A
When yu take a clser lk at the phts f the 36 cntestants fr CCTV 3’s talent shw Brav Yungsters , yu may find smething different.
Ling, ne cntestant n the shw, is seemingly perfect. The 25-year-ld Beijing wman is a scial media influencer, whse realistic appearance is cmputer generated (生成).
Yet Ling behaves like an actual human scial media star. She attends fashin events, prmtes designer clthes and brands, and shares her life n Sina Weib.
“I lve traditinal Chinese culture, especially Peking Opera, calligraphy and tai chi. I hpe that I can interpret (阐释) these art frms in my wn way n the stage,” Ling psted n her weib accunt n Nv 22.
Actually, Ling herself is the best illustratin f her lve fr Chinese traditinal culture.
Her name, Ling, cmes frm the feathered headdress (头饰) wrn in Peking Opera. Her vice in the talent shw fllws the schl (流派) f the late Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. And her face is even designed t lk gd while wearing Peking Opera makeup.
Accrding t Chen Yan, funder f Beijing Next Generatin Culture Media, the cmpany behind Ling, they aimed t build the virtual idl (虚拟偶像) int a web influencer interested in gufeng (Chinese natinal style).
Chen Zhe frm the cmpany Frees Fund, believes that the rise f virtual influencers will bring pprtunities.
“They have great advantages. Unlike human influencers wh will get ld, r may becme invlved in sme srt f scandal (丑闻), digital influencers are yung, flexible, manageable and cntrllable,” he said.
Chen Yan als pinted ut that althugh influencers like Ling are virtual, their influence is real. Like it r nt, they will bring big changes t the entertainment and fashin industries in the near future.

We nw are in a “glden age” f space-sample retrieval (取回) and explratin. Space agencies arund the wrld are busy cllecting, r planning t cllect, samples frm celestial bdies (天体) like asterids (小行星), mns and planets.
China’s Chang’e 5 missin is the mst recent sample-return missin that has been successfully cmpleted. On Dec 17, the Chang’e 5 lunar prbe (探测器) returned hme and landed in the Inner Mnglia autnmus regin after weeks f space travel, China Daily reprted. This was the wrld’s first lunar sample-return missin since 1976. The missin retrieved an incredible 1,713 grams f samples f rcks and dust with the help f a drill (钻孔机) and a mechanical (机械的) arm.
Anther space sample-return missin was cmpleted n Dec 6. Japan’s Hayabusa2 prbe returned a capsule t Earth cntaining valuable samples frm the asterid Ryugu. This was the secnd time asterid samples have ever been cllected and brught back t Earth. The first asterid samples were cllected by the riginal Hayabusa spacecraft back in 2010.
There will be mre such missins in the near future. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which cllected samples frm the asterid Bennu in Octber, is expected t return t Earth in 2023. Russia’s Lunar-25 missin is scheduled t launch t the mn in 2021 t cllect lunar samples.
Cllecting these samples frm different celestial bdies is imprtant because they can help t answer questins that have puzzled scientists fr years, such as hw life first came abut r hw water appeared n ur planet.
“I cannt emphasize enugh hw valuable return samples are fr increasing ur understanding f the rigin and evlutin f ur slar system and ur place in the universe, and hw we came t be,” said Ann Nguyen, a NASA planetary scientist.
Once the space samples are delivered t Earth, they are then analyzed with high-pwered tls. These tls can help t reveal mre detailed infrmatin than just phts r rbtic rvers (探测车) alne.
As fr the Chang’e 5 lunar samples, scientists will cnduct varius analyses, tests and experiments t determine the cmpsitin (构成), structure and physical characteristics f the samples. This infrmatin will help t deepen ur knwledge abut the histry f the mn, as well as ur slar system as a whle.
We have nly just begun t scratch (抓) the surface f such celestial bdies, bth literally and figuratively (象征性地). Hwever, we have already learned s much and have a lt left t discver.
24. What d we knw abut the Chang’e 5 lunar prbe?
A. It was launched n Dec 17.
B. It cllected the wrld’s first lunar sample.
C. It brught back 1,713 grams f lunar samples.
D. It cmpleted the mst successful missin recently.
25. Which f the fllwing cllected the first asterid samples?
A. Hayabusa.B. Hayabusa 2. C. OSIRIS-REx.D. Russia’s Lunar-25.
26. What can the samples shed light n (阐明)?
A. The rigin f life.B. Structure f the slar system.
C. Which celestial bdies have water.D. Hw water first appeared n the mn.
27. What will scientists d with the samples?
A. Analyze them and cnduct experiments.B. Determine their surces.
C. Cmpare them with space phts.D. Scratch their surfaces.

We knw that artificial intelligence (AI) is smart enugh t d a few things ur minds cannt, and with incredible accuracy. And nw, it seems it als has the capacity t detect lneliness in humans, which is an therwise challenging task.
A new study, led by researchers at the University f Califrnia San Dieg Schl f Medicine, US, has shwn hw AI tls can predict levels f lneliness frm a persn’s speech with an accuracy rate f 94 percent.
The study fcused n 80 participants aged 66 t 94, a ppulatin particularly vulnerable (易受伤的；易受攻击的) t lneliness. The subjects were asked 20 questins frm the University f Califrnia Ls Angeles (UCLA) Lneliness Scale, which uses a fur-pint rating scale (量表) fr questins such as “Hw ften d yu feel left ut?” and “Hw ften d yu feel part f a grup f friends?”
They were als interviewed in private cnversatins, which were recrded and transcribed (转录) by researchers. The transcripts (文字记录) were then examined using natural language prcessing (处理) tls, including IBM Watsn Natural Language Understanding (WNLU) sftware, t quantify (量化) expressed emtins.
The interesting thing abut this system is that it nt nly uses dictinary-based methds, such as searching fr specific wrds that express fear, but als presents crrespnding (相应的) patterns by testing the wrds used in the respnse.
Varsha Badal, the first authr f the study, nted that the WNLU sftware system uses deep learning t extract (提取) data frm keywrds, categries, emtins and grammar.
“Natural language prcessing and machine learning can systematically examine lng interviews frm multiple individuals and explre hw subtle (微妙的) speech features such as emtins may indicate lneliness,” Badal said. “Similar emtin analyses by humans wuld be pen t bias (偏见), lack cnsistency, and require extensive (大量的) training t standardize.”
The mre lnely a persn felt, the lnger their respnses t direct questins regarding lneliness. The system was capable f nt just detecting the degree f lneliness in each subject, but als shwing differences between the way men and wmen spke abut lneliness. The men were fund t use mre fearful and jyful wrds in their respnses, while the wmen tended t acknwledge feeling lnely during interviews.
C-authr Dilip Jeste said that the IBM-UC San Dieg Center is nw explring natural language patterns f lneliness and wisdm, which are inversely (成反比地) linked in lder adults. “Speech data can be cmbined with ur ther assessments f cgnitin (认知), mbility (运动), sleep, physical activity and mental health t imprve understanding f aging and t help cntribute t successful aging,” he said.
28. What can we knw abut the study?
A. It invlved 80 middle-aged participants.
B. It culd reach as high as 90 percent in accuracy.
C. It relied n AI tls frm the beginning.
D. Its riginal data was partly frm private interviews.
29. Hw did the WNLU sftware system cntribute t the lneliness study?
A. By detecting speech patterns that shw emtin.
B. By remving bias frm the transcribing prcess.
C. By lcating specific wrds in lng cnversatins.
D. By standardizing the training f emtin analyses.
30. Which f the fllwing is amng the findings?
A. The degree f lneliness is unrelated t gender.
B. The way we talk abut lneliness varies with age.
C. Lnelier peple had lnger respnses abut lneliness.
D. Wmen tend t be mre ptimistic abut lneliness.
31. What des Dilip Jeste imply in the last paragraph?
A. Further study is needed t imprve the system’s accuracy.
B. AI tls can be applied t studying the secret f aging.
C. Speech data is imprtant fr assessing cgnitin.
D. The study is helpful fr studying aging.
