That kind of simulation (仿真) technology could be available within the next five years.“Were talking about reinventing how computers interact （互动）with humans,” said Bernie Meyerson, IBM Vice President. Extending our sense of touch is one of the innovations (创新) IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the companys annual “Five in Five” list. Smart machines will also be able to listen to the environment and highlight （强调；突出）the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing is not possible today, but with an advanced enough system, its actually possible. In the near future, personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos.Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze on your computer or cellphone, tiny sensors (传感器) in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules (分子) in your breath. “It can give you an alarm and says, Hey, you are probably sick, go to see your doctor immediately,” Meyerson says.Mark Maloo is a computer science professor from Georgetown University. He hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a role in future innovations. He believes theres little doubt that advances in computer technology over the next five years will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives.60. The purpose of the text is to show us A. how smart machines will replace humans B. what our lives will be like in the future C. how to go shopping on the Internet D. why IBM wants to invent these smart machines61. In the future, if you buy clothes online, you may . A. feel the materials of the clothes by touching the screen B. ask your computer to give you some advice C. ask your computer to make the decision for you D. save a lot of money by using a smartphone62. How will a smart machine figure out that you are probably sick?A. By analyzing the thousands of molecules in your breath.B. By analyzing your comments about your body condition. C. By referring your condition to doctors.D. By asking you to describe how you feel. COnly about 30 percent of people in the US know how to perform CPR (心肺复苏术). Recently, a 9-year-old boy showed a Georgia woman how to perform CPR on her newborn baby.Susanna Rohm said she had experienced a parents worst nightmare (噩梦) her 2-month-old son, Isiah, was not breathing. “I noticed he looked pale. I looked at his arms and his legs and they were limp (无力的),” Rohm told a local newspaper. “Then I noticed that he looked like he wasnt alive.” In dismay, she dropped and broke her cellphone. Rohm had to run into the street, screaming for help.“I had him in my arms and screamed over and over. Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, Go and ask your parents to call 911,” Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, showing Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt helped as well.Rocky said he had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking wed better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared,” Ethan said. “I told her to push on the babys chest five to ten times a minute with only two fingers, tilt back the babys head, plug the babys nose and breathe into the babys mouth,” Ethan said in an interview.At last, Isiah began crying and was breathing again. He spent two nights in a local hospital. “If the little boy hadnt shown me what to do right there, my baby would probably not be alive right now,” Rohm said.63.

What does the underlined word “dismay” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Panic.B. Anger. C. Excitement. D. Joy.65. What did Rohm do when she saw the two boys? A. She asked them to call 911 as soon as possible. B. She asked them to teach her how to perform CPR. C. She asked them to ask their parents for help. D. She asked them to help her perform CPR on her baby.66. What Rohm said in the last paragraph shows that she was . A. gratefulB. regretfulC. surprised D. ashamedDYou dont know what youve got until its gone. Ive learned that through my personal experiences. A few months ago, I woke up deaf in one ear. I did not pay much attention to it at first. It felt that I had water in my ear. However, I began to hear less and less out of that ear. I even had to ask people to talk into my other ear so that I could hear them. I didnt realize how serious it was until late in the day (为时太晚). One evening, when I was sitting on my bed doing chemistry homework, I fell off my bed. When trying to get up, I was incredibly dizzy (头晕的). I went to see a doctor and he told me that hearing loss was common. However, hearing loss is usually bilateral, or occurs in both ears. He said that my hearing should come back within a week. After about a week the dizziness eventually went away, but the hearing loss did not. The medicine helped and I gained some of my hearing back. After many hearing tests, the doctor diagnosed (诊断) that I had permanent hearing loss in that ear. School became harder for me because I couldnt hear my teachers. I was very depressed. Finally, I bought a hearing aid. With t
