1.文本内容与结构解读
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Technology is forever changing the way we get our news.?Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information.
Now, there is?a new technology?that could greatly change the way we get the news: computer-created news readers. Recently, China launched what it called?the world’s first artificial intelligence, or Al news presenters.
The news readers, supported by machine learning technology, are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen.?One is able to present newscasts?in English; the other, in Mandarin?Chinese. Report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as “deepfake videos”. A deep fake is a video that looks real, but was electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they never said.
It’s said that the Al presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day” on its website and on social media. One of the presenters even promised to “work tirelessly” to keep people informed. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China's latest progress in voice recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis.
Others wondered about?the effects robots might have on employment and workers.?Some people argued?that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots.?Others praised?the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.?Some businesses?have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations.
Britain’s BBC?recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages. The London-based company that developed the system says its goal is to “remove the language barrier” for many different kinds of video across the Internet. Also,?Amazon’s working on Alexa smart speaker system to create a special news reader voice. Amazon is reportedly preparing to launch Alexa’s news reader voice in the near future.

然后,我们可以将这些要点串起来,连成一篇涵盖所有要点的概要写作:
Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media. The news readers, supported by machine learning technology, are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day”. Others wondered about?the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some businesses?have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations.
评点:该概要尽管覆盖了文章的全部要点,对文本的要点也作了一些整合,但存在以下问题:字数超过80字;有多处表达抄袭原文;要点的整合不够到位,导致表达过于冗长;没有组织好要点之间的逻辑关系,导致文章缺乏连贯性。这些与概要写作的评分标准要求相差甚远。

As China’s AI news presenters appear, the new technology will greatly change the way we obtain information. That’s because machine learning technology has been applied to broadcast news programmes without a break and make “deepfake videos”, which displays China’s latest advance in AI. Some worry that it may cause unemployment while others hold positive attitudes. Lately, Britain's BBC, along with America’s Amazon, also develops similar products by using machine learning. (70w)
