2. 句中时间标志为last year，需用一般过去时，outdo的过去式为outdid；

【解析】
1. 考查名词复数：“two of + 可数名词复数”表示“……中的两个”，genius的复数为geniuses，故填geniuses；
2. 考查一般过去时：由时间状语last year可知，句子为一般过去时，outdo的过去式为outdid，故填outdid；
3. 考查副词用法：修饰动词stood需用副词，proud的副词形式为proudly，故填proudly；
4. 考查词性转换：形容词性物主代词my后需接名词，professional的名词形式为profession，故填profession；

做根据中文完成英语句子的题目时，需先匹配中文含义对应的英语固定结构、短语或常用表达，同时注意时态、大小写等细节。第1题“不仅…还…”是英语常用并列结构，对应not only…but also；第2题“向…致敬”是固定短语，句首单词需大写；第3题“看不起”是固定短语，结合“曾经”的语境需用过去式；第4题“无论老少”是常用表达，句首单词需大写。
【解析】
1. 表示“不仅…还…”的并列结构为not only…but also，用于连接句中两个并列成分（科学领域的天才和有天赋的画家）；

3. “看不起”的固定短语是look down on，由“曾经”可知动作发生在过去，故用过去式looked down on；

【答案】

2. Hats off

Ⅲ. 阅读短文，选择最佳选项。
When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I preferred. They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” At the same time, my father described the music that he liked as beautiful. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older,
I've often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that?
The mere exposure effect（纯粹接触效应）may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we
usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30, we are busy working and raising our family. We don't have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favourites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.
But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners.
Do your parents dislike the music you like too? Now, after reading this text, you know there is nothing wrong with that.
1. Why do many older people dislike new music? （）
① Because the new music sounds terrible.
② Because they are afraid of noise.
③ Because most new music is not written for them.

A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ②④
2. Which of the following charts correctly shows “the mere exposure effect”?（Preference：偏爱，Level of familiarity：熟悉度）
（）

3. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rebellion” in paragraph 3? （）
A. Purpose. B. Sense. C. Praise. D. Disagreement.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? （）
A. All new music is written for young people.
B. Most people no longer explore new music at the age of 33.
C. Teenagers usually spend a lot of time watching popular TV series.
D. Today’s music is terrible in all people’s eyes.
5. What is the best title for the text? （）
A. Why Don’t Your Parents Like the Music You Like?
B. What’s the Real Meaning of the Mere Exposure Effect?
C. When Do Most Young People Stop Exploring New Music?
D. How Do Young People Like Different Types of New Music?

本题为英语阅读理解题，共5道小题，需结合短文内容逐一分析：
1. 第1题：定位短文寻找老年人不喜欢新音乐的原因，文中提到纯粹接触效应（对新音乐不熟悉）和新音乐并非为他们创作，对应③④，选C。
2. 第2题：考查纯粹接触效应，即越熟悉某事物越偏爱，对应熟悉度越高偏爱度越高的曲线，选A。
3. 第3题：词义猜测题，rebellion意为年轻人对过时方式的反抗，与disagreement意思接近，选D。
4. 第4题：细节理解题，文中明确提到33岁时多数人停止探索新音乐，对应选项B。
5. 第5题：主旨大意题，文章围绕父母不喜欢孩子音乐的原因展开，选A。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据短文内容，老年人不喜欢新音乐的原因有两点：一是纯粹接触效应导致对不熟悉的新音乐缺乏偏爱，二是新音乐大多不是为他们创作的，故③④正确，选C。
2. 第2题：纯粹接触效应的定义是“越熟悉某事物，越可能偏爱它”，对应图表A中熟悉度越高、偏爱度越高的曲线，选A。
3. 第3题：划线词所在句意为“一些音乐类型最初是年轻人反抗过时做事方式的表现”，rebellion意为“反抗、不同意”，与disagreement意思最接近，选D。
4. 第4题：根据短文第二段最后一句“by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music”，可知B项正确；A项“all”与原文“most”不符，C项“watching TV series”原文未提及，D项“all people”与原文“many older people”不符，故选B。
