1．After a long winter，spring is the ideal time for sightseeing and exploring London's green spaces．
1．Explore London's parks and gardens
Spring time is one of the perfect times of year to explore London's parks and gardens，when the city's plants are blooming．Go and admire the rainbow of azaleas （杜鵑花） at Richmond Park or hire a deckchair in St James's Park with a view of Buckingham Palace．
2．Enjoy the entertainment at spring festivals
There are a good many festivals and events held in London throughout spring．Make the most of the cultural exhibitions at the British Library Spring Festival，the Sundance Film Festival or the London Literature Festival；head for Shakespeare's Globe，which hosts open-air Shakespeare performances from late April to early October．
3．Get active
Warmer weather means there's no excuse for staying indoors，so go for a walking or cycling tour of London．Alternatively，walk the Thames Walkway，which follows the river all the way from central London to the countryside；make the most of London's "Boris Bikes"，which are available for hire all around the city and are free of charge for the first half hour．If you're really looking for a challenge，take part in the famous London Marathon，held annually in April．
4．Take to the waters
Whether cruising （航行）along the Thames River，hiring a rowing boat in Hyde Park or riding a canal boat around Little Venice，there are lots of fun ways to get on the water in London．Held every year since 1829，the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race allows teams from England's most famous universities to complete against each other，and draws huge crowds of watching people．

2．My father died when I was nine，and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother．I hated changing the vacuum cleaner （真空吸塵器） bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up．
Twenty years later，in 1978，I was doing chores at home alongside my wife．One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away，and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it．With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked，I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner．
Easier said than done，of course．I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design，a process that resulted in 5，127 different prototypes （設(shè)計原型）．By the time I made my 15th prototype，my third child was born．By 2，627，my wife and I were really counting our pennies．By 3，727，my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash，and we were getting further and further into debt．These were tough times，but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem．
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product，but I never thought of going into a business with it．In the early 1980s，I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology．The reality was very different，however．The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters （濾網(wǎng)）．No one would license my idea，not because it was a bad one，but because it was bad for business．
That gave me the courage to keep going，but soon after，the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine．I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner．However，I was still in financial difficulties until 1993，when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me ＄1 million．Then I was able to go into production．Within two years，the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain．
Today，I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process．Nothing beats the excitement of invention．Go out and brainstorm your ideas．You are not bound to any rules - in fact，the stranger and riskier your idea，the better．
（1）According to the article，which of the following statements about the writer is NOT true？
A．He lost his father during his childhood and lived with his mother．
B．He built over five thousand prototypes of the vacuum cleaner between 1978 and 1983．
C．Finally，the vacuum cleaner he reinvented became popular with British customers．
D．He decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties．
（2）According to the article，the writer's bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers．
A．in the early 1980s
B．a(chǎn)fter his bank manager agreed to lend him ＄1 million
C．a(chǎn)fter he managed to get a ＄1 million loan
D．before he obtained a patent on the product
（3）It can be inferred from the article that．
A．the writer was a born businessman
B．the writer had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially
C．the writer's invention might have ended up in failure without his wife
D．the writer's vacuum cleaner was never recognized by other vacuum makers
（4）According to the article，which of the following would most likely be the writer's motto？
A．Never be afraid of failure because failure is nothing but the first step to success．
B．The foundation stones for a success are honesty，faith，love and loyalty．
C．It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves．
D．If you would be wealthy，think of saving as well as getting．組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Helping yourself to a cup of coffee may seem like a small，everyday thing．But it is not the case if you are quadriplegic （四肢癱瘓）．Quadriplegics have lost the use of all four limbs．Thanks to a project organized by John Donoghue of Brown University，in Rhode Island，and his colleagues，quadriplegics have hope．
One of the participants in his experiments，a 58-year-old woman who is paralyzed and unable to use any of her limbs，can now pick up a bottle containing coffee and bring it close enough to her mouth to drink from it using a straw．She does so using a thought-controlled robotic arm fixed to a nearby stand．It is the first time she has managed something like that since she suffered a stroke，nearly 15 years ago．
Arms are more complicated pieces of machinery than legs，so controlling them via electrodes （多波段電極） attached to the skin of someone's scalp （頭皮） is not yet possible．Instead，brain activity has to be recorded directly．Andthat is what Dr Donoghue is doing．Dr Donoghue and his team have had small，multichannel electrodes implanted in the parts of the motor cortexes （運動皮質(zhì)） of participants' brains associated with hand movements．
Dr Donoghue and his team decoded signals from their participants' brains as they were asked to imagine controlling a robotic arm making present movements．The woman and other volunteers were then encouraged to operate one of two robot arms by thinking about the movements they wanted to happen．When the software controlling the arms detected the relevant signals，the arms moved appropriately．The arm that the woman used to help herself to a drink is a lightweight device developed by DLR，German's Aerospace Centre，as part of its robotics program．
Dr Donoghue and his colleagues have thus shown that a mechanical arm can be controlled remotely by the brain of a person with paralysis．Controlling an arm that is attached to the individual's body will be trickier，but in time even that may be possible．In the meantime，a robotic arm attached to a wheelchair will be a real soon．
（1）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A．Controlling a robotic arm via electrodes attached to the scalp．
B．Recording the activity of brain and implanting electrodes．
C．Controlling a robotic leg via electrodes attached to the scalp．
D．Controlling a mechanical arm attached to the individual's body．
（2）Which statement may the author agree with？
A．Thanks to the research by Dr Donoghue and his colleagues，a paralyzed woman can get herself a drink．
B．The woman in the experiment drinks a bottle of coffee with a robotic arm attached to her scalp．
C．The woman is encouraged to control the mechanical arm by moving her body．
D．The robotic arm the woman used is remoted by DLR．
（3）What's the author's attitude to the future of the robotic arm attached to quadriplegic？
A．Pessimistic．
B．Objective．
C．Controversial．
D．Optimistic．
（4）What's the main idea of the text？
A．Quadriplegics can use the artificial limbs developed by Dr Donoghue and lead a good life by themselves．
B．The newly-developed thought-controlled robotic arms can help the paralyzed in their daily life．
C．Scientists have invented a kind of robotic arm attached to the individual's body．
D．A quadriplegic can be on his feet again due to the new invention．組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5
