根据内容, 回答下面问题:Computer programmer David Jones earns£35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm neleases(推出)two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.

But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款),or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.

“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school.”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in his business are fairly young. Anyway.”David added:“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”

第5题:In which way is David different from people of his age?

A.He often goes out with friends.

B.He lives with his mother.

C.He has a handsome income.

第3题:

Although machines have been around for a long time and people have adapted easily to living with most of them, they haven’t yet learned how to live in harmony with the newest of these: the personal computer. This is so because the widespread use of the personal computer is a relatively new phenomenon. There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family. And if his wife needed to see him, he was unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum (最后通 牒), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to resolve it. The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved. Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter, for any other central gathering place. Universities, or even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if that which is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on. If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes—alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students?

66.We can learn from the passage that the personal computer __________.

A.has been around for a long time

B.has been accepted by all people

C.is not welcome to everyone

D.is not widely used yet

67.The man’s wife was upset because __________.

A.he loved another woman

B.he wanted to divorce her

C.she didn’t have her own computer

D.he was neglecting her and the family

68.The man’s wife threatened to divorce him if __________.

A.he continued to spend long hours with the computer

B.he did not quit his job with the computer company

C.he did not spend time with her parents

D.he did not go to see the doctor with her

69.The marriage was saved __________.

A.with the help of a doctor

B.with the help of a fortune teller

C.after the wife took over the computer

D.after the husband sold the computer

70. What seems to be worrying the author as far as the computer is concerned?

A.People may become isolated from one another.

B.Offices may no longer be necessary.

C.People will no longer read books or magazines.

D.Factory workers will lose their jobs.

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!

______(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:

51._________
A: make
B: tell
C:take
D:understand

答案:B
解析:
固定搭配。tell the difference between… and…分辫出……和……之间的不同。


由后半句“他编了一个电脑程序来帮他谱曲”可知,他在创作新旋律时遇到了困难 (have trouble doing sth.)。故本题选A。


四个选项中loud(大声的),peaceful(安静的),classic(经典的,传统的)放在句中都不通顺,只有easy放入空中能使句子符合上下文。本句是说,开始的时候,软件写出的乐谱并不动听。


大脑只有在工作的时候才像一个大数据库。故本题选D。


该空与前一句的take in(吸收)相对应,是一个与其具有相反意义的短语,因此take out(除去,把……带出去)符合句意。该句意思是,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,最后再根据留下来的音乐来创作出新的旋律。


根据上题可知,该空应该是left(剩下的,遗留下来的)。故选B。


由后一句中的hundreds of works(几百部作品)可知,科普建立的数据库是huge(庞大的)。故本题选B。


固定搭配。由后面的smaller pieces可知,科普的软件把这些数据拆解(break down) 成小片段。故本题选C。


很显然,这里是把拆解的小片段组合成新的模式。空前the特指上一句中的small pieces。故本题选D。


根据上一段可知,科普的软件是通过分析数据来创作歌曲的,因此这里用analyze。


很显然,作曲家和艾米的共同配合是一个过程(process)。故本题选B。


本句是说,科普聆听艾米写出的音乐片段,从中选取他认为好的。该空用the ones 指代科普认为好的音乐片段。故本题选A。


该处是说,科普创作的歌剧获得巨大成功(a great success)。故本题选C。


科普也得到了他有生以来的最高的评价,但没有人知道他究竟怎样创作出这部歌剧的。“怎样”用how。


该空前后两个半句存在转折关系,因此用but。句意是,科普现在仍然会给艾米反馈,告诉她哪些音乐是他喜欢的,哪些音乐是他不喜欢的,但是现在大部分艰巨的工作是由艾米来完成的。故本题选A。
