13、onths earlier，another group of Berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw.These experiments are a big advance from 2006，when a French scientist first replayed images from a human mind，a blackandwhite checkerboard pattern. The pos
14、sibilities are great：a disabled person could “speak”；doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted；you could rewatch your dreams on an iPad.There are，of course，equally dark side，such as the involuntary take out of information from the brain.In spite of these breakthroughs，Jack Gallant，the n

29、 creating successful businesses.Thomas Edison is a classic example.Though a brilliant inventor，he often failed when he tried to commercialize(利用牟利)his inventions.A frequent mistake is that they didnt do basic market research at an early stage.They have spent much money on patenting and tooling，only

A simple computer check may show incredible sources of information related to his item.As children we were told that Emerson had said，“If
31、 you build a better mousetrap，the world will beat a path to your door.”So many inventors think that they can sit back and wait for customers to arrive.He who thinks，in this day and age，that a product will sell itself is out of touch with the real world.Inventors often fail to realize that manufactur

38、port.D(2013山东高考)You cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.Thats why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rainsensing umbrella.The
39、 designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷) built into a street lamp
40、，” he said.The Lampbrella is a standardlooking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor，th

42、，it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed (安装) at 2 metres off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production，Belya

48、to the bank.Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree，aiming at the dove.The ant，perceiving his design，stung him in the foot.In pain the birdcatcher shouted，and noise made the dove take wing.47Two men were travelling together，when a bear suddenly met them on their path.One of th
49、em climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches.The other，seeing that he must be attacked，fell flat on the ground，and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout，and smelt him all over，he held his breath，and pretended to be dead as much as he could.The bear soon left him，for
50、he will not touch a dead body.When he disappeared，the other traveler descended from the tree，and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear.“ He gave me this advice，” his companion replied，“Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.”48A prince had some

57、写作(满分25分)假设你是校报小记者，最近进行了一次调查。以下是调查的情况：时间昨天对象学校2400名学生内容学生使用手机情况调查结果普及率及每月费用95%的学生有手机：其中65%的学生月消费40元左右，35%的学生月消费60元左右消费内容打电话，发信息，上网上网目的查找资料，看电影，玩游戏，聊天你的看法【写作内容】请你根据以上内容，用英文写一篇文章，内容包括：1调查的时间和对象；2调查的内容和结果；3你的看法。【写作要求】1只能用5个句子表达全部内容；2作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结构连贯。_综合检测(三)语篇解读：一句很普通的“我爱你”，在
58、爸爸弥留之际，作者经过自己的反复斗争终于说出了口。1C根据The doctors didnt know what had caused his disease以及He died just a few hours later可知我父亲的病是无法“治疗”的。2B根据后文的coming into my mind和后面一连串的问题可知，应该是成千上万的“想法”涌入脑海。3D根据后文I had no time可知，作者在责怪自己为什么没有和父亲一起“度过”更多的时间。4A根据I had no time可知，作者太忙了，没来得及说这些话。5B那时的爸爸已经病重，我不确定他能否“知道”我在那里。6C根据下文
59、的He was breathing hard可知，爸爸现在是“虚弱的”。7A根据上下文的叙述可知，爸爸一直没有“回应”我们。8C根据下文的叙述，他看了我，而且还说话了，这使我“太吃惊了”。9B下文“Hello，Son，”说明爸爸是“认出”了我。10D爸爸醒来了，而且能和我说话了，这应该是我对他说话的“机会”。11D根据前面的I couldnt get the words可知，这时的我太激动，这些字根本说不出“口”。12A根据此处的but可知，我“终于”说出了“我爱你”这句话。13B根据下文的as they softly left my lips可知，我现在觉得这些话是看似“很容易地”出了我的口
60、。14C根据后面的and understood可知，爸爸“听到了”我的话而且理解了。15B“在那一刻”作者感到无比高兴。16whose17.himself18.to put19.without20where21.was inspected22.the23.imperfect24what25.had not been语篇解读：2002年的科幻惊险片Minority Report讲述了电脑能够读取人类大脑的信息并能预测未来。在当时这只是一个幻想，但现在这种幻想正逐步变成现实。本文主要讲述了科学家们在这方面取得的研究成果。26A主旨大意题。本文的中心话题是科学家在利用计算机读取人类大脑想法方面所取得
61、的突破性进展，由此可知，A项做标题最恰当。故答案选A。27C细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“.decode brain waves and replay them as words.”可知，科学家们把脑波以文字的形式再现。故答案选C。28A推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二句话中的“The possibilities are great：a disabled person could speak；doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted；you could rewatch your dreams”，由此可知，这种研究并不能够帮助残
62、疾人说话，只是获取他们大脑中的信息并了解他们的想法。故答案选A。29C推理判断题。根据上下文及本文第五段中的“.invent a decoding machine you can wear as.”可知，解码器在推动这种技术发展上起着非常重要的作用。故答案选C。30B推理判断题。根据本文最后两段及关键语句“Such an advance into the human mind，he says，might take 30 years.”可知，这种技术的研究还有很长一段路要走。故答案选B。31A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“.designed to satisfy mans wants.”可知
63、，物理学的发展和发明成果的快速运用满足了人们的需要。32B细节理解题。由第三段第一句可知，美国的教师向学生传授一些物理学方面新发展的重要性和令人兴奋的事，因此A、C两项是美国教师做的；由本段第二句可知，他们是为了激起学生对物理的好奇心，符合D项，所以选B。33A词义猜测题。themselves所在的宾语从句的主语是some of their eager students，所以是指那些好奇的学生。34C细节理解题。前两段主要讲了物理学在人们生活中的应用。由于物理学新的发展和发明成果的快速使用，使世界发生了快速的变化，所以选C。35C主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了物理学在社会生活各个方面的应用，故选C
64、。语篇解读：大约98%的发明没有给发明家带来经济利益，这是为什么呢？36D主旨大意题。这四段告诉我们发明家没有从自己的发明中获利的原因。37A细节理解题。根据第三段可知a对；根据第四段可知b对；根据第二段可知c对；d没提到，因此选A。38B细节理解题。根据第六段的He talks about the“paranoid inventor”who cannot bring himself to trust anyone可知答案。39D细节理解题。根据末段的However，if the inventor makes an honest effort to understand the process
65、 of new product development，he can succeed.可知答案。40A推理判断题。根据第一段的The author of this book.和第六段的The author also devotes an entire chapter to.等都可看出本文摘自书评。语篇解读：本文为一篇科普文章。主要介绍了Mikhail Belyaev发明的一种雨伞。生活中我们常用的雨伞各种各样，那Mikhail Belyaev发明的雨伞又会是怎样的呢？让我们一起来一睹为快吧！ 41C推理判断题。根据第三段中的最后一句Sensors(传感器)then ensure that th
66、e umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.知Mikhail Belyaev发明的这种雨水感应式路灯伞是为了下雨时给行人提供遮蔽，因此选项C符合题意。42A推理判断题。根据第二段Mikhail Belyaev的叙述，有次下雨他开车经过一条大街，看到街灯亮了，照着那些试图避雨的人们，他突发奇想，在灯柱上安上个伞篷就可以在下雨时为行人提供遮蔽了，可知本文主要讲述的Mikhail Belyaev的发明是受一次经历的启发，因此选项A符合题意。 43B细节理解题。根据文中第三段的叙述，canopy是用来为行人遮蔽雨的，
67、它应该排在最后；再根据本段中的It has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.可知motor控制canopy，而motor的运动是受sensors的控制，故三者的排列关系是sensorsmotorcanopy。44D主旨大意题。根据第五段中的关键信息so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians，to protect from possible lightning strike和it would only be a danger for the t
68、allest of pedestrians可知第五段主要描述了这种伞的安全性，故选项D为正确答案。45C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的第一句While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production.可知还没有计划要把雨水感应式路灯伞投入生产，故B项错误；文中提到虽然没计划投入生产，但设计者把它介绍给了一个莫斯科的部门，而且他认为他的发明可以安装在行人多而无遮挡的灯柱上，可知设计者对自己的发明充满信心，因此答案为C；文中未提及选项A“发明者将自己开办公司来推广他的产品”以及选项D“灯伞将在莫斯科举行展览”。4650DCAFE【参
69、考范文】Yesterday I did a survey on how the cellphone is used among 2,400 students of our school.According to the result,95% of the students have cellphones,65% of whom spend around 40 yuan and 35% of whom spend 60 yuan each month.The money is used to telephone，send messages and surf the Internet.When asked why they surf the Internet，they say that they search for information，see films，play games and chat with friends.Personally，I think students should be allowed to bring cellphones to school，but they should focus more on their study rather than on entertainment.
