Because of the stresses of high school, I felt depressed from time to time. What’s worse, I began to eat many junk foods. As a result, I had gained a lot of weight. My mom decided to take me to work out, and she cooked delicious but healthy snacks for me. However, I broke my word to my mom not to buy high calorie snacks. My mom found my snack wrappers in the garbage. She got really angry and told me something I will remember forever. She said, “ My dear, I can forget the fact that you cheated, but you shouldn’t. Remember it’s not all about losing weight but about your whole life. If you want to achieve something, take it seriously, and persist（坚持）no matter what happens.” Since then, we have been out running each morning, and we do some yoga in the evening. We sing and laugh while running along the empty roads. Day by day, I am feeling better. Exercise is helping to strengthen my body and refresh my spirits. At the same time, my mom and I cook different dishes together. Isn’t it amazing that I’m making such tasty-looking foods myself? Cooking brings great joy to me. These times with my mom have changed my whole attitude to life. I have started to learn the importance of sticking to goals and how to relax.

Cooking brings great joy to me….可知作者在这个夏天做的最有意义的事情是做美味食物和坚持跑步。故A项正确。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段妈妈对作者说的话If you want to achieve something, take it seriously, and persist（坚持）no matter what happens.可知作者的妈妈是一个坚定的人，故D项正确。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的I have started to learn the importance of sticking to goals and how to relax.及文章的主旨可知，划线句子（有了坚强的意志，双脚就等于一双翅膀）与A选项（有志者事竟成）的意思相近。故选择A选项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句These times with my mom have changed my whole attitude to life.可知作者的母亲改变了他在生活上的态度，故作者想要告诉我们的是“父母对孩子们有很大的影响”故C项正确。 C Facial recognition cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but everyone is wearing mask. What a hassle! Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask. Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. “As we get older,” he said, “our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same—even if we put on weight.” Another company has also been working on this kind of software. Tech5 has AI that measures the shape of your face. It also scans your iris (the colored part of your eyes). Tech5 hopes to ignore all of the face below the nose. Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the COVID-19. More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime (犯罪). “It can detect crime suspects,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s CEO. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports, Huang admits one big weakness of this new technology: It fails when people wear both masks and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost, but I believe we can overcome the weakness in the future,” said Huang. 8. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Rule. B. Habit. C. Mistake. D. Problem. 9. What makes the software recognize people wearing masks? A. The eye area. B. The shape of face. C. The color of the eyes. D. The facial expression. 10. What is Huang Lei’s attitude towards the software? A. Anxious. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 11. What can we know about the new technology from the last paragraph? A. It needs further improving. B. It will be less popular in the future. C. It won’t work if people wear glasses. D. It cannot store key facial information. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了面部识别技术的发展和潜在的问题。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but everyone is wearing mask.(许多人依靠这项技术来解锁手机、开门或快速支付，但每个人都戴着口罩)”可知由于现在人人都带着口罩，所以人脸识别相对来说很麻烦。由此猜测，hassle意为“问题，麻烦”，与problem同义。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.(据Engineering & Technology报道，总部位于北京的Hanwang科技公司发布了一款软件，可以正确识别95%的戴口罩的人。秘诀是什么? 这一切都和你的眼睛有关)”可知面部识别软件主要依靠眼睛区域来识别戴口罩的人。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It can detect crime suspects,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s CEO. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports, Huang admits one big weakness of this new technology: It fails when people wear both masks and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost, but I believe we can overcome the weakness in the future,”(“它可以探测到犯罪嫌疑人，”Hanwang首席执行官黄磊说。警方在高度安全的环境中使用Hanwang的技术。这意味着像政府大楼、地铁站和机场这样的地方，黄承认这种新技术的一个很大的弱点：当人们同时戴口罩和太阳镜时，它就会失效。“在这种情况下，所有关键的面部信息都会丢失，但我相信未来我们可以克服这一弱点。”)”推知，黄磊对于这项技术的态度是积极的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Huang admits one big weakness of this new technology: It fails when people wear both masks and sunglasses.(黄承认这项新技术有一个很大的弱点：当人们同时戴口罩和太阳镜时，它就会失效)”推知，这项新技术需要进一步的改进。故选A项。 二、完形填空（每个2分） I worked in a company which was very strict about taking on official employees (正式员工).

Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but everyone is wearing mask. What a hassle! Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask. Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. “As we get older,” he said, “our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same—even if we put on weight.” Another company has also been working on this kind of software. Tech5 has AI that measures the shape of your face. It also scans your iris (the colored part of your eyes). Tech5 hopes to ignore all of the face below the nose. Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the COVID-19. More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime (犯罪). “It can detect crime suspects,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s CEO. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports, Huang admits one big weakness of this new technology: It fails when people wear both masks and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost, but I believe we can overcome the weakness in the future,” said Huang. 8. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Rule. B. Habit. C. Mistake. D. Problem. 9. What makes the software recognize people wearing masks? A. The eye area. B. The shape of face. C. The color of the eyes. D. The facial expression. 10. What is Huang Lei’s attitude towards the software? A. Anxious. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 11. What can we know about the new technology from the last paragraph? A. It needs further improving. B. It will be less popular in the future. C. It won’t work if people wear glasses. D. It cannot store key facial information. 二、完形填空（每个2分） I worked in a company which was very strict about taking on official employees (正式员工). I worked very hard and did my ____12____ very well.
