But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake. Voice cloning's influences will be huge. For several years, customers have been able to identify themselves over the phone to their bank and other companies using their voice. Not even a gifted mimic(善于模仿的人) could fool the detection system. But the arrival of cloning will force adaptation in order to prevent cheating. Creative industries could face the impact, too. Voice actors' skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in a matter of seconds. But some actors may, in fact, find cloning congenial. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for “Top Gun: Maverick”. Another industry that will have to come to cope with the rise of clones is journalism. Now who will trust a story based on an audio clip(片段)? Slightly easier to manage might be the false positives: recordings claiming to be someone but which are fakes. The opposite problem—the false negatives—will arise when public figures deny authentic recordings. Proving that a clip is genuine is hard, perhaps even impossible. Journalists will need to show how they obtained and stored audio files. The term “fake news” had existed long before voice cloning. Now, ever more people caught in a crime are likely to defend themselves, “It wasn't me.” And many people will have even more reason to believe them. 4．What does Jennifer Destefano's experience indicate? A．The high frequency of fake news. B．The rising crime rate in Mexico. C．The danger of voice­cloning technology. D．The value of bravery in an emergency. 5．What does the underlined word “congenial” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Illegal. B．Ridiculous. C．Horrible. D．Agreeable. 6．Which of the following belongs to the false negatives? A．Late Beetles' songs have been restored by voice cloning. B．A pop star declares an authentic recording untrue. C．Journalists prove their reports with audio clips. D．The police identify a criminal through voice. 7．What is the most suitable title for the text? A.Voice Cloning Is Increasingly Used in Journalism B.Voice Cloning Is Challenging Our Traditional Ideas C.Voice Cloning Is Impacting Different Aspects of Our Life D．Voice Cloning Is Re­Establishing Life Styles for the Better 【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了声音克隆技术及其对我们生活方方面面产生的影响。 4．C　[解析]推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，Jennifer Destefano接到了一通伪造电话，对方冒充她的女儿对她进行诈骗。由此可知，她的经历表明了语音克隆技术的危险性。故选C。 5．D　[解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词所在段落可知，有一位演员患喉癌导致声音受损，他很开心声音克隆技术恢复了自己的声音。由此可知，对于这些人来说，他们觉得声音克隆技术是可以接受的。因此画线词的意思是“可以接受的”。故选D。 6．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The opposite problem—the false negatives—will arise when public figures deny authentic recordings.”可知，如果一位流行歌手宣称一个真实录音是假的，这就属于“假阴性(错误否定)”的情况，因为它描述了一个真实录音被否认的情况。故选B。 7．C　[解析]标题概括题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了声音克隆技术对人们生活产生的影响，因此C选项“语音克隆正在影响着我们生活的方方面面”能概括文章的主旨，适合作为标题。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Iarossi is a 10­year­old softball(垒球) player from Tampa，Florida.She was tired of having her practices canceled because of an __1__ between girls and boys sports.Her community has many baseball fields but only one softball field.When baseball teams need more __2__，they will often take up the softball field，__3__ her team's practice.
