In today's fast-paced world, few technological advances have generated as much interest and concern as eeptarke AI. The term“deepfake” combines“deep learning” and“fake”, referring to AI systems that employ artificial intelligence and machine learning to produce videos and audio recordings that appear remarkably real. While deepfakes can have positive applications in entertainment and education, their potential for misuse in wrong hand to commit crimes by creating fake news raises significant moral and legal issues.
People train a computer model on a dataset of images and sounds to learn how a person looks and speaks from various angles. A more extensive dataset results in a more convincing deepfake. This process typically uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), where one model generates the fake while another detects it, continuously improving until the fake is highly similar to the real thing.
Deepfakes have diverse functions. In entertainment, they are used to de-age actors or enhance dubbing by imitating a speaker's mouth movements with a target language. In journalism, deepfake technology can recreate realistic scenarios for educational purposes. However, darker applications include creating false narratives for evil purposes, thus requiring close monitoring.
As deepfake technology advances, so do methods for detecting it. Early detection focused on visual clues like unnatural blinking and lip movements, but these signs are becoming less noticeable. Today,detection techniques use advanced AI systems to identify things invisible to the human eye. Additionally,block-chain technology can confirm the authenticity(真实性) of digital media, providing a secure record of original content.
As deepfake technology evolves, it presents exciting possibilities alongside significant risks. While it offers valuable applications across various fields, it also poses serious threats related to misinformation and fraud (诈骗). Collaboration among technology developers, lawmakers, and the public is essential to create regulations that maximize the benefits of deepfake AI while minimizing its dangers.
What is the problem brought by deepfake AI
The slow advances of AI technology. B. The legal issue with machine learning.
C. The increasing addiction to online videos. D. The intended spread of false information.
9. What aspect about deepfakes is mainly discussed in paragraph2
A. Its creation. B. Its definition. C. Its applications. D. Its problems.
10. What can we infer about the use of deepfake technology
A. It brings more benefits than problems. B. It helps actors learn foreign languages.
C. It needs regulations on safe application. D. It enhances the authenticity of journalism.
11. What may be a best title for the text
A. The Possible Ways of Safe AI Application. B. The Double-Edged Nature of AI Deepfakes.
C. A New System for AI Harms Detection. D. A Joint Campaign against False Information.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everybody gets sad from time to time. Cheering someone up is all about taking the time to listen to them, understanding with what they' re going through, and helping them get a bit of clue. 12
Listen to your sad friends. Half of the time, sad or stressed people aren't really looking for an artswer;they just want to be heard and have a chance to let out. Do you know why they' re sad Do they seem like sharing their feelings with you 13
Ask them relevant questions. There's no better way to get involved in the conversation other than asking questions, especially questions about how the other person feels. 14 Instead, your questions should motivate the person to talk about their feelings.
15 After figuring out just what the problem is, take a bit of time to think over what their best choice of action might be. Let them know you have an idea of what they could do. If you don't, be honest to them. Take them to a person who has a better fix for the problem than you have.
Get face to face if possible. For as great and easy technology makes life, it can also make everything a bit more difficult. It's tempting to want to send your friend a nice message via text, but that probably won't do it. 16 . Since so much of life is spent behind a screen now, paying a face-to-face visit really means something.
A. Give them advice when asked.
B. Share a similar story if appropriate.
C. It's best to show you really care in person.
D. Pull up a chair and give them a shoulder to cry on.
E.Here are steps to help your friends start on the way to healing.

阅读所给材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This incident occurred during our trip to Cape Cod,a beautiful sea resort about three-hour drive from the city of Boston.
Our daughter Margaret who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston that morning. We decided to return home on our own as we thought that we could catch a local train back to Salem from Boston. Margaret insisted that she come to pick us up in the evening but we were confident of our ability to find our way and, not wanting to trouble her, refused her offer.
We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. Yet by mistake, we got off the bus one stop before the actual Boston commuter rail station. My husband insisted that he had a very good memory and a keen sense of direction and so I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. It was not until around the rail's closing hour that we realized we were completely lost with the station nowhere in sight! It being a Sunday, the roads were deserted with not many people walking around. Worse still, our phones were out of battery. That was when we saw a young man coming from the opposite direction. We approached him and explained the situation. On hearing our problem, he personally took us to the station just a few blocks away.
Upon reaching there, we found to our disappointment that the dollar coins which we put into the ticket machine just fell through the outlet without printing our tickets. “Only credit card works,” a woman told us before she left.
Obviously, we confidently brought with us no credit card but only enough coins for the return tickets.As we turned around, we saw the young man still there.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With no second choice, we explained to him our new embarrassment.
On reaching home, we realized we did not have his name or contact details.

Dear Tom,
I'm Li Hua. I'm really excited about the "English Corner" you are planning to organize. Here are my suggestions.
First, we can set different topics for each "English Corner" session. For example, topics like "My Favorite Travel Experience", "The Most Impressive Book I've Read", etc. This way, everyone can have more things to talk about and it can also broaden our horizons.
Second, it would be great if we could invite some native English speakers or foreign students from other classes to join us sometimes. They can bring different cultures and ways of thinking, which will make the "English Corner" more interesting and international.
My reasons for these suggestions are as follows. Setting different topics can avoid the situation where we don't know what to say and can encourage everyone to actively participate. Inviting other native speakers or foreign students can give us more opportunities to practice real - life English and learn about different cultures directly.
Thank you for organizing this activity. I'm looking forward to the "English Corner".
Yours,
Li Hua
**第二节 续写参考**
With no second choice, we explained to him our new embarrassment. The young man's face showed no sign of impatience. Instead, he immediately pulled out his wallet and used his credit card to buy our tickets. He then led us to the waiting area and told us the approximate time the train would arrive. We were so moved by his kindness that we could hardly find the right words to express our gratitude.
On reaching home, we realized we did not have his name or contact details. We felt a tinge of regret for not being able to thank him properly. However, his selfless act became a warm memory in our hearts. We told our daughter Margaret about this experience. She was also deeply touched. We all agreed that his kindness was like a bright star in the journey, and we would be inspired by him to offer help to others whenever possible, spreading this positive energy in our daily lives.
e.
