According to a recent discovery, the shape of ears cou
17、ld provide a reliable new way of identifying people at airports.Researchers discovered that ears of each person have a unique shape and they have created a system that can scan them. The ear scanning technique uses a technology called image ray transform that highlights all the tubular structures (结
18、构) of the ear and measures them. Professor Mark Nixon, a computer scientist who led the team from the University of Southampton, believes ear scanning could take place as passengers walk through security gates, for example, by placing cameras on either side to record an image of their ears. Comparin
19、g the results against a database of ear shapes, the new system could help airport security workers instantly identify passengers.Nixon and his team tested 252 images of different ears and found the system was able to match each ear to a separate image held in its database with 99 percent accuracy.Be
20、sides ear scanning, there have been other systems developed for identity recognition. “With facial recognition, the systems are often confused by crows feet (鱼尾纹) and other signs of ageing,” Nixon said. “Your ears, however, age very gracefully. They grow proportionally (按比例) and your lobe (耳垂) gets
21、a bit larger, but otherwise your ears are fully formed from birth.” Whats more, facial recognition software is often confused by changes in expression so people need to control their faces and in some cases even avoid wearing make-up.An ear scan system would also offer a less invasive alternative to
22、 retina (视网膜) scanning, which requires passengers to stare at scanners from a close range.Fingertip detection has long been the most effective way of identifying someone. Nixon expects there to be a combination of different techniques that can be used at the same time to identify a person.”36. The e
23、ar scanning system would help to find out _.A. where you come from B. whether you are healthyC. who you areD. who shares your ear shape37. The article does not say _.A. who developed the systemB. how the system worksC. where the system can be appliedD. how long the system took to develop 38. Ear sca
24、nning would work better than facial recognition mainly because _.A. the ear scanning system is computerizedB. ears change less with age than faces C. facial expressions are often the sameD. facial appearances arent unique39. The underlined word “invasive” in the last but one paragraph possibly means
25、 “_”.A. comfortable B. expensiveC. disappointingD. annoying40.

26、e easier to read than fingerprintsB We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standa
27、rds of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed no examination is perfect but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any cont
28、rols in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them a form of
29、 favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and oppor
30、tunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force
31、because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection wou
32、ld be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer. 41. The word “ favoritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that_.A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.B. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs.C. poor child
33、ren with certificates are favored in job markets.D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success.42. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. schools for bright children would lose their reputation.B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.C
34、. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.D. Childrens job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.43. The opponents of the examination system will agree that_.A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection.B. computers should be selected to take ov
35、er many jobs.C. special classes are necessary to keep the school standards.D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with.44. The passage mainly focuses on _.A. schools and certificates B. examinations and equalityC. opportunity and employment D. standards and reputation45. The underline

A. successful achievement B. good title C. strict management D. fameCSomewhere on the other side of the world, a small group of workers is busy with a life-or-death struggleThis battle isnt about self-protection, as admirable as that might be By slaying to face the radia

38、 hopes that they can prevent thousands of tons of radioactive material going into the air, and protect the health of millions of people Their task sounds like something out of a sci-fi thrillerThey worked on the equipment in the complete darkness only by their flashlights, listening for explosionsTh

41、es who can fix itThats just what we doI dont know about you, but Ive never really thought of nuclear power plant workers as guardians at the gate those whose jobs may at any time place them in a position to protect us, perhaps at the risk of their own livesThese are obviously guardians at the gateIn
