A report on a new software that enables eyes to do the typing appears in Wednesday’s edition of the journal Nature. Replacing a keyboard or mouse, eye-scanning-cameras mounted on computers have become necessary tools for people without limbs or those affected with paralysis. The camera tracks the movement of the eye, allowing users to “type” on a virtual keyboard as they look at the screen. And now, researchers from the Cavendish Laboratory at
The letters of the alphabet appear in a single column on the right of the screen, with an underline symbol to represent a space. Each letter is framed by a colored box. As the user looks at a particular letter on the right side of the screen and drags it to the left with their eye, another sub-alphabet column begins to emerge inside the box on the right-hand side, along with more letters framed in colored boxes. Dasher is designed to anticipate which letter will be needed, so although the successive sub-alphabet columns are initially very small, the letters or combination of letters that appear are most likely to be used next in that sequence. For example, if a person starts with the letter “h”, the language models in Dasher will bring up “a” “e” “i” “o” and “u” in the sub-alphabet box, along with a few other possible combinations like “ello” to form the word “hello”. Each box has a complete alphabet within it, though the first letters to appear have the highest probability of usage. The letters are then placed together to form a sentence on the left side of the screen.
Researchers say people will be able to write up to 25 words per minute with Dasher compared to on-screen keyboards, which they say average about 15 words per minute. With a bit of practice, MacKay said, Dasher offers an easier and more satisfying way for disabled people to communicate, providing them with better tools to write e-mail or create word processor files. Mackay said Dasher could work in most languages.
72. With the new software Dasher, people can type with their eyes through_____.
A. a computer screen with eye-scanning sensors
B. an eye-scanning camera on computer
C. a colored box attached to the computer
D. a regular keyboard with sensors
73. The new method of typing will most benefit those people who___________ .
A. have reading difficulties B are visually incompetent
C. are physically challenged. D. do not have a big vocabulary
74. The software Dasher_______________ .
A. is able to predict the next sequence of words the user is going to write
B. can form coherent sentences based on the first word typed in by the user
C. has to be used with eye-scanning cameras specially designed for the
software
D. does not allow the user to move a lot during the interaction
75. Which of the following is true about Dasher?
A. It can be used to write ten more words than on screen keyboard per minute.
B. It is easier to use than ordinary keyboards.
C. It can provide hints for possible sentences to be written.
D. It is an independent text processor.
During the month of September, a dear friend of mine lost her husband suddenly in an accident. The tragedy was a 1 to everyone. When I got the news, I drove home 2 that we just don’t know when a loved one is 3 going to be with us. We sometimes take our loved ones 4 , and we expect that they will be with us forever. 5 , as we all know, life does not work that 6 and sometimes we get a wake up call that shocks us and makes us 7 and realize how short life is.
In comforting her at the funeral, I tried to imagine if I was in her 8 how would I feel.

She listened to me as I was shouting my 12 , then without saying a word, she took her hands and 13 them on my face, and said to me, “But at least you had a day.”
The 14 of her hands on my cheeks, the 15 in her voice, and the words she spoke, “BUT AT LEAST YOU HAD A DAY”, hit me like a ton of 16 . All the frustrations, all the stress that was 17 inside me - came to a complete 18 .

(C)
My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.
I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地).
My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me.
There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.
When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.
59. The author was nervous before the performance because _______.
A. his or her mother and father weren’t present
B. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stage
C. he or she hadn’t mastered the entire piece
D. he or she had never performed in public before
60. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. put into disorder B. forget about C. stop halfway D. do well in
61. The author _________.
A. didn’t make any mistake in the performance
B. felt better at the beginning of the performance
C. paid all attention to nothing but his / her performance
D. lost his / her concentration sometimes during the performance
62. What did the author feel about his / her performance?
A. He / She thought it was comfortable and successful.
B. He / She thought it was very difficult but successful.
C. He / She thought he / she had never made a mistake during the performance.
D. He / She thought he / she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.
