With increasing security requirements, it's likely your word/number combinations are becoming even less memorable. But new research suggests it may not be long before you won't need to memorize passwords.“Brainprint”, published in Neurocomputing, reveals that the brain's reaction to certain words could be a unique identifying code - like a fingerprint - that could eventually replace passwords.In a small experiment, the researchers measured the brains' signals of 45 volunteers as they read through a list of 75 acronyms such as FBI and DVD. The word-recognition response differed so much between each participant that a second experiment using a computer program could identify each one with 94% accuracy.It's not enough to feel totally secure, but promising enough to hint at the future of securing sensitive information.The advantage of using such a biometric system（生物识另U系统）is that it can be used for continuous verification（验证）,New Scientist points out. Passwords or fingerprints only provide a tool for one-off identification. Continuous verification could in theory allow someone to interact with many computer systems at the same time or even with a variety of intelligent objects, without having to repeatedly enter passwords for each device.As Hollywood has illustrated, it's simply a matter of cutting off a finger to steal that person's identity. “Brainprints, on the other hand, are potentially cancellable J said Sarah Laszlo, assistant professor of psychology and linguistics at Binghamton University and co-author of the study, “So, in the unlikely event that attackers were actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user, the authorized user could then 'reset' their brainprint.''Until now, brain signals have been a challenge to understand. This experiment leaped over the obstacle by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area that reads and recognizes words. The signal is therefore clearer and easier to measure.The problem, so far, is that the brain signal is still not as accurate as scanning someone's fingerprint, and initially requires sticking diodes（二极管）on your head in order to get a read. That's ok, according to Zhanpeng Jin, assistant professor at Binghamton University and coauthor of the study, because brainprint isn't going to be mass-produced any time soon. He says the researchers foresee its use at places such as the Pentagon, where the number of authorized users is small, and they don't need to be continuously verified the way you do to access your mobile device or email.Better keep your memory sharp, at least a little while longer.试卷第10页，共14页63.

"My mother's a teacher and my father a mechanic,he explains, adding that neither is knowledgeable about computers especially compared with him. 67Porios was taking a free class in machine learning offered by Andrew Ng, a professor at Stanford University, over an online platform Ng developed with his colleagues. Drawing on what he learned, Porios was able to participate in the International Space Apps Challenge, a virtual hackathon（编程马才立松）using data from NASA and other government agencies.If one teenager in one small city can become a genius hacker through an online course, does it mean the world has changed? We have been hearing about the potential of online education for decades.68 A number of online education platforms have appeared, featuring professors from top universities offering free courses.69 Ng was amazed. uIt would take me 250 years to teach this many people at Stanford/9 he says.And so, just one month into the course, Ng and his Stanford colleague, Daphne Koller, decided to leave their faculty posts(教职)and dive into online teaching full-time. In April, they launched their company, Coursera, with a $16 million round of venture funding. So far, it has managed to team up with 35 colleges in nine countries.To Ng and Koller, Coursera's mission is simple and yet grand. That is to teach millions of people around the world for free, while also transforming higher education.According to Ng, the world's top 20 universities enroll only about 200,000 students. There are million more who could participate in classwork at the higher level, but most of them are far from any of the leading universities.70Koller says Coursera's total registration has hit 15 million. Porios, the young Greek, is only one of those registrants. His hope is to study in Germany or England someday. He is even toying with the idea of taking classes at MIT or Stanford - but this time in person.A. Finally, it has taken a giant leap forward.B. All of the factors pushing online education toward the mainstream of higher education are now crashing together.C. Over the past few years, he has been teaching himself programming.D. In other words, Coursera's approach is a long way from a simple online video lecture.E. Yet the most exciting promise of their company and the like is the role they might play in improving education for the poor around the world.F. Ng's course in machine learning attracted 104,000 enrollees around the world.九、概要写作. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Fun Offices Make Workers Happier?In order to make their employees happier, companies around the world have been busy installing play equipment in the workplace. Table football, computer games and action figures have become common in some workplaces.Despite all this effort, unfortunately, work still makes people unhappy. According to a study by the London试卷第12页，共14页 School of Economics, the place where people feel most miserable is work.To proceed with an emphasis on being happy, however, other emotions are crowded out. Anger, sadness, anxiety and uncertainty all become a no-no. Such a ban on negative emotions can be emotionally bad for employees. A number of studies have shown that being able to express a range of positive and negative emotions is important, particularly when people are dealing with difficult experiences.Besides, being constantly on the lookout for happiness may actually drive happiness away from us. Scientists have found that when we talk about how important happiness is, we become less likely to find it, even when we have experiences that usually make us happy.Wanting to be happy at work is fair enough, but being forced to be happy at work can be troubling. If companies were genuinely interested in making their employees happy, they would perhaps look at some more "down-to-earth “ interventions（务实的干预）A simple step would be to stop interrupting workers with all sorts of pointless demands such as long emails and unnecessary forms. A study by Harvard Business School found workers felt most satisfied on days when they were able to focus on a piece of work and make meaningful progress on it.In short, if companies really want to make their employees happier, they should think long and hard before pointless restructuring.十、汉译英（整句）.这只训练有素的警犬对任何声响都很警觉。（alert）（汉译英）71 .利用好图书馆无疑会对你的学习有益。（doubt）（汉译英）.根据新的交通法规，机动车在任何情况下都得避让行人。（way）（汉译英）72 .共享单车不仅使用方便，而且价格合理，为短途出行提供了一种额外选择。（Not only）（汉译英）十一、建议信73 .

"There's no chance at all 22 it will hit anything,says Infinium Robotics chief executive Junyang Woon.The drones automatically charge while 23 (wait) in the kitchen. 24 the chef puts an order on the drone, he hits a button on a keypad and the drone automatically flies to one of two wait stations.Sense-and-avoid technology 25 (build) into the drone won't allow it to land at the wait station if anything is in its way. The drones are equipped with sonar(声呐系统)and an infrared sensor(红夕卜线传感器)，too.A waiter then removes the food or drink from the drone and hits a button 26 sends it back to the kitchen. The drones, weighing a little over five pounds,27carry just over four pounds of food.
