Over the fall, Zltkwski acquired five gats, and she has been getting the animals adapted t their new envirnment. She has let the gats clear sme f her mm’s land in a safe and ec-friendly manner, inspecting their prgress and timing, t help her handle inquiries frm peple thrughut the regin abut clearing their prperties.

Tday, pen bk-review pages, and yu are mre likely t see writers describing each ther and their wrk with such wrds as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they nce did, “tiresme”. An editr fr BuzzFeed, a news site, even annunced that its bks sectin wuld nt d negative bk reviews at all. This was wnderful news fr writers everywhere. It was nt such gd news fr readers.
The best bad reviews are scalpel (手术刀) jbs, bserves the British critic Adam Mars-Jnes,“ because if it’s nt precise, it’s nt ging t wrk.” One f the finest was used by Gerge Elit n Charltte Brnte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I wish,” Elit wrte.“ the characters wuld talk a little less like the heres and herines f plice reprts.” Mdem reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All t ften reviews are full f filler wrds: “darkly funny”, “deep thinking”. Many f these imply the wrd “bring”, which is in effect frbidden n literary pages.
The Internet is ne reasn fr this sftening. It has changed bth the ecnmics f criticism(newspapers have fewer bk pages, s editrs tend t fill them with the bks yu shuld read, nt the nes yu shuld nt) and the advisability f it. The Internet has als helped decrease annymity (匿名). Once, mst reviews were annymus. Tday, mst reviewers are nt nly named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ag, critics were “encuraged t really have a g at peple”, nw peple are ‘terrified f giving public criticism’’.
There have been attempts t bring back sharp criticism. In 2012 an award called the “Hatchet Jb f the Year” was launched by tw critics as a “missin against bredm and lazy thinking”. It ran fr three years. Fleur Macdnald, ne f its c-funders, thinks that “the literary scene prbably needs it mre than ver nw”, but that it struggled t get spnsrship since “bad bk review s can cause disagreements”.
8. What is the feature f bk review s nwadays?
A. They are getting brilliant.B. They are very friendly t readers.
C. They hardly ffer sharp criticism.D. They shw n respect fr writers’ feelings.
9. What des the authr feel at Elit’s review f “Jane Eyre”?
A. Exact and effective.B. Beautiful and talkative.
C. Thughtful and funny.D. Unfriendly and uncertain.
10. Hw is paragraph 3 mainly develped?
A. By listing figures.B. By making cmparisns.
C. By prviding examples.D. By making classificatins.
11. What can we learn abut the “Hatchet Jb f the Year”?
A. It inspired many critics.B. It became an instant hit.
C. It met with challenges.D. It has been running fr years.
D
Can a machine predict the sng f the summer? Can it remve frgettable flps (失败之作)? If s, such a technlgy culd reduce music prductin csts and even make judges n televisin talent shws utdated-but after decades f “hit sng science” research, predicting a successful sng is still mre f an art than a science.
Nw researchers at Claremnt Graduate University say they’ve fund a way t use artificial intelligence t predict the next chart-tpping sng. The team tracked hw participants respnded as they listened t music. A machine-learning mdel trained n the data was then able t determine whether a sng was a hit r a flp with 97 percent accuracy.
Traditinally, music industry experts lking t predict the next hit have relied n large databases t analyze the lyrical and acustic (原音的) aspects f hit sngs. But this methd has perfrmed nly slightly better than a randm cin tss (投掷). Fr example, Hda Khalil, a data scientist. and her wrkmates have analyzed data frm mre than 600,000 sngs and fund n significant cnnectins between varius acustic features and a tune’s cmmercial ppularity.
Rather than fcusing n a sng’s qualities, the Claremnt team sught t explre hw humans respnd t music. “Sngs are designed t create an emtinal experience fr peple, and thse emtins cme frm the brain, ”says Paul Zak, senir authr f the new study.
Previus attempts t use brain scans t predict hit sngs had limited success. Instead f directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensrs that mnitr changes in their heart bld flw, similar t the way traditinal smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened t 24 sngs ranging frm the hit “Dance Mnkey” t the cmmercial flp “Dekari”. Their data were then fed thrugh the cmmercial platfrm Immersin Neurscience (沉浸式神经科学), c-funded by Zak. An AI mdel trained n these immersin signals predicted hit sngs with high accuracy, the researchers reprted. Hwever, nt everyne is cnvinced. “The study depends n the neurphysilgical measure f immersin, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Kelsch, a neurscientist at the University f Bergen in Nrway.
12. What is the pssible result f the predicting technlgy?
A. The big rise in music prductin csts.B. The dramatic decrease in hit sngs.
C. The declining ppularity f talent shws.D. The unemplyment f TV prgram judges.
13. What can we say abut the traditinal predicting methd?
A. It invlves little analysis.B. It presents lw accuracy.
C. It was inspired by cin tssing.D. It was applied t cmpsing sngs.
14. Hw was the new study cnducted?
A. By inviting participants t finish questinnaires.B. By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C. By scannıng participants’ brain activities.D. By tracing participants’ heart bld flw.
15. What is Stefan Kelsch’s attitude twards the research?
A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Favrable.D. Disapprving.

Tday, pen bk-review pages, and yu are mre likely t see writers describing each ther and their wrk with such wrds as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they nce did, “tiresme”. An editr fr BuzzFeed, a news site, even annunced that its bks sectin wuld nt d negative bk reviews at all. This was wnderful news fr writers everywhere. It was nt such gd news fr readers.
The best bad reviews are scalpel (手术刀) jbs, bserves the British critic Adam Mars-Jnes,“ because if it’s nt precise, it’s nt ging t wrk.” One f the finest was used by Gerge Elit n Charltte Brnte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I wish,” Elit wrte.“ the characters wuld talk a little less like the heres and herines f plice reprts.” Mdem reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All t ften reviews are full f filler wrds: “darkly funny”, “deep thinking”. Many f these imply the wrd “bring”, which is in effect frbidden n literary pages.
The Internet is ne reasn fr this sftening. It has changed bth the ecnmics f criticism(newspapers have fewer bk pages, s editrs tend t fill them with the bks yu shuld read, nt the nes yu shuld nt) and the advisability f it. The Internet has als helped decrease annymity (匿名). Once, mst reviews were annymus. Tday, mst reviewers are nt nly named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ag, critics were “encuraged t really have a g at peple”, nw peple are ‘terrified f giving public criticism’’.
There have been attempts t bring back sharp criticism. In 2012 an award called the “Hatchet Jb f the Year” was launched by tw critics as a “missin against bredm and lazy thinking”. It ran fr three years. Fleur Macdnald, ne f its c-funders, thinks that “the literary scene prbably needs it mre than ver nw”, but that it struggled t get spnsrship since “bad bk review s can cause disagreements”.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Tday, pen bk-review pages, and yu are mre likely t see writers describing each ther and their wrk with such wrds as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they nce did, “tiresme”. An editr fr BuzzFeed, a news site, even annunced that its bks sectin wuld nt d negative bk reviews at all. (如今，打开书评页面，你更有可能看到作家们用“才华横溢”和“见解深刻”这样的词来形容彼此和他们的作品，而不是像过去那样用“令人厌烦”。新闻网站BuzzFeed的一名编辑甚至宣布，它的图书版块根本不会刊登负面书评)”可知，现在书评的特点是很少提出尖锐的批评。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One f the finest was used by Gerge Elit n Charltte Brnte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I wish,” Elit wrte.“ the characters wuld talk a little less like the heres and herines f plice reprts.” Mdem reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All t ften reviews are full f filler wrds: “darkly funny”, “deep thinking”. Many f these imply the wrd “bring”, which is in effect frbidden n literary pages.(乔治·艾略特在夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》中使用了最好的一个。“我希望，”艾略特写道。“人物的谈吐会不那么像警察报告中的男女主角。”现代评论家很少能达到如此致命的美。评论往往充满了填充词：“黑色幽默”、“深思熟虑”。其中许多都暗示了“无聊”一词，而这个词在文学页面上是被禁止的。)”可知，作者认为艾略特对《简·爱》的评价准确有效。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The Internet is ne reasn fr this sftening. It has changed bth the ecnmics f criticism (newspapers have fewer bk pages, s editrs tend t fill them with the bks yu shuld read, nt the nes yu shuld nt) and the advisability f it. The Internet has als helped decrease annymity (匿名). Once, mst reviews were annymus. Tday, mst reviewers are nt nly named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ag, critics were “encuraged t really have a g at peple”, nw peple are ‘terrified f giving public criticism’’.(互联网是这种软化的原因之一。它既改变了评论的经济学（报纸的页数较少，因此编辑倾向于用你应该读的书填满它们，而不是你不应该读的书），也改变了评论的可取性。互联网也有助于减少匿名。以前，大多数评论都是匿名的。今天，大多数评论者不仅有名字，而且很容易被搜索到。30年前，批评家们“被鼓励去批评别人”，而现在，人们“害怕公开批评”)”可知，第三段通过比较以前和现在的评论展开。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fleur Macdnald, ne f its c-funders, thinks that “the literary scene prbably needs it mre than ver nw”, but that it struggled t get spnsrship since “bad bk review s can cause disagreements”.(它的创始人之一Fleur Macdnald认为“文学界可能比现在更需要它”，但由于“糟糕的书评会引起分歧”，它很难获得赞助。)”可知，Hatchet Jb f the Year遇到了挑战。故选C。
D
Can a machine predict the sng f the summer? Can it remve frgettable flps (失败之作)? If s, such a technlgy culd reduce music prductin csts and even make judges n televisin talent shws utdated-but after decades f “hit sng science” research, predicting a successful sng is still mre f an art than a science.
Nw researchers at Claremnt Graduate University say they’ve fund a way t use artificial intelligence t predict the next chart-tpping sng. The team tracked hw participants respnded as they listened t music. A machine-learning mdel trained n the data was then able t determine whether a sng was a hit r a flp with 97 percent accuracy.
Traditinally, music industry experts lking t predict the next hit have relied n large databases t analyze the lyrical and acustic (原音的) aspects f hit sngs. But this methd has perfrmed nly slightly better than a randm cin tss (投掷). Fr example, Hda Khalil, a data scientist. and her wrkmates have analyzed data frm mre than 600,000 sngs and fund n significant cnnectins between varius acustic features and a tune’s cmmercial ppularity.
Rather than fcusing n a sng’s qualities, the Claremnt team sught t explre hw humans respnd t music. “Sngs are designed t create an emtinal experience fr peple, and thse emtins cme frm the brain, ”says Paul Zak, senir authr f the new study.
Previus attempts t use brain scans t predict hit sngs had limited success. Instead f directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensrs that mnitr changes in their heart bld flw, similar t the way traditinal smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened t 24 sngs ranging frm the hit “Dance Mnkey” t the cmmercial flp “Dekari”. Their data were then fed thrugh the cmmercial platfrm Immersin Neurscience (沉浸式神经科学), c-funded by Zak. An AI mdel trained n these immersin signals predicted hit sngs with high accuracy, the researchers reprted. Hwever, nt everyne is cnvinced. “The study depends n the neurphysilgical measure f immersin, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Kelsch, a neurscientist at the University f Bergen in Nrway.
12. What is the pssible result f the predicting technlgy?
A. The big rise in music prductin csts.B. The dramatic decrease in hit sngs.
C. The declining ppularity f talent shws.D. The unemplyment f TV prgram judges.
13. What can we say abut the traditinal predicting methd?
A. It invlves little analysis.B. It presents lw accuracy.
C. It was inspired by cin tssing.D. It was applied t cmpsing sngs.
14. Hw was the new study cnducted?
A. By inviting participants t finish questinnaires.B. By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C. By scannıng participants’ brain activities.D. By tracing participants’ heart bld flw.
15. What is Stefan Kelsch’s attitude twards the research?
A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Favrable.D. Disapprving.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段“If s, such a technlgy culd reduce music prductin csts and even make judges n televisin talent shws utdated-but after decades f “hit sng science” research, predicting a successful sng is still mre f an art than a science.(如果是这样的话，这样的技术可以降低音乐制作成本，甚至使电视选秀节目的评委过时——但是经过几十年的“热门歌曲科学”研究，预测一首成功的歌曲仍然是一门艺术，而不是一门科学)”可知，预测技术的可能结果是电视节目评委的失业。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Traditinally, music industry experts lking t predict the next hit have relied n large databases t analyze the lyrical and acustic (原音的) aspects f hit sngs. But this methd has perfrmed nly slightly better than a randm cin tss (投掷).(传统上，音乐行业专家希望预测下一个热门歌曲，他们依靠大型数据库来分析热门歌曲的抒情和声学方面。但这种方法只比随机抛硬币好一点点)”可知，传统的预测方法准确率低。故选B。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead f directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensrs that mnitr changes in their heart bld flw, similar t the way traditinal smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.(Zak的团队没有直接测量大脑，而是为33名参与者配备了可穿戴传感器，以监测他们心脏血流的变化，类似于传统的智能手表和健身追踪器检测心率的方式)”可知，这项新研究通过追踪参与者的心脏血流进行。故选D。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study depends n the neurphysilgical measure f immersin, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Kelsch, a neurscientist at the University f Bergen in Nrway.( 挪威卑尔根大学的神经科学家Stefan Kelsch说：“这项研究依赖于浸泡的神经生理学测量，但这种测量需要进一步的科学研究。”)”可知，Stefan Kelsch对这项研究的态度是客观的。故选A。

Tday, pen bk-review pages, and yu are mre likely t see writers describing each ther and their wrk with such wrds as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they nce did, “tiresme”. An editr fr BuzzFeed, a news site, even annunced that its bks sectin wuld nt d negative bk reviews at all. This was wnderful news fr writers everywhere. It was nt such gd news fr readers.
The best bad reviews are scalpel (手术刀) jbs, bserves the British critic Adam Mars-Jnes,“ because if it’s nt precise, it’s nt ging t wrk.” One f the finest was used by Gerge Elit n Charltte Brnte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I wish,” Elit wrte.“ the characters wuld talk a little less like the heres and herines f plice reprts.” Mdem reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All t ften reviews are full f filler wrds: “darkly funny”, “deep thinking”. Many f these imply the wrd “bring”, which is in effect frbidden n literary pages.
The Internet is ne reasn fr this sftening. It has changed bth the ecnmics f criticism(newspapers have fewer bk pages, s editrs tend t fill them with the bks yu shuld read, nt the nes yu shuld nt) and the advisability f it. The Internet has als helped decrease annymity (匿名). Once, mst reviews were annymus. Tday, mst reviewers are nt nly named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ag, critics were “encuraged t really have a g at peple”, nw peple are ‘terrified f giving public criticism’’.
There have been attempts t bring back sharp criticism. In 2012 an award called the “Hatchet Jb f the Year” was launched by tw critics as a “missin against bredm and lazy thinking”. It ran fr three years. Fleur Macdnald, ne f its c-funders, thinks that “the literary scene prbably needs it mre than ver nw”, but that it struggled t get spnsrship since “bad bk review s can cause disagreements”.
8. What is the feature f bk review s nwadays?
A. They are getting brilliant.B. They are very friendly t readers.
C. They hardly ffer sharp criticism.D. They shw n respect fr writers’ feelings.
9. What des the authr feel at Elit’s review f “Jane Eyre”?
A. Exact and effective.B. Beautiful and talkative.
C. Thughtful and funny.D. Unfriendly and uncertain.
10. Hw is paragraph 3 mainly develped?
A. By listing figures.B. By making cmparisns.
C. By prviding examples.D. By making classificatins.
11. What can we learn abut the “Hatchet Jb f the Year”?
A. It inspired many critics.B. It became an instant hit.
C. It met with challenges.D. It has been running fr years.

Can a machine predict the sng f the summer? Can it remve frgettable flps (失败之作)? If s, such a technlgy culd reduce music prductin csts and even make judges n televisin talent shws utdated-but after decades f “hit sng science” research, predicting a successful sng is still mre f an art than a science.
Nw researchers at Claremnt Graduate University say they’ve fund a way t use artificial intelligence t predict the next chart-tpping sng. The team tracked hw participants respnded as they listened t music. A machine-learning mdel trained n the data was then able t determine whether a sng was a hit r a flp with 97 percent accuracy.
Traditinally, music industry experts lking t predict the next hit have relied n large databases t analyze the lyrical and acustic (原音的) aspects f hit sngs. But this methd has perfrmed nly slightly better than a randm cin tss (投掷). Fr example, Hda Khalil, a data scientist. and her wrkmates have analyzed data frm mre than 600,000 sngs and fund n significant cnnectins between varius acustic features and a tune’s cmmercial ppularity.
Rather than fcusing n a sng’s qualities, the Claremnt team sught t explre hw humans respnd t music. “Sngs are designed t create an emtinal experience fr peple, and thse emtins cme frm the brain, ”says Paul Zak, senir authr f the new study.
Previus attempts t use brain scans t predict hit sngs had limited success. Instead f directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensrs that mnitr changes in their heart bld flw, similar t the way traditinal smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened t 24 sngs ranging frm the hit “Dance Mnkey” t the cmmercial flp “Dekari”. Their data were then fed thrugh the cmmercial platfrm Immersin Neurscience (沉浸式神经科学), c-funded by Zak. An AI mdel trained n these immersin signals predicted hit sngs with high accuracy, the researchers reprted. Hwever, nt everyne is cnvinced. “The study depends n the neurphysilgical measure f immersin, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Kelsch, a neurscientist at the University f Bergen in Nrway.
12. What is the pssible result f the predicting technlgy?
A. The big rise in music prductin csts.B. The dramatic decrease in hit sngs.
C. The declining ppularity f talent shws.D. The unemplyment f TV prgram judges.
13. What can we say abut the traditinal predicting methd?
A. It invlves little analysis.B. It presents lw accuracy.
C. It was inspired by cin tssing.D. It was applied t cmpsing sngs.
14. Hw was the new study cnducted?
A. By inviting participants t finish questinnaires.B. By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C. By scannıng participants’ brain activities.D. By tracing participants’ heart bld flw.
15. What is Stefan Kelsch’s attitude twards the research?
A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Favrable.D. Disapprving.

She has let the gats clear sme f her mm’s land in a safe and ec-friendly manner, inspecting their prgress and timing, t help her handle inquiries frm peple thrughut the regin abut clearing their prperties.(今年秋天，Zltkwski养了五只山羊，她一直在让这些山羊适应新环境。她让山羊以安全和环保的方式清理了她妈妈的一些土地，检查了它们的进展和时间，以帮助她处理来自整个地区的人们关于清理他们的土地的询问。)”和第五段“With tw years left f high schl, Zltkwski is grwing her landscaping business slwly, balancing the gats with seeing her friends and attending schl activities.(在高中还剩两年的时候，Zltkwski 正在慢慢发展她的园林绿化业务，在与朋友见面和参加学校活动之间保持平衡。)”可知，文章讲述高中女生Zltkwski养了五只山羊，后来成立了Grazy Gat Girls，帮助妈妈和邻里清理一些土地杂草的故事。所以C项Zltkwski: a schlgirl-turned-landscaper(Zltkwski：一个女学生变成了园林设计师)符合语境。故选C项。

Tday, pen bk-review pages, and yu are mre likely t see writers describing each ther and their wrk with such wrds as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they nce did, “tiresme”. An editr fr BuzzFeed, a news site, even annunced that its bks sectin wuld nt d negative bk reviews at all. This was wnderful news fr writers everywhere. It was nt such gd news fr readers.
The best bad reviews are scalpel (手术刀) jbs, bserves the British critic Adam Mars-Jnes,“ because if it’s nt precise, it’s nt ging t wrk.” One f the finest was used by Gerge Elit n Charltte Brnte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I wish,” Elit wrte.“ the characters wuld talk a little less like the heres and herines f plice reprts.” Mdem reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All t ften reviews are full f filler wrds: “darkly funny”, “deep thinking”. Many f these imply the wrd “bring”, which is in effect frbidden n literary pages.
The Internet is ne reasn fr this sftening. It has changed bth the ecnmics f criticism(newspapers have fewer bk pages, s editrs tend t fill them with the bks yu shuld read, nt the nes yu shuld nt) and the advisability f it. The Internet has als helped decrease annymity (匿名). Once, mst reviews were annymus. Tday, mst reviewers are nt nly named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ag, critics were “encuraged t really have a g at peple”, nw peple are ‘terrified f giving public criticism’’.
There have been attempts t bring back sharp criticism. In 2012 an award called the “Hatchet Jb f the Year” was launched by tw critics as a “missin against bredm and lazy thinking”. It ran fr three years. Fleur Macdnald, ne f its c-funders, thinks that “the literary scene prbably needs it mre than ver nw”, but that it struggled t get spnsrship since “bad bk review s can cause disagreements”.
8. What is the feature f bk review s nwadays?
A. They are getting brilliant.B. They are very friendly t readers.
C. They hardly ffer sharp criticism.D. They shw n respect fr writers’ feelings.
9. What des the authr feel at Elit’s review f “Jane Eyre”?
A. Exact and effective.B. Beautiful and talkative.
C. Thughtful and funny.D. Unfriendly and uncertain.
10. Hw is paragraph 3 mainly develped?
A. By listing figures.B. By making cmparisns.
C. By prviding examples.D. By making classificatins.
11. What can we learn abut the “Hatchet Jb f the Year”?
A. It inspired many critics.B. It became an instant hit.
C. It met with challenges.D. It has been running fr years.

推理判断题。根据第一段“Tday, pen bk-review pages, and yu are mre likely t see writers describing each ther and their wrk with such wrds as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they nce did, “tiresme”. An editr fr BuzzFeed, a news site, even annunced that its bks sectin wuld nt d negative bk reviews at all. (如今，打开书评页面，你更有可能看到作家们用“才华横溢”和“见解深刻”这样的词来形容彼此和他们的作品，而不是像过去那样用“令人厌烦”。新闻网站BuzzFeed的一名编辑甚至宣布，它的图书版块根本不会刊登负面书评)”可知，现在书评的特点是很少提出尖锐的批评。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One f the finest was used by Gerge Elit n Charltte Brnte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I wish,” Elit wrte.“ the characters wuld talk a little less like the heres and herines f plice reprts.” Mdem reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All t ften reviews are full f filler wrds: “darkly funny”, “deep thinking”. Many f these imply the wrd “bring”, which is in effect frbidden n literary pages.(乔治·艾略特在夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》中使用了最好的一个。“我希望，”艾略特写道。“人物的谈吐会不那么像警察报告中的男女主角。”现代评论家很少能达到如此致命的美。评论往往充满了填充词：“黑色幽默”、“深思熟虑”。其中许多都暗示了“无聊”一词，而这个词在文学页面上是被禁止的。)”可知，作者认为艾略特对《简·爱》的评价准确有效。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The Internet is ne reasn fr this sftening. It has changed bth the ecnmics f criticism (newspapers have fewer bk pages, s editrs tend t fill them with the bks yu shuld read, nt the nes yu shuld nt) and the advisability f it. The Internet has als helped decrease annymity (匿名). Once, mst reviews were annymus. Tday, mst reviewers are nt nly named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ag, critics were “encuraged t really have a g at peple”, nw peple are ‘terrified f giving public criticism’’.(互联网是这种软化的原因之一。它既改变了评论的经济学（报纸的页数较少，因此编辑倾向于用你应该读的书填满它们，而不是你不应该读的书），也改变了评论的可取性。互联网也有助于减少匿名。以前，大多数评论都是匿名的。今天，大多数评论者不仅有名字，而且很容易被搜索到。30年前，批评家们“被鼓励去批评别人”，而现在，人们“害怕公开批评”)”可知，第三段通过比较以前和现在的评论展开。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fleur Macdnald, ne f its c-funders, thinks that “the literary scene prbably needs it mre than ver nw”, but that it struggled t get spnsrship since “bad bk review s can cause disagreements”.(它的创始人之一Fleur Macdnald认为“文学界可能比现在更需要它”，但由于“糟糕的书评会引起分歧”，它很难获得赞助。)”可知，Hatchet Jb f the Year遇到了挑战。故选C。
D
Can a machine predict the sng f the summer? Can it remve frgettable flps (失败之作)? If s, such a technlgy culd reduce music prductin csts and even make judges n televisin talent shws utdated-but after decades f “hit sng science” research, predicting a successful sng is still mre f an art than a science.
Nw researchers at Claremnt Graduate University say they’ve fund a way t use artificial intelligence t predict the next chart-tpping sng. The team tracked hw participants respnded as they listened t music. A machine-learning mdel trained n the data was then able t determine whether a sng was a hit r a flp with 97 percent accuracy.
Traditinally, music industry experts lking t predict the next hit have relied n large databases t analyze the lyrical and acustic (原音的) aspects f hit sngs. But this methd has perfrmed nly slightly better than a randm cin tss (投掷). Fr example, Hda Khalil, a data scientist. and her wrkmates have analyzed data frm mre than 600,000 sngs and fund n significant cnnectins between varius acustic features and a tune’s cmmercial ppularity.
Rather than fcusing n a sng’s qualities, the Claremnt team sught t explre hw humans respnd t music. “Sngs are designed t create an emtinal experience fr peple, and thse emtins cme frm the brain, ”says Paul Zak, senir authr f the new study.
Previus attempts t use brain scans t predict hit sngs had limited success. Instead f directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensrs that mnitr changes in their heart bld flw, similar t the way traditinal smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened t 24 sngs ranging frm the hit “Dance Mnkey” t the cmmercial flp “Dekari”. Their data were then fed thrugh the cmmercial platfrm Immersin Neurscience (沉浸式神经科学), c-funded by Zak. An AI mdel trained n these immersin signals predicted hit sngs with high accuracy, the researchers reprted. Hwever, nt everyne is cnvinced. “The study depends n the neurphysilgical measure f immersin, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Kelsch, a neurscientist at the University f Bergen in Nrway.
12. What is the pssible result f the predicting technlgy?
A. The big rise in music prductin csts.B. The dramatic decrease in hit sngs.
C. The declining ppularity f talent shws.D. The unemplyment f TV prgram judges.
13. What can we say abut the traditinal predicting methd?
A. It invlves little analysis.B. It presents lw accuracy.
C. It was inspired by cin tssing.D. It was applied t cmpsing sngs.
14. Hw was the new study cnducted?
A. By inviting participants t finish questinnaires.B. By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C. By scannıng participants’ brain activities.D. By tracing participants’ heart bld flw.
15. What is Stefan Kelsch’s attitude twards the research?
A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Favrable.D. Disapprving.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项可以预测歌曲是否成功的技术发明了，解释了其工作原理以及人们对此的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If s, such a technlgy culd reduce music prductin csts and even make judges n televisin talent shws utdated-but after decades f “hit sng science” research, predicting a successful sng is still mre f an art than a science.(如果是这样的话，这样的技术可以降低音乐制作成本，甚至使电视选秀节目的评委过时——但是经过几十年的“热门歌曲科学”研究，预测一首成功的歌曲仍然是一门艺术，而不是一门科学)”可知，预测技术的可能结果是电视节目评委的失业。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Traditinally, music industry experts lking t predict the next hit have relied n large databases t analyze the lyrical and acustic (原音的) aspects f hit sngs. But this methd has perfrmed nly slightly better than a randm cin tss (投掷).(传统上，音乐行业专家希望预测下一个热门歌曲，他们依靠大型数据库来分析热门歌曲的抒情和声学方面。但这种方法只比随机抛硬币好一点点)”可知，传统的预测方法准确率低。故选B。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead f directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensrs that mnitr changes in their heart bld flw, similar t the way traditinal smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.(Zak的团队没有直接测量大脑，而是为33名参与者配备了可穿戴传感器，以监测他们心脏血流的变化，类似于传统的智能手表和健身追踪器检测心率的方式)”可知，这项新研究通过追踪参与者的心脏血流进行。故选D。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study depends n the neurphysilgical measure f immersin, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Kelsch, a neurscientist at the University f Bergen in Nrway.( 挪威卑尔根大学的神经科学家Stefan Kelsch说：“这项研究依赖于浸泡的神经生理学测量，但这种测量需要进一步的科学研究。”)”可知，Stefan Kelsch对这项研究的态度是客观的。故选A。
