Now AI(Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as age­related changes of adult faces are more predictable and so easier to make.With children, these aged images(圖像) don't tend to resemble the older children, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult. “Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images，” says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University.Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm(算法) to do this for them. They created a face­recognition algorithm on data sets, which contain images of nearly 1,000 children between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier 80 percent of the time.With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 percent accurate at recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which stays at 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.Deb's next goal is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking. 語篇導讀本文主要介紹了人工智能能夠確認失蹤兒童的身份。4What is suggested in Para.1?AThe old photos are hard to read. BFound children change greatly.CChildren's faces are unpredictable.DPhotos of children are easy to match.解析 B推理判斷題。根據第一段第一句可知，隨著失蹤孩子年齡的增長，他們的長相和舊照片上的樣子非常不同，即被找到的孩子變化很大，故選B項。5Why does Deb's team do the research?ATo prove the advantages of AI function.BTo help the police change their software.CTo build a database to find the missing children.DTo improve the accuracy of children's face­recognition.解析 D推理判斷題。根據第三段中Deb所說的話和第四段第一句和第六段最后一句可知，Deb團隊做研究的目的是提高兒童面部識別的準確性，故選D項。6What does the underlined word “trafficking” in the last paragraph mean?AImage matching. BComparing.CRecognizing. DIllegal trade.解析 D詞義猜測題。根據文中出現的missing children和found children以及畫線詞前的fight可以推知，畫線詞在此處指的是非法販賣，故選D項。7What is the main idea of the text?AAI could match missing kids to old photos.BAge­related changes of faces are predictable.CA face­recognition algorithm has been created.DA new software is improved to find missing kids.解析 A主旨大意題。本文的中心句為Now AI(Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos，故選A項(人工智能能夠把失蹤的孩子和舊照片匹配起來)。C課標話題人與自我·職業(yè)規(guī)劃與創(chuàng)業(yè)意識體裁說明文詞數 323難度 Would you like to be an actor? But isn't it the right age or physical type for the part？Don't give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice­acting.Twenty­year­old Rickey Collins brought Tucker Foley to life in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice­over actor, someone we hear but don't see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmothera manager and acting coachhelped him develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.Voice­over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice­over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey received his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he taped each episode(一集). He wrote helpful notes on the scripts to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind，” said Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sounds interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!語篇導讀本文介紹了配音演員的工作。8What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?ARickey drew the character.BRickey named Tucker Foley.CRickey made the character seem real.DRickey decided the future of Tucker Foley.解析 C句義理解題。bringto life意為“使復活；使栩栩如生”。根據語境可知，本句指在動畫片幻影丹尼中Rickey Collins把人物形象Tucker Foley演繹得栩栩如生，故選C項。9From the passage we can infer that _.Ait's very complex to become a cartoon film voice­over actorBRickey has been involved in acting most of his lifeCRickey's mother helped him a lot with actingDmany people have nice voices解析 B推理判斷題。根據第二段可以推斷，Rickey的生活大部分都與表演有關，故選B項。10What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?AA voice­over actor works very hard.BBeing a voice­over actor needs talents.CBeing a voice­over actor requires skills.DVoice­over actors have more techniques than other actors.解析 C主旨大意題。根據第四段第一、二句可知，本段主要講配音演員需要掌握一定的表演和發(fā)聲技巧，故選C項。11The information in this article would be most valuable to people _.Awho want to build a career around their voicesBwho need to develop their stage­acting skillsCwho want to understand scriptwritingDwho need to practice voice exercises解析 A推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后一句可知，本文提供的信息對那些有志于當配音演員的人來說很有價值，故選A項。D課標話題人與社會·文化娛樂與傳媒體裁應用文詞數 349難度 Disneyland Park at Disneyland ParisMarne­laVallee, FranceIt opened on April 12, 1992.
