26、“Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
The program allows users to display alerts (警报)on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by logging on to a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” banner pops up on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. The default （系统设定）through the computer’s speakers is: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, please report me now.”
The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 (￡21) but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password immediately if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.
【1】The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” can be understood as “_______”.
A. to give the thief an alert mind
B. to express the owners’ anger to the thief
C. to remind the thief of his conscience(良心)
D. to make the thief give up his mind
【2】Different from other security software, Retriever can ______.
A. record the stealing process
B. help recognize the lost laptop
C. lock down the computer remotely
D. send a spoken message
【3】One function of the program is that it allows the owner to ______ at a distance.
A. change some access details for switching on the laptop
B. turn on the laptop by using the original password
C. operate the laptop by means of an alternative password
D. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop
【4】Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.
B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.
D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
27、Apathy
Apathy is a state of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern. 【1】They may also exhibit unfeelingness. Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.
【2】 Also meaning "absence of passion" in Greek, the term "apatheia" was used by the Stoics (禁欲主义者) to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.
The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I, when it was called “shell shock. " Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.【3】In 1950, US novelist Passos wrote "Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with. " US philosopher Robert M. Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference. He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush (埋伏)．【4】
There may be other things contributing to a person's political apathy. Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement. He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something,【5】These include: political media that make it difficult for potentially interested individuals to find relevant information, and media descriptions of heroes as "chosen" by outside forces rather than self-motivated. He suggests that we redefine social apathy not as a population that is stupid or lazy, but as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.
A. It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.
B. Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.
C. The word "dispassion" is used for "apatheia", so as not to confuse it with apathy.
D. He focuses on design choices that unintentionally or intentionally exclude people.
E. So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.
F. Although the word "apathy" originates from "apatheia", it is important not to confuse the two terms.
G. Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people, in which they get a sense that "nothing matters".
28、Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe, your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!
【1】The passage is meant for ________.
A．children
B．parents
C．teachers
D．net bar owners
【2】Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A．The Internet is no good for children.
B．The chat language is strange to parents.
C．Children shouldn’t chat so much online.
D．The Internet is a good place for children.
【3】In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ________.
A．choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them
B．teach them to use correct net words
C．surf the Internet together with them
D．forbid them to use the Internet
29、Do you know the amazing fact that earth is lighted up by bioluminescence(生物发光)? However, for many of us, seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat：Catching the glow(光)of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.
Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health,and the side effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.
A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter, and for a longer period of time, than previous efforts. Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.
The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant, a biotech startup in Moscow. When this team examined a poisonous mushroom, they discovered that caffeic acid(咖啡酸) is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted(嵌入) enzymes (酶) —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco (烟草) plants. In turn, the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants, and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.
This method, the scientists claimed, made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestingly, the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant, bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.
【1】How can people rapidly analyze a decorative flower’s health condition?
A．By checking its glow.
B．By making it greener.
C．By testing the chemicals in it.
D．By putting it in the living room.
【2】What can we infer about the adapted glowing plants from the text?
A．They may replace lamps.
B．They will be present on the market.
C．They can light up a whole living room.
D．They glow less bright than previous efforts.
【3】What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?
A．They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.
B．They made it give out brighter light.
C．They grew it on the tobacco plants farm.
D．They inserted caffeic acid into it.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Potential risk from glowing plants.
B．Strengths of integrating specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.
C．Bad impacts of continuous light production on the glowing plants.
D．Increasing light when glowing plants receive damage.
