阅读理解。     Soon computers and other machines (机器) will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The
program works because everyone"s eyes are different. So in the future you won"t have to remember a number
when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You"ll just have to look at the machine and it
will be able to tell who you are.
     The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain,
Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology (技术) will take the place of all other ways of finding out who
people are.
     However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the
shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from
your voice or the mark made by your finger.
     Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don"t change as you get older, and don"t get
dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to
94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51%
correct at present. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye-recognition.  
     In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile! 1. Where has the eye-recognition program already been tested in a few countries? In _______. A. shops and banks
B. shops and schools
C. banks and schools
D. schools and hospitals 2. How does the eye-recognition program work? A. You look at the machine and type a number.
B. You need to speak and then look.
C. The machine looks at your face.
D. You look at the machine. 3. We already have machines that can tell who you are from _______. A. your eyes or your smell
B. your voice or the mark made by your finger
C. your face or your voice
D. your face or your hand 4. Which of the following doesn"t belong to the advantages of the eye-recognition program? A. Your eyes don"t change as you get older.
B. Eyes don"t get dirty like hands or fingers.
C. Everyone"s eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.
D. We can"t see anything without eyes. 5. What problem could there be with the eye-recognition program? A. Some eyes are the same.
B. Eyes can change.
C. It is not always correct.
D. Eyes can get dirty like hands.

阅读理解。     Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all,
you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy.
     Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they
sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay
out of their territory.
     Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (宣称)
as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are
welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. (1)
If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout.  Probably this would be
enough to frighten him away.
 
     If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. (2)一只鸟也将会
做同样的事
. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is
screaming (尖叫) all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird"s
song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
     Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate (同伴) and warn others not to enter
the territory of theirs.
     You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and
setting up territories. 1. 从文中找出一个与establish 同义的短语。
    _______________

    You might frighten a stranger away by _______________ _______________ him if he should enter

 What is a bird"s "territory"?
A. A place where other families of the same species are welcome.
B. A place where a bird can sing loudly.
C. An area where birds often fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own. 4. 将(2)处画线句子翻译成英语。

阅读理解。     Millions of young people are writing blogs. Millions of others are reading them. The word "blog" is a
short way of saying Web log.
     Many popular Web sites now offer free, easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with
writings and pictures. Web sites called "Facebook" and "MySpace" are some of the most popular blog sites
for young people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives.
They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and how they think of others" ideas.
     Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and feelings. They can also be helpful to connect*
young people with others. But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of
people all over the world.

dangerous people who want to hurt them. Many students do not know about privacy* and are surprised to
learn that adults can read their personal daily records easily. Students can also get into trouble when they put
information about others on their blogs.

schools have also begun teaching parents about the web sites. Parents should know what their children are
doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One way to
keep away from these problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by"friends only." people can

阅读理解。     Chocolate lovers know that eating chocolate can give them a feeling of happiness. Now it is known too
that eating chocolate may also make people cleverer.
     Dr. Bryan Raudenbush recently made a study to see if eating chocolate can make people cleverer. The
U. S. scientist knew that chocolate had several stimulants (兴奋剂). But he was not sure how these stimulants
did their job and thus made people clever.
     To find out, Dr. Raudenbush gave the first group of people 85g of milk chocolate to eat and the second
group ate no chocolate at all. After 15 minutes, he tested their memory, and he also tried to see if they were
able to deal with problems right.
     The first group had higher scores. They were able to remember more words and pictures than the second
group, and they could solve (解决) problems much faster. Dr. Raudenbush then decided that the stimulants
in chocolate could make people do things faster and better. And he suggested that if people wanted to do a
better job, eating chocolate from time to time may be of help.

阅读理解。     A new problem has appeared in the world of technology- the mobile phone viruses. The first virus
called "Skulls" and "Dust", was discovered in July, 2004. Compared to computer viruses, these were
harmless, but proved that a virus could be spread across a mobile network.
     But as mobile phone technology moves forward, so do the viruses and the people who create them.
Now many people use "pocket computers" such as PDAs and "smart-phones" which can receive multimedia
messages in different forms like photos, videos, and music, and the most recent virus, "Cabir", is spread by
opening these kinds of multimedia messages. This virus gets into the mobile phone or PDA and then makes
it stop working. In only six months the virus has spread across almost 20 countries across the world-that
shows that it could easily get into millions of phones and PDAs.
     There are some viruses inside illegal (非法的) copies of games. These viruses take personal information
that is stored on someone"s phone, and use it to make money for the people who sent the virus. Sometimes
the viruses have a programme that makes expensive phone calls to high cost numbers. The result is a very
high phone bill for the victim (受害者).
     In answer to this new threat (威胁), many new models of mobile phones and PDAs are now appearing
in stores with anti-virus software on them, just like computers. 1. The earliest mobile phone viruses were calledA. "Skulls"
B. "Dust"
C. "Skulls" and "Dust" 2. The earliest mobile phone viruses A. were dangerous
B. were not dangerous
