Question

【題目】Amanda Kitts is one of “tomorrow’s people” people who have artificial (人工的) body pats. She has a bionic(電子操控的)arm.

Now, Kitts runs a day -care center. Children run up to her

happily as she comes into the classroom. She bends over to talk with a small girl. As she bends Kitts puts her hands on her knees. For most people, this would be easy. However, just a few years

ago, this was impossible for Kitts.

In 2006, Kitts was in a car accident. A truck crushed(擠壞) her left arm and the doctor had to

cut it off. "I was angry, sad, depressed. I just couldn't accept it," she says. But then she heard about a new technique that could use the remaining nerves(神經(jīng)) in her shoulder to contort an artificial arm.

In a difficult operation, a doctor moved Kitts's nerves to different mens of her upper- arm muscles. For months, the nerves grew. Millimeter by millimeter, they moved deeper into their new homes. “At three months I started feeling little tingles and twitches(刺痛和抽搐),”she said. A month later, she got her first bionic arm. A research engineer worked with Kitts to make the computer programs match her real movements more and more closely.

Today, Kitts's arm is great, but it's not yet perfect. She wants feeling in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is rough or smooth. She also needs feeling to do one of her favorite things-drink coffee "The problem with a paper coffee cup is that my hand will close until it gets a solid grip,” she says. One time at a coffee shop, her hand kept closing until it crushed the cup. But Kitts says positively, "One day I'll be able to feel things with it, and clap my hands… to the songs my kids are singing”

【解析】短文大意：文章介紹了阿曼達基茨在一次意外事故中失去了自己的左臂，在新技術(shù)的幫助下，她利用剩下的上臂神經(jīng)，獲得了新的仿生手臂。本文介紹了她的手臂的情況。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的句子She has a bionic(電子操控的)arm.可知，阿曼達基茨她有一個仿生手臂。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段的句子At three months I started feeling little tingles and twitches(刺痛和抽搐),”she said. A month later, she got her first bionic arm.可知，在三個月的時候，她開始感覺到輕微的刺痛和抽搐。一個月后，她得到了她的第一個仿生手臂。因此一共是四個月，故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A. clap her hands 拍拍手；B. hold thing拿東西；C. feel rough or smooth things感覺得到粗糙或光滑的東西。根據(jù)短文的最后一段的句子The problem with a paper coffee cup is that my hand will close until it gets a solid grip, 和句子But Kitts says positively, "One day I'll be able to feel things with it, and clap my hands… to the songs my kids are singing”說明，阿曼達基茨的仿生手臂可以拿東西，但是不能拍拍手和感受粗糙或光滑的東西。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。題干的意思是，阿曼達基茨對她的新手臂的態(tài)度是怎樣的。A. positive 積極地；B. Angry生氣的；C. perfect完美的。根據(jù)最后一段的句子But Kitts says positively, "One day I'll be able to feel things with it, and clap my hands… to the songs my kids are singing” 但阿曼達基茨積極地說，“有一天我能感覺到它，當(dāng)我的孩子們唱歌的時候，我會為他們拍拍我的手鼓掌”。說明阿曼達基茨對于她的新手臂很積極樂觀。故選A。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。排序題。選擇事件發(fā)生的正確順序。文章第一段“③Kitts有兩個人的手臂”，一個是自己的，另一個是利用了別的男性的仿生手臂；第三段第一行④A truck hit Kitts's car知道作者在2006，Kitts遭遇車禍。一輛卡車碾碎了她的左臂。根據(jù)第三段的第二行①Kitts heard about a new technique可知她聽說了一項新技術(shù)。再根據(jù)第四段的第一行⑥Doctors moved some of the nerves in Kitts’s arm可知，醫(yī)生把Kitts的神經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)移到她利用的不同男性的上臂肌肉的身上。由第四段的第四行可知⑤Kitts got her first bionic arm基茨獲得了她的第一個仿生手臂。根據(jù)最后一段的第三行②Kitts crushed a paper coffee cup可知，基茨把咖啡杯壓碎了。因此事件的正確順序是③④①⑥⑤②選擇C。
