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. The news readers-created by machine learning technology, are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present(播出) newscasts in English, the other, in Chinese.

In Xinhua's report, it said machine learning was used to examine video looks and sounds of the two newsmen. The system then created the AI robotic presenters, which look and sound like real people. The AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they "can work 24 hours a day tirelessly" on its website and on social media. And they were able to read the news "as naturally as" a human presenter.

On social media, many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real. People criticized them for not being more lifelike. On China's Twitter-like service micro-blog, several users wrote that the news readers have "no soul(灵魂)." One user joked, "What if we had an AI leader(of China)?"

Some wondered if AI robots might take the workers' place. "It all depends on production costs, which will determine if we lose jobs?" one micro-blog user wrote. Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be replaced by AI robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.

Recently Britain's BBC used machine learning to make an AI presenter. It looked like one of its news readers who were speaking different languages. Also, developers working on Amazon's Alexa(a smart speaker system) have worked to create a special news reader voice for the electronic assistant(助理). Such a system could be further developed to provide other kinds of speaking voices for different situations in the near future.

11．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us ______ has greatly changed our way of getting news.

A．newspapers B．technology C．television D．radio

12．The following EXCEPT ______ are the AI presenters' advantage.

A．To examine the looks and sound. B．To read news as naturally as human.

C．To work 24 hours a day tirelessly. D．To be like real people's look and sound.

13．What does the underlined word "criticized" most probably mean in Chinese?

A．支持B．赞扬C．指责D．驳回

14．According to the passage, which is NOT true about the AI presenters?

A．The AI presenters have no soul and lifelikeness. B．Micro-blog users all praised the AI presenters.

C．The AI presenters can speak different languages. D．The AI presenters are based on real-life news readers.

15．The passage most probably taken from ________.

A．a news report B．a news poster C．a history book D．a music magazine
