The next time you try for a high-ranking post,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending （推荐）phone call“made”by US President George W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Of course,neither of them could really do that for you—you would just“borrow”their voices. AT & T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life. The software,which turns printed text into speech,makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said. Possible customers for the software,which is priced in the thousands of dollars,includes telephone call centers，companies that make software that reads digital（数字的）files aloud，and makers of automated voice devices（装置）.The advances raise several problems. Who，for example，owns the rights to a famous person’s voice？ Some experts even believe that new contracts（合同）will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud（假冒），would the synthesized（合成的）voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know？ Even Mr.Fruchterman,one of AT & T labs' possible first customers,said he wondered what the new technology might bring.“Just like you can’t trust photograph any more.”he said,“you won’t be able to trust a voice either.

1. According to the passage,you can infer that_____.

Athe software will turn out to be an immediate success in the market

Bthe government will forbid the sale of the software in the market

Cit's hard to decide whether the software will enjoy popularity

Dthe software will soon prove to be nothing but rubbish

When did you last see a polar bear？On a trip to a zoo，perhaps？ If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These“Polar Bears”are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a bit higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming-They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system（循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into the water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

2. According to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that______.

Ayou are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

Bcold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

Ccold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

DPolar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times. About three decades ago， French was recognized as the language of diplomacy（外交），and German was considered the language of science and technology. English now dominates（主导）not only as the language of science but also diplomacy,computing,and tourism. Today,in terms of native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the world's largest language. Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world. Some have even fixed the date as early as the year 2020. At present,while English is more widely spoken than any other language, there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone. If China does become a world power,there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide. As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues, there are many who feel that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible（不可逆的）.However，a separate study from David Graddol's suggests that English's dominance in the scientific area will continue. There is also an argument that the English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons. With the possibility of China rising as a world power, Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.

AChina becomes a real world power

BChina has a larger population

C China has the modern technology

Dmore tourists come to China
