第三篇Giant StructuresIt is an impossible task to select the most amazing wonders of the modem world since every year more _wonderful constructions appear. Here are three giant structures which are worthy of our _ admiration although they may have been surpassed by some more recent wonders.The Petronas Twin TowersThe Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world when they were completed in 1999. With a _ height of 452 metres, the tall twin towers, like two thin pencils, dominate the city of Kuala Lumpur. At the 41st floor, the towers are linked by a bridge, symbolizing a gateway to the city. The American_architect Cesar Pelli designed the skyscrapers. Constructed of high-strength concrete, the building provides around 1,800 square metres of office space on every floor. And it has a shopping centre and a concert hall at the base. Other features of this impressive building include double-decker lifts, and glass and steel sunshades.The MiUau BridgeThe Millau Bridge was opened in 2004 in the Tam Valley,in southern France. _ t _ the time it was built,it was the world’s highest bridge, reaching over 340m at the highest point. The bridge is described as one of the most amazingly beautiful bridges in the world. It was built to relieve Millau's congestion problems. The congestion was then caused by traffic passing from Paris to Barcelona in Spain. The bridge was built to withstand the _ most extreme seismic and climatic conditions. Besides, it is guaranteed for 120 years!The Itaipu DamThe Itaipu hydroelectric power plant is one of the largest constructions of its kind in the world. It consists of a series of dams across the River Parana, _ which forms a natural border between Brazil and Paraguay. Started in 1975 and taking 16 years to complete, the construction was carried out as a joint project between the two _ countries The dam is well-known for both its electricity output and its size. In 1995 it produced 78% of Paraguay’s and 25% of Brazil’s _ energy needs. In its construction, the amount of iron and steel used was equivalent to over 300 Eiffel Towers. It is a _ truly amazing wonder of engineering.第八篇Why India Needs Its Dying VulturesThe vultures in question may look ugly and threatening, but the sudden sharp decline in three species of India’s vultures is producing alarm rather than celebration, and it presents the world with a new kind of environmental problem The dramatic decline in vulture numbers is causing widespread disruption to people living in the same areas as the birds . It is also causing serious public health problems across the Indian sub-continent.While their reputation and appearance may be unpleasant to many Indians,vultures havelong played a very important role in keeping towns and villages all over India clean. It isbecause they feed on dead cows. In India, cows are sacred animals and are traditionally left in the open when they die in their thousands upon thousands every year.The disappearance of the vultures has led to an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs feeding on the remains of these dead animals. There are fears that rabies may increase as a result. And this terrifying disease may ultimately affect humans in the region, since wild dogs are its main carriers. Rabies could also spread to other animal species, causing an even greater problem in the _ future.The need for action is urgent, so an emergency project has been launched to find a solution to this serious vulture problem. Scientists are trying to identify the disease causing the birds,deaths and, if possible, develop a cure.Large-scale vulture deaths were first noticed at the end of the 1980s in India. A population survey at that time showed that the three species of vultures had declined by over 90 per cent. All three species are now listed as “critically endangered”. As most vultures lay only single eggs and take about five years to reach maturity, reversing their population decline will be a long and difficult exercise.第十一篇When Our Eyes Serve Our StomachOur senses aren’t just delivering strict view of what’s going on in the world;they’re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who’v e just eaten.Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on,inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis,France,wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-level thinking processes get involved.Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arri ve at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word,each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen — a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception ,not in thinking processes, Radel says.“This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs,” Radel says.1. What does the new study mentioned in Paragraph 1 find?C Hungry people are more sensitive to food-related words than stomach-full people.2. Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment?B Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testees, hungry and non-hungry.3. What does the writer want to tell us?C Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.4. What did the results of the experiment indicate?A 80 words flashed on the screen too fast for the participant to intentionally perceive.5. What can we infer from the passage?D Humans can perceive what they need without involving high-level thinking processes.第十九篇Musical Robot Companion Enhances Listener ExperienceShimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps t he music pumping based on listener feedback. The smartphone-enabled, one-foot-tall robot is billed as an interactive “musical friend”.“Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about their music,”said Professor Gil Weinberg, the robot’s creator. He will unveil the robot at the June 27th Google I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robots will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements.Shimi is essentially a docking station with a “brain” powered by an Android phone. Once docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user’s mobile device. In other words, if there’s an “app” for that, Shimi is ready. For instance, by using the phone’s camera and face-detecting software,Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its “ears”,or speakers, for optimal sound. Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi anal yzes it, scans the phone’s musical libraryand immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestion. Once the music starts,Shimi dances to the rhythm.“Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions, said Music Technology Ph. D. candidate Mason Bre tan. “Shimi shows us that robots c an be creative and interactive. ’’Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi to skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volume. The robot will also have the capability to recommend new music based on the user’s song choices and provide feedback on the music play list.Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to expand Shimi’s creative and interactive capabilities. “I believe that our center is ahead of a revolution that will see more robots in homes.” Weinberg said.Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive licensing agreement with Georgia Tech. Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the 2013 holiday season. “If robots are going to arrive in homes, we think that they will be this kind of machines一small, entertaining and fun,,,Weinberg said. “They will enhance your life and pave the way for more intelligent service ro bots in our lives.”1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the first three paragraphs?B Shimi is the creator of the musical companion.2. What does Shimi do if the user taps a beat?D It selects a perfectly-matched song and plays it in sync with that beat.3. Which of the following about Shimi is true?D Shimi can be creative and interactive.4. What does the author want to tell us?A The research center is developing a stronger and more versatile Shimi.5. Which of the following is Weinberg’s assertion?B human lives will be filled with more fun if Shimi is going to arrive in homes.。

We take from the ocean, and we give to it.We take f ishes f rom the ocean ― millions of kilograms of f ish, every year, to f eed millions of people. 1We even use their bones f or fertilizer.We take minerals from the ocean. One way to get salt is to place seawater in a shallow basin and leave it until it evaporates. 2Along with salt, other minerals are lef t after evaporation Much gold andsilver dri f t dissolved in the waters of the sea, too\ But the sea does not give them up by simple evaporation. Other gif ts f rom the sea are pearls, sponges and seaweed. Pearls become jewelry. 3Natural sponges become cleaning aids. Seaweed becomes f ood of many ki nds ― even candy, and ice cream ― as well as medicine. Believe it or not, f resh water is another gif t from the sea. We cannot drink ocean water. 4Some of its contents may cause illness .But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts are removed. In the f uture, we will f ind ourselves depending more and more on f resh wat er f rom the sea.The sea gives us f ood, f ertilizer, minerals, water, and other gif ts. What do we give the sea? Garbage. 5We pollute the ocean when we use it as a garbage dump Huge as it is, the ocean cannot hold all the water that we pour into it. Dumping garbage into the ocean is killing off sea lif e^. Y et as the world population grows, we may need the sea and its gif ts more than ever.We are f inally learning that if we destroy our seas, we might also destroy ourselves. Hopef ully, it is not too late.第二篇、Teamwork in TourismGrowing cooperation among branches of tourism has proved valuable to all concerned^. Government bureaus, trade and travel associations ,carriers and properties^ are all working together to bring about optimum' conditions f or travelers.1Travel operators, specialists in the f ield of planning, sponsor extensive research programs.They have knowledge of all areas and all carrier services ,and they are experts in organizing different types of tours and in preparing effective advertising campaigns. They distribute materials to agenci es, such as journals, brochures" and advertising projects. 2They of f er familiarization and workshop tours so that in a short time agents can obtain f irst-hand knowledge of the tours.Tourist counselors give valuable seminars^ to acquaint agents with new programs and techniques in selling. 3In this way agents leam to explain destinations and to suggest dif ferent modes and combinations of travel-planes ,ships ,trains ,motorcoaches, car-rentals, and even car purchases.Properties and agencies work closely together to make the most suitable contracts, considering both the comf ort of the clients and their own prof itable f inancial arrangement.4Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels , and , conversely6 , hotels rely upon agencies , to f ul f ill their contracts and to send them clients.5The same conf idence exists between agencies and carri ers, including car-rent al and sight services. Carriers are dependent upon agencies to supply passengers, andagenci es are dependent upon carriers to present them with marketable tours. All services must work together f or greater eff iciency, f ai r pricing and contented customers.第三篇、"Happy Birthday to Y ou"The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics: it won't slay American. No matter what it is, whether it is f ilms, f ood and f ashion, music, casual sports or slang, it's soon at home elsewhere in the world^. There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal.One theory is that it has been "advertised" and marketed through Am erican f ilms, popular music, and more recently, television. 1But this theory f ails to explain why American f ilms, music, and television programs are so popular in themselves.They are, af ter all, in competition with those produced by other countries.Another theory, probably a more common one, is that American popular culture is internationally associated with something called "The spirit of America".2 This spirit is variously described as being young and f ree, optimistic and conf ident, inf orm al and disrespect f ul.The f inal theory is less complex :American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in the world like it.Regardless of why it spreads^ ,American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other countries. 3As a result,7its American origins and roots are of ten quickly f orgotten.Happy Birthday to Y ou", f or instance, is such an everyday song that its source, its American copyright, so to speak 、is not remembered. Black leather jackets worn by many heroes in American movies could be f ound, a generation later, on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own.Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music. Some people can still remember a time when T-shirts, jogging clothes, tennis shoes, denim jackets, and blue jeans were not common daily wear everywhere. Only twenty years ago, it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his or her clothes. No longer so: those bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made f un of in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion. 4American in origin, inf ormal clothing has become the world's f irst truly universal style.The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning, when it was still clearly American, it was of t en strongly resisted. Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals, and was actually outlawed in several countries. Today, while still showing its rather Ameri can roots ,it has become so well established. Rock ' n,roll and all its variations, country & western music4, all have more or less similar histories. They were f irst resisted, of ten in America as well, as being "low-class," and then as "a danger to our nation's5youth". The BBC, f or example, banned rock and roll until 1962.And then the music became accept ed and was extended and developed, and exported back to the US.第四篇、The First Four MinutesWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become f riends? During their f irst f our minutes together, according to a book by Dr,Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The f irst f our minutes" ,he of fers this advice to anyone interested in starting new f riendships; " 1Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention f or four minutes. A lot of peopl e's whole lives would change i f they did just that."Y ou may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. 2He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to f ind someone more interesting in another part of the room. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear f ri endly and self-conf ident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves'.,'On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic' realizing that the other peraon has his own needs ,fears, and hopes.Hearing such advi ce, one might say, "But I*m not a friendly, sel f-conf ident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest f or me to act that way."3In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us f eel comf ort able about changing our social habits.We can became accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. it may be unf amiliar at f irst, but it goes much better than the old one,"But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-conf idence when we don't actually f eel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr,Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good f or social relationships2,especially during the f irst f ew minutes of cont act. There is a time f or everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best f or the f irst few minutes of contact with a stranger^, That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention f aults one f inds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.4Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to4relationships with f amily members and f riends. For a husband and wi f e or a parent and child, problems of ten arise during their f irst f our minutes together af ter they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these f irst f ew minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course5in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics.5In his opinion, success in lif e depends mainly on how we get along with other people.That is at least as important as how much we know.8。

第一篇Energy and Public LandsThe United States boasts substantial energy resources. Federal lands provide a good deal of US energy production ;the US Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing (租赁),both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf. Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.In 2000,32 percent of US oil,35 percent of natural gas, and 37 percent of coal were produced from federal lands, representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases. Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.Revenues from federal oil, gas, and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State governments. In 1999, for example,$553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury, and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues,of which 50 percent were paid to State governments. Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery. Each year, federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines, rail systems,pipelines, and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production, though the amount is still significant。

完形填空方面同样没有新增,以2012年新增未考第十二篇Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk为重点。
*第四十篇Teaching Math, Teaching AnxietyIn a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, the psychologists at theUniversity of Chicagol1Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math."If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers2 in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement3 said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers4. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn -- and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.Researchers use the word "anxiety" to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry.The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influencehow her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first- andsecond-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt5. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example,was probably anxious about math.Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxiousteachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did.Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math -- and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety."This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in needof replication with a larger sample6," said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri7 in Columbia.词汇:snowball /'snəubɔ:l/雪球;滚雪球式增长的事replication/repli'keiʃən/ n .重复,复现superstar/'sju:pəsta:/ n.超级明星练习:1.

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our LivesSugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose(蔗糖)and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant,grown throughout the world. ___ (46)Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery (糖果点心)to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable.___(47) Many crops withered (枯萎)and died, despite growers, attempts to save them, and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.In the 1960s,scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programmes, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, with genes from the more delicate, commercial type. ___ (48) This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.___ (49) Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world’s sugar, has coordinated an international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes function in sugar cane. ___ (50) This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientists believe they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.A Eventually, a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, butalso much stronger and less likely to die from disease.B Since the 1960s, scientists have been analysing the mysteries of the sugar cane,s geneticcode.C One major gene has been identified by Dr. Angelique D’Hont and her team in Montpelier,France.D The majority of the world's sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.E Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar Is therefore more guaranteed.F Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.第6部分:完形填空(第51~65题,每题1分,共15分)下面的短文有15处空白,请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。

Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they’re asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific research interest —birds, trees, flowers bud ding, etc. —and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover ahyper-local beat, citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live. All that’s needed to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send it in.气象科学家不可能足迹遍及天下。

第十一篇Computer MouseThe basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows us to point at things on the computer and it is very productive. Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting1, drawing, and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think2 how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at things before we learn to speak, so the mouse is a very natural pointing device. Other computer pointing devices include light pens graphics tablets and touch screens, but the mouse is still our workhorse.The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University. As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text, it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse, with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.3How does the mouse work? We have to start at the bottom, so think upside down for now. It all starts with the mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad, it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light-emitting diodes (LED) mounted on either side4. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detects a changing pattern of light, converts the pattern into an electronic signal, and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out the mouse body. This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen.So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used.5 One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.词汇: scroll /skrEu/ v.(在显示屏上)上下移动文本pad /pAd/ n.垫板mouse pad鼠标垫板graphics /5^rAfiks/ n.图形,图表tablet /5tAblit/ .n书写板graphics tablet图形书写板workhorse /5w\:khC:s/ n.重负荷工作部件shaft /FB:ft/ n.轴,杆状物emit /i5mit/ v.射出diode /5daiEud/ n.二极管cursor /FB:ft/ n.光标optical /5CptikEl/ adj.光学的注释:1. copying and pasting:复制和粘贴2. without stopping to think:没有停下来想一下。
“ stop +动词不定式”是“停下来去做某件事”,“ stop +动名词”是“停止做某件事”。
例如:We stopped to rest for a while.我们停下来休息一会儿。
He stopped smoking.他停止抽烟。
3. …started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks:使广大电脑用户开始踏上一条依赖鼠标完成常规电脑工作的道路。
computer public:电脑公众。
road to中的to是介词,所以后接动名词relying。
4. mounted on either side = mounted on both sides5. So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used:到目前为止,我们只限于讨论基本型的电脑鼠标,你们中间多数人也许拥有一个鼠标,也许你们已用过鼠标。
练习:1. Most computer users want to know how the computer mouse works. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned2. According to the author, general computer users need not to know how the computer mouse was invented.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3. The computer mouse derives its name from the cable that goes out its body, which looks like the tail of a mouse.A. Right B Wrong C Not mentioned4. The key components of a computer mouse are the two LEDs. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned5. When an ordinary computer mouse gets dirty, it has to be replaced with a new one.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6. The most durable computer mice on sale are the IBM ones. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned7. The optical mouse is superior to the basic one in that the former has no moving parts.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案与题解:1. B题句的意思是大多数电脑使用者都想了解鼠标的工作原理。
这与短文的介绍不符。
短文第一段第三句说,大多数电脑使用者天天用电脑却没有想到要了解一下鼠标的工作原理。
题句的信息是错误的,故答案为B。
2. C 题句表达的意思是,短文作者认为一般电脑使用者无需了解鼠标是如何发明的。
