【題目】 Large gatherings such as weddings and meetings can be socially flooded with people. Learning people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but experts suggest people should be careful while using it.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces through smartphone cameras and facial recognition (識(shí)別), avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody," says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in through social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously set geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face, the app identifies (識(shí)別) the person, displays the person's name, and links to his or her social media information. To protect Privacy (隱私), it recognizes only those who have agreed to use. And the app's creators say it automatically removes users' data after an event.

Ann Cavoukian, an expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures. She added, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that "there may be unexpected results down the road with that information being used in another situation that might come back to bite you."

The start-up project has developed the app for people who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness," a condition that prevents people from recognizing people they have met. To use this app, a person first receives an image of someone's face, from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots or recognizes that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user's phone, according to the team behind the app.

【1】Social Recall is used to .

A.take photosB.identify people

C.organize eventsD.make friends

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about .

A.how the app works

C.what makes the app popular

A.giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B.collecting information previously entered in the phone

C.providing the information of a person when they first meet

D.showing the person's information when it spots a stored face

【4】What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?

A.It may put people's personal information at risk.

B.It has caused many unexpected results.

C.It can stop people recognizing people they have met.

D.It is praised by users for its protective measures.

【解析】

本文介紹了一款新的面部識(shí)別應(yīng)用程序SocialRecall，專(zhuān)家建議人們小心使用它。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第2段第1句“The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces through smartphone cameras and facial recognition (識(shí)別), avoiding the need for formal introductions.（這款名為SocialRecall的應(yīng)用程序通過(guò)智能手機(jī)攝像頭和面部識(shí)別將名字和面部聯(lián)系起來(lái)，避免了正式介紹的必要。）”可知“SocialRecal是用來(lái)識(shí)別人的”，故選B。

【2】主旨題。第三段意思是“在收到活動(dòng)組織者發(fā)出的下載SocialRecall的邀請(qǐng)后，用戶(hù)需要自拍兩張照片并通過(guò)社交媒體登錄。在活動(dòng)中，應(yīng)用程序在先前設(shè)置的地理區(qū)域內(nèi)處于活動(dòng)狀態(tài)。當(dāng)用戶(hù)將手機(jī)攝像頭指向與會(huì)者的臉時(shí)，應(yīng)用程序會(huì)識(shí)別此人，顯示此人的姓名，并鏈接到其社交媒體信息。為了保護(hù)隱私，它只識(shí)別那些同意使用app的人。而這款應(yīng)用的創(chuàng)建者說(shuō)，它會(huì)在事件結(jié)束后自動(dòng)刪除用戶(hù)的數(shù)據(jù)。”可知第3段主要是關(guān)于SocialRecal應(yīng)用程序如何工作的。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第5段第2和3句“To use this app, a person first receives an image of someone's face, from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots or recognizes that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed.（要使用這個(gè)應(yīng)用程序，用戶(hù)首先從智能手機(jī)的攝像頭或照片中接收到某人的面部圖像，然后用名稱(chēng)標(biāo)記它。當(dāng)相機(jī)在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中發(fā)現(xiàn)或識(shí)別同一張臉時(shí)，將顯示先前輸入的信息。）”可知“SocialRecall通過(guò)在發(fā)現(xiàn)儲(chǔ)存的面孔時(shí)顯示該人的信息來(lái)幫助面容失認(rèn)癥患者”，故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第4段中“there may be unexpected results down the road with that information being used in another situation that might come back to bite you（在另一種情況下使用這些信息可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生意想不到的結(jié)果，可能會(huì)傷害你）”可知關(guān)于SocialRecall我們可以了解到SocialRecall可能使人們的個(gè)人信息處于危險(xiǎn)之中。故選A。

【題目】 A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and g【1】, he neglected（忽視） the elder son. It was completely puzzling（令人費(fèi)解） and no one knew why.

When the boys grew up, they were a【2】 to manage the father's business. The elder son was serious about the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy w【3】。 Within a few years, he ran the business very well and e【4】expanded（擴(kuò)大）it.

What about the younger son? He didn't have much to do e【5】having a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a s【6】businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.

A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued s【7】 his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son's far smaller share（份） of business had expanded and he had proved h【8】to be a good decision maker.

Ashamed at the turn of events the father met the elder son and was a【9】with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to s【10】up an independent business and live on his own.

“Why?” asked the father: “I blame（責(zé)備） one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it's not him. You can't blame children for the faults（過(guò)失）of their parents, can you?" asked the elder son.

【題目】 Do you know what makes you happy or do you just think you know? At first, these two questions look the same. If you think something makes you happy, then it makes you happy. You know yourself, don't you?

Write a list of all the things that make you happy. How many of them are fun? Most of them? So if you spend your time doing all these fun things, you'll be really happy, won't you?

Well, maybe not. For most people, fun isn't enough for real happiness, Paul Dolan wrote a book called Happiness by Design. He thinks happiness comes from both pleasure and purpose. If most of the things on your list are about pleasure, that is what you think makes you happy. But you also need activities with purpose.

If you're a student, your job is studying and passing exams. It's easy to do well in subjects you like, but subjects you don't like are less motivating. They're not fun for you, but you have to study them so you need to find purpose. An A in a subject you hate won't help the world. But can you be part of a study team with friends? Each person can study one part until they understand it and then teach it to the rest of the group. The purpose becomes helping the team.

Go back to your list of things that make you happy. How many of them are activities that bring purpose? Can you add any? Remember, some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose.

Now you need to design a happy life. Paul Dolan believes people should "decide, design, do." First decide what brings you pleasure and purpose, then, don't just think about these activities, fill your life with them. For example, you might love riding a bike but never have time to do it. So ride to school or the library or the shops. If you live too far away, take your bike on the bus or train. Get off early and ride the rest of the way. If you go in the car, put it in the back, stop a few kilometres away and ride the rest. Or move somewhere you can ride more. Some parts of our lives are good or bad luck, but we can still design the rest to make more happiness.

【1】According to Paul Dohn happiness is from both ________.

A.patience and luckB.pleasure and purpose

C.subjects and gradesD.conditions and decisions

【2】What does the word "motivating" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Encouraging.B.Helpful.C.Disappointing.D.Valuable.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A.Destroying HappinessB.Enjoying Happiness

C.Creating HappinessD.Delivering Happiness
