We started with the beginnings of computer-generated music.Max Vernon MathewsMax Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools so that people could use computers, as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played. In 1957, Max wrote the first computer program. Music, to enable a computer to create sound and play it back. The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.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.Norio OhgaSony Corporation official Norio Ohga helped to develop, the compact disc in the late 1970s.He pushed for CDs to be larger, and with a longer playing time. He wanted them to hold seventy-five minutes so that they could store all of Beethovens Ninth Symphony on one disc. This way, listeners could enjoy the musical work without any break. The compact disc changed the electronics industry and the way people listened to music.Hubert Joseph SchlafyHubert Joseph Schlafly was an electrical engineer who helped change the way actors, politicians and other people speak on television. In 1950, he and two other men developed the teleprompter. One co-worker, Fred Barton, was an actor. He had an idea for a tool that would help television actors read their lines without having to memorize them. The first teleprompter involved a person who turned a long piece of paper printed with tall letters, As the actor read the lines, another person would, move the paper ahead on the device. Later versions used television screens to show the words that were to be read.56. Why did Mathews give up using computers to create sound and play it back?A. Because he wanted to use computers as musical instruments.11. Because he couldnt create sound on computers.C. Because he wanted to enjoy musical work without any break.D. Because he wanted to find better ways to create sound with modern technologies.57. Whats the meaning of the underlined word teleprompter?A.投影仪 B.电子提词机 C.屏蔽仪 D.显示屏5S. From the writing, we can learn that .A. Mathews first computer program could play the music at a normal speedB. the Groove program was the first computer program made for live performances by Hubert Joseph Schlafly.C. owing to Norio Ohga, people can enjoy all of Beethovens Ninth Symphony on one disc.D. only Hubert Joseph Schlafly and Fred Barton worked together to develop the prompter.BFashions have a lot of rules. Most of there, however, arc just wrong. But theres one rule that goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are slimming. It all conies down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each square arc the same in size, yet he white hole looks bigger than the black hole.In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with the naked eye(肉眼) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of Venus(金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter(木星)in the night sky. He knew something strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasnt sure what it was. Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2020, they figured it out.Our visual system operates via two main channels: on neurons(神经元)that are sensitive to light things and “off” neurons that arc sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off” neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background一the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light on” neurons behaved unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark background caused a greater response in these neurons.This makes sonic sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, youd want to he able to take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarges light objects on a dark background could be very useful. However, its not that hard to see dark objects in the light of day. It has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets一the brighter appearance of Venus in the night sky makes it look bigger than the darker Jupiter.59. What did Galileo Galilei believe according to Paragraph 2?A. The neurons led to the difference.B. There was something wrong with his telescope.C. The difference was caused by his visual illusion.D. Things were bigger when seen through telescopes.60. What do we know about the off neurons?A. They are sensitive to light objects.B. Their behavior cant be predicted.C. They behave differently from person to person.D. Their activeness improves with the contrast of colors.61. What does the author think of the phenomenon?A. It makes people feel puzzled. B. It brings great harm to people.C. It is more common among youths. D. It is beneficial to peoples evolution.62. What is the text mainly about?A. Why we look thinner when in black. B. What visual illusions bring to people.C. How we arc affected by the fashion rules. D. Whether peoples visual system is different.CChina has completed its home-grown BeiDou Navigation(导航)Satellite System (BDS) with the successful launch of two more BDS-3 satellites, 19 in all, and has started providing services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)since the end of 2020. The BDS, which will compete against the US Global Positioning System(GPS), will provide high-precision, reliable positioning, navigation and timing services anywhere in the world by the end of 2020.The Belt and Road Initiative is an ambitious effort to improve regional cooperation and connectivity in a trans-continental range. The initiative aims to strengthen infrastructure(基础设施), trade, and investment links between China and some 65 other countries. It is also expected to increase Beijings influence in these countries.This is a key step for the DDS developing from a Chinese home system to a regional and then a global navigation system said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. China plans to launch another 11 BDS-3 satellites between the end of 2020 and 2020. China developed the BDS through a unique technological approach, contributing Chinese wisdom to the theory and construction of international satellite navigation systems.Altogether 18 BDS satellites have been sent into space in 2020, making this year the most intensive launch of the BDS satellites. They improved their work efficiency by reforming the management process. The number of satellite staff at the launch center has been reduced by nearly half, and the testing time before launch has been shortened by nearly a third. In the CAST production base in Beijing, several BDS satellites are being manufactured at the same time. They try to improve intelligent manufacturing capability, and cut down production times. Construction of the BDS-3 system has accelerated.Once the BDS is fully completed, it will be the fourth global satellite navigation system after the US CPS system, Russias GLONASS and the European Unions Galileo. India too, is building its navigational system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with an operational name of NAVIC.63. When can the BDS offer global services?A. In 2020. B. In 2020. C. In 2020. D. In 2025.64. What can the BDS do now?A. Take the place of the CPS of the USA. B. Serve the Belt and Road Initiative.C. Control the Belt and Road countries. D. Watch anyone anywhere in the world.65. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. the unique characters of the BUS.C. The efforts of the staff of the BDS.B. The Chinese technology of the BUS.D. The difficulties the BDS has to deal with.66. What can be the best title for the text?A. Chinas BDS is approaching its goal step by step.B. Chinas BDS has become the fourth global satellite navigation system.C. Chinas BDS helps BRI increase Beijings international influence.D. The unique technological approach makes Chinas BUS outstanding.DChildren who use screens for seven hours or more a day arc showing signs that their brain cortex(大脑皮层)is thinning prematurely(过早地), according to a new major US study.The ongoing $300 million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and shows results of the effects of technology on children. The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional develop
