The world’s oldest musical instruments
date back over 40, 000 years. Throughout
history, people have made music to enjoy
themselves and express their feelings.
Nowadays, artificial intelligence is being
increasingly used to write music. AI creates
music by studying thousands of songs, finding
patterns, and putting sounds together in new
ways, and some AI-made music has become
very popular online.
However, people hold different opinions
on AI music.
Some believe AI music is not creative. It
costs less than hiring real musicians and may
make many musicians lose their jobs. Besides,
AI music takes materials from existing songs,
so it is not truly original. Unlike human
musicians who put their feelings and life
experiences into music, AI cannot build a real
emotional connection with listeners.
Others argue that AI can actually
encourage creativity. It can act as a useful tool
to inspire ideas and save music producers time.
AI will not take the place of humans, but work
with them. It can also create new and special
kinds of music that people might never think
of. In the end, what matters most is whether
people enjoy the music, not who or what
creates it.

解析：
【分析】
本题分为任务一（阅读填表）和任务二（阅读理解）。任务一的1-5题需根据短文内容，结合语境和固定搭配填写恰当单词，解题时要定位原文对应信息；第6题为开放性问题，需结合AI音乐的作用合理作答，词数不少于20。任务二为主旨大意题，需通读全文归纳核心观点。
【解析】
任务一：
1. 定位原文第一段“Throughout history, people have made music...”，此处填history，构成“long history”（悠久的历史），符合语境。
2. 定位原文第二段“people hold different opinions on AI music”，填discussion/debate，意为AI音乐引发了关于创造力的讨论，符合文意。
3. 定位原文第三段“make many musicians lose their jobs”，填work/jobs，构成“take work/jobs from...”（夺走……的工作），匹配原文逻辑。
4. 定位原文第三段“it is not truly original”及固定搭配“keep...from doing sth.”，填stop/prevent/keep，意为阻止它具备创造力，符合语境。
5. 定位原文第四段“pushes music beyond human limits”，填beyond，构成“beyond human limits”（超越人类的局限），匹配原文表述。
6. 开放性问题，结合文章中AI作为创作工具、激发新想法等内容，合理作答即可，如示例答案。
任务二：
通读全文，文章先介绍AI音乐的现状，再分别阐述反对和支持AI音乐的两种不同观点，核心是人们对AI音乐的不同看法，因此选B。
