21、 Facial recognition algorithms are getting better at recognizing faces in masks,according to data published on Tuesday by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Using independent testing of more than 150 separate facial recognition algorithms, the new report suggests masks may not be as big a problem for facial recognition systems as initially thought.
When NIST first examined masks' effect on facial recognition in July, it found that algorithms weren't great at identifying faces with masks. But the pandemic has given developers plenty of time to focus on the mask problem, and NIST's data shows that facial recognition algorithms are getting better at working with masked faces. “Some developers have submitted algorithms after the pandemic showing significantly improved accuracy and are now among the most accurate in our test," the report reads. NIST's public ranking for facial recognition tests bears out this claim. Eight different algorithms now hold false rates below 0.05 percent.
The authors note a number of limitations to the study. NIST researchers did not employ actual images of masked fates. Instead, they applied masks digitally to ensure consistency across the sample. As a result,"we were not able to pursue a thorough simulation of the endless variations in color, design, shape, texture, bands, and ways masks can be worn," the report notes. The digital mask was a blue surgical mask covering the full width of the face, but testers noted that performance varied considerably depending on how high the mask was placed on the face.
【1】People used to think recognizing masked faces with facial recognition systems was____
A.risky B.challenging C.effective D.rewarding
【2】What does the underlined phrase "bear out" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Confirm. B.Dismiss. C.Investigate. D.Contradict.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The study is of little value due to its limitations.
B.The way to wear masks affects recognition accuracy.
C.The type of mask makes no difference to facial recognition.
D.The researchers adopted real surgical masks to ensure the accuracy.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce the improvement in facial recognition.
B.To promote the application of facial recognition.
C.To advertise various facial recognition algorithms.
D.To remove people's misunderstanding about facial recognition.

23、Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper---and its reporters---are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive.
A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the Country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too.
Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget.
Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment(注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says.
But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism.
The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.”
【1】What does the underlined word “bleak” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Hopeless
B.Interesting
C.Useless
D.Encouraging
【2】How do some universities respond to today’s journalism?
A.They reduce student enrollment.
B.They offer students specialized programs.
C.They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs.
D.They encourage students to run their own newspaper.
【3】Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists.
B.To prove the potential of a career in journalism.
C.To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel.
D.To prove people’s thirst for the latest news.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A.What is journalism?
B.What does a journalist do?
C.Does journalism have a future?
D.Are journalists still influential today?
24、 Jake Meyers, a graduate student in Northwestern University, has won the Best Sharable Video award in Planet Forward's national Storyfest 2020 competition. The project teaches, celebrates and rewards environmental storytelling by students from across the county.
As a master’s student, Meyers works at the intersection of climate adaptation and food security. During the summer of 2019, Meyers worked with the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya, to investigate climate adaptation solutions to food insecurity in the rapidly urbanizing nation.
Meyers´ video, "Can urban farming feed the future?", shares the story of Francis Wachira, a leading advocate for urban facing in Nairobi.
Millions of people are moving from rural to urban areas as large-scale farming, coupled with climate change, forces small-scale farmers to abandon their livelihoods and pursue economic opportunity in urban areas, "Meyers said.
As food security concerns grow for the people of Nairobi, farmers like Francis are transforming urban lots into highly productive green spaces to raise livestock ( 牲 畜 ), grow vegetables and fight climate change.
" Francis has an incredible urban farming system in Nairobi that features over 600 head of livestock and 150 species of plants, "Meyers said. " I wanted to highlight Francis and his innovative approach to urban farming through storytelling with the goal of inspiring change."
"I have become so inspired by many incredible people like Francis Wachira. So many around the world are re-imagining solutions to poverty and climate change, yet their stories remain untold. I hope to continue using storytelling as a means of highlighting different perspectives that can create impact and advocate for transformational change, "Meyers said.
【1】Where did Meyers make his video?
A.In different countries. B.In an urban area in Kenya.
C.In rural areas in Kenya. D.In Northwestern University.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined part "abandon their livelihoods"?
A.work harder B.give up farming
C.leave their farmland D.expand their farm
【3】What can be inferred about Meyers video?
A.It introduces the benefits of rural farming.
B.It introduces the benefits of urban farming.
C.It's mainly about the difficulties with urban farming.
D.It's mainly about the potential risks in rural farming.
【4】What sort of person does Meyers describe Francis as?
A.A person who introduces changes and new ideas.
B.A person who shows great interest in farming.
C.A person who is intelligent and hard-working.
D.A person who realizes the danger of climate change.
