19.Robots and humans will soon be living in harmony.A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with a human in a project that researchers hope will throw light on the nature of consciousness.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 to connect music with different emotions states.Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.
Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways.More importantly,however,this combination 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 computer scientist.But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.
Pasquer argues that robot are faced with two challenges.Software that can imitate Bach has already been developed.But interpretation(演绎) involves human's different tastes and judgments."what made the Beatles famous was not so much their compositions(作品),but the fact that the interpretations of the compositions were brilliant,"he says.
It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way.But by imitating humans and then learning to sing.Chella's robot could provide clues.
What seems to be important is that human composer often listen to lots of music made by others.So Chella's robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.
32.Which of the following is the robot's first step before it tries to create jazz?D
A.It will live with human beings in harmony
B.It will connect actions with human's emotions
C.It will learn to communicate with human beings
D.It will copy a human singer's movements and sounds
33.The underlined word"skeptical"in Paragraph 5 could be replaced by"A".
A.doubtful B.worried C.certain D.concerned
34.It can be concluded from the text thatD.
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 imitate Bach
D.Chella's robot should listen to lots of jazz to create something new
35.In which column of one newspaper can we read the text?C
A.Education B.Culture C.Science D.Health.
