Some Internet Buzzwords of 2022
The chosen laborers
Derived from the Chinese term da gong ren which means “laborers” or “working people”,“the chosen laborers” refer to those who stay healthy during the pandemic,allowing them to go to work every day.
Begone
In a viral video,a woman in a parking argument was caught on camera,stomping (跺) her feet,waving her arms and repeatedly telling the other person to “begone”.The odd repetition of the Chinese term tui reminded many people of a traditional ceremony to ward off evil spirits,and the woman’s words quickly became an incantation (咒语) to protect users from bad luck or misfortune.
I have nothing to say
Literally meaning “thank you so much”,the term is now ironically used by Chinese social media users to express “being speechless”.They originally created “栓Q” to joke about the English accent of Liu Tao,a farmer who claims to be a self-taught English enthusiast.Liu has accumulated over 2.6 million followers by sharing videos about his hometown in Guilin,in Chinese and English.
Online mouth double
Many netizens find it hard to express themselves clearly.So when they find someone who has spoken out on an issue they care about in a more persuasive way online—such as on a talk show,in a media interview,or in an online comment—they call them their hu lian wang zui ti,or “online mouth double”,as a way to express agreement and appreciation.
Cyber pickle
Just like Zha cai,or pickled vegetables,a side dish on Chinese dinner tables,cyber pickle is the perfect televised comfort food to accompany any meal.Ranging from scene plays like Friends to various short videos,cyber pickle is the embodiment (体现,化身) of empty calories.
1.What can the Chinese term tui make people think of
A.An old ceremony to prevent evil spirits.
B.A way to escape from severe epidemic.
C.A condition to keep healthy during the pandemic.
D.A religious ceremony that can prevent people from bad luck.
2.Nowadays,the term “I have nothing to say” is designed to 　　　.
A.express thanks
B.embody empty calories
C.convey “being speechless”
D.joke about the English accent of Liu Tao
3.Which of the following can best describe that the views on ChatGPT posted on the Internet by Smith are well received

In 1916,two girls of wealthy families,best friends from Auburn,N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse.The girls had gone to Smith College.They wore expensive clothes.So for them to move to Elkhead,Colo.to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise.Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted:The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden,who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.
Why did they go then Well,they wanted to do something useful.Soon,however,they realized what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family,the Harrisons,and,like them,had little privacy,rare baths,and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.Some mornings,Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold.In spring,the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden’s book,she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism,which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead.A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads,which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies,often in blinding snowstorms.The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller.The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing.Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff,on her horse,looking down from a hill top:“When the sun slipped behind the mountains,it shed a rosy glow all around them.Then a full moon rose.The snow was marked only by small animals:foxes,coyotes,mice,and varying hares,which turned white in the winter.”
4.Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains
A.To teach in a school.
B.To study American history.
C.To write a book.
D.To do sightseeing.
5.What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3
A.They enjoyed much respect.
B.They had a room with a bathtub.
C.They lived with the local kids.
D.They suffered severe hardships.
6.Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hair-raising
A.The extreme climate of Auburn.
B.The living conditions in Elkhead.
C.The railroad building in the Rockies.
D.The natural beauty of the West.
7.What is the text
A.A news report.
B.A book review.
C.A children’s story.
D.A diary entry.

“Hey Alexa,play ‘You Raise Me Up’,”Kate Compton said from her home in Evanston,Illnois,where she teaches computer science at Northwestern University.A nearby smart speaker launched into an explanation:The song was not available,but it could be if Compton paid for a subscription.Alexa continued to walk us through the pricing pton tried again:“Hey Alexa,play classical music.” “Here’s a station you might like,” Alexa said.
From 2019 to 2021,the use of voice assistants among online adults in the United States rose to 30 percent from 21 percent.While use is on the rise,social media jokes paint voice assistants as automated family members who can’t get much right.As Brian Glick,founder of Philadelphia-based software company Chain.io,puts it,“I am not apt (倾向于) to use voice assistants for things that can have bad results.”
Take voice shopping,a feature would help busy families save time.Glick gave it a try and he’s haunted (烦扰) by the memory.Each time he asked Alexa to add a product—like toilet paper—it would read back a long product description:“Based on your order history,I found Charmin Ultra Soft Toilet Paper Family Mega Roll,18 Count.” In the time he spent waiting for her to stop talking,he could have finished his shopping,Glick said.“I’m getting upset just thinking about it,” he added.
A spokeswoman said Alexa’s understanding has improved significantly,despite increasingly complex requests from users.For its part,it’s investing in the assistant’s language understanding and speech technology to help it better deal with nuance (细微差别) and respond in a natural way.
But there’s a deeper emotional problem at play,says Compton.In developing voice assistants,she says,companies ignored the often unspoken rules of human small talk.We use small talk to show other people that we’re on the same wavelength—it’s a quick way to signal,“I see you,and I’m safe,” Compton said.
8.How did Alexa bother Compton
A.It often tried to fool her.
B.It went too far sometimes.
C.It responded to her slowly.
D.It failed to understand her.
9.Why did Glick complain about Alexa’s voice shopping function
A.It was unhelpful.
B.It was inaccurate.
C.It made him overspend.
D.It destroyed his privacy.
10.In which aspect should voice assistants be improved according to Compton
A.They should work more and talk less.
B.They should speak in a cautious way.
C.They should become effective chatters.
D.They should willingly interact with their owners.
11.What would be the best title for the text
A.Hey,Alexa
B.Ready for Alexa
C.Voice Assistants Pose a Threat to Us
D.Voice Assistants Wear on Our Nerves

Dogs feel their way through the world with their noses.Researchers have started imitating this super skill with an artificial-intelligence-based detective tool.In a study published in February in PLOS ONE,a multinational team reported an AI-powered system that is as accurate as trained dogs in correctly identifying cases of prostate (前列腺) cancer from urine(尿) samples.Andreas Mershin,a research scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology,wants to eventually integrate the technology into smartphones:There would be a tiny sensor in the phone with AI software running in the cloud.
Prostate cancer,the second most deadly cancer in men worldwide,is difficult to detect.The most widely used test can miss 15 percent of cancers.Trained dogs,on the other hand,were able to identify patients with prostate cancer from urine samples more than 96 percent of the time.Yet dogs can get bored and tired,so researchers want to develop an AI system that works more consistently.
Living cells produce chemicals that come out from the skin,blood,urine and breath.Artificial noses,including the “Nano Nose” that Mershin and one of his colleagues developed,can already detect those chemicals at the same parts-per-billion concentration as dogs.The team added the chemical sensing to an artificial neural (神经的) network—a type of AI algorithm that can learn from looking at examples how to identify faces,for instance.
As the 2015 Journal of Urology study showed,dogs can be trained to reach more than 96 percent accuracy,and the AI can be trained to reach that same rate.Mershin plans to train the AI algorithm using data from the “Nano Nose”,which is currently one third the size of a smartphone and could be further shrunk to be integrated into smartphones.
12.What is the “Nano Nose”
A.A device.　　　　
B.A method.
C.A database.
D.A research team.
13.What is the advantage of the AI system over trained dogs in detecting prostate cancer
A.It has the ability to sense chemicals.
B.It can collect samples in the cloud.
C.It has the minimum error.
D.It can ensure consistency.
14.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “shrunk” in paragraph 4
A.Made smaller. B.Cut shorter.
C.Expanded. D.Upgraded.
15.What is the ultimate goal of the research
A.To train dogs to detect diseases.
B.To identify artificial faces.
C.To produce AI noses to detect diseases.
D.To add an AI sensor to the smartphone.
