9、d out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a PhD in mathematics. From then on, mathemati

10、cs provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time peop

11、le（Einstein was one of the others）.World War hugely changed von Neumanns areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became inte

12、rested in computing machines and made several outstanding contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was the president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic E

13、nergy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.Von Neumann really was a legend in his own time, and there a

14、re a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way, “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”1.According to the text, von Neu

15、manns father believed that . A.a mathematician couldnt earn a lot of moneyB.a mathematician needed a good memoryC.von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same timeD.von Neumann had the gift for solving problems at a high speed2.Von Neumann published his first book at the age of .A.2

16、3 B.26 C.29 D.323.How did World War affect John von Neumann?A.He realized the importance of engineering.B.He began to research how to put mathematics into practice.C.He left college and served at the government department.D.He lost interest in chemistry.4.What can we conclude about von Neumann based

17、 on the text?A.He had three children.B.He died in an accident.C.He received many awards in his life.D.He and Einstein were classmates at Princeton University.BElon Musk, perhaps the worlds most brilliant businessman, has a habit of making statements that stretch the bounds of believability.On July 1

18、6th, 2019, he introduced a new type of brain-machine interface（BMI）, starting from the design of a “neural lace（神经织网）”, a net of thin electrodes（电极） that capture the information from the brain. However, the electrodes must be flexible, so that they do not damage brain tissue and will last for a long

19、 time. And to make the implantation（植入） of so many electrodes safe, painless and effective, the process has to be automated.Mr. Musks team does indeed seem to have made progress towards these goals. Their presentation includes videos of a robot that is best described as a sewing machine. This robot

20、grabs “threads”, and shoots them deep into the brain through a hole. The firm has also designed a chip that can handle signals from as many as 3,072 electrodes.With all these technological breakthroughs, the firm now hopes to help people overcome such illnesses as blindness and paralysis. They desig

21、ned a small device that would sit behind someones ear, picking up signals from the implanted chip and passing them on as appropriate. In a few years, using a brain implant to control your devices may be as prevalent as wearing wireless earphones today. Finally, Musk predicts neural lace will allow h

22、umans to be combined with AI systems, thus enabling the species to survive.Though, as this announcement shows, Mr. Musk does have a habit of presenting himself as the hero of the human race, at least the concept that some machines will come under the direct control of human brains seems possible to

23、be carried out. The biggest barrier to this happening will probably not be writing the software needed to interpret brainwaves, but rather persuading people that the necessary surgery, whether by sewing machine or otherwise, is actually a good idea.5.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .

24、A.electrodes should be flexible to extend lifeB.Elon Musk constantly comes up with unexpected ideasC.a neural lace is used to store information from the brainD.electrodes are implanted by top surgeons for safety reasons6.What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Useful

25、. B.Common.C.Professional. D.Appropriate.7.What is the hardest part of carrying out BMI?A.Convincing people to accept the surgery.B.Developing devices to perform the surgery.C.Writing the software to interpret brainwaves.D.Informing people of the success of the surgery.8.What is the best title of th

26、is passage?A.The Neural Lace, a New Type of BMIB.Elon Musk, the Hero of Human BeingsC.Artificial Intelligence, the Way to SurviveD.A Brain Implant, a Step to Control Machines.七选五Online courses have become popular in many countries. There are different kinds of online courses, but most show a video o

27、f a teacher and students in a classroom. Students watch the video online and take part in online activities. Some courses are free and open to anyone. 1 Of course, watching videos on a screen is not the same as taking part in a real class.2 In Singapore, eight schools have been chosen to try new way

28、s of using technology in the classroom. The schools have tablets（平板电脑）and touchscreens instead of books and blackboards in the classrooms. 3 Through them, students can communicate with each other and work on projects together.In South Korea, some students have been taught English by teachers in the

29、Philippines and other countries since 2011. The teachers are in their home countries and are connected to the South Korean classrooms via the Internet. Instead of looking at a screen, the students interact with a robot in the classroom. The robot is controlled by the teacher. 4Thanks to technology, more and more ways of teaching and learning are being developed.5 But one thing is for surethere has never been a more interesting time to be a student.A.E-learning can be succ
