B.Approving.C.Uncaring. D.Positive.【解析】選A。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第三段的“Ilookdownonthem,sincetheyexposemeasstupid”可知,作者對智商測試是不贊成的。4.Accordingtothetext,apersonwithahighIQmay_________.

A.belesshealthyB.haveapoorsociallifeC.findithardtosucceedD.dieatanearlyage【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“...butshealsoacceptsahighIQcanproducesocialloneliness.OneofMensa’saimsistobringtogether’gifted’childrenbecausetheirgeneralcohortmayfindthemalittleodd.”可知,高智商的人可能不合群,社交能力差。BAgroupofuniversityprofessorsrecentlycreatedascannertheybelievecanpredicttheperfectjobforanyone—simplybylookingattheirfingerprints.Thegroupsaysthatinthefuture,fingerprintscouldhelptellaperson’skeypersonalities.Tousethescanner,peopleplacetheirfingersuponthefingerprintreaderandputertechnologyconnecteduptosensors(傳感器)readsbackwhatsortofworkwouldsuittheindividual.Themachinebasesitsresultsonacollectionofalargeamountofinformationintheputerabouthowfingerprintshapesconnecttojobselection.Localpanieshelpresearchersfromthecity’sKubanUniversityofPhysicalEducationandSporttotestthetechnology.TwentyoneyearoldOscarGalkin,amathematicsgraduate,said,“IgottheresultfromthescannerthatIwouldbesuitedtoajobinIT,whichisexactlywhatIwanttodo.Idon’tknowifitisluckorifitcanreallyreadaperson’stalents,butitworkedforme.”AndZaraTokareva,aged20,whofeelsunfortableatthesightofblood,said,“IwanttobeahousedesignerbutthemachinesaidIshouldbeanurse.So,no,Idon’tthinkitisascleverasitisbeingmadeout.”Thoughfingerprintidentificationhasbeenwidelyusedincrimediscovering,itisstillasciencethathasalotofpossibilityofbeingused,sayexperts,fromdiscoveringdrugmisusetopersonalityanalysis—exactlyashandreadershavebeensayingtodoforcenturies.“Thebasicideaisthatalthougheverybody’sfingerprintsarepletelydifferent,thereareobviousfeaturesthataremononthefingersofcertainprofessionalsworkingincertainjobs,”saidresearcherRavilYudin.“It’snotreallyanewideabecausehandreadershavebeensayingforhundredsofyearsthatyoucantellaperson’sfuturebyreadingtheirhands.Wewanttomatchthatbylookingatfingerprintsandtryingtotellwhatcareerpathpeoplewouldchoose.”【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文?？茖W(xué)家們稱他們研制出了可以根據(jù)指紋預(yù)測未來職業(yè)的指紋掃描儀,本文介紹了這種掃描儀的工作原理及測試情況。5.Fromthetextweknowthatthefingerprintscanner_________.

A.matchesfingerprintstojobsB.tellspeople’scharactersC.helpscollectjobinformationD.readsindividuals’mind【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一、二段的介紹可知,指紋掃描儀是根據(jù)指紋預(yù)測職業(yè)。6.Whatcanweinferfromthe5thand6thparagraphs?A.Thefingerprintscannerhasbeenusedinjobhunting.B.Thefingerprintscannerispopularwithyoungmen.C.Thefingerprintscannerhelpspaniesalot.D.Thefingerprintscannerneedstobeimproved.【解析】選D。推理判斷題。第六段提到,參與測試的這個人認(rèn)為指紋掃描儀預(yù)測的職業(yè)跟她的實際情況不符,據(jù)此推知,指紋掃描儀還有待改進(jìn)。7.WhatcanwelearnfromwhatRavilYudinsaid?A.Thefingerprintscannerisbasedonanewidea.B.Certainpeople’sfingersactuallyhavesomethinginmon.C.Tellingone’sfuturebyreadinghishandsstartedafewyearsago.D.Thetechnologyoffingerprintidentificationcanbeusedinmanyfields.【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“...thereareobviousfeaturesthataremononthefingersofcertainprofessionalsworkingincertainjobs”可知答案。8.Whatisthepurposeofthetext?A.Totellthefutureofhandreaders.B.Toshowthefeaturesoffingerprints.C.Tointroduceatechnicalproduct.D.Tohelpjobhunters.【解析】選C。推理判斷題。本文主要介紹了科學(xué)家們研制出的據(jù)說能預(yù)測職業(yè)的指紋掃描儀。指紋掃描儀屬于科技產(chǎn)品,故C項為最佳答案。Ⅱ.完形填空Oneautumnmorning,Ispottedapairofwildgeeseonourpond.Thebeautifulsightcaughtmeby1becauseI’dneverseengeesetherebefore.Thinkingtheywouldsoonleave,I2thechancetogetclosetothem.Iwonderedwheretheycamefromandwhytheyhadchosenourpond.
