Question

【題目】 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 (識(shí)別), 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 have already had 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 eye-recognition 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 eye-recognition.

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

【3】C

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述一種新型的識(shí)臉系統(tǒng)：眼部識(shí)別系統(tǒng)。目前眼部識(shí)別系統(tǒng)在美國等地測試，并且在一些發(fā)達(dá)國家已經(jīng)用眼部識(shí)別系統(tǒng)來驗(yàn)證人們的身份，隨著科技的完善，以后還會(huì)更加普及。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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可知，你通過看機(jī)器讓眼睛識(shí)別系統(tǒng)工作。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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可知，眼睛識(shí)別系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)在商場和銀行測試了，所以選“記住眼睛”，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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 (識(shí)別), and he will take out the money from the bank successfully可知，首先機(jī)器先收集不同人的虹膜并儲(chǔ)存他們，然后當(dāng)人們?nèi)ャy行取錢，這個(gè)機(jī)器將會(huì)有虹膜特征采集，隨后機(jī)器將樣本與虹膜采集對(duì)比，一旦樣本和特征采集相同，這個(gè)人將會(huì)被識(shí)別，最后這個(gè)人會(huì)成功地從銀行中取走錢。所以正確順序?yàn)?/span>cebda，故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is可知，如果有好的技術(shù)，眼睛識(shí)別系統(tǒng)正確率將達(dá)到94%，排除A；根據(jù)In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition可知，表示嘗試了這個(gè)系統(tǒng)的人中91%的人喜歡這個(gè)系統(tǒng)，而不是所有的英國人中的91%，排除B；根據(jù)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以及In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!可知，表示在未來會(huì)被廣泛地使用，排除D。根據(jù)and even twins have different eyes可知，甚至雙胞胎的眼睛都不同，故選C。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章可知，前半部分講述眼睛識(shí)別系統(tǒng)是如何工作的，而后半部分講述眼睛識(shí)別系統(tǒng)與其他識(shí)別系統(tǒng)比較的優(yōu)勢，故選A。

對(duì)于題干中要求要求找True/False/Not true/Not false這類題，直接看選項(xiàng)。根據(jù)選項(xiàng)定位至某一部分進(jìn)行分析，例如本篇閱讀第4題。
