21、Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but he’s probably best known for his nine symphonies. A symphony is a long, complicated 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. Their goal: to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony, they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where deep learning came in. Deep learning—sometimes called Artificial Intelligence (AI)—describes computer programs that sort deeply through huge amounts of information. This allows them to find patterns humans may not have noticed. The programs can then use those patterns in new and surprising ways.
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 all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony.
Other members of the team studied Beethoven’s notes and sketches, and worked to figure out what Beethoven was planning to do. Where in the symphony did he plan to use each little bit of music that he left?
________. They played a few minutes of music created by the AI 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, to trumpets, flutes, drums, and piano. So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he’d had the chance.
【1】What does “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．How to improve Beethoven’s symphonies.
B．How to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday.
C．How to restore Beethoven’s original thought accurately.
D．How to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony efficiently.

A．The test showed the team was on the right track.
B．The newly created music was beyond comparison.
C．The 10th Symphony was presented to be successful.
D．The first attempt proved the symphony was a masterpiece.
【3】What can be inferred about the application of AI in music?
A．They trained an AI to follow every note that Beethoven wrote.
B．Computer programs were written to turn these patterns into notes.
C．They taught AI to figure out how the music was played by Beethoven.
D．The AI managed to discover the patterns after processing the programs.
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．AI Is Applied to Playing Classical Music.
B．AI Is Used to Finish Beethoven’s Music.
C．The Process of Beethoven’s Creation of Music.
D．Beethoven’s Last but the Most Famous Symphony.

23、The story began with a young mother who had three sons. Unfortunately, the youngest son developed slow thinking skills, not having the intelligence of his brothers.
With double duty as the mother of the household, she was exhausted, so that the youngest was often the target of anger and annoyance. Bad words, such as “you little fool” and the like, served as a daily meal for the youngest.
The words and curses he got from the mother and ridicule from friends convinced him that he was distressing and embarrassing his family. Every morning he woke up with his own face staring from the mirror reflection, he started to say quietly and sadly, “The fool is going to school.”
As adult citizens, there was compulsory military service which should be lived. Thus, the youngest son also signed up and started to follow the various tests: a medical, physical ability test and other tests. On the day of the announcement, he was called into the board of examiners.
In his mind, he convinced himself that he was the fool and couldn’t pass the tests this time as he entered the room with his head down. It was not expected at all. The tests turned out to have the highest praise from the board of examiners.
“Congratulations, young man! Your test results are incredible! You are really a great and talented young man. ”Words from the board of examiners became the discovery of a new side of himself that was not known in advance. Voice kept echoing in his mind, such as “I, the great man, am in the shower”, “The great man washes his face”, “The talented young man again brushes his teeth” and so on. Confidence and improved self-image came beyond usual.
20 years later, the youngest established himself as a successful businessman who was admired and respected, and received many awards.

24、It was a new home. It cost $154,000. Sarah Jennings of Bay Shore, New York was ready to buy it, but her real estate agent suggested getting a home inspection. 【1】 Jennings said, “I was just depressed. It was less than perfect.” Since the problems were minor and would cost little to fix, Jennings decided to buy the house anyway.
Many people are now adding the important step of home inspection into the process of buying a home. A home inspector does not check to see if the price is reasonable. 【2】 Is it safe? Do the electricity and water work well? Is the roof in good condition? What repairs may be necessary? The inspector gives an estimate of the cost for putting the home in good working condition. If the home inspector finds serious problems, the buyer may want to consider looking for another house.
【3】 Usually a buyer puts down some money (1%-5% of the purchase price) to show intent to buy. The seller and buyer may need to negotiate before they decide on the price for the house. In Bay Shore, there are more buyers than houses. 【4】
