26、Can artificial intelligence uncover a liar? It sounds like science fiction, but such an AI system is possible. The question is: How accurate can it be? Rada Mihalcea, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, has worked on deception(欺骗) detection for about a decade. This is how they constructed one AI deception detector, and how it works.

The first thing that researchers working on artificial intelligence and machine learning need is data. In the case of the work that Mihalcea did, they began with videos from actual court cases. For example, a defendant speaking in a trial in which they were found guilty could provide an example of deceit(欺骗); they also used testimony(证词) from witnesses as either example of truthful or deceitful statements. Altogether, they used 121 video clips and the corresponding transcripts of what they said—about half represented deceptive statements, and half truthful. It was this data that they used to build machine learning classifiers that ultimately had between a 60 to 75 percent accuracy rate.

One thing the system noticed is the use of pronouns—people who are lying would tend to less often use the word ‘I’ or ‘we’, Mihalcea explains. “Instead, people who are lying would more often use ‘you,’ ‘yours,’ ‘he,’ ‘they,’ and ‘she.’” That’s not the only linguistic signal: someone telling a lie would use “stronger words” that “reflect certainty,” she says. Examples of those types of words are “absolutely,” and “very,” while interestingly, people telling the truth were more likely to use words such as “maybe” or “probably.” “I think people who are deceptive would try to make up for the lie they are putting forward,” she says, “and so they try to seem more certain of themselves.” As for gestures, she points out that someone being deceitful would more likely look directly into the eyes of the person questioning them. They also tended to use both hands when gesturing. Instead of just one—also, she suspects, as part of trying to be convincing.

However, Mihalcea’s work is “far from perfection,” she concedes. “As a researcher, we are content that we were able to get to 75 percent accuracy.” But looked at another way, that’s an error rate of one in four. Ultimately, she sees technology like this as being assistive for people—it could, for example, indicate that it noticed something “unusual” in a speaker’s statement, and then perhaps have a person “investigate more.”

【1】Why did the researchers gather testimony from the court?

A．To test the accuracy of AI deception detector.

B．To provide data base for machine learning.

C．To help the judges find the guilty people.

D．To understand how deception works.

【2】According to Professor Mihalcea, which is a symbol of deception?

A．Avoiding direct eye contact.

B．Using first-person pronouns.

C．Gesturing with only one hand.

D．Trying to be sure of themselves.

【3】What does Professor Mihalcea think of the new technology?

A．Flawed but promising.

B．Unsatisfying but helpful.

C．Accurate and meaningful.

D．Imperfect and impractical.

【4】Which will be the best title for this passage?

A．Will AI Rid the World of Liars?

B．What Can AI Do for Us in Court?

C．Where Is AI Leading Us in the Future?

D．Can AI Become a Convincing Detective?

27、   For the first time since my open-heart operation, have the energy to take my harp to the hospital rooms and play for anyone who likes it.

I checked in with two nurses and they gave me a list of rooms. The first man I played for was a patient who found it difficult to sleep. He smiled and with his eyes closed, he reached out to my harp. He was not interested in my voice, but he appreciated the harp. In the next room was a woman patient. I played some soft music for her and then she slept soundly.

Then I found a lovely elderly woman who was awake. There were flowers everywhere and photos of her and her husband at her bedside. She held my hand and talked for some time and was pleased to receive harp music. Playing for her was a special pleasure. She asked me how long I had been playing the harp, how much the harp weighed, how I learned it and why I wanted to learn it and so on.

We talked about books for a bit as well. I played until her grandson came in and he came back from overseas to see her. This woman was deeply loved — you could see that. She was beautiful and kind. I learn so much from these beautiful people who are brave to face their illnesses. It is always such a great honor to play for them.

28、   What makes a person a giver or a taker? The idea of "give vs. take" takes shape in all interactions (互动)and relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis, if not an hourly one.

According to Adam Grant, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to improve and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.

Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this?

A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles, a professor at Harvard University, focused on this question. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss salary rise. Male "employees" asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.

As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and attention to others. I expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted(被认为当然). I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it's safe to say I'm 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker.

I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They're continually devoting their time, sharing valuable insights (见解) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they've changed the lives of many people, they hardly see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they're now extremely successful, well known for what they do.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．Most people think they are givers.

B．People are not always givers or takers.

C．An individual is born to be a giver or a taker.

D．Few differences exist between givers and takers.

【2】What can we learn from Grant’s opinion?

A．Most people hate takers.

B．Most people prefer giving to taking.

C．Most people enjoy relying on themselves.

D．Most people balance giving and taking.

【3】What did Hannah's study focus on?

A．The role of giving and taking in jobs.

B．The gender difference in giving and taking.

C．The role of men and women in society.

D．The salary difference between women and men.

【4】Which of the following represents the author’s point of view?

A．Giving is the shortest path to success.

B．Sharing is the greatest human quality.

C．No good deed goes undone.

D．Givers are worth respecting.

29、The United States of America is mainly an English-speaking country. The majority of the population speak English as their native language. Besides, education, social activities, etc. are conducted in English. Across but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English.

However, not everyone in the USA is a native speaker of English. Most immigrants(移民) are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the USA where English is not the most commonly used languages. Chinese, Italian, German, Greek, Spanish and French are all spoken in various communities in the USA. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country. For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to pick up the language by meeting with others in public. Recently, this has changed.

Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL(English as a Second Language) programs; American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will use it. Therefore, ESL programs offer different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public. Other programs teach the kind of English people who will need for their jobs. American ESL instructional methods do not lay emphasis on grammar or translation, but on the importance of communication. The goal is to get the English learners to learn by using the language.

【1】   is the most widely used language in most parts of the USA.

A. Chinese   B. English

C. Spanish   D. French

【2】In old days, the non-English immigrants   .

A. paid little attention to learning English

B. didn’t have much chance to learn English

C. also spoke English as their native language

D. never thought learning English was important

【3】The underlined phrase “pick up” in Para.2 means   .

A. to lift up   B. to recover

C. to collect   D. to learn

【4】What do American ESL programs think is the most important in learning English?

A. Learning difficult grammar.

B. Doing much translation.

C. Finding a good job.

D. Using the language.

Now, let me say a few words to our American friends. Climate change is one of the major【1】of our time. It is already changing our daily lives but it is global. Everyone is impacted.

To all the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say they will find in France a second homeland.

I reaffirm clearly that Paris agreement will remain irreversible and will be【5】not just by France, but by all the other nations.
