21、 How can you tell when Valentine’s Day (情人节) is coming? All those heart-shaped chocolate boxes in the store are a good clue (线索). So are those boxes actually shaped like the heart inside your body?
In fact, your heart is not shaped like a heart. It looks more like a peach. It is about the size of your fist (拳头). In most cases, it is in the left of your chest (胸口). The human heart weighs about 250 grams. When a man is in a quiet state, his heart beats about 70 times a minute. When a person does very hard exercise, his heart beats can reach 150 to 180 times each minute.
The heart is one of the most important organs(器官) in the human body. It is made up of four “rooms”. When your heart contracts, the “rooms” get smaller. The main function (功能) of the heart is to provide pressure for blood flow and run blood to all parts of the body. When your heart relaxes, blood will come back into your heart and “rooms” get bigger.
Your heart keeps pumping blood throughout your body. It transports important nutrients to all the areas of your body. The health of the heart is very important to us. Please take care of your heart. Do you agree with my opinion?
【1】When _______________is coming, many heart-shaped chocolate boxes will be put in the store.
A.the Mid-Autumn Day B.National Day C.the Tomb-Sweeping Day D.Valentine’s Day

22、 News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world’s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession.
Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax — and her reactions change as she continues reading. That’s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?
To find the answer, we have to analyze the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the AI news anchor reads, the micro- electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.
Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep learning technology to make a robot imitate a person’s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text for the AI to learn and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyze the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to learn, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs
Both the technologies used to make Xin’s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third — the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin’s expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xin’s expressions don’t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities.
【1】What does the underlined word “reluctant” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Delighted B.Unwilling
C.Confused D.Optimistic
【2】What can we infer about previous news robots?
A.They read news without expressions. B.They looked like a human being.
C.They could interview sports stars. D.They could interact with audience.
【3】From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that .
A.human news anchors should learn from AI anchors to save their jobs
B.Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at present
C.Al news anchors won’t replace human news anchors in the near future
D.Xin Xiaomeng’s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life
