It’s hard to predict which songs will become hits. It’s even more tough to predict which artists topping today’s charts will go on to record more hits.
Artists who demonstrate greater variety in their field stand a better chance to land repeat hits, says Justin Berg, a social scientist dedicated to researching creativity and innovation. Variety isn’t what helps artists land that first hit, Berg reports. It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits.
Berg used a database of about 3 million songs from 1959-2010 and then turned to a system that rates songs on 11 variables (变量), including danceability, energy and key. Berg then noted how closely related hit songs were to the hits from the previous calendar year. He also made portfolios (作品集) for most of the artists who had at least one hit song, so he studied the variety and novelty of the songs they had created at the time of their first hit.
Berg found that musical artists with what he termed low-creativity portfolios that were closely similar to other already existing music were roughly twice as likely to have early success. Conversely, those whose music was more innovative had a higher probability of achieving a string of hits.
Since the data end in 2010, the research might not accurately represent the current state of popular music, according to Noah Askin, a computational social scientist. “Musicians are altering their songwriting approaches to make them more appealing on TikTok,” says Askin. “So much of it now is: How memorable is a given song ”
Berg doesn’t want his research to play down the achievements of one-hit wonders. “A lot of them were extremely famous and successful during their era,” he states. “You go out and try to make a song that catchy. It’s a challenging endeavor.”
24．What helps a singer achieve lasting success according to Berg
A．Good taste in music. B．The variety of their works.
C．Personal connections in the industry. D．Their music’s similarity to recent hits.
25．What does Askin think of Berg’s research
A．It may be out of date. B．It might be the first of its kind.
C．It could inspire new TikTok hits. D．It would raise questions among musicians.
26．What is Berg’s attitude towards one-hit wonders
A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Carefree.
27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．The Mystery of One-Hit Wonders
B．How to Predict a Song’s Success
C．What Determines an Artist’s Chances of Repeated Hits
D．The Impact of Social Media on Popular Music
As warm blood spattered all over us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stop me being so scared that my heart was nearly beating out of my chest. My friend had persuaded me onto the Hotel Psycho ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling to experience any fear, but I decided to do it anyway. I came off the ride shaking but excited.
Apparently Eleanor Roosevelt didn’t actually say “do one thing that scares you every day”, as is often thought, but nevertheless it’s a great rule to follow. You don’t need to go on a fairground ride or jump out of a plane, but it is a good idea to push yourself out of your comfort zone regularly.
The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed to keep you safe. This sounds like a good thing, and obviously, sometimes it is. However, the fact that the amygdala is always on the lookout for danger means that it will prioritize protecting you over almost anything else: learning something new, experiencing something amazing, getting a great opportunity and meeting other people. The amygdala would really just like you to stay put in a nice safe dark cave.
The more you listen to its urgings to avoid all risks, the narrower and darker your life will become. There is plenty of evidence that the most effective way to deal with our fears and anxieties is exposing ourselves to what we fear. You can start off with small steps, but the more you confront (面对) your fears, the smaller they become: whereas the more you allow your fears to prevent you from doing things, the bigger those fears seem to be.
For this reason, it is important to stretch yourself and keep all those possibilities open. You need to take risks and do things that petrify you, so that you know just what you’re capable of. Sometimes those risks won’t work out, but that’s fine, as long as you can learn from the experience, and get ready for the next adventure.
28．How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A．By giving a definition. B．By telling a horrible story.
C．By quoting from a classic book. D．By describing his own experience.
29．What can be learned about the amygdala
A．It stops people from trying things out.
B．It functions well in a dark environment.
C．It introduces some risk-taking activities.
D．It highlights people’s demand for learning.
30．What does the author tell us about our fears in Paragraph 4
A．They could be hard to overcome.
B．They should be addressed effectively.
C．They would be necessary for survival.
D．They might be regular visitors to our life.
31．What does the underlined word “petrify” in the last paragraph mean
A．Inspire. B．Scare. C．Comfort. D．Anger.
When Nezha 2: The Legend Reborn hit screens in 2024, it did more than break box office records — it rewrote the rules for China’s animation industry. The film’s 3.5 billion yuan first-month earnings sent a clear signal: domestic stories can now go head-to-head with Hollywood giants. But the real story isn’t just about money — it’s about career paths being redrawn.
According to a 2025 report by the China Animation Association, the production of Nezha 2 generated over 15,000 jobs, including roles in character design, 3D modeling, and visual effects. Major studios like Light Chaser Animation (追光动画) have expanded their teams by 30% to fill positions that simply didn’t exist five years ago. “We’ve moved from hand-to-mouth survival to cutting-edge work,” said Li Xia, a veteran animation producer. However, 7 in 10 companies report trouble finding such hybrid workers.
To bridge the talent gap, universities and vocational schools are launching specialized programs. Over 50 colleges launched “future-proof programs” in 2024, teaching skills like VR storytelling and 3D character modeling. Meanwhile, vocational enrollments ballooned by 40%, with institutes like Shenzhen Animation College offering intensive courses that place about 90% of the graduates. “My generation doesn’t choose between tradition and tech — we remix them,” said Zhang Wei, a student blending Peking Opera elements with digital tools at Beijing Film Academy.
The government has also played a role. In 2023, the “National Animation Development Plan” allocated 500 million yuan to support innovation and talent development. Policies like tax cuts for animation companies and global talent exchange initiatives aim to build a sustainable industry. Experts predict that by 2030, China’s animation sector could employ 2 million people, making it a major driver of creative economy growth.
In conclusion, the success of Nezha 2 is not just a cinematic achievement — it represents a cultural shift and a career revolution for young professionals passionate about storytelling and technology. But there’s a problem: as more companies rush to copy the success of it, artists struggle to keep the core essence of their stories. “We need to scale the numbers up, but we can’t let them water down our cultural essence,” said an animator, who worked on the film.
32．What do 70% of companies say is difficult
A．Finding workers who can make enough money.
B．Finding workers who can survive when facing difficulties.
C．Finding workers who have trouble in finding jobs.
D．Finding workers who can both draw and use computers.
33．“Vocational enrollments ballooned by 40%” means the number of students __________.
A．dropped suddenly B．grew quickly C．stayed the same D．caused problems
34．What might happen if the “cultural essence” is watered down
A．More Chinese films will win Oscars. B．Animation jobs will disappear.
C．Traditional stories could lose their meaning. D．Technology companies will earn less.
35．The author wrote this article mainly to ________.
A．explain animation job trends B．advertise the movie Nezha 2
C．compare Chinese and Hollywood films D．criticize outdated teaching methods
The Future of 6G: Faster, Smarter, and Closer
6G, the next generation of mobile networks, is coming soon. Compared to 5G, 6G will bring revolutionary changes. 36 For example, 6G could be 100 times faster than 5G, allowing people to download a full movie in just one second.
One major advantage of 6G is its near-zero delay (only 0.1 milliseconds). 37 Imagine doctors performing surgeries on patients thousands of miles away using real-time holographic tools. This could save lives in emergencies.
China is leading the global race in 6G development. 38 The Chinese government is building test networks and supporting companies like Huawei and ZTE to create new technologies. By 2030, China plans to make 6G available for everyone.
However, challenges remain. 39 Building 6G infrastructure requires advanced equipment and international cooperation. Despite this, experts believe China’s large market and innovation will help overcome these problems.
40 From smart cities to self-driving cars, 6G will connect everything intelligently, making our lives safer and more efficient.
A．This means machines can communicate instantly without lag.
B．All in all, 6G might replace human workers.
C．It aims to achieve full commercialization within the next decade.
D．In short, 6G will create a world where everything is connected.
E．Its speed and reliability will transform many industries.
F．For instance, it can improve online gaming experiences.
G．High costs and energy consumption are big issues.

Liam and Joel were good friends. After school, they often played catch (传接球游戏) in the nearby park. It was a game they both loved playing.
One day, Joel missed school, and Liam had to sit alone in class. He thought his friend’s absence was odd because Joel never missed school. Feeling worried, Liam asked his head teacher if she knew why Joel didn’t come to school. What she said next was something he wasn’t prepared for.
“Liam, I’m so sorry, but your best friend was in an accident last night,” the teacher put her hand on Liam’s shoulder. “He lost his parents in the car crash.”
“Oh no!” Liam covered his face with his hands.“Where is he now ”
“Joel is in a nearby hospital, but the doctors aren’t allowing visitors at the moment,” the teacher said.
After returning home that day, Liam cried while telling his mother what had happened to Joel. “Don’t worry, Liam. Your friend will be fine,” she assured him.
Two months later, the doctors allowed Joel to go home after they performed a surgery. When Liam learned Joel would soon return home, he couldn’t wait to see his friend. Liam rushed to Joel’s house.
“Hi, Joel!” Liam exclaimed (惊叫) when he saw his best friend. Joel’s eyes lit up on seeing Liam after months, but he couldn’t get up and meet him. The boy was now confined to his wheelchair. Liam felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again. Moreover, seeing his elderly grandma struggle to push the wheelchair made Liam feel even worse.
“Mom, I want to buy an electric wheelchair for Joel, so he doesn’t have to ask his grandmother to move him around,” Liam said that night. “And I have a plan for that.” Liam’s mother looked at him and smiled. “Really What’s your plan ” she asked.

【答案】21．A 22．B 23．C
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了费城2026年世界杯足球赛海报征集的要求、流程和奖励。
【解析】21．细节理解题。根据WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW部分中“Original designs ready for digital reproduction(原始设计已准备好进行数字复制)”以及HOW IT WORKS部分中“Open Call for Artists: We’re inviting talented artists from across the state to submit portfolios (作品集). Submit a web address to your portfolio with up to 10 examples of your best work by April 4, 2025.(公开征集艺术家：我们诚邀全州才华横溢的艺术家提交作品集。请在2025年4月4日前提交作品集的网址，网址中应包含最多10件你最优秀的作品)”可知，第一阶段提交的作品必须是准备好可用于数字复制的原创设计，即必须是数字形式的，以便网上提交。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据HOW IT WORKS部分中“Chosen artists will be contacted directly by Philadelphia Soccer 2026 by April 11, 2025, and will receive the necessary logo, color files and design guidelines to complete their designs.(被选中的艺术家将于2025 年4月11日前直接收到费城2026足球（组织方）的联系，并将获得完成设计所需的标志、色彩文件和设计指南)”可知，被选中的艺术家将在2025年4月11日收到必要的文件。故选B。
23．细节理解题。根据HOW IT WORKS 部分的“Up to 10 artists will be chosen to bring their Philadelphia soccer vision to life. Each selected artist gets a $1,000 prize to support their creativity!(将选出多达10位艺术家，让他们关于费城足球的设想变为现实。每位入选的艺术家将获得1000美元奖金，以支持他们的创作！)”“Our expert judging team will pick the top 3 designs and inform artists by May 22, 2025. These artists will each score an extra $2,500!(我们的专家评审团将选出前三名的设计作品，并在 2025 年 5 月 22 日前通知相关艺术家。这些艺术家每人将额外获得 2500 美元！)”以及WHAT’S TO EARN部分的“The winning artist selected by FIFA will receive an additional $7,500.(被国际足联选中的获胜艺术家将额外获得 7500 美元)”可知，被选中的艺术家先获得1000美元，进入前三又会获得2500美元，最后被国际足联选中还会获得7500美元，所以被国际足联选中的获胜者总共会得到$1000 + 2500 + 7500 = 11000$ 美元。故选C。
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．C 27．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究人员发现，在音乐领域多样性可以帮助艺术家获得更多成功，而重复创作与当前热门歌曲相似的作品则更有可能获得早期成功。
【解析】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Artists who demonstrate greater variety in their field stand a better chance to land repeat hits, says Justin Berg, a social scientist dedicated to researching creativity and innovation.(致力于研究创造力和创新的社会科学家Justin Berg说，在自己的领域表现出更大多样性的艺术家更有可能获得重复的成功。)”可知，Berg认为在自己领域展示出更多样性的艺术家有更好的机会获得多次热门作品，即作品的多样性有助于歌手取得持久的成功，故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第五段“Since the data end in 2010, the research might not accurately represent the current state of popular music, according to Noah Askin, a computational social scientist.(计算社会科学家Noah Askin表示，由于数据截止到2010年，这项研究可能无法准确反映流行音乐的现状。)”可知，Askin认为由于数据截止到2010年，这项研究可能无法准确反映当前流行音乐的状况，也就是可能过时了，故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Berg doesn’t want his research to play down the achievements of one-hit wonders. “A lot of them were extremely famous and successful during their era,” he states.(Berg不希望他的研究淡化昙花一现的奇迹所取得的成就。“他们中的很多人在他们的时代都非常有名和成功，”他说。)”可知，Berg不想贬低一鸣惊人者的成就，他认为很多一鸣惊人者在他们那个时代非常有名且成功，所以他对一鸣惊人者持积极态度，故选C。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Artists who demonstrate greater variety in their field stand a better chance to land repeat hits, says Justin Berg, a social scientist dedicated to researching creativity and innovation. Variety isn’t what helps artists land that first hit, Berg reports. It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits.(致力于研究创造力和创新的社会科学家Justin Berg说，在自己的领域表现出更大多样性的艺术家更有可能获得重复的成功。Berg说，多样化并不是帮助艺术家获得第一个成功的因素。这是一首新歌与最近的热门歌曲的相似性。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究人员发现，在音乐领域，多样性可以帮助艺术家获得更多成功，而重复创作与当前热门歌曲相似的作品则更有可能获得早期成功，因此最好的题目是C选项“What Determines an Artist’s Chances of Repeated Hits(是什么决定了一个艺术家重复成功的机会)”。故选C。
【答案】28．D 29．A 30．B 31．B
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章认为人应该定期让自己走出舒适区，因为一味地待在安全舒适的地方会使生活变得狭隘。文章还指出通过直面恐惧我们才能逐渐克服恐惧，因此鼓励我们冒险去做让自己害怕的事情，即使冒险不成功，也能从经验中吸取教训。
【解析】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“As warm blood spattered all over us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stop me being so scared that my heart was nearly beating out of my chest. My friend had persuaded me onto the Hotel Psycho ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling to experience any fear, but I decided to do it anyway. I came off the ride shaking but excited. (温暖的血液溅了我们一身，我尖叫起来，其实那是水，但这并不能阻止我的恐惧，我的心几乎要跳出胸腔了。我的朋友说服我去普拉特游乐园玩“惊魂飞车”，我不愿意经历任何恐惧，但我还是决定去做。我下了车，浑身发抖，但很兴奋)”可知，作者是通过描述他自己玩“惊魂飞车”的经历，来引出如何对待恐惧这一话题的。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed to keep you safe. (人类的大脑，尤其是杏仁核，是用来保护你的安全的)”和“However, the fact that the amygdala is always on the lookout for danger means that it will prioritize protecting you over almost anything else: learning something new, experiencing something amazing, getting a great opportunity and meeting other people. (然而，杏仁核总是在寻找危险的事实意味着它会优先考虑保护你，而不是其他任何事情：学习新东西，体验神奇的东西，获得好机会和结识其他人)”可知，杏仁核会保护人的安全，阻止人们尝试可能存在危险的新事物。故选A项。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“There is plenty of evidence that the most effective way to deal with our fears and anxieties is exposing ourselves to what we fear. You can start off with small steps, but the more you confront (面对) your fears, the smaller they become: whereas the more you allow your fears to prevent you from doing things, the bigger those fears seem to be. (有大量证据表明，处理恐惧和焦虑的最有效方法是让自己暴露在恐惧之中。你可以从一小步开始，但是你越是直面你的恐惧，它们就会变得越小；然而，你越是让恐惧阻止你做事，这些恐惧就会变得越大)”可知，作者认为应当直面恐惧，从小处着手逐步克服恐惧。由此可知，作者想要告诉我们应该有效地消除恐惧。故选B项。
31．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“For this reason, it is important to stretch yourself and keep all those possibilities open. You need to take risks (出于这个原因，延展你自己，保持所有的可能性是很重要的。你需要冒险)”可知，作者建议我们去尝试可能性，去冒险，因此是去做让自己害怕的事情，画线词意思应该是“使感到惊恐，使感到害怕”，与Scare意思相近。故选B项。
【答案】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．A
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，文章借《哪吒2》的成功，阐述其对中国动画产业就业趋势的影响。
【解析】32．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, 7 in 10 companies report trouble finding such hybrid workers.(然而，十分之七的公司表示很难找到这样的混合型员工。)”并结合前文提到的工作岗位涉及角色设计、3D建模和视觉特效等多种技能，可推断hybrid workers指的是具备多种技能的员工，比如既能绘画又能使用计算机进行相关制作的人员，由此可知，70%的公司认为找到这样的员工很困难。故选D。
33．词句猜测题。balloon意思是像气球一样膨胀，在这里表示数量快速增长。“Vocational enrollments ballooned by 40%”表达的是职业学校入学人数快速增长了40%。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But there’s a problem: as more companies rush to copy the success of it, artists struggle to keep the core essence of their stories. “We need to scale the numbers up, but we can’t let them water down our cultural essence,” said an animator, who worked on the film.(但有一个问题：随着越来越多的公司争相复制它的成功，艺术家们很难保留他们故事的核心精髓。“我们需要扩大数字，但我们不能让它们冲淡我们的文化精髓，”一位参与这部电影的动画师说。)”可知，文中提到随着更多公司急于复制成功模式，艺术家们的故事核心精髓受到冲击，并强调不能冲淡文化精髓。由此可推测出，文化精髓被冲淡意味着传统故事可能会失去它们原本的意义。故选C。
35．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But the real story isn’t just about money — it’s about career paths being redrawn. (但真正的故事不仅仅是关于金钱，而是关于职业道路的重新规划。)”可知，文章围绕《哪吒2》的成功展开，讲述了其对职业道路的影响，重点在于阐述动画行业的就业趋势。故选A。

38．空前“China is leading the global race in 6G development.(中国在全球6G发展竞赛中处于领先地位。)”，空格处应该继续讲中国6G发展的相关情况，C选项“It aims to achieve full commercialization within the next decade.(它的目标是在未来十年内实现全面商业化。)”中的“It”指代中国的6G发展，选项中“within the next decade”与后文的“By 2030”相呼应，因此C选项符合语境，故选C。
39．空前“However, challenges remain.(然而，挑战依然存在。)”说明了挑战依然存在，空格处应该说和6G面临挑战有关的内容，G选项“High costs and energy consumption are big issues.(高成本和能源消耗是大问题。)”说明了6G存在的挑战，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。
