[2023·湖北省3月第二次模拟]Amazn's Alexa will be able t revive the vices f deceased relatives, allwing users t feel as if they are speaking t lst nes beynd the grave.
In a vide shwn n stage, Amazn demnstrated hw, instead f Alexa's signature vice reading a stry t a yung by, it was his grandmther's vice.
Rhit Prasad, an Amazn senir vice president, said the updated system will be able t cllect enugh vice data frm less than a minute f audi t make persnalizatin like this pssible, rather than having smene spend hurs in a recrding studi like hw it's dne in the past.
The cncept starts frm Amazn lking at new ways t add mre “human features” t artificial intelligence, especially “in these times f the nging pandemic, when s many f us have lst smene we lve，” Prasad said. “While AI can't rid that pain f lss, it can definitely make their memries last.”
Amazn has lng used AI recreatins f peple's vices t vice Alexa. But they have als increasingly imprved ver the past few years, particularly with the use f AI and deepfake technlgy.
Hwever, Amazn's attempt at persnalized Alexa vices may struggle mst with the weird valley effect—recreating a vice that is s similar t a lved ne's but isn't quite right, which leads t rejectin by real humans. “Fr sme, they will view this as creepy r utright terrible, but fr thers it culd be viewed in a mre prfund way, perhaps fr the first time and in a way that isn't a strict recrding frm the past.” said Michael Inuye f ABI Research. He believes, hwever, the varying reactins t annuncements like this speak t hw sciety will have t adjust t the prmise f innvatins and their eventual reality in the years ahead.
The technlgy is als likely t lead t fears that it culd be used t impersnate living peple, which culd be used t bypass security systems. In 2019, a manager at a British energy cmpany lst almst ￡200, 000 after criminals used AI t fake his bss's vice, directing him t transfer the cmpany's funds t a freign bank accunt.
8．What is the feature f the updated system f Amazn's Alexa?

B．It will be highly efficient in cllecting vice data.
C．It will free the grandmther frm reading a stry.
D．It will make a breakthrugh in deepfake technlgy.
9．Why des Amazn update Alexa's vice?
A．T make it mre human­like.
B．T cure peple's pain f lss.
C．T remind peple f lst gd memries.
D．T demnstrate Amazn's pwerful technlgy.
10．What des the underlined wrd “impersnate” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Interact with.
B．Prve t be.
C．Have cmmand f.
D．Pretend t be.
11．What's the authr's attitude twards Alexa's persnalized vices?

[2023·衡水中学高三下学期一调]One third f adults ver 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half dn't even have Internet access at hme. In San Francisc, “the center f tech”， 40% f lder adults d nt have basic digital literacy skills.
This situatin is becming appalling as ver 10，000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050，22% f Americans will be 65 r lder. Meanwhile, technlgy is develping very fast. This means that a large number f peple will be unable t prficiently use emergent technlgy.

Baby bmers are currently experiencing a different bm: With mre peple getting lder than ever befre, their life expediencies are als increasing dramatically.

The easiest slutin is t teach digital literacy. If baby bmers want t survive the frthcming retirement crisis, they shuld get enugh digital knwledge and skills t perate tday's tls and tmrrw's platfrms. With every crisis cmes an pprtunity. Tutring, custmer service, editing, research, bk­keeping, and ther virtual assistance­based wrk pen the drs. But again, digital knwledge is first required t live in ur high­tech sciety and gig ecnmy. S try t get mre nline and navigate the grwing number f sites and apps.
12．What des the underlined wrd “appalling” prbably mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Cnfusing. B．Terrible.
C．Cntrllable. D．Inspiring.
13．What prblem may baby bmers face?
