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. 1. 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 thoughts2. 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 using his mind.3. which of the following shows the path of the signals described in paragraph 5? a. scalpcomputercapwheelchair b. computercapscalpwheelchairc. scalpcapcomputerwheelchair d. capcomputerscalpwheelchair4. the team will test with real patients to.a. make profits from them b. prove the technology useful to themc. make them live longer d. learn about their physical condition5. which 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 injuries【参考答案】1-5 、bdcbc【重庆市南开中学2014高考英语二诊考试】 请阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的a，b，c，d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。the slavery drama “12 years a slave” won
