Park and his colleagues collected 900 piano positions by 19 posers spanning the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, from 1700 to 1910. Then they used that mathematical quality to their advantage by dividing each position into what they called “code words,” in other words, a chord(和弦). (68) ____________________The poser with top marks for originality? Rachmaninoff. But when the researchers looked at those chord transitions across all 19 posers, it was Beethoven who was most heavily borrowed from meaning. (69) ____________________ However, the study es with a couple of limitations. Again, the researchers only considered piano positions in this work—not orchestral works. And by only studying chord transitions, their conclusions wouldn’t capture artists who were influential in other ways. It’s well understood that Mozart’s contribution to music es from the musical forms that he devised. (70) ____________________As for Park, the results convinced him he has some listening to do. “I like Rachmaninoff’s music but I have to confess, I have listened to Beethoven way more than Rachmaninoff. So after this work came out, I ended up buying his whole plete collection from Amazon. I’m waiting for this collection to arrive.” It seems that Park turned a minor interest into a major mitment — in a key way. IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage.

Filter(過(guò)濾) BubblesIn our digital age, whether we realize it or not, we’re all being trapped in “filter bubbles”— invisible, mental cages built from our prejudices and desire for fort. We create this trap by doing things like exposing ourselves to politicallybiased (有偏見(jiàn)的)news and entertainment or surrounding ourselves with likeminded friends. Digital algorithms(算法)enhance our problem by learning what we like and filling our social media with opinion— supporting content. The result is a personalized daily environment that filters out contrary points of view. Media algorithms are intensifying our tendency to selfisolate by strengthening the false view that our opinions are obviously true and moral. We bee fooled into believing that our opinions about plex issues are unquestionable. Meanwhile, the filter bubbles of those who disagree with us mislead them in the same way. This partial view of reality weakens our thinking, strains(傷害)our relationships and divides our societies. How can two people have a respectful, openminded discussion when they both believe that only a stupid or dishonest person would disagree with them? To get along with family, friends and fellow citizens, we must burst our filter bubbles. We can do this by cultivating meaningful relationships with people who think differently from us. This lets us experience the reality that people who believe “bad” things can be just as good and as intelligent as we are. We can also receive balanced information by consuming news and entertainment from across the political and ideological scale. Determining right from wrong is plicated. Living outside of our filter bubbles is less fortable and takes effort, but the personal, relational and societal benefits are rich. V.
