As Dr. Smith walked along the campus
9、 places and impediments (障碍物) in his path seemed to call out their names to him - “library here, library here“, “bench here, bench here“.Dr. Smith was testing a prototype (样机) navigation system for the blind that anounced the surrounding objects through stereo headphones that were mounted to a comp
10、uter in his back-pack, creating a virtual reality landscape(仿真影像). The information came not from some miniature radar but from the signals broadcast by the militarys network of gloal positioning satellites(全球定位卫星). One day, its developers hope, miniaturized(小型化的) versions of this navigation devices,
11、 which now weighs twenty-eight pounds, will help the blind navigate unfamiliar neighborhoods.“With this system you do not need to know a thing in advance about where you are going“, said Dr. Roberta Klatzky, a psychologist at Carnegie-Mellon University who is working with Dr. Smith to develop the na
12、vigating device. Dr. Michael Oberdor of the National Eye Institute said, “A blind person could walk clown the street and know not just he was at 80th and Broadway, but what stores are around, and that Zabars delicatessen(熟食店) was up ahead. This navigation system tells you not just where there are ob
13、stacles, but your overall location geographically. “ It lets blind users construct a mental map of new surroundings and learn their way around.The navigation system uses signals from a computerized map to create a “virtual acoustic display(仿真声音显示). This is a talking map in which large objects seem t
14、o announce themselves in the headphones with the precise timing and loudness that would be the case if the objects were actually making a sound. This allows the blind person to sense immediately his or her distance or direction, and use that information for guidance. While no one knows whether it is
15、 because blind people tend to develop a sharper sense of hearing, those who have tried the system say that they quickly adapt to locating an object through the sounds. “One of the crucial features of this system is that it takes advantage of sensory paychophysics (感官心理物理学) - how the brain interprets
16、 signals from outside to make a map of your surroundings so you can navigate, “ Dr. Oberdor said.（分数：7.00）(1).Thanks to the help of this sonic device, blind people can hear obstacles in the way speaking out their names.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned（分数：1.00）A.B.C.(2).Dr. Smith hopes to make this
17、 device smaller so as to help the blind navigate unfamiliar places.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned（分数：1.00）A.B.C.(3).Although this device will be useful, most of the blind may not afford it.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned（分数：1.00）A.B.C.(4).According to Dr. Oberdor, this device can lead the bli

The most sophisticated (先进的)Japanese robots, which have vision systems and work at very high speeds, are still based
20、 on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe.2. Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more ski
21、lled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting and assembling components.3. In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more ex
22、perience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively.4. It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job.5. It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an eno
23、rmous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan.6. The reliability of robots is measured in their M.T.B.F. or mean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18
24、 hours a day for two years.) One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small sample.7. The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quali

29、act that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey“ spoken instructions s
30、ome time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development fr
31、om the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these ca
32、nnot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire (能发出的全部声音). This self-imita
33、tion leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.（分数：15.00）(1).By “. challenges explanation“ (Line 2, Para. 1)the author means that _. A.
34、 no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenonB. no explanation has been made up to nowC. its no easy job to provide an adequate explanationD. its high time that an explanation was provided（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The third paragraph is mainly about _.A. the development of babies early form
35、s of languageB. the difficulties of babies in learning to speakC. babies strong desire to communicateD. babies intention to communicate（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The authors purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children_.A. usually obey without asking questionsB. are passive in the proc

A Huge Task for ChildrenD. Noise Making and Language Learning（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Lateral Thin
38、kingLateral thinking (迂回思维), first described by Edward de Bono in 1967, is just a few years older than Edwards son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but de Bono name was so famous, Caspers parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, hi
39、s teachers might snap, “Where do you get that idea from?”“We had to be careful and not overdo it,” Edward admits. Now Casper is at Oxford which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (通读困难). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chan
40、ce. “So then we did several thinking sessions,” his father says, “using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well.” Soon after, Edward de Bono decided to write his latest book, “Teach Your Children How to Think”, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed fo
41、r brain-storming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children arent very logical. So isnt it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? “You know,” Edward
42、de Bono says, “if you examine peoples thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.”“Teach Your Child How to Think” offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implica

Eruptions at glaciated volcanoes typically destroy ice fields, as they did in 1980 when 70 percent of Mount Saint Helens ice cover was de molished.

Only rarely do these competing forces of heat and cold operate in perfect balance to create phenomenon such as the steam caves at Mount Rainier Park.Located inside Rainiers two ice-filled summit craters, these caves form a labyrinth of tunnels and vaulted chambe
