D．￡ 30.3．What do the parks have in common?A．Children should be accompanied by adults.B．They have all been rebuilt before reopening.C．They all offer exciting rides in the parks.D．Certain kids have free entry to the parks.B[2019·全国卷Ⅰ]As data and identity thef t 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 espaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that th ey have come up with a lowcost device (装置) 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 access to 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 based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plasticlike parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.4．Why do the 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 espace protection.5．What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A．Computers are much easier to operate.B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C．Typing patterns vary from person to person.D．Data security measures are guaranteed.6．What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A．It'll be environmentfriendly.B．It'll reach consumers soon.C．It'll be made of plastics.D．It'll help speed up typing.7．Where is this text most likely from?A．A diary. B．A guidebook.C．A novel. D．A magazine.C[2020·武昌区调研]Historians and archaeologists have defined periods of human history for centuries by the technologies or materials that made the greatest impact on society. This includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. But what age are we in now? That question can be answered with one word for some researchers. Plastics.“Plastic has redefined our material culture and the artif acts we leave behind. It will be found in stratified (分层的) layers in our trash deposits (沉积层)．” That's according to John Marston, an archaeologist.The wide variety of synthetic polymers (合成聚合物) would not exist if it weren't for human action. About six billion tons of plastics have been made and spread around the planet. They have been spread from forests to oceans ever since the first plastic polymers were invented.Plastics are one of the most significant changes that humans have made to the Earth's makeup. Most plastics don't easily degrade. This only adds to the problem. Recycling isn't an adequate solution. Not all types of plastic are easily recyclable. And there are only a few recycling plants that can process all varieties of plastic.According to Debra Winter, writer for The Atlantic, this means that many of the materials thrown into recycling bins can cross the planet several times before they are processed. They are made into rugs, sweaters, or they are used to make other bottles. Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean. The problem has reached the point where it's possible that in just a few decades there might be more plastic in the world's oceans than fishes.“Plastics have a suppos ed lifespan of over 500 years, so it's safe to say that every plastic bottle you have used exists somewhere on this planet, in some form or another，” Winter writes.The damage may already be done. It may be too late for human populations worldwide to change their plastic using ways. So the Plastic Age might soon take its place next to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in the history of human civilization.8．Why do people call our age the Plastic Age?A．Because plastics are not naturally made.B．Because humans create plastics.C．Because plastics influence the world greatly.D．Because historians and archaeologists think so.9．According to the passage, how are most plastics dealt with currently?A．They are recycled.B．They are degraded.C．They are thrown away.D．They are made into bottles.10．What is the author's attitude to the Plastic Age?A．Negative. B．Ambiguous.C．Favorable. D．Unconcerned.11．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Plastics have ruined our environment.B．We must stop using plastics altogether.C．Human beings are in the Plastic Age.D．Plastics are significant to human development.D[2020·海南五校一模]Engineers have put a huge garbage collector to gather plastic material in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii, the world's largest spread of garbage, twice the size of the state of Texas.The Ocean Cleanup organization created the collector. The group's founder, Boyan Slat, an inventor born in 1994, was just 16 when he was moved to clean up the oceans when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags than fish.Last Saturday, a ship pulling the pipeshaped floating barrier left San Francisco. Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water. The screen is designed to collect the plastic as it moves through the water. Sea animals can safely swim under the barrier.The cleanup system also comes with lights powered by the sun, cameras, and other special devices (设备), so the system can communicate its position at all times. That way a support ship can find it every few months to remove the plastic that has been collected.Shipping containers will hold all the plastic gathered, including bottles and fishing equipment and are expected to be back on land within a year. Then the plastic will be recycled. The freefloating barriers are made to survive extreme weather conditions and damage from continual use. They will stay in the water for twenty years, thus collecting 90% of the garbage in the area.The Ocean Cleanup has received $35 million in donations to pay for the project, hoping to put 60 freefloating barriers in the Pacific Ocean by 2020.“It's important to turn off the taps on plastic entering the ocean, but I also think people can do more than one thing at a time todeal with this problem，” Slat said.12．What drove Slat to invent the collector?A．The interest in invention.B．His failure to dive due to rubbish.C．The sight of too many plastic bags.D．His knowledge of garbage in the Pacific Ocean.13．How does the floating barrier work?A．It reaches into the water to collect the plastic.B．It has large containers to produce power.C．It forms barriers to protect sea animals.D．A ship drags it along in the ocean.14．Which does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．The support ship.B．The floating barrier.C．The plastic to be recycled.D．The position of special devices.15．What is important for protecting the ocean according to Slat?A．Sending more collectors into the ocean.B．Inventing more ocean cleanup devices.C．Stopping plastic from entering the ocean.D．Banning the use of plastic bags in boats.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
新时代主题大学英语视听说教程(第二册)Unit 7 Script
Unit 7 Innovation and EntrepreneurshipPart OneUnderstanding Short ConversationsLanguage and Culture1. Madam C.J. Walker (Conver. 1)Sarah Breedlove (December 23, 1867 – May 25, 1919), known as Madam C.J. Walker, was an African American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a political and social activist. Eulogized as the first female self-made millionaire in America, she became one of the wealthiest African American women in the country, “the world’s most successful female entrepreneur of her time,” and one of the most successful African-American business owners ever.2. Henry Ford Museum (Conver. 5)No trip to Detroit is complete without a visit to the Henry Ford Museum, which remains the most popular attraction in Michigan. The sprawling indoor-outdoor complex in the suburb of Dearborn is split into three main sites: The Henry Ford Museum itself (showcasing Ford’s eclectic personal collection of historic memorabilia, including the limousine in which JFK was assassinated and the bus on which Rosa Parks refused to relinquish her seat); Greenfield Village (a large selection of historic buildings, reconstructed in a “village” environment to showcase how Americans have lived since the founding of the country); and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour (an interactive, behind the scenes look at state-of-the-art car manufacturing, which still happens here today).Scripts with Key1. W: I spend too much money on beauty products. Too bad I cannot make money with theseproducts, instead of spending money on them.M: Well, one of the first female millionaires was Madam C.J. Walker. She started a company selling beauty products. This provided jobs for many people.Q: According to this conversation, what was the result of Madam C.J. Walker’s success?2. M: I thought the ATM was invented in the USA, but this article says the first one appeared in theUK, and there was something like it in Japan even earlier.W: I don’t really care where the ATM was invented. I’m just glad I can use it now to get cash here in this Vancouver, Canada shopping mall.Q: Where are the man and the woman now?3. W: Do you think they will ever invent a time machine so people can propel themselves into thefuture or travel back to interact with people in the past?M: I don’t think that’s possible. Otherwise, people from the future would be here right now with us, telling us about life in the future.Q: Why does the man believe time machines will never be invented?4. M: I wonder what dating was like in the past, when a man and a woman in a restaurant didn’thave cell phones to look at. How could they communicate with their friends?W: I would enjoy dating a man in those days. We would have a genuine conversation with each other instead of just looking at our phones.Q: What kind of man does this woman prefer to date?5. W: Thank you for bringing me from New York to the Henry Ford Museum. This is one ofDetroit’s main attractions, and the history in the place is amazing.M: Henry Ford was my favorite entrepreneur during my childhood in London. I read about him developing the automobile industry and starting Ford Motor Company.Q: Where does this conversation take place?Part TwoUnderstanding Long ConversationsLanguage and Culture1. Steve Jobs (Conver. 1)Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American business magnate and investor. He was the chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and co-founder of Apple Inc.; chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar; a member of The Walt Disney Company’s board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar; and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.2. Bill Gates (Conver. 1)William Henry Gates Ⅲ (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, humanitarian, and principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect, while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014.3. George Washington Carver (Conver. 1)George Washington Carver (1860s – January 5, 1943), was an American botanist and inventor. He actively promoted alternative crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion.4. Andrew Carnegie (Conver. 2)Andrew Carnegie (November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919) was a Scottish-American industrialist, business magnate, and philanthropist. Carnegie led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and is often identified as one of the richest people (and richest Americans). He became a leading philanthropist in the United States and in the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away about $350 million to charities, foundations, and universities — almost 90 percent of his fortune. His 1889 article proclaiming “The Gospel of Wealth” called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society, and stimulated a wave of philanthropy.Scripts with KeySection A Multiple ChoiceConversation 1 From Disadvantaged Circumstances to SuccessM: Carrie, I need your advice. I have to write a research paper about the achievements of a successful entrepreneur. I’m considering writing about Steve Jobs or Bill Gates.W: No, Luke, everybody writes about them. I advise you to write about someone who had to overcome difficult barriers, like George Washington Carver.M: The first American president?W: No, that was George Washington. George Washington Carver was a distinguished African-American scientist, even when being African-American was a huge disadvantage.M: I remember. He invented hundreds of things using peanuts and sweet potatoes. How did he succeed? Weren’t African-Americans excluded from universities in those days?W: Well, most universities rejected him, but finally in 1888 he attended Simpson College, and then taught at Tuskegee Institute for 47 years.M: How did he endure such brutal circumstances?W: Well, Carrie, Carver confidently declared that the basis of his success was a combination of his Christian faith and curiosity about science, and that, contrary to what some people believed, these two were agreeable.M: That’s amazing! I’ll write my paper about him. What are some of his achievements that affect people today?W: He made great breakthroughs in agriculture, and he showed the world that Africa-Americans could succeed, even in the face of brutal discrimination.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Why did Carrie advise Luke not to write his paper about Bill Gates or Steve Jobs?2. Who was George Washington?3. What did George Washington Carver say about Christianity and science?4. In which industry did George Washington Carver make great breakthroughs?Conversation 2 Real Success Is One’s CharacterW: Victor, I think a man’s character makes him more attractive than money or appearance.M: Well, Rosie, in my childhood, we were poor. Even when we had cash, my parents used it to help others.W: And your family was happy. They followed the Golden Rule.M: You mean, “Do to others what you want others to do to you.” But I desire to be rich like Bill Gates.W: Actually, Gates gave much of his wealth away.M: Really? Then, I’ll follow Andrew Carnegie. His childhood was poo r, like mine, and he became rich.W: Actually, Carnegie gave 90 percent of his wealth to charity too. Real success is calculated by how we help others.M: I’ll help others later, but now if I make a few more business transactions, without anyone discover ing how much money I am actually keeping, I’ll be rich.W: That’s not success. Successful people are honest.M: So, I should be honest, give money to charity, and…W: (She interrupts him)…and follow the golden rule. If you are honest, people will trust you, and then they’ll invest in your company.M: Then I’ll succeed, and help more people.W: Yes, I think a man who helps others is more desirable than a dishonest rich man.M: Rosie, you’re amazing.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What kind of man is Rosie attracted to?6. Why was Victor’s family happy during his childhood?7. According to the conversation, which statement is true about Andrew Carnegie?8. According to Rosie, what makes people willing to invest in a company?Part ThreeUnderstanding News ReportsLanguage and CultureSilicon Alley (NR 1)Silicon Alley, centered around the Flatiron district in Manhattan, is an area of high tech industries. The term was coined in the 1990s during the dot-com boom, as a reference to “Silicon Valley”, the tech center in California. As the New York tech industries began a revival around 2003, the businesses spread outside of Manhattan making the term “Silicon Alley” somewhat obsolete. As of 2014, New York City hosted 300,000 employees in the tech sector. In 2015, New York generated over US$7.3 billion in venture capital investment. High technology startup companies and employment are growing in New York City and across the metropolitan region, bolstered by the city’s emergence as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship, social tolerance, and environmental sustainability, as well as New York’s position as the leading Internet hub and telecommunications center in North America, including its vicinity to several transatlantic fiber optic trunk lines, the city’s intellectual capital, and its extensive outdoor wireless connectivity.Scripts with KeyNews Report 1 Silicon Alley: The Latest New York Startups“The city moves at... at its own speed, right? And we always want to maximize (最大化) our time.” Busy New Yorkers would readily agree with C.J. Bertram, who is at the recent Tech Day event in New York city. Over 500 tech startups were on hand. Many of them like Bertram’s startup “Looop” displayed a distinctive New York sensibility. “We bu ild in coffee shops and we, hey, look at this, we couldn’t find seats or we watched people come in and the line was long we saw them left.”Looop lets users know how crowded restaurants and bars in the city are at any given time. “We integrate sensors (传感器) on that part stereoscopic (有立体视觉的) and it’s set overhead and it basically gets integrated by the entrance of the venue(会场). So we’re able to understand when people are approaching or people are leaving.”Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What would busy New Yorkers readily agree with C.J. Bertram?2. What is Looop aiming at?News Report 2 Silicon Valley Reacts to Trump Decision to Delay International Entrepreneur RuleSilicon Valley (硅谷) Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalist (风险资本家) could not hide their disappointment in a Trump Administration (特朗普政府) decision to delay a policy that would have allowed foreign-bornmoney-back entrepreneurs into the United States to start their businesses.If we don’t encourage entrepren eurs to come here from around the globe, we will go elsewhere and that may be a benefit to the rest of the globe but I think it will be a loss for Silicon Valley.The International Entrepreneur Rule (国际企业家规则) was created under the Obama Administration (奥巴马政府) said to take effect this month.The department of Homeland Security is delaying the start until March 2018 while proposing to eliminate it.The rule would have granted and craved (寻求) for 30 months to 3,000 foreigners annually who are seeking to build and grow their businesses in the United States.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. How do Valley Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalist feel about the Trump Administration decision?4. When was The International Entrepreneur Rule said to take effect?News Report 3 Google Glass App Helps Autistic Children Read Social CuesJulian Brown has autism, one of the ways that manifests(表现) for him is that he has trouble reading people’s emotions but his Google Glasses have an App that helps him read basic emotional cues. “There is not a machine that can read your minds, but this helps with the emotions in recognizing them.”Advocates for the autistic community say the App is just a small part of the support the growing aut istic community needs as they age. “Anything that can help this population is very welcome and very very important. But technology, even the best technology is... will never be enough because we are dealing with the population with very, often very very profound (更深层次的) needs.”Julian’s mother says she has seen a change, “It has helped our son who is using the Google Glasses connect with the family more. He is talking more to us and he is, seems to be pausing more to just kind of gather information from us in conversation that I don’t remember him doing before the program.”Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. According to the news, what is true about autism?6. How can Google Glass support the growing autistic community?7. What does Julian’s mother think of Google Glass?Part FourUnderstanding PassagesLanguage and Culture1. Minecraft (Pass. 2)Minecraft is a 2011 sandbox video game created by Swedish game developer Markus Persson and later developed by Mojang. The game allows players to build with a variety of different blocks in a 3-D procedurally generated world, requiring creativity from players. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat.2.
