阅读短文,下列问题

    Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees (黑猩猩) live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller.

Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of food, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food is fruit.

    Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs using sticks, and break nuts using rocks.

    The world's forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter forests where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people's diseases and die. Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.

As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific researches. The young ones are taken away from the forests, and the adults are killed. Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the future.

(1)、Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of ________.  

A、Africa B、Asia C、Europe D、America 
(2)、Chimpanzees may feed on the following EXCEYPT_________.

A、insects B、bugs C、lions D、fruit       
(3)、Chimpanzees can break nuts using ________.

A、sticks B、rocks C、their teeth D、glass       
(4)、The underlined word “That”refers to the fact that _________.          

A、People hunt for chimpanzees B、Chimpanzees get sick more easily C、People enter the forests where chimpanzees live D、Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.
(5)、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?    

A、Chimpanzees can easily catch people's diseases and die. B、Young chimpanzees are taken away from the forests. C、Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific researches. D、Chimpanzees have already disappeared.

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.
I've always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook. Myspace—I've got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
Some online business are run from one- room home offices. Others have hundreds of employee(雇员)spread across five different continent. Have you ever heard of Amazon. com, Yahoo. com?
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal(交易)on Steve Madden boots that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my "e-commerceless"Web-surfing, unaware(不知道)of all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
"Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?" I asked her one day. Strange envelopes had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
"Oh, it's the things I ordered online!" she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
"How much did all of this coat?"
"Oh, only about $15in all!" She said excitedly. "Everything on eBay is on sale! It's way better than going to the mall."
I felt as if my entire life, there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

    There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.

    "I don't believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is," said Rory Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.

    He did the experiment in a small tank(鱼缸)of goldfish. "I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day I'd put it in and spread food around it." He said.

    "At first they were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in."

    After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.

    "They remembered perfectly well," he said.

    "They actually had a time faster than the average(平均)of the three feeds before I left."

    The goldfish showed that they not only could store information, but also had the ability to get it back at a later date.

    Culum Brown, a researcher at Sydney′s Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.

    He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish are smart animals that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.

    "The thing that I really liked about Rory′s experiment is that he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get thorn next just to that specific coloured marker. I thought it was really good." He said.

If you want to enter the subway, you have to hold your transportation card or smart phone in your hand. Would it be a trouble if you are busy with other things, such as taking care of your children or dogs. 

Now, good news has arrived for some passengers. A subway line in Shenzhen uses 3D facial recognition(人脸识别) technology to help recognize passengers. All they need to do is downloading(下载) the required app, and then they can enter the station just by looking into a screen at the gate for about 2 seconds. In this way, they can enter the subway more quickly than scanning a OR code (扫描二维码). The new technology greatly speeds up entry times. Now, about 30 to 40 passengers can pass through the entrance every minute. 

Facial recognition has been used in many other areas of our life. At KFC stores across China, customers can order their meals by scanning their faces in front of a self- serving screen. Customers used to carry bank cards or mobile phones to withdraw money, but now they can do that just by scanning their faces at the ATMs of banks. With the help of this technology, the security check(安检) step in the airport can be completed in about 12 seconds, according to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. 

Do you think facial recognition will totally take the place of OR codes?
