A

In 1957, Max Vernon Mathews wrote the first computer program called Music, which enabled a computer to create sound and play it back.He was then working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey.It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen­second piece of music he had written.

The computer was so slow that it took an hour to play the seventeen­second piece of music.So Mathews moved the work to a tape player to play the music at a normal speed.He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.

The science­fiction writer Arthur CClarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s.He heard a computer “sing” the song Daisy Bell on devices (设备) and learned about the programs developed by Mathews and other engineers.Clarke noted this technology in his book 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was later made into a movie.

Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.

He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton, which looks like two drum sticks.It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music (管弦乐) played on a computer by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.

Mathews said he believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music.He said a violin always sounds like a violin.But with his Music, the way a violin sounds is unlimited.He did not want computer sounds to replace live music, but he hoped computers would one day be considered serious instruments.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Max Vernon Mathews把音乐与计算机结合起来,创造了魅力无穷的计算机音乐。

1Why did Clarke visit Bell Laboratories?

ATo make his book into a movie.

BTo help Mathews develop Music.

CTo satisfy his own curiosity about music.

DTo gather materials for his literary creation.

解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,Clarke之后在他的一本书里涉及了Mathews的计算机音乐技术。由此可推知,Clarke主要是为获取文学创作素材才去Bell Laboratories的。

2What electronic music tools did Mathews create?

ASomething used to record live music.

BSomething used to create special sound.

CSomething used to improve computer music.

DSomething used to create computer music.

3What does Mathews think of his Music?

AIt is more pleasant to the ear.

BIt can help make more sounds.

CIt will finally replace the violin.

DIt is more popular than live music.

解析:选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知,一般小提琴只能发出一种声音,用MathewsMusic可以让小提琴发出多种声音。

4What can we learn about Mathews?

AHe is the father of computer music.

BHis creation succeeded on the first try.

CHe wrote Music to replace instruments.

DHe changed the functions of computers.

解析:选A 推理判断题。通读全文可知,是Mathews首先创造了计算机音乐,进而发展出一系列与音乐相关的电子产品,在音乐界掀起了一场革命,故他是计算机音乐之父。
