Td Mrgan was brn blind,mentally challenged,and autistic.S he culdn’t see;he culd nt learn like ther children,and he didn’t interact with peple very much.He did nt seem t have much f a chance.Then,when he was tw years ld,he began t play little sngs n his tiny ty pian.He culd play perfectly sme f the children’s tunes he had heard.
Tday,Td wrks as a prfessinal pianist.He plays jazz,Bradway sngs,and classical pieces.After hearing a tune,he can imitate it almst perfectly the first time he plays it.Td desn’t nly imitate;he is creative t.He can change a classical piece t a jazz piece,a jazz piece t a plka,and a plka t a waltz.In additin t the pian,Td can play 13 ther instruments and als can sing.Td’s list f musical heres includes Luis Daniel Armstrng,Mzart,and Beethven.Hw can this be?Hw can such a severely challenged persn be s musically talented?
Td has what is called “savant syndrme”—a cnditin in which a mentally challenged persn has a highly develped talent f a specific kind.Savant syndrme is a mystery t medical researchers.One persn wh is studying savant syndrme is Dr.David Brightn.He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Td.Mst musical savants are limited t simply repeating tunes they pints ut that Td’s ability t cme up with his wn tunes is a giant step beynd memrizatin.
As fr Td,after studying jazz pian at the Rivers Schl in Massachusetts,he attended and graduated frm the famus Berklee Cllege f Music in Bstn.Td is encuraged by his parents as he perfrms all ver the wrld appearing n TV and radi shws.【語篇解讀】 本文是記敘文。文章主要介紹了Td Mrgan生來雙目失明,智力有缺陷,患有自閉癥,但是他極有音樂天賦,已成為專業(yè)的鋼琴家。
1.What des the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Td was nt likely t be cmpletely ’s chances f success in life were ’s ability t learn music was very wuld have few pprtunities t meet thers.解析 句意理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“S he culdn’ very much”可知,他看不見東西,不能像其他孩子那樣學(xué)習(xí),也不怎么與人交流。再結(jié)合下文敘述的他成了一名專業(yè)鋼琴家可知,畫線句說明他似乎沒有成功的可能性。
2.A persn with savant syndrme is .
A.mentally disabled but specially giftedB.scially inactive but musically talentedC.physically disabled but highly intelligentD.psychlgically challenged but physically gifted解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Td has specific kind”可知,患有學(xué)者綜合征的人智力有缺陷,但具有高度發(fā)達(dá)的某種特殊才能。
3.What distinguishes Td frm mst musical savants?
A.His memry.B.His sciability.D.His learning speed.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句“Mst musical beynd memrizatin”可知,大多數(shù)音樂專家都局限于簡(jiǎn)單地重復(fù)他們聽到的曲調(diào),而Td能夠想出自己的曲調(diào),這是他在記憶之外邁出的一大步。據(jù)此可知,創(chuàng)造力使他有別于大多數(shù)音樂專家。
4.What can be cncluded frm the text?
A.Td is a typical case f a serius supprt is vital t Td’s cnnects Td t the wrld arund educatin is a cure t the mentally disabled.解析 推理判斷題。通讀尾部可知,Td在馬薩諸塞州里弗斯學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)爵士鋼琴,之后在波士頓著名的伯克利音樂學(xué)院上學(xué)和畢業(yè),其后在世界各地的電視和廣播節(jié)目上表演。再結(jié)合前文敘述的他生來雙目失明,智力有缺陷,患有自閉癥,似乎沒有成功的可能性可推知,音樂把Td和他周圍的世界聯(lián)系起來。
Thugh there are filters which can change digital phtgraphs t make them similar t a painting,bvius differences still exist.A brand-new painting AI has been made public recently.Much like the pupils f the ld masters,the new AI studies the wrks f great painters like Vermeer and Van Ggh and learns t reprduce their wrks.The AI,named “PaintBt”,is the creatin f a team f researchers frm the University f Maryland,the Bytedance AI Lab and Adbe Research.
PaintBt can nt nly reprduce the wrks f different artists but create new wrks based n phtgraphs in the chsen painter’s characteristic style.T train the AI t imitate a given artist’s technique,the researchers wuld present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings.With each reference painting it studies,the AI gradually learns t recgnize the varius characteristics f the given artist’s technique,including the strke clur,psitin and size—alng with the rder in which each brushstrke shuld be made.
PaintBt uses a technique knwn as reinfrcement learning.During the learning prcess,the AI wuld practice reprducing reference paintings,which it wuld then cmpare with the riginal wrk t see hw similar the tw were and if it was imprving its imitatin f the artist’s style.It takes arund six hurs fr the AI t learn t imitate a given painter.Once the AI has mastered a particular artist’s technique,the researchers culd present it with a new image t reprduce in the same style.The AI then uses what it has learnt t prduce a new painting,putting dwn each brushstrke ne at a time.
After being trained in a given style,PaintBt takes nly arund five minutes t prduce each f its digital masterpieces.The way that PaintBt’s cmpsitins are built up frm thusands f individual brushstrkes makes the AI’s wrks mre realistic than thse nline filters.【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章主要說明了人工智能PaintBt不僅可以復(fù)制不同藝術(shù)家的作品,還可以根據(jù)所選畫家的特點(diǎn)風(fēng)格,根據(jù)照片創(chuàng)作出新的作品。還介紹了其創(chuàng)作畫作的過程和特點(diǎn)。
5.What d we knw abut filters used t change digital phts?
A.They are well received.B.They are nt gd are really fantastic.D.They are disliked by peple.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知,用來改變數(shù)碼照片的濾鏡不夠好。
6.Hw des PaintBt create wrks?
A.It mixes techniques f different learns frm the artist n the just imitates the clr f the given fllws the given style f the paintings.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段以及第五段第一句可知,PaintBt遵循給定的繪畫風(fēng)格創(chuàng)建作品。
7.Which f the fllwing wrds can the authr use t describe PaintBt’s paintings?
A.Lifelike. D.Original.解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,PaintBt的畫很生動(dòng)。
8.What is a suitable title fr the passage?
A.The Mst Intelligent AI Painter PaintBtB.A Brand-new Painting Reprduced By AIC.PaintBt Creates Mre Realistic PaintingsD.Hw PaintBt Imitates Artists’ Techniques解析 標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第二段并結(jié)合全文可知,文章主要說明了人工智能PaintBt不僅可以復(fù)制不同藝術(shù)家的作品,還可以根據(jù)所選畫家的特點(diǎn)風(fēng)格,根據(jù)照片創(chuàng)作出新的作品。還介紹了其創(chuàng)作畫作的過程和特點(diǎn)。C選項(xiàng)“PaintBt創(chuàng)造更逼真的繪畫”最符合文章標(biāo)題。
