Question

10．The security industry exists to provide and ensure safety of the population．Teams of developers are constantly working on new devices to better protect not only the people but also their properties．Regular existing technologies such as GPS trackers are also being improved and used in innovative ways to prevent various criminal activities．
Named after Natalia Estemirova，a human rights activist who was kidnapped from her home and murdered within 24 hours，the Natalia Project is a bracelet （手鐲）handed out by the Civil Rights Defenders in hopes of preventing similar tragedies in the future．After all，a majority of human rights activists are situated in constant danger as they fight for freedom and equality．The chunky bracelet was able to produce satisfactory results．Once triggered（觸發(fā)），the bracelets will issue a real-time GPS location of the victim to the Civil Rights Defenders'headquarters．Nearby contacts will also be alerted so immediate action can be taken to rescue the victim．What's most unique about this bracelet is that it will also send an alert to social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to notify the public of the attack being placed on the victim．
These bracelets will first be distributed to a small group as funding is still a problem．The first five bracelets were distributed by the human rights organization on Defender's Day in Stockholm，Sweden，on Apr.5，2013．"We would like all human rights defenders at risk to have this alarm，but it costs a lot both for the alarm itself and to build an organization to respond to the alarms and to train the wearers of the alarm．Building a security program around each individual，matched to the specific needs of that person is a complex process．Needless to say，it takes a lot of time and effort to get an alarm up and running to ensure maximum protection for 365 days a year．"
Though the Civil Rights Defenders is an independent non-governmental expert organization，they do receive the support for their hard work through the Swedish Development Cooperation Agency．The potential for this bracelet to prevent kidnapping of regular children and citizens，if made available to the public，will also be endless．

點評 1、要想做好科普英語閱讀題，同學們就要注意平時多讀科普知識類文章，學習科普知識，積累常見的科普詞匯，從根本上提高科普英語的閱讀能力．
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結構特點．科普類文章一般由標題（Head line），導語（Introduction），背景（Back ground），主體（Main body）和結尾（End）五部分構成．標題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看，這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標題，而要同學們選擇標題．導語一般位于整篇文章的首段．背景交待一個事實的起因．主體則對導語概括的事實進行詳細敘述，這一部分命題往往最多，因此，閱讀時，同學們要把這部分作為重點．3、在進行推理判斷時，同學們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學事實為依據(jù)，同時所得出的結論還應符合基本的科普常識．
