Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Fifty years ago, the well－loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (發(fā)噓聲).The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan’s performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States.
The mid－1960s were a time of great change.One such place of change was the world of folk music.Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic (原聲的) to electric guitar.
Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change.It is called “Dylan Goes Electric”.
“There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records.And Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, all had huge, huge, huge number－one records.”
And then this happened: The “British Invasion” introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music.“That worried many folk musicians，” says Elijah Wald.
They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue.However, a new Dylan sound came from the stage.
Bob Dylan had gone electric, and the followers of folk music were not pleased.
“When Dylan went electric, I think one of the issues was the feeling that—wait a minute, he’s gone over to the enemy.”
Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll.But, author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music.
“Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn’t think of rock and roll as stupid music.” In fact, Dylan was a Beatles fan.He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he knew “they were pointing to the direction where music had to go”.
Beyond the music, Dylan’s performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。鮑勃·迪倫是二十世紀美國最重要和最有影響力的民謠、搖滾歌手，影響了美國的音樂文化。
1.How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival
A.Unsatisfied. B.Respectful.
C.Uncaring. D.Excited.

3.What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do
A.Introduce the world to the Beatles.
B.Change folk music for better.

A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that young children between the ages of 3 and 5 can improve their musical abilities, especially in understanding musical pitches (音高), when learning Mandarin, compared to those who speak English.
This research challenges the idea that our mental abilities are entirely separate from each other.It suggests that the skills children learn in one area can influence their learning in another.This raises questions about how our mental abilities relate to each other.
The study involved two experiments with similar groups of Mandarin and English learners, totaling 180 children.They were tested on tasks related to pitch (high or low notes)and timbre (音色) (the quality of sound).Both groups performed similarly on the task related to timbre.However, Mandarin speakers performed better than English speakers on tasks related to pitch.
Mandarin is a tonal language, which means the tone (音調(diào)) used when saying a word can change its meaning, not just add emphasis.For example, the Mandarin word “ma” can mean “mother”， “hemp (麻)”， “horse”， or “scold”， depending on how it’s spoken.This focus on pitch helps young Mandarin speakers understand musical pitches better.Since both language and music involve changes in pitch, the study aimed to find out if understanding pitch in language is different from understanding it in music.The results suggest that experience with understanding musical pitches can also help in understanding language pitches, and vice versa.
While learning Mandarin might offer an advantage due to its tonal nature, it’s important to note that the study doesn’t suggest replacing music lessons with language lessons or the other way around.Learning another language has many benefits, and music education remains important for musical skills.
In summary, this is an extremely valuable research, highlighting the connections between cognitive (認知的) skills and emphasizes the value of exposing children to different languages and providing them with musical education for their overall development.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。加州大學圣地亞哥分校最近的一項研究表明，與那些說英語的孩子相比，3至5歲的孩子在學習普通話時可以提高他們的音樂能力，尤其是在理解音高方面。

B.To offer the research result to be discussed.
C.To present the University of California San Diego.
D.To share a fact about children’s language development.

A.The benefits of musical education.
B.The difficulty of learning Mandarin.
C.The separation of children’s skills.
D.The importance of speaking English.

√
7.What is compared between Mandarin and English learners
A.Tonal perception.
B.Language abilities.
C.Musical performances.
D.Knowledge development.
解析　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“They were tested on tasks related to pitch...related to pitch.”和文章第五段“While learning Mandarin might offer an advantage due to its tonal nature”可知，漢語學習者和英語學習者在音調(diào)認知方面被比較。
√
8.What is the author’s attitude towards this study

UNIT 5　MUSIC
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
It was a warm evening in August in 1995.Robert Blocker was driving to Yale University after being appointed as the university’s Dean (院長) of Music.He didn’t expect to see many people, but a couple of students met him and showed him around.
“When I looked at the history of the university and how people are devoted to the school’s art programs, I was honored by the chance to work there.I could not wait for the next day to start my job.And that excitement never changed because every day was different.My job as dean was not scheduled.I walked around the campus and students talked to me.I went to rehearsals (排演) by the students and teachers and got inspired by them，” he adds.
After nearly three decades as the Dean of Music at Yale, the 77－year－old retired from the position on Aug 31.Also an expert pianist, he remains a professor of piano at the music school, as well as professor of leadership strategies at Yale School of Management.Among his countless contributions as dean, Blocker developed long－term relationships with fellow musicians in China.He once toured cities, including Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou, giving lectures to the youngsters.
“China is a very special place for me.I am very happy to be back to meet my friends and colleagues，” Blocker says, adding that he is particularly excited about being with young students.
Yang Suxian, director of the Shenzhen Piano Music Festival, says, “He has been very supportive and has participated in the Shenzhen Piano Music Festival for years.”
Blocker’s vision of a more hopeful world is reflected in his belief that music bridges the understanding between people.
“Music brings hope.People may speak different languages and have different ideas but music speaks to each other’s heart, and that’s why we keep this work going on and why the work never ends，” he says.“Our job is to let music heal the world by allowing us to understand and find a common place in our hearts.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。文章主要介紹了耶魯大學音樂學院院長羅伯特·布洛克。在他作為院長的無數(shù)貢獻中，布洛克與中國的音樂家們建立了長期的關(guān)系。他曾到深圳、上海和杭州等城市給年輕人講課。

B
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music.Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence.But this so－called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer.Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t.For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gobet (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully－selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes.That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not.Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills.And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non－music subject if the music is combined with these classes.So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了一項研究，該研究表明學習音樂并不會提高孩子的智商，但是可以幫助孩子在其他方面有更好的表現(xiàn)。

√
7.How did the researchers carry out the new study
A.They did 54 small studies in all.
B.They observed children in music classes.
C.They examined plenty of previous research.
D.They did a long－term survey of musical students.
解析　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“The researchers of the new study...looked at the data behind 54 carefully－selected studies”可知，Sala和Gobet是在參考以前的研究數(shù)據(jù)后總結(jié)出了新的研究成果。
√
8.What conclusion is made in the last paragraph
A.Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
B.Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
C.A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
D.Students should avoid listening to music while studying.
解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Music lessons could have helped in different ways...and keep encouraging children to learn music.”可知，新研究表明，雖然學習音樂并不會讓一個孩子更聰明，但是可以提升孩子的多種能力，所以還是應該鼓勵孩子學音樂。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
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(人工神經(jīng)的) 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(變奏曲)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 father 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 the Internet.“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 (前沿) 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.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文，主要介紹了藝術(shù)家們用人工智能作曲的探索。
1.What plays an important role in producing PROTO
A.Holly’s special voice.
B.Holly’s rich knowledge.
C.The input of existing music.
D.The use of an instrument.
解析　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知，在創(chuàng)作PROTO這張專輯時，Holly需要輸入已經(jīng)存在的由人或者人工智能創(chuàng)作的音樂。
√
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.The recent famous music artists.
B.The increasing diversity of AI music.
C.The development of computer science.
D.The history of computer－generated music.
解析　段落大意題。第三段首句提出，Holly并不是唯一一個探索AI作曲的人，之后介紹了另外兩個利用電腦創(chuàng)作音樂的案例。由此可知，第三段主要講述了電腦合成音樂的發(fā)展歷史。
√
3.Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa
A.To show the popularity of smart robots.
B.To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
C.To explain the tasks of computer－generated artists.
D.To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
解析　寫作意圖題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容尤其是兩個問句可知，作者舉這個例子主要是想引發(fā)大家對人工智能音樂家的思考。
√
4.What is the author’s attitude towards music co－created by AI and humans
A.Confident. B.Surprised.
C.Confused. D.Doubtful.
解析　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“...I believe the next frontier(前沿) of music lies somewhere in between.I can see...certainly become wonderful...”可知，作者對由人類和機器人共同創(chuàng)造的音樂很有信心。
