●ⅠA
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲由于人工智能的发展,动物演员即将退出舞台。
1.A 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“After six successful years in the movies he lives in an open-plan home with mountain views, a large swimming pool and staff who bring him steak or juice when required. A driver is on hand to take him into the city when he gets a call to shoot an ad or make a paid appearance at an event, for which he commands a fee equal to a week’s pay for a lowlier actor. Luke turns heads like few other artists.”可推知, Luke过着轻松舒适的生活。故选A项。
2.C 词义猜测题。由文章第二段“Writers and actors in America have been on strike for half of 2023. One of the reasons for their bust-up with the studios was the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in film and television production. Writers worry that AI will soon create massive scripts, while actors fear that, as the technology improves the quality of computer-generated imagery (CGI), they may be replaced by digital stand-ins(替身).”可知,作家和演员们担心人工智能代替他们,与制片公司“决裂”。所以猜测 bust-up表示“决裂”的意思。故选C项。
3.D 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Well, at present, for most human actors, that is still an assumed worry.”可知,人工智能对人类演员来说是想象中的恐惧。故选D项。
4.B 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“As demand for animal actors declines, their owners and trainers are leaving the business. Luke and his colleague, Maasai, who lies dozing in a nearby place, are the last two working lions in Hollywood.”以及上文可推知,动物演员即将退出舞台。故选B项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了尽管有音乐流媒体服务,人们还参加现场演出,因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。文章介绍了与之有关的研究和研究发现。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段“People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.”可知,尽管有音乐流媒体服务,人们还参加现场演出,这是因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。故选D。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the ‘live’ experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.”可知,钢琴家在“现场”实验中扮演的角色是为MRI扫描仪内的参与者提供现场伴奏。故选C。
7.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,关于现场音乐对大脑的影响,发表在PNAS上的研究发现大脑对现场音乐的声学特征反应更强烈。故选B。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.”可知,作者在最后一段提到ABBA Voyage是为了表明它缺乏艺术家基于观众反馈的回应。故选D。

3.D 根据上文“When they leave the movie theatre, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie.”可知,设空处应该说明的是电影观众离开电影院时的表现。选项D (相反,他们只在意自己的观影感受)承接上文。故选D。
4.A 根据上文“They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago.”以及下文“…they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies.”可知,设空处应该说明的是不管他们有着什么目的,他们只是喜欢电影。选项A (不管他们有什么动机)承上启下。故选A。

Wandering around his spacious plantation in the hills outside Los Angeles, Luke has the swagger (神气十足) of an actor who has made it in Hollywood. After six successful years in the movies he lives in an open-plan home with mountain views, a large swimming pool and staff who bring him steak or juice when required. A driver is on hand to take him into the city when he gets a call to shoot an ad or make a paid appearance at an event, for which he commands a fee equal to a week’s pay for a lowlier actor. Luke turns heads like few other artists. His agent’s only complaint is that, given half a chance, he might try to eat his co-stars.
As a 500 lb African lion, Luke has to deal with challenges not experienced by other actors. But lately, he and his human colleagues have found a common cause. Writers and actors in America have been on strike for half of 2023. One of the reasons for their bust-up with the studios was the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in film and television production. Writers worry that AI will soon create massive scripts, while actors fear that, as the technology improves the quality of computer-generated imagery (CGI), they may be replaced by digital stand-ins (替身).
Well, at present, for most human actors, that is still an assumed worry. But for four-legged screen stars it is already a reality. Work for animal actors is drying up as computer graphics offer an easier and, some argue, more humane way to portray creatures on screen. As AI makes those special effects still more realistic and easier to produce, the replacement of real animals with digital ones is accelerating, in television and advertising as well as in high-end movies.
As demand for animal actors declines, their owners and trainers are leaving the business. Luke and his colleague, Maasai, who lies dozing in a nearby place, are the last two working lions in Hollywood.
( )1.Which can describe Luke’s life shown in Paragraph 1
A.Easy and comfortable.
B.Luxurious and fashionable.
C.Risky and dangerous.
D.Busy and efficient.
( )2.What does the underlined part “bust-up” (in Para.2) probably mean
A.Lack of confidence.
B.Sympathy.
C.Break-up.
D.Harmonious relationship.
( )3.What does AI mean to human actors
A.A great tool.
B.An urgent threat.
C.A promising career.
D.An imaginary fear.
( )4.What can be concluded from the passage
A.AI has limited influence on animal actors.
B.Animal actors are to withdraw from the stage.
C.Digital animals cost more than animal actors.
D.The decline of animal actors harms the business.

In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls tohear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.
Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic—artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
( )5.Why do people attend live shows despite music streaming services
A.Because they prefer being with friends at a concert.
B.Because they enjoy the process of finding popular music.
C.Because they intend to meet their favourite musicians in person.
D.Because they value the emotional connection live music brings.
( )6.What is the role of the pianist in the “live” experiment
A.To observe the participants’ brain activity as feedback.
B.To compare the effectiveness of live performances and recorded ones.
C.To provide live accompaniment to participants inside the MRI scanner.
D.To demonstrate their ability to read and respond to the audience’s mood.
( )7.What did the study published in PNAS find about the impact of live music on the brain
A.Live music affected only the amygdala of the brain.
B.The brain responded more intensely to acoustic features of live music.
C.Live music had a reduced emotional impact compared to recorded music.
D.The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive to dynamic music.
( )8.What does the author suggest by mentioning ABBA Voyage in the last paragraph
A.It fails to create a perfect performing atmosphere.
B.It matches the sound quality of live performances.
C.It greatly stirs up the audience’s emotional response.
D.It lacks artists’ response based on audience’s feedback.

Is a moviegoer different than a movie lover I’d say so. You can love a movie by watching it at home. 1. . I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people about movies. By listening to what they say, I can report they only share one thing in common: they go out.
I’ve thought about two views of the moviegoer lately.
The first view comes from Roland Barthes. Most often, his moviegoers don’t go to the movies for a distinct purpose. 2. . They are bored. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink into a relaxed state. When they leave the movie theatre, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie. 3. . Barthes sees them as lonely beings, ones who are introspective (自省的). I think some of us use movie theatres to retreat inside ourselves.
The second view comes from the Clark Theatre manager, Bruce Trinz. When people go to the movies, they go for a certain personal motive. They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago. 4. , they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless. 5. , but they come to the movies filled with hope. They may not be able to define what they hope to experience, but they will know it when they feel it.
A.Whatever motive they have
B.To be a moviegoer, you have to go out
C.The movie also puts them somewhere else
D.They are instead wrapped up in themselves
E.Because moviegoers go in search of beauty
F.Moviegoers may be hopelessly addicted to the movies
G.It’s something to do with a response to leisure, free time

city when he gets a call to shoot an ad or make a paid
appearance at an event, for which he commands a fee equal to
a week's pay for a lowlier actor. Luke turns heads like few other
artists. His agent's only complaint is that, given half a chance,
he might try to eat his co-stars.
As a 500 lb African lion, Luke has to deal with challenges
not experienced by other actors. But lately, he and his human
colleagues have found a common cause.

Writers and actors in America have been on strike for half of
2023. One of the reasons for their bust-up with the studios was
the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in film and television
production. Writers worry that AI will soon create massive scripts,
while actors fear that, as the technology improves the quality of
computer-generated imagery (CGI), they may be replaced by
digital stand-ins (替身).
Well, at present, for most human actors, that is still an
assumed worry. But for four-legged screen stars it is already a

reality. Work for animal actors is drying up as computer
graphics offer an easier and, some argue, more humane way to
portray creatures on screen. As AI makes those special effects
still more realistic and easier to produce, the replacement of
real animals with digital ones is accelerating, in television and
advertising as well as in high-end movies.
As demand for animal actors declines, their owners and
trainers are leaving the business. Luke and his colleague, Maasai,
who lies dozing in a nearby place, are the last two working
lions in Hollywood.

In a world of music streaming services, access to almost
any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance
lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and
gilded concert halls tohear their favourite musicians play. And
now neuroscientists might know why live music engages the
brain's emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.

Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in
which people listen to and feel the music together through
crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are
dynamic—artists can adapt their playing according to the
crowd's reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at
the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses
of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment,
participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music

through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the
room. The pianist was shown the participant's real-time brain
activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition,
participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the
areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions,
particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The
results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live
music had a significantly greater emotional impact.

Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live
performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala
but also other parts of the brain's emotion processing network.
The researchers also found that participants' brain activity
tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo
and pitch, far more closely when it was played live.
While the study didn't fully recreate the live concert
experience, the findings suggest that artists' ability to adjust
their performance in real time contributes to the emotional

resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt
to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive
pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists' capacity to read
audience's mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite
match the real thing.
