2．If you have a smartphone，you probably use its front-facing camera for selfies （自拍） and the occasional video call.You might use your next smartphone's front camera for the same thing，but there's a chance that the camera won't completely turn off once you're done with it.
This week，chipmaker Qualcomm revealed its latest Snapdragon processor （處理器），which will power many of the high-end Android smartphones that you'll see in stores in 2022，including models from Motorola，Sony and OnePlus.And a new feature built into that chip could allow smartphone makers to keep those front-facing cameras on all the time in a sort of low-power mode，waiting and watching for a face to appear in front of it.
The idea of a camera that stays on as long as your phone does seems deeply unsettling，even in an age where people are convinced that smartphones are already overheard（偷聽）on our conversations.So why is a company responsible for building the brains of our smartphones trying to make "always-on" cameras a common feature？
In time，a phone using this new chip could actually unlock itself when it sees your face，and automatically lock itself again when you're not looking at it anymjye.aie.Or，if it sees someone else's face next to yours，the phone could automatically hide notifications （通知） so no one else can see what your incoming emails or Slack messages are about.The benefit of a phone is that it knows to act differently when you're not looking back.
As it turns out，the Qualcomm tech that could make such features possible is conceptually pretty basic. "What's happening here is to find out：is there a face，or is there not a face，" Heape told me. "There is not a photograph taken.There is no video being recorded." He also said that none of camera data leaves the chip when it's being analyzed （分析） for faces.
（1）Why does the author mention "selfies" and "video call" in paragraph 1？
A．To advertise a product.
B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To lead to the topic.
（2）What is special about the latest Snapdragon processor？
A．It ensures a longer stay-on time.
B．It prevents users being overheard.
C．It is fit for all Android smartphones.
D．It keeps the front-facing cameras always on.
（3）What may be people's attitude to the new feature of the new smartphones？
A．Favorable.
B．Worried.
C．Positive.
D．Critical.
（4）What could be inferred from Heape's words？
A．Smartphones with the new chip are safe to use.
B．Smartphones with the new chip will be popular.
C．Face analyzing data are kept through the Internet.
D．Private needs are considered to make the new features.組卷：51引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．Whenever we talk about holidays，my mother teases my sister and me about how we "make out like robbers．" She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian，so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights：Hanukkah and Diwali．Though my mother teases us，I do not mind getting two sets of gifts!
Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day Of the Jewish month，which is usually sometime in December．On Hanukkah，like most Jewish families，we light a menorah and say a prayer each night．We also say a special prayer on the first night．After that，it is a tradition for my sister and me to do 'hot and cold' for our hidden Hanukkah gifts．When we walk towards the gift，our parents say 'hot' and when we walk further away，they say 'cold'．We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah．Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often．My aunt usually stays for a few days，and we sometimes visit other relatives．
Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin （October / November）．To celebrate Diwali，my family does a pooja，or prayers，in honor of the goddess Lakshmi．Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity，the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water．In India，people decorate their houses with lamps，similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas．My family just places a few candles outside．We also set off firecrackers，which is my favorite part．We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement．
Both holidays have different histories and stories．We celebrate theta in different ways，yet they both have the same meaning．They both translate into Festival of Lights．and they both mean family and presents for me!
（1）Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali？
A．Because he lives in a rich family．
B．Because he lives in two different countries．

B．A kind of Hanukkah gift．
C．A can of festival drink．
D．A riddle written on lights．
（3）We can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali．
A．share the same history and culture
B．are celebrated by both Jews and Indians
C．are both related to the legend of lights
D．encourage the families to do their prayers
（4）What is the author's attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali？

4．Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class，Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence．Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants，but that wasn't enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students．
Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support．When students feel ignored or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered，their motivation to continue begins to taper off．Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson．
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums．At first，the virtual assistant wasn't too great．But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40，000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched．Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers．After some adjustments and sufficient time，Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of the time．The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know she was a computer．The students，who were studying artificial intelligence，were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being．Goel didn't inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26．The students were actually very positive about the experience．
The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum．Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of artificial intelligence．
（1）What problem did Professor Goel meet with？
A．Students' questions were too many to deal with．
B．Teaching assistants were not professional at all．

B．Virtual assistant is getting popular in school．
C．Robots will replace humans in online classes．
D．One Georgia Tech's teaching assistant isn't human．組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5

5．Are you afraid of failure？However，only by getting over fear of failure can we achieve success in life.Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success：
Understand that at times you make mistakes.（1）.Before any of us learned how to walk，we crawled（爬行）.We got up，fell down and got up again.We continued the process until we could walk quite well.
（2）.Instead，view it as a stepping stone.Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations.Refuse to consider failure a character weakness.Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.
Remember that failure has produced many successes.（3）.Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said，"Einstein，you will never achieve anything！" Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become a composer.Henry Ford's first two car companies failed.
Appreciate the benefits of failure.Ralph Waldo Emerson said，"All life is an experiment.The more experiments you try，the better you make." It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success the first time he tries.（4）.
Believe in yourself.Rather than give up when things don't work out，take it as a chance to build perseverance（堅持不懈）.Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up.（5）.
A.Don't take failure personally.
B.Work hard and try to avoid failure.
C.Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes.
D.Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times.
E.Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work.
F.Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.
G.In other words，your chances of getting things right on the first try are little.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.7

All Compean could do then was wait and（6）.The temperature was dropping fast.After（7）two mountain lions and a bear，he kept a big stick and some（8）rocks beside him in case an animal came close.

7．Hospital Food-The Best Medicine Few sick people consider the quality of the food when choosing a hospital.That is perhaps just as well.Even in America，a country where private hospitals have long provided individual rooms with such comforts as personal cable television，patients are often still fed institutional food "Mystery meat" and （1）
（process） cheese slices are common. （2）gets cooked in a microwave.Many of country's biggest hospitals get their food from the likes of Ara-mark，a giant global caterer that also provides meals to schools and prisons.
More hospitals are starting to feed their patients better food.Inter-mountain，a nonprofit group based in Utah that runs 32 hospitals across the Mountain West，has since 2019 served freshly made meals to patients.Chefs in proper kitchens now source local ingredients to serve in cafeterias.Doctors are consulted to meet patients' dietary needs.Christopher Delissio，the head chef at Inter-mountain，describes （3）（create） a meal for a Mexican child who was being treated for cancer. "He （4）not eat mumbling the food was tasteless，" Mr Delissio recalls，and that was making it harder for him to recover from chemotherapy. "I was able to go up on the floor，speak to this boy's parents and him and kind of （5）（figure） out what he wanted，" he says.
The link between eating well and good health has long been clear，says David Eisenberg，a nutrition specialist at the Harvard School of Public Health.Heart disease，which has a direct connection to diet，is America's （6）（big） killer.Roughly two-fifths of American adults are clinically obese，and over 14% suffer from diabetes.The right food can help patients avoid going back to hospital.Yet doctors （7）have often been slow to recognise the need to encourage healthy eating，says Dr Eisenberg.Most health care remains curative， （8）preventive.Medical schools still rarely teach much about nutrition.
A decade ago Henry Ford Hospital in West Bloomfield，outside Detroit，opened a teaching kitchen （9）staff could help patients plan affordable，healthy meals and learn how to cook jye.aim.The idea is now spreading widely.In October a conference for health and food professionals in Los Angeles will encourage the adoption of such kitchens.Participants will tour a new one that has just opened at UCLA's hospital.
Challenges remain.Doctors do not get paid more （10），owing to healthier eating，patients no longer need treatment.But at least，says Dr Eisenberg，insurers are starting to balk at the expense associated with chronically sick patients.組卷：10引用：1難度：0.5
