(B) Facial recognition(人脸识别)is used everywhere. Many people use it to unlock(解锁) their phones, open doors or pay quickly. Now, people can even make this happen with masks(口罩)on their faces. For example, Engineering & Technology(E&T) magazine said that Hanwang, a company(公司)in Beijing, has made a system(系统). For people wearing masks, it can tell who they are 95 percent(百分之)of the time. How? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, our faces change shape(形状), he explained. But the part around our eyes doesn't. It stays the same--even if we become fatter. As long as there are enough data (教据)from the parts around our eyes, the cameras can know us. Tech5 is another facial recognition company. The Swiss company's product(产品)studies the shape of your face. It also studies your iris (虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes.Tech5 hopes to leave out all of the face below the nose. This kind of tool(工具) has more uses than just unlocking your phone. Huang Lei from Hanwang thinks that it can help find bad people even when they wear masks. Chinese police use it in places like subway stations and airports (机场). Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force. Huang pointed out one big problem: it doesn't work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost," Huang said to E&T. 阅读文章，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。 36. What latest problem did scientists solve according to Paragraph 1? A.

B The area around the eyes stays the same shape as time goes by. C. Getting fatter may change the shape of our eyes. D. Facial recognition technology works better on young people. 38. What does Tech5 use for facial recognition in their technology? A. Mouth B. Face color. C. Iris. D. Nose. 39.What can we learn from Paragraph 6? A. Ways for terrorists to hide. B. The weakness of the new technology. C. More uses of Hanwang's technology. D. The way China and the US are working together. 40. In which part of a magazine could you read the text? A.
