Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.‎ Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric security (生物识别技术), which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.‎ In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.‎ But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.‎ ‎“Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometrics expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”‎ When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random  person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.”‎ But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.‎ ‎“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”‎ Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter.‎ ‎“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.”‎ ‎32. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?‎ A. QR code scanning. B. Eye scanning.‎ C. Face scanning. D. Fingerprint scanning.‎ ‎33. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system?‎ A. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.‎ B. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.‎ C. Face data could be used for other purposes.‎ D. It takes too long to unlock the phone.‎ ‎34. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?‎ A. It should be used with other security measures. ‎ B. It has caused much trouble for police.‎ C. It’s more secure than traditional measures.‎ D. It still needs much improvement.‎ ‎35. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.‎ A. describe the popularity of biometrics B. discuss the security problems of biometrics ‎ C. show how biometrics has changed our lives D. point out various problems with biometrics 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The new school year is right around the corner, and the adjustment to returning to school may take a few weeks. 36 Kids today are faced with far more than learning new material. Interacting with teachers and other students, bullying (欺凌), peer (伙伴) pressure and school violence are just a few of the challenges children face.‎ The Kern County Sheriff ˊs Office would like to provide the following tips for parents on how to protect your children, and how to teach them to protect themselves.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ Map out a safe way for your children to walk to school or to the bus stop.‎ Teach your children to always be aware of their surroundings. 38 Choose a different route or walk on the opposite side of the street.‎ Bus Safety Make sure your children arrive at least five minutes early for the bus.‎ Be aware that bullying often happens on the bus. Ask your children about their bus rides, who they sit with, and what goes on in the bus. 39 .‎ After School ‎ 40 It could be your parents or any of your neighbors who can take care of your children for you. Make sure they inform you of it the moment your children arrive home.‎ At School Teach your children to resolve problems without fighting. Many parents mislead their children to solve problems by force in fear that their children may be bullied at school, which will only lead to more trouble. Anyway，encourage your children to report bullying behavior, either as a victim or a witness.‎ A. Be aware of slow moving vehicles or parked vehicles that appear to be occupied.‎ B. Preparing for School C. Have your children check in with an adult as soon as they get home. ‎ D. Some kids just can’t wait to return to school after a long holiday.‎ E. Encourage them to report any bullying behavior on the bus.‎ F. Getting to School G. Returning to school can be fun and exciting, but it can also be difficult for some children.‎ 第三部分: 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I used to believe politeness was a thing of the past.

The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing 63 (happen).‎ When kids fall down, they don’t refer 64 the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider 65 as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I 66 (impress) by the boy’s strong mind, I was touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as 67 (good) as he could. He was just being a child—just being himself—being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that 68 (fall)down was simply a part of life. He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about 69 someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely.‎ I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many 70 (part) of my life.‎ 第三部分 写作 （共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用(＼)划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ Dear Mary, ‎ ‎ I receive your Email yesterday.
