The song was eventually removed from streaming platforms， but not before sending a scare throughout the music industry about the future of artificial intelligence in music. Will AI replace pop stars？ 　　Many students argued that AI-generated music would not have the emotional pull of music made by humans. Aleena， a student from Philadelphia says， “Even if the lyrics imitate a real pop star’s， whether it talks about love or family， it would never have the same impact like one created by a real pop star because the listeners know it is all just to sound good and appeal to the listeners. I like listening to artists I know having gone through similar things or having the same feelings as me.” 　　Furthermore， pop stars often have a unique charm and talent that allows them to connect with their audience on a personal level， something that AI may struggle to copy. The music industry is also heavily influenced by marketing and public relations. The excitement of seeing your favorite artists onstage and singing along with them is what AI can’t achieve. This is not something that AI can replicate. 　　The use of AI in the music industry has the potential to revolutionize the way music is made and consumed. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to create personalized music for each and every person. AI can also help artists create new sounds. 1.What does the author want to convey by mentioning the song in the first paragraph？（　　） A.Artificial intelligence is widely used in daily life.

D.There are rich emotional expressions in their music. 3.What’s the author’s attitude to the use of AI in music production？（　　） A.Favorable.　　B.Intolerant. C.Doubtful.　　D.Objective. 4.What does the text mainly talk about？（　　） A.The fact that AI will fuel the music industry. B.The debate whether AI will replace the pop stars. C.The trend that AI will be used in the music field. D.The differences that exist between AI music and pop stars’ music. B 　　（2025·鄂东南省级高中联考）Tamara Hinson examines why space exploration developments shouldn’t just be of interest to astronauts — they’re helping to change our holidays， too. 　　In early May 2019， Blue Origin， the space exploration company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos， successfully launched and landed the rocket.Bezos plans to use for space tourism. In recent years， international space agencies and private space exploration companies have made huge leaps forward in their efforts to explore beyond planet Earth. This isn’t just good news for those of us with a burning desire to visit the Moon， see our planet from space or set up camp on Mars， and if you extremely like travelling， you’ll highly likely eventually benefit from developments relating to space exploration. By travelling in a spaceship sent into orbit， an eight-hour flight in a narrow airplane could become a 30-minute hop， while the entire planet could be circumnavigated in just 90 minutes. 　　Recent developments suggest such journeys might soon become reality， largely thanks to the number of privately-funded space exploration adventures， like Musk’s SpaceX. 　　“It’s not just about national space agencies any more and commercial companies all over the world are doing their own thing，” points out Bresnik， who admits to being surprised at the developments made in a relatively short space of time. “In the 1900s we had the first flight， and suddenly all these other people were building airplanes. And now， just over 100 years later， there are generations who think it’s perfectly normal to simply book a flight on their iPhone. And we’re at the same point with space flight； you’ll soon be able to go to space without being a professional astronaut.” 　　All of these developments and the research and testing which comes beforehand serve another purpose. They make getting to Mars — the little red dot our descendants （后代） could very well end up living on much easier， although there are still various obstacles. Bresnik states that he suspects a trip into space will soon be as simple as a trip to Disneyland even if the famous theme park has certain advantages， such as more reliable supplies of food， water， and oxygen， believing we’re close to overcoming all obstacles and pointing out that one potential solution would be to take seeds instead of food， and use regenerative techniques to reclaim water. 5.What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3？（　　） A.Bezos plans to use the rocket for space exploration. B.Space tourism lovers have set up camp on the Mars. C.Travelling by spaceship might largely shorten the travelling time. D.Musk’s SpaceX alone makes such space journeys become a reality. 6.Why is Bresnik surprised？（　　） A.Space exploration has made rapid progress. B.A trip into space will cost as much as an iPhone. C.People can go to space without being trained nowadays. D.Many commercial companies play a role in space tourism. 7.Which statement may Bresnik agree with？（　　） A.A trip into space is as simple as a trip to Disneyland. B.Growing crops might solve food problems in space. C.Space tourism can provide reliable food， water and oxygen. D.Living on the Mars is difficult for our descendants in the future. 8.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？（　　） A.Let’s Go to Mars for a Holiday！　　B.Are You Ready for Space Tourism？ C.Space Exploration Develops Rapidly　　D.Private Companies Contribute to Space Tourism 3 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
