A woman who couldn't feel hungry after a stroke(中风) may help us improve our
understanding of one area of the brain.
The 28-year-old Canadian was hospitalized after feeling weak on one side of her body and
having trouble speaking. The examination result showed that she had a stroke in a brain area called the
insula(脑岛).
Soon after the stroke.the woman noticed that she never felt hungry any more, even when she
hadn't eaten for a long time. She often forgot to eat and lost more than 10 kilograms.

The woman could still taste and smell the food, but often ate about half as much as usual
because she no longer enjoyed eating. Even chocolate,her favorite food,gave her no pleasure. The
woman's hunger finally came back about 12 months after the stroke.The insula is one of the least
understood parts of the brain. It works with other parts of the brain to make a feeling of hunger that
encourages eating. “This woman's brain would still have been receiving signals（信号)that she was
missing calories, but because of the damage(损伤) to her insula, she wouldn't have been aware of them,"
says Yoav Livneh at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
This finding could help to find new ways to treat obesity(肥胖).For example, it may be
possible to use some ways to send signals to the insula to prevent overeating,Livneh says. He agrees that
this is a possibility,but says it will be more important not to damage the insula's other functions(功能).
1.Why did the woman eat less just after the stroke?
A. She was in a bad mood.
B.She was trying to lose weight.
C. She was advised to eat less.
D. She lost the ability to feel hungry.2.What happened to the woman a year after the stroke?
A.She often forgot something.
B.She couldn't taste the food.
C. She lost interest in chocolate.
D. She could feel hungry again.
3.What can we know about the insula?A. It is easy to be damaged after a stroke.
B. It is the most important part of the brain.
C. It tells us when we should eat something.
D.It makes stroke patients difficult to smell.
4.What will the new finding probably help us to do?
A. Fight against the stroke.
B. Make our brain stronger.
C. Go on a healthy diet.
D. Deal with the obesity problem.
5.What's the best title for the passage?
A. New Treatment on Stroke
B. Insula's Newly-Found Role

【译文】
一位女子在中风后感觉不到饥饿，这种现象或许可以增进我们对大脑中的一个区域的了
解。
这位28岁的加拿大女子在感觉一侧身体无力和说话困难后，被送进了医院。检查结果
显示，她大脑中一个叫脑岛的区域发生了中风。
中风后不久，这名女子注意到，她再也不觉得饿了，即使她很久不吃东西，也是如此。
她经常忘记吃饭，体重下降了10多公斤。
她仍然能够尝到和闻到食物的味道，但通常只吃以往一半的量，因为她不再享受吃饭的
过程了。即使是巧克力——她最喜欢的食物，也不能让她快乐。这名女子的饥饿感在她中风约12个月
后，终于回来了。
脑岛是大脑中最不为人知的部分之一，它与大脑的其他部分一起工作，制造刺激进食的
饥饿感。“这位女士的大脑应该仍然在接收她正在失去卡路里的信号，但由于脑岛受损，她意识不到
这些信号。”以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的YoavLivneh说。
这一发现可能有助于找到治疗肥胖的新方法。Livneh说，例如，我们或许可以用一些方
法向脑岛发送信号，以防止暴饮暴食。他认为这是一种可能的选择，但他说，更重要的是不要损害脑
岛的其他功能。
【语篇解读】
一位女士在中风后一年的时间里都没有饥饿感，这是因为她大脑中的脑岛遭到了破坏。这起
病例或许可以帮助我们找到治疗肥胖的新方法。
【答案详析】
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A woman who couldn't feel hungry after a stroke”以及第
三段中的“Soon after the stroke, the woman noticed that she never felt hungry any more even when she
hadn't eaten for a long time.'可知，这位女十吃的比原来少了。是因为她中风后无法感觉到饥饿。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The woman's hunger finally came back about 12
months after the stroke.”可知.在中风12个月之后，她的饥饿感又恢复了。
3.C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“It works with other parts of the brain to make a
feeling of hunger that encourages eating."可知，脑岛与大脑的其他部分一起工作来产生饥饿感，从而刺
激人们去吃东西。

4.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“This finding could help to find new ways to treat
obesity.”可知，这个新发现可能会帮助我们找到治疗肥胖的新方法，故D项正确。
5.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，一位女士在中风后失去了饥饿感,检查结果显示这是因为她
大脑中的脑岛受到了损伤。研究人员认为这一发现可能有助于找到治疗肥胖的新方法。故B项“脑岛
的新‘角色’”最适合作文章标题。
中考时文阅读练习----智能窗户清洁机器人 Ozmo

The growth in skyscrapers(摩天大楼）worldwide,most of which have large glass
windows,has led to a great need for window washers. Though the job, which Cleaner offers workers as
4关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
much as $35 an hour, can be lucrative ,many people are afraid to take it,as accidents are quite common.
Now, the dangerous chore may soon be done by Ozmo,a smart window cleaning robot,with humans
supervising(监督）on the ground.
Much like humans, Ozmo,hanging off the sides of the building,uses its arms and brushes to
clean the dust on the glass.A 3D map of the building programmed into its system allows the robot to
skillfully move up and down. Computer vision and touch sensors(传感器) enable it to move out of the
way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window. And the robot will self-
correct and move around in order not to break a window.Unlike other window washers,the robot cleaner
does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead,it uses purified water(纯净水) and a process called
reverse osmosis(逆渗透)to do the job. It is environmentally friendly.
While it takes three human cleaners 480 hours to clean the windows of a 40-story glass
building,the robot will complete the task in just 80 hours. However,Ozmo will not take the place of
human workers,only making their jobs safer.Human workers will control the robot from below.
Whether Ozmo,which is still being tested,does as good a job as humans remains to be seen.
Past efforts to use a robot to do this dangerous job have not been successful,because the machines do not
have the same eyes as humans and often miss the dust collected on window corners.
1.The underlined word “lucrative”in Paragraph 1 means “____ ”in Chinese.
A.赚钱的 B.出色的 C.安全的 D.幸运的
2.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us_____.
A. where Ozmo can do its job skillfully
B.how Ozmo avoids unexpected events
C.how Ozmo works to clean the glass smartly
D. why Ozmo is more intelligent than human workers
3.Ozmo will not take the place of human workers because_____.
A.human workers do the cleaning job more carefully
B. it often misses the dust collected on window corners
C.it uses environmentally friendly materials in cleaning
D. human workers need to control and supervise the robot from below
4.To finish the task of cleaning the windows of a 40-story glass building, Ozmo spends_____
hours less than three human cleaners.
A.35 B.80 C. 400 D. 480

5.What can we know about Ozmo from the passage?
A. Ozmo can do the cleaning job better than human workers.
B.Ozmo can make human workers do their jobs more safely.
C. As an intelligent window cleaning robot Ozmo is not successful.
D.Ozmo does harm to the environment while cleaning windows.
【译文】
大部分摩天大楼都有很大的玻璃窗，世界各地摩天大楼的增加引起了对洗窗工的巨大需求。
虽然这项工作能提供高达每小时35美元的收入，但许多人不敢从事这项工作，因为事故常常发生。现
在，这项危险的工作可能很快就会由智能擦窗机器人Ozmo来完成了，人们只需在地面上监督。 与
人类一样，Ozmo悬挂在大楼的侧面，用它的臂和刷子清洁玻璃上的灰尘。系统中编入的建筑物的3D
地图使该机器人能够熟练地上下移动。计算机视觉和触觉传感器使它能够在遇到窗户突然打开等突发
事件时，能够躲开。而且，该机器人会自我纠正并四处移动，以免打碎窗户。
不同于洗窗工的是，擦窗机器人不需要用肥皂来清洁玻璃。相反，它利用纯净水和逆渗
透过程来完成这项工作。这很环保。
清洁一栋40层大楼的玻璃窗，三个洗窗工需要花费480个小时，而该机器人只需短短
80个小时就能完成任务。然而，Ozmo不会取代工人，它只是使他们的工作更安全。工人将在地面操
控该机器人。
尚在测试中的Ozmo是否能像人类一样出色地完成工作还有待观察。过去，也有人试过
利用机器人来从事这项危险的工作，但这些尝试没有取得成功，因为那些机器没有人类那样的眼睛，
经常会漏掉沉积在窗角的灰尘。
【语篇解读】
随着城市中的摩天大楼越来越多，玻璃幕墙也越来越多。对于清洁工人来说，清洗高
层建筑的幕墙是一件危险的工作。智能窗户清洁机器人Ozmo的出现将有助于解决这一问题。
【答案详析】
1.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Though the job,which offers workers as much as $35 an
hour”可知，这份工作的时薪高达35美元，即这份工作是很赚钱的。由此可推知，lucrative意为“赚钱
的”
2.C 段落大意题。根据第二段的内容可知，像人类一样，悬挂在大楼侧面的Ozmo 用它的手
臂和刷子清理玻璃上的灰尘。在此过程中，Ozmo会借助计算机视觉和触觉传感器来规避意外事件。由
此可知，本段主要介绍了Ozmo是如何以智能的方式清洁玻璃的。

3.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“with humans supervising on the ground”和第四
段中的“Ozmo will not take the place of human workers"及“Human workers will control the robot from
below.”可知，Ozmo不会取代工人，原因是它仍需在工人的控制、监督下运行。
4. C 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“While it takes three human cleaners 480 hours to clean
the windows of a 40-story glass building,the robot will complete the task in just 80 hours.”可知，要清洁
一栋40层的玻璃建筑的玻璃，3名清洁工需要花费480个小时，而Ozmo只需80个小时，比工人少用
400个小时。
5.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Ozmo will not take the place of human workers, only
making their jobs safer”可知，Ozmo不会取代工人，只会让工人们的工作更安全。
【长难句分析】
原句：（最后一段第一句）Whether Ozmo,which is still being tested, does as good a job as
humans
remains to be seen.
译文：目前仍在测试中的Ozmo 是否能像人类一样出色地完成工作还有待观察。
分析：这是一个复合句。Whether Ozmo...does as good a job as humans 为 whether引导的
主语从句，其中which is still being tested为which引导的非限制性定语从句，对Ozmo进行补充说明。
