2.Ludwig van Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians that ever lived.He completed 722 musical works.Unfortunately,the great musician died while still working on his 10th Symphony.Now,a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence(Al)to complete the artist's final master piece.Dr.Matthias Roder,the director of the Karajan Institute in Austria,who respects Beethoven very much,wanted to do something for the musician's 250th birthday in December 2020.He enlisted an international team of music experts to help him with the big task.They included music composer Walter Werzowa and Dr.Ahmed Elgammal,the creator of an AI technology for the art market.
Elgammal and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the Al software initially with a broad range of classical music,and then,narrowed it to just Beethoven's works.Mean-while,Werzowa and his group tried to understand the rough sketches(草圖)and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven's plans for the 10th Symphony.
The team then began the task of feeding the Al software musical notes from the unfinished composition.Elgammal says that since music is very structured and mathematical,AI can predict the next note reasonably and accurately.However,it starts to go off the central theme after a few notes.To stay true to Becthoven's original composition,Elgammal's team sent Werzowa hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening.Werzowa would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written.The Al team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions.And piece by piece,the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony!
The composition appeared at the Telekom Forum in Beethoven's birthplace of Bonn,Germany,on October 9,2021.Not surprisingly,the AI-generated masterpiece is causing some argument.Critics believe technology should not be used to replace the human creative process.Elgammal and his team agree with their viewpoint and say their Al software is not out to replace humans-it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.
(1)Why does Matthias Roder start the project?
A.To explore AI in a new way.
B.To be in memory of Beethoven.
C.To start a new way of creating music.
D.To study the relationships between music and AI.
(2)What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.The challenges the team face.
B.The way the team carry out the task.
C.The reason why they start the project.
D.The team's achievement in the project.
(3)What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Not all the people are for the project.
B.AI provides great help in music creating.
C.AI will replace humans in music creative process.
D.The AI-generated masterpiece proves to be great successful.組卷:0引用:1難度:0.3 -
3.People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using e-mail.Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students,all strangers to each other,to solve a problem.They had to discuss this question:If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster,who should they be?The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers.Dr.Johnson said, "They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face.When the computers were fitted with (安裝) cameras so that students could see each other,this limited the personal side of the conversation."
Generally the information was not extremely personal.It was mainly about things such as where they went to school,or where they used to live.But some students discussed their love stories,and personal childhood experiences.
Dr Johnson believes that e-mailing encourages people to focus on (專注于) themselves.And when they do this,they become more open,especially if there are no cameras. "If you cannot see the other person,it becomes easier to talk about yourself.This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you.So e-mailing has become the modern way of talking," said Dr.Johnson.However,this style of talking is not entirely new. "In the 19th century people started to use the 'telegraph' to communicate.Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely."
Dr.Johnson thinks that e-mailers need to know about these effects of e-mailing,especially when they start work in a company. "If you don't know about it,you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to."
(1)The subject discussed in this passage is
A.how people open up when emailing
B.how people do research studies

D.how to discuss and solve a problem
(2)The reason why some couples talked freely about themselves is that
A.they liked to talk about very personal things
B.they couldn't see each other
C.the cameras on the computers were turned on
D.they had to discuss a question
(3)What does the underlined words refer to?
A.The telegraph.
B.The computer.
C.E-mailing.
D.Face-to-face talk.
(4)In the writer's opinion,one should
A.focus on oneself when e-mailing
B.talk more freely in e-mails than usual
C.discuss any subject that one wants to
D.consider how one uses e-mail at work組卷:4引用:2難度:0.7

Three years ago I failed a important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school.Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom,but I found the teachers patient and considerate.Besides,I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere on class.I decided to make best of it.I work hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates.Whenever I had difficulties,they were seldom available.Soon,I became one of the top student in my class,which greatly increased my confident and got me motivated.
