21、 A China’s face-swapping app that allows users to superimpose their own likeness over characters in movies or TV shows has rapidly become one of the country’s most download apps.But it has also triggered concerns about the issue of privacy.
Released on Friday, the Zao app went viral as Chinese users pursued the chance to act out scenes from well-known movies. This is done using “deepfake” technology, which has already caused concerns elsewhere over its potential misuse.
Users provide a series of selfies in which they blink, open their mouths or assume other expressions. The app will then realistically change the person’s animated likeness onto movies, TV shows or other similar content.
But this has also resulted in privacy concerns as the app’s policy reportedly gave it “free, permanent, transferable, and re-licenseable” rights to all user-generated content.
Apart from worrying that their personal information can be disclosed, users are also concerned that the app, through facial recognition technology, can compromise their online payment accounts.
On Sunday, the app issued a statement promising to modify its privacy policy. It also assured users that the app will not result in any compromise to their payment accounts. The app has since changed its terms to ensure that it will not use headshots or videos uploaded by users other than to improve the app. It also promised to remove from its servers any content that was uploaded but subsequently deleted by users.
Zao is owned by Momo Inc, a Tinder-like Chinese dating service that is listed on the Us Nasdaq. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology spoke to the developer of the AI face-changing app on Wednesday. The Ministry’s department of network security said it demanded the company sick to relevant laws regarding the collection of personal information. Apart from calling on the company to standardize its terms of agreement it also made it clear that the company should do its utmost to ensure the protection of user data.
【1】What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.The face-changing app is becoming popular.
B.The Zao app has revealed personal information.
C.Deep fake technology is applied in a new app.
D.There’re potential worries about face-changing app.

A.Users provide smiling photos to act out scenes from famous movies.
B.The app can find likeness between users and actors in the movies.

【3】What did the app promise to modify?

23、Every delicious steak you have ever enjoyed eating started with a good cut of meat. However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging — supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag. Follow this guide for some advice.
Tenderloin (US), Fillet (UK), Eye Fillet (AUS/NZ)
A classic cut, the tenderloin comes from the strip of muscle tucked against the backbone of the animal. As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef — which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable. We say “arguably” because, while the tenderloin is supremely lean and a favorite of those who love their steak to melt in their mouth, it can also be tasteless. Filet mignon, widely referred to as the creme de la creme (精华) of all steak cuts, is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin.
Ribeye (US/ UK), Scotch fillet (AUS/NZ)
This cut, from the rib section of the animal, comes with an abundance of rich marbling. The ribeye won’t give you that same “melt-in-your-mouth” feeling, but it is still one of the tenderest cuts available. Differently, the ribeye is cooked with the bone in, while the Scotch fillet is not.
Strip (US), Sirloin (UK), Porterhouse (AUS/NZ)
Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. The best part is that because this all-rounder has a bit more chew and a bit less marbling than those cuts, it tends to be less expensive.
T-bone
Can’t decide between the tenderloin and the strip? Why not both? The T-bone is cut with strip on one side of a bone, and tenderloin on the other. With two very different textures (口感) and flavors, the T-bone gets the best of both worlds, but it can also be more difficult to cook. The meat closer to the bone is slower to cook than the rest of the steak.
【1】What makes the tenderloin the most expensive part among the steak?
A.Different textures.
B.Much flavor.
C.Rich marbling.
D.The tenderest cut.
【2】What can we learn about the steaks from the passage?
A.It’s not a piece of cake to pick a perfect cut.
B.All things considered, Ribeye is the best.
C.A good cut only means the most expensive one.
D.It usually takes little time to cook T-bone.
【3】Which of the following is not mentioned in the article concerning steak?
A.Price.
B.Packaging.
C.Cooking method.
D.Flavor.
24、As a chess coach, David Bishop is often asked the same question by his students: “Mr. Bishop, what’s your favorite chess piece?” “I get that a lot,” said Bishop, who answers that — yes— the bishop (象) is a favorite piece, after the Queen.
Bishop began playing chess at age 10 and has been addicted ever since. In 2013, Bishop retired. Then he worked as a custodian (监护人) with his friends at a local high school. A few weeks later, Bishop discovered that the school had a chess club. He asked the teacher in charge if he could help out. When that teacher retired in 2015, Bishop took over the club, and in an effort to “make it more fun”, he started a competitive team so that students interested in taking the sport more seriously could play other schools.
“It’s such a powerful game that really promotes strategy and great administration functioning,” Bishop said. “This is beyond a game; it’s critical thinking skills, which is what we want students to do out in the world. I think this is the best sport that kids can play.”
The 2019-2022 season was a particularly big one, and his students won the state finals. Jennifer Cyr, the president of the school, said Bishop has unwavering commitment to the game and to the students. “I’m so grateful for his work,” she noted. “He really inspires students to be their best.”
However, for Bishop, what is far more rewarding than the recognition, he said, is watching his students blossom into excellent players. “I love our teams, and I love seeing the progress in kids as they get older,” he said. “They also progress in their confidence and self-esteem (自尊).” Some students have gotten so good at the game, he said, that they’re “at the point where I can’t keep catching up with them. They beat me.”
【1】What caused Bishop to take over the school chess club?
A.The high school’s repeated invitations.
B.His decades of crazy enthusiasm for chess.
C.The desire to solve the students’ problems.
D.His decades of dream of becoming a coach.
【2】How did Bishop make the chess club more fun?
A.By winning series of chess competitions.
B.By performing administration functioning.
C.By shaping the students through competitions.
D.By accessing the students’ critical thinking skills.
【3】Why did Bishop think highly of chess game?
A.It was a form of social practice.
B.It could make him more confident.
C.It earned more respect for the students.
D.It was far beyond workout for the brain.
【4】How did Jennifer Cyr find Bishop’s commitment?
A.Convincing.
B.Responsive.
C.Creative.
D.Praiseworthy.
