Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wo

26、rd or phrase that best fits the context. Ask Siri if shes a woman. Go ahead; try it. Shell tell you shes _41_. “Like cacti. And certain species of fish,” she might say. So is Amazons Alexa, Microsofts Cortana, Samsungs S Voice, and Google Now. But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women. _42_, we

27、think of them as ladies too.

28、eas of daily life, why does our tech sound so_43_? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation rests in social science. “Research indicates theres likely to be greater acceptance of female_44_,” says Karl MacDorman, an associate professor at Indiana University who specializes in human-computer

29、interaction. MacDorman and his team played clips of male and female voices to people of both genders, then asked them to identify which they _45_. The researchers also measured the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper, they reported that both women and men said female voices cam

31、male voices as helping them solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems. We want _48_ to help us, but we also want to be the boss of it, so we are more likely to opt for a female interface.This tendency suggests tha

32、t companies will make a better impression on a _49_ group of customers with a womans voice. But not just any voice. It has to _50_ a brands personality. For help with that, companies often turn to Greg Pal, vice president of marketing, strategy, and business development at Nuance Communications, whi

33、ch licenses its _51_ of more than 100 voices. Pal insists that some brands choose male speakers. He turned on his iPhone and pulled up the Dominos Pizza app, which has an assistant, Dom. He sounded like my high school English teachereducated and helpful but not_52_. Thats about right for a brand att

34、empting to _53_ guys ordering pies before the big game.As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices already let you _54_ a voice interface.
