Over 400 young ballet dancers from the Northeast recently gathered in Gloucester, Massachusetts, to compete at the Youth America Grand Prix tryouts. Often compared to the American Idol of ballet, this four-day event is a major talent-spotting ground for future stars. Many participants are discovered here and go on to join world-famous companies like the American Ballet Theatre and the Paris Opera Ballet.
The competition featured dancers aged 9 to 19, dressed in colorful clothes with their hair neatly tied. They waited backstage before being called by their number to perform brief solo dances under bright lights. Among them was 15-year-old Karli Wilkinson from Massachusetts, who shared, “I love performing for people and becoming a character when I dance.” She performed to music from Dune in desert-themed performance clothes, adding that she felt excited rather than nervous on stage.
Ana Canelos, a parent from North Falmouth, expressed admiration for the dancers’ devotion: “Dance is often thought of as a light sport, but these kids work so hard each and every day, putting in 20 to 30 hours a week.” She described the event as a “fantastic” opportunity for young performers to showcase their talent.
According to organizers, around 1,200 dancers will be selected from tryouts across the U.S. and around the world to advance to the finals in Tampa, Florida. There, thousands of scholarships will be awarded for short-term, summer, or year-round training at top dance schools globally. Rachel Nye of the Oklahoma City Ballet noted that the event offers “an incredible opportunity for these dancers to be seen by directors of schools and companies.”
Now in its 25th year, the Youth America Grand Prix has awarded over $5 million in scholarships, with about $450,000 distributed annually, helping young dancers pursue their dreams in ballet. The event not only recognizes technical skills but also encourages artistic expression, self-control, and determination among the next generation of performers.

It is commonly believed that we understand our dogs’ emotions, often interpreting (解读) a waving tail as happiness or whimpering (呜咽) as sadness. However, groundbreaking research from Arizona State University shows that dog owners frequently misinterpret their pets’ feelings by projecting human emotions onto them rather than accurately reading their behavioral signals.
Dogs communicate primarily through body language, facial expressions, and sounds rather than words. According to researchers Holly Molinaro and Clive Wynne, humans tend to judge a dog’s emotional state based on situational context rather than the animal’s actual behavior. To test this idea, they conducted innovative experiments in which participants were shown videos, of dogs in various situations—both positive (such as receiving treats) and negative (such as being told off). In some videos, the background was digitally changed to go against the dog’s behavior. The striking results demonstrated that participants relied more on context rather than the dog’s actual actions when judging its emotions.
One of the most common misinterpretations involves the “guilty look”. What owners typically interpret as guilt is actually a fear or submission (服从) response to the owner’s tone or body language, not an understanding of wrongdoing. This fundamental error arises from anthropomorphism—the human tendency to put our own emotions onto animals. Molinaro emphasizes that this misinterpretation can significantly impact training effectiveness and the overall human-dog relationship.
To interpret dogs’ emotions more accurately, owners should focus on individual behavioral signs rather than situational context or human-based assumptions. Researchers recommend developing awareness of our limitations and learning to observe each dog’s unique signals more carefully. Taking extra time to properly read a dog’s body. language—rather than making quick judgments based on the situation—can greatly improve communication and strengthen the human-dog connection.
Ultimately, recognizing our built-in blind spots and devoting time to understanding dogs’ real emotional expressions through patient observation are key steps for building deeper, more meaningful, and more trusting relationships with our four-legged friends.
8. What did Molinaro and Wynne do in their experiment
A. They studied various animals in given conditions.
B. They showed participants videos of dogs.
C. They trained dogs to react to positive situations.
D. They recorded dogs’ sounds in different contexts.
9. Which example from the text illustrates the concept of anthropomorphism
A. Owners tracking dogs’ everyday behaviors.
B. Dogs communicating through body language.
C. The “guilty look” being misinterpreted as guilt.
D. Owners improving training effectiveness for dogs.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Offer some advice for dog owners. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Dogs’ Emotions Are Often Misunderstood.
B. The Effectiveness of Dog Training Methods.
C. Human-Dog Communication Relies on Treats.
D. Innovative Experiments in Dog Behavior Research.
D
The rise of AI (artificial intelligence) music creators has brought fresh attention to the future of the music industry. Unlike traditional musicians who depend on instruments, creators such as Oliver McCann use AI chatbots to produce music. Despite lacking musical talent or background, he creates songs in various styles. After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams (播放量), McCann signed with a record label, becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract (合同).
Tools like Suno and Udio are driving a new wave of AI-made music, with fully AI-produced group velvet Sundown, new popular online-serving as a striking example. This change not only makes music creation easier for everyone but also raises worries about mass-produced low-quality content and the risk of shaking up the industry.
Generative AI is set to reshape music, yet its impact on the $29.6 billion global recorded music market remains unclear. Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18% of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.
The technology has also divided the music community. Many artists and labels fear copyright infringement (侵权) and the devaluation of human creativity, with major companies like Sony, Universal and Warner bringing legal claims against Suno and Udio, and over 1,000 musicians protesting proposed AI-related law changes in the UK. However, other figures, like will.i.am and Timbaland, have welcomed AI.
Some users draw comparisons between this criticism and past doubts about synthesizers(electronic instruments). Scott Smith, who leads AI band Pulse Empire, views AI as just another tool, and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI outputs-sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song. While AI can write songs, users often find them unoriginal and prefer creating their own.
Experts believe AI could enable anyone to produce a hit, significantly lowering barriers to music production. However, legal uncertainties surrounding copyright have created a “Wild West” atmosphere, and as AI gains broader acceptance, it may soon compete on music charts, unlocking new creative possibilities for people worldwide.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning Oliver McCann in paragraph 1
A AI music creators can achieve success. B. He has musical talent and background.
C. Traditional musicians are losing their jobs. D. AI chatbots can’t make various music styles.
13. What can we infer about AI music from paragraph 3
A. It takes a large share of total streams. B. It pushes global music market growth.
C. It is not widely accepted by audiences. D. Its copyright problems have been solved.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 4
A. AI music has already topped global charts. B. Doubts about synthesizers were reasonable.
C. The UK has passed laws limiting AI music. D. Not all in the music field are against AI music.
15 Which statement would Scott Smith agree with
A. AI could produce perfect music. B. AI only plays a supportive role.
C. New tools hurt musical creativity. D. Electronic instruments are outdated.

47. 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。
Since Lena entered high school, the diary had become her only trusted friend. She told it everything that had happened at home or in school: the hurtful moments with her mother, the occasional unfair treatments received from her teachers and the bittersweet relationships with her classmates.
One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home, heartbroken, and went to look for her diary under the pillow. When she found it missing from its usual spot, panic set in.
“Did Mom take it ” she thought.
She stormed into her mother’s bedroom and found her reading the diary. Even worse, she saw a half-finished love poem on the bedside table. It was a present Lena prepared for her classmate!
“What are you doing on earth ” Lena yelled. “This is my privacy!”
“Calm down, sweetheart!” Mom said, trying to draw her close. “The roof leaked this afternoon. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your diary under the wet pillow. I couldn’t help reading it while I was drying it.”
“Give it back to me, now!” Lena demanded. “I hate you! I’ll never forgive you!”
Mom returned the diary and apologized, “I just want to check and keep you safe!”
“Keep me safe ” Lena cut in. “You just want to control me!”
Lena grabbed the diary and ran back to her own room. Sitting in the darkness, Lena felt her heart sinking. She was very upset that her deepest secrets—especially her complaints about Mom—had been exposed.
However, when she opened the diary, she found something strange. On the page where she wrote “I hate you!”, she found a familiar handwriting: “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. —Mom” Curiously, Lena read through the diary and saw that every negative entry was accompanied by a note: encouragement after exam failures, comfort during moments of loneliness and apologies for misunderstandings.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As she read on, Lena felt her chest filled with something warm.
