Researchers from Peking University created a new tool called ThermoFace. Different from older ways to look at one's body temperature, it looks at different parts of the face to check people's age and health.
The face has many blood vessels（血管）. With their help, ThermoFace can find “hot” and “cool” areas in the face that change with age and illness. For example, as people become older, the temperature of their nose goes down faster than other parts of their face. If someone's nose is warmer, it means he has a younger age. However, the area around the eyes usually gets hotter as people get older. Scientists also find that people with high blood pressure（血压）have warmer cheeks. With ThermoFace, doctors can notice people's illness earlier. They can do more tests and give advice.
Can ThermoFace work perfectly?
Will ThermoFace work the same for everyone? We still don't know. Other factors, like exercise and eating ice cream, can change the temperature of your face. The tool can't tell us why something happened, but it can show doctors that there might be a problem.
ThermoFace is helpful for research, but we still need to find out if it can be used in real life to help doctors.
() 6. What can ThermoFace mainly do?
A. It can tell someone's name.

答案
6.B 7.A 8.A 9.C 10.D
解析
【分析】本题为英语阅读理解题，需结合文章内容逐一分析各小题：第6题考查工具功能，需定位文章中关于ThermoFace作用的描述；第7题考查段落逻辑衔接，需分析上下文内容确定开头句；第8题考查图表理解，需匹配文章中眼睛和鼻子温度随年龄变化的规律；第9题考查词义猜测，需结合举例推断单词含义；第10题考查作者态度，需定位文章结尾相关表述。
【解析】
6. 根据第一段“it looks at different parts of the face to check people's age and health”可知，ThermoFace主要用于检查人的健康，故选B。
7. 第一段介绍了ThermoFace的功能，第二段开始具体说明其工作原理，因此开头句应引出工作方式，A选项“How does ThermoFace work?”符合逻辑，故选A。
8. 文章提到“the temperature of their nose goes down faster than other parts... the area around the eyes usually gets hotter as people get older”，即鼻子温度随年龄下降，眼睛周围温度随年龄上升，对应图A（实线代表眼睛温度上升，虚线代表鼻子温度下降），故选A。
9. 划线词“factors”后举例“exercise and eating ice cream”，这些是影响面部温度的因素，因此“factors”意为“因素”，故选C。
10. 根据最后一段“we still need to find out if it can be used in real life”可知，作者不确定ThermoFace在现实生活中的应用，故选D。
【答案】6.B 7.A 8.A 9.C 10.D
【知识点】英语阅读理解；细节理解；词义猜测
【点评】本文围绕新型科技工具ThermoFace展开，题目设置涵盖细节查找、逻辑衔接、图表理解、词义猜测及作者态度判断，考查学生的信息提取与分析能力，整体难度适中。
【难度系数】0.6
