16、ld you want to? The challenge of keeping your body alive seems impossible, but some scientists are working on an alternative. They want to create a digital copy of your “self” and keep that copy “alive” long after your physical body has stopped functioning.In effect, their plan is to clone a person
17、electronically. Unlike ordinary physical cloneswhich have identical features as their parents, but which are independent organisms, each with a different conscious selfyour electronic clone would believe itself to be you.One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology(纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil, a lea
18、ding futurist, predicts that within two or three decades we will have tiny transmitters that can be injected into the brain. Once there, they would line up alongside neurons and monitor the details of the brains activity. They would then be able to transmit that information to receivers inside a spe
19、cial helmet, allowing us to map the brain.As a further step, Kurzweil foresees using these tiny transmitters to connect you to a world of virtual reality. With the transmitters in place, you could think your way onto the Internet. Instead of seeing pictures on a screen, you would see them in your mi

25、n an icecovered track, a bobsled(大雪橇) can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway? The answer is a combination of athletics and sc
26、ience.At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crews only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag(摩擦力和阻力) from slowing
27、the sled down.The design of the sleds runners(滑板) reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice
28、 for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull(外壳). As the cr
29、ew sped down the track, the air would create drag. Today, a sleds hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners, strict rules apply to the hull. For example, no team may add any part that would create helpful air current
30、s.Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds can travel on the run, the more thrilling the race，” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: the crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”5. Whats the text mainly about?A. T

Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride.B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes.C. Thi
32、n layer of water would drag the runners backward.D. A sleds movement has nothing to do with weather.7. What advantage does a sled with a hull have?A. Its comfortable to sit in.B. It leads to beneficial air flow.C. It helps to create a safe ride.D. Its free from strict rules.8. What is implied in the
33、 last paragraph?A. Safety is the most important.B. Keeping high speed is difficult.C. Riders desire to win is understandable.D. The crews cooperation is necessary. 七选五Finding an outlet for emotionFinland is fertile(肥沃的) ground for heavy metal music. For every 100，000 people, there are 70 metal bands
