One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told

him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor

of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the

ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.

The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America,

though the British and Americans both speak English.

The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers.

For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But

Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.

The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually

use football, rubber and post while Americans prefer to use soccer, eraser and mail.

C. Information abroad D. Hiding the feelings

Humans feed thousands of songs to AI ( 人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic

information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created

music is similar to those that any musician might compose.

Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car.

This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to

assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.

Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new

piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the

mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to

download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.

Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example,

Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to

create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which

contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.

The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human

composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried

about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more

similar to human-composed music.

Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the

other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers.

Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the

machines to take care of other procedures.

8. What is the new development about AI in the text?

A. Its progress in replacing humans. B. Its ability in music composing.

C. Its influence on human emotions. D. Its focus on changing human mind.

9. Why could Yacht create the popular new album?

A. Because they stuck to their former music style.

B. Because they went beyond themselves with AI.

C. Because they put in more than ten original songs.

D. Because they insisted on composing by themselves.

10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Problems about AI composing. B. Limitations of AI technology.

C. Challenges for human composers. D. Suggestions to human musicians.

11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology?

A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring D. Confused.
