12、游说)by house builders,” Ian explained. “At present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are sure will sell, keeping the UKs housing shortage so that the normal rules of supply and demand dont apply.

Hes a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking f
26、or a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, cle
27、arly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him- supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, Youve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can ju
28、st get out of here. You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine.

33、the thieves refused to return the bikesD（6分） News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the worlds first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession
34、.Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax and her reactions change as she continues reading. Thats why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?To fin
35、d the answer, we have to analyze the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices an
36、d movements are married in a way that when the AI news anchor reads, the micro- electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep learning technology to make a robot imitate a persons voice. The developer needs to collect tens of th
37、ousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text for the AI to learn and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyze the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data
38、for the AI news anchor to learn, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programsBoth the technologies used to make Xins performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xins expressions vary acc
39、ording to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions dont always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities.32What does the underlined word “reluctant” in the first paragraph mean?ADelighted
