• 1．If you are currently learning English，I highly recommend you check out the apps below.
  Quizlet
     When learning English，you probably have to memorize a lot of words.If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible，a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut.With Quizlet，you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn，and practice typing them out until you know them by heart.It's a simple concept，but it's highly effective.
  Spotify
     Spotify is not a language learning app.But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客），and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits.If Spotify is already on your phone，you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English，or make your own.
  Beelinguapp
     Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible.It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side.Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word.They cover topics from fairytales，to science，to current news articles.There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio，which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
  Tandem
     Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world.It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language，so you can swap language skills.If you only have five minutes to spare，you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker.If you have more time，you can have a longer，digital language exchange by sharing voice notes，or using video chat.It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

• 2．In March 2020，when I stood alone in the middle of the main road to the Lake District，it felt like the end of the world.As a local farmer，I've grown used to the heavy traffic.But suddenly，everything changed.The lockdown brought quietness to the area，and I did feel a sense of relief to be done with the noise for a while.
     Just off the main road is Matterdale，where I live with my family.We own a farm and our work focuses on tending farm animals.Like many who live in tourist attractions，we have been annoyed by some visitors.My farming would have been significantly easier without people parking in gateways，walking through the fields of lambs with loose dogs scaring them，or abandoning their tents along the river.
     Despite my complaints，however，I would never reject visitors' presence.I do understand their need for rest after months of urban life.In fact，I think I need them too.Of course，communities like ours rely on the income that tourism creates.But to me，there is something more personal.I once took my kids to the lake.Near the shore，we saw boys and girls playing together.A young dad was holding his kid's hand as she tiptoed through the shallows.An elderly couple were sitting in the shade，admiring the view.I found myself content knowing that I was sharing this landscape with others.
     As lockdown restrictions have relaxed and visitors started to come back，I wonder how we can coexist happily.For those who are reading this，I hope that my words can encourage you to respect the communities you visit，and understand the responsibilities that come with visiting those places.Our love can coexist，even if it sometimes makes life a little crowded.

  A．Boring.

  D．Disappointing.
  （2）Why was the author annoyed by some visitors？

  
  A．They polluted the water.
  B．They scared his dogs away.

  D．They brought inconvenience to his work.

  A．To earn more money.
  B．To meet new people in his life.
  C．To share the beauty of the land.
  D．To let more people love his farm.
  （4）What is the main purpose of the text？

• 3．The human face is a remarkable piece of work.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognise each other and is important to the formation of complex jye.aicieties.So is the face's ability to send emotional signals，whether through red cheeks or a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives reading faces，in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom，for signs of attraction，unfriendliness，trust and cheat.They also spend plenty of time trying to be in disguise.
      Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.In America facial recognition is used by churches to track Christians' attendance；in Britain，by shopkeepers to spot past thieves.This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game.In China it checks the identities of ride-hailing drivers，permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile.Apple's new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the home screen.
     Set against human skills，such applications might develop gradually.Some breakthroughs，such as flight or the internet，obviously transform human abilities；facial recognition seems merely to encode them.Although faces are special to individuals，they are also public，so technology does not，at first sight，interrupt something that is private.And yet the ability to record，store and analyse images of faces cheaply，quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to ideas of privacy，fairness and trust.
     The face is not just a name-tag.It displays a lot of other information-and machines can read that，too.Again，that promises benefits.Some firms are analyzing faces to provide diagnoses of rare genetic conditions or diseases.
  
  （1）What is the function of facial features？

  
  A．To help people send emotional signals.
  B．To help shopkeepers spot past thieves.
  C．To help the formation of complex societies.
  D．To help churches track Christians' attendance.
  （2）Which of the following can NOT best describe facial recognition？

  
  A．Technological.
  B．Private.
  C．Creative.
  D．Scientific.
  （3）What's the author's attitude toward facial recognition？

  
  A．Opposed.
  B．Ambiguous.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Negative.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Facial Recognition.
  B．The Human Face.
  C．Facial Features.
  D．Human Skills.
