21、Microsoft has developed a new smart phone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.

The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert(改变) them into letters, words and sentences.

For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.

“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.

“To mitigate the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”

The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.

The sticker shows four grids(方格) of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm（程序） is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.

【1】What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. ignore   B. destroy

C. increase   D. reduce

【2】The passage mainly tells us ________ .

A. The advantages of Gaze Speak over the Current eye-tracking input systems.

B. Smartphone App helps ALS suffers speak with their eyes movement.

C. The sticker plays an important role in Gaze Speak.

D. The writer is making an advertisement for Gaze Speaker.

【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards the invention of Gaze Speaker?

A. doubtful   B. negative

C. favorable   D. unclear

22、Like many couples, Sheila and David Hoffman enjoy travelling. Since 2000, they’ve often visited relatives in Australia and enjoyed holidays in many European countries including France, Germany, Italy, and Greece. And they’ve toured around America, but they haven’t once stayed in a hotel. The Hoffmans are part of a growing number of people who use their home as a way to have inexpensive holidays. So far, they’ve swapped their three-bedroom London home with people who want to stay there for anything from a week to two months.

In a home swap, you offer your house as a place to stay and anyone who’s interested gets in touch. If your dates and requirements fit, then you make a deal to exchange houses for an agreed time. The exchange can involve more than just a place to stay — some homeowners also exchange cars and others will arrange for a friend or neighbour to be on call in case of emergencies. Some exchangers will even organise restaurant bookings and trips.

Home swaps have existed in Britain on an organised basis for decades but they really took off with the arrival of the Internet. Previously, the process was long and drawn-out, involving letter exchange and expensive international calls to complete arrangements. Now, it can all be done with a few clicks. Most home-exchangers register (注册) with a specialist home-exchange company that deals with the organisation.

More people are using their homes as a way to enjoy holidays at home as well as abroad. Most of them choose to follow the trend because they are interested in how natives lead their lives. When you live in a typical home rather than a hotel, it’s almost like an exchange of lifestyles. It’s also a cheap way to travel making sure you won’t run short of money on your journey.

【1】Where do Sheila and David Hoffman live?

A．In Australia.

B．In the US.

C．In the UK.

D．In France.

【2】Which word can be used to describe some homeowners mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A．Smart.

B．Strict.

C．Humorous.

D．Thoughtful.

【3】What can we know about the home-exchange process in the past?

A．It caused many problems.

B．It saved a lot of time.

C．It was well-organised.

D．It was complicated.

【4】What is the main reason for more people swapping their homes?

A．They hope to experience life as the locals.

B．They are not used to staying in hotels.

C．They do not want to leave their houses unused.

D．They need to earn money from exchanging their homes.
