By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, its too little, too late. By the time these solutions become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, its not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice youre hearing is actually real.Thats because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this years I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mothers name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, theyre able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank tellers, tricking you into confirming your address, mothers name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.Credibility(可信度) is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.32. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A. Panicked. B. Disappointed. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused.33. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can _.A. spread information widely B. damage databases easilyC. start campaigns rapidly D. aim at victims precisely 34. What does the passage imply?A. Technologies can be double-edged.B. Honesty is the best policy.C. There are more solutions than problems.D. Credibility holds the key to development.35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. _36_In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on. It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar, says scientist Richard Johnson. _37_Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major culprit, says Johnson,_38_Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us. So what is the solution?_39_ The trouble is, in todays world, its extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. _40_A. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.B. So many people have a sweet tooth.C. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes.D. The battle has not yet been lost.E. But the temptation seems hard to resist.F. Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar.G. Its obvious that we need to eat less sugar.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分50分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） It happened to Susan Black in a cold winter.

Early on the morning, we set out for Baotou Reservoir in Xiamen. When we were arrived there, we began to work immediately. Firstly, we dug holes what were slightly larger than the root balls.
