I. Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案):(5%

Looking to unlock

What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance(一瞥)?

On Sept 12,Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye-catching feature(特色)

-Face ID.

With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a so-called True Depth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.

When the camera system sees a person's face, it uses 30,000 unseen dotsto “map”勾画the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored(储存) in the phone.

The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks. This happens in less than a second.

Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses  or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.

Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concern  担心 . For example, will Face ID work for twins?

According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error    rating(出错率)rises. So one would need to set a password then.

Apple also emphasizes(强调)that Face ID only unlocks when you stare at it. It is

what Apple calls “attention aware察觉”.So the phone won’t unlock if you are just taking a quick look at the phone for the time. It won’t work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.

 

1. Face ID helps iPhone X users to 

A. take pictures more quickly B. make their photos more beautiful

C. unlock their cell phones quickly D. create their face models easily

2. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. the camera system B. a person's face C. iPhone X D. Face ID 3.How does the camera system of Face ID work?

A. It matches the users' faces with unseen dots stored in the system.

B. It remembers users' faces by taking their pictures.

C. It uses a map to store face models of its users for later use.


D. It creates a face model of the user and compares it with the user's face later.

4. The iPhone X users may NOT unlock their phones successfully when.

A.  they  have  changed their hairstyles B. they take a quick look at their phones

C. they use it without turning on the lights D. they wear makeup

5. What is the main idea of the story?

A. Unlocking a smart phone in three different ways.

B. Using Face ID to unlock the iPhone X.

C. Worries about the safety of using Face ID.

D. The invention of True Depth camera system.

My proudest achievement in 2017

I am going to write about a personal achievement. Perhaps no one would understand why I am proud of such an ordinary thing. This year I committed to study English everyday until it became a habit, without any excuses or delays. It was neither an easy nor a fast process. According to personal development (advice or thinking), I needed to develop this habit for three weeks and study English every single day,


regardless of the weather, my mood or any fatigue. Now I do it every day like I eat, sleep and brush my teeth. And I am proud of myself

It’s is my proudest achievement in 2017

 

1

My proudest greatest achievement after I entering the collage is learning how to love. It’s a learning which comes slowly to me and has been worked in the fires of pain and in the waters of patience.

When I was young I was a little self-centered which I didn’t notice. The people who could be my friend must be in perfect personality . Otherwise, I will be sad and mad, even break with her. As time goes on, I grow up but I don’t notice my vice in my personality until I meet a girl who does unduly in a familiar situation. As I learn and practice more and more, I can say to the one I love. I am learning to say this, whether it is in words or in my way of being with others and myself, to those I love and for whom I care. I cannot always do the right, but I am getting better at it!
