27、requirements of working as a freelance writerBPolice around the world have for almost 100 years relied on lie detectors to help spot criminals. But there has long been much skepticism in the scientific and legal communities about the lie detectors reliability. Hopefully, it could soon be no longer i
28、n use.Researchers in Britain and the Netherlands have made a breakthrough, developing a more reliable method to help conduct interviews. Rather than just record changes in pulse, blood pressure, sweating and breathing, the new system involves monitoring full-body motions to provide an indicator of s
29、igns of guilty feelings. There is a basic fact that liars tend to keep moving their hands and feet and so an all-body motion suit will pick this up. The suit contains 17 sensors that record movement in 23 joints up to 120 times per second.“The lie detector has been around since the 1920s and by meas
30、uring physiological stress caused by anxiety, you can only get a success rate of about 60%.”, said Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at Cambridge University. He said the new method, by contrast, achieved a reliability rating of over 70% and he was quite sure that they would be able to
31、 do better. In one of their experiments, the team has already achieved more than 80%.The experiment involved 180 students and employees at Lancaster University, of which half were told to tell the truth and half to lie. They were each paid 7.50 for their participation in the 70-minute experiment, in
32、volving two test.Some were interviewed about a computer game “Never End” that they played for seven minutes, while others lied about playing it having only been shown notes about it.The second test involved a lost wallet containing 5. Some were asked to bring the wallet to a lost-and-found box while
33、 others hid it and lied about it.“Overall, we correctly classified 82.2% of the interviewees as either being truthful or dishonest.”, the report said.But the use of all-body suits is expensive they cost about 30,000 and can be uncomfortable, so Anderson and his colleagues are now looking at low-cost
34、 alternatives.58. The researchers used the all-body motion suit to _.A. discover peoples joint problems B. record peoples changes in their healthC. help find out interviewees mental activities D. prevent liars from moving their hands and feet- 6 -59. What is the main disadvantage of the lie detector
35、?A. It has a low success rate B. It is very uncomfortableC. It is too complex to use D. It costs a lot of money60. How does Anderson feel about the new method?A. Confused B. Confident C. Doubtful D. DisappointedCUntil recently, voice cloning or voice banking, as it was then known was a customized in
36、dustry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer or surgery. Synthesizing（合成） a voice was a long and expensive process. It meant recording many phrases, each spoken many times, with different emotional emphases（重音） and in different contexts (statement, question, command and
37、so forth), in order to cover all possible pronunciations. Not any more. Software exists that can store pieces of recorded speech which is merely five milliseconds long, each marked with a precise pitch（音高）. These can be put together to make new words, and adjusted individually so that they fit harmo
38、niously into their new sonic homes. This is much cheaper than conventional voice banking, and permits novel uses to be developed. This year Vivo Text plans to release an app that lets users select the emphasis, speed and level of happiness or sadness with which individual words and phrases are produ
39、ced. Mr. Silbert refers to the emotive quality of the human voice as “the ultimate instrument”. Yet this power also troubles him. Vivo Text licenses its software to Hasbro, an American toymaker keen to sell increasingly interactive playthings. Hasbro is aware, Mr. Silbert notes, that without safegua
40、rds a naughty child might, for example, type impolite words on his mothers smartphone in order to see a younger sibling burst into tears on hearing them spoken by a toy using mums voice.More troubling, when tested against voice-biometrics software like that used by many banks to block unauthorized a
41、ccess to accounts, more than 80% of the fake voices tricked the computer. Alan Black, one of Festvoxs developers, thinks systems that rely on voice-ID software are now “deeply, fundamentally insecure”.Dr. Saxena and his colleagues asked volunteers if a voice sample belonged to a person whose real sp
42、eech they had just listened to for about 90 seconds. The volunteers recognized cloned speech as such only half the time (ie, no better than chance). The outcome, according to George Papcun, an expert witness paid to detect fake recordings produced as evidence in court, is the appearance of a technol
43、ogy with “enormous potential value for disinformation”.As might be expected, countermeasures to recognize such deception（欺骗） are being developed. Nuance Communications, a maker of voice-activated software, is working on algorithms（算法） that detect tiny skips in frequency at the - 7 -points where slic
44、es of speech are stuck together. Adobe, best known as the marker of Photoshop, an image-editing software suite, says that it may add digital watermarks to speech synthesized by a voice-cloning software called VoCo it is developing. Such technology may help computers recognize suspicious speech. Even
45、 so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might be created in a world which makes it easy to put authentic-sounding words into the mouths of opponents be they colleagues or heads of state.61. Paragraphs 1 and 2 are mainly about _.A. significant elements influencing voice cloningB. possible applicati

Whats Hasbros attitude towards Vivo Tests new app?A. Optimistic. B. Conservative. C. Unconcerned. D. Subjective.63. The experiment carried out by Dr.
47、 Saxena and his colleagues shows that volunteers .A. identified cloned speech in about 45 secondsB. preferred a real speech to a voice sampleC. proved only a little harder to fool than softwareD. found it hard to use the software to record their voices64. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.
48、 Investments should be increased to advance voice cloning.B. Long-term measures should be taken to popularize the idea of voice cloning.C. Disagreements among firms about the way to treat voice cloning are getting serious.D. Problems of voice cloning are unavoidable despite the efforts that have bee
