2．In 1939，seven-year-old Miriam Schreiber should have started first grade.Instead，she spent that year - and the following five - trying to survive.She was living in Poland when World War Ⅱ broke out. "My entire life was ruined within minutes，" she says. "I was looking forward to starting school." She never made it.And not having a degree has always been a thorn in her side.
Decades later，though，the now-89-year-old Holocaust survivor finally got something she had always longed for.Kapiloff Brander，director of community programs at Jewish Family Services，reached out to the New England Jewish Academy，a Jewish high school，to ask whether the school could help Maria m fulfill her wish.Richard Nabel，the principal of the school，brought a few senior students to Miriam's home to hear her story before they came up with the idea of presenting her an honorary diploma at the school's 2020 graduation ceremony.
Miriam suffered a lot in a slave labor camp in Siberia before she got liberated in 1946.She and her remaining family members went to a refugee camp in Germany，where she got married and had her first child at the age of 16.Having spent years in refugee camps in different countries，she finally immigrated to America in 1960.Getting a formal education was never an option for her but she learned seven languages over the years. "I educated myself，" she says. "I read books day and night.I still do."
On August 16，during a socially distanced ceremony in the school gym，Miriam was presented with a high school diploma from the New England Jewish Academy. "There weren't too many dry eyes among the 30 of us there，" says Nabel.Miriam's family was especially moved.

3．It's possible that your phone's face-unlock might finally be able to work while you're wearing a mask.Researchers have found that facial recognition algorithms（算法）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 2020，it found that algorithms weren't great at identifying faces with masks. "Face recognition can make errors，which can implicate people for crimes they haven't committed，" writes the Electronic Frontier Foundation（EFF）. "It is particularly bad at recognizing African Americans and other ethnic minorities，women，and young people." 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. "After the pandemic，some developers have submitted algorithms which show 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 report.Eight different algorithms now hold false rates below 0.05 percent.
Nevertheless，there remain a number of limitations to the study.NIST researchers did not employ actual images of masked faces.Instead，they applied masks digitally to ensure consistency across the sample.As a result，"We were not able to get a thorough simulation（模仿）of the endless variations in color，design，shape，texture，and ways masks can be worn，" the report states.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）Recognizing masked faces with facial recognition systems used to be thought as.
A．effective
B．impossible
C．easy
D．challenging
（2）What does the underlined phrase "bear out" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Make.
B．Prove.
C．Deny.
D．Oppose.
（3）What can be learned about the study？
A．The way to wear masks may affect recognition accuracy.
B．The design of a mask makes no difference to facial recognition.
C．Facial recognition failure rates were quite low at the beginning.
D．The researchers adopted real surgical masks to ensure the accuracy.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．Limitations of Facial Recognition Software
B．The Challenge of Recognizing Masked Faces
C．The improvement in Facial Recognition Algorithms
D．Different Applications of Facial Recognition Technology組卷：7引用：3難度：0.5

9．One Saturday morning，Jeremy woke up to a quiet house.Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen，but not today.At the sound of his mom coughing，Jeremy knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern， "Mom，are you OK？" "Honey，" Mom said weakly. "I have a terrible cold.You can have cereal （燕麥） for breakfast and watch cartoons.I'm going to stay in bed."
Jeremy poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry.Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day.How could Jeremy help？First，he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter.He also put away the cereal box neatly，so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up.But what else could he do？Jeremy thought.Saturday was the day when mom did laundry.
Jeremy loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine.That should be fun!He ran to his room to get the laundry basket，inside which there was his mother's favorite white dress，among other clothes and a pair of red socks.Jeremy opened the door to the washer and put the clothing inside.He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times，so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine.Finally，he closed the door and pressed the big button that said "START."
Jeremy looked through the round glass window.Water was pouring in，and the machine was starting to spin，making his clothing tumble around.That was easy!Jeremy watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep.That meant the washing was done.Jeremy opened the door to take out the damp clotjye.ais.He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer.Everything seemed clean，and Jeremy felt proud.Then he pulled out a pink dress.
