16、sical Story Time.B. Dinoman Visits Today and Book Discussion.C. Book Discussion and Summer Study Programme.D. Summer Study Programme and Musical Story Time.BAlthough toys packaging says its educational, it doesnt make it so. Thats the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys
17、being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning.Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear itlots of it. And its never too early for parents and to caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talki
18、ng electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language.Professor Anna Sosa, of Northern Arizona University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds of toys to play with: books, traditional toys like humble blocks and a shape sorter, and electronic toys. Sosa says she picked
19、 those toys because they are advertised in their packaging as language promoters for babies between the ages of 10 and 16 months.“We had a talking on farmanimal names and things，” Sosa says of the electronic toys. “We had a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start p
20、ushing buttons, and it tells you things. The parentchild couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over the course of three days.”“When theres something else thats doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for
21、them，” Sosa says. “Thats bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parent and child. Theres simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a toy. It isnt responsive enough. It isnt social.”As for the othe
22、r toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the electronic toys, and books outscored them all. But dont underestimate the humble block. While traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity, Sosa notes, they kept pace in terms of quality.()24. What is the fi
23、nding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa?A. Toy industry is facing new challenge in marketing.B. Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible.C. People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers.D. Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids.()25.
24、 According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular?A. Because they represent the latest creations.B. Because they arouse the interest in learning.C. Because they are used as an educational tool.D. Because they are easy for the kids to control.()26. We can infer from the passage th
25、at it is necessary for the parents _A. to share their experiences of reading with their kidsB. to spare more time to stay with their kids at homeC. to encourage their kids to attend social activitiesD. to get involved in the conversations with their kids()27. What is the authors attitude to electron
26、ic toys as language promoters?A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Objective.COne day in 1995, a large, heavy middleaged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didnt wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arre
27、sted a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief.“But I wore the juice，” he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible
28、ink so, as long as he didnt come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds f
29、avourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “DunningKruger effect”， and describes the cognitive bias to inflate selfassessment.
30、To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings c
31、ompared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they didby a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than twothirds of the other students!Sure, its typical for people to overes
32、timate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realise their mistakes. In a semesterlong study of college students, good students could better predict their per
33、formance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their way
34、s are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man (1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately selfassess their abilities. As much as D and Fgrade students overestimate their abilities, Agrade students
35、 underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their selfassessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.()28. What can we know about the DunningKruger effect?A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.B. It suggests that most peopl
36、e lack cognitive abilities.C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.()29. What do the college students behaviours mentioned in the experiments prove?A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating ones ability.B. Incompe
37、tent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.D. People cant rely on their previous behaviour to make adjustments.()30. What does the underlined word “begets” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Gives rise to. B. Takes advantage of.C. Mak
38、es up for. D. Breaks away from.()31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of ones ignorance.B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of peoples failure.D. Those with great abilities often have
39、a low opinion of themselves.DUntil recently, voice cloningor voice banking, as it was then knownwas a customised industry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer or surgery. Synthesising(合成) a voice was a long and expensive process. It meant recording many phrases, each sp
40、oken many times, with different emotional emphases(重音) and in different contexts (statement, question, command and 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
41、a precise pitch(音高). These can be put together to make new words, and adjusted individually so that they fit harmoniously 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 use
42、rs select the emphasis, speed and level of happiness or sadness with which individual words and phrases are produced. 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 toy
43、maker keen to sell increasingly interactive playthings. Hasbro is aware, 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.Mor
44、e troubling, when tested against voicebiometrics software like that used by many banks to block unauthorised access to accounts, more than 80% of the fake voices tricked the computer. Alan Black, one of Festvoxs developers, thinks systems that rely on voiceID software are now “deeply, fundamentally
45、insecure”Dr Saxena and his colleagues asked volunteers if a voice sample belonged to a person whose real speech they had just listened to for about 90 seconds. The volunteers recognised cloned speech as such only half the time(ie, no better than chance). The outcome, according to George Papcun, an e
46、xpert witness paid to detect fake recordings produced as evidence in court, is the appearance of a technology with “enormous potential value for disinformation”As might be expected, countermeasures to recognise such deception(欺骗) are being developed.Nuance Communications, a maker of voiceactivated s
47、oftware, is working on algorithms(算法) that detect tiny skips in frequency at the points where slices of speech are stuck together. Adobe, best known as the marker of Photoshop, an imageediting software suite, says that it may add digital watermarks to speech synthesised by a voicecloning software ca

Even so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might be created in a world which makes it easy to put authenticsounding words into the mouths of opponentsbe they colleagues or heads of state.()32.
