2．Eight years before his death in 1896，Alfred Nobel was surprised to read an obituary（讣告）in the local newspaper.This was a strange obituary，for it told Alfred Nobel，the man who was reading it，that he was dead.The newspaper had confused Alfred with his brother，Ludvig，who had recently died.
Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away，and he was even more annoyed by the title of his obituary：The merchant of death is dead.Alfred was a very rich and successful armaments manufacturer （武器制造商）.
This incident got him thinking about his reputation.What would people think of him after his real death？Would they really say "That was a man who profited from killing"？It was this thought that led him to leave his money-a huge amount of it-for the founding of the famous Nobel prizes.His aim was for his money to be used to support the ongoing quest（追求）for excellence in the sciences and literature，and the ideal of peace.Thousands of men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901.The awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our lives.
However，the prizes are controversial sometimes.There is often protest（抗议）at the award of the Peace Prize when not everyone thinks that the award-winners deserve the award.Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers.The highly influential novelists James Joyce and Marcel Proust，for example，were never honored by the Swedish Academy.
Still，for the most part the awards don't cause many complaints.Alfred Nobel founded the prizes to recognize those who have had "the greatest benefit to mankind" and few would disagree that most of the prizewinners-among them，Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King Jr.- have made contributions that deserve to be honored and remembered.
（1）How did Alfred Nobel feel when he read the obituary in the newspaper？
A．Sad and worried.
B．Shocked and angry.
C．Surprised and confused.
D．Amused and puzzled.
（2）What did Alfred Nobel decide to do after reading the obituary？
A．Seek excellence in the sciences.
B．Donate all his money to the charity.
C．Stop producing any killing weapons.
D．Set up the Nobel prizes with his money.
（3）Why does the author mention James Joyce and Marcel Proust？
A．To show the controversy of some Nobel prizes.
B．To give examples of influential Nobel prizewinners.
C．To explain the standard of giving out the Nobel prizes.
D．To prove the influence of the Nobel prizes on literature.
（4）What does the author think of the Nobel prizes？
A．There should be more female winners.
B．There are too many controversial winners.
C．They have honored many worthy winners.
D．The committee should be more selective.组卷：4引用：1难度：0.6 -
3．Yesterday I cleared up my house and I mean really cleared up my house.The room that gave the most results was my husband's "office".There I found：one right-footed shoe，size 10 （he lost the other one somewhere），a set of Star Wars videos and two small China cats someone gave me last birthday.I collected these "finds" and took them downstairs and logged（登录）on to www.eBay.jye.ai：the answer to all our rubbish.
What is eBay？It aims to provide a global trading platform （平台） where almost anyone can trade almost anything.The idea came from Pierre Omidyar.Born in Paris，Omidyar moved to Washington when he was still a child.At high school he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988，he worked for the next few years as a computer engjye.aieer.In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby，originally offering the service free by word of mouth.By 1996 there was so much traffic on the site that he had to upgrade（升级）and he began collecting fees.Joined by a friend，Peter Skoll，and in 1998 by his dynamic CEO，Meg Whitman，he has never looked back.Even in the great dot-com crashes of the late 1990s eBay went from strength to strength.It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping sites on the Internet.
If you think about it，it's a perfect Internet idea.All you have to do is take an e-photo，write a description，fill out a sales form and you're in business；the world is your market place.
Some of the more bizarre goods up for offer have been a piece of French bread，partially eaten by Justin Timberlake，advertising space on a man's head，and a pair of used false teeth.
One week later I am proud of having a clean and tidy home and 110 in cash.Someone even bought the shoe.
（1）Why did the author log on to eBay？
A．To sell some useless things.
B．To buy shoes for her husband.
C．To exchange things with other users.
D．To search for things used at the office.
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about eBay？
A．It aims to provide a free service.
B．It was the idea of a high school boy.
C．It has become more and more successful.
D．It faced a difficult situation in the late 1990s.
（3）The underlined word "bizarre" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to "".
A．popular
B．unusual
C．valuable
D．unacceptable
（4）What does the author think of eBay？
A．She is satisfied with it.
B．She is worried about it.
C．She shows no interest in it.
D．She thinks it wastes a lot of money.组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5

9．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Some people doubt the accuracy and reliability of the facial recognition technology.They need not，because the technology is highly advanced.It can distinguish a human face with or without glasses.Tests show it has a precision rate of more than 99 percent.
Some argue that the fingerprint or iris（虹膜）recognition system is perhaps more accurate than the facial recognition system.True，but for iris recognition，a person has to hold his or her head still and look at the camera，which is time-consuming and thus not suitable for public spaces such as subway stations.And the fingerprint recognition system is not so secure，as some people can cheat the system by copying and using the fingerprints of other people to enter or exit a station.
Facial recognition is a rather mature system.A facial recognition system collects people's facial images from different angles，instead of one，and therefore minimizes the chance of cheating.Actually，it is already being applied in many fields such as unlocking smartphones and computers.Besides，facial recognition technology can also help the police to hunt escaped criminals in public spaces.
However，the law says a citizen's photo should not be collected for commercial use without his/her permission.To avoid such legal risks，some measures should be taken before the collection of passenger information.First，companies must ensure the collected facial images are only for public convenience，and will never be used for other commercial purposes，such as advertisements.Second，companies must take necessary measures to make sure not even a single one is leaked or sold to any third party without the passenger's permission.Generally，advanced technologies are welcome to be used in public spaces，but people's rights must be respected，at least to avoid legal risks.组卷：1引用：1难度：0.6
