【題目】 A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and TED Talk videos are shared. The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all of them have features in common. 【1】 For events less than half a day in length, two TED Talks videos are required to be shown. For longer events, 25% of the total number of talks must be official TED Talk videos. Being a TEDx organizer can be an extraordinary experience.【2】

【3】

As a TEDx organizer, you’ll have the choice to feature live talks at your event, bringing attention to undiscovered voices in your community. If you decide to include individual speakers, choose extraordinary people who have a fresh approach in their field, a unique story to tell in a dynamic way.

Follow rules & guidelines.

【4】 But there’s a reason they’re part of the TEDx program — to make your job easier. The better you know the TEDx rules and guidelines throughout your TEDx journey, the less you’ll have to deal with annoying details to correct later on.

Apply in advance

Before you organize a TEDx event, you must get a TEDx license from TED. 【5】You’ll need a minimum of three months to organize your event after your license is approved to give your speakers enough time to develop and rehearse (排練) their talks.

A.Discover local voices.

B.Rules are very important.

C.Regulations can be a pain.

D.Then, suggest an event date months away.

E.If you’re thinking about becoming one, below are some tips for you to review.

F.TEDx is a global program brought to life by thousands of individuals all over the world.

G.Every TEDx event either shows only TED Talk videos, or shows both TED Talk videos and live speakers.

【答案】

【1】G

【2】E

【3】A

【4】C

【5】D

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了如何成為TEDx（共享實(shí)時(shí)演講和視頻的本地聚會(huì)）活動(dòng)的組織者并給出了一些參考建議。

【1】考查段中句。前一句講到：TEDx活動(dòng)具有共同的特征，G選項(xiàng)（每個(gè)TEDx活動(dòng)要么展示TED演講視頻，要么同時(shí)展示演講視頻和現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演講者的演講。）是在具體說(shuō)明這個(gè)特征是什么。下文講的是其中的活動(dòng)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)短的安排。故選G。

【2】考查段尾句。前一句講到：成為TEDx活動(dòng)的組織者會(huì)帶來(lái)一種意想不到的體驗(yàn)。E選項(xiàng)（如果你想成為其中一員，下面是一些建議供你參考。）承接上文。故選E。

【3】考查段落標(biāo)題。這一段的意思是：作為TEDx的組織者，你可以選擇在你的活動(dòng)中進(jìn)行現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演講，讓人們關(guān)注你社區(qū)中未被發(fā)現(xiàn)的聲音。如果你決定邀請(qǐng)單獨(dú)的演講者，那就選擇那些在他們的領(lǐng)域里有新方法、有獨(dú)特的故事可以講述的人。由此可知，這一段主要講的是：發(fā)現(xiàn)當(dāng)?shù)氐穆曇簦?/span>A選項(xiàng)切題。故選A。

【4】考查段首句。這一段的標(biāo)題（Follow rules & guidelines）的意思是：遵循規(guī)則和指導(dǎo)方針，下文提到：但是他們成為TEDx項(xiàng)目的一部分是有原因的，即讓你的工作更容易。C選項(xiàng)（規(guī)則會(huì)讓人煩惱。）與下文連接通順。故選C。

【5】考查段中句。前文講到：在組織TEDx活動(dòng)之前，你必須從TED獲得TEDx活動(dòng)許可證。下文提到：在你的執(zhí)照被批準(zhǔn)后，你需要至少三個(gè)月的時(shí)間來(lái)組織你的活動(dòng)，這樣你的演講者有足夠的時(shí)間來(lái)探索和練習(xí)他們的演講。D選項(xiàng)（然后，提前幾個(gè)月定下活動(dòng)日期。）承上啟下。故選D。

【題目】“Iris scan (虹膜掃描) ， please,” the bank’s computer voice tells you . You step up and the computer reads your eye , comparing it to the stored file it has of your iris. The images had better match—otherwise you won’t be able to get your money.

Iris scanning and other technologies , such as fingerprint and voice scanning , have appeared in many science fiction movies in the past. Today , these advanced technologies are part of the real world. They are common at work, the bank, the airport, and your local prison. The iris scan, fingerprint scan, and voice scan are all examples of biometrics( 生物測(cè)定學(xué)) a fast developing area of automatic personal identification technology . Basically , biometrics uses various ways to verify a persons identity , based on the individual’s unique characteristics ,including fingerprints , voices, irises, body heat patterns, facial images, handprints , signatures and so on.

Biometrics identification systems have a number of advantages over password systems. The primary advantage is that an individual has to be physically present in order to be identified. Another important advantage is that there are no passwords to remember , forget, lose or steal.

The voice scan is the simplest and most affordable form of biometrics . It only requires a computer, a microphone and the correct software. The software records a subject’s voice and then compares it to a stored voice sample for identification purposes.

For additional safety, fingerprint and handprint scans can also be employed . Fingerprint scans take the image of a fingerprint and compare it to a stored file of prints. Handprint scans identify the unique features of a hand.

Iris scans currently give the highest level of accuracy among all the available biometrics systems. Another technology , full facial scans , is currently in use at border crossings and airports. Facial scanning equipment can actually track and identify moving faces within a crowd.

The potential of biometrics is exciting and encouraging . With continued development , testing , and application , current technologies will become even more effective in the future. Soon , the days of password and car keys will be gone . Just don’t leave home without your fingerprints!

【1】The first paragraph serves as a(n) __________.

A. example B. explanation

C. comment D. conclusion

【2】The underlined word “verify” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.

A. protect B. confirm

C. develop D. change

【3】Which is the most accurate form of biometrics?

A. The voice scan B. The fingerprint scan

C. The iris scan D. The facial scan

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of biometrics?

A. He is uncertain about it . B. He feels doubtful about it .

C. He is worried about it . D. He feels hopeful about it .

We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been cut down by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our 【1】, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid 【2】 problems in the future.

Making ethical (倫理的)decisions is a(n) 【3】 part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can’t see the risks we’re taking, we can’t make responsible choices. To 【4】 risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn’t know the rules about plagiarism (剽竊) may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as 【5】. But the fact that such a violation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a 【6】.

Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they’re taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” “I’m not hurting anyone,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very complex: “I know I’m looking at another’s exam, even though I’m supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that’s not 【7】 because I’m just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions, and 【8】 excuses. If we fool ourselves into 【9】 we’re not doing anything wrong, we can’t see the real choice we’re making--and that leads to bad decisions.

To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or 【10】 of your actions? If you’d rather hide your actions, that’s a good indication that you’re taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.

【題目】William Herschel was born on November 15th, 1738 in Hanover in a family of musicians. In 1757,he fled to England and began earning a living as an organist and later composer and conductor. In 1772, he convinced his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team became occupied in astronomy. William died at his home in Slough, near Windsor on August 25th,1822,and Caroline on September 1st,1848.

Herschel’s first major discoveries were to show that Mars and Jupiter exhibit axial rotation(繞軸自轉(zhuǎn)). Herschel struck fame in 1781,when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus(天王星) while engaged in work aimed at determining stellar parallax(恒星視差).This being the first new planet discovered since ancient times, Herschel, until then a mere amateur astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum,in honor of the then ruling English king GeorgeⅢ. The trick worked once again, as King GeorgeⅢ gave William and Caroline the titles of“The King’s Astronomer”and“Assistant to the King’s Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life’s pension for both. In 1782 they moved to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels went on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.

While Caroline became increasingly occupied with the search for comets at which she was quite successful, William became for a time interested in the Sun. Inspired by Wilson’s 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspots(太陽(yáng)黑子),an opinion that continued to exist well into the nineteenth century. In 1800,he became interested in the solar spectrum(太陽(yáng)光譜),and uncovered the first evidence for solar energy output outside of the visible spectrum, in what is now known as the infrared(紅外線(xiàn)).In 1801, he published two papers that effectively started the field of solar influences on Earth’s weather.

【1】Herschel made himself known to the world mainly by .

A.discovering the planet Uranus

B.determining stellar parallax

C.discovering two moons of Uranus

D.uncovering the evidence for the infrared

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that George Ⅲ .

A.liked science and technology

B.liked Herschel’s naming of the new planet

C.was interested in astronomy

D.gave Herschel a lot of useful suggestions

【3】What do we know about Caroline from the passage?

A.She was successful in music.

B.She was given the title of“The King’s Astronomer”.

C.She died later than her brother.

D.She published two papers.

【4】This passage mainly tells readers .

A.some information about Herschel and his sister

B.how Herschel and his sister discovered the planet Uranus

C.Herschel and Caroline got along well with each other

D.Herschel and Caroline’s major scientific publications
