A
A chip inserted in a young quadriplegic's (四肢麻痹患者) brain is already improving his quality of life. Soon the benefits may be more widespread.
A 25-year-old man unable to move from the neck down recently did what many assumed impossible. After a knife attack that had left him paralyzed, all he could move was his head, which he used to push a switch and call for a nurse. And he could turn his wheelchair by blowing into a straw near his face. That was it.
Then last June, a Foxborough (Mass.) company called CyberKinetics opened the man's skull and inserted a special chip no larger than a baby aspirin. That insert has given him a few additional and precious abilities. When connected to a special computer via a cable, the chip translates the young man's thoughts into commands that let him move a cursor across a PC screen and open e-mail. He can draw a circle with a computer painting program. And he can use a robotic hook(钩)
to perform simple tasks like picking up a candy and sliding it across a table.
All he has to do is to think.
Several new studies have begun or been completed in the past year. In fact, more than half of the scientific papers in this field, called brain-to-computer interaction (BCI), have been published in the past two years, notes Jonathan Wolpaw, a research physician at Wadsworth Center, the New York State Health Dept.'s research laboratory.
Brain surgeries (手术) are no longer rare: Thousands of Parkinson's disease patients have had special devices inserted in their brains to ease uncontrollable shaking and other symptoms. The inserts themselves have improved, so the body doesn't reject them as furiously(猛烈地). And significant development has been achieved in software used to interpret the brain's signals and change them into commands understood by computers.
But increased demand for thought technology remains the biggest reason for the field's progress. Today, 4 million Americans live with paralysis according to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
Scientists hope that thought technology will reduce the impact of such disabilities. People with spinal-cord injuries, for example, often lose their ability to walk because the communications network between their brain and their legs has been interrupted. The brain still commands the leg muscles to move, but they don't hear its orders.
Thought technology, scientists hope, will bridge this communications gap. "Our goal is for you to see paralyzed people eating at a restaurant and for you not to know that they are paralyzed," says John Donoghue, founder and chief scientific officer at CyberKinetics.
56. What was the young man‟s trouble after a knife attack?
A. It was impossible for him to do anything.
B. He could not use his organs under the neck.
C. By no means could he call for a nurse.
D. He was unable to move his head.
57. What plays the most important role in improving the young man‟s quality of life?
A. A chip
B. A computer
C. A robotic hook
D. A company
58. What can we learn from Paragraph Six?
A. There used to be a lot of brain surgeries.
B. People with Parkinson's disease reject the use of the chip in their brains.
C. There has been some progress in the field of thought technology.
D. No software has been developed to interpret the brain‟s signals.
59. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Communications gap
B. Thought technology
C. American quadriplegics
D. Human brains
B.
Drug problems
If you're worried about your own or someone else's drug taking or misuse, it's good to know the facts.
Why take drugs?
Drug users don't start using drugs with the intention of becoming addicted. But many drugs contain addictive substances(物质) and even people who use them occasionally can become dependent and need to use them regularly.
Reasons why people start using drugs can include: to escape problems they may be having in other parts of their life, peer pressure and fitting in with another group of people, being curious about the effects of drugs.
If you start to use drugs on a regular basis, or if you become dependent on them, it can affect your family and friends as well as having a serious impact on your own physical and mental well-being.
Drug overdoses can be fatal. You can die instantly from misusing substances and drugs that you can buy over the counters.
Signs of drug abuse and misuse
There is not a common list of symptoms that you can use to tell if you or someone you know is misusing drugs. That's because drug use affects different people in different ways, depending on the type of drugs they're using.
Although anxiety, tiredness and a change in sleeping habits can be signs of drug use, they can also be caused by changes in your body, stress or other problems.
_____________________
Drugs are categorised into three classes based on their overall level of harm. Class A drugs are the most dangerous, however, all the drugs in all three classes are harmful and addictive.
Remember that all drugs are illegal, even Class C drugs like cannabis(大麻烟). If you're caught selling them to other people, or carrying a small amount in your pocket, it's likely that the police will get involved.
If you're found guilty of any of these offences, you may face a fine or time in custody(拘留), with Class A drugs carrying the most severe sentences.
Worried about a friend?
If you think that one of your friends or relatives is misusing drugs, you may want to approach them and talk about it. It's not your responsibility to make them stop, but you can tell them about how their behaviour is affecting your relationship.
If they ask for help with their problem, then it's important to listen and help them find the right information and treatment.
National Drugs Helpline
If you're worried about drug abuse and addiction you can call the National Drugs Helpline on 0800 776 600 for confidential advice - lines are open seven days a week. Calls are free and they won't show up on your phone bill, but you may be charged if you use a mobile.

B. People who take the same drug are affected in the way alike.
C. Anxiety, tiredness and a change in sleeping habits result from drug use only.

Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you‟re hungry and sleep when you‟re tired. What do you think will happen?
You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You‟ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don‟t know what time it is, your body does.
These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our internal clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.
Everyone‟s rhythms are unique, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But overall, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day.
Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal（内部的）clocks. Now, new discoveries are giving scientists insights into how these clocks work.
Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse on tests and quizzes. And working shifts at night leads to higher rates of heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how
healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, Director of the Sleep Disorders Research Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Scientists still aren‟t sure why the timing of sleep matters so much, Shea says. But research findings suggest that our circadian rhythms are more important than we give them credit for.
“During the night, we are prepared to sleep,” Shea says. “During the day, we are prepared to eat and move around. If you reverse (颠倒)what you are doing, everything is out of phase. That can have unfavorable consequences.”
64. According to the passage, if you don‟ t have a clock, ________.
A. you still know the time
B. you will be out of order
C. you don‟t feel hungry or tired
D. your body can still work normally
65. The underlined phrase …Circadian rhythms‟ in Line 6 probably means ________.
A. habits
B. body chemicals
C. clocklike systems
D. bad consequences
66. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. your rhythm is exactly the same as your twin sister
B. children who often go to bed too late may not do as well as those early birds.
C. everyone will be healthy if they fix the time for eating and sleeping
D. heart disease, diabetes and obesity result from working shifts at night.
D
Kunta wondered why the white people had done this to him. Born a free man, he was now in chains. Heavy iron chains around his feet and hands were fixed to a metal bar that ran round the hall about ten centimeters off the ground. He was just able to lie down on the ground, but could not stand up.
Kunta had been seized in the forest and then hit on the head with a hard object. When he woke up, his hands and feet had already been tied together. What shocked him most was that the men who carried him were black. He reasoned with them, and tried to persuade them to set him free. But they would not listen to him. When they came to the river, a white man was waiting in the boat for them. There was an argument about money, so it seemed, in a language that Kunta did not understand. Finally, Kunta was thrown into the bottom of the boat and covered with an old smelly cloth. The men took him in their boat to the castle on the coast where he was now held prisoner.
Another thing which shocked Kunta was that women were held in the castle too. He could hear their crying, also children‟s voices. What was to become of them all, he wondered. For all his life, he had known that people suddenly disappeared from their villages. He had known that it was not safe to travel alone in the forest near the coast. But why did white people want to catch Africans and put them in chains? Would they be killed or even eaten? The situation seemed hopeless and he knew his life was in danger.
Worse was to come. A few days later about 140 black people were taken and put on a tall sailing ship waiting off the coast. Once on the boat, they were taken below and their chains were fixed to two bars that ran the length of the ship. Their feet were fixed to one bar and their hands to another bar. Thus they lay on hard wooden boards, unable to stand up or move around.
The sea journey lasted over sixty days and nights. They had rough weather and Kunta‟s back bled from rolling over on the hard wooden boards. Many of the men fell sick with fever. They sighed and cried out for more water, but food and water were only given out once a day. Once in a while sailors came down, Kunta thought, to carry sick men upstairs for treatment. When the ship finally arrived in a port, the wooden cover was opened wide and Kunta could see in daylight for the first time across the part of the ship where he had been chained. About a third of the people who had been chained up below at the beginning of the journey were missing.
67. Where was Kunta seized?
A. In the castle.
B. In the bush.
C. On the shore.
D. In the forest.
68. Why was Kunta caught by the black people?
A. He would be made a servant.
B. He would be sold for money.
C. He would be used to work on the farm.
D. The white people forced them to.
69. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Only one third of the people were still alive at the end of the journey.
B. The castle on the coast was used for a place where black people were held prisoners.
C. Women and children were also caught to have more slaves.
D. The sea journey was about two months.
70. What happened to the sick people who were carried upstairs？
A. Many people were dead.
B. Many people escaped.
C. Many people were saved.
D. Many people were set free.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

One of the Earth‟s most important natural resources is its atmosphere. The atmosphere contains air without which plants and animals could not survive. If people are to protect and preserve this unique natural resource for future generations, they must continue to address the problem of air pollution, which affects the atmosphere from the local to the global scale.
Air pollution and concern about air quality are not new. Complaints were recorded in the 13th century, when coal was first used in London. Since the middle of the 19th century, the atmosphere of major British cities was regularly polluted by coal smoke in winter, giving rise to a mixture of fog and smoke known as smog.
Poor air quality in cities is now considered to be a more pressing environmental problem. Today poor air quality mainly results from the production and consumption of energy, industrial processes and road transport.
Road transport in particular is becoming an increasing source of air pollution. Today‟s transport-related problems are likely to worsen because of the increase in traffic. Individually, a vehicle is not a main source of pollution. Collectively, however, vehicles represent a major source of air pollution in the UK and throughout the world. The best ways to reduce the threat of air pollution are to use cleaner fuel and less of it, and adopt more sustainable modes of transport, such as public transport, walking and cycling.
Having recognized the problems that air pollution causes for the environment and society, the UK government published the first National Air Quality Strategy in 1997, setting air quality standards in the present and making an effort to achieve new air quality objectives in the future.

To build a harmonious society, the government is taking a series of measures. As is known to all, increased efforts to improve the people‟s livelihood will start with the most realistic problems, which people are concerned about most and are most directly related to people‟s interests.
To promote employment, the government will provide more opportunities, and encourage people to start their own businesses. Training for jobs and timely help will also be provided for jobless families. Besides, the government will increase investment in education, and meanwhile the nine-year compulsory education will be carried out all over the country. Much to people‟s delight, the government will try its best to improve the social security system, with more residents to be covered by pension and medical insurance. What‟s more, mo re efforts will be made to stop pollution, so people can enjoy clean water and fresh air.
Personally, if all these measures are to be taken effectively, people will enjoy a happier life.。
