题目内容

【题目】If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me.1

The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.2We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.3Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

4 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

5 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

A.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

B.Things are going to be improved.

C.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.

D.The trip they took me on was a rough one.

E.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.

F. This time there was no tent.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

I won’t call myself the most accomplished person when it comes to 1(hold) chopsticks. In fact, I’m pretty sure that my technique looks clumsy at times. I tend to hold 2 (I) in the middle, more beginner than expert.

Still, since I eat almost every meal with the eating utensil(器皿) of choice in China it’s not uncommon for a new friend or acquaintance to come to a simple 3 (conclude) after observing me that my Chinese husband, Jun, must 4 (show) me how to use them.

They are wrong. I’ve used chopsticks ever since I was a teenager, a time when my sister and mother were both fond of Chinese cuisine and introduced me 5 many new dishes, along with the 6 (prefer) utensils in China. We always kept bamboo chopsticks along with our 7 (knife), forks and spoons, ready for whenever we happened to have Chinese food for dinner. It was my closest family 8 observed my first mistakes I made in using chopsticks.

Plus, I lived over two years in China before Jun and I started dating and I 9 (expect) to use chopsticks in almost every restaurant, stand and bar. Trust me, when you’re hungry you figure out pretty fast what it takes to down(咽下)10 meal with these utensils.

【题目】 Imagine you're standing in line to buy an afterschool snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.

1 As technology companies move away from traditional password, biometric(生物识别) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.

In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.

2 “Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometric expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”

When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “3

But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.

“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS news. “No security systems are perfect.”

Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smartphone for police.

“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. 4

A. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.

B. Security experts don’t think it absolutely necessary to use biometric technology.

C. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.

D. Now, this type of technology might not be far away.

E. If a person’s biometric information is stolen, that could have extremely serious consequences for that individual

F. The chance that a random person could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with his face is about one in a million.
