Since many people want to listen to and learn about pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but also have a large library of “golden oldie” classics, as well as the “latest releases”. For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music, there’s the History of Pop or the Road to Music. If you want to hear from the artists themselves, there’s a new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They talk to us about the meanings and ideas behind songs. If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, the Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it’s hard enough for nonnative English speakers to understand most pop songs. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Theatres and Entertainment St David’s Hall St David’s Hall is the award winning National Concert Hall of Wales.

But Clora Bryant played the trumpet, and reputation came slowly. Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.” Bryant played the trumpet with such passion and she became a mainstay in the growing jazz scene in the 1940s. Dizzy Gillespie once told Times jazz critic Leonard Feather that Bryant was the most underrated (低估) trumpet player in L. A． But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺). “A lot of clubs have closed.” she told the Times. “And how many female trumpet players do you see working?” Bryant and her brothers were raised by their father, a patient man who encouraged his children to think big. She wanted to be in the high school marching band, but Charles Bryant warned his daughter she’d likely face resistance. “But anything you want to do, I’m behind you,” she recalled. It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger. 24．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “resolved” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Adventurous. B．Unique. C．Determined. D．Anxious. 25．(2.5分)Why is “Social Security” mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To prove Bryant’s struggle through life. B．To show Bryant’s relation with her son. C．To explain how Bryant made a living. D．To stress the importance of the pawnshop. 26．(2.5分)What may be the key reason for Bryant’s being underrated? A．The terrible financial situation. B．The poor family background. C．The discouragement from family. D．The open sexism from society. 27．(2.5分)What played an important role for Bryant to stick to her dream? A．Her son’s support. B．Her brothers’ company. C．Her father’s encouragement. D．Her strict family education. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．D 27．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了小号乐手Bryant成名的过程很缓慢，得到的赞誉远不及她应得到的那么多，但是她越过人生的障碍，最终获得了成功。 【详解】24．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her (Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手)”可知，Bryant虽然她一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她决心成为一名受尊敬的爵士小号手。结合划线词前“It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire (这是一个男人的世界，这让她很难过。但这只会点燃她的热情)”可知，性别歧视并未能阻挡Bryant成为一名爵士小号手，反而使她更加下定决心成为一名爵士小号手，所以可以推断出画线单词“resolved”意思是“下定决心的”，与“determined”意思一致。故选C项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺)．(到了1992年，她却只能靠社会保险金生活，住在儿子位于加州长滩的公寓，两把小号都被送进了典当铺。)”可推知，作者提及“社会保险金”是为了证实她当时经济状况的窘迫，从侧面反应她成名过程中的奋斗与艰辛。故选A项。 26．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92．Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin．“It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her．But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved．” (2019年8月25日，Bryant在洛杉矶去世，享年92岁，虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手。她的儿子Darrin说，爵士小号的生活是一场艰苦的战斗。“这是一个男人的世界，这让她很难过。但这只会点燃她的热情，让她更加坚定。”)”可推知，公然的性别歧视使得Bryant的成长历程充满艰辛，这也是她被低估的关键原因。故选D项。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger．(正是她的父亲鼓励她去做任何她想做的事情，这使她变得越来越强大。)”可知，父亲的鼓励是她坚持自己的梦想的关键，起到重要作用。故选C项。 （本题10分）Music can make us feel all sorts of different emotions. There might be a certain song that reminds you of a time of your life-a particular day or moment. Maybe it’s the song that was playing when you met your partner, or when you last saw your best friend. But according to new research, music may be able to do more than just bring back memories — it could even affect the way we remember the past. Researchers in the US did an experiment in which test subjects were asked to memorize a number of short stories that were described as “emotionally neutral (中性的).” A day later, the subjects were asked to think about these stories while listening to positive music, unpleasant music or silence. They also had MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描) to measure their brain activity while listening and thinking about the stories. Then the next day, they were asked to think back the stories without listening to any music. The researchers found that when people were thinking about the stories and listening to emotional music, they were more likely to add new “emotional parts” into the story that matched the music. For example, if they were listening to positive music when thinking back the story, they were more likely to remember the story in a positive way, even when they thought back the story later and the music was not playing. The researchers also saw increased activity in the parts of test subjects’ brains connected with emotional memory processing while people were listening to music and thinking about the stories. The research team said this may explain why music connected with an important life event can feel so powerful when we listen to it again later. They also said the idea of using music to influence memories could be useful for helping people with things like depression (抑郁). 28．(2.5分)How did the researchers get their findings? A．By doing mental tests. B．By making comparisons. C．By referring to historical records. D．By recording subjects’ daily activities. 29．(2.5分)What did the MRI scans show about subjects’ brain activity? A．Music decreased brain activity related to memory. B．Brain activity was not related to the type of music. C．Silence had the greatest effect on memory processing. D．Emotional music increased activity in emotional memory areas. 30．(2.5分)What possible application did the researchers suggest for using music to affect memories? A．Promoting musical skills. B．Improving students’ studies. C．Helping people with depression. D．Reducing the effects of aging. 31．(2.5分)In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A．Scientific Observation. B．Music Education. C．Art Appreciation. D．Internet Technology. 【答案】28．B 29．D 30．C 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐能影响人们对过去记忆的方式及潜在应用。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Researchers in the US did an experiment in which test subjects were asked to memorize a number of short stories that were described as “emotionally neutral (中性的).(美国的研究人员进行了一项实验，在实验中，受试对象被要求记住一些被描述为 “情感中性” 的短篇故事)”以及第三段“A day later, the subjects were asked to think about these stories while listening to positive music, unpleasant music or silence. They also had MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描) to measure their brain activity while listening and thinking about the stories. Then the next day, they were asked to think back the stories without listening to any music.(一天后，这些受试对象被要求在听积极向上的音乐、令人不悦的音乐或者处于安静状态时，去回想那些故事。在他们听音乐并回想故事的同时，研究人员还对他们进行了磁共振成像扫描，以测量他们的大脑活动。然后，在第二天，受试对象被要求在不听任何音乐的情况下，再次回想那些故事)”可知，研究人员通过做实验，让受试者在不同音乐条件下回忆故事，并通过MRI扫描来测量他们的大脑活动，从而得到他们的发现。由此可推知，研究人员是通过做对比实验得到他们的发现的。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The researchers also saw increased activity in the parts of test subjects’ brains connected with emotional memory processing while people were listening to music and thinking about the stories.(研究人员还发现，当人们一边听音乐一边思考这些故事时，测试对象大脑中与情感记忆处理相关的部分区域的活动有所增强)”可知，当人们在听音乐并思考故事时，研究人员发现受试者大脑中与情感记忆处理相关的部分活动增加。因此，MRI扫描显示情感音乐增加了情感记忆区域的活动。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“They also said the idea of using music to influence memories could be useful for helping people with things like depression (抑郁).(他们还表示，利用音乐来影响记忆的这一想法，可能有助于帮助那些患有抑郁症之类病症的人)”可知，研究人员认为使用音乐来影响记忆的想法可能有助于帮助患有抑郁症等疾病的人。由此可推知，研究人员建议使用音乐影响记忆的可能应用是帮助患有抑郁症的人。故选C。 推理判断题。根据文章的内容，尤其是第二段的“But according to new research, music may be able to do more than just bring back memories—it could even affect the way we remember the past.(但根据一项新的研究，音乐所能做到的可能不仅仅是唤起回忆——它甚至还能影响我们回忆过去的方式)”可知，本文主要讲述了音乐对人们记忆的影响以及潜在的应用，这属于科学研究的范畴。因此，我们可以在报纸的科学观察部分找到这篇文章。故选A。 （本题10分）While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice. When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future! But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it. AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer? Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected. 32．(2.5分)What plays an important role in producing PROTO? A．Holly’s special voice. B．The input of existing music. C．Holly’s rich knowledge. D．The use of an instrument. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa? A．To promote deep thinking on AI musicians. B．To show the popularity of smart robots. C．To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists. D．To make comparisons between human and robotic artists. 34．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans? A．Doubtful. B．Surprised. C．Confused. D．Confident. 35．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．The increasing diversity of AI music. B．The development of musical composition. C．The history of computer-generated music. D．The combination of AI and musical composition. 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．D 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon使用人工智能创作了新音乐。文章介绍了其操作过程以及关于对AI音乐人的深度思考。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI).(该过程需要输入人工或人工智能（AI）创作的音乐数据)”可知，现有音乐的输入在产生原型中起着重要的作用。故选B。 33．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram．“I’m a model and singer．And I’m a robot,” Miquela said．This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer?( Miquela Sousa是一个电脑生成的艺术家，在Instagram上有超过一百万的粉丝。“我是一名模特兼歌手。我是一个机器人，”Miquela说。这就提出了一个问题：我们能用电脑重现创造力吗？)”可推知，作者提到Miquela Sousa的例子是为了促进对AI音乐人的深度思考。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between．I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI．And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.(虽然这些问题不容易回答，但我相信音乐的下一个前沿是介于两者之间。我可以看到人类创造力与人工智能相结合的新曙光。随着音乐和人工智能的联系越来越紧密，音乐的下一篇章肯定会变得非常精彩)”可推知，作者对AI和人类共同创作的音乐很有信心。故选D。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn．The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain．These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process．Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.(虽然大多数音乐家在创作音乐时都是与其他艺术家合作，但现居住在柏林的美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon采取了不同的方式，使用名为Spawn的机器学习软件。该软件使用了模仿人类大脑结构的人工神经网络。这些网络在训练过程中从数据集中学习模式。根据这些数据，网络创造了新的材料，包括Herndon自己的声音)”结合文章主要说明了美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon使用人工智能创作了新音乐。文章介绍了其操作过程以及关于对AI音乐人的深度思考。可知，这篇文章主要讲了人工智能和音乐创作的结合。故选D。 （本题12.5分）Goals aren’t just things to do.

My name is Li Hua. I feel incredibly honored to stand here today, ready to share with you my story, which was completely transformed by music. Once too shy to speak in public, I decided to join the school choir, hoping to overcome my fear. There, singing together with classmates, I finally felt a strong sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. Music, becoming my source of courage, taught me to express myself bravely and face challenges confidently. Gradually, encouraged by my newfound confidence, I started taking part in more activities and making new friends. Thanks to music, I’ve grown from a timid person into someone full of energy and passion, making my life brighter than ever. So, let’s all embrace music, for it has the power to change our lives, just as it changed mine!

Mom had already parked at the studio. Thinking that I would have to skip practice now, I felt a little relieved. But Mom said, “Ms. Linda has a bin of old shoes.” I sighed and followed her inside. I found a pair that were a size too big and hurried into class. In class, Ms. Linda announced only four practices remained before the holiday program. I hadn’t realized dance would be so much work. On the way home, I told Mom I wanted to quit. I expected her usual saying — “Finish what you agreed to before you start on something new.” But she surprised me. “I’m going to let you decide,” she said. Then she asked what my dance partner would do. “I don’t think she even knows my name,” I replied. The next Friday, Grandma picked me up from school. “Hi, Kami. I need to check on the sick dog, Mattie, before taking you to dance class.” “You don’t have to take me to dance today,” I told Grandma. “Mom said I could decide, and I’ve decided to quit. I’d rather help with Mattie anyway.” Mattie slept all afternoon. It wasn’t fun, but it wasn’t scary like being onstage. On Saturday, Grandma took me to a holiday wreath sale. While waiting in line, I saw a girl — my dance partner! “Hi, Kami,” she smiled. She did know my name! Her name was Sylvia. She asked why I missed practice. I explained about Mattie. Then Sylvia said, “Being onstage makes me nervous. My grandmother pays for my lessons, and she’s flying in from Colorado to watch the performance. I’m afraid I’ll mess up.” “I get nervous too,” I told her. “Don’t worry, you’ll do great.” Over the next few days, I kept thinking about Sylvia. She was nervous but still dancing. She needed a partner. If I quit, she would be alone onstage. That didn’t seem fair. 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。 The next Friday morning, as I stared at the single shoe in my hand, I made up my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The night of the holiday program, I stood backstage with Sylvia, my heart beating fast. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version Paragraph 1 The next Friday morning, as I stared at the single shoe in my hand, I made up my mind. I searched every corner of my bedroom and dance bag anxiously, and finally found the missing shoe hidden beneath my quilt. Holding a pair of complete dance shoes, I rushed to the studio without hesitation. In no way could I abandon Sylvia, who was already terrified of performing alone on stage. We practiced every spare minute together, comforting each other whenever stage fright overwhelmed us. Gradually, my previous desire to escape faded away, replaced by the sense of responsibility to stand by my partner. Paragraph 2 The night of the holiday program, I stood backstage with Sylvia, my heart beating fast. We held each other’s hands firmly to ease our shared nervousness before stepping onto the spotlight. Glancing out at the audience, I spotted her grandmother who had flown all the way from Colorado, waiting eagerly for the show. As the music flowed, we danced in perfect harmony, every movement polished by our repeated practice. Warm thunderous applause echoed through the hall the moment we finished. Sylvia cast me a grateful bright smile, and her grandma waved wildly at us. It dawned on me that true courage lies in persisting firmly, stepping forward for my friend despite all fears and shaping a braver version of myself. 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述卡米弄丢舞鞋，又觉得舞蹈训练辛苦，打算放弃跳舞，妈妈让她自行决定。她陪奶奶照看病犬没去上课，偶遇舞伴西尔维娅，得知对方也怯场却仍坚持，卡米不忍让她独自登台，内心动摇。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写卡米找到丢失的舞鞋，决心回去陪舞伴西尔维娅，二人一同练习，卡米不再想逃避。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写演出当晚卡米和西尔维娅携手克服紧张完美完成舞蹈，收获掌声，卡米领悟到勇气是为朋友直面恐惧。 2．续写线索：卡米找到丢失的舞鞋——和舞伴西尔维娅一同练习——完美完成舞蹈演出——收获掌声——卡米感悟 3．词类激活： 行为类： （情绪、声音、想法）慢慢消退：fade away/die away 代替：replace/take the place of 情绪类： 焦虑地：anxiously/nervously 害怕的：terrified/scared 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Holding a pair of complete dance shoes, I rushed to the studio without hesitation.

But Clora Bryant played the trumpet, and reputation came slowly. Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.” Bryant played the trumpet with such passion and she became a mainstay in the growing jazz scene in the 1940s. Dizzy Gillespie once told Times jazz critic Leonard Feather that Bryant was the most underrated (低估) trumpet player in L. A． But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺). “A lot of clubs have closed.” she told the Times. “And how many female trumpet players do you see working?” Bryant and her brothers were raised by their father, a patient man who encouraged his children to think big. She wanted to be in the high school marching band, but Charles Bryant warned his daughter she’d likely face resistance. “But anything you want to do, I’m behind you,” she recalled. It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger. 24．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “resolved” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Adventurous. B．Unique. C．Determined. D．Anxious. 25．(2.5分)Why is “Social Security” mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To prove Bryant’s struggle through life. B．To show Bryant’s relation with her son. C．To explain how Bryant made a living. D．To stress the importance of the pawnshop. 26．(2.5分)What may be the key reason for Bryant’s being underrated? A．The terrible financial situation. B．The poor family background. C．The discouragement from family. D．The open sexism from society. 27．(2.5分)What played an important role for Bryant to stick to her dream? A．Her son’s support. B．Her brothers’ company. C．Her father’s encouragement. D．Her strict family education. （本题10分）Music can make us feel all sorts of different emotions. There might be a certain song that reminds you of a time of your life-a particular day or moment. Maybe it’s the song that was playing when you met your partner, or when you last saw your best friend. But according to new research, music may be able to do more than just bring back memories — it could even affect the way we remember the past. Researchers in the US did an experiment in which test subjects were asked to memorize a number of short stories that were described as “emotionally neutral (中性的).” A day later, the subjects were asked to think about these stories while listening to positive music, unpleasant music or silence. They also had MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描) to measure their brain activity while listening and thinking about the stories. Then the next day, they were asked to think back the stories without listening to any music. The researchers found that when people were thinking about the stories and listening to emotional music, they were more likely to add new “emotional parts” into the story that matched the music. For example, if they were listening to positive music when thinking back the story, they were more likely to remember the story in a positive way, even when they thought back the story later and the music was not playing. The researchers also saw increased activity in the parts of test subjects’ brains connected with emotional memory processing while people were listening to music and thinking about the stories. The research team said this may explain why music connected with an important life event can feel so powerful when we listen to it again later. They also said the idea of using music to influence memories could be useful for helping people with things like depression (抑郁). 28．(2.5分)How did the researchers get their findings? A．By doing mental tests. B．By making comparisons. C．By referring to historical records. D．By recording subjects’ daily activities. 29．(2.5分)What did the MRI scans show about subjects’ brain activity? A．Music decreased brain activity related to memory. B．Brain activity was not related to the type of music. C．Silence had the greatest effect on memory processing. D．Emotional music increased activity in emotional memory areas. 30．(2.5分)What possible application did the researchers suggest for using music to affect memories? A．Promoting musical skills. B．Improving students’ studies. C．Helping people with depression. D．Reducing the effects of aging. 31．(2.5分)In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A．Scientific Observation. B．Music Education. C．Art Appreciation. D．Internet Technology. （本题10分）While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice. When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future! But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it. AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer? Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected. 32．(2.5分)What plays an important role in producing PROTO? A．Holly’s special voice. B．The input of existing music. C．Holly’s rich knowledge. D．The use of an instrument. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa? A．To promote deep thinking on AI musicians. B．To show the popularity of smart robots. C．To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists. D．To make comparisons between human and robotic artists. 34．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans? A．Doubtful. B．Surprised. C．Confused. D．Confident. 35．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．The increasing diversity of AI music. B．The development of musical composition. C．The history of computer-generated music. D．The combination of AI and musical composition. （本题12.5分）Goals aren’t just things to do. They guide you to a better life and help you reach your dreams.

Mom had already parked at the studio. Thinking that I would have to skip practice now, I felt a little relieved. But Mom said, “Ms. Linda has a bin of old shoes.” I sighed and followed her inside. I found a pair that were a size too big and hurried into class. In class, Ms. Linda announced only four practices remained before the holiday program. I hadn’t realized dance would be so much work. On the way home, I told Mom I wanted to quit. I expected her usual saying — “Finish what you agreed to before you start on something new.” But she surprised me. “I’m going to let you decide,” she said. Then she asked what my dance partner would do. “I don’t think she even knows my name,” I replied. The next Friday, Grandma picked me up from school. “Hi, Kami. I need to check on the sick dog, Mattie, before taking you to dance class.” “You don’t have to take me to dance today,” I told Grandma. “Mom said I could decide, and I’ve decided to quit. I’d rather help with Mattie anyway.” Mattie slept all afternoon. It wasn’t fun, but it wasn’t scary like being onstage. On Saturday, Grandma took me to a holiday wreath sale. While waiting in line, I saw a girl — my dance partner! “Hi, Kami,” she smiled. She did know my name! Her name was Sylvia. She asked why I missed practice. I explained about Mattie. Then Sylvia said, “Being onstage makes me nervous. My grandmother pays for my lessons, and she’s flying in from Colorado to watch the performance. I’m afraid I’ll mess up.” “I get nervous too,” I told her. “Don’t worry, you’ll do great.” Over the next few days, I kept thinking about Sylvia. She was nervous but still dancing. She needed a partner. If I quit, she would be alone onstage. That didn’t seem fair. 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。 The next Friday morning, as I stared at the single shoe in my hand, I made up my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The night of the holiday program, I stood backstage with Sylvia, my heart beating fast. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
