24、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.

25、We often praise the world of science.

It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.

However, one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British physicist and author of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came after commenting（评论）the technology he uses to speak with. As Hawking has got a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films show big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited（限制） by slow biological evolution (进化), couldn’t compete,” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic (悲观的) about AI technology. “I believe we will be in control of the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, creator of Cleverbot in the UK, which is a software program that remembers past conversations. “The advantages of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI?

A. It makes our lives easier.

B. The technology is not very popular now.

C. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ______.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show AI has already become part of our life

C. suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans

【3】What does the underlined word “surpass” mean in the passage?

A. 象征   B.促进 C. 超越

【4】We can know from the last paragraph that _________.

A. Rollo agrees with Hawking

B. Rollo is a British creator

C. Rollo invented Cleverbot in the US

【5】Which of the following can be a suitable title for this article?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy

B. The future of human beings

C. The fight between humans and AI

26、   Do you know how to study better and make your study more effective (有效率的)? We all know that Chinese students usually study very hard for long hours. This is very good .But it doesn’t help a lot, because an efficient student must have enough sleep, enough food, enough rest and exercise. Every day you need to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some places. It’s good for your study.

When you return to your study, your mind will be refreshed and you’ll learn more and study better. Psychologists (心理学家) have found that learning takes place in this way. Here take English learning for example. First you make a lot of progress and you feel happy. Then your language study seem to stay the same, so you will think you’re learning nothing and you may give up. This can last days or even weeks.

You shouldn’t give up. At some points your language study will again take another big jump. You will see that you really have been learning all long. If you get enough sleep, food, rest and exercise, studying English can be very effective and interesting. Don’t give up along the way. Learn slowly and you’re sure to get a good result.

阅读短文，根据其内容判断正误，正确的选A，错误的选B。

【1】An efficient student must study very hard for long hours.

【2】It’s very important for students to have enough food, sleep, rest and exercise.

【3】Going out for a walk isn’t good for your study.

【4】When you return to your study after a good rest, you’ll learn more and study better.

【5】Although your English learning seems to stay the same, you shouldn’t give up.

27、   Since the beginning of 2020, COVID-19（新型冠状病毒）has spread across the world, just at the moment ,many people around the world are suffering from the horrible disease ,Up till now, April 2nd, 2020, over 852,000 people get infected(被感染）and almost 43,590 people lost their lives.

For this time, the coronavirus（冠状病毒) in animals may change suddenly, then it easily infected humans, It is reported that it has never been met before. We have no experience about this, so this makes it harder for doctors to diagnose (诊断) and cure, and at last, it lead to the terrible outbreaks.

The symptoms (症状）of COVID-19 are similar to those experienced when people suffer from flu. The main symptoms include fever, cough, tiredness, muscle pain and shortness of breath. Some sick people have also experienced bad headaches. So if you have such symptoms,you must pay more attention to yourself and see a doctor soon.

COVID-19 typically passes through droplets(飞沫). Therefore, scientists advice taking action like simple protections,such as wearing masks, washing hands with soup, avoiding touching eyes, nose, or mouth with one’s hands, and staying away from people showing flu-like symptoms. When coughing and sneezing ,we should over our nose and mouth with tissue, also, avoiding close contact (接触）with anyone with colds or flulike symptoms is the most important.Therefore,everyone, please stay away from any public area which might risk infecting you.
