[单项选择]第二篇 Ford’s Assembly Line
When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars-one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses(屠宰场).
Back in the early 1900’s, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a “disassembly line”. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened.
“The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged
A. He introduced a new way of production.
B. He influenced all manufacturing.
C. He inspired other auto makers.
D. He changed a historian’s mind.

[单项选择]第二篇 Credit Card Only Works When Spoken to
A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner’s voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud(欺骗).
The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built-in

A model built by engineers at Beepcard in Santa Monica,California,represents the first attempt to pack a microphone。a loudspeaker,a battery and a voice recognition chip into a standard.sized credit card.
They are not quite there yet:the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card,but it is still about three times as thick.The company now plans to make it thinner.
The voice card is based on an earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in
online transactions This earlier card has no microphone,but has a built in loudspeaker that i
A. it can be made cost-effectively.
B. it can leave voice messages,
C. it makes online shopping easy
D. it makes fraud difficult.
[单项选择]第二篇When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach
Our senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world; they’re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who’ve just eaten.
Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-level thinking processes get involved.
Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; o
A. humans’ senses are influenced by what’s going on in their heads.
B. they have sharper senses than others.
C. they lose their senses because of poverty and hunger.
D. humans’ senses are affected by what they see with their eyes.
