27、Things were not going well for David McCartney on the evening of January 9th, 2006. David McCartney, the father of two, was running late to a meeting, and had been stopped for a speeding ticket. But the delay (延误) put him right where he needed to be when Elizabeth Testerman’s car ran out of the road,catching fire and bursting into flames (着火). Thinking fast, McCartney called 911 and ran to Testerman’s car and pulled her out from the car with the help from two others. “I got to save a life,” says McCartney. “So it would end up being a pretty good day.”
That life-changing event led to a longtime friendship with Testerman, who encouraged him to continue to do good things for other people. In 2019, her message inspired McCartney, a distance runner, to donate his kidney (肾脏) to a stranger before death. Since then, McCartney’s goal has been to run 50-plus-mile marathons in his own state to increase awareness about knowing kidney disease, and also raise money for Team Mason. It is a local organization that brings peopled awareness of kidney disease.
Though McCartney had donated one of his kidneys, he also had to accept the fact that he never got to meet the person who received his kidney, because he or she chose to remain anonymous. “I would have liked to shake his or her hands,” he explains. “But you can’t know what the person is going through.”
After he recovered from his donating kidney, McCartney finally got back to run—but this time, with a new purpose. “We’re trying to get people involved in all the states,” says McCartney. “We’ve got to take this platform as far as we can.” “It’s a big business,” adds McCartney. “But if the sun is shining, we’re running.”
【1】How did McCartney feel at last on the evening of January 9th, 2006?
A.Moved.
B.Grateful.
C.Upset.
D.Proud.
【2】What do we know from paragraph 2?
A.Testerman had set up Team Mason before she died.
B.McCartney tried to get people aware of kidney disease.
C.McCartney donated one of his kidneys to Testerman.
D.Testerman died of a serious kidney disease.
【3】What does the underlined word “anonymous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Unnamed.
B.Curious.
C.Responsible.
D.Special.
【4】Why did McCartney get back to run after his recovery?
A.To exercise so that he could recover soon.
B.To raise money for those with kidney disease.
C.To make more people to know about kidney disease.
D.To win 50-plus-mile marathons throughout the US.
28、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.
29、When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What's the best way to know it?
You may look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech ( 词性), the Chinese meaning and also how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary quickly and correctly?
All the English words are arranged in the alphabcrical order ( 按照字母表的順序 ) in a dictionary. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, B, C, D... That means, if there are two words "general" and "morning", "general” will be certainly before "morning". Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth... For example, "before" is before "begin", "foreigner" is before "forest", etc.
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you'll use it as often as possible in your English learning.
