microscopicmess39閱讀理解:第二十九篇Ill Be Bach(2014年新文章) Composer David Cope is the inventor of a computer program that writes original works of classical music. It took Cope 30 years to develop the software. Now most people cant tell the difference between music by the famous German composer J. S. Bach1 (1685-1750) and the Bach-like compositions from Copes computer. It all started in 1980 in the United States, when Cope was trying to write an opera. He was having trouble thinking of new melodies, so be wrote a computer program to create the melodies. At first this music was not easy to listen to. What did Cope do? He began to rethink how human beings compose music. He realized that composers1 brains work like big databases. First,they take in all the music that they have ever heard. Then they take out the music that they dislike. Finally, they make new music from what is left. According to Cope,only the great composers axe able to create the database accurately,remember it,and form new musical patterns firom it.Cope built a huge database of existing music. He began with hundreds of works by Bach. 1 he software analyzed the data: it broke it down into smaller pieces and looked for patterns. It then combined the pieces into new patterns. Before long, the program could compose short Bach-like works. They werent good,but it was a start. Cope knew he had more work to do-he had a whole opera to write. He continued to improve the software. Soon it could analyze more complex music. He also added many other composers, including his own work,to the database. A few years later,Copes computer program,called “Emmy”,was ready to help him with his opera. The process required a lot of collaboration between the composer and Emmy. Cope listened to the computers musical ideas and used the ones that he liked. With Emmy, the opera took only two weeks to finish. It was called Cradle Fallingttind it was a great success! Cope received some of the best reviews of his career,but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work. Since that first opera, Emmy has written thousands of compositions. Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesnt like of her music,but she is doing most of the hard work of composing these days!詞匯:original /9 Vicinal/ adj.有獨創(chuàng)性 coHaboration /ka丨laebdreijan / n.合作review/ rivju:/ n.評論 feedback /fi:db®k / n.反饋注釋: 1.

A第一段的第一句:David Cope發(fā)明了一個可以編寫出古典音樂的電腦軟件。2. C從第二段的第一句可以看出,David編寫電腦軟件的目的是寫歌劇。A、B和D都屬于創(chuàng)作歌劇的一部分。 3. D第二段的后半部分講的是偉大的歌劇作者與一般的歌劇作者的不同之處是通過對數(shù)據(jù)進行淮確的構建、記憶而后創(chuàng)作出新的音樂形式。 4. B從第五段第一句可知Emmy是一計笄機軟件。 5. D從本文第一句可知David是一個作曲家,不是計算機程序員,所以排除A;B、C內(nèi)容沒有提及;從本文的第五段和第六段可知,Emmy大大提高了 David的創(chuàng)作速度。我也能成為巴赫作曲家大衛(wèi)科普發(fā)明了一個電腦軟件,它能編寫出古典音樂的原創(chuàng)作品。科普花了 30年才 完成這個軟件,現(xiàn)在,科普的電腦寫出的作品與德國著名作曲家J.S.巴赫寫的作品很相似,很少 有人能分辨出其中不同。這一切始于1980年的美國,那時科普正在寫一部戲劇,但是他無法創(chuàng)作出新的旋律.于楚他 編寫了一個電腦軟件來幫他編曲。最開始的時候,軟件寫出的樂曲并不動聽??破帐窃趺醋龅哪兀?他幵始重新考慮人們作曲的方式。他認識到作曲家的大腦就像一個大數(shù)據(jù)庫,他們先是吸收他們 聽過的所有音樂,然后去除他們不喜歡的,最后再根據(jù)留下的音樂來創(chuàng)作出新的旋律。科普認為, 只有偉大的作曲家才能建立好的數(shù)據(jù)庫,并且能熟記于心,從而創(chuàng)造出新的音樂??破崭鶕?jù)現(xiàn)有的音樂建立了龐大的數(shù)據(jù)庳,最開始的時候,數(shù)據(jù)庫包含了幾百部巴赫的作品。 科普的軟件將這些數(shù)據(jù)進行分析:首先它將音樂拆解成小的片段,從中找出固定模式,然后將片 段組合成新的模式。不久,這個軟件就能夠?qū)懗龊桶秃诊L格很像的小曲子。它們并不完美,但這 只是個開始??破罩溃龅倪€有很多一他得寫出一整部歌劇。他進一步完普他的軟件,不久它就 能夠?qū)懗龈鼜碗s的音樂了。他還在數(shù)據(jù)庫中加人了一些其他作曲家的作品,其中也包括他自己的作品。幾年后,科普的軟件“艾米”已經(jīng)能夠幫助他創(chuàng)作歌劇了。創(chuàng)作過程餹要作曲家和艾米共同 配合??瀑橊雎牥讓懗龅囊魳菲?,從中選取他認為好的。有了艾米的幫助,科蓊只用了兩個 星期就完成了這部歌劇,叫做搖籃墜落。演出獲得巨大成功,科普也得到了他有生以來最高 的評價,但是沒有人知道他究竟是怎樣創(chuàng)作出這部歌劇的。從那以后,艾米已經(jīng)寫了上千部作品??破宅F(xiàn)在依然會給艾米反饋,吿訴她自己哪些音樂是 他喜歡的,哪些是不喜歡的,但是現(xiàn)在大部分艱巨的工作是由艾米來完成的!第十九篇Musical Robot Companion Enhances Listener Experience Shimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Techs Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on listener feedback. The smartphone-enabled, one-foot-tall robot is billed as an interactive “musical friend”. “Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about their music,” said Professor Gil Weinberg, the robots creator. He will unveil the robot at the June 27th Google I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robots will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements. Shimi is essentially a docking station with a “brain” powered by an Android phone. Once docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the users mobile device. In other words, if theres an “app” for that, Shimi is ready. For instance, by using the phones camera and face-detecting software,Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its “ears”,or speakers, for optimal sound. Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phones musical library and immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestion. Once the music starts,Shimi dances to the rhythm. “Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions, said Music Technology Ph. D. candidate Mason Bretan. “Shimi shows us that robots can be creative and interactive. Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi to skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volume. The robot will also have the capability to recommend new music based on the users song choices and provide feedback on the music play list. Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to expand Shimis creative and interactive capabilities. “I believe that our center is ahead of a revolution that will see more robots in homes.” Weinberg said. Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive licensing agreement with Georgia Tech. Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the 2013 holiday season. “If robots are going to arrive in homes, we think that they will be this kind of machines一small, entertaining and fun,Weinberg said. “They will enhance your life and pave the way for more intelligent service robots in our lives.”詞匯:pump v.用抽水機抽;不斷播放(音樂)scan v.掃描;瀏覽skip v.輕跳,跳躍sync n.同步,同時;v.使同步tempo n.速度;節(jié)奏注釋:1.

B在前三段中均可找到與選項A、C、D相應的句子,強調(diào)Shimi是一種電子設備;B與原文不符, Shimi不是該機器人的發(fā)明者,Gil Weinberg教授才是the robots creator。2. D選項D簡要地表述了第三段的倒數(shù)第二句“If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phones musical library and immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestion”的意思,所以是答案。選項A、B、C都不符合上述句子的含義。3. D選項A的意思與原文相反。雖然人們認為機器人受到程序指令的限制,但Shimi卻表現(xiàn)出具有創(chuàng)造能力和互動能力,所以A不是答案。選項D的意思與原文相同,因而是答案。第四段第三句指的是未來的應用程序: future apps in the works,而選項B,C是指目前的應用程序,兩者的表述均與原文有出入。4. A第三段介紹Shimi的多種功能,第四段和第五段說Weinberg還在開發(fā)更多的應用程序來豐富Shimi的功能,還希望其他研發(fā)者也參與開發(fā),因此,A是答案。選項B說Weinberg 僅僅希望Georgia Tech員工參與開發(fā)更多的應用軟件,這與原文不符。文章最后一段告訴我們,Weinberg正在與Georgia Tech進行有關Shimi商業(yè)化的談判,選項C的意思與此相反,不會是答案。選項D也與原文不符。5. B選項A、C和D的內(nèi)容Weinberg都沒有說過。第三段告訴我們,Shimi是Android smart phone的擴充基座,并不適用于所有智能手機,所以A選項不正確;Shimi尚未進入市場,還談不上公眾對Shimi欣賞與否的問題,因此選項C不符合原意;Shimi正在進行商業(yè)化運作,但絕非已經(jīng)完成,所以D也不是正確選項。本題的答案是B,依據(jù)是最后一段倒數(shù)第二句。譯文:Shimi是由佐治亞理工大學音樂技術中心研發(fā)的一款音樂伴侶。它可以根據(jù)聽者的反饋推薦合乎節(jié)拍的歌曲、舞蹈;并且不斷播放音樂。這款髙1英尺的機器人是由智能手機系統(tǒng)支持的,因此被標榜為“一個可以互動的音樂朋友”。Gil Weinberg教授是該機器人的發(fā)明者,他解釋說:“Shimi設計的宗旨是改變?nèi)藗冃蕾p音樂、認識音樂的方式?!彼麑⒃诮衲?月27日在舊金山的谷歌I/O大會上展示這款機器人。一個由三個機器人組成的樂隊將為來賓演奏,并伴隨音樂起舞。而音樂是根據(jù)不同的運動形式編制的。Shimi實際上是一個擴充基座,它的“大腦”由安卓手機控制。一旦連接上,機器人便從用戶的移動裝置獲得傳感和音樂生成能力。換言之,只要有應用程序,機器人便能使用。例如,通過手機的照相機和辨認臉型的軟件,Shimi就能在房間周圍跟蹤到聽眾,然后安置好它的“耳朵”或揚聲器,以確保輸送最佳聲音。另外一種識別特征是基于節(jié)奏和速度。如果用戶打出某個(音樂)拍子,Shimi會對此進行分析,然后瀏覽手機的音樂庫,并立即演奏最符合要求的音樂。一旦音樂響起來,Shimi就隨韻律起舞?!霸S多人認為機器人受到程序指令的限制,而Shiini給我們展示了機器人可以具有創(chuàng)造力和與人交互的能力?!币魳芳夹g博士研究生Mason Bretan如是說。正在研發(fā)中的程序?qū)⑹褂脩裟軠贤ㄟ^搖頭或擺手表示不同意,來提醒Shimi跳到下一首歌或增減音量。機器人還可根據(jù)用戶對歌曲的選擇推薦新音樂,并對音樂播放列表提供反饋。Weinberg希望其他研發(fā)者會因此獲得靈感,開發(fā)更多的應用程序,來擴展Shimi的創(chuàng)新和交互功能。他說:“我認為我們中心正在引領這場將更多機器人應用到家庭中去的變革?!盬einberg正在通過獲得佐治亞理工學院的獨家授權來對Shimi進行商業(yè)推廣。Weinberg希望到2013年的節(jié)日季消費者可購買到Shimi。Weinberg說:“如果機器人進入家庭,我們認為就應該是這種類型的機器人:小巧、令人愉快和有趣,它們能提高我們的生活質(zhì)量,為更多智能服務型機器人進人我們的生活做好準備。第二十篇Explorer of the Extreme DeepOceans cover more than two-thirds of our planet Yet,just a small fraction of the undcrwaler world has been uxplored Now,Scientists at the Woods Hole1 Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts are building an underwater vehicle hat will carry explorers as deep as 6,500 meters (21,320 feet)The new machine,known as a manned submersible or human-operated vehicle (HOV),will replace another one named Alvin2 which bas an amazing record of discovery,playing a key role in various important and famous undersea expeditionsAlvin has been operating for 40 years but can go down only 4,500 meters (14,784 feet)Its about time for an upgrade,WHOI researchers sayAlvin was launched in 1964Since then,Alvin has worked between 200 and 250 days a year,says Daniel Fornari,a marine geologist and director of the Deep Ocean Exploration Institute at WHOIDuring its lifetime,Alvin has carried some 12,000 people on a total of more than 3,000 dives A newer,better versions of Alvin is bound to reveal even more surprises ahout a world that is still full of mysteries,F(xiàn)ornari saysIt might also make the job of exploration a little easier“We take so much for granted on land,” Fornari says“We can walk around and see with our eyes how big things are We can see colors,special arrangements”Size-wise,the new HOV will be similar to AlvinItll be about 37 feet longThe setting area inside will be a small sphere,about 8 feet wide,like Alvin,itll carry a pilot and two passengersIt will be just as maneuverableIn most other ways,it will give passengers more opportunities to enjoy the view,for one thingAlvin has only three windows,the new vehicle will have five,with more overlap so that the passengers and the pilot can see the same thingAlvin can go up and down at a rate of 30 meters every second,and its maximum speed is 2 knots (about 23 miles per hour),while the new vehicle will be able to ascend and descend at 44 meters per secondItll reach

500米深處。A不是事實,所以是正確選擇。3 C 本文討論探索海底世界的潛水裝置,所以“充滿神秘色彩的世界”指的就是海洋。4 D 第三段的頭三個句子告訴我們,HOV和Alvin在體積上和容量上相似。所以D是正確選擇。5 D 第三段最后兩句告訴我們,Alvin只有三個窗戶,而HOV有五個。最后一段告訴我們,兩艘潛水裝置的上下活動速度和行進速度有所差別。所以D是正確選擇。譯文:深海探索器海洋覆蓋了我們地球三分之二的面積,但被開發(fā)的地下水卻只有很小一部分。目前,馬薩諸塞木洞海洋研究所的科學家們正在開發(fā)一種能載探索家們深入水下6 500米(21

for OilWorldwide every day, we devour the energy equivalent of about 200 million barrels of oil. Most of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. In fact enough energy from the Sun hits the planets surface each minute to cover our needs for an entire year, we just need to find an efficient way to use it. So far the energy in oil has been cheaper and easier to get at. But as supplies dwindle, this will change, and we will need to cure our addiction to oil.Burning wood satisfied most energy needs until the steam-driven industrial revolution, when energy-dense coal became the fuel of choice. Coal is still used, mostly in power stations, to cover one quarter of our energy needs, but its use has been declining since we started pumping up oil. Coal is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel, but could make a comeback, as supplies are still plentiful: its reserves are five times larger than oils.Today petroleum, a mineral oil obtained from below the surface of the Earth and used to produce petrol, diesel oil and various other chemical substances, provides around 40% of the worlds energy needs, mostly fuelling automobiles. The US consumes n quarter of all oil, and generates a similar proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.The majority of oil comes from the Middle East, which has half of known reserves. But other significant sources include Russia, North America, Norway, Venezuela and the North Sea. Alaskas Arctic National Wildlife Refuge1 could be a major new US source, to reduce reliance on foreign imports.Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years, though opinions and estimates vary. We could fast reach an energy crisis in the next few decades, when demand exceeds supply. As conventional reserves become more difficult to access, others such as oil shales and tar sands may be used instead. Petrol could also be obtained from coal.Since we started using fossil fuels, we have released 400 billion tonnes2 of carbon, and burning the entire reserves could eventually raise world temperatures by 130 C. Among other horrors, this would result in the destruction of all rainforests and the melting of all Arctic ice.注釋:1. Alaskas Arctic National Wildlife Refuge:美國阿拉斯加北極國家野生動物保護區(qū)。 2001年,美國眾議院通過了一項基于布什提出的在那里進行石油開采的議案。該議案遭到環(huán)境保護主義組織的反對。因此,目前在該區(qū)禁止開采石油。2. tonne:公噸(= 1,000公斤。不同于 ton。ton:在美國等于二千磅 (=0.907公噸),所以稱作 short ton:短噸。練習:1. “ we will need to cure our addiction to oil.”Why does the author say so? A Most of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. B Oil supply is increasing all the time.C Demand for oil is increasing all the time.D Oil supply is decreasing.2. Which of the following statements is NOT meant by the author, according to the second paragraph? A Wood was the fuel of choice before coal.B The use of coal is declining. C Coal is the most environmentally unfriendly fuel next to oil. D Coal reserves are plentiful and will be likely to become the major fuel of choice.3. Which country is the biggest consumer of petroleum? A The United States. B Russia . C Norway. D Venezuela.4. What do experts say about the earths fuel reserves? A The earths fuel reserves will be accessible f
