将要进行的表演感到担心。故选C项。【5题】词义猜测题。根据后文“theentirecrowdwasimpressedbyhisamazingvoice.Asheendedhissong,theaudienceandthejudgesgavehimabigroundofapplause.(……整个人群都被他惊人的声音所打动。当他结束他的歌曲时，观众和评委给了他热烈的掌声。)”可知，他的演唱将观众打动，观众和评委给他以热烈的掌声，由此推知，他的表演应该是充满激情和魅力的，因此可推知，使用“setthestageonfire”应是表明他的表演充满激情和魅力，就像在舞台上放了一把火，燃起了观众的共鸣。故选B项。【6题】推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“TheotherjudgescalledMalakai’sperformance‘perfect’and‘heavenly’.Hisangelicvoiceblewtheaudienceawayandthejudgesthankedtheteenforcomingtotheshow.(其他评委称马拉凯的表现“完美”、“天籁”。他天使般的声音震撼了观众，评委们也感谢了这位少年的到来。)”以及第五段内容“I’matrainedsinger,andamusicteacherbyprofession,andsangthissongasayoungperformermyself.IcansaywithabsolutecertaintythisisthebestI’veeverheardthissongsung,withpropertechniqueandproperbreathing.Thisboyisagiftedsinger...(我是一名训练有素的歌手，也是一名音乐教师，我自己年轻时就唱了这首歌。我可以绝对肯定地说，这是我听过这首歌唱得最好的一次，技巧和呼吸都很到位。这个男孩是一个有天赋的歌手……)”可知，他的表演不仅被评委认为是“完美的，天籁的”，他的声音也震撼了观众，而且还受到了专业人士的肯定。由此可推知，他有杰出的才能，得到了专业人士和公众的认可。故选B项。【7题】主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章第一段内容“In2023,‘Britain’sGotTalent’(BGT)uncoveredamusicalgeniusnamedMalakaiBayohwhoimpressedtheaudiencewithperfecthigh-notesinging.(2023年，《英国达人秀》发掘了一位名叫MalakaiBayoh的音乐天才，他以完美的高音演唱给观众留下了深刻印象。)”揭示了文章的主要内容，即，文章主要讲述了一个有着完美高音的音乐天才MalakaiBayoh的发掘。故选A项。【答案】8.D9.A10.A11.D【8题】细节理解题。根据第二段“AstudypublishedinCurrentBiologyfindsthatchildrenandadultshavedifferentconcentrationsofakeybrainmessengercalledgamma-aminobutyricacid,orGABA.Thismessengerslowsdownthebrainbyblockingspecificsignalsinthebody’scentralnervoussystem.Italsoproducesacalmingeffectandisthoughttoplayamajorroleincontrollingtheoveractivityofnervecellsassociatedwithanxiety,stressandfear.Allthesecontributetothelearningofnewthings.(发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项研究发现，儿童和成人大脑中一种名为γ-氨基丁酸（GABA）的关键信使的浓度不同。这种信使通过阻断身体中枢神经系统中的特定信号来减慢大脑的速度。它还具有镇静作用，被认为在控制与焦虑、压力和恐惧相关的神经细胞的过度活动方面发挥着重要作用。所有这些都有助于学习新事物)”可知，GABA的功能是提高学习新事物的效率。故选D。【9题】细节理解题。根据第四段“Inaddition,childrenparticipantskeptthatGABAincreaseforhoursaftertrainingended,whiletheconcentrationsofGABAremainedthesameintheadultsstudied.(此外，儿童参与者在训练结束后的几个小时内GABA的浓度都在增加，而成人参与者的GABA浓度则保持不变)”可知，参加视力测试的孩子训练后GABA浓度持续升高。故选A。【10题】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Insubsequentbehavioralexperiments,wefoundthatchildrenindeedlearnmoreitemswithinagivenperiodoftimethanadults.(在随后的行为实验中，我们发现孩子们在一段时间内确实比成年人学到了更多的东西)”可知，研究人员通过比较参与者的反应进行研究。故选A。【11题】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thefindingsmayalsochangeneuro-scientists’conceptionofbrainmaturityinchildren.“Althoughchildren’sbrainsarenotyetfullymatureandmanyoftheirbehavioralandcognitivefunctionsarenotasefficientasinadults,childrenarenot,ingeneral,surpassedintheirlearningabilitiesbyadults,”saidstudyco-authorTakeoWatanabe.(这一发现也可能改变神经科学家对儿童大脑成熟度的看法。研究报告的合著者TakeoWatanabe说：“虽然儿童的大脑还没有完全成熟，他们的许多行为和认知功能还没有成年人那么有效，但总的来说，儿童的学习能力并没有被成年人超越。”)”可知，TakeoWatanabe在最后一段想说儿童大脑的成熟度并不影响他们的学习能力。故选D。【答案】12.C13.B14.D15.A【12题】主旨大意题。根据第二段“Soraissaidtobesuperiortomanyotherexistingmodelswithsimilarfunctions.TheAImodelcancreatevideosatsuitableaspectratios(屏幕高宽比)fordifferentdevices.Italsoletsusersquicklytestoutcontentinlowerqualitybeforemakingthehigh-qualityversion,whichhelpsspeedupoutputaccordingtotheuser’srequests.(据说Sora比许多具有类似功能的其他现有型号优越。人工智能模型可以为不同的设备创建合适的长宽比视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试低质量的内容，这有助于根据用户的要求加快输出速度)”以及第三段“Asidefromthis,itsabilitytopresentvideosinarealisticandsmoothmannerisastonishing.(除此之外，它以逼真和流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊讶)”可知，这两段主要讲述Sora的能力。故选C。【13题】推理判断题。根据第五段“However,thecurrentmodelisn’tperfect.Itmayhavetroubleaccuratelyshowinghowthingsmoveinacomplicatedsceneandmightnotgethowoneactionleadstoanother.(然而，目前的模式并不完美。它可能无法准确地显示复杂场景中的事物如何移动，也可能无法理解一个动作如何导致另一个动作)”以及接下来的例子“Forexample,ifsomeoneeatspartofacookieinaSora-madevideo,thecookiemightnotlooklikeit’sbeenbitteninto.Themodelmightmixupdirectionslikeleftandright,andfindithardtodescribeeventsintherightorder.(例如，如果有人在Sora制作的视频中吃了一部分饼干，饼干可能看起来不像被咬过。模型可能会混淆方向，如左和右，并发现很难以正确的顺序描述事件)”可推断，下文的例子是为了说明Sora的局限性。故选B。【14题】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Soraisstillinthetestingstageofdevelopment.OpenAIisnowinvitingnetworksecurityprofessionalstomakerandomattacksonSora’ssystem,aimingtotestthemodel’spossibleweaknessesandrisks.Sorahasalsobeenopentosomevisualartists,designersandfilmmakers.TheirfeedbackwillassistOpenAIinenhancingthemodeltobetterservecreativeprofessionals.(Sora仍处于测试开发阶段。OpenAI现在正在邀请网络安全专家对Sora的系统进行随机攻击，旨在测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将有助于OpenAI改进模型，更好地为创意专业人士服务)”可知，Sora正在进行测试和改进。故选D。【15题】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificialintelligence(AI)modelshavelongsurpassedjustcreatingtextresponsesandimages.Now,withonlyonesentence,OpenAI’slatesttext-to-videomodel,Sora,canturnyourwordsintovideowithgoodvisualqualitywhilefaithfullyfollo
