问题共用题干 I'll Be Bach
Composer David Cope is the inventor of a computer program that writes original works of classical music.It took Cope 30 years to develop the software.Now most people can't tell the difference between music by the famous German composer J.S.Bach(1685-1750)and the Bach-like compositions from Cope's computer.
It all started in 1980 in the United States,when Cope was trying to write an opera.______(46)At first this music was not easy to listen to.What did Cope do?He began to rethink how human beings compose music.He realized that composers'brains work like big databases.First,they take in all the music that they have ever heard.______(47)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,and form new musical patterns from it.
Cope built a huge database of existing music.He began with hundreds of works by Bach.The software analyzed the data:it broke it down into smaller pieces and looked for patterns.It then combined the pieces into new patterns._______(48)They weren't good,but it was a start.
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 composers,including his own work,to the database.
A few years later,Cope's computer program,called"Emmy",was ready to help him with his opera.______(49)Cope listened to the computer's musical ideas and used the ones that he liked.With Emmy,the opera took only two weeks to finish.It was called Cradle Falling,and it was a great success! ______(50) Since that first opera,Emmy has written thousands of compositions,Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesn't like of her music,but she is doing most of the hard work of composing these days!

选项 ______(48) A:By developing a computer software,David Cope aimed to write an opera. B:Cope received some of the best reviews of his career,but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work. C:He was having trouble thinking of new melodies,so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies. D:The process required a lot of collaboration between the composer and Emmy. E:Before long,the program could compose short Bach-like works. F:Then they take out the music that they dislike.

答案 E

解析空格前一句表明，1980年Cope在美国开始尝试编写歌剧；空格后又表明，刚开始时这首音乐很难懂。由此可知，空格处的句子中应该有表示音乐的词汇。C项中的“melody”可以用来表示“音乐中的旋律、曲调”，而且C项表示Cope在写歌剧时遇到的问题，与空格前句子相照应，因此选择C项。
根据空格前一句的第一个单词“First”与空格后一句的第一个单词“Finally”可知，空格处的句子中应该有一个表示顺序的词，只有F项中的“Then”可以表示顺序。这三句话连用，用来解释Cope用软件来编写音乐的先后顺序，符合题意。由此可知，本题应该选择F项。
根据第三段第二句可知，Cope选择了巴赫的曲子。由此可知，软件做出来的音乐应该与巴赫的音乐类似，E项符合题意，因此选择E项。
空格前一句表明，Cope的软件Emmy已经准备好帮助他编写歌剧了；空格后一句表明，Cope听取软件之间进行意见，并根据自己的喜好来选择。由此可知，这个过程需要作曲家与Emmy这款软件之间进行的许多合作，D项表述符合题意。
根据空格前一句可知，在Emmy的帮助下，Cope花了两周时间写的歌剧Cradle Falling取得了巨大的成功。由此不难推断出，空格处应该与人们对他的好评有关，因此选择B项：
