Beinao-1 uses a thin and soft electrode sheet. It can fit the brain comfortably. ____4____ it is put on the brain’s surface, it receives signals and sends them out. There’s also a small wireless device that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine. ____5____ this “translator”, the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain and act. For example, if a disabled person thinks “I want to drink water”, a robotic arm can ____6____ a cup, fill it with water, lift it carefully to the person’s mouth, and finally put it back. In this way, Beinao-1 helps disabled people ____7____ things by thoughts.
Beinao-1 is China’s completely self-developed technology. It has broken the world record in its field. It shows that China has become more ____8____ in high technology. We believe China will continue to lead the world in technology development.
1.1.
A ears
B legs
C hands
D
解析:选B。根据后文“he is able to take some small steps with others’ help”(在别人的帮助下他能够迈出一些小步),可知是给腿部发送小电信号,所以选B“legs”(腿)。A“ears”(耳朵)和C“hands”(手)与迈步无关。
2.2.
A can
B must
C should
D
解析:选A。前文提到一位女士说话有困难,现在借助设备能再次和家人“交谈”了,“can”表示“能够”,符合语境。B“must”(必须)和C“should”(应该)不符合文意。
3.3.
A secretly
B politely
C successfully
D
解析:选C。根据“giving them a new chance at life”(给了他们新的生活机会)可知,科学家们成功地帮助了几位残疾人重新开始活动和说话,“successfully”(成功地)符合语境。A“secretly”(秘密地)和B“politely”(礼貌地)与文意不符。
4.4.
A When
B Unless
C Although
D
解析:选A。“it is put on the brain’s surface”(它被放置在大脑表面)和“it receives signals and sends them out”(它接收信号并发送出去)之间是时间关系,“When”(当……时候)引导时间状语从句,符合语境。B“Unless”(除非)表示条件,C“Although”(虽然)表示让步,均不符合。
5.5.
A To
B With
C About
D
解析:选B。“With this ‘translator’”(有了这个“翻译器”),表示伴随,机器才能理解大脑中的想法并采取行动,“With”有“有,带着”的意思,符合语境。A“To”表示目的或方向等,C“About”表示关于,均不合适。
6.6.
A pick up
B take away
C give out
D
解析:选A。根据后文“fill it with water, lift it carefully to the person’s mouth”(把它装满水,小心地举到人的嘴边)可知,机械臂要先拿起杯子,“pick up”有“拿起,捡起”的意思,符合语境。B“take away”(拿走)和C“give out”(分发,发出)不符合文意。
7.7.
A believe
B control
C protect
D
解析:选B。根据前文描述,Beinao - 1能帮助残疾人通过思想让机械臂做一系列动作,也就是帮助残疾人通过思想“控制”事物,“control”(控制)符合语境。A“believe”(相信)和C“protect”(保护)不符合文意。
8.8.
A beautiful
B peaceful
C powerful
D
解析:选C。中国在该领域打破了世界纪录,说明中国在高科技方面变得更“强大”了,“powerful”(强大的)符合语境。A“beautiful”(美丽的)和B“peaceful”(和平的)与高科技无关。
