thing.

I first truly understood this when I became ill with 41 problems in my 20s. It was well over a year 42 I began to feel anything like normal again. In my mind, days 43 out for what felt like weeks, and that year still feels like half a lifetime. Time was the 44 , in that sense, but in another way it was a friend.

Depression told me a lot of 45 that time could disprove. It told me I wouldn?t be alive to see my 25th birthday, 46 that by Christmas Yd be confined (禁闭) to a padded cell wearing a straightjacket. Time was the one thing bigger than 47 itself. And I could feel its 48 as I built up days and weeks and months. It was the currency I traded in and 49 . Eventually, very 50 , my mind readjusted itself and 51 the lies that depression was telling it.

So, I have a( n) 52 relationship to lime. I do have worries about growing old, like everyone, hut 1 would have 53 worries about not growing old.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A Trip to Jurassic World

Jurassic World, the 2015 hit movie, thrilled fans with its breathtaking description of dinosaurs. In the movie, scientists create a hybrid (混血的) dinosaur at a theme park on Isla Nublar, a fictional island in the Pacific Ocean. Excitement turns to terror when the hybrid, Indominus rex (暴虐霸王龙), goes on a killing spree.

Now, an exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, brings Isla Nublar to life. “Jurassic World: The Exhibition” features eight animatronic (电动的) dinosaurs. Visitors can walk among the lifelike creatures, some of which are more than 20 feet tall. The animals not only move, they roar, their leathery skin crinkling.

A FASCINATION WITH DINOSAURS

Tom Swerski is the exhibitions operations director at the natural history museum. He hopes that the exhibit will inspire future scientists who study fossils.

“People have been fascinated by dinosaurs for generations,” Swerski says. “Helping to arouse that imagination is one of the benefits of the exhibit.”

On a walking tour, kids can design their own dinosaur al the Hammond Creation Lab, which has equipment that was used in Jurassic World, and witness the action in the Raptor Training Paddock. Visitors can also get a glance at the movie?s top-secret project: Indominus rex.

FACE - TO - FACE WITH SUE

Swerski says that the Field Museum is a fitting place for the exhibit. The museum has one of the best dinosaur fossil collections in the world. The collection includes fossils from six dinosaurs that are part of the Jurassic World exhibit.

After seeing the lifelike dinosaurs in the huge lent outside, visitors come face-to-face inside with the skeleton (骨架) of Sue, the world?s largest and most complete T. Rex ever found.

The exhibit runs through January 7, 2018.

56. What can visitors do in the museum exhibit according to the text?

Until recently, voice cloning—or voice banking, as it was then known— was a bespoke (定制的) industry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer or surgery. Creating a synthetic (合成的) copy of a voice was a lengthy and pricey process. It meant recording many phrases, each spoken many times, with different emotional emphases and in different contexts, in order to cover all possible pronunciations. A voice-banking company often charges a lot and requires a speaker to spend days in a sound studio.

Not any more. Software exists that can store slices of recorded speech a mere five milliseconds long, each noted with a precise pitch (音调). These can be shuffled together to make new words, and changed individually so that they fit harmoniously into their new sound homes. This is much cheaper than conventional voice banking, and permits novel uses lo be developed. With little effort, a wife can lend her voice to her blind husband?s screen-reading software. A boss can give his to workplace robots. Parents often away on business can personalise their children?s wirelessly connected talking toys. And so on. At least, that is the vision of Gershon Silbert, boss of VivoText, a voice-cloning firm in Tel Aviv.

Next year VivoText plans to release an app that lets users select the emphasis, speed and level of happiness or sadness with which individual words and phrases are produced. Yet this power also troubles him. Any voice— including that of a stranger—can be cloned if proper recordings are available on YouTube or elsewhere. Researchers at the University of Alabama, Birmingham were able to use Festvox to clone voices based on only five minutes of speech found online.

As might be expected, countermeasures to sniff out such a trick are being developed. Nuance Communications, a maker of voice-activated software, is working on a set of rules that detect tiny skips in frequency at the points where slices of speech are stuck together. It may help computers flag up suspicious speech. Even so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might he created in a world which makes it easy to put

authentic-sounding words into the mouths of adversaries(敌手)-be they colleagues or heads of state. 58. Voice banking is the recording of one?s natural voice . A. for the possibility of losing one?s voice B. without a long time but at a high cost C. with emphasis on various emotions D. in the form of repeated sentences

59. What can be done with the new app according to the passage? A. Voices can be cloned very cheaply online. B. New uses may be developed to cut the cost. C. People may imitate speech easily and precisely. D. Parents can type their voices in a home recorder. 60. What can we infer from the passage? A. The new software is fundamentally insecure. B. Language cannot be switched very naturally. C. Some safely measures have already been taken. D. People can recognise cloned speech without effort.

C

THREE jihadist (圣战分子) attacks in Britain have led to a flood of suggestions about how to fight terrorism, from more police and tougher prison sentences to new legal powers. But one idea has gained popularity that Internet firms are doing the jihadists? work for them. Technology giants, such as Google and Facebook, are accused of turning a blind eye to violent online propaganda (宣传) and other platforms of allowing terrorists to communicate with each other out of reach of the intelligence services.

It is only the latest such charge. The technology firms have also been condemned for allowing the spread of fake news to make profits. In the past they were accused of enabling people to escape copyright and of hosting child pornography (色情).

For as long as there have been data networks, people have exploited them to cause harm. The Internet, with billions of users and unlimited processing power, is the most powerful network of all. It was bound to become the focus of wrongdoers.

That does not mean it should be wrapped in government red tape. Openness online is especially valuable because it allows “permissionless” innovation. Anyone can publish an article, upload a video or distribute a piece of software lo a global audience. Freedom from the responsibilities that burden other media companies has served
