21、Look for Friendship in Cyberspace
In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love. 【1】 Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts — or at least the thoughts they type — are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
【2】 They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably. 【3】 Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. 【4】 And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
【5】 But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination fill in the blanks. This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
A．Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first.
B．Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen.
C．All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace.
D．Police can help us to identify the one we want to know.
E．However, some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.
F．Gamers get a lot fun in cyberspace.
G．That is because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.
22、Deepfake technology is now a threat to everyone
Last October, MIT Prof. Sinan Aral warned his Twitter followers that he had discovered a video of himself that he hadn’t recorded supporting an investment fund’s stock-trading algorithm (算法). In reality, it wasn’t Prof. Aral in the video, but an artificial-intelligence creation in his likeness, or what is known as a highly persuasive “deepfake.”
It is striking that scammers (诈骗犯) targeted Prof. Aral, considering he is a leading expert on the study of misinformation online. 【1】 Thanks to a number of free deepfake apps that are just a click away, anyone can become a victim of such a scam.
The term deepfake has come to mean the use of AI to create fake media in which someone appears to be doing or saying what in reality they haven’t done or said. 【2】 But positive use cases are likely to be overshadowed in coming years by the technology’s potential role in financial scam, identity theft, etc.
Another big challenge is that in an online world where people can upload content of unknown names, it can be difficult to find the individuals behind deepfakes. 【3】
One such solution is to detect deepfakes through machine-learning methods. While these detectors can be successful in the short term, people looking to avoid such systems will likely just respond with better technology, creating a continuing and expensive cat-and-mouse game. 【4】 While lawmaking eventually may offer protection against deepfakes, I believe the market could be quicker — provided we, as consumers and citizens, care.
A．The technology isn’t always misused.
B．It also suggests that deepfake technology is now at a turning point.
C．The technology is moving so fast that lawmakers will likely always fall behind.
D．That is why I believe we are going to have to rely on technology to protect us from a problem it helped create.
E．A better approach with a longer time horizon is media provenance systems to confirm the origins of images and videos.
F．To be effective in practice, such systems would have to be widely adopted by all content creators, which will take time.
23、 It’s a Saturday night, the kids are asleep and we have no plans. Before we fall into our routine and watch a movie, I try to talk my husband into playing a card game. Unconvinced, he continues tapping away on his phone. But just before disappearing into the social media rabbit hole, he has an idea. He looks over me and suggests, “Why don’t we try calling one of our friends?”
I look at him with raised brows, as if his suggestion is somewhat ridiculous and perhaps even socially unacceptable. You can’t just call someone out of the blue now…right? But then I realize in the not so distant past, this was the norm. My early teenage years saw me connecting with friends through a phone. We could chat for hours about the latest gossip and news, sometimes hidding under my blanket in order to avoid the chances of being caught by my parents. I could even memorize the phone numbers of loved ones then. I guess these days, they would be on my “Favorites” list in my smartphone.
Today, many of my “favorite” people are followed from a distance through social media, and even they very rarely—if ever—would get an actual call from me. The birth announcement by my oldest friend is received through scrolling the past pictures. The news of a divorce from a couple arrives after a photo of a woman led me on a search for more gossip. Bits of such information, may have been a part of my digital feed for years. The idea of actually picking up the phone to reconnect with a long-lost friend is a frightening one—even seeing the name of an old friend pop up in an incoming call can feel a little afraid.
I ask my husband, “Who would we call?” After tossing around a few names, we agree on some potential candidates—people whose lives have taken them in different directions, but with whom we still share deep friendships.
【1】How does the author feel about her husband’s suggestion at first?
A.Excited. B.Motivated.
C.Nervous. D.Surprised.
【2】With the phone, the author’s teenage years was_____.
A.difficult but interesting B.peaceful and meaningful
C.pleasant and unforgettable D.inconvenient but enjoyable
【3】In the following days, the couple may ____.
A.share more of their private information with others
B.contact more long-lost friends through social media
C.have more personal communications with their friends
D.add more friends’ names to the contact lists in their phones
【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To argue for the need of the contact of long-lost old friends.
B.To tell us about one of his unforgettable experiences.
C.To remind us to turn to phones to keep in toch with friends.
D.To persuade us to follow our friends through the social media.
24、Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?
Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire(获得) off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms. But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its PH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.
However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming(假设) you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.[
As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called biphenyl-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.
【1】Tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of______ .
A. carbon dioxide B. BPA
C. the glass D. the microorganism
【2】According to Paragraph 2, tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours____.
A. contains few microorganisms B. is still safe to drink
C. tastes better D. is most likely undrinkable
【3】What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?
A. Use them after they cool down.
B. Clean them and use them again.[来
C. Throw them away.
D. Refill them with fresh water
【4】Which of the following is true about BPA?
A. It is safe for people to use.
B. It is a kind of new material.
C. It is the main material to make plastic.
D. It can cause great harm to people.
