As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. Thats why the story about the guys in the bakery caug

12、ht my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didnt sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday

13、morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Altho

14、ugh the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independ

20、 in English and other languages.The 70-year-old Dutch Sinologist recalled his half-century-long romance with Chinese culture during a recent visit to Beijing.As a child,the vivid descriptions of China in Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winner Pearl S.Bucks books sparked Idemas interest in the country.He la

21、ter read classic Chinese literature and spent whole days pouring through works at the National Library of China.While many other experts on China focused on the countrys economic transformation,Idema continued to study traditional Chinese literature.There were scholars studying law,religion and soci

22、ety,but not traditional Chinese literature,which was my personal interest,Idema explains.Finding reference books for his research,especially regional publications,used to be a huge challenge,and Idema used to spend a lot of time collecting books and other materials during visits to China.Now it is m

26、 China DThe Personal Hobby23（8分） Listen carefully to the footsteps in the family home, especially if it has wooden floors, and you can probably work out who it is that is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices, finger prints and retinal scans. But their “

27、behavioural biometrics”, such as the way they walk, are also giveaways.Researchers have, for several years, used video cameras and computers to analyse peoples gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky-especially if that

28、system is supposed to be hidden. Cameras are often visible, are hard to set up, requi5re good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. So a team led by Krikor Ozanyan of the University of Manchester, in England and Patricia Scully of the National University of Ireland, in Galway hav

29、e been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.In themselves, such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems for donkeys years. But Dr. Ozanyan And Dr. Scully use a complex version that can record the amount of pressure applied in differe

30、nt places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully therefore turned, as is now common for anything to do with pattern recognition, to an Artificial Intelligence system that uses machine learning to recognize such patterns.It seems

31、 to work. In a study published earlier this year the two researchers tested their system on a database of footsteps trodden by 127 different people. They found that its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Dr. Scully says that even without a database of footsteps to work with t

32、he system can determine someones sex-women and men, with wide and narrow pelvises(骨盆) respectively, walk in different ways,- and guess, with reasonable accuracy, a subjects age.A mat-based gait-recognition system has the advantage that it would work in any lighting conditions-even pitch-darkness. An

33、d though it might fail to identify someone if, say, she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database while wearing trainers, it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place.The latest phase of Dr. Ozanyans and Dr

34、. Scullys project is a redesign of the mat. The old mats contained individual pressure sensors. The new ones contain optical fibres(光纤). Light-emitting diodes(二极管) distributed along two neighbouring edges of a mat transmit light into the fibres. Sensors on the opposite edges( and thus the opposite e

35、nds of the optical fibres) measure how much of that light is received. Any pressure applied to part of the mat causes a distortion(变形) in the fibres and a consequent change in the amount of light transmitted. Both the location and amount of change can be plotted and analyzed by the machine-learning

36、system.Dr. Ozanyan says that the team have built a demonstration fibre-optic mat, two meters long and a metre wide, using materials that cost 100($130). They are now talking to companies about commercializing it. One application might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A fibre-optic ma

37、t installed in a nursing home or an old persons own residence could monitor changes in an individuals gait that warn certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over, say, or of their cognition becoming damaged.Gait analysis might also be used ass

38、a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with harmful materials. In these cases, employees would need to agree to their gaits being scanned, just as they would agree to the scanning of their face

39、s or retinas for optical security systems.Perhaps the most fascinating use of gait-recognition mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the

40、collection of mugshots and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Some people, however, might volunteer for it. Many aircrew or pre-registered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.1、Camera-based gait recognition

41、fails to come into wide use, because _.a. its not easy to find the camerasb. finger print recognition is still popularc. sometimes the cameras can be coveredd. its a waste of money to fix the equipmente. good lighting conditions cant be guaranteedf. its difficult to set up the system.AacfBbdeCcdfDce

Up until that point, our family had our own space to spread out. Money was tight, so there was no television set, but we owned a turntable on wh

45、ich my dads records played constantly. Mostly, it played Bob Dylan. Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life. My brother and I, aged 8 and 10, climbed trees, built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga. We would chant over the, lost in our own

46、 joy.It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer. He was 36 going on 37 then, the same age as Dylan. Afterwards, our laughter disappeared, but we kept on playing the records, which became our only ritual of remembrance. The two men became so intertwined in my head, I struggled t

47、o tell them apart.Dylan was my dads gift to me. What child wouldnt be fascinated by songs full of pirates and seasick sailors? How did it feel to have No direction home? Farewell, Angelina became my party-piece. I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience. A lot of donatio

48、ns were made.Growing up, I remained a fan of the music, but I wasnt obsessed with Dylan until one day in early 1995, my brother bought us both tickets to see him play at Brixton Academy. London felt like a long way to go. But finally seeing Dylan step out onto the stage brought a sudden rush of exci

49、tement.I have seen Dylan a couple of times since. My brother is not around so much these days. But he was up for a visit recently. We passed a happy evening laughing and drinking, while his son, aged nine, performed his partypiece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us. He sang it word-perfect. And so i

50、t goes on: Dylans music as a gift, passed down the generations.1、Whats the authors purposed of writing the passage?ATo praise his late father. BTo tell about his family history.CTo express his longing for family reunion. DTo show his love for Bob Dylan.2、The underlined word “ritual” in the second pa

51、ragraph means “_”.Apassion BceremonyCmemory Dbelief3、How did the author raise money in his childhood?ABy singing a Dylans song at church gatherings.BBy providing cheese and wines to church prayers.CBy playing a private in church performances.DBy accepting donations from the church.4、The recent visit

52、 of the authors brother indicates that _.Ahis nephew was ever invited to play in Dylans concertBhis brother has never seen a live performance of DylanCDylans music has influenced three generations of his familyDSubterranean Homesick Blues is always his favourite song25（10分） For the past two years I

53、have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that

54、.This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about New Years resolutions(愿望)” - living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I dont feel the need to plan for change: I liv

55、e for change.New Years Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last ye

56、ar, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by c

57、ulture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.A lot of people feel that New Years Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Years kiss and resolutions create a lot o

58、f pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why cant New Year be about friends?1、What does the underlined word It in Paragraph I prob

59、ably mean?AFamily.BLiving abroad.CHome.DStaying with friends.2、Why doesnt the author care about New Years resolutions?ANew Years resolutions cannot be reached.BHis lifestyle makes him always ready for change.CIts meaningless to make any big changes in life.DMaking New Years resolutions creates much

60、pressure.3、What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?ALife is peaceful and enjoyable.BLiving abroad is a happy experience.CStaying with friends makes one feel at home.DTravelling abroad enriches ones life experience.4、Which of the following can be the best t
