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.閱讀理解

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 (撫慰的) 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.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
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 (撫慰的) 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．a(chǎn)ccepting 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.

[語篇綜合訓練]
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
[A]
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了兒童接觸音樂對他們很有好處，父母應(yīng)該讓兒童多接觸音樂。
1．選A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it.”可知，下文作者用科學研究是為了表明聽音樂對成年人有益處，也就是為什么成年人應(yīng)該聽音樂。
2．選A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文“Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.”并結(jié)合常識可推知，畫線詞所在的句子是指“太多壓力會‘傷害’孩子的健康”。
3．選B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.”可知，聽音樂可以幫助更好地理解外國文化。
4．選D　標題歸納題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹了為什么音樂對兒童很重要。
[B]
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了人工智能的譜曲技術(shù)對作曲家的影響及應(yīng)對建議。
5．選B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，文章中提到人工智能的新發(fā)展是它的作曲能力。
6．選B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句可知，Yacht使用人工智能突破了舒適圈，創(chuàng)造出了與他們以前的歌曲不同的東西。
7．選D　段落大意題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Faced with this challenge ... use these new tools to explore new frontiers.”可知，本段主要針對文章倒數(shù)第二段提出的問題“人類作曲家擔心他們的工作可能會被機器取代”給出具體的建議。
8．選A　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Faced with this challenge, on the one hand ...on the other hand ...”可知，作者對人工智能技術(shù)的態(tài)度是客觀的。
Ⅱ.完形填空
語篇解讀：本文是夾敘夾議文。作者熱愛唱歌，曾經(jīng)參加過一次合唱團面試，沒有被選上。后來在一家餐廳唱卡拉OK，得到大家的鼓勵。從中作者體會到，對于自己熱愛的事情，一定不要放棄。
9．選D　根據(jù)“... only talk when asked to”可知，只有別人問他，作者才說話，否則就不怎么講話，說明作者是安靜的(quiet)。
10．選C　作者熱愛音樂，通過音樂表達自己的思想。teach oneself“自學”；praise oneself “自我表揚”；express oneself“表達自我”；help oneself“隨便用/取”。
11．選A　短語sing one's heart out表示“充滿感情地歌唱”。
12．選B　根據(jù)前一句“I felt most like myself.”可知，作者熱愛歌唱，對唱歌充滿熱情。pride“驕傲”；enthusiasm“熱情”；knowledge“知識”；courage“勇氣”。
13．選A　根據(jù)下文的“I did not get into one programme”指沒有進入這次的合唱團項目。
14．選B　根據(jù)“on the chalkboard”可知，是寫在黑板上。 suggest“建議”；write“寫”； translate“翻譯”；record“記錄”。
15．選A　根據(jù)“When my audition was over”可知，試唱結(jié)束后，會感到輕松。relief“輕松”； concern“關(guān)心”；anger“憤怒”；sympathy“同情”。
16．選D　根據(jù)下文“ Angelica H. alternate (候補者)”可知，公布了進入合唱團的名單。remove“移走”； sign“簽字”；expect“期待”；post“張貼，公布”。
17．選B　雖然進入了名單，但是是候補，所以作者覺得沒有信心了。 curiosity“好奇心”；confidence“信心”； pressure“壓力”； kindness“善良”。
18．選C　根據(jù)上文“I hit every note, and the sound was amazing.”可知，作者覺得自己試唱表現(xiàn)不錯，沒想到只是列入候補名單，所以內(nèi)心很崩潰。 continue“繼續(xù)”； start“開始”；crash“崩潰”；exist“存在”。
19．選D　根據(jù)下文“people eating________ for me”中的“people eating”可知是在餐廳里。
20．選B　根據(jù)“a song by Sam Smith”可知，作者挑選(choose)了一首山姆·史密斯的歌。
21．選A　作者唱到高音精彩處，在餐廳吃飯的人都為他歡呼。cheer“歡呼，加油”； stop“停止”；struggle“掙扎”； vote“投票”。
22．選D　根據(jù)下一句“I still liked singing.”可知，作者仍然熱愛唱歌，并沒有放棄希望(hope)。
23．選C　上文提到作者在參加合唱團面試時被拒絕。因此作者得到的教訓是：即使被拒絕，也不要輕易放棄。pick out“挑選出”； bring up“撫養(yǎng)，養(yǎng)育”； turn down“拒絕”； leave behind“留下”。
