have enough iron(铁) in their bodies. charles did blood tests on many people. he discovered something shocking- about ninety 90% of women and children had anemia. he decided to stay and find a solution. charles knew that iron medicine is the usual treatment for anemia. but it costs too much money. research shows that cooking with iron pots(锅) could help because it would release iron into every meal. but iron pots are heavy and cost too much. also, food goes bad if left in an iron pot. so he added a metal bar made of iron to a cooking pot. it did not cost much and it did release lots of iron. however, instead of cooking with it, people used it to hold down papers or support a table with a broken leg.finally charles created the iron fish. fish are part of the culture of cambodia. people in cambodia eat fish every day and they believe that fish are lucky. so people are happy to put the iron fish in their cooking pots. the iron fish has helped thousands of people in cambodia improve their health, and it has also helped the local economy. people who use the fish in their food miss less days at work. and some people even have jobs from the iron fish. though more and more people are using the lucky iron fish in cambodia, anemia is not just a problem in cambodia but a worldwide problem, which affects one in three people in the world. in some places people do not eat fish. but charles says this is not a problem. “the iron could be in a different form. what is important is that it is right for each culture. then people will use it, and it will improve their lives.” he says.28. why did charles decide to stay in cambodia?a. he graduated from a university there .b. he was interested in studying local people in cambodia .c. he wanted to find a solution to a health problem with anemia .d. he himself was suffering anemia .29. what was the problem with the iron bar for treating anemia?a. it was too heavy and cost too much. b. it didnt release iron.c. it could easily made food go bad. d. people found other uses for it.30. how did the local people feel about using the iron fish?a. angry. b. puzzled. c. shocked. d. pleased31. what can you infer from the last paragraph?a. anemia is a worldwide problem.b. the iron fish can be used for treating anemia worldwide.c. fish are important part of the culture of cambodia.d. a treatment does not work unless it is acceptable. da credit card that will not work unless it hears its owners voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud(欺骗).the card using a built-in voice-recognition chip requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes. the idea is to prevent thieves from using a stolen card to buy goods online.a model built by engineers in california packs a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery and a voice-recognition chip into a standard-sized credit card. the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card but about three times as thick. the company now plans to make it thinner.the voice card is based on an earlier beep-card technology designed to prevent fraud in online deals. the beep-card has no microphone, but has a built-in loudspeaker to say an audible(听得见的) id signal through a computers microphone to an online server(服务器). by confirming that the signal matches the information in the card, the server can make sure that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card in his hand. the id code, which only the server knows, changes each time the card is used. this prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing back the audible id when they key in the details later. but this earlier beep-card technology cannot prevent illegal use of stolen cards. the new voice card can. the new voice card also doesnt identify itself by its id until it has confirmed the real users spoken password. the voice-recognition credit card is powered by a mini-battery. to extend battery life, the electronics have only to be switched on when the card is being used. pressing a button on the cards surface allows one to hear a female voice saying, “say your password.” if the voice-recognition software proves that the password is real, it sends its id, which the server then identifies, allowing the deal to continue.32. the voice credit card is an important invention because_. a. it can be made cost-effectively b. it can leave voice messages c . it makes online shopping easy d. it makes fraud difficult 33. what is the problem with the model card? a. it is too large. b. it is too thick c. it cant be used in online deals. d. it doesnt have a loudspeaker34. what is the advantage of the new voice card? a. it recognizes only its owners spoken password b. it doesnt need to work with an online server c. it requires less id informationd. it has a playback function 35. what can we learn from the last paragraph about the voice card? a. only female voice passwords could be recognized b. further improvement should be made to extend battery life c. there is no limit to its application d. female customers like to use it 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
