44、ened to for about 90 seconds. The volunteers recognized cloned speech as such 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 pote

We study our his

51、tory, our psychology, our philosophy. Much of our knowledge revolves (使旋转)around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe.But in the course of the centuries we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas weve had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, wa

52、ves of space, and of the extraordinary molecular structures in every cell of our bodies.The more we discover, the more we understand that what we dont yet know is greater than what we know.

They think that this is reality. One of t

54、hem frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed, stuns and confuses him.

56、 images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its capacity to demolish (推翻)old ideas, to reveal new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change.Th

57、e incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深渊) of what we dont know, does not make life meaningless: it makes it interesting and precious.1、What does the author want to tell us in the first three paragraphs?AThe new discoveries of the universe prove to be wrong.BMan

58、has created splendid cultures in the course of centuries.COur knowledge of the universe is incomplete and uncertain.DThe existing technologies are enough for further exploration.2、The story told by Plato is meant to .Amake us aware of the cruelty of realityBencourage us to explore the unknown worldC
