seemed fanciful at the time, but fantasy is edging closer to fact.on jan. 3l, a team of scientist sat the uc berkeley, led by robert knight programmed computers to decode (解码) brain waves and replay them as words. five months earlier, another group of berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw.these experiments are a big advance from 2006, when a french scientist first replayed images from a human mind, a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. the possibilities are great: a disabled person could “speak”； doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted; you could rewatch your dreams on an ipad.there are, of course, equally dark side, such as the involuntary take out ofinformation from the brain.in spite of these breakthroughs,jack gallant, the neuroscientist who led the first berkeley team, says current technology for decoding brain activity is still “relatively primitive.” the field is held back by its poor machinery, in particular the fmri.“eventually,” says gallant,“someone will invent a decoding machine you can wear as a hat.” such an advance into the human mind, he says, might take 30 years.still, the recent advances at berkeley offer small answers, which scientists can use to begin unlocking the secrets ofmemory and consciousness.l. what is the best title for the passage?a. new

debates in the us.amy chua is a yale law school professor and the mother of two teenage girls. she is the daughter of chinese immigrants. in the chinese culture, the tighter represents strength and power. in her book, ms. chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. chua writes that her daughters, sophia and louisa, were never allowed to go on a date, be in a school play, watch tv or play computer games. they couldnt choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an a. they had to play piano or violin - and no other musical instruments. she writes that if a chinese child gets a b - which she says would never happen - there would be a screaming, hair-tearing explosion. she describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly - yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom - until it was.many people have criticized amy chua. some say her parenting methods were abusive. she even admits that her husband, who is not chinese, objected to her parenting style. but she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.stacy debroff, who has written four books on parenting, says amy chuas parenting style is not limited to chinese families. she says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. but she also sees a risk. when children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. stacy debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.alison lo, an assistant professor of marketing at the university of washingtons bothell campus, said. i dont think amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style, or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks of a good life. but i can imagine how strong her daughters college applications are going to be. for many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university, amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent, dedicated parental guidance, lo said. in that sense, a young adults giftedness can be born, or made.41. we can learn that amy chua is _.a. an assistant professor b. an easy-going womanc. a cruel teacher d. a demanding mother42. what are sophia and louisa allowed to do?a. getting an a

turkmenbashi. we also visit the ancient city of merv before returning to uzbekistan.after crossing the border into china, our tour takes in the fascinating mogao grottoes, the jiayuguan fortress at

ambition. yet, caused by the endless pursuit of individual profit, our country is a mess. and we owe it all to capitalism. we live in a society where people are forced to live without health coverage. a country where the poor can hardly feed themselves while the rich decide which one of their 10 homes to stay at for the night. all of these sad things arise out of capitalism. sadly, our country values little more than money. it motivates our decisions and even influences entire political parties. we have gotten to the point in society where a human life comes secondary to our financial security. any rational society would value life above all else and realize that health is a basic human right. yet in our world, money comes first.i never once have claimed to be an economist and have no interest in debating the financial advantages of any economic system. yet socialism surely looks better than what we have. if we lived in a socialist society, we would be a country without such an unfair wealth distribution. we would value friendship over business and we would treat one another as humans. most importantly, however, is that money would stop controlling our lives and we could act how humans should act. capitalism has created an “every man for himself” existence. everything is a battle for limited resources and fuels. we have become so accustomed to the life value that we will do whatever we have to look out for ourselves. yet is this really the kind of life we want?we have become so illusioned. we are tired of the misdirection. all economic systems have their issues, but i feel like ours is turning our country into something it shouldnt be. the good of man falls secondary to money. in our world, it is all about dollars and cents, which, unfortunately for most, makes no sense.51. in the authors opinion, the root cause of the present situation in his country is _.a. money b. peoples value c. social unfairness d. social system【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据we owe it all to

lot of interesting things have happened in the past several months as people from all walks of life learn how to stretch their money. a lot of changes have been accelerated by the fuel shocks during the summer of 2008; in a lot of ways we seem to be reverting to the frugal(economical) sensibilities of a past generation. more people are choosing to be more picky when they swipe their credit cards even if that means not buying things until they have money in their bank accounts, the days of the $0-down mortgage(抵押贷款)seem to be murdered, and there is a lot more acceptance of environmentally-friendly technologies that promise to reduce our overall dependency on foreign oil even if it means taking a hit to the excesses that used to define our quality of living.an interesting new trend being taken by small businesses is the practice of offering discounted prices to customers willing to pay in cash. this is not the same as paying “under the table”-rather, the store saves its merchant processing fees and passes those savings on to the customers. the idea is a good one in principle-paying in cash forces consumers to take stock of what they are spending as much as it saves stores from transaction(交易) fees. of course there are drawbacks to the plan. when people pay in cash, they tend to be more conservative with their spending since they tangibly(really) feel their money leave their possession. that will cause stores to lose profits because customers will think twice before buying highmargin “impulse” products at checkout whereas before they might not have thought twice before charging it. increased volume of cash handling opens stores to loss through employee theft at the till(抽屉), not to mention controls that need to be put into place to count and deposit physical currency.our family has saved a fortune by switching to cash. when getting to the bottom of your change jar means no more purchase power until your next pay period, you really start to appreciate the fine art of merchandising(做买卖) and the expertise applied to make you want to buy more and more. cold hard cash feels more organic, and helps us to appreciate the effort it takes to maintain our lifestyle.56. from the passage, we can learn that _.a. customers are in a more favorable position by paying in cash.b. people will not be allowed to use their credit cards if there is no money in their bank account. c. people have adjusted their way of living to the new situation.d. people are living better than before by paying in cash.【答案】c 【解析】细节理解题。根据全文的内容可知出现了新的现象时，人们会慢慢地去适应，故选c。57. by saying “people from all walks of life learn how to stretch their money”, the author means that _. a. people walk to work in order to save money.b. people of all professions learn to make the best use of their money.c. people of the whole society learn to earn more money.d.
