30、 people for membershipB. introduce a newly-opened museumC. display Van Goghs paintingsD. promote an art exhibitionBIn December 2004, as a new professional photographer, I began to work on a project about communities who live on the sea in southeast Asia.I went out to sea with them regularly. On the
31、morning of 26 December, I was due to set out with a group of six fishermen in a small boat. It was about 8 am, and the sea looked different. The water was totally still. I could tell from the way the fishermen were behaving that something wasnt right. They seemed to be discussing whether or not we s
32、hould set off, but the eldest, who operated the boat, gave the go-ahead order.About 20 minutes later, one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance. It looked like a football. It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly. We had no idea that this was a tsunami wave speeding
33、 through the ocean like a tornado (龙卷风).With a big wave you would usually try to get as far out as possible into the open sea. The deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we werent far enough out to be safe, nor close enough to the shore to make it back before the wave would hit the land. We were
34、 trapped.When I realized that the fishermen, who were born on the sea, were afraid, I began to feel really scared. At some point the elder took control. No one panicked or screamed. The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat.I was sitting on one of the benches in t
35、he middle, with my back facing the five-to-seven-meter-high wave. I took hold of my seat firmly, closed my eyes and said goodbye to the world, my family and friends, in my mind.Suddenly there was a huge noise and a sudden movement. The wave had hit the boat, but in the very second of impact, the inc
36、redibly skilled captain got it right. He managed to sail up and on to the wave. Then the boat glided (滑动) from the tip of the wave down behind it, into safe waters. He had saved us all.Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how short life can be. Ive been going back to southeast Asia almost every
37、 year to thank the people who saved my life.24. Before setting out to the sea, the author and the fishermen _.A. talked about the routeB. felt something unusualC. predicted a coming tsunamiD. made insufficient preparations25. What can we learn about the author from the story?A. It was his first time
38、 to explore the sea.B. He felt scared because of his inexperience.C. He thought he would die from the tsunami.D. He was confident that all on board would survive.26. Which of the following words can best describe the captain?A. Kind and determined.B. Smart and generous.C. Calm and skillful.D. Brave
39、and honest.CThe Mozart in the MachineSometime in the coming decades, an external system that collects and analyzes biometric data (生物特征数据) will probably be able to understand whats going on in my body and in my brain much better than me. What will it do to art? Will art remain humanitys last line of
40、 defense against the rise of the all-knowing algorithms (算法)?In the modem world art is usually associated with human emotions. We tend to think that artists are controlling internal psychological forces, and that the whole purpose of art is to connect us with our emotions or to inspire in us some ne
41、w feeling. Consequently, when we come to evaluate art, we tend to judge it by its emotional impact and to believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.In 1952, the composer John Cage composed a musical piece 433 This piece consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds during which no instrument plays an
42、ything. The piece encourages the audience to observe their inner experiences in order to examine what music is and what we expect of it. The message is that it is our own expectations and emotions that define music.If art is defined by human emotions, what might happen once external algorithms are a
43、ble to understand and manipulate human emotions better than Shakespeare, Picasso or Lennon? After all, emotions are not some mysterious forces they are a biochemical process. Therefore, given enough biometric data and enough computing power, it might be possible to hack (入侵) love, hate, boredom and
44、joy.Of all forms of art, music is probably the most sensitive to Big Data analysis, because the inputs are the mathematical patterns of soundwaves, and the outputs are the electrochemical signals. Allow a learning machine to go over millions of musical experiences, and it will learn how particular i
45、nputs result in particular outputs.Therefore, in the long run, algorithms may learn how to compose entire tunes, playing on human emotions as if they were a piano keyboard. Using your personal biometric data, the algorithms could even produce personalized melodies, which you alone in the entire worl
46、d would appreciate.Will this result in great art? That depends on the definition of art. If beauty is indeed in the ears of their listener, then biometric algorithms stand a chance of producing the best art in history. If art is about something deeper than human emotions, biometric algorithms might
47、not make very good artists. But nor would most humans. In order to enter the art market, algorithms wont have to begin by straight away beating Beethoven. It is enough if they outperform Justin Bieber.27. The author mentions the musical piece 433” to _.A. discuss the effect of silence in a musical p
48、ieceB. emphasize its emotional impact on the audienceC. show the significance of emotions in defining musicD. encourage the audience to observe their inner experiences28. What does the underlined word “manipulate” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Influence.B. Cover.C. Present.D. Appreciate.29. What can we learn from this passage?A. Computers will take the place of artists one day.
