22、Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (界面) (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 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.
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】 BCI is a technology that can _________________.
A. help to update computer systems
B. link the human brain with computers
C. help the disabled to recover
D. control a person's thoughts
【2】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→computer→cap→wheelchair
B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
【4】 Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
B. New Findings about How the Human Brain Works
C. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
23、 September is an exciting month in every college freshman’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.
Homesickness manifests itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.
But remember, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.
Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, “nostos” from Greek, and the accompanying pain, “algos”.
Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it’s necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.
【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.
A.homesickness means a fond memory of the past
B.only a few students will experience homesickness
C.homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmen
D.college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks
【2】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A.Some benefits about homesickness.
B.Other problems in college freshmen’s life.
C.How to make campus life more meaningful.
D.Some tips on how to cope with homesickness.
【3】In the author’s eyes, homesickness is ________.
A.common but solvable
B.unexpected and cheerful
C.temporary but discouraging
D.inevitable and disgusting
24、Daily News—Cecilia Chiang, who first changed the stereotypes (刻板印象) about Chinese cuisine (饭菜) in the United States, died Wednesday. She was 100.
Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity(名人) chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.
Chiang, who was born in Wuxi, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although she wasn’t shy about admitting her good fortune, she faced other obstacles (障碍). To convince the dining public that Chinese food didn’t have to be the Thursday’s cheap takeout option, Chiang had her work cut out for her, when she moved to the Bay Area in 1959. She insisted on showing diners the refined side of Chinese food and wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be aware of aesthetics (美学).
The Mandarin did not serve fried rice (炒饭) or chow mien (炒面), two standard dishes in every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time. But this was exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early encounter (邂逅) with Chinese food in America had left her determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.
Her granddaughter, Siena Chiang said, “I hope she is a signal and an inspiration to people with marginalized (边缘化的) identities to always believe in your own worth and knowledge, and not to give in to other cultures.”
【1】Where does the passage probably come from?
A.An autobiography.
B.A travel book.
C.An essay collection.
D.News coverage.
【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “had her work cut out”?

【3】What did Cecilia Chiang do to change Americans’ impression of Chinese cuisine?
A.To be an aesthetician.
B.To stop offering takeout food on Thursday.
C.To serve fried rice or chow mien.
D.To improve the Chinese dining experience.
