[2024·广东省惠州市第二次调研考试]The input Dad has on my career is incomparable. My earliest memories are of Dad sitting in the kitchen playing the guitar, listening to his favourite song by his favourite singer, and encouraging his little girl to poke (戳) keys randomly on the piano. Even watching Top of the Pops, he would get so passionate about music in it. We weren't a religious family, but there was something spiritual about Dad's connection with music.
Music also became a source of comfort for me. I failed to do well academically at school and had no friends. Being at school consumed so much of my emotional energy. Instead of going to school to learn stuff, I felt as though I was simply trying to get people to like me. Things were better, but the only time I truly felt happy was when I was at home listening to music with Mum and Dad or writing songs on the piano—and the older I got, the more powerful music felt.
Dad was always my biggest supporter. When I started giving live performances at the local bar, he was the one who drove me there and back. Freeing up that time wasn't easy for an actor. His job might mean three weeks in the Czech Republic or working with George Lucas on The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones in Hollywood.
Dad has been involved with some amazing stuff, but Daddy Pig is the one that's had the biggest impact all over the world. When I was flying to Australia for my first tour, I was trying to find something to watch on the little screen and I noticed they had Peppa Pig. If I'm missing home and family, I always put it on. Daddy Pig is a fairly real version of my dad—he loves chocolate cake, he's funny and usually breaks things when he's trying to mend them. Mum and Dad were friends with one of the producers of the show and I often wonder if he looked at my dad and thought, “That's him...that's Daddy Pig.”
1.What can we learn about the author's father?
A.He was good at writing songs.
B.He was attached to music in his soul.
C.He encouraged her to play the guitar.
D.He was passionate about watching TV series.
2.How did the author's father support her career?
A.By picking her up in a tight schedule.
B.By doing a demanding job as an actor.
C.By watching her musical performances.
D.By giving live performances at the local bar.
3.Why did the author mention Peppa Pig?
A.It's her favourite childhood cartoon.
B.She saw her father through Daddy Pig.
C.She took pride in this world famous cartoon.
D.It's a cartoon about her hometown and motherland.

[2024·山东省泰安市高三一模]How can people speak their mind without saying anything? This is a question that scientists have aimed to answer for a long time. Researchers recently brought an upgraded device that can translate users' brain waves into daily speech.
Previously, the team led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, developed an AIbased system that can identify up to 50 commonly used words based on the participant's brain waves. The participant was a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man who had been implanted with 16 electrodes (电极) under his skull.
According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen.
Their tests showed that the device could decode silently spoken letters from a 1,152word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute. The accuracy was up to 94 percent. “It shows strong promise for restoring communication by tapping into the brain's natural speech machinery,” Chang said to the university's news website.
However, this method can still be problematic since users still need to undergo surgery. Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.
The new technique is called fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像). It's a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the fMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.
Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in braincomputer interfaces (脑机接口) designed for people who cannot speak or type.
5.What do we know about the device mentioned in Para. 2?
A.It was implanted into a man's heart.
B.It can help restore patients' lost memory.
C.It was developed through cooperation.
D.It can identify about 50 rarely used words.
6.How does fMRI “read” people's minds?
A.By tracking their active brain cells.
B.By putting electrodes into their brains.
C.By recording their reaction to radio shows.
D.By matching their brain activity with their habits.
7.Why is fMRI chosen compared to the first device mentioned in the story?
A.It's cheaper. B.It's more accurate.
C.It's smaller in size. D.It's safer.
8.What can be concluded about fMRI from the last two paragraphs?
A.It can only read what participants hear.
B.It can be used in braincomputer interfaces.
C.It can read every detail of participants' minds.
D.It cannot work out what people imagine in their heads.

The accuracy was up to 94 percent. “It shows strong promise for restoring communication by tapping into the brain's natural speech machinery,” Chang said to the university's news website.
However, this method can still be problematic since users still need to undergo surgery. Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.
The new technique is called fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像). It's a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the fMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.
Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in braincomputer interfaces (脑机接口) designed for people who cannot speak or type.
5.What do we know about the device mentioned in Para. 2?
A.It was implanted into a man's heart.
B.It can help restore patients' lost memory.
C.It was developed through cooperation.
D.It can identify about 50 rarely used words.
6.How does fMRI “read” people's minds?
A.By tracking their active brain cells.
B.By putting electrodes into their brains.
C.By recording their reaction to radio shows.
D.By matching their brain activity with their habits.
7.Why is fMRI chosen compared to the first device mentioned in the story?
A.It's cheaper. B.It's more accurate.
C.It's smaller in size. D.It's safer.
8.What can be concluded about fMRI from the last two paragraphs?
A.It can only read what participants hear.
B.It can be used in braincomputer interfaces.
C.It can read every detail of participants' minds.
D.It cannot work out what people imagine in their heads.
