21、Facial recognition is becoming increasingly common in China, where it has been installed at ATM machines and KFC restaurants. Now the technology has arrived in university classrooms to track student attendance.
Shen Hao, a professor with Communication University of China, is using facial recognition in his six courses to keep track of the attendance of more than 300 students.
Before every class, Shen activates a new attendance system installed on his tablet computer. Students stand in front of the screen one by one to have their photos taken and matched with those in the school’s database.
The system is based on facial recognition technology from Chinese Internet giant Baidu’s open AI platform. Currently, the platform has offered more than 80 different technological services to the public, helping program developers like Shen to develop their own applications.
“The traditional way of tracking attendance is through a roll call. The new system saves time and reduces the workload of teachers,” said Shen.
Students have joked that facial recognition is harsh as it doesn’t allow for skipping classes. “But they support the technology to enter colleges,” said Cui Yuqin, a student majoring in data journalism with the university.
China’s Forward-looking Industry Institute said that the facial recognition market in China surpassed 1 billion yuan (about 150 million U.S. dollars) in 2016 and is expected to hit 5.1 billion yuan by 2021.
Facial recognition technology has already been put to creative use. Beijing’s Temple of Heaven has used it in toilets to deter toilet paper theft. In east China’s Jinan, traffic police installed facial scanners at intersections to catch and shame jaywalkers, and a Beijing university has used the technology to guard its dorms.
【1】What are the advantages of using facial recognition in college courses?
a. It makes it difficult for students to skip classes.
b. It helps students to attend classes easily.
c. It helps save time in classes.
d. It can make teachers match students’ names with their faces easily.
e. It reduces teachers’ amount of work.
A．abc
B．ace
C．bcd
D．bce
【2】What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．severe.
B．easy.
C．harmful.
D．wonderful.
【3】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Facial recognition encourages the development of modern technology.
B．Chinese university uses facial recognition to track student attendance.
C．Baidu’s open AI platform has offered facial recognition technology.
D．Facial recognition technology has many advantages over traditional services.
【4】Where can this passage most probably be found?
A．In a scientific report.
B．In a lifestyle report.
C．In an official document.
D．In a book review
22、Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts. Reverse tourism has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10-fold. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and environmental encounters. Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. Travelers tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.
【1】What are the statistics in paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China.
B．The contributions of tourism to Chinese economy.
C．The popularity of travel to well-known destinations.
D．The difficulty of bookings for hotels during holidays.
【2】What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism?
A．The impact of tourist crowds.
B．The low cost of local travel.
C．The attraction of new resorts.
D．The changing needs for travel.
【3】What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism?
A．Doubtful
B．Objective
C．Supportive
D．Critical
【4】What is Jiang Han’s advice on developing the tourism market?
A．Finding the potential and features of lesser-known attractions.
B．Improving the management rules of tourist attractions further.
C．Promoting the local places of interest through online media.
D．Upgrading the supporting’ facilities in lesser-known resorts.
23、Joseph Conrad, a famous English novelist, said that his goal as a writer was “to make you hear, to make you feel, and above all, to make you see. That, and no more, is everything.” 【1】 Often it leaves a single sharp impression to be turned over and over in the mind. After finishing the story, the reader should have something to think about: the humor of life, its ironies, or the unpredictability of human behavior.
【2】 The first and most obvious level is conveyed through the plot. Plot refers to the sequence of events, to the actions of the characters and the situations in which they are involved. To explain the plot, then, is to tell what happened in the story and to whom. In some short stories, plot is the dominating element. In other short stories, plot plays a very minor role.
In Hemingway’s story, The Old Man and the Sea, however, we must approach the content on another level. 【3】 To understand and appreciate the story, the reader must be able to identify its general topic or theme. The next step is to identify the device by which the author comments on this theme. 【4】
Readers cannot appreciate a short story fully unless they react not only to what has been said but also to how it has been said. 【5】 Style grows out of the writer’s own personality and can be seen in the choice of words and phrases, the arrangement of sentences, the rhythm and tone. Structure refers to the architecture of the story, the way in which the details are selected and arranged to produce the desired effect.
A．They must look for style and structure.
B．In complex stories, careful readers may not always agree with the author.
C．The impact on the reader comes from the sudden and unexpected response.
D．A good short story tries to give the reader a sense of the actual experience.
E．Finally, the reader should be able to explain the insights which the author has given into the theme.
F．The impact of the story comes from the insight it gives us into the needs and desires of youth and old age.
G．In order to read a short story with full understanding, the reader must approach the content on two levels.
24、 Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.That is，generally，younger people tend to outnumber older people in face of a technological shift.
It is not always the case，though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars，there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall disagree on whether they’d like to use a driverless car.In a study last year，of all people surveyed,48 percent said they wanted to ride in one，while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward selfdriving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them，every age group is similarly engaged.
When it comes to driverless cars，differences in attitude are obvious based on factors not related to age.College graduates，for example，are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education：59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a highschool diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters，too.More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there’s reason to believe that interest in selfdriving cars is going up，a person’s age will have little to do with how selfdriving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cars are actually available for sale，the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
【1】What usually happens when a new technology appears?
A.It benefits society greatly.
B.The old are not happy with it.
C.People of different ages react differently.
D.It will separate the old from the young.
【2】What does the author say about the driverless car?
A.It makes people’s life more convenient.
B.It can lead to fewer road accidents.
C.It may start a revolution in the car industry.
D.It does not seem to create a generational divide.
【3】Who are the most potential customers of the driverless car?
A.The seniors. B.The wealthy.
C.The educated. D.The car lovers.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
How Do Our Phones Affect Our Parenting?
As a pediatrician (儿科医生), I have researched how mobile phone use affects family dynamics. The parent-child relationship is central to children’s social and emotional health and life success — yet I also see how more and more family interactions interrupted by mobile devices … including my own.
My interest in the topic began in 2010. I worked for a year as a pediatrician in the suburbs outside of Seattle. Many of the parents bringing in their sick kids worked at tech companies and were early adopters of mobile devices. During my training, I had gotten used to children playing with handheld gaming devices, but this was different: parents texted during health-related conversations (were they really processing what I was saying?); looked up medical information online to check my accuracy (was this a sign of parent anxiety?); and used videos to stop children from crying (this was pretty helpful during ear exams, but is it OK other times, I wondered?).
I was fascinated by the cultural change America was experiencing with the rapid adoption of mobile devices. But as a pediatrician, I had no idea what to do about it. So when I moved to Boston for training in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics, I decided to explore the topic in more depth.
I started my research by observing families in fast food restaurants and the results were pretty eye-opening: when parents’ attention was highly absorbed in their smartphones, parents talked less to children; responded slower (or not at all) to child bids for attention; and sometimes overreacted to child behavior.
Our more recent studies show that in the long-run, parent technology use during parent-child activities leads to more difficult child behavior — which in turn leads to more parent technology usage. It’s a vicious cycle: when kids stress us out, we often go to our phones for escape or to avoid interaction, and this interrupts time with kids or makes them annoyed, and they might react with difficult behavior, and so on.
As a working mom of two young boys, I knew how this child-phone multitasking felt to me, but I wanted to hear what others thought. So I interviewed 35 parents from diverse backgrounds in Boston to understand their experiences. They told me they have never felt their brains split in so many directions — like all the matters of the world could intrude upon home time and “land in their lap”. They expressed both relief and despair when their phones were broken or lost, because while this made it easier to “single-task” on their kids again, they also felt cut off from friends and information.
