At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they havecome up with a low-cost device that gets around thisproblem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like theforce of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns areunique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities,and by extension, whether they s hould be given access to the computer it’sconnected to—regardless of whethersomeone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technologythat people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard andeverybody types differently.In a study describing the technology, theresearchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times usingthe smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognizedifferent participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. Theresearchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercializeand is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to makeit to market in the near future.（1）Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A . To reduce pressure on keys.B . To improve accuracy in typing.C . Toreplace the password system.D . To cut the cost of e-space protection.（2）What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A . Computers are much easier to operate.B . Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C . Typing patterns vary from person to person.D . Data security measures are guaranteed.（3）What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A . It’ll be environment-friendly.B . It’ll reach consumers soon.C . It’ll be made of plastics.D . It’ll help speed up typing.（4）Where is this text most likely from?A . A diary.B . A guidebookC . A novel.D . A magazine.4. 阅读理解You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’sthe idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart,they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty ofproducts to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and booksto help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to sc ientificevidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” wasmade up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media andpublic interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehowimproves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart wasundoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that ifwe listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.The idea took off, with thousands of parentsplaying Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of thestate of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the statebudget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It wasnot just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose,even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart threetimes a day to help them to produce better milk.I’ll leave the debate on the im pact on milkyield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makespeople more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis ofsixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to atemporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but thebenefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.（1）What can we learn from paragraph 1?A . Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.B . Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C . There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.D . There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.（2）The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggests that .A . people were strongly against the ideaB . Mozart played an important part in people’s lifeC . the idea was accepted by many peopleD . the US government helped promote the idea（3）What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?A . Favorable.B . Objective .C . Positive.D . Doubtful.（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A . To be or not to be?B . What music is beneficial?C . What is the Mozart effect?D . Listening to Mozart, necessary?二、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）5. 完形填空Sand and StoneThe story goes that two friends were walking through the desert.During some point of the journey they had a fierce argument, and one friend 1control of his anger, hit the other one 2the face.The one who got hit was 3,but without saying anything, wrote in the 4,”Today my best friend hit me in the face.”They kept on walking 5they found an oasis , where they decided to 6.The one who had been hit got 7in the mire and started drowning, but8the friend saved him.After he 9from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone, “Todaymy best friend saved my life.”The friend who had hit and saved his best friend felt 10and couldn’t help asking him, “After Ihurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone.
