a. the two farmers found out why they were poor. b. the two farmers will soon get rich. c. neither of the farmers is clever. d. the two farmers decided to buy a truck.bsoon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! the program works because everyones eyes are different. so in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. youll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. the eye-recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the usa, britain, spain, italy and turkey. soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are. however, scientists are also working on other systems. machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! we already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger. eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes dont change as you get older, and dont get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. so the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. however, some other programs may only be 51% correct at present. in britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. in the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. so smile!（ ）61. where has the eye-recognition program already been tested in a few countries?

i meando you have enough to eat?” the old man shook his head.the same evening, i took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. later, i got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name i had discovered was taff.i had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on taffs face when he ate the food. from then on, my visits to the old house had a purpose, and i enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.（ ）66. how did the writer feel about staying in the old house at first?a. he was happy to be with his parents. b. he enjoyed reading good books there.c. he was pleased with the woods. d. he felt very lonely.（ ）67. the underlined word “inedible” is closest in meaning to “_”.a. too bad for him to eat b. nice to look atc. not enough to eat d. as delicious as usual（ ）68. the writer discovered the old man _ the old house.a. near the back door of b. in the dining room ofc. in the garden behind d. among the bushes before（ ）69.what can we know about the old man from the passage?a. he was poor and hungry. b. he helped to repair the old house. c. he liked to play hide-and-seek with the writer. d. he raised many animals.（ ）70. the story mainly tells us _.a. its nice to raise wild animals b. its valuable to help other c. its good to live in the forest d. its comfortable to live in the old housedin the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. there were not many people on earth, and natural resources（资源）seemed to be unlimited（无限的）.today, things are different. the world has become too crowded . we are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. if we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. yet, with modern fishing methods , more and more fish are caught. we know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land.we realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. however, in most countries, waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.we know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.what can we do to solve these problems?if we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people that land where animals are kept. the world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.the importance of protecting the environmentproblems1. more 71 being caught.2. more 72 being cut down.3. more 73 products being put into rivers.4. more 74 being born.causesthe world is becoming too 75 .modern methods make the situation 76 . 77 we human beings
