But it is not the case if you are quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者). Quadriplegics have lost the use of all four limbs. Thanks to a pro
10、ject organized by John Donoghue of Brown University, in Rhode Island, and his colleagues, quadriplegics have hope. One of the participants in his experiments, a 58-year-old woman who is paralyzed and unable to use any of her limbs, can now pick up a bottle containing coffee and bring it close enough
11、 to her mouth to drink from it using a straw. She does so using a thought-controlled robotic arm fixed to a nearby stand. It is the first time she has managed something like that since she suffered a stroke, nearly 15 years ago. Arms are more complicated pieces of machinery than legs, so controlling
12、 them via electrodes (多波段电极) attached to the skin of someones scalp (头皮) is not yet possible. Instead, brain activity has to be recorded directly. And that is what Dr Donoghue is doing. Dr Donoghue and his team have had small, multichannel electrodes implanted in the parts of the motor cortexes (运动皮
13、质) of participants brains associated with hand movements. Dr Donoghue and his team decoded signals from their participants brains as they were asked to imagine controlling a robotic arm making present movements. The woman and other volunteers were then encouraged to operate one of two robot arms by
14、thinking about the movements they wanted to happen. When the software controlling the arms detected the relevant signals, the arms moved appropriately. The arm that the woman used to help herself to a drink is a lightweight device developed by DLR, Germans Aerospace Centre, as part of its robotics p
15、rogram. Dr Donoghue and his colleagues have thus shown that a mechanical arm can be controlled remotely by the brain of a person with paralysis. Controlling an arm that is attached to the individuals body will be trickier, but in time even that may be possible. In the meantime, a robotic arm attache
16、d to a wheelchair will be a real soon. ()4What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AControlling a robotic arm via electrodes attached to the scalp.

BThe woman in the experiment drinks a bottle of coffee with a robotic arm attached to her scalp.
18、 CThe woman is encouraged to control the mechanical arm by moving her body. DThe robotic arm the woman used is remoted by DLR. ()6Whats the authors attitude to the future of the robotic arm attached to quadriplegics?APessimistic.BObjective.CControversial.DOptimistic. ()7Whats the main idea of the te
19、xt?AQuadriplegics can use the artificial limbs developed by Dr Donoghue and lead a good life by themselves.

20、ic can be on his feet again due to the new invention. 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了罗德岛布朗大学的John Donoghue和他的同事正在开展一个项目,使得四肢瘫痪的人有了希望。他们研究出了可由思想控制的机械手臂。在他的实验中,一位58岁的瘫痪女性,四肢不能移动,现在她可以拿起一个装着咖啡的瓶子,把它放到嘴边,用吸管喝咖啡。Donoghue博士和他的同事由此证明,瘫痪病人的大脑可以远程控制机械手臂。4B代词指代题。根据上文 “Arms are more complicated pieces of machinery than
21、legs, so controlling them via electrodes(多波段电极) attached to the skin of someones scalp(头皮) is not yet possible. Instead, brain activity has to be recorded directly. ”可知手臂是比腿部更复杂的机械,因此通过连接在头皮上的电极来控制它们还不可能。相反,大脑的活动必须直接记录下来。由此可知,记录大脑活动并植入电极正是Donoghue博士正在做的事情。故that指的是“记录大脑活动并植入电极”。故选B项。5A细节理解题。根据第一段中 “T
22、hanks to a project organized by John Donoghue of Brown University, in Rhode Island, and his colleagues, quadriplegics have hope. ”可知多亏了罗德岛布朗大学的John Donoghue和他的同事正开展的一个项目,四肢瘫痪的人有了希望。以及第二段中 “One of the participants in his experiments, a 58-year-old woman who is paralyzed and unable to use any of her l
23、imbs, can now pick up a bottle containing coffee and bring it close enough to her mouth to drink from it using a straw. ”可知在他的实验中,一位58岁的瘫痪女性,四肢不能移动,现在她可以拿起一个装着咖啡的瓶子,把它放到嘴边,用吸管喝咖啡。由此可知,A选项“多亏了Donoghue博士和他的同事们的研究,一个瘫痪的女人可以自己喝一杯饮料”,作者会同意这种论述。故选A项。6D推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “Controlling an arm that is attached to
24、the individuals body will be trickier, but in time even that may be possible. In the meantime, a robotic arm attached to a wheelchair will be a real soon. ”可知控制附在身体上的手臂将会更加棘手,但假以时日,这也可能成为可能。与此同时,安装在轮椅上的机械手臂将很快成为现实。由此可推知,作者对附着于四肢瘫痪者的机械手臂的未来持乐观态度。故选D项。7B主旨大意题。根据第一段中 “Thanks to a project organized by J
25、ohn Donoghue of Brown University, in Rhode Island, and his colleagues, quadriplegics have hope. ”可知多亏了罗德岛布朗大学的John Donoghue和他的同事开展的一个项目,四肢瘫痪的人有了希望。结合文章主要内容,由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是新研发的由思想控制的机械手臂可以帮助瘫痪者的日常生活。故选B项。CFood experts say washing could spread the germs (细菌) on your turkey in the kitchen sink to nearby
26、food. But its been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop washing uncooked poultry (禽肉). Germs that can make people sick are common in the body of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough co
27、oking will kill the germ. The do-not-wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasnt caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University
28、, said the natural tendency to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important. But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if its not
29、washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging. The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of Ecoli (大肠杆菌) and watched volunteer cooks at tested kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the
30、 germ to their cabbage. But even some of those who did not wash the chicken got germs on the cabbage. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking. To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer (温度计) to check that the deepest and thick
31、est parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you arent out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours. ()8People dont accept USDAs advice because_. Athe advice is relatively newBcooks clean the tur
32、key before cooking itCcleaning seems more trustworthyDheat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food()9Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?AGerms from chicken can be spread if it is washed. BGerms from poultry can be spread even if its not washed. CHands and surfaces are easy to get Ecoli. DMultip
33、le methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs. ()10Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?AUse a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey. BKeep the turkey away from the cabbage and refrigerator. CWash hands and packages before taking out the turkey. DWash the turkey before
34、it is heated. ()11Where is this text most likely from?AA diary.BA novel.CA guidebook.DA magazine. 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了食品专家说清洗火鸡可能会在厨房水槽或附近的食物中传播火鸡身上的细菌,但美国农业部的研究强调,无论是否被清洗,火鸡身上的细菌都会传播,同时指出用温度计检查火鸡的温度有助于安全地烹饪火鸡。8C细节理解题。根据第二段中查普曼说,美国农业部提出的“不清洗生禽”的建议相对较新,但可能还没有流行起来,因为这违背了人们普遍认为的“清洗可以使东西干净”的观念,由此可知,人们不
35、接受美国农业部的建议是因为清洗似乎更值得信赖。故选C项。9B主旨大意题。根据第四段可知,在那些清洗生鸡肉的人中,约四分之一的人最终将细菌传播到生菜上,但即使是一些没有清洗鸡肉的人,生菜上也有细菌,火鸡身上的细菌还有其他生存的机会:解冻和烹饪。由此可知,不管火鸡是否被清洗,它身上的细菌都会传播。B项符合第四段大意。故选B项。10A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 “To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer(温度计) to check that the deepest and thickest parts
36、of it have reached 165 degrees. ”由此可知,用温度计检查火鸡的温度有助于安全地烹饪火鸡。故选A项。11D推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “Food experts say washing could spread the germs(细菌) on your turkey in the kitchen sink to nearby food. ”及第四段中的 “But even some of those who did not wash the chicken got germs on the cabbage. ”及通读全文可知,本文介绍的主要内容属于科学,结合所给

With her fair skin, red hair, memories of bad childhood sunburn, and a family history of skin cancer, Schaefer is painfully aware of t

47、r Schaefer为例,说明了她对防晒的重视,以及分析了澳大利亚等国家最近几年皮肤癌发病率的数据,发现除了澳大利亚,少数几个国家皮肤癌发病率在年轻人中没有增加。12B推理判断题。根据第一段可知,Schaefer皮肤白皙,头发红润,童年时曾被晒伤,有皮肤癌家族史,她痛苦地意识到暴露在紫外线辐射下的危险,紫外线辐射是导致绝大多数皮肤癌的原因。以及第二段可知,所以她觉得难以置信的是,很少有人关心阳光安全,大多数人更喜欢崇尚阳光而不是保护自己免受阳光侵害。由此可推知,通过对Schaefer泳衣的描述,作者想要表明Schaefer非常重视防晒。故选B项。13C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知,年轻人中黑
48、色素瘤的发病率现在正在下降,因为全国性的调查显示,大多数澳大利亚人超过70%的成年人和55%的青少年不再喜欢棕褐色皮肤。以及根据倒数第二段可知,2013年的一项研究显示,除了澳大利亚,少数几个国家尤其是新西兰、加拿大、以色列、挪威、捷克共和国(女性)和美国(白人男性)患有黑色素瘤的比例在年轻人中正在下降或趋于稳定。由此可知,新西兰和加拿大共同之处在于皮肤癌发病率在年轻人中没有增加。故选C项。14D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,回到旧金山,Jennifer Schaefer正在尽最大努力教育下一代。她的大女儿一出门就自动戴上帽子。结合第一段中作者以Schaefer的例子来说明防晒的重要性,由此可
