14.It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz.A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with human being in a project.
Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot.To start with,the Telenoid will be trained to imitate the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer,and then connect music with different human emotions.
Previous(以前的) robots had the ability to find common connections between things.But Chella suggests that a conscious(有意識(shí)的) robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections.The Telenoid is of this kind.
"This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating."says Philippe Pasquier,a musician needs a physical body.
Pasquer argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge."Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles,a famous band.However,what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs,"he says.
It is not clear how a robot would perform music a new way.But by imitating humans,the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information.What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own.So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first.
61.What's the possible meaning of the underlined"imitate"?C
A.制造        
B.編曲       
C.模仿     
D.發(fā)出聲響
62.What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first?D
A.Communicate with human beings    
B.Connect music with human emotions
C.Live and work comfortably with human beings
D.Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer
63.In Pasquier's opinion,the Telenoid robotB
A.will replace human musicians soon.
B.may have trouble performing music.
C.will become more popular than The Beatles.
D.can find connections between things that humans cannot find
64.Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A
A.The Telenoid,future robot musician.
B.How to teach robots to perform music.
C.The right music the robots should listen to.
D.Differences between a human singer and a robot musician.
65.In which part of a newspaper do we most probably read this passage?D
A.Arts        
B.Entertainment      
C.Medicine       
D.Science.

分析 據(jù)報(bào)道,在不久的將來(lái),機(jī)器人將和人類一起創(chuàng)作爵士樂(lè)(jazz).在一項(xiàng)研究中,訓(xùn)練唱歌機(jī)器人與人類一起創(chuàng)作爵士樂(lè).
來(lái)自意大利的Antonio Chella與Telenoid機(jī)器人一起工作.最初,訓(xùn)練機(jī)器人模仿(imitate)人類歌手的動(dòng)作和簡(jiǎn)單的聲音,然后讓其將音樂(lè)與不同人類情感聯(lián)系起來(lái).
以前的機(jī)器人具有在不同事物之間發(fā)現(xiàn)共同聯(lián)系的能力,但是Chella認(rèn)為有意識(shí)的機(jī)器人可能會(huì)做的更好并且能夠區(qū)別不同事物之間更深層的聯(lián)系,Telenoid機(jī)器人就是這樣一種機(jī)器人;
"這項(xiàng)工作引出了一個(gè)非常有趣的問(wèn)題,就是關(guān)于意識(shí)和音樂(lè)創(chuàng)作之間的聯(lián)系."Philippe Pasquier說(shuō)道,音樂(lè)家需要一個(gè)軀體.
Pasquer提出機(jī)器人音樂(lè)家面臨著一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn),他說(shuō):"它的軟件設(shè)備已經(jīng)有了很大的提高,可以模仿著名的甲殼蟲樂(lè)隊(duì),然而,讓甲殼蟲樂(lè)隊(duì)如此著名的原因并不僅僅只是因?yàn)樗麄兊母枨,還因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)歌曲的精彩表演".
如何使機(jī)器人以一種新的方式演繹音樂(lè)還不清楚,但是通過(guò)模仿人類,Telenoid機(jī)器人可能會(huì)為我們解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題提供有用的信息.重要的是,人類歌手在創(chuàng)作屬于自己的歌曲之前,都會(huì)長(zhǎng)期聆聽(tīng)和比較其他音樂(lè)家創(chuàng)作的作品,因此Telenoid機(jī)器人最好聽(tīng)更多的爵士樂(lè).

解答 61.C.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)"To start with,the Telenoid will be trained toimitate the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer,and thenconnect music with different human emotions."可知,最初Telenoid機(jī)器人只是imitate動(dòng)作和簡(jiǎn)單的聲音,既然有動(dòng)作,那么選項(xiàng)中的發(fā)出聲響和編曲就不符合題意;另外動(dòng)作和簡(jiǎn)單聲音后面有made by a human singer的定語(yǔ)限制,因此這些動(dòng)作和聲音的制造者是人,因此制造不合題意,只能是模仿;
 62.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段To start with,the Telenoid will be trained to imitate the movements and simple sounds made bya human singer可知,Telenoid機(jī)器人最初學(xué)習(xí)的是模仿人類歌手的動(dòng)作和簡(jiǎn)單的聲音;
 63.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文中第五段,Pasquer提出機(jī)器人音樂(lè)家面臨著一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn),那就是它可以模仿著名的甲殼蟲樂(lè)隊(duì),然而讓甲殼蟲樂(lè)隊(duì)如此著名的原因并不僅僅只是因?yàn)樗麄兊母枨因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)歌曲的精彩表演,因此Pasquer認(rèn)為,機(jī)器人面臨的挑戰(zhàn)是歌曲的表演方面,即The Telenoid robit may have trouble performing music.
 64.A.文章主旨題.根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容,主要講述的內(nèi)容是Telenoid機(jī)器人,包括它的優(yōu)勢(shì)、訓(xùn)練內(nèi)容以及現(xiàn)在存在的挑戰(zhàn),因此文章的主旨就是Telenoid機(jī)器人,因此答案為A,Telenoid機(jī)器人,未來(lái)的音樂(lè)家.
 65.D.推理判斷題.文章的主旨是Telenoid機(jī)器人,屬于人工智能機(jī)器人,因此應(yīng)該屬于科學(xué)范疇,因此是D,Science.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇科普類文章.講述的話題是人工智能.做題時(shí)要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上,與題目有機(jī)的結(jié)合,從文章中找到相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)性的句子與選項(xiàng)細(xì)細(xì)比對(duì),進(jìn)行選擇或推理判斷,選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項(xiàng).做題注意靈活,有時(shí)可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.

9.Researchers have discovered the first Earth-sized planet.It was first marked by scientists'using NASA's Kepler telescope(望遠(yuǎn)鏡),so it's called Kepler-186f.It lies about 500light years from Earth and goes around its star.The planet is the right distance from its star for water:not too close or not too far.Water is one important condition that scientists guess is necessary for life.So it could have water and possible life.It's called a true Earth cousin.
"This planet is an Earth cousin,not an Earth twin,"said Barclay,who is among a team of scientists reporting on the discovery in the magazine Science this week.
"It's very exciting to find a planet similar to the Earth,"Barclay said."It's not easy work because things change as we get more measurements."
Scientists don't know anything about the air of Kepler-186f,but it will be a task for future telescopes which can study for chemicals that have something to do with life.
"It's possible for life to live in this planet,but that doesn't mean there is life in it,"Barclay said.
So far,scientists have found nearly 1,800planets in the universe.
"The past year has seen a lot of progress in the search for Earth-like planets.Kepler-186f is very important because it is the first planet that is the same temperature and is almost the same size as Earth,"scientist David Charbonneau wrote in an email.
48.Scientists have already found aboutC planets now.
A.500
B.186
C. 1,800
D.1,801
49.Which of the following about Kepler-186f is NOT true according to the passage?A
A.It could have water and possible life,so perhaps we might live there.
B.It's almost as hot as and as large as Earth.
C.In the future,scientists will study the chemicals of it by telescope.
D.It's an Earth-like planet.
50.We can probably read this article inB.
A.a(chǎn) story book
B.a(chǎn) newspaper
C.a(chǎn) text book
D.a(chǎn) sport magazine
51.What is the best title of the passage?D
A.Space research.
B.Journey to space.
C.Is there water and possible life in Kepler-186f?
D.Scientists discover the most Earth-like planet.

7.Kids Speak UpIn an online poll (投票),TIME FOR KIDS and KidsHealth.org asked kids how they are getting along with their parents.Here's what they told us.
Getting Along and Having Fun
About two out of three kids said they get along very well with their parents.About four out of five told us they have fun with their parents.But that doesn't mean they never disagree.In fact,most kids reported arguing with their parents sometimes.
"It's common to disagree and argue,"says D'Arcy Lyness,a child psychologist (心理學(xué)家)."But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully."About half of the kids said they are doing that.When they disagree with their parents,they say they have a discussion calmly.
But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other.Lyness points out that shouting never helps."Speak up,and let your parents know your ideas,"she advises."But be patient.Don't use a raised,angry voice."
Not surprisingly,three out of four kids admitted (承認(rèn)) to lying at times.Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disappointing their parents.According to Lyness,lying isn't just wrong.It can actually get bad results.Telling the truth builds trust."When parents can trust you,they are more likely to give you more freedom."she says.
A Changing Relationship
Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more,but they also reported having less fun,feeling less close,and not getting along as well with their parents.
According to Lyness,those feelings are not uncommon.As kids grow up,they have more disagreements or arguments with their parents.But it doesn't have to be that way."Kids and parents get along differently at different times of the journey of life,"she says.As kids grow and change,it is important for ever ybody to adapt (適應(yīng))."There's a dance of ways that you act with others and get along,"she points out."Then there's a change,and it's a different dance."Change is normal,she stresses.
Share this story with your family.You may find that you have a lot to talk about.
49.According to the poll,how many kids get along very well with their parents?B
A.About 4/5.
B.About 2/3.
C.About 1/2.
D.About 2/5.
50.What does Lyness advise kids to do when arguments happen?C
A.Listen to their parents calmly.
B.Try to understand their parents.
C.Voice their opinions with patience.
D.Tell a white lie to avoid problems.
51.According to Lyness,which is a possible way for kids to get more freedom?A
A.To tell the truth.
B.To care more about their parents.
C.To make less trouble.
D.To have a talk with their parents.
52.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.Disagreements between parents and kids are avoidable.
B.Kids ages 12 to14 lie more because they have less fun.
C.The relationship between parents and kids stays the same.
D.Both parents and kids should make changes to get on well.
