Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than m ost of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.Passage 2Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (变白) of the Great Barrier Reef, which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.1. The Information Highway .A. appeals to a large number of usersB. is crowded with car driversC. offers just a few on-line servicesD. is free from traffic accidents2. How does MR. Cool manage to travel the Information Highway so fast?A. By storing fewer files.B. By using a broad-band connection.C. By buying a better computer.D. By repair the system.3. What can be learned from Passenger 2?A. There will be a book show at Grayson Hall.B. There will be a talk on global warming this week.C. Friedman is now studying the Great Barrier Reef.D. Friedman is a leading expert on computer science.4. Passage 2 is most probably .A. an introduction to a professorB. an ad for a new bookC. a note to a doctor in a universityD. a poster about a lecture新闻报道类（一）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 Milan 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. Milan, 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 from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.1. 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.2. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→ computer → cap → wheelchairB. computer → cap → scalp → wheelchairC. scalp → cap → compute r→ wheelchairD. cap → computer → scalp → wheelchair3. The team will test with real patients toA. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries（二）In today’s throw away society, dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市议会)。
