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. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round,for______.

Athey can remain young

Bit is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter

Cthey find it enjoyable and interesting

Dthey might meet fewer troubles in life

The sea is very big.Look at a map of the world.There is less land than sea.The sea covers three quarters of the world. The sea is very deep in some places. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometres deep.The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high.If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometres of water above it. If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt.Rivers,which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are less salty than other parts.There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty.Because it is very salty,swimmers cannot sink!Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down.There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are very small.It is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating them. The sea can be very cold.Divers,who dive deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal.

3. Which of the following is NOT true？

AFish cannot live in the salty sea.

BThe sea gets its salt from rivers.

CDifferent parts of the sea have different amount of salt.

DThere is no fish in the Dead Sea.
