2、le into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact. 【F2】 But new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious power struggle being played out as you make your way up or down. A study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social hierarchy, established wit
3、hin seconds of entering the lift. Rebekah Rousi, a Ph.D. student in cognitive science, conducted an ethnographic study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide, Australia.【F3】 As part of her research, she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings, and discove
4、red there was an established order to where people tended stand. In a blog for Ethnography Matters, she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins. She said, “In front of them were younger men, and in front of them were women of all ages.“ She als
5、o noticed there was a difference in where people directed their gaze half way through the ride.【F4】 “Men watched the monitors, looked in the side mirrors(in one building)to see themselves, and in the door mirrors(of the other building)to also watch others. Women would watch the monitors and avoid ey
6、e contact with other users(unless in conversation)and the mirrors.“ She writes. 【F5】 The doctorate student concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front, where they can“t see other passengers, whereas bolder people stand in the back, where they have a view of everyone else.（

Hawking was diagnosed with the neurological disorder 50 years ago while a student at Cambridge University.【F3】 He recalled how he became depressed and initially didn“t see a point in finishing his doctorate. But he continued to delve into his st
10、udies. “If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,“ he said. Renowned for his work on black holes and the origins of the cosmos, Hawking is famous for bringing esoteric physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books, including “A Brief History of Time,“ whic
11、h sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. Hawking titled his hourlong lecture to Cedars-Sinai employees “A Brief History of Mine.“ Hawking has survived longer than most people with Lou Gehrig“s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal
12、cord that control the muscles.【F4】 People gradually have more and more trouble breathing and moving as muscles weaken and waste away. There“s no cure and no way to reverse the disease“s progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade. Hawking receives around-the-clock care, can only commu
13、nicate by twitching his cheek, and relies on a computer mounted to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a distinctive robotic monotone. Despite his diagnosis, Hawking has remained active. In 2007, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that creates weightlessness by making parabolic dives.【
14、F5】 Hawking rattled off nuggets of advice: Look up at the stars and not down at your feet, be curious. “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at,“ he said. Dr. Robert Baloh, director of Cedars-Sinai“s ALS program who invited Hawking, said he had no explana
15、tion for the physicist“s longevity. Baloh said he has treated patients who lived for 10 years or more. “But 50 years is unusual, to say the least,“ he said.（分数：10.00）(1).【F1】（分数：2.00）_(2).【F2】（分数：2.00）_(3).【F3】（分数：2.00）_(4).【F4】（分数：2.00）_(5).【F5】（分数：2.00）_Clenching your fist could be enough to help
16、you get a grip on your memory.【F1】 Research suggests that balling up the right hand and squeezing it tightly actually makes it easier to memorise lists. Later, when it is time to retrieve the information, it is the left hand that should be clenched. It is thought the movements activate brain regions
17、 key to the storing and recall of memories. 【F2】 The American researchers suggest those who are short of a pen and paper should try the trick when attempting to commit a shopping list or phone number to memory. In the study, volunteers were given a rubber ball and asked to squeeze it as hard as poss
18、ible before trying to memorise a list of 72 words.【F3】 They squeezed the ball again a couple of minutes later, ahead of recollecting as many of the words as possible. One group used their right hand on both occasions, another their left. A third group clenched their right fist ahead of memorising an
19、d their left ahead of recall and a fourth did the reverse. A fifth group held the ball but did not squeeze it. Those who squeezed with their right hand, followed by their left, remembered the most words.【F4】 The next best were the volunteers who made a fist with their right hand both times, while th
20、ose who didn“ t squeeze at all did better than those who led with their left. 【F5】 It is thought that the movement of clenching the right fist activates a brain region that is involved in storing memories, while squeezing the left hand triggers an area that is key to retrieving information. Lead res
21、earcher Dr Ruth Propper said, “The findings suggest that simple body movementsby temporarily changing the way the brain functionscan improve memory.“（分数：10.00）(1).【F1】（分数：2.00）_(2).【F2】（分数：2.00）_(3).【F3】（分数：2.00）_(4).【F4】（分数：2.00）_(5).【F5】（分数：2.00）_Billed as the Silicon Valley Robot Block Party and
22、held during National Robotics Week, the party yesterday was a celebration of human-robot interactions.【F1】 Developers, researchers, and makers shared tips and explored the very ideas of what a robot can be and do. The people I met here are interested in robots on many levels.【F2】 There were startups
23、 pitching their businesses, home-brew builders looking to have some fun, high-school kids building competition robots, and Ph.D. students just exploring. That high-fiving robot? It“s the creation of Willow Garage, a founding member of the Silicon Valley Robotics group that hosted the block party. In
24、 2010, Willow Garage announced it would be delivering 11 of its $400, 000 PR-2 robots free to research groups.【F3】 The program, however, which began as an opensource platform intended to encouraged roboticists to collaborate on creating a universal robot language, has quickly evolved. After just a f
25、ew years, following an announcement in February, Willow Garage says it is shifting toward becoming a profitable and self-sustaining company. What“s next in the lives of robots? That“s the question everyone here wants to answer. Even after the PR-2“s 2010 release, within a year the stereoscopic camer
26、as that provided the PR-2“s vision were replaced with commercially available hardwareMicrosoft“s Kinect, highlighting the rigorous pace of innovation.【F4】 The commercial, off-the-shelf technology available to each of us today, as NASA has discovered, is fast, smart, and constantly upgraded. And as t
27、he evolution of robotics quickens, maybe that“s what events like National Robotics Week and the Robot Block Party, are all about. There“s a sense that though robots are already a great part of our lives, we are still in the early stages of robotics innovation. Things are evolving quickly. For that r
28、eason, a marketplace of ideas such as this is incredibly important. People and ideas are being connected.【F5】 Across genres, robotics hobbyists are talking to startups, educators are talking with industry, and students are envisioning a future where automation is smarter, machines are more useful, a
29、nd everyone has the technical skills to live side by side with our robot friends.（分数：10.00）(1).【F1】（分数：2.00）_(2).【F2】（分数：2.00）_(3).【F3】（分数：2.00）_(4).【F4】（分数：2.00）_(5).【F5】（分数：2.00）_考研英语（翻译）-试卷 1答案解析(总分：60.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：6，分数：60.00)1.Section II Reading Comprehension（分数：10.00
