24、Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone's eyes are different. Therefore, 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 programme 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.

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 already have 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. The eye-recognition programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programmes may only be 51% correct at present. 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!

【1】Where has the eye-recognition programme already been tested in a few countries?

A. In shops and banks.

B. In shops and schools.

C. In banks and schools.

D. In schools and hospitals.

【2】We already have machines that can tell who you are from________.

A. your eyes or your smell

B. your voice or the mark by your finger

C. your face or your voice

【3】Which of the following doesn't belong to the advantages of the eye-recognition programme?

A. Your eyes don't change as you get older.

C. Everyone's eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.

D. We can't see anything without eyes.

25、   Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural（农村）areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.

In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition（营养）Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from ___,____ primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited（获益）from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education（2017—2020）has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key（重点）colleges and universities. The number was increased by 10% in 2017.

With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced（均衡的）education in the future.

A.the key high schools B.the poor students

C.the key colleges and universities D.the primary and junior high schools

A.①②; ③④; ⑤ B.①; ②③; ④⑤

C.①; ②③④; ⑤ D.①②; ③; ④⑤

【3】After reading the passage, we can infer（推断）that ________.

A.Liu Xi, a student from Chongqing, can go to any high school if she wants to

B.Li Mei, a student from a western rural school, can get a bag of milk every day

26、   Most students have experienced those school nights when they try to stay awake while doing homework. However，is homework the only reason why students stay up too late? For many, the answer may be factors（因素）such as electronics and technology，yet for others，the reply focuses on the balance between schoolwork and extracurricular（课外的）activities.

Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends，or joining a chess club after school，taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students' daily routines.However，as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school，many studentsargue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed，or not so important.“High school is a time when you're supposed to explore what you love，”Samantha Luk，a high school student，said. When it comes to setting a timetable，however，Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students. They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.

As a cross-country runner，journalism fan and violin lover，I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports，clubs and regular meetings give students time to enjoy each other's company（陪伴）and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests and to reduce stress. So in spite of （尽管）heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.

Some students，on the other hand，choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate（狂热的）about.Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents， but generally speaking，it just makes one student different from the other.

Schoolwork and interests are of different values，so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities，unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them，and your balance may differ from others’．Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you. It completely depends on your personal preference.

【1】From what Samantha Luk said，we know that

A.she was good at setting a timetable

B.she often stayed up studying at night

C.she spent a lot of time on her hobbies

D.she put her study before her interests

【2】The writer probably agrees that

A.surprising talents can help students succeed

B.after-school activities are necessary and important

C.students should choose either study or their interests

D.students need to develop hobbies different from others’

【3】What might be the best title for the passage?

A.Managing Your Time Wisely

B.Living a Relaxing School Life

C.Developing Different Interests

D.Discovering Your Own Balance

27、   Barbara Marks, 69, is a retired(退休的）schoolteacher. When she developed early symptoms(症状）of Parkinson’s disease(帕金森氏病）in 2018, she didn’t feel safe driving without somebody else in the car. Marks also needed help with some everyday tasks. “I don’t have any family close by. My son is working. There is no way he could have helped,” she said.

In 2019, Marks saw an advertisement for Papa on social media. It is a service that allows elderly people to hire (雇用）college students for help with daily tasks. Marks decided to give it a try.

Alan Golan was paired with Marks. The 24-year-old started working full- time for Papa when he failed to find a sales job. He spends about six hours helping Marks every weekday. He earns $ 12 for the first hour and $ 10.2 per hour after that.

On a typical day, Golan helps Marks out around the house. Sometimes, he goes out with her, like driving her to the doctor’s office. He has also taught Marks how to use shortcut keys on the computer. With those skills, Ms. Marks now has a quick way to start a computer program.

“Barbara and I get along so well, ” Golan said. “We have a lot of fun chatting together. I care about her. She's like a new friend.” It might sound crazy hiring a stranger to act as a grandchild. However, these young people are a great help to old people who live alone.
