S.Bach(1685-1750)and the Bach-like compositions from Cope's computer.
It all started in 1980 in the United States,when Cope was trying to write an opera.

It then combined the______(59)into new patterns. Before long,the program could compose short Bach-like works.They weren't good,but it was a start.

选项 62._________
A: ones
B: cases
C: others
D:sides
答案 A
解析 固定搭配。tell the difference between… and…分辫出……和……之间的不同。


由后半句“他编了一个电脑程序来帮他谱曲”可知，他在创作新旋律时遇到了困难 (have trouble doing sth.）。故本题选A。


四个选项中loud（大声的）,peaceful（安静的）,classic（经典的，传统的）放在句中都不通顺，只有easy放入空中能使句子符合上下文。本句是说，开始的时候，软件写出的乐谱并不动听。


大脑只有在工作的时候才像一个大数据库。故本题选D。


该空与前一句的take in(吸收）相对应，是一个与其具有相反意义的短语，因此take out(除去，把……带出去）符合句意。该句意思是，他们先是吸收他们听过的所有音乐，然后去除他们不喜欢的，最后再根据留下来的音乐来创作出新的旋律。


根据上题可知，该空应该是left(剩下的，遗留下来的）。故选B。


由后一句中的hundreds of works（几百部作品）可知，科普建立的数据库是huge（庞大的）。故本题选B。


固定搭配。由后面的smaller pieces可知，科普的软件把这些数据拆解（break down) 成小片段。故本题选C。


很显然，这里是把拆解的小片段组合成新的模式。空前the特指上一句中的small pieces。故本题选D。


根据上一段可知，科普的软件是通过分析数据来创作歌曲的，因此这里用analyze。


很显然，作曲家和艾米的共同配合是一个过程（process)。故本题选B。


本句是说，科普聆听艾米写出的音乐片段，从中选取他认为好的。该空用the ones 指代科普认为好的音乐片段。故本题选A。


该处是说，科普创作的歌剧获得巨大成功（a great success)。故本题选C。


科普也得到了他有生以来的最高的评价，但没有人知道他究竟怎样创作出这部歌剧的。“怎样”用how。


该空前后两个半句存在转折关系，因此用but。句意是，科普现在仍然会给艾米反馈，告诉她哪些音乐是他喜欢的，哪些音乐是他不喜欢的，但是现在大部分艰巨的工作是由艾米来完成的。故本题选A。
