With artificial intelligence (AI) and rbtic technlgy imprving at impressive rates,there are sme wh wrry that there’s a risk f artistic and creative peple being replaced.A new study by the Krean Institute f Industrial Technlgy,hwever,is shwing exactly why that can’t and shuldn’t happen.It all started when the Suth Krean cmpany psed this questin:Can rbts replace cnductrs?
Over a year ag,wrk t develp autmatn (自動化) began.At first,it was designed like a machine,and didn’t live up t expectatins.Then the cmpany sught ways t imprve it.In the end,it was given tw arms with jints t cpy wrists and elbws,allwing it t mve a stick similarly t hw a human cnductr wuld mve it.It was named the EveR 6 rbt,and stands at 1.8 meters.It was finally time t figure ut hw it culd fllw thrugh n its musical rle.
“We gt invlved in this prject t see hw far rbts can g in mre creative fields like the arts,and what the challenges are,” Dng-wk Lee,a senir researcher at the Krean Institute f Industrial Technlgy said.
In rder t pull this ff,Dng-wk Lee cperated with the Busan Philharmnic Orchestra.The 12-minute piece they planned t perfrm,“Feel” by Il-hn Sn,was created specifically fr this event.It was created with the strengths f bth EveR 6 and the human cnductr,S-yel Chi,in mind.
T pull ff this impressive perfrmance,the rbt was preprgrammed t cnduct thrugh 30 cycles f beat patterns.Meanwhile,it was up t the human cnductr t lead the rchestra in creating an imprvisatinal (即興的) scre,adding depth t the therwise planned piece.
Tgether,they pulled ff a masterful perfrmance that the audience seemed mre than happy t have had the pprtunity t witness it first-hand!
With the cncert having gne s well,this is nly the start f EveR 6.Still,n matter the imprvements they’re able t make t this Andrid rbt,the human cnductr isn’t cncerned abut being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy t the rbts,” S-yel Chi said,“but the musical and artistic aspects t a human cnductr.”

Chatbts cmmunicate thrugh speech r text.Bth rely n artificial intelligence technlgies like machine learning and natural language prcessing (NLP),which is a branch f artificial intelligence that teaches machines t read,analyze and interpret human language.This technlgy gives chatbts a baseline fr understanding language structure and meaning.NLP,in essence,allws the cmputer t understand what yu are asking and hw t apprpriately respnd.
With develpments in deep learning and reinfrcement learning,chatbts can interpret mre cmplexities in language and imprve the dynamic nature f cnversatin between humans and machine.Essentially,a chatbt tries t match what yu’ve asked t an intent that it understands.The mre a chatbt cmmunicates with yu,the mre it understands and the mre it learns t cmmunicate like yu and thers with similar questins.Yur psitive respnses reinfrce its answers,and then it uses thse answers again.

Passage 3 (2024湖南婁底一模)
主題:快時尚企業(yè)衣服生產(chǎn)過剩 詞數(shù):369
難度:★★★★★
The impact f fast fashin n the envirnment is significant.Recently Zara,ne f the largest fast-fashin retailers (零售商) in the wrld,put frth a cncept that nly sustainable fabrics are used in clthing prductin.But hw can Zara ever be sustainable? They prduce arund 450 millin garments (衣服) a year and release 500 new designs a week,abut 20,000 a year.Zara’s fast-fashin mdel has been s successful that it has inspired an entire industry t fllw them.
Clthing prductin dubled frm 2012 t 2022.The average cnsumer bught 60 percent mre clthing in 2022 than in 2012,but kept each garment half as lng.And less than ne percent f all clthing prduced glbally is recycled.
I spend a lt f time reading the crprate scial respnsibility reprts f large brands and interviewing micr-t-small sized enterprises t see hw they apprach sustainability.The largest significant difference between them is culture.
Small brands fcus n creating a culture f sustainability by using strategies like prducing made-t-rder,s they are nt making mre than what is sld.Mst small brands are pting t wrk under an “anti-fashin calendar”.They chse nt t fllw the intense seasnal calendar that fashin functins under.They d this because waste is ne f their biggest cncerns.They als design clthing t be f the highest quality,ensuring durability and lngevity,s yu may keep it lnger.
Fast fashin is a “grw r die” business,and the fast-fashin grwth mdel used by all large cmpanies is predicated n limitless grwth.Large glbal crprate retailers are nt seeking t change their fundamental business mdel r create cultures f sustainability.That wuld require re-wrking their entire business structure and ultimately hurt their bttm line.
I wuld start t believe Zara and ther large fashin brands had gd intentins t fight climate change if they started t lk at hw t mve away frm their cntinuus fferings f weekly new prducts.They need t intrduce alternative sustainable business mdel practices.One small step culd be t ffer repair r tailring services.Tailring creates clthes that fit perfectly,subsequently increasing their emtinal value,s that we lve them and keep them lnger.
