Noting that he was pleased to meet with Biden again, Xi said China-US relations over the past four years_______(go) through ups and downs, but under the joint stewardship of the two presidents, the two sides have also been engaged in fruitful dialogue and cooperation and their relationship has remained stable on the whole. Xi said that the trajectory (n.发展轨迹，起落) of China-US relations has proved the validity of these experiences and inspirations from the past 45 years of diplomatic ties. When the two countries treat each other _______ partner and friend, seek common ground while shelving differences and help each other succeed, their relationship would make considerable progress. But if they take each other as rival or adversary, pursue vicious competition and seek to hurt each other, they would roil the relationship or even set it back, he added. Noting that humanity is faced with unprecedented (adj.前所未有的) challenges in this turbulent (adj.骚乱的，动乱的) world suffering from frequent conflicts _______ old problems are compounded by new ones, Xi said major-country competition should not be the underlying logic of the times; only solidarity and cooperation can help humanity overcome current difficulties. In_______ age of a new round of flourishing sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation, neither decoupling nor supply-chain disruption is the solution; only mutually (adv.相互地，共同地) beneficial cooperation can lead to common development, said Xi, noting that "small yard, high fences" is not _______ a major country should pursue; only openness and sharing can advance the well-being of humanity. As two major countries, China and the United States should bear in mind the _______(interest) of the whole world, and inject (v.增加) more certainty and positive energy into the turbulent world, he added. Xi underscored (vt.强调) his consistent belief that a stable China-US relationship, which is the world's most important bilateral (adj.双边的) relationship,_______(be) critical not only to the interests of the Chinese and American peoples but also to the future and destiny of the entire humanity. The two sides should bear in mind the well-being of the two peoples and the common interests of the international community, make the wise choice, keep exploring the right way for two major countries to get along well with each other, and realize the long-term, peaceful coexistence on this planet, he added. Xi noted the recent US election, and _______(stress)that China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship remains unchanged. He said that China's commitment to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation as principles for handling China-US relations remains unchanged. China's position of resolutely safeguarding its sovereignty (n.主权), security and development interests remains unchanged, and_______(it)desire to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American peoples remains unchanged, he added. The Chinese president said that China is ready to work with the US government to maintain dialogue, expand cooperation and manage differences, _______ as to strive for a steady transition of the China-US relationship for the benefit of the two peoples. 第三篇 Apple prepares for fresh AI assault on the smart home 苹果智能家居 Source: Financial Times Writer: Richard Waters Artificial intelligence may represent the biggest opportunity in tech since the arrival of the internet,_______ it also poses fundamental questions over how some of the industry’s most powerful companies make money. Apple, _______ began rolling out Apple Intelligence last month, looks as well-placed for the AI era as anyone. In this field context is all. The data that Apple has about its users puts it in a powerful position. But it has yet to show how adding AI to its devices can_______(meaningful) change people’s lives — or prove that it can find new ways to make money from a technology that does not fit neatly into its old business model. Reports this week that Apple is preparing to use AI for a new assault on the smart home is the latest sign that the technology could supercharge some existing tech markets. What isn’t so clear is_______ w this will also supercharge the company’s profits. The new smart home push is likely to come in two parts. Next year, according to a report in Bloomberg, will see the launch of a six-inch, wall-mounted Apple screen that acts as a “hub” to control gadgets around the home. The following year, according to a well-regarded supply chain analyst, _______(bring) Apple-branded home security cameras. This would be Apple’s most important move in the smart home market since it launched HomeKit — software used to control gadgets around the home from Apple devices — _______decade ago. It would also show that Apple is intent on populating your home with more of its own hardware, rather than just giving you a way to connect gadgets from other makers. The first wave of smart home technology underwhelmed. The smart home turned out to be not very smart at all. Speakers such as Amazon’s Alexa-powered Echo and Apple’s HomePod achieved only a low level of language understanding. Customers also found_______ hard to set up and manage the networks of gadgets that the speakers were meant to help them control. Like its main rivals, Apple is now betting that generative AI can breathe new life into this market. If the devices in your home could understand who is in a room or what is going on, they are more likely to be able to respond in useful ways. Apple is well behind Amazon and Google, which already sell fleets of gadgets for the home. But it has some powerful things going for it, including a reputation for privacy and a record in seamless integration. Also, unlike Amazon’s Alexa, Apple devices are not likely_______(interrupt) your home life with random offers of things you might want to buy. The acid test will be whether Apple can apply AI in ways that people find truly useful. For the first incarnation (n.化身；典型) of Apple Intelligence, much is riding on a feature known as App Intents. This will enable developers to “open up” their apps to Apple’s Siri assistant, _______(essential) letting the AI automatically carry out functions inside the apps on behalf of a user. You’re hungry but not sure what to eat? Just ask the Apple hub on the wall or the kitchen counter, and it will recommend a take away and instruct Uber Eats to place the order. As always with AI, the_______(possible) are easy to imagine, though reality often falls short. Whether this can become a significant business for Apple is also unclear. 答案 第一篇was launched WithmarkingthewhoareunlockedItsecureregularly 第二篇have goneaswhereanwhatinterestsisstressedits so 第三篇butwhichmeaningfullyhetherwill bringa itto interrupt essentiallypossibilities 译文 第一篇： 星期五晚上，天舟八号货运飞船在海南省发射升空，成为今年最后一个访问中国天宫空间站的航天器。 据中国载人航天工程办公室介绍，北京时间11月11日11时13分，长征七号运载火箭搭载载荷，从文昌航天发射场发射塔架点火起飞。 该机构表示，在短暂的飞行后，火箭将天舟8号送入预设的低地轨道，货船上的太阳能翼展开，标志着发射任务圆满完成。 该飞船计划在发射后三小时内接近并与空间站的天河核心舱对接。 天舟八号是第15艘访问天宫的飞船，任务是为中国空间站补给推进剂并为神舟十九号航天员提供生活和工作必需品。 他们已经在轨道上待了两周。 据中国空间技术研究院的设计人员介绍，货船内部的材料足以支撑三名船员9个月。天舟八号的前身天舟七号于周日与天宫空间站脱离对接，开始一段单飞时期。 据太空机构称，根据编程它会很快返回地球，飞船的大部分将在再入大气层时烧毁，尽管预计少量碎片将落入南太平洋安全地区。 一个核心模在距离地球约400公里的轨道上，天宫有三个永久部分---块和两个科学舱--并定期与几艘来访的船员和货运飞船连接。 第二篇： 在利马举行的第三十一届亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议上，国家主席习近平会见了美国总统拜登。 习表示，很高兴同拜登再次会晤。过去四年，中美关系经历了风风雨雨，但两国元首共同引领，双方也开展了富有成效的对话与合作，两国关系总体保持稳定。 习说，中美关系的发展轨迹，起落证明了建交45年来的经验和启示的有效性。 当两国以伙伴和朋友的身份相互对待，在搁置分歧的同时寻求共同点并帮助彼此取得成功时，他们的关系会取得相当大的进展。但他补充说如果他们把对方视为对手或敌人，追求恶性竞争并寻求伤害对方，他们将会搅乱关系，甚至使其倒退。 注意到人类正面临前所未有的(形容词)在这动荡的(尤指骚乱的，动乱的)中的挑战世界正在经历频繁的冲突，旧问题被新问题加剧。习表示，大国竞争不应成为时代的基本逻辑;只有团结合作才能帮助人类克服当前的困难。在新一轮科技革命和产业变革蓬勃发展的时代，脱钩和供应链中断都不是解决办法;只有互利合作才能实现共同发展，习说，“小院高墙”不是大国应有的追求;只有开放和共享才能促进全人类的福祉。 作为两个大国，中国和美国应该从全世界的利益出发，为动荡的世界注入更多的确定性和正能量。 习强调，他一贯认为，稳定的中美关系是世界上最重要的双边关系，不仅关系到中美两国人民的利益，而且关系到整个人类的前途和命运。 双方要着眼两国人民福祉和国际社会共同利益，作出明智选择不断探索大国关系正确相处之道，实现两国在地球上长期和平共处，他补充道。 习注意到最近的美国大选，并强调中国建立稳定、健康和可持续的中美关系的目标没有改变。 他说，中国坚持相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢是处理中美关系的原则，这一原则没有改变。 中国坚决维护国家主权、安全和发展利益的立场没有改变，弘扬中美人民传统友谊的愿望没有改变。 中国国家主席表示，中方愿与美国政府一道，保持对话，扩大合作，管控分歧，推动中美关系平稳过渡，造福两国人民。 第三篇： 人工智能可能是自互联网诞生以来科技领域迎来的最大机遇，但同时也对一些行业巨头的盈利模式提出了根本性的挑战。苹果公司自上月推出苹果智能（Apple Intelligence）以来，似乎和其他企业一样，正站在人工智能时代的有利位置。在人工智能领域，公司底蕴至关重要。苹果公司掌握的大量用户数据，为其提供了竞争优势。 然而，苹果公司还没有展示出通过在其设备中融入人工智能技术，如何实质性地改变人们的生活——或者证明该公司能够从这项与其传统商业模式不尽相符的技术中找到新的盈利途径。本周的报道显示，苹果正准备借助人工智能技术对智能家居市场发起新一轮的冲击，这有可能是该技术推动现有科技市场发展的最新信号。但目前还不清楚的是，这一策略是否也会显著提升公司的利润。 苹果公司新的智能家居推进计划可能分为两个阶段实施。据彭博社报道，明年苹果将推出一款六英寸的壁挂式屏幕，作为控制家中各种设备的“中心”。根据一位资深供应链分析师的说法，第二年，苹果还将推出自家品牌的家庭安全摄像头。 这将是苹果自十年前推出HomeKit（一款能从苹果设备控制家中各种设备的软件）以来，在智能家居领域迈出的最重要一步。这也表明，苹果不仅仅满足于让用户通过其设备连接来自其他厂商的产品，也有意将更多自家的硬件产品带入用户的家庭生活中。 第一波智能家居技术的表现并未达到预期。实际上，智能家居的“智能”程度并没有达到人们的期望。比如亚马逊的Alexa驱动的Echo以及苹果的HomePod这样的智能音箱，只有低水平的语言理解能力。此外，用户在设置和管理这些本应该由智能音箱帮助他们控制的设备网络时，也遇到了不少困难。 与其主要竞争对手一样，苹果目前也押注生成式人工智能技术能为市场带来新的活力。如果家中的设备能够识别房间内有哪些人或者正在发生什么事情，那么它们就更有可能以更加实用的方式做出响应。 在智能家居领域，苹果相较于亚马逊和谷歌显得有些落后，这两家公司已经销售了众多智能家居产品。不过，苹果拥有一些显著的优势，比如在隐私保护方面的良好口碑以及产品间的无缝整合表现。此外，与亚马逊的Alexa不同，苹果的设备不太可能通过随机推送你可能想要购买的东西来干扰你的家庭生活。 真正挑战在于，苹果公司能否将人工智能以一种人们真正觉得有用的方式应用到实际中。对于苹果智能的初步版本，其成败很大程度上取决于一个名为“App Intents”的功能。这个功能将允许开发者“开放”他们的应用程序给Siri助手，从而让人工智能能够在应用程序中代表用户自动执行特定功能。 饿了却不知道想吃什么？只需问问挂在墙上的苹果中心或是厨房台面上的设备，它会为你推荐外卖，并通过Uber Eats帮你下单。和所有的人工智能一样，人们很容易想象到其潜力和应用场景，但现实往往未能达到预期。苹果能否将此发展成为一项重要业务，目前还不得而知。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
