第一节 阅读表达（共5小题: 每小题2分, 满分10分）
阅读下面短文, 完成短文后的问题。
Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the world’s most-loved composers （作曲家）, is famous for his nine symphonies （交响乐）. Before he died in 1827, he began a new symphony, but never finished it. He only left behind some notes about the piece and a few “sketches"-short bits of written music.
In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians （历史学家） was formed. Their goal was to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn't just want to complete the symphony, they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write.
The team decided to use artificial intelligence （AI人工智能）to help finish the symphony. To train an AI, they turned every piece of Beethoven's music to a form the computer could understand. By doing this, the AI could look for patterns （模式） in the way Beethoven wrote. They also studied Beethoven's notes and sketches to work out where in the symphony he planned to use each little bit of music.
In an early test, the team took a few minutes of music created by the AI seed on Beethoven's sketches, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts were made up by the AI.
Finally, the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits to a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony-not simply a melody （乐曲）, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra （管弦乐队）. On the night of October 9th, 2021, the piece was performed for the first time ever by the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, Germany. So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn't write it all, the - team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he'd had the chance.
41. What was the team’s goal （日标）？
_______________________________________________________________________
42. What did the team do to train an Al
_______________________________________________________________________
43. What was the result of the team's early test

44. How long did it take the team to complete the 10th Symphony
