【題目】 It is reported that Stephen Hawking, the most famous physicist of his time, has died at the age of 76. A family member said Hawking, who was British, died peacefully on early Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at his home in Cambridge, England. Hawking was known worldwide for working to explain something about the universe and black holes.

Hawking suffered from a disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS（肌肉萎縮性側(cè)面硬化�。� in 1963. At the time, doctors thought he would only live about two years. But he lived more than 50 years and continued his scientific work. Because of it, Hawking had to stay in a wheelchair and lost his ability to speak. Hawking had to communicate with others by using a voice synthesizer（合成器）.

In his 2013 book My Brief History, Hawking told his readers about his illness. “I felt it was very unfair—why should this happen to me?” He added, “At the time, I thought my life was over.” “But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life,” he wrote. His goal was that he could understand the universe completely. He was also a big supporter of human space travel to the Moon and Mars. “We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems（太陽(yáng)系）,” he said last year.

Hawking was an outstanding scientist and a fighter who struggled against the disease and contributed greatly to mankind’s understanding of science. He and his contribution will be remembered forever.

【題目】 Thanks to new technologies, it’s easier than ever to do something on our phone or computer. All we have to do is talk, and our favorite song starts playing a few seconds later. But in the near future, asking our phone to play a song by using our voice will seem as old-fashioned as using CDs. That’s because US tech company Microsoft recently had a paten（專利）for a “ brain control interface”（BCI）, meaning that soon, we may be able to control our phone and computer with our thoughts.

BCI technology works by turning brain signals（信號(hào)）into computer orders. This technology isn’t completely new, however. Last year, for example, it was reported that scientist were able to help a disabled man from the US, 53-year-old Bill Kochevar, to move his body again. With the help of BCI technology, as well as equipment to make his body move, Kochevar was able to use his thoughts to “ tell ” the BCI to move his body, meaning he was able to feed himself for the first time in years.

Aside from helping disabled people, it’s hoped that BCI technology will improve the daily lives of other people too. US social media Facebook announced last year that it was working on BCI technology to help people type by using their brain. By 2019,the company hopes to have created a system that will allow people to type up to 100 words per minute just by thinking about them. In turn, this could be used to offer live translation, from English to Chinese, for example.

However, many people are worried that technology that can know about our thoughts may bring risks to people’s private life, especially if social media companies use it.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

【1】How does BCI technology work?

A.It turns our voice into computer orders.

B.It offers a live translation service for people.

C.It allows our thoughts to control certain equipment.

D.It controls our brain signals with a computer.

【2】How may Kochevar feel about BCI technology?

A.Disappointed.B.Thankful.C.Embarrassed.D.Proud.

【3】Who else may benefit from BCI technology according to the article?

A.Bus drivers.B.Medical workers.C.Social media users.D.Shop assistants.

【4】Why are some people worried about BCI technology?

A.It might do harm to their health.B.Their private life might not be respected.

C.It might take away too many job chances.D.The equipment may be too expensive.

【5】What does the text mainly tell us?

A.Voice can be used on our phone or computer.

B.How BCI technology helps disabled people.

C.How BCI technology may influence the world.

D.Thought power can be used to improve people’s lives.
