A. slower B. hardly C. improved D. discovered E. traffic

Don’t Make Me Wait

How long are you willing to wait for a web-page to open? Half a minute? A few seconds?

Internet engineers have 【1】 that even 400 milliseconds are too long for most Internet users.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People 【2】 notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. Millions of smart-phones and computers are collecting and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, and news, you can get “【3】jam online”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service. If one website is 250 milliseconds 【4】 than another website, then people will visit it less often. That is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】E

【4】A

【解析】

隨著科技的發(fā)展，人們的生活節(jié)奏越來越快，在瀏覽網(wǎng)頁時(shí)，甚至400毫秒的時(shí)間也不愿等待，這反過來又督促了科技公司追求更快的速度。

【1】句意：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)工程師發(fā)現(xiàn)，對(duì)于大多數(shù)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶來說，即使是400毫秒也太長(zhǎng)了。

根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該空與前面的have搭配構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，是句子的謂語動(dòng)詞；結(jié)合句意可知，空后that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句是網(wǎng)絡(luò)工程師們所發(fā)現(xiàn)的情況，因此discovered意思合適。故選D。

【2】句意：據(jù)《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道，人們幾乎不會(huì)注意到這么小的時(shí)差，但這確實(shí)會(huì)導(dǎo)致他們停止搜索。

根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該空修飾謂語動(dòng)詞notice，應(yīng)用副詞形式。結(jié)合上句話“A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.”可知，一毫秒是千分之一秒，是很短很短的一瞬間，因此人們幾乎不會(huì)注意到，hardly“幾乎不”，符合語境，故選B。

【3】句意：有那么多人下載地圖、體育視頻和新聞，你可能在網(wǎng)上遭遇“堵車”。

由上句話“Millions of smart-phones and computers are collecting and sending out information.”可知，使用電腦和手機(jī)的人有上百萬，這樣會(huì)導(dǎo)致網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度慢，就跟道路上的堵車一樣。traffic意為“交通”，和jam組成短語traffic jam是“交通堵塞”，符合語境。故選E。

【4】句意：如果一個(gè)網(wǎng)站比另一個(gè)網(wǎng)站慢250毫秒，那么人們?cè)L問它的頻率就會(huì)降低。

根據(jù)句意和空后的than可知，這個(gè)空應(yīng)用比較級(jí)形式，且結(jié)合句意“then people will visit it less often”可知，網(wǎng)站速度慢，人們就不想訪問了。slower更慢的，符合語境。故選A。

【題目】 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 (眼睛識(shí)別) 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.

Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris (虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction (采集). Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.

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 have already had 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 don’t change as you get older, and don’t 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 now. 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 at you in the eye, So smile!
