As one virtual choir member said为非限制性定语从句，as指代整个主句的内容。
关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句，从句可放在主句前、主句中或主句后，常用逗号与主句隔开。as意为“正如”，其后的谓语动词多是see, know, expect, say, show等。常见表达：
as you can see 正如你所看见的
as we have expected 正如我们所预料的那样
as is mentioned above 正如上面所提到的
as is well known/as we all know 众所周知
as is often the case 情况常常如此
as is reported 正如所报道的那样
as has been said before 正如前面所述
as the old saying goes 正如谚语所说
注意：as和which引导定语从句的区别
as有“正如，如同”的意义，从句位置可在主句前、主句中或主句后。which常常译成“这一点，这件事”等，引导的从句通常放于主句后。
“两层级”学通用活句式
(1)通过“句式变换”弄明句式结构
①The trip is no piece of cake and you can imagine it.
→______________________, the trip is no piece of cake.
②He was late for class, and this is often the case.
→He was late for class,__________________.
As you can imagine
as is often the case
(2)通过“句式仿写”做到熟练运用
③正如谚语所说，“有志者，事竟成。”
______________________, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
As the old saying goes
④正如报告所显示的，在过去的两个月里，这个城市的空气质量已有所改善。
The air quality in the city,________________________, has improved over the past two months.
⑤正如上面所提到的，学生的数量正在增加。
_____________________, the number of the students is increasing.

感知将学语法——过去分词(短语)作状语

①Asked why he was late (＝When he was asked why he was late), he kept silent.(表示时间)
被问到他为什么迟到时，他保持沉默。
②Given another hour (＝If I am given another hour), I can work out this problem.(表示条件)

THE VIRTUAL CHOIR
Can you imagine singing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone 1 Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere — all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need a studio.
A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. 2 A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community.
The virtual choir was the idea of award-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. 3 Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” He graduated from university in 1995, and then received a master's degree in musical composition from the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre's original compositions began to become quite popular among choirs and singers. 4
In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. 5 Then he joined together into one performance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”， had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet.
A．You can do this in a virtual choir.
B．Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos.
C．This led to the creation of the virtual choir.
D．It has proved to be a positive influence on people.
E．Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir.
F．They can record themselves while they perform alone on video.
G．He fell in love with Mozart's classical music when he sang for the university choir.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children's intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today's children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children's health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children's moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.

B
Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能)．And it is able to analyze the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music.Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.
Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy's Car. This system is able to analyze the composers' original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing.The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.
Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily.In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy)．After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download.Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.
Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own.For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs.Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.
The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns.Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine.Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music.
Faced with this challenge, on the one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers.Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children's intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today's children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children's health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children's moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
1．By mentioning scientific studies in paragraph 1, the author wants to show ________.
A．why adults should listen to music
B．children should listen to music
C．listening to music is only good for adults
D．why scientists are interested in music
2．What does the underlined word “impairs” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Harms. B．Changes.
C．Improves. D．Shows.
3．The last but one paragraph shows that listening to music means ________.
A．learning languages better
B．understanding foreign cultures better
C．accepting the fast developing world easily
D．showing greater interest in other cultures
4．What would be the best title for the text
A．Why do Children Love Music
B．How to Choose Music for Children
C．How to Teach Children Music Easily
D．Why is Music Important to Children
B
Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能)．And it is able to analyze the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music.Such AI created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.
Recently, an AI powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy's Car. This system is able to analyze the composers' original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing.The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.
Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily.In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy)．After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download.Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.
Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own.For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs.Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.
The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns.Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine.Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human composed music.
Faced with this challenge, on the one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers.Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.
5．What is the new development about AI in the text
A．Its progress in replacing humans.
B．Its ability in music composing.
C．Its influence on human emotions.
D．Its focus on changing human mind.
6．Why could Yacht create the popular new album
A．They stuck to their former music style.
B．They went beyond themselves with AI.
C．They put in more than ten original songs.
D．They insisted on composing by themselves.
7．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Problems about AI composing.
B．Limitations of AI technology.
C．Challenges for human composers.
D．Suggestions to human musicians.
8．Which word best describes the author's attitude toward AI technology
A．Objective. B．Doubtful.
C．Uncaring. D．Confused.
