Nobel laureate C N． Yang and Turing Award winner Yao Qizhi have become Chinese
citizens and officially joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as academicians, the
academy's official faculty (科) office said on Tuesday, Feb 21st 2018.
They are the first overseas scientists to relinquish their foreign citizenship to join official
faculty of China's highest scientific research organization. Yang, 94, would join the mathematical
physics department, while Yao, 70, would enter the information technology and science
department.
“They are both internationally distinguished scholars，” the faculty office said in a press
statement. “Their entry into the academy's faculty will increase the influence of China's scientific
circles globally.”
Yang and his colleague Li Zhengdao received the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work
on parity nonconservation of weak interaction, becoming the first Chinese to win a Nobel Prize.
Yao received the Turing Award, the most famous award in computer science, in 2000 “in
recognition of his fundamental contributions to the theory of computation, including the theory of
pseudorandom number generation, cryptography, and communication complexity.”
In late 2017, both scientists gave up their foreign nationality and submitted their request to
join the academy. The office had to carry out new procedures to accept them.
In recent years, the office is actively trying to build a “big academician family” ，
connecting wellknown scholars around the world to contribute to China's major scientific

2022·郑州质量预测 说明文 365词 ★★★★☆
Imagine you're standing in line to buy a snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the
cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR Code (二维码) with
your smart phone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a
camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.
Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away
from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征识别的) security, which includes fingerprint,
face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.
In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smart phones with a fingerprint
scanner. Since then, using one's fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has
become a commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since 2016, Samsung has featured
eyescanning technology in its top smart phones, while Apple's new iphone X can even scan a
user's face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we
imagine. “Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much，” said John Michener, a
biometrics expert.
When introducing the new iPhone's face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice-
president, said. “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhones X
and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” But it's already been done. In a videoposted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock
the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren't even twins.
“We may expect too much from biometrics，” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at
Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”
Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a
thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smart phone for the police, according to a tech
website Splinter. “It's good to see biometrics being used more，” Jain told CBS News,
“because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best
defense.”
5．Which is the latest identification technology in a smart phone according to the passage?
A．Face scanning.
B．Eye scanning.
C．QR Code scanning.
D．Fingerprint scanning.
6．What is a major problem of the iPhone X's face ID system?
A．It takes too long to unlock the phone.
B．It often fails to recognize its owner's face.
C．Face data can be used for other purposes.
D．Different faces can be used to unlock the same phone.
7．What is Anil Jain's opinion about biometric security?
A．It is as secure as traditional measures.
B．It is perfect without much improvement.
C．It has caused much trouble for the police.
D．It should be used with other security measures.
8．What does the author intend to tell us in this passage?
A．The popularity of biometrics.
B．Security problems of biometrics.
C．Various problems with biometrics.
D．Great changes caused by biometrics.
