13、as like, This is the coolest thing Ive ever done,” Garrett added.Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaacs food allergies.

20、hnology to use in our JASON Project, a program thats designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the
21、 globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation (感受) of really being at the site with us.I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. In the next
22、 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟 ) other environment. I like to call this rooms “home domes” small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert or a forest. Hand in hand with
23、these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent (租) a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robots movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robots environment
24、and simulate them for you.Today, much of the worlds population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earths sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of
25、 the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You cant take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fosseys gorillas 3(大猩猩). But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.28. The main p
26、urpose of the JASON Project is to .A. design robots B. educate childrenC. explore the world D. improve technology29. Without going outside, people in “home domes” can .A. enjoy a guided trip B. get very close to natureC. develop and operate robots D. send images back to scientists30. Whats the autho
27、rs attitude towards the future of robot technology?A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied.31. According to the text, simulated travel .A. has been widely accepted B. costs lots of time and moneyC. is harmful to the environment D. is time and money-savingDThere is a popular saying in th
28、e English language: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, namecalling or even the socalled “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children s
29、howed that verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a c
30、ruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verb
31、al abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time w
32、hen these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher lev
33、els of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatrys website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.32. Why does the author use the po
34、pular saying at the beginning?A. To show the power of words.B. To introduce an opposite view.C. To prove the authors argument.D. To show ancient peoples wisdom.33. What did the subjects have in common?A. They were hurt by unkind words.B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.C. They had their brain
35、 slightly damaged.D. They experienced no physical abuse at home.34. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Comments on the findings.B. Approaches to further studies.C. Suggestions to parents.D. Different opinions on the matter.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The way we speak mat
36、ters.B. Verbal violence should be stopped.C. Unkind words hurt the brain.D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.第 二 节 （ 共 5 小 题 ， 每 小 题 2 分 ， 满 分 10 分 ）根 据 短 文 内 容 ， 从 短 文 后 的 选 项 中 选 出 能 填 入 空 白 处 的 最 佳 选 项 ， 选 项 中 有 两 项 为 多 余 选项 。 4Mike Cohn was a typically active 8-year-old running across a pa
