a. heart damage. b. organ rejection c. block of blood vessels. d. side effect of the drugs62. what can we learn about the operation? a. there has arisen a debate about the operation.b. the woman had used the dead woman s whole face. c. the woman will suffer from psychological damage soon. d. such transplants have been performed by doctors.63. the underlined word resemble means _. a. to remember forever b. to recognize immediately c. to set as an example d. to presents similarity or likeness tocthe global population is living longer, and getting older, which presents new challenges. “the question becomes：who will take care of everyone. while people will always be the best care givers for people, there just arent enough people. thats where robotic technology can really make a difference,” says professor maja mataric at the university of southern california.her group is developing robots to work with stroke (中风) patients and elderly people. the research team has found that people react well to a robot gym instructor, and seem to get less frustrated with it than with instructions given on a computer screen. the robot can act as a perfect trainer, with infinite(极大的) patience.“people say things like i prefer this robot to my husband！can i take it home” according to professor mataric. “in fact theres a really important point here. as we create these care giving technologies, were helping not only the people that need the care, but also the people caring for them. we can give them a break, and help them avoid burnout.”people are going to have to like, and importantly trust robots before they welcome them into their homes, and several groups around the world are working on making it easier to communicate with them.much of human communication takes place through body language. gestures, eye contact , and concepts of personal space are all things that robots are being taught. in learning about how people interact(互动) with machines, researchers are also discovering new roles for robots in our lives. robots can communicate with humans in ways that other technologies can not.“if someone finds the robot to be more persuasive and more reliable, thats going to affect how they interact with it,” says dr cynthia breazeal, director of the personal robots group at the massachusetts institute of technology. “we can now start to think about fields where its the social interaction, which is the main means by which a robot helps someone.” dr breazeal says that means robots could be used in education, learning, and health care, where social support is important.64. the underlined word “burnout” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”. a. feeling angry b. feeling tired c. getting hurt d. becoming disappointed 65. professor maja mataric mainly focused on robots function of _.a. teaching b. exploring c. giving care d. making things 66. the scientists are presently working hard to help robots_ .a. to use less electricity b. to have more functionsc. to react more quickly d. to communicate better第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。until just a few years ago, we doctors believed that the brain stopped making new neural(神经系统的)connections (meaning that your memory began to get worse)when the body stopped developing, usually in your early 20s. and we knew that, like any other body part, neurons weaken as we age. loss of brain function due to neural breakdown was assumed to be a normal, unavoidable part of aging.it turns out that we were wrong. in the past few years, it has been discovered that you can, in fact, make new neurons starting in your 20s and continuing well into old age. you can literally rewire the brain with new parts as the older parts wear out. how? simple: keep learning. just as your body can pack on and condition new muscle, your brain can rebuild used-up neurons.how strong is the evidence for this? strong enough that a $200 million industry devoted to brain boosting software (products like brain age, mindfit, and lumosity that supposedly improve your memory function) has sprung up out of nowhere. all “mental fitness” means are keeping your memory intact (everything from phone numbers to how to throw a football). so what can you do to stay smart?keep blood pressure down. people with high blood pressure are more likely to develop cognitive impairment later in life.eat more vitamins. like e(in nuts and sunflower seeds), b6 and b12(beef, tuna), and folic acid(leafy greens, citrus, berries), which help keep your brains chemistry in balance.exercise your brain. this is the best way to rebuild and strengthen those precious neurons. learn to play chess or the guitar. when youre at a stoplight, try to recall the starting lineup of the 1983 celtics. see a movie that doesnt feature ben stiller. or read, like, a book.title：how to keep the 67._smart？previous 68._the brain no longer makes new neural connections once the 71._ of ones body has stopped.new 69. _new neurons continue to occur even in ones old age.72._contributes to the development of the new parts of your brain.many products which claim to improve your brain function appear in the 73._.70._keep yourself away from 74._blood pressure.75._in more vitamins for the needs of your brain.76._your brain as much as you can.第一节单词拼写(共10题；每小题0.5分，满分5分)根据所给首字母或中文提示写出形式和意义都正确的词。77. in the 1950s, s_ chinese characters came into use in chinas mainland.78. parents are anxious for the w_ of their children. 79. a survey on retired people has been conducted, i_ that most are independent and enjoying life.80. as she walked along the narrow street, she heard the sound of foot s
