Suno stands out by offering full songs custom-tailored choices, making music creation simple and fun for everyone. It’s a glimpse into the future of music, where AI and humans together bring new sounds to life. Here’s how it works:
Entering Prompt (提示词)
*Just type in the description for your song. You can mention the style, feel, instruments, speed and what the song is about. The main thing to remember is that you can’t ask Suno to create something in the style of a particular artist.
AI Composition
*Based on your description, Suno’s AI comes up with a song that has everything: melody, chords, beats, instruments, and even singing.
Downloading and Sharing
*You can download the songs as MP3s, which means you can listen to them anywhere or share them with friends.

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.
The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer and worship, has 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows, cultivated fields and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).
Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues as this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”
He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even chop off parts to take home as souvenirs.
“When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.”
But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours.
Clottes disagrees. “The measure proposed by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”
24．What does the pronoun “they” (in the last sentence of paragraph 1) refer to
A．The rocks. B．The French Alps.
C．The drawings. D．The tourist sites.
25．Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain __________.
A．do not believe the drawings are old
B．believe they are allowed to paint there
C．think the drawings should be left alone
D．assume the drawings will not change
26．Henry de Lumley is keen to __________.
A．set up research projects B．safeguard public rights
C．keep out individual visitors D．ban traffic in the area
27．Clottes disagrees to Henry de Lumley’s suggestion because he thinks ___________________.
A．he has a better idea B．it is unlikely to work
C．visitors will protest against it D．it will annoy local people
C
I don't realize that I've been at college for nearly one and half year until now. Looking back into the last year, what shall I say It consisted of both happiness and sadness. Life always goes like this, up and down, as is so exciting. Now when I recall the past, no matter how I felt at that time, they are all treasures for me.
That was the moon festival last year, which was also the first time we went out after we entered the college. It was said that the sea in Dalian was well-known and was also a wonderful place to watch the moon. After getting all the food and drinking ready, we four girls set off for the seaside. There were many people and we picked up a less crowded beach. At first, we enjoyed ourselves by drinking and eating. When the moon turned brighter, we played with the seawater. As a result, we were all drenched with water. Bathing in the moonlight, we ran and laughed. We seemed to land on another world, where was full of fresh air, laughter and love. The laughter is still echoing on my mind so far.
Life doesn't stay the same, occasionally having a particular taste. That is sadness. What impressed me deeply is a failure in a singing competition. It was the first time I had given a performance on such a large stage in front of so many people. I was so nervous that the whole song was performed out of tune. As you could imagine, I was greeted with boos from the audience. I still remembered how dismal I felt that moment and I sat alone crying at the seaside. After that, I talked to mother about it. She told me that it was not a failure; at least, I was brave enough to show myself publicly.
Everything has passed. I’ve stored them at the bottom of my heart. I am in the second grade already. Yet much needs me to challenge. On the way, there's both happiness and distress. However, I will go ahead just all the same.
28．The underlined word ''drenched'' in the second paragraph has a similar meaning with _______.
A．dried B．wet
C．frozen D．washed away
29．Life, according to the author, is .
A．full of happiness B．filled with sadness
C．made up of laughter and tears D．not worth living
30．How did the audience feel the author's singing
A．It was wonderful B．It was disappointing
C．The passage doesn’t say D．It was perfect
31．Which of the following shows the author's attitude towards future
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．Do wrong once and you’ll never hear the end of it.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Time and tide wait for no man.
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could deny the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词)of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
32．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The theoretical basis of the study. B．The conclusion of the study.
C．The significance of the study. D．The methodology of the study.
33．Which child’s response matches the empirical stance
A．Taylor believes what the teacher, says no matter what.
B．Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
C．Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
D．Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
34．What lesson could adults learn from children
A．Learning from their own experience. B．Never trusting anyone.
C．Declining complex concepts. D．Counting on others’ testimony.
35．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
B．To clarify a misunderstanding about children’s learning ability.
C．To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.
D．To guide adults to help children avoid wrong ideas about the world.
Don’t Let Personality Types Define You
Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBTD, are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories. Although these tests can provide useful insights, it’s important not to let them define or limit you.
36 . But people are complex. Our personalities can change over time, depending on experiences and growth. What the MBTI test reveals is just a snapshot of one’s preferences, not a complete definition of who you are. For example, if the test labels you as an “introvert” (性格内向的人), you may feel tempted to avoid social communication because you think it’s not in your nature to be outgoing. But you might find that your ability to enjoy social events increases over time. The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact. 37
Similarly, if you are categorized as a “thinking” type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational 38 Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships.
Additionally, many people get caught up in the idea that their “type” limits their careers or personal choices. They might think, for instance, that an “introvert” would not be a good leader. 39 . Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making. Don’t let de MBTI label stop you from pursuing opportunities that feel right for you.
Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. 40 . By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives. We are all more than the labels we receive.
A．The reality is quite different.
B．The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation.
C．The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences.
D．But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles.
E．You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth.
F．However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable.
G．The MBTI system can sometimes prevent individuals from realizing their full potential.

How did Cape Town, South Africa, get into a Day Zero situation—when the city’s taps would go dry because its reservoirs (水库)would become dangerously low on water The city gets its water from six reservoirs in Western Cape province, which usually 41 during the rainy season, from May through August. But since 2015 the region has been suffering from the worst drought (干旱)in a century, and the water in those reservoirs 42 tremendously. Compounding the problem, Cape Town’s population has grown substantially, increasing 43 . The city actually did a pretty good job by reducing leaks in the system, a major cause of water waste, and has even won awards for its 44 policies.

51 , steps can be taken to avoid urban water crises. In general, a “portfolio approach” that relies on multiple water sources is probably most 52 . Cape Town has already begun implementing a number of water projects, including tapping groundwater and building water-recycling plants. Many other cities will need to repair existing water infrastructure (基础建设)to cut down on leakage. City leaders should be thinking about meeting long-term needs rather than just about 53 requirements. Good organization and financial accountability are equally critical. And planning efforts should include diverse stakeholders (利益相关者)from the community. One major challenge is providing services to informal areas, which develop without any government foresight. Such regions often 54 basic resources一a well-planned water supply among them. The global community has an opportunity right now to take action to prevent a series of Day Zero crises. If we don’t act, many cities may soon face a time when there isn’t a drop to 55 .

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I still remember the day when we decorated the house, I was ten and it was two weeks before Christmas. I was looking forward to my presents. Since I’m the youngest in the family, all of the family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good.
My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before Christmas and that year I knew what I wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn’t expecting.
It was two weeks before Christmas. Just two weeks. She couldn’t wait. My dear mother told my father that it was time, and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister now. But I didn’t want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life is never going to be the same ever again. I wasn’t ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before Christmas, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn’t ask me anything about the gift. She stole everything I’d ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried to sleep. I had a nightmare (噩梦) and woke up at the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents’ bedroom but couldn’t wake up my poor parents who were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed.
