B(2025·河南名校联考二模改编)
Inside a recording room at Queen Mary University of London,a group of researchers work with novel artificial intelligence(AI) tools to develop what they call the “new virtual worlds” of music.Andrea Martonelli and Max Graf are among more than 30 doctoral students working with Dr.Mathieu Barthet,a senior lecturer in Digital Media,to explore computational creativity and generative AI.Together,they have set up a futuristic studio where music meets cutting-edge tech.“It’s like extended reality,XR,a way of extending the physical reality that we live in,” Graf said while showcasing “Netz”,his virtual instrument.
Andrea plays the “HITar”,an advanced guitar with AI sensors,which reads his movements to make drum and combined sounds.While the presence of AI in music-making can be traced back to the 1950s,recent groundbreaking advances in generative AI,with robots now making music as digital pop stars,have divided opinions in the industry.
Generative AI is able to create content including original sounds,lyrics or entire songs on its own.UK alternative rock singer-songwriter Yungblud believes AI could help his music go “to another direction”.Other musicians worry that the technology could go too far.“I feel if you need AI to help write a song,especially when it’s for a likeness,that’s not cool,” Amy Love from a British rock band said,adding that using dead artists’ voices is “not on”.
“Unlawful development is what would put the sort of the opportunities of generative AI at risk,” said Abbas Lightwalla,director of global legal policy at an organization.But regulation of generative AI is only in its early stages.“I think AI can have its place in the music production chain,again if it’s guided in the right way and if we ensure that the musicians keep a certain amount of control,and performers as well,” said Dr.Barthet,“and there might be situations where AI-generated music works for new things that have not even emerged yet in new virtual worlds.”
5.What do Andrea and Max try to achieve
A.To improve AI’s creativity.
B.To run a studio aided by AI.
C.To employ AI to make music.
D.To develop XR with the aid of AI.
6.What is Yungblud’s attitude to AI’s role in music
A.Critical.　　　　　　B.Tolerant.
C.Uncertain. D.Supportive.
7.What can be inferred about AI according to Dr.Barthet
A.AI is likely to be out of control.
B.AI can have a very bright future.
C.AI can build an ideal virtual world.
D.AI is in great danger of disappearance.
8.Which can best serve as the title for the text
A.AI Comes:Legal or Illegal for Music
B.AI Comes:Blow or New Era for Music
C.AI Comes:Success or Failure of Technology
D.AI Comes:Chance or Challenge of Business

Ⅱ.七选五
(2025·河南郑州模拟)
Pantomime(哑剧) is a form of dramatic entertainment that uses facial expressions and body movements to communicate,rather than speech and dialogue.　9　 Nowadays,this art form of physical expression is popular in many different locations in theaters,street performances,and dance studios.
The term “pantomime” is often interchangeable with the word “mime”.　10　 Regardless of which word is used and what it refers to,performances are often placed into two style categories:the silent story and the narrative(叙事的) story.
Narrative stories require the performer to silently act out a scene presented by a narrator.In these performances,the actors may be required to change their facial expressions to show different emotions described by the narrator,or they may have to use their body to describe movements in a variety of environments and settings.Silent stories are similar in the way the actors perform.　11　 So it may require extra movements by the actors or audience interaction.
In the sixth century BCE,pantomime was usually a small part of a large production that also included music and paintings.Dancers were frequently used as the physical interpretation of a song.　12　 Over time,pantomime gained and lost popularity,but became a main part of operatic acts in England during the 1600s.Despite this,modern pantomimes did not come into existence until sometime in the 1800s.
　13　 For example,women often play male roles,while men regularly play female characters,the audience is encouraged to participate,and actors may be seen playing several characters in addition to their musical duties.
A.Pantomimes are usually meant for children.
B.It was only seen in ancient Greece originally.
C.The success of pantomimes depends heavily on the performers.
D.Both of them can describe either the performance or the performer.
E.To do this,they would express the words through dramatic movements.
F.However,there’s no narrator to express what is happening in the story.
G.Pantomime productions have developed some loosely followed conventions.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了伦敦玛丽女王大学的研究活动,研究团队和多名博士生正利用人工智能工具开发音乐的“全新虚拟世界”。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a group of researchers work with novel artificial intelligence(AI) tools to develop what they call the ‘new virtual worlds’ of music.Andrea Martonelli and Max Graf are among more than 30 doctoral students...”可知,Andrea和Max想要利用人工智能制作音乐,故选C项。

①计算的;计算性的　②开创性的;突破性的　③相似物;仿制品
④监管;法规　⑤由人工智能生成的
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哑剧的表现形式、分类、发展历史及现代哑剧的特点。
9.B　上文明确了哑剧的定义——通过面部表情和肢体动作而非语言交流的戏剧形式,下文则转向“如今这种艺术形式在多地流行”。B项“它最初只在古希腊出现。”既延续了对哑剧的介绍,又通过“最初”与“如今”形成时间上的对比,自然衔接起哑剧的起源与当下的流行状态,起到承上启下的作用。
10.D　上文指出“pantomime”和“mime”两个词常可互换,下文则说“无论用哪个词,表演都分为两类”。D项“两者都能描述表演或表演者。”进一步解释了两词可互换的原因——核心含义相通,既呼应了上文的“互换性”,又为下文“无论用哪个词”的表述做了铺垫,衔接紧密。
11.F　上文先介绍“叙事故事”有叙述者引导剧情,再提到“无声故事”表演方式与之类似。但下文转折说明“无声故事需要演员的额外动作或与观众互动”,可见其与叙事故事存在关键差异。F项“然而,没有叙述者来交代故事内容。”精准点出这一差异——缺少叙述者,既与上文形成转折,又解释了下文“需要额外动作”的原因,逻辑连贯。
12.E　上文提到“公元前6世纪,哑剧是大型演出的一部分,舞者常用来对歌曲进行肢体诠释”。E项“为做到这一点,他们会通过戏剧性动作表达歌词。”中,“To do this”直接呼应上文的“肢体诠释歌曲”,具体说明了舞者如何完成这种诠释,使前文的“肢体诠释”更具象。
13.G　下文通过“例如”列举了哑剧的具体特点:男女反串、鼓励观众参与、演员身兼多角等。G项“哑剧作品形成了一些大致遵循的惯例。”作为段落主题句,概括了这些特点的本质——是一种约定俗成的惯例,既总领全段,又引出下文的具体例子,结构清晰。
【语境猜词】
①可互换的;可交替的　②(电影、戏剧或广播节目的)出品,制作　③诠释;表演呈现
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了《西游记》主题曲作曲家许镜清的创作故事及其音乐成就。
14.being seated　考查非谓语动词。“spend+时间+(in) doing sth”意为“花费时间做某事”,seat与主语millennials之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用动词-ing形式的被动形式作宾语,故填being seated。
15.to　考查介词。be familiar to sb 意为“为某人所熟悉”。
16.director　考查名词。所填词作主语,根据语境可知,此处指《西游记》的导演,故填director。
17.the　考查冠词。“in the+年份s” 表示“在……世纪……年代”。
pletely　考查副词。所填词修饰形容词novel,需用副词形式,故填completely。
19.What　考查主语从句。was前为主语从句,从句缺少主语,指物,需用连接代词what引导。位于句首,首字母须大写,故填What。
20.meaning　考查非谓语动词。所填词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,所以用动词-ing形式,故填meaning。
21.To present　考查非谓语动词。所填词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式,位于句首,首字母须大写,故填To present。
22.has become　考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语so far可知,句子时态应用现在完成时,且句子主语为第三人称单数形式,故填has become。
23.which　考查定语从句。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a symbol of national pride,指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故填which。
【语境猜词】
