What is ThermoFace?
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(高血压) have warmer cheeks(脸颊). 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 has 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.

1. B 根据it looks at different parts of the face to check people’s age and health可知,ThermoFace的功能是检查某人的健康状况。故选B。
2. A 根据“The face has many blood vessels. With their help, ThermoFace can find ‘hot’ and ‘cool’ areas in the face that change with age and illness.”可知,本段主要介绍了ThermoFace的工作原理,A项“ThermoFace是如何工作的?”符合语境。故选A。
3. A 根据as people become older, the temperature of their nose goes down faster than other parts of their face及the area around the eyes usually gets hotter as people get older可知,随着年龄增长,鼻子温度下降较快,而眼睛周围温度升高。因此,眼睛区域的线应上升,鼻子区域的线应下降。故选A。
4. C 根据“Other factors, like exercise and eating ice cream, can change the temperature of your face.”可知,factors指的是影响温度变化的事物,文中所列举的“运动”及“吃冰激凌”都是一些活动,所以C项“活动”最符合语境。故选C。
5. D 根据but we still need to find out if it can be used in real life to help doctors可知,作者对其在实际生活中的应用持不确定态度。故选D。
