Music has long been known for its ability to help people feel better, and when combined with artificial intelligence (AI), this healing effect becomes more accurate. This is shown by the new AI music therapy machine displayed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Developed by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, this machine offers personalized healing experiences for users.
Inside the machine, users wear special devices that check their brain activity and heart rate while sitting in comfortable chairs that feel like zero gravity. They relax to soft background music with natural sounds, such as birds singing or water flowing, and watch real-time information about their brain and body on a screen. Before the therapy starts, users fill out a form about their health and birth date. AI combines this information with real-time body data to create personalized music and matching pictures. After the session, they get a report on their therapy and a customized music plan.
The machine works by turning each person’s unique brain signals into sound waves through special computer programs. AI quickly studies personal characteristics and real-time body signs to make suitable sound environments, meeting both general and individual needs for healing through sound. It brings technology and art together, based on years of research by the conservatory’s lab.
This creative tool has many uses: it can help with sleep problems, low mood, and support babies born too early, children with special needs, and elderly people’s health care. It is already working with hospitals like Shanghai Huashan Hospital to help children with special needs, reduce pain, and ease exam stress for students.
Experts say AI is playing a bigger role in mental health care. Besides music therapy, AI can find emotional changes from social media posts or talks to spot risks of low mood. It also guides patients through mental health exercises and helps train children with special needs using virtual reality systems. As AI and music work together, they bring new hope for better mental and physical health.
4. Why is AI music therapy more effective?
A. Creating relaxing music with AI and natural sounds.
B. Achieving better targeting and effects with AI.
C. Being developed by well-known music schools.
D. Bringing more comfort with zero-gravity chairs.
5. What does the underlined word “customized” mean?
A. Suitable for a specific person.
B. Designed for customers.
C. Easy to understand and follow.
D. Created by professional musicians
6. How does the machine make personalized sound environments?
A. By creating sound waves and analyzing personal features.
B. By using VR to simulate natural environments.
C. By meeting different healing needs.
D. By picking the user’s favourite sounds and music.
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. AI-plus-music will be the top health care tool.
B. Traditional music therapy works poorly without AI.
C. This music therapy tool may have various values.
D. Personalized music therapy is a must for people.
C
Bees have incredibly fascinating lives. Now a new two-part documentary series, Secrets of the Bees, is offering an up-close look at the insects’ world and their remarkable intelligence. It premieres (首映) on National Geographic on March 31 at 8 p. m. It will arrive on Disney and Hulu the next day.
The series was filmed over three years, and a team of scientists and filmmakers worked in locations such as the Amazon jungle, an almond orchard in California, and a lab in Colorado. They also monitored 15 different hives (蜂巢). They captured never-before-seen footage (镜头) of how bees move, work, and communicate by using equipment such as tiny sensors and powerful close-up camera lenses. Because the footage is taken from a bee’s perspective, viewers will see how an ordinary daisy can look as tall as a skyscraper. The crew also used cameras that filmed up to 2,000 frames per second. Played slowly, the footage allows viewers to observe movements that are usually too fast for the human eye to see.
The series is narrated by award-winning wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory. One on-camera expert is National Geographic Explorer and entomologist, a scientist who studies insects. Dr. Samuel Ramsey, who also served as a scientific adviser to the show. He told The Week Junior that the goal of the series is to “take an organism that people feel like they know everything about, and then show them a different advantage point.”
In the show, Ramsey visits a lab and sees an experiment in which bees are given puzzles and balls. “I could see that bees have personality,” he said. “They play, and they even solve puzzles and pass that information on from bee to bee.” Ramsey said one of the most memorable scenes in the series shows bees dealing with a hornet (大黄蜂) that invades a hive. After surrounding the hornet, the bees vibrate to generate heat, killing the invader. “It’s incredible,” he said.
Ramsey hopes the viewers will be inspired by the insects, whose behavior in their colonies is similar to humans’; “There are a lot of individuals—they all have different jobs, ages, and companions, but they are all working together toward a common goal,” he said. “This documentary shows the importance of maintaining individuality and what can be achieved when you work together.”
8. What can be known about Secrets of the Bees?
A. Bees have attractive lives. B. Bees have the highest intelligence.
C. We can further understand bees. D. We will see the series on March 31 on Disney.
9. What is the primary goal of the documentary series?
A. To reveal the threats faced by bees.
B. To demonstrate the latest filming technologies.
C. To teach viewers how to increase bees’ populations.
D. To present a fresh and surprising perspective on bees.
10. What can be concluded from Ramsey’s description of bee behavior?
A. It focuses on the biological structure of bees.
B. It highlights the intelligence and social nature of bees.
C. It compares the habitats of bees with that of other insects.
D. It warns about the decreasing number of bees worldwide.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Scientists’ Protection of Bees B. An Expert’s View on Bees
C. Challenges of Filming Bees in the Wild D. A Documentary Exploring Bees’ Intelligence
D
Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated (培养). With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck?
Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life.
12. What can we know about virtuous people from Paragraph 1?
A. They are born with virtues. B. They never make a mistake.
C. They have a habit of doing good. D. They act on the principle of profit.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Satisfying career. B. Practicing virtues.
C. Trust in a relationship. D. Basic qualities of well-being.
14. What can we infer from the examples given in Paragraph 3?
A. Virtues only work in personal relationships.
B. Being grateful always leads to a better job quickly.
C. Kindness is the most useful virtue in dealing with bad moods.
D. Applying virtues properly can change a situation for the better.
15. What is the author’s purpose in the last paragraph?
A. To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B. To encourage readers to live a purposeful life.
C. To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D. To encourage readers to develop others’ potential.

There’s an autumn day that I recall (回忆) every time I find myself caught up in the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of life.
I was a teenager at the time, caught up in the busy life of school, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. It was my neighbor, Mr. Jensen, who brought me back to earth.
Mr. Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Every time I saw him in his garden, he was watering and admiring his roses with such focus, as if weeding (除草) never troubled him.
One sunny afternoon, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed, my anger going into every pull of the weeds. The soil flew in every direction as I attacked the unwanted plants with unnecessary force, my mind running through endless to-do lists. Mr. Jensen was in his garden as usual, taking care of his roses with the same calm patience he always showed.
Seeing how upset I was, he came over and began weeding next to me without a word.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.”

Music has long been known for its ability to help people feel better, and when combined with artificial intelligence (AI), this healing effect becomes more accurate. This is shown by the new AI music therapy machine displayed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Developed by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, this machine offers personalized healing experiences for users.
Inside the machine, users wear special devices that check their brain activity and heart rate while sitting in comfortable chairs that feel like zero gravity. They relax to soft background music with natural sounds, such as birds singing or water flowing, and watch real-time information about their brain and body on a screen. Before the therapy starts, users fill out a form about their health and birth date. AI combines this information with real-time body data to create personalized music and matching pictures. After the session, they get a report on their therapy and a customized music plan.
The machine works by turning each person’s unique brain signals into sound waves through special computer programs. AI quickly studies personal characteristics and real-time body signs to make suitable sound environments, meeting both general and individual needs for healing through sound. It brings technology and art together, based on years of research by the conservatory’s lab.
This creative tool has many uses: it can help with sleep problems, low mood, and support babies born too early, children with special needs, and elderly people’s health care. It is already working with hospitals like Shanghai Huashan Hospital to help children with special needs, reduce pain, and ease exam stress for students.
Experts say AI is playing a bigger role in mental health care. Besides music therapy, AI can find emotional changes from social media posts or talks to spot risks of low mood. It also guides patients through mental health exercises and helps train children with special needs using virtual reality systems. As AI and music work together, they bring new hope for better mental and physical health.
4. Why is AI music therapy more effective?
A. Creating relaxing music with AI and natural sounds.
B. Achieving better targeting and effects with AI.
C. Being developed by well-known music schools.
D. Bringing more comfort with zero-gravity chairs.

Bees have incredibly fascinating lives. Now a new two-part documentary series, Secrets of the Bees, is offering an up-close look at the insects’ world and their remarkable intelligence. It premieres (首映) on National Geographic on March 31 at 8 p. m. It will arrive on Disney and Hulu the next day.
The series was filmed over three years, and a team of scientists and filmmakers worked in locations such as the Amazon jungle, an almond orchard in California, and a lab in Colorado. They also monitored 15 different hives (蜂巢). They captured never-before-seen footage (镜头) of how bees move, work, and communicate by using equipment such as tiny sensors and powerful close-up camera lenses. Because the footage is taken from a bee’s perspective, viewers will see how an ordinary daisy can look as tall as a skyscraper. The crew also used cameras that filmed up to 2,000 frames per second. Played slowly, the footage allows viewers to observe movements that are usually too fast for the human eye to see.
The series is narrated by award-winning wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory. One on-camera expert is National Geographic Explorer and entomologist, a scientist who studies insects. Dr. Samuel Ramsey, who also served as a scientific adviser to the show. He told The Week Junior that the goal of the series is to “take an organism that people feel like they know everything about, and then show them a different advantage point.”
In the show, Ramsey visits a lab and sees an experiment in which bees are given puzzles and balls. “I could see that bees have personality,” he said. “They play, and they even solve puzzles and pass that information on from bee to bee.” Ramsey said one of the most memorable scenes in the series shows bees dealing with a hornet (大黄蜂) that invades a hive. After surrounding the hornet, the bees vibrate to generate heat, killing the invader. “It’s incredible,” he said.
Ramsey hopes the viewers will be inspired by the insects, whose behavior in their colonies is similar to humans’; “There are a lot of individuals—they all have different jobs, ages, and companions, but they are all working together toward a common goal,” he said. “This documentary shows the importance of maintaining individuality and what can be achieved when you work together.”
8. What can be known about Secrets of the Bees?
A. Bees have attractive lives. B. Bees have the highest intelligence.
C. We can further understand bees. D. We will see the series on March 31 on Disney.
9. What is the primary goal of the documentary series?
A. To reveal the threats faced by bees.
B. To demonstrate the latest filming technologies.
C. To teach viewers how to increase bees’ populations.
D. To present a fresh and surprising perspective on bees.
10. What can be concluded from Ramsey’s description of bee behavior?
A. It focuses on the biological structure of bees.
B. It highlights the intelligence and social nature of bees.
C. It compares the habitats of bees with that of other insects.
D. It warns about the decreasing number of bees worldwide.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Scientists’ Protection of Bees B. An Expert’s View on Bees
C. Challenges of Filming Bees in the Wild D. A Documentary Exploring Bees’ Intelligence

Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated (培养). With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck?
Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life.
12. What can we know about virtuous people from Paragraph 1?
A. They are born with virtues. B. They never make a mistake.
C. They have a habit of doing good. D. They act on the principle of profit.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Satisfying career. B. Practicing virtues.
C. Trust in a relationship. D. Basic qualities of well-being.
14. What can we infer from the examples given in Paragraph 3?
A. Virtues only work in personal relationships.
B. Being grateful always leads to a better job quickly.
C. Kindness is the most useful virtue in dealing with bad moods.
D. Applying virtues properly can change a situation for the better.
15. What is the author’s purpose in the last paragraph?
A. To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B. To encourage readers to live a purposeful life.
C. To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D. To encourage readers to develop others’ potential.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了美德的含义、培养美德的重要性,以及如何在生活中运用美德来改善处境和提升幸福感。

They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. (道德卓越的人,其品格由被视为善的种种美德构成。例如,他们诚实、尊重他人、勇敢、宽容且善良。他们做正确的事,不屈服于冲动或欲望,而是依照价值观和原则行事)”可知,有美德的人,其品格由被视为善的种种美德构成,他们诚实、尊重他人、勇敢、宽容且善良。由此推知,他们会有行善的习惯。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck?(美德是普世的,被所有文化公认为幸福的基本品质。然而,践行美德并非易事。我们常常知道,需要坚持不懈才能达到目标,却仍旧无法企及。我们知道,如果能宽恕,愤怒就会减少。我们知道,成就伟业需要勇气。那么,如果我们知道该做什么,为何还会停滞不前呢?)”可知,本段主要讨论的是践行美德面临困难。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. (因为我们尚未有意识地将某种美德运用于特定情境中以改变其结果,例如:对心情不佳的人施以善意,可以使其展露笑颜,并建立亲密的关系;在关系中投入信任,能创造宝贵而有意义的联结;面对失业时心怀感激,能将我们的关注点从情绪低落转向如何开启一份更充实的新事业;服务他人能够改变生命、改善社区,并建设更强大的国家)”可知,段中这些例子说明恰当地运用美德可以改变结果,可以让情况变得更好。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. (我们知道我们正在成为更有美德的人,不仅因为上述结果,还因为他人对我们的回应方式。我们的朋友、家人、同事和邻居会信任并依赖我们。他们会来向我们寻求指导和帮助。他们会想要和我们在一起,因为我们激励他们成为更好的人)”可知,作者通过描述变得有美德后他人会如何积极回应,旨在鼓励读者成为更有美德的人。

考查形容词。句意:我发现自己比想象中更具分析能力。A. social社交的;B. analytical分析性的;C. sensitive敏感的;D. expressive善于表达的。根据上文作者在统计学项目中表现出色,他发现自己更“具分析能力”。
【35题详解】
考查动词。句意:有时候,我们所恐惧或回避的东西,恰恰藏着我们真实自我的一部分,等待着被发现。A. told告诉;B. forgotten忘记;C. ignored忽视;D. discovered发现。根据上文“what we fear or avoid holds pieces of who we really are”和“waiting to be”可推知,这些隐藏的真实自我在等待被“发现”。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There’s an autumn day that I recall (回忆) every time I find myself caught up in the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of life.
I was a teenager at the time, caught up in the busy life of school, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. It was my neighbor, Mr. Jensen, who brought me back to earth.
Mr. Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Every time I saw him in his garden, he was watering and admiring his roses with such focus, as if weeding (除草) never troubled him.
One sunny afternoon, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed, my anger going into every pull of the weeds. The soil flew in every direction as I attacked the unwanted plants with unnecessary force, my mind running through endless to-do lists. Mr. Jensen was in his garden as usual, taking care of his roses with the same calm patience he always showed.
Seeing how upset I was, he came over and began weeding next to me without a word.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. “You know,” he began, “weeding a garden is a lot like going through life.” Curious, I stopped and looked at him. He continued, “Sometimes, we focus so much on the weeds — the problems and difficulties — that we forget to enjoy the flowers.” He pointed to the beautiful roses in his garden, their bright colors shining in the afternoon sun, “Don’t forget to appreciate the roses, even as you deal with the weeds.” I looked down at the weeds in my hands, then back at his roses, and slowly nodded.
Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.” I put down the weeds and followed him to the tap. As we watered the flowers together, for the first time, I felt a sense of peace. When I returned to my studies later that afternoon, the pressure didn’t seem so heavy anymore. Thanks to Mr. Jensen, I learned that life, like a garden, needs weeding, watering and appreciating — and that it’s okay to pause and enjoy the flowers along the way.
【解析】
【导语】本文以打理花园为线索展开,讲述了“我”因学业压力内心烦闷,帮Jensen先生除草时,被他以花园喻人生开导,懂得不必只盯着生活中的烦恼,也要学会驻足欣赏身边美好,内心重获平和。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句可知,第一段可描写“我”和Jensen先生一同除草,气氛安静沉闷,他借除草这件事向我道出人生哲理,点醒深陷压力、只看见生活难题的我。
②由第二段首句可知,第二段可描写“我”放下杂草和先生一同浇灌玫瑰,内心获得久违平静,返校后学业压力减轻,最终领悟人生如花园,烦恼与美好皆需接纳。
2. 续写线索:心烦除草——沉默相伴——先生开导——观赏玫瑰——一同浇花心生安宁——返校释怀、领悟人生道理
3.词汇激活
行为类
①指向:point to/gesture toward
②处理:deal with/cope with
③跟随:follow/trail behind
情绪类

【点睛】【高分句型1】He pointed to the beautiful roses in his garden, their bright colors shining in the afternoon sun, “Don’t forget to appreciate the roses, even as you deal with the weeds.”(运用了独立主格结构和as引导的时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】Thanks to Mr. Jensen, I learned that life, like a garden, needs weeding, watering and appreciating — and that it’s okay to pause and enjoy the flowers along the way.(运用了两个that引导的宾语从句和动名词短语作宾语)
