Everyone needs a roof over their heads.It could be an apartment，a home in the woods，or a converted school bus.
For Julie Atkins，turning old school buses into tiny homes for homeless people is a great solution.She came up with the idea when she was a journalist in Ashland，Oregon and began writing stories of homeless people.She spent two years living alongside homeless people in Denver，Colorado. "They want to have their own home that's safe and mobile，" Atkins said.
Then she came across many families living in old school buses.She met a family with seven children in an old school bus. "It was in a mess，" said Atkins.There was no toilet，shower or kitchen inside."
That's when the idea of Vehicles for Change was born.Atkins thought that the buses have 240 square feet of space and they are retired from schools when they are only 12 years old，so they are in good shape.You could add electricity，a kitchen，as well as a bathroom to the bus.
"This is a project that I really think can have an impact，" said Alex Daniell，who saw what Atkins was doing and offered to help.Now he is working on designing and building new buses.The buses are donated by local schools.
One of the families that just moved into their own home is the Floods.The family heard about Vehicles for Change，applied for a home and moved in on Thanksgiving Day of 2018.The bus changed their life.They not only lived happily in their own home，but also found better jobs.
It becomes popular among homeless people now.They hope to build more tiny homes in other communities around the country.To some people，it is just a school bus，but to the families who are living in them，it is home.
（1）Why did Atkins want to build tiny homes for the homeless？ （no more than 15 words） Because she want to help the homeless people.Because she want to help the homeless people.
（2）What is Vehicles for Change according to the text？ （no more than 15 words） Vehicles for Change is a project that can provide new buses for people in need.Vehicles for Change is a project that can provide new buses for people in need.
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ （no more than 10 words） No longer used in schools.No longer used in schools.
（4）What is Alex Daniell responsible for while helping Atkins？ （no more than 10 words） Alex Daniell is responsible for designing and building new buses.Alex Daniell is responsible for designing and building new buses.
（5）What do you think of Vehicles for Change？Please explain.（no more than 20 words） I think it's very useful because it can help a lot of people and it's also very environmentally friendly.I think it's very useful because it can help a lot of people and it's also very environmentally friendly.

3．Human memory is notoriously （眾所周知地） unreliable.Even people with the sharpest facial recognition skills can only remember so much.
It's tough to quantify how good a person is （1）remembering.No one really knows how many different faces someone can recall，for example，but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands – based on the number of acquaintances a person （2）have.
Machines aren't limited this way.Give the right computer a massive database of faces，and it can process what it sees – then recognize a face it （3）（tell） to find – with remarkable speed and precision.This skill is （4）supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21st century.It is also what makes contemporary surveillance （監(jiān)控） systems so scary.
The thing is，machines sill have limitations when it comes to facial recognition.And scientists are only just beginning to understand what those constraints are. （5）（figure） out how computers are struggling，researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces – they call it MegaFace – and （6）（test） a variety of facial-recognition algorithms（算法） as they scales up in complexity.The idea was to test the machines on a database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 7，000 different people – and not just a large database （7）（feature） a relatively small number of different faces，more consistent with what's been used in other research.
As the databases grew，machine accuracy dipped across the board.Algorithms （8）were right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13，000-image database，for example，were accurate about 70% of the time when （9）（face） with 1 million images.That's still pretty good，says one of the researchers，Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman. "Much better than we expected，" she said，
Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike –either doppelgangers （長相極相似的人），whom the machine would have trouble （10）（identify） as two separate people，or the same person who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting，whom the machine would incorrectly view as separate people.發(fā)布：2024/12/30 1:0:8組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5
