高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Is that person really glad to see me? Or is he just being polite? Some people struggle to tell an artificial smile from a truly happy-one. And computers have found this task even more difficult. Recently, researchers have trained a program to detect when a smile is genuine(真诚的).

Visual computing researchers at the University of Bradford in the U. K. started with a software for analyzing a changing facial expression. This program can examine a video clip of a human head and identify(确认) specific details around the eyes, cheeks and mouth. Then the program tracks the details relative to each other as the face smiles.

Next，the scientists had their program evaluate(评估)two sets of video clips. In one subjects performed posed smiles. In the other, they watched a film that inspired genuine displays of emotion. The program calculated the differences among the subjects’ faces during the two clips. And it turns out that one's mouth, cheeks and eyes move differently when pretending to smile.

In particular, the muscles around the eyes shift 10 percent more for a real smile than they do for a fake one. These results are in the journal Advanced Engineering Informatics. "A genuine smile is indeed in the eyes. The computer aids analysis of the exact weight distribution of human smiles across the face.” Hassan Ugail and Ahmad Al-dahoud say.

The researchers suggest their work could improve a computer's ability to analyze facial expressions and thus to interact more smoothly with humans. But their real accomplishment is in proving Tyra Banks right: "You have to smile with your eyes."

1.What's the purpose of the program?

A.To tell different smiles. B.To detect human heads.

C.To examine human faces. D.To record facial expressions.

2.What did the researchers do in the program?

A.They performed posed smiles. B.They analyzed different video clips.

C.They improved a computer's ability. D.They evaluated a very special software.

3.What result have the researchers found from the program?

A.Smiling with eyes is the most important.

B.Eyes reflect whether a smile is real or not.

C.Mouth，cheeks and eyes always move the same.

D.Muscles move more frequently when people do a faking smile,

4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Entertainment. B.Health.

C.Inventions. D.Science.

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beat by climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.

Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.

But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above steaming. Hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you are near the active summit; the McKenney Cone(火山锥).

Many tours are timed so when you arrive at the cone of the volcano there is plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down .

71. What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To attract tourists to Pacaya.         B. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.

C. To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.  D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.

72. Antigua is a city      .

A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals  B. where the daring Pacaya tour starts

C. that gives a close-up view of Paraya    D. that is famous for its tour companies

73. Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will     .

A. walk directly to the active summit

B. hear the continuous loud screams from above

C. make greater efforts than to other summits

D. see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions

74. Many tours are timed for people to      .

A. get down the mountain in time when night falls

B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone

C. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky

D. appreciate the scenery of the 2560-metre-high mountain
