2014高考英语阅读理解冲刺满分训练阅读理解-asince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. brain-computer 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 band. 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 front. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.71.bci is a technology that can a. help to update computer systems b. link the human brain with computersc. help the disabled to recover d. control a persons thoughts72. 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

a good variety of lively entertainment. it is a cheerful place, busy and crowded in the summer, but alive in every season of the year. its royal pavilion(布莱顿皇宫)is a masterpiece of english architecture. durham: whatever travelers see or dont see in england, they must see this city, in the northeast, just south of newcastle-upon-tyne. no one will forget the sight of its cathedral（教堂）and castle rising together on a steep hill overlooking a loop in the river wear, which almost surrounds them. the cathedral itself is one of the great medieval(中世纪的,公元476-1500)buildings in europe. liverpool: a port in the northwest of england which possesses a quality that is not found in quite the same way anywhere else in england: the quality of grandeur (壮观). liverpool has this grandeur in its site on the broad river mersey (more than half a mile wide) with the houses rising near it; in its great dock buildings, its broad streets, and its two enormous cathedrals. edinburgh: it has long been the capital of scotland. edinburgh castle is edinburghs important building, controlling the city from its perch on a rock over a hundred meters above sea level. another important building is the palace of holyrood house, begun by james around 1500. between the castle and the palace is the royal mile, which was the center of edinburgh life before the 17th century and is fascinating to visit now.64. which is the suitable time to visit brighton ? _a .only summer b. all the year around c. holidays d. weekdays65. which of the following place mentions both a castle and a cathedral ? _a.

bbca阅读理解 an australian company, smart car technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when theyre speeding. when the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. the company that developed the product hopes to convince australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.the product, called speed alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of gps to a database of posted speed limits stored in a drivers pda or programmable mobile phone. the setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a cars speedometer. in fact, it is entirely portable. it will also work with newer phones and pdas that have built-in gps receivers. if a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.michael paine, an australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. he told live science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what theyre now calling “intelligent speed alert.” other research, according to paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. there is also a potentially controversial future use: “since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” paine said. “the system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”the product will soon go on sale in sydney.48. whats the purpose of the new product?a. to inform us of the new car system. b. to introduce some improvement in cars.c. to limit certain drivers to safe driving. d. to popularize the built-in car system.49. the second paragraph mainly talks about .a. the project of the built-in product b. why the system becomes popularc. the functions of gps in cars d. how the product is programmed50. which of the following is true of speed alert according to michael paine?a. most of the traffic deaths can be avoided. b. speeding violations can be easily found out.c. the system will excite some teenage drivers. d. the product will not be available for adults.51. what can be the best title of the passage?a. speed alert and its future use.b. progress in car-making science.c. warning for adventurous drivers.d. new in-car device against speeding.体裁：科普文章 词数：265 难度系数： 建议用时：7分钟 类别：推理判断题+主旨大意题+词义猜测题+细节理解题 本文标题： an alert device against speeding 【文章大意】：文章主要

only the government needs to worry about it. but its hardly possible to completely stay out of it scientists are now 95 percent sure that humans have been the “dominant cause” of global warming trends since the 1950s. one of the conclusions of a report released on sept 27 by the united nations says that human activities have caused global temperatures to rise by 0.89 0c between 1901 and 2012. that might not seem like a lot, but the truth is that a major part of that heat has been absorbed into the oceans, which is not surprising given that they cover two thirds of earths surface. also, water has a much greater capacity (容量) to absorb heat than the air does, according to the economist. while many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to keep the earth warm enough to support life, humans use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess (多余的) greenhouse gases. according to cnn, by driving cars, using electricity produced by burning coal and oil or heating our homes with coal or natural gas, we release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. your body can barely feel a difference of 0.89 0c, but the earths ecosystems are so sensitive that even small changes can disturb them. it often starts with the smallest creatures at the bottom of the food chain, eventually affecting bigger animals, many of which could end up becoming extinct. global warming is also linked to an increase in extreme weather. a larger amount of carbon dioxide traps more energy inside the atmosphere. this changes the patterns of storms and rainfall in many regions and can lead to droughts and floods. worse still, melting sea ice in warmer oceans is causing sea levels to rise at a speed of more than three millimeters per year, according to the guardian, which also increases the risk of flooding. “the report should serve as another wake-up call that our activities today have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come,” french michel jarraud, secretary-general of the world meteorological organization, said at a news conference.68.theunderlinedword“dominant”inthefirstparagraphmeans “_”.a. common b.indirect c.secondary d.

there were some well-constructed houses for native indians, ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.in the eastern united states, one of the existing types was that commonly know under the algonkian name of wigwam in which the iroquois indians lived. the wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the indians from bad weather. over the bark dried grass was added. a small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. doorways at each end served also as windows, the iroquois indians built trunk walls all around their villages. the wall had only one opening, they could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.interestingly, the choctaw indians in mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction, but different from those of the iroquois indians. the choctaw indians wigwams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. the covering was made of a long, tough grass. a post in the centre supported the roof. a hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out.the tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. it was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.the pawnee, mandan and other indian tribes (部落) along the missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families.the wichita and other tribes of the texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with
