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 J
解析 原文中的信息词 down 和 break相匹配组合成break down，其含义是“成为可分的；可进行分析”，例如：The population breaks down into three main groups．(这些人口可分成三个主要的族群。)在原文中表示把原声拆分开，与后面的语境相对应。
