Even though she’s just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five l anguages. She’s a good reader. She can tell time and do sim ple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-
blue eyes, and a button nose.
But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can s ee, think, and do as she’s told. The eagle-
eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony’s barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize v oice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibo’s innovatio ns(创
新) one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The e ffect is a doll that appears to be learning.
The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decad e trying to see how much human nature it could breath into an inanimate(无生命
的) object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense li ght, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sig ht, their toys seemed to be lacking in one of the abilities that li fe-forms use to react to their environment.
So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy’s case, it’s a multistep process. When presented a text like “I lo
ve you” and asked “Can you read this?” Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt digital camera scans a 15-
degree radius in search of number- or letter-
shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindy’s 16-
bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 70 0 words. If it’s a match, “ I love you,” she says.
63. This passage most likely appears in a _______________.
A. medical report
B. classified ad
C. science journal
D. music magazine
64. The underlined “ it ” in the third paragraph most likely refer s to _____________.
A. the process
B. the object
C. the doll
D. the company
65. According to the passage, how can Cindy “ see ”?
A. She recognizes any text as “I love you”
B. She is equipped with a camera to search for text
C. She is instructed by an engineer standing next to her
D. She makes contact with the shapes of the text with her sto mach
D
The problem started when the family moved and Chris went t
o study in another school. He made friends with a new set of kids, some of whom took drugs. The first time Chris used coc aine(可卡
因) was with friends at Larry’s home. Everyone pooled their m oney to buy few grams of cocaine. Larry said to them, “It’s saf e as long as you don’t use it too often. It won’t turn you into an addict like other drugs.”
During the following years, the group tried crack (价格不贵的强效可卡因) along with cocaine. Chris bragged(吹
嘘), “ I can handle this material!”
Larry agreed. “As long as you only take a little bit, you will be okay.” He said. He sold it to them “at cost” and described it as “pure cocaine”.
When one friend ended up in the hospital from an overdose, Chris thought, “That will never happen to me. Since I’m mostl y sniffing the drug, I won’t have any problem.”
At the age of 16, Chris dropped out of school. When his paren ts tried to change his mind, he left home without telling them where he was going. He lasted two weeks working at pizza pa rlor before getting fired for stealing money. That’s when he sta rted selling cocaine. “I’ll only do this until I get back on my feet .” He told himself.
Chris’ family found him living alone in a run-
down part of town. A school friend had called the family to tell them where he was. “It probably saved my life, “Chris says, “I was half-dead.”
To pay for Chris to enter a drug treatment center, his dad took a second job. Chris is grateful to getting treatment. Now he is able to see colors again. In the depths of his addiction(上瘾) he saw everything in black and gray.
66. How did Chris begin to use cocaine?
A. His friend, Larry, persuaded him to do so.
B. he wanted to use cocaine only by himself.
C. All of his friends taught him how to use cocaine.
D. He liked cocaine very much.
67. Which of the following is true?
A. Chris got crack and cocaine from Larry free of charge.
B. Larry sold crack and cocaine to Chris and some of his frien ds.
C. It is safe to use a little cocaine.
D. Chris used cocaine for half a year.
68. Which of the following is not true?
A. Chris left school at the age of 16.
B. Chris stole money while working at a pizza parlor.
C. Chris began selling cocaine two weeks after he left school.
D. Nobody called Chris’ parents to tell them where he was.
69. When Chris’ parents found him in a run-
down part of town, he was ______.
A. all right
B. very happy
C. with some friends
D. in bad health
70. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____.
A. Chris gets free treatment
B. Chris wants to thank his parents for giving him treatment
C. Chris’ dad works hard in order to be rich
D. Chris’ has a good eyesight in seeing colors

The Great Wall of China can, indeed, be seen from outer sp ace with the naked(赤裸的)eye.
So education officials, who felt worried about changing textbo oks—
which have long held that the Great Wall and the dykes(堤堰)in the Netherlands were the only man-
made structures visible from space—can breathe easy.
Yang Liwei, the nation’s first spaceman, disappointed a lot of Chinese when he said he did not see the wall during his orbit
of less than 24 hours in October 2003, giving rise to calls for r evisions in textbooks.
But there is a rider: There are many, many structures which can also be seen, such as the Pyramids of Egypt, airports, hig hways and even ’s Third Ring Road.
Undoubtedly, it requires an atmospheric “perfect storm” in ou ter space, defined as an altitude of about 350 km and you hav e to be in the right place at the right time, amid(在…
中)the right conditions to spot a particular structure. Chinese-American spaceman Leroy Chiao, who has been on three spa ce flights and is currently coming to the end of his six-
month stint(期限)on the joint US-
Russian space station, has provided the first photographic evi dence of sections of the Great Wall using commercially availa ble equipment.
According to Chiao, the chances of shooting the Great Wall area are “maybe once every few days and only during dayligh t every three months.” Since late March, Chiao has had just o ne opportunity to fly over the Great Wall, but the weather was dangerous. He has one last chance before he is scheduled to land in on April 25—and he will be keeping a sharp lookout.
71. Now the education officials “can breathe easy” because th ey know ______.
A. they don’t need to change the textbooks
B. they’ve not been seriously mistaken
C. what Yang Liwei said was not true
D. they can revise the textbooks as wished
72. What does the underlined word “rider” in the 3rd paragrap
h possibly mean?
A. An imagined conclusion.
B. An added statement.
C. A person in a spaceship.
D. A strange thing.
73. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passa ge?
A. Yang Liwei orbited around the earth in less than 24 hours .
B. Leroy Chiao shot the Great Wall with commercially availa ble equipment.
C. To spot a particular structure in outer space, you need rig ht conditions.
D. Leroy Chiao is expected to land in the on April 25.
74. One can get a chance to see the Great Wall from the spac
e station________.
A. every few days
B. only once every three months
C. only when it’s in daylight
D. only when the weather is dangerous
75. The writer’s attitude towards the fact that the Great Wall c an be seen from outer space is _________.
A. objective
B. doubtful
C. opposed
D. supportiv e
