惠州市实验中学2025-2026学年第二学期 高一年级期中考试试题 英 语 考试时间：120分钟 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下面短文，从每题给出的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出符合题意的最佳选项。 A Would you like to know something that our ancestors knew? Here is a chance to take a trip back in time to the following places and discover it. Great Orme Copper Mines, Wales The discovery of the copper mines changed much of what we knew about our Bronze Age ancestors. It was believed that metalworking had come to England with the Romans, but this Welsh discovery proved that the British were already working metals 4,000 years ago. The mines are made up of five miles of passageways. Some are so small that historians think they were dug by children as young as five years old. Jurassic Coast, Dorset Spreading an impressive 95 miles between Exmouth and Dorset, the Jurassic coast is frequently described as a “walk through time”. It’s perfect for looking for fossils after a storm. Several beach towns along the way make for a much-needed short break. The clean water is perfect for swimming and the Clock Tower Café which is typical of the countryside has beautiful views and delicious cakes. Cheddar Gorge, Somerset There’s something other-worldly about this limestone gorge, where caves carved out by an underground river were once used by our ancient ancestors for maturing cheese and other foods. Visitors to the Gorge can also explore a cave where Britain's oldest human skeleton, the 9,000-year-old Cheddar Man, was first discovered back in 1903. Compton Bay, Isle of Wight Compton Bay hasn't always been a wonderful place. Some 130 million years ago it was occupied by dinosaurs both great and small. Take a walk along Compton Bay's sandy beach, and you may have a chance to find new fossil dinosaur footprints, preserved in rock. 1. Which of the following can the discovery of the copper mines show? A. The Bronze Age ancestors were very strong. B. Romans brought metalworking to England. C. The work of metalworking was very interesting. D. The British knew metalworking four thousand years ago. 2. What can we know about the Jurassic coast? A. It's a good and safe place to see storms. B. Visitors can eat some delicious cakes. C. It's only fit for people to walk on. D. Visitors must bring food when going there. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In a shopping poster. B. In a novel. C. In a tourism magazine. D. In a science report. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个可以有助于了解祖先的旅游地点以及它们各自的特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The discovery of the copper mines changed much of what we knew about our Bronze Age ancestors. It was believed that metalworking had come to England with the Romans, but this Welsh discovery proved that the British were already working metals 4,000 years ago.(铜矿的发现很大程度上改变了我们对青铜时代祖先的认识。人们认为金属加工是随罗马人来到英格兰的，但威尔士的这一发现证明，英国人早在4000年前就已经开始加工金属了)”可知，铜矿的发现可以说明英国人在四千年前就知道金属加工。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The clean water is perfect for swimming and the Clock Tower Café which is typical of the countryside has beautiful views and delicious cakes.(干净的水是游泳的理想场所，而具有典型乡村特色的钟楼咖啡馆则拥有美丽的风景和美味的蛋糕。)”可知，在侏罗纪海岸，游客可以吃一些美味的蛋糕。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Would you like to know something that our ancestors knew? Here is a chance to take a trip back in time to the following places and discover it.(你想知道我们祖先知道的事情吗？我们有机会回到过去，去以下几个地方发现它)”结合文章主要介绍了四个可以有助于了解祖先的旅游地点以及它们各自的特色。可推知，文章可能来自旅游杂志。故选C。 B 37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges. Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards. Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangibly characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.” “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says. 4. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text? A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes. B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life. C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child. D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background. 5. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3? A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills. B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China. C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China. D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera. 6. What kind of person is Pilotti? A. Original and dedicated B. Adaptable and rigorous C. Passionate and considerate D. Committed and conventional 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。说明了瑞典演员蒂莫西·皮洛蒂受京剧启发，前往中国学习京剧，创作相关剧目，如今致力于中瑞文化交流。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.(京剧对他而言意义重大，它促使他来到中国，并激发了他对文化交流的热情)”可知，京剧彻底改变了皮洛蒂的生活。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. (“比如，我的一些同学去了印度，但我的梦想却是去中国——这简直是显而易见的事情。”他说道。2009年，他和另外两名学生来到北京的中国戏曲学院，为期六个月学习京剧)”可知，皮洛蒂说“这简直是显而易见的事情”是因为他一直梦想着去中国，所以这是一个显而易见的选择。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months.(2009年，他和另外两名学生来到北京的中国戏曲学院，为期六个月学习京剧)”；第四段“Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards.(尽管他既没有汉语语言能力，也没有京剧方面的背景知识，但该学院的老师们通过严格的教学和设定高标准的方式，帮助他掌握了这一表演艺术形式的精髓)”以及第五段“He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West.(近年来，他创作了两部戏剧作品，其中包括一部关于美猴王的故事，美猴王是《西游记》中一位无所不能的角色)”可知，皮洛蒂有原创力且专注。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.(37岁的瑞典演员蒂莫西·皮洛蒂蒂通过肢体喜剧将文化交流带到了舞台上。京剧对他而言意义重大，它促使他来到中国，并激发了他对文化交流的热情)”结合文章说明了瑞典演员蒂莫西·皮洛蒂受京剧启发，前往中国学习京剧，创作相关剧目，如今致力于中瑞文化交流。可知，B选项“一位热爱京剧的瑞典人”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Can AI music ever feel truly human? A recent experiment with the AI music platform Suno offers some clues (线索). The study, which used thousands of Suno-generated songs, asked participants to tell AI music apart from human compositions. Results showed that people were only about 53% correct — almost like guessing. When the music styles were very similar, their correctness rose to 66%, but Suno’s models are advancing rapidly. I tried Suno myself, using it to make a “1960s-style folk rock song with a male singer singing about protest”. The AI created it in seconds. Though I couldn’t easily tell it from human-made music, it didn’t touch me emotionally. This connects me to my personal experience with Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, a song tied to memories of my father teaching me to play it — memories that make the song meaningful. Technology has long changed our relationship with music. From early file-sharing to modern streaming services, access has become effortless, as David Bowie, an iconic British rock musician active in the 1970s and 1980s, predicted years ago. Now, AI like Suno adds more music to the mix, with Spotify, a leading music streaming platform, recently removing 75 million “spammy (垃圾的)” tracks (though how many of them were AI-made isn’t known). History shows new music technologies always cause debate. For example, sampling (采样) was once seen as lazy or theft but is now considered an art form. AI music faces similar copyright questions, but its connection to music feels less personal than a DJ sampling a beloved song. While AI music quality improves, most of it, like most human music, may be forgotten. Listeners often seek (寻找) more than technical skill — they seek stories and human connections. Some exceptional AI songs might find use in films or internet memes, but deep emotional resonance (共鸣) still comes from human experiences. We should remain cautious, though. Past inventions like player pianos reduced family music-making at home. David Bowie believed live performances would remain the key to real audience connection. For now, AI can mimic (模仿) the sound of human music, but the human touch — the memories, stories, and passion behind it — is what makes music truly meaningful. 8. What was a key finding of the recent study on AI music? A. AI music still lacks the emotional depth found in human compositions. B. The more similar the musical styles, the harder it was to tell them apart. C. Participants were correct only about half of the time — no better than chance. D. Listeners could hardly tell AI-generated music from human-composed music. 9. Why did the author mention his father? A. To compare different music styles. B. To show his father’s musical talent. C. To explain how to learn to play a song. D. To prove AI music lacks emotional depth. 10. Which of the following statements might the author mostly agree with? A. Sampling is a more acceptable art form than AI music. B. What makes music meaningful is the human experiences behind it. C. AI music will soon replace human-made music in emotional depth. D. Most AI music will eventually be forgotten, while most human music will not. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how AI music technology works. B. To prove that AI music will be more widespread. C. To discuss whether AI music can touch our hearts. D. To advise that musicians should give live performances. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨AI音乐虽技术日益成熟，却难以如人类音乐般承载记忆与情感，无法引发深层共鸣。作者认为，技术只能模仿声音，而人情味才是音乐真正的灵魂。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Can AI music ever feel truly human? A recent experiment with the AI music platform Suno offers some clues (线索). The study, which used thousands of Suno-generated songs, asked participants to tell AI music apart from human compositions. Results showed that people were only about 53% correct — almost like guessing. (人工智能音乐真的能有“人味儿”吗？一项针对AI音乐平台Suno的近期实验给出了一些线索。该研究采用了数千首由 Suno生成的歌曲，让参与者分辨哪些是AI音乐、哪些是人类创作。结果显示，人们的判断准确率仅约53%—— 几乎和随机猜测差不多。)”可知，参与者正确率只有一半左右，和随机猜测没区别。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Though I couldn’t easily tell it from human-made music, it didn’t touch me emotionally. This connects me to my personal experience with Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, a song tied to memories of my father teaching me to play it — memories that make the song meaningful.(虽然我难以区分它和人类创作的音乐，但它无法在情感上打动我。这让我想到了我与《For What It’s Worth》的个人经历，这首歌关联着父亲教我弹奏的回忆，正是这些回忆让这首歌有意义。)”可知，作者提到父亲是为了证明AI音乐缺乏情感深度。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For now, AI can mimic (模仿) the sound of human music, but the human touch — the memories, stories, and passion behind it — is what makes music truly meaningful.(目前，AI可以模仿人类音乐的声音，但人情味 —— 背后的回忆、故事与情感 —— 才是让音乐真正有意义的东西。)”可知，作者认同音乐的意义在于其背后的人生经历。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should remain cautious, though. Past inventions like player pianos reduced family music-making at home. David Bowie believed live performances would remain the key to real audience connection. For now, AI can mimic (模仿) the sound of human music, but the human touch — the memories, stories, and passion behind it — is what makes music truly meaningful.(不过，我们仍应保持谨慎。诸如自动钢琴这类过往发明，曾让家庭里的音乐创作变少了。大卫・鲍伊认为，现场表演依然是与观众建立真实情感联结的关键。目前，人工智能可以模仿人类音乐的声音，但音乐中蕴含的人文温度 —— 背后的记忆、故事与情感 —— 才是让音乐真正富有意义的核心。)”并结合本文探讨AI音乐虽技术日益成熟，却难以如人类音乐般承载记忆与情感，无法引发深层共鸣。作者认为，技术只能模仿声音，而人情味才是音乐真正的灵魂。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是讨论人工智能音乐是否能够触动我们的心灵。故选C项。 D Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t jump out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻). Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction. The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world. Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians species would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators. “Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the collapse of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group. Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been adopted to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.” 12. How is the topic introduced? A. By listing figures. B. By quoting a saying. C. By sharing a story. D. By comparing perspectives. 13. What mainly causes the decrease of amphibians according to the new study? A. The lack of feathers. B. The loss of habitats. C. The spread of disease. D. The rise of temperature. 14. What does the underlined word “collapse” in paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. Stability. B. Breakdown. C. Improvement. D. Disappearance. 15. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians? A. Pessimistic. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候变化对两栖动物生存的威胁及保护措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t jump out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. (每个人都知道这一点：慢慢地给装着青蛙的水加热，青蛙就不会跳出来。在不知道热量略有增加的情况下，它会一直呆在原地，直到——好吧，直到它死去。)”可知，文章通过分享温水煮青蛙的故事引入话题。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction. (在2004年至2022年期间，气温上升成为100多种两栖动物濒临灭绝的主要原因。)”可知，根据这项新研究，气温上升是两栖动物数量减少的主要原因。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“But losing amphibians species would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators. (但是失去两栖动物物种将是灾难性的，因为它们通常是生态系统食物网中的关键环节，它们狼吞虎咽地吃昆虫，反过来又被更大的捕食者吃掉。)”可知，两栖动物在生态系统中扮演着关键角色，它们捕食昆虫，同时又被更大的捕食者吃掉。因此，如果两栖动物消失，这个食物网就会崩溃。由此可知，collapse意为“崩溃，瓦解”，与breakdown意思相近。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.” (“并不全是坏消息，”国际自然保护联盟的两栖动物小组组长Jennifer Luedtke说。“但我们确实必须在这一改进的基础上再接再厉，大幅增加对两栖动物保护的投资。”)”可知，Luedtke认为虽然情况不乐观，但已经有了一些积极的进展，并且呼吁进一步增加对两栖动物保护的投资。由此可推知，Luedtke对两栖动物的未来是充满希望的。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 I have spent years of my life online.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因沉迷智能手机影响生活，最终改用非智能手机并收获改变的经历。 【16题详解】 根据上文“I have had wildly beating hearts for losing my data connection. I have scrolled (滚屏) for hours but failed to recollect anything I saw. I have chosen a screen over a conversation, a book, a good night’s sleep. (因为失去网络连接而心跳加速；我曾连续滚动屏幕数小时，却回想不起看过的内容；我曾选择盯着屏幕，而不是与人交谈、读书或享受一夜好眠)”可知，作者列举了一系列因智能手机导致的不良生活状态。B选项“All of these have resulted from a smart phone. (所有这些都是智能手机造成的)”中的“All of these”指代上文所有负面经历，总结智能手机带来的问题，引出下文对沉迷网络生活的进一步描述，承上启下，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“For the first half of my 20s, I was an online influencer. I documented all aspects of my life for an audience of almost 200,000 on Tik Tok. (在我20多岁的前半段时光里，我曾是一名网络红人。我在抖音上向近20万观众记录自己生活的方方面面)”可知，此段描述作者作为网红的生活。E选项“Everything was covered: mood changes, love life, hospital stays. (一切都被涵盖：情绪变化、爱情生活、住院经历)”中的“Everything”呼应“all aspects of my life”，具体说明记录内容的广泛性，符合网红公开生活细节的语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“I became lonely and addicted to social media and the two states influenced each other. (我变得孤独且沉迷社交媒体，这两种状态相互影响)”及下文“I ordered an old Nokia and everything changed. (我订购了一部旧诺基亚，一切都改变了)”可知，作者因沉迷社交媒体陷入恶性循环，最终采取行动改变。C选项“One day, I broke down and closed my account. (有一天，我崩溃了，关闭了账户)”中的“broke down”体现情绪爆发，“closed my account”是改用非智能手机的前置行为，衔接上下文“沉迷—崩溃—改变”的逻辑链条。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The benefits of downgrading built up gradually over many months. I am never bored now. Everything is interesting. I read long books. (改用非智能手机的好处在数月间逐渐累积。我现在从不感到无聊。一切都很有趣，我读长篇书籍)”可知，此段列举改用非智能手机后的积极变化，结合下文的“When I have to wait around, I just sit there. I’ve found that when the internet is out of reach, it seldom crosses my mind. (当我不得不四处等待时，我就只是坐在那里。我发现当无法上网时，我很少会想起网络)”可知，此处继续讲述不用只能手机带来的好处，由此可推断，此空讲述的内容为不用智能手机带来的变化，A选项“I go on long walks without headphones. (我不戴耳机长时间散步)”通过“without headphones”体现与沉迷手机时的区别，与“read long books”以及“just sit there”共同构成“远离屏幕的丰富生活”画面。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“If you’re interested in turning to a dumbphone (非智能手机), you might be worried about the inconveniences it would bring about. (如果你有兴趣改用非智能手机，你可能会担心它会带来的不便)”及下文“With time, patience and clever solutions, we can all find our way back to that. (有了时间、耐心和巧妙的解决方案，我们都能找到回归的路)”可知，此处需化解对改用非智能手机的担忧。G选项“But just remember people lived for thousands of years without smart phones. (但请记住，人类在没有智能手机的情况下生活了数千年)”通过对比历史，强调“无智能手机生活的可行性”，“But”转折上文的担忧，引出下文“耐心解决问题”的建议。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共五节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, I found myself in a quiet cafe, listening to a soft piano sound from the corner.

Here is a chance to take a trip back in time to the following places and discover it. Great Orme Copper Mines, Wales The discovery of the copper mines changed much of what we knew about our Bronze Age ancestors. It was believed that metalworking had come to England with the Romans, but this Welsh discovery proved that the British were already working metals 4,000 years ago. The mines are made up of five miles of passageways. Some are so small that historians think they were dug by children as young as five years old. Jurassic Coast, Dorset Spreading an impressive 95 miles between Exmouth and Dorset, the Jurassic coast is frequently described as a “walk through time”. It’s perfect for looking for fossils after a storm. Several beach towns along the way make for a much-needed short break. The clean water is perfect for swimming and the Clock Tower Café which is typical of the countryside has beautiful views and delicious cakes. Cheddar Gorge, Somerset There’s something other-worldly about this limestone gorge, where caves carved out by an underground river were once used by our ancient ancestors for maturing cheese and other foods. Visitors to the Gorge can also explore a cave where Britain's oldest human skeleton, the 9,000-year-old Cheddar Man, was first discovered back in 1903. Compton Bay, Isle of Wight Compton Bay hasn't always been a wonderful place. Some 130 million years ago it was occupied by dinosaurs both great and small. Take a walk along Compton Bay's sandy beach, and you may have a chance to find new fossil dinosaur footprints, preserved in rock. 1. Which of the following can the discovery of the copper mines show? A. The Bronze Age ancestors were very strong. B. Romans brought metalworking to England. C. The work of metalworking was very interesting. D. The British knew metalworking four thousand years ago. 2. What can we know about the Jurassic coast? A. It's a good and safe place to see storms. B. Visitors can eat some delicious cakes. C. It's only fit for people to walk on. D. Visitors must bring food when going there. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In a shopping poster. B. In a novel. C. In a tourism magazine. D. In a science report. B 37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges. Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards. Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangibly characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.” “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says. 4. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text? A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes. B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life. C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child. D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background. 5. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3? A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills. B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China. C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China. D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera. 6. What kind of person is Pilotti? A. Original and dedicated B. Adaptable and rigorous C. Passionate and considerate D. Committed and conventional 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China C Can AI music ever feel truly human? A recent experiment with the AI music platform Suno offers some clues (线索). The study, which used thousands of Suno-generated songs, asked participants to tell AI music apart from human compositions. Results showed that people were only about 53% correct — almost like guessing. When the music styles were very similar, their correctness rose to 66%, but Suno’s models are advancing rapidly. I tried Suno myself, using it to make a “1960s-style folk rock song with a male singer singing about protest”. The AI created it in seconds. Though I couldn’t easily tell it from human-made music, it didn’t touch me emotionally. This connects me to my personal experience with Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, a song tied to memories of my father teaching me to play it — memories that make the song meaningful. Technology has long changed our relationship with music. From early file-sharing to modern streaming services, access has become effortless, as David Bowie, an iconic British rock musician active in the 1970s and 1980s, predicted years ago. Now, AI like Suno adds more music to the mix, with Spotify, a leading music streaming platform, recently removing 75 million “spammy (垃圾的)” tracks (though how many of them were AI-made isn’t known). History shows new music technologies always cause debate. For example, sampling (采样) was once seen as lazy or theft but is now considered an art form. AI music faces similar copyright questions, but its connection to music feels less personal than a DJ sampling a beloved song. While AI music quality improves, most of it, like most human music, may be forgotten. Listeners often seek (寻找) more than technical skill — they seek stories and human connections. Some exceptional AI songs might find use in films or internet memes, but deep emotional resonance (共鸣) still comes from human experiences. We should remain cautious, though. Past inventions like player pianos reduced family music-making at home. David Bowie believed live performances would remain the key to real audience connection. For now, AI can mimic (模仿) the sound of human music, but the human touch — the memories, stories, and passion behind it — is what makes music truly meaningful. 8. What was a key finding of the recent study on AI music? A. AI music still lacks the emotional depth found in human compositions. B. The more similar the musical styles, the harder it was to tell them apart. C. Participants were correct only about half of the time — no better than chance. D. Listeners could hardly tell AI-generated music from human-composed music. 9. Why did the author mention his father? A. To compare different music styles. B. To show his father’s musical talent. C. To explain how to learn to play a song. D. To prove AI music lacks emotional depth. 10. Which of the following statements might the author mostly agree with? A. Sampling is a more acceptable art form than AI music. B. What makes music meaningful is the human experiences behind it. C. AI music will soon replace human-made music in emotional depth. D. Most AI music will eventually be forgotten, while most human music will not. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how AI music technology works. B. To prove that AI music will be more widespread. C. To discuss whether AI music can touch our hearts. D. To advise that musicians should give live performances. D Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t jump out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻). Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction. The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world. Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians species would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators. “Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the collapse of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group. Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been adopted to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.” 12.
