A mile into her walk, she suddenly spotted a beautiful swan struggling near the water’s edge. Ariel, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Recovery Center in Manhattan knew that swans were likely to view her as a predator and attack her but as she approached this one, it didn’t move. She was certain that the bird needed medical attention, so she covered her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, gently picked it up but then a thought struck her: What should I do next? The nearest Wild Bird Recovery Center was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to carry a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. On the subway, no one seemed to be particularly bothered by the feathered passenger. “One guy,” said Ariel, “was sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he even noticed there was a swan in front of him.” Rojas called the center on the way, and Tristan Higgin, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove bird, bike, and Rojas to the facility. There, staff members determined that the swan might have heavy metal poisoning, caused by taking in weights used on fishing lines. The staff got the swan back up on her feet, She even made friends at the center—another injured swan. Sadly, even with all that loving care, the swan didn’t pick up. Two months after Rojas came to her aid, she passed away. It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city. In all, Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway while dragging her bike. 4. What does the underlined word “predator” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A potential volunteer, B. A likely audience. C. A potential killer. D. A likely helper. 5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. It was easy for Ariel to carry the little swan. B. The swan ran into her way and was hit. C. Rojas sent the swan to the center all by herself. D. The swan was kindly and lovingly treated. 6. Which of the following can best describe Rojas? A. Kind-hearted and imaginative. B. Caring and helpful. C. Strong-minded and energetic. D. Positive and creative. i 7. What may be the best title of the passage? A. A Poor Swan Saved by Love. B. A Volunteer Loving and Saving Birds. C. Loving Honks to Save Swans. D. A Poor Swan Surrounded with Love. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Ariel Rojas营救一只受伤天鹅的故事，虽然经过爱心营救，天鹅不久还是死去，警示人们“为了保护天鹅鸟类，要按响汽车喇叭（不要撞伤它们）”。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and attack her (并攻击她)”以及“but as she approached this one, it didn’t move (但当她靠近这只天鹅时，它没有动)”说明正常情况下天鹅会把她当成可能敌人而攻击她，从而推知“Ariel, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Recovery Center in Manhattan knew that swans were likely to view her as a predator (30岁的Ariel曾在曼哈顿的野生鸟类恢复中心工作，她知道天鹅很可能会把她视为predator)”句中划线单词意思是“可能的敌人”，C项“潜在的杀手”与之最为接近。故选C项。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“How was she going to carry a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. (她怎么能背着一只17磅重的天鹅一路骑自行车呢？幸运的是，一些开车经过的陌生人让她、她的自行车和天鹅搭便车去附近的地铁站。)”等内容可知，天鹅很重，不容易搬运，并且，一路上不是她完全自己把天鹅送去中心的，故排除AC项；根据第一段中“A mile into her walk, she suddenly spotted a beautiful swan struggling near the water’s edge. (走了一英里后，她突然发现一只美丽的天鹅在水边挣扎。)”可知，天鹅不是在路上被她遇到的，排除B项；根据最后一段中“Sadly, even with all that loving care, the swan didn’t pick up. (可悲的是，即使有了这么多的关爱，天鹅也没有恢复正常。)”等内容可知，这只天鹅受到了热情体贴的关怀。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city. In all, Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway while dragging her bike. (这是一个令人失望的结局，但真实的故事是，在这个大城市里，某些人为了拯救天鹅，愿意奔走多远。总共，罗哈斯拖着她的自行车，步行、开车、乘地铁走了两个小时。)”可知，Rojas为了救助天鹅，不辞劳苦，从而推知，她是个有爱心乐意施助的人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.(幸运的是，一些开车经过的陌生人让她、她的自行车和天鹅搭便车去附近的地铁站。)”和最后一段“ It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city. In all, Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway while dragging her bike.(这是一个令人失望的结局，但真正的故事是，在这个大城市里，一些人愿意在多大程度上拯救一只天鹅。总的来说 科多瓦·罗哈斯步行、乘车和地铁，历经两个小时，还拖着她的自行车。)可知，文章讲述了Ariel Rojas在散步时发现了一只需要救助的天鹅。最终在陌生的司机等人不断帮助下，她成功将天鹅送到了康复中心。这个故事展示了人们为拯救野生动物所付出 的努力。C项“挽救天鹅的爱的鸣笛”为最佳标题，充分体现了在Ariel Rojas救助天鹅途中各个陌生司机给予的帮助和Ariel Rojas的爱心。故选C项。 C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the Al on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the Al would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”, The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 8. What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams. C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 9. How did the Al system learn about human brain activity? A. By recording brain scans from participants. B. By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts C. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 10. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Unclear. B. Striking. C. Factual. D. Unusual. 11. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A. To help understand our dreams. B. To improve text-to-image models. C. To create more accurate brain scans. D. To learn how animals view the world. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI如何通过脑部扫描图像重现人类想法及其潜在应用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. (据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“稳定扩散”的人工智能系统，根据人们的大脑扫描重新创建图像。)”可知，Stable Diffusion是根据人的脑电波扫描来重新创建图像的系统。由此可推知，它可以从人们的思维中产生图片。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data - when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. (然后，人工智能通过分析fMRI数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时，更多的血液会流向它。)”可知，AI系统通过分析fMRI数据中血液流动的变化来学习大脑活动。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. (然后，它会启用之前的“文本转图像”模型，并通过输入关键词“飞机”来使图像变得更清晰。根据研究人员的说法，最终的图像是“有说服力的“，准确率约为80%。)”可知，AI可以启用之前的“文本转图像”模型，并通过输入关键词“飞机”来使图像变得更清晰，所以说明AI一开始会使用大脑扫描数据来创建一架非常模糊的飞机的图像。划线单词意为“模糊的，不清楚的”。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. (美国普林斯顿大学的Ariel Goldstein告诉《科学》杂志，这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“解码大脑”的新方法。未来，科学家们希望这项技术能够用于记录想象中的。)”可知，科学家希望这一技术能够用于记录想象中的思想和梦境，或理解动物对现实的感知方式。由此可推知，其潜在用途是学习动物如何看待世界。故选D。 D With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 12. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 13. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 14. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 15. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. (挪威斯塔万格大学的文学教授安妮·曼根表示，与在屏幕上阅读不同，在纸上阅读很平静，而且能吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，纸质书更能让我们静下心来阅读。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. (劳伦·辛格·特拉克曼的一项研究发现，无论是在纸上阅读还是在屏幕上阅读，学生都能理解主要思想，但他们会错过屏幕上的一些小细节。)”可知，屏幕阅读速度快，但不利于深度思考。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. (辛格·特拉克曼说，她用Kindle是为了娱乐，但在严肃的阅读中，她会转向纸质书。)”可知，她习惯用纸质书阅读严肃读物。阅读挑战性的文学读物属于严肃阅读，所以可以推断在读挑战性的文学时，她倾向于用纸质书。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones.( 随着数字化学习的普及，一些学生选择使用电脑和互联网在家学习。他们使用网站和电子书，而不是纸质书。)”及全文可知，文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处，所以B项“Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens(纸质阅读vs.屏幕阅读)”作本文标题最佳。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview. ____16____ In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview. Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence. However, don’t exaggerate (夸张); tell the truth. ____17____ Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them. ____18____ Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond. Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. ___19___ If you believe that this area presents a real barrier to a job offer, you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times, however, an interviewer will ignore these sensitive areas if you have a confident, positive attitude. The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. ____20____ Interviewers have the intelligence to recognize genuine enthusiasm and interest. A. Answer sensitive questions briefly and positively. B. Show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job. C. Some people lose job opportunities because of talking too much. D. If unsure of job requirements, ask questions to see if you're qualified. E. Remember that you have the power to create a favourable impression. F. There are thousands of people entering new careers and searching for jobs. G. Second, listen carefully and get involved in what the interviewer is saying. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些如何面试成功的技巧和建议。 【16题详解】 根据空前“One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview.(找工作最重要的因素之一就是面试)”和空后“In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.(为了在申请你想要的工作时让自己比别人有优势，在面试中给人留下深刻印象是很重要的)”可知，空前是面试的重要性，空后提到面试中想要比别人有优势，留下深刻印象是很重要的，故F项“有几千人步入新的工作，找工作。”能够承接前文。最重要的因素就是面试，每年有几千人在找工作，因此想要在面试中比别人有优势，留下深刻的印象是很重要的。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence.(因为你在面试中说的话很重要，因此要记住这两条规则。其中一个就是以一种有利的方式呈现自己，强调自己优秀的地方)”可知，空前提到有两条规则，且介绍了其中一条，故G项“第二，认真听，投入到面试者所说的话。”能够承接前文，继续介绍前文提到的两条规则中的另一条。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据空后“Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.(如果你需要时间收集第二次面试中更有用的信息，不要害怕要求第二次面试。大多数面试官都会欣赏你的问题以及你的倾听和回应能力)”可知，空后提到要勇敢询问第二次面试所需要的信息，故D项“如果不确定工作要求，提出问题看自己是否符合。”能够引出后文。如果不确定工作要求，直接提出问题，如果需要时间收集第二次面试中有用的信息，直接要求第二次面试即可，故本段主要介绍大胆提出问题。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field.(我们每个人都有敏感区，这可能是你没有学位，长期失业，或者如果你进入了一个新领域，缺乏工作经验)”可知，空前列举了一些敏感区的问题，故此处应提出如何应对，故A项“简单并积极地回答敏感的问题。”能够承接前文，提出在面对自己的敏感区时，应简单并积极地回答这些问题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”.(面试是求职的重要组成部分，因为你表现出的态度和印象会让面试官感到“支持你”或者“反对你。”)”可知，空前提到在面试中，你的态度和印象是面试官决定留下你或者拒绝你的重要因素，故E项“记住，你有力量创造一个好的印象。”能够承接前文。你的态度和印象决定了面试的结果，你有力量创造一个好的印象。故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分．满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I remember playing a lot when I was younger and being filled with a sense of openness, curiosity and joy. ____21____, my attitude began changing from having fun to perfectionism.

What was worse, they failed to control themselves, so the argument turned out to be a fight at last. Angry and sad, Tom went to his grandfather and told him the whole story with tears. “Mike is really a bad boy. I won’t want to see him again,” he threw these wards. “I hate him very much. I promise that if I treated him as my friend again, I would be a dog.” Grandfather clapped him on the head and comforted him in a gentle voice, “Honey, I can feel your sorrow in my heart, but please allow me to tell you a story of mine. When I was a young boy like you, I always hated others, too. But as I grow older, I have realized the fact that hate itself can only make you tired. It doesn’t hurt your enemy but only hurt yourself.” As the boy listened carefully, the grandfather went on, “Dear Tom, can you guess there are always two tigers in my heart? They are quite different. One is good and kind, who always makes me get on well with everything around. But the other is bad and unfriendly, who is full of anger. Even the smallest thing will lead to his anger and bad temper. He tends to fight with everyone without any reason. He has no ability to think carefully, because he always fills himself with hate. It is difficult for me to live with these two tigers inside my heart and they both try to control me.” The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes curiously and asked, “Which tiger on earth always controls you, grandfather? The former or the latter?” The old man answered slowly in a serious voice, “The one that I feed. I always choose to feed the good and kind tiger but try to starve the bad and unfriendly one to death. So as you can see, I never hate others and I have many friends now.” Paragraph 1： After hearing what his grandfather said little Tom was lost in thought. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Suddenly, a good idea occurred to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： After hearing what his grandfather said, little Tom was lost in thought. There were two tigers in his heart, too. One was forcing him to break away from his best friend. However, when thinking of the wonderful time they had spent together, he shook his head heavily. “I won’t let this tiger control me.” At that time, the other tiger came into his eyes, smiling and waving to him. It looked so lovely as if his friend Mike were approaching him and reaching his arms to hug him. Paragraph 2： Suddenly, a good idea occurred to him. Without saying goodbye to his grandfather, Tom rushed to Mike’s home like a flash. To his surprise, on the way, he met Mike, who happened to hurry to him. “Sorry, Tom. I shouldn’t have fought with you. I apologize. Would you like to be friends with me again?” Of course, they forgave each other and became friends again, because both of them knew nothing was more important than their friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个关于小男孩Tom和他的爷爷之间就关于如何处理愤怒和仇恨进行交谈的故事，传达了关于友谊、宽容和成长的积极信息。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听完爷爷的话后，小Tom陷入了沉思。”以及第二段首句内容“突然，他想到了一个好主意。”可知，第一段可描写Tom心中也有了两只老虎，他看到了那只友好的老虎在朝他走来。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，他想到了一个好主意。”可知，第二段可描写Tom决定去找Mike道歉，他想挽回两人的友谊，路上遇到了Mike，二人和好。 2.续写线索：陷入沉思——仿佛看到两只老虎——一只老虎让他和Mike决裂——另一只老虎朝着Tom微笑走近——Tom心中有了决定——向Mike道歉——遇到正匆匆赶来的Mike——彼此道歉并恢复友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①控制：control/take control of ②进入视线：come into one’s eyes/come into sight ③靠近：approach/get close to 情绪类 ①微笑：smile/beam ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】To his surprise, on the way, he met Mike, who happened to hurry to him.

B When Ariel Rojas rode her bike to Bay Wildlife Reserve in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. A mile into her walk, she suddenly spotted a beautiful swan struggling near the water’s edge. Ariel, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Recovery Center in Manhattan knew that swans were likely to view her as a predator and attack her but as she approached this one, it didn’t move. She was certain that the bird needed medical attention, so she covered her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, gently picked it up but then a thought struck her: What should I do next? The nearest Wild Bird Recovery Center was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to carry a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. On the subway, no one seemed to be particularly bothered by the feathered passenger. “One guy,” said Ariel, “was sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he even noticed there was a swan in front of him.” Rojas called the center on the way, and Tristan Higgin, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove bird, bike, and Rojas to the facility. There, staff members determined that the swan might have heavy metal poisoning, caused by taking in weights used on fishing lines. The staff got the swan back up on her feet, She even made friends at the center—another injured swan. Sadly, even with all that loving care, the swan didn’t pick up. Two months after Rojas came to her aid, she passed away. It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city. In all, Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway while dragging her bike. 4. What does the underlined word “predator” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A potential volunteer, B. A likely audience. C. A potential killer. D. A likely helper. 5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. It was easy for Ariel to carry the little swan. B. The swan ran into her way and was hit. C. Rojas sent the swan to the center all by herself. D. The swan was kindly and lovingly treated. 6. Which of the following can best describe Rojas? A. Kind-hearted and imaginative. B. Caring and helpful. C. Strong-minded and energetic. D. Positive and creative. i 7. What may be the best title of the passage? A. A Poor Swan Saved by Love. B. A Volunteer Loving and Saving Birds. C. Loving Honks to Save Swans. D. A Poor Swan Surrounded with Love. C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the Al on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the Al would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”, The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 8. What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams. C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 9. How did the Al system learn about human brain activity? A. By recording brain scans from participants. B. By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts C. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 10. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Unclear. B. Striking. C. Factual. D. Unusual. 11. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A. To help understand our dreams. B. To improve text-to-image models. C To create more accurate brain scans. D. To learn how animals view the world. D With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 12. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 13. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 14. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B.

What was worse, they failed to control themselves, so the argument turned out to be a fight at last. Angry and sad, Tom went to his grandfather and told him the whole story with tears. “Mike is really a bad boy. I won’t want to see him again,” he threw these wards. “I hate him very much. I promise that if I treated him as my friend again, I would be a dog.” Grandfather clapped him on the head and comforted him in a gentle voice, “Honey, I can feel your sorrow in my heart, but please allow me to tell you a story of mine. When I was a young boy like you, I always hated others, too. But as I grow older, I have realized the fact that hate itself can only make you tired. It doesn’t hurt your enemy but only hurt yourself.” As the boy listened carefully, the grandfather went on, “Dear Tom, can you guess there are always two tigers in my heart? They are quite different. One is good and kind, who always makes me get on well with everything around. But the other is bad and unfriendly, who is full of anger. Even the smallest thing will lead to his anger and bad temper. He tends to fight with everyone without any reason. He has no ability to think carefully, because he always fills himself with hate. It is difficult for me to live with these two tigers inside my heart and they both try to control me.” The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes curiously and asked, “Which tiger on earth always controls you, grandfather? The former or the latter?” The old man answered slowly in a serious voice, “The one that I feed. I always choose to feed the good and kind tiger but try to starve the bad and unfriendly one to death. So as you can see, I never hate others and I have many friends now.” Paragraph 1： After hearing what his grandfather said, little Tom was lost in thought. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Suddenly, a good idea occurred to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 BCBCB 6—10 ABABB 11—15 BCCCC 16—20 ABAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
