Humans use their touch to protect themselves, to create emotional relationships with other people and to e

20、xperience pleasure. Can you imagine life without it?The sense of touch comes from a net work of nerve endings (神经末梢) and special touch receptors on the surface of the skin. While there are different kinds of touch receptors, they help usjudge pressure, texture and vibrations (震动). They are located i

21、n our fingertips, palms, soles of our feet, face, lips and tongue.When we touch something, the mechano-receptors feel the touch and through a network of nerves send signals to the brain. This informs the brain about the location of the touch, the amount of force used, and the speed at which it was u

22、sed.Several different techniques have been tried in the past few years to create such a robotic handusing three fingers. But this latest design by Soma copies the human hand. The gripper (钳子) is made up of flexible materials which grasp the thing based on its size and shape. Then air pressure is use

27、aterials23（8分）Nelle Harper Lee better known by her pen name Harper Lee, was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modem American literature. In 1991 an organization conducted

28、a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lees book trailed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What ma

29、kes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones (荷尔蒙）and anxiety, teenagers get through

30、 school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve (安全阀）一 it promises relief, a place to figure out ones problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. Some

31、 critics have called it an “impossible” achievement, a childrens book penned by a well-educated adult its unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But thats exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a well-educat

32、ed adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick, a third- year student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues 一 rape

33、, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The books setting, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lees words make her story fee

34、l alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the books avoiding complexity in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesops Fables. That absence of ambiguity (含糊其辞

35、）in this novel doesnt mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature student at Brown says, “There arent many hard moral questions being asked but it opens up all these other questions that 1 hadnt thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do y

36、ou sympathize (同情）with this character? Would you want to hang out with them? When you give a kid a book where those questions dont even need to be asked, it forces them to dig deeper.”Mallons criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. Thats especial

37、ly problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges (承认）racial discrimination (歧视）at all. However, To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Vamis, an

38、African Studies student at Brown says, “Its another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters,” she says.While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white authors perspective and ought to

39、 be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word. But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA(young adult) distillation (提炼）of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Lees novel is invaluable.1、According to the passage, the novel To Kill a Mockingbir

42、the characters.DThe kids are motivated to think further.4、Why is the novel well received by teenagers in the U.S.?ABecause it reveals racial discrimination in America.BBecause a white author tells the stories about black people.CBecause it makes some serious adult issues accessible.DBecause it is wi

43、dely used as a tool for moral judgments in society.5、What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?ATo tell us about the content of the novel.BTo explain the reasons for its popularity.CTo introduce some different comments.DTo approve of the creative writing style.24（8分） Australia is divided in
