【正文】 nalyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。This technology is quite popular nowC. （1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。 If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North Americaand their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic wrapped snacks, their plastic waste would likely still be around four centuries later. Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world39。 No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, the earth39。 This isn39。s the main trouble marine animals face according to the text? A.t know the solution of plastics waste.B.An environmental report.D.可知選B。7．閱讀理解 Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly.Pace of life of animals.Time perception of animals.（2）What does Kevin Healy39。They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.D.根據(jù)第一段中的“According to a team of researchers，an animal39。s（獵物）position”可知，虎甲蟲的移動比眼睛快，基本上是盲目的，這就要求它不時地停下來，重新評估獵物的位置，由此可知，為了抓住移動的獵物，虎甲蟲需要不時地停下來確定獵物的位置，故選C。 The whales had bee desensitised to the noise of approaching boats and were being struck by them, often seriously. We never thought that this could be something that could kill, recalls (回憶) Andre, who is the director of the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics at the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona. As for dealing with the root cause of the problem, the UN39。 It was not an easy task. Sound waves don39。 （4）考查細節(jié)理解。Try to run as fast as it can.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了對動物時間感知的研究。Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.They can think very deeply before they act.B.Impressive abilities of animals.C. 是一篇環(huán)境保護類閱讀，因此選C。根據(jù)第四段中的“Some are harmed visibly, stuck by abandoned things made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly.”一些明顯受到傷害，被塑料制成的廢棄物品卡住了。B.Treating plastics as food.（3）What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph? A.To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection.D. she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading.可知，與以前的機器人主播不同的是，辛曉萌讀起來不像一臺冷冰冰的機器，就像是一個活生生的人，她讀新聞的時候臉上的肌肉能夠伸展和放松，面部反應也發(fā)生了變化，由此可知，以前的機器人主播讀新聞時面無表情，故選A。t replace human news anchors in the near futureD.They could interact with audience.（3）What do we know about the third technology? A. would still be years away可知，但是，即使這些進展順利，一種廣泛用于保護高危人群的授權疫苗仍需數(shù)年時間，也就是說如果人體試驗進展順利的話，短期內(nèi)仍無法獲得授權疫苗，故選C。works very well39。pregnant women in Africa will be the first to benefit from the vaccine.C. Researchers say they will push ahead with developing the needed virus vaccine. There are many existing vaccines for other disease that use this type of technology, while there are relatively few DNA173。 Tests in humans could begin in months. But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk 173。故選D。 SMAs方法是對這些固定想法的根本挑戰(zhàn)。根據(jù)第二段中的“In contrast to onetoone visits, SMA provide a longer appointment timeframe as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers.”可知SMAs模式為患者提供了更長的預約時間，也為患者提供了更好地與醫(yī)生接觸的機會，同時還能從同行那里獲得額外的信息和支持。purchaseB. reputation.C.故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的“so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. ”以便醫(yī)生能夠及早采取行動，預防死亡或嚴重疾病，可以猜測出，人工智能將用于對高危病人進行“篩查”。To stress the importance of health care.C.By observing changes in blood cells.B. The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen at risk patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: I am so excited about this form of technology. Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was—and signals a pletely new example in the way we manage healthcare. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。這是一個很少有人能負擔得起的價格。“這是一塊空白的畫布，我們可以一起做一些美好的事情。” （1）考查主旨大意。They are inconvenient to carry.C.The Galaxy Fold still has many problems.C.t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be fol
