22、 The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams（欺诈）. We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches（数据侵入）of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into "confirming" your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications — using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
【1】How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A.Panicked. B.Confused.
C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.
【2】Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ___________.
A.aim at victims precisely B.damage databases easily
C.start campaigns rapidly D.spread information widely
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
23、We all need to do our part to reduce the effects of climate change by reducing our carbon footprint, and the best way to do that isn’t by switching to LED lightbulbs, driving hybrid cars, or even recycling. It’s by changing our diets to include less meat and more plants. One way to do that is by swapping your beef, chicken, and poultry for plant-based meat.
There’s no question that so-called meatless meat wins when we take the health of our planet into consideration. Plant-based meat, like all foods, has some impact on the environment, but it doesn’t come close to having the sort of impact on the planet that meat does.
Studies have shown that it takes between 2,000 and 8,000 gallons of water to produce a single pound of beef; in contrast, it takes only about 300 gallons to produce one pound of tofu. Plus, livestock (牲畜) production contributes to more groundwater pollution.
And the Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems study found that plant-based meat’s greenhouse gas emissions were 34 percent lower than farmed fish, 43 percent lower than poultry, 63 percent lower than pig, 87 percent lower than beef from dairy cows, and 93 percent lower than beef from beef herds.
But plant-based meat isn’t perfect. All food production requires resources. According to Mark Hyman, MD, the author of Food Fix, most of the environmental concerns around fake meat have to do with industrial farming—particularly the use of ploughing, which destroys soil carbon.
Whether or not meals made with vegetarian meat are better for your body than animal products depends on the recipe. Think about it this way: A steamed chicken breast may be worse for the planet, but it’s better for your body than an Impossible Burger. But an Impossible Burger may be better than a thick piece of beef.
Dr. Hyman wants people to keep in mind that these plant-based meat alternatives are highly processed foods, which are something we should be staying away from, not increasing, in our diets. “Coca-Cola and Doritos are plant-based,” he says. “That doesn’t mean they’re healthy.”
【1】What does the underlined word “swapping” in paragraph one probably mean?
A．Curving.
B．Wrapping.
C．Exchanging.
D．Referring.
【2】What is the function of figures mentioned in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．To show that developing the plant-based meat can protect environment.
B．To show that developing the plant-based meat can save water.
C．To show that developing the plant-based meat never releases greenhouse gas.
D．To show that developing the plant-based meat can waste energy.
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Plant-based meat is healthy for our body.
B．Plant-based meat is more eco-friendly.
C．livestock production does no harm to groundwater.
D．Highly processed foods are good choices.
【4】According to the passage, what is the author’s attitude toward plant-based meat?
A．Negative.
B．Positive.
C．Objective.
D．Subjective.
24、 Mama Cax, a model and motivational speaker, died in 2019 at the age of 30.
The Haitian-born model’s family took to her Instagram account on Friday to announce the tragic news, revealing that she passed away on Monday, Dec. 16th. The news also reads, “To say that Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life’s challenges directly and successfully. It is with that same grit that she fought her last days on Earth.”
When she was 14, Cax was found to have bone and lung cancers and later had to have her right leg cut off. From then on, she wore an artificial leg for the last 16 years of her life. Mama Cax never lost heart. “I recognize how lucky I am and that many can’t afford medical treatments,” said Cax. “I feel like I’m in a position to make a difference and one day I will be an advocate for people with disabilities.”
In addition to walking the runway in New York’s Fashion Week, Cax was a strong advocate for disabled models. She broke down barriers in the fashion world as a disabled model with a history of fighting difficult health battles.
And she was also a successful blogger with a huge following. She wrote blogs about travel, food and fashion and was an inspiration to many people. “Scars, we can hate them but they remain part of us. They tell the stories of our struggle and survival. They represent the battles we’ve won” said Cax. “As women we were used to letting others judge our worth. My advice to any young woman out there is, to know your worth, figure out what you want, set up a plan and go for it.”
Cax loved sports, especially rock climbing. “I like to challenge myself physically. It is difficult but certainly not impossible,” said Cax. In November, 2019, Cax reached another life goal of hers—to finish the New York City Marathon. She appreciated every moment of life, and lived it with delight.

D.Promote your self-improvement from others’ judgment.
【4】Which statement might Cax agree with?

B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Misfortunes cannot stop one’s excellence.
D.The starting point of achievement is desire.

25、My mother and I are making spring rolls in her kitchen. This is my favorite ________ from her native Vietnam, and we’ve been making them together since I was a child. As she works, she sings a song in Vietnamese. As usual, I don’t ________ a word. The song reminds me of another one she used to sing when I was a child. I begged her to sing it over and over, but I ________ asked her what the words meant.
My mother was ________ to become an American. Except for making spring rolls, she acted like a typical American and insisted that we should speak only English at home. I didn’t realize then that she was ________ me having an opportunity to learn Vietnamese, and thus to be ________ to my roots. As a child, I didn’t care to ________ my mother better. She took care of me, and that was ________. As an adult, I can’t know her well enough. ________ her still heavily accented English, my mother often seems to summarize her ________, editing out things that are too difficult to say. When I ask why she didn’t speak Vietnamese to me when I was young, she says, “”Why ________? You’re American!”
Yes, but I am also half-Vietnamese. Without the ________, I am strongly aware that I am only half-never any more. Lately, I’ve been asking my mother to translate phrases into Vietnamese so I can ________ them.
Back in her kitchen, our first batch of spring rolls is ________. “Count them,” my mother commands, “so I know how many more to make.” I shake my head and ask, “Can you do it in Vietnamese?” She smiles and ________, “Mt, hai, ba, bón ...” With that, we are back where we began.
