10、checking account. The only officer on 37 was a fortyish black man, standing 38 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater.

11、 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and 42 an expression of disappointment. “But I dont understand.

Marriage by capture, also called bride kidnapping (绑架),has been practiced throughout history and around the
20、world and goes back to primitive culture when tribal groups were hostile (敌视的) to each other. While trying to conquer a hostile tribe, the groom kidnapped the woman he wished to marry. The groom usually brought along a fellow-warrior as his “best man” to help kidnap the bride-to-be. The bridesmaid,
21、or the maid of honor, and the honeymoon are also relics (遗产) of bride kidnapping. In the old days, the bridesmaids were the women who helped the bride to get captured by the groom she wanted. Today a bridesmaid is one of the women who attend to the bride at a wedding and is usually a sister or close
22、 friend of the bride. The practice of having a honeymoon goes back to the time when the groom had to go into hiding with his kidnapped bride to avoid being discovered by her relatives. Today many newlyweds still keep their honeymoon plans a secret from their relatives. The custom of marriage by capt
23、ure may have gradually led to marriage by purchase. In order to avoid tribal warfare, the groom offered to pay a bride price to the brides parents as compensation for their loss. The bride price is not the same as the dowry, which is the property a bride brings to her husband upon the marriage to he
24、lp establish the new household. Giving a bride price is still practiced in many Asian countries. The practice of “giving the bride away” in the modern wedding ceremony originated from the time when the brides parents arranged her marriage and gave or sold her to the groom. Today at some wedding cere
25、monies, the minister may ask, “Who gives this woman to this man in marriage?” To show his approval, the father will reply, “I do” and then give his daughter away to the groom by putting her hand into the grooms hand. In the modern world, marriage by capture is widely considered a sex crime, though i
26、t is still practiced in some cultures, and marriage by purchase has almost died away. The modern version of marriage is marriage by mutual love. In most countries today, marriage is governed by civil law. Although most couples celebrate their wedding in the presence of a priest, rabbi, or minister,
27、depending on their religious beliefs, they must have the official marriage license to make their marriage valid. The modern marriage makes good use of many old traditions as symbols, making it colorful and romantic. In the United States and many other countries, the new bonds between a married coupl
28、e are frequently represented by some old practices, such as the white wedding grown, the bride being carried across the threshold (门槛) of the new home, the flower girls, the exchange of wedding rings, the joining of hands, the throwing of rice, grain, or nuts, the wedding cake, and the bridal kiss.
29、56. The function of the second paragraph is to explain _. A. a possible solution to a problem raised in the article B. the origins of the maids of honor and the honeymoonC. who should be bridesmaids and how long a honeymoon should last D. why the maids of honor and the honeymoon are critical for new
30、lyweds57. We can infer from the article that _. A. a bride brings her husband a bride price to help establish the new household B. today the old practice of “giving the bride away” still exists but runs differently C. all of the old wedding practices are replaced by new onesD. the practice of “givin
31、g the bride away” is considered illegal in most countries58. All of the following are old wedding traditions EXCEPT _. A. giving the bride away B. throwing rice, grain, or nutsC. carrying the bride across the thresholdD. holding an official marriage license 59. This article is mainly about _. A. tra
32、ditions of marriageB. illegal bride kidnappingC. modern wedding cultures across the worldD. how many marriage traditions have died awayBThe unique way someone walks can betray who they are with almost as much accuracy (准确性) as fingerprints, scientists have found. Researchers have developed a method
33、that can identify a unique “pressure signature” in their footsteps. By analyzing more than 100,000 pressure points created by peoples feet as they walk, the scientists were able to pinpoint 70 key patterns that are unique to an individual. They hope the system could provide a new form of “biometric”
34、 identification that could work alongside retinal (视网膜的) scanning and fingerprints at airports. The only trouble is that the system can only identify people if they are not wearing shoes. Dr John Goulermas, an electrical engineer at the University of Liverpool, said they were hoping to develop the s
35、ystem so it will work when people are wearing shoes too. He said: “This is more complicated as the stiffness of the sole and the treads (脚底的硬度和踩踏的强度) can change things, but it should still be possible.” The researchers asked 104 volunteers to walk across boards with thousands of highly sensitive pre
36、ssure sensors. They recorded ten steps per person and then analyzed how each persons step changed to produce a unique profile for each person. When asked to then identify individuals from their footsteps, the system was correct 99.6 per cent of the time. Researchers have been investigating the uniqu
37、e aspects of gait (步态) for some time and many attempts have been made to use computer recognition software to detect individuals. Dr Todd Pataky, who led the research at Liverpool University but has since moved to Shinshu University in Tokida, Japan, added, “If we see a family member or a friend fro
38、m a distance we can identify that person based on their walk. Our feet are the only parts ofour body that interact with the environment during walking so it is logical that an individuals unique movement patterns are transmitted via the feet to the ground. We are currently working on other checking
39、whether other information can be unraveled (分解) from foot pressures, including things like gender, age, and exercise levels, but we expect that these characteristics will not be as well classified.” 60. According to the text, the aim of this research is to _. A. work out a possible solution to foot
40、problems. B. try out a system to improve peoples health C. identify who someone is from his/her footstepsD. develop a new computer recognition software61. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the system can identify people under any conditionsB. family members and friends have the same way of wa
41、lking C. other information will possibly be known from the foot pressures D. the system can ensure safety in any public places 62. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How You Walk Can Betray You B. New Technology Has Been Invented C. Two Scientists Have Got a Good I
42、deaD. Character Has Something to Do With FootstepsCBEIJINGEye doctors in the capital are expressing confidence in laser (激光) eye surgery, or LASIK, despite the safety concerns that a Taiwan specialist raised this week. Ray Tsai, an ophthalmologist and LASIK pioneer, told Taiwan media on Tuesday that
43、 he plans to stop performing the surgeries after learning that some patients who had undergone it had experienced sudden losses of vision and had developed other complications (并发症). Industry analysts estimate that 1.5 million LASIK eye operations are performed on the mainland a year, each costing a
44、t least 6,000 yuan ($953). Wang Enpu, dean of the ophthalmology department of the Air Force General Hospital in Beijing, said no countries or regions in the world have stopped LASIK treatments, the effectiveness of which has been proved. “As long as surgeons follow the correct procedures, Ive never
45、seen a single patient come back because of complications caused by the surgery,” said Wang. He said LASIK is known to lead to fewer complications than other types of eye surgery. He also said the technology used in the procedure has improved during the past 10 years. Even so, he said patients who un
46、dergo the surgery may have to wait a fairly long time afterward for their corneas to heal. He also said that those parts of their eyes will forever be weaker and more susceptible to damage. “Anyone has to be more careful for the rest of his life with a part of the body that has undergone surgery,” h
47、e said. “Most hospitals offer free eye checkups for a year after the surgery.”The US Food and Drug Administration says LASIK, like most operations, involves risks. It also said patients should be made aware of the complications that can arise from a treatment before they undergo it. At the same time
48、, the administration said most US patients who had undergone LASIK express satisfaction with the surgerys results.Chen Bang, board director of Air Eye Hospital Group, a leading ophthalmological institution in China, said in his micro blog that his hospital had performed the surgery on about 550,000 eyes and the incidence (发病率) of post-operation adverse reactions was only 0.6 percent. “Doctors in China must also pass special exams to be qualified to operate laser machines. Despite that precaution, there have been irregul
