题目内容
5.It's 10p.m.You may not know where your child is,but the chip does.The chip will also know if your child has fallen and needs immediate help.Once doctors arrive,the chip will also be able to tell them which drugs are not suitable for little Jonny or Janie.At the hospital,the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history.And of course,when you arrive to pick up your child,setting the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip the one embedded(植入) in your hand.
To some,this may sound unbelievable.But the technology for such chips is no longer the stuff of science fiction.And it may soon offer many other benefits besides locating lost children or elderly patients.It could be used as credit cards and people won't have to carry wallets anymore.
On the other hand,some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty.
"Any technology of this kind could result in abuse of personal privacy,"says Lee Tien,senior staff lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation."If a kid can be tracked,do you want other people to be able to track your kid?It's a double-edged sword."
Applied Digital Solutions,Inc.in Palm Beach,Florida,says it has recently applied to the Food and Drug Admission for permission to begin testing its device in humans.About the size of a grain of rice,the microchip can be coded with bits of information and embedded in humans under a layer of skin.When scanned by a nearby reader,the embedded chip gives the data.
Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips,which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader.But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future will give out information all the time.And that means designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy,yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips.
In addition to technical problems,many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.

A.chips are usually used to locate lost children
B.chips are more convenient than credit cards

A.It will include a chip and a power source.
B.It will be produced and replace passive chips.
C.It will be embedded in humans under a layer of skin.
D.It will give information without being scanned by a reader.

分析 文章介绍了芯片将在很多方面来方便人们的生活,目前需要解决的问题有技术上的,也有法律和隐私方面的.
解答 68-71 CDBA
68题答案是C.推理判断题.文章第一二段介绍了芯片可以帮助定位孩子,告诉父母孩子是否需要帮助,告诉医生孩子的病历史等,是想说明芯片将会对人们生活的许多方面有益.故选C.
69题答案是D.推理判断题.根据If a kid can be tracked,do you want other people to be able to track your kid?It's a double-edged sword.芯片是一把双刃剑,可知Lee对芯片的态度是很关心的,故选D.
70题答案是B.判断对错题.根据Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips,which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader.But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future will give out information all the time讲述了两种不同芯片的区别,但是并没有提到谁要取代谁,所以选项B是错误的.故选B.
71题答案是A.细节理解题.根据In addition to technical problems,many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.除去技术问题,法律问题和隐私问题也需要被解决.选项A的financial problems(经济问题)并没有被提及,故选A.
点评 本文是政治经济类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
