21、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.

24、   My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores(杂务)to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.

Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked. I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes(设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.

I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters(滤网).

No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

That gave me the courage to keep going. Then, in 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million, I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.

Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules—in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.

【1】Why did James Dyson decide to make a bagless vacuum cleaner?

A.Because he lost his father at an early age.

B.Because he didn't like to do household chores.

C.Because he could find a replacement for the old cleaner

A.Dyson found the design of the cleaner easier than expected.

B.Dyson was in financial difficulties while designing his cleaner.

C.Dyson's wife had to give art lessons to make money for five years.

D.Dyson was discouraged by the tough times in designing his cleaner.

【3】What happened to Dyson's design of vacuum cleaner?

A.It went into production immediately.

B.It got a licensing agreement very quickly

C.It had the same business model like others.

D.It was not accepted by major vacuum makers.

I even made shocking ______  on purpose, such as asking a ______ if I could play soccer in his backyard. The crazy thing? They all said yes. In the end, my 10-day journey ______ with 51 yeses and 49 noes.

In the ______ of my rejection journey, I learned that when we shy away from rejection we reject ourselves and our ideas before the world ever has a ______ to pay attention to and reject us. That comes to be the greatest ______ I’ve learned — no matter what, don’t be ______ by the world.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Sally had anxiety disorder trouble that made her fail to speak in social situations. I am a nurse and use Bella to help children in my community, to bring them comfort and confidence the way only a dog can. I thought back to the day when I'd first brought Bella to the school.

That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room. “Sally hasn't spoken outside her home in two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when she noticed my dog.

“This is Bella,”I said.“She does tricks. Would you like to see?”

Sally nodded. I motioned with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally's eyes lit up. I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was a natural with Bella, maybe because she couldn't rely on the spoken word herself. Bella sensed that and responded. Soon Sally was able to put Bella through her paces all on her own. I could see her standing taller, more sure of herself each time we met.

One morning in March when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper, “Good dog.” Sally didn't take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later,she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose.

Now, five-year-old Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class,with Bella, my trained dog, sitting calmly by her side. All the eyes of her classmates were focused on Sally. They were waiting for her to speak. It was June—only one week of school left—but they had never heard her voice. Not once.

Paragraph 1:

But not a word came out.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination.
