News anchrs(主持人) must have been reluctant and felt it was like science fictin t read ut the fllwing news: Xin Xiameng began wrking as the wrld's first female artificial intelligence news anchr at Xinhua News Agency n Sunday, three mnths after a male rbt jined the prfessin.
Unlike previus news rbts thugh, Xin des nt read news like a cld machine; she reads it mre like a human being. The muscles n her face stretch and relax—and her reactins change—as she cntinues reading. That's why many news anchrs are wrried: Will AI replace us in the near future?
T find the answer, we have t analyse the technlgies that supprt Xin at her jb. Three key technlgies are used t supprt Xin. First, samples f human vices are cllected and synthesized (合成). This is fllwed by the cllectin and synthesis f human muscle mvement samples. Third, the vices and mvements are married(相结合) in a way that when the AI news anchr reads, the micr electric mtrs behind her face mve t make her expressins seem mre human.
Yet we need a thrugh knwledge f deep learning technlgy t make a rbt imitate a persn's vice. The develper needs t cllect tens f thusands f pieces f prnunciatins, input them int the machine and match them with the text fr the AI t learn and read. The prcess f imitating facial mvements is similar. The develper has t analyse the mvements f the 43 muscles in the human face, make a mdel set frm the cllected data fr the AI news anchr t learn, and imitate the mvements f facial muscles via prgrams.
Bth the technlgies used t make Xin's perfrmance impressive are mature, whereas the real difficulty lies in the third—the technlgy t match the prnunciatins with facial mvements s that Xin's expressins vary accrding t the cntent f the news reprt. In fact, Xin's expressins dn't always change accrding t the cntent. As a result, her expressins lk anything but human. Actually, AI is still n match fr human qualities.
24.What des the underlined wrd “reluctant” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Delighted. B.Unwilling.
C.Cnfused. D.Optimistic.
25.What can we learn abut previus news rbts?
A.They read news withut expressins.
B.They lked like a human being.
C.They culd interview sprts stars.
D.They culd interact with audience.
26.What d we knw abut the third technlgy?
A.This technlgy is very perfect s far.
B.This technlgy is quite ppular nw.
C.This technlgy remains at the theretical stage.
D.This technlgy is far frm mature.
27.What cnclusin can we draw frm the last paragraph?
A.Human news anchrs shuld learn frm AI anchrs t save their jbs.
B.AI news anchrs perfrm much better than human news anchrs at present.
C.AI news anchrs wn't replace human news anchrs in the near future.
D.Xin Xiameng's expressins vary s naturally that they are true t life.

While the start f a new schl year is always exciting, this year was even mre s fr sme elementary schl students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the wrld's first kids t be “taught” by a digital teacher, just like in the science fictin. Befre yu start imagining a human-like rbt pacing arund the classrm, Will is just an avatar(化身) that appears n the students' desktp, r the smartphne screen, when rdered t cme.
The autnmus animatin platfrm has been mdeled after the human brain and nervus system, allwing it t shw human-like behavir. The digital teacher is assigned t teach Vectr's “Be sustainable with energy”—a free prgram fr Auckland's elementary schls.
Just like the humans it replaces, Will is able t instantly react t the students' respnses t the tpic. Thanks t a webcam and a micrphne, the avatar nt nly respnds t questins the kids may have, but als picks up nn-verbal cues randmly. Fr instance, if a student smiles at Will, he respnds by smiling back. This tw-way interactin nt nly helps attract the students' attentin, but als allws the prgram's develpers t mnitr their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars culd be a nvel way t catch the attentin f the next generatin. He says, “I have a lt f hpes fr this technlgy as a means t deliver cst-effective, rich and educatinal experience in the future.”
The prgram, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “What was fascinating t me was the reactin f the children t Will. The way they lk at the wrld is s creative and different, and Will really captured their attentin. Hwever, regardless f hw ppular it becmes, Will is unlikely t replace human educatrs any time sn.”
28.What was special fr sme elementary schl students in Auckland?
A.A digital teacher taught them.
B.They first saw smething digital.
C.This was the start f a new schl year.
D.They culd get clse t the smartphne screen.
29.What is the benefit f this tw-way interactin?
A.It can smile back. B.It can use the micrphne.
C.It can talk any tpic fr free. D.It can change if necessary.
30.What's Ravishankar's attitude t Will's replacing human educatrs sn?
A.Optimistic. B.Dubtful.
C.Unclear. D.Disapprving.
31.What might be the best title fr the passage?
A.New High Tech Cntributes t Educatin
B.The Wrld's First Digital Teacher Appears in the Classrm
C.The Wrld's First Digital Teacher, a Help t Students
D.New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrms
