27、   Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.

Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.

Three Square Market is the first company in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.

Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.

In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”

【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The substitutes of the chips.

B.The potential risks of implanting the chips.

C.The places to implant the chips.

D.The advantages of the chips.

【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A.the hands B.the scanners

C.the employees D.the credit cards

【3】We can infer that ________.

A.the chips have magic powers

B.the price of the chips is reasonable

C.the chips are very popular among the employees

D.most people suspect the application of the chips

【4】Which of the following best describes Todd Westby’s attitude towards the chips?

A.Defensive. B.Disappointing.

C.Casual. D.Optimistic.

28、   When the world was new，all the people of the world spoke one tongue. There was no hunger and people were never sick. The heat of the day brought no insects and no wild dogs came in the dark night.【1】.

In the land of the two great rivers there were many gods but Enki was among the greatest. 【2】 . He was wise and powerful.

The king of the city of Uruk was building a great temple to Enki，higher and more beautiful than any temple ever built. 【3】，but it was not complete. The king came to see the building and he wasn't satisfied. "This temple must be the most beautiful in the world，"he cried. “I must have more gold and diamonds. ”

【4】，so the king of Uruk sent a message to demand they be sent to him. The king of Aratta refused angrily，saying，"You will never have the treasure of my people. You must send your armies and we will make war. "

Enki saw that thousands of people would die, so he spoke his nam-shub, words of magic in the original language of the world.  The minds of people became confused. 【5】 .  The kings of Aratta and Uruk, the soldiers and all the people found that they could not understand each other.

29、American and Canadian ocean scientists are taking an unexpected opportunity presented by the coronavirus pandemic（冠状病毒大流行）. They are trying to discover whether Pacific Northwest whales benefit from the drop in boat traffic and underwater noise.

Stay-home laws have greatly reduced entertaining boat trips and ferry crossings this spring. Commercial（商业的）whale watching tours remain on hold. Large ships carrying goods continue to come and go less often. Noise and boat disturbance are considered main reasons for the decrease of the Northwest’s endangered killer whales besides reducing food supply and pollution.

“From a killer whale’s point of view, not having fast moving boats around might be quite beneficial,” said oceanographer Scott Veirs of Seattle, who is in charge of an underwater microphone network called Oreasound.

However, the decrease in sea traffic by the coronavirus pandemic may be short-lived, meaning archers have to act fast to document if the quieter seas make happier, healthier whales.

“We are all trying to remain ready,” Veirs said. “If the pandemic continues to affect boat traffic for the next couple of months, we’ll have a very rare activity when noise levels are reduced. I hope that happens, opportunity to observe killer whale activity when noise levels are reduced. I hope that happens.”

The population of killer whales in the waters of the U. S. Pacific Northwest and southwestern British Columbia has reduced to around 73. They use sound to hunt. locate and communicate, and noise from boat engines can affect the sound waves they make for echolocation（回声定位）. Other larger whales that live in Northwest waters communicate over longer distances in a frequency band（波段）that is almost the same with the low frequency noise made by large container ships.

Viers believes if we continue to not have any commercial whale watching and limit our entertaining boating, the killer whales would certainly experience less of noise disturbance with the boats.

【1】What do killer whales benefit from the coronavirus pandemic?

A．Stricter laws on ocean pollution.

B．More whale watching tourists.

C．Reduced noise and boat disturbance.

D．Increased food supply.

【2】What is the concern of Scott Veirs?

A．The ocean traffic may increase before long.

B．The echolocation function of whales is damaged.

C．The frequency band whales use is similar to boats.

D．The population of killer whales drops too quickly.

【3】What is paragraph 6 mainly about?

A．The population of killer whales.

B．The frequency band killer whales use.

C．How killer whales use sound waves.

D．Why noise from boats affects the life of whales.

【4】Where does the passage come from?

A．A brochure.

B．A news report.

C．A science fiction.

D．A travel diary.
