问题     Karaoke may never be the same ,thanks to research being presented in Nashville detailing the latest findings in efforts to create a computerized system that makes average singers sound like professionals.
    "Our【S1】______goal is to have a computer system that will【S2】______a poor singing voice into a great singing voice, "said Mark J. T. Smith, a professor of Purdue University, who is working with a graduate student Matthew Lee to create computer models for voice analysis and synthesis. These models break the human singing voice into components that can then be【S3】______to produce a more professional-sounding rendition(演唱)of the original voice.
    Far more work is needed before the system is finished, Smith said. He said the specialized pro grams are, however, able to【S4】______certain important characteristics of a person’s voice, such as pitch(音高),duration.
    Lee will【S5】______the latest research findings during the 145th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Nashville, Tenne. , the nation’s country music capital. He will【S6】______the system by playing before-and-after country music audio clips(片段)to researchers there.
    The system uses a special technique to【S7】______down the original voice. The voice is then【S8】______using a mathematical method which enables the system to resynthesize the voice quickly.  Smith, who【S9】______in signal processing, began working on the underlying "sinusoidal mode"(正弦曲线投影模式)in the mid-1980s. The model enables the human singing voice to be broken into components. More recently, Smith and Lee developed a method for modifying to improve the quality of singing.
    "While we have had success in improving the quality of the singing voice【S10】______in our data base, we also face the challenge of handling all types of voices reliably," Smith said. "There are many challenges in developing a system of this type."

选项
答案 G
解析 modify 用来指“修改，文章、声音等”，本文中另—个单词alter 也含有“修改”的意思。modify主要用来表示有局限性地“改变”，当用于事物时，它所表示的“改变”在程度上要大于alter，在用于人的态度时，它仅仅表示略加修饰，并不含有很大的变化。例如：The industrial revolution modified the whole structure of English society．(工业革命变革了英国的整个社会结构。)alter所表示的“改变”只是细节的或外表的变化，并不表示本质的
