Bach (1685-1750) and the Bach-like compositions from Copes computer. 作曲家大卫科普发明了一个电脑软件，它能编写出古典音乐的原创作 品。科普花了 30 年才 完成这个软件，现在，科普的电脑写出的作品与德国 著名作曲家 J.S.巴赫写的作品很相似，很少 有人能分辨出其中不同。 It all started in 198

Finally, they make new music from what is left. According to Cope, only the great composers are able to create the database accurately, remember it,

18、and form new musical patterns from it. 这一切始于 1980 年的美国，那时科普正在写一部戏剧，但是他无法创作 出新的旋律于是他 编写了一个电脑软件来帮他编曲。最开始的时候，软件写 出的乐曲并不动听。科普是怎么做的呢？ 他幵始重新考虑人们作曲的方式。 他认识到作曲家的大脑就像一个大数据库，他们先是吸收他们 听过的所有音 乐，然后去除他们不喜欢的，最后再根据留下的音乐来创作出新的旋律。科普 认为， 只有伟大的作曲家才能建立好的数据库，并且能熟记于心，从而创造 出新的音乐。 Cope built a huge database of existing musi

20、数据庳，最开始的时候，数据库包含 了几百部巴赫的作品。 科普的软件将这些数据进行分析：首先它将音乐拆解 成小的片段，从中找出固定模式，然后将片 段组合成新的模式。不久，这个 软件就能够写出和巴赫风格很像的小曲子。它们并不完美，但这只是个开始。 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 composer

21、s, including his own work, to the database. 5 科普知道，他要做的还有很多,他得写出一整部歌剧。他进一步完善他的 软件，不久它就 能够写出更复杂的音乐了。他还在数据库中加人了一些其他 作曲家的作品，其中也包括他自己的作品。 A few years later, Copes computer program, called “Emmy“, was ready to help him with his opera.

23、 几年后，科普的软件“艾米”已经能够帮助他创作歌剧了。创作过程要作 曲家和艾米共同 配合。 科普聆听艾米写出的音乐片段， 从中选取他认为好的。 有了艾米的帮助， 科蓊只用了两个 星期就完成了这部歌剧， 叫做 摇篮坠落 。 演出获得巨大成功，科普也得到了他有生以来最高 的评价，但是没有人知道 他究竟是怎样创作出这部歌剧的 Since that first opera, Emmy has written thousands of compositions. Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesnt like of her

24、music, but she is doing most of the hard work of composing these days! 从那以后，艾米已经写了上千部作品。科普现在依然会给艾米反馈， 吿 诉她自己哪些音乐是 他喜欢的，哪些是不喜欢的，但是现在大部分艰巨的工 作是由艾米来完成的！ 练习： l.

B David Cope loves music. C Bachs music helped him a lot. D Emmy did much more work than a composer. 答案与题解： 1.A 第一段的第一句：Dav

27、id Cope 发明了一个可以编写出古典音乐的电脑软 件。 2.C 从第二段的第一句可以看出，David 编写电脑软件的目的是写歌剧。A、 B 和 D 都属于创作歌剧的一部分。 3.D第二段的后半部分讲的是伟大的歌剧作者与一般的歌剧作者的不同之处是 通过对数据进行准确的构建、记忆而后创作出新的音乐形式。 4.B 从第五段第一句可知 Emmy 是一计算机软件。 5.D从本文第一句可知David是一个作曲家， 不是计算机程序员， 所以排除A;B、 C 内容没有提及;从本文的第五段和第六段可知， Emmy 大大提高了 David 的创 作速度，最后一句，大部分困难的工作都由 Emmy 来做，所以作曲

28、家只干一 小部分工作。 第二十九篇 我也能成为巴赫 作曲家大卫科普发明了一个电脑软件， 它能编写出古典音乐的原创作品。 科普花了 30 年才 完成这个软件，现在，科普的电脑写出的作品与德国著名 作曲家 J.S.巴赫写的作品很相似，很少 有人能分辨出其中不同。 这一切始于 1980 年的美国，那时科普正在写一部戏剧，但是他无法 创作出新的旋律于是他 编写了一个电脑软件来帮他编曲。最开始的时候，软 件写出的乐曲并不动听。科普是怎么做的呢？ 他幵始重新考虑人们作曲的方 式。他认识到作曲家的大脑就像一个大数据库，他们先是吸收他们 听过的所 有音乐，然后去除他们不喜欢的，最后再根据留下的音乐来创作出新的

31、构 of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society. The familys form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences.Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family，consisting of a married couple with their minor children. T

32、he nuclear family is an independent unit. It must be prepared to fend for itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies. Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so.

33、 In North America，the elderly often do not live with the family ; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes. 在全世界，甚至在同一个社会中，家庭结构有着不同的形式。家庭的构成形式 随着不断变化的社会和经济影响而改变。直到最近，北美洲最普遍的家庭形式为核 心家庭，由一对夫妇和他们未婚的孩子构成。核心家庭是一个独立的单位。它必须 能够照料自己。家庭成员紧密依赖着彼此。在紧急情况下，外界提供给家庭的帮助 微乎其微。核心家庭中，只有当条件允许的时候，才会照料家中年长的亲属

34、。在北 美洲，老人很少和家人一起生活，他们一般住在退休社区和养老机构。 There are many parallels 相同 的between the nuclear family in industrial societies， such as North America， and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits 8 因纽特人的，who live in harsh environments. The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobili

35、ty. In harsh conditions，mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans，the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility. 在工业社会，例如北美洲，核心家庭之间有很多相似点。在居住在恶劣环境中 的因纽特人的社会中，家庭间也有很多相似点。核心家庭结构良好地适应于流动性 的生活。在恶劣的条件下，流动性能让一个家庭吃饱饭。对北美洲人来说，找工作 和提高社会地位同样需要流动性。 The nuclear famil

36、y was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian 农业社会 time，the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family. This might have included grandparents，mother and father，brothers and sisters，uncles，aunts，and cousins. In North America today，there is a dramatic rise in

37、the number of single-parent households. Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced，separated，or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family ， not just in North America,but throughout the world，continues to change as it adapts

38、to changing conditions. 核心家庭并不总是北美洲人的标准。在农业社会时期，小型的核心家庭经常是 大家庭的一部分。其中可能包括了祖父母、父母、兄弟姐妹、叔伯、阿姨以及表兄 弟姐妹。在现在的北美洲，单亲家庭的数目大幅度增加。由核心家庭构成的单亲家 庭的数目是美国由于离婚、分居或者未婚导致的单亲家庭的两倍。不仅在北美洲， 在世界范围内，家庭结构都会随着不断变化的条件而改变. 练习: 1.Another good title 题目 for this passage would be_.3 分 本题问的是: 这篇文章的题目是什么?

43、ca ， the elderly often do not live with the family; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.在北美洲，老人很少和家人一起生活;他 们一般住在退休社 区和养老机构。 3.In harsh conditions，mobility allows the family to hunt for food. :在恶劣的条件下， 流动性能让一个家庭吃饱饭。 答案与题解: 1.A本题问的是:这篇文章的题目还可以是什么? A 的意思是是什么构成了一个 家。B 的意 思是因纽特人的生活。C 的意

44、思是生活得很艰难。D 的意思是核心家 庭的失败之处。根据文意，本文主要介绍了与家庭相关的信息。B 不是主要内容。 C 未提到。D 未提到。因此 A 是正确的答案。 2.A本题问的是:核心家庭的定义是什么?根据第一段的第三句话:Until recently， the most common form in NorthAmerica was the nuclear family，consisting of a married couple with their minor children. 可知 A 是正确的答案。 3.A本题问的是:这篇文章最有可能出自哪里?A 的意思是人类学课本。B 的意 思

45、是生物课本。 C 的意思是数学课本。 D 的意思是地理课本。 本文主要介绍了家庭， 因此最有可能是 人类学课本。所以 A 是正确的答案。 4.C本题问的是:第一段的信息主要以何种方式陈述的?根据第一段的陈述方式， 并没有列 出数据或者讲故事， 而是通过描述共性而阐述出核心家庭的概念。 因此 C 是正确的答案。 5.B本题问的是:mobility 的词意。Mobility 是 mobile 的名词形式。根据文中第 二段，核心家庭能够生存下去最重要的是能够有流动性，而钱、组织或是技能都不 是能够使一个家庭吃饱饭的必要条件。因此 B 是正确的答案。 第二十篇第二十篇TalesTales 传说传说 故
