Every year, millions of people head to London's Trafalgar Square to see Nelson's

Column, and the four lion statues that “guard” it. And last month, during the London

Design Festival, a bright red lion sculpture was added to the collection.

But this was more than just a statue: It had a large open mouth, with an LED screen

inside it. At the same time, passersby could type in random words on a screen close to

the lion, which were used to produce an AI-created poem. The most interesting part of

the poems lies in their randomness, as the words that people choose to enter include

many things, such as the time, the weather and their mood. In the daytime, the finished

poem appeared on the LED screen, but at night, it was projected ( 投射) onto the lion's

body and the famous Nelson’s Column, in a 1ovely light display.

Es Devlin, the sculpture's creator, was inspired by the history behind the four

historic lion statues. Edwin Landseer, the designer of the lions, wanted them to look

much more animạted, but Queen Vietoria refused his plan. This made Devlin wonder,

"What if we could give a lion a poetic voice?" According to Devlin, althọugh England

has seen many poems about national identity in recent years, these works have been

lacking imagination. "I wanted to make a piece that was poetic and collective" he told

BBC News.

After standing for almost 180 years, the purpose of Trafalgar Square has changed

over the years. But thanks to the high-tech lion and its poetry, the square is standing the

test of time.

24．Why was the red lion more than just a statue?

A．It could produce an AI-created poem.

B．It had a larger mouth than the others.

C．It had an LED screen inside it.

D．Poems were projected onto the lion's body.

25．Which of the following best explains "randomness" underlined in Paragraph2?

A．Lacking styles. B．Not having regular patterns.

C．Being special. D．Attraction to readers.

26 ．What does Devlin think of poems about national identity in England in recent

years?

A．They are creative. B．They are not popular.

C．They are not imaginative. D．They are poetic and collective.

27．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Es Devlin's New Creation. B．The London Design Festival.

C．A Big Event in Trafalgar Square. D．The red lion in Trafalgar Square.

Music instruction appears to accelerate brain development in children, particularly

in the areas of the brain responsible for processing sound, language development,

speech perception ( 感知 ) and reading skills, according to early results of a five-year

study.

The Brain and Creativity Institute (BCI) began the study to know the influence of

music instruction on children’s brain development. These early study results prove the

necessity of music education at a time when many schools have reduced music and arts

programs.

“We are broadly interested in the influence of music training on brain development

of children,” said Assal Habibi, the study’s lead author and a senior research associate at

the BCI. “These results reflect that children with music training, compared with the two

other comparison groups, were more accurate in processing sound.”

For this study, the scientists were monitoring brain development and behavior in a

group of 37 children from neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Thirteen of the children, at 6

or 7 years old, began to be instructed to learn music through the Youth Orchestra Los

Angeles program. The children learned to play instruments, such as the violin, in

groups, and they practiced up to seven hours a week. The scientists were comparing the

potential musicians with children of the same age in the next two groups: 11 children in

a soccer program, and 13 children who hardly took part in any specific after-school

programs. The scientists were using several tools to monitor changes in them as they

grew.

Within years of the study, the scientists found the auditory( 听觉的 )systems of

children in the music program were developing faster in them than in the other children.

The slight adjustment of their auditory pathway could accelerate their development of

language and reading, as well as other abilities—a potential influence which the

scientists are continuing to study.

28．How do the early study results help with school education?

A．They raise students’ interest in music and arts programs.

B．They encourage many schools to increase language programs.

C．They provide the evidence of the benefits of music education.

D．They offer specific approaches to conducting music training.

29．What can we know about the first group of children in the study?

A．They played soccer after school.

B．They received music instruction.

C．They played the violin separately.

D．They organized after-school programs.

30．What will the scientists go on exploring?

A．The potential ways to help children speak fluently.

B．How children develop their abilities in every aspect.

C．When children should join much more music programs.

D．The effect of music training on children’s development.

31．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Children’s brain develops faster with music training.

B．Children learn language easily after listening to music.

C．A science study on children’s brain turns out successful.

D．Music training can help children to hear others clearly.
