searching for ways to link the brain with computers. braincomputer interface (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. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve cells. 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.56bci is a technology that can _.a. help to update computer systemsb. link the human brain with computersc. help the disabled to recoverd. control a persons thoughts57how 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.58which of the following shows the path of the signals described in paragraph 5?a. scalpcomputercapwheelchairb. computercapscalpwheelchairc. scalpcapcomputerwheelchaird. capcomputerscalpwheelchair59the team will test with real patients to _.a. make profits from themb. prove the technology useful to themc. make them live longerd. learn about their physical condition60which 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 injuriesbrunning like the wind, roaring (咆哮) like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world. but last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south china.this was the conclusion of a team of scientists from chinas state forestry administration and the world nature fund.the south china tiger, also known as the chinese tiger, is native to southern china. in the 1950s, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country. but due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the worlds top ten most endangered species.sixtysix of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around china. but they are nothing like their wild cousins. they have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing. if they were set free they could not look after themselves. “breeding has damaged the quality of the species”， said pei enle, deputy director of the shanghai zoo.to reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to south africa. four of them have already arrived. progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能) and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the african base.“south africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild. the country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in”， said lu jun, office director of the national wildlife research and development center. “we tried in fujian province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete ecochain(生物链) and there was a lack of space.”the tigers should return to china in 2007 when the reservations in fujian are ready.61what is the main reason for the south china tiger becoming one of the worlds top ten most endangered species?a. because it has lost its natural instincts.b. because there is not a complete ecochain.c. because there is no space for it.d .because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions.62how is the programme of sending several tigers to south africa getting on?a. its effect still remains to be seen.b. two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins.c. some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills.d. the tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007.63by saying “but they are nothing like their wild cousins”， the writer means that_.a. they are no longer feared by other wild animalsb. they dont know how to hunt or killc. a complete change has resulted in the species because of breedingd. to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task64what is the purpose of sending young tigers to south africa?a. to help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild.b. to provide them with a better environment.c. to get the tigers to go on a tour.d. to find a complete ecochain for them.65which one is not the reason for south africa being chosen as the training place?a. because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the african base.b. because south africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers.c. because there is a complete ecochain and enough space there.d. because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in. celizabeth freeman was born about 1742 to african american parents who were slaves. at the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by john ashley, a wealthy massachusetts slaveholders. she became known as “mumbet” or “mum bett.” for nearly 30 years mumbet served the ashley family. one day, ashleys wife tried to strike mumbets sister with a spade. mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. furious, she left the house and refused to come back. when the ashleys tried to make her return, mumbet consulted a lawyer, theodore sedgewick. with his help, mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom. while serving the ashleys, mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new massachusetts constitution. if the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. eventually, mumbet won her freedom- the first slave in massachusetts to do so under the new constitution. strangely enough, after the trial, the ashleys asked mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. she declined and instead went to work for segdewick. mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). one of her great-grandchildren was w.e.b. du bois, one of the founder of the naacp, and an important writer and spokesperson for african american civil rights. mumbets tombstone still stands in the massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. it reads, in part: “she was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. she could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.” 66. what do we know about mumbet according to paragraph 1? a. she was born a slave b. she was a slaveholder c. she had a famous sister d. she was born into a rich family 67. why did mumbet run away from the ashleys? a. she found an employer b. she wanted to be a lawyer c. she was hit and got angry d. she had to take care of her sister 68. what did mumbet l
