As data and identity theft becmes mre and mre cmmn, the market is grwing fr bimetric(生物测量) technlgies—like fingerprint scans—t keep thers ut f private e-spaces. At present, these technlgies are still expensive, thugh.
Researchers frm Gergia Tech say that they have cme up with a lw-cst device(装置) that gets arund this prblem: a smart keybard. This smart keybard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which ne types and the pressure fingers apply t each key. The keybard culd ffer a strng layer f security by analyzing things like the frce f a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique t each persn. Thus, the keybard can determine peple’s identities, and by extensin, whether they shuld be given access t the cmputer it's cnnected t—regardless f whether smene gets the passwrd right.
It als desn't require a new type f technlgy that peple aren't already familiar with. Everybdy uses a keybard and everybdy types differently.
In a study describing the technlgy, the researchers had 100 vlunteers type the wrd “tuch” fur times using the smart keybard. Data cllected frm the device culd be used t recgnize different participants based n hw they typed, with very lw errr rates. The researchers say that the keybard shuld be pretty straightfrward t cmmercialize and is mstly made f inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hpes t make it t market in the near future.
28. Why d the researchers develp the smart keybard?

C. T replace the passwrd system. D. T cut the cst f e-space prtectin.
29. What makes the inventin f the smart keybard pssible?
A. Cmputers are much easier t perate. B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develp fast.
C. Typing patterns vary frm persn t persn. D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
30. What d the researchers expect f the smart keybard?
A. It'll be envirnment-friendly. B. It'll reach cnsumers sn.
C. It'll be made f plastics. D. It'll help speed up typing.
31. Where is this text mst likely frm?

Fr thse wh can stmach it, wrking ut befre breakfast may be mre beneficial fr health than eating first, accrding t a study f meal timing and physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have lng knwn that meal timing affects perfrmance. Hwever, far less has been knwn abut hw meal timing and exercise might affect general health.
T find ut, British scientists cnducted a study. They first fund 10 verweight and inactive but therwise healthy yung men, whse lifestyles are, fr better and wrse, representative f thse f mst f us. They tested the men's fitness and resting metablic(新陈代谢的) rates and tk samples(样品) f their bld and fat tissue.
Then, n tw separate mrning visits t the scientists' lab, each man walked fr an hur at an average speed that, in thery shuld allw his bdy t rely mainly n fat fr fuel. Befre ne f these wrks, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised n a cmpletely empty stmach after a lng vernight fast(禁食). On the ther ccasin, they ate a rich mrning meal abut tw hurs befre they started walking.
Just befre and an hur after each wrkut, the scientists tk additinal samples f the men's bld and fat tissue.
Then they cmpared the samples. There were cnsiderable differences. Mst bviusly, the men displayed lwer bld sugar levels at the start f their wrks when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned mre fat during walks n an empty stmach than when they had eaten first. On the ther hand, they burned slightly mre calries(卡路里), n average, during the wrkut after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the mst significant, the researchers fund Multiple genes behaved differently, depending n whether smene had eaten r nt befre walking. Many f these genes prduce prteins(蛋白质) that can imprve bld sugar regulatin and insulin(胰岛素) levels thrughut the bdy and s are assciated with imprved metablic health. These genes were much mre active when the men had fasted befre exercise than when they had breakfasted.
The implicatin f these results is that t gain the greatest health benefits frm exercise, it may be wise t skip eating first.
32. The underlined expressin “stmach it” in Paragraph 1 mst prbably means“_________”.
A. digest the meal easily B. manage withut breakfast
C. decide wisely what t eat D. eat whatever is ffered
33. Why were the 10 peple chsen fr the experiment?
A. Their lifestyles were typical f rdinary peple. B. Their lack f exercise led t verweight.
C. They culd walk at an average speed. D. They had slw metablic rates.
34. What happened t thse wh ate breakfast befre exercise?
A. They successfully lst weight. B. They cnsumed a bit mre calries.
C. They burned mre fat n average. D. They displayed higher insulin levels.
35. What culd be learned frm the research?
A. A wrkut after breakfast imprves gene perfrmances.
B. T much wrkut ften slws metablic rates.
C. Lifestyle is nt as imprtant as mrning exercise.
D. Physical exercise befre breakfast is better fr health.

第二节（共1小题；满分25分）
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者因为车祸失去双腿。为了家人，他表现得很坚强，幸运的是，家人和朋友一直给予他帮助。有一天，朋友让他给一个叫David的人打电话。两人联系上之后，作者得知David有一个健身中心，这个健身中心帮助身体有障碍的人通过训练回归正常生活。
【思路点拨】
根据审题分析以及段首语，我们来分别构思两个续写段落。
1. 原文的故事情节发展到我得知David的健身中心可以通过训练帮助有身体障碍的人回归正常生活。续写首段首句：“我填写了表格，几乎马上就被接纳入班了。”续写第二段首句：“这时，David建议我找一份工作。”这两句话就确定了续写首段的写作框架，下面我们来构思这段的内容。
•What made the authr decide t fill ut the applicatin?这里可以展开描写，通过David和员工的介绍以及体验课程，作者明白了只有通过训练才能让自己的体能恢复。
•What wuld the authr d in the gym and hw wuld he feel?这里主要描写他接受了艰苦的训练之后让自己重获新生的经历。
2. 续写第二段的构思如下。
. What happened t the authr after his health gt better?我们可以合理猜测他接受David的建议找到工作并且有所成就。
. What cnclusin did the authr draw frm his experience?他逐渐意识到生命的意义在于不断地努力超越自我。
参考范文：
Paragraph1:
I filled ut an applicatin, almst immediately accepted int class. S I started t wrk ut there. I dared nt cmplain abut the pain because I knew I culdn't give up. I ended up ging thrugh a few different classes. The first few weeks started giving my life back. Quickly. I came t realize I can d anything nw that I culd befre, sme things better. I was ready fr anything.
Paragraph 2:
At this time, David advised me t find a jb. Accepting his advice, I succeeded in finding a jb which culd supprt me. I was happy t have such a friend and trainer. When I was lying in the hspital bed, I knew I had a new life t start and I was just ready t start it. I've learned t be patient. Things take time t build. I ften g back t the Adaptive Training Fundatin, wrking as a vlunteer trainer t help thers. I help ut anywhere , anyhw I can. And I spend time with my family. Life is great.
【范文评析】
S I started t wrk ut there. 与段首句紧密衔接，作者开始了康复训练。
I dared nt cmplain abut the pain细微的心理活动体现了作者坚强的品质。
I ended up ging thrugh a few different classes. 在描写训练的过程时，可以重点描述某个经历以使故事情节更丰满。
Quickly. I came t realize I can d anything nw that I culd befre, sme things better. 经过训练作者感觉自己的生活又回来了，与续写第二段顺利衔接。
Accepting his advice, I succeeded in finding a jb 采用非谓语结构,增加了句式的多样性。
I ften g back t the Adaptive Training Fundatin, wrking as a vlunteer trainer t help thers. 作者去当志愿者帮助他人并感恩生命的伟大，体现了积极向上的人生态度。
