12．The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind，first published in 1936.Her book and the movie based on it，tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War.Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta，Georgia，can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer's life.She was born in Atlanta in 1900.She started writing stories when she was a child.She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922.One photograph of Ms.Mitchell，called Peggy，shows her talking to a group of young college boys.She was only about one and a half meters tall.The young men tower over her but she seems very happy and sure of herself.The tour guide explains： "Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech，asking them such questions as 'Would you really marry a woman who works？ ' And today it'd be 'Would you marry one who doesn't？ ' "
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments.Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms.Mitchell lived with her husband，John Marsh.They made fun of the small apartment by calling it "The Dump ".
Around 1926，Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury.Her husband brought her books to read from the library.She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book.Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success.Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book.In 1939 the film version was released.It won ten Academy Awards，including Best Picture.

A．Peggy was small but confident and positive.
B．The young college men showed respect for Peggy.
C．Peggy had talent for journalism at a young age.
D．Employed women were unconventional in her days.
（3）Why did Ms.Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage？

13．A secretive facial recognition program "could announce the end of public anonymity （匿名），" said Kashmir Hill in The New York Times．While police departments have used facial recognition tools for years，they've been limited to searching government-provided images，for example driver's license photos．Now an app called Clearview AI can remove images of faces "from across the internet"-including social media sites like Facebook and Twitter，employment sites，even Venmo-gathering a database of more than 3 billion photos． "Until now，technology that readily identifies everyone based on his or her face has been forbidden because of its invasion of privacy．" Clearview licenses its technology to more than 600 law implementation agencies．New York City passed on the app after a 90-day test，worried about potential misuse．Clearview's investors "predict that its app will eventually be available to the public．" Soon， "searching someone by face could become as easy as Googling a name．"
We've been building toward this moment for a long time，said Adrian Chen in The California Sunday Magazine．In the late 1800s，the French police officer Alphonse Bertillon devised the first "method for identifying criminals based on their physical features，" using 11 physical measurements． But scale changes everything． The Department of Homeland Security plans to scan "97 percent of all passengers on outgoing international flights．" And the technology has been improved and commercialized to the point where you can search a database and buy scans for as little as "40 cents an image if you opt for Amazon's facial recognition software plan．"
All this has already led to growing fears about facial recognition，said Janosch Delcker and Cristiano Lima in Politico．com，but "efforts to check its spread are hitting a wall of resistance on both sides of the Atlantic．" A two-party push to limit the government's use of facial recognition has been delayed in Congress．The European Union （EU） is discussing a five-year temporary ban，but European privacy rules contain "a broad carve-out for public authorities．" And authorities are using it：London's police just last week enabled live facial recognition for cameras across the city．
Even if some bans on the technology succeed，said Bruce Schneier in The New York Times，we're still building an "observation society．" Facial recognition is just one identification technology among many．An entirely unregulated data industry is already creating "descriptions of who we are and what our interests are" by tracking our movements，purchases，and interactions． "We are being identified without our knowledge，and society needs rules about when that is permissible．"
（1）So far Clearview's customers are．
A．investors of AI APPs
B．social media sites
C．small groups of private users
D．government departments
（2）By "But scale changes everything．" （paragraph 2），the author means that．
A．facial identification technology has gone far beyond its original purpose
B．people should be scanned through more available physical measurements
C．border security inspection has brought commercialization of identification software
D．widespread cheap images are becoming a drawback for facial recognition technology
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？
A．Rules concerning anti-invasion of privacy are practicable around the world．
B．Facial recognition technology is too irresistible to set aside for governments．
C．Efforts to stop misuse of facial identification have achieved an initial success．
D．Prohibition on identification technology has gained support from governments．
（4）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？
A．Facial recognition is under control
B．Get your facial identification ready
C．Your face is now public property
D．Establish a larger face database組卷：20引用：3難度：0.7

39．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
Pumpkin（南瓜） carving at Halloween is a family tradition.We visit a local farm every October.In the pumpkin field，I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin.My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home，and as the eldest child I have an advantage-I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
This year，it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother， Jason，was the winner.Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides，but I was determined to prove my point.All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table，with my mum filming the annual event.I??m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter，but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table，hole uppermost，I bent over and pressed my head against the opening.At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then，as I went on with my task，unwilling to quit，my nose briefly prevented entry.Finally I managed to put my whole head into it，like a cork（軟木塞） forced into a bottle.I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived.The pumpkin was heavy. "I′m going to set it down，now，" I said，and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest.It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in.When I pulled hard，my nose got in the way.I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle，but it was no use. "I can't get it out!" I shouted，my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.
注意：
1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。

I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer._________________
