It is now possible to generate fake but realistic content with little more than the click of a mouse.This can be fun:a TikTok account on which an artificial Tom Cruise wearing a purple robe sings Tiny Dancer of Paris Hilton holding a toy dog has attracted 5.1 million followers.However,this technology also causes challenges.Cheaters can copy loved ones’ voices with just ten seconds,and AI-generated celebrities advertise questionable products online.Fake videos of politicians are also spreading rapidly.
The fundamental problem is an old one.From the printing press to the Internet,new technologies have often made it easier to spread untruths or pretend to be the trustworthy.While humans have traditionally relied on shortcuts to detect fakes,such as spelling mistakes or strangely rendered(渲染的) hands in AI-generated images,these signs are becoming less reliable as AI continues to improve.The arms race between generating and detecting fakes currently favors the former,and it seems that eventually,AI models will be able to produce perfect fakes.
This rapid advancement in AI technology raises serious concerns.For example,it could lead to a world where any photograph of a person can be used for blackmail(敲诈).Additionally,anyone could create a video of a political leader announcing a nuclear first strike,causing widespread panic.
Despite these awful possibilities,societies will adapt to the rise of fake content.People will learn to distrust images,audio,or video as proof of events,similar to how they view drawings.Instead,the focus will shift to identifying the source of content,with reliable sources becoming increasingly important.
It may sound strange,but this was true for most of history.While AI technology presents significant challenges,it is not the end of the marketplace of ideas.Over time,the fakes that rise will mostly be the funny ones.
1.What is the main concern over the ability of AI to generate realistic fake content?
A.It makes people pretend to be someone else.
B.It enables cheaters to promote fake products online.
C.It causes arms race between generating and detecting fakes.
D.It makes it difficult to distinguish the real content from the fake.
2.What are people advised to focus on when ensuring the reliability of content?
A.Its source. B.Its visual quality.
C.Its popularity. D.Its emotional impact.
3.What does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A.Funny fakes will be the only one that rise in the future.
B.The rise of fake content will not destroy the exchange of ideas.
C.People will find it necessary to distinguish AI-made content from reality.
D.People will no longer trust any form of media owing to the flood of fakes.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Fun and Fear of Videos:AI Is Changing Our World
B.AI-Generated Fakes:A Challenge to Truth and Trust
C.From Laughs to Lies:The Impact of AI-Created Videos
D.Dawn for Digital Art:Welcoming the Era of AI-Made Content

Smart devices have become an everyday part of our lives.A smart refrigerator can go above and beyond simply keeping our food cool.
A smart refrigerator is any refrigerator that’s equipped with a Wi-Fi connection.It can share information about itself,be a real-time camera that lets users see what’s inside while at the supermarket,or act as a digital command center for the home.Some other things smart fridges are able to do include raising or lowering the temperature at the sound of your voice or with your phone,or helping you track the contents of your fridge so you don’t run into a milk shortage emergency.
Smart fridges can be particularly good at keeping food cool.It’s easier to adjust the temperature if it is higher than it should be because the door is left slightly open.This can make a difference in your energy bills and the quality and lifespan of your food.
Many of the smart fridge’s features can also save your time when you’re rushing to get ready in the morning.The people who will benefit most from a smart fridge are probably those who have children that might be using the fridge while parents are at work.It’s another way you can keep an eye on what’s going on at home when you’re not there.However,prices do tend to run higher than traditional fridges.
If you already have a food organizational system that’s working very well for you,and you are cool with the way your fridge is handling your food,then a smart fridge may not be worth it.However,if the smart fridge’s features mentioned above sound like they would make your life easier,then one could be worth the extra money.
5.What can a smart refrigerator do?
A.Order food.
B.Record the contents inside.
C.Deal with emergency.
D.Share information with supermarkets.
6.Which of the following best describes the smart refrigerator?
A.Energy-saving but expensive.
B.Child-friendly but noisy.
C.Time-saving but unsafe.
D.Convenient but power-consuming.
7.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A.Accepting a smart fridge passively.
B.Highly recommending us to own a smart fridge.
C.Thinking reasonably about having a smart fridge.
D.Firmly rejecting the idea of buying a smart fridge.
8.Where does the text most probably come from?
A.A poster. B.A magazine.
C.A novel. D.A guide book.
Ⅴ.七选五
In today’s world,AI is increasingly becoming an integral part of our lives. 1 From personalizing learning to providing feedback,AI can help students a lot.
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized how students are measured in terms of their strengths and weaknesses.By analyzing massive datasets,AI can quickly identify a student’s areas of strengths and weaknesses through the images they upload,videos they watch,and data gathered from feedback systems. 2 It promises to take us into a new era of educational success where no student is left behind.
With the advancements in AI technology,each student can receive the most tailored education they need to reach their own educational goals.It can also aid in how to write an article review,potentially by being able to particularize how challenging certain elements are for students and how much further focus and practice any one student needs to accomplish their educational objectives. 3
In today’s ever-connected world,having access to reliable sources of information beyond normal business hours can make a huge difference in a person’s life. 4 Whether you’re seeking self-help resources to aid in studies or trying to navigate administrative processes,these conversational agents are often the ultimate solution for covering your informational needs outside of class hours,as they are always on hand. 5
A.AI-based chatbots offer just that,providing up-to-date information 24/7.
B.Here are some benefits of AI for students that can help them in their studies.
C.These data cannot reflect the whole picture of students’ performance,though.
D.This timeless advantage has significantly reduced the workload for the educators.
E.Thus,AI-supported personalized learning could finally create equal access to education.
F.Therefore,they allow us to efficiently access services without worrying about time limit.
G.It will also better identify potential areas for improvement in teaching and evaluating students.

Ⅷ.读后续写
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。
In a small town,Greenfield,lived Alex,a high school student.Alex’s sanctuary(庇护所) was a mix of video games and late-night snacking,a habit that not only distanced him from the world but also gradually ruined his health.
“Hey,Alex,need a wider door to walk through?” taunted(嘲笑) Mike,a classmate whose words were as sharp as knives,under the watchful eyes of their classmates.The laughter that followed was a familiar sting,one that Alex had grown accustomed to,yet it hurt deeper each time.
At home,Alex’s escape into virtual realities became his feeling of emotional comfort,until one evening,his father,Bryan,decided it was time for a change.
“Alex,we need to talk,” Bryan said,his tone soft yet firm.“I’ve seen how hard things have been for you...and I think it’s time we make a change.”
“It’s just how things are,Dad.I can’t change how people see me,”Alex responded.“Maybe you can’t change how others see you,Alex,”Bryan added gently,“but we can change how you see yourself,maybe,how you feel.Let’s try to adopt a healthier lifestyle together.What do you say?”
Doubtful but inspired by his father’s suggestion,Alex agreed.They started a journey that introduced morning jogs,replaced chips and sodas with fruits and water,and most importantly,opened a channel of communication that had long been inactive.
The road was not without its obstacles.Mike’s taunts continued.“Planning to run a marathon,Alex?” Mike laughed loudly.“Maybe I am,”Alex replied,his voice steadier than he felt.
As time flew,the transformation within Alex became obvious.Not just in his physical appearance,but in his behaviors.He found himself slowly stepping out of the shadow of his insecurities.
Then came the annual school 2-mile run,an activity Alex had never dreamed of participating in.Yet,this year was different.
注意:
