（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）My mother always told us there is no use crying over spilled milk. That means you should not get angry when something bad happens and cannot be changed. She also told us you have to break some eggs to make an omelet（煎蛋卷）. This means you have to do what is necessary to move forward.
My mother believed you are what you eat. A good diet is important for good health. She would always give us healthy food. She liked serving us meat and potatoes for dinner.

Navigation(导航)is an important ability for animals to find food and living places. Researchers in Israel have performed an experiment and found that goldfish are able to navigate on land after receiving around 10 driving lessons.
The experiment was led by a research team at the Ben-Gurion University. It was made to see whether goldfish could find their way in a very different environment.
Researchers developed a robotic car that could drive forward, backward, and from side to side. They called the car a FOV — Fish Operated Vehicle(鱼驱动车). A goldfish was placed inside a water box on the FOV. Using a set of wheels with a camera system, the FOV recorded the fish’s movements and swimming directions, and then moved in the same direction.
The scientists worked with six different goldfish. They placed the car in a small room with a pink target(目标)on one side. The fish would get food when the car touched the target. After a few days of training, the fish navigated to the target. At first, it took them about half an hour to drive to the target. But by the end of the experiment, they were able to complete the same task in less than a minute. Shachar Given, one of the researchers said, “As anyone who has tried to learn how to ride a bike or how to drive a car knows, it is challenging at first.”
Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive to the target, but also they weren’t fooled by false targets of other colors. They were also able to get free when the car hit a wall.
Although the fish may not have realized they were moving on land, these results show that a fish has the ability to navigate outside its natural environment of water. It can enrich scientific knowledge of animals’ navigation skills.
8．The researchers perform the goldfish experiment to see if goldfish could ________.
A．find food and living places B．ride a bike or drive a car like humans
C．live in the land’s navigating system D．navigate in a different environment
9．What do we know about the FOV?
A．It was placed inside a water box. B．It could control the fish’s directions.
C．It could follow the fish’s movements. D．It was driven by a camera system.
10．The fish would get food as long as the car ________.
A．avoided hitting a wall B．touched the pink target
C．moved in the small room freely D．touched the target of other colors
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Scientists Teach Goldfish to Drive a Car on Land, B．Scientists Offer Goldfish Food and Lessons.
C．Scientists Invent an Animal Navigation System. D．Scientists Put a Robotic Car to Good Use.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）I took a job at a vet（兽医）clinic almost fifty years ago. As a warm-hearted animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn’t take to help with any wounded animals. I couldn’t bear to see any animal in pain.
At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a seriously injured Doberman pinscher puppy（杜宾幼犬）in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.
The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal’s body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, sewing him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine（脊椎）. If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.
That day changed my life forever. I began to act as the vet’s assistant in all medical things. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. I remember moving his tiny legs to try to stop his muscles from weakening.
Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.
Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic’s crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and dashed toward me. I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!
Today I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.
12．Which was the possible position the author took at the clinic at first?
A．A medical assistant. B．A regular receptionist （接待员）.
C．A warm-hearted volunteer. D．A professional vet.
13．How did the author help the dog?
A．She sewed his wounds. B．She helped him with physical therapy.
C．She taught him to walk. D．She helped him move his spine.
14．What can we infer about the dog?
A．He liked to kiss people’s faces. B．He got well immediately.
C．He struggled to be on his feet. D．He got fierce（狂暴的）afterwards.
15．What is the best title of this passage?
A．A lucky dog B．A loving vet C．A grateful patient D．A life-changing story

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）Zhong Fangrong could have chosen any college major she wanted. This girl from Hunan got one of the highest gaokao scores in the country this year. But she chose archaeology(考古), one of the least popular majors in China. Her choice has led to heated discussion online.
Some people think Zhong made a poor choice. They say she’ll have a hard time finding a job. But others have supported her, saying that people should not choose their majors based only on practical reasons.
The most popular majors nowadays seem to be practical ones—that is, majors that will lead to lots of high-paying jobs. Majoring in arts or humanities seems to be opposite.
Most American people think that Asian and Jewish parents like to make their kids become doctors and lawyers, as these jobs earn a lot of money. However, everyone has a different reason for picking a major. I, for instance, chose to study at the same university that my favorite English teacher studied at.
It is true that some majors, such as philosophy(哲学) and poetry, are seen as unpractical in the US. But some students pick them anyway. In fact, some students try two or even three different majors until they find the right fit.
Journalism(新闻学) was my choice in the end. Sometimes I wonder how my life might have turned out if I’d chosen differently. But so far, it seems like it was the right choice.
19．What are people discussing online about Zhong?
A．Which college she should choose. B．How she got a high gaokao score.
C．Why she had trouble finding a job. D．Whether she should study archaeology.
20．According to the passage, most people think that unpractical majors ________.
A．are more difficult to learn B．make it easier to find jobs
C．are becoming popular in China D．make people earn less money
21．From Paragraphs 4 and 5, we can infer ________.
A．Asian students prefer to study humanities

C．Students choose their majors based on different reasons
D．Students choose their majors based on their parents’ ideas
22．What’s the writer’s opinion on picking a major?
A．It’s important to take advice from parents.
B．It’s a good idea to turn to teachers for help.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）Every year on March 22, World Water Day focuses people’s attention on the importance of water across the world. In 2018, the theme is “Nature for Water”.
This year’s theme, “Nature for Water”, focuses on how nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used to help fix the water problems facing many people and ecosystems (生态系统) at the present time. Nature-based solutions are ways of managing plants, soils and wetlands, including rivers and lakes, to help with the management of water availability and quality. They will not solve the problem of drought (干旱) but should provide effective ways for improving water quality and increasing water supplies.
Anything that includes positively altering nature is an NBS.
●Bringing back forests, grasslands and natural wetlands
By bringing back natural ecosystems, we can help to rebalance water levels around the world, benefitting both humans and ecosystems;
●Connecting rivers to floodplains again
If properly managed, natural floodplains can provide help to wildlife, fish and people by giving them both space and clean water;
●Building sand dams
In very dry areas, such as Zimbabwe, sand dams are used to increase the amount of water that can be stored, meaning that farmers can grow more crops and people can have enough drinking water;
●Landscape restoration
Excessive logging (过度砍伐) in Alwar, India, has caused extremely serious droughts. The government has focused on the regeneration of forests and soils, which has not only helped the rivers to refill but also wildlife, such as antelopes and leopards, to return to the area.
23．What can we learn about the nature-based solutions?
A．They will successfully solve the problem of drought.
B．They make plants, soils and wetlands totally different.
C．They can improve water quality and increase water supplies.
D．They can help us learn why people in history faced water problems.
24．The underlined word “altering” is closest in meaning to “________”.
A．changing B．creating C．increasing D．breaking
25．Why is it important to bring back natural ecosystems?
A．Because they give space to both wildlife and fish.
B．Because they help increase water levels around the world.
C．Because they can supply clean water to both animals and humans.
D．Because they help bring water levels around the Earth back into balance.
26．This article is most likely a(n) ________.

Now, the Law of the Jungle says that if there is a disagreement about the right of a man’s cub (幼崽) to be part of the Pack (兽群), he must be spoken for by at least two members of the Pack who are not his father and mother.
“Who speaks for this man’s cub?” asked the leader of the wolf Pack Akela. There was no answer. Mother Wolf got ready for a fight. Her last fight.
There is only one non-wolf allowed at the Pack Council, a sleepy brown bear called Baloo. Baloo teaches the wolf cubs the Law of the Jungle. He is accepted by the wolves because he eats only nuts and roots and honey. Now Baloo stood up on his hindquarters (后腿) and shouted.
“I speak for the man’s cub. Let him run with the Pack, and become part of the Pack with the others. I can teach him the Law of the Jungle.”
“We need another one,” said Akela. “Baloo speaks for the man’s cub, and he is the teacher of our young cubs. Who speaks besides Baloo?”
A black shadow came into the circle. It was Bagheera the Black Panther. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody wanted to make him angry.

Mowgli, the man’s cub, was still very interested in the stones, and he did not notice when the wolves came and looked at him one by one. At last they all came down the hill for the dead bull, and only Akela, Bagheera, Baloo, and Mowgli’s wolf family were left. The tiger Shere Khan roared all night. He was angry because the wolves accepted Mowgli in the Pack.
“It was a good decision,” said Akela. “Men and their cubs are very wise. He may be a help in time.”
“Yes, a help in time of need; for no one can hope to lead the Pack forever,” said Bagheera.

②Chinese dragons, which appeared eight thousand years ago, are usually considered to be kind. People say that they bring strength, peace, good luck, and health.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）David, a policeman, came to a small wooden house about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards, an armed and dangerous killer. Through a broken window, he saw an old man watching him closely. When he stepped into the house, he found the old man was holding a gun in his hand.
“Government man, aren’t you?” said the old man.
“Yes,” David replied with a friendly smile. “You must be a Pappy Richards.”
“Sure. I’m Cal’s pa. And you’re not going to get him.” The gun pointed at David.
David looked around the house and didn’t see any sign of Cal. “I’ve been to do it,” he said. “But I can see he isn’t here today. I guess I’ll have to come again.” Just the he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall. “Who plays the violin?” he asked.
For a moment there was silence. In fact, Cal’s pa played the violin best in the area, but he did not answer, with his gun still pointing at David.
David crossed the room to the instrument and felt sweat (汗) on his forehead, but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor. He began to play the violin, one tune (曲子) after another. He was playing better than he had ever played in his life.
The old man stood there, attracted. The hatred (仇恨) in his eyes was giving way to a look of wonder. The gun was now pointed towards the floor. He began to beat time, tapping one foot on the dirt floor. When the final notes of the tune died away, the old man placed the gun in a corner.
“Well, stranger,” the old man said,“ you play the violin excellently. Maybe you’ll stay for dinner and play some more for me.”
After they had eaten, they sat in the spring sunshine outside the house. They talked about violin tunes. Not a word was said about Cal Richards.
About two hours later, David stood up and said, “Sorry! I must be getting back to the town.”
The old man sat, deep in thought. At last, he said, “I like the way you talk, and I like the way you play the violin. I guess you’re a good guy.” He paused as if it were hard to go on. Then, he said in a thick voice, “I—well, I’ll have a talk with Cal. I think he might give himself up tomorrow. You should be at the police station at noon.”

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）Does the world have a shortage of sand? At first, that might sound like a strange question. After all, sand covers beaches and deserts across the world.
In the building field alone, 40-50 billion tonnes of sand is used around the world every year. This is because concrete (混凝土) is usually made up of about 25% sand. Many of us don’t realize that sand is also used for things like smartphones, TV screens, solar panels and other electric items.
The problem is that most desert or beach sand is unsuitable. Desert sand is too smooth and beach sand has too much salt in it. This means that sand is usually got from rivers. However, it has caused terrible environmental damage. ________.
To try to reduce the need for sand, a growing number of researchers are turning to technology and new ways. These include Dr John Orr at Cambridge University. “We found that the plastic can replace 10% of the sand in concrete and it has the same strength and longevity.” says Dr John Orr. “That saves a huge amount of sand and helps to reduce a vast amount of plastic waste.” At the same time, other research is being done into using other waste materials in concrete to replace sand, such as old car tyres or glass.
Dr Orr points out that changes in building design is a more viable (可行的) long-term solution. “They use too much concrete. This is a much bigger problem. There are a lot of good things happening to building design and manufacture,” he says, “but nothing important is really happening—really tiny and very experimental.”
It will require efforts from individuals (个人), governments and international organizations to reduce global needs for sand. Here is an example of the actin everyone can take. A 10% reduction in the number of cars on the road means 10% fewer houses with garage and driveways that need to be built. That is millions of tonnes of concrete every year.
Sand is really just a symptom of a larger problem. We should be acting to deal with overconsumption of natural resources. A lot of these problems are closely connected and the solutions have to be as well.
42．According to the passage, what is sand mainly used for?
A．The building field. B．Industry.
C．The electric items. D．Agriculture.
43．Which of the following is suitable for the blank in Paragragh 3?
A．So sand is becoming more and more expensive at present.
B．In a word, a lot of scientists are trying to improve our environment.
C．Therefore, some countries don’t have enough desert or beach sand.
D．As a result, many countries have introduced sand bans(禁令) in recent years.
44．Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word overconsumption?
A．using too much B．protection C．waste D．discovery
45．Which of the following statement is true?
A．Using too much sand leads to using up all the planets’ resources.
B．Dr John Orr expects changes in building design using less concrete.
C．Research has found that waste materials like glass can replace sand.
D．Dr John Orr has found plastic waste can replace 10% of the concrete.

③Our eyes are sight organs. The dark center of the eye is the pupil (瞳孔). In bright light, the pupil grows smaller so that less light can get in. In the dark, the pupil grows bigger to let in more light. Behind the pupil is the lens (透镜), which bends the light and focuses it on the retina (视网膜). There, special cells (细胞) send the image to the brain.
④Odors (气味) come from tiny particles (颗粒) that travel through the air, Nerve (神经) endings in our noses sense these particles, and the olfactory (嗅觉的) nerves send the information to the brain. This is how we smell a plate of freshly baked cookies.
⑤We taste things with our tongues (舌头). Our tongues have special groups of cells called taste buds (味酱). The front of the tongue tastes sweet things, and the sides taste salty and sour things. The back of the tongue tastes bitter things. Our taste buds need saliva (唾液) to work. The more we chew and mix saliva with the food, the better we taste it.
⑥Our ears are shaped like cups to pick up sound waves (波). Inside the ear, a canal (管、道) directs the sound to the eardrum (耳膜). The sound waves vibrate the eardrum. Three small bones behind the eardrum pass the vibrations on to the inner ear. There, they are picked by the auditory, or hearing nerve and carried to the brain.
⑦We use our sense of touch to feel our surroundings. Nerve endings in the skin send signals to the brain. We can feel temperature, roughness and wetness. We can feel different shapes and we can feel pain.
⑧Besides the five basic senses, there are as many as fifteen other senses. We have sense organs deep inside our bodies that sense things such as our weight and body position. We have a sense of balance. We sense when we are hungry, thirsty or tired.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）Can you cook? If so, what are your specialty dishes?
For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future.They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry（家禽）and repair home appliances（家电）under new requirements for labor（劳动）education.
The Ministry of Education（MOE）recently published a new curriculum standard（课程标准）for labor education. Starting from the 2022 fall semester（学期） , students in primary and middle schools will take courses on labor skills at least once a week.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010.We were in the economic crisis（经济危机）. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t stop me. I googled the measurements（量度） for a keyboard, drew the keys on piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and play them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. He passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt stressed. To my amazement I was offered a place.
At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
Surprisingly I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano—what we mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works.

BrianaTherapist’s advice: If you do nothing, then nothing will happen. But if you do something, then something might happen.
Briana’s thoughts: Doing nothing leads to nothing and I have to brat my depression(抑郁) by doing something. The something could be only taking a walk anywhere you like or mindlessly watching TV at home. To beat a mental illness, you always have to be doing something even when you feel like doing nothing at all. When you form a habit of doing something, you have managed to make it. You’ll feel better and better.
SofiaTherapist’s advice: You want to be perfect in everything and the reality is that you can’t. So whenever facing a task, ask yourself how much you’re willing to give and how much is healthy for you to give.
Sofia’s thoughts: I’m a perfectionist, so I want everything to be the best, and am pretty demanding of myself and I don’t want to rest until it’s just how I want. That is totally exhausting. Sometimes I want to be the best student but I can’t, so I lower my expectations according to my mental health, and what I know is best for me.
EvelynTherapist’s advice: Know yourself and change your perspective(视角). Then everything else will fall into place.
Evelyn’s thoughts: I would make situations out of nothing, speak without thinking twice and have moments when I would be screaming to get my point across. But now I realize that it’s my mindset that has to change and my overall outlook(人生观) on my natural abilities to succeed. So knowing myself and others properly and saying or doing something practically help me a lot. It all depends on my thoughts. Changing myself is helping myself.
VictoriaTherapist’s advice: It’s appropriate(合情合理的) to say “NO”.
Victoria’s thoughts: As an avid people please, I am often consumed and anxious about others’ opinions of me. This causes me to stretch myself thin—to my mental and physical breaking point. I felt that I couldn’t say no to anything without a good reason. Sometimes it’s beyond my ability to do something, but I don’t know how to refuse. My therapist told me that my time is a resource that I can choose to give to others or not. And I don’t owe anyone an explanation.
61．Who wanted to do everything perfectly?
A．Briana B．Sofia C．Evelyn D．Victoria
62．From the information above, we can infer(推断) that ________.

（2021·江苏南通·南通市通州区育才中学校考二模）Celebrating Western holidays, following K-pop bands and going abroad to study... Many young people are thought to be not as patriotic (爱国的) as their parents or grandparents.
But data has shown that young Chinese people have proved a growing sense of national pride and patriotism in recent years.
According to the website of the Communist Youth League of China, a central organization representing young people, the organization has more than 15.7 million followers on Sina Weibo. Each post related to topics such as national unity, patriotism and the country’s development has received thousands of comments (评论) and “likes”。
On March 5, 2021, the league wrote a post celebrating the 123rd birthday of China’s first premier, Zhou Enlai, with thousands of young internet users leaving comments expressing how lucky and happy they felt to be living in the country.
One user, “Xu Baobao”, posted: “We’ll contribute our young energy to national rejuvenation(复兴) .”Another wrote, “May we use our youth to protect China.”
Young people not only expressed their patriotism in words, but also through action.
In 2019, when riots related to an extradition bill (修例风波) broke out in Hong Kong, an online community known as Di Bar, covering young Chinese living around the world, started an campaign(活动) to explain the event to a global audience and to express support for the city’s police on digital platforms.

Laurence Zhang, 25, a Chinese mainland graduate from Hong Kong Baptist University who joined the campaign, said the experience gave him a greater understanding of the country’s developing power. He added that he felt grateful to live during such times.
Chinese youths’ patriotism may actually be stronger than ever, and with good reason. Guo Yuanyuan, associate dean (副院长) of the School of Culture and Communication at Capital University of Economics and Business, said, “The great material improvement can give young people more room for spiritual life.”
“Our older generations experienced a very difficult time, and before reform and opening-up, the economy(经济) was far behind those in the West.

（2021·江苏南通·南通市通州区育才中学校考二模）Qiu Jinwei, a tourist from Wuhan, Hubei province, drove to Xiangyang after watching the film Hi, Mom on February 12. He and his family took photos at the chemical products factory where the movie was shot where all the buildings and decorations were kept in the style of 1980s China.
“I grew up in a factory like this, and all the scenes looked so familiar,” Qin wrote on WeChat.
Those scenes included red brick houses, alongside stores where customers had to shop with ration coupons because supplies were limited.
Qiu is one of the thousands of tourists who made a visit to Xiangyang after seeing the film and the film led its director Jia Ling to becoming the female director with the biggest box office success in Chinese film history.
In the movie, high school student Jia Xiaoling, and her mother, Li Huanying, are hit by a truck and the mother is terribly injured. While in the hospital, Jia mysteriously travels to 1981 when Li was in her 20s. They quickly become close friends.
Jia makes Li happy by making her the first worker in the factory to be able to buy a television and also wants to help her mom win a big volleyball match.
The daughter’s own fate(命运) is endangered as she encourages her mother to marry the son of the factory’s manager instead of Jia’s father. But her plans repeatedly go awry. While drunk, Jia says she feels useless for not being able to make big money and make her mother proud. But Li said her greatest desire was that her future daughter would be “healthy and happy”.
The film is also a tribute(致敬) to the mother of the director, who died in an accident. Netizens said that the family drama has the ability to “have your tears soak your face mask”.
Its critical rating as a film is as high as 9.5 out of 10 on ticketing services platform Maoyan, 9.3 on Alibaba’s mobile ticketing app Taopiaopiao and 8.2 from review platform Douban.
A manager of a grocery store told The Paper that few people had visited before, but after the film was on, the store received about 1,000 visits a day.
The crowd was so large on Tuesday and Wednesday that a traffic jam made the police come and keep them in order, local authorities said.
During the Spring Festival holiday from February 11 to Wednesday, Xiangyang welcomed 837,600 tourist visits and the income was over 154 million yuan, according to the city’s publicity department.
Hubei Weidong Holding Group and 603 Cultural and Creative Park, two of the shooting locations for the movie, have received more than 30,000 tourist visits so far since the film opened over the long holiday.
As an old industrial base, Xiangyang has many factories producing pharmaceuticals, machinery and aerospace equipment. The city will further promote industrial tourism by developing industrial heritage(传统)and factory tours with more participation from local companies, the department said.

（2021·江苏南通·南通市通州区育才中学校考二模）China has made efforts to ensure data security(保证数据安全) in facial recognition(人脸识别) as the technology has raised increasing worry over users’ personal information leakage (泄露) while being more and more widely used in Chinese people’s life and work, including unlocking mobile phones, verifying identity(身份验证) , and clocking in.
Recently, some people complained that some estate(地产) businesses installed(安装) cameras that support facial recognition at their sales offices to secretly take photos and store the facial features of buyers without permission.
According to a survey report, more than 90 percent of the respondents(受访者) have used facial recognition systems, and over 60 percent of them believe that the technology seems to become overused and often faces problems such as forced use and illegal collection of users’ information.
Experts pointed out that some people are against facial recognition because in the era of the Internet, they think it more important to protect their personal data, and unlike other body information, facial features can be more easily collected before people realize it.
Besides, unlike other personal data that can be easily changed, such as user name, mobile phone number and e-mail address, facial information is unique and can’t be changed. Once their face data is collected by companies, there’s no way people can know if these companies will keep it safe and prevent illegal(非法的) use of the data, explained experts.
Therefore, it is important to use facial recognition systems properly and store safely people’s face data with their permission.
In fact, facial recognition has played a positive role in fields like public service. During the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic, contactless facial recognition devices, which can accurately and efficiently identify people’s faces and take their temperature, have been widely used in shopping malls, restaurants and office buildings, actively contributing to the fight of the virus.
With the development of facial recognition technology, some devices can effectively identify people even with their facial masks on. In a huge face database with 300,000 images, such devices can have an accuracy rate (准确率) of as much as 90 percent in identifying people with their masks on, suggested a research report by many companies and organizations in December 2020.
Obviously, it is unwise to neglect (忽略) the advantages of facial recognition and simply give up the technology.
To ensure data security, the National People’s Congress of China issued(发布) a draft law on personal information protection in October 2020, formulating provisions(制定条文) on the installation of facial recognition equipments in public places.
①
Experts believe that as the improvement of the laws, the application(应用) of facial recognition technology is expected to be brought under good control, and continue to play an active role if people’s personal data are kept safe.
72．Which column (栏目) of the newspaper is this article from?
A．Art and literature. B．Language and culture.
C．Travel and business. D．Science and technology.
73．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A．Some estate businesses installed cameras without permission.
B．Almost all the respondents believe the technology overused.
C．Facial information can be easily collected but can’t be changed.
D．Contactless facial recognition devices helped a lot all the time.
74．The missing part ① probably tells us something about ________.
A．some examples about protecting our personal information
B．some details about the law on personal information protection
C．how to install facial recognition equipments in public places
D．when and where we can install facial recognition equipments

C．He suggests that we had better not use it. D．He believes it can play an important role.
