An ld, wise man wh grew sicker felt his jurney n Earth was cming t an end. Hwever, his sn was still a yung man and had yet t reach his full ptential. And s the father tk it upn himself t teach his sn the ways f the wrld.
The ld man handed the yung man a watch, a family heirlm （传家宝）passed dwn fr generatins. “Ask the jeweler hw much it's wrth. But dn't accept any ffer. Instead, cme back hme with the watch.” The by did as he was instructed. The jeweler said it was nly wrth $100 as he'd have a hard time finding a buyer.
“Okay,” the father said. “Then take the watch t the pawnshp （当铺）. See hw much yu can get fr the watch.” In his mind, the by disagreed. But he didn't want t argue with his father in pr health s he did the jb anyway. He even went abve and beynd t see tw friends wrking in pawnshps nly t be tld the watch had scratches, which even he didn't ntice after carrying it all day.
The father paused fr a mment and said, “I want yu t g t the museum this time. There's a wman I want yu t talk t. I sense this persn will knw better what this watch is really wrth.”
After meeting his father's friend, he ran back hme t tell his ld man the gd news, “Yu wn't believe it! We finally gt an amazing ffer. She said she never thught she'd see ne in persn. The museum wuld like t buy it fr $35, 000! I haven't realized I was hlding n t smething that valuable.”
His dad said, “What's mre imprtant t me is that yu learned smething abut value and self-wrth. Yu see —just like that watch—yu t have value. And if yu g t the wrng places, yu'll never knw just hw much value yu have. Even yur wn friends can get it wrng. But there's always a place yu can g t where everyne will see yur real value.”

When yu think f the mst innvative （创新的） rganisatins, chances are that yur mind will immediately g t Apple, Ggle, r perhaps OpenAI, the cmpany behind ChatGPT that is leading the AI revlutin. But there is ne ther rganisatin ding exceptinal wrk: Transprt fr Lndn （TfL） , a tube cnstantly testing ut new technlgies fr Lndn's transprtatin experience.
Willesden Green, a suburban statin in Nrth West Lndn was just transfrmed int a “smart” statin. What TIL did was take the CCTV （闭路电视） cameras and plug them int an AI image recgnitin system—which turned what previusly had been rdinary vide recrdings int intelligent cameras, capable f identifying what was happening inside the statin.
TfL is at the cutting edge and significantly eased the wrklad f Tube staff. Fr example, the system detected fallen passengers, warning staff via iPads t assist them. It als sptted peple standing t clse t the platfrm edge, reminding staff f ptential danger. Fr irrespnsible behavir, staff culd make annuncements. The cameras als identified wheelchair users and thse waiting t lng, allwing staff t ffer assistance. TfL's frward-thinking apprach in embracing technlgy is praisewrthy, imprving public safety and prviding a mre smth travel experience in Lndn.
The highlight f this system is its ability t detect unwanted behavir. The AI cameras are designed t identify ptential threats like knives, guns, and ticket barrier vilatrs （违反者） . Hwever, I'm particularly impressed with hw it recgnizes“aggressive behavir”. This is hard t d, because describing t a cmputer what that lks like is tricky. Instead, TfL prgrammed the system t warn staff if anyne in the statin raises bth f their arms at the same time, as this is a gesture ften cnnected with threatening behavir.
Hwever, it isn't withut cntrversy （争议）—it des cause uncmfrtableness frm a civil liberties. The prblem with AI identifying images means that it culd just as easily spt flags r plitical symbls, fr example. And yu can imagine hw it culd be used t clsely mnitr staff in an unpleasant way.
28. Why are Apple, Ggle, and OpenAI mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T cmpare their strengths. B. T stress the tube's innvatin.
C. T shw the ppularity f the tube. D. T share the travel experience.
29. What des Paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. Hw ppular AI is becming in TfL. B. What AI des t detect passengers in TfL.
C. Hw AI reduces wrk burden in TfL. D. Why AI is influencing TfL s much.
30. What des the underlined wrd “tricky” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Challenging. B. Easy. C. Unachievable. D. Perfect.
31. What is the best title f the passage?
A. Is it wrthy t apply AI t TfL? B. AI des mre gd than harm.
C. TfL is becming safer and safer. D. TfL is smarter with AI.
D
Hw much we enjy music may partly cme dwn t ur genetic （基因的） make-up, accrding t a study f thusands f twins. The pleasure peple get frm a tune is cnnected t its effects n ur emtinal respnses and ability t frm scial cnnectins. The degree f enjyment differs frm persn t persn, but little is knwn abut why.
T investigate the rle f genetics, Bignardi, a sychlinguistic expert and his clleagues lked at mre than 9000 twins in the research. Abut 3400 were identical （相同的） and 5600 nn-identical. The frmer share the same genme （基因组）, while nn-identical twins share nly half their genmes, as is the case with any nn-twin bilgical siblings. All the twins in the study, between 37 and 64 years, were raised in the same husehlds and s had similar envirnments while grwing up. This made it easier t srt ut genetic cntributins.
The researchers first gt the twins t cmplete the Barcelna Music Reward Questinnaire, which fcuses n hw much pleasure they get frm music. The team then analysed the relative cntributins f genetics and envirnment t musical enjyment amng the twins. This shwed that genetics seems t play a great rle in influencing hw much pleasure music brings, with the identical twins being mre than twice as similar in this
characteristic as the nn-identical nes.
Bignardi and his team als tested the participants' abilities t pick up between different meldies, rhythms and tnes, with previus research linking genetics t musical ability. They fund that the influence genetics has n enjying music isn't necessarily linked t musical talent.
The study is inspiring, says Peter at the University f Cambridge. “It's evident that musical ability might have a genetic basis; it accunts fr why sme peple seem t pssess a gift fr music that enables them t develp amazing skills frm a yung age.” Hwever, it is less bvius that the degree f pleasure frm listening t music is influenced by genes, s it is interesting the study finds this effect, he says.
The results add a new piece t the puzzle f why music has such a pwerful effect n certain peple and pen up new pssibilities fr using inter-individual differences t understand the bilgy f a key aspect f human behavir, as the research shws.
32. Why are twins raised frm the same envirnment chsen in the research?
A. T figure ut the cntributins f genetics. B. T shw the bnd f gene and envirnment.
C. T analyze genetic effect in musical abilities. D. T intrduce the backgrund f the research.
33. What was the main purpse f the study f thusands f twins?
A. T assess the twins' musical abilities.
B. T test the Barcelna Music Reward Questinnaire.
C. T understand the influence f genetics n musical pleasure.
D. T cmpare identical and nn-identical twins' envirnments.
34. What's Peter's attitude t the research?
A. Negative. B. Psitive. C. Dubtful D. Wrried.
35. Which aspect f the research can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Its applicatins. B. Its cnclusins.
C. Its limitatins. D. Its imprtance.

Many cities have interesting nicknames. Hwever, New Orleans, Luisiana prbably has mre nicknames than any ther American city. One website lists mre than twenty nicknames. The mst famus is The Big Easy. It describes the gentle, slw and easy-ging way f life in New Orleans.
S hw did the city get this nickname? In the early nineteen hundreds, there was a dance hall in New Orleans called The Big Easy. But the nickname did nt becme famus until the early nineteen seventies. That was when a Luisiana newspaper writer began calling New Orleans by this name. She cmpared the easy-ging way f life there with the hurried pace f life in New Yrk City.
In nineteen seventy, James Cnaway wrte a crime nvel called The Big Easy. The stry was set in New Orleans. In nineteen eighty-seven, that bk was made int a film which made the nickname even mre ppular.
Anther nickname is “The Birthplace f Jazz” because that kind f music started in New Orleans. It is als called “Mardi Gras City” fr the wild celebratins and parades that take place there every year. And, there is a nickname that uses the shrt way t write New Orleans and Luisiana. If yu d nt want t use the cmplete name, yu can call the city NOLA.

文章大意：文章介绍了在新加坡即将上演的几场戏剧、喜剧、音乐剧和戏剧表演，供戏剧爱好者欣赏。
21. B。 “Le Bal De Paris” ，文章提到 “Interact with real dancers, dance t the rhythm, and witness the perfect transitin frm the virtual t the real”，即与真实舞者互动，随着节奏跳舞，并见证从虚拟到现实的完美过渡。这表明它提供了一个互动的体验，所以选项 B 是正确答案。
22. A。原文中提到 “Macbeth by the Handlebards” 的演出日期是 2024 年 3 月 23 日，而这位莎士比亚迷在 3月23日有空，所以 A 选项 “Macbeth by the Handlebards” 是最合适的。
23. B。Falling ，提到了主人公塔米和比尔努力抚养他们的孩子丽莎（一个焦虑的青少年）和乔希（一个18 岁的自闭症患者），这表明它关注的是青少年的生活。同样，Secndary: The Musical，提到了年轻教师莉莉安和她的青少年学生明、奥马尔和雷扬什，这也表明它聚焦于青少年的生活。因此，两部作品都关注青少年的生活，选项 B 是正确答案。

文章大意：一位年老且智慧的父亲在临终前，意识到他的儿子还未达到他的全部潜力，于是决定教导他关于世界的道理。他给了儿子一个家族传家宝的手表，并让儿子去不同地方询问其价值，以此来向儿子展示不同人对同一事物价值的看法会有多么不同。最终，在博物馆，手表的价值被大幅提升，这象征性地表明了儿子自己的价值远超过他可能意识到的。父亲借此机会告诉儿子，去错误的地方，人们将永远不知道自己的真正价值，但总有一个地方，人们会看到他的真实价值。
24. C。当铺的人告诉他手表有划痕可能是为了解释为什么他们给出的价格不会很高，因为划痕会降低物品 的价值。同时，也为下文及主旨做铺垫。
25. D。在文章中提到： “ ‘Yu wn’t believe it! We finally gt an amazing ffer. She said she never thught she’d see ne in persn. The museum wuld like t buy it fr $35, 000! I haven’t realized I was hlding n t smething that valuable.’ ” 这段话表达了男孩非常兴奋和难以置信的心情，因为博物馆给出了非常高的价格。因此，他去博物馆之后的感觉是兴奋的，选项 D 正确。
26. A。文章描述了老人通过让儿子去不同地方询问手表的价值来教导儿子关于价值和自我价值的重要性。老人耐心地引导儿子，没有直接告诉他答案，而是让他自己通过实践来学习和领悟。这表明老人是一个耐心而智慧的人，因此选项 A 正确。
27. C。文章中老人通过让儿子去不同地方询问手表的价值，让儿子意识到自己的价值可能远超过自己的想 象。因此，我们可以从故事中学习到，要相信自己。所以选项 C“Believe in yurself until smene discvers yur value”是正确的。A. 不要本末倒置。 B. 不要以貌取人。 C. 相信自己的价值，直到有人真正发现和认可它。 D. 己所不欲勿施于人。

文章大意：文章主要介绍了伦敦交通局（TfL）如何通过采用创新技术来提升伦敦的公共交通体验。特别是，文章详细描述了 TfL 如何利用人工智能图像识别系统对伦敦西北部的一个郊区车站 Willesden Green进行智能化改造，以及这一技术如何帮助提高公共安全、减轻工作人员负担并提供更顺畅的旅行体验。此外，文章还强调了这一系统识别潜在威胁和不良行为的能力，特别是在识别“攻击性行为”方面的成就，进一步突出了 TfL 在拥抱技术方面的前瞻性做法。
28. B。在第一段中，作者提到了 Apple、Ggle 和 OpenAI 等创新组织，但随后话锋一转，提到了Transprt fr Lndn（TfL）这个组织也在做出色的工作，即不断测试新技术以增强伦敦的交通体验。因此，作者提到这些创新组织是为了强调 TfL 的创新性。因此，答案为 B。
29. C。第三段主要讲述了 AI 如何帮助 TfL 减轻工作负担。例如，系统可以检测跌倒的乘客，通过 iPad 提醒工作人员提供帮助；发现离站台边缘太近的人，警告工作人员潜在的危险；识别不负责任的行为，让工作人员发布公告；识别轮椅用户和等待过久的人，让工作人员提供帮助。因此，第三段主要讲述了 AI 如何减少TfL 的工作负担。
30. A。第四段中提到 AI 摄像头识别“攻击性行为”很难，因为向计算机描述这种行为的样子很棘手。因此， AI 摄像头识别“攻击性行为”是具有挑战性的，选项 A“具有挑战性的”是 tricky 的同义词。
31. D。文章主要介绍了伦敦交通局（TfL）如何通过采用人工智能技术来提升伦敦的公共交通体验，使得 伦敦的地铁更加智能。因此，最适合的标题是 D 选项，即 “TfL is smarter with AI” （伦敦的地铁因 AI 而更智能）。

文章体裁：科学研究报告
文章大意：一项针对数千对双胞胎的研究发现，人们对音乐的享受程度可能部分上取决于他们的基因构成。音乐给人带来的愉悦感与它对人们情感反应和社交联系形成能力的影响有关。此外，研究还发现，遗传对享受音乐的影响并不一定与音乐天赋有关。
32. A。在研究中选择在同一家庭中长大的双胞胎是为了更容易地找出遗传的贡献。这是因为所有参与研究的双胞胎都在相同的家庭环境中长大，所以他们在成长过程中具有相似的环境。这使得研究人员更容易地确定遗传在音乐享受中的作用，从而了解遗传对音乐享受的贡献。因此，A 正确。
33. C。在第一段中提到“根据一项对数千对双胞胎的研究，我们对音乐的享受程度可能部分上取决于我们的基因构成”，因此该研究的主要目的是了解基因对音乐享受的影响。因此，正确答案为 C ，即“了解基因对音乐享受的影响”。
34. B。在第五段中提到“然而，听音乐带来的愉悦程度是否受基因影响就不那么明显了，所以这项研究能发现这种效应很有趣”，因此 Peter对这项研究是积极的态度。
35. D。最后一段提到：“这些结果为音乐为何能对某些人产生如此强大的影响增添了新的谜题，并在论文中写道，这‘为利用个体差异来深入了解人类行为的一个关键方面的生物学提供了新的可能性’。”这段话强调了研究的重要性，即它不仅为我们提供了关于音乐如何影响人们的新见解，而且还为我们进一步了解人类行为的生物学基础提供了新的途径。

文章大意：本文介绍了几个提高健身运动趣味性的方法，包括与他人一起运动、设定小目标、给自己奖励 以及到户外进行运动等。
36. A。接下来的内容提到了“与不同朋友一起进行活动或参加社交性强的课程”，这与“使其社交化”相契合。因此，此选项作为段落的主题句，引出了下面的具体建议。
37. D。这一段提到了“get creative”（变得有创意），紧接着提到“你的伙伴甚至可以是你的狗”，这明显是一个创意的建议，与户外活动和社交化主题相关。
38. E。这一段讨论的是“减轻压力”，提到了“设定小目标有助于消除任何压力或不知所措的感觉”。因此，这个选项与设定小目标以减轻压力的建议相吻合。
39. G。这一段是关于“自我奖励”的，提到了“ 只有在你完成锻炼后才允许自己获得奖励”。因此，这个选项与锻炼后期待某种奖励（如早餐或咖啡）以激励自己相吻合。
40. C。这一段讨论的是“户外锻炼”的好处，提到了“户外活动可以增强情绪”这一优势，而且与后文最后两句形成总分关系。

What TIL did was take the CCTV （闭路电视） cameras and plug them int an AI image recgnitin system—which turned what previusly had been rdinary vide recrdings int intelligent cameras, capable f identifying what was happening inside the statin.
TfL is at the cutting edge and significantly eased the wrklad f Tube staff. Fr example, the system detected fallen passengers, warning staff via iPads t assist them. It als sptted peple standing t clse t the platfrm edge, reminding staff f ptential danger. Fr irrespnsible behavir, staff culd make annuncements. The cameras als identified wheelchair users and thse waiting t lng, allwing staff t ffer assistance. TfL's frward-thinking apprach in embracing technlgy is praisewrthy, imprving public safety and prviding a mre smth travel experience in Lndn.
The highlight f this system is its ability t detect unwanted behavir. The AI cameras are designed t identify ptential threats like knives, guns, and ticket barrier vilatrs （违反者） . Hwever, I'm particularly impressed with hw it recgnizes“aggressive behavir”. This is hard t d, because describing t a cmputer what that lks like is tricky. Instead, TfL prgrammed the system t warn staff if anyne in the statin raises bth f their arms at the same time, as this is a gesture ften cnnected with threatening behavir.
Hwever, it isn't withut cntrversy （争议）—it des cause uncmfrtableness frm a civil liberties. The prblem with AI identifying images means that it culd just as easily spt flags r plitical symbls, fr example. And yu can imagine hw it culd be used t clsely mnitr staff in an unpleasant way.
28. Why are Apple, Ggle, and OpenAI mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T cmpare their strengths. B. T stress the tube's innvatin.
C. T shw the ppularity f the tube. D. T share the travel experience.

Hw much we enjy music may partly cme dwn t ur genetic （基因的） make-up, accrding t a study f thusands f twins. The pleasure peple get frm a tune is cnnected t its effects n ur emtinal respnses and ability t frm scial cnnectins. The degree f enjyment differs frm persn t persn, but little is knwn abut why.
T investigate the rle f genetics, Bignardi, a sychlinguistic expert and his clleagues lked at mre than 9000 twins in the research. Abut 3400 were identical （相同的） and 5600 nn-identical. The frmer share the same genme （基因组）, while nn-identical twins share nly half their genmes, as is the case with any nn-twin bilgical siblings. All the twins in the study, between 37 and 64 years, were raised in the same husehlds and s had similar envirnments while grwing up. This made it easier t srt ut genetic cntributins.
The researchers first gt the twins t cmplete the Barcelna Music Reward Questinnaire, which fcuses n hw much pleasure they get frm music. The team then analysed the relative cntributins f genetics and envirnment t musical enjyment amng the twins. This shwed that genetics seems t play a great rle in influencing hw much pleasure music brings, with the identical twins being mre than twice as similar in this
characteristic as the nn-identical nes.
Bignardi and his team als tested the participants' abilities t pick up between different meldies, rhythms and tnes, with previus research linking genetics t musical ability. They fund that the influence genetics has n enjying music isn't necessarily linked t musical talent.
The study is inspiring, says Peter at the University f Cambridge. “It's evident that musical ability might have a genetic basis; it accunts fr why sme peple seem t pssess a gift fr music that enables them t develp amazing skills frm a yung age.” Hwever, it is less bvius that the degree f pleasure frm listening t music is influenced by genes, s it is interesting the study finds this effect, he says.
The results add a new piece t the puzzle f why music has such a pwerful effect n certain peple and pen up new pssibilities fr using inter-individual differences t understand the bilgy f a key aspect f human behavir, as the research shws.
32. Why are twins raised frm the same envirnment chsen in the research?
A. T figure ut the cntributins f genetics. B. T shw the bnd f gene and envirnment.
C. T analyze genetic effect in musical abilities. D. T intrduce the backgrund f the research.
33. What was the main purpse f the study f thusands f twins?
A. T assess the twins' musical abilities.
B. T test the Barcelna Music Reward Questinnaire.
C. T understand the influence f genetics n musical pleasure.
D. T cmpare identical and nn-identical twins' envirnments.
34. What's Peter's attitude t the research?
A. Negative. B. Psitive. C. Dubtful D. Wrried.
35. Which aspect f the research can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Its applicatins. B. Its cnclusins.
C. Its limitatins. D. Its imprtance.

Many cities have interesting nicknames. Hwever, New Orleans, Luisiana prbably has mre nicknames than any ther American city. One website lists mre than twenty nicknames. The mst famus is The Big Easy. It describes the gentle, slw and easy-ging way f life in New Orleans.
S hw did the city get this nickname? In the early nineteen hundreds, there was a dance hall in New Orleans called The Big Easy. But the nickname did nt becme famus until the early nineteen seventies. That was when a Luisiana newspaper writer began calling New Orleans by this name. She cmpared the easy-ging way f life there with the hurried pace f life in New Yrk City.
In nineteen seventy, James Cnaway wrte a crime nvel called The Big Easy. The stry was set in New Orleans. In nineteen eighty-seven, that bk was made int a film which made the nickname even mre ppular.
Anther nickname is “The Birthplace f Jazz” because that kind f music started in New Orleans. It is als called “Mardi Gras City” fr the wild celebratins and parades that take place there every year. And, there is a nickname that uses the shrt way t write New Orleans and Luisiana. If yu d nt want t use the cmplete name, yu can call the city NOLA.

文章大意：一位年老且智慧的父亲在临终前，意识到他的儿子还未达到他的全部潜力，于是决定教导他关于世界的道理。他给了儿子一个家族传家宝的手表，并让儿子去不同地方询问其价值，以此来向儿子展示不同人对同一事物价值的看法会有多么不同。最终，在博物馆，手表的价值被大幅提升，这象征性地表明了儿子自己的价值远超过他可能意识到的。父亲借此机会告诉儿子，去错误的地方，人们将永远不知道自己的真正价值，但总有一个地方，人们会看到他的真实价值。
24. C。当铺的人告诉他手表有划痕可能是为了解释为什么他们给出的价格不会很高，因为划痕会降低物品 的价值。同时，也为下文及主旨做铺垫。
25. D。在文章中提到： “ ‘Yu wn’t believe it! We finally gt an amazing ffer. She said she never thught she’d see ne in persn. The museum wuld like t buy it fr $35, 000! I haven’t realized I was hlding n t smething that valuable.’ ” 这段话表达了男孩非常兴奋和难以置信的心情，因为博物馆给出了非常高的价格。因此，他去博物馆之后的感觉是兴奋的，选项 D 正确。

文章大意：文章主要介绍了伦敦交通局（TfL）如何通过采用创新技术来提升伦敦的公共交通体验。特别是，文章详细描述了 TfL 如何利用人工智能图像识别系统对伦敦西北部的一个郊区车站 Willesden Green进行智能化改造，以及这一技术如何帮助提高公共安全、减轻工作人员负担并提供更顺畅的旅行体验。此外，文章还强调了这一系统识别潜在威胁和不良行为的能力，特别是在识别“攻击性行为”方面的成就，进一步突出了 TfL 在拥抱技术方面的前瞻性做法。
28. B。在第一段中，作者提到了 Apple、Ggle 和 OpenAI 等创新组织，但随后话锋一转，提到了Transprt fr Lndn（TfL）这个组织也在做出色的工作，即不断测试新技术以增强伦敦的交通体验。因此，作者提到这些创新组织是为了强调 TfL 的创新性。因此，答案为 B。
29. C。第三段主要讲述了 AI 如何帮助 TfL 减轻工作负担。例如，系统可以检测跌倒的乘客，通过 iPad 提醒工作人员提供帮助；发现离站台边缘太近的人，警告工作人员潜在的危险；识别不负责任的行为，让工作人员发布公告；识别轮椅用户和等待过久的人，让工作人员提供帮助。因此，第三段主要讲述了 AI 如何减少TfL 的工作负担。
30. A。第四段中提到 AI 摄像头识别“攻击性行为”很难，因为向计算机描述这种行为的样子很棘手。因此， AI 摄像头识别“攻击性行为”是具有挑战性的，选项 A“具有挑战性的”是 tricky 的同义词。
31. D。文章主要介绍了伦敦交通局（TfL）如何通过采用人工智能技术来提升伦敦的公共交通体验，使得 伦敦的地铁更加智能。因此，最适合的标题是 D 选项，即 “TfL is smarter with AI” （伦敦的地铁因 AI 而更智能）。

文章大意：一项针对数千对双胞胎的研究发现，人们对音乐的享受程度可能部分上取决于他们的基因构成。音乐给人带来的愉悦感与它对人们情感反应和社交联系形成能力的影响有关。此外，研究还发现，遗传对享受音乐的影响并不一定与音乐天赋有关。
32. A。在研究中选择在同一家庭中长大的双胞胎是为了更容易地找出遗传的贡献。这是因为所有参与研究的双胞胎都在相同的家庭环境中长大，所以他们在成长过程中具有相似的环境。这使得研究人员更容易地确定遗传在音乐享受中的作用，从而了解遗传对音乐享受的贡献。因此，A 正确。
33. C。在第一段中提到“根据一项对数千对双胞胎的研究，我们对音乐的享受程度可能部分上取决于我们的基因构成”，因此该研究的主要目的是了解基因对音乐享受的影响。因此，正确答案为 C ，即“了解基因对音乐享受的影响”。
34. B。在第五段中提到“然而，听音乐带来的愉悦程度是否受基因影响就不那么明显了，所以这项研究能发现这种效应很有趣”，因此 Peter对这项研究是积极的态度。
35. D。最后一段提到：“这些结果为音乐为何能对某些人产生如此强大的影响增添了新的谜题，并在论文中写道，这‘为利用个体差异来深入了解人类行为的一个关键方面的生物学提供了新的可能性’。”这段话强调了研究的重要性，即它不仅为我们提供了关于音乐如何影响人们的新见解，而且还为我们进一步了解人类行为的生物学基础提供了新的途径。
