Machines knw yur vice
Cmputers, smartphnes, and ther machines are the perfect servants. We usually "tell” them t d things by using a muse r keybard. But what if we culd just talk t them and tell them what t d?
In the 1960s TV series Star Trek, spaceships culd reply t human vice rders. In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9000 is a cmputer that humans can talk t. It can play chess with humans and fix their spaceship.
This type f technlgy, which helps machines understand peple speech and act as what peple say, is knwn as vice recgnitin(识别). Tday, vice recgnitin is widely used in peple's daily life. Siri and Alexa, the vice recgnitin sftware made by Apple and Amazn are tw examples. Yu can ask them t d many things, frm setting alarms and playing music t placing nline grcery rders and turning n husehld devices.
One f the nice things abut vice recgnitin is that it can be used when we're n the g. When yu're driving a car r walking dwn the sidewalk, it is nt cnvenient r even hazardus t pick up yur smartphne and type n the keybard. With vice recgnitin, yu can fcus n whatever yu're ding at the mment while still finishing ther tasks.
Speech recgnitin can als help peple with hearing disabilities a lt. It can be used t "listen'' t spken wrds and turn them int text that deaf peple can read. Advanced speech recgnitin sftware can even hear wrds spken in ne language and then translate it int anther language.
As vice recgnitin sftware becmes mre advanced, it will be able t help us in even mre ways. S far, mst vice recgnitin technlgy is nt able t recgnize specific(特定的) vices. That is t say, yur vice "sunds” the same t the sftware as yur friend's vice. Hwever, many cmpanies are already wrking t develp vice recgnitin sftware that replies nly t specific vices.
27. Accrding t the passage, vice recgnitin .
A. came int service in the 1960s
B. is usually used in high-tech areas
C. can understand and act what peple say
D. culd help peple send and fix the spaceship
28. The wrd “hazardus” in paragraph 4 prbably means .
A. cmfrtable B. nervus C. dangerus D. natural
29. What can vice recgnitin d in the real wrld?
A. Turn spken wrds int text fr the deaf.
B. Recgnize a certain vice at certain time.
C. Help the drivers t slw dwn their car safely.
D. Lead the blind peple walk dwn the sidewalk.
30. What’s the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Why the vice sunds the same.
B. Why the technlgy is imprtant.
C. What was fund in the sftware.
D. What else is needed t study.
D
I can just hear sme f yu saying, “I dn't care what ther peple think! I d whatever I want!” There is a strng wish fr independence(独立) in adlescence(青春期) and yu say yu nly care abut yur wn pinin. But dn't yu really care what certain peple think? Mst teenagers have a circle f peple wh can influence them. They care very much what this circle f peple think, especially abut them.
During adlescence, friendships with ther teens becme very imprtant. They care abut what ther teens think because they want t be accepted and they are afraid f ther peple think. Fear makes them care.
Take leaders and fllwers as an example. Sme teenagers are leaders and sme wh are fllwers. Yu might think that teens leaders dn't care what ther peple think, but that is nt true. After all, a leader really isn't a leader unless ther peple fllw them. Leaders care abut what fllwers think because if they dn't, thse fllwers may leave and fllw smene else. Teens wh are fllwers care abut what the leader thinks because they want t stay a part f the grup.
As we all knw, it is hard t admit(承认) yu care what ther peple think. This gives thse ther peple-whever they are - pwer ver yu. Yu give them pwer t have a say in what yu shuld r shuldn't d, t make yu feel gd r bad abut yurself S shuld yu nt care what anyne else thinks f yu? N, I dn't think that’s pssible. I think it is kay t care what thers think f yu. The answer lies in caring mst abut what yu think abut yurself There is a famus playwright named William Shakespeare. In ne f his plays, Hamlet, the character Hamlet said, “T thine wn self be true.” In ther wrds, whatever yu d, always be true t yurself. This is ne f the mst imprtant tasks yu shuld have during adlescence.
Alng the way, yu'll care abut what yur friends, parents and teachers think. That’s fine, but use what they think t help yu decide wh it is yu want t be. Yu need t keep the pwer t change wh yu are with yu. T thine wn self be true.
31.Frm the passage, we can knw that teenagers .
A. value their friendship very much
B. have difficulties in making friends
C. are always deaf t thers’ advice
D. keep themselves away frm thers
32. Accrding t the passage, William Shakespeare may agree that .
A. teenage leaders shuld listen t the fllwers
