10、fessor Eduardo Miranda has been programming pairs of robots to compose music.Mirandas robots have simple “vocal cords” (聲帶) and are programmed to sing and listen to each other。The robots unique warbling sounds (顫音) do not perfectly match the human voice，but each machine is exactly sharing music with

11、 the other in a new and unique way.Each robot is equipped with speakers，software that mimics the human voice， a mouth that opens as it “sings”, a microphone for ears, and a camera for eyes。 The robots also move.Miranda hopes that by studying his robot vocalists, he can discover something about how a

12、nd why humans create, perform，and listen to music.When the robots sing, the first robot makes six random sounds。Its partner responds with more sounds.The first robot analyzes the sounds to see if their sequences （順序） are similar。If they are， it nods its head and commits the sounds to memory, and the

13、 second robot notices and “memorizes” the musical sequence, too。 If the first robot thinks the sounds are too different, it shakes its head and both robots ignore the sounds.Then the process continues.Miranda set up an experiment in which he left the two robots alone in his study for two weeks.When

14、he returned， his little warblers had， by imitating each other, not only shared notes but combined them.The product of their cooperation was far from symphonic， but the robots had begun to combine the notes into their own selfdeveloped “songs”With the help of his warbling robots， one of Mirandas goal

15、s is to create music that no human would ever compose.Miranda believes the robots are ideal for this purpose because they would not be influenced by any existing musical styles or rules。語篇解讀普利茅斯大學的教授Eduardo Miranda通過編寫程序讓一對機器人創(chuàng)作音樂.本文介紹了Miranda的實驗過程以及他的目標等.4Which is closest in meaning to the underlin

16、ed word “mimics” in Paragraph 2？ASubstitutes。BInterrupts。CControls. DCopies。解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句中的“a mouth that opens as it sings， a microphone for ears， and a camera for eyes可知,“唱歌”時嘴張開、麥克風用作耳朵、攝像頭用作眼睛。由此可推知，此處表示用來模仿人聲的軟件，故D項正確。A項意為“代替,取代”.答案:D5What did the two robots do during Mirandas experiment？ATh

17、ey interacted with each other.BThey ignored the unique sound。CThey learned to sing better than humans。DThey committed random sounds to memory。解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一、二句“When the robots sing，the first robot makes six random sounds。Its partner responds with more sounds?！笨芍敊C器人唱歌時，第一個機器人發(fā)出六個隨機的聲音；它的同伴會發(fā)出更多的聲

18、音來回應(yīng).并結(jié)合該段其他內(nèi)容可知，在唱歌時，機器人之間會互動，故A項正確。答案：A6What does Miranda want his robots to do？ASing as well as humans do。BCreate new styles of music.CMemorize a variety of music.DPromote traditional musical forms.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“With the help of his warbling robots，one of Mirandas goals is to create music th

19、at no human would ever compose.”可知，Miranda的目標之一就是憑借機器人的幫助創(chuàng)作出人類永遠無法創(chuàng)作出的音樂，即創(chuàng)造出新風格的音樂，故B項正確。答案:B7What is the text mainly about？AFuture robots。BSpecial songs.CMusic by robots。 DExperiments by Miranda.解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,文章第一段第一句“At Englands University of Plymouth, Professor Eduardo Miranda has been program

20、ming pairs of robots to compose music。”為全文的主題句，結(jié)合下文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹了Eduardo Miranda教授用機器人創(chuàng)作音樂的實驗過程。故C項正確。答案：CCA new study shows thornbills （刺嘴蜂鳥)， a kind of little birds, have evolved a technique that enables them to imitate the goshawk (蒼鷹) alarm calls produced by other small neighboring species in orde

21、r to scare away nest attackers such as pied currawongs (澳洲喜鵲）, according to a study conducted by scientists at the University of Cambridge.Pied currawongs, 40 times bigger than thornbills, are sensitive to the goshawk alarm calls made by other species to help them avoid being hunted by the coming go

22、shawks。Therefore， the medium。sized black birds take the false alarm made by the sixgram thornbills as a real call and leave the tiny birds alone?！癟he enormous size difference between a tiny thornbill and a 0.5 kg goshawk might make it difficult for thornbills to imitate goshawk vocalization （發(fā)聲) acc

23、urately, limiting them to imitating the sound of goshawk alarm calls given by small local species instead，” said Jessica McLachlan, a PhD student from Cambridges Department of Zoology?！癆s goshawks are silent when they hunt, the alarm calls of local species may be the only sound that warns of a gosha

24、wks presence，” Jessica McLachlan further noted。When pied currawongs are distracted by the false alarm calls, thornbill nestlings （雛鳥) will have enough time to escape.“Distracting a pied currawong attacking the nest could give elder thornbill nestlings a chance to escape and hide in the surrounding p

25、lants,” said Dr。Branislav Igic， director of the study, from ANU. “Its perhaps the best nest defense for thornbills in the circumstances because physical attacks on the much larger pied currawongs are hopeless，” Dr。Branislav Igic added。語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。體型微小的刺嘴蜂鳥能夠模仿蒼鷹來襲的警報聲以嚇跑捕食者。8Whats thornbills purpos

26、e in imitating the goshawk alarm calls?ATo look for food.BTo confuse enemies。CTo attract other birds. DTo entertain their nestlings.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的最后一句可知,當刺嘴蜂鳥發(fā)出蒼鷹來襲的警報時，澳洲喜鵲會當真，不敢去襲擊它.由此可知,刺嘴蜂鳥學蒼鷹來襲的警報聲的目的是迷惑獵食者。答案：B9Why are pied currawongs sensitive to the goshawk alarm calls？AThey live near gosha

27、wks。BThey are friendly to goshawks.CGoshawks hunt and eat them.DThey cant bear the sharp cry。解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句可知，澳洲喜鵲對蒼鷹來襲的警報聲敏感是因為它們害怕自己被蒼鷹吃掉.答案:C10What makes it hard for the thornbill to imitate goshawk vocalization?AIts relatively small size.BThe disturbance of other species。CThe threat from pie

28、d currawongs.DThe silence of goshawks when they hunt。解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，刺嘴蜂鳥體型微小，因此很難直接模仿蒼鷹的叫聲.答案：A11What do Branislav Igics words suggest?AThornbills have weak surviving ability。BThornbills have poor ability to imitate。CThornbills can hardly cheat pied currawongs.DThornbills have a good way to defend

29、 themselves。解析：推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段Branislav Igic的話可知，刺嘴蜂鳥在體型上不是澳洲喜鵲的對手,因此模仿蒼鷹來襲的警報聲是一種很好地保護自己的手段。 答案:DDHow did people look after their children in the Stone Age?

32、 to feed babies or as a supplementary weaning food in some parts of the world improved nutrition，contributing to an increased birth rate.This research gives us a greater insight into the lives of mothers and babies in the past and how prehistoric families were dealing with baby feeding and nutrition

33、 at what would have been a very risky time in a childs life.The death rate of children would have been highthere were no antibiotics (抗生素) in those days-and feeding babies with animal milk would have come with its own set of risks。Although it may have provided a valuable source of nutrition, today w
