Today, I’d like to share with you something about John James Audubon. John was born on April twenty-sixth, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France, where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of eighteen, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their differences. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family. So he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John James Audubon. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）If there’s one festival that doesn’t need an introduction, it would be Glastonbury. It’s undoubtedly the most famous performing arts and music festival in the UK, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans to its gates every year. Tickets cost around $248 and go on sale in November of the year before the festival. They include five-day festival entry and a camping space for five nights and can be got on glastonbury.seetickets.com. Glastonbury is held over five days in Pilton, Somerset. What to expect? Well, more than 30,000 performers play across over 100 stages here. And you can expect a lot more than just live music here. As a festival of performing arts, Glastonbury hosts dance, comedy, theater, circus, and other events. Over the five days, the festival becomes a self-contained (自给自足的) village with lots of campsites, stages, food markets, and relaxation spaces. Each part feels different. You can find everything from campfires to political stages to outdoor movies. If you camp on-site, remember exactly where you park your car and set up your tent. You’d be surprised at how many people get lost in a sea of tents. When: June Where: Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset Where to Stay: While camping on-site is all part of the fun, you could choose to improve your accommodation (住宿) and find a comfortable hotel without spending too much. 21．(2.5分)What is included in the ticket? A．A five-night camping place. B．Five-day parking. C．A hotel room nearby. D．Food at the markets. 22．(2.5分)What can visitors do at Glastonbury? A．Visit art exhibitions. B．Enjoy dance and comedy. C．Meet famous movie stars. D．See movies indoors. 23．(2.5分)Where is the text probably taken from? A．A music textbook. B．A news report. C．A travel magazine. D．A theater guide. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国著名的格拉斯顿伯里艺术音乐节，包括其门票内容、丰富活动以及场地特色，并提供时间和住宿建议。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“Tickets cost around $248 and go on sale in November of the year before the festival. They include five-day festival entry and a camping space for five nights and can be got on glastonbury.seetickets.com. (门票价格约为248美元，在节日前一年的11月开始销售。门票包括五天的音乐节入场券和五晚的露营场地，可以在glastonbury.seetickets.com上预订。)”可知，门票包括五晚的露营场地。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a festival of performing arts, Glastonbury hosts dance, comedy, theater, circus, and other events．(作为表演艺术节，格拉斯顿伯里提供舞蹈、喜剧、戏剧、马戏等演出。)”可知，游客可以在这里欣赏舞蹈和喜剧表演。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“If there’s one festival that doesn’t need an introduction, it would be Glastonbury．It’s undoubtedly the most famous performing arts and music festival in the UK, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans to its gates every year．(如果有一个音乐节不需要介绍，那就是格拉斯顿伯里音乐节了。这无疑是英国最著名的表演艺术和音乐节，每年都会吸引成千上万的粉丝来到这里。)”可知，文章主要介绍格拉斯顿伯里音乐节的时间、地点、门票、活动、住宿建议等，属于旅游或活动指南类的文章。因此，文章最有可能摘自一本旅游杂志。故选C项。 （本题10分）Had she been a singer, she might have been an American star. 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）Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways. These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: You likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day. Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information. The rhythmic structure of language is present in music and speech. When your child sings songs they will pick up on natural and unnatural rhythms. Pauses and stressed syllables (音节) or words are used in conversations to express emotion, and stress key points in conversations. Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information. Music floods into all areas of the brain, allowing itself to be stored in multiple memory locations. The ability to retain information is increased when the child stores memories into multiple areas. Children learn language quicker through songs rather than lectures. Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory. Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters. There are small differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children. Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for a child to distinguish the difference on paper, but their learned ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading. 28．(2.5分)Why are simple songs powerful for children? A．They develop deep thinking. B．They teach special skills. C．They improve singing skills. D．They have lasting effects. 29．(2.5分)Why are songs good for language learning? A．They make repetition achievable. B．They help with long-term memory. C．They teache difficult expressions. D．They are more interesting than talks. 30．(2.5分)What may happen if a child fails to maintain a beat? A．Bad writing habits. B．Poor reading skills. C．Less speaking fluency. D．Loss of hearing. 31．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．Songs and brain areas. B．Rhythms in language. C．Songs in child development. D．Songs and consonants. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．B 31．C 【导语】主要介绍了简单歌曲对儿童学习、记忆、语言发展、阅读能力等成长方面的积极作用，阐述了歌曲对儿童发展的重要价值。 【详解】28．细节理解题。 根据第一段中“Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways. These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever(简单的歌曲以有趣的方式教会孩子重要的生活技能。这些歌曲能够对孩子的一生产生持久的影响。)”可知，简单歌曲对儿童作用强大是因为它们能产生持久的影响。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory.(如果你的孩子还小，唱歌是教他们不熟悉的单词和短语的好方法。这些短期记忆训练不断重复，能将学到的语言转化为长期记忆。)”可知，歌曲能够帮助语言知识转化为长期记忆，对语言学习有益。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.(研究发现，保持节拍与阅读能力之间存在显著关联。当孩子保持节拍时，他们使用的大脑区域与负责听辨语音并将其与字母联系起来的区域是相同的。)”可知，保持节拍用到的大脑区域和阅读所需的大脑区域一致，如果孩子跟不上节拍，阅读能力会较差。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways．These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: You likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day．Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information.(简单的歌曲以有趣的方式教会孩子重要的生活技能。这些歌曲会永远影响你孩子的生活：你可能还记得童年时的歌曲，这些歌曲教会了你人生的教训和新单词，你可能至今还记得。同样，在日常活动中使用歌曲可以提高孩子学习和记忆新信息的能力。)”并结合全文可知，本文围绕简单歌曲对儿童各方面成长发展的好处展开，介绍歌曲教会孩子生活技能、助力语言记忆、提升阅读能力，核心内容是强调歌曲在儿童成长中的作用。 （本题10分）Recently, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an artificial intelligence(AI) tool, called MusicLM, built to create music. It is not the first AI music tool to launch. But the examples Google provides demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. AI shows how complex computer systems have been trained to behave in human-like ways. Google engineers explain the MusicLM system this way. First, a user comes up with a word or words that describe the kind of music they want the tool to create. For example, a user could enter this short phrase into the system: “a continuous calming violin backed by a soft guitar sound.”The descriptions entered can include different music styles, instruments or other existing sounds. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions,such as “jazz”, or “techno”. The system created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In the resulting recording, the music seems to keep very close to the description. The team said that the more detailed the description is, the better the system can attempt to produce it. In addition to generating new music from written descriptions, the team said the system can also create examples based on a person’s own singing, whistling or playing an instrument. The researchers said the tool “produces high-quality music...over several minutes, while being faithful to the text conditioning signal”. Although MusicLM hasn’t been released for public use, Google announced it was releasing a “high-quality dataset” of more than 5,500 music-writing pairs prepared by professional musicians called MusicCaps. The researchers took that step to assist in the development of other AI music generators. The MusicLM researchers said they believe they have designed a new tool to help anyone quickly and easily create high-quality music selections. However, the team said it also recognizes some risks linked to the machine learning process. 32．(2.5分)Which instruction may help create the most accurate music by MusicLM? A．Rock and roll. B．A piano piece to uplift one’s spirits. C．Eastern music. D．A mixed sound of guitar and violin. 33．(2.5分)Why did Google release the MusicCaps dataset? A．To allow the public to use MusicLM. B．To display the capabilitiesof MusicLM. C．To help develop other AI music generators. D．To promote the MusicCaps music-writing service. 34．(2.5分)What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph? A．Problems about the new tool. B．Advantages of using MusicLM. C．Background of the research team. D．Application of AI technology. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage? A．MusicCaps behave in human-like ways. B．AI makes music accessible to ordinary people. C．Musicians recognize the true value of MusicLM. D．MusicLM creates music from written descriptions. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了谷歌发明的名为MusicLM的人工智能(AI)工具，该工具用于创作音乐。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were publihed online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions,such as “jazz”, or “techno”. The system created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In the resulting recording, the music seems to keep very close to the description. The team said that the more detailed the description is, the better the system can attempt to produce it.(MusicLM制作的几个不同的音乐示例在网上发布。有些生成的音乐仅仅来自一两个词的描述，如“爵士”或“电子乐”。该系统从包含完整句子的更详细的描述中创建了其他示例。在最终的录音中，音乐似乎与描述非常接近。该团队表示，描述越详细，系统就能更好地尝试生成它)”可知，描述越详细，系统就能更好地尝试生成它，结合选项，B项“A piano piece to uplift one’s spirits.(振奋精神的钢琴曲)”描述的最详细。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Although MusicLM hasn’t been released for public use, Google announced it was releasing a “high-quality dataset” of more than 5,500 music-writing pairs prepared by professional musicians called MusicCaps．The researchers took that step to assist in the development of other AI music generators.(虽然MusicLM还没有发布供公众使用，但谷歌宣布它将发布一个“高质量的数据集”，其中包含5500多对由专业音乐家编写的音乐创作组合，名为MusicCaps。研究人员采取这一步骤是为了帮助开发其他人工智能音乐生成器)”可知，谷歌发布MusicCaps数据集是为了帮助开发其他AI音乐生成器。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The MusicLM researchers said they believe they have designed a new tool to help anyone quickly and easily create high-quality music selections．However, the team said it also recognizes some risks linked to the machine learning process.(MusicLM的研究人员表示，他们相信他们已经设计出一种新工具，可以帮助任何人快速、轻松地选择高质量的音乐。然而，该团队表示，他们也认识到与机器学习过程相关的一些风险)”可知，最后一段提到了机器学习过程相关的一些风险，所以接下来应该是讨论具体的风险有哪些。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Recently, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an artificial intelligence(AI) tool, called MusicLM, built to create music.(最近，谷歌的研究人员发表了一篇论文，描述了一种名为MusicLM的人工智能(AI)工具的结果，该工具用于创作音乐)”以及第二段“First, a user comes up with a word or words that describe the kind of music they want the tool to create.(首先，用户想出一个或多个单词来描述他们希望该工具创建的音乐类型)”和第三段“In addition to generating new music from written descriptions,the team said the system can also create examples based on a person’s own singing, whistling or playing an instrument.(该团队表示，除了从文字描述中生成新音乐外，该系统还可以根据一个人自己的歌唱、吹口哨或演奏乐器来创建示例)”可知，本文主要讲述了MusicLM根据书面描述创作音乐。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）Why singing in the shower helps reduce stress and worry It lowers self-consciousness (自我意识) Have you noticed how singing in public can be frightening? ___36(2.5分)___.

(但在淋浴时，门是关着的。这通常是一个安全的私人空间，在那里你可以感到放松，不再过于关注自己在唱歌时在别人眼中的形象。)”可知，空格处需解释“公共场合唱歌害怕”的原因。E项“That’s because we’re often worried about others’ opinions.(那是因为我们经常担心别人的看法。)”符合语境，“That’s because”承接前文“frightening”，“worried about others’ opinions” 与下文“focus too much on how you appear in others’ eyes” 呼应，解释了恐惧的根源，承上启下。故选E项。 37．由上文“It uses the power of music treatment (它借助了音乐疗法的力量)”和下文“Music can affect parts of the brain connected to feelings, memory, and healing.(音乐能影响大脑中与情感、记忆和治愈相关的区域。)”可知，空格处需引出“音乐/唱歌对健康的益处”，衔接“音乐疗法”的主题。F项“More than one expert says that singing is good for people’s health.(不止一位专家表示唱歌对人的健康有益。)”符合语境，“singing is good for people’s health”呼应 “music treatment”，为下文“音乐影响大脑”的科学解释提供观点支撑，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 38．由上文“Choose some cheerful songs.(选择一些欢快的歌曲。)”和下文“even if it’s just for a moment.(即使只是片刻也好。)”可知，空格处需说明“唱欢快歌曲”的效果。D项“Singing them out can help change your bad feelings.(把它们唱出来有助于改变你的不良情绪。)”符合语境，“them”指代上文“cheerful songs”，“change your bad feelings”承接“音乐疗法” 的核心作用，与下文“片刻效果”衔接自然。故选D项。 39．由下文“A certain song can take you back to your teenage years or help you remember a treasured event.(某首歌能带你回到青少年时期，或帮你回忆起一件珍贵的往事。)”可知，空格处需点明“音乐与回忆的关联”。A项“Music often acts as a time machine.(音乐常常像一台时光机。)”符合语境，“time machine”生动概括下文“歌曲带回忆”的内容，“Music”与段落主题“connects good memories”呼应，准确作为段落总起句。故选A项。 40．由上文“Plenty of experts talk about the need for true self-expression.(很多专家都谈到真正自我表达的必要性。)”和下文“Singing— even if it’s just an old pop song— is a way to express yourself.(唱歌——即使只是一首古老的流行歌曲——也是一种表达自己的方式。)”可知，空格处需从反面说明“不表达情绪”的危害。G项“When you bottle up your feelings, the stress inside you grows bigger and bigger.(当你压抑情绪时，内心的压力会越来越大。)”符合语境，“bottle up your feelings”与“self-expression”形成对比，解释了“自我表达必要”的原因，为下文“唱歌是表达方式”做铺垫。故选G项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）As a freshman, Vaughan joined a choir (合唱) class and landed a solo (独唱) in the first school concert.

The towering buildings and endless traffic were totally different from the sunsets on the beach she had always known. On her first day at Oakwood High, she felt like an outsider—a quiet girl lost in a sea of joyful strangers. Her classmates were friendly but distant. Everyone seemed to have their own groups, their own jokes, and their own rhythm (节奏). Lily’s only comfort was her violin, the one thing that reminded her of home. She’d practice it every evening, letting the music carry her back to the sound of waves and the smell of salt. One day, her music teacher announced a duet (二重奏) competition. Lily was matched with Emma, the most outgoing girl in class. She wore bright colors, laughed loudly, and always had a group around her. Lily, on the other hand, preferred staying alone. When she heard the news, her heart sank. She had hoped to perform alone — to hide in the safety of her own notes. Their first practice was a disaster. Emma wanted to play a modern piece, full of energy, while Lily insisted on something classical and familiar. “Why can’t we try something new?” Emma asked, tapping her foot impatiently. “Because I’m not used to it,” Lily replied softly. “I like knowing what comes next.” “But music isn’t about repeating the same old patterns (模式). It’s about feeling!” Emma stressed. They couldn’t agree. The more Emma pushed, the more Lily withdrew (退缩). After three unsuccessful rehearsals (排练), Emma sighed in frustration. “You know, if you keep hiding in your shell, you’ll never really belong here.” The words stung. Lily packed her violin without a word and left. That evening, she didn’t practice but thought about Emma’s words. Was she really hiding? Was she so afraid of change that she’d rather be alone than adapt? 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Lily found Emma in the classroom ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They didn’t win the first prize, but it didn’t matter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next day, Lily found Emma in the classroom. Lily walked up to her, taking a deep breath. “Emma, I’ve thought about what you said. Maybe I’ve been too stuck in my ways. Let’s try your modern piece and see how it goes.” Emma’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s great! I promise we’ll make it work.” From then on, they practiced with new enthusiasm. Lily gradually got used to the lively rhythm of the modern music, and Emma also learned to appreciate the beauty of classical elements. They blended the two styles, creating a unique and wonderful duet.The long-awaited competition finally arrived. Even though they had made thorough preparations for it, they still failed to achieve their wish. They didn’t win the first prize, but it didn’t matter. What mattered was that Lily had stepped out of her comfort zone. She was no longer the quiet girl lost in the crowd. Through this experience, she had made a true friend in Emma. The competition had not only brought them closer musically but also personally. Lily realized that adapting to change and embracing new things could lead to amazing discoveries and friendships, which would be deeply rooted in her heart. She was looking forward to more adventures in this new city. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了莉莉从海滨小镇搬到城市后，在学校遇到了性格外向的埃玛。两人因二重奏比赛产生分歧，但最终通过沟通和理解，一起尝试新风格的音乐。虽然比赛未获奖，但莉莉学会了适应变化，并与埃玛建立了真挚的友谊，找到了归属感。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，莉莉在教室里找到了艾玛。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉主动找艾玛沟通，两人决定尝试融合两种音乐风格进行排练的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“她们没有获得一等奖，但这并不重要。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉通过这次经历走出舒适区，收获友谊和成长，并期待未来更多冒险的感悟。 2．续写线索： 主动沟通——尝试新风格——排练进步——未获奖但收获成长——收获友谊——感悟与期待 3．词汇激活 行为类 ①习惯于：get used to/be accustomed to ②欣赏：appreciate/admire ③意识到： realize/be aware of ④重要：matter/count 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing ②热情地：with enthusiasm/fervently 【点睛】[高分句型1].

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）Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways. These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: You likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day. Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information. The rhythmic structure of language is present in music and speech. When your child sings songs they will pick up on natural and unnatural rhythms. Pauses and stressed syllables (音节) or words are used in conversations to express emotion, and stress key points in conversations. Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information. Music floods into all areas of the brain, allowing itself to be stored in multiple memory locations. The ability to retain information is increased when the child stores memories into multiple areas. Children learn language quicker through songs rather than lectures. Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory. Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters. There are small differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children. Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for a child to distinguish the difference on paper, but their learned ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading. 28．(2.5分)Why are simple songs powerful for children? A．They develop deep thinking. B．They teach special skills. C．They improve singing skills. D．They have lasting effects. 29．(2.5分)Why are songs good for language learning? A．They make repetition achievable. B．They help with long-term memory. C．They teache difficult expressions. D．They are more interesting than talks. 30．(2.5分)What may happen if a child fails to maintain a beat? A．Bad writing habits. B．Poor reading skills. C．Less speaking fluency. D．Loss of hearing. 31．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．Songs and brain areas. B．Rhythms in language. C．Songs in child development. D．Songs and consonants. （本题10分）Recently, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an artificial intelligence(AI) tool, called MusicLM, built to create music. It is not the first AI music tool to launch. But the examples Google provides demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. AI shows how complex computer systems have been trained to behave in human-like ways. Google engineers explain the MusicLM system this way. First, a user comes up with a word or words that describe the kind of music they want the tool to create. For example, a user could enter this short phrase into the system: “a continuous calming violin backed by a soft guitar sound.”The descriptions entered can include different music styles, instruments or other existing sounds. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions,such as “jazz”, or “techno”. The system created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In the resulting recording, the music seems to keep very close to the description. The team said that the more detailed the description is, the better the system can attempt to produce it. In addition to generating new music from written descriptions, the team said the system can also create examples based on a person’s own singing, whistling or playing an instrument. The researchers said the tool “produces high-quality music...over several minutes, while being faithful to the text conditioning signal”. Although MusicLM hasn’t been released for public use, Google announced it was releasing a “high-quality dataset” of more than 5,500 music-writing pairs prepared by professional musicians called MusicCaps. The researchers took that step to assist in the development of other AI music generators. The MusicLM researchers said they believe they have designed a new tool to help anyone quickly and easily create high-quality music selections. However, the team said it also recognizes some risks linked to the machine learning process. 32．(2.5分)Which instruction may help create the most accurate music by MusicLM? A．Rock and roll. B．A piano piece to uplift one’s spirits. C．Eastern music. D．A mixed sound of guitar and violin. 33．(2.5分)Why did Google release the MusicCaps dataset? A．To allow the public to use MusicLM. B．To display the capabilitiesof MusicLM. C．To help develop other AI music generators. D．To promote the MusicCaps music-writing service. 34．(2.5分)What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph? A．Problems about the new tool. B．Advantages of using MusicLM. C．Background of the research team. D．Application of AI technology. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage? A．MusicCaps behave in human-like ways. B．AI makes music accessible to ordinary people. C．Musicians recognize the true value of MusicLM. D．MusicLM creates music from written descriptions. （本题12.5分）Why singing in the shower helps reduce stress and worry It lowers self-consciousness (自我意识) Have you noticed how singing in public can be frightening? ___36(2.5分)___.

The towering buildings and endless traffic were totally different from the sunsets on the beach she had always known. On her first day at Oakwood High, she felt like an outsider—a quiet girl lost in a sea of joyful strangers. Her classmates were friendly but distant. Everyone seemed to have their own groups, their own jokes, and their own rhythm (节奏). Lily’s only comfort was her violin, the one thing that reminded her of home. She’d practice it every evening, letting the music carry her back to the sound of waves and the smell of salt. One day, her music teacher announced a duet (二重奏) competition. Lily was matched with Emma, the most outgoing girl in class. She wore bright colors, laughed loudly, and always had a group around her. Lily, on the other hand, preferred staying alone. When she heard the news, her heart sank. She had hoped to perform alone — to hide in the safety of her own notes. Their first practice was a disaster. Emma wanted to play a modern piece, full of energy, while Lily insisted on something classical and familiar. “Why can’t we try something new?” Emma asked, tapping her foot impatiently. “Because I’m not used to it,” Lily replied softly. “I like knowing what comes next.” “But music isn’t about repeating the same old patterns (模式). It’s about feeling!” Emma stressed. They couldn’t agree. The more Emma pushed, the more Lily withdrew (退缩). After three unsuccessful rehearsals (排练), Emma sighed in frustration. “You know, if you keep hiding in your shell, you’ll never really belong here.” The words stung. Lily packed her violin without a word and left. That evening, she didn’t practice but thought about Emma’s words. Was she really hiding? Was she so afraid of change that she’d rather be alone than adapt? 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Lily found Emma in the classroom ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They didn’t win the first prize, but it didn’t matter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $听力考试正式开始。Do you have a program?
