題目列表(包括答案和解析)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

  The unique way someone walks can betray who they are with almost as much accuracy(準(zhǔn)確性)as fingerprints, scientists have found.

  Researchers have developed a method that can identify a unique “pressure signature” in their footsteps.By analyzing more than 100, 000 pressure points created by people's feet as they walk, the scientists were able to pinpoint 70 key patterns that are unique to an individual.They hope the system could provide a new form of “biometric” identification that could work alongside retinal(視網(wǎng)膜的)scanning and fingerprints at airports.The only trouble is that the system can only identify people if they are not wearing shoes.

  Dr John Goulermas, an electrical engineer at the University of Liverpool, said they were hoping to develop the system so it will work when people are wearing shoes too.He said: “This is more complicated as the stiffness of the sole and the treads(腳底的硬度和踩踏的強(qiáng)度)can change things, but it should still be possible.” The researchers asked 104 volunteers to walk across boards with thousands of highly sensitive pressure sensors.They recorded ten steps per person and then analyzed how each person's step changed to produce a unique profile for each person.When asked to then identify individuals from their footsteps, the system was correct 99.6 per cent of the time.

  Researchers have been investigating the unique aspects of gait(步態(tài))for some time and many attempts have been made to use computer recognition software to detect individuals.Dr Todd Pataky, who led the research at Liverpool University but has since moved to Shinshu University in Tokida, Japan, added, “If we see a family member or a friend from a distance we can identify that person based on their walk.Our feet are the only parts ofour body that interact with the environment during walking so it is logical that an individual's unique movement patterns are transmitted via the feet to the ground.We are currently working on other checking whether other information can be unraveled(分解)from foot pressures, including things like gender, age, and exercise levels, but we expect that these characteristics will not be as well classified.”

(1)

According to the text, the aim of this research is to ________.

[  ]

A.

work out a possible solution to foot problems.

B.

try out a system to improve people's health

C.

identify who someone is from his/her footsteps

D.

develop a new computer recognition software

(2)

We can infer from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.

the system can identify people under any conditions

B.

family members and friends have the same way of walking

C.

other information will possibly be known from the foot pressures

D.

the system can ensure safety in any public places

(3)

Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

[  ]

A.

How You Walk Can Betray You

B.

New Technology Has Been Invented

C.

Two Scientists Have Got a Good Idea

D.

Character Has Something to Do With Footsteps

1. B:作者不是從其他運動,而是從沖浪運動中獲得(get)了無止境的挑戰(zhàn)的體會。再則,前文The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that water,becoming one with the ocean也有暗示。take from減少,降低;get from從……得到;make from由……制造; keep from阻止,隱瞞,抑制。

2. C你永遠(yuǎn)也不會是最好的沖浪手,因為大洋呈現(xiàn)、提供(offer)的是任何人都控制不了的、數(shù)不盡的、各種各樣的海浪。catch抓住,捕獲;include包括,包含;offer提供;collect收集,聚集。

3. A有些沖浪手自由自在、嫻熟流暢,有些沖浪手則活躍有力、生機(jī)勃勃。注意這兩個句子的并列關(guān)系,應(yīng)該特別注意free 和 flowing之間詞義的順承和協(xié)調(diào)"自由而流暢",后句的aggressive and__3__也應(yīng)該是這樣一種意義聯(lián)系,故選擇A,sharp可以表示"精明敏捷的,迅速活潑,有力有為"意思,其它三項在意義上與aggressive的順承和協(xié)調(diào)相距甚遠(yuǎn)。

4. D所有的這些都在吸引著我去沖浪,并使之不同于(different)其他運動。注意此段第一句The one thing I can get from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge.也有所暗示。(be)different from和……不同。(be)far from遠(yuǎn)離,遠(yuǎn)非;known和right通常不與from搭配。

5. B我盡力(try)地勸我所認(rèn)識的每一個女孩去做人們認(rèn)為女孩不能做的事情。choose選擇、挑選;try試圖、努力;learn學(xué)習(xí);promise答應(yīng)、許諾。

6. A朝著新的水平(level)不斷前進(jìn)是人類活動的組成部分。level水平,水準(zhǔn),標(biāo)準(zhǔn),級別;point 點,尖端;step步調(diào),步伐,步驟,措施;part 部分,局部。

7. C所以女孩子們難道不應(yīng)當(dāng)拾級而上,開始沖破(push)男人們過去主宰的事物的極限嗎?reach到達(dá),伸出;accept 接受,認(rèn)可;push突出,突破攻擊;set 放置,樹立,調(diào)整。

8. D在我們國家有女性和總統(tǒng)不僅僅一起坐(sit),步行(walk),戰(zhàn)斗(fight),而且并肩工作(work)著。同時注意句子的一般現(xiàn)在時意義特征,表示經(jīng)常性的行為。

9. C所以為什么女孩子不能夠肩并肩地與男孩子一起踢足球,外出一起沖浪呢?介詞on表示"在……供職"、"(是)……的成員",on the football team的意思是"是/成為足球隊隊員"。

10. B給女孩子一個獲得成功(succeed)的機(jī)會,讓她們思考(think),感覺(feel)表演(perform),她們就都會有所成就。
