12、ourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travelexperiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual wor

13、lds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about e

14、ither the past or the future. This is known as mind wandering”. During these events we re not paying attention to the cun-ent world around us. Instead, we* re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using

15、the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several w

16、ays VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodias Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places

17、are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer fro

18、m stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but its already happening. As virtual

To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.Text 2Until recently, voice cloning - or voice banking, as it was then known was a customized industry which served those at risk

23、 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 the history of the KidPass blog emotional emphase （s 重音）and in different contexts （statement, question, command and

24、 so forth）, in order to the tips on writing good articles online 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 adj

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 whic

Vivo Text licenses its software to Hasbro, an American toymaker keen to sell increasingly interactive playthings. Hasbro is aware,

27、Mr. Silbert notes, that without safeguards 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 use

28、d by many banks to block unauthorized access to accounts, more than 80% of the fake voices tricked the computer. Alan Black, one of Festvox developers, thinks systems that rely on voice-ID software are now “deeply, fundamentally insecure”.Dr. Saxena and his colleagues asked volunteers if a voice sam

The outcome, according to George Papcun, an expert witness paid to detect fake recordings produced as evidence in

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 VbCo it is developing. Such technology may help computers re

36、fforts that have been made.Text 3Researchers say they have developed technology that could predict heart attacks years before they happen. They report using mathematical systems to examine CT images of a patients heart. A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed pictures of bones, organs

37、and other tissue inside the body.The new method was developed by researchers at the University of Oxford in England. A report on their study was published in the medical journal The Lancet. Also taking part in the study were teams from Germany and the US.Most heart attacks result from a build-up of

38、fatty tissue inside arteries （动月永）that carry blood from the heart to other areas of the body, thus blocking this flow of blood and causing a heart attack.Currently, doctors use CT scans to learn when a sticky substance called plaque has already built up inside an artery. The new technology is design

39、ed to predict which arteries are at risk for future buildup.The researchers reported using computers to examine CT scans to measure how much fat is present around heart arteries. That fat changes when an artery becomes affected, serving as an early warning system for heart attacks.Charalambos, a pro

40、fessor at Oxford University, said he believes the research shows this method could be very effective in getting patients to take early steps to prevent future problems, adding that researchers had yet to estimate exactly how many heart attacks could be prevented. But he said he believes the techniqu

41、e could help identify between 20 to 30 percent of people at risk of having one.He added that the new technology will make such predictions easier because it works together with existing CT technology. The research was based on two large, independent studies of 4,000 patients in Germany, and the US.

42、A company with ties to Oxford University is developing a service to examine CT scans of patients around the world, Reuters reported.1 Whats the aim of the new technology?A. To predict ways to block fatty issues in heart arteries.B , To provide detailed pictures of how arteries work.C To build comput

43、er models of the image of a heart.D. To decide which arteries are likely to have fat built up.2、When does a heart attack generally happen according to the text?A. When the CT scan affects the flow of blood in the heart.B. When fat around heart arteries blocks the flow of blood.C. When a sticky mater

44、ial flows into an artery near the heart.D. When bones and organs of the body begin to be weak.3、What is an early warning for heart attacks?A. A change of fat happening around heart arteries.B. The finding of a sticky material in the blood.C. The presence of fat around the bones and organs.D. The agi

45、ng and failure of arteries near the heart.4、What9s the main idea of the text?A. The harm of fat build-up to heart arteries.B The use of CT scans to prevent of heart attacks.C. Research into the early warning of heart attacks.D. The warning the body gives about heart attacks.Text 4The Coca-Cola Compa

46、ny announced it had added a new alcoholic beverage to its portfolio only in the Japanese market. The low- alcohol drink, or Chu- Hi, is a watereddown mixture of the Shouchu spirit plus flavoring. This isnt the first time Coca-Cola has experienced with flavors and tastes.Not all flavors are successfu
