When wmen sit tgether t watch a mvie n TV, they usually talk simultaneusly (同时的) abut a variety f subjects, including children, men, careers and what’ s happening in their lives. When grups f men and wmen watch a mvie tgether, the men usually end up telling the wmen t shut up. Men can either talk r watch the screen --- they can’t d bth --- and they dn’t understand that wmen can. Besides, wmen cnsider that the pint f all getting tgether is t have a gd time and develp relatinships --- nt just t sit there like cuch ptates staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man ften asks a wman t explain the plt and tell him where the relatinship between the characters is ging. He is unable, unlike wmen, t read the subtle bdy language signals that reveal hw the characters are feeling emtinally. Since wmen riginally spent their days with the ther wmen and children in the grup, they develped the ability t cmmunicate successfully in rder t maintain relatinships. Fr a wman, speech cntinues t have such a clear purpse: t build relatinships and make friends. Fr men, t talk is t relate the facts.
Men see the telephne as a cmmunicatin tl fr sending facts and infrmatin t ther peple, but a wman sees it as a means f bnding. A wman can spend tw weeks n vacatin with her girlfriend and, when she returns hme, telephne the same girlfriend and talk fr anther tw hurs.
There is n cnvincing evidence that scial cnditining, the fact that girls ‘ mthers talked them mre, is the reasn why girls talk mre than bys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, authr Scial Behaviur and Language Acquisitin, cnducted experiments that fund mthers talked t and lked at, baby girls mre ften than baby bys. Scientific evidence shws parents res the brain bias (偏见) f their children. Since a girl’s brain is better rganized t send and receive speech, we therefre talk t them mre. Cnsequently, mthers wh try t talk t their sns are usually pinted t receive nly shrt grunts (嘟哝) in reply.
24. While watching TV with thers, wmen Usually talk a lt because they ________.
A. are afraid f awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can bth talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a gd time and develp relatinships
D. have t explain the plt and bdy language t their husbands
25. After a vacatin with her girlfriend, a wman wuld talk t her again n the phne fr hurs in rder t________.
A. experience the happy time again B. keep a clse tie with her
C. recmmend her a new scenic spt D. remind her f smething frgtten
26. What des the authr want t tell us mst?
A. Wmen’s brains are better rganized fr language and cmmunicatin.
B. Wmen lve t talk because they are mre sciable than men.
C. Men d nt like talking because they rely mre n facts.
D. Scial cnditining is nt the reasn why wmen lve talking.
27. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Wmen Are Scially Trained t Talk B. Talking Maintains Relatinships

Here’s an idyllic scene: a small village where the sun always shines crps always grw and yur friends drp by t sweep yur yard t the sund f guitar music. Animals d what they are tld there is n disease and lending flks a helping hand makes yu richer and wiser. Welcme t Farm Ville --- current ppulatin 69m and rising fast.
“It reminds me f my childhd,” says ne player, Lia Curran, 37, a chemist frm Lndn. “Right nw I’m grwing wheat and pinsettia, I’ve gt a small rchard and I’m keeping sme chickens and sme cws. I like having the animals. It’s cmfrtable.”
Curran’s yung animals, hwever, are nthing mre than a cllectin f cmputer-cntrlled cartns. Farm Ville is an nline cmputer game built int the scial netwrking site Facebk and is described by its players as “addictive”. Launched last June by Zynga Game Netwrk, Farm Ville nw has mre players than Twiter’s entire user base --- r mre than the ppulatin f the UK. The players are largely wmen ver the age f 35.
Jenny Glyn, 33, a Lndn husewife, started playing in September. “I had a lk at a friend’s farm and was hked” she says. “My first mtivatin was t vertake her, but I did that pretty quickly. Nw there’s smething satisfying abut grwing crps.”
Farm Ville intellectually unites the wrlds f scial netwrking and gaming. Players are given a patch f grund with six fields, “cash”, a few seeds and a plugh and have t build up wealth, skills and neighbrs t create bigger, better, richer farms.
Inviting yur nline friends t play means yu earn mre and get free gifts; yu rise rapidly thrugh the first levels but nce hked have t wrk harder and harder with n final level r gal in sight. “It’s very mreish,” says Curran. She hasn’t yet paid real-wrld mney t advance in the game, but her friends d. One buys extra virtual currency at the exchange rate f $240 (￡145) in Farm Ville fr $40 (￡24) in the real wrld.
“I’d expanded n Farm Ville as much as I culd, but I just wanted a pnd and sme bushes and trees arund it,” says the wman, wh is t embarrassed t be named. “I didn’t tell my husband I’d paid real mney because he’d think I’m mad. But then he did keep me waiting in the car utside ur huse while he harvested his raspberries.”
Brian Dudley, chief executive at Bradway Ldge, an addictin treatment centre, warns that this srt f bsessive play can lead t an addictin as severe as gambling.
28. What des Curran d in the passage?
A. She is a player. B. She is a farmer wh grws wheat and pinsettia.
C. She is a chemist. D. She is a husewife wh raises chickens and cws.
29. By Farm Ville the writer means ________.
A. an addictive farm n which live 69 millin farmers
B. a Lndn husewife’s farm
C. an nline cmputer game built int the scial netwrking site
D. a farm n which peple grw real crps and play as well
30. In the last but ne paragraph the husband kept the wman waiting utside ________.
A. because he was angry at his wife’s being mad abut the farm
B. because he himself was busy with his farm
C. in rder t punish his wife fr her having paid real mney
D. s that his wife wuld wake up frm her addictin t the farm
31. Accrding t the passage which f the fllwing is NOT true?
A. The ppulatin f the UK is less than 69 millin.
B. This srt f bsessive play can cause very severe addictin.
C. Once hked ne has t make greater effrts t reach a higher level.
D. Up till nw nbdy has yet paid real-wrld mney t advance in the play.
D
Artificial intelligence is ne f the mst cncentrated industries in the wrld, which influences educatin, criminal justice, hiring and welfare. But s far the industry has escaped regulatin (管理), despite affecting the lives f billins f peple ，even when its prducts are ptentially harmful.
The COVID- 19 pandemic has sped this up. Many AI cmpanies are nw prmting emtin recgnitin tls (ERTs) fr mnitring remte wrkers. These systems map the “micr-expressins” in peple’s faces frm their vide cameras. Then they predict internal emtinal states drawn frm a list f suppsedly universal categries: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, surprise and fear. Hwever, there is scientific dubt whether emtinal states are accurately detected at all. “It is nt pssible t cnfidently infer happiness frm a smile, r sadness frm a frwn,” a 2019 review stated.
Resistance t this highly cntrversial (有争议的) technlgy is grwing.
Brkings Institute suggested ERTs be banned cmpletely frm use by law. The Eurpean Unin becmes the first t attempt a prpsal t regulate AI, but the draft AI act has its prblems. It wuld ban mst “real-time” bimetric ID (生物识别) systems --- but fails t define what exactly real-time means.
Clearly, we need far strnger prtectins and cntrls that address such harmful effects n sciety. Hwever, t many plicymakers fall int the trap f “enchanted determinism”: the belief that AI systems are magical and superhuman --- beynd what we can understand r regulate, yet decisive and reliable enugh t make predictins abut life-changing decisins. This effect drives a kind f techn-ptimism that can directly endanger peple’s lives. Fr example, a review in the British Medical Jurnal lked at 232 machine-learning algrithms (算法) fr predicting utcmes fr COVID- 19 patients. It fund that nne f them were fit fr clinical use. “I fear that they may have harmed patients,” said ne f the authrs.
Many cuntries have strict regulatins and thrugh testing when develping medicines and vaccines. The same shuld be true fr AI systems, especially thse having a direct impact n peple’s lives.
32. What can be inferred frm paragraph 2？
A. The COVID- 19 pandemic has sped up the regulatin f AI.
B. The internal emtinal states are nly limited t six basic categries.
C. There is n reliable link between facial expressins and true feelings.
D. Peple’s micr-expressins accurately reveal their internal emtins.
33. Why des the authr mentin the prblems f the draft AI act？
A. T shw EU’s resistance t AI technlgy.
B. T shw the difficulty in regulating AI.
C. T prve AI technlgy shuld be banned.
D. T prve the act is cmpletely ineffective.
34. Which f the fllwing is the effect f “enchanted determinism”？
A. It shakes peple’s cnfidence in technlgy.
B. It enables peple t crrectly predict future.
C. It misleads plicymakers in making decisins.
D. It helps predict utcmes fr COVID- 19 patients.
35. What is the best title f the article？
A.AI：Prducts in Demand. B.AI：Strict Rules in Place.
C.AI：Tight Cntrl in Need. D.AI：Technlgy in Danger.
