Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his Tenth Symphony(交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist s final composition.
Dr. Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019. He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven s 250th birthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included the music composer Walter and Dr. Ahmed, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market.
Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven s work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven s plans for the Tenth Symphony.
The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven s original composition, Ahmed s team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven s Tenth Symphony!
The composition was first released on October 9, 2021. Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy(争议). Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process. Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.

Traditional Chinese painting and dance are two distinct parts of the art world. But what if they meet each other
A dance drama titled Poetic Dance:The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV s Spring Festival Gala and became a hit.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 910-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its huge size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a blue-green Chinese landscape: “mountains and groupings of the infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an ‘exhibition’. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did long ago.”
Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows pay attention to traditional Chinese culture and have received a warm welcome. As for why, it is due to people s great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. They hug Chinese culture and are proud of it,” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station s Innovation Center, told China Daily.
5.What is the function of Paragraph 1 in the passage
A.To present a common phenomenon. B.To ask readers a question.
C.To describe the art world. D.To introduce the topic.
6.What can we learn about the painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains from the passage
A.It was painted in several bright colors. B.It shows natural beauty vividly.
C.It was created over a thousand years ago. D.It is of small size but includes great details.
7.Why are shows about traditional Chinese culture becoming popular according to Yao Wei
A.People are more open to traditional culture.
B.People are happy to see new forms of art.
C.Chinese culture has been spreading around the world.
D.People have gained more access to traditional culture.
8.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Passion for Traditional Chinese Art. B.Art Coming Alive Through Dance.
C.Beauty Presented in Poetic Dance. D.Highlights in Traditional Chinese Culture.

Ⅰ.1.are 考查时态及主谓一致。本句阐述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且句子主语three very successful artists为复数,故本空应用are。
2.whose 考查非限制性定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,且逗号前的句子意思完整,不缺成分,结合句意“弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家,他(创作)的大型雕塑在世界各地进行展出。”可知,本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Florentijn Hofman,关系词在从句中作定语,修饰名词sculptures,故本空应用关系代词whose。
3.passed 考查过去分词。本句已有谓语came,故此处应用非谓语动词。此处表示“世代相传的中国民间故事”,故本空在句中作后置定语,修饰名词短语Chinese folk tales。pass down和被修饰的名词短语之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式作定语。句意:霍夫曼的《浮鱼》的灵感源自中国世代相传的民间故事。

3.looks 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:如果柱子看起来像一棵树,那么建模就比绘制建筑图纸更容易。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据上下文语境可知,此处描述客观事实,If引导的条件状语从句应用一般现在时,look与其逻辑主语the pillar之间为主动关系,且主语 the pillar是可数名词单数,所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填looks。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist s final composition.”可知,现在一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了这位艺术家的最终作品。由此可推断出,第一段的主要目的是介绍一种创新的音乐创作方法,故选D项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三、四段内容,尤其根据第四段中的“The team then began the slow and careful task”及“And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven s Tenth Symphony!”可推断出,这个团队的工作是充满挑战的(challenging),故选C项。inspiring鼓舞人心的;steady平稳的;boring乏味的。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据下文“AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways”可知,人工智能软件并不是要取代人类——它只是一个帮助艺术家以新的方式表达自己的工具。由此可推断出,批评者认为,技术不应该被用来复制人类的创造过程。故画线词“replicate”意为“复制”,故选B项。
4.B 主旨大意题。通读文章并根据第一段中的“Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence(AI) to complete the artist s final composition.”可知,本文介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬未完成的作品,故B项“人工智能帮助完成贝多芬未完成的交响乐”为最佳标题。
易错归因 本题易错选C项“一组专家完成了一项不可能的任务”,此表述本身无错,但是文章主要介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲,文章多次提到了AI技术,所以文章标题也应提到AI,故不选此项。
【高频词汇】 1.undoubtedly adv.无疑,毋庸置疑地
2.come up with 提出,想出 3.appropriate adj.适当的;合适的 4.a broad range of 广泛的 5.narrow v.缩小;使变窄 6.detail v.详细列举,详细说明 7.original adj.原先的,最初的 8.release v.发行;公开
【差距词汇】 1.enlist v.争取,征募 2.familiarize v.(使)熟悉;了解,(使)通晓 3.initially adv.最初,开始
4.interpret v.理解;解释,诠释;口译;演绎
长难句 原句 Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。“that he thought...have written”为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the one;“what the artist would have written”为what引导的宾语从句。
译文 沃尔特会听它们,然后选择一个他认为最接近这位艺术家本来想写的交响曲。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作者以在中国中央电视台的春节联欢晚会上演出而爆红的舞蹈《只此青绿》为例子,说明了中国传统绘画和舞蹈结合在一起产生的巨大的文化艺术魅力。
5.D 推理判断题。第一段提到了中国传统绘画和舞蹈的关系,接下来文章围绕这个话题,主要描述了在宋代山水画《千里江山图》的基础上改编的舞蹈《只此青绿》所带来的艺术魅力,因此第一段的作用是引出文章的话题。故选D。
6.B 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“It shows a blue-green Chinese landscape: ‘mountains and groupings of the infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water’.(它展现了一幅中国蓝绿相间的风景:‘在万里无云的天空和波光粼粼的流水之间连绵起伏的群山 。)”可推知,《千里江山图》生动形象地展现了大自然的美。故选B。
7.A 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The younger generations have grown up...proud of it”可知,姚伟认为中国传统文化能够受欢迎是因为人们对传统文化有着更加开放的心态。故选A。
8.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,文章的脉络结构可见下图:
由此可知,文章主要描写的是传统文化通过舞蹈的形式被生动形象地展现出来,二者结合产生了巨大的艺术魅力。故B项“舞蹈让艺术焕发生机”为最佳标题。
【高频词汇】 1.title v.给……加标题 n.标题;称号
2.detail n.细节;琐事 3.review n.(对书籍、戏剧、电影等的)评论 4.generation n.一代人;一代,一辈
5.director n.董事;导演;指挥者
【熟词生义】 1.stage vt.上演;举办 2.hit n.很受欢迎的人(或事物)
长难句 原句 Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its huge size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV.
分析 本句是简单句。“Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18”是过去分词短语作状语。
译文 据中国中央电视台报道,这幅画作由宋代画家王希孟于18岁左右创作,其巨大的尺寸、丰富的色彩和富有表现力的细节令人叹为观止。

(2023 四川绵阳月考)
Traditional Chinese painting and dance are two distinct parts of the art world. But what if they meet each other
A dance drama titled Poetic Dance:The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV s Spring Festival Gala and became a hit.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 910-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its huge size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a blue-green Chinese landscape: “mountains and groupings of the infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an ‘exhibition’. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did long ago.”
Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows pay attention to traditional Chinese culture and have received a warm welcome. As for why, it is due to people s great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. They hug Chinese culture and are proud of it,” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station s Innovation Center, told China Daily.

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.are 考查时态及主谓一致。本句阐述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且句子主语three very successful artists为复数,故本空应用are。
2.whose 考查非限制性定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,且逗号前的句子意思完整,不缺成分,结合句意“弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家,他(创作)的大型雕塑在世界各地进行展出。”可知,本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Florentijn Hofman,关系词在从句中作定语,修饰名词sculptures,故本空应用关系代词whose。
3.passed 考查过去分词。本句已有谓语came,故此处应用非谓语动词。此处表示“世代相传的中国民间故事”,故本空在句中作后置定语,修饰名词短语Chinese folk tales。pass down和被修饰的名词短语之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式作定语。句意:霍夫曼的《浮鱼》的灵感源自中国世代相传的民间故事。

2.understandable 考查形容词。句意:当我们知道关于他的建筑他主要受到自然的影响时,那种方法是可以理解的。分析句子结构可知,此处应用形容词作表语,understandable意为“可以理解的”,符合语境。
3.looks 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:如果柱子看起来像一棵树,那么建模就比绘制建筑图纸更容易。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据上下文语境可知,此处描述客观事实,If引导的条件状语从句应用一般现在时,look与其逻辑主语the pillar之间为主动关系,且主语 the pillar是可数名词单数,所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填looks。
4.to make 考查不定式。句意参考上题。根据句意和空前的than可知,此处应用动词不定式与to model构成两个在形式上对等的比较对象。故填to make。
5.a 考查冠词。句意:他发明了一种独特的技术,他可以通过这种技术用废弃的陶瓷片制作装饰品。分析句子结构可知,technique为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处应使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示 “一种独特的技术”,为泛指意义,应用不定冠词,且unique 的发音以辅音音素开头,所以此处应用不定冠词a。
6.whose 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:Antoni Gaudí的灵感来自大自然,在他的职业生涯中,他主要从事加泰罗尼亚现代主义风格的工作。分析句子结构可知, “ 6 inspiration was from nature”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Antoni Gaudí,设空处在定语从句中作定语,修饰名词inspiration,故填whose。

9.exhibition 考查名词。句意:1957年,Gaudí的第一个国际展览在纽约现代艺术博物馆举办。分析句子结构可知,此处为名词作主语,根据句子的谓语动词was organized可知,此处应为名词单数形式。故填exhibition。
10.have been declared 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,他的七件作品已被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据句中的时间状语So far today可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语seven of his works与declare之间是被动关系,所以句子应用被动语态,主语为复数形式,故填have been declared。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist s final composition.”可知,现在一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了这位艺术家的最终作品。由此可推断出,第一段的主要目的是介绍一种创新的音乐创作方法,故选D项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三、四段内容,尤其根据第四段中的“The team then began the slow and careful task”及“And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven s Tenth Symphony!”可推断出,这个团队的工作是充满挑战的(challenging),故选C项。inspiring鼓舞人心的;steady平稳的;boring乏味的。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据下文“AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways”可知,人工智能软件并不是要取代人类——它只是一个帮助艺术家以新的方式表达自己的工具。由此可推断出,批评者认为,技术不应该被用来复制人类的创造过程。故画线词“replicate”意为“复制”,故选B项。
4.B 主旨大意题。通读文章并根据第一段中的“Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence(AI) to complete the artist s final composition.”可知,本文介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬未完成的作品,故B项“人工智能帮助完成贝多芬未完成的交响乐”为最佳标题。
易错归因 本题易错选C项“一组专家完成了一项不可能的任务”,此表述本身无错,但是文章主要介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲,文章多次提到了AI技术,所以文章标题也应提到AI,故不选此项。

长难句 原句 Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。“that he thought...have written”为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the one;“what the artist would have written”为what引导的宾语从句。
译文 沃尔特会听它们,然后选择一个他认为最接近这位艺术家本来想写的交响曲。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作者以在中国中央电视台的春节联欢晚会上演出而爆红的舞蹈《只此青绿》为例子,说明了中国传统绘画和舞蹈结合在一起产生的巨大的文化艺术魅力。
5.D 推理判断题。第一段提到了中国传统绘画和舞蹈的关系,接下来文章围绕这个话题,主要描述了在宋代山水画《千里江山图》的基础上改编的舞蹈《只此青绿》所带来的艺术魅力,因此第一段的作用是引出文章的话题。故选D。
6.B 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“It shows a blue-green Chinese landscape: ‘mountains and groupings of the infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water’.(它展现了一幅中国蓝绿相间的风景:‘在万里无云的天空和波光粼粼的流水之间连绵起伏的群山 。)”可推知,《千里江山图》生动形象地展现了大自然的美。故选B。
7.A 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The younger generations have grown up...proud of it”可知,姚伟认为中国传统文化能够受欢迎是因为人们对传统文化有着更加开放的心态。故选A。
8.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,文章的脉络结构可见下图:
由此可知,文章主要描写的是传统文化通过舞蹈的形式被生动形象地展现出来,二者结合产生了巨大的艺术魅力。故B项“舞蹈让艺术焕发生机”为最佳标题。

长难句 原句 Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its huge size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV.
