5、 use computer to read minds. Is there any truth to this story?Jane Leon, New York, USADear Ms. Leon,Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs havent been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, tes

6、t subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. Its no

7、t quite mind reading, but its certainly a first step.Dr. J.Dear Dr. Jeffers, My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldnt do it. Why not?Glenn Lewis, Vancouve

8、r, CanadaDear Mr. Lewis,Its because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you dont notice ho

9、w your shoulder feels while youre walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. Its that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.Dr. J.46. What can we learn from the answer to the first question? A. Some equipment i

10、s able to read human minds.B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.47. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _. A. unexpected B. expected C. comfortable D. uncomfortable48. Who

11、 has got a little child according to the text? A. Ms. Leon B. Mr. Lewis C. Mr. Moeller D. Dr. Jeffers49. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _. A. a computer programmer B. a test subjectC. a human brain expert D. a medical doctor2. 江西2010EEvery day we experience one of the wonders of the worl

12、d around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each others minds. This ability comes so

13、 naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day

14、and year. In Natures talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, its an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.Not that we dont have other powers of communication. Our fac

15、ial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or dr

16、ooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazi

17、ng skills ? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesnt tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.72. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is .A. our ability to use languageB. th

18、e miracle of technologyC. the amazing power of natureD. our ability to make noises with mouth73. What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human an animals?A. Lifting heads when sad.B. Keeping long faces when angry.C. Bristling hair when ready to attack.D. Bowing hea

19、ds when willing to obey.74. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Body language is unique to humans.B. Animals express emotions just as humans do.C. Humans have other powers of communication.D. Humans are no different from animals to some degree.75. This passage is mainly about .A. the developmen

20、t of body language.B. the special role humans play in natureC. the power to convey information to othersD. the difference between humans and animals in language use3.山东 2006 EPITTSBURGH For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a w

21、ay to save lives.The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro,

22、Mass-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows. He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didnt know of one that could climb pipes.The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic senso

23、rs and can be controlled with a joystick(操纵杆). They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller. They can sense which way is up, but are only a

24、s good as their human operators, Choset added.Sam Stover, a search team manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable poles.“It just allows us to do

25、 something weve not been able to do before,” Stover said, “We needed them yesterday.”He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged buildings.Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the after

26、math (后果) of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.72. Which institution is responsible for the development of Chosets robots?A. Roboti

27、cs Trends. B. Pittsburgh City Council.C. Carnegie Mellon University. D. Federal Emergency Management Agency.73. Choset believes that his invention _.A. can be attached to an electronic armB. can be used by hobbyists in model airplanesC. can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dogD. can sense it

28、s way no better than its operators74. By saying “We needed them yesterday” (paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots _.A. could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane KatrinaB. would have been put to use in past rescue workC. helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterdayD. were in greater

29、 need yesterday than today75. What is the text mainly about?A. Snake-like robots used in industries.B. Snake-like robots made to aid in rescues.C. The development of snake-like robots.D. The working principles of snake-like robots.4. 湖南2010 CPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than th

30、ose from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions-and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.We show that E

31、asterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions, Jack said. Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication

32、of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recor

33、ding the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their par

34、ticular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions, Jack said. O

35、ur data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skill

36、s will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.66. The discovery shows that Westerners _ A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth B. consider facial express

37、ions universally reliable C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions67. What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To make a face at each other. B. To get their faces impressive.C. To classify some face pictures. D. To observe

38、the researchers faces.68. What does the underlined word they in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The participants in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made during the study. D. The data collected from the study.69. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _A. do translati

39、on more successfullyB. study the mouth more frequentlyC. examine the eyes more attentivelyD. read facial expressions more correctly70. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye as the Window to the SoulB. Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skil

40、lsD. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding5. 2010 天津 BWhy play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rulesplanning your next move acting as a team memberthese are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your lift.Think about some of the games you pla

41、yed as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as talking turns and coo

42、perating(合作).Many childrens games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting. Many sports encourage

43、 national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For coun

44、tries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play itsome for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Califomian soccer player, has discovered

45、a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future. Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects

46、of your life.41.Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to .A.be a team leaderB.obey the basic rulesC.act as a grown-upD.predict possible danger42.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can .A.describe life in an exciting wayB.turn real-life experienc

I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion, a v

50、isual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described

51、 it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example.

52、 But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions（认识）of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflect

53、ed the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended

54、 not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, a

55、nd what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal（内在的） language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and

56、the nature of her thoughts.41. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _.A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession42. The author used to think of her mothers English as _.A. impolite B

57、. amusing C. imperfect D. practical43. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes.C. The authors mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.44.

58、The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _.A. well structured B. in the old styleC. easy to translate D. rich in meaning45. What is the passage mainly about?A. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English.B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother.C. The auth

59、ors misunderstanding of “limited” English.D. The authors experiences of using broken English.7. 09上海 C“Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it

60、 has been taken. The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computers screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind. Own

61、ers must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version（版本）of the software, users can also send a spoken message. The message can be set to reappear every

62、 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it.” One customer sent a message saying, You are being tracked. I am right at your door,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever. In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For exam

63、ple, the laptops speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.” The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs .Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details. If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so tha
