chips(芯片)directly into the brain to helppeople who have Parkinson's disease，but in what other ways might computer technology be able tohelp us?Ray Kurzweil is author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one ofthe world's best computer research scientistsHe is researching the possibilities2 Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voicesAn example of this is Ramona，the virtual(虚拟的)hostess of Kurzweil's homepage，who is programmed to understand what you sayVisitors tothe site can have their conversations with her，and Ramona also dances and sings3 Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilitiesOne of his ideas is a"seeing machine"This will be"like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visibleworld，"he explainsBlind people will use a visual sensor(探测器)which will probably be builtinto a pair of sunglassesThis sensor will describe to the person everything it sees4 Another idea，which is likely to help deaf people，is the"listening machine"This inven-tion will recognize millions of words and understand any speakerThe listening machine will also beable to translate into other languages，SO even people without hearing problems are likely to be inter-ested in using it 5 But it is not just about helping people with disabilitiesLooking further into the future，Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computerThis technology probably won't be ready for at least 50 years，but when it arrives，it means our mindwill be able to live forever23Paragraph 2_24Paragraph

loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boatWhen she was 18，she sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year"awardBut Ellen really became famous in 2001Aged only 24，she was one of only two women whoentered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race，which lasts 100 daysDespite many problems，she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when shereturned Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personalityWhen she was younger，she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship tocompete in a transatlantic raceThen she took a one-way ticked to France，bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht，slept under it while she was repairing it，and then she raced it 4，000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997，alone for 33 daysEllen has had to learn many things，because sailing single-handed means that she has to be herown captain，electrician，sail maker，engineer，doctor，journalist，cameraman and cookShe alsohas to be very fit，and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time when she's in themiddle of the oceanshe has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a timeAnd she needs courageOnce，in the middle of the ocean，she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to repair the sails-at four o'clock in the morningwith 100 kph winds blowing around herIt took her many hours to make the repairsEllen says，"I was exhausted when I came downIt'shard to describe how it feels to be up thereIt's like trying to hold onto a big pole，which for me isjust too big to get my arms around，with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shakeyou off"But in her diary，Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的)："Abeautiful sunrise started the day，with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sunI have a verystrong feeling of pleasure，being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live thisI just feellucky to be here"31In the Vendee Globe race，Ellen wonAa gold medalBthe"Best Woman Sailor"awardCthe"Young Sailor of the Year"awardDthe second place32Ellen lived in a kind of hut

surprisingBIt is relaxingCIt is enjoyableDIt is dangerous第2篇One-room SchoolsOne-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States，and the mention of them makespeople feel a vague long for the way things wereOne-room schools are an endangered species，howeverFor more than a hundred years，one-room schools have been systematically shut down andtheir students sent away to centralized schoolsAs recently as 1930 there were 149，000 one-roomschools in the United StatesBy 1970 there were 1，800Today，of nearly 800 remaining one-roomschoolsmore than 350 are in NebraskaThe rest are scattered through a few other states that haveon their road maps wide-open spaces between townsNow that there are hardly any left，educators are beginning to think that maybe there is some-thing yet to be learned from one-room schools，something that served the pioneers that might serve aswell todayProgressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like"peer-groupteaching"and"multi-age grouping"for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-roomschoolsIn a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of thetime teaching someone elseA fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-gradelevel in English without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressures of being skippedaheadA youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separatedfrom the other pupilsIn larger urban and suburban schools todaythis is called"mainstreaming"A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why SO many parentsfeel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one-roomschool36We learn from the first paragraph that one-room schoolsAare the best in NebraskaBare becoming more and more centralizedChave has a strong influence on American peopleDneed to be shut down37One-room schools are in danger of disappearing becauseAthere has been a trend towards centralizationBthey cannot get top studentsCthey exist only in one stateDchildren have to teach themselves38A major characteristic of the one-room school system is thatAlearning is not limited to one grade levelBpupils mostly study math and EnglishCsome children have to be left backDteachers are always busy39It can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents in NebraskaAdon't like centralized schoolsBcome from other statesCreceived education in one-room schoolsDprefer rural life40What is the author's attitude towards oneroom schools?ACritical BHumorousCAngryDPraising第3篇Citizen ScientistsUnderstanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycleevent-flowering，the appearance of leaves，the first frog calls of the spring-all around the worldBut ecologists can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists，sometimes called citizen sci-entists，for helpClimate scientists are not present everywhereBecause there are so many places in the worldand not enough scientists to observe all of them，they're asking for your help in observing signs ofclimate change across the worldThe citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific research interest-birds，trees，flowers budding，etc一and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientistsThis helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their ownMuch likecitizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat，citizen scientists are ready forthe conditions where they liveAll that's needed to become one is a few minutes each day or eachweek to gather data and send it inA group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology Network"Phenology"is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in natureOne of the group's first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data aboutplant flowering and leafing every yearThe program，called Project BudBurst，collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United StatesPeople participating in the projectwhich is open to everyone-record their observations on the Project BudBurst website"People don't have to be plant experts-they just have to look around and see what's in theirneighborhood，"says Jennifer Schwartz，an education consultant with the project"As we collectthis data，we'll be able to make an estimate of how plants and communities of plants and ani
