11、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
12、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

16、achine.C.By moving his hand.D.By using his mind.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段可知Tavella只是思考动他的左右手就能操作这个轮椅,甚至当他观察这台机器时就能进行交流,也能用他的思想指导机器人工作。因此机器人是在人脑的思想支配下进行工作的。故D项正确。3Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A.scalpcomputercapwheelchairB.computercapscalpwheelchairC.scalpcapcom
17、puterwheelchairD.capcomputerscalpwheelchair答案C解析细节理解题。根据第五段可知,首先研究人员为用户设计了一种特殊的帽子,它会捕捉头皮发出的信号并将其传给电脑。电脑将这些信号进行分析翻译,给轮椅发出指令。机器人轮椅装有两部摄像头能识别信号路径中的物体,从而帮助电脑对人脑的指令作出反应。故此处C项正确。4The team will test with real patients to .A.make profits from themB.prove the technology useful to themC.make them live longerD
18、.learn about their physical condition答案B解析推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from.”可知,在患者身上进行实验是他们团队工作的一个目标,旨在证明这项技术对他们有益。故正确答案为B项。六、七选五阅读理解1.
