Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
The lights dimmed,the musical hall grew quiet and out walked the conductor (指挥) shiny and white and 4 feet and 3 inches tall.
ASIMO, a robot designed by Honda Motor Co., met its latest challenge Tuesday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony (底特律交响乐团), in a performance of “The Impossible
Dream” from “Man of La Mancha”.
“Hello, everyone,” ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked (模仿) the actions of a conductor,
nodding its head at various sections and gesturing with one or both hands. ASIMO took a final bow to excited shouts from the audience. Later, cellist Yo-Yo Ma joined ASIMO onstage to receive an award for his efforts in music education.
Honda spokeswoman Alicia Jones says it is the first time ASIMO has conducted an orchestra, and it may be the first time any robot has conducted a live performance. But ASIMO has its
limits. ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony's education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can't respond to the musicians.
“It's not a communicative device. It simply is programmed to do a set of gestures,” said Leonard Slatkin, the orchestra's musical director. “If the orchestra decides to go faster, there's nothing the robot can do about it. Hopefully, I keep that under control.”
But several musicians also said ASIMO was more realistic than they expected. “The movements are still a little stiff (僵硬的), but very humanlike, much better than I thought,” Hutchinson said.
36.What's the audience's response to ASIMO's performance?
A.Disappointed.B.Moved.
C.Excited.
D.Astonished.
【答案与解析】 C 推断题。根据第3段中“ASIMO took a final bow to excited shouts from the audience”可推知,观众们对机器人ASIMO 的指挥感到非常兴奋。
37.Whose conducting was ASIMO made to copy?
A.Yo-Yo Ma's.
B.Charles Burke's.
C.Leonard Slatkin's.
D.Alicia Jones's.
【答案与解析】 B 细节题。根据第4段“ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke”可知,机器人ASIMO 模仿的是Charles Burke 的指挥。
38.We can learn from the passage that ASIMO ________.
A.was designed and trained by Yo-Yo Ma
B.can communicate with the audience freely
C.only performs according to the designed programs
D.can change its conducting style freely
【答案与解析】 C 细节题。根据第5段Leonard Slatkin 的话可以看出,ASIMO 只是一个不具备交际能力的机器,它只能按设定好的程序完成一套动作。
