It 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.

It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged. The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13. 6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million. One theatre source criticised the Governments priorities (优先考虑的事)in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying:“I dont know why the Governments wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Governments plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said:“I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre. Mr. Burnham said:“A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear its not for them. Its time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said:“The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”1. Critics of the plan argued that.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldnt get free ticketsD. the government wouldnt be able to afford it2. According to the supporters, the plan should.A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. involve all the young people in England3. Which of the following is TRUE about the plan? A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.4. We can infer from the passage that in England.A. many plays are not for young peopleB. many young people dont like theatreC. people know little about the planD. children used to receive good arts education5. According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems.A. controversial B. inspiringC. exciting D. unreasonable【参考答案】57.1-5 BDCBA 社会生活类-阅读理解。I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth.Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken” ; and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show:her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts. 1. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that.A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession2. The author used to think of her mothers English as.A. impolite B. amusingC. imperfectD. practical3. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes. C. The authors mother had positive influence on her. D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.4. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is.A. well structured B. in the old styleC. easy to translate D. rich in meaning5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The change of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English. D. The authors experiences of using broken English. 【参考答案】58.1-5 DCBDA 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 36 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog (博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in 38 diary? The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 39 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 40 that she does not want to 41 .

She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 44 I was at her age, I wrote about the same things, but 45 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 that my sister might read it! The biggest 47 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about her in my diary, she would never know. 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 50 read her blog and get angry. There are also 51 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me.” 52 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 53 respond and tell her how much they 54 her. Blogs help people stay in 55 with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing. 【1】A. the sameB. t
