25、 might finally be able to work while youre wearing a mask.Researchers have found that facial recognition algorithms (算法) are getting better at recognizing faces in masks, according to data published on Tuesday by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Using independent testing o
26、f more than 150 separate facial recognition algorithms, the new report suggests masks may not be as big a problem for facial recognition systems as initially thought.When NIST first examined masks effect on facial recognition in July 2020, it found that algorithms werent great at identifying faces w
27、ith masks. “Face recognition can make errors, which can implicate people for crimes they havent committed,” writes the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). “It is particularly bad at recognizing African Americans and other ethnic minorities, women, and young people.” But the pandemic has given deve
28、lopers plenty of time to focus on the mask problem, and NISTs data shows that facial recognition algorithms are getting better at working with masked faces. “After the pandemic, some developers have submitted algorithms which show significantly improved accuracy and are now among the most accurate i
29、n our test,” the report reads. NISTs public ranking for facial recognition testsbears out this report. Eight different algorithms now hold false rates below 0.05 percent.Nevertheless, there remain a number of limitations to the study. NIST researchers did not employ actual images of masked faces. In
30、stead, they applied masks digitally to ensure consistency across the sample. As a result, “We were not able to get a thorough simulation (模仿) of the endless variations in color, design, shape, texture, and ways masks can be worn,” the report states. The digital mask was a blue surgical mask covering
31、 the full width of the face, but testers noted that performance varied considerably depending on how high the mask was placed on the face. 28. Recognizing masked faces with facial recognition systems used to be thought as _.A. effective B. impossibleC. challenging D.easy 29.What does the underlined
32、phrase “bear out” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Stress. B. Prove. C.Criticize.D. Oppose.30. What can be learned about the study?A. The way to wear masks may affectrecognition accuracy.B. The design of a mask makes no difference to facial recognition.C. Facial recognition failure rates were quite low at the
33、 beginning.D. The researchers adopted real surgical masks to ensure the accuracy.31.What is the authors attitude towards the study?A. NegativeB. Skeptical C. Objective D.IndifferentDAnyone who commutes(通勤)by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in fac
34、ing potential backups.Ants also commutebetween their nests and sources of food. The survival of their habitats depends on doing this efficiently.When humans commute, theres a point at which cars become dense(稠密) enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Researchers wanted to know if ants
35、 on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched, trying to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam.But it appears that never happen
36、ed. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.The researchers then took a closer look at ho
37、w the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviors can be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The a
38、nts also manage to avoid colliding(碰撞) with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely. Thats because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Indivi
39、dual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humansand more like ants.32. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Surviving.B.
40、 Commuting.C. Finding food.D.Avoiding jams.33. How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?A. Through closer observation.B. By regulating their numbers.C. By finding out the dense points.D. By controlling the widths of their path.34. How can ants avoid traffic jam accor
41、ding to the research?A.They follow a special route.B. They never slow down all the way.C. They avoid entering high-density area.D. They depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Traffic jamsB. Survival of an ant colonyC.
