科技应用
Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s,fingerprints(指纹) were the easiest way to solve serious crimes(犯罪活动).It’s believed that each one of us has our own fingerprint.But did you know that our fingerprints could show a lot about us?
According to The Conversation,fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment,eating habits,possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
So how can we work all this out from just a simple fingerprint?
Well,a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface.Most fingerprints can’t be seen to the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown.Stuck between the raised lines of a fingerprint are things that can tell a story about who we are.Things like sweat,blood and food show a lot of information about us.
Besides,its use could be much wider.For example,it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients.A fingerprint check may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly having a medicine.In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses,having proper medicine is important.
In the future,fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
4.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?    (A)
A.DNA can be used to solve serious crimes.
B.Fingerprints may show everything about us.
C.We didn’t begin to use fingerprints until 1980s.
D.Fingerprints are now the easiest way to solve crimes.
5.What can make a fingerprint tell a story about us?    (D)
A.The chemical development.
B.A finger touching a surface.
C.The fact that it can be seen clearly.
D.The things stuck between raised lines.
6.How may doctors know about patients according to the passage?    (C)
A.Through a physical exam.
B.Through a blood test.
C.Through a fingerprint check.
D.Through a health check.
7.What will the fingerprint’s future use be like?    (A)
A.It will be more widely used.
B.It will not be properly used.
C.It will be better than DNA.
D.It will not be very helpful.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过指纹获取信息以及指纹的其他用途。
4.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s,fingerprints were the easiest way to solve serious crimes.”可知，在20世纪80年代发现DNA信息之前，指纹是解决严重犯罪的最简单方法。由此可推测，DNA可被用来解决重大犯罪问题。
