It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: Watching the annual Perseid meteor shower (流星雨). But this time, as the meteors flashed across the sky, I, a junior girl, began to question, “Could my lifelong love for astronomy be more than a hobby?”
I grew up in a small town, where even graduating from high school was not a given for many students. But I was driven to pursue my education, and like my best friend’s dad — a pharmacist (药剂师), one of the few professional role models in my neighborhood, therefore, I chose to major in pharmacy, the science of preparing medicines, at the University of North Carolina.
The university was only a 3.5-hour drive away, but it felt across the universe. In the weeks since I began my pharmacy degree, I had met people with jobs and PhDs in different branches of science I had never considered — neuroscience, archaeology, and even astrophysics. Their passion and knowledge opened my eyes to worlds I had never imagined. As my birthday and the Perseid meteor shower approached, I was faced with a decision: Should I stick to my long-standing plans or take a step into the unknown?
Ultimately, a solar eclipse (日食) helped me make my decision. As the Moon gradually shaded the Sun, the world darkened around me. The stillness of the water, the desperate calls of birds, and the fading sunset deeply moved me. I knew what I had to do. I dropped out of pharmacy school to pursue previously unimagined options.
Facing years of challenges and growth, I worked odd jobs before earning a second degree in physics, starting a PhD in astronomy, and realized that the night sky’s vastness inspired me to overcome doubts and follow my dreams. As I approach the final year of my PhD, I realize that growing up with the night sky gave me a valuable gift. It gave me an insight into life: On the scale of our vast universe, our individual needs, desires, fears, and insecurities shrink to insignificance, bringing humanity together. It liberated me from allowing earthly worries, shame, or self-doubt to stand in the way of pursuing new dreams.

Scientists with the BrainGate research center have developed a breakthrough brain-computer interface (BCI). The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which lead to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, transforming them into text that is read aloud by a computer. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 14, was led by David Brandman and Sergey Stavisky, faculty members at UC Davis Health.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. BCI technology can restore communication for those affected. In this study, Casey Harrell, a 45-year-old man with ALS, regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the system. Harrell described the experience as life-changing, saying, “My past condition was so demoralizing. Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped. Something like this technology will help people get back into life and society.”
The BrainGate clinical trial, led by Dr. Leigh Hochberg from Brown University, has made major progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis (瘫痪) communicate. In July 2023, the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell’s brain, focusing on the left precentral gyrus, a part of the brain that controls speech. The system translates brain activity into phonemes (音素) and words, enabling real-time communication. Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way.
Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use, the system achieved remarkable results, with 99.6% acéuracy for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2% accuracy for a 125,000-word vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours. “This is transformative technology,” Brandman said. “It provides hope for people who want to speak but can’t.” Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis.
8. What do we know about the BrainGate BCI?
A. It is used to treat speech disabilities.
B. It translates brain signals into speech.
C. It helps people with ALS move and speak.
D. It connects brains to make computers smarter.
9. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Discouraging. B. Demanding. C. Comforting. D. Eye-opening.
10. Why was the speech composed in Harrell’s pre-ALS voice?
A. To enable his communication in real time.
B. To make his speech emotionally meaningful.
C. To improve the accuracy of speech translation.
D. To help interpret his brain signals more easily.
11. What is Dr. John Ngai’s attitude towards the BrainGate BCI?
A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Dismissive.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了BrainGate研究中心的科学家们开发的一种突破性的脑机接口(BCI)系统,旨在帮助因渐冻症(ALS)等疾病导致言语障碍的人恢复交流能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which lead to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, transforming them into text that is read aloud by a computer.(该系统旨在为因肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)等疾病导致行动能力和言语能力逐渐丧失的患者恢复交流能力。它利用植入的传感器来解读用户尝试说话时的大脑信号,并将这些信号转换成文本,最后由计算机朗读出来)”可知,BrainGate BCI系统的主要功能是将大脑信号转化为语音,帮助那些因疾病失去言语能力的人恢复交流能力。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped.(无法交流就像被困住了一样)”可知,哈雷尔过去因为无法交流而感到非常沮丧和受挫,由此可知,“demoralizing”意思是“使沮丧的、使失去信心的”,与A项:Discouraging意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way.(哈雷尔的脑机接口使用在他患上ALS之前的语音样本训练的软件,生成了与他自己的声音相似的语音。这使他能够以非常个人化的方式与亲人交流)”可知,用哈雷尔患ALS前的声音来组成语音是为了使他能够以非常个人化的、富有情感意义的方式与亲人交流。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis.(美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)脑研究计划(BRAIN Initiative)主任约翰•奈博士强调,这一里程碑是恢复瘫痪患者交流能力的重要一步)”可知,Dr. John Ngai认为BrainGate BCI是恢复瘫痪患者交流能力的重要一步,这表明他对BrainGate BCI持支持态度。故选A。

It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists. For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique. abilities are being made use of to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species.
Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors (嗅觉受体) compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents (气味) and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do.
Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing (嗅) out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Cannes facility,20specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic.
Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non-native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer.
While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge. their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity.
12. Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To highlight the superiority of dogs’ sense of smell.
B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs’ analysis.
C. To recognize the importance of conservation work.
D. To show dogs’ impressive achievements in fieldwork.
13. How do dogs help protect killer whales?
A. By tracking their movements.
B. By detecting their droppings.
C. By monitoring their populations.
D. By analyzing the collected samples.
14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 4?
A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries.
B. Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife.
C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade.
D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity.
B. To report various environmental challenges.
C. To introduce dogs’ roles in conservation efforts.
D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs’ qualities.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C

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。
When others outperform us should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us? ___16___
A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others. ___17___ Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out.
The findings reflect the cultural narratives (叙述) surrounding achievement in each society. In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability. ___18___ As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.
___19___ In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.
Ultimately, our perceptions and reactions to others’ success are profoundly shaped by cultural narratives surrounding achievement. ___20___ These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.
A. It can be a source of motivation.
B. These cultural differences extend to educational practices.
C. Education facilitates personal growth and social progress.
D. They influence our motivations, relationships and actions.
E. Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content.
F. Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions.
G. However Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts.
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. D

In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out. (中国儿童经常表达对高成就者的尊敬以及模仿他们成功的愿望。相比之下,美国儿童的故事通常集中在负面反应上,包括嫉妒和被排挤的感觉。)”可知,研究的结果显示中美两国的儿童对此产生了明显的不同,由此可知,此处需要一个具体的描述来引出研究的结果,E选项“Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content.(两组儿童都讲述了详细的故事,但在内容上显示出了明显的差异。)”承接上文提到的研究,且阐述了两国儿童存在的差异性,进而引出下文详细解释两国之间存在的明显差异,符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据上文的“In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability.(在美国文化中,“自我”是由那些大多固定不变的品质和能力所定义的。因此,虽然他人的成就反映了他们高水平的能力,但这也成为了一面镜子,映照出自己能力的不足。)”可知,此处阐述了美国文化对“自我”的定义以及因此带来的影响,结合下文的“As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.(因此,中国儿童倾向于将他人的成就视为学习和自我提升的机会,而不是自然优越性的标志。)”可知,此处阐述了中国文化对儿童产生的影响,由此可知,此空讲述的与中国文化标准相关,G选项“However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts.(然而,中国文化强调能力与品质是可以通过努力得到提升的。)”讲述的内容与上文的内容为转折关系,且与空后的内容为因果关系,符合逻辑。故选G项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇可知,此处应为本段的主题句,结合下文“In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.(在中国,学生的整体表现可能会被公开认可,以鼓励成功并激励进一步的改进。教师甚至会邀请杰出的毕业生与当前的学生分享他们的经验和教训,以促进学习。而在美国,这样的现象较为少见,因为它们可能被视为对自尊心的威胁。)”可知,在中国表现好的孩子会被公开认可,教师会让其分享他们的经验和教训,而在美国,这被视为对自尊心的威胁,由此可知,此处讲述的是这种文化差异在教育领域的不同,B选项“These cultural differences extend to educational practices.(这些文化差异延伸到了教育实践。)”讲述的内容与教育相关,概括了本段的主题,为接下来的具体例子提供了合理的过渡。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文的“These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.(换句话说,这些叙述决定了我们是感到受到威胁还是得到激励,是感到恐惧还是尊敬,是感到恼怒还是渴望模仿他人。)”可知,此处是对该空内容换一种说法的表述,由此可推断,此空应是对这些叙述对我们产生的影响的另外一种表述方式,D选项“They influence our motivations, relationships and actions.(它们影响着我们的动机、人际关系和行为。)”中的they指代的是上文的cultural narratives surrounding achievement,且讲述的内容与下文的内容吻合,符合语境。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,介绍了雨伞的起源,讲述了中国古代雨伞的发明过程,以及在其他古代文明中类似遮阳工具的出现,还说明了“umbrella”这个词的词源,以及雨伞随着防水技术发展而在全球普及的情况。
【36题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:最初用作遮阳伞,这些早期的雨伞是由丝绸或纸等材料制成的,并涂有蜡和漆以防水。谓语动词fashion与主语umbrellas之间是被动关系,要使用被动语态,因句子表示的是过去发生的动作,谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为名词复数。故填were fashioned。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空白处在句子中作状语,表示目的,所以使用动词不定式,表示涂蜡和漆的目的是防水。故填to offer。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:受人们在屋檐下避雨这一景象的启发,云夫人创造了一种由竹子和织物制成的折叠装置。空白处后面的名词sight被后面的介词短语修饰表示特指,使用定冠词。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:鲁班后来改进了这个设计,使它比以前更实用,可以防雨和防晒,为现代雨伞铺平了道路——这是早期中国人智慧和创造力的证明。根据上文“LuBan later improved this design(鲁班后来改进了这个设计)”可知,上文提到了鲁班后来改进了这个设计,可推理出此处要把鲁班改进设计前后雨伞的功能进行比较,空白处应填入形容词比较级。故填more practical。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。“pave the way for... ”为固定短语,含义为“为……铺平道路”,符合句意。故填for。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。空白处在句子中作介词of的宾语,使用名词,creative的名词为creativity意为“创造力”。故填creativity。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然中国在雨伞的发展方面可能是先驱,但类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中,如埃及、亚述和希腊,主要是用于防晒。根据下文“similar devices appeared in other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Assyria, and Greece(类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中,如埃及、亚述和希腊)”可知,下文提到了类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中,如埃及、亚述和希腊,可推理出空白处引导让步状语从句,因让步状语从句为倒装结构,可推理出本句使用了“表语/状语/动词原形 + as + 从句”结构。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。空白处在句子中作状语修饰整个句子,使用副词,primary的副词为primarily意为“最初”符合句意。故填primarily。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:“umbrella”这个词本身就来源于拉丁语“umbra”,意思是“阴影”。空白处在句子中作主语The word “umbrella”的同位语,表示“umbrella”这个词本身,所以空白处填反身代词。故填itself。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着时间的推移,随着防水技术的进步,雨伞从简单的遮阳伞变成了防雨的必备工具,在全球范围内得到了广泛的普及。此处为非谓语动词作状语,gain与逻辑主语之间为主动意义,表示一个自然而然的结果,使用现在分词作状语。故填gaining。

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。
A Game of Growth
The gym was alive with the sounds of squeaking (嘎吱作响) shoes, bouncing basketballs, and teammates shouting plays. It was game day, and I should have been focused, but my mind was elsewhere. My thoughts dragged me down, and I couldn’t shake the heaviness I felt.
Every time I passed the ball, Ryan, one of our best players, would make some snide (挖苦的) remarks: “Can’t you aim better, Eliot?” or “Guess we know who won’t be taking the game-winning shot today.” His words cut deep, feeding my doubts. I wanted to fire back, but the energy wasn’t there.
Coach Rivera noticed something was off. “Eliot, can I talk to you for a second?” he said after practice. His voice was calm but firm, the way it always was when he saw something wrong. I sighed, knowing I couldn’t avoid the conversation. “Yeah, Coach?” He studied me for a moment, his eyes serious. “You’re not yourself lately. I’ve also noticed there’s tension between you and Ryan. What’s going on?”
I hesitated, then said, “Nothing, I’m fine.”
Coach didn’t buy it. “I’ve been around long enough to know when something’s weighing on a player. You’ re not just dealing with basketball issues, are you?”
I finally admitted, my throat tight and my eyes starting to water, “I have some family problems…my parents had an accident, and I’ve had to take care of them.”
Coach nodded, understanding. “That’s a lot to handle. But Ryan... he’s a tough guy, and you two are teammates, and the team only works if you’ re united. Let’s talk things through.”
The next day. Coach pulled Ryan and me aside. The conversation was awkward at first. Ryan explained that he felt I wasn’t pulling my weight in the games. I told him about my situation though I didn’t go into details.
Ryan’s expression softened. “I didn’t know you were dealing with so much. I’m sorry for pushing you too hard,” he said. “I could’ve handled it better,” I admitted.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With Coach’s help, Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the championship game, Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With Coach’s help, Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other. We found a rhythm on the court that we hadn’t had before. Ryan made an effort to understand my situation off the court and offered his support. Our teamwork improved, and so did our performance. The atmosphere in the gym became more positive, filled with encouragement. It was about overcoming challenges together. Coach reminded us that growth often comes from facing adversity, and through this, we learned lessons beyond the sport.
In the championship game, Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot. Time seemed to slow as I took the shot. It wasn’t just about scoring; it symbolized all we’d been through. The crowd cheered as the ball went in. This victory felt sweeter because it showed our growth and the strength gained off the court. Ryan’s trust during that moment proved we had turned a corner. We didn’t just win a game; we strengthened our bond as teammates and friends.
【解析】
【导语】本文是以作者在篮球队中面临的个人与团队挑战为线索,主要讲述的是作者因家庭变故而心事重重,影响了他在篮球场上的表现和与队友Ryan之间的关系。面对Ryan的冷嘲热讽,作者感到无力反击,内心充满自我怀疑。教练Rivera发现了作者的变化以及他与Ryan之间的紧张关系后,决定介入帮助解决问题。通过一次坦诚的对话,作者分享了自己家庭的困难,Ryan也因此了解到了作者所承受的压力,并向他道歉的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在教练的帮助下,Ryan和我开始合作,而不是互相对抗。”可知,第一段可描写作者与Ryan的合作给球队带来的积极影响以及对这件事情的感悟。
②由第二段首句内容“在冠军赛中,Ryan把球传给了我,投进了致胜一球。”可知,第二段可描写作者投入的这致胜一球的意义,尽可能与本文的标题“成长的比赛”吻合,即通过参与比赛实现个人的成长。
2.续写线索:开始合作——表现提升——成长的感悟——致胜一投——象征意义——增进友谊
3.词汇激活
行为类
①投球:took the shot/released the ball/ launched the shot
②欢呼:cheered/ applauded/ erupted
③获得:gain/obtain/get

It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: Watching the annual Perseid meteor shower (流星雨). But this time, as the meteors flashed across the sky, I, a junior girl, began to question, “Could my lifelong love for astronomy be more than a hobby?”
I grew up in a small town, where even graduating from high school was not a given for many students. But I was driven to pursue my education, and like my best friend’s dad — a pharmacist (药剂师), one of the few professional role models in my neighborhood, therefore, I chose to major in pharmacy, the science of preparing medicines, at the University of North Carolina.
The university was only a 3.5-hour drive away, but it felt across the universe. In the weeks since I began my pharmacy degree, I had met people with jobs and PhDs in different branches of science I had never considered — neuroscience, archaeology, and even astrophysics. Their passion and knowledge opened my eyes to worlds I had never imagined. As my birthday and the Perseid meteor shower approached, I was faced with a decision: Should I stick to my long-standing plans or take a step into the unknown?
Ultimately, a solar eclipse (日食) helped me make my decision. As the Moon gradually shaded the Sun, the world darkened around me. The stillness of the water, the desperate calls of birds, and the fading sunset deeply moved me. I knew what I had to do. I dropped out of pharmacy school to pursue previously unimagined options.
Facing years of challenges and growth, I worked odd jobs before earning a second degree in physics, starting a PhD in astronomy, and realized that the night sky’s vastness inspired me to overcome doubts and follow my dreams. As I approach the final year of my PhD, I realize that growing up with the night sky gave me a valuable gift. It gave me an insight into life: On the scale of our vast universe, our individual needs, desires, fears, and insecurities shrink to insignificance, bringing humanity together. It liberated me from allowing earthly worries, shame, or self-doubt to stand in the way of pursuing new dreams.
4. What motivated the author to major in pharmacy?

Scientists with the BrainGate research center have developed a breakthrough brain-computer interface (BCI). The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which lead to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, transforming them into text that is read aloud by a computer. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 14, was led by David Brandman and Sergey Stavisky, faculty members at UC Davis Health.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. BCI technology can restore communication for those affected. In this study, Casey Harrell, a 45-year-old man with ALS, regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the system. Harrell described the experience as life-changing, saying, “My past condition was so demoralizing. Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped. Something like this technology will help people get back into life and society.”
The BrainGate clinical trial, led by Dr. Leigh Hochberg from Brown University, has made major progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis (瘫痪) communicate. In July 2023, the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell’s brain, focusing on the left precentral gyrus, a part of the brain that controls speech. The system translates brain activity into phonemes (音素) and words, enabling real-time communication. Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way.
Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use, the system achieved remarkable results, with 99.6% acéuracy for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2% accuracy for a 125,000-word vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours. “This is transformative technology,” Brandman said. “It provides hope for people who want to speak but can’t.” Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis.
8. What do we know about the BrainGate BCI?
A It is used to treat speech disabilities.
B. It translates brain signals into speech.
C. It helps people with ALS move and speak.
D. It connects brains to make computers smarter.
9. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Discouraging. B. Demanding. C. Comforting. D. Eye-opening.
10. Why was the speech composed in Harrell’s pre-ALS voice?
A. To enable his communication in real time.
B. To make his speech emotionally meaningful.
C. To improve the accuracy of speech translation.
D. To help interpret his brain signals more easily.
11. What is Dr. John Ngai’s attitude towards the BrainGate BCI?
A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Dismissive.
D
It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists. For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique. abilities are being made use of to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species.
Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors (嗅觉受体) compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents (气味) and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do.
Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing (嗅) out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Cannes facility,20specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic.
Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non-native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer.
While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge. their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity.
12. Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To highlight the superiority of dogs’ sense of smell.
B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs’ analysis.
C. To recognize the importance of conservation work.
D. To show dogs’ impressive achievements in fieldwork.
13 How do dogs help protect killer whales?
A By tracking their movements.
B. By detecting their droppings.
C. By monitoring their populations.
D. By analyzing the collected samples.
14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 4?
A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries.
B. Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife.
C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade.
D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity.
B. To report various environmental challenges.
C. To introduce dogs’ roles in conservation efforts.
D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs’ qualities.

When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us? ___16___
A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others. ___17___ Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out.
The findings reflect the cultural narratives (叙述) surrounding achievement in each society. In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability. ___18___ As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.
___19___ In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.
Ultimately, our perceptions and reactions to others’ success are profoundly shaped by cultural narratives surrounding achievement. ___20___ These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.
A. It can be a source of motivation.
B. These cultural differences extend to educational practices.

A Game of Growth
The gym was alive with the sounds of squeaking (嘎吱作响) shoes, bouncing basketballs, and teammates shouting plays. It was game day, and I should have been focused, but my mind was elsewhere. My thoughts dragged me down, and I couldn’t shake the heaviness I felt.
Every time I passed the ball, Ryan, one of our best players, would make some snide (挖苦的) remarks: “Can’t you aim better, Eliot?” or “Guess we know who won’t be taking the game-winning shot today.” His words cut deep, feeding my doubts. I wanted to fire back, but the energy wasn’t there.
Coach Rivera noticed something was off. “Eliot, can I talk to you for a second?” he said after practice. His voice was calm but firm, the way it always was when he saw something wrong. I sighed, knowing I couldn’t avoid the conversation. “Yeah, Coach?” He studied me for a moment, his eyes serious. “You’re not yourself lately. I’ve also noticed there’s tension between you and Ryan. What’s going on?”
I hesitated, then said, “Nothing, I’m fine.”
Coach didn’t buy it. “I’ve been around long enough to know when something’s weighing on a player. You’ re not just dealing with basketball issues, are you?”
I finally admitted, my throat tight and my eyes starting to water, “I have some family problems…my parents had an accident, and I’ve had to take care of them.”
Coach nodded, understanding. “That’s a lot to handle. But Ryan... he’s a tough guy, and you two are teammates, and the team only works if you’ re united. Let’s talk things through.”
The next day. Coach pulled Ryan and me aside. The conversation was awkward at first. Ryan explained that he felt I wasn’t pulling my weight in the games. I told him about my situation though I didn’t go into details.
Ryan’s expression softened. “I didn’t know you were dealing with so much. I’m sorry for pushing you too hard,” he said. “I could’ve handled it better,” I admitted.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With Coach’s help, Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the championship game, Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot.
