(2019河北衡水中学高三月考）
It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz. A singing robot-the Telenoid, being taught to create jazz with human beings, will be tested out in a project.
Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoid will be rained to imitate（模仿）the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and then connect music with different human emotions.
Previous robots had the ability to find common connections between things. But Chella suggests that a conscious robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections. The Telenoid is of this kind, which makes it superior. “This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating,” says Philippe Pasquier. “A musician needs a physical body.”
Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge. “Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles, a famous band. However, what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs,” he says.
It is not clear how a robot would perform music in a new way. But by imitating humans, the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information. What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own. So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first before it appears at concerts or venues.
1. What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first
A. Communicate with human beings.
B. Connect music with human emotions.
C. Live and work comfortably with human beings.
D. Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer.
2. In Pasquier’s opinion, the Telenoid robot ________.
A will replace human musicians soon
may have trouble performing music
C. will become more popular than The Beatles
D. can find connections between things that humans cannot find
3. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A. The Telenoid-the Future robot musician
B. How to Teach Robots to Perform Music
C. The right music the robots should listen to
D. Differences Between a Human Singer and Robot musician
4. In which part of a newspaper would we most probably read this passage
A. Arts B. Entertainment
C. Science D. Education

I had reached the age of twenty-eight. Still, I 1 whether the letter from my past would make it to me, all these years later. It sounded ridiculous, but it was a creative writing task when I was eighteen. The teacher collected our letters to our 2 in self-addressed（寄给自己的）envelopes with stamps and promised to 3 them ten years later. But since so much time had passed, would he even 4
Thinking back on the 5 , I recalled giving my future self some advice. When you’re eighteen years old, twenty-eight seems like a 6 age, but I wasn’t feeling as mature as I believed my younger self had 7 me to be.
When the letter finally reached me, I opened it 8 . It began, “How much do you bet this letter will never get to you ” It continued to greet me casually as if we were having an IM（instant messaging）chat. As a senior in high school, facing the
9 important exams and college application, my eighteen-year-old self was so
10 ! She was apparently not quite happy and hoped I wouldn’t worry so much in the future, and that I would live in the present and 11 my life!
12 to my belief, my eighteen-year-old self did not have any demands on me, or expectations I might have failed to meet. Instead, she wrote, “I’ll 13 whatever you do. Even if you are not the one I’m imagining now, I’ll support you,because maybe 14 I’m imagining is someone else, but you’re not someone else-you’re me.”
I was 15 , and tears came to my eyes at this self-acceptance（自我接受）time. I had put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best version of myself that I could be. However, I came to realize what I would have accomplished in ten years would pale in comparison（显得逊色）to how I’d feel and who I’d be.

Financial Times gave part of my job to a robot named Amy last week. For years I have been making podcast（播客）version of my column, whereas now I am faced with a tough competition.
To be fair, Amy does something going for her. She 1 (have) a great voice, smooth as velvet. Her 2 (two) advantage is that she’s practically free. She is part of a new service from Amazon that turns text 3 speech, costing nearly nothing. Even more 4 (impress) is her speed, less than two seconds after she receives my
5 (write) text, which means that when I just start to read, “Yesterday Finan...”, she has already finished.
Yet once I got over my distress and listened to her work, I felt 6 (good).I know it’s early days for her, but at the moment Amy is no match for me. She is not superior to me in the work, Listening to her is not like listening to 7 non-English speaker who reads aloud, but to someone without brain,or a heart, or a sense of humor. Her 8 (deliver) is so poor that I don’t even understand, Amy never reads with understanding, never knows when 9 (pause）, and never does irony（反话）. She continues to get It wrong.
Finally, I’m not afraid Amy is about to steal my job and cause me to be dismissed. Only people possess human touch. It is the heart-to-heart communication
10 makes us special, beautiful and irreplaceable.

1. has【解析】考查时态及主谓一致。句意：它有一个非常好的嗓音，像天鹅绒一样顺滑。由上句中的does及下文所述语境可知，本段使用的时态是一般现在时。She为第三人称单数，故填has。

8. delivery【解析】考查名词。主句缺少主语，空格前有形容词性物主代词修饰，所以空格处应填 deliver的名词形式 delivery。
9. to pause【解析】考查不定式。句意：埃米读的时候从不带着理解从不知道什么时候停顿……。这里使用“疑问词+不定式”作宾语。
10. that【解析】考查强调句型。句意：是心与心的交流让我们变得特别、美丽与不可替代。这是一个强调句型，其结构为“It is/was+被强调部分+ that/who+其他部分”，此处强调的是the heart-to-heart communication，指物，故填 that。
