1、Intelligent Machines
1. 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 author of 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 sensor will 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 for at least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.
Paragraph 5 ____【单选题】

A.A new pair of eyes

B.Computers that can communicate

C.Everlasting consciousness on a computer

D.Time to break off a friendship

E.An author and researcher

F.A new pair of ears

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，没有明显的主旨句。但第五段中间的关键词汇consciousness onto a computer，选项有近义解释。本段主要是畅想未来，谈论人类的整个意识系统可能会被植入到电脑里面，这样就意味着人类思想可永远留存。C项Everlasting consciousness on a computer，“在电脑里永远留存的意识”，可以概括本段内容，答案是C。

2、The policemen acted quickly because lives were at stake.【单选题】

A.in danger

B.in difficulty

C.in despair

D.out of control

正确答案:A

答案解析:因生命危在旦夕，警察迅速行动。本题有一定难度，虽然选项都是常用的固定介词词组，但干扰项干扰较大。At stake和in danger都有“在危险中”的意思，是近义词。B项指“在困难中”，C项指“处于绝望中”，D项指“失去控制”，最佳答案是A。

3、The high - speed trains can have a major impact on our lives.【单选题】

A.effort

B.problem

C.influence

D.concern

正确答案:C

答案解析:高铁会对我们的生活产生很大影响。本题难度不大，是送分题，干扰项可以说无干扰性，确定impact的引申意义有“影响”的意思，不难找到答案influence。

4、Longer Lives Are Happier Lives
1 In recent years, scientists have been studying ways to change the body's chemistry to reduce the signs and effects of aging.
2 0ne group of researchers in Britain has performed experiments on a kind of worm. They have managed to increase the worm's normal life span of 20 days by up to 400%. They hope that they will be able to use this research to help humans live longer. However, this is a long way in the future. Another disadvantage is that when (or if) the new technology is successfully developed, it will probably be very expensive. The chance to live longer will only be available to a very few, very rich people.
3 Another group of scientists is studying people who have reached a very old age. They believe that this may show what has kept these people healthy and alive for so long. So, if we look at people who have lived into very old age, what do they have in common? Usually they have led a physically active life. This does not mean going to a gym or running ten miles every day. Simple, enjoyable activities like walking seem to be more likely to keep you healthy. Very old people also eat a good, varied diet. Simple foods like vegetable, rice, pasta and fish are the best.
4 However, there may be one thing even more important than physical factors like diet and exercise. Research shows that personality, and the way a person thinks, play an important part in how long they will live. People who live into very old age always seem to enjoy life. They have a sense of humor and get satisfaction from simple things. They do not constantly think about the past, but are interested in the present and the future. They do not let life get boring, but have interests and hobbies which keep their minds active and they are open to new ideas. One Japanese man who lived to be 120 commented that the secret of his long life was "not worrying". To express it simply, people who are happy and positive about life are more likely to live longer.
5 So, eat well, exercise well, and enjoy life, and you will have a good chance of living to a healthy, happy old age.
Paragraph 4 ____
【单选题】

A.How to live happy old age

B.Disadvantages of the project

C.The study of old people

D.Personality and other mental factors are more important

E.Worms live longer than humans

F.Live simple lives

正确答案:D

答案解析:上一段讲的是身体方面的健康。段首用了however，将话题引到精神健康上来，并且详细阐述了这些老寿星的精神生活，因此选D。

5、The test produced disappointing results.【单选题】

A.unsatisfactory

B.indirect

C.similar

D.positive

正确答案:A

答案解析:实验结果令人失望。本题难度不大，也是送分题，可以确认disappointing和unsatisfactory都是“失望的，让人不满意的”意思，所以最佳答案是A。
