Evolutionary population synthesis (EPS) models play an important role in many studies on the formation and evolution of galaxy. The poorly calibration for some stellar evolution stages in EPS models can lead to uncertainty of the parameter determinations for galaxies. By means of the HyperZ code and a set of theoretical galaxy template, which are built on the EPS models with and without binary interactions, we present photometric redshift (photo-z) estimates for passive galaxy sample at redshift z ~ 2.0. The passive galaxy sample is selected from Fang et al., and they also provide the redshift for these passive galaxies. By comparing the photo-z determined from EPS models with and without binary interactions, we find that the binary interactions have little effect in the photo-z determinations.
