25、Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll 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 is already being 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 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 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 eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will recognize you in the eye. So smile!

26、THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.
“Mark Twain”， the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).
Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.
But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.
The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.
Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father， he isn’t really looking for freedom， but survival.
It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim， the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps， makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).
Huck and Jim’s friendship， as shown by Mark Twain， is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character， Huck， who gets an idea of the African American experience.
Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway， the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.
With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today， perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.
【1】 How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
【2】Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works?
A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner.
B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.
C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.
D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience.
【3】 According to the passage， which statement is NOT true?
A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.
B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.
C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.
D. Without the special coins， he’ll probably be forgotten.
【4】 The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.
A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious.
C. Being in danger. D. Gone for a long time.
【5】What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.
C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.
D. To draw readers’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.
27、The word “day ”has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day ” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole(北极) is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere(半球). Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

A．both day and night

Will you please 【3】 me up at a quarter to five tomorrow morning?” “I’ll take the 【4】 at five o’clock.” “Oh, sorry,” the owner, a fast speaker, said in a 【5】, “ I’m afraid I can’t. I won’t be able to get up 【6】 early.” The man was about to return to his room 【7】 he stopped and asked, “Have you got an alarm clock? Maybe it can help me.” “Yes, here you are, young man.” The young man thanked the owner happily. 【8】 when he looked at the alarm clock closely, it seemed there was something wrong with 【9】.” “Will it ring 【10】 time?” he asked.“ No problem, young man. You just give it a good shake at a quarter to five. And surely it will ring.”
