then received a master’s degree in musical composition from the

Whitacre’s original compositions began to become quite popular
among choirs and singers.This led to the creation of the virtual choir.

虚拟合唱团
　　想象一下，独自在家时，你可以和几百个人一道引吭高歌。虚拟
合唱团能够让你的想象成为现实。虚拟合唱团的成员们把各自的歌唱
视频录制下来，上传到互联网上，然后这些视频被合并成一个你可以
在线观看的视频——虚拟大合唱。任何人，无论身在何地，都可以参
加虚拟合唱团——你只需要一部摄像机，并且能够上网，你连工作室
都不需要。虚拟合唱团将普通人联系起来。许多人没有亲密的朋友，
也没有志趣相投的私交，还有很多人没有机会参加本地的合唱团。虚
拟合唱团让他们能够与其他人一起欢歌，成为全球社区的一部分。
事实证明，虚拟合唱团对许多人的生活产生了积极的影响。正如一位
虚拟合唱团成员所说：“音乐帮助我……忘记自己的问题。音乐，让
我脱胎换骨。”
　　虚拟合唱团是获奖作曲家兼指挥埃里克·惠塔克的创意。惠塔克
于1970年1月2日生于美国，1988年进入内华达大学学习音乐。在大学
合唱团期间，他痴迷于莫扎特的古典音乐。他被这段音乐打动了，他
说：“那种（兴奋的）感觉就如同是第一次看见色彩一样。”他1995
年大学毕业，随后于1997年获纽约茱莉亚音乐学院音乐创作硕士学
位。在接下来的十年间，惠塔克的原创作品深受合唱团和歌手的欢
迎，这促使他创建了虚拟合唱团。
　　2009年，惠塔克收到了一个女孩的视频，视频是女孩演唱他创作
的一部作品。受此启发，惠塔克邀请粉丝们录制视频，然后他将这些
视频拼接成一场演出。他创办的首个虚拟合唱团“金色之光”，拥有
来自12个不同国家的185名歌手。该合唱团在互联网上的点击量已超
过百万次。自此，虚拟合唱团风靡全球。惠塔克的第二个壮举是打造
联合国儿童基金会“虚拟青年合唱团”，该团于2014年7月23日在英
国首次登台演出。总共有来自80个国家的2，292名青年参与演唱惠塔
克的歌曲《假如》。
　　虚拟合唱团提供了一种美妙的方式，让世界各地的人们能够同声
歌唱，世界因此变得更加美好。

　　（2025·湖北高一期末联考）As an important part of our everyday
lives， music is increasingly being used in medical treatment.Besides
proving very useful in cancer treatment， managing long-term pain and
even helping the brain recover after a stroke， researchers have been
making great progress in using music to help patients with dementia （失
智症）.It reduces patients’ anxiety or stress， lifts their spirits， and
improves their performance at work.
　　So why does music appear to have such a powerful effect on people
with dementia？ About ten years ago， researchers discovered that when
people listened to music， many areas of the brain took part in processing
it.Research has also shown music might help the brain and its connections
grow strong again.It is believed that music could help people with
dementia by fixing or strengthening damaged neural （神经的）
connections and cells.
　　It’s not just any music that has a great effect on the brain，
though.Familiar and favourite music has been shown to have the biggest
influence on the way we feel， and is closely connected with memory and
emotions.This is because listening to our favourite songs helps to produce
feel-good hormones （荷尔蒙） that give us a sense of pleasure.During
and after listening to favourite music， people with dementia experienced
less pain and anxiety， and their general feelings improved.
　　Other researchers have even begun testing the effects of music
training programs to support cognition （认知） for people with
dementia.Results have been promising so far， with adults in the study
showing improved conditions， compared to those who took part in just
physical exercise.
　　So， music is likely to continue to be a useful medical treatment for
people with dementia.But based on what we know so far， it’s important
that it comes from the patient’s own music collection and is used together
with other medical treatments such as taking medicine.

　　（2025·周口高一期末）Being a singer in her school music group as
a teenager， Bogan used to love singing along with songs by her favorite
musicians.Unfortunately， the doctors found there was a tumor （肿瘤）
in her head.
　　Bogan was told that an operation could be a method， but it could
have some side effects.Last August， doctors gave her an operation to
remove the tumor.The operation was a success.But after the doctors
removed the equipment， a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble
speaking.Since then， Bogan has been working with experts to change the
situation， but there is no sign that she will ever be able to speak like she
used to.
　　Last month， Bogan got her voice back in a way.Experts created a
tool — Voice Engine — for her， using AI. She uses a text-to-voice app
on her phone so she can now do things like ordering her favorite coffee at
Starbucks.She uses it by writing words in her phone and holding it up at
the coffee shop so servers can hear her.
　　The app uses OpenAI’s voice tool.Programmers trained the app
using a 15-second sound recording from a cooking video Bogan made as a
teenager.Most of the video had cooking sounds， but that was all they
could use.And it was enough.
　　The app makes mistakes， but people who know Bogan do not seem
worried.They are just happy to hear her voice.As for Bogan herself， she
said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened，
which meant a lot to her.She uses the app about 40 times per day， and
she believes the technology will progress over time so that when she is
older， she does not have to depend on the voice she had as a teenager.
　　Jeff Harris is OpenAI’s project leader for Voice Engine.He said
although the company is very limited in who they are giving the
technology to， because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is
being used has given permission （许可）， this is only a short-term
measure.In the near future， it will see more and more users.

8. What caused Bogan the trouble in speaking？（　　）
A. Overusing her voice.
B. Failure to remove the tumor.
C. The doctors’ carelessness.
D. Side effects of an operation.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第二段中的But after the doctors removed
the equipment， a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking.可
知，手术的副作用导致Bogan失声。
√
9. How did Bogan partly get her voice back？（　　）
A. By receiving another operation.
B. By using a special AI tool.
C. By working with experts.
D. By keeping practicing speaking continuously.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第三段前两句可知，专家们利用人工智
能为她制作了一个工具使Bogan在某种程度上恢复了她的声音。
√
10. What is the most important about the app to Bogan？（　　）
A. It makes few mistakes.
B. It improves her confidence.
C. It exactly copies her voice.
D. It can be used unlimited times per day.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第五段中的As for Bogan herself ...as she
was before all this happened可知，Bogan认为这款软件让她的信心恢复
到了这一切发生之前的水平。

11. What is Jeff Harris’s attitude towards the future of Voice Engine？

　　（2025·湖北部分省级示范高中高一期末）Have you ever imagined
travelling to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache
of communicating in a different language？
　　In a recent Wall Street Journal article， technology policy expert Alec
Ross argued that， within ten years or so， we would be able to
communicate with one another through small earpieces with built-in
microphones.That’s because technological progress is extremely
fast.It’s only a matter of time.Just as a “clever personal helper” like
Siri or Alexa is getting better at understanding what you say， there is no
reason to think that the future will not bring a “personal assistant
translator”.
　　Nevertheless， translating is an altogether different task compared
with finding the nearest Starbucks， because machines aim for perfection
and reasonability， while languages — humans — are always imperfect
and unreasonable.Replacing a word with its equivalent （对等词） in the
target language is actually the easy part of a translator’s job.But this
seems to be a tricky job for computers.
　　It’s so hard for computers because translation doesn’t — or
shouldn’t — be simply translating words， sentences or
paragraphs.Rather， it’s about translating meaning.And in order to infer
meaning from a specific expression， people need to understand a lot of
information all at once.Think about all the related information that can
help us understand what someone is trying to say： tone， body
movements， situations， and even your culture.All are likely to express
as much meaning as the words you use.
　　Therefore， we should doubt whether a machine can truly understand
our world like we do.If people from different cultures can upset each other
without realizing it， how can we expect a machine to do better？ Unless
engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer， when it
comes to expressing and translating meaning using a natural language， a
machine will never fully take our place.

12. According to Alec Ross， how will people communicate in the
future？（　　）
A. By using personal computers for translation widely.
B. By employing small earpieces with built-in microphones.
C. By turning to machines instead of human translators completely.
D. By hiring a clever personal helper like Siri or Alec Ross.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，亚历克·罗斯认为，
未来人们将使用内置麦克风的小耳机彼此交流。
√
13. Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent？
（　　）
A. Because it covers much more than just words.
B. Because it can’t infer the cultural meaning.
C. Because a man’s soul hasn’t been breathed in them.
D. Because it is different from finding the nearest Starbucks.
解析： 　推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推知，计算机很难用一个
词来替代它的同义词是因为它包含的内容远不止文字。
√
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the machine technology？
（　　）
A. Unclear. B. Objective.
C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
解析： 观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可推知，作者对机器技术
的态度是消极的。

15. Which of the following is the best title for the text？（　　）
A. The Difficulty of Translation
B. Travel without Headache
C. Will the Language Barrier （障碍） Disappear？
D. Who will be a Better Translator？
√
解析： 　标题归纳题。文章第一段和第二段提出问题：科技发展迅
速，人们似乎不必担心不同语言的交流障碍。但是机器真的能取代人
类翻译吗？文章三、四段给出答案及原因，最后一段总结：在翻译过
程中，由于翻译不仅仅是翻译单词、句子和段落，确切地说，它是传
达意义，涉及很多方面的内容，不能期望机器比人类做得更好。所以
文章的主旨是机器翻译不会取代人类翻译，语言障碍不会消失。因此
C项为文章最佳标题。

　　（2025·泉州高一检测）Fifty years ago， the well-loved musician
Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed
（发嘘声）.The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan’s
performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United
States.
　　The mid-1960s was a time of great change.One such place of change
was the world of folk music.Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when
he moved from acoustic （原声的） to electric guitar.
　　Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the
change.It is called “Dylan Goes Electric”.
　　“There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the
Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records.And
Joan Baez， Peter Paul and Mary， the Kingston Trio， all had huge，
huge， huge number-one records.”
　　And then this happened： The “British Invasion” introduced the
world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music.“That
worried many folk musicians，” says Elijah Wald.
　　They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue.However， a
new Dylan sound came from the stage.
　　Bob Dylan had gone electric， and the followers of folk music were
not pleased.
　　“When Dylan went electric， I think one of the issues was the
feeling that — wait a minute， he’s gone over to the enemy.”
　　Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from
rock and roll.But， author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the
music.
　　“Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn’t think of
rock and roll as stupid music.” In fact， Dylan was a Beatles fan.He
later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he knew “they were
pointing to the direction where music had to go”.
　　Beyond the music， Dylan’s performance that night also marked a
turn in American culture.

　　（2025·潍坊高一期末）What’s the worst kind of sleep for your
health： the kind where you keep a right bedtime but wake up every few
hours， or the kind where you go to bed late and only get a few hours of
shut-eye？ Scientists might finally have an answer.
　　Patrick Finan and his team carried out a study comparing the two
types of sleep in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good
sleepers.The participants （参与者） spent three days and nights in a
sleep lab and answered questions about their mood （情绪） every
evening before sleeping.While they slept， the researchers measured their
sleep stages so they could document when and how much of each stage of
sleep， from light to deeper sleep， each volunteer got every night.A
third of the group were arranged to be woken up several times a night，
another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren’t
woken up， and the final group， which acted as the control group， was
allowed to sleep without being interrupted （打断） through the night.
　　When Finan compared the three groups’ mood ratings， he found
that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood
after the first night.But on the next nights， the interrupted sleepers
continued to report diminishing positive feelings while the short sleepers
did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the
first night.
　　When he studied the brain of interrupted sleepers and short sleepers，
he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less deep sleep that is
usually connected with feeling relaxed， than those getting the same sleep
but in a continuous time.
　　The finding suggests how everything from stress to anxiety can affect
both sleep and mood.You can’t avoid the stresses in your daily life， but
you just might be able to lessen the blow with sleep — as long as it’s
uninterrupted.

What Are Teenager Problems with Parents？
　　Teenhood is a period of life in which there are so many physical，
emotional， and intellectual changes.9.（　　） They may have a
constant conflict with their parents because they want to declare their
independence and be in control of their lives.Some common problems
teenagers have with their parents are as follows.
　　Too much control over their teens. Teens wish to become a master
of their own lives as much as possible.Micromanaging their lives can
make them more rebellious （叛逆的）.10.（　　） There should be a
balance between both， and teenagers should understand their limits.
　　Lack of communication. Lack （缺少） of communication is the
most significant issue during this period.11.（　　） They occasionally
infringe on （侵犯） their children’s privacy.Teenagers will get upset
by such offensive behavior and tend to be more rebellious.
　　Giving unnecessary advice. Often， teenagers do not appreciate
unnecessary advice from their parents.Every time parents offer advice to
the teenager， they pass on the message that their children are unskilled in
solving their own problems.12.（　　）
　　Challenging their parents’ beliefs. Teenagers like to question their
parents.13.（　　） Often， parents fail to reason their teenagers about
their beliefs.It seems that teenagers don’t recognise the so-called beliefs
which are said to be based on their parents’ life experiences.Teenagers
regularly argue with their parents in this context.
A. Teens never like to be controlled.
B. However， it can create a worse cycle.
C. This， in turn， can discourage teenagers.
D. Teenagers might be dealing with a variety of issues at this age.
