A man sat at an undergrund statin in Washingtn, D.C. and started t play the vilin. It was a cld day in January. He played Bach(巴赫) pieces fr abut 45 minutes. Thusands f peple went thrugh the statin in a hurry, mst f them n their way t wrk.
Three minutes went by and the first persn, a middle-aged man, nticed there was a musician playing. He slwed dwn and stpped fr a few secnds and then hurried up t g t wrk.
After a minute, the vilinist received his first dllar: a yung wman threw the mney in the bx, and cntinued t walk. Then anther few minutes went by and smene std against the wall t listen t him, but the yung man lked at his watch and started t walk again. Clearly he was late fr wrk.
During the musician’s perfrmance, nly a few peple gave respnse(反应) t him: six peple stpped and stayed fr a while, twenty gave him mney but cntinued t walk. When he finished playing, n ne applauded(鼓掌): N ne knew the vilinist was Jshua Bell, ne f the best musicians in the wrld.

Nw, a new AI tl (工具) is used in the making f new mvies.
This new AI tl is called “Deepfakes”. It can take ut the actr’s picture/pht frm an ld mvie and use it t create a “Digital image (数字形象)” fr a new mvie. Fr example, “Deepfakes” can make it seem as if the persn is saying wrds. But in fact, he never said. In Hllywd, the tl has been used t make actrs lk yunger and t slve ther prblems.
Fr Duncan, he thinks actrs have their qualities (特征), such as appearance and vice. These qualities make them different frm the thers. If the mviemakers (制片人) always use “Deepfakes”, these actrs will lse their jbs. Besides, it is unfair t use actrs’ images withut paying mney and the admissin f the authr. While many actrs are wrried abut AI, thers can accept it. Harrisn Frd desn’t mind abut mviemakers using AI. Frd first played Indiana Jnes in the 1980s. Nw he is 80 years ld. By using “Deepfakes”, Frd will appear in the mvie Indiana Jnes and the Dial f Destiny again.
“Thugh I think ‘Deepfakes’ is a gd tl, mviemakers must d it with mre things, such as the actrs’ persnalities instead f just cpying ld mvies. Or everything made in the future is ging t be the cpy f the ld wrks”, said Duncan.
37. What is talked abut in this text?
A. “Deepfakes”.B. Mviemakers.C. The making f new mvies.D. Digital image.
38. What is right abut the new AI tl?
A. This new AI tl is called “Digital image”.
B. It can take ut the actr’s picture/pht frm an ld mvie.
C. It can’t make it seem as if the persn is saying wrds.
D. In Hllywd, the tl is ging t be used t make actrs lk yunger.
39. What can Duncan agree with?
A. The same qualities will help actrs get better jbs.B. All can use actrs’ images free.
C. There will be n future fr the mvie.D. “Deepfakes” can be used in sme parts f the mvie.
40. Which is nt right?
A. Actrs have their wn qualities.
B. Frd agrees t use “Deepfakes”.
C. Digital image is the thing happened in the past.
D. The “Deepfakes” really make many actrs wrried.

Nw, a new AI tl (工具) is used in the making f new mvies.
This new AI tl is called “Deepfakes”. It can take ut the actr’s picture/pht frm an ld mvie and use it t create a “Digital image (数字形象)” fr a new mvie. Fr example, “Deepfakes” can make it seem as if the persn is saying wrds. But in fact, he never said. In Hllywd, the tl has been used t make actrs lk yunger and t slve ther prblems.
Fr Duncan, he thinks actrs have their qualities (特征), such as appearance and vice. These qualities make them different frm the thers. If the mviemakers (制片人) always use “Deepfakes”, these actrs will lse their jbs. Besides, it is unfair t use actrs’ images withut paying mney and the admissin f the authr. While many actrs are wrried abut AI, thers can accept it. Harrisn Frd desn’t mind abut mviemakers using AI. Frd first played Indiana Jnes in the 1980s. Nw he is 80 years ld. By using “Deepfakes”, Frd will appear in the mvie Indiana Jnes and the Dial f Destiny again.
“Thugh I think ‘Deepfakes’ is a gd tl, mviemakers must d it with mre things, such as the actrs’ persnalities instead f just cpying ld mvies. Or everything made in the future is ging t be the cpy f the ld wrks”, said Duncan.
37. What is talked abut in this text?
A. “Deepfakes”.B. Mviemakers.C. The making f new mvies.D. Digital image.
38. What is right abut the new AI tl?
A. This new AI tl is called “Digital image”.
B. It can take ut the actr’s picture/pht frm an ld mvie.
C. It can’t make it seem as if the persn is saying wrds.
D. In Hllywd, the tl is ging t be used t make actrs lk yunger.
39. What can Duncan agree with?
A. The same qualities will help actrs get better jbs.B. All can use actrs’ images free.
C. There will be n future fr the mvie.D. “Deepfakes” can be used in sme parts f the mvie.
40. Which is nt right?
A. Actrs have their wn qualities.
B. Frd agrees t use “Deepfakes”.
C. Digital image is the thing happened in the past.
D. The “Deepfakes” really make many actrs wrried.
