13、er day. I was 36 that my father was seriously ill. I had not seen my father since his divorce from my mom, and he had lived alone in a small trailer (拖車式活動房）in California, 500 miles away from me. The real 37 between us seemed much greater. I was in no hurry to change that, but 38 I prom

14、ised to be there the next day. The whole drive down, 39 flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine (海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊隊員）. He snatched off the Christmas tree all the decorations the rest of us had put up and rehung them so there was 40 the same spacing between them. But we needn’t

15、 41 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother. I remembered 42 to hear my father say just once, “I love you, Patty”, only to have him 43 at me, “You can’t do anything right!” Standing outside his trailer, I tried to 44 my courage to face him one

16、 more time. Slowly, I took a few steps inside, my hand and my whole body shaking, too 45 to believe my eyes. Sitting on the sofa, my father looked confused and frustrated. This wasn’t the angry and 46 man I had known growing up. This man was 47 and seemed broken. Part of me felt sorry fo

18、king after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicted feelings I’d been 52 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible pea

29、 had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C.W. Post record in Boston. Now she will run again, in the national Division II cross-country championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the ri

30、ght thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18. Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in th

31、e awful gaping time between her sister’s wake and her funeral. “I kind of got upset beforehand.” Williams admitted. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the better. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Tosc

32、ano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. “She said my sister would have wanted me to run.” Christine said. And that was enough to get her started. The accident happened just after midnight on Nov, 4. Four young women wer

33、e driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown and Kaci Moran were treated at a hospital and released. The crash made

34、the papers. April Brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license. The wake began on Nov. 6. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. Rich Degnan, the Post coach,"and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last fl

35、ight-to Boston for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her. Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Christine could not go. Several times during the race, Christine fe

36、lt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the Post record for the 6-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And

37、 although the Post team didn’t qualify for the nationals, Christine did. 59. The efforts Christine’s Post team made for her include the following EXCEPT ____________. A. offering car service and flight tickets to Boston B. arranging for a substitute for her beforehand C. taking care of her food

38、and uniforms D. cheering for her during the race 60. We can learn from the passage that ____________. A. Christine’s two sisters were killed in the accident B. Christine’s athletic performance stood out in the race C. Christine flew to Boston after her sister’s funeral D. Christine broke the P

40、only is it complex, but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of. To try to replicate (復制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride. But you have to start somewhere, and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique F

41、ederale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, propose to start by replicating “in silico”, one of the brain’s building blocks. In a partnership announced, the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模擬) of a structure known as a neo-cortical（新大腦皮質的）column on a typ

42、e of IBM supercomputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes. If that works, they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics（模仿) a brain. In a real brain, a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical（圓柱形的）element abo

43、ut a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long. It is these columns, arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb, which make up the famous “grey matter” that has become shorthand for human intelligence. The Blue Gene/L supercomputer that will be used for the simulation con

44、sists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column. The EPFL’s contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave. The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw materi

45、al for the simulation. Biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature. They will do so by assigning electrical properties（電能）to them, and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with

46、one another depending on their activity. That will be no mean feat. Even a single nerve cell is complicated, not least because each one has about 10,000 connections with others. And nerve cells come in great variety—relying, for example, on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across t

47、hose connections. Eventually, however, a digital representation of an entire column Should occur. Assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow Moore’s Law, the leader of IBM’s side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen y

48、ears. Such an artificial brain would, of course, be a powerful research tool. It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a “web lab” to be conducted in seconds. The researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurologica

49、l, disorders develop. But that is probably not the real reason for doing it. The most interesting question, surely, is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent, or conscious, or both. 62. In a real brain, a neo-cortical column ____________. A. looks like the cells of a honeycomb B. is

50、 a simulation of a structure C. is the famous “grey matter” D. contains a large number of nerve cells 63. What does the underlined sentence “That will be no mean feat” in Paragraph 5 indicate? A. It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up. B. The function of chemical transm

51、itters is hard to understand. C. A digital representation of an entire column is time-consuming. D. A single nerve cell is complicated to identify across connections. 64. The fundamental purpose of doing the research is probably ____________. 請預覽后下載！ A. to simulate an entire human brain in si

52、lico B. to tell us how some certain disorders emerge C. to discover how the artificial brain would work D. to examine whether Moore’s Law is still functioning 65. What type of writing is this passage? A. A science fiction B. A research report C. An official document D. A computer advertisement

53、 D In less than 60 years the people of my tribe have gone from being an independent nation, to cultural prisoners, to welfare recipients (享有者) . Is it any wonder that there are so many problems facing indigenous (土著的) Australians today? When I was growing up in Kowanyama there were 15 people in

54、 my class, I am the only one who has gone to university. I’m also the only girl in my class who did not have a child at 15. Of the boys in my class, seven have been incarcerated, two for murder, five for robbery and rape. Only three of us are not alcoholics. Four of my classmates have committed suic

55、ide. Life as a young aborigine is not easy, in any setting. The story of my fellow students is a lesson in the magnitude of the problems that young indigenous people in Cape York face. The two issues that are central to changing this story are education and health. There is a huge gap between what

56、 we get in communities and what other kids get in cities. One of the problems facing education in remote indigenous schools is that teachers tend to be just out of training and stay for only a year or two. Not one teacher stayed for the whole of my nine years at school—not even the principals. This

57、 seeming lack of commitment makes you feel they don’t care. We need to review the curriculum in these communities because it is pitched at a very low level. I have had to draw the conclusion that governments and educationalists see us as less than white people. Education should be uplifting, not s

58、erve to reinforce lack of self-esteem and the heart-wrenching low expectations that our race suffer from. We need a massive reassessment of,education policies and an equally massive investment in education. We have spent so long listening to some white fellows telling us we are stupid, lazy no-hope

59、rs that the majority of my people actually believe it. The relationship between poor education and poor health is clear. People whose self-esteem and pride have been destroyed by a substandard education system and a social system that creates an addiction to passive welfare have little reason to li

60、ve healthy lives. Our health is getting worse. The policies that determine the delivery of health services are deeply flawed by a bureaucracy (官僚作風) that does not want to hear our voices. Health services are often confined to the clinic. It is problems and challenges such as these that led me to s

61、tand in last October’s ATSIC election. ATSITC is more than the board of commissioners and the Canberra bureaucracy. ATSIC is also people who are from community and work hard for community. We recognize that governments cannot solve our problems for us. As young people we are trying to take responsi

62、bility for our future. I ask the Prime Minister, not that he fixes these problems for us but that he and his Government see us as equal partners in the huge task of rebuilding our families, communities and Cape York Peninsula. 請預覽后下載！ He demonstrated his commitment by engaging his Government at

63、the family and domestic violence summit. My view is that the level of domestic violence and child abuse sums up all that has been wrong with Aboriginal policy. .We need a new relationship to address this frightening reality in our lives. Aboriginal people are reluctant to admit that young girls and

64、 women are being raped by their own people because of the blanket of shame. * I am asking you to help lift that blanket. I stand here as a proud Aboriginal woman, a Kokoberra woman as well as a criminologist, and I thank you for your time and attention. Tania Major, 22, is an ATSIC regional counc

65、ilor and a trainee manager at her home community of Kowanyama on Cape York. This is an edited version of an address she is scheduled to give at a meeting between the Prime Minister and Cape York leaders (full text at smh. com. an). 66. Which of the following words can best describe Tania’s tone?

66、A. regretful B. depressed C. serious D. Humorous 67. The underlined word “incarcerated” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___. A. criticized B. killed C. dismissed D. imprisoned 68. We can infer from the passage that in Australia___. A. few teachers are willing to work in indigenous schools because they are poorly paid B. the curriculum in indigenous schools has to be easier otherwise the students will fail C. the undereducated aborigines are considered to be lazy an
