Friendship has been the favorite subject of movie makers for a long time. Many movies are based on lovely relationships like friendship.

You can see such friendship in movies such as“Harry Potter”and“Lord of Rings”. Harry Potter has two friends. All of them are interested in the use of magic.

　　Friends make sacrifices(牺牲): In most of the movies, friends make sacrifices for each other. A good example is“Sholay”. In this movie, there are two friends Jay and Veeru who are there for each other till death. Jay sacrifices his life to save his friend.

　　Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.

　　Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan 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. Millan, 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 front. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.

　　1.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

　　2. 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.

　　3. 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 → compute →scalp →wheelchair

　　4. The team will test with real patients to

　　A. make profits from them

　　B. prove the technology useful to them

　　C. make them live longer

　　D. learn about their physical condition

　　5. 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

　　【文章大意】科普说明文。本文介绍了BCI脑机接口技术，它是帮助残疾人向机器输送指令。

　　阅读理解Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).

　　Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠)at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding(打滑)on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly, ”Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and I dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in. ”

　　Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

　　Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. ”

　　It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳手)and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. ”

　　His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours. ”Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

　　【文章大意】本文记述了Mr. Johnson由于车祸被困于水下车内半个小时, 最后死里逃生的故事。

　　1. What is the best title for this newspaper article?

　　A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, a Sweet Salesman

　　B. Car Boot Can Serve as the Best Escape Route

　　C. Driver Escapes through Car Boot

　　D. The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident

　　2. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?

　　A. luckily the door was torn away in the end

　　【解析】选A。推断判断题。根据第四段最后一句“. . . but no help came. ”及最后一段的第一句“. . . Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby. . . ”可推知地点是在寂静的农村。

　　【技法导练】多学一点　棋高一着

　　阅读理解——运用词性转化破解阅读理解

　　这篇阅读理解中的. . . by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot中的sound和hammer都是名词转化成的动词。sound(n. )→(v. ) ______; hammer(n. ) ______→(v. ) ______。

　　做题时, 多注意词性转化也会让我们更好地理解文章。例如: To perfect her already excellent English, she has set new goals for herself and focuses on understanding grammar rules. 这句中的perfect是形容词转化的动词。perfect(adj. )→(v. ) ______。We back schools in using these powers to deal with problem pupils. 此句中的back也是词性转化, back(n. )→(v. ) ______。此处是动词, 表示支持。

　　由此可知, 当我们遇到熟悉的单词时, 要根据语境来判断其词性推测其词义。
