Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.
4. The author’s father worked at the local hospital to_______________.
A. make his serious heart condition less serious B. keep himself occupied and pleased
C. realize his childhood dream D. earn money to pay for treatment
5. How did the author’s father help the paralyzed little girl?
A. He helped her practice walking. B. He visited her and made a toy for her.
C. He showed her she could still do things. D. He painted special pictures for her.
6. According to Paragraph 3, the paralyzed girl _______________.
A. eventually became a unique painter
B. was sent home and never seen again
C. gradually recovered and walked
D. sent the author’s dad a picture painted with her mouth
7. What message does the passage mainly convey?

B. A sick person should not focus on his disease.
C. Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do.
D. Love can sometimes bring great results.

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented era in the realm of space exploration, marked by a surge in the retrieval and study of celestial samples. This “golden age” is characterized by the active efforts of global space agencies to gather and analyze material from various celestial bodies, including asteroids, moons, and planets.
China’s Chang’e 5 mission stands out as a recent triumph in this endeavor. On December 17 the Chang’e 5 lunar probe successfully concluded its journey by landing in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, as reported by China Daily. This mission, the first lunar sample-return endeavor since 1976, managed to secure an impressive 1,713 grams of lunar rocks and dust, utilizing advanced drilling technology and robotic arms.
Similarly, on December 6, Japan’s Hayabusa 2 probe achieved a remarkable feat by returning a capsule filled with samples from the asteroid Ryugu. This marks the second instance of asteroid samples being collected and brought back to Earth, following the original Hayabusa spacecraft’s accomplishment in 2010.
The momentum in this field is set to continue, with NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft anticipated to return to Earth in 2023, carrying samples from the asteroid Bennu. Additionally, Russia’s Lunar-25 mission is poised to launch in 2021, with the objective of collecting lunar samples.
The significance of these sample-return missions cannot be overstated. They hold the potential to shed light on long-standing mysteries that have baffled scientists, such as the origins of life and the emergence of water on Earth. As Ann Nguyen, a NASA planetary scientist, emphasizes, “I cannot emphasize enough how valuable return samples are for increasing our understanding of the origin and evolution of our solar system and our place in the universe, and how we came to be.”
Upon arrival on Earth, these celestial samples undergo meticulous analysis using sophisticated instruments. These analyses can yield more detailed insights than what can be gleaned from photographs or robotic rovers alone.
In the case of the Chang’e 5 lunar samples, scientists will employ a variety of analytical methods, tests, and experiments to determine the composition, structure, and physical properties of the lunar material. This comprehensive understanding will contribute to a deeper comprehension of the moon’s history and, by extension, the broader history of our solar system.
Though we have only begun to explore the surface of these celestial bodies, both in a literal and figurative sense, the knowledge we have gained is already substantial. The journey of discovery is far from over, with a wealth of mysteries still waiting to be unveiled.
8. What do we know about the Chang’e 5 lunar probe?
A. It was launched on Dec 17.
B. It collected the world’s first lunar sample.
C. It brought back 1,713 grams of lunar samples.
D. It completed the most successful mission recently.
9. Which of the following collected the first asteroid samples?
A. Hayabusa. B. Hayabusa 2. C. OSIRIS-REx. D. Russia’s Lunar-25.
10. What can the samples shed light on (阐明)?
A. The origin of life. B. Structure of the solar system.
C. Which celestial bodies have water. D. How water first appeared on the moon.
11. What will scientists do with the samples?
A. Analyze them and conduct experiments. B. Determine their sources.
C. Compare them with space photos. D. Scratch their surfaces.
D
An artificial cognitive system possesses the capability to translate linguistic expressions and syntactical structures from cerebral functional patterns with an impressive degree of precision. By utilizing a brief temporal window of cerebral functional data, the AI can deduce the auditory content that an individual has perceived. The system is capable of positioning the accurate response within its topmost 10 potential outcomes, as determined in a foundational research endeavor.
This AI has been engineered at Meta, the corporate entity that encompasses Facebook, and it holds the potential to ultimately assist a vast number of individuals globally who are incapacitated from engaging in verbal communication, textual input, or gestural conveyance.
The majority of current technological solutions designed to facilitate communication for such individuals necessitate invasive neurosurgical procedures to implant electrodes. However, this innovative methodology “could offer a viable alternative to assist patients grappling with communicative impediments, circumventing the necessity for surgical interventions,” remarks neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a researcher within the Meta AI division.
King and his fellow researchers have conditioned a computational apparatus, also referred to as a linguistic model, to identify words and sentences across 56,000 hours of vocalized records from a spectrum of 53 languages. The research collective then applied an AI equipped with this linguistic model to data repositories from four distinct institutions that encompassed cerebral functional data from 169 consenting volunteers. Within these repositories, participants were exposed to an array of narratives and sentences, while their cerebral activity was monitored via magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Subsequently, employing a computational technique that accounts for the anatomical variances among individual brains, the team endeavored to decipher the auditory content that the participants had apprehended, utilizing merely three seconds of cerebral functional data from each individual. The team directed the AI to correlate the phonetic elements from the narrative recordings with the cerebral functional patterns that the AI had deduced to be indicative of the auditory stimuli that the subjects were receiving. It then prognosticated the auditory content that the individual might have been exposed to during that brief interval, considering over 1,000 potential options. Utilizing MEG, the correct response was consistently included within the AI’s top 10 conjectures, as ascertained by the researchers.
“The current research is focused on the decoding of auditory speech recognition, not its generation,” King concurs, “Although the generation of speech is the ultimate aspiration, at present, we are still considerably distant from achieving this objective.”
12. What is the main advantage of the new technology?
A. Avoiding dangerous operations on patients.
B. Helping patients with communication problems.
C. Providing a path to communicate with others.
D. Freeing patients from risky brain operations.
13. Whom might be the AI be beneficial to?
A. People unable to communicate normally.
B. People who canˈt move around.
C. People who are unconscious.
D. People unable to eat.
14. What does Jean-Rémi King think of the new study?
A. Disappointing. B. Surprising. C. Promising. D. Exciting.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A A New Study on Artificial Intelligence
B. The Application of MEG Technology
C. A New Way to Decode Speech
D. A Solution to Communication Problems

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It sounds like you’re working on a story or a personal anecdote about preparing for a holiday card photo. The situation you’ve described is quite common and relatable, especially during the holiday season when many people try to make everything perfect for their cards. Here’s a possible continuation of your story, filling in some details and bringing it to a conclusion:
The clock was ticking, and the pressure was mounting. My husband, with his calm demeanor and steady hands, took over the situation. He had a knack for these things, and I had to admit, I was out of options.
As I sipped my tea downstairs, I could hear the soft sounds of reassuring words and the gentle snips of the scissors. My older son, always the helpful one, was by his side, ready to assist in any way he could.
When they finally called me upstairs, I was met with a sight that made my heart swell. My younger son’s hair was no longer a disaster; it was now neatly trimmed, and he looked absolutely adorable. My husband had worked his magic, and my older son had managed to keep our little one entertained and calm throughout the process.
The next morning, the photographer arrived, and the whole family was ready. We were all in our new white polo shirts, and my younger son's hair looked better than ever. The photographer captured our smiles and laughter, and for a moment, we were all just happy to be together.
The holiday cards turned out better than I could have imagined. The picture was perfect—not because of the matching shirts or the professional haircut, but because it truly captured our family’s spirit. We sent them out, a little later than I had initially planned, but they were filled with love and the joy of our real, imperfectly perfect family.
In the end, I learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, letting go of the need for perfection and embracing the help of loved ones can lead to the most beautiful results. Our holiday cards were a testament to that, and they were cherished by our friends and family.
Remember, this is just a creative continuation based on the details you’ve provided. If you have a specific direction you’d like the story to go or if you need help with a particular part of the narrative, feel free to let me know!
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With no mood for tea, I was walking around downstairs restlessly.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I saw the three of them were happy with the same buzz cut (寸头) made by my husband, my tears were replaced with smiles and I made a decision.

Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented era in the realm of space exploration, marked by a surge in the retrieval and study of celestial samples. This “golden age” is characterized by the active efforts of global space agencies to gather and analyze material from various celestial bodies, including asteroids, moons, and planets.
China’s Chang’e 5 mission stands out as a recent triumph in this endeavor. On December 17, the Chang’e 5 lunar probe successfully concluded its journey by landing in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, as reported by China Daily. This mission, the first lunar sample-return endeavor since 1976, managed to secure an impressive 1,713 grams of lunar rocks and dust, utilizing advanced drilling technology and robotic arms.
Similarly, on December 6, Japan’s Hayabusa 2 probe achieved a remarkable feat by returning a capsule filled with samples from the asteroid Ryugu. This marks the second instance of asteroid samples being collected and brought back to Earth, following the original Hayabusa spacecraft’s accomplishment in 2010.
The momentum in this field is set to continue, with NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft anticipated to return to Earth in 2023, carrying samples from the asteroid Bennu. Additionally, Russia’s Lunar-25 mission is poised to launch in 2021, with the objective of collecting lunar samples.
The significance of these sample-return missions cannot be overstated. They hold the potential to shed light on long-standing mysteries that have baffled scientists, such as the origins of life and the emergence of water on Earth. As Ann Nguyen, a NASA planetary scientist, emphasizes, “I cannot emphasize enough how valuable return samples are for increasing our understanding of the origin and evolution of our solar system and our place in the universe, and how we came to be.”
Upon arrival on Earth, these celestial samples undergo meticulous analysis using sophisticated instruments. These analyses can yield more detailed insights than what can be gleaned from photographs or robotic rovers alone.
In the case of the Chang’e 5 lunar samples, scientists will employ a variety of analytical methods, tests, and experiments to determine the composition, structure, and physical properties of the lunar material. This comprehensive understanding will contribute to a deeper comprehension of the moon’s history and, by extension, the broader history of our solar system.
Though we have only begun to explore the surface of these celestial bodies, both in a literal and figurative sense, the knowledge we have gained is already substantial. The journey of discovery is far from over, with a wealth of mysteries still waiting to be unveiled.
8. What do we know about the Chang’e 5 lunar probe?
A. It was launched on Dec 17.
B. It collected the world’s first lunar sample.
C. It brought back 1,713 grams of lunar samples.
D. It completed the most successful mission recently.
9. Which of the following collected the first asteroid samples?
A. Hayabusa. B. Hayabusa 2. C. OSIRIS-REx. D. Russia’s Lunar-25.
10. What can the samples shed light on (阐明)?
A. The origin of life. B. Structure of the solar system.
C. Which celestial bodies have water. D. How water first appeared on the moon.
11. What will scientists do with the samples?

An artificial cognitive system possesses the capability to translate linguistic expressions and syntactical structures from cerebral functional patterns with an impressive degree of precision. By utilizing a brief temporal window of cerebral functional data, the AI can deduce the auditory content that an individual has perceived. The system is capable of positioning the accurate response within its topmost 10 potential outcomes, as determined in a foundational research endeavor.
This AI has been engineered at Meta, the corporate entity that encompasses Facebook, and it holds the potential to ultimately assist a vast number of individuals globally who are incapacitated from engaging in verbal communication, textual input, or gestural conveyance.
The majority of current technological solutions designed to facilitate communication for such individuals necessitate invasive neurosurgical procedures to implant electrodes. However, this innovative methodology “could offer a viable alternative to assist patients grappling with communicative impediments, circumventing the necessity for surgical interventions,” remarks neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a researcher within the Meta AI division.
King and his fellow researchers have conditioned a computational apparatus, also referred to as a linguistic model, to identify words and sentences across 56,000 hours of vocalized records from a spectrum of 53 languages. The research collective then applied an AI equipped with this linguistic model to data repositories from four distinct institutions that encompassed cerebral functional data from 169 consenting volunteers. Within these repositories, participants were exposed to an array of narratives and sentences, while their cerebral activity was monitored via magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Subsequently, employing a computational technique that accounts for the anatomical variances among individual brains, the team endeavored to decipher the auditory content that the participants had apprehended, utilizing merely three seconds of cerebral functional data from each individual. The team directed the AI to correlate the phonetic elements from the narrative recordings with the cerebral functional patterns that the AI had deduced to be indicative of the auditory stimuli that the subjects were receiving. It then prognosticated the auditory content that the individual might have been exposed to during that brief interval, considering over 1,000 potential options. Utilizing MEG, the correct response was consistently included within the AI’s top 10 conjectures, as ascertained by the researchers.
“The current research is focused on the decoding of auditory speech recognition, not its generation,” King concurs, “Although the generation of speech is the ultimate aspiration, at present, we are still considerably distant from achieving this objective.”
12. What is the main advantage of the new technology?
A. Avoiding dangerous operations on patients.
B. Helping patients with communication problems.
C. Providing a path to communicate with others.
D. Freeing patients from risky brain operations.
13. Whom might be the AI be beneficial to?
A. People unable to communicate normally.
B. People who canˈt move around.
C. People who are unconscious.
D. People unable to eat.
14. What does Jean-Rémi King think of the new study?
A. Disappointing. B. Surprising. C. Promising. D. Exciting.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Study on Artificial Intelligence
B. The Application of MEG Technology
C. A New Way to Decode Speech
D. A Solution to Communication Problems

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It sounds like you’re working on a story or a personal anecdote about preparing for a holiday card photo. The situation you’ve described is quite common and relatable, especially during the holiday season when many people try to make everything perfect for their cards. Here’s a possible continuation of your story, filling in some details and bringing it to a conclusion:
The clock was ticking, and the pressure was mounting. My husband, with his calm demeanor and steady hands, took over the situation. He had a knack for these things, and I had to admit, I was out of options.
As I sipped my tea downstairs, I could hear the soft sounds of reassuring words and the gentle snips of the scissors. My older son, always the helpful one, was by his side, ready to assist in any way he could.
When they finally called me upstairs, I was met with a sight that made my heart swell. My younger son’s hair was no longer a disaster; it was now neatly trimmed, and he looked absolutely adorable. My husband had worked his magic, and my older son had managed to keep our little one entertained and calm throughout the process.
The next morning, the photographer arrived, and the whole family was ready. We were all in our new white polo shirts, and my younger son's hair looked better than ever. The photographer captured our smiles and laughter, and for a moment, we were all just happy to be together.
The holiday cards turned out better than I could have imagined. The picture was perfect—not because of the matching shirts or the professional haircut, but because it truly captured our family’s spirit. We sent them out, a little later than I had initially planned, but they were filled with love and the joy of our real, imperfectly perfect family.
In the end, I learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, letting go of the need for perfection and embracing the help of loved ones can lead to the most beautiful results. Our holiday cards were a testament to that, and they were cherished by our friends and family.
Remember, this is just a creative continuation based on the details you’ve provided. If you have a specific direction you’d like the story to go or if you need help with a particular part of the narrative, feel free to let me know!
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

When I saw the three of them were happy with the same buzz cut (寸头) made by my husband, my tears were replaced with smiles and I made a decision.

【答案】 With no mood for tea, I was walking around downstairs restlessly. The truth of the story is that the photographer was due to take a photo this morning, and the children’s hair was so long that my husband had to have them cut upstairs. The real scene of the haircut was messy. My husband had to stop our two sons from fighting while cutting our youngest daughter’s hair and calmed her down as well. Finally, after an hour, the noise upstairs suddenly stopped.
When I saw the three of them were happy with the same buzz cut (寸头) made by my husband, my tears were replaced with smiles and I made a decision. I decided to ask my husband to cut my hair the same way they did for the photo shoot. After all, the family must be neat to show our family spirit. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt real and imperfect happiness. We finally had some perfect family photos on the delightful holiday.
