四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在

答题 卡上将该项涂黑。

It

was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch office on the West Side. I had come to

36

a checking account. The only officer on

37

was a fortyish black man, standing

38

a

small

counter

from

a

young

white

boy

who

was

wearing

a

V-necked

sweater.

I

think

I

was

especially

39

of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a

40

in a West Side bank.

The boy continued to

41

my attention because of what happened next. He was holding

an

open

savings-account

book

and

42

an

expression

of

disappointment.

“But

I

don’t

understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I

43

any money?” the boy said, hi

s

voice breaking.

“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen

-year-old is

not

44

to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.

Suddenly

I

noticed

the

account

had

a

series

of

small

deposits

and

withdraws.

Then

I

questioned the officer,

“How do you

45

that? Why did you let him withdraw money before,

but not now?” He looked

46

.

“Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now

they

are.

It’s

really

very

47

.”

I

turned

to

the

boy

with

a

shrug.

“You’re

really

getting

48

,”

I

said.

“You

ought

to

get

your

parents

to

come

in

here

and

49

.”

The

boy

looked

destroyed.

50

, he put his savings book in a rear- pocket and walked out of the bank.

The offi

cer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got

51

.” I

couldn’t

believe

what

this

idiot

was

saying.

“We

were

52

this

morning

that

some

neighborhood bully has been shaking down (

敲诈

) this boy for more than a month. The other guy

was

53

him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was

54

too

scared

to

tell

anyone.

Anyway,

the

police

are

on

t

he

case

and

they’ll

probably

make

a(n)

55

today.

“You

mean

there

is

no

rule

about

being

too

young

to

withdraw

money

from

a

savings

account?”

“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

36. A. make

B. open

C. buy

D. choose

37. A. duty

B. board

C. display

D. show

C. over

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（

A

、

B

、

C

和

D

）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Did

you

ever

hear

of

“marriage

by

capture”?

Marriage

by

capture,

also

called

bride

kidnapping (

绑架

), has been practiced throughout history and around the world and goes back to

primitive culture when tribal groups were hostile (

敌视的

) to each other. While trying to conquer

a hostile tribe, the groom kidnapped the woman he wished to marry. The groom usually brought

along a fellow-

warrior as his “best man” to help kidnap the bride

-to-be.

The

bridesmaid,

or

the

maid

of

honor,

and

the

honeymoon

are

also

relics

(

遗产

)

of

bride

kidnapping. In the old days, the bridesmaids were the women who helped the bride to get captured

by the groom she wanted. Today a bridesmaid is one of the women who attend to the bride at a

wedding and is usually a sister or close friend of the bride. The practice of having a honeymoon

goes back to the time when the groom had to go into hiding with his kidnapped bride to avoid

being

discovered

by

her

relatives.

Today

many

newlyweds

still

keep

their

honeymoon

plans

a

secret from their relatives.

The custom of marriage by capture may have gradually led to marriage by purchase. In order

to

avoid

tribal

warfare,

the

groom

offered

to

pay

a

bride

price

to

the

bride’s

parents

a

s

compensation for their loss. The bride price is not the same as the dowry, which is the property a

bride brings to her husband upon the marriage to help establish the new household. Giving a bride

price is still practiced in many Asian countries.

The pr

actice of “giving the bride away” in the modern wedding ceremony originated from the

time when the bride’s parents arranged her marriage and gave or sold her to the groom. Today at

some

wedding

ceremonies,

the

minister

may

ask,

“Who

gives

this

woman

to

thi

s

man

in

marriage?” To show his approval, the father will reply, “I do” and then give his daughter away to

the groom by putting her hand into the groom’s hand.

In the modern world, marriage by capture is widely considered a sex crime, though it is still

practiced in some cultures, and marriage by purchase has almost died away. The modern version

of marriage is marriage by mutual love. In most countries today, marriage is governed by civil law.

Although

most

couples

celebrate

their

wedding

in

the

presence

of

a

priest,

rabbi,

or

minister,

depending

on

their

religious

beliefs,

they

must

have

the

official

marriage

license

to

make

their

marriage valid.

The modern marriage makes good use of many old traditions as symbols, making it colorful

and romantic. In the United States and many other countries, the new bonds between a married

couple are frequently represented by some old practices, such as the white wedding grown, the

bride being carried across the threshold (

门槛

) of the new home, the flower girls, the exchange of

wedding rings, the joining of hands, the throwing of rice, grain, or nuts, the wedding cake, and the

bridal kiss.

56. The function of the second paragraph is to explain _______.

A. a possible solution to a problem raised in the article

B. the origins of the maids of honor and the honeymoon

C. who should be bridesmaids and how long a honeymoon should last

D. why the maids of honor and the honeymoon are critical for newlyweds

57. We can infer from the article that _______.

A. a bride brings her husband a bride price to help establish the new household

B. today the old practice of “giving the bride away” still exists but runs differently

C. all of the old wedding practices are replaced by new ones

D. the practice of “giving the bride away” is considered illegal in most countries

58. All of the following are old wedding traditions EXCEPT _______.

A. giving the bride away

B. throwing rice, grain, or nuts

C. carrying the bride across the threshold

D. holding an official marriage license

59. This article is mainly about _______.

A. traditions of marriage

B. illegal bride kidnapping

C. modern wedding cultures across the world

D. how many marriage traditions have died away

B

The unique way someone walks can betray who they are with almost as much accuracy (

准确

性

) as fingerprints, scientists have found.

Researchers have developed a method that can identify a unique “pressure signature” in their

footsteps. By analyzin

g more than 100,000 pressure points created by people’s feet as they walk,

the scientists were able to pinpoint 70 key patterns that are unique to an individual. They hope the

system could provide a new form of “

bio

metric” identification that could work al

ongside retinal

(

视网膜的

)

scanning

and

fingerprints

at

airports.

The

only

trouble

is

that

the

system

can

only

identify people if they are not wearing shoes.

Dr

John

Goulermas,

an

electrical

engineer

at

the

University

of

Liverpool,

said

they

were

hoping to develop the system

so it will work when people are wearing shoes too. He said: “This is

more

complicated

as

the

stiffness

of

the

sole

and

the

treads

(

脚底的硬度和踩踏的强度

)

can

change things, but it should still be possible.” The researchers asked 104 volunteers to walk across

boards with thousands of highly sensitive pressure sensors. They recorded ten steps per person and

then analyzed how each person’s step changed to produce a unique profile for each person. When

asked to then identify individuals from their footsteps, the system was correct 99.6 per cent of the

time.

Researchers

have

been

investigating

the

unique

aspects

of

gait

(

步态

)

for

some

time

and

many

attempts

have

been

made

to

use

computer

recognition

software

to

detect

individuals.

Dr

Todd

Pataky,

who

led

the

research

at

Liverpool

University

but

has

since

moved

to

Shinshu

University in Tokida, Japan, added, “If we see a fami

ly member or a friend from a distance we can

identify that person based on their walk. Our feet are the only parts ofour body that interact with

the environment during walking so it is logical that an individual’s unique movement patterns are

transmitted via the feet to the ground. We are currently working on other checking whether other

information can be unraveled (

分解

) from foot pressures, including things like gender, age, and

exercise levels, but we expect that these characteristics will not be as well classified.”

60. According to the text, the aim of this research is to _______.

A. work out a possible solution to foot problems.

B. try out a system to improve people’s health

C. identify who someone is from his/her footsteps

D. develop a new computer recognition software

61. We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. the system can identify people under any conditions

B. family members and friends have the same way of walking

C. other information will possibly be known from the foot pressures

D. the system can ensure safety in any public places

62. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. How You Walk Can Betray You
