26、Neuro-technology has long been a favourite of science-fiction writers. In “Neuromancer”, a wildly inventive book by William Gibson written in 1984, people can use neural(神经的) implants to get into the sensory experiences of others. Iain M. Banks came up with the idea of a neural lace, a mesh (网格) that grows into the brain, in his “Culture” series of novels. “The Terminal Man” by Michael Crichton, published in 1972, imagines the effects of a brain implant on someone who is convinced that machines are taking over from humans.
Where the sci-fi led, philosophers are now starting to follow. In Howard Chizeck’s lab at the University of Washington, researchers are working on an implanted device to administer deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in order to treat a common movement disorder called essential tremor. Traditionally, DBS stimulation is always on, wasting energy and robbing the patient of a sense of control. The lab’s ethicist (伦理学家), Tim Brown, a doctoral student of philosophy, says that some DBS patients suffer a sense of isolation and complain of feeling like a robot.
To change that, the team at the University of Washington is using neuronal activity associated with intentional movements to turn the device on. But the researchers also want to enable patients to use a conscious thought process to override these settings. That is more useful than it might sound: stimulation currents for essential tremor can cause side-effects like distorted (失真的) speech, so someone about to give a presentation, say, might wish to shake rather than make his words unclear. Giving humans more options of this sort will be essential if some of the more advanced visions for brain-computer interfaces are to be realized. Hannah Maslen from the University of Oxford is another ethicist who works on a BCI project. One of her jobs is to think through the distinctions between inner speech and public speech: people need a dependable mechanism for separating what they want to say from what they think.
That is only one of many ethical questions that the sci-fi versions of brain-computer interfaces bring up. What protection will BCIs offer against neural hacking? Who owns neural data, including information that is gathered for research purposes now but may be understandable in detail at some point in the future? Where does accountability lie if a user does something wrong? And if brain implants are performed not for treatment but to improve people’s abilities, will that make the world an even more unequal place?
【1】What do the three books mentioned in paragraph 1 have in common?
A．They are all among what philosophers like best.
B．They all tell the stories well beyond imagination.
C．They are all works of the greatest sci-fi writers of the time.
D．They all deal with people’s losing control of their brains.
【2】The research of the team at the University of Washington is intended to _____.
A．improve the accuracy of DBS
B．let patients decide when to turn on DBS
C．get rid of the side effects of DBS currents
D．separate what we think from what we say
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Neuronal activity fails to work without intentional movements.
B．Brain-computer interfaces do more harm than good.
C．People suffering from essential tremor will shake.
D．DBS settings cannot be changed once fixed.
【4】What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A．How these questions will be handled.
B．Why these questions used to be ignored.
C．Which questions come from science fiction.
D．Who has first raised these questions.
27、 A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was filled with anger. “Do you know what you and I are?” she demanded. Before I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. Asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “Do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a mother.” “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman. “And what is your occupation?” she asked. What made me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused, her ball-point pen frozen in mid air, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your field?”
Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most jobs and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistants—ages 13, 7, and 3. And upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program. I felt successful!
Motherhood...what a glorious career, especially when there is a title on the door.
【1】The purpose of Emily’s story is to_______________.
A.prove that being a housewife is shameful
B.show how angry Emily was with the author
C.tell readers that Emily had no work in reality
D.introduce the topic of “motherhood” as a job
【2】On hearing the title of the author’s occupation, the clerk felt ______.
A.bored and disappointed B.surprised and curious
C.satisfied and respectful D.interested and thrilled
【3】What do you know about the author’s family?
A.Her daughters are all involved in a child-development program.
B.Her family is supported by her work as a Research Associate.
C.She has four daughters and the youngest is six months old.
D.There are at most five members in her family.
【4】The manner of speaking in which the author writes the text is ______.
A.indifferent B.cautious
C.objective D.humorous
28、I have never forgotten the firm belief I had in the arrival through the chimney (烟囱) of the little Santa Claus (圣诞老人), the kind, white-bearded old man who at midnight left in my tiny shoe a present I found the next morning.
Midnight! It’s the perfect hour children don’t know. What great efforts I made not to go to sleep before the little old man appeared!
I had both a great desire and great fear of seeing him, but could never stay awake until then, and the next day my first look was for my shoe. He never failed to carefully wrap (包装) every present for me. I would run barefoot to get my treasure. It never was a very expensive present, for we were not rich. It was a cookie, an orange, or very simply a fine red apple. But it felt so precious that I barely dared to eat it. What a great role imagination plays in a child’s life!
I do not at all agree with the idea that the lies about Santa Claus should be stopped. Doubts and truth come all too soon on their own. I very well remember the first year, when I was five or six, I doubted that it was not Santa Claus who put the cookie in my shoe. Since then, it has never tasted as good as the first few years of my life.
I noted that my son believed in him longer; boys are more naïve (天真的) than little girls. Like me, he made great efforts to stay awake until midnight. Like me, he loved the cookie baked in Heaven’s kitchens. And like me, the first year of his doubts was the last year of the visit of the good old man.

【3】By saying “Doubts and truth come all too soon on their own” in Paragraph 4, the author feels ________.
A. unsatisfied with being cheated
B. sorry for realizing that Santa Claus doesn’t exist
C. happy at finding out the facts of Santa Claus
D. angry about parents’ lying to children about Santa Claus
29、When I was 7 years old,I felt really happy for the first time in my life.I remember that my teacher allowed each student to play various educational games in tum on a computer designed for teaching.One day,I found the source code（编码）for one of these games.Without knowing or being taught any programming language,I was able to figure out some of the BASIG code.I just gave myself an interminate number of lives in the game,so I could continue playing it forever.This was also my first introduction to algebra（代数）,and I didn't even know it at the time.This was a decisive moment in my life.I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do.As a result,I was enthusiastic（充满热情的）for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers,and I was quite happy doing them too.
I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do.This enthusiasm, along with good health,is the key to being happy.It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too.It may also lead to success,wealth,and achievements.
Success,wealth,or achievements can also bring some people happiness,yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy.I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing.I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys,such as cars,computers,and televisions,yet never seem content for too long.Please remember,happiness is the journey of life,not the destination.
