Scientists have created a new tool that can know what you mean. It works by using an Artificia
Intelligence (AD) program to translate brain activity into words, Scientists say the program could help
people who can't speak because of a brain injury.
To record brain activity without surgery (外科手术). scientists used an fMRI machine, which can
record the activity of the brain as it happens. To translate these recordings into words, scientists used an
AI tool called GPT-l that predicts which word is most likely to come next, based on the information that
came before. Scientists first trained GPT-l on lots of stories people had told about their lives. Next, they
trained GPT-l to make connections between brain scans and spoken words. The testing was done on three
human volunteers. Each person spent sixteen hours in an fMRI machine listening to stories. The machin
created pieturas showing which parts of their brain were active. GPT-1 then used these recordings to make
connections between the ideas in the stories and the brain activity of the listencrs
Then came the test. The scientists played a brand new story, GPT-1 was only given recordings of the
第3
中英语试卷
people's brain activity. But the words that GPT-I predicted were very similar to the words in the story
that the people were listening to. The words weren't exactly the same, but they often carried the same
meaning
For example, when a person was listening to a story about a person who didn't have a driver's license.
the program came up with this, "She has not even started to learn to drive yet."
The scientists say that GPT-1 is the first AI program to turn what people are thinking into words
without brain surgery. The system isn't something that is available outside the lab today, mainly because
of the size and cost of fMRI machines. But in the future, a similar method could help people who have
lost the ability to speak because of an injury or disease.
28. Why were the volunteers asked to listen to stories for 16 hours?
. A. fo produce brain activity.
B. To awaken their curiosity
C. To predict the new stories.
D. To remember the words.
29. Which of the following best describes the test resulr?
C. Discouraging
A. Unexpected. B. Successful.
D. Complex.
30. What can be learned about this AI program?
'A. It'll be put on the market soon
B. It hasn't been put to use.
C. It eases users' financial worry.
D. It'll make patients leam to talk
31. Whaf's the best title for the text?
A. The fMRI Machine Is Used for Brain Surgery
B. We Don't Have to Worry About Brain Injury
C. GPT-1 Lets Humans Speak from Their Heart
D. Scientists Train AI to Read Human Thought

Plants can often tell when they're in danger -by smell But not all leaves sniff (唤) out threats
equally well. In eorn plants, baby leaves do this best, new data show.
"They recognize that danger is around the comer," says Lei Wang. He's a plant biologist at the
University of Bern in Switzerland. He and his colleagues shared the new findings in Carrent Biology
Many plants are known to beef up their chemical defenses when they' re about to get bitten by
insects. One way plants sense such threats is through smell. They can detect smell molecules (分子)
floating through the air. Those molecules may spread from an insect's saliva (睡液). Or they may come
from neighboring plants that have already been attacked and are on death's door
Originally, Wang and his team set out to identify airborne chemicals that plants receive as waming

scents (味). But when they started their study, they found that the adult com leaves they tested did not
produce many anti-predator chemicals in response to the smells
So the researchers turned to baby leaves. These are much more fragile (e弱) than the adult leaves
that scientists usually study. In the lab, the team exposed young and adult com leaves to a common danger-
signaling scent. This green-leaf compound is similar to the smellof freshly cut grass. A corn plant might
encounter this scent if a nearhy plant was in danger. The researchers measured how much danger signal
each leaf released in response to the warning smell
New leaves were more sensitive than adult leaves. Even though the adult leaves were worse at
“smelling", however, they did release small amounts of defense chemicals. Other research shows that
these leaves can process danger signals other than seent (such as insects munching on them). They can
respond to these attacks, too, by issuing chemicals aimed at tackling the threat.
Wang hopes his research may lead to the breeding (培育) of smarter crops 一 ones more resistant to
insects. In the long run, that should reduce a need for harmful pesticides
32. What do the underlined words "beef up" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Cease.
B. Balance.
C. Strengthen.
D. Overcome.
33. What can be leamed from the text?
A. Plants defend themselves in various ways
B. Plants sense danger from insect saliva
C. Freshly cut grass was used in the research
D. Adult corn leaves can't produce defense chemicals.
34. What does Wang hope to achieve with his research?
A To reduce the use of poisonous pesticides
B. To improve the taste of crops.
C. To breed more profitable plants.
D. To create safer pesticides.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Developing Smarter Crops
B. New Study Revealing the Secret of Plants
C. Plants Recognizing Danger in Different Ways
D. Young Corn Leaves Smelling Danger Better

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habi
meant stepping on a few toes. However, I've beoome a happier person as a result. Here are some tipsI
used to stop being a people pleaser
Identify your priorities (优先事项). Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how
to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please? 56
Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say "no". One reason why people pleasers say "yes"to everything is that they fear disappointing
others. 37 If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control
how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It willfeel liberating
to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.
Saying "no" is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. Al
healthy rerauonships have their own boundaries. If you haven't set boundaries in your relationships, the
odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you doart want to do.
Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. 3Check ou
our summary of Brene Brown's the Gjfts of Imperfection to learm how to accept yokr imperfections and
love yourself.
Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone
who is unhappy with your choices. _40
A. Set healthy boundaries.
B. Keep healthy relationshins
C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy?
D Spend some time leaming to love yourself for who you are
E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn't possible
F. But saying "no" is the best way to take care of your own needs
G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have
