2011 山东卷 D Since 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 Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne Switzerland demonstrated 展示 a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person s 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 Milan the team leader says scientists keep improving the computer 3 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 A help to update computer systems B link the human brain with computers C help the disabled to recover D control a person s thoughts 72 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 73 Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5 A scalp computer cap wheelchair B computer cap scalp wheelchair C scalp cap computer wheelchair D cap computer scalp wheelchair 74 The team will test with real patients to A make profits from them B prove the technology useful to them C make them live longer D learn about their physical condition 75 Which of the following would be the best title for the text A Switzerland the BCI Research Center B New Findings About How the Human Brain Works C BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled 4 D Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries 解析 71 75 BDCBC 语篇解读 本文是一则新闻报道 介绍了 Brain computer interface BCI 技术的 发明 原理和对残疾人带来的益处 71 B 细节理解题 从第一段第一句话可知 72 D 细节理解题 见第二段 Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band 73 C 细节理解题 见第五段描述 74 B 细节推断题 见最后一段 to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from 证明他们可以从中获得的好处 75 C 主旨大意题 本文是新闻文体 因此要关注首段的中心 由首段的第二句话 Brain computer interface BCI technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines 推断选 C 结束 He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill He was shivering his face was white and he walked slowly as though it ached to move What s the matter Schatz I ve got a headache You better go back to bed No I m all right You go to bed I ll see you when I m dressed But when I came downstairs he was dressed sitting by the fire looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever You go up to bed I said You re sick I m all right he said When the doctor came he took the boy s temperature 5 What s is it I asked him One hundred and two Downstairs the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them One was to bring down the fever another a purgative 泻药 the third to overcome an acid condition The germs of influenza 流感 can only exist in an acid condition he explained He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees This was a light epidemic 传染病 传染性的 of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia 肺炎 Back in the room I wrote the boy s temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules Do you want me to read to you All right If you want to said the boy His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes He lay still in the bed and seemed very detached 超然的 冷漠的 from what was going on I read aloud from Howard Pyle s Book of Pirates 海盗 but I could see he was not following what I was reading How do you feel Schatz I asked him Just the same so far he said I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule It would have been natural for him to go to sleep but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed looking very strangely Why don t you try to sleep I ll wake you up for the medicine I d rather stay awake After a while he said to me You don t have to stay in here with me Papa if it bothers you It doesn t bother me No I mean you don t have to stay if it s going to bother you I thought perhaps he was a little lightheaded and after giving him the 6 prescribed capsules at eleven o clock I went out with my gun and the young hunting dog I killed two quail 鹌鹑 and missed five and started back pleased to have found a covey of quail close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room You can t come in he said You mustn t get what I have I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him white faced but with the tops of his cheeks flushed 发红 by the fever staring still as he had stared at the foot of the bed I took his temperature What is it Something like a hundred I said It was one hundred and two and four tenths It was a hundred and two he said Who said so The doctor Your temperature is all right I said It s nothing to worry about I don t worry he said but I can t keep from thinking Don t think I said Just take it easy I m taking it easy he said and looked straight ahead He was evidently holding tight onto himself about something Take this with water Do you think it will do any good Of course it will I sat down and opened the Pirate book and began to read but I could see he was not following so I stopped About what time do you think I m going to die he asked What About how long will it be before I die You aren t going to die What s the matter with you 7 Oh yes I am I heard him say a hundred and two People don t die with a fever of one hundred and two That s a silly way to talk I know they do At school in France the boys told me you can t live with forty four degrees I ve got a hundred and two He had been waiting to die all day ever since nine o clock in the morning You poor Schatz I said Poor old Schatz It s like miles and kilometers You aren t going to die That s different thermometer On that thermometer thirty seven is normal On this kind it s ninety eight Are you sure Absolutely I said It s like miles and kilometers You know like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car Oh he said But his gaze at the foot of the bed relaxed slowly The hold over himself relaxed too finally and the next day it was very slack 松驰的 and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance 15 The author writes about the doctor s visit in order to A show the doctor s knowledge about influenza and its treatment
