8、ne 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 weve invented machines that are able to recognize faces for numerous purposes.Governments, employers and security and police services are increasi

9、ngly using facial recognition technology. This allows them to quickly confirm an individuals identity. Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a crowd of thousands of people. All thats required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any

10、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 benefits. It is instantaneous, and it relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will req

11、uire a password in the rare event that it doesnt, for whatever reason, recognize the users 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

12、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 corona-virus and the widespread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are

13、having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a persons 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.4. Whats the au

17、on.C. The benefits of facial recognition.D. The introduction to facial recognition.CShark attacks not only disturb beach activities, but can affect associated tourism industries. Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems.Seeking

18、 a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas we have developed a system called SharkSpotter. It combines artificial intelligence(A1),computing power,and drone(無人機(jī)）technology to identify and warn lifesavers of sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University

19、 of Technology Sydney and the Ripper Group,which is pioneering the use of drones-calledWestpac Little Ripper Lifesaver in the search and rescue movement in Australia.Shark Spotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real time aerial imagery. The system analyzes videos from a camera a

20、ttached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues.Developed with techniques known as deep learning, the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put in

21、to one of 16 categories: sharks, whales, dolphins, rays, different types of boats surfers, and swimmers.If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the

22、Shark Spotter system to the surf lifesavers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a life-saving flotation pod(漂浮艙）together with an electronic shark repellent(驅(qū)逐裝置）that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there

23、 are sharks close by.In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesaver was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, New South Wales (NSW). The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a life-saving flotation pod was dropped from the drone

24、The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine(海洋的）life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of insuring safe beaches, protecti

25、ng environments, and romoting tourism.8.What is a Shark Spotter?A.A solution to monitor sharks.B. An equipment to identify lifesavers.C.A technology to prevent shark attacks.D.A project to pioneer the use of drones.9. When a shark is spotted near a swimmer, what will the system do?A . Take timely ac

26、tion .B. Analyze the visual data.C. Classify the identified objects.D. Turn on the deep learning mode.10. What does the example in Paragraph 5 show us?A. The system is efficient in saving lives.B.The system is effective in detecting sharks.C. The system is smart in driving sharks away.D. The system

27、is practical over the whole sea area.11.What is the authors attitude toward the future of SharkSpotter?A . Doubtful . B.Optimistic.Negative. D.Objective.DIn the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and t

28、urned the famous into the infamous,overnight.A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility.Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared.Short video apps such as Tik Tok and its Chinese equivalent(對(duì)應(yīng)物）Douyin,took the world by storm.The Telegraph reported that Tik To

29、k was ranked 8th on Apples App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said.Why are these short videos-which are rarely longer than a few minutes-so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. Short vi

30、deos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,he told CNBC.These videos-apart from being very convenient-are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves,according to Teen Vogue.Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical. ly who has over 2 million followe

31、rs,said,The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.Live streaming(直播）is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise . Its a pretty neat idea : You can watch anyone , anywhere , live . However , China has taken live streaming to

32、a whole new level. In China, more than 100million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams. Among them is viewers ability to interact with others using unknown names. However, the quick development of social media

33、 may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesnt mean that we understand the

34、 influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds.12.
