填空题A sticking plaster may appear to be a grossly inadequate treatment for a paraplegic. Attach a few electrodes, though, and a device that resembles such a dressing could help translate into actions the thoughts of people who are paralysed. In 2008 a practical version will be shown to work and the first individuals will be recruited to try them for real. Paralysis is a breakdown in communication. The brain does not t0rget how to ride a bicycle. 41. ____________________________________. John Donoghue of Brown University in Rhode Island has been working on how to restore that link. He has shown that the technology he has developed works, albeit only for a handful of people who were prepared to endure having a tangle of wires dangling from their heads. In 2008 Mr. Donoghue and his colleagues will turn their device into something that looks like a hearing aid and whose use could become almost as routine. 42. ______________________________. When the nerve cell fires, this electrical activity will be picked up by the wire and conveyed to the silicon chip. 43. ____________________________________. Power will come via an inductive coil placed under the scalp and next to another on top of the scalp, which will be attached to a battery. This, and a computing unit worn on a belt, will be the only parts visible outside the body. Ultimately the team intends to implant the computer unit in the chest, connected to the brain by a fibre-optic cable. The researchers reckon their device will be able to direct a motorised wheelchair or move a robotic hand. But they also want to restore to paraplegics the use of their own bodies. 44. ______________________________. Connecting the two systems together would mimic the way in which the body normally works. But restoring useful movement to paraplegics involves more than making muscles work once more. It also means restoring a capability that most able-bodied people do not realise they have: the use of sensory feedback to fine-tune actions. 45. __________________________________________. In order to achieve this, in 2008 Mr. Donoghue and his colleagues will develop their system to run in reverse. Because the monkeys used in the tests will not be paralysed, the implant will not only broadcast what the brain is doing but also eavesdrop on what happens to the nerve cells when they are receiving information. This could then be mimicked in people. The idea is that paralysed people could operate, say, a robotic hand with sensors that collect information about the pressure and temperature they encounter and convey these data back to the brain. That is, the human brain will be stimulated to feel what the robot senses. Not bad for a device that looks like a sticking plaster.[A] The researchers will implant a silicon chip the size of a small button into the brains of monkeys. The chip will be fitted with an array of 100 thread-like gold wires, each of which will be attached to a nerve cell in the brain.[B] Hence their involvement with Hunter Peckham of Case Western Reserve University. He is developing a system which electrically stimulates muscles to make them move once again.[C] Years after paralysis has struck, the same nerve cells fire when someone is thinking about moving ; it is just that the rest of the body does not receive the message.[D] There are many kinds of sticking plasters, which are now in wide use in many countries. But sticking plasters are not very adequate to treat paraplegics and paralytics.[E] Reach out to pick up a cup of hot tea from a vending machine and, as your hand touches the cup, it subtly adjusts its grip so that enough strength is used to lift the cup without crushing it and burning your fingers.[F] The next step will be to transmit this information from the skull to the outside world. A second device will be attached to the silicon chip to do this. It will transmit data through the skin using pulses of infra-red light, just like a remote control.[G] A robotic hand is equipped with sensors, which are mainly used to collect related information and transmit it to the outside chip. Then this chip will process the message and inform the paraplegic to move his or her muscles.

填空题The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don't come with an instruction manual. And each child is different.41)__________. To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy, each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with.42)__________. But once they "leave the nest" at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not "tied to their mother's apron strings." 43)__________. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans don't make their parents pay for room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents. 44)__________.Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children. A number of women are now leaving the work force to become full-time homemakers. 45)__________.Many parents feel that an old-fashioned spanking helps youngsters learn what "No!" means. Others prefer alternate forms of discipline. For example, "time outs" have become popular in recent years. Children in "time out' have to sit in a corner or by a wall. They can get up only when they are ready to act nicely. Older children and teenagers who break the rules may be grounded, or not allowed to go out with friends. Some of their privileges at home--like TV or telephone use—may also be taken away for a while. Although discipline can' t fun for parents or children, it's a necessary part of training. Being a parent is a tall order. It takes patience, love, wisdom, courage and a good sense of humor to raise children (and not lose your sanity). Some people are just deciding not to have children at all, since they're not sure it's worth it, But raising children means training the next generation and preserving our culture. What could be worth more than that?A. The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals--not as extensions of them- selves. They allow them to fulfill their own dreams. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed.B. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration, not knowing what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is influenced by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American values.C. Disciplining children is another area that American parents have differing opinions about.D. Naturally, every parent wants their child to be safe, whether the child is online or on the school bus. And certainly if you suspect your child is involved in drugs, inappropriate relationships, or other dangerous situations, it' s your responsibility to step in and intervene using whatever tools are necessary.E. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults still seek their parents' advice and approval for the choices they make.F. Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children, In recent years, though, a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day care center so Mom can work.G. Keep the family PC in an accessible part of the house where you can easily keep an eye on your children's activity, and limit the amount of time your kids spend online. Discuss some of the dangers of the Internet with older children, and make sure they understand that they should not provide personal information such as their name, address, or school to people they meet online, and they should never agree to meet an online acquaintance face to face without your permission.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41 - 45, choose the most suitable one from the list A - G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) (41)______ Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians, It is so comfortable to be a minor! If I have a book which provides meaning for me, a doctor who will judge my diet for me and so on, then I do not need to exert myself. I do not have any need to think; if I can pay, others will take over the tedious job for me. The guardians who have kindly undertaken the supervision will see to it that by far the largest part of mankind, including the entire "beautiful sex," should consider the step into maturity, not only as difficult but as very dangerous.(42)______ It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him. He has even become fond of it and for the time being is incapable of employing his own intelligence, because he has never been allowed to make the attempt. Statues and formulas, these mechanical tools of a serviceable use, or rather misuse, of his natural faculties, are the ankle-chains of a continuous immaturity. Whoever threw it off would make an uncertain jump over the smallest trench because he is not accustomed to such free movement. Therefore there are only a few who have pursued a firm path and have succeeded in escaping from immaturity by their own cultivation of the mind. But it is more nearly possible for a public to enlighten itself: this is even inescapable if only the public is given its freedom. For there will always be some people who think for themselves, even among, the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.(43)______. Through revolution, the abandonment of personal despotism may be engendered and the end of profit-seeking and domineering oppression may occur, but never a true reform of the state of mind. Instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones, will serve as the guiding reins of the great, unthinking mass. (44)______. But I hear people clamor on all sides: Don't argue ! The officer says: Don't argue, drill! The tax collector: Don't argue, pay! The pastor: Don't argue, believe!... Here we have restrictions on freedom everywhere. Which restriction is hampering enlightenment, and which does not, or even promotes it? I answer; The public use of a man's reason must be free at all times, and this alone can bring enlightenment among men. The question may now be put: Do we live at present in an enlightened age'?(45)______.[A] All that is required for this enlightenment is freedom; and particularly the least harmful of that may be called freedom, namely, the freedom for man to make public use of his reason in all matters.[B] Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. Such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. Have the courage to use your own intelligence! It is therefore the motto of the Enlightenment.[C] The answer is: No, but in an age of enlightenment. Much still prevents men from being placed in a position to use their own minds securely and well in matters of religion. But we do have very definite indications that this field of endeavor is being opened up for men to work freely and reduce gradually the hindrances preventing a general enlightenment and an escape from self-caused immaturity.[D] I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit "the American paradox." More than ever, we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low morale, secured rights and diminished civility. We excel at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate our prosperity but yearn for purpose. We celebrate our freedoms but long for connection. In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.[E] A public can only arrive at enlightenment slowly.[F] After having made their domestic animals dumb and having carefully prevented these quiet creatures from daring to take any step beyond the lead-strings to which they have fastened them, these guardians then show them the danger which threatens them, should they attempt to walk alone. Now this danger is not really so very great; for they would presumably learn to walk after some stumbling. However, an example of this kind intimidates and frightens people out of all further attempts.[G] Attitudes about divorce have dramatically changed. In the past, it was seen as the last resort of a woman who had been beaten up or cheated on. Women were victims. Today many women choose' to get divorced because they think they will have a better life as a SINDI than by staying in a stale marriage. In 74 percent of eases it is women who now instigate divorce proceedings.
