问题     While it may be unlikely for a computer to write a best seller, a technology expert has created a computer program that writes its own fiction stories with minimal user input. The program, called MEXICA, is the first to generate original stories based on computerized representations of emotions and tensions between characters.
    An Internet survey was carried out to see the popularity of the computer-generated stories, other computerized stories and stories written solely by a human. The result was that readers ranked MEXICA stories highest for flow and coherence, structure, content, suspense and overall quality. Rafael Pérezy Pérez, the creator of MEXICA, explained that a story might begin with something as basic as, "The enemy wounded the knight. The princess cured the knight. The knight killed the enemy. The knight rewarded the princess. The end. "
    The program reads characters as variables (变量) and assigns a numerical value, between a continuum(连续体) from -3 to +3, to emotional connections that are defined as either amorous (多情的) or non-amorous. The numerical value is equivalent to the degree of emotion, with -3 being intense hate and +3 being intense love. The program also understands story tension, such as linking the word "wounded" with tension. This too is assigned a numerical value.
    Once these clusters of emotional links and tensions are established, the program begins what is called an "engagement reflection cycle". Basically this involves searching a database of story actions and other happenings, which are called "atoms", and determines the best match for the characters and contexts for that moment.
    The process repeats itself again and again until the system can no longer make any matches. At this point, the computer analyzes the story for coherence and "interestingness". The program views a story as interesting when tension levels increase and fall throughout the piece. If the program finds that the story is boring or incoherent in places, it will replace or insert atoms until a version is thought to be satisfactory.
What if the computer finds the story lacking in coherence?
选项 A、A new atom is inserted where incoherence is found.
B、The computer will rewrite the incoherent part.
C、The computer will alert the human operator.
D、The tension level will be fine tuned accordingly.
答案A
解析 事实题。题干提问如果计算机发现故事缺乏连贯性会怎么样。根据关键词lacking in coherence定位到文章末句，如果程序发现故事情节枯燥或者缺乏连贯性，它将会replace or insert atoms until a version is thought to be satisfactory，即替换或插入一些情节(atoms)直至达到读者满意为止。
