His poor jacketpatched（打补丁）trousers and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds，large rosy cheeks，and thin lips held in a steady smile.He walked towards a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him， saying，“Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair”Without a word，he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm， she helped him move in front of the chair， and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him，and learned his cane against the table where he could reach it.In a soft，clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss”“You are welcome, Sir.” she replied，“My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes，bacon，and hot lemon tea，Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane， and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir.”He nodded a thank you and sa id softly with a smile, “You are very kind！”When Mary went to clean his table，she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a 100$ bill.The note on the napkin read，“Dear Mary，I respect you very much， and you respect yourself，too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you. ”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she，or any of his employees, had seen him in person.【1】Mary ran over to the old man because___________A．the old man was the boss of the restaurantB．she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seatC．she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurantD．the old man had asked her wait on him【2】The old man came to the restaurant to_______A．have breakfast B．find out how his restaurant was workingC．see his employees D．see how Mary served customers【3】The words the man left on the napkin indicates that_________A．serving others is a respectable jobB．Mary would get a rise as a result of her kindnessC．respecting others means respecting oneselfD．Mary’ s kind service would bring in more money for her.【4】Based on the passage, all of the following words can be used to describe Mary EXCEPT______A．kind B．considerateC．calm D．helpful3.BUS SERVICENew York City — Brennan, New Jersey(Trip time: 30 minutes each way )Timetable●Buses leave the Railway Station, New York 7:00 a.m. and every half-hour thereafter(此后) until 11:30 p.m. (7 days a week).●Buses leave Brennan Station 20 minutes before and after every hour from 6:20 a.m. to 10:40 p.m. (7 days a week ).●Evening rush hours(5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) buses leave the Railway Station, New York every 15 minutes (Monday — Friday).●Holidays: buses leave every hour on the hour time, each direction.All tickets must be bought at Window 12, the Railway Station, New York, or at the Brennan Station Window before boarding buses.【1】What time does a bus leave New York for Brennan every Thursday?A．10:20 a.m.B．6:30 a.m.C．6:45 p.m.D．4:40 p.m.【2】Which is the latest bus you should take from Brennan if you have to arrive at the Railway Station, New York before 4:00 p. m. on Monday?A．The 3:20 p. m bus B．the 3:00 p. m busC．The 3:30 p. m bus D．The 3:40 p. m bus【3】What time does a bus leave Brennan for New York on Christmas Day?A．1:00 p. m B．9:40 a. mC．3:15 p. m D．8:30 a. m4.Maybe you have ever seen a cross. A cross can be a piece of jewelry or an image ina painting. But do you know the cross is a very popular symbol for Christmas？It came from the story of Jesus’ death on the cross two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. Jesus was Jewish，and at that time Jewish people were under Roman rule. Jesus was badly punished because he declared to be the Son of God and the King of Jews. Surely，the Son of God could have saved himself from the death！But the Bible says that Jesus had a reason to die that day. It was in God’s purpose that it would happen.[Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”. At first，it is hard to understand how a terrible day could ever be called good. Well，the story does not end there. Jesus died and he was buried. But three days later，Jesus was alive，and the whole world was changed.Today，Christians everywhere remember this important time. They celebrate Easter. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. After his death on the cross，Jesus’ body was placed in a tomb. On the third day from then，God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many people saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven. But before celebrating Easter, Good Friday should be remembered. Jesus died a horrible and painful death. He suffered, though he did nothing wrong. Christian believe that Jesus was God’s substitute(代表) for humans， because humans all do wrong. He died because of humans and he died for humans.Christians often wear crossed around their necks of hang them in their homes because they believe it is a very important sign. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them. It helps them remember how much his Son had to suffer. Seeing a cross always makes them think of Jesus’ death， and what it means.【1】According to the bible， why Jesus could not save himself from death that day？A．Jesus was not afraid of deathB．God arrange Jesus’ death for certain purposeC．Jesus should die without a reasonD．Jesus was not God’s Son at all【2】In Christians’ belief， for what reason did God want Jesus to die？A．God loved humans despite human’s wrong—doing，so he asked his beloved Son to die in human’s place B．Jesus did something wrong by acclaiming himself the Son of GodC．God wanted His Son Jesus to live with him in heavenD．God wanted “Good Friday” and “Easter”mainly to be remembered by humans【3】It can be inferred from the passage that____________A．a cross is a piece of jewelry or an image in a painting for ChristiansB．Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”mainly to reduce their pain for the loss of JesusC．if Jesus hadn’t returned to life，people would often wear crosses around their necks or hang them in their homesD．Christians like crosses because crosses always remind them of God’s love and Jesus’ death【4】The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to___________A．introduce a symbol for Christian---- the crossB．tell an interesting Christian storyC．inform the origin of two Christian festivalsD．describe the rebirth of Jesus二、其他Homesickness at collegeThe thought of college life is quite exciting for students as they taste independence for the first time at college. Their hard work and effort paid off after all. Though college life brings lots of dreams and expectations for students, most of them soon start feeling homesick. 【1】But change is a part of life and dealing with change helps us to grow. In the same way, homesickness at college is a brief experience which goes away once students start adjusting in their new environment.【2】Some students may turn to alcohol and drugs. So it is important that students who experience homesickness at college know about how to deal with it. Students should understand that rather than constantly thinking of their hometown, it is better to see it as a challenge and try to defeat it . Though it is not a difficult task, the time that will take each person to deal with home-sickness at college will be different according to their attitude and personality.【3】Youcan do that, too.Remember overcoming homesickness is accepting what you are experiencing. Many students think that being homesick is childish and undeveloped feeling and try to cover it up by acting cool or showing that they are very busy.【4】Besides, even their classmates will be going through the same emotions and feelings. Instead of trying to make them understand that they are totally fine after shifting to the new school, going through their emotions and thoughts about life at home for a day or two will be a better choice.【5】A．Homesickness helps students build up a better understanding of life.B．Homesickness leads to dangerous results if not solved properly.C．But they don’t realize that homesickness is common to people of all ages.D．You may miss your parents as you leave home for the first time.E. This is an important part in the process of beating homesickness.F. The main reason for the development of such a feeling is change.G. Believe this is a possible achievement that everyone can achieve.三、完形填空I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And_______otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always _____to sit at the back of the classroom.All this _______after I joined a sports team.

And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers:“When you d ie,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’“When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.”“Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ”“Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”I’ve observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I’ve seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I’ve observed friends just listen for as long as it takes.When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute to friendship:”Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”No one wants to go through difficult times alone.

True Friendship Lasts Forever.D . Good Friends Are Good Medicine.3. 阅读理解You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.The 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 built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed 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, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.（1）What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2?A . His creation was inspired by an experience.B . It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C . Street lamps are protected by canopies.D . He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.（2）Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A . motor→canopy→sensorsB . sensors→motor→canopyC . motor→sensors→canopyD . canopy→motor→sensors（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A . Its moving speed.B . Its appearance.C . Its installation.D . Its safety.（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The designer will open a company to promote his product.B . The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C . The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D . The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.4. 阅读理解Generations of children grew up reading comic books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. Comics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw comic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives.The Comic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze among adolescents for comic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of comic originating in Japan.The point is not to drop a comic book on a child’s desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate on often complex stories and charac-ters that they then revise,publish and share with others in their communities.Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in. And it turns out that comic books have other built-in advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that comic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and composition lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed comics out of hand are learning to exploit a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works.（1）Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A . Japanese Comic Books.B . Comic Books in the Classroom.C . Reading Efficiently.D . A Current Craze.（2）The main purpose of the Comic Book Project is to .A . develop the cooperation among adolescentsB . make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after schoolC . help students who have some difficulty in readingD . popularize a new method of teaching （3）It can be inferred that .A . comic books were first used in JapaneseschoolsB . parents have different opinions about their children reading comic booksC . more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of comic booksD . comic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country二、任务型阅读5. 任务型阅读Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.________Let’s look at som e different examples of body painting.________Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.________To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.________Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.________As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A.Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.B.Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.C.The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E.The women then decide which man they like best.F.The men pretend to fight each other.G.The men paint their faces yellow and red.三、完形填空6. 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.【1】What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A．Go shopping B．Find a houseC．Join his family D．Take his family【2】The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policemanC．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in Sydney【3】What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?[A．Showed B．Sent outC．Delivered D．Gave back【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．From India to Australia.B．Living in a New Country.C．Turning Trash to Treasure.D．In Search of New Friends.2.Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many，many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, unive rsity, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.【1】According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A．the social movement B．recycling techniquesC．environmental problems D．the importance of Earth Day【2】Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A．The grass –roots level B．The business circleC．Government officials D．University professors【3】What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A．They have cut car emissions to the lowestB．They have settled their environmental problemsC．They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures.【4】What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A．Education B．PlanningC．Green living D．CO reduction3.Recently I started discovering one thing which amazes me so much: how perfect everything is in the world we are living in! Just look, all day long we are busy working and just when we get tired, the night comes in, so we may sleep and relax. One day we may enjoy the bright sun and another day, when we get tired of the sun, the rain pours down.A few months ago I was so happy with my life. Later, I got tired from the happiness. I wished I would have some trial to strengthen my character and learn something new about life. I got what I wanted. Shortly after I got severe angina (心绞痛), so I had to stay home for several weeks. During this period I had time to rethink my life and discover myself. The lessons were terrific, but I felt grateful for this time.Another example: I have a friend, who primarily thinks about having fun. Once I thought why we get along well with each other and what in me attracts her. A couple of days ago I found the answer. I like calmness and silence. She likes noise and agitation (热闹). We attract each other just to balance ourselves, in other words, to give some drive to me and some calmness to her!So remember that the universe is so wise that it will try to balance you. As for me, this is perfect because extremes create suffering: too much food – too little food, too cold – too hot, too much fun – too little fun.【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that the author___.A．always feels down on rainy daysB．always tries his best to do everythingC．feels happy with everything in lifeD．is amazed at the changes in life【2】The example given in the third paragraph is to show that___.A．it’s necessary to get along with different peopleB．there exists a kind of balance in lifeC．a person shouldn’t just think of fun in lifeD．one sh ould put others’ interests above his own【3】The author would probably agree that___.A．we shouldn’t go to extremes in lifeB．we should be nice to others and ourselvesC．we should adapt ourselves to changes in lifeD．life can be annoying sometimes4.Metro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help,【2】 The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police．Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect.【3】 Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.【4】 In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and【5】.A．They hesitate and assess the risk of getting hurtB．This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect.C．Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is unclear. D．First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility.E. they did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.F. none of the people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help.G. the attacker didn’t stop stabbing her.三、完形填空While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this_______ process and found something that has changed my_______ at college for the better: I discovered ASL-American Sign Language(美式手语).I never felt an urge to_______any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The _______languages were enough in all my interactions(交往).

Yet instead of being discouraged by my ________ progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to __________ those meetings and learn all I could.The following term, I ________an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was ________. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. _________, if there had been any talking, it would have________us to learn less.

It’s also fun to just involve【8】 (you) in the culture of it," said Klement. Two years ago, when some friends【9】 (send) him 5.20 or 8.88 Yuan red packets, he had no clue about the hidden meanings. Now, he is not only quite familiar with them but also has been used to sending some."It’s nice to be able to say ‘I love you’ with 5.20 Yuan, I guess," he said, laughing. "I also remember【10】(try) to tick some of my friends off by paying back 99.99 instead of 100 just for fun.”五、短文改错文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。

He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,"May I get you something?""A coffee would be nice."Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,"How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?""Who?""The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life.

Aircrafts cross the world a day, while computers operate ata lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every yearmotor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts （吹嘘）of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag(时差); our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.8. The new products become more and more time-saving because .A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limitedC. the prices are increasingly highD. the manufacturers boast a lot9. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Imaginary lifeB. Simple life in thepastC. Times of inventionsD. Time for constant activity10. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?A. CriticalB. ObjectiveC. OptimisticD. Negative11. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past timesB. Machinery and humanbeingsC. Imaginations and inventionsD. Modern technology and its influenceDSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities to send orders to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of ne rve cells. 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 cases can prevent these weak signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with the outside world and also to control machines.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This cap picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the robotic 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 his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.12. How did Tavella 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.13. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair14. 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 condition15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, 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 Injuries第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
