As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.

The Consumer Electronics Show is held yearly in the western American city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Technology companies and experts from around the world come to the event to see, hear and talk about the latest ideas and inventions. Each year's show has special trends.
Ultra HDTVs (超高清电视)
One trend at this year's show is the Ultra HDTV. Its picture is much better than that of the regular HDTV. The electronics maker Samsung says it will make more developed Ultra HDTVs. And Sony says all of its televisions will use the Android system.
Internet-connected devices
Another trend at the show is the practice of connecting home devices to the Internet. People can now connect dishwashers, stoves and refrigerators to the Internet. However, developers still want to invent a way for all of the devices to be able to communicate with each other.
Wearable devices
One such device is a special helmet (头盔) that uses light to grow hair on a person's head. Another device helps reduce pain that people may have had for a long time. Developers also showed a ring that can be used to control other devices using hand movements.
3-D devices
There has been a large growth in the number of 3-D printers produced in the past year. Because of this increase, prices are much lower—several models cost less than $1,000. In addition to 3-D printers, there is now a new 3-D pen. It lets users draw 3-D objects.
Newly-developed robots
Robots are also shown at this year's show. Some of them help children learn computer programming.

When a bee stings (蜇) you, it doesn't just ruin your fun. The insect puts venom (毒液) into your skin, causing pain and swelling. But a chemist in Denmark believes he's come up with a simple device that will draw the venom back out of the wound, bringing victims relief.
Martin Wenckens got the inspiration for the Bee-Patch (蜜蜂膏药) from a home treatment he saw shown on a Danish television program. After getting stung, a person would put a slight wet sugar cube over the wound. The idea is that through osmosis—the movement of a fluid from an area with a lower concentration of molecules (分子) to an area with a higher concentration—fluid moves from the small hole up into the sugar cube, carrying the venom along with it.
Because exposed sugar may attract more insects, Wenckens thought he could improve on the treatment. He put sugar inside a patch that can be worn like a bandage. The side touching the skin has a thin layer through which fluid can move. “After you get stung, place the patch on the injured skin and leave it for one hour,” Wenckens says. “This will lower both pain and swelling. ” He cautions that people with insect allergies should continue to use medications recommended by their doctors.
Wenckens designed the Bee-Patch especially for children, but he reports that lifeguards and soccer players are also using it. “In many schools in Denmark, the Bee-Patch is already a part of first aid kits,” he says. “To have invented a small patch that can be used by so many people of course makes me very proud. ”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了一项治疗蜜蜂蛰伤的小发明。
4. Wenckens was inspired by ________.
A.his childhood B.a TV program
C.a sugar producer D.his private doctor
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段第一句中的“got the inspiration for the Bee-Patch (蜜蜂膏药) from a home treatment he saw shown on a Danish television program”可知,他是从一个有关家庭护理的电视节目里受到启发的。
5.What's the advantage of the Bee-Patch over the original home treatment?
A.It is much safer. B.It is more natural.
C.It is much cheaper. D.It is more effective.
解析:选A 推理判断题。由第三段第一句“Because exposed sugar may attract more insects, Wenckens thought he could improve on the treatment. ”可推断,改进后的发明将糖包起来,不易招惹更多的昆虫,因而比原来的更安全。
6.The Bee-Patch created by Wenckens ________.
A.is not recommended to lifeguards
B.may not be helpful for some victims
C.will protect victims from bees for an hour
D.has an immediate effect on the injured skin
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“He cautions that people with insect allergies should continue to use medications recommended by their doctors. ”可推断,对昆虫过敏的人被蜜蜂蜇伤后不应简单地使用这种方法治疗,而应采用医生推荐的方法,可知蜜蜂膏药对他们可能不太有帮助。
7.The Bee-Patch is widely used ________.
A.by adults B.in hospitals
C.by students D.on football fields
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“In many schools in Denmark, the Bee-Patch is already a part of first aid kits”可知,蜜蜂膏药被学生们广泛使用。
Ⅳ. 七选五
A child can be molded (塑造) in the way that you want him or her to be. For giving the best education to the child, it is very important to teach him or her in a positive atmosphere. 1 So to let a young child have patience is very important.
To do this, first of all, educators need to establish a sense of trust for children. 2 However, as the child grows, it becomes easier to introduce the practice of patience. It is often seen that a child is able to practice learning patience with a positive attitude. Teaching the lessons of patience to children can be milestones of development of different age levels of children. 3
If you really want to teach your kid these basic qualities, there are so many creative ways which might help you. 4 If parents start telling them patience in their day-to-day life, children do catch it and implement (实施) it in their lives. Babies can sense, see and hear reactions. Small children are already very aware of their surroundings and more sensitive to actions and reactions adults make.
Parents can show them examples of enduring patience and introduce them to famous people. 5 Teach them how to handle the situations with more patience so that they can become a better person later on.
A.How can you teach patience lessons to a child?
B.Every parent dreams his child can practice a bit of patience.
C.It also reflects what a child is able to do and cannot yet do.
D.Following heroes' lifestyles could be an interesting method too.
E.It is difficult to teach a child how to have patience when he is young.
F.Children really like doing whatever they want to do without being instructed.
G.The best way to sow the seeds of patience in children is through their parents.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要说明培养孩子耐心的重要性,而父母在其中起着重要的作用。
1.解析:选B 根据下文“So to let a young child have patience is very important. ”可知,上文需要讲明孩子需要耐心的原因,B项符合语境。
2.解析:选E 根据下文“However, as the child grows, it becomes easier ...”可知,上文提到孩子年龄小教他们有耐心是很困难的,E项符合语境。
3.解析:选C 根据上文“Teaching the lessons of patience to children can be milestones of development of different age levels of children. ”可知,此空需要衔接上文,进一步说明教孩子有耐心的好处。教孩子有耐心可以弄清孩子会做什么和不会做什么,C项符合语境。
4.解析:选G 根据下文“If parents start telling them patience”可知,此处想要说明父母教孩子有耐心是最好的办法,G项符合语境。
5.解析:选D 根据上文“introduce them to famous people”可知,此处说明教孩子有耐心的具体的办法,D项符合语境。

More than nine out of ten young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman,who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as “extremely worrying”. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.
Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines,and is associated with a range of problems,including an increased risk of weight gain,heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. “The blue light from these devices suppresses(压制) the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, so it's important to avoid them before bedtime,” said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.
Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more,about nine hours. The proportion(比例) of people thought to be getting too little sleep had risen by a fifth since a “bedroom poll” conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.
Last week revealed opticians were warning that the overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said,“Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes. ” So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you're looking at a smartphone,the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their smartphones 32 times a day.

The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.
The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn't always get the attention it deserves. After all, before a word has even been spoken, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident. It can also show whether you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person, someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions, but your answers won't only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it!

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to know that you are coming to China. Knowing that you are wondering what preparations should be made for this journey,I'd like to offer you some advice.
To begin with, I suggest that you should learn some basic Chinese, especially words and expressions for daily communication, which will help you avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings when travelling. What's more, it will be wonderful if you can check on the transportation in advance. China is such a large country that there are various means of transport, for which you'd better decide on your route and choose the suitable one. Last but not least, why don't you go to some Chinese restaurants in America and try the food there? This will help you better adapt to the eating habits in China. I hope you can find these suggestions helpful.
In a word, good preparations will certainly contribute to an enjoyable journey. I sincerely hope that you can have an unforgettable experience in China. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

A
Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone,and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a.m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo,40,of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600,the Times said,possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality,a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So,for example,if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs,”said Sam Biddle,who writes for Gizmodo. com. “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,”he added,“and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置)that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. ”
9 to 5 Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year,said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,”he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that,and this is a step there. ”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,题材为科普知识类。这则新闻介绍了Google新推出的智能眼镜。
21.One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ________.
A.program the opening hours of a bar
B.supply you with a picture of the future
C.provide information about your surroundings
D.update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,该智能眼镜可能具备目前智能手机和平板电脑所具备的技术,即在屏幕上可以显示有关周围环境的信息。
22.The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.
A.develop rapidly
B.get round quickly
C.appear immediately
D.go over automatically
解析:选C 词义猜测题。此处举例说明智能眼镜具备显示周围环境信息的技术。由此推断,“indicators would pop up”最有可能指显示器“会快速显现出信息”,故选C。
23.According to Sam Biddle,the smartphone-like glasses are ________.
A.necessary for teenagers
B.attractive to New Yorkers
C.available to people worldwide
D.expensive for average consumers
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知,Sam Biddle认为,人们携带一种具有这些功能的智能装置就足够了(例如智能手机或平板电脑),一般的消费者不可能再花费成百上千美金去买另一种装置。这里的another device指的就是智能眼镜,故答案选D。
24.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ________.
A.may have a potential market
B.are as common as smartphones
C.are popular among young adults
D.will be improved by a new technology
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知,Weintraub认为,智能手机接收邮件开始也是不为人们所接受的,智能眼镜最终也会像智能手机那样,被人们所接受和认可。故答案选A。
B
Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing, and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics (模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences,too; unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了大西洋富有力量、和谐和多变的自然特点。
25.Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________.
A.always energetic
B.lacking in liveliness
C.shaped like a square
D.favored by ancient poets
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness”可知,大西洋充满了活力,故选A项。
26.What is the purpose of using the poem“Storm at Sea” in the passage?
A.To describe the movement of the waves.
B.To show the strength of the storm.
C.To represent the power of the ocean.
D.To prove the vastness of the sea.
解析:选C 推理判断题。第一段说明了大西洋富有活力的特点后,作者通过一首古诗印证,接着用一句话对诗歌进行了总结:“As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. ”。由此可判断,作者引用诗歌的目的是展现大西洋的力量,故选C项。
27.What does the underlined word“symbiotic” mean?
A.Living together.
B.Growing fast.
C.Moving harmoniously.
D.Breathing peacefully.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据下文的描述可知,在大西洋生活的大量生物和谐共处,由此可推断symbiotic的意思为“共生的”,故选A项。B. 生长迅速;C. 和谐地移动;D. 平和地呼吸。
28.In the last paragraph,the Atlantic is compared to ________.
A.a beautiful and poetic place
B.a flesh and blood person
C.a wonderful world
D.a lovely animal
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的关键词psychology, personalities可知,作者把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉有情感的人,故选B项。

Hummingbirds are one of nature's most energetic fliers and the only birds to hover (盘旋)in the air by relying on their strength alone.
Now scientists have found that it is the ratio (比值) of the bird's wing length to its width that makes them so efficient (高效的).The discovery is helping experts compete with 42 million years of natural selection to build helicopters that are increasingly efficient.
David Lentink, an assistant professor at Stanford University in California, tested wings from 12 different species of hummingbirds, which he sourced from museums. He placed them on a machine used to test the aerodynamics (气体力学) of helicopter blades (桨叶).Professor Lentink's team used the same machine to test the blades from an advanced micro-helicopter used by the UK's army. They found that the micro-helicopter's blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbirds.
But while the micro-helicopter's blades kept pace with the average hummingbird wings, they could not keep up with the most efficient hummingbird's wing. The wings of Anna's hummingbird were found to be about 27 percent more efficient than the man-made micro-helicopter's blades.
While Professor Lentink wasn't surprised at nature's superiority, he said that helicopter blades have come a long way. “The technology is at the level of an average hummingbird,” he said. “A helicopter is really the most efficient hovering device that we can build. The best hummingbirds are still better,but I think it's amazing that we're getting closer. It's not easy to match their performance, but if we build better wings with better shapes, we might match hummingbirds. ”
Professor Lentink said that we don't know how hummingbirds maintain their flight in a strong wind, how they navigate through branches, or how they change direction so quickly. He thinks that great steps could be made by studying wing aspect ratios—the ratio of wing length to wing width. Understanding these abilities and characteristics could be a benefit for robotics and will be the focus of future experiments.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇科技报道。科学家们通过研究蜂鸟,发现它们的盘旋飞行技能比先进的直升机还要高,因此他们希望进一步研究以提高直升机的性能。
33.What did the scientists find out about hummingbirds?
A.Their wings are long and wide.
B.They can hover in the air for a long time.
C.The ratio of their wing length to wing width is very important.
D.They are the most energetic flier in nature.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,鸟类的翅膀长度和宽度比例对建造直升机有很大影响。故C项符合文意。
34.Which is the right order of Professor Lentink's research?
①Tested wings from different species of hummingbirds.
②Got resources from museums.
③Analyzed the results and drew a conclusion.
④Tested the blades from a micro-helicopter.
A.①②③④ B.②①③④
C.②④①③ D.②①④③
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知,D项为正确答案。
35.According to Professor Lentink, what will be the focus of future experiments?
A.To know how hummingbirds can fly in a strong wind.
B.To know how hummingbirds change direction so quickly.
C.To develop a new kind of helicopter.
D.To study the secrets of hummingbirds.
解析:选D 细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知,A和B选项表述片面化,C选项为文章中未提及。故正确答案为D。

Wheelchairs? White sticks? The Paralympics (残奥会)? 36 The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and long-term bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 37 Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily Able-Bodied) is better for people who are not disabled, because we may not stay that way forever.
2. 38
Imagine not being able to see, or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education? What about my future? Would my friends still want to hang out with me? Will strangers laugh at me in the street? Can I get my own place? What job can I do?
Clearly, having a disability can affect many things in a person's life.
3.Disability and the law
39 It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧视) against someone who is differently abled. The label “disabled” is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition,they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people,or noticing what they can't do, we should look at how we like to live, and try to make it possible for everyone to join in.
After all—what is normal? 40 But better understanding would be a start.
A.How can the disabled find better jobs?
B.How does disability affect people?
C.People with disabilities don't need pity.
D.Most of us have never really thought about it.
E.We should consider more for people with disabilities.
F.Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it.
G.There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.
