Some people in Manchester, Britain, will soon be paying for goods and services with so-called “smart” credit cards. These cards are more secure than the traditional magnetic-strip version and can be used to travel on buses, check bank accounts and do shopping.

The Manchester project is one of the biggest smart card schemes in the world. Every time people use the cards on a bus or train, the fare is deducted (reduced) from the value of the card. When they have no credit left, the cards can be recharged at a local shop.

A smart card looks just like a normal plastic card but it has a silicon chip in it. It is possible for the same silicon chip to perform a number of different functions, so one plastic card in your pocket could do a large number of different jobs. The card has much more memory space than a magnetic-strip card, so many more things can be recorded on it.There are two types of smart cards. One is the contact card which is used in the same way as a magnetic-strip card.

Information is transferred by running the card through a narrow opening in an electronic reader. In the slot, electronic probes make contact with the magnetic-strip or silicon ship and read the information. The other type is the contactless smart card where the electronic reader communicates with the card by short-range radio waves. This makes the card quicker and more convenient to use because it does not have to leave your wallet. It is also more reliable as it is not easily influenced by scratches or dirt. However, the biggest advantage that smart cards have over magnetic-strip cards is that they are more secure. They are much more difficult to make than conventional cards and they have to be made by specially trained manufacturers. In addition, they have a large number of extra security features on them and if a smart card gets lost or stolen a quick phone-call to the distributor ensures that its individual number is made invalid and unreadable. This can be done more quickly than with a magnetic-strip card.

1.A smart credit card can do many kinds of jobs because ____ .

A. it is smart B. it is a plastic card

C. it has a silicon chip in it D. it can be recharged

2.“ The cards can be recharged” means that ____ .

A. the card can be put into a new charge of electricity

B. the cards can be changed into new ones

C. the cards can be put to use again

D. the cards can be recycled

3.What are the advantages of smart credit cards over traditional ones?

A. they can store more information B. they are more secure

C. they are more convenient to use D. all of the above

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Contactless cards are more convenient to use than contact ones

B. Smart cards are more expensive to manufacturer

C. By means of long-range radio waves contactless cards can communicate with the electronic reader

D. A smart credit card and a normal plastic card are the same thing

A Smashing tradition: MIT Students Drop Piano

One of the highlights of the school year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology only lasts a few seconds but has a big influence. Residents of an MIT dormitory dropped an upright piano from their roof on 26th April to celebrate the last day students can drop classes without having them appear on their college report.

About 200 onlookers watched as the piano crashed into a second piano, a baby grand, positioned on the ground six stories below for a better smash. People scrambled (爭先恐后) for souvenir pieces-keys, hammers, strings and splinters. The tradition began in 1972 at the Baker House dormitory and has been observed irregularly until 2006 when it became an annual event.

Crafton Family Comes Back Home after 7 Years at Sea

While most of us will love to go on a vacation for a week or two on a small private sailboat, without doubt, spending seven precious years on sea is something most of us will never imagine or dare to do. However, that is what an American family has done. Tom Crafton and Kathy Crafton along with their three children have traveled across the world on their 43-foot sailboat named Nueva Vida. Over the past seven years the family had sailed 30,000 miles and visited more than 20 different countries. The family has recently come back to their homeland.

1.Which of the following is true about the first incident?

A. The typical style of celebration has been kept alive every year since1972.

B. Another small piano on the ground is meant to hold the falling one.

C. The students dropped the piano in celebration of their graduation.

D. The tradition became an annual event for MIT students several years ago.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆福建省晉江市高二下學(xué)期期末英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

A culture’s values can be mirrored by its humor．Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who，in“On Nature”，disliked humor,“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others．”He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness．

However, Mordechai Gordon，Ph. D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view the

world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious．”1 agree with Gordon．Learning to look

at the world through humor is important．

In the United States，every four years an election occurs．Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the

way of lemming? Television shows like“The Daily Show”have become important parts of American culture．They are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隱喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths．They make politics fun．

Of course, politics is only one type of humor．Social humor helps people through the twists

and turns of the human condition．American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self image．On the topic of self-image，Hari Kondabolu stands out．He has a joke about the popular musical group“The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song“Don't Cha”as a negative representation of women．He points out an obvious offence in American culture．

A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner．Amongst other things，mates look for an outstanding funny

bone in a potential partner．

Of course，humor is not always used for good purposes．Humor can be linked to vulgarity

(粗俗)and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing

us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another．

Though 1ife may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皺紋) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn’t

aware of．

With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity．

1.Hobbes believes that humor__________．

A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better

B．resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings

C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values

D．was for people to view the world from another angle

2.What is the author’s attitude towards political humor?

A．Worried B．Disappointed

C．Curious D．Appreciative

3.The fourth paragraph is developed mainly__________．

A．by example B．by process

C．by comparison D．by classification

4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A．Chaplin wasn’t aware of being laughed at

B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older

C．Never be the one who laughs at other people

D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor．
