(今年夏令营以“生态探索者”为主题，营员们将通过活动更深入地理解保护自然环境的重要性)”可知，ITO今年夏令营的主要目标是通过自然探索激发青少年的思维。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Themes and Activities部分Hike Through the Galaxy的“In the third week, campers will grasp some knowledge about the stars through space-themed games and crafts. (第三周，营员们将通过太空主题游戏和手工活动学习关于星星的知识)”可知，“穿越银河的徒步”的主题聚焦太空和星星，天文爱好者会对此最感兴趣。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文首句“Looking for a fun and educational way to keep your child engaged this summer? (正在寻找一种有趣又有教育意义的方式来丰富孩子的暑期生活吗)”可知，使用第二人称的“your child”直接指向家长群体，文章是面向家长发布的广告。故选A项。 B “Last day, team,” Sukie, the director, informed her troops — it was 9:30 on the final morning of the Barchester Literary Festival — “and Abi, darling, could you help collect I. B. Littlejohn, the famous novelist, from the station?” Abi managed to free her trusty Beetle from the festival carpark and headed for Barchester station. Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone. After half an hour spent yawning on the platform, Abi. who had averaged five hours’ sleep a night for the past week, drove back to the Green Room, only to find that the bottled water had run out, and that there were no sandwiches. Curiously enough, how did Abi, a middle-aged woman with an English and Creative Writing degree from Leicester University, end up in the festival management? A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises. But the day wasn’t over yet. The delivery from the bookstore chain was nowhere to be seen and Sukie was absolutely angry. She assigned to Abi the unenviable task of explaining to Littlejohn, now being interviewed in the “media room”, why there were no books available for him to sign. It was a tough job. Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book, Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards. In eight hours, it would all be over. The Green Room would be shut up; the volunteers would be dismissed home and Abi would drive off to her parents’ house and await the reward and maybe, just maybe, Sukie would keep her promise of a similar engagement next month. For now, though, Abi had to keep herself cool and make sure the festival ended on a high note. 4. What was the first problem Abi faced? A. Her car broke down in the carpark. B. No water and sandwiches were available. C. She only slept for five hours last night. D. The novelist didn’t turn up at the station. 5. What benefited Abi in managing the literary festival? A. Her deep love of literature. B. Her previous working experience. C. Her professional appearance. D. Her English and Creative Writing degree. 6. What was the consequence of the late arrival of the bookstore delivery? A. Sukie was barely annoyed all her learn. B. Littlejohn’s interview was to be delayed. C. Abi was probably dismissed from her post. D. Audience didn’t get signed books at the meeting. 7. Which of the following best describes the Barchester Literary Festival? A. Cool and successful. B. Organized but upsetting. C. Chaotic and eventful. D. Demanding but rewarding. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了节庆活动管理人Abi在举办文学节的时候遭遇了各种情况，但最终都一一解决的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone.(遗憾的是，火车站里没有Littlejohn的踪迹，他决定去开车参加活动，但忘记告诉了任何人。)”可知，Abi遇到的第一个问题就是没有在火车站接到Littlejohn。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises.(对于这份工作来说，热爱文学可能是最糟糕的资格了，但Abi之前曾在消费者公关部门（公共关系）工作，负责安排店内展示，她完全有能力处理这类危机。)”可知，Abi之前的工作经历有助于她处理文学节的工作。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book,  Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards.(最后，Littlejohn先生同意向他的观众致意，保证他们会在之后得到他签名的书《开往布莱克利的末班车》，书会直接寄回家中。)”可推断出，由于书店运输延误，观众们没有办法在见面会现场得到签名书。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。本文讲述了节庆活动管理人Abi在文学节上遇到了各种问题，比如没有接到签售专家、签售书籍延迟送达，可以看出此次节日充满了各种问题和事故，C项“Chaotic and eventful.(混乱的和事故多发的。)”最符合对本次节日的描述。故选C项。 C Shannon Baker, a landscape architect at Waterfront Toronto, pauses to point out a red-tailed hawk (鹰) flying over the restored Don River valley — a sight unimaginable eight years ago when this site was a deadly industrial zone. The hawk’s presence symbolizes the success of Canada’s most ambitious urban ecological project: transforming 300 hectares of abandoned factories and oil tanks into a lively ecosystem. In the 1880s, the Don River was rerouted into the Keating Channel to create land for a new port. For over a century since then, it regularly flooded surrounding areas. Engineers solved this by carving a 1.3-kilometre riverbed reconnecting the waterway to Lake Ontario. The scale of effort to make the new river extension has been enormous: four-plus years of construction; roads lifted or moved and multiple bridges built; 1.4 million cubic metres of polluted soil treated and reused or replaced. Most remarkably, bioengineered “instant forests” were created using interlocking root systems and layered soils to create mature ecosystems. “For me, the project is about reconnection,” says Baker. “We’re reconnecting the river to the lake, and in this process, reconnecting people.” Perhaps the deepest reconnections are with local Indigenous communities, who settled in the area centuries before the city’s creation. Waterfront Toronto engaged the MinoKamik Collective, an elder-led native environmental consultancy, to help design the planting strategy. “We put in wetland plants to help stabilize the riverbank and draw in animals,” says Shelley Charles, leader of the native elders. “When we met on the land at the start of the project, there was nothing there. It was like an artist’s canvas (画布). Now when you stand in the same place today, you’re able to walk along the river. It’s unbelievable.” Baker agrees and points out that people visiting the site today for the first time might not appreciate what’s been done. “Because when you look at the river as well as the wetland now, it looks like it’s always been there.” 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By showing data. B. By making a comparison. C. By giving an appeal. D. By raising an assumption. 9. What is the primary purpose of the new river extension? A. To prevent flooding. B. To attract wildlife. C. To create a new port. D. To build new roads. 10. What is Charles’s attitude towards the project? A Proud. B. Concerned. C. Unbelieving. D. Indifferent. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Waterfront: A History Of Toronto B. Keating Channel: A Nature Restoration Project C. The River Extension: From Wasteland To Wetland D. MinoKamik Collective: Between Indigenous And Natives 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大Don River谷地生态修复工程，工程师们通过扩建河道解决洪水问题，并将工业废土转化为湿地生态系统。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Shannon Baker, a landscape architect at Waterfront Toronto, pauses to point out a red-tailed hawk (鹰) flying over the restored Don River valley — a sight unimaginable eight years ago when this site was a deadly industrial zone. The hawk’s presence symbolizes the success of Canada’s most ambitious urban ecological project: transforming 300 hectares of abandoned factories and oil tanks into a lively ecosystem. (多伦多滨水区景观设计师Shannon Baker停下脚步，指向一只正在修复后的Don River谷地上空翱翔的红尾鹰——这样的景象在八年前这里还是危险工业区时简直难以想象。这只鹰的出现象征着加拿大最宏大的城市生态项目的成功：将300公顷废弃工厂和储油罐区改造成生机勃勃的生态系统)”可知，作者通过对比过去工业区与现在生态恢复区的景象，引入话题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For over a century since then, it regularly flooded surrounding areas. Engineers solved this by carving a 1.3-kilometre riverbed reconnecting the waterway to Lake Ontario. (此后一个多世纪里，它经常淹没周边地区。工程师们通过开凿1.3公里长的河床重新连接安大略湖，解决了这一问题)”可知，新河道扩建的主要目的是防止洪水。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中Charles所说的话“When we met on the land at the start of the project, there was nothing there. It was like an artist’s canvas (画布). Now when you stand in the same place today, you’re able to walk along the river. It’s unbelievable. (当项目刚开始时，我们站在这片土地上，这里空无一物，就像艺术家的空白画布。而今天站在同一个地方，你已能沿着河岸漫步。这变化简直令人难以置信)”可知，Charles认为这片土地发生了巨大的变化，是令人难以置信的，语气充满成就感和自豪。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The hawk’s presence symbolizes the success of Canada’s most ambitious urban ecological project: transforming 300 hectares of abandoned factories and oil tanks into a lively ecosystem. (这只鹰的出现象征着加拿大最宏大的城市生态项目的成功：将300公顷废弃工厂和储油罐区改造成生机勃勃的生态系统)”可知，文章围绕加拿大Don River谷地生态修复工程展开，工程师们通过扩建河道解决洪水问题，并将工业废土转化为湿地生态系统。因此，C项“河道扩建：从荒芜之地到湿地”涵盖河道工程这一核心事件与生态修复的结果，最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D A few years ago, Casey Harrell was diagnosed with ALS, a brain disease that left him paralyzed (瘫痪) and unable to speak. But thanks to a groundbreaking brain implant, Harrell now “speaks” through an electronic voice device. This AI-powered brain implant is a milestone for neurotechnology (神经技术). Now, scientists from University of California have developed a streaming approach to restore speech for those with severe paralysis. This new technology addresses the issue of latency — delays between a person’s attempt to speak and sound production — by using AI to almost instantly transform brain signals into speech, marking a significant breakthrough in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, marks a critical step toward enabling communication for speaking impaired individuals. “Our streaming approach makes it possible for the brain implant to obtain the rapid speech decoding capacity,” says Gopala, Assistant Professor at University of California, Berkeley. The technology uses an algorithm (算法) similar to smart voice assistant to decode neural data and enable real-time voice streaming. To train their algorithm, researchers had a subject, Ann who couldn’t speak, look at tips on the screen — like “Hey, how are you?” — and then silently attempt to speak that sentence. This provided a mapping between neural activity and intended speech. AI used a pretrained text-to-speech model to reproduce her pre-injury voice. With the new streaming approach, output can be generated in near real time as the subject attempts to speak, compared to an 8-second delay for a single sentence in the previous BCI studies. This greater speed did not come at the cost of precision. The faster interface delivered the same high level of accuracy as their previous, non-streaming approach. The device can continuously decode speech, allowing for uninterrupted conversation. This latest work lays the groundwork for future advances. The focus remains on building expressivity into output voice to reflect changes in tone or loudness during speech, for example, when someone is excited. 12. What breakthrough did the new technology make in BCI? A. The transformation of brain signals. B. The speed of speech generation. C. The reduction on the cost of devices. D. The integration of brain and computer. 13. What does the underlined word “impaired” mean in the third paragraph? A. Damaged. B. Improved. C. Untrained. D. Repaired. 14. What can we learn about Ann? A. She was unable to speak at birth. B. She could be heard with the help of AI. C. She provided a map for neural activity. D. She was required to read out tips on the screen. 15. What future improvement will the research team focus on? A. The speed of decoding. B. The level of accuracy. C. The fluency of conversation. D. The expression of emotion. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项突破性脑机接口BCI技术，利用AI近乎实时地将大脑信号转化为语音，显著缩短了延迟时间，并帮助语言障碍者恢复沟通能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This new technology addresses the issue of latency — delays between a person’s attempt to speak and sound production — by using AI to almost instantly transform brain signals into speech, marking a significant breakthrough in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). (这项新技术解决了延迟问题，即一个人试图说话和声音产生之间的延迟，利用AI几乎瞬间将大脑信号转化为语音)”可知，这项新技术的突破在于语音生成的速度。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, marks a critical step toward enabling communication for speaking impaired individuals. (这项发表在《自然神经科学》上的研究标志着为言语impaired个体实现沟通迈出了关键的一步)”可知，需要帮助恢复交流能力的人应该是语言受损的个体，画线词意为“受损的”。A. Damaged受损的；B. Improved改良的；C. Untrained未受训练的；D. Repaired修复的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This provided a mapping between neural activity and intended speech. AI used a pretrained text-to-speech model to reproduce her pre-injury voice. (这为神经活动与语言意图之间建立了映射关系。AI系统通过预训练的文本转语音模型，复现了她受伤前的原有声音)”可知，在人工智能的帮助下，Ann的声音可以被可以听到。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This latest work lays the groundwork for future advances. The focus remains on building expressivity into output voice to reflect changes in tone or loudness during speech, for example, when someone is excited. (这项最新研究为未来的技术突破奠定了基础。研究重点仍在于为输出语音增加表现力，以反映说话时的语调或音量变化，例如当某人兴奋时)”可知，研究团队未来将专注于情感表达的改进。故选D项。 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。 Empowering Teens For Success: A Guide To Future Planning As high school students, you’re standing at the crossroads of adolescence and adulthood in today’s rapidly changing world. ___16___ This guide aims to empower you with the tools to navigate this critical time effectively.

Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing. After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以高中生威尔森的机器人技术创新为线索展开，讲述了他在成功制作机器人手臂后，目睹家乡湖泊污染，从而与同学皮特合作改造设备用于环保清洁的故事，实现了从课堂实验到实际应用的转变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，威尔森告诉了皮特他的想法。”可知，第一段可描写两人如何调整机械手臂以适应实际需要的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，他们在湖边测试新设计。”可知，第二段可描写测试场景及公众反应。 2.续写线索： 课堂项目——老师提出疑问——激发思考——目睹现实——改进技术——公开测试——社会影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：grasp/understand ②帮助：help/assist ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①兴奋：with excitement/in high spirits ②欢呼：cheer/applause 【点睛】[高分句型1] They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake.（运用了由where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water.（运用了由as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 汕头市2024~2025学年度普通高中教学质量监测 高二英语 本试卷共8页，满分120分。考试用时120分。 注意事项：1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需要改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。答案不能答在试卷上。试题序号从“21”开始。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4. 考生必须保证答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Registration Now Open For Annual Summer Day Camp Looking for a fun and educational way to keep your child engaged this summer? Look no further than the Summer Day Camp held by Inside The Outdoors (ITO), where campers will learn about various aspects of nature through games and hands-on activities. Camp Schedule From July 4 to August 1, ITO will host four weekly summer camps at the Shipley Nature Center, each with their own theme for campers aged 6 to 12. Leadership opportunities will be available for campers aged 13 to 17.

Registration Information Registration is available online. For inquiries, email insidetheoutdoors@ocde.us. 1. What is the main goal of ITO’s Summer Day Camp this year? A. To teach children advanced camping skills. B. To prepare teenagers for future leadership roles. C. To inspire young minds through nature exploration. D. To provide a place for kids to play science-based games. 2. Which theme may interest astronomy lovers most? A. Naturalist Academy. B. Crittertopia. C Hike Through the Galaxy. D. Adventures in the Wild. 3. Who are the intended readers of this passage? A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Naturalists. D. Children. B “Last day, team,” Sukie, the director, informed her troops — it was 9:30 on the final morning of the Barchester Literary Festival — “and Abi, darling, could you help collect I. B. Littlejohn, the famous novelist, from the station?” Abi managed to free her trusty Beetle from the festival carpark and headed for Barchester station. Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone. After half an hour spent yawning on the platform, Abi. who had averaged five hours’ sleep a night for the past week, drove back to the Green Room, only to find that the bottled water had run out, and that there were no sandwiches. Curiously enough, how did Abi, a middle-aged woman with an English and Creative Writing degree from Leicester University, end up in the festival management? A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises. But the day wasn’t over yet. The delivery from the bookstore chain was nowhere to be seen and Sukie was absolutely angry. She assigned to Abi the unenviable task of explaining to Littlejohn, now being interviewed in the “media room”, why there were no books available for him to sign. It was a tough job. Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book, Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards. In eight hours, it would all be over. The Green Room would be shut up; the volunteers would be dismissed home and Abi would drive off to her parents’ house and await the reward and maybe, just maybe, Sukie would keep her promise of a similar engagement next month. For now, though, Abi had to keep herself cool and make sure the festival ended on a high note. 4. What was the first problem Abi faced? A. Her car broke down in the carpark. B. No water and sandwiches were available. C. She only slept for five hours last night. D. The novelist didn’t turn up at the station. 5. What benefited Abi in managing the literary festival? A. Her deep love of literature. B. Her previous working experience. C. Her professional appearance. D. Her English and Creative Writing degree. 6. What was the consequence of the late arrival of the bookstore delivery? A. Sukie was barely annoyed all her learn. B. Littlejohn’s interview was to be delayed. C. Abi was probably dismissed from her post. D. Audience didn’t get signed books at the meeting. 7. Which of the following best describes the Barchester Literary Festival? A. Cool and successful. B. Organized but upsetting. C. Chaotic and eventful. D. Demanding but rewarding. C Shannon Baker, a landscape architect at Waterfront Toronto, pauses to point out a red-tailed hawk (鹰) flying over the restored Don River valley — a sight unimaginable eight years ago when this site was a deadly industrial zone. The hawk’s presence symbolizes the success of Canada’s most ambitious urban ecological project: transforming 300 hectares of abandoned factories and oil tanks into a lively ecosystem. In the 1880s, the Don River was rerouted into the Keating Channel to create land for a new port. For over a century since then, it regularly flooded surrounding areas. Engineers solved this by carving a 1.3-kilometre riverbed reconnecting the waterway to Lake Ontario. The scale of effort to make the new river extension has been enormous: four-plus years of construction; roads lifted or moved and multiple bridges built; 1.4 million cubic metres of polluted soil treated and reused or replaced. Most remarkably, bioengineered “instant forests” were created using interlocking root systems and layered soils to create mature ecosystems. “For me, the project is about reconnection,” says Baker. “We’re reconnecting the river to the lake, and in this process, reconnecting people.” Perhaps the deepest reconnections are with local Indigenous communities, who settled in the area centuries before the city’s creation. Waterfront Toronto engaged the MinoKamik Collective, an elder-led native environmental consultancy, to help design the planting strategy. “We put in wetland plants to help stabilize the riverbank and draw in animals,” says Shelley Charles, leader of the native elders. “When we met on the land at the start of the project, there was nothing there. It was like an artist’s canvas (画布). Now when you stand in the same place today, you’re able to walk along the river. It’s unbelievable.” Baker agrees and points out that people visiting the site today for the first time might not appreciate what’s been done. “Because when you look at the river as well as the wetland now, it looks like it’s always been there.” 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By showing data. B. By making a comparison. C. By giving an appeal. D. By raising an assumption. 9. What is the primary purpose of the new river extension? A. To prevent flooding. B. To attract wildlife. C. To create a new port. D. To build new roads. 10. What is Charles’s attitude towards the project? A. Proud. B. Concerned. C. Unbelieving. D. Indifferent. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Waterfront: A History Of Toronto B. Keating Channel: A Nature Restoration Project C. The River Extension: From Wasteland To Wetland D. MinoKamik Collective: Between Indigenous And Natives D A few years ago, Casey Harrell was diagnosed with ALS, a brain disease that left him paralyzed (瘫痪) and unable to speak. But thanks to a groundbreaking brain implant, Harrell now “speaks” through an electronic voice device. This AI-powered brain implant is a milestone for neurotechnology (神经技术). Now, scientists from University of California have developed a streaming approach to restore speech for those with severe paralysis. This new technology addresses the issue of latency — delays between a person’s attempt to speak and sound production — by using AI to almost instantly transform brain signals into speech, marking a significant breakthrough in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, marks a critical step toward enabling communication for speaking impaired individuals. “Our streaming approach makes it possible for the brain implant to obtain the rapid speech decoding capacity,” says Gopala, Assistant Professor at University of California, Berkeley. The technology uses an algorithm (算法) similar to smart voice assistant to decode neural data and enable real-time voice streaming. To train their algorithm, researchers had a subject, Ann who couldn’t speak, look at tips on the screen — like “Hey, how are you?” — and then silently attempt to speak that sentence. This provided a mapping between neural activity and intended speech. AI used a pretrained text-to-speech model to reproduce her pre-injury voice. With the new streaming approach, output can be generated in near real time as the subject attempts to speak, compared to an 8-second delay for a single sentence in the previous BCI studies. This greater speed did not come at the cost of precision. The faster interface delivered the same high level of accuracy as their previous, non-streaming approach. The device can continuously decode speech, allowing for uninterrupted conversation. This latest work lays the groundwork for future advances. The focus remains on building expressivity into output voice to reflect changes in tone or loudness during speech, for example, when someone is excited. 12. What breakthrough did the new technology make in BCI? A. The transformation of brain signals. B. The speed of speech generation. C. The reduction on the cost of devices. D. The integration of brain and computer. 13. What does the underlined word “impaired” mean in the third paragraph? A. Damaged. B. Improved. C. Untrained. D. Repaired. 14. What can we learn about Ann? A. She was unable to speak at birth. B. She could be heard with the help of AI. C. She provided a map for neural activity. D. She was required to read out tips on the screen. 15. What future improvement will the research team focus on? A The speed of decoding. B. The level of accuracy. C. The fluency of conversation. D. The expression of emotion. 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。 Empowering Teens For Success: A Guide To Future Planning As high school students, you’re standing at the crossroads of adolescence and adulthood in today’s rapidly changing world. ___16___ This guide aims to empower you with the tools to navigate this critical time effectively.

Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
