26、 Would you carry around an electronic ID, not in your pocket, but in your body? Does this idea scare you or make you feel safe?
The first computer ID chip(芯片) that could be planted under a person’s skin might be marketed very soon.
Developed by Applied Digital, an American technology company based in Florida, the device(发明物) could meet the need for public security(安全) after the September 11 attacks.
For airports, nuclear power plants(核电站) and other high security facilities, the immediate effects are obvious.
The technology could help put an end to false ID cards, because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip. The chip is as small as a grain of rice.
The technology would also allow satellites to track a person’s every movement and store medical records.
These uses are already attracting interest for tasks like fighting against kidnappings(绑架), or helping with medical operations.
But some people are afraid of the loss of privacy(隐私).
“You always have to think about what the device could be used for tomorrow,” said Lee Tien, a senior privacy lawyer in the United States.
“At first a device is used for applications we all agree are good, but then it slowly starts being used for more than it was intended,” he said.
However, Applied Digital says it will soon apply for government permission for the device. It says that the first people to use the chip will be volunteers.
Getting the implant(需移植的芯片) would go something like this:
A person or company buys the chip from Applied Digital for about US $ 200. And the company encodes(编码) it with the desired information.
The customer then takes the chip to their doctor, who can plant it with a large needle.
The device has no power supply, rather it is activated(使活动, 使运行) by a scanner(扫描仪) running across the skin above it. Without a scanner, the chip cannot be read.
Even with the privacy concern, some are already eager to use the product.
Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical records. Suffering from a serious illness, he wants to make sure doctors can help him quickly.
Eight Latin American companies have also shown interests in the device. It could help to find any tourists who are kidnapped.
【1】The best title for the passage is _______.
A.Why Is the New ID Necessary B.Getting a New Kind of ID Under Your Skin
C.An Advertisement for Chips D.Where to Buy the Chip
【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.In some airports and factories such device is already being used.
B.The information on the chip can be read when it has its power supply.
C.The technology could help put an end to false ID cards.
D.The first computer ID chip has already come into the market.
【3】What is the advantage with the electronic ID according to the passage?
A.It can store people’s medical records and help with medical operations.
B.With this people will have no fear of losing privacy.
C.It’s cheap to buy and easy to get.
D.It is developed by Applied Digital in Florida.
【4】What can we learn about Jeff Jacobs?
A.He’s a worker in Applied Digital, a company in Florida.
B.He’s a doctor who helps plant tile chips on people.
C.He fears if he uses the chip he will lose privacy.
D.He’s suffering from a serious illness and wants to buy the chip.
27、Green Transport Week
Transportation is one aspect we cannot do without it this day. However, the current transportation systems come along with a wide range of problems including global warming, environmental worsening, health implications (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), and emission (排放) of greenhouse gases. In fact, the transport sector takes up 23% of the globe’ s greenhouse gas emission resulting from burning of fossil fuels. Out of the total greenhouse gas emissions, road transport takes up a lion share, 75% to be exact and this trend is to increase in the future. All this puts lot of pressure on the national governments to work out policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as oil demands.
Figures show that over 90% of all road transportation relies on oil. This figure almost goes hand- in- hand with the total global oil consumption, which stands at 60%. All these have caught the eyes of most governments and policies are being made to change this worrying trend of air pollution.
For example, car use is at an all-time high in Britain, and as the roads get busier, green transport—by foot and bike— gets more and more difficult. The car is being used for increasingly short journeys, as a proportion of all car journeys, 24% are less than 2 miles and 58% are less than 5 miles. The car accounts for 81% of our journeys, walking for only 3% and cycling for 0.5%.
Therefore, the ETA set up the first Green Transport Week in order to raise awareness of the part transport has to play in the areas of personal safety, quality of life and health—as well as its broader global effect on our environment.
In the past we have used Green Transport Week as a celebration of sustainable (可持续性的) transport and as an opportunity to launch a number of national campaigns such as Walk to School Day and Pop-Up Zebra Crossing. Green Transport Week is the most effective way to get a debate going about transport issues in your area, and to spread awareness of the relationship between transport and the environment in schools and workplaces.
【1】What problems does the present transportation systems cause?
A．Global warming and environmental problems.
B．Emission of greenhouse gases and garbage problems.
C．Health and ways of food consumption.
D．Relationship between humans and animals.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “a lion share” in the first paragraph mean?
A．A large part.
B．A small part.
C．National policies.
D．Oil demands.
【3】What is used most in Britain?
A．Walking.
B．Cycling.
C．Cars.
D．Subways.
【4】What is the purpose of Green Transport Week?
A．To celebrate sustainable development of car industry.
B．To raise awareness of the relationship between transport and the environment.
C．To raise awareness of children’s safety, quality of life and health.
D．To launch a number of international campaigns.

29、 Problems between parents and children are common and timeless. If you are looking to improve your relationship with your parents, there are a number of steps that can be taken to make that happen.
1. Act first. 【1】 If you want to improve your relationship with your parents, you should start right away and act first.
2. Be grateful. Let your parents know that you are grateful for all that they have done for you. It can hurt to feel taken for granted, even for parents. 【2】 Get them a nice gift or do some extra housework without being asked. They will likely be happy with you for this.
3. Take their perspective. 【3】 They grew up in a different generation with different social norms and rules of conduct, with different technologies and ways of thinking, with parents who treated them in different ways. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.
4. Develop your own identity. 【4】 Be sure to honestly answer questions such as “what feelings do I want to feel most?” or “what are my talents?” or “what should I spend more of my time on?” In gaining a new sense of autonomy and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves gradually.
5. 【5】 One way to improve your relationship is to be more willing to talk to your parents about things that you may feel are uncomfortable. Keep in regular contact so your parents can get a better perspective on your life, what upsets you, and what makes you happy. If they do not know you that well, it will be difficult for them to try to improve the relationship.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic.
