I rented a motorcycle and headed into the interior of the island in search of isolated trails(踪迹） and sleepy villages. I rode for hours along dirt trails. I had to keep a close watch on the gas tank because there were no gas stations anywhere except at the village where I had rented the motorcycle. At half a tank, I had no choice but to turn back. The needle had just hit halfway and I was turning around to head back when I noticed an old tomb in the distance, far away from any village or other sign of habitation. I decided to stretch my legs before beginning the long trip home. I rode to the gate, killed the engine and laid the bike down. As I passed through iron gate, I couldnt help but notice how silent the place was. I had to whistle to reassure（消除疑虑） myself that I hadnt gone deaf. When I walked to the rear edge of an old tomb in the distance, an unusual sight caught my eye - a tomb that was twice as large as any of the others. When I looked inside the cabinet, I found out why. There was a photograph of a young couple with their arms around each other, laughing. The date of their deaths in the stone, were identical. Apparently, they were married and had died together in some kind of an accident. I cant relate all the feelings I had while looking at that picture of them together, bursting with youthful energy, their eager smiles full of excitement and anticipation (希望)of their lives together. A white marble cross that marked their graves had been broken off at the base, and had fallen on the ground at the head of the tomb. Small, orange wildflowers were growing up around it. This might not have been so unusual except for the fact that they were the only flowers growing anywhere in the tomb. The contrast of these symbols of life and springtime next to a symbol of death was so striking, I decided to take a photograph of it. I took my camera out of my backpack and took the photo from the angle I wanted. Before I left, I picked up their cross and put it back in place on their tomb. The sun was setting quickly and I was worried about finding my way back in the dark, so I decided to head home.71. Why did the author have to turn back at half a tank?A.

Brain-puter interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send mands 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 persons 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 municate 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 puter. The puter interprets the signals and mands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the puter react to mands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the puter software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple mands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: munication, 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 puter systems B. link the human brain with putersC. help the disabled to recover D. control a persons thoughts2. 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 puter cap wheelchairB. puter cap scalp wheelchairC. scalp cap puter wheelchairD. cap pute scalp wheelchair4. The team will test with real patients to A. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. 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。【参考方案】1-5、BDCBC键词应该出现在标题中，选B。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a bination of savings, ine, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart. “I have two kids in college, and I want to say e home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to xx, while average family ine rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “If we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.” Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many panies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.1. According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A. The twins wasted too much money. B. The father was out of work.C. Their saving ran out. D. The family fell apart.2. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to e home.B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D. They got help from the school and the federal government.3. Financial aid administrators believe that _.A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of plaintC. college tuition fees will double soonD. Americas unemployment will fall4.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B. Their ine remained steady in the last decade.C. They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.5.According to the last paragraph, the government will .A. provide most students will scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC. stop the panies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college students【文章大意】这是一篇关于学费贷款的文章。【参考答案】1-5、BDACD66.答案B。根据文章第一段的her husband lost his job可以得出，双胞胎儿子好上学交学费，丈夫事业，家庭陷入困境。停止，两者是对立关系。【xx高考英语湖北省八校联考】阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Do you enjoy seeing the stars twinkling at night ? Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with puter games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.The newly formed Wild Network a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and puter screen and into fields, woods and parks.Organizers say it is the UKs biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general wellbeing.A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify mon species has been lost.Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers（板栗）, camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Dont You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead.51. What is the main purpose of the campaign in UK?A. To save 30 minutes for watching TV programme each day.B. To encourage children to play outdoors.C. To see the documentary film, Project Wild Thing.D. To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.52. According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages from the campaign except _.A. improving health conditionsB. keeping touch with natureC. learning more about wildlifeD. teaching children how to make full use of their spare time53. The underlined part “ to get children muddy and bright-eyed ” means “_ ”.A. to make children covered with mudB. to urge politicians to do more things for childrenC. to encourage children to take part in outdoors activitiesD. to help children identify mon species54. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. A new campaign.B. Less screen, more play outdoors.C. A newly formed Wild Network. D.
