As missing children age, they outgrow their last known photographs, which makes finding them tough. Now AI(Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.

Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as age-related changes to adult faces are more predictable and so easier to make.

With children, these aged images(图像) don’t tend to resemble the older child, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult. “Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images,” says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University.

Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm(算法) to do this for them. They created a face-recognition algorithm on data sets, which contains images of nearly 1000 children between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.

The AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier80 percent of the time.

With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 percent accurate a recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which stays at 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.

Deb’s next goal is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking. 32. What is suggested in Para.1?

A. The old photos are hard to read. B. Found children change greatly

C. Children’s faces are unpredictable. D. Photos of children are easy to match.do the research? 33. Why do Ded’s team do the research? A. To prove the advantages of AI function B. To help the police change their software C. To build a data base to find the missing children. D. To improve the accuracy of children’s face-recognition.

34. What does the underlined word “trafficking” in the last paragraph mean? A. Image matching B. Comparing C. Recognizing. D. Illegal trade. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Al could match missing kids to old photos. B. Age-related changes to faces are predictable. C. A face-recognition algorithm has been created. D. A new software is improved to find missing kids. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

Nowadays in the West, millions of people keep dogs as pets. People food them, take them on holidays 70 look after them. In return, dogs are loyal(忠诚)in a way that friends sometimes aren’t. This loyalty is the origin of the English saying, “A dog is man’s best friend.”

What impressed me most was the interviews carrying out in the street. In the beginning, I wasn’t used to talk to strangers. But with my teammates encouragement, I was able to communicate smooth with them. Then we were noticed most of the answers we got were brief.
