It might sound like magic,but in February,a paralyzed patient was able to drink water
on his own by controlling a special glove with his brain.The glove then acted as his hand.This was a
success in brain-machine interface (BMI,)technology made by a team of Chinese scientists
and doctors.
BMI refers to creating a connection between the human brain and external devices(外部设备),
making communication between the brain and computers.For paralyzed people,BMI can allow them
to move and do simple things by themselves.
On Oct.24,2023,the team put a BMI chip in the patient's head.The chip can receive neural
signals(神经信号)from the brain..
After three months of home recovery (training,the patient can now use his brain signals to
control a special glove powered by air pressure.This helps him do things like drinking water
independently.
BMI technology usually means putting chips directly into the patient's brain.However,this
project is minimally invasive(微创的),making sure the patient's brain is not hammed.So it is an
important breakthrough.It also uses a wireless power supply(无线电源),so the implanted(植入的)
device doesn't need a battery.
Li from Shanghai Tech University told CCTV News that BMI is now mainly used in the medical
field to improve the lives of people with brain-related problems or speech difficulties.
In China,BMI technology is still in the early stages of research,with no products on the market
yet.Some people are worried that tests may influence patients'independence and even who they are
Ethical concerns (related to BMI also need to be noticed.These include whether the patient
has a clear understanding of what is going on when he agrees to take part in the test.
)44.What is China's recent success in BMI?
A.A BMI chip was successfully put into a patient's brain
B.BMI helped a paralyzed patient drink water on his own
C.A paralyzed patient can move freely with a BMI chip.
D.A paralyzed patient can communicate with computers.
)45.What is the external device in the recent experiment?
A.A BMI chip.
B.A neural signal.
C.The brain.
D.An air pressure-powered glove.
)46.What does "breakthrough"mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Mistake.
B.Achievement.
C.Experiment.
D.Creation.
)47.What is the advantage of the new BMI technology?
A.It doesn't harm patients'brains.
B.It doesn't need any power.
C.It understands patients'needs correctly.
D.It helps people improve their speech skills.
)48.What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.People can buy products with BMI technology
B.BMI technology will not cause any problems.
C.Some people are worried about the possible problems caused by BMI technology
D.Many patients are looking forward to BMI technology.
