1、檢測題17 Ⅰ. 閱讀理解 A 　　I just hope that our brains won’t crash(死機(jī)). Are you working on your typing skills to make you a more efficient worker? That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we’ll be able to control our computers with our brains by 2020. 　　Intel and its research partners are study

2、ing how brain acts when it thinks. For example, scientists have found that people’s brains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear. 　　Through sensors(感應(yīng)器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system than

3、ks to a chip in the brain. 　　“We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. ”Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld. “Eventually people may be willing to be, more devoted to brain implants(植入物). Imagine being able to surf the Web with the Power of your th

4、oughts. ” 　　Even if thinking about a bear isn’t enough to show that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that there’s a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard. 　　“If we can get to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ”he a

5、dded. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ” 　　While this may all sound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that it’s possible and something we’ll all want. “I think human being

6、s are unusually adaptive(適應(yīng)的), ”said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said, ‘I don’t want that. I don’t need that. ’Now you can’t g

7、et them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ” Make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard set-up before they’re old-fashioned. 【文章大意】本文主要講了現(xiàn)在Intel及同伴正在研究怎樣用人腦控制我

12、present computers D. the mouse and keyboard should be used to the full 【解析】選A。主旨大意題。最后一段作者風(fēng)趣地告訴讀者: 人類大腦將控制電腦是必然趨勢, 鼠標(biāo)和鍵盤終將被淘汰。 B We don’t know how different our future will be in the year 2050. We can only try to imagine it. At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will

13、use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely. Com

14、puters will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us. Spendin

15、g holiday will also be completely different. Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly. We could expect that the faster technologic

16、al progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition. A

17、lthough we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things wil
