Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.

A working day for Dereck and Bevely started very early—at 4:30 in the morning! That’s when they get up and start filming. And it’s a long day—they often work until 8:30 in the evening. In the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40C. Dereck always does the filming—Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras—not with guns!

When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser—when you’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car!

Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that the animals are not just something to look at—they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.

 

50. Dereck and Beverly start working___________.

A. at 4:30 in the morning B. at 4:30 in the afternoon

C. at 8:30 in the morning D. at 8:30 in the evening

 

51. Dereck and Beverly usually sleep___________ at night.

A. in a car B. in a tent C. in a house D. in a hotel

A. are something to look at B. are very popular

C

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung(三星) CEO BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it’s a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).

So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet~ connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too.

But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.

So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

 

53. The Samsung CEO’s speech is mentioned to prove(证明) that_____________.

A. Samsung produced the Internet of things in the past.

B. The Internet of things will come into our daily life sooner.

C. He spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things

D. Samsung products are part of the Internet of things.

 

54. Which of the following is true?

A. Cameras can recognize people’s faces and see when someone passes by in the dark.

B. Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet.

C. Connected-home devices can easily work together.

D. Companies which produce connected-home devices joined together to fight problems.

 

55. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How to produce the Internet of things.

B. The way of connecting the Internet of things.

C. The Internet of things is coming in the future.

D. The introduction to use the Internet of things.

D

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially crowded. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial recognition app could come to save you, but privacy (隐私) experts suggested using with care.

The app, called Social Recall, connects names with faces through smartphone cameras and facial recognition, avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down the social difficulties we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download Social Recall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies(自拍照) and sign in through social media. At the event, the app is active within a certain area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app recognizes the person, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.

Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises (表扬) the app’s creators for these protective measures. She calls for people’s attention, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unwanted consequences (后果) down the road with that information being used in another social environment that might come back to bite you. ”

The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing people they have met. To use this app, a person first gets an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera sees that same face in real life, the entered information is shown. The collected information is stored only on a user s phone, according to the team behind the app.

56. Social Recall is used to__________________.

A. take photos B. organize events

C. make friends D. help us remember others’ names

 

57. Paragraph 3 is mainly about_____________.

A. how the app works B. how the app was created

C. what makes the app popular D. what people can do with the app

 

58. Social Recall helps people with prosopagnosia by ______________.

A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B. collecting information

C. providing the information of a person when they first meet

D. showing the person’s information when it sees a stored face

 

59. What can we learn about Social Recall from the passage?

A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.

B. It caused unwanted result.

C. It can prevent some communication disorders.

D. It is praised(被称赞) by many users for its protective measures.

 

六、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)

If you dropped a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, would you think about eating it again? What if you dropped it in the toilet? Bacteria (细菌) can live everywhere, even in some unexpected places.

If you eat at your computer, sneeze on your keyboard, or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl does.

It’s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.

At school

When you put your schoolbags on the floor or in the bus, many bacteria can live on the bottom of it. Try to clean your schoolbag often.

In public places

Escalator handrails, shopping cart handles, public books and magazines are top bacteria carriers. That’s why the first thing to do when getting home is to wash your hands.

十、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D选项中选出最佳选项。(共8分,每小题2分)

What does the word “patent(专利权)” mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the common things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men, If it had not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inventions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.

If there were no patent protection, there would be little encouragement to invent, for once the secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor’s risks and expenses(花费)might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit(益处)of his efforts.

The most basic values in the U. S. patent system came from England. During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusive privileges(独家特权)to people who had invented new processes(程序)or tools—a step that did much to encourage creativity. Later, an important value was added: society had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, because a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.

George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four months later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an improved method in soap making.

In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organization of over 2,500 people who every week deal with more than 1,600 patent applications, and of those, give more than 1,000. A patent may be given for any new and useful process, machine, or planning method.

The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexpected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines two important patented inventions. Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.

Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time. They have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and enabled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.

 

7. From the passage, what can we learn about inventors?

A. They make a lot of money.

B. They fight against copiers.

C. They have a lot of experience,

D. They put effort into inventions.

 

8. Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?

A. Because their inventions made leaders happy.

B. Because their creativity is very important.

C. Because their inventions could enlarge society.

D. Because they were the smartest people in society.

 

9. According to the passage, the patent system is good for America because _________.

A. it helps more workers get jobs

B. it provides a first-class service

C. it produces less expensive things

D. it helps inventors find markets

 

10. What is the meaning of “outstrip” in the last paragraph?

A. be better than B. catch up with C. make better use of D. cost more than
