A

Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence(AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.

Meta’s speech-to-speech translation

Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language,a spoken language without a widely used written form.

Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition,developers used an encoding(编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text.

Method to identify Parkinson's disease

Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson's disease. The system works by measuring a person's breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.

Tool to interpret pig emotions

Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.

The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm(算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.

Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings

Researchers—led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind—said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.

The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.

Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third generation native of Brownsville,Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused.

 meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable;therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.

Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?

A. It implies anger.      B. It promotes friendship.

C. It is culture-specific.  D. It is content-based.

33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought

A. The Chinese.      B. The French.      C. The Mexicans.       D. The Russians.

34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?

A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.

C. Evaluate its harm to patients.         D. Make use of its healing effects.

35. What may be the best title for the text?

A. Sound and Silence              B. What It Means to Be Silent

C. Silence to Native Americans       D. Speech Is Silver;Silence Is Gold

Building Trust in a Relationship Again

●  You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.   40   instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me, to go to Panisha

Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack!Actually, Jack was a good partner,quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.

An adventure waited for us ahead. It was only a little after 12:00 o'clock and it couldn't hurt to go on a little exploration time. Could it?

We didn't want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum,“Can we go to Panisha Island to explore?”

“Oh alright!I guess it’s only a short boat ride away. Be back by 5:00 o’clock!”Mum answered us.

We thanked Mum, got on our blue bike and got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back. The sea air blew on our face like silk. I stared out into the sea. I must have stared for a while because soon I heard,“PANISHA ISLAND!”

The moment we got off the boat, we were crazy about everything around, the clear water, the blue skies, the singing of the birds... but we had no time to appreciate these. We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle, surrounded by vast jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore. Lizards, birds, and lots and lots of bugs. Suddenly a rabbit sprung out, staring at us, as if to ask us where we were from. Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us. Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther,I let out a scream!Jack smiled slyly (顽皮地) and ordered me to be calm.

A tough passageway led us to natural pools, shallow waters with fishing spots, overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site.“Why not catch some fish here?”I excitedly suggested. Jack was hesitating when a roar(叫), like a true tiger, came out from the farther jungle!Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool.

There was not much time left for the return trip.
