Question

【題目】 Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

The eye-recognition (眼睛識別) 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 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 one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out 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 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 have already had 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 don’t change as you get older, and don’t 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 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!

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】C

【4】C

【5】D

【解析】

短文講述了眼睛識別計劃，也就是電腦和其他機器能夠通過你的眼睛來記住你。以及眼睛識別的步驟以及眼睛識別相較于其他識別例如臉，手，甚至氣味的優(yōu)勢。

【1】細節(jié)理解題，第一段中The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. 程序的運作是因為每個人的眼睛是不同的。你只需要看著機器它就會辨認出你是誰。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題，第四段We have already had machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.我們已經發(fā)明出了由聲音或指紋辨識的機器。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題，倒數第二段Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. 虹膜識別比其他都要好，因為你的眼睛并不會隨著你年齡的增長而改變，不會像手和手指一樣會變臟，而且甚至是雙胞胎也有不同的眼睛。故選C。

【4】主旨大意題，根據文章內容可知整篇文章是介紹眼睛識別技術的工作原理、過程、結果以及優(yōu)點。故選C。

【5】推理判斷題，A選項的成立是基于在未來的基礎上，而A選項中并沒有提到in the future的前提。故A錯誤。B選項可通過 “Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!”得知氣味識人的技術當前并沒有研發(fā)出來。C選項可通過 “Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!” 知道虹膜識別技術當前還沒有研發(fā)出來。D選項我們可從原文 “We have already had machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.” 正確。故選D。
