Many said that managing the huge volume of internal emails was a burden during the working day. That pushed the compa

26、nys management to propose a solution, which - somewhat ironically - was sent to all staff in an email. “Together we will begin the following experiment, which will take us back in time to when people talked more,” managing director Emilio Colombo wrote, declaring an “email - free” week until 13 Nove

27、mber. “We invite you not to use email for internal communications (between colleagues at the same location), in favor of a more direct and immediate contact.”The companys president, Michele Moltrasio, tells the BBC it hasnt been easy to stop such an “ingrained” practice, temporarily, but that employ

34、botic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.However, unlike the plot of one filmwhich featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientists blood

35、streamthis device could not be put into blood vessels because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela

37、m to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year.

39、he robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually

40、be gotten rid of through the anus (肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent (透明的) on one side, the researchers can see the batteries and visually control the r

41、obots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr. Rus and Dr. Miyashita are determined to succeed.32. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to _.A. travel through a scientist's bloodstreamB. pho

42、tograph the body to convey to the doctorC. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairsD. operate on a person outside the body completely33. We learn from Paragraph 3 that _.A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB. the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnetC. digesti

43、ng the swallowed batteries is difficult for childrenD. the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice34. What may the experiment mean to the medical world?A. The surgeries will cost patients much money.B. Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.C. Fewer children will swallow

44、 the button cells.D. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.35. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?A. An Experiment on Robot B. Tiny Robot, Significant RoleC.

45、的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Who Writes the Presidents Speeches?The president of the United States must be an orator. The president gives an annual address on the State of the Union and speaks at the inauguration and other special events. _36_ In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln spoke fewer than 300 wor

46、ds, but those words have become memorable. Franklin D. Roosevelt set the standard for later presidents in his 30 “fireside chats”, which aired on the radio and dealt with the Great Depression and World War II.

George H. W. Bush, in his inaugural speech, imagined community volunteers and organizations as “a thousan

50、d points of light”. 39 The process of drafting a presidential speech is long and complicated, and different presidents make different contributions. Some write large parts of the text and invite criticism from assistants and advisers; others ask speech-writers to draft a speech in its entirety, and

51、then they edit it to their own satisfaction. _40_ The final product, whatever the process, must “sound” like the person who speaks the words.

52、 are a part of American history. B. Excellent writing skills are as available in business as they are in government. C.
