(福建漳州一中2019年高三模拟考) New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial－recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody，” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download
SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person's name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start－up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness，” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone's face, from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user's phone, according to the team behind the app.

When big news breaks, it's easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can be a place to find useful information. __1__ Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.
Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.
__2__ In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have correct information and tidbits (八卦新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.
Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. __3__ On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.
Be skeptical. __4__ After the Boston Marathon bombing, NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims. Not true. There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories. The
Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public
officials and politicians. Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age－appropriate. Kids aren't always ready to digest big, tragic news — especially if the news is about kids, such as school shootings or abuses. The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids, and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. __5__
A．Remember, breaking news is often wrong.
最新Word
B．It also can be the source of misinformation.
C．If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. D．Make sure you and your kids aren't falling victim to false news. E．However, after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.
F．With social media at your fingertips, it's convenient to express your opinion. G．Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid－guided news sources.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些父母可以提供给孩子的建议，这些帮助他们在网上阅读新闻时更快地做出判断。
1．B 上文提示“互联网是一个可以找到有用信息的地方。”承接上文，B项“It also can be the source of misinformation(它也可能是错误信息的来源)．”切题。此处also将上下文连接在一起。故选B。
2．A 下文提示“在匆忙报道新闻的过程中，记者会犯错误，官员们并不总是掌握正确的信息，而那些听起来合情合理的小道消息往往会在任何人检查其准确性之前就被传开。”承接下文，A项“Remember, breaking news is often wrong(记住，突发新闻往往是错误的)．”切题。故选A。
3．E 上文提示“有人说，在悲剧发生的头几分钟里，Twitter是一个很好的新闻来源。”承接上文，E项“However, after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate(然而，在那之后，它就变得混乱，而且在很大程度上是不准确的)．”切题。该项中的However表示一种转折关系，将上下文紧紧联系在一起。故选E。
4．C 根据本段小标题“务必持怀疑态度”。再根据下文提示“波士顿马拉松爆炸案发生后，NBC体育报道称，一些跑步者一直跑到医院为受害者献血。不是真的。”承接标题和下文，C项“If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is(如果某件事听起来好得令人难以置信，那么它很可能不是真的)．”切题。故选C。
5．G 上文提示“不断重复的信息可能会让年幼的孩子感到困惑，而且在新闻活动开始时，父母可能无法提供任何正确的答案。”承接上文，G项“Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid－guided news sources(想要更多地了解某些事件的孩子可以查看儿童指导的新闻来源)．”切题。故选G。
