11．Synthetic voices （合成語音） are everywhere.They feed us directions in the morning，guide us through phone calls by day and broadcast the news on smart speakers at night.And as the technology used to make them improves，these voices are becoming more and more human-sounding.This is the final frontier in synthetic speech：copying not just what we say exactly but how we say it.
Rupal Patel heads a research group at Northeastern University that studies speech prosody （韻律）—the changes in pitch，loudness and duration that we use to convey intention and emotion through voice. "Sometimes people think of it as the icing （糖霜） on the cake，" she explains. "You have the message，and I really think it's the scaffolding （腳手架） that gives meaning to the message itself."
Patel says she grew interested in prosody after finding it was the only element of vocal communication that seemed to be available to people with some kinds of severe speech disorders.These patients were able to make expressive sounds even if they could not speak clearly.In 2014 Patel founded a company to create custom synthetic voices for nonspeaking individuals.VocaliD has since expanded to commercial brands and influencers.
Synthetic speech has come a long way over the years.People have been trying to synthesize speech since at least the 18th century，when an Austro-Hungarian inventor built a rough copy of the human vocal tract
（聲道） that could pronounce entire phrases clearly.
Current machine-learning techniques can model human speech，and complete with awkward pauses and sounds made by lips.Still，training on thousands of samples per second is prohibitively expensive for most real-world systems.Researchers，including those at VocaliD，are continually employing newer and more efficient methods.But even as the remaining gaps between human and synthetic speech are steadily closing，truly lifelike prosody continues to fail to meet the requirement of even the most complicated systems.Maybe what's still missing requires machines not only to imitate humans but also to feel like us.
（1）What is the challenge for current synthetic voices？
A．Recognizing speakers.
B．Saving human speech.
C．Conveying intention and emotion.
D．Getting speakers to become smarter.
（2）Why did Rupal Patel set up VocaliD？
A．To help patients to make expressive sounds.
B．To expand his commercial brands and influence.
C．To develop various elements for synthetic voices.
D．To build voices for people with speech disorders.
（3）What can be inferred about synthetic speech？
A．It exactly equals human speech.
B．It is on the way to being perfect.
C．It can bridge gaps between people.
D．It contains more beautiful prosody.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Synthetic Voices Will Replace Human Speech.
B．VocaliD Has Found a Cure for Speech Disorders.
C．Machines Teach People to Communicate Well.
D．Artificial Intelligence Is Good at Sounding Human.組卷：12引用：1難度：0.5 -

13． Florence Nightingale was born in Florence，Italy，while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe.As a child，she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17，she told her family that she was going to help sick people.Her parents did not approve，but Nightingale was determined.
She travelled to hospitals all over Europe.She saw that doctors were working too hard.She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care.Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more，they needed special training in how to take care of sick people.Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing.Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness.These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854，England was fighting a war with Russia.No reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded.People demanded that something be done about it.A leader of the government asked Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals.So，in November 1854，Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital.
She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first，the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals.They did not believe that women could help.But in fact，the nurses did make a difference.They worked around the clock，tending the sick.Thanks to their hard work，many wounded soldiers survived.

15． Never overlook the pleasure of reading a great work of fiction.（1）
Men who read it develop their minds by not only educating themselves with new information but also learning how to think.Reading works of fiction makes a better man.
（2）Reading literary fiction develops our vocabulary，strengthens our speech，and makes us a better writer.Literary fiction，rather than easy-to-read fiction，has the potential to expand our vocabulary because while it exposes us to new thoughts and ideas，it does so through plenty of grammatical styles，forms of wording and undiscovered words.
Fiction is culture.（3）Reading reveals different cultures and attitudes from a variety of people from various time periods and places.Each great work of fiction is beautiful and an important piece of culture that shapes the different cultures which treasure it.
Fiction develops our theory of mind.（4）A developed theory of mind allows a person to interact socially and use their cognitive abilities to read thoughts，feelings，and emotions.Studies have found that works of literary fiction can impact our theory of mind so that we may guess motives and thoughts in social situations based on experiences gained from fiction.
When we read literature，we'll learn things about the world，others and ourselves.（5）
A．Fiction expands our creativity.
B．Fiction expands our vocabulary.
C．Reading great fiction puts us ahead of the pack.
D．Just as each painting tells a story，so does a novel.
E．Thus，the power of literature should not be underestimated.
F．Fiction influences how we think so that we may discover new ideas.
G．It is the realization that other people have different beliefs and desires from their own.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5

18．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I was a shy 13-year-old boy that year，afraid to speak before people and poor at communicating with others.My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation，hoping it would make a difference to me.Although I hated it and didn't believe it would bring any change to me，I had to accept it.The part-time job fell on Monday of each week.
On the first Monday，I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant.And when I was speaking with them，my face turned red and my voice was low.On my way back home，I felt so bad.But when I reached home，my bad feelings disappeared.I found my parents had brought home a pet cat，which I had expected to get for a long period of time.The cat was so lovely.
However，one Thursday，he secretly ran out and disappeared.We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing.We lived in the city，close to a high-traffic road，and this cat didn't have "street smarts".I guessed he would probably die and wouldn't be home again.And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him，I quite believed he wouldn't be home again.My parents told me "A miracle （奇跡） may happen as long as you don't give up." However，I quite doubted it.
O n the morning of the following Monday，I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away.While waiting for the bus there，I thought about the work and felt upset.It wouldn't be helpful to me and it was tiring!How much I wanted to quit the job!And thinking of the cat，I felt even worse.
Since it was still early，I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope.I told myself， "If I still fail to find him this time，I won't look for him again." Then，I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around.Minutes later，suddenly，a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye.
注意：
（1）續寫詞數應為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
My eyes widened，and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.
Encouraged，I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job.
