第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Hit songs are big business, so there is an incentive for composers to get those ingredients that might increase their chances of success. But songs are complex mixtures of features. How to analyse them is made more difficult by the fact that what is popular changes over time. But Natalia Komarova, a mathematicia
n at the University of California, Irvine, thinks she has cracked the problem. Her computer analysis suggests that the songs currently preferred by consumers are danceable, party-like numbers. Unfortunately, those actually writing songs prefer something else.
She and her colleagues collected information on music released in Britain between 1985 and 2015. They looked in music “metadata (元数据)’’ that are used by music lovers and are often tapped into by academics. Metadata are information about the nature of a song that can give listeners an idea of what that song is like before they hear it. Dr. Komarova and her team were presented with more than 500,000 songs to detect numerous musical features. The team fed all of this information into a computer and compared the features of songs that had made it into the charts (排行榜) with those of songs that had not.
Overall, the team’s results suggested that chart successes were happier and brighter than the average songs released during the same year. Chart toppers were also more likely than average songs to have been performed by women.
