However, at the new Hoy toca el Prado exhibition at Madrid s Mu seo Nacional Del Prado, the officials don’t just encourage the habit, they insist upon it. That's because this unique art display has been specially created to enable visually impaired visitors to experience the joy of the works of some of the world s most famous artists just like able-bodied people can.The three-dimensional(三维的) masterpieces are the brainchild of Estudios Durero,a graphics art. The creators began by taking high resolution images of the original works. They then used a special ink to add different 3-D textures(手感) to the paintings. This allows blind visitors to feel features like hair, skin, cloaks, etc. so that they can create a visual image of what the art looks like in their minds.Since the blind can see some colors,equal emphasis was given to the colors in the paintings. Braille(盲文) text carved on the wall next to each exhibit allows visitors to get more information about the picture, while an audio guide completes the incredible journey!Though there are a few other museums that have special exhibits for the blind,the Museo Nacional Del Prado is the world s first major museum to create one with versions of their most famous masterpieces. As to why it has taken so long for the 200-year-old institution to come up with this brilliant concept, Fernando Perez,the museum s keeper says it is not due to lack of interest, but a lack of resources. Perez explains, “There are now new technologies to provide solutions that were previously not possible,such as the paints in relief. 3-D impressions, and Apps. Now that they have it all figured out, the officials plan to continue offering similar exhibitions in the future.As one visually impaired visitor briefly puts it,“For us the sense of sight is the sense of touch. My view is to touch, and usually I can t see the paintings others see in a museum一someone would have to explain them to me. But in this exhibit, I have the chance to see it with my hands."1.Why can the paintings in Hoy toca el Prado be touched?A.Because they are specially designed for the blind.B.Because they are created by famous artists.C.Because they are all made of unique materials.D.Because they are displayed in a special way.2.The second paragraph is mainly about ________.A.why the museum displayed its masterpiecesB.how the 3-D masterpieces were createdC.what special effects the 3-D masterpieces haveD.who are the creators of these 3-D masterpieces3.Why did it take the museum so long to come up with this concept?A.Because the museum has no interest in it.B.Be cause the painters don’t allow using their works.C.Because technology sets a limit to the museum.D.Because there is a lack of stuff in the museum.4.The last paragraph implies that ________.A.the blind people depend on touch to liveB.the blind are usually ignored by the museumC.paintings should be explained in the museumD.the exhibition has been a huge success3、Why College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What islacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.1.What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?A.SympatheticB.DisapprovingC.SupportiveD.Neutral2.The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A.changeB.choiceC.textD.extension3.According to the author, what role should college play?A.to develop a shared identity among studentsB.to define and regulate students’ social behaviorC.To provide a safe world without tension for studentsD.To foster students’ intellectual and personal development4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I:Introduction P:Point Sp:Sub-point (次要点)C:ConclusionA.B.C.D.4、Humans make mistakes.Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible.But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care,to be carried out by machines?That's the idea behind surgical robots,which may soon perform most surgeries,from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures.Many of these operations are,in fact,alreadycompleted with the assistance of robots.But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further,performing on soft tissue completely on their own,from start to finish.The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot(STAR),successfully completed surgeries on pigs."We're the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery,and when compared to standard operation,it's better,"says Peter Kim,professor of surgery."The idea is not to replace surgeons;it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer."A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body,or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22,000 procedures.That's rare,but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.In the da Vinci surgical system,surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar.The robot's every major move is controlled by surgeons,and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon's training or experience.STAR,on the other hand,is entirely autonomous.It's not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible "hand",but it's able to react to the unexpected incidents.Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing,but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex.STAR reacts to a changing environment,similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway,but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.1.The underlined word "infallible" in Paragraph 1probably means ______.A.quite smartB.really creativeC.rather responsibleD.always right2.We can learn from the passage that STAR ______.A.can perform the operation on its ownB.has been widely used in the operating roomC.can make surgeries much fasterD.will take the place of surgeons3.In the da Vinci surgical system, ______.A.robots are trained from afarB.robots always make mistakesC.surgery results depend on surgeonsD.surgeons have trouble controlling robots4.In the last paragraph,the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show ______.A.how smart an autonomous robot can beB.how difficult self-driving on the highway isC.how bad getting in another driver's way might beD.how dangerous operating on people is.5、Abzu is a word from the oldest Sumerian(苏美尔人的) stories,coming from the words “ab(ocean)” and “zu(to know)”,Giant Squids a company of the US, has named its newly developed video game ABZU. ①__________In ABZU. players explore the ocean—a space that can be both strange and familiar at times. As the nameless divers, players explore the seas and see underwater life,②__________Players can press buttons to dive and travel around the seas. They can swim with fish. They can touch pools and awaken creatures such as sea turtles. Players can awaken more wildlife and make the waters richer with life.As they adventure through the ocean, players will discover more. ③__________The developers used real fish and sea life and made some of the animals' real-life behaviors in the game. If players are sitting above these shark statues,they’ll see this circle of life as one fish eats another. ④__________It is like watching a Discovery Channel nature show.Further into the game,players will discover broken underwater robots,and these robots will open the path for the divers. The developers let the environment tell the background story and players find out the other secrets themselves. ⑤__________Many have played ABZU so far. They think although the game is a short adventure,it holds the promise of being something more.A. They'll see shark statues.B. You need to pay for the game skills at first.C. They'll see cleaner fish feeding around a shark's mouth.D. At first, the game seems aimless as players wander the seas.E. It can be played on Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.F. Underwater games are always welcomed by many young people in the US.G. Gradually, they'll find underwater temples that hold the key to the main story.6、I live in the northern suburb of San Francisco, where driving is considered the main transportation choice for most people. I still remember how 1 I was when I first learned to drive 10 years ago. 2 at night,with music calming me down,I was filled with joyand 3 in a foreign land!
