This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drovemore slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At the moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.4. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when___.A.they offer their helpB.they receive others' helpC.they feel others' kindnessD.they show their weakness5. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A.They sped up to pass.B.They waited with patience.C.They tried their best to help.D.They put on their flashlights too.6. In this passage, the author advises us to_______.A.handle problems by ourselvesB.accept help from othersC.admit our weaknessD.show our bravery7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Wheelchair Experience.B.Weakness and Kindness.C.Weakness and Strength.D.A Driving Experience.三、（2021·江西上高二中高三月考）Most online fraud (诈骗) involves identity theft. Passwords help. But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics (生物统计学), is gaining ground.It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today's devices. These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored to show the distinctive ways in which someone s fingers and hands move. These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a transaction (交易) is likely to be the device' s habitual user.Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual's “ unique motion fingerprint”, says John Whaley, head of Unifyid, a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field. When coupled with information about a user 's finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device' s regular places of use- as revealed by its GPS unit- that user's identity can be pretty well determined.Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit. In fact, Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once. the pace of the driver, as measured by his phone, is recognised. Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people s privacy, permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night.8.What is behavioural biometrics for?A.To ensure network security.B.To identify network crime.C.To track online fraud.D.To gather online data.9.How does behavioural biometrics work?A.By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users.B.By spotting and revealing a device's regular places of use.C.By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices.D.By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices.10.What's the author's attitude towards behavioural biometrics?A.Doubtful.B.Concerned.C.Objective.D.Favorable.11.From which section of a magazine can this passage possibly be taken?A.Health and wealth.B.Science and technology.C.Finance and economics.D.Books and arts.四、（2021·江西新建一中假期检测性考试）Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a "vocabulary" of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member."That's what's so amazing about chimp gestures," she said. "They're the only thing that looks like huma n language in that respect. ”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal's call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling:" Climb on me. " The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. "The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so that's not unique to humans," said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were "a little disappointing"."The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions," she said. "Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. "12. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?A.Memorizing specific words.B.Understanding complex information.ing voices to communicate.municating messages on purpose.13. What did Dr Shultz think of the study?A.It was well designed but poorly conducted.B.It was a good try but the findings were limited.C.It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.D.It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.14. What does the underlined word "gulf" in the last paragraph mean?A.Difference.B.Conflict.C.Balance.D.Connection.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughB.Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsC.Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD.Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated五、（2021·河南新乡县第一中学高三二模）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。
