一： 网络会议麦克风质量的影响

1.__________ the era of online meetings, platforms like Zoom are widely used. However, have you ever paid attention to 2.__________ your computer microphone alters the sound of your voice? Research has found that the quality of the microphone 3.__________(matter) a great deal! High - quality audio can make the speaker seem more attractive and 4.__________(convince), while low - quality audio can make the speaker less appealing.

Brian Scholl, a cognitive scientist at Yale University, noticed this problem during the pandemic when his 5.__________(department) meetings became virtual. One colleague, using 6.__________ microphone of an older laptop, had a tinny - sounding voice, and his opinions didn't seem as persuasive as usual. On the other hand, another colleague, 7.__________ participated from his home recording studio with professional audio 8.__________(equip), seemed to have more profound ideas.

So, Scholl and his lab members designed an experiment. They first recorded high - quality audio of people speaking in various scenarios, and then processed these recordings 9.__________ low - quality versions with a tinny sound. After that, they played these audio recordings to hundreds of people through an online research platform. Listeners had to answer questions about 10.__________ they thought of the speaker after

listening. The results showed that low - quality audio made people think the speaker was less attractive, less intelligent, and less convincing.

答案：

1-5：In; how; matters; convincing; department's

6-10：the; who; equipment; into; what

译文：网络会议麦克风质量的影响

在如今的线上会议时代，像Zoom这样的平台被广泛使用。但你有没有注意过电脑麦克风对声音的改变呢？研究发现，麦克风的质量可太重要啦！高质量音频能让说话者显得更有吸引力和说服力，低质量音频则会让说话者魅力大减。

耶鲁大学的认知科学家Brian Scholl在疫情期间部门线上会议时发现了这个问题。一位用旧笔记本电脑麦克风参会的同事，声音听起来刺耳，他的观点也没平时那么有说服力；而另一位在家庭录音室用专业音频设备参会的同事，观点听起来就深刻多了。

于是，Scholl和他实验室的成员设计了一个实验。他们先录制了人们在各种场景下说话的高质量音频，然后把这些音频处理成低质量版本，让声音听起来刺耳。接着，他们通过在线研究平台把这些音频播放给数百人听。听完后，听众要回答对说话者的看法。结果显示，低质量音频会让人们认为说话者不那么有吸引力、不聪明，也不太能让人信服。

 

 二：与海豚的双向交流探索

Dolphins are well - known for their 1.__________(intelligence) and strong social skills. They communicate using unique clicks and whistles and even seem to recognize their own “names”. With the great progress of artificial intelligence, some scientists dream of understanding 2.__________ dolphins are saying someday. Now, some researchers

think that two - way communication 3.__________ dolphins may not be far away.

Google, in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology and the nonprofit Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), has announced progress on the first large language model (LLM) for dolphin vocalizations, called DolphinGemma. Scientists from WDP, who 4.__________(study) Atlantic spotted dolphins for 40 years, provided acoustic data of this species 5.__________(train) the LLM. Teams from Georgia Tech and Google then asked the model to generate “dolphin - like” sound sequences. Some of them were ocean background noises, 6.__________ the rest were authentic - sounding clicks, whistles, and burst pulses.

Computer scientist Thad Starner said that it's difficult to reproduce burst pulses with traditional programs, but LLMs can generate 7.__________(instruction) for new sounds independently based on the data they've learned. The research team now wants to predict how AI completes vocalization sequences, just like when we type in Google and 8.__________ finishes our sentences. They also plan to use the CHAT technology to observe how dolphins react 9.__________ new sounds generated by AI.

However, there are some problems. For example, researchers need to be careful not to train the dolphins 10.__________(intentional). Also, it's still unclear whether dolphins have language.
