After serving in the U. S. Navy (海军) for 20 years, being a Boeing flight

24、 instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China. Though he is an experienced pilot, he feels the same nervousness as he did on his first flight. Captain Webb said that the “Sept. 11“ i

25、ncident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work. “Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack,“ he said. “The main reason I came to China was that my children would have a chance to see the world and experience interna

26、tional living.“ Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies (紧急情况) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States. “The weather changes tend to be great from north to south.

35、s believed to be the future of banking. Instead of asking you for your PIN on a screen, the super teller Stella for short, asks you orally through a loudspeaker to look straight ahead while an infrared camera turns to your head, then your eye, and finally takes an infrared photograph of your iris (虹

36、膜). For identification purposes, an iris picture is better than a fingerprint, with around 256 noticeable characteristics compared with 40 for fingerprints. This means that the chances of someone else being recognized in your place is about 1 in 10 20 . Once you“ve been identified, Stella greets you

37、 by name and says, “Would you like cash or a statement?“ An infrared port allows the machine to send a bank statement straight to your palmtop computer.（分数：3.00）(1).What is this new machine called?（分数：1.00）A.Stella.B.ATM.C.PIN.D.NCR.(2).When you want to get cash out in the 21st century, you will _.（

40、e 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue(疲劳). Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘)

41、. A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver“s response. Tiredness is directly related to a driver“s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 millise

42、conds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver“s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that

43、the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the department“s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months“ time, are successful, the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.（分数：4.00）(1).Driver Alert _.（分数：1.00）A.has successful
