21、Deepfake technology is now a threat to everyone

Last October, MIT Prof. Sinan Aral warned his Twitter followers that he had discovered a video of himself that he hadn’t recorded supporting an investment fund’s stock-trading algorithm (算法). In reality, it wasn’t Prof. Aral in the video, but an artificial-intelligence creation in his likeness, or what is known as a highly persuasive “deepfake.”

It is striking that scammers (诈骗犯) targeted Prof. Aral, considering he is a leading expert on the study of misinformation online. 【1】 Thanks to a number of free deepfake apps that are just a click away, anyone can become a victim of such a scam.

The term deepfake has come to mean the use of AI to create fake media in which someone appears to be doing or saying what in reality they haven’t done or said. 【2】 But positive use cases are likely to be overshadowed in coming years by the technology’s potential role in financial scam, identity theft, etc.

Another big challenge is that in an online world where people can upload content of unknown names, it can be difficult to find the individuals behind deepfakes. 【3】

One such solution is to detect deepfakes through machine-learning methods. While these detectors can be successful in the short term, people looking to avoid such systems will likely just respond with better technology, creating a continuing and expensive cat-and-mouse game. 【4】 While lawmaking eventually may offer protection against deepfakes, I believe the market could be quicker — provided we, as consumers and citizens, care.

A．The technology isn’t always misused.

B．It also suggests that deepfake technology is now at a turning point.

C．The technology is moving so fast that lawmakers will likely always fall behind.

D．That is why I believe we are going to have to rely on technology to protect us from a problem it helped create.

E．A better approach with a longer time horizon is media provenance systems to confirm the origins of images and videos.

F．To be effective in practice, such systems would have to be widely adopted by all content creators, which will take time.

23、   In a lot of other states in America, warm sunny days mean lazy afternoons are spent on the beach. In Oregon , people pack hiking shoes with their bathing suits. Here are 3 incredible hikes for you.

Cascade Head Preserve

Distance:6.8 miles

Difficulty : Moderate

Nearest Town : Lincoln City

Managed by international nonprofit The Nature Conservancy, the Cascade Head Preserve is an excellent hike that typically marks the division between the north and central Oregon coast. There are upper and lower trailheads(道路的起点)，with about 3.4 miles of trail between the two.

Cape Lookout

Distance : 5 miles

Difficulty : Easy

Of all the Capes (岬角)on the Oregon coast, Cape Lookout might be the most famous, projecting 1.5 miles into the ocean. Visitors can tackle the five-mile, round-trip hike to the tip of the cape which passes several incredible views over the Pacific Ocean. Separate trails lead down to South Beach and the Campground.

Clatsop Loop Hike

Distance : 3 miles

There are several trails that traverse Tillamook Head at Ecola State Park , but the Clatsop Loop Hike takes top honor for its breathtaking Cliffside views and quiet forested paths. Take, the seaside trail from Indian Beach to the Hikers Camp, then take the forested path back. If you really want to take up the challenge, you can also hike the backside of Ecola for an additional 4 miles (one way) to a trailhead in seaside.

24、   Last summer, bird-watchers confirmed the discovery of a new species of bird in Cambodia（柬埔寨）: the Combodian tailorbird. It was not an event of particular biological significance but it was striking for one reason: This species of tailorbird was discovered not in an unspoiled rain forest but within the limits of Combodia’s capital, Phnom Penh.

We don’t typically think of the city as a likely habitat for natural life except rats and pigeons（鸽子）, let alone as a hiding place for an undiscovered species of bird. But a new paper, published last week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, proves it incorrect. A team of 24 researchers has studied birds and plants in 147 cities, and found that cities much more closely resemble their native habitats than they resemble each other.

It’s also true that in the world of birds and plants, as in human society, there is such thing as a world species who feels equally at home in Francisco, Milan and Beijing. Four birds appear in more than 80 percent of the cities studied, and 11 plants in more than 90 percent of the cities. On the plant side, those include meadow grass, shepherd’s purse, weeds. In the air, it’s the usual species: the pigeon, the house sparrow and the European starling（惊鸟）. They all have become completely adapted to urban life.

However, not all cities are equal protectors of plants and animals, though. City design plays an important role in greening a city. In fact, the amount of green space is a stronger predictor of the biodiversity than a city’s size.

In a world where architecture, food, language, fashion and commerce are increasingly globalized, a city’s native plants and animals are considered as a kind of city identity. Cities tend to become similar, but their natural environments stand differently apart.

【1】What does the author think of the discovery of the Cambodian tailorbird?

A.It is just an exception.

B.It is a wonder for the Cambodians.

C.It is an amazing biological event.

D.It is very common in the world.

【2】Weeds and sparrows are found in many cities. This seems to be a result of ________.

A.complete adaption

B.natural selection

C.good urban design

D.rapid globalization

【3】We can learn that while cities tend to become similar, their natural environments ________.

A.are becoming worse

B.remain diverse

C.are expanding in size

D.stay unchanged

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.The Discovery of New Species of Bird in Cambodia

B.The Similarity of the Habitats in Different Cities

C.City’s Native Plants and Animals—A Kind of City Identity

D.City—Protector of Native Plants and Animals
