 10. Why does the author mention the film Everything Everywhere All at Once? A. To show the high efficiency of AI tools. B. To demonstrate the influence of the film. C. To analyse a novel way of video-editing. D. To praise the hard work behind the scenes. 11. What is the article mainly about? A. Conflicts between man and machine. B. AI’s huge effects on film production. C. Drawbacks of dependence on AI tools. D. Hot debate on the use of technology. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能工具开始应用于电影制作，并列举了两个值得关注重大发展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The stars were “de-aged” using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting. (这些明星使用新的人工智能工具“减龄”，使他们在某些场景中更年轻，并使制片人能够在拍摄时实时看到他们的变化)”可知，Here影片中使用了人工智能工具。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters.(电影历史学家大卫·汤姆森将生成式人工智能比作声音的出现。当电影不再是无声的时候，它改变了情节点的制作方式，也改变了观众与角色之间的联系)”可知，大卫认为人工智能在电影制作中的应用是变革性的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It featured a scene that used a “rotoscoping” tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing.(影片中有一个场景使用了“移动显微镜”工具来编辑绿幕背景，使会说话的石头更可信。它将原本可能需要几天时间的视频剪辑缩短到了几个小时)”可知，作者提到电影《Everything Everywhere All at Once》是为了展示人工智能工具的高效率。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching.(随着在电影制作中使用生成式人工智能，出现了一些值得观看的东西)”结合文章主要说明了人工智能工具开始应用于电影制作，并列举了两个值得关注的重大发展。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是人工智能对电影制作的巨大影响。故选B。 D Want to learn a new language or get A’s in college exams? Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory. A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning. Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning. Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested. Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity. The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately. Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned. According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying. But why? That’s one question the researchers have yet to answer. Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning. I’ve run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout. But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning. 12. What did the new study aim to explore? A. When exercise is best for learning. B. What biochemicals are good for health. C. How brainwaves should be measured. D. Which area of the brain is the most active. 13. What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment? A. Train on bicycles. B. Do mathematics exercises. C. Play computer games. D. Watch films about nature. 14. Why did the participants return to the lab two days later? A. To do a medical examination. B. To have their memory tested. C. To get their workouts recorded. D. To finish their previous tasks. 15. What might the author’s marathon running prove? A. The findings of the study are reliable. B. Long-distance runners are often smart. C. Studies on the marathon are not enough. D. Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究——锻炼可以帮助刺激大脑将新信息转化为长期记忆的区域，以及进行锻炼以最大程度提高学习的最佳时间。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.(一项新的研究更进一步，找到了锻炼有助于最大化学习效果的最佳时间)”可知，新研究旨在探索什么时候锻炼最有利于学习。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries(测试后，所有受试者都观看了自然纪录片)”可知，实验要求所有受试者在实验过程中观看自然纪录片。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test(两天后，所有参与者返回实验室进行回忆测试)”可知，参与者两天后返回实验室是为了进行记忆测试。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.(我已经跑了足够多的马拉松来证明这样一个事实：在艰苦的锻炼过程中或之后，我的大脑一点也不敏锐)”可知，作者通过自己跑马拉松的经历证明，剧烈的锻炼可能不会使大脑变得敏锐。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____17____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 【答案】16 C 17. G 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对音乐为什么总是会唤起人们的某些回忆进行了解释。 【16题详解】 根据前文“It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past.(我们每个人都有过这样的经历：收音机里响起一首歌，我们立刻被传送回过去的某个时间。)”和后文“There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.(有一些东西可以将音乐与我们的记忆联系起来。)”可知，此处是指音乐是如何与我们的回忆联系在一起的，所以选项C“但是什么让音乐在这方面如此有效呢？”切合文意。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention.(音乐往往是许多重要生活事件的必要元素，它也非常有效地吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，此处是指因此音乐和生活事件有可能在我们的记忆里产生联系，所以选项G“音乐和这些生活事件很可能在我们的记忆中联系在一起。”切合文意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.(原因是我们更有可能一遍又一遍地听一首歌，而不是用同样的方式看电影或电视节目。)”可知，此处是指比起电影或电视节目等音乐更有可能唤起回忆，所以选项E“比起其他文化产品，这更适用于音乐。”切合文意。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.(她告诉我们，由于这一特点，在整个历史中，口头文化是如何通过歌曲将重要的知识代代相传的。歌词的节奏和韵律都可以帮助记忆。)”可知，此处是指音乐容易记忆，所以选项B“音乐本身很容易记住。”切合文意。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.(这一事实与许多专家所说的“怀旧性记忆”相吻合，即老年人（40岁以上）对青春期和成年早期发生的事件的回忆增加。)”可知，此处是指我们的音乐喜好通常形成于青少年时期，所以选项D“我们的音乐偏好通常在青少年时期形成。”切合文意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, we planned to ____21____ some interactive workshops with elderly residents to try to ____22____ memory and social engagement.

Grandma had always said that I was very good with her knitting needles and balls of yarn (纱线). But this winter she could hardly bend her fingers. The doctor said Grandma had arthritis (关节炎), suggesting she should keep her hands warm. I made her cups of tea to hold and moved her chair closer to the fire. However, her fingers were still difficult to move. I wasn’t used to seeing Grandma’s hands so still. In the morning, her hands were still in her lap. In the evening, her quiet hands even made her voice stay still. I tried to help her find her voice. “Grandma, tell me about when you were a little girl like before,” I begged, knowing she loved to tell interesting stories of her nine brothers and sisters and herself during their childhood. “That was so long ago, Jessica,” whispered Grandma. “I can barely remember.” This winter there were no hats with matching gloves or soft sweaters knitted by Grandma. But I missed her voice more than those. What about her sister Olga giving their snowman a bath in hot water? What about her brother Peti cutting off her doll’s beautiful hair and then hiding it? Were those words still moving silently in her head? After dinner, Grandma fell asleep in her rocking chair. Mom sorted through our knitting items, among which an old pair of gloves caught my attention. The gloves were Grandma’s favorite ones with the names of Grandma and her nine brothers and sisters on the fingertips. Each time she wore them, all her happy childhood memories would become very interesting stories in her mouth. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The gloves gave me an idea. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Grandma, shall we knit a new pair of gloves?” I asked hopefully. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version The gloves gave me an idea. I quietly put them in Grandma’s lap, waiting for her to wake up. It seemed that Grandma sensed what was happening and she opened her eyes. “Your family.” I said, softly touching her hands and handing the gloves to her. “Oh, Jessica. I almost forget them. Help me put them on.” Grandma’s eyes shone with excitement. The gloves had a magical effect on her and brought back all her childhood memories. The whole house was full of our laughter. “Grandma’s happy voice has come back, and how about our knitting?” I wanted to have a try. “Grandma, shall we knit a new pair of gloves?” I asked hopefully. There was a longing look on Grandma’s face. She paused for a second and then smiled, “Why not? My fingers can’t do what I tell them but yours can.” Happily picking up her knitting needles and a ball of yarn, I began to knit carefully, not only knitting a new pair of gloves, but also knitting a happy family. Seeing Grandma slowly moving her fingers back and forth inside the old gloves as she taught me, I had no idea whether her hands would recover, but I did believe our happy moments would be always there. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了奶奶的手因为关节炎无法弯曲手指，所以无法再进行编织了。为了不让奶奶感到遗憾，作者开始代替奶奶编织新的手套，两人度过了愉快的时光。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“手套给了我一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写奶奶带上了自己家人的手套，勾起了她所有的童年记忆。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘奶奶，我们织一副新手套好吗？’我满怀希望地问”可知，第二段可描写作者代替奶奶编织手套，两人度过愉快时光。 2.续写线索：想到主意——带上手套——提议编织手套——代替奶奶编织——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be full of /be filled with ②停下：pause/stop ③影响：have…effect on /influence 情绪类 ①渴望的：longing/eager ②快乐的：happy/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] My fingers can’t do what I tell them but yours can.

B Seated at the grand piano in MIT’s Killian Hall last fall, first-year student Jacqueline Wang played one piece of Mozart’s music. When she’d finished, Mi-Eun Kim, a pianist and lecturer at MIT, asked her to move to the back of the hall. Kim tapped at an iPad. Suddenly, the music Wang had just played poured forth again from the piano — its keys sinking and rising just as they had with Wang’s fingers on them. Wang stood with a confused expression, taking in a repeat of her own performance. This unusual lesson took place during a three-week residency (驻留期) of the Steinway Spirio|r, a piano that obtains the data of live performances and offers students new possibilities for studying and experimenting with music. Wang was one of several participants to have the experience of hearing herself play while watching the data of her performance move up and down across a screen: color-coded rectangles (矩形) indicating the speed and duration of each note, and a moving line charting her use of the damper pedal (阻尼踏板). Wang could even edit her own performance when Kim suggested her rhythmic use of the pedal might be unnecessary. Using the iPad interface to erase the pedaling entirely, they listened to the playback again, the notes gaining new clarity, For Wang, the session introduced an element she’d never experienced since beginning her piano studies. The visual display of how long each key was played and with what speed gave her a more precise demonstration of the ideas of voicing and evenness. Playing the piano is one of the most complex activities that humans do with their hands. Some people might think the new technology will replace the pianist. In Kim’s view, that human complexity is complemented by this kind of technical possibility. But it doesn’t mean all of the things that go into learning music will be abandoned. It’s going to be an invaluable third partner: the student, the teacher, and the Spirio|r. It’s going to play a necessary role in lots of musical efforts. 4. What happened after Jacqueline Wang finished her performance? A. Her teacher played a piece of music to compete against her. B. She got her performance reviewed on the Spirio|r. C. She was asked to comment on her performance. D Her teacher instructed her to improve her skills. 5. What can we say about the new piano technology? A. It is difficult to operate. B. It needs to be more intelligent. C. It might reveal users’ privacy. D. It is beneficial for students’ learning. 6. What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph? A. The music world is full of uncertainties. B. Technology cannot replace human pianists. C. There won’t be fiercer competition among pianists. D. Pianists should be updated with the latest technology. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Making Full Use of MIT’s Program B The Evolution of Musical Instruments C. Exploring Music with the Steinway Spirio|r D. The Challenges of Learning a New Instrument C Reunions offer a chance to reflect on how much has changed. One happened in Hollywood when Here premiered (首映), bringing together the actors, director and writer behind Forrest Gump 40 years later for a new film. The stars were “de-aged” using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting. With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching. The first is how AI will be used to tell new types of stories, as storytelling becomes more personalised and interactive. No one is quite sure how the nature of storytelling will change, but it is sure to. David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters. Cristóbal Valenzuela, who runs a company providing AI-enhanced software, says AI is like a “new kind of camera”, offering a fresh “opportunity to reimagine what stories are like”. Both are right. Another big development to watch is how AI will be used as a time-saving tool. Generative AI will automate and simplify complex tasks like film-editing and special effects. For a glimpse of the future, watch Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2023. It featured a scene that used a “rotoscoping” tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing. What is also noticeable is more dramatic conflicts between creators and those running AI platforms. This year is likely to bring floods of lawsuits (诉讼) from authors, musicians and actors about how their works have been used to train AI systems without permission or payment. Perhaps they can agree on some sort of licensing arrangement, in which AI companies start paying copyright-holders. It will probably be a few years before a full-length film is produced entirely by AI, but it is just a matter of time. 8. What can we learn about the film Here? A. It relates a story about youth. B. The theme of the film is reunion. C. AI tools are employed in the film. D. It is adapted from Forrest Gump. 9. What does David think of AI’s application in film making? A. Transformative. B. Destructive. C. Representative. D. Irreplaceable. 10. Why does the author mention the film Everything Everywhere All at Once? A. To show the high efficiency of AI tools. B. To demonstrate the influence of the film. C. To analyse a novel way of video-editing. D. To praise the hard work behind the scenes. 11. What is the article mainly about? A. Conflicts between man and machine. B. AI’s huge effects on film production. C. Drawbacks of dependence on AI tools. D. Hot debate on the use of technology. D Want to learn a new language or get A’s in college exams? Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory. A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning. Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning. Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested. Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity. The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately. Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned. According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying. But why? That’s one question the researchers have yet to answer. Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning. I’ve run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout. But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning. 12. What did the new study aim to explore? A. When exercise is best for learning. B. What biochemicals are good for health. C. How brainwaves should be measured. D. Which area of the brain is the most active. 13. What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment? A. Train on bicycles. B. Do mathematics exercises. C. Play computer games. D. Watch films about nature. 14. Why did the participants return to the lab two days later? A. To do a medical examination. B. To have their memory tested. C. To get their workouts recorded. D. To finish their previous tasks. 15. What might the author’s marathon running prove? A. The findings of the study are reliable. B. Long-distance runners are often smart. C. Studies on the marathon are not enough. D. Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.

The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, we planned to ____21____ some interactive workshops with elderly residents to try to ____22____ memory and social engagement.

Grandma had always said that I was very good with her knitting needles and balls of yarn (纱线). But this winter she could hardly bend her fingers. The doctor said Grandma had arthritis (关节炎), suggesting she should keep her hands warm. I made her cups of tea to hold and moved her chair closer to the fire. However, her fingers were still difficult to move. I wasn’t used to seeing Grandma’s hands so still. In the morning, her hands were still in her lap. In the evening, her quiet hands even made her voice stay still. I tried to help her find her voice. “Grandma, tell me about when you were a little girl like before,” I begged, knowing she loved to tell interesting stories of her nine brothers and sisters and herself during their childhood. “That was so long ago, Jessica,” whispered Grandma. “I can barely remember.” This winter there were no hats with matching gloves or soft sweaters knitted by Grandma. But I missed her voice more than those. What about her sister Olga giving their snowman a bath in hot water? What about her brother Peti cutting off her doll’s beautiful hair and then hiding it? Were those words still moving silently in her head? After dinner, Grandma fell asleep in her rocking chair. Mom sorted through our knitting items, among which an old pair of gloves caught my attention. The gloves were Grandma’s favorite ones with the names of Grandma and her nine brothers and sisters on the fingertips. Each time she wore them, all her happy childhood memories would become very interesting stories in her mouth. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The gloves gave me an idea. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Grandma, shall we knit a new pair of gloves?” I asked hopefully. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
