　　Big data of the human face can make a difference. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. Apple’s iPhone X has already used face recognition to unlock the home screen. Face recognition is becoming increasingly common in China, where it has been equipped at ATM and KFC restaurants. It is also used by shop owners to catch shoplifters.
　　Some universities are using face recognition technology as a means to keep track of the students’ attendance in the classrooms. Students stand in front of a screen when they walk into lecture halls. Photos taken at the screen are matched with those logged in the university’s database. It’s believed that the system is highly accurate(精确的) because it can identify students even if they change their hair or wear makeup. Students have joked that face recognition is so strict that they don’t dare to skip classes anymore. The traditional way of taking attendance is through a roll call. The new system helps to improve efficiency(效率).
　　Face recognition technology has already been used in different fields in China. Police have set up face recognition scanners at busy crossroads to catch jaywalkers, whose photos will be shown on the digital screen as a warning. In the hotels of Wuzhen attractions, face scanner-equipped gates identify tourists staying in its hotels. The data collected will then serve as Entry Pass through the town’s various attractions. Tourists do not have to pay extra entrance fee. Face recognition has also been in business use in China Alipay, for example, is using its face recognition technology to help customers at a Hangzhou KFC branch order food: The camera in the KFC will check customers’ face against the ID card photos linked to their Alipay accounts.
　　Face recognition is expected to be used in all sorts of fields. It is going to become part of your life if it isn’t already.

　　On March 28th, the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. , the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in the Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform. ”
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to the Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on“some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole(漏洞), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the Times for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network, ” he said, adding that the Times must “continue to engage with the widest possible audience”.

Ⅱ. 阅读填句
　　根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat. ” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people—especially children—not to ask too many questions. 　1　 In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.  
Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. 　2　 For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil(线圈) and a magnet(磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.  
　3　On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?  
In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 　4　 Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.  
The final—and perhaps most worrying—way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. 　5　 Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.  
A. It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure.
B. We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs.
C. Yet, it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective.
D. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.
E. However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.
F. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.
G. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明, 在决定学生在学校表现如何方面, 好奇心和智力同样重要。然而, 好奇心目前面临的最大威胁来自科技。因此, 在21世纪培养好奇心的真正关键, 或许是减少对我们这个时代技术工具的依赖。

5. 【解析】选G。上文提示“随着我们越来越多地通过社交媒体获取新闻, 算法会找出我们喜欢什么, 然后把更多的相似信息推送给我们。”再根据下文提示“因此, 在21世纪培养好奇心的真正关键, 或许是减少对我们这个时代技术工具的依赖。”承接上下文, G项That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. (这意味着我们最终会陷入自己的小泡泡里, 不再有新的想法。)切题。
