She had more than 20 books published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was "A Street in Bronzeville" that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerfuldescriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called "Annie Allen." "Annie Allen" is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor.Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called "Maud Martha." "Maud Martha" received little notice when it first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, "Corners on the Curving Sky"By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.24.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The life of Gwendolyn Brooks'sB.The poems of Gwendolyn Brooks'sC.The understanding about black cultureD.The struggle of black women25.What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks's from the second paragraph?A.She mainly wrote about struggles of black womenB.She was good at using the language of poetryC.He writing skills were a little wrote than her abilityD.Her poems were mainly about the African expensiveA.providing exampleing statisticsparing opinionsD.describing her experiencesA.The difficulties Gwendolyn Brooks's would meetB.the poems related to political issuesC.the award Gwendolyn Brooks's gainedD.the racial inequality the black had to faceCSince the 1970s scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computer Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people disabilities send commands to machine.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 hand.He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts."Our brain has billions of nerve cells.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.lan,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.28.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.29.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A.scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairputer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC.scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD.cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair30.The team will test with real patients to .A.make profits from themB.prove the technology useful to themC.make them live longerD.learn about their physical condition31.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 InjuriesDIn 1992,when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou.he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling” written by a Chinese student studying in the United States.The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the united States in 1911.Gardner, who later became a professor of physics at the University of California, had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the US were set up. But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering（叨念）“Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of his life.After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about. Her efforts endedin vain as she had few clues（线索）about the exact spot of the town. But a Chinese student lodging（寄宿）at the Gardners’ recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr. Gardner. The student wrote an article about Gardners’ story and sent it to the People’s Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.“After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs. Gardner through the departments co ncerned and invited her to visit Guling,” Xi told the media. Thanks to Xi’s arrangement, Mrs. Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992. She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom were over 90 years old at that time.It was a happy occasion for Mrs. Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.“She said that she would value this bond（纽带）of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”“I believe there are many such touching stones between our two peoples,” said Xi.32..
