He chose 20 consonants (輔音) and 7 vowels (元音). These are sounds in English, too. Next, he created rules of grammar. For example,

12、in Navi, the word order is not important. Finally, he created a vocabulary of about 1,000 words. He finished the project in six months. Then Frommer taught Navi to the actors.

19、Lipinski who played it until 1861. Violins made by Antonio Stradivari are known for their richness and purity (純凈) of sound that are unmatched today.

20、aker. Cremona, a city of northern Italy, was the birthplace and seat of violin-making for nearly three centuries.

21、ng 1700-1725, known as his golden period, Stradivari improved on the soundbox design, and introduced an unusual deep red varnish (清漆), black edging, broad edges and wide corners.

26、em many amputees (someone who have lost all or part of an arm or leg) face. Recently a team of scientists has come up with a bionic arm: one that allows an amputee to feel as if he is using his natural arm. Now the biggest difficulty lies in connecting it to the nerves. We experience feeling because

27、 of our nerves, which send electrical signals to our brains. When the arm is cut off and fitted with a prosthetic arm (假臂), the peripheral (末梢的) nerves can no longer send a signal to the brain. The lack of signals makes amputees unable to feel objects that they pick up. The most important aspect of

28、the bionic arm is its connectivity to the nerves on the end of the arm. Sensors (傳感器) on the bionic arm detect and receive signals from any object it comes into contact with. Then, a computer program created by the scientists transforms the signal into an impulse (脈沖) that can be translated by nerve

29、s. Wires (金屬絲) from the sensors are connected to the nerves in the patient, allowing the signal to be sent to the brain. Early tests of the bionic arm have been successful, but it is not yet ready for wider use. The team of scientists wants to continue improving the instrument. An important advancem

30、ent would be to make it easy to carry; it now works with many wires outside, preventing amputees from using it outside of the lab. In addition, the scientists want to improve sensitivity and the feeling of finger movements. Being the first prosthetic instrument to connect to the nerves, the bionic a

31、rm still needs to undergo further tests. So only time will tell if it will be the next breakthrough in prosthetics.33. As for how a bionic arm works, what is the right order?a. Nerves translate the impulse.b. A bionic arm touches an object.c. Signals are transformed into an impulse.d. Nerves send el

It takes a long time to make such an arm.B. It can be harmful to an amputees nerves.C. It is not easy to find

33、suitable electric wires.D. It is not convenient for an amputee to carry.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Bionic arm gives hope to amputeesB. Amputee treatment programsC. A brief history of prostheticsD. How do bionic arms work?第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項
