PASSAGE 2

A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner’s voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud(欺骗).

The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built-in V oice-recognition chip.The idea is to prevent thieves using a stolen card or fraudsters using someone else’s credit card details to buy goods online.

A model built by engineers at Beepcard in Santa Monica,California,represents the first attempt to pack a microphone。a loudspeaker,a battery and a voice-recognition chip into a standard sized credit card.

They are not quite there yet:the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card,but it is still about three times as thick.The company now plans to make it thinner.

The voice card is based on an earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in online transactions This earlier card has no microphone,but has a built·in loudspeaker that it uses to “squawk”(发出叫声)a voice ID signal via a computer’s microphone to an online server.

By verifying(证实)that the signal matches the card details,the server can establish that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card to hand.The ID code changes each time the card is used in a pre—ordered sequence that only the server knows.

This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps,noting the card details and then playing back the audible ID when they key in the details later. But this earlier technology cannot prevent fraudulent use of stolen cards.The new one can.

The new voice card also identifies itself by its ID squawk, but it will not do this until it has verified the legitimate(合法的)user’s spoken password. Thieves will be unable to use the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to copy the owner’s voice with a high degree of accuracy

The challenge for Beepcard has been to develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry that can be powered by a mini battery embedded(嵌入的)in a credit card.To maximize battery life,the electronics are only switched on when the card is being used.Pressing a button on the card’s surface prompts it to utter “Say your password ”in female voice .If the voice—recognition software

………密…………封…………线…………内…………不…………要…………答…………题…………○……准考证号(学号)

: 姓名: 班级: proves that the password is authentic(真实的),it sends its ID squawk which the server then identifies .allowing the transaction to proceed

26 The voice credit card is an important invention because A it can be made cost-effectively . B it can leave voice messages , C it makes online shopping easy D it makes fraud difficult .

27 What is the problem with the model card? A It is too large . B It is too thick

C It can ’t be used in online transactions

D It doesn’t have a loudspeaker .

28 Which of the following statements about the earlier card is true? A Its owner can change the ID code freely B Its user does not need to key in the ID number . C It can record its user ’s spoken password .

D It still can be used by someone else after being stolen . 29 What is the advantage of the new voice card? A It recognizes only its owner ’s spoken password . B It doesn’t need to work with an online server C It requires less ID information . D It has a playback function

30 What can we learn from the last paragraph about the voice card? A Only female voice passwords could be recognized . B Further improvement should be made to extend battery life C There is no limit to its application . D Female customers like to use it

PASSAGE 3

The National Education Association claims ,“The school bus is a mirror of the community .” They further add that ,unfortunately ,what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community .They are right —sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson .Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl .

Bruce Hardy, schoo1 bus driver for A1thouse Bus Company, has been Liesl ’s bus driver since kindergarten ,Last year when Liesl ’s family moved to Parkesburg ,knowing her bus went by her new residence ,she requested to ride the same bus .

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus .She says ,“It ’s been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when you ’re a child , adults do not think that what you have to say is important.

Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important. Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.

Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company .Larry Althouse ,president of the company acknowledges Bruce Hardy ’s outstanding record: “You do not come by employees like Bruce these days .He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record .He was recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles .Hardy ’s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus ” Althouse further adds , “Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since My grandfather started the business with one bus . Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come.”

Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations .Liesl ’s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy ’s bus to the Octorara School District .

PASSAGE 4

Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans.but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday. In a special report on cancer and blacks,the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.

This could be because of unequal(不平等的)access to medical Care. Because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology(生物学)of the can cancer itself, the report added.

In general,black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis.”the report said.

“In describing cancer statistics for black Americans,this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care.’

The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups(体格检查)earlier, When cancer is more treatable.and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.“The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts” the organization said in a statement.But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.

“Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates(发生率),”said the report.’

退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline,it still has an enviable(令人羡慕的)record for turning ideas into profit.Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create thought. after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer,and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies·

Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but it is not without its crisis, These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science,

eventually starving industry of flesh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur (企业家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being

Curiosity-driven:free and widely available will suffer.Others claim that many of the

programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small

businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years·

While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research

networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organization for applied technology,and has 59 institutes employing 1 2,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year’it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.

46 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?

A Technology transfer.

B Good management.

C Hard work.

D Fierce competition.

47 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?

B USA.

C Europe.

D Africa.

49When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?

A In 1940.

The Supercomputer Network

1 Recently, ten laboratories run by governments in different parts of the world have become linked. Their computers have been connected so they can“talk”to each other. This may not seem very dramatic news,but it is the beginning of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously.

2 The lnternet is an interconnected (互联)system of networks that connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the Intermit is by accessing this network. This depends on the power that your system allows you to use. The power of your computer is responsible for how fast you can download(下载)files,how much data you can 得分评卷人

: 姓名: 班级: store ,etc. If your computer is old and slow ,accessing the information can be very difficult. 3 The new development in information technology has been called “the grid ”(网格技术),and it will be a network of computers that are linked together. The “grid ”will work in a different way from the Internet, enabling you to get the power of the biggest computers in the world on your computer. Accessing the information will no longer depend on the power of your computer. The idea is that while you access information ,you will also have ‘access to the power of the bigger computer stations. 4 One advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant. The “grid ”will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide network to do the job you want. This means that you may be accessing a computer In Japan to solve a problem in Alaska.

5 The “grid ”can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant. You can gave your assistant a task and “he ”will do it for you. The assistant will do the preliminary research ,collect the data ,compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centers in the “grid ” that happen to have the relevant information. Ail you have to do is assign the task ,sit back and wait.

6 At present, possible applications of the “grid ”in scientific research are being explored. While it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use to become widespread , experts believe that the “grid ” could be us and running for private individuals far more quickly. Scientists working “grid ’’projects are convinced that it will be as widely used as the web in the next ten years.

●Twenty Minutes’ Reading on P18-21 ●Translate the following passage into Chinese Trading error dims Everbright's prospects The record 523 million yuan ($85 million) fine may seem big, but Everbright Securities Co's troubles are far from over. The company is facing claims estimated at 2.7 billion yuan by investors alleged to have been misled by the company's deliberate withholding of information about its 7.2 billion yuan trading mistake. But lawyers said potential claimants may need more information from the China Securities Regulatory Commission investigation to pin Everbright down. According to the Securities Law of China, the principal should shoulder responsibility if insider trading incurs any losses. But Liu Mingjun, director of the capital market department of Beijing Celue Law Firm, told Xinhua News Agency that there is a lack of detailed interpretation and regulations in the Securities Law. In the United States, investors who can prove they suffered a loss as a result of insider trading would bring a civil claim against the broker responsible for it, said Gene Buttrill, capital markets practice partner at the global law firm Jones Day. So far, the commission has only handed down the penalty with a note saying that investors who felt cheated can seek redress through litigation. It has not disclosed details of its investigation that showed how Everbright stonewalled the stock exchange on Aug 16, allowing itself time to engage in insider trading to cover its potential losses. Following Everbright's former president Xu Haoming's resignation on Aug 22, Yang Chizhong, assistant executive, and Mei Jian, secretary of the board of directors, resigned on Saturday. Xu and Yang, together with Shen Shiguang, general manager of the accounting department, and Yang Jianbo, general manager of the strategic department, were fined by the commission and banned from any work involving the stock exchange. Buttrill of Jones Day said insider trading cases in the US carry both criminal and civil penalties. "For serious cases, jail sentences are often appropriate," he added. The share price of Everbright Securities plummeted 8.54 percent to close at 9.21 yuan on Monday, while the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析 一、英语阅读(日常生活类) 1.阅读理解 When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed. This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term. Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing. (1)The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means . A. 吹风 B. 给……上发条 C. 摇上 D. 利用空气……使……(2)The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed . A. will be damaged much easier than the normal one B. has a special handle to access the Internet C. is cheap and can run with extra power D. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions (3)According to the passage,what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?

(英语)英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析

(英语)英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析 一、阅读理解 1.阅读理解 What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象的)art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything? Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic(现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours. Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist (立体派的)" because they are made of painted squares. After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it. Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义画家),were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams. There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it. (1)Which would be most like abstract art? A. A painting of a house. B. A sculpture of a car. C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house. D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject. (2)What happened to Picasso's work after a long time? A. It became more abstract. B. It became less strange. C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours. D. He only painted with coloured squares. (3)How did Kandinsky express feelings? A. By using strong colours. B. By painting realistic people. C. By painting with a lot of symbols. D. By painting in red and pink colours. (4)Which of the following is NOT true? A. Picasso painted in many different styles. B. Dali was interested in dreams. C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning. D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.
