In

28、 April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Partons foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month t

29、o children from birth to age five in the singers home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim cl

30、icked on imagination . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didnt want to give the children rubbish,” say

31、s Linda. The books, reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members, included classics such as Ezra Jack Keatss The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004,

32、 they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area.

36、 busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.CSince 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 rese

37、archers, Jose Milan 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 tal

38、k 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

39、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 a

40、nd 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 software that interprets brain signals and turns them into si

41、mple 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 tec

42、hnology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.46. BCI is technology that can .A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a persons thoughts47. How did Tave

43、lla 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.48. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp computer cap wheelchairB. computer cap scalp wheelchairC. scal

44、p cap computer wheelchairD. cap computerscalpwheelchair49. The team will test with real patients to .A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition50. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switze

45、rland, 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 InjuriesDOne of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.Wh

46、en we see something we dont like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps its something ingrained (根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isnt necessarily that we want things to be different. However, its that we decided we did

47、nt like it in the first place. Weve judged it as bad, rather than saying. “Its not bad or good, and it just is it.”In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned.” Some readers said its too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.

48、However, its only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accep

49、t these things as they are, and try to understand why theyre that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because youll no longer say, “Oh. I wish bad things didnt happen! ”Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you cant accept things as they are, but bec

50、ause you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place? You can say that youll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. Thats the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. The

51、refore, when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.51. The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .A. it is our natural emotion in the lifeB. culture asks us to be different from o

52、thersC. everyone has their own opinions on thingsD. we dislike something in the beginning52. Some readers think the words in the authors book is too .A. depressingB. frighteningC. delightingD. idealistic53. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “it” refers to .A. acting well at work and in politicsB.

53、feeling depressed for the news mediaC. accepting and understanding what has happenedD. saying something negative when bad things come54. In the last paragraph, you are advised .A. to help others make a differenceB. to enjoy what you have to do in the workC. to judge yourself and make a wish for youD

54、. to try a new way when making the world better55. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Expecting things to be different gives us hope.B. Accepting can make our life happier and better.C. Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness.D. Judging good or bad is important for our world. 第二卷 非选择题（共35分）第三部分 写作（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分35分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Its been just three years since UK singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran broke through i
