persons instructionsscientists can instruct a humanoid(类人的) robot to move to specific locations and pick up certain objects.The commands are limited to moving forward，picking up one of two objects and bringing it to one of two locations.The researchers have achieved 94 percent accuracy between the thought commands and the robots movements.“This is really a proofofconcept demonstration，” said Rajesh Rao，a researcher from the University of Washington who leads the project.“It suggests that one day we might be able to use semiautonomous robots for such jobs as helping disabled people or performing routine tasks in a persons home.”The person wearing the electrode cap watches the robots movements on a computer screen through two cameras installed on and above the robot.When the robots cameras see the objects that are to be picked up they pass on the information to the users computer screen.Each object lights up randomly on the computer screen.When a person wants something picked up and it happens to light up，the brain registers surprise and sends this brain activity to the computer and then to the robot.The robot then proceeds to pick up the object.A similar algorithm(计算程序) is used to decide where the robot will go.“One of the important things about this demonstration is that were using a noisy brain signal to control the robot，” Rao said.“That means we can only obtain brain signals indirectly from sensors on the surface of the head，not where they are generated deep in the brain.As a result，the user can only generate highlevel commands such as indicating which object to pick up or which location to go to，and the robot needs to be autonomous enough to be able to execute such commands.”In the future，the researchers hope to make the robots more adaptive to the environment by having them carry out more complex commands.语篇定位本文是一篇科普类文章。文章介绍了科学家发明的一种能够由人类思维控制来完成简单活动的机器人。长难句分析By generating the proper brainwavespicked up by a cap with electrodes(电极) that sense the signals and reflect a persons instructionsscientists can instruct a humanoid(类人的) robot to move to specific locations and pick up certain objects.本句是一个复合句，that引导定语从句，修饰名词electrodes。句意为：(通过)产生合适的脑波，这些脑波由带有电极的帽子接收，这些电极能够感受信号，并反映一个人的指令。这样科学家就可以指导一个类人的机器人到特定的地点拿起特定的物品。16What is special about the robot introduced in the passage?AIt is

backward and pick up two objects at the same time.BIt can move forward，pick up both objects and bring them to either location.CIt can only move forward，pick up one object and put it in one location.DIt can read all human thought demands and do as instructed.18What Rao said suggests that the new robot _.Ais still at its early stage of developmentBwill be widely used in our daily routine soonCis autonomous enough to complete complex commandsDis only limited to doing routine work at home19The sixth paragraph mainly describes _.Ahow the robot reacts to a persons instructionsBhow the robot picks up the right objectCthe functions of the computerDhow the robot finds out where to go20The underlined word “registers” in the passage can be best replaced by “_”Areceives BshowsCwrites

better life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?In this fastpaced world, many values are undergoing major changes.While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned.Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life.They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy.Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position，even at the cost of colleagues.We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct.It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to the outside influences.In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then.But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either.Some people take great pleasure helping and giving care to others while others feel happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.In conclusion, modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to the strong outside pressure.However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish？Main comparisonsContexts21._ are changingIn the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first 22._.Nowadays, people seem to be more 23._ about themselves.24._ are changing tooPeople in the past appeared to be modest and selfeffacing(谦让的)People now may strive to achieve their own 25._ at the price of their coworkers.The authors understanding26._ for the changes in authors eyesFierce 27._ and great 28._ on modern people may be responsible for the changes.The authors 29._ towards topicA relationship which can 30._ two sides should be established.答案 1B2B3C4C5B6C7A8B9A10A11D12C13A14C15C经典例题Not until his work has been finished _ to go to bed deep into the night.Ahe stoppedBdid he stopCstopped heDhe did stop错因分析考生易误选A项或C项，分析题干可知，not until时间状语(从句)位于句首时，后面的主句应用部分倒装结构，故B项为正确答案。得分笔记not until结构用于倒装句型中的主要形式
