Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fifty years ago, the well－loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (发嘘声).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 (原声的) 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.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。鲍勃·迪伦是二十世纪美国最重要和最有影响力的民谣、摇滚歌手，影响了美国的音乐文化。
1.How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival
A.Unsatisfied. B.Respectful.
C.Uncaring. D.Excited.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fifty years ago, the well－loved musician Bob Dylan...helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States.”可知，当迪伦在纽波特民谣音乐节上演奏时，观众感到很不满意。
√
2.Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald
A.Great changes had taken place in folk music.
B.People had grown sincere love for rock music.
C.Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend.
D.Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time.
解析 正误判断题。根据第四段中“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.”可推知，民谣曾经是主流流行趋势。
√
3.What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do
A.Introduce the world to the Beatles.
B.Change folk music for better.
C.Play rock and roll against the Beatles.
D.Recover the glory of folk music.
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The ‘British Invasion’ introduced the world...says Elijah Wald.”和第六段“They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue.”可知，摇滚音乐兴起，这引起了许多民谣音乐家的担忧。由此推知，民谣音乐家和粉丝们期望迪伦可以恢复美国民谣的辉煌。
√
4.What will the author most probably talk about next
A.Dylan’s beliefs in the new direction music should go.
B.Dylan’s deep love for the Beatles, rock and roll music.
C.Dylan’s music as a great contribution to American folk music.
D.Dylan’s performance as a mark of a change in American culture.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Beyond the music, Dylan’s performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.”可推知，作者接下来最有可能谈论迪伦的表演是美国文化变革的标志。

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 (音调) 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 (认知的) skills and emphasizes the value of exposing children to different languages and providing them with musical education for their overall development.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。加州大学圣地亚哥分校最近的一项研究表明，与那些说英语的孩子相比，3至5岁的孩子在学习普通话时可以提高他们的音乐能力，尤其是在理解音高方面。
5.What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A.To introduce the concept of musical pitches.
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.
解析 写作意图题。根据文章第一段“A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that...compared to those who speak English.”可知，第一段的写作目的是为了提供研究结果供讨论。
√
6.What is the challenged idea according to paragraph 2
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.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This research challenges the idea that our mental abilities are entirely separate from each other.”可知，被挑战的观点是儿童在不同领域学到的技能是完全独立的。
√
7.What is compared between Mandarin and English learners
A.Tonal perception.
B.Language abilities.
C.Musical performances.
D.Knowledge development.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“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，汉语学习者和英语学习者在音调认知方面被比较。
√
8.What is the author’s attitude towards this study
A.Unclear. B.Approving.
C.Doubtful. D.Worried.
解析 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段可推知，作者对这项研究的态度是赞成的。

UNIT 5 MUSIC
Ⅰ.阅读理解
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 (院长) 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.”
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了耶鲁大学音乐学院院长罗伯特·布洛克。在他作为院长的无数贡献中，布洛克与中国的音乐家们建立了长期的关系。他曾到深圳、上海和杭州等城市给年轻人讲课。

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.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究表明学习音乐并不会提高孩子的智商，但是可以帮助孩子在其他方面有更好的表现。

解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music？...and some found that it doesn’t.”可知，该段所列举的例子是为了说明学习音乐会让一个孩子变得更聪明的论点具有争议性。
√

B.They observed children in music classes.
C.They examined plenty of previous research.
D.They did a long－term survey of musical students.

8.What conclusion is made in the last paragraph

Ⅰ.阅读理解
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(人工神经的) 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(变奏曲)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.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文，主要介绍了艺术家们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 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，在创作PROTO这张专辑时，Holly需要输入已经存在的由人或者人工智能创作的音乐。
√
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 段落大意题。第三段首句提出，Holly并不是唯一一个探索AI作曲的人，之后介绍了另外两个利用电脑创作音乐的案例。由此可知，第三段主要讲述了电脑合成音乐的发展历史。
√
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 写作意图题。根据第四段内容尤其是两个问句可知，作者举这个例子主要是想引发大家对人工智能音乐家的思考。
√
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 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“...I believe the next frontier(前沿) of music lies somewhere in between.I can see...certainly become wonderful...”可知，作者对由人类和机器人共同创造的音乐很有信心。
