26、r, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,“ Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.“Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up t
27、o partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.

Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
34、“I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.第 5 页 共 8 页The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amoun
35、t through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to
36、need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007
37、, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing
38、it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that f
39、ederal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.66. According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?细节理解A. The twins wasted too much money.B. The father was out of work.C. Their saving ran out.D. The fami
40、ly fell apart.67. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem? 细节理解A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D. They got help from the school and the federal government.68. Financial aid administrators
41、believe that _.细节理解A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of complaintC. college tuition fees will double soonD. Americas unemployment will fall 69. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text? 细节理解A. They blamed the
42、 government for the tuition increase.B. Their income remained steady in the last decade. C. They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.70.

44、logy 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 persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated th
45、e wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuri
46、es 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. Mil
