  • 阅读理解。
         Quickly, the picture comes alive with hyperlinks (超链接), offering the names of the buildings,
    towers and street features that appear in the photo.The hyperlinks lead to information about the
    history, services and context of all the features in the photo.You have just hyperlinked your reality.
         That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination.This
    is not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a working technology
    just developed by European researchers.It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.
         This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer.It develops a completely new interface
    (界面) that combines webtechnology with the real world.It is big and fresh, but it goes much further
    and has much greater influence.
         The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has
    long been pregnant with promise, but seemed to suffer from an unending labour.
         Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition; it has also developed more applications
    for the technology; and it has adapted it to the world's most popular technology: the mobile phone.
         The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your physical
    environment.The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象).These panoramas form the basis of a
    city database.It can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the panoramas. A
    user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the user's photograph to the
    panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned.
         Then you simply click on the links, using a touchscreen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide
    information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant, of the building in question.
    1.Which is introduced in the passage?
    A.A new game software.
    B.A popular mobile phone.
    C.A cool small machine.
    D.An image recognition system.
    2.What can we learn about the new technology?
    A.It can only be put into use on mobile phones.
    B.It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination.
    C.It has taken an unending labour to bring the technology into our lives.
    D.It will encourage the users to take more pictures of the street features.
    3.What is the right order of the operation of MOBVIS?
    a.A city database forms in the system.
    b.MOBVIS recognizes the picture and links are returned.
    c.A user touches the links on the phone screen.
    d.A user takes a picture of the street feature.

    Dear Abby,                                                               
         How are you? Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you.         
    I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my      
    further education. One hundred and twenty students took exam          
    for it ,but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However,     
    my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me         
    going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me    
    for a whole year and they are afraid of I will feel lonely. They      
    can’t imagine a girl so young live alone. They advise me to study    
    in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living without    
    them. How can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?     
         Best wishes.                                                                                                
    Yours,                                                                 
    John
