8、ng fruits, vegetables, pork and chicken to kill insects and bacteria has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration over the past decade or so. Irradiation of other meats, such as beef and lamb, is being reviewed. Federal approval does not require that industry adopt the process, and few food
9、 processors presently offer irradiated products.Market studies have shown that many consumers are afraid that eating irradiated foods may cause cancer, despite scientific studies that prove the safety of treated foods. Some people argue that more severe government inspection, higher food-safety stan
10、dards, and more careful-preparation practices by consumers are all that is needed to ensure that food is safe. Consequently, companies currently see no need to spend millions of dollars outfitting processing plants with the equipment necessary for a process that very few shoppers are in favor of.All
11、 supermarkets that sell irradiated food must label the food either directly on the packaging, or, in the case of bulk items like fruits and vegetables, by placing a sign nearby. There is no requirement for the labeling of irradiated food served by chain restaurants or hospitals that buy directly fro
12、m distributors, nor any regulations for products that contain irradiated ingredients.Presently, the FDA allows food to be treated with three types of radiationgamma rays, high-energy electrons, and X raysand sets limits on doses, depending on the type of food. The principle is that the dose to be us
13、ed for a certain type of food should not exceed the amount that is sufficient to kill most harmful insects and bacteria present in it. Different types of food, because of their molecular compositions, may require different doses of radiation.（分数：7.00）(1).According to the passage, killing insects and

18、gital PenCheck out the io Personal Digital Pen launched by Logitech: Its a magic pen that can store everything you write and transfer it to your computer. And you dont have to lug a hand held device along with you for it to work.Logitechs technology works like this: The pen writes normally, using no
19、rmal ballpoint pen ink. But while you are writing, a tiny camera inside the pen is also taking 100 snapshots per second of what you are doing, mapping your writing via a patchwork of minute dots printed on the paper. All this information-the movement of your pen on the paper, basicallyis then stored
20、 digitally inside the pen, whether you are writing notes or drawing complex diagrams. You can store up to 40 pages worth of doodles in the pens memory. As far as you are concerned, you are just using a normal pen.It is only when you drop the pen into its PC-connected cradle that the fun begins. Spec
21、ial software on your PC will figure out what you have done, and begin to download any documents you have written since the last time it was there. Depending on whether you have ticked certain boxes on the special notepad, it can also tell whether the document is destined to be an e-mail, a “to do“ t
22、ask, or a diagram to be inserted into a word-processing document. Once the documents are downloaded you can view them, print them out or convert them to other formats.The io Personal Digital Pen is a neat and simple solution to the problem of storing, sharing and retrieving handwritten notes, as wel
23、l as for handling diagrams, pictures and other non-text doodling. You dont have to carry a laptop along with you. All you have to do is just whip out the pen and the special paper and you are off.It is a great product because it does not force you to work differentlywalking around with a screen stra
24、pped to your arm, or carrying with you extra bits and pieces. The pen is light and works like a normal pen if you need it to, while the special notepads look and feel like notepads. The only strange looks will be from people who are curious why you are writing with a cigar.The io Personal Digital Pe
25、n also has potential elsewhere. FedEx, for example, is introducing a version of the pen so that customers can fill out forms by handinstead of punching letters into cumbersome devices. Once that data is digital more or less anything can be done with ittransferring it wirelessly to a central computer
26、, for example, or via a hand-phone. Doctors could transmit their prescriptions directly to pharmacies, reducing fraud; policemen could send their reports back to the station, reducing paperwork.AA Friendly and Convenient DeviceBWays to Download the Stored InformationCExamples of Other Potential Appl

31、d a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons are responsible for this processing.The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brai
32、n to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, an
33、d in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientists can visualize which parts of the brain receive more oxygen rich blood and therefore, which parts are working to process information.An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow
34、to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks, looks at something, or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images, fMRI may help scientists determine specific
35、 patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects, like people, animals, and fruits. The scientists used an fMRI machine to record the volunteers brain activity
36、 with each photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers brains to light up on the scan, indicating activity. The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see.In a second test, the scienti
37、sts asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before, their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time, the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example, if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity tha
38、t was strongly, related to pictures of apples in the first test, their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples.（分数：15.00）(1).What is responsible for processing the information sent by your eyes? A.A small region of the brain. B.The central part of the brain. C.Neurons in the

A.“marking the parts of the brain that are processing information“ B.“giving light to the parts of the brain that are processing information“ C.“putting t

43、few years older than Edwards son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but de Bono name was so famous, Caspers parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, “Where do you get that idea from?“We had to be careful and
44、not overdo it,“ Edward admits. Now Casper is at Oxfordwhich once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵读困难). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. “So then we did several thinking sessions,“ his father says, “using my technique
45、s and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well.“ Soon after, Edward de Bono decided to write his latest book, “Teach Your Children How to Think“, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brainstorming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to shar
46、e.Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children arent very logical. So isnt it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? “You know,“ Edward de Bono says, “if you examine peoples thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of
47、 logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.“Teach Your Child How to Think“ offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.（分数：15.00）(1).What is TRUE about Casper? A.He is Edwards son. B.He is an adventurous thinker. C.He first described lateral thinking. D.He is often scolded by his teacher.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Casper succeeded in applying to Oxford because _. A.he was careful and often overworked. B.all of his school teachers though
