Learning peoples names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but experts suggest people should be careful while using it. The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces through smartphone cameras and facial recognition, 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 through social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously set geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendees face, the app identifies the person, displays the persons name, and links to his or her social media information. To protect Privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to use. And the apps creators say it automatically removes users data after an event. Ann Cavoukian, a expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the apps creators for these protective measures. She added, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that there may be unexpected results down the road with that information being used in another situation that might come back to bite you.The start-up project has developed the app for people who suffer from prosopagnosia, or face blindness, a condition that prevents people from recognizing people they have met. To use this app, a person first receives an image of someones face, from either the smartphones camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots or recognizes that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a users phone, according to the team behind the app. （1）Social Recall is used to _. A . take photosB . identify peopleC . organize eventsD . make friends（2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about _. A . how the app worksB . how the app was createdC . what makes the app popularD . what people can do with the app（3）SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by _. A . giving names to the photos kept in their smartphonesB . collecting information previously entered in the phoneC . providing the information of a person when they first meetD . showing the persons information when it spots a stored face（4）What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage? A . It may put peoples personal information at risk.B . It has caused many unexpected results.C . It can stop people recognizing people they have met.D . It is praised by users for its protective measures.4. （10分）阅读理解People already know a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didnt know.Cows do have best friends and feel stressed when they are separated. Scientists have found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows. When a cow is with its friends, it feels relaxed, compared with when it is alone.During breeding season, a male penguin (企鹅) will offer a small stone to a female penguin as a gift. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her partner may carry it on their feet, because some penguins dont build nests (鸟巢).Crocodiles (鳄鱼) swallow (吞) stones. Crocodiles always swallow their food instead of eating it like other animals. They swallow stones which break the food into very small pieces in their stomachs. These stones may stay in their stomachs all their lives.Elephants use plants to treat pain or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Africa who ate a kind of plant which was not part of her normal food. Four days later, she gave birth to a baby elephant. The same plant was used by the local pregnant women.根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误。（1）A cow hates making friends with other cows. （2）All the male penguins will build nests if the female penguins lay eggs. （3）Crocodiles swallow stones to help with digestion (消化). （4）Elephants eat plants only when they are hungry. （5）The passage mainly tells us some surprising facts about animals. 三、 词汇运用。 (共3题；共12分)5. （10分）根据短文内容和所给中文提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。I always go to the Center Stadium to watch football matches with my _(同班同学).
