22、Several Things That You Can’t Miss in Macao
Macau, along with Hong Kong, is one of the two special administrative regions of China in Eastern Asia. It lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong and facing the South China Sea. If you have ever thought of travelling around, Macao is definitely on your list.
·Visit the Macao Tower
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world’s 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor — it’s still remarkable. Grab this chance and tick off this item on your bucket list.
·Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner
Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region.
·Selfie at the Ruins of St. Paul
The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. Miraculously, after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge facade(建筑物正面) and the front stairway remain unburned.
·Watch the Macao Grand Prix
The Macao Grand Prix is a major worldwide car-racing event held annually, featuring over 300 top drivers every year. This challenging circuit consists of fast straights, tight corners and uncompromising crash barriers, attracting numerous top Formula One drivers who aim to win. The Grand Prix runs annually in November every year for about four days.

23、There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into(打探) other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.
And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000episodesof Coronation Street.
The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.
Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time. However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.
The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.
【1】What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?
A. American dramas are longer.
B. British soap operas are longer.
C. American dramas deal with dangerous things.
D. British soap operas deal with real people.
【2】Why do British people like to watch such operas?
A. They can find their own life from the operas.
B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.
C. They can watch the operas for many years.
D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.
【3】The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.
A. plays
B. pages
C. issues
D. parts
【4】One characteristic of British operas is that ______.
A. the characters play the same role for a long time.
B. the characters in the play often change
C. people don’t know what will happen next
D. there is only one or two characters in them
24、As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies like fingerprint scans to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low - cost device that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) 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 the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given the chance to use the computer it's connected to - regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants (参与者) based on. how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize (商业化) and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic - like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
【1】Why do he researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys
B.To improve accuracy in typing
C.To replace 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 difficult to operate with a mouse
B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person
D.People's identities are determined by the keyboard
【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 guidebook
C.A magazine
D.A novel
