    Composer David Cope is the inventor of a computer program that writes original works of classical music;. It took Cope 30 years to develop the software. Now most people can’ t tell the difference between music by the famous German composer J. 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.【B1】______At first this music was not easy to listen to. What did Cope do? He began to rethink how human beings compose music. He realized that composers’ brains work like big databases. First, they take in all the music that they have ever heard.【B2】______Finally, they make new music from what is left. According to Cope, only the great composers are able to create the database accurately, remember it, and form new musical patterns from it.
    Cope built a huge database of existing music. He began with hundreds of works by Bach. The software analyzed the data: it broke it down into smaller pieces and looked for patterns. It then combined the pieces into new patterns.【B3】______They weren’ t good, but it was a start.
    Cope knew he had more work to do—he had a whole opera to write. He continued to improve the software. Soon it could analyze more complex music. He also added many other composers, including his own work, to the database.
    A few years later, Cope’s computer program, called "Emmy" , was ready to help him with his opera. 【B4】______Cope listened to the computer’ s musical ideas and used the ones that he liked. With Emmy, the opera took only two weeks to finish. It was called Cradle Falling, and it was a great success!【B5】______
    Since that first opera, Emmy has written thousands of compositions. Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesn’ t like of her music, but she is doing most of the hard work of composing these days!
A. By developing a computer software, David Cope aimed to write an opera.
B. Cope received some of the best reviews of his career, but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work.
C. He was having trouble thinking of new melodies, so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies.
D. The process required a lot of collaboration between the composer and Emmy.
E. Before long, the program could compose short Bach-like works.
F. Then they take out the music that they dislike.
【B5】
选项
答案B
解析 根据空格前一句可知，在Emmy的帮助下，Cope花了两周时间写的歌剧Cradle Falling取得了巨大的成功。由此不难推断出，空格处应该与人们对他的好评有关，因此选择B项。
