When a person walks, the movement of his head, trunk, hipbones and limbs are all reflected in changes in his body. A computer 1 these changes into a database. Later, the computers can 2 identify him according to these changes. This is a new biological identification method and it can quickly identify an examinee 3 disturbing him. It"s especially suitable for use in airports and supermarkets.
Everybody"s voice is 4 . When a person"s voice is recorded by an instrument, its voice frequency spectrum is called his sound print. Like a fingerprint, everybody"s sound print is different. How can computers 5 his sound? First, his voice is recorded, which allows the computers to become familiar with his voice. It will then turn his sound characteristics into a 6 of digits. These digits represent the frequency, pitch and rhythm of the person’s voice. These are the 7 on which the computers can distinguish1 his voice from 8 .
When that person needs to be identified, after he says only one word or two, the computers can identify him. The computers can even identify sounds coming 9 the wires. This will provide a 10 guarantee to electric banks and electric purchases.
We often bring ID cards2, work cards, or driver licenses with us to prove our identity. If all these cards are forgotten or lost, how can we prove 11 we are? In fact, it"s not difficult to prove whom you are, because your body 12 has identifying markers. Some are physiological features, such as fingerprints, sounds, facial types and eye color. The computer can help to identify you. Suppose your features have already been stored in the database3. To identify you, we have to take your picture with a camera and send it to a computer for 13 . First, the computer needs to reposition this picture according to the position of your eyes4, and then starts to read themessage of your physiological features such as the 14 of your pupil5 to the whites of your eyes6 and the shape of his nose. Next, it seeks matching records from the database. Finally, it makes a 15 .

解析
小题1:从上下文的意思判断，作者说的是往资料库里存储肢体的变化的资料。存储的英语词是 store，所以要选 B.check（检查）、revise （修正）和 modify（修改）与上下文的意思都配不上。
小题2:选项 A 的 nearly （不完全地）、选项 B 的 approximately （近似地）、选项C的 roughly （概略地）都不可能与电脑的快速、准确的性能联系起来，而且约摸地辨认也不会有实用价值。只有选 D （accurately 准确地）才符合逻辑。
小题3:前面句子说这是一项新的生物学的辨认技术，最后一句说，这项新技术适合机场和超市使用。以此推论，这是个好的技术。能辨认人而又不去打搅（without disturbing）被辨认人的技术才是好技术。选项 A 是本题的答案。
小题4:辨认依靠的是被辨认人具有的特性，每个人的声音也有其独特性和惟一性。所以，选项 C 的 unique（惟一的）反映了这个道理，所以是答案。
小题5:本段前面几句是说人的声纹与指纹一样，可以用来辨认人。后面几句介绍电脑如何利用声纹辨认人。所以填入"空5"的词一定是选项 C 的 distinguish.其它三个选项提供的词，无论用哪一个都不合适，因为后面的句子都不是回答 "How can computers hear/understand/record his sound?"这些问题的。
小题6:在句子 "It will then turn his sound characteristics into a ? of digits"（然后电脑将他的声音特征转换为 ？ 的数码）中，填入"空6"的词似是相当于汉语中的量词。查看四个选项，只有 a series of digits （一系列数码）最合适。a package of （一箱的）、a line of （一行的）、a pair of （一双的）与 digits 都不搭配。
小题7:从意义上分析，选项 D 的 basis 是最合适的。而且 basis 与介词 on 也搭配，组成 on this basis （在此基础上）。其它三个选项的词不仅与上下文的意思不连贯，而且与 on 也不搭配。
小题8:句子的意思是，电脑能够将某人的声音与他人的声音区分开来。答案是选项 D 的 another"s.each other"s （彼此的声音）和 one another"s （彼此的声音）明显不对。other"s 也不对，如果要用，就得是 others".
小题9:句子的意思是，电脑还能够识别通过电线传过来的声音。through 是合理的选择。所以，D是答案。
小题10:本题解题的思路最好用排除法。如果选用 cleverer/tidier/smarter 与 guarantee 搭配，意思上有点怪，只有 safer guarantee （更安全的担保）最合理。
小题11:电脑要证明的是我们是谁，即我们的身份，所以只能用 whom we are.B 是答案。
小题12:body 的代词是 it，反身代词是 itself.句子的意思和语法都要求用反身代词，即 itself.C是答案。
小题13:后面的句子说电脑对输入的人像进行多项处理（first, then, next, finally）。要表达"处理"这层意思的英语词是 processing. A 是答案。
小题14:选用 size、type 或 shape 都不行。如果用了， "your pupil to the whites of your eyes"中的 to 就与 size、type 或 shape 不搭配。只有选 ratio, 意思上和搭配上都对。ratio的用法是 ratio of…to…。
小题15:电脑辨认的结果一定要安全可靠，不能含糊其词。所以，proposal, recommendation 都不会是答案。contribution （贡献）的意思与上下文接不上。所以，只有选项B 的 decision 才是答案。
举一反三
Born in Trier in 1818, he came from a rich, middle—class family. Many of his relatives believed in Judaism,but his father had changed to believe in Protestantism(新教) in order to become a lawyer. After studying at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, Marx became interested in politics in his early twenties and in 1848 wrote The Communist Manifesto, together with his life-long friend Friedrich Engels.
Revolution broke out throughout Europe in 1848 and Marx was forced to leave Germany when it failed in 1849. He moved to London, where he spent the rest of his life, working in the British Museum.
His stay in the house in Dean Street in Soho was a time of great hardship for Marx and his family. He was surviving almost on the money provided by Engels and on the very little money he earned as the foreign reporter for a newspaper in New York.
Three of his six children died during the time in Soho and, Marx even had to borrow money in order to bury one of them. Only when Marx’s wife Jenny got 120 pounds after her mother died was the family able to move out of Soho and into a slightly better house in Kentish Town.
Marx died on March 14th ,1883, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in north London.
60．Why did Karl Marx’s father change his belief from Judaism to Protestantism?
A．For his son’s education. B．For his career development.
C．Not to be looked down on. D．To move to another country.
61．Why did Karl Max leave Germany?
A．He was offered a job by the British Museum. B．He couldn’t find work in Germany.
C．The political situation was very dangerous for him. D．He wanted to write a book.
62．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Karl Marx lived a happy life in Soho, London
B．Karl Marx suffered the death of more than half his children
C．Karl Marx was born in a poor family
D．Karl Marx lived a better life after his mother-in-law died
63．Which is the right order of the following facts?
a. Marx’s family moved to Kentish Town.
b. Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto with Engels.
c. He began to work as the foreign reporter for a newspaper.
d. Marx had to leave Germany because of the failure of the revolution.
A. b d a c B. b d c a C. c a b d D. c b d a
“It reminds me of my childhood,” says one player, Lia Curran, 37, a chemist from London. “Right now I’m growing wheat and poinsettia, I’ve got a small orchard, and I’m keeping some chickens and some cows. I like having the animals. It’s comfortable.”
Curran’s young animals, however, are nothing more than a collection of computer-controlled cartoons. FarmVille is an online computer game built into the social networking site Facebook and is described by its players as “addictive”. Launched last June by Zynga Game Network, FarmVille now has more players than Twiter’s entire user base — or more than the population of the UK. The players are largely women over the age of 35.
Jenny Glyn, 33, a London housewife, started playing in September. “I had a look at a friend’s farm and was hooked,” she says. “My first motivation was to overtake her, but I did that pretty quickly. Now there’s something satisfying about growing crops.”
FarmVille intellectually unites the worlds of social networking and gaming. Players are given a patch of ground with six fields, “cash”, a few seeds and a plough and have to build up wealth, skills and neighbors to create bigger, better, richer farms.
Inviting your online friends to play means you earn more and get free gifts; you rise rapidly through the first levels but, once hooked, have to work harder and harder with no final level or goal in sight.
“It’s very moreish,” says Curran. She hasn’t yet paid real-world money to advance in the game, but her friends do. One buys extra virtual currency at the exchange rate of $240 (£145) in FarmVille for $40 (£24) in the real world.
“I’d expanded on FarmVille as much as I could, but I just wanted a pond and some bushes and trees around it,” says the woman, who is too embarrassed to be named. “I didn’t tell my husband I’d paid real money because he’d think I’m mad. But then he did keep me waiting in the car outside our house while he harvested his raspberries.”
Brian Dudley, chief executive at Broadway Lodge, an addiction treatment centre, warns that this sort of obsessive(令人着魔的) play can lead to an addiction as severe as gambling.
59. What does Curran do in the passage?
A. She is a player. B. She is a farmer who grows wheat and poinsettia.
C. She is a chemist. D. She is a housewife who raises chickens and cows.
60. By FarmVille, the writer means ______.
A. an addictive farm on which live 69 million farmers
B. a London housewife’s farm
C. an online computer game built into the social networking site
D. a farm on which people grow real crops and play as well
61. In the last but one paragraph, the husband kept the woman waiting outside ______.
A. because he was angry at his wife’s being mad about the farm
B. because he himself was busy with his farm
C. in order to punish his wife for her having paid real money
D. so that his wife would wake up from her addiction to the farm
62. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The population of the UK is less than 69 million.
B. This sort of obsessive play can cause very severe addiction.
C. Once hooked, one has to make greater efforts to reach a higher level.
D. Up till now, nobody has yet paid real-world money to advance in the play.
“Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see — the mother of the college classmate who died. ‘Years ago’, she said, ‘I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you. Betty forgave you. So did your friends and employers.’ She paused, and then said seriously, ‘You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Tom Anderson. Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?’ I looked into her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be the person I might have been if her boy had lived. For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved.”
It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But forgiving our shortcomings doesn’t mean denying that they exist. On the contrary, it means facing them honestly, realistically.
Can a person be all-forgiving and still be human? A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany. His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers. This is a man who has every reason to hate. Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him. He explained it to me the other day: “In the beginning I was filled with hatred. Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy. Unless you forgive, you cannot love. And without love, life has no meaning.” Forgiveness is truly the saving grace.
67. Tom Anderson and his wife separated after six years of marriage probably because ______.
A. he had killed one of his classmates
B. he had cared more for his adventure than for his wife
C. his wife looked down upon his poor position
D. his life had been made in a great mess by his deep guilt
68. The key reason for which Tom’s life changed back to normal may be that ______.
A. his wife Betty came back to him
B. the mother of his college classmate asked Betty to forgive him for his guilt
C. he eventually learned to face his guilt honestly, realistically and forgave himself
D. he earned a fine position and finally made a lot of money
69. The underlined part in the second paragraph means that ______.
A. the mother of my college classmate permitted me to be a real person
B. even my college classmate would permit me to be what I used to be
C. I wouldn’t be a person unless my college classmate permitted me to
D. I might have been a successful person if my college classmate had lived
70. The best title for this passage could be ______.
A. Forgiveness: the saving grace B. Hatred: unrealistic way of living
C. Love: a meaningful worthy life D. Guilt: unforgivable mistake

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.
You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
against your own 45 .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.
36. A. easy B. ready C. unwilling D. hard
37. A. lead B. lend C. take D. earn
38. A. look at B. pick up C. turn to D. learn from
39. A. that B. since C. when D. while
40. A. useless B. useful C. priceless D. clever
41. A. getting B. making C. suffering D. facing
42. A. on one hand B. on your own C. on the whole D. on all sides
43. A. born B. tired C. satisfied D. covered
44. A. enjoy B. step C. plan D. take
45. A. assumption B. judgment C. condition D. fortune
46. A. basing B. depending C. relying D. focusing
47. A. research B. search C. resources D. activity
48. A. poverty B. laziness C. fear D. diligence
49. A. used B. accustomed C. new D. old
50. A. students B. brothers C. colleagues D. classmates
51. A. owed B. paid C. gave D. held
52. A. disaster B. progress C. failure D. success
53. A. either B. another C. each D. others
54. A. think B. remember C. realize D. recall
55. A. payment B. dreams C. happiness D. business

repeatedly stabbed (刺) him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour
steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had
recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that he
decided to get one too. Peer pressure, media
influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for
wearing tattoos today.
The desire to be accepted by one’s friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. Some of these groups wear only brand – name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person’s friends are all doing something, that person in more likely to do the same thing.
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images(人物，图像) show tattoos－people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings－in other words, to show their individuality(个性). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person"s life.
As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a group"s uniform, a sign of fashion. or an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself. For Jack, it was a mixture of all three.
