2．Humans have little difficulty recognizing one another.And we know that no two faces are exactly alike.Even identical twins have slightly different faces.Each human face is truly unique，and now we've invented machines that are able to recognize faces for numerous purposes.
Governments，employers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technology.This allows them to quickly confirm an individual's identity.Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a crowd of thousands of people.All that's required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd.Ordinary people，too，are using facial recognition to unlock their phones，their computers and other devices.
Personal facial recognition protection has several benefjye.ais.It is instantaneous，and it relieves us of the need to memorize passwords.However，a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn't，for whatever reason，recognize the user's face.
There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition.Primarily，the concern is that it threatens privacy.The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life.This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go.Cameras may make public spaces safer，but keeping law-abiding（守法的） citizens under constant watch is disturbing to many.
In the age of the coronavirus and the widespread wearing of masks，facial recognition systems are having some difficulty.A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person's identity.In response，facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data.That could affect how dependable it is as a method of identity detection.
（1）What's the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 2？
A．To further explain the importance of facial recognition.
B．To describe the powerful functions of facial recognition.
C．To list in detail various advantages of facial recognition.
D．To state the unique advanced features of facial recognition.
（2）Why are some people worried about the cameras？
A．The cameras may be occasionally out of order.
B．Too many cameras disturb people's daily life.
C．People's personal life might be exposed to others.
D．The cameras make law-abiding citizens feel stressful.
（3）In what aspect will facial recognition systems be improved？
A．Getting more accurate with less information.
B．Becoming faster with more facial data.
C．Protecting personal information if necessary.
D．Responding more quickly to unexpected events.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The wide popularity of facial recognition.
B．The rapid development of facial recognition.
C．The benefits of facial recognition.
D．The introduction to facial recognition.組卷：0引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．These days there is so much tempting technology to look at：smart phones，tablets，computer games and TV screens.Much of children's entertainment and education comes from using them，so it's no wonder they spend so much time staring at them.But even if the saying that looking at a screen for too long gives you square eyes isn't true，there is still some concern.So，should we be worried？
Certainly for children who spend hours glued to a screen，there is a concern that their health might be at risk.Also there is a fear that their eyesight is declining too.Although there's not much evidence to prove this yet，recent findings have brought the problem into light.
Chris Hammond，consultant at St Thomas' Hospital，says "We find short-sightedness is becoming more common It has greatly spread in East Asia，Singapore，Taiwan，South Korea where approaching 90 of 18-year-olds are now short-sighted."
But can this be linked to children's obsession with using electronic gadgets？Annegret Dahlmann，expert at Moorfields Eve Hospital in London.jye.ai lack of natural light seems to be the key issue.She's suggested that children in East Asia study a lot，using computers，smart phones or tablets，and they go outside less.Wearing glasses is one solution，but it's not ideal.
This leads to a dilemma：achieving short-term academic success or protecting your long-term eyesight.It's always going to be a challenge to drag children away from their screens and it's likely that more and more studying will be done online.But despite that，Professor Hammond says. "In countries like urban China，where 10% of children in each class per year are becoming short-sighted from about the age of six.jye.ai's an argument for saying we should be trying to prevent it." It's evidence we can't turn a blind eye to.So，maybe it's time to hit the "off" button and get our children outside？
（1）What can we infer from the first two paragraphs？
A．Recent findings have opened our eyes to the issue of eyesight.
B．Looking at a screen for too long will get you square eyes.
C．It has been confirmed that children's eyesight is failing.
D．Using electronic gadgets affects children's education.
（2）According to Annegret，which is mainly to blame for short-sightedness？
A．Wearing glasses.
B．Heavy school work.
C．Lack of natural light.
D．Booming technology.
（3）According to the text，what trouble has raised concerns？
A．Learning online or offline.
B．Reading for pleasure or exams.
C．Focusing on study or protecting eyesight.
D．Protecting eyesight or promoting technology.
（4）What does the author call on children to do？
A．Study hard.
B．Head outdoors.
C．Quit computer.
D．Challenge more.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
