As a universal language, it connects people across different cultures and languages without translation. One recent example is the Sino-Russian music festival held in Harbin in 2026. Chinese musicians played the guzheng, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, while Russian artists performed folk songs with the balalaika, a Russian triangular stringed instrument. They also played a joint piece The Butterfly Lovers, a Chinese classic, with both Chinese and Western instruments. The audience, whether they spoke Chinese or Russian, all understood the love story told through the melody and cheered loudly after the performance. Music also carries cultural meanings. Traditional Chinese music often uses five-tone scales, reflecting the Chinese philosophy of harmony between humans and nature. African music is known for its complex multi-rhythms, which are rooted in local tribal traditions. Even modern pop music, such as Taylor Swift's hits, shows elements of American youth culture. "When we listen to music from another culture, we don't just hear sounds," says music professor Wang Lin. "We feel the emotions, understand the values, and get closer to people who seem very different from us. That's the magic of music." 1. What do we know about the Sino-Russian music festival? A.

A. learn foreign languages better B. understand different cultures C. become better musicians D. travel around the world easily 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. Music has no cultural differences at all. B. Modern pop music has no cultural roots. C. Music can cross cultural boundaries. D. All traditional music uses five-tone scales. 5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Traditional Chinese Music B. Music: The Universal Language Connecting Cultures C. Famous Music Festivals Around the World D. Differences Between Chinese and Russian Music 【短文大意】 音乐是跨越文化的通用语言。2026年哈尔滨中俄音乐节上，两国音乐家合奏《梁祝》证明了音乐的情感共鸣。不同文化背景的音乐各具特色，听外国音乐能帮助人们理解不同文化。 1. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段"They also played a joint piece The Butterfly Lovers... with both Chinese and Western instruments"可知，两国音乐家一起演奏了乐曲。A选项"仅限古典音乐爱好者"、C选项"所有曲目都是俄罗斯民歌"、D选项"观众听不懂外国音乐"，均与原文不符。故选B。 2. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段"Traditional Chinese music often uses five-tone scales"可知，中国传统音乐常使用五声音阶。A选项"使用复杂多节奏"是非洲音乐的特点，B选项"用巴拉莱卡琴演奏"是俄罗斯乐器，D选项"展示美国青年文化"是流行音乐的特点。故选C。 3. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段王林教授的话"When we listen to music from another culture... we feel the emotions, understand the values"可知，听外国音乐有助于理解不同文化。A选项"学好外语"、C选项"成为更好的音乐家"、D选项"轻松环游世界"，均未提及。故选B。 4. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。文中通过中俄音乐节、不同文化音乐特色以及王林教授的话，说明音乐可以跨越文化界限。A选项"音乐没有文化差异"与原文相反；B选项"流行音乐没有文化根源"与原文"shows elements of American youth culture"矛盾；D选项"所有传统音乐都用五声音阶"过于绝对。故选C。 5. 答案：B 解析：标题拟定题。全文围绕"音乐是通用语言，连接不同文化"这一主题展开，B选项"音乐：连接文化的通用语言"最准确。A选项"中国传统音乐史"范围过窄；C选项"世界著名音乐节"只是文章一部分；D选项"中俄音乐差异"过于片面。故选B。 B篇（改编自人民网云南频道） In recent years, classical music has become more and more popular in China.

AI music tools make it easier for people to create music. Tencent Music's "Qimingxing AI Songwriting" function allows users to generate a complete song in 3 to 5 minutes, and over 26 million works have been created with it so far. AI also changes the way we discover music. QQ Music's AI assistant "Yuanbao" can recommend playlists based on users' emotional needs, not just their past listening habits. However, the development of AI music also brings challenges. AI singers have become very popular, and some AI-generated songs have even appeared on international music charts. This makes people wonder what "real music" is. In 2025, the popular music show Singer got its lowest score ever, because audiences got used to "perfect" AI-processed sound and were disappointed with unedited live performances. At the same time, the music market is becoming more segmented. Over one million new songs are released in the Chinese music market every year, but 88% of them are never listened to. Instead of chasing national hits, many audiences prefer smaller, more specialized music genres. For example, the music show Sheng Ming Yuan Yang 2025, which focuses on folk and regional music, got the highest score among all music shows in 2025. Industry experts say that no matter how advanced AI technology is, the most important part of music is always real emotion. AI can create a perfectly produced song, but it cannot copy the real feelings behind music written by humans. 1. How many works have been created with Tencent Music's "Qimingxing AI Songwriting" function so far? A. 2.6 million. B. 26 million. C. 260 million. D. 2600 million. 2. Why did the music show Singer get its lowest score in 2025? A. Because the singers were not well-known. B. Because the songs were not good enough. C. Because audiences preferred perfect AI sound over unedited live shows. D. Because the show was too long to watch. 3. What does the underlined word "segmented" probably mean in Chinese? A. 细分的 B. 统一的 C. 落后的 D. 传统的 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. AI will completely replace human musicians in the future. B. Real emotion is still the core of good music. C. National hits will be more common in the future. D. People don't like live performances anymore. 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The advantages of AI music technology. B. The disadvantages of AI music technology. C. How AI changes music industry and why real emotion matters. D. How to create music with AI tools step by step. 【短文大意】 AI技术正在深刻改变音乐产业：腾讯音乐"启明星AI写歌"已创作2600万首作品，QQ音乐AI助手"元宝"可根据情绪推荐歌单。但AI也带来挑战——《歌手》节目因观众习惯AI完美音效而得分最低。专家指出，真实情感永远是音乐的核心。 1. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"over 26 million works have been created with it so far"可知，腾讯音乐"启明星AI写歌"功能已创作出超过2600万首作品。A选项260万、C选项2.6亿、D选项26亿，均与原文不符。故选B。 2. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段"audiences got used to 'perfect' AI-processed sound and were disappointed with unedited live performances"可知，《歌手》节目得分最低是因为观众习惯了AI完美音效，对未编辑的现场表演感到失望。A选项"歌手不够出名"、B选项"歌曲不够好"、D选项"节目太长"，均与原文不符。故选C。 3. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段"the music market is becoming more segmented"和后文"many audiences prefer smaller, more specialized music genres"（许多观众更喜欢更小、更专业的音乐类型）可知，音乐市场正在变得更加"细分"。B. 统一的、C. 落后的、D. 传统的，均不符合语境。故选A。 4. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段"the most important part of music is always real emotion"可推断，真实情感仍然是好音乐的核心。A选项"AI将完全取代人类音乐家"过于绝对；C选项"全国热门歌曲将更常见"与原文"88%无人听"矛盾；D选项"人们不再喜欢现场表演"与原文有出入。故选B。 5. 答案：C 解析：主旨大意题。全文既介绍了AI给音乐产业带来的变化（第一段），也讨论了AI带来的挑战（第二段），最后强调真实情感的重要性（第三段），C选项"AI如何改变音乐产业以及为什么真实情感很重要"最全面地概括了文章主旨。A选项"AI音乐的优势"、B选项"AI音乐的劣势"、D选项"如何用AI工具创作音乐"，均过于片面。故选C。 D篇（改编自草根紫铭网） Music is divided into many types according to melody, rhythm, instruments and cultural background.

AI music tools make it easier for people to create music. Tencent Music's "Qimingxing AI Songwriting" function allows users to generate a complete song in 3 to 5 minutes, and over 26 million works have been created with it so far. AI also changes the way we discover music. QQ Music's AI assistant "Yuanbao" can recommend playlists based on users' emotional needs, not just their past listening habits. However, the development of AI music also brings challenges. AI singers have become very popular, and some AI-generated songs have even appeared on international music charts. This makes people wonder what "real music" is. In 2025, the popular music show Singer got its lowest score ever, because audiences got used to "perfect" AI-processed sound and were disappointed with unedited live performances. At the same time, the music market is becoming more segmented. Over one million new songs are released in the Chinese music market every year, but 88% of them are never listened to. Instead of chasing national hits, many audiences prefer smaller, more specialized music genres. For example, the music show Sheng Ming Yuan Yang 2025, which focuses on folk and regional music, got the highest score among all music shows in 2025. Industry experts say that no matter how advanced AI technology is, the most important part of music is always real emotion.

Because audiences preferred perfect AI sound over unedited live shows. D. Because the show was too long to watch. 3. What does the underlined word "segmented" probably mean in Chinese? A. 细分的 B. 统一的 C. 落后的 D. 传统的 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. AI will completely replace human musicians in the future. B. Real emotion is still the core of good music. C. National hits will be more common in the future. D. People don't like live performances anymore. 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The advantages of AI music technology. B.
