Controlling Robots with the Mind
Belle,our tiny monkey,was seated in her special chair inside a chamber at our Duke
University lab. Her right hand grasped a joystick（操纵杆）as she watched a horizontal
series of lights on a display panel.She knew that if a light suddenly shone and she moved
the joystick left or right to correspond to its position,she would be sent a drop of fruit juice into her mouth.
Belle wore a cap glued to her head.Under it were four plastic connectors,which fed
arrays of microwires一each wire finer than the finest sewing thread一into different regions of
Belle's motor cortex（脑皮层）,the brain tissue that plans movements and sends
instructions. Each of the 100 microwires lay beside a single motor neuron（神经元）.When
a neuron produced an electrical discharge,the adjacent microwire would capture the current
and send it up through a small wiring bundle that ran from Belle's cap to a box of electronics
on a table next to the booth.The box,in turn,was linked to two computers,one next
door and the other half a country away.
After months of hard work,we were about to test the idea that we could reliably
translate the raw electrical activity in a living being's brain一Belle's mere thoughts一into
signals that could direct the actions of a robot.We had assembled a multijointed robot arm
in this room,away from Belle's view,which she would control for the first time.As soon as Belle's brain sensed a lit spot on the panel,electronics in the box running two real-time
mathematical models would rapidly analyze the tiny action potentials produced by her brain
cells.Our lab computer would convert the electrical patterns into instructions that would
direct the robot arm.Six hundred miles north,in Cambridge,Mass,a different computer
would produce the same actions in another robot arm built by Mandayam A. Srinivasan.If
we had done everything correctly,the two robot arms would behave as Belle's arm did,at
exactly the same time.
Finally the moment came.We randomly switched on lights in front of Belle,and she
immediately moved her joystick back and forth to correspond to them.Our robot arm moved
similarly to Belle's real arm.So did Srinivasan's.Belle and the robots moved in synchrony
（同步）,like dancers choreographed（设计舞蹈动作）by the electrical impulses sparking in
Belle's mind.
In the two years since that day,our labs and several others have advanced
neuroscience,computer science and microelectronics to create ways for rats,monkeys and
eventually humans to control mechanical and electronic machines purely by"thinking
through,"or imagining,the motions.Our immediate goal is to help a person who has been
unable to move by a neurological（神经的）disorder or spinal cord（脊髓）injury, but
whose motor cortex is spared,to operate a wheelchair or a robotic limb.

Karen Rusa was a 30-year-old woman and the mother of four children. For the past several months Karen had been experiencing repetitive thoughts that centered around her children's safety. She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accident had occurred;she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind.On one such occasion she imagined that her son,Alan,had broken his leg playing football at school. There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred,but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally called the school to see if Alan was all right. Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt,she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed.Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work that she performed throughout each day.Specific numbers come to have a special meaning to her;she found that her preoccupation with these numbers was interfering with her ability to perform everyday activities.One example was grocery shopping. Karen believed that if she selected the first item,some dreadful thing would happen to her first child, if she selected the second item,some unknown disaster wonld fall on her second child, and so on for the four children.Karen's preoccupation with numbers extended to other activities, most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarettes and drank coffee.If she had one cigarette, she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row or one of her children would be harmed in some way. If she drank one cup of coffee,she felt compelled to drink four. Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules,but,nevertheless,maintained that she felt more comfortable,when she observed them earnestly.When she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear. She described herself as tense,uneasy and unable to relax during these periods.The author used the example of the grocery shopping to______.
A:demonstrates her children's safety was closely related to the item she selected in the store
B:account for Karen's inability to perform everyday activities
C:show how specific numbers were related to the safety of her children
D:further explains that Karen was suffering from a psychological illness答案：D解析：本题是阅读综合理解能力考查题。题目是：以下哪项有可能治疗凯伦的疾病？选项A“她的孩子都完好”；选项B“她停止计数”；选项C“向精神分析学家求助”；选项 D“戒烟”。根据常识判断，我们可确定答案为C。

第3题：
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizaheth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in acdou. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she ebose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and l could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
The passage shows that _______A.mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B.mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C.mother cared much about her daughter in words
D.mother wrote to her daughter in careful words答案：A解析：由第二段最后一句“But she lived‘onthe surface”’和全文内容可知．作者的母亲表面上很冷漠，但心里充满了对作者的爱，正确答案是A。 -

Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
gave a billion dollars.
She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.When her generosity was made ________.
A:people donated billions
B:hundreds of students got scholarships
C:hundreds of people put money into the fund
D:she was sent to university答案：C解析：本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。
由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。

Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules,but,nevertheless,maintained that she felt more comfortable,when she observed them earnestly.When she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear. She described herself as tense,uneasy and unable to relax during these periods.Which of the following solutions could most probably cure Karen of the illness?
A:Her children were all right.
B:She stopped counting numbers.
C:She consulted a psychoanalyst.
D:She quit smoking.答案：C解析：本题是阅读综合理解能力考查题。题目是：以下哪项有可能治疗凯伦的疾病？选项A“她的孩子都完好”；选项B“她停止计数”；选项C“向精神分析学家求助”；选项 D“戒烟”。根据常识判断，我们可确定答案为C。

第14题：
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizaheth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in acdou. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she ebose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and l could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking forgiveness?A.She had never received the letter.
B.For years, she often talked about the letter.
C.She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D.She read the letter again and again till she died.答案：D解析：根据最后一段“…a photo of my father and a on．Page letter，foldedand refoldedmanytimes．”可知应选D。 -

Controlling Robots with the Mind
Belle,our tiny monkey,was seated in her special chair inside a chamber at our Duke
University lab. Her right hand grasped a joystick（操纵杆）as she watched a horizontal
series of lights on a display panel.She knew that if a light suddenly shone and she moved
the joystick left or right to correspond to its position,she would be sent a drop of fruit juice into her mouth.
Belle wore a cap glued to her head.Under it were four plastic connectors,which fed
arrays of microwires一each wire finer than the finest sewing thread一into different regions of
Belle's motor cortex（脑皮层）,the brain tissue that plans movements and sends
instructions. Each of the 100 microwires lay beside a single motor neuron（神经元）.When
a neuron produced an electrical discharge,the adjacent microwire would capture the current
and send it up through a small wiring bundle that ran from Belle's cap to a box of electronics
on a table next to the booth.The box,in turn,was linked to two computers,one next
door and the other half a country away.
After months of hard work,we were about to test the idea that we could reliably
translate the raw electrical activity in a living being's brain一Belle's mere thoughts一into
signals that could direct the actions of a robot.We had assembled a multijointed robot arm
in this room,away from Belle's view,which she would control for the first time.As soon as Belle's brain sensed a lit spot on the panel,electronics in the box running two real-time
mathematical models would rapidly analyze the tiny action potentials produced by her brain
cells.Our lab computer would convert the electrical patterns into instructions that would
direct the robot arm.Six hundred miles north,in Cambridge,Mass,a different computer
would produce the same actions in another robot arm built by Mandayam A. Srinivasan.If
we had done everything correctly,the two robot arms would behave as Belle's arm did,at
exactly the same time.
Finally the moment came.We randomly switched on lights in front of Belle,and she
immediately moved her joystick back and forth to correspond to them.Our robot arm moved
similarly to Belle's real arm.So did Srinivasan's.Belle and the robots moved in synchrony
（同步）,like dancers choreographed（设计舞蹈动作）by the electrical impulses sparking in
Belle's mind.
In the two years since that day,our labs and several others have advanced
neuroscience,computer science and microelectronics to create ways for rats,monkeys and
eventually humans to control mechanical and electronic machines purely by"thinking
through,"or imagining,the motions.Our immediate goal is to help a person who has been
unable to move by a neurological（神经的）disorder or spinal cord（脊髓）injury, but
whose motor cortex is spared,to operate a wheelchair or a robotic limb.Which of the following statements indicates the success of the experiment?
A:Belle responded to the robots successfully.
B:Belle and the robots danced beautifully.
C:Belle and the robots responded to the lights at the same time.
D:The two robots moved the joysticks successively.答案：C解析： -

Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
gave a billion dollars.
She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.She gave her money away because________.
A:she wanted to help the university
B:she wanted others to have the chance to become nurses
C:she wanted others to have the opportunity to escape a hard life
D:she wanted to he remembered after her death答案：C解析：本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。
由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。
