I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all.

It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
8. What did the new research find?
A. Running fast benefits all of us.
B. Running is the best exercise.
C. A short time run can be beneficial.
D. A healthy mind encourages us to run.
9. How did the researchers get the result?
A. By using different drugs on participants.
B. By interviewing some sportsmen.
C. By collecting information on the Internet.
D. By doing experiments and comparisons.
10. Which is related to our happiness?
A. Cycling. B. Medicine. C. Blood flow. D. Colors.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. We should go for a run in winter.
B. Running really benefits us mentally.
C. We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D. Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
D
Facial recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks. 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 Hanvon has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology 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, “the shape of our faces changes, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same — even if we put on weight.” Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. Another Japan-based NEC claims an amazing 99.9 percent accuracy rate when identifying people with masks.
“Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to present an ID card that can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus aren’t spread by touching things,” said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the coronavirus,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can detect crime suspects or terrorists,” said Huang Lei, Hanvon’s vice president. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to Engineering & Technology.
12. What does the underlined word “hassle” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Habit. B. Mistake. C. Rule. D. Trouble.
13. What does the facial recognition software mainly depend on to identify people with masks?
A. The forehead. B. The shape of the face. C. The eye region. D. The facial expression.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The new technology cannot keep key facial information.
B. It is necessary to make improvement in the new technology.
C. Huang has a negative attitude toward the new technology.
D. The new technology doesn’t work when people wear sunglasses.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Different types of facial recognition software.
B. The advantages of the facial recognition software.
C. The problem of the present facial recognition technology.
D. The new advance of the facial recognition technology and its weakness.

As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all.

It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
8. What did the new research find?
A. Running fast benefits all of us.
B. Running is the best exercise.
C. A short time run can be beneficial.
D. A healthy mind encourages us to run.
9. How did the researchers get the result?
A. By using different drugs on participants.
B. By interviewing some sportsmen.
C. By collecting information on the Internet.
D. By doing experiments and comparisons.
10. Which is related to our happiness?
A. Cycling. B. Medicine. C. Blood flow. D. Colors.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. We should go for a run in winter.
B. Running really benefits us mentally.
C. We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D. Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.

Facial recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks. 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 Hanvon has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology 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, “the shape of our faces changes, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same — even if we put on weight.” Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. Another Japan-based NEC claims an amazing 99.9 percent accuracy rate when identifying people with masks.
“Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to present an ID card that can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus aren’t spread by touching things,” said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the coronavirus,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can detect crime suspects or terrorists,” said Huang Lei, Hanvon’s vice president. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to Engineering & Technology.
12. What does the underlined word “hassle” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Habit. B. Mistake. C. Rule. D. Trouble.
13. What does the facial recognition software mainly depend on to identify people with masks?
A. The forehead. B. The shape of the face. C. The eye region. D. The facial expression.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The new technology cannot keep key facial information.
B. It is necessary to make improvement in the new technology.
C. Huang has a negative attitude toward the new technology.
D. The new technology doesn’t work when people wear sunglasses.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Different types of facial recognition software.
B. The advantages of the facial recognition software.
C. The problem of the present facial recognition technology.
D. The new advance of the facial recognition technology and its weakness.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【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现存的问题。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks. What a hassle! (许多人依靠这项技术解锁手机、开门或快速支付,但有一个问题:每个人都戴着口罩。真是一个hassle!)”可知,每个人都戴着口罩,而戴口罩对使用面部识别技术造成了困难,由此推测hassle是“麻烦”的意思,与Trouble意思相近。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. (秘诀是什么?关键在于你的眼睛)”以及““As we get older,” he said, “the shape of our faces changes, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same — even if we put on weight.”(他说:“随着年龄的增长,我们的脸型会发生变化,但眼睛周围的区域不会。即使我们体重增加,它也会保持不变。”)”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C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to Engineering & Technology.(黄承认这项技术的一大弱点:当人们同时戴口罩和太阳镜时,它就失败了。“在这种情况下,所有关键的面部信息都丢失了,”黄对《工程与技术》说)”可知,这项新技术存在弱点,在人们同时戴口罩和太阳镜时会失效,所以有必要对这项新技术进行改进。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段主要说的是面部识别技术的用处很多,但现在人们都戴口罩对其使用带来了困难;第二段总述一些科技公司对其面部识别技术做出了改进;第三段对这些公司的改进做了具体介绍;第四段阐述面部识别软件的好处;第五段是当前技术仍存在弱点。所以,本文主要介绍的是面部识别技术的新进展和面部识别软件当前的弱点。故选D项。
