27、It’s a small step for Steve, but could this be a great progress in paralysis(瘫痪)？

Steve’s arms and legs were paralyzed after a fall four years ago. But when he’s wearing this robotic suit, he can use his thoughts to move again.

Learning to walk came quite quickly, but using the exoskeleton(外骨骼) to correctly bend and stretch his arms or turn his wrists took much longer.

So how does the exoskeleton work? Well, first Steve has electric device on the surface of his brain. They are reading his thoughts, his brain activity, his brainwaves, and they are being sent to a computer. Now, the computer has to receive that information at once and change that brain activity into orders, which are sent to the exoskeleton. From thought to movement, it takes less than a third of a second.

Steve first used this electric device in his brain to control a computer game before trying the exoskeleton. Now the French researchers plan to test the technology on three more patients.

This experimental exoskeleton is not going to become widely used soon. If you look, Steve’s body is connected to the ceiling of the room to stop him falling over. It means the exoskeleton can’t be used outside the lab. And it is also too expensive for most of the world to benefit. But this is still a breakthrough and shows the potential of technology to change lives.

【1】What’s the usage of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ?

A．To question the usefulness of the exoskeleton.

B．To lead in the topic and make readers interested.

C．To compare with the former part of this paragraph.

D．To offer the result of the experiment in advance.

【2】According to the text, how does the exoskeleton work?

A．Brain→Computer→Orders→Exoskeleton

B．Exoskeleton→Orders→Computer→Brain

C．Orders→Computer→Exoskeleton→Brain

D．Computer→Orders→Brain→Exoskeleton

【3】What do we know about the experimental exoskeleton?

A．It’s readily available.

B．It can be used everywhere.

C．It’s very steady to walk in it.

D．It’s far from perfect

【4】What’s the best title of the text?

A．Steve walks a small step after paralysis.

B．Mind-reading machine helps man walk again.

C．Paralysis recovered with the help of a robotic suit.

D．An experiment testing a machine.

28、If you are dreaming of visiting one of those picture­perfect European towns filled with old­world attractiveness and scenic beauty, here is a look at the most beautiful small towns in Europe.

Manarola

Manarola, Italy, is filled with rainbow-colored homes along the Mediterranean coast. This attractive fishing town is famous for its unbelievable wine, and the paintings. There are no cars here, no traffic lights, or traffic noise. You can drive to Manarola, but you will have to park just outside the town and then take a shuttle bus or walk in on foot.

Garmisch­-Partenkirchen

Garmischh-Partenkirchen, Germany, is an attractive mountain town, once two separate towns, one Roman and the other Teutonic. The 1936 Winter Olympics forced them to become one, though the two sides still have different characters. The town dates back to the 15th century AD, filled with narrow streets lined with historic three or four­story buildings painted with religious scenes.

Marsaxlokk

The energetic trading port of Marsaxlokk, Malta, was built in 900 BC. Today, this picture­like town is the main supplier of fish to the island nation that sits in the Mediterranean Sea. It has no modern buildings to ruin its attractiveness. With such quiet surroundings, including the traditional fishing boats, it is a particularly charming place to visit.

Portmagee

In a country filled with beautiful towns, Portmagee, is a standout, sitting on the southwest coast of Ireland. This seaside fishing town has a row of brightly colored buildings along with a rich and colorful history. At The Bridge Bar, you will find live music many nights of the week along with nice food and a fine glass of beer.

29、On the outside, 12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid. It’s not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.

Born with a heart defect (缺陷) called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to go for her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.

“This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I’d never thought I’d be able to design,” Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoes to launch the Shoes with Soul Movement.

“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that’s being done at BCH,” says Chris, Saucony’s vice president. “Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world.”

Luna’s design is fashion. “On the tongue, they digitalized one of my drawings, and then on bottom it’s a really bright pink color, and on the inside, the sole (鞋底) of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset,” she said. “Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoes is amazing. It blows my mind.”

The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children’s Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possible” through personalized exercise programs designed for each individual patient’s heart condition.

“It feels really good to help people and it’s really something I can relate to,” says Luna. “The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never to give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you’re not alone.”

【1】Which of the following words can best describe Luna?

A．Passive and horrible.

B．Gifted and determined.

C．Creative and serious.

D．Independent and sensitive.

【2】Why was the Shoes with Soul Movement launched?

A．To seek a fortune.

B．To support the disabled in need.

C．To emphasize the significance of creating impressive original works.

D．To make the world know BCH’s excellent work and BCH kids’ abilities.

【3】What does Luna mean by “It blows my mind” in Paragraph 5?

A．I feel like I’m going crazy.

B．I feel a sense of relief.

C．I am surprised and overjoyed.

D．I feel as if my brain couldn’t function effectively as usual.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the Shoes with Soul Movement?

A．Positive.

B．Doubtful.

C．Indifferent.

D．Objective.

32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

A Welcome Gift

Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them set side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room, making them feel very happy.

The next morning, however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. Complaining about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building manager if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested writing a letter to apologize.

“Maybe we could visit everyone in person.” his mother said．

“What if we invited them to come here for a party instead? Dario asked．

They both loved the idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers (彩带) and party lights.

Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. One woman, Mrs. Gilbert, presented Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.

“I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I worried that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”

Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we owe you an apology.” she said.“I didn’t realize how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.

“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not so loud.”

“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be happy to play them in the evening.” “And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to practising the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were home at last.
