Music has long been known for its ability to help people feel better, and when combined with artificial intelligence (AI), this healing effect becomes more accurate. This is shown by the new AI music therapy machine displayed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Developed by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, this machine offers personalized healing experiences for users.
Inside the machine, users wear special devices that check their brain activity and heart rate while sitting in comfortable chairs that feel like zero gravity. They relax to soft background music with natural sounds, such as birds singing or water flowing, and watch real-time information about their brain and body on a screen. Before the therapy starts, users fill out a form about their health and birth date. AI combines this information with real-time body data to create personalized music and matching pictures. After the session, they get a report on their therapy and a customized music plan.
The machine works by turning each person’s unique brain signals into sound waves through special computer programs. AI quickly studies personal characteristics and real-time body signs to make suitable sound environments, meeting both general and individual needs for healing through sound. It brings technology and art together, based on years of research by the conservatory’s lab.
This creative tool has many uses: it can help with sleep problems, low mood, and support babies born too early, children with special needs, and elderly people’s health care. It is already working with hospitals like Shanghai Huashan Hospital to help children with special needs, reduce pain, and ease exam stress for students.
Experts say AI is playing a bigger role in mental health care. Besides music therapy, AI can find emotional changes from social media posts or talks to spot risks of low mood. It also guides patients through mental health exercises and helps train children with special needs using virtual reality systems. As AI and music work together, they bring new hope for better mental and physical health.
4. Why is AI music therapy more effective
A．Creating relaxing music with AI and natural sounds.

C．By meeting different healing needs.
D．By picking the user’s favourite sounds and music.
7. What can we infer from the text

Bees have incredibly fascinating lives. Now a new two-part documentary series, Secrets of the Bees, is offering an up-close look at the insects’ world and their remarkable intelligence. It premieres (首映) on National Geographic on March 31 at 8 p. m. It will arrive on Disney and Hulu the next day.
The series was filmed over three years, and a team of scientists and filmmakers worked in locations such as the Amazon jungle, an almond orchard in California, and a lab in Colorado. They also monitored 15 different hives (蜂巢). They captured never-before-seen footage (镜头) of how bees move, work, and communicate by using equipment such as tiny sensors and powerful close-up camera lenses. Because the footage is taken from a bee’s perspective, viewers will see how an ordinary daisy can look as tall as a skyscraper. The crew also used cameras that filmed up to 2,000 frames per second. Played slowly, the footage allows viewers to observe movements that are usually too fast for the human eye to see.
The series is narrated by award-winning wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory. One on-camera expert is National Geographic Explorer and entomologist, a scientist who studies insects. Dr. Samuel Ramsey, who also served as a scientific adviser to the show. He told The Week Junior that the goal of the series is to “take an organism that people feel like they know everything about, and then show them a different advantage point.”
In the show, Ramsey visits a lab and sees an experiment in which bees are given puzzles and balls. “I could see that bees have personality,” he said. “They play, and they even solve puzzles and pass that information on from bee to bee.” Ramsey said one of the most memorable scenes in the series shows bees dealing with a hornet (大黄蜂) that invades a hive. After surrounding the hornet, the bees vibrate to generate heat, killing the invader. “It’s incredible,” he said.
Ramsey hopes the viewers will be inspired by the insects, whose behavior in their colonies is similar to humans’; “There are a lot of individuals—they all have different jobs, ages, and companions, but they are all working together toward a common goal,” he said. “This documentary shows the importance of maintaining individuality and what can be achieved when you work together.”
8. What can be known about Secrets of the Bees
A．Bees have attractive lives.
B．Bees have the highest intelligence.
C．We can further understand bees.
D．We will see the series on March 31 on Disney.
9. What is the primary goal of the documentary series
A．To reveal the threats faced by bees.
B．To demonstrate the latest filming technologies.
C．To teach viewers how to increase bees’ populations.
D．To present a fresh and surprising perspective on bees.
10. What can be concluded from Ramsey’s description of bee behavior
A．It focuses on the biological structure of bees.
B．It highlights the intelligence and social nature of bees.
C．It compares the habitats of bees with that of other insects.
D．It warns about the decreasing number of bees worldwide.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Scientists’ Protection of Bees
B．An Expert’s View on Bees
C．Challenges of Filming Bees in the Wild
D．A Documentary Exploring Bees’ Intelligence

Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated (培养). With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck
Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life.
12. What can we know about virtuous people from Paragraph 1
A．They are born with virtues.
B．They never make a mistake.
C．They have a habit of doing good.
D．They act on the principle of profit.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Satisfying career.
B．Practicing virtues.
C．Trust in a relationship.
D．Basic qualities of well-being.
14. What can we infer from the examples given in Paragraph 3
A．Virtues only work in personal relationships.
B．Being grateful always leads to a better job quickly.
C．Kindness is the most useful virtue in dealing with bad moods.
D．Applying virtues properly can change a situation for the better.
15. What is the author’s purpose in the last paragraph
A．To encourage readers to be more virtuous.
B．To encourage readers to live a purposeful life.
C．To encourage readers to offer others guidance.
D．To encourage readers to develop others’ potential.

Technology is here to stay. ___16___. However, they are often unsure how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.

Family time without tech

B．Communicate with children

There’s an autumn day that I recall (回忆) every time I find myself caught up in the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of life.
I was a teenager at the time, caught up in the busy life of school, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. It was my neighbor, Mr. Jensen, who brought me back to earth.
Mr. Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Every time I saw him in his garden, he was watering and admiring his roses with such focus, as if weeding (除草) never troubled him.
One sunny afternoon, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed, my anger going into every pull of the weeds. The soil flew in every direction as I attacked the unwanted plants with unnecessary force, my mind running through endless to-do lists. Mr. Jensen was in his garden as usual, taking care of his roses with the same calm patience he always showed.
Seeing how upset I was, he came over and began weeding next to me without a word.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

An Earthquake Drill in Our School
Last Friday, our whole school took part in an earthquake drill organized by teachers.
Before the drill, teachers told us basic self-protection knowledge. When the alarm rang, we hid under desks at once to avoid falling objects. Soon we lined up quietly and walked downstairs in order, leaving the building within three minutes. Finally, we gathered on the playground and counted students.
This activity is really meaningful. It teaches us useful survival skills and makes us calm when facing emergencies.
五、读后续写满分范文
After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. He told me that roses needed both weeds and sunshine to grow beautifully, just like our lives. We all have annoying troubles, but we should not only focus on them and lose sight of lovely things around us. He said pressure from college applications was normal, but I shouldn’t let anxiety control my whole life. His gentle words calmed my upset heart greatly.
Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.” We walked slowly among the rose bushes and admired their bright flowers. The sweet smell of roses washed away my worry little by little. I realized I had been too busy chasing future goals to stop and enjoy small happiness. From that day on, whenever I feel stressed, I will come to the garden to appreciate the roses and keep a peaceful mind.
