18、（A 、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。AA Trip to Jurassic WorldJurassic World, the 2015 hit movie, thrilled fans with its breathtaking description of dinosaurs. In the movie, scientists create a hybrid (混血的 ) dinosaur at a theme park on Isla Nublar, a fictional island in the Pacific Ocean. Excitement turns to terror
19、 when the hybrid, Indominus rex (暴虐霸王龙), goes on a killing spree.Now, an exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, brings Isla Nublar to life. “Jurassic World: The Exhibition” features eight animatronic (电动的) dinosaurs. Visitors can walk among the lifelike creatures, some of which are more t
20、han 20 feet tall. The animals not only move, they roar, their leathery skin crinkling.A FASCINATION WITH DINOSAURSTom Swerski is the exhibitions operations director at the natural history museum. He hopes that the exhibit will inspire future scientists who study fossils.“People have been fascinated
21、by dinosaurs for generations,” Swerski says. “Helping to arouse that imagination is one of the benefits of the exhibit.”On a walking tour, kids can design their own dinosaur al the Hammond Creation Lab, which has equipment that was used in Jurassic World, and witness the action in the Raptor Trainin
22、g Paddock. Visitors can also get a glance at the movies top-secret project: Indominus rex.FACE - TO - FACE WITH SUESwerski says that the Field Museum is a fitting place for the exhibit. The museum has one of the best dinosaur fossil collections in the world. The collection includes fossils from six
23、dinosaurs that are part of the Jurassic World exhibit.After seeing the lifelike dinosaurs in the huge lent outside, visitors come face-to-face inside with the skeleton (骨架) of Sue, the worlds largest and most complete T. Rex ever found.The exhibit runs through January 7, 2018.56. What can visitors d

They can touch the worlds largest dinosaur.57. Whats the purpose of this passage?A. To provide some inspiration for
25、visitors.B. To describe something about dinosaurs.C. To introduce the history of the museum.D. To advertise the Jurassic World exhibit.BUntil recently, voice cloningor voice banking, as it was then known was a bespoke (定制的) industry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer
26、or surgery. Creating a synthetic (合成的) copy of a voice was a lengthy and pricey process. It meant recording many phrases, each spoken many times, with different emotional emphases and in different contexts, in order to cover all possible pronunciations. A voice-banking company often charges a lot an
27、d requires a speaker to spend days in a sound studio.Not any more. Software exists that can store slices of recorded speech a mere five milliseconds long, each noted with a precise pitch (音调). These can be shuffled together to make new words, and changed individually so that they fit harmoniously in
28、to their new sound homes. This is much cheaper than conventional voice banking, and permits novel uses lo be developed. With little effort, a wife can lend her voice to her blind husbands screen-reading software. A boss can give his to workplace robots. Parents often away on business can personalise
29、 their childrens wirelessly connected talking toys. And so on. At least, that is the vision of Gershon Silbert, boss of VivoText, a voice-cloning firm in Tel Aviv.Next year VivoText plans to release an app that lets users select the emphasis, speed and level of happiness or sadness with which indivi
30、dual words and phrases are produced. Yet this power also troubles him. Any voice including that of a strangercan be cloned if proper recordings are available on YouTube or elsewhere. Researchers at the University of Alabama, Birmingham were able to use Festvox to clone voices based on only five minu
31、tes of speech found online.As might be expected, countermeasures to sniff out such a trick are being developed. Nuance Communications, a maker of voice-activated software, is working on a set of rules that detect tiny skips in frequency at the points where slices of speech are stuck together. It may
32、 help computers flag up suspicious speech. Even so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might he created in a world which makes it easy to put authentic-sounding words into the mouths of adversaries(敌手)-be they colleagues or heads of state.58. Voice banking is the recording of ones natural voice .A

Language cannot be switched very naturally.C. Some safely measures have already been taken.D. People ca
35、n recognise cloned speech without effort.CTHREE jihadist (圣战分子) attacks in Britain have led to a flood of suggestions about how to fight terrorism, from more police and tougher prison sentences to new legal powers. But one idea has gained popularity that Internet firms are doing the jihadists work f
36、or them. Technology giants, such as Google and Facebook, are accused of turning a blind eye to violent online propaganda (宣传) and other platforms of allowing terrorists to communicate with each other out of reach of the intelligence services.It is only the latest such charge. The technology firms ha
37、ve also been condemned for allowing the spread of fake news to make profits. In the past they were accused of enabling people to escape copyright and of hosting child pornography (色情).For as long as there have been data networks, people have exploited them to cause harm. The Internet, with billions
38、of users and unlimited processing power, is the most powerful network of all. It was bound to become the focus of wrongdoers.That does not mean it should be wrapped in government red tape. Openness online is especially valuable because it allows “permissionless” innovation. Anyone can publish an art
39、icle, upload a video or distribute a piece of software lo a global audience. Freedom from the responsibilities that burden other media companies has served as a help for a new industry. As their services have reached deeper into every aspect of everyday life, online activity has gained more potentia

But an approach based on “defence in depth”, combining technology, policy, education and human oversight, can minimise risk and harm.Often, commercial self-inte
41、rest gives an incentive (动力) for the technology companies to act. Although fake news is popular, and provides opportunities to fill advertising slots, it is bad for the technology giants reputations. When self-interest is not enough, governments can urge the firms to tighten upas German lawmakers ha
42、ve, threatening huge lines.The strongest measure is now laws. But us in the offline world, legislators (立法者) must strike a balance between security and liberty. They should set out to be clear and narrow about what is illegalwhich will also help platforms deal with posts quickly and consistently.In
43、the past, Internet firms have tended to “build it first, figure out the rules later”. However, the arguments about terrorism and extremist content are a reminder that the lawless era of the early Internet is over. Technology firms must accept it as part of the responsibility that comes with their ne
