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(有意识的) 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.编曲       
C.模仿     
D.发出声响
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 据报道,在不久的将来,机器人将和人类一起创作爵士乐(jazz).在一项研究中,训练唱歌机器人与人类一起创作爵士乐.
来自意大利的Antonio Chella与Telenoid机器人一起工作.最初,训练机器人模仿(imitate)人类歌手的动作和简单的声音,然后让其将音乐与不同人类情感联系起来.
以前的机器人具有在不同事物之间发现共同联系的能力,但是Chella认为有意识的机器人可能会做的更好并且能够区别不同事物之间更深层的联系,Telenoid机器人就是这样一种机器人;
"这项工作引出了一个非常有趣的问题,就是关于意识和音乐创作之间的联系."Philippe Pasquier说道,音乐家需要一个躯体.
Pasquer提出机器人音乐家面临着一个巨大的挑战,他说:"它的软件设备已经有了很大的提高,可以模仿著名的甲壳虫乐队,然而,让甲壳虫乐队如此著名的原因并不仅仅只是因为他们的歌曲,还因为他们对歌曲的精彩表演".
如何使机器人以一种新的方式演绎音乐还不清楚,但是通过模仿人类,Telenoid机器人可能会为我们解决这个问题提供有用的信息.重要的是,人类歌手在创作属于自己的歌曲之前,都会长期聆听和比较其他音乐家创作的作品,因此Telenoid机器人最好听更多的爵士乐.

解答 61.C.词义猜测题.根据"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机器人只是imitate动作和简单的声音,既然有动作,那么选项中的发出声响和编曲就不符合题意;另外动作和简单声音后面有made by a human singer的定语限制,因此这些动作和声音的制造者是人,因此制造不合题意,只能是模仿;
 62.D.细节理解题.根据第二段To start with,the Telenoid will be trained to imitate the movements and simple sounds made bya human singer可知,Telenoid机器人最初学习的是模仿人类歌手的动作和简单的声音;
 63.B.推理判断题.根据文中第五段,Pasquer提出机器人音乐家面临着一个巨大的挑战,那就是它可以模仿著名的甲壳虫乐队,然而让甲壳虫乐队如此著名的原因并不仅仅只是因为他们的歌曲,还因为他们对歌曲的精彩表演,因此Pasquer认为,机器人面临的挑战是歌曲的表演方面,即The Telenoid robit may have trouble performing music.
 64.A.文章主旨题.根据全文的内容,主要讲述的内容是Telenoid机器人,包括它的优势、训练内容以及现在存在的挑战,因此文章的主旨就是Telenoid机器人,因此答案为A,Telenoid机器人,未来的音乐家.
 65.D.推理判断题.文章的主旨是Telenoid机器人,属于人工智能机器人,因此应该属于科学范畴,因此是D,Science.

点评 本文是一篇科普类文章.讲述的话题是人工智能.做题时要在理解好文意的基础上,与题目有机的结合,从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项细细比对,进行选择或推理判断,选出符合文章内容的正确选项.做题注意灵活,有时可采用排除法或直选法确定出最终答案.

9.Researchers have discovered the first Earth-sized planet.It was first marked by scientists'using NASA's Kepler telescope(望远镜),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 story book
B.a newspaper
C.a text book
D.a 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 (心理学家)."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 (承认) 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 (适应)."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.
