After preliminary preparatry（预备的）wrk, Zhang Tian psted a vide f myself-intrductin n majr scial platfrms, talking abut the help and services a patient escrt prvides, as well as sme tips fr a quick and cnvenient medical cnsultatin.

While mst musicians wrk with ther artists when creating their music, Hlly Herndn, an American musician and sund artist wh is nw based in Berlin, takes a different way, wrking with the machine learning sftware called Spawn. The sftware uses artificial（人工的）neural netwrks mdeled after the structure f the human brain. These netwrks learn patterns frm datasets during the training prcess. Based n the data, the netwrks create new material that includes Herndn’s wn vice.
When prducing her album, PROTO, Hlly trained datasets t write new music. The prcess requires the input data f music written by peple r by artificial intelligence（AI）. The neural netwrks then prduce variatins f that music. “Cmputers surprise yu in a way that an instrument desn’t,” Hlly said. S what des music sund like when cmpsed by what is essentially a rbt? It sunds like music frm the future!
But Hlly Herndn isn’t the nly ne explring AI in cmpsitin. Machines have played an increasingly imprtant rle in music ver the last century. The gdfather f cmputer science, Alan Turing, develped the first cmputer created music in 1951．Then in 1980, David Cpe frm the University f Califrnia, Santa Cruz develped EMI—Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and prduces new pieces based n it.
AI might nt take ver the jb f the “pp star” anytime sn, r will it? Miquela Susa is a cmputer-created artist with ver ne millin fllwers n Instagram. “I’m a mdel and singer. And I’m a rbt,” Miquela said. This then raises the questin: Can we reprduce creativity using a cmputer?
Thugh thse questins are nt easy t answer, I believe the next frntier f music lies smewhere in between. I can see the path frward with a new dawn f creativity that cmbines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter f music will certainly becme wnderful as music and AI becme even mre clsely cnnected.
8．What plays an imprtant rle in prducing PROTO?
A．Hlly’s special vice.B．The input f existing music.
C．Hlly’s rich knwledge.D．The use f an instrument.
9．Why des the authr mentin the example f Miquela Susa?
A．T prmte deep thinking n AI musicians.
B．T shw the ppularity f smart rbts.
C．T explain the tasks f cmputer-created artists.
D．T make cmparisns between human and rbtic artists.
10．What is the authr’s attitude twards music c-created by AI and humans?
A．Dubtful.B．Surprised.C．Cnfused.D．Cnfident.
11．What des the text mainly talk abut?
A．The increasing variety f AI music.
B．The develpment f musical cmpsitin.
C．The histry f cmputer-created music.
D．The cmbinatin f AI and musical cmpsitin.

Researchers say they have translated the meaning f gestures（示意动作）that wild chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use t cmmunicate. They say wild chimps cmmunicate 19 specific messages t ne anther with a “vcabulary” f 66 gestures. The scientists discvered this by fllwing and filming grups f chimps in Uganda, and examining mre than 5,000 incidents f these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hbaiter, wh led the research, said that this was the nly frm f intentinal（有意的）cmmunicatin t be recrded in the animal kingdm. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they intentinally sent a message t anther grup member.
“That’s what’s s amazing abut chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the nly thing that lks like human language in that respect.”
Althugh previus research has shwn that apes and mnkeys can understand cmplex infrmatin frm anther animal’s call, the animals d nt appear t use their vices intentinally t cmmunicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hbaiter said.
Chimps will check t see if they have the attentin f the animal with which they wish t cmmunicate. In ne case, a mther presents her ft t her crying baby, signaling: “Climb n me.” The yungster immediately jumps n t its mthers back and they travel ff tgether. “The big message frm this study is that there is anther species（物种）ut there. That is meaningful in its cmmunicatin, s that’s nt unique t humans,” said Dr Hbaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evlutinary bilgist frm the University f Manchester, said the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin（进化）f human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappinting”.
“The vagueness f the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little t cmmunicate, r we are still missing a lt f the infrmatin cntained in their gestures and actins,” she said. “Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd（超出）what ther animal cn vey with nn-verbal cmmunicatin. S, it seems the gulf remains.”
12．What d chimps and humans have in cmmn accrding t Dr Hbaiter?
A．Memrizing specific wrds.B．Understanding cmplex infrmatin.
C．Cmmunicating messages n purpse.D．Using vices t cmmunicate.
13．What did Dr Shultz think f the study?
A．It was well designed but prly cnducted.
B．It was a gd try but the findings were limited.
C．It was inspiring but the result was nt crrect.
D．It was a failure but the methds shuld be praised.
14．What des the underlined wrd “gulf” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Difference.B．argument.C．Balance.D．Cnnectin.
15．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Chimpanzee behaviur study achieved a great success
B．Chimpanzees develped specific cmmunicatin, skills
C．Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdm
D．Chimpanzee language: cmmunicatin gestures translated
