The program works because everyones eyes are different. So in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. Youll 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 will take the place of(取代)all other ways of finding out who people are.Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris(虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of ones iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out of money, this machine will have iris feature extraction(采集).Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out of the money from the bank successfully.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 dont change as you get older, and dont 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(科技)is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. 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 at you in the eye. So smile!（1）How does the eye-recognition program work? A . You type in your number.B . You say your name.C . You look at the machine.D . You show your ID card.（2）Why can the eye-recognition program be up to 94 correct? A . Because eyes hardly change.B . Because the program is widely used around the world.C . Because people like the idea of the program.D . Because hands or fingers can get dirty.（3）Which recognition program has been already in use? A . Remembering smells.B . Remembering fingerprints.C . Remembering the shape of faces.D . Remembering eyes.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . The eye-recognition program can be up to 51% correct.B . In Britain, 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.C . Everyones eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.D . The eye-recognition program is widely used now.（5）Whats the passage mainly about? A . You wont have to remember a number when you take money out of a bank.B .

The eye-recognition program has already been tested in shops and banks。10. （8分） This year is a leap year. Leap years are years with 366 days, instead of the usual 365. Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years come every 4 years, and most years that can be evenly(平均地) divided by 4 have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29th which is known as a leap day. Why leap is used here? Leap means jump.However, there is one exception to the leap year rule about century years. Century years are only considered as leap years if they are evenly divided by 400. Therefore, 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was a leap year.A person who is born on February 29th may be called a leapling or a leap year baby. In non-leap years, some leaplings celebrate(庆祝) their birthday on either February 28th or March 1st. In England and Wales or in Hong Kong, a person born on February 29th, 1996, will have legally(法律上) reached 18 years old on March 1st, 2014. If he or she was born in the United States, Taiwan or New Zealand, his or her legally birthday will come a day earlier.There is a popular custom in some countries that a woman may ask a man to marry her on February 29th. If the man refuses, he then has to give the woman money or buy her a dress.Since leap days are special days, people nowadays want to do something different within the 24 extra hours.Big jumps are the most popular ones.Some salaried(领薪水的) workers want to get pay for their extra days work. But in my opinion, if you know why there is a leap day, you will get the answer to this problem.（1）The next leap year is.A . 2014B . 2016 C . 2018（2）American boy Toby is a leapling. Next year he will probably to have his birthday party on.A . February 28thB . February 29thC . March 1st（3）Many people like to have a big jump on leap days probably because.A . its a custom B . they are leaplingsC . leap means jump（4）We can learn from the passage that.A . 2100 will not be a leap yearB . every year leaplings celebrate their birthday on either February 28thor March 1stC . it is necessary to pay the salaried workers for the leap days work11. （10分）One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign which said,“I am blind. Please help me.”There were only a few coins（硬币） in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I cant see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure(珍惜)what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.（1）From the passage we know that_.A . the boy is the mans son.B . the man is one of his neighbors.C . the boy is blind and needs help.D . the boy works for the man.（2）On the sign what the man wrote was,“_.”A . Treasure what we have already had.B . Today is a beautiful day, but I cant see it.C . We are so lucky that we are not blind.D . Try your best to help those who need your help.（3）According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A . The hat began to fill up after the man wrote some words on the sign.B . The man took away all the few coins from the hat.C . The boy wanted to get enough money to go to school.D . Nobody wanted to give any coins to the blind boy.（4）The word“recognized”here in Chinese means_.A . 承认B . 接受C . 表扬D . 认出（5）“_”is the best title for this story.A . Be careful.B . Be creative.
