We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or from the mark made by your finger．Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，or get dirty like hands or fingers．And even twins have different eyes，so the program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．Some programs may only be 51%．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of recognizing(认出) you by your eyes．So smile!根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

2016年中考英语 专题16 任务型阅读试题(含解析)
专题16 任务型阅读☞解读考点我国教育部颁发的《英语新课程标准》倡导任务型的教学模式，要求教师依据课程的总体目标并结合教学内容，灵活地和有创造性地使用教材，设计贴近学生实际的教学活动，吸引和组织他们积极参与，并在此过程中培养学生用英语解决实际问题的能力，让学生学会用英语“做事”。
任务型教学中包含的一个很重要的组成部分就是任务型阅读。
新课程背景下英语中考命题以全面地考查学生的综合语言运用能力为宗旨，特别是要考查学生在具体情境中运用英语知识与技能的能力。
任务型阅读正是新课程改革精神在中考中的体现。
直击考点任务型阅读任务型阅读是“阅读理解”的另一种形式，考查学生归纳概括能力和语篇结构理解能力。
其内容涉及广泛，要求学生在阅读理解的基础上，完成一项任务或解决一个问题。
所以“任务型阅读”是介于阅读理解和写作之间，其任务已不同于阅读理解中的选择题或书面表达，而是在理解文字的基础上，完成相应的图表或文字练习，从而有效地测试学生用英语“做事”的能力。
“任务型阅读”题型分析任务型阅读主要考查学生收集信息、整理信息的能力，是对语言应用能力的考查，是培养学生阅读兴趣的一种很好的题型。
它考查的题型多样，可以是翻译句子，也可以是改写句子，可以是填写表格，也可以是回答问题。
根据对任务设计的要求不同可将其分为三类：阅读回答问题根据短文内容回答问题是阅读理解的重要题型。
针对初中知识水平，问题设计一般比较简单，多数考题针对文章中的细节，答案都能在原文中找到出处。
最后一个问题通常为开放性题目，只要言之成理就能得分。
因为是问答题，所以一定要依据问句的形式和内容答题，解题时，要了解不同问题的回答方式。
通常第一道题都是一般疑问句，所以要用yes或no来回答；选择疑问句回答时不用Yes/No，需选择其中正确的一部分来作答；反义疑问句也用Yes或No来回答，但意思要视实际情况而定：前肯后否，正常回答；前否后肯，根据事实从后往前翻译。
如（1）They work hard,don’t they?他们努力工作，不是吗？Yes, they do.对,他们工作努力。
2016年中考英语话题阅读理解专项练习-饮食与健康(含答案) 2
AHealthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.Don't eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.BYou may not have heard the words "freshman fifteen" before, but they are important for students who are entering university.

There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain(获得) weight; but it's encouraging to know thatfreshman don't have to add these harmful(有害的) fifteen pounds.Mistakes choosing foodUniversity kitchens serve many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby(在⾝边) to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying.

Eating rightIf you're careful, you don't have to add fifteen pounds.

Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not eat junk food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.CSometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health. If so, the following health habits may help you.Eat breakfast every morning.Research shows that if you eat a meal in the morning you may not become too fat or eat too much during lunch. Eating breakfast can help people feel better through the day.Get enough sleep.Poor sleep can influence our memory and learning. It can also cause traffic accident! Studies show that people who don't get enough sleep seem to get into more accidents. So stay safe and get enough sleep!Take a walk every day.Walking is an easy way to exercise. You'd better meet friends for a walk, not for a meal. As you walk, you will see the beautiful world around you. Once you try, you will find that adding a walk into your daily life is very easy.Join social groups.Social groups can provide support. They might include sport teams, art or music groups. The people in the group can offer advice and can help each other in difficult times. Also, being in a group keeps your mind busy. An active mind is a healthy mind!Have a hobby.A hobby could be running, reading or making something with your hands. Hobbies help people to relax and rest. Hobbies bring us joy as well.DEach of us wants to be in good health, but not all of us know how to stay health.Try to do these:● Remember not to sleep too much or too little. Eight to nine hours every night is just OK.● Drink six to eight glasses of water every day.● Don t forget to eat breakfast. Breakfast is very important to us. Try to eat different kinds of food to get enough vitamins(维⽣素). So we should eat more vegetables and fruit.●Exercise is good for our health.

I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school.

But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.In the middle of the wall, there is a big "VICTORY". It was written in pen cil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!If you "explore" the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can't understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don't know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.1.
