欺诈

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

213515. （2022•长安区一中•高二上期中） The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know.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，it's too little，too late.By the time these "solutions"（解决方案） become widely available，scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.In the near future，it's 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 you're hearing is actually real.
    That's 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 year's 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 mother's name，and far more.Armed with this knowledge，they're 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 teller's，tricking you into "confirming" your address，mother's 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 is hard to earn but easy to lose，and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.

（1）How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls？
A．Panicked.
B．Confused.
C．Embarrassed.
D．Disappointed.
（2）Taking advantage of the new technologies，scammer can        .
A．aim at victims precisely
B．damage databases easily
C．start campaigns rapidly
D．spread information widely
（3）What does the passage imply？
A．Honesty is the best policy.
B．Technologies can be double-edged.
C．There are more solutions than problems.
D．Credibility holds the key to development.
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

[解析]

（1）D．情感态度题。根据第一段中的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，it's too little，too late.By the time these "solutions"（解决方案） become widely available，scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.可知，我们认识到了问题的严重性，支持和开发了旨在防止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法，。不幸的是，我们的努力太少了，也太晚了。在这些"解决方案"被广泛使用的时候，骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知，作者认为这些"解决办法"对于解决问题起不了什么作用，因此作者感到很"失望"。结合选项：A．Panicked.惊慌的；B．Confused.困惑的；C．Embarrassed.尴尬的；D．Disappointed.失望的。故选D。
（2）A．细节理解题。根据第三段中的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 mother's name，and far more.Armed with this knowledge，they're 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 teller's，tricking you into "confirming" your address，mother's name，and card number.可知，机器人通话之所以令人头痛，与其说与数量有关，不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况：骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字，甚至更多。有了这些知识，他们就能够开展有针对性的活动来欺骗人们。根据这些可知，利用这种新的技术，欺诈者们可以精确的确定他们行骗的目标。故选A。
（3）B．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句At this year's 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.可知，这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声音，它可以和接待员进行交谈，进行预订。由此可知，这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知，欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。由此推知，这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用，也可能为坏人所利用，产生不好的影响，因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故选B。
（4）C．标题判断题。文章在第一段提到了自助语音电话带给人们的危害，紧接下来的两段又进一步阐述这类电话带给人们危害的原因，并在倒数第二段阐述了减轻相关危害的方案，尾段最终提出信任度是很难获得又很容易失去的东西，并且，由此涉及的相关问题也会越来越难以解决。可知整篇文章都是在逐步阐述自助语音电话愈加危险的状况，所以C选项：为什么语音电话会变得更危险？最为题目最合适，故选C。

202264. （2022•西安三中•五模） Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fee debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles（雀斑）.Actually，there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
   In East Asia，freckles might be considered a "destructive weakness" for celebrities，especially actors or singers.Although normal people don't care that much，subconsciously they might prefer a "clean" face.Generally speaking，freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently，and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
   Having freckles，instead，is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world，and some call freckles "angel kisses".For most westerners，having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with；instead，it is something to be desired.After all，not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
   When it comes to eye shapes，it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don't see eye-to-eye.Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful.If their eyes have a double fold eyelid，that is considered perfect.However，most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted（斜的）and narrow eyes and eyebrows.Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country's most beautiful by foreigners，while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn't fit with traditional beauty standards.
   Young，girly feature or hot and mature feature？Zhao Liying from China，Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia，as they boast bright faces with warm smiles，which win them lots of male fans.The three young celebrities represent Asia's beauty standards：women with cute，girly features.Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly.Unlike Chinese girls，Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness.The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
   As ties continue to grow between China and the West，it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop.But one thing's for sure — no matter how you look，you are who you are，and that should be satisfaction enough.
（1）What do most western people think of having freckles？
A．It is something unbearable.
B．It is a destructive weakness.
C．It is something to wish for.
D．It is a symbol of traditional beauty.
（2）What do the underlined words "see eye-to-eye" mean in Paragraph 4？
A．Have the same opinion.
B．Recognize their strengths.
C．Misunderstand each other.
D．Argue against one another.
（3）Why do western girls prefer to appear mature？
A．They think this beauty standard is better.
B．They want to look independent and unique.
C．They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
D．They admire Wonder Woman very much.
（4）What does the text mainly talk about？
A．What Zara's beauty standard is.
B．Why Chinese people don't like freckles.
C．What causes the different beauty standards.
D．How easterners and westerners think of beauty.

213628. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期中） Laresce was born with a condition called hypermobility（运动过度） which meant her joints were "bent".The condition can cause severe joint pain and lead to dislocations（脱臼）.
But rather than feel sorry for herself，she used her misfortune to inspire herself to become Britain's strongest schoolgirl.
   Just two years ago，the condition left Laresce in so much pain that she couldn't even take part in sports.But now she has six British and World Champion powerlifting records.It's an amazing achievement.
   Laresce's trainer Tania George said her condition is the secret to her success. "She has more flexibility（灵活性） in her back than most people，which gives her the technique of bending her back strongly and safely.Most powerlifters would kill to try to bend their backs like Laresce.She has perfected the technique to lift heavy weights，" Tania said.
   "I used to suffer a lot of pain from my hypermobility.I remember coming home from school with pains in my knees，joints and hips.It would stop me doing normal things at school.The pain would be so much that some nights I couldn't sleep at all and I just couldn't face going to school like that.And after each dislocation，I had to have six months of treatment to recover，" said Laresce.
   However，since taking up the sport of powerlifting 18 months ago she is now effectively cured. "Really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me to do my very best，" she said.
   "I've made lots of friends.It's an incredible feeling when everyone's cheering me on.It's the support of other people that makes the difference to winning.Becoming a champion was a big surprise-I just started off for fun and wasn't expecting anything.So to win six titles over just a few months was amazing."

202331. （2022•交大附中•七模） In the near future，instead of going to your wardrobe （衣柜） to choose something to throw on for your next video call，you might turn to your virtual wardrobe to pick out a 3 D digital dress to wear.At least，that's what a number of people in the fashion and tech space are relying on as more businesses look to the promise of digital fashion.Moreover，those virtual clothes won't just be for your video calls，but could eventually be worn all over the virtual world，and eventually，perhaps，viewed on your body in the real world through the Augmented Reality （AR） glasses.
   "There are more and more second worlds' where you can express yourself.But there is probably an underestimation of the value being attached to individuals who want to express themselves in a virtual world with a virtual product，through a virtual image，"a marketing officer Robert said.As the field develops，there are two ways of using digital clothes-wearing them yourself through AR and providing digital clothes for your virtual body.
   But why should we replace our physical clothes？Supporters say there's unlimited creative expression through digital clothes，which now look increasingly more elegant thanks to developments in 3 D and AR technology. "Clothing represents an expression of a personality.It always exists in the physical world，and it will exist in the virtual world，" said Simon Whitehouse，a designer.
   He explained， "From the brand side，it's incredibly profitable to sell clothes without producing physical clothes.It's reinventing an entire supply chain.There's no water usage，there's very limited CO₂ emission.There are no samples being sent out or returned.There are no show rooms，and there's no physical prototype （实物模型）."

（1）What can you probably do in the near future according to paragraph 1？
A．Open a virtual fashion clothing store.
B．Design 3 D digital clothes for yourself.
C．Buy a bigger wardrobe for your bedroom.
D．Wear virtual clothes made by digital technology.
（2）What can we infer from Simon's words in paragraph 3？
A．AR technology will bring a challenge to people.
B．One's character will be seen in the virtual world.
C．Digital clothes will be more convenient for people.
D．One's expression only can be seen in the physical world.
（3）What is Simon's attitude to digital clothing？
A．Approving.
B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear.
D．Grateful.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The increase in AR glasses.
B．The digital fashion in the future.
C．The virtual body in digital clothes.
D．AR glasses made by new technology.

202329. （2022•交大附中•七模） We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parts less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play.However，what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen- any screen- and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens，split between watching television and using the Internet.
   In the past few years，an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children，then aged five and three，were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change，and，being a London media type，appointed himself "marketing director from Nature".He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing，a film which charts the birth of the World Network，a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
   "Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference，" David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven，then being outdoors will be on habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now： "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
   Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there，and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.

（1）What is the problem with the author's children？
A．They often annoy their neighbours.
B．They are tired of doing their homework.
C．They have no friends to play with
D．They stay in front of screens for too long.
（2）How did David Bond advocate his idea？
A．By making a documentary film.
B．By organizing outdoor activities.
C．By advertising in London media.
D．By creating a network of friends.
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2？
A．Records.
B．Predicts.
C．Delays.
D．Confirms.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Let Children Have Fun.
B．Young Children Need More Free Time.
C．Market Nature to Children.
D．David Bond：A Role Model for Children.

214156. （2022•关山中学•高一下期中） The pasty（馅饼）has been a recorded part of the British diet since the 13th century，at that time being enjoyed by the rich upper classes.The fillings were different and rich.It wasn't until the 17th and 18th centuries that the pasty was popular among miners and farm workers in Cornwall as a means for providing themselves with easy and tasty meals while they worked.And so the Cornish pasty was born.
   Traditionally，the pasty fillings are beef with potato，onion and swede!As meat was much more expensive in the 17th and 18th centuries，its presence was rare and so pasties traditionally included much more vegetables than today.The presence of carrot in a pasty，although common now，was the mark of a poor pasty at first.
   Filling ideas are endless however，and can be as different as your taste will take you.There is much discussion as to whether the ingredients（原料）should be mixed together first or lined up on the pastry in a special order.However，there is agreement that the meat should be cut into pieces，the vegetables sliced and none should be cooked before they are sealed （密封）within the pastry.It is this that makes the Cornish pasty different from other similar foods.
   It was such a commonly used method of eating amongst the miners that some mines had tools down the mineshafts （井筒）specifically to cook the pasties.If they were cooked in the mornings，the pastry could keep the fillings warm for 8-10 hours and，when held close to the body，keep the miners warm too.It was also common for the pasties to provide not only a main course lunch，but also a sweet or fruity dessert course.The salty filling would be cooked at one end of the pasty and the sweet course at the other end.Hopefully these ends would be marked on the outside too!

（1）What do we know about the pasty in the 13th century？
A．It was enjoyed in Cornwall only.
B．It was popular among miners and farm workers.
C．It was widely eaten by the rich upper classes.
D．It had few and simple fillings.
（2）If carrot was in a pasty in the 17th and 18th centuries，the pasty would        .
A．be more expensive
B．be sold out very soon
C．be made without other fillings
D．be seen as one of bad quality
（3）What is special about the Cornish pasty？
A．Its fillings can't be very different.
B．Its ingredientould be mixed.
C．Its ingredientould be put in the correct order.
D．Its fillingouldn't be cooked before they are sealed.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A．To show how to make pasties.
B．To introduce the basic information of pasties.
C．To compare different pasties.
D．To encourage people to taste pasties.

205136. （2022•鄠邑区•高一下期末） People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years.In fact，pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.
   In 1815，English troops were fighting Napoleon's forces in France，and the English were believed to be losing.A financial panic swept over London.Government bonds（债券）were offered at low prices.Few people noticed that Nathan Rothschild，an English banker，was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was trying to sell them.A few days later，London learned the truth：the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.The value of the bonds soared （暴涨），and Rothschild became wealthy…all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.
   Carrier pigeons were used by countries in both World War I and World War II.Not only were the birds often the fastest，most reliable way to send messages，they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines，where radios and field telephone lines were useless.Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships，every branch of the armed services used the birds.
   Carrying messages could be a dangerous job.Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals.The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami.Stationed in France during World War I，he carried twelve important messages for American forces.On his last mission，though wounded，he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers.For his amazing service，he was awarded the French "Croix de Guerre."
   Today，modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it.However，few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history.

（1）Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by        .
A．relying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeons
B．predicting successfully the result of the battle
C．his experience and a good knowledge of bonds
D．his ability to tell right from wrong
（2）What does "snapping up" mean in the second paragraph？
A．Giving away.
B．Destroying.
C．Throwing out.
D．Buying.
（3）The author provides dates and numbers throughout this text in order to        .
A．avoid mixing up the readers' minds when reading for information
B．prove that carrier pigeons are more important in modern times than in the past
C．show the influence of carrier pigeons at important points in history
D．explain the causes and effects of world events
（4）What is the author's attitude towards carrier pigeons？
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Positive.
D．Unconcerned.

205099. （2022•蓝田县•高二下期末） The lack of clues left behind by ancient Americans has made it difficult for researchers to determine precisely when humans first arrived on the continent.However，it has always been believed to be about 13，000 years ago.Now，evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas，Central Mexico，seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30，000 years ago.
   Dr.Ciprian Ardelean，of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas who led the groundbreaking re- search，first became aware of the cave in May 2010.Getting to the cave located 2，750 meters above sea level required a 45-minute truck ride to the base and an uphill climb over a rough terrain.However，Dr.Ardelean and his team found enough clues to make the difficult journey three additional times-in 2012，2016，and -2017.
   The archeologists' efforts revealed many artifacts including over 1，900 stone tools from multiple layers of the cave.The scientists found that most of the tools were between 16，000 and 13，000 years old.However，239 artifacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30，000 years!
   While the genetic material gained in the cave was only plant and animal DNA，the team did find evidence of sulfur，potassium and zinc elements that could indicate human activities such as killing animals.Dr.Ardelean says the absence of human DNA confirms that the early people visited the cave for short periods of time.
   The researchers are unsure of the ancient humans' origins or the path they took to get to America.They guess the groups were tribes （部落）who moved from place to place and went extinct at some point during their migrations.Dr.Ardelean says， "We don't know who they were，where they came from or where they went.They're a complete enigma.We falsely assume that the native populations in the Americas to- day are direct descendants from the earliest Americans，but now we don't think that is the case. " Archeologist Loren Davis，from Oregon State University，is unsure that the artifacts recovered are tools.The researcher says， "If it's true that people were in Zacatecas 32，000 years ago，that changes everything-it more than doubles the time people have been in the Americas.I'm not going to say it's impossible，but if all they found are broken rocks without any hard evidence，it's natural for people to challenge the conclusion. "

（1）What did Dr.Ciprian Ardelean do？
A．He sold hundreds of artifacts.
B．He explored the cave four times.
C．He made the cave world-known.
D．He collected artifacts from the cave.
（2）What shakes the traditional belief concerning North America？
A．Metal elements unearthed from the cave.
B．Plant and animal DNA discovered in the cave.
C．The stone tools from the cave's deepest layer.
D．The artifacts from the upper layers of the cave.

202245. （2022•临潼区•二模） Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else.His conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation，he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly，but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.
   The aim of conversation is not，for the most part，to communicate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are，it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.Most buzzing，fortunately，is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
   Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears，though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening，during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time，they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.

（1）According to the author，people make conversation to        .
A．overcome their fear of silence
B．prove their value
C．achieve success in life
D．exchange ideas
（2）According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighbors       .
A．about two or three plays they have seen
B．about whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new
D．in the hope of getting on well
（3）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B．To encourage people to join in conversations.
C．To persuade people to stop making noises.
D．To explain why people keep talking.

214441. （2019•西安中学•高一上期中） American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English．
   First of all，they sound very different．Often，Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know"．Or they may say "Whaddaya say？" instead of "What do you say？" However，the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．
   Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England． The same thing is true of some British words in America． For example，the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．Americans drive trucks，but in England people drive lorries．

   There're also some differences in grammar．For example，Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question．They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say "Have you a storybook？"
   All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English．But most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．It can also happen to other languages，such as French．Many people in Canada speak French，but their French is very different from the French of France．

202187. （2022•周至县•三模） The Chinese fashion icon，qipao，was born a century ago in Shanghai.However，the dress made its way through history from the hands of old craftsmen and is deep-rooted in Chinese culture.
   "Qipao used to be so popular，" Leung Long-kong，89，a well-known qipao craftsman，says，adding that the dress was an everyday outfit among women，from the less well-off to women at the highest levels of society. "Now，nobody is wearing them except on grand and happy occasions."
   To carry on the tradition，fashion designer Mary Yu，41，who has been attending classes teaching knot button-making techniques，is trying to renew the design of qipao by taking symbols from Chinese history and literature.
   "I feel I should look into Chinese culture and learn more about the past.People should have an in-depth understanding of their culture in order to move on，" Yu says. "Fashion design requires a profound knowledge of one's culture before visualizing it."

   Yu set up her own qipao brand in 2016.Most of the clothes were made by tailors based in Shenzhen and Hangzhou，for their lower cost and more traditional work.
