1、199 年 6 月Most people who travel long distances complain of jetlag (喷气飞行时差反应). Jetlag makes business travelers less productive and more prone _61_ making mistakes. It is actually caused by _62_ of your “body clock”-a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological _63_. The body c

Soon afterward, the Federal government _78_ cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later _79_ them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that

CAlthough there are many skillful Braille readers, thousands of other blind people find it difficult to learn that system.

27、 They are thereby shut _61_ from the world of 7books and newspapers, having to _62_ on friends to read aloud to them.A young scientist named Raymond Kurzweil has now designed a computer which is a major _63_ in providing aid to the _64_. His machine, Cyclops, has a camera that _65_ any page, interpr

28、ets the print into sounds, and then delivers them orally in a robot-like _66_ through a speaker. By pressing the appropriate buttons _67_ Cyclopss keyboard, a blind person can “read” any _68_ document in the English language.This remarkable invention represents a tremendous _69_ forward in the educa

29、tion of the handicapped. At present, Cyclops costs $50,000. _70_, Mr. Kurzweil and his associates are preparing a smaller _71_ improved version that will sell _72_ less than half that price. Within a few years, Kurzweil _73_ the price range will be low enough for every school and library to _74_ one

30、. Michael Hingson, Director of the National Federation for the Blind, hopes that _75_ will be able to buy home _76_ of Cyclops for the price of a good television set.Mr. Hingsons organization purchased five machines and is now testing them in Maryland, Colorado, Iowa, California, and New York. Blind

31、 people have been _77_ in those tests, making lots of _78_ suggestions to the engineers who helped to produce Cyclops.“This is the first time that blind people have ever done individual studies _79_ a product was put on the market, Hingson said. “Most manufacturers believed that having the blind hel

32、p the blind was like telling disabled people to teach other disabled people. In that _80_, the manufacturers have been the blind ones.”61. A) upB) downC) inD) off62.

CHistorically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. _62_ that logic, 2006 sh

36、ould have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still _63_ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on _64_ TV. Anyone who didnt know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made

37、 _65_ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our _66_ to work together before everything goes to hell.Granted, some amount of delusion (错觉) is probably part of the _67_ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work _68_, in

38、the same spotuntil they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a _69_ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at _70_ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we _71_ did about the dangers we face. But it turns _

39、72_ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is _73_ the storm, the quake or the _74_ itself. More often, it is ourselves.So what has happened in the year that _75_ the disaster on the Gulf Coast? In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls. The

40、y have got the walls to _76_ they were before Katrina, more or less. Thats not _77_, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all _78_ can be expected from one year of hustle (忙碌).Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to _79_ the sick and the disabled. The

41、 city estimates that 15,000 people will need a _80_ out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The _81_ with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.62. A) ToB) ByC) OnD) For63. A) freshB) obviousC) apparentD) evident64. A) visualB) vividC) live
