Question

【題目】B

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

The eye-recognition(眼睛識(shí)別)program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.

Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris(虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction(采集). Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.

However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eyerecognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eyerecognition.

In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

【4】C

【解析】

【文章大意】識(shí)別人有眼睛識(shí)別、聲音、臉型或指紋識(shí)別等多種方式。本文主要介紹了眼睛識(shí)別程序，介紹了它的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)以及優(yōu)點(diǎn)。世界上每個(gè)人的眼睛都是獨(dú)一無二的，眼睛是不會(huì)隨著年齡的長(zhǎng)大而改變的，所以這種識(shí)別人的方法很準(zhǔn)確。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中第一段最后的句子＂You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.＂可知，你只需要看著機(jī)器，眼睛識(shí)別程序就能分辨出你是誰。答案為C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.＂可知，聲音識(shí)別和指紋識(shí)別系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)投入使用。答案為B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. and even twins have different eyes.＂可知，每個(gè)人的眼睛都是獨(dú)一無二的，即使是雙胞胎的眼睛也是不一樣的，C答案正確。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可知，文章的主旨就是介紹眼睛識(shí)別系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)以及存在的優(yōu)勢(shì)。故答案為C。
