Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-lineBResearchers at the University of York in England published their findings on facial recognition that, on average, people ca
19、n remember as many as 5,000 faces.There have been many studies recently on facial recognition technology. But the authors of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces. Rob Jenkins, leader of the research, said
20、 the researchers study centered on “the number of faces people actually know.” and were not able to discover whether there is a “limit on how many faces the brain can handle.”Jenkins said the ability to tell individual people apart is “clearly important.” In todays modern world of big cities, we mee
21、t and deal with thousands of people. The study suggests our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know. The results of the study give a baseline for comparing the “facial vocabulary” of humans with facial recognition sof
22、tware.Today, facial recognition technology is used in many ways, including by law enforcement agencies to prevent crime and violence. Governments use it to keep secret areas secure and, in extreme cases, control populations. Some governments use the software to watch people and find out where they g
23、o and what they do. Even Facebook uses facial recognition. For example, when you name a friend, Facebook technology may recognize the persons face from a different picture you had shared before.For the human study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possibl
24、e. At first, they found it easy to come up with many faces. But by the end of the hour, they found it harder to think of new ones. Their change in speed let the researchers estimate when they would have run out of faces completely. 1,000 to 10,000 faces remembered. People who took part in the study
25、were also shown thousands of photographs of famous people. Researchers asked them which ones they recognized. To make sure they knew these people, researchers required them to recognize two different photos of each famous person. The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000
26、 faces.How do they explain such a wide range? Jenkins said one explanation may be that some people have a natural ability for remembering faces. “There are differences in how much attention people pay to faces and how well they process the information.” Also it could be because of different social e
27、nvironments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. So, they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research. “It would be interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, J
28、enkins said. He said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.24. What can we learn from the research ?APeople can remember up to 5,000 faces averagely.BPeople can writ
29、e down up to 10,000 faces quickly.CThere is a limit to the number of faces a person can remember.DThere is a peak age for the number of faces a person can remember.25.

DInformation technologyCRoughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device(设备) may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is
32、 your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that theyre being recorded while you all watch the big game together?It
33、s certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix, says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, Americas distinguished manners advisors. I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera
34、or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if its not a security issue. Post wants to make it clear that shes not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.When it comes to security cameras, Post says its a hosts responsibility to make sure guests feel com
35、fortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.However, if a contractor(合约工)is working in your home, you dont need to tell them that th
36、ere are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors favor. If anything does go wrong while theyre in the house, they dont want to be blamed for it, she says. In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didnt steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.28
37、. The visitors are concerned that the security camera may .A. threaten their health B. spoil their peace of mindC. disturb their privacy D.affect their preference29.

Objective.DDemand for the Chinese tech companys devices(设备)is red hot even though the countrys overall market for smartphones is getting smaller. Huaweis China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quar
40、ter of 2018，and experts say thats partly due to the US governments global campaign against the company.“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义)in Chinese consumers,” said Jusy Hong，an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.He pointed out that some Chinese companies encou
41、raged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firms chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.Huaweis booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the Un
42、ited States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究)criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the worlds biggest smartphone maker by next year.Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of
43、 2018，nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL)，according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apples sales plunged almost 20%.Huaweis success in China, the worlds largest smartphone market is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high-end
44、phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge phones，Huawei is able to target a bigger market.It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE(ZTCOF)，a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for
45、 months last year.32. Why did Huaweis China sales increase greatly according to the article?A.

How do you understand the underlined word plunged in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by. B. reduced greatly to. C. dropped greatly by. D. remained steady.35. Why is Huaweis success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.B. Because Huaweis success is only limited
