17、even Spielberg's 2002 science-fiction thriller Minority Report produced a world where computers could read minds and predict the future.It seemed fanciful at the time，but fantasy is edging closer to fact. On Jan. 31，a team of scientists at the UC Berkeley，led by Robert Knight programmed computers

18、to decode(解碼) brain waves and replay them as words.Five months earlier，another group of Berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw. These experiments are a big advance from 2006，when a French scientist first replayed images fro

19、m a human mind，a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The possibilities are great：a disabled person could “speak”；doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted；you could re-watch your dreams on an iPad.There are，of course，equally dark side，such as the involuntary take out of information fr

20、om the brain. In spite of these breakthroughs，Jack Gallant，the neuroscientist who led the first Berkeley team，says current technology for decoding brain activity is still “relatively primitive”．The field is held back by its poor machinery，in particular the fMRI. “Eventually，says Gallant，someone w

21、ill invent a decoding machine you can wear as a hat.”Such an advance into the human mind, he says，might take 30 years. Still，the recent advances at Berkeley offer small answers，which scientists can use to begin unlocking the secrets of memory and consciousness. 36. What is the BEST title for th

B The science of physics today is as current as the morning newspaper.Indeed，as a result of new advances in physics and their rapid application to inventions designed to satisfy man's wants，the world itself has been changing rapid

25、ly.Space technology，industrial technology，and the technology of the home，the farm，the office，the bank，and the department store have all been revolutionized. Clearly，every grownup today would understand the world he lives in much better if he knew something about physics.Whether it is Congress voti

26、ng huge sums of money for new warships，space exploration，or atomic energy；the office staff learning to use a new computer；Son Bobby wanting to know about going to the moon；or the housewife learning to operate a new electric stove，physics seems to be everywhere. Teachers in thousands of schoolrooms

27、in America are trying to communicate some of the excitement and importance of these new developments to their eager students.They know that some of their eager students will someday be scientists and will then contribute themselves to the development of new knowledge or its application to new things

29、ended to meet people's needs B．may solve all the problems in teaching C．makes people understand the voting rules of the Congress D．can help people understand the meaning of life 40．The underlined word “themselves” in Paragraph 3 refers to________. A．some of the eager students B．the students in

31、 can be the BEST title of this passage? A．Physics and Teaching B．Physics and Inventions C．Physics and Life D．Physics and Newspapers C It is a sad fact of life that only one or two percent of invented items make money for their inventors.The author of this book believes this could be increased

32、to ten percent if inventors were provided with and used the information available now. Most inventors do not have the qualities needed for creating successful businesses.Thomas Edison is a classic example.Though a brilliant inventor，he often failed when he tried to commercialize(利用……牟利)his inventio

33、ns. A frequent mistake is that they didn't do basic market research at an early stage.They have spent much money on patenting and tooling，only to learn that the idea has already been patented！Without giving away details of his invention，an inventor can make a simple check using local library direct

34、ories. A simple computer check may show incredible sources of information related to his item. As children we were told that Emerson had said，“If you build a better mousetrap，the world will beat a path to your door.”So many inventors think that they can sit back and wait for customers to arrive.He

35、who thinks，in this day and age，that a product will sell itself is out of touch with the real world. Inventors often fail to realize that manufacturing costs are often only a small percent of the retail price(零售價)． The author also devotes an entire chapter to “Ten Ways to Invention Suicide”．This ch

36、apter analyzes ten common ways in which inventors end their inventions' future.He talks about the “paranoid inventor” who cannot bring himself to trust anyone，“the omnipotent inventor” who thinks that without any resources he can take on an entire industry，and the “greedy inventor” who wants it all

37、for himself. The book concludes that if the inventor thinks that there is some magic formula for the commercialization of his invention，his invention will probably end up among the 98 percent that fail.However，if the inventor makes an honest effort to understand the process of new product developme

38、nt，he can succeed. 43．What are Paragraphs 2－5 mainly about? A．Tips on how to become an inventor. B．The qualities of a good inventor. C．The similarities between inventors all around the world. D．Reasons why inventors fail to make money from their inventions. 44．What mistakes do inventors often

41、ict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.That's why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with

42、the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘篷) built into a street lamp，” he said. The Lampbrella is

43、a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors (傳感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor，there's also a 360° motion

44、sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer，the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed，so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides，it would be grounded

45、 to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed (安裝) at 2 metres off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production，Belyaev says he recently

46、 introduced his creation to one Moscow Department，and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 47．For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella? A．To predict a heavy rain. B．To check the weather forecast.

47、C．To protect people from the rain. D．To remind people to take an umbrella. 48．Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works? A．motor→canopy→sensors B．sensors→motor→canopy C．motor→sensors→canopy D．canopy→motor→sensors 49．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella? A．Its

48、 moving speed. B．Its appearance. C．Its installation. D．Its safety. 50．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The designer will open a company to promote his product. B．The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production. C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

49、D．The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
