24、signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential (潜能 ) of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games. Meta-computing may also be creating
25、intelligence as well as looking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts of the brain communicate with each other.

The agency urged people who work with lamps nearby to avoid spending m
31、ore than one hour within a foot of the eco-friendly bulbs. The warning was directed at those using desk lamps for long periods, such as jewellery makers, and others who might have lights close to their faces, such as car mechanics. John OHagan, a scientist at the HPAs centre for radiation, chemical
32、and environmental dangers, began tests on the ligthbulbs after patient groups raised concern about them. Among the groups were patients with a skin disease called lupus, which makes people highly sensitive to light. The tests measured UV light from the lamps and found the highest levels of UV radiat

The most immediate risk from the lightbulbs is a reddening of the skin similar to sunburn, but there is also a small increased risk of skin cancer associated with this, again similar to that of

At the movies, we know that if
39、 we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion（视觉影像） of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach
40、 out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24- week -old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the
41、illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-n
42、ever land Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the scr
43、een, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed
44、 that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week -old babies did not seem to notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seem
45、ed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 【小题 1】 The passage is mainly about _. A babies sense of sight B effects of experiments on babies C babies understanding of objects D different tests on babies f
46、eelings 【小题 2】 In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, an object _. A still exists B keeps its shape C still stays solid D is beyond reach 【小题 3】 What did Bower use in his experiments A A chair. B A screen. C A film. D A box. 【小题 4】 Which of the following statements is true
47、 A The babies didnt have a sense of direction. B The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C The younger babies liked looking for missing objects. D The babies couldnt tell a ball from its optical illusion. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D The college entrance exam is not only a big cha
