David and GoliathB A credit card that wont work unless its owners voice is heard may become an important weapon in the fight against economic fraud(欺诈)
26、. The card using a built-in voice-recognition chip requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes. The idea is to prevent thieves from using a stolen card to buy goods online. A model built by engineers in California packs a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery and a voice-recognition c
27、hip into a standard-sized credit card. The card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card but about three times as thick. The company now plans to make it thinner. The voice card is based on an earlier Beep card technology designed to prevent fraud in online deals. The Beep card has no micr
28、ophone, but has a built-in loudspeaker to utter an audible (听得见的) ID signal by a computers microphone to an online server(服务器). By confirming that signal matches the information in the card, the server can make sure that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card
29、 in his hand. The ID code, which only the server knows, changes each time the card is used. This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing back the audible ID when they key in the details later. But this earlier Beep card technology cannot prevent illegal use
30、of stolen cards. The new voice card can. The new voice card doesnt identify itself by its ID until it has confirmed the real users spoken password. Thieves will be unable to use the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to copy the owners voice with a high degree of
31、accuracy. The challenge for Beep card has been to develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry(声音电路). The voice-recognition credit is powered by a mini battery. To extend batter life, the electronics have only to be switched on when the card is being used. Pressing a button on the cards surface all
32、ows one to hear a female voice saying, “Say your password.” If the voice-recognition software proves that the password is real, it sends its ID, which the server then identifies, allowing the deal to continue. 59. Why is the voice credit an important innovation?A. It is cheap to make and buy. B. It
33、can leave voice messages. C. It makes online shopping easy. D. It makes fraud more difficult. 60.What is the problem with the model card? A. It is too large. B. It is too thick. C. It cant be used online. D. It has no loudspeaker. 61.Which of the following about the earlier card is TRUE? A. Its owne
34、r can change the ID code at will. B. Its user neednt key in the credit card number. C. It can record its users spoken password. D. It can be used by someone who has stolen it. 62. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Further improvement should be made to extend battery life. B. Only female
35、voice passwords can be recognized by the card.C. There are no limits to the use of the card. D. Female customers will like using it. C Creative conservationist (环保者) Asher Jay is a designer, artist, writer, and activist who is trying to save the worlds most threatened wildlife with an unusual weapon
36、: Art. “Today we need everyones involvement, not just core conservationists,” says Jay. “ People with no previous interest in conservation tune in to my messages because they engage with my work aesthetically. It starts as an interest in art for arts sake and ends with making lifestyle changes.” The
37、 New York-based artist has become a visual voice for a range of environmental causes. In Africa, screen savers glow with Jays graphics of a Poached rhino horn dripping with blood. Jays cartoons of elephants killed for their tusks have been shown in New Yorks Times Square, wild other works have sprea
38、d worldwide on social media. “The right image can overcome language and cultural barriers, connecting with people on a non-verbal, emotional level,” she says. “It all starts with making an emotional impression on one person. Only then will someone change habits, speak out, or donate.” In recent year
39、s, much of Jays best known work has focused on the illegal ivory trade. In 2012, she created a silk screen print, showing a stark image of an elephants head silhouetted in black, dripping with red blood, and accented by a tusk decorated with images of elephants families. “Every tusk costs a life,” s
40、aid accompanying text. “Stop poaching.”“I wanted to visualize the scale and brutality of the crisis and use art to tell the blood ivory story,” she says. Every year, 35,000 elephants are slaughtered; thats one every 15 minutes.”“Two-thirds of Africas elephants have been killed for tusks in the last
41、35 years. If this continues, experts predict elephants in the wild will be extinct in less than ten years.” Much of Jays work around poaching aims simply to correct a widespread misunderstanding. “Many people think an elephants tusk or a rhinos horn simply falls off, like losing a tooth. My goal,” s
42、he says, “is to make them understand that elephants die painful deaths, because they are alive and conscious as poachers cut out their tusks.”63. What does the underlined word, “poacher”, in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Broken optionally B. Incidentally decayed C. Taken illegally D. Repaire
43、d carelessly 64. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. More and more people care about wild animals now. B. Wild animals will be extinct in less than ten years. C. Jay wants people to stop buying ivory products. D. Jays works show the pain of elephants that are poached.65. What is this passa
44、ge mainly about? A. An artists animal work aims to stop animal slaughter. B. The risk of extinction for wild animals in Jays works. C. A new way to stop illegal trade designed by an artist. D. How people hunt and abuse wild animals. 66. What does Jay say about the effect of art? A. It is a visual vo
45、ice for animal protection.B. It needs words to illustrate its meaning. C. It can help more money to be donated to people in need. D. It makes an emotional impression on people. DAfter my sixth voyage I was quite determined that I would never go to sea. One early spring day, however, I was brought to
46、 see the Caliph. He said, “Sindbad, I have chosen you to deliver a letter and a gift to the King of Serendib in return for his message of friendship.The Caliphs commandment fell upon me like a thunderbolt(晴天霹雳).“Your Majesty, I answered, I am ready to do all that your Majesty commands, but I have ma
47、de a promise never again to leave Baghdad.I admit, said he, that you have indeed had some extraordinary experiences, but I do not see why they should prevent you from doing as I wish. You have only to go straight to Serendib and give my message, and come back as you will.At last, I agreed. The Calip
48、h was delighted and gave me a thousand sequins (gold coins) for the expenses of the voyage. Soon I sailed quickly and safely to Serendib after a nearly 30day voyage where I was well received, and brought into the presence of the king.I displayed the Caliphs gifts: a bed which cost a thousand sequins
49、, and more beds of different fashion. The King received the assurance of the Caliphs friendliness with satisfaction. Since my task was accomplished, I was anxious to depart. The king dismissed me with many presents, and I left immediately on the end day of May. On the fifth day we suffered from pira
50、tes(海盗) who killed some of us and made the rest prisoners of whom I was one. On a distant island they sold us for slaves.

51、o saying, he gave me a supply of food and returned to the town. I settled myself in the tree and kept watching. The next morning I saw a large group of elephants passing by. I shot one to death and run back to tell my master of my success, for which I was praised and regaled(宴请，款待) with good things.
52、 Then we went back to bury the elephant I had killed, in order that when it became a skeleton my master might return and keep its tusks safely.I hunted for two months. One morning as I watched the coming of the elephants which paused instead of passing the tree, trumpeting(嚎叫，吼叫) horribly. I was ter
53、rified. The largest of the animals brought me to the ground .I thought now that my last hour was surely come; but the huge creature, picking me up gently enough; set me upon its back, then turned into the forest.

He asked me what had happened to me and why I was still alive. I soon satisfied his curiosity, and the next day we went together to the
55、Ivory Hill, and he was overjoyed to find as many tusks.He said, My brother, these wild elephants have killed numbers of our slaves every year. You alone have escaped; therefore you must be under the special protection of Heaven. You deserve your liberty, and I will give you a fortune.I only asked li
56、berty to return to my own countryWell, he answered, the monsoon will soon bring the ivory ships here, and then I will send you on your way.So I stayed with him till the time of the monsoon. When the ships at last arrived, my master put on board for me a great store of supply, also lots of ivory, and
57、 said me goodbye. I left without feeling at ease upon the sea after what had happened. I sold my ivory and bought many expensive presents. I joined a traveling team of merchants. Our journey was long and boring, but gradually, I did not to fear storms, or pirates, or any of the other dangers. When t
58、he fall wind came blowing, we reached Baghdad. I brought myself to the Caliph and told him everything about my experience. My story was written in letters of gold, and laid up among his treasures. I took my leave of him, well satisfied with the honors and rewards he gave me; and since that time I ha
