To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections that result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to bine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this bination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a musician and puter scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are faced with two challenges. Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation(演繹)includes human’s different tastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s robot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human posers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella’s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.13. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Living with human beings in harmony.B. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.C. Copying a human singer’s movements and sounds.D. Learning to municate with human beings freely.14. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They are household robots. B. They can talk with researchers.C. They are faced with two challenges. D. They will bee human singers.15. What can be concluded from the text?A. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.B. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.C. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.D. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 Teens amp。高考資源網(wǎng)() 您身邊的高考專家甘谷一中2018——2019學(xué)年第二學(xué)期高二第一次檢測(cè)英語(yǔ)試卷第一部分:閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A Story Show in OberonAdults8:00 pm — 10:00 pmJoin us for an evening of true, personal stories about science.
