1、Intelligent Machines1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson\'s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is authｏｒof the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines ａｎｄ　is one of the world\'s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona； the virtual (虚拟的) hostess of Kurzweil\'s homepage, who is programmed to understａｎｄ　what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, ａｎｄ　Ramona also dances ａｎｄ　sings.3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world", he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒ(探测器) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees.4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". This invention will recognize millions of words ａｎｄ　understａｎｄ　any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to trans late into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won\'t be ready fｏｒat least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.Blind people will be able to see the world with ____.【单选题】

A.what you say

B.a pair of sunglasses

C.the listening machine

D.a visual sensor

E.who have disabilities

F.living forever in a computer

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题难度也不大，针对第三段后半部分出题，考生可根据题干提示词回到文章定位，找到第三段，Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒwhich will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees. 回来再看选项，很明显，答案是D。

2、Robotic Highway ConesA University of Nebraska professｏｒhas developed robotic cones ａｎｄ　barrels. These robotic cones ａｎｄ　barrels can move out of the way, ｏｒinto place, from computer commands made miles away. .They can even be programmed to move on their own at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professｏｒof mechanical engineering at Nebraska.Fｏｒexample, if workers arrived at 6 am, the cones could move from the side of the highway to block off the lane at that time. ａｎｄ　they can return to the original place at the end of the day. "It just seems like a very good application fｏｒrobots," Farritｏｒsaid. "The robotic cones would also help remove people from hazardous jobs on the highway putting barrels ａｎｄ　cones into place," Farritｏｒsaid in a report on his creation. Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant . The fund allowed Farritｏｒto work on the project with graduate students at Nebraska ａｎｄ　his assistant Steve Goddard.The robots are placed at the bottom of the cones ａｎｄ　barrels ａｎｄ　are small enough not to greatly change the appearance of the construction aides. "It would look exactly the same," Farritｏｒsaid. "Normally there\'s a kind of rubbery, black base to them. We replace that with a robot. .Farritｏｒhas talked with officials from the Nebraska Department of Roads about how the robots would be most useful to what they might needThe robots could come in handy following a slow-moving maintenance operation, like painting a stripe on a road ｏｒmoving asphalt, where now the barrels have to be picked up ａｎｄ　moved as the operation proceeds. "That way you don\'t have to block off a l0-mile strip fｏｒthe operation. " Farritｏｒsaid.While prototypes have been made, they are not in use anywhere. Farritｏｒsaid he has applied fｏｒa patent ａｎｄ　is considering what to do next. ____ He is also thinking about marketing the robots to roads departments ａｎｄ　others across the country which may benefit from them.【单选题】

A.ａｎｄ　they can return to the original place at the end of the day.

B.He is thinking about starting a small business.

C.Farritｏｒwas "Inventｏｒof the Year" in 2003.

D.Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant

E.We replace that with a robot.

F.These robotic cones ａｎｄ　barrels can move out of the way, ｏｒinto place, from computer commands made miles away.

正确答案:B

答案解析:本段的第4句“He is also thinking about. . . ”中的also是一个重要的线索，说明前面一定出现过“he is thinking”。但是在前面两句中没有找到，那么本段中要恢复的句子一定是 B句。

3、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action－particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s fｏｒpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to ____ he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. At other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, however , people change their names fｏｒsocial, historical, political, ｏｒcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just too long ａｎｄ　difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. ａｎｄ　short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt ａｎｄ　Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed fｏｒmarketing purposes. Fｏｒexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ｏｒmaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive－Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration fｏｒthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authｏｒMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, ａｎｄ　she did get her books published!【单选题】

A.understand

B.know

C.recognize

D.observe

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，结合选项的信息提示，以及文中句意可知，此处是“知道”的意思，所以答案是B。

5、We explored the possibility of expansion at the conference.【单选题】

A.offered

B.investigated

C.included

D.accepted.

正确答案:B

答案解析:会上我们探讨了扩张的可能性。本题难度不大，干扰项干扰不大，要确定好单词的引申意义。explore的引申意义有“探讨”考生要注意，investigate的本义是“调查”，引申意义是“研究”，是explore的近义解释，是答案。

6、Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge ｏｒexperience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty ａｎｄ　inexact command. What accounts fｏｒthis difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behaviｏｒof the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, ａｎｄ　right use of words ａｎｄ　right structure. He drinks in all the words ａｎｄ　expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures ａｎｄ　facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice ａｎｄ　snow in June ｏｒscorching heat in January. ａｎｄ　what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again ａｎｄ　again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood ａｎｄ　fulfilled.Finally, though a child\'s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close ａｎｄ　personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.A child learning his native language has the advantage of having private lessons all the year round.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干大意：儿童学习母语的优势是可以常年上私人辅导课。借助常识判断该句的说法不正确。利用答案线索词all the year round，我们可以在第三段第一句中发现直接相关句。比较原句和题干的结构，发现不同之处在于as it were的结构。注意：部分结构的差异往往是设置了陷阱。实际上，as it were意为“仿佛是”。所以原文说的是“仿佛是”，而题干提到的却是“是”，所以问题句“不正确”。

7、Geology ａｎｄ　Heap(1)The importance of particular metals in the human diet has been realized within the past few decades, ａｎｄ　the idea that geology might be related to health has been recognized fｏｒa number of elements such as iodine, zinc ａｎｄ　selenium. Fｏｒexample, soils with low iodine contents produce crops, ａｎｄ　animals deficient in iodine. A lack of iodine in the human diet leads to some serious diseases.(2)The ultimate source of metals within the human body is rocks, which weather into soil, gaining ｏｒlosing some of their chemical constituents. The crops we eat ｓｅｌｅｃｔively remove from the soil the elements that they require fｏｒgrowth. The water we drink contains trace elements leached from rock ａｎｄ　soil. Thus the geology ａｎｄ　geochemistry of the environment have effects on the chemistry ａｎｄ　health of plants, animals ａｎｄ　people.(3)So far there is no data to suggest that people living on metal-rich soils experience a potential health hazard. The levels of metals within naturally contaminated soils are generally not high enough to cause serious health problems. Living on metal-rich soils does not represent a health risk unless large quantities of soil are digested ｏｒmetal-rich dust is inhaled. However, small children are particularly exposed to metal-rich topsoil in playgrounds ａｎｄ　gardens. They are also the most likely ones to eat potentially dangerous metal-rich soil.(4)Heavy metals are persistent: they do not break down to other chemicals in the environment. Industrially polluted sites usually undergo intensive clean-up ａｎｄ　rehabilitation because heavy metals are a health concern once they enter the food chain. Some trace metals are alleged to cause cancer ａｎｄ　are also known to cause poisoning(5)In contrast, naturally contaminated soils have not been subject too risk assessment studies ａｎｄ　rehabilitation measures, despite the fact that they frequently possess metal concentrations well above those of such polluted by humans ａｎｄ　above environmental quality criteria.(6)There is a vital need to understａｎｄ　the potential risks ａｎｄ　long-term health effects of living on naturally contaminated soils. Future environmental investigations of naturally polluted soils should concentrate on the potential pathways of metals into the food chain ａｎｄ　human body. Geologists should be part of such studies as they can provide the essential background information on rock ａｎｄ　soil chemistry as well as the chemical forms of heavy metal pollution.Paragraph 3 ______【单选题】

A.No Evidence to Indicate Bad of Naturally Contaminated Soil

B.Potential Hazards of Human Contaminated Soils

C.Research an Channels of Heavy Metals Getting into Human Food Chain

D.Geology ａｎｄ　Health Problems

E.Rocks－－－－the Ultimate Source of Soil Pollution

F.Long-term Health Effects on Children

正确答案:A

答案解析:第3段谈及的是自然污染的土壤一般情况下对人体不会造成危害。此段首句就提示了这一点： So far there is no data to suggest that people living on metal-rich soils experience a potential health hazard.

10、Fighting fｏｒa Brighter Future fｏｒWomenWhen I was asked what it means to be a woman running fｏｒpresident, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because thought I\'d be the best president.But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers ａｎｄ　biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, ａｎｄ　I want to build an America that respects ａｎｄ　embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter\'s future ａｎｄ　a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women ａｎｄ　men understａｎｄ　the struggles of their grandmothers ａｎｄ　their mothers, ａｎｄ　that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, ａｎｄ　equal respect.Let us resolve ａｎｄ　work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): there are no acceptable limits, ａｎｄ　there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21 st century in our country.You can also be so proud of it, from now on, it will be unremarkable fｏｒa woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to let a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. ａｎｄ　this is truly remarkable my friends.We are disappointed that we couldn\'t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign. It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.We always aim high, work hard, ａｎｄ　care deeply about what you believe in. ａｎｄ　when you stumble (绰倒), keep faith. And, when you\'re knocked down, get right back up ａｎｄ　never listen to anyone who says you can\'t ｏｒshouldn\'t go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman will leave the Earth ａｎｄ　orbit (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.America\'s 50th female astronaut is right now moving round the Earth.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，不要靠科学常识来答题，要严格按文章的本意来答题。最后一段第一句谈到，第50位妇女离开地球，正在上空绕轨道运行，因此按文章本意来说围绕地球运行是错的，所以本题错误，答案是B。
