27、ied 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 in use.Researchers in Britain and the Netherlands have made a breakthrough, developing a more reliab

28、le 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 signs of guilty feelings. There is a basic fact that liars tend to keep moving their hands and feet

29、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 measuring physiological stress caused by anxiety, you can only get a success rate of about 60%.”, said

30、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 do better. In one of their experiments, the team has already achieved more than 80%.The experiment

31、 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, involving two test.Some were interviewed about a computer game “Never End” that they played for seven

32、 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 others hid it and lied about it.“Overall, we correctly classified 82.2% of the interviewees as eit

The researchers used the all-body motion suit to _. A. discover peoples joint pro

34、blems B. record peoples changes in their health C. help find out interviewees mental activities D. prevent liars from moving their hands and feet59. What is the main disadvantage of the lie detector? A. It has a low success rate B. It is very uncomfortable C. It is too complex to use D. It costs a l

35、ot 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 industry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer or surgery. Synthesizing（

36、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 so forth), in order to cover all possible pronunciations. Not any more. Software exists that can st

37、ore 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 harmoniously into their new sonic homes. This is much cheaper than conventional voice banking, and permi

38、ts 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 produced. Mr. Silbert refers to the emotive quality of the human voice as “the ultimate instrument”. Yet

39、 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 safeguards a naughty child might, for example, type impolite words on his mothers smartphone in order to s

40、ee 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 access to accounts, more than 80% of the fake voices tricked the computer. Alan Black, one of Festvo

41、xs 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 speech they had just listened to for about 90 seconds. The volunteers recognized cloned speech as suc

42、h 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 technology with “enormous potential value for disinformation”.As might be expected, countermeasures to rec

43、ognize 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 points where slices of speech are stuck together. Adobe, best known as the marker of Photoshop, an image-editing software

44、 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 so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might be created in a world which makes it easy to put authent

49、ibrary, attempting to cram（死记硬背） the information necessary to get through finals. I am one of them a Cambridge finalist, attempting to deal with the Oxbridge stress in the only way I know: caffeine hits and reclusion（隐遁生活）. Whether you love or hate Oxbridge, the fact that these two universities prov

50、ide unique learning environments is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, students have access to some of the best education in the world; on the other hand, the pressure that comes with this can prove damaging to them and cant be swept under the carpet for they have to face it eventua

51、lly.Many Cambridge students find themselves trapped in a pressure of expectation, whether this comes from their supervisors or tutors, their director of studies or even from themselves. The drive towards achievement is either the key to success or to possible serious personal issues, as Mark Phippen

52、, head of the University of Cambridges Counseling Service said, “There are plenty of perfectionists in Cambridge, but it can work two ways: it can push them to accomplish and to achieve, or it can get out of hand, disabling them.”Many students say that they cant handle it any more while working in c

53、ertain libraries which are filled with other students hard at work. The competition and paranoia（多疑） are more common than what we realize or question: you can feel as if you are being judged for how much time you spend on Facebook or YouTube, or how little time you spend reading.Too many students fe

54、el almost frustrated by the pressure to achieve but feel unable to speak about it. As everyone seems to be coping, they must also pretend to cope too. The only thing students have: tutors and supervisors regularly encourage students to avoid extracurricular activities, urging them to focus on their

55、studies to such an extent that many find it hard to handle it. One current Cambridge tutor has been known for checking up on the activities of students involved in extracurricular theatre by searching for them on the website, which details who is involved in certain plays each term just in case it a

56、ffects the students work output.Problems arise when the pressure produces mental health issues. Problems have been brought to attention in articles primarily from Oxfords Cherwell and Cambridges The Tab. The attention has made the Cambridge University Student Union set up Students Deserve Better a c

57、ampaign to handle complaints about supervisors and tutors lacking the ability to provide proper spiritual support. “When I told my supervisor about my problems with anxiety and therefore about my worries surrounding the workload she was suggesting, she said that I would probably feel less anxious on

58、ce the work was done,” a finalist student called Jane said. “It shouldnt be an accepted response in one of the worlds best universities. Their responses only worsened any feelings I had concerning my final year.”Phippen said, “At this point the exams seem like the most important thing in the world.

59、However, two years down the line youll realize that the exams you did at university arent very important at all, as what then becomes more important is what you have done within those two years afterwards. Finalist exams can become depressing for students studying at any university. All you must rem

60、ember is that you are not alone and you are good enough, and that a few years down the line, your ability to recount the plots of Euripides nineteen plays will no longer matter.So why worry?”65.
