25、Yuan Longping, a great scientist, is the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice(杂交水稻) which helps fight hunger in China.

Millions of people died because they had no food. As an agronomy(农学) teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought.

At that time, other scientists didn’t think hybrid rice was worth studying. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds. At last, in 1973, they grew a new kind of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can also fight disease. Its output was much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new kind, about 70, 000, 000 people could have food every year!

27、You and I can tell one face from another, but can computers do the same with few mistakes? At an earlier time, many people thought it was impossible, but now, the development of technology has made it come true.

New technology like facial recognition (脸部识别) technology helps to make our lives better and more convenient in many ways. People can easily come into their office buildings and check e-mails by using it. It can also help the police to find missing kids and bad people by sending the pictures taken from video cameras on the streets to the facial recognition system. More and more shoppers use their e-wallets with the new technology to pay for things they buy in the shopping malls and many kinds of stores.

In the fall of 2017, Apple even used this technology to open the smart-phone in no more than one second. However, what is facial recognition technology and how does the system make it?

First, facial recognition technology checks the space between eyes, the eye color, the ear size and the lip thickness. Then the system makes a record of your face and saves it in the database (数据库). That is to say, if you want to get the right to go into some places or to do something, you just look at the camera and let your picture run through the database.

Once the system checks your face and finds that it is correct, you can then get the right to go into the places or to do something.

However, is there any way to fool the facial recognition system? The answer is yes. Although it is an amazing technology, it sometimes doesn’t work. The following are some examples.

【1】What can we know about facial recognition technology from Paragraph 2?

A．It helps us a lot in our lives.

B．It helps us go anywhere fast.

C．It lets stores make more money.

D．It is the most useful technology worldwide.

【2】What did Apple use to open the smartphone immediately in 2017?

A．A special key.

B．A set of numbers.

C．Special patterns.

D．Facial recognition technology.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The camera.

B．The information of the face.

C．The smartphone.

D．The right place.

【4】What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4?

A．How the system works.

B．How much the system costs.

C．Why the system is so popular.

D．How many faces the system checks.

【5】Which of the following may the writer talk about in the following paragraph?

A．Why the technology is convenient.

B．When and where the technology can’t work.

C．How the technology becomes more popular.

D．Who can make the most use of the technology.
