Question

Anyone who has ever lost keys or money will have wished for a simple but effective way to make sure it never happens again. A US company is trying to help.

Using a tiny microchip which is implanted into the arm, they have come up with a replacement for cash or credit cards that cannot be left at home or dropped on the bus.

The Verichip is about the size of a grain of rice and works using radio frequency  identification technology. At a shop, a radio frequency “reader” would send a signal and the chip in your arm would respond with your unique identity number. That would give the “reader” your financial information, and money could be taken directly from your accounts and you wouldn't even have to reach for your wallet.

The company also hopes to include other information on the chip, such as medical records, building security codes(密碼) and passwords, making life even easier.

But not everyone is happy with the developments. Critics say that a lot can go wrong with the chip. A clever thief could build a fake(假的) reader that would steal your information without you knowing. So your money could still be stolen. Privacy is a big issue too. Stores, or even the government, only need to track the chip to find out what you buy, how much you spend and where you go.

And if you wanted to get rid of your chip,you would need an operation to remove it.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.C

2.A

3.D

4.C

5.D

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了新型的產(chǎn)品芯片—它能置在人的胳膊上，來幫助顧客在購物時，可以根據(jù)特定的代碼，顧客不用付費就從他們的賬戶中付賬了。但是這難免有一些賊，用一些假的閱讀器把顧客的信息盜走，從而在顧客不知情的情況下，把錢給偷走了，所以這就需要這種芯片做進一步的改善及提高。

1.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)microchip which is implanted into the arm, they have come up with a replacement for cash or credit cards that cannot be left at home or dropped on the bus.和The Verichip is about the size of a grain of rice and works using radio frequency  identification technology. 故選C。

2.這是段落大意題。根據(jù)At a shop, a radio frequency “reader” would send a signal and the chip in your arm would respond with your unique identity number. That would give the “reader” your financial information, and money could be taken directly from your accounts and you wouldn't even have to reach for your wallet.介紹了芯片的工作原理，故選A。

3.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)And if you wanted to get rid of your chip,you would need an operation to remove it.如想取出芯片，必須去做手術(shù)，故選D。

4.這是推理判斷題。根據(jù)But not everyone is happy with the developments. Critics say that a lot can go wrong with the chip.這種芯片還需提高以便讓更多的人去接受，故選C。

5.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Anyone who has ever lost keys or money will have wished for a simple but effective way to make sure it never happens again. A US company is trying to help.作者主要來介紹這種芯片，故選D。

考點：這是科普類閱讀。

點評：一個段落通常包含一個表達中心思想的主題句和若干與中心思想有關(guān)或為其提供論據(jù)的支持性句子。抓住段落的主題句是閱讀理解的關(guān)鍵，主題句多位于段落的開頭，有的在段中，有的在句尾，還有的主題句隱藏在段落的字里行間，需要學(xué)生自己總結(jié)和歸納。
