11、er, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪审团), and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincolns stories were irrelevant and distracting (转移、分心) to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincolns jokes more than anyo

12、ne else in the court room.As a politician, Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His 3long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “Nothing else not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel tha

13、t I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincolns saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln

14、 used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him.

18、he new technology called BrainGate can do with the help of a robotic arm,anyway.4BrainGate is the idea of Professor John Donoghue and his team of researchers at the Brown Institute for Brain Science,USA. BrainGate is attached directly to the brain. First of all,gold wires are put into the part of th

19、e brain that controls movement. These are then connected to a small computer chip(芯片) . When the person thinks about different movements,this creates electrical signals,which are picked up by the chip. After this,the signals that are created by the brain are sent back to a computer,which changes the

20、 signals into movements. Finally,the computer uses the robotic arm to carry out these movements. BrainGate can already be used to write an e-mail or play computer games,just by brain power.The technology has already cost millions of dollars to develop and when it is available for use,it will probabl

21、y cost thousands of dollars per person. There are still many challenges ahead for Donoghue and his team. They are currently planning a mini wireless version,which will allow people to be connected to the computer at all times. Donoghue also dreams of using this technology to help disabled people who

22、 cant move their arms or legs. He plans to connect BrainGate directly to their own paralysed limbs(瘫痪的胳膊或腿) .This will mean that the person can control their own body again,without relying on a robotic arm.This research is attracting the militarys (军方的) attention as well. However,it is easy to under

23、stand why scientists might be concerned about how thought-controlled machines could be used by the military.28. What does the underlined word “These” refer to?A. Movements. B. Thoughts. C. Brains D. Wires.29. What is one of BrainGates disadvantages?A. It needs improvement. B. It produces few movemen

24、ts.C. It is too expensive. D. It is difficult to control.30. How will Donoghue help disabled people?A. By developing a wireless version. B. By replacing their limbs with robotic ones.5C. By making BrainGate smaller. D. By attaching BrainGate to their bad limbs.31. What does the military think of tho

25、ught-controlled machines?A. They could lead to disasters. B. They would face fierce competition.C. They could be useful. D. They would be in mass production.DA new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers fr

26、om their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globeand Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display a

27、n amazing property unforeseen even two years agosuperconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could

28、 free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannotthey do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy st

29、orage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first

30、 observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269 with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243. Their r

31、eport went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in 6Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.32. As is indicated in

32、 the passage, the technology of superconductivity _.A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years33. The new technology differs from the others in that _.A. it began in the East and spread later t

33、o the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich34. From the passage, we may conclude that _.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growt

34、h of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passag
