A Chinese company, the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. , says it has created a new facial recognition system that can ident

13、ify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies d

14、eveloped over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said. The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs single channel recognition, whi

15、ch is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a multi-channel recognition system that uses groups of surveillance（监视）cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second. When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose,

16、the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified, said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the systems success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99. 5%. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and

New Facial Recognition System to Identify People in MasksDWe already know that eating too much salt can lead to heart disease. But could it also affect our mind? Sci

21、entists found that a high-salt diet could cause cognitive impairments （认知损伤）in mice, and it could produce the same effect on humans. Dr. Costantino ladecola, director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute, said they fed the mice eight to sixteen times their normal salt intake（摄入量）and

22、then tested the mice. After about three months, the mice had a big change in their behaviour. Mice are very curious, and they like to look for new things. However, the tested mice lost the ability to identify a normal object. When the mice were put in their cage and asked to find a quiet spot, they

23、did not remember where the quiet spot was. Then when the mice were building a nest, which is something the mice do daily, they were unable to do so. The research suggested humans would experience a similar response. Studies have shown Australians eat around double the recommended amount of salt each

24、 day, most of it coming from processed food. Dr. Iadecola said the estimated two teaspoons of salt the average Australian eats each day could affect the brain function in the long term. However, the decline might not be as obvious as in the mice, who were given extremely high levels of salt. But pro

25、bably over years and perhaps decades 一 as opposed to a few months for the mice- even lower levels of salt may have a terrible effect, Dr. Iadecola said. High levels of salt cause serious immune（免疫的）changes in the organs in and around the stomach, resulting in an almost autoimmune（自身免疫的）effect on the

26、 brain. It is part of a growing body of evidence that we really are what we eat, Bryce Vissel, director of the Centre for Neuroscience at the University of Technology Sydney, said. Those changes in turn cause all kinds of responses in the body, which over time certainly lead to cognitive impairments

27、. 32. Which can describe the tested mice?A. They remain quiet all day. B. They became smarter than ever. C. They forgot some routine things. D. They were quick at finding objects. 33. What does the underlined word decline in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The bad effect of high levels of salt intake on mic

28、e. B. The good effect of high levels of salt intake on mice. C. The bad effect of high levels of salt intake on Australians. D. The good effect of high levels of salt intake on Australians. 34. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A. Studies carried out by Bryce Vissel. B. Immune changes bro

29、ught about by diet. C. Effects of salt intake on human behaviour. D. Links between salt intake and brain damage. 35. What does the text suggest?A. Brain health counts much. B. The body never tells a lie. C. Immune changes make no difference. D. A low-salt diet is to be recommended. 山东省淄博市2021-2022学年

African Bush Elephants arent just killed for the illegal trade, but they are often the sufferers of conflicts with local people too.

42、To help them, we need to give them room to travel! A possible solution would be to provide wildlife roads that allow the African Bush Elephant to travel without coming into conflict with people.

D.）, which consisted of a sensor（传感器）that took an incoming light and transformed it into an electrical sign

47、al. Mr. Sasson wanted to capture an image with it, but the C. C. D. couldnt hold it because the electrical pulses（脉冲） quickly disappeared. To store the image, he decided to use digitalization, turning the electronic pulses into numbers. But that solution led to another challenge storing it on RAM me

He also needed to invent a playback system that would take the digital informationon the tape and turn it into something that you could see on a television set: a digital image.

The camera and the playback system were the beginning o
