Ⅵ.任务型读写
From the beginning of human history,people have used oils from seeds and nuts.Most of the time these oils are used as food,especially in cooking.But sometimes they have other uses.For example,oils are used in paint and in cleaning products like soap.
Oils are separated from seeds by using pressure.A machine called a press is often used.
The first step in pressing the oil from seeds is to crush the seeds between two stones.The crushed seeds are then put into a cloth bag and the bag is hung up.Some of the oil will flow out of the bag and can be collected.
But some oils will remain in the crushed seeds inside the bag.The easiest way to get the rest of the oil out is to place heavy rocks on the crushed material.
Another method is to place several cloth bags on top of each other in a box.Then a long wooden stick is used to slowly push a heavy cover down on the bags.Great pressure is produced in this way.Much greater pressure can be produced by using a machine,a hydraulic jack(液压千斤顶).The greater the pressure is,the more oils will be produced.
Small presses are important in areas where electricity or gasoline cannot be used.They are also a good way to test if a local market for oils exists.
Small batch presses can be made of local materials.Their cost is low.They are not difficult to operate.And they are easy to repair.The small presses produce good quality oils.But the work is hard.And getting all the oil from the seeds can be difficult.
If there is a large supply of seeds,then hand-operated presses may not be enough to support a business.Large powered presses that can operate all day are needed.

He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth ￡100 million.But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment’s celebration after making his first ￡1 million at the age of 16.Owens,who has used a computer since the age of seven,began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer.He used his pocket money to fund his first business project,website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made ￡700 000 since its establishment in 2008.Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to charities.
He then established an advertising company Branchr a year later and worked on the business after school and at weekends.Branchr made a surprising ￡500 000 in its first year.Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell advertising.
Owens,from Northampton,currently employs eight staff—all adults—around the UK and America as sales and technical assistants.The young man lives with his parents.His mother who is a company secretary said he was inspired to go into business after observing the huge success achieved by Apple’s chief executive officers(首席执行官)Steve Jobs.
Owens said,“I think everyone has business sense in them,and they just need to gain experience and be determined to make it.There is no magical formula(法则)for business.It takes hard work,determination and the drive to do something great.My aim is to become a leading name in the world of Internet and mobile advertising and push myself right to the top of the game.
The teenager insists his professional success has not affected his personal life,and says his interests include photography and playing the guitar.“My friends and I don’t really talk about my success.To them I’m just a normal teenager and it doesn’t change anything between us.”

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2011山东高考,D篇)
Since the 1970s,scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers.Brain-computer interface(BCI)technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently,two researchers,Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne,Switzerland,demonstrated (展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.
In the laboratory,Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand.He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
“Our brain has billions of nerve ceils.These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move.But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says.“Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”
The researchers designed a special cap for the user.This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer.The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair.The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path.They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
Prof.Millan,the team leader,says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands.“The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories:communication,and controlling devices.One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team has set two goals.One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from.And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.
1.BCI is a technology that can .?
A.help to update computer systems
B.link the human brain with computers
C.help the disabled to recover
D.control a person’s thoughts
提示:细节理解题。根据第一段可知,自20世纪70年代以来,科学家一直寻找途径能将人脑与电脑相连。BCI技术能帮助残疾人向机器发送指令。故此处B项正确。而C项只是部分正确,虽然能帮助残疾人,但却不能帮他们康复。
答案:B
2.How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
A.By controlling his muscles.
B.By talking to the machine.
C.By moving his hand.
D.By using his mind.
提示:细节理解题。根据第三段可知Tavella只是思考移动他的左右手就能操作这个轮椅。甚至当他观察这台机器时就能进行交流,也能用他的思想指导机器人工作。因此机器人是在人脑的思想支配下进行工作的。故D项正确。
答案:D
3.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
A.scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B.computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C.scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D.cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
提示:细节理解题。根据第五段可知,首先研究人员为用户设计一种特殊的帽子,它会捕捉头皮发出的信号并将其传给电脑。电脑将这些信号进行分析翻译,给监控下的机器人轮椅发出指令。机器人轮椅装有两部摄像头能识别信号路径中的物体,从而帮助电脑对人脑的指令作出反应。故此处C项正确。
答案:C
4.The team will test with real patients to .?
A.make profits from them
B.prove the technology useful to them
C.make them live longer
D.learn about their physical condition
提示:推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from.”可知,在患者身上进行实验是他们团队工作的一个目标,旨在证明这项技术对他们有益。故正确答案选B项。
答案:B
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Switzerland,the BCI Research Center
B.New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C.BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D.Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
提示:主旨大意题。本文为科技说明文,开篇点题。介绍科学家研究的这项新技术BCI,对残疾人大有裨益。故正确答案为C项。
