Ⅰ．阅读理解

(2023·济南模拟)Voices offer lots of information．It turns out that they can even help diagnose illness．The National Institutes of Health is funding a massive research project to collect voice data and develop the AI that could diagnose people based on their speech．

Everything from your vocal cords vibrations (声带振动) to breathing patterns when you speak offers potential information about your health, says Dr Yael Bensoussan, a leader of the study．“We asked experts: If you close your eyes when a patient comes in, just by listening to their voice, can you have an idea of the diagnosis they have？”Bensoussan says．“And that's where we got all our information．”Someone who speaks low and slowly might have Parkinson's disease．Speaking unclearly is a sign of a stroke．Scientists could even diagnose depression or cancer．

The team will start by collecting the voices of people．“We were really lacking large what we call open source databases，”Bensoussan says．“Every institution has its own database．But it was really important to create these networks to allow researchers from other generations to use this data．”The ultimate goal is an app that could help bridge access to rural or underserved communities, by helping general practitioners refer patients to specialists．To get there, researchers have to start by collecting data, since the AI can only get as good as the database it's learning from．By the end of the four years, they hope to collect about 30，000 voices，with data on other biomarkers — like clinical data and genetic information — to match．

There are a few roadblocks．HIPAA — the law that regulates medical privacy — isn't really clear on whether researchers can share voices．“Let's say you donate your voice to our project，”says Yael Bensoussan．“Who does the voice belong to? What are we allowed to do with it? What are researchers allowed to do with it? Can it be commercialised？”

1．What does Yael Bensoussan mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Voices may help with illness diagnosis．

B．Scientists can rely on AI to detect illness．

C．Disease symptoms can be noted by machines．

D．It's necessary for doctors to listen to patients talking．

2．How will the research be carried out?

A．By building a base．

B．By collecting data．

C．By connecting communities．

D．By matching clinical information．

3．Why is HIPAA mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．To prove the researchers' idea．

B．To explain the procedures of the study．

C．To imply the problems with the research．

D．To ensure the commercial value of the study．

4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．An Application of the Voice Study

B．A Data­collecting Approach to Research

C．A Breakthrough in Medical Findings

D．Sound­aided AI Helps with Diagnosis

VR and the Olympics：changing what

viewers can experience?

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was full of breakthroughs．It is the biggest Olympics' news and media coverage so far．  1  ．

Though VR headsets have been widely accepted across industries such as gaming and tourism, their uses haven't fully been explored．  2  ．That's why we are here to clarify VR's effects on the Olympics．

●  3 

Due to the pandemic situation, the events this year weren't open to the public, which means getting close to the action was going to require some technological intervention．

By live­casting sport games in 360 VR video, viewers can experience never­before­seen immersiveness (沉浸感), and truly feel like they're in the field with their favourite athletes! So, it makes sense that the Olympics turned to VR to give viewers a close view of all the events．

●Overcome practical difficulties

Both the Winter Olympics and its Paralympics equivalent were held in Beijing this year, which aren't easy to reach for most people in the West．Thus, the application of VR technology helps relay (转播) the Olympics despite geographical distance．

And when it comes to the Winter Olympics, there is a lot not so enjoyable．There is no amount of gloves and layers that will put off the cold long enough for you to enjoy the skiing．  4  ．

But with a VR headset, you can see all the action just from the comfort of your home, saving yourself the realistic troubles．

●Watch whenever you want

The VR experience offered far more than just a comfortable place to watch．  5  ．In other words, it means you can watch your favourite moments over and over again．There is also footage (镜头) of the opening and closing ceremony available, so that you can appreciate another aspect of the successful Olympics．

A．Pay an on­site visit

B．Have an up­close look

C．There was live and on demand coverage available

D．However, virtual reality is very important in our lives

E．Unfortunately, this was also the case for the Olympics

F．It is also where virtual reality really enters the golden period

G．There is also a lot of standing around and waiting for an event
