Several security guards of residential compounds in Beijing and workers were seen shoveling snow and some

parked vehicles were covered by thick overnight snow. The first snowfall of winter arrived in Beijing early

Monday, covering the Chinese capital with a mantle (披风) of white overnight and plunging (使……下降) the city

into freezing temperatures, with even colder weather coming this week in northern China.

Snowfall reached 5.8 mm on average by early Monday, with the highest snowfall of 10.2 mm recorded in

Fangshan district, Beijing Meteorological (气象的) Service data showed. Beijing typically sees its first snow of the

season between late November and February, or even none at all. More snowfall is expected this week, with

temperatures seen further sliding to as low as -20°Celsius. The Chinese capital last saw such similarly extremely

cold weather on Jan. 7, 2021, when the temperature dropped to -19.6℃.

The cold snap (寒潮) in Beijing this week

compared with the autumn-like conditions a week ago, mirrored

the sharp swings in temperatures recently. In October, Beijing experienced one of its warmest Octobers in decades

in a year of weather extremes.

On Monday, the government warned of road icing in large parts of the city of nearly 22 million, with

authorities shutting some expressways or partially closing sections. By 10 a. m. local time, 62 out of a few hundred

flights had been cancelled at the Beijing Capital Airport. Railway authorities enforced speed limits on lines

connecting Beijing and Guangzhou in southern China, causing delays in some passenger trains. By 7 a. m. Monday,

more than 180 bus routes in Beijing had been suspended.

The official Beijing Daily reported that vegetable stocks were enough, hitting this year’s highest daily market

volume of 23,800 tons, as merchants stocked up (备货) ahead of time. Huang, a Beijing resident working in the

internet sector, said the snow in Beijing came early. “Normally, it doesn’t snow until the Spring Festival,” Huang

said, referring to the start of the Lunar New Year, which typically falls in January or February.

4. Which of the following is not used to show the seriousness of the snowfall in paragraph?

A. By listing out numbers. B. By illustrating a viewpoint.

C. By citing data from the authority. D. By making comparisons.

5. What contrast in weather conditions did Beijing experience as mentioned in the article?

A. From hot summers to mild winters.

B. From dry conditions to heavy rainfall.

C. From autumn-like conditions to a sudden coldness.

D. From constant snow to unexpectedly warm temperatures.

6. Which of the following word is close to the meaning of “enforced” in paragraph 4?

A. introduced B. obeyed C. happened D. improved

7. What positive measure did merchants in Beijing take in anticipation of the snowfall?

A. Organized community support groups. B. Increased storage of essential supplies.

C. Created emergency shelters for the homeless. D. Offered discounts and sales to boost business.

Fictional, computer-generated human faces are so convincing they can fool even trained observers. They can

be easily downloaded online and used for Internet scams(诈骗)and fake social media profiles.

Al programs called generative adversarial networks (生成对抗网络), or GANs, can learn to create fake

images that are less and less distinguishable from real images, by competing two neural networks against each

other.

Nightingale and her colleague Hany Farid at the University of California, Berkeley, asked 315 participants,

recruited on a crowdsourcing website, to say whether they could distinguish a selection of 400 fake photos from

400 photographs of real people. Each set consisted of 100 people from each of four ethnic groups: white, Black,

East Asian and South Asian.

This group had an accuracy rate of 48.2 percent—slightly worse than chance. A second group of 219

participants were given training to recognize computer-generated faces. This group had an accuracy rate of 59

percent, but this difference is negligible (可忽略的), says Nightingale.

The researchers also asked a separate group of 223 participants to rate a selection of the same faces on their

level of trustworthiness, on a scale of 1 to 7. They rated the fake faces as 8 percent more trustworthy, on average,

than the real faces—a small yet significant difference, according to Nightingale. That might be because artificial

faces look more like “average” human faces, and people are more likely to trust typical-looking faces, she says.

Looking at the extremes, the four faces rated most untrustworthy were real, whereas the three most

trustworthy faces were fake.

“We need stricter ethical guidelines and more legal frameworks in place because, inevitably, there are going
