Ⅰ.阅读理解
New technology is making it possible for people to make videos of people appearing to say things they never actually said.The videos are known as “deepfakes”.
The word “deepfake” is a combination of “deep learning”(an important part of artificial intelligence)and “fake”(not real).Deepfake software allows people to replace part of a video with another video image.The result is a fake video.
The software allows you to put your face over the face of a talking president or movie star.This process will make your face speak in the voice of that president or movie star.Many people are worried the technology will be used to trick voters.Lawmakers,intelligence officials and media experts have expressed concern about deepfakes.They warn the false videos could be used to threaten America's national security.
“We have entered a new world where it is going to be difficult to know how to believe what we see,” said Hany Farid,a researcher at Dartmouth College in Hanover,New Hampshire.He added,“The opposite result is also worrying.People will become so used to seeing false videos that they will be more likely to doubt a real video.”
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) is already working to develop technologies to identify fake images and videos.But Senator Rubio says,now the identification is difficult and takes a very long time.
“It takes advanced technology to be able to show that it's not real.And by the time that's done,it's been widely used.”
Rubio and other lawmakers say people will need to take more responsibility to identify fakes.

语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几部电影以及它们的拍摄地点。
1.解析: was 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。动词-ing形式短语作主语时,谓语动词应用单数。又根据时间状语“At one time”可知,应用一般过去时。
2.解析: higher 考查形容词的比较级。根据far和than可知,此处应用形容词的比较级。
3.解析: has changed 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,此处表示现代科技已经改变了一切,强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时;主语modern technology为第三人称单数形式。
4.解析: to get 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作表语说明主语的具体内容且主语和表语交换位置意义不变,故应用动词不定式短语作表语。故填to get。
5.解析: actresses 考查名词的单复数。根据空前的actors可知,此处应用所给词的复数形式,故填actresses。
6.解析: who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词指代先行词“the actors and ”并在从句中作主语,故填who。
7.解析: Additionally 考查词性转换。空处作状语,应用副词,故填Additionally。
8.解析: on 考查介词。on one's own是固定短语,意为“独立地”。
9.解析: an 考查冠词。character作“人物,角色”讲时为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且attractive的发音以元音音素开头,所以其前应用不定冠词an。
10.解析: making 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,一个好的故事是制作一部成功电影的关键。to是介词,应用动词-ing形式充当宾语。故填making。
