A singing robot is being taughtto create jazz with a human in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoidwill be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and toconnect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can usethese connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things.But Chella suggests that a conscious(有意识的) creature should be able to go a step further andintroduce new connections that result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so thatthey are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, thiscombinationhappens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in amachine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and musicmaking,” says Philippe Pasquier, a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical aboutwhether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are faced with two challenges(挑战). Software that cancopy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human’s differenttastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, b ut thefact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says. It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But bycopying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s robot could provide c lues. What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made byothers. So Chella’s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.32. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Living with human beings in harmony.B. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.C. Copying a human singer’s movements and sounds.D. Learning to communicate with human beings freely.33. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 5 could be replaced by “ “.A. doubtfulB. worriedC. certainD. concerned34. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They are household robots.B. They can talk with researchers.C. They are faced with two challenges.D. They will become human singers.35. What can be concluded from the text?A. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.B. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.C. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.D. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
