A
Researchers at Georgia Tech have been working to improve a musical robot called Shimon. Now Shimon doesn’t simply play music, he also writes the words to his own songs and sings them.
Shimon has been around for quite a while as a musical robot. Even back in 2015, he was playing with other musicians at the Kennedy Center in New York. What Shimon could do back then was already pretty cool.
Using AI(人工智能), Shimon was taught to write his own music. ① For Shimon, that meant he could not only make up his own music, but do it in real time, while playing with other musicians.
Now Shimon can write the words to his own songs. ② Shimon learned to write the words for the songs the same way he learned to write music—by being “fed” thousands and thousands of examples. Shimon was trained on the lyrics (歌词) to 50, 000 songs.
Georgia Tech professor Gil Weinberg, who leads the Shimon project, gets Shimon going with a starting idea. Shimon then writes the lyrics based around that idea. “You’ll get a word like ‘storm’, and then it’ll produce a lot of relational words, like ‘wind’ and ‘rain’.” He says Shimon gets many ideas, keeps the good ones, and builds on them.
③ To give Shimon a voice, the Georgia Tech team worked with experts at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain. The voice was created using AI and sounds very much like a man.
④ To show off Shimon and his new abilities, the researchers have recorded one of Shimon’s songs, called “Into Your Mind”. They have made a video for the song, which is out on Youlube.
Later this spring, the team plans to put out an album(专辑) of about 8—10 of Shimon’s songs. There are also plans for Shimon to go on tour with a band to play and sing his songs live.
For Mr Weinberg, that’s the main goal behind the Shimon project—not to have robots take over, but to have robots and humans make something beautiful together.
( )1. The aim of the first paragraph is ________.
A. to give an introduction B. to lead a music topic
C. to explain a science problem D. to make a conclusion
( )2. Paragraphs 3—5 mainly talks about ________.
A. the number of the songs he writes B. the process to write his own songs
C. the history of Shimon’s development D. the reasons for developing a musical robot
( )3. Where can the sentence “Singing songs is another story” be best put?
A. ①. B. ②. C. ③. D. ④.
( )4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Shimon was produced before 2015.
B. Shimon writes songs beginning with his own ideas.
C. Researchers are expecting more things from Shimon.
D. “Into Your Mind” is a song written by Shimon with the AI voice.

A team of Chinese researchers have recently developed a new type of self-powered flexible and transparent electronic skin to monitor subtle human activities, shedding light on the future of wearable electronics. This new e-skin integrates a flexible transparent supercapacitor(超级电容器)as an energy storage device with a stretchable transparent strain sensor(应变传感器). Thanks to its mechanical softness, the integrated e-skin can be directly attached to various parts on the body.
As the largest organ of human body, skin is responsible for multiple major functions such as protection, perspiration, regulation of body temperature, and sensory stimulation(感觉刺激). It forms the basis of people’s physical interactions with the outside world.
The ideal e-skin should be highly sensitive, self-powered, and suitable for the human skin. “Inspired by sensory functions and performance of real human skin, we have made the new e-skin both flexible and transparent to serve multiple functions. After charging, it is capable of monitoring of people’s subtle physical signals and multi-scaled activities in real-time. It can measure a person’s pulse, tell when they are swallowing, and detect other body movements,” said Lan Wei, a professor at the School of Physical Science and Technology of Lanzhou University and the leader of the research team.
E-skin is the core of future wearable electronic devices. The new invention can be applied in smart health care, human-machine interaction, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. For example, it could help surgeons control surgical robots more precisely, enable people to “touch” over long distances, and create more immersive gaming experiences.
Going ahead, the research team will focus on strengthening the sensory capacity and power supply of the e-skin, making it even more like human skin, which will in turn make it more adaptive to various future applications.
( )5. What is the purpose of the new wearable e-skin?
A. To monitor human activities. B. To regulate body temperature.
C. To slow down the aging of human skin. D. To improve the flexibility of human skin.
( )6. What is special about the new e-skin according to Lan Wei?
A. It has large battery storage. B. It can be attached to human skin directly.
C. It can meet diverse functional requirements. D. It is highly sensitive to environmental change.
( )7. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the new e-skin?
A. Its target users. B. Its medical value. C. Its working theory. D. Its application potential.
( )8. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Electronic Skin: A New Breakthrough B. Electronic Skin: A Technology Reform
C. Electronic Skin: The Welfare to Human Health D. Electronic Skin: The Model of Wearable Devices
