Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. “Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles. ” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outside world and also to control devices.” The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets(翻 译) the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.” He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time. 24. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine. C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind. 25. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5? A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair 26. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries C Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us.” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose. Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure（手册） describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “ I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire.” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”. Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish.” says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series. Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.” The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die.” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.” 27. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life? A. His health problem. B. His love for teaching. C. The influence of his wife. D. The news from the Web. 28. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library? A. Give out brochures. B. Do something similar. C. Write books for children. D. Retire from being a teacher. 29. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood? A. To avoid signing up online. B. To meet Dollywood board members. C. To make sure the books were the newest. D. To see if the books were of good quality. 30. What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph? A. He needs more money to help the children. B. He wonders why some people are so busy. C. He tries to save those waiting to die. D. He considers his efforts worthwhile. 第二节（共 5 个小题；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。 Four simple ways to stay positive (积极的) Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis. Don’t think a lot about negativity (消极). Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while. It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. 31 However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day. 32 What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. 33 Be kind to others. 34 Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious ( 传 染 的 ), and your positive attitude may spread among others. Take it one day at a time. Being positive isn’t an easy thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. 35 Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better. A. Eat healthy and stay fit. B. Take your lunch breaks outside. C. Don’t worry about what the future may bring. D. Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times. E. Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness. F. Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened. G. Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood(心情). 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节：完型填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答 题纸上将该项涂黑。 On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm.

With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match or the temperature of a certain day. Obviously, data can make our life easier and more comfortable. What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we don’t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data. On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren’t we a little too narrow(狭窄的)-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. But sometimes we may find that data aren’t everything. For example, how can you tell that somebody isn’t a good student just because he or she doesn’t get high marks in the final examination? There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data. For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data. There is no doubt that analyzing(分析) the exact data is important to assessment（评 价） of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us. We should try our best to be wise(明智的) thinkers. Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. Data are data after all. Life is much more colorful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we’ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ _______________杭西高 2019 年 12 月高二英语试卷 参考答案 听力：CCBAA BCBAB ACABB CBCAA 阅读 CDB DCC ABDD 完形填空 BACCD DBADD CABBD ACBAD FAGEC Dear Lucy, I’d like to invite you to join us for a visit to the nearby nursing home next Saturday for the Doubl e Ninth Festival.

If you are able to come with us, please let us know and we’ll wait for you at the gate at 9 in the morning. Looking forward to your reply. Yours Li Hua People believe data because it makes our life easier and comfortable and because data seems to be fair. However, it’s unwise to rely too much on data. Firstly, sometimes data only tells half the truth. Secondly, not everything can be valued by data. Lastly, wrong data may prevent us from making a good judgment. Data win people’s belief because of its truth and fairness(要点 1), though they don’t mean everything(要点 2). In our life, data cannot measure something like our happiness and love. (要点 3)Besides, as we may get wrong data, we should wisely treat data, which have no feeling. (要点 4) Anyway, only with our warm hearts can data make our life more wonderful. (要点 5 (60 words)
