A
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.
1. We should take good care of our eyes________. .
A．only when we can see well
B．only when we cannot see perfectly
C．even if we can see well
D．only when we realize how important our eyes are
2. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is
probably________. .
A．near-sighted B．far-sighted
C．astigmatic D．suffering from cataracts
3. The underlined word “suffer〞 in the second paragraph probably means_______. A．experience B．imagine C．feel pain D．are affected with
4. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for_______
A．seeing at night B．seeing objects far away
C．looking over a wide area D．judging distances
B
You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals(透露) plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect〞 was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it ,we’ll become more intelligent.
The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget〔预算〕 so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk. I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about t he evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.
D. There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.
6. Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect?
A. Because a study described it in the journal Nature.
B. Because Mozart himself was a genius.
C. Because Mozart’s music is enjoyable.
D. Because Mozart’s music makes people relaxed.
7. The underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that .
A. the idea was accepted by many people
B. people were strongly against the idea
C. Mozart played an import ant part in people’s life
D. the US government helped promote the idea
8.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Listening to Mozart , necessary?
B. What music is beneficial?
C. What is the Mozart effect?
D. To be or not to be?
C

“My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class．No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollars．On your life road, you may be knocked down(击垮)or even broken into pieces by your determination or unfavorable situations．We may feel ourselves worth nothing, but, my darling, remember that whatever happens in the future, you should never lose your value(价值)in the God's heart．You're particular－never forget it．〞

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(界面)(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated〔展示〕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 band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. 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 conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,〞Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.〞
The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized 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 scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.〞
He 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. BCI is a technology that can _____ .
A. help to update computer systems
B. link the human brain with computers
C. help the disabled to recover
D. control a person's thoughts
13. 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.
14..Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

余选项。

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home
from school. 16 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness〞, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s
college basketball tournament (HY人每年65团队的大学篮球锦标赛). 17 Teams
compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 18 Colleagues against bosses.
Big –name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little –known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 19
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 20 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (HY) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post –season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. Husbands against wives.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
