（2022·四川·眉山市教育科学研究所高一期末）“What is the story of your piano?” A new friend asked over dinner. My piano stays in a corner of small living room. “All pianos have stories,” she said. Suddenly, my piano’s story came flooding out of me fully-formed as if I’d always had this tale to tell.

I loved music since childhood. I studied with the recorder and moved to the violin, trumpet and guitar. But playing the piano had always been my dream, a dream our family could not afford.

I grew up in an immigrant Chinese family in Toronto. My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant, and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry. Despite our poor childhood, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I were always fed with love. I can’t remember which birthday it was when my mother spared the money to buy me a doll. Of course, by then I’d outgrown wanting dolls. But she worked too hard to know that and I never told her. I happily and gratefully accepted the doll because I loved the gift that was her loving me enough to buy it for me.

So it was eventually with my piano. It was in my last year of high school. I took piano lessons for about a year before university forced me to stop. I had to make a decision to continue the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music. The practical one in me won. But I also stopped piano lessons because as with my doll, it was too late to learn to play the way I wanted.

I moved that piano around with me over the next decade — until my son was born, he showed an early interest in music, so I put him in piano lessons.

I’ve come to realize that in pursuit of my career, I’ve let all personal pleasure fall away. Maybe it’s time to get that piano retuned (重新调音) again, this time for myself, before it’s too late to enjoy. Maybe that’s something we all should do right now.

Sometimes a single question can open whole paths of thinking and discovery. So, what is the story of your piano?

4．What do we know about the author from the first three paragraphs?

A．She was born in a musical family. B．She refused to accept the doll as a gift.

C．She had a poor but happy childhood. D．Her parents were too busy to care for her.

5．Why did the author stop learning the piano in her last year of high school?

A．Playing the piano was useless to her. B．She couldn’t afford piano lessons.

C．Her parents forced her to stop. D．She faced academic and career pressure.

6．What will the author probably do in the near future?

A．Ask her son to learn the piano. B．Buy a new piano for herself.

C．Restart her piano dream. D．Focus on her medical career.

7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?

A．To share her story about an unrealized dream. B．To show the advantage of medicine over music.

C．To recall her unfortunate childhood experience. D．To encourage readers to play the piano.

（2022·河北张家口·高一期末）Beethoven, one of the world’s most-loved composers, is famous for his nine symphonies (交响乐). Before he died, he began a new symphony, but never finished it. Computer scientists and musicians have now used artificial intelligence to finish his 10th Symphony.

Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but he’s probably best known for his nine symphonies. A symphony is a long, grand piece of classical music, usually divided into four parts. The four parts are often linked by “themes” — repeated musical ideas that tie the whole piece together. When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony. But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches” — short bits of written music.

In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. To train an AI to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. By feeding the program all of Beethoven’s music, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. This included, for example, how he re used simple melodies (旋律) all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony. Thus, it would be much easier for the special team to finish Beethoven’s 10th Symphony.

One early test told the team they were on the right track. They took a few minutes of music created by the AI based on Beethoven’s sketches, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the AI made up. Finally, the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra — a large group of musicians playing everything from string instruments, like violins, trumpets, flutes, drums, and piano.

12．What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 1?

A．To explain what artificial intelligence is.

B．To give readers a general idea of the text.

C．To tell readers how Beethoven is loved by people.

D．To show the reason for Beethoven’s new symphony.

13．What is the goal of the special team?

A．To learn to play Beethoven’s nine symphonies.

B．To feed all Beethoven’s symphonies into computer.

C．To try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony.

D．To create a new piece of music based on the 10th Symphony.

14．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The special team’s great efforts paid off.

B．It was challenging for AI to complete the task.

C．Beethoven’s sketches were too hard to figure out.

D．AI created simply a melody of Beethoven’s 10th Symphony.

15．Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A brochure. B．A textbook.

C．A music review. D．A news website.

（2022·福建厦门·高一期末）阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Since the rise in popularity of MP3 players, working out has been done together with your personal music library. Whether it be running on the street on the treadmill or lifting weights in the gym, it seems every person is wearing a set of headphones when getting up.

We all feel that certain songs help us push that little bit harder but is there any science behind that? And if so, is there a particular type of music that helps you go that extra mile? It turns out, yes. While tiredness is physical during workout, a large part is also about how the brain sees this physical tiredness.

Listening to music while training takes the brain’s concentration away from the tired body. In a sense, it fights for the attention on the fact that the body is “working out”. This leads exercise to be viewed as less tough and makes working out more enjoyable.

The kind of music you listen to can depend on the type of workout you are doing. When running on a treadmill, most people choose a faster pace of 160 beats per minute (bpm).

It also depends on the intensity of the workout and your heartbeat. For example when training starts to get to average intense levels the sweet spot is around the 120-145 bpm mark. For reference, an analysis showed that out of 74000 popular songs produced between the1960s-1990s,120 bpm was the most common. So most songs will do the trick.

What is also worth mentioning is the psychological benefits of music on the individual. You should choose songs that have particular meanings and emotional connections with individuals because they can create encouragement and get people mentally prepared for the challenges This is very important when doing strong workouts or going for personal bests on the big lifts.
