10、 I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 21 to see that it was an English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for 22 learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I fo

11、und it extremely 23 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the 24 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 25 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 26 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after

12、 studying English at university for three years, I 27 that monolingual dictionaries are 28 in learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is , in fact, often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two 29 in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 30that a Chinese equivalent can never give you

13、 the 31 meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.32 , I have come to see what she meant. Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another i

14、mportant way. This dictionary uses a (n) 33 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 34 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain 35 and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.21.

Actually, _36_ wheelchair is one of the simplest dev

18、ices _37_ are available to assist the disabled. With the development of science and technology, other _38_ (advance) forms of devices like robots might come into use.For years scientists _39_ (devote) themselves to developing new types of robots that can be of help to the disabled. It remains to be

19、seen what will come out of their efforts, but _40_ is for sure is that these robots should meet the following standards.First of all, they should be easy _41_(operate).

This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or

23、 car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train

24、was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into si

25、ght. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as

26、 if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle

27、arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently. My father realized it was a good day for fishing an

31、d invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. Im so glad I did. On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all， it was protecte

32、d by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance. On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe it there arent any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them acro

33、ss the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whaleactually as big as our boatwas obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. ”Shes trying to he

34、lp her baby, but on the wrong side, ”my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right be

35、side its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breatheand

36、 to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance. In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals

41、.B. Fishing provides excitement for children. C. Its necessary to live in harmony with animals. D. Its vital to protect the environment.CSince 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 di

42、sabilities 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 persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking a

43、bout moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.our brain has billions of nerve cells. 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 preve

44、nt 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

45、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

46、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 rea

47、l 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.56. BCI is a technology that can _.A. help to update computer systems B. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to rec

48、over D. control a persons thoughts57. 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.58. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalpcomputerc

49、apwheelchairB. computercapscalpwheelchairC. scalpcapcomputerwheelchairD. capcomputerscalpwheelchair59. The team will test with real patients toA. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition60. Which of the following wo

50、uld be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center ks5uB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesDWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be sp

51、ent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What

52、drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful

53、civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be f

54、ound. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We h

55、ave already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space.While many resources are spent

56、 on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the abilit
