I had neither musical talent — many ____1____ music lessons had proved that — nor musical training. My fingers ached as I tried to press down on the strings without making terrible noise. However, I worked my way hard through 2-, 3-and even 5-chord (和旋) songs and discovered the ____2____ thrills of these musical notes. No one ____3____ me to do this. I did this myself and of my own free will for a week, and the sense of happiness — true happiness ____4____ in absorption to something — has stayed with me. Fifty years later, that week’s self-directed practice became a model and foundation for almost every meaningful thing I have done since. It makes me understand the difference between achievement and accomplishment. The world favors achievement while ____5____ accomplishment. The former is the completion of the task from the outside — the ____6____ being a path to the next task. The latter is the end point of an activity we have chosen, whose bonus is the sudden ____7____ of happiness. The seeking of accomplishment always amazes people. I learned so long ago in that ____8____ week that simply lifting one finger from the guitar’s C chord, you should get the most moving ____9____ in tune.

While the procedure itself was fairly routine, the circumstances of the operation were extraordinary — as it was performed by a surgeon 1,500 miles away in London. Buxton, 62, is the first patient to benefit from remote robotic surgery in the UK and said that it was a “privilege to be part of medical history”. After being diagnosed with cancer shortly after Christmas, he was told that he would have to join the lengthy waiting list and travel to England for care. However, Buxton was given the opportunity to be the first patient have the treatment remotely and was operated on by a leading robotic surgeon, Professor Prokar Dasgupta, who sat at a console (控制台) in London. The console was connected to a surgical robot in Gibraltar with a camera attached. Surgical robots help smooth out shaky hand movements and can perform smaller and more precise incisions (切口) than the human hand. A team in Gibraltar were ready to take over as a precaution in case the connection dropped but Dasgupta said the operation went to plan and it was “almost as if I was there”. Dasgupta described the surgery as a “milestone” and said: “This is a historic moment. We operated on a patient in Gibraltar from The London Clinic 2,400km away using a robot. The robot is completely controlled from a console, using high-speed lines with a time delay of, would you believe it, only 0.06 seconds.” The technology could one day be widely used to improve treatment all over the world. “This is very good news for patients in Gibraltar and other remote areas. I think it is very, very exciting. The benefit is going to be significant,” he added. Since the “test run” on Buxton, Dasgupta has conducted remote surgery twice more and will perform the procedure again on March 14, the first live-streamed one. 24. What’s special about Buxton’s surgery? A. Its operation procedure was rare. B. It was operated by Dasgupta in person. C. It was a long-distance robotic surgery. D. It was performed by surgeons from different countries. 25. How is the surgery according to Dasgupta? A. Successful. B. Complicated. C. Routine. D. Eventful. 26. Why was a team in Gibraltar ready during the surgery? A. To assist Dasgupta with the operation. B. To witness the historic moment. C. To monitor the patient’s condition. D. To take over in case of technical failure. 27. What does the underlined phrase “test run” in the last paragraph mean? A. Standard operation. B. Pilot operation. C. Live operation. D. Simulated operation. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述62岁的保罗·巴克斯顿成为英国首位受益于远程机器人手术的患者，他在直布罗陀的医院，由1500英里外伦敦的外科医生通过远程机器人进行肿瘤切除手术。手术过程顺利，被视为一个里程碑。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While the procedure itself was fairly routine, the circumstances of the operation were extraordinary — as it was performed by a surgeon 1,500 miles away in London.(虽然手术过程本身相当常规，但手术的情况却非同寻常——因为它是由1500英里外伦敦的一位外科医生进行的)”以及第三段“However, Buxton was given the opportunity to be the first patient have the treatment remotely and was operated on by a leading robotic surgeon(然而，巴克斯顿有机会成为首位接受远程治疗的患者，并由一位顶尖的机器人外科医生为他做手术)”可知，巴克斯顿手术的特别之处在于这是一场远距离的机器人手术，故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Dasgupta described the surgery as a “milestone” and said: “This is a historic moment. We operated on a patient in Gibraltar from The London Clinic 2,400km away using a robot. The robot is completely controlled from a console, using high-speed lines with a time delay of, would you believe it, only 0.06 seconds.”(达斯古普塔将这次手术称为一座 “里程碑”，并表示：“这是一个历史性时刻。我们在伦敦诊所，为远在 2400 公里之外的直布罗陀患者实施了机器人手术。这台机器人完全通过控制台操控，借助高速线路运行，你敢相信吗？信号延迟仅有 0.06 秒。”)”可知，达斯古普塔认为这次手术很成功，故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A team in Gibraltar were ready to take over as a precaution in case the connection dropped(直布罗陀的一个团队做好了接管的准备，以防连接中断)”可知，直布罗陀的团队在手术期间待命是为了在出现技术故障（连接中断）时接管手术，故选D项。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Since the “test run” on Buxton, Dasgupta has conducted remote surgery twice more and will perform the procedure again on March 14, the first live-streamed one.(自从在巴克斯顿身上进行“test run”后，达斯古普塔又进行了两次远程手术，并将于3月14日再次进行该手术，这将是第一次直播手术)”，结合巴克斯顿是首位接受远程机器人手术的患者可知，这里的“test run”指的是首次进行的试验性手术，即试点手术，B选项“Pilot operation.（试点手术）”正确。故选B项。 C Cultural heritage is the symbol of our shared human history, including artifacts, traditions, languages, and knowledge that have been passed down through generations. Preserving and safeguarding cultural heritage has always been a critical mission. In the digital era, the mission has become a vital concern. Digitization of cultural content, such as museum collections or libraries, digital broadcasting of artistic performances, or digital born art and heritage are happening at a fast pace. While experiencing remarkable growth, the digital transformation presents unique challenges, such as the concerns about the cases where digital files may become unreadable or unusable due to outdated formats or hardware. However, this is not the biggest issue we encounter. The emergence of new digital cultural content has highlighted the limitations of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) systems in effectively handling the challenges posed by the digital era. In Europe, for instance, with the booming development of the digital gaming industry, some culture-related cases have raised specific IPR questions. Experts wonder if user-generated content from. digital games creates new copyright. The game itself is most often protected by copyright, but user-generated content, such as avatars (虚拟角色) created by players, is not necessarily covered by existing copyright laws. Another example is the inking culture of tattooing. In UK laws, an original tattoo is copyrightable work; however, it seems not to be the case for AI-generated tattoos. Both cases may lead to debates over ownership. As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules. Cultural heritage preservation lies in striking a delicate balance between conservation of the past and transition to the future. The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future. Furthermore, in the face of climate change, protecting cultural heritage becomes urgent as the world faces increasingly severe environmental challenges. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and temperature fluctuations threaten to destroy cultural artifacts and heritage sites. Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups (备份) to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies. All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history. 28. What is the biggest challenge digitization poses to cultural heritage protection? A. The misinterpretation of the digital transformation. B. The potential failure of digital culture’s long-term sustainability. C. The difficulty in connecting culture digitization to cultural integrity. D. The insufficiency of intellectual property policies for digital culture. 29. What situation may result from the “chilling effect” mentioned in the passage? A. Museums refuse to display the original items of cultural artifacts. B. Galleries tighten the policies for e-format culture exchanges. C. Libraries restrict access to digital books on culture relics. D. Schools offer less cultural heritage-related courses. 30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The necessity of protecting cultural heritage in digital forms. B. The significance of protecting cultural relics from natural damage. C. The possibility of using technology in cultural heritage preservation. D. The barrier of achieving both conservation and transition at the same time. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advocate addressing existing issues. B. To promote the use of modern technology. C. To analyse the origins of current challenges. D. To explore the impact of innovation on tradition. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨数字时代文化遗产保护面临的挑战及平衡创新与保护的必要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, this is not the biggest issue we encounter. The emergence of new digital cultural content has highlighted the limitations of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) systems in effectively handling the challenges posed by the digital era.(然而，这并不是我们遇到的最大问题。新的数字文化内容的出现凸显了现有知识产权体系在有效应对数字时代带来的挑战方面的局限性。)”可知，数字化给文化遗产保护带来的最大挑战是知识产权政策无法满足数字文化的需求。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules.(因此，由于“寒蝉效应”——害怕面临法律问题，如对违反版权法、合同法或数据保护规则负责，博物馆往往避免在网上分享藏品。)”可知，“寒蝉效应”可能导致美术馆收紧电子形式文化交流的政策。故选B项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future.(技术的快速发展为数字化、记录和保护文化遗产提供了令人兴奋的机会，为全球观众、现在和未来提供了更广泛的访问和沉浸式体验)”和“Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies.(由于数字副本可以作为应对气候相关损害的灾难备份，保护文化遗址免受气候变化影响与保护遗产的数字副本相辅相成。)”可知，第四段主要讲述以数字形式保护文化遗产的必要性。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history.(所有这些都要求在创新与保护文化遗产的真实性和完整性之间取得平衡，这需要尊重各种版权，管理权利和授权，并制定明确的使用和获取政策。只有应对数字化带来的复杂挑战，我们才能确保技术丰富而不是危害我们共同的历史。)”可知，文章的主要目的是倡导解决当前数字时代文化遗产保护存在的问题。故选A项。 D In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why — live music engages the brain’s emotion centers more than its recorded counterpart. Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction. It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes. The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live. While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing. 32. Why do people choose live shows over streaming music? A. To enjoy the unique live atmosphere. B. To meet favorite musicians in person. C. To escape the boredom of recorded music. D. To acquire a stronger emotional connection. 33. What did the PNAS study find about live music? A. It affected only the amygdala of the brain. B. It generated intense brain responses to sound elements. C. It had a weaker emotional effect than pre-recorded music. D. It strengthened emotions more in sad tunes than happy ones. 34. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Music Consumption Evolved in the Digital Age B. Why Your Brain Prefers Live Concerts to Streaming Songs C. Live Music vs. Recorded Music: A Neuroscientific Perspective D. ABBA Voyage: Redefining the Future of Virtual Concert Experiences 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 【解析】 【导语】文章对比流媒体音乐与现场音乐，介绍相关脑部实验，解释大脑更偏爱现场音乐、现场演出情绪感染力更强的科学原因。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“And now neuroscientists might know why — live music engages the brain’s emotion centers more than its recorded counterpart.(现在神经科学家可能知道原因了——现场音乐比录制音乐更能激活大脑的情感中枢)”结合第五段“the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance of live music(研究结果表明，艺术家实时调整表演的能力提升了现场音乐的情感共鸣)”可知，人们选择现场演出而不选择流媒体音乐，是为了获得更强的情感联结。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live.(研究人员还发现，当音乐现场演奏时，参与者的大脑活动会更紧密地追踪音乐的声学特征，比如节奏和音高)”可知，美国国家科学院院刊的研究发现，现场音乐会让大脑对声音元素产生强烈的反应。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why — live music engages the brain’s emotion centers more than its recorded counterpart.(在音乐流媒体服务普及的世界里，只需点击几下就能听到几乎任意一首歌曲。然而，现场演出依然存在。人们仍然挤满闷热的地下室、泥泞的场地和金碧辉煌的音乐厅，去聆听他们喜爱的音乐家演奏。如今，神经科学家或许找到了原因 —— 现场音乐比录制音乐更能激活大脑的情感中枢)”可知，文章对比流媒体音乐与现场音乐，介绍相关脑部实验，解释大脑更偏爱现场音乐、现场演出情绪感染力更强的科学原因。B选项“为什么你的大脑更喜欢现场演唱会，而不是流媒体歌曲”贴合全文核心主旨，适合作为文章标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun. ____35____ The answer is clear. History is essential in human civilization. Learning history helps you learn its significance. History grounds us in our roots. History is an interesting field of study, and learning the history of our homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts. ____36____ Many people feel like they need a sense of culturel belonging, which is about studying your roots and being open-minded to the today’s evolution. ____37____ Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. Experts argue that problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life. History makes us more empathetic. Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. ____38____ History can break down those boundaries. History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens horizons. It’s impossible to learn about one historical period without knowing related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you’ll be amazed by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. ____39____ Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from his novels, and discover the history of England. The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives. A. History enriches our experience. B. History helps us behave like ancestors. C. We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand. D. And it also leads to how we got to where we are today. E. If you’re studying history, ask yourself why history is important. F. This book is so attractive that it enjoys popularity in the past and present. G. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. 【答案】35. E 36. D 37. A 38. C 39. G 【解析】 【导语】文章从历史帮助我们理解文化根源、丰富人生经验、培养共情能力和激发进一步学习四个方面论述学习历史的重要性。 【35题详解】 根据上文“Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun.(学习一门你觉得毫无意义的学科从来都没有乐趣)”以及下文“The answer is clear.(答案很明确)”可知，空格处提出对应相关问题，衔接前后文语境。E选项“If you’re studying history, ask yourself why history is important.(如果你正在学习历史，问问自己历史为什么重要)”承接前文疑惑，引出后文回答，贴合语段逻辑。 【36题详解】 根据上文“learning the history of our homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts.(学习我们国家的历史可以让我们更深入地了解我们的过去)”以及下文“Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging.(很多人都需要一种文化归属感)”可知，空格处承接了解过往的内容，延伸关联当下现状。D选项“And it also leads to how we got to where we are today.(而且它也说明了我们是如何走到今天这一步的)”衔接前文回望过往，贴合本段追溯本源、归属文化的核心主旨。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago.(阅读历史是一段美妙的经历，它能让我们反思古人的社会生活与经济生活)”以及后文讲述借鉴前人经验应对生活难题可知，本段核心是历史积淀阅历、丰富人生体验。A选项“History enriches our experience.(历史丰富我们的阅历)”概括本段主旨，衔接下文内容。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance.(对他人的恐惧与仇恨通常源于无知)”以及后文“History can break down those boundaries.(历史能够打破这些隔阂)”可知，空格处承接无知催生恐惧的语义，衔接前后逻辑。C选项“We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand.(我们会害怕自己不了解的事物)”呼应前文无知、恐惧的关键词，贴合语段行文逻辑。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Study the 19th century England, and you’ll be amazed by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist.(研究19世纪的英国，你会惊叹于查尔斯·狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》)”以及后文“switching your attention away from his novels.(将注意力从他的小说上转移开)”可知，空格处围绕狄更斯展开衔接。G选项“Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.(查阅查尔斯·狄更斯的相关资料，你或许能学到一些关于现实主义的知识)”紧扣狄更斯、文学相关内容，贴合上下文语境。 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Most research supports the idea that music’s main benefit for students is the uplift of mood and thus of abilities to concentrate on tasks and study for longer periods of time. What kind of music are we talking about then? Some Drake? Bach? SpongeBob? What’s the magic song? Again, complicated (复杂). You want something that’s going to drop you right into that sweet spot of what is called medium arousal; a playlist that’s too boring might make you sleepy, while a song that’s too exciting might make it harder for you to focus. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information. Beethoven’s For Elise is an example. Listening to Mozart has also been shown in studies to improve the productivity of its listeners. There’s quite a bit of controversy on the effectiveness of having music on while you study, even music that puts you in the right mood. A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working. That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature. Another similar study, however, found that while average performance was lower for the music-listening group, the variation in individual scores suggests that the effects of the music vary a lot from person to person, and hence why it’s difficult to definitely say whether music helps or hurts. There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. The brain, actually, doesn’t have the ability to multitask at all. What you think is multitasking is actually just your poor old noodle rapidly switching between everything, but concentrating on nothing. Sad! 40. What kind of songs can be good for keeping information? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why is listening to music with lyrics not helpful for study? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Apart from the aspects mentioned in the passage, how can listening to music influence you? (In about 40 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute. 41. Because processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of our brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. 42. 此题接受两种答案： ▶The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best (students performed worse) when they were exposed to music. The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music (when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature). 43. Music helps me to build social connections. Music sometimes speaks better than words, and I find it easy to befriend someone who shares a similar interest in music. In a way, music brings people together and create a sense of community and shared experience. 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章属于说明文。文章主要探讨了音乐对学生学习的影响，指出音乐的益处主要在于提升情绪和集中注意力，但效果因人而异。同时强调有歌词的音乐会干扰语言处理任务。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information.(每分钟60-70拍的歌曲被认为有助于记忆信息)”可知，每分钟60-70拍的歌曲有助于记忆信息。故答案为Songs with 60-70 beats per minute. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing.(至少有一件事似乎是一致的，那就是带歌词的音乐绝对是不允许的。处理歌词意味着你大脑的语言处理部分没有空间来处理其他任务，尤其是当这涉及到阅读或写作时)”可知，听有歌词的音乐时，大脑的语言处理部分就没有空间来处理其他任务，这种音乐对学习没有帮助。故答案为Because processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of our brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working.(威尔士大学进行的一项研究发现，当学生听自己喜欢和不喜欢的音乐时，他们在考试中的表现总是更差，这意味着听音乐，不管它让学生感觉如何，被发现就像在你工作时有人和你说话一样分散注意力)”可知，威尔士大学的研究发现学生听音乐时，他们在考试中的表现总是很差；同时根据第四段“That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature.(同一项研究还发现，在一个完全安静的环境中，当学生听到重复的声音或自然的声音时，他们的表现也最好)”可知，研究发现听到重复的声音或自然的声音时，学生们的表现很好。所以给定句子可以有两种修改方式：1.把students performed best改为students performed worse；2.把when they were exposed to music改为when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature。故答案为The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best (students performed worse) when they were exposed to music. The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music (when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature). 【43题详解】 考查推理判断题。结合个人经验，音乐除了在提升情绪和帮助集中注意力方面能给我带来影响外，它还可以帮助我建立社会联系。音乐有时比语言更能说明问题，我发现和对音乐有相似兴趣的人交朋友很容易。在某种程度上，音乐将人们聚集在一起，创造一种社区意识和共享体验。故答案为Music helps me to build social connections. Music sometimes speaks better than words, and I find it easy to befriend someone who shares a similar interest in music. In a way, music brings people together and create a sense of community and shared experience. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学的高一学生李华，你校上周举办了年度“音乐之声”音乐节系列活动，请给你的英国朋友Chris写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： 1.音乐节活动； 2.你的感想。 注：写作词数80词左右，文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入词数。 Dear Chris, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m writing to share with you our school’s annual “The Sound of Music” festival held last week.

B Three weeks ago, Paul Buxton went into hospital in Gibraltar to have surgery to remove a tumour (肿瘤). While the procedure itself was fairly routine, the circumstances of the operation were extraordinary — as it was performed by a surgeon 1,500 miles away in London. Buxton, 62, is the first patient to benefit from remote robotic surgery in the UK and said that it was a “privilege to be part of medical history”. After being diagnosed with cancer shortly after Christmas, he was told that he would have to join the lengthy waiting list and travel to England for care. However, Buxton was given the opportunity to be the first patient have the treatment remotely and was operated on by a leading robotic surgeon, Professor Prokar Dasgupta, who sat at a console (控制台) in London. The console was connected to a surgical robot in Gibraltar with a camera attached. Surgical robots help smooth out shaky hand movements and can perform smaller and more precise incisions (切口) than the human hand. A team in Gibraltar were ready to take over as a precaution in case the connection dropped but Dasgupta said the operation went to plan and it was “almost as if I was there”. Dasgupta described the surgery as a “milestone” and said: “This is a historic moment. We operated on a patient in Gibraltar from The London Clinic 2,400km away using a robot. The robot is completely controlled from a console, using high-speed lines with a time delay of, would you believe it, only 0.06 seconds.” The technology could one day be widely used to improve treatment all over the world. “This is very good news for patients in Gibraltar and other remote areas. I think it is very, very exciting. The benefit is going to be significant,” he added. Since the “test run” on Buxton, Dasgupta has conducted remote surgery twice more and will perform the procedure again on March 14, the first live-streamed one. 24. What’s special about Buxton’s surgery? A. Its operation procedure was rare. B. It was operated by Dasgupta in person. C. It was a long-distance robotic surgery. D. It was performed by surgeons from different countries. 25. How is the surgery according to Dasgupta? A. Successful. B. Complicated. C. Routine. D. Eventful. 26. Why was a team in Gibraltar ready during the surgery? A. To assist Dasgupta with the operation. B. To witness the historic moment. C. To monitor the patient’s condition. D. To take over in case of technical failure. 27. What does the underlined phrase “test run” in the last paragraph mean? A. Standard operation. B. Pilot operation. C. Live operation. D. Simulated operation. C Cultural heritage is the symbol of our shared human history, including artifacts, traditions, languages, and knowledge that have been passed down through generations. Preserving and safeguarding cultural heritage has always been a critical mission. In the digital era, the mission has become a vital concern. Digitization of cultural content, such as museum collections or libraries, digital broadcasting of artistic performances, or digital born art and heritage are happening at a fast pace. While experiencing remarkable growth, the digital transformation presents unique challenges, such as the concerns about the cases where digital files may become unreadable or unusable due to outdated formats or hardware. However, this is not the biggest issue we encounter. The emergence of new digital cultural content has highlighted the limitations of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) systems in effectively handling the challenges posed by the digital era. In Europe, for instance, with the booming development of the digital gaming industry, some culture-related cases have raised specific IPR questions. Experts wonder if user-generated content from. digital games creates new copyright. The game itself is most often protected by copyright, but user-generated content, such as avatars (虚拟角色) created by players, is not necessarily covered by existing copyright laws. Another example is the inking culture of tattooing. In UK laws, an original tattoo is copyrightable work; however, it seems not to be the case for AI-generated tattoos. Both cases may lead to debates over ownership. As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules. Cultural heritage preservation lies in striking a delicate balance between conservation of the past and transition to the future. The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future. Furthermore, in the face of climate change, protecting cultural heritage becomes urgent as the world faces increasingly severe environmental challenges. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and temperature fluctuations threaten to destroy cultural artifacts and heritage sites. Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups (备份) to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies. All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history. 28. What is the biggest challenge digitization poses to cultural heritage protection? A. The misinterpretation of the digital transformation. B. The potential failure of digital culture’s long-term sustainability. C. The difficulty in connecting culture digitization to cultural integrity. D. The insufficiency of intellectual property policies for digital culture. 29. What situation may result from the “chilling effect” mentioned in the passage? A. Museums refuse to display the original items of cultural artifacts. B. Galleries tighten the policies for e-format culture exchanges. C. Libraries restrict access to digital books on culture relics. D. Schools offer less cultural heritage-related courses. 30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The necessity of protecting cultural heritage in digital forms. B. The significance of protecting cultural relics from natural damage. C. The possibility of using technology in cultural heritage preservation. D. The barrier of achieving both conservation and transition at the same time. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advocate addressing existing issues. B. To promote the use of modern technology. C. To analyse the origins of current challenges. D. To explore the impact of innovation on tradition. D In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why — live music engages the brain’s emotion centers more than its recorded counterpart. Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction. It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes. The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live. While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing. 32. Why do people choose live shows over streaming music? A. To enjoy the unique live atmosphere. B. To meet favorite musicians in person. C. To escape the boredom of recorded music. D. To acquire a stronger emotional connection. 33. What did the PNAS study find about live music? A. It affected only the amygdala of the brain. B. It generated intense brain responses to sound elements. C. It had a weaker emotional effect than pre-recorded music. D. It strengthened emotions more in sad tunes than happy ones. 34. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Music Consumption Evolved in the Digital Age B. Why Your Brain Prefers Live Concerts to Streaming Songs C. Live Music vs. Recorded Music: A Neuroscientific Perspective D. ABBA Voyage: Redefining the Future of Virtual Concert Experiences 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun. ____35____ The answer is clear.

What kind of music are we talking about then? Some Drake? Bach? SpongeBob? What’s the magic song? Again, complicated (复杂). You want something that’s going to drop you right into that sweet spot of what is called medium arousal; a playlist that’s too boring might make you sleepy, while a song that’s too exciting might make it harder for you to focus. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information. Beethoven’s For Elise is an example. Listening to Mozart has also been shown in studies to improve the productivity of its listeners. There’s quite a bit of controversy on the effectiveness of having music on while you study, even music that puts you in the right mood. A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working. That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature. Another similar study, however, found that while average performance was lower for the music-listening group, the variation in individual scores suggests that the effects of the music vary a lot from person to person, and hence why it’s difficult to definitely say whether music helps or hurts. There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. The brain, actually, doesn’t have the ability to multitask at all. What you think is multitasking is actually just your poor old noodle rapidly switching between everything, but concentrating on nothing. Sad! 40.
