ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. however, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. how can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）? if someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. the person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time. dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. in fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. for all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else. you might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. there are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. you may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. there are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. if you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. you can decide to feel inferior（自卑） because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. you can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. on the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person. the point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any. 36. according to the author _ plays an important role in making friends.a. admitting your shortcomings b. self criticism c. modesty d. confidence【答案】d【解析】推理判断题。根据a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.既然我们强调我们的缺点有可能在交朋友方面成为绊脚石，那么我们就应该自信，故选d。37. if you are not liked by a person, _ .a. you should find the reason in yourselfb. youd better talk with the person face to facec. you may not be the one to be blamedd. you and that person misunderstand each other【答案】c【解析】细节理解题。根据if someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. the person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.不喜欢你也许和你一点关系都没有，你也许不应该受到责备，故选c。38. we can learn from the third paragraph that _ .a. your good qualities may turn out to be your flawsb. your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayc. your negative qualities cause a person to reject youd. youll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据in fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.你的弱点也许是在某方面是你的强项，故选b。39. which of the following is true according to the

criticism.d. how to lose weight.【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。根据the point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make

(bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.recently, two researchers, jose millan and michele tavella from the federal polytechnic school in lausanne, switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand and. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. these send signals through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain. prof. millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. one example is this wheelchair.”he says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.16. bci is a technology that can _.a. link the human brain with computers b. help to update computer systems c. help the disabled to recover d. control a persons thoughts 17. how did tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?a. by controlling his muscles. b. by talking to the machine. c. by moving his hand. d. by using his mind.18. which of the following shows the path of the signals described in paragraph 5?a. scalpcomputercapwheelchairb. computercapscalpwheelchairc. scalpcapcomputerwheelchaird. capcomputerscalpwheelchair19. the team will test with real patients to _. a. make profits from them b. prove the technology useful to themc. make them live longer d. learn about their physical condition20. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. switzerland, the bci research centerb. new findings about how the human brain worksc. bci could mean more freedom for the disabledd. robotic vehicles could help to cure brain injuries【参考答案】16230、adcbc 阅读理解-dsunny countries are often poor. a shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. eight19, a british company by cambridge university, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. in return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp（安培） current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode（二极管）. the firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.the trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the systems keeper must buy a scratch cardfor as little as a dollaron which is printed a reference number. the keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by sms to eight19. the companys server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. in fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. after buying around $80 worth of scratch cardswhich eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 monthsthe user will own it. he will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.in that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably. according to eight19s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. the firm believes the average energy-starved kenyan spends around $10 a month on oilenough to fuel a couple of smoky lampsplus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. regular users of one of eight19s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper. 41. the underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _ .a. make use of b. come up with c. look into d. deal with 【答案】d【解析】词义猜测题。make use of利用； come up with想出； look into调查； deal with处理。根据solar power is still quite expensive及eight19, a british company by cambridge university, has, however, invented a novel way to因为太阳能仍然很贵，所以eight19发明了一个新的方法来解决这个问题，故选d。 42. what should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?a. buy a scratch card. b. recharge it outside.c. buy another solar cell.d. return it to the company.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.可知没有电了，你可以把它放在外面重新充电，故选a。43. how much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?a. around $10. b. around $80. c
