1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,自20世纪70年代以来,科学家一直寻找途径能将人脑与电脑相连。BCI技术能帮助残疾人向机器发送指令。故此处B项正确。而C项只是部分正确,虽然能帮助残疾人,但却不能帮他们康复。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段可知Tavella只是思考动他的左右手就能操作这个轮椅。甚至当他观察这台机器时就能进行交流,也能用他的思想指导机器人工作。因此机器人是在人脑的思想支配下进行工作的。故D项正确。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,首先研究人员为用户设计一种特殊的帽子,它会捕捉头皮发出的信号并将其传给电脑。电脑将这些信号进行分析翻译,给监控下的机器人轮椅发出指令。机器人轮椅装有两部摄像头能识别信号路径中的物体,从而帮助电脑对人脑的指令作出反应。故此处C项正确。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from”可知,在患者身上进行实验是他们团队工作的一个目标,旨在证明这项技术对他们有益。故正确答案选B项。
5.C 主旨大意题。本文为科技说明文,开篇点题。介绍科学家研究的这项新技术BCI,对残疾人大有裨益。故正确答案为C项。
(四)(2011·安徽高考)
Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs.Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
1.From the text we know that windmills ________.
A.were invented by European armies
B.have a history of more than 2,800 years
C.used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D.have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
2.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A.Sailing a boat.
B.Producing electricity.
C.Grinding wheat into flour.
D.Pumping water from underground.
3.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.
A.wind power is cleaner
B.it is one of the oldest power sources
C.it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D.the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A.The advantages of wind power.
B.The design of wind power plants.
C.The worldwide movement to save energy.
D.The global trend towards producing power from wind. www.kgf8.com
答案与解析
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.”可推出,C项符合题意。
