35、ll time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose.But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as shes told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of ot

36、her breakthrough toys like Sonys barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibos innovations(创新) one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears

37、to be learning.The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breath into an inanimate(无生命的) object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lack

38、ing in one of the abilities that life-forms use to react to their environment.So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindys case, its a multistep process. When presented a text like “I love you” and asked “Can you read this?” Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. The

43、m?Pocket calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essential to thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. Schools have tried to limit their use, by allowing them in science lessons, to save time but by not allowing them to be used in maths classes. When children do their

44、homework, a pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in Britain, calculators can be used freely in school examinations, and already in many schools the only sound to be heard during a mathematics examination is the sound of children tapping out their answers.Many parents feel that their children are no

45、t being given a basic understanding of the facts of maths. “ The process of addition, division, subtraction and multiplication is part of a training in logic which is important for every child. It teaches them to take series of steps necessary in coming to a conclusion,” says a local maths teacher.

46、“ With a calculator, the child can reach the right answer, but have no idea at all how he got there.” Another teacher in the same school disagreed. “Of course the children understand the principles(基本原理) behind what they do on the calculator. It makes no difference to the mental processes they go th

47、rough, except to make them much faster, and less boring.” “Its far easier to teach them to completely understand the idea of division and multiplication by making them understand which button they need to push than to talk about apples being cut in pieces,” said another teacher, who uses calculators

48、 to keep the interest of his class.In any case, the pocket calculator is here to stay; its taking the stress out of mental labor in all sorts of ways.68. From the passage we learn that _.A. in Britain students are encouraged by schools to use pocket calculatorsB. parents use the calculators to keep

49、the interest of their childrenC. people have different opinions on whether pocket calculators should be used in maths classesD. all the teachers agree that pocket calculators should be used in classes but not in school examinations69. As a local maths teacher says, children can reach the right answe

50、r with a calculator, but they _.A. really dont know how they can get better gradesB. have no idea how to use the calculator properlyC. cant understand whether the answer is rightD. dont know how they get it70. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Calculators used to be as cheap as a pair of shoesB.

51、 Some schools dont allow the students to use pocket calculators in maths classC. How to add, divide, subtract and multiply is a question of mathsD. Its easy to calculate with a calculator71. The author stands for the opinion that _.A. Students should be allowed to use pocket calculators freelyB. sin

52、ce the pocket calculator has been created, it should be made use ofC. pocket calculators shouldnt be used by students in maths classesD. Terry should get grades four times better than KateEOne cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, sayin

53、g: “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone(砂轮)”“Yes , sir,” said I .“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man. “Will you let me grind(磨) my ax?”Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir. The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot

54、water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “Im sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax

55、, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小坏蛋),youve played truant(逃课)! Run to school, or youll be sorry! ”“

56、Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, YC but now to be called a rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax

57、to grind.”72In this passage, the word “flattery” means .Anice words used beyond truthBan order or directionCkind words spoken by elder people to children Dgood manners73The man asked the boy many questions because .Ahe wanted to know how old the boy was Bhe wanted to know the boys nameChe wanted to

Ahe didnt need the boy any more Bhe didnt like the boys play truantChis ax was damaged by the boy Dhe thought that boy should go to school on time75Today in the writers vocabulary “That man has an ax to grind” means
