Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager has landed the biggest prize so far in his young career. The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首次亮相) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence (杰出) the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut, drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs, even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
4. What does the underlined word “landed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Reached. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
5. What was Su Yiming’s childhood dream?
A. To win a gold medal in Olympics. B. To become a professional athlete.
C. To reach the top of the sport. D. To demonstrate his own style and creativity.
6. What contributes most to Su Yiming’s success?
A. His talent. B. His coach’s help.
C. His hard work. D. His passion.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Su?
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Hard-working and devoted.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Generous and productive.
C
Every April, I find myself troubled by the same concern—that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. On May 3, I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of pressing a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark branches stretch out in unpruned (未经修剪的) abandon.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to prune (修剪) a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches (门廊). These were people I barely knew, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. “You’re not going to cut it down, are you?” she asked anxiously.
Soon, half the neighborhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder.
Just the other day, I saw one neighbor at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.”
8. How did the author feel about the sudden change of the view?
A. Frightened. B. Depressed. C. Surprised. D. Annoyed.
9. Why did the neighbors open their windows and step out?
A. They intended to greet the author.
B. They felt astonished to notice a stranger.
C. They meant to protect their personal gardens.
D. They wondered what might happen to the tree.
10. What can be inferred about the apple tree in the neighborhood’?
A. It served as a bond. B. It was left unattended.
C. It stayed in a poor condition. D. It proved to be unappealing.
11 What did the neighbor value most according to the last paragraph?
A. The arrival of spring. B. The neighborhood gathering.
C. The pruning of the apple tree. D. Entertainment in the long winter.
D
An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study.
Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.
Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG) (脑磁图).
Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found.
“The new study is the decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees. “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.”
12 Whom might the AI benefit?
A. People unable to read.
B. People who are unconscious.
C. People who can’t move around.
D. People unable to communicate normally.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The purpose of the AI.
B. The significance of the AI.
C. The advantage of the AI.
D. The working principle of the AI.
14. What does the AI require to make its prediction?
A. Speech production. B. Top ten guesses.
C. Patterns of brain activity. D. Disabled volunteers.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Way to Decode Speech
B. The Employment of MEG Technology
C. An Advance in Artificial Intelligence
D. A Solution to Communication Problems

I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.

Every April, I find myself troubled by the same concern—that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. On May 3, I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of pressing a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark branches stretch out in unpruned (未经修剪的) abandon.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to prune (修剪) a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches (门廊). These were people I barely knew, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. “You’re not going to cut it down, are you?” she asked anxiously.
Soon, half the neighborhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder.
Just the other day, I saw one neighbor at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.”
8. How did the author feel about the sudden change of the view?
A. Frightened. B. Depressed. C. Surprised. D. Annoyed.
9. Why did the neighbors open their windows and step out?
A. They intended to greet the author.
B. They felt astonished to notice a stranger.
C. They meant to protect their personal gardens.
D. They wondered what might happen to the tree.
10. What can be inferred about the apple tree in the neighborhood’?
A. It served as a bond. B. It was left unattended.
C. It stayed in a poor condition. D. It proved to be unappealing.
11. What did the neighbor value most according to the last paragraph?
A. The arrival of spring. B. The neighborhood gathering.
C. The pruning of the apple tree. D. Entertainment in the long winter.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study.
Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.
Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG) (脑磁图).
Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found.
“The new study is the decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees. “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.”
12. Whom might the AI benefit?
A. People unable to read.
B. People who are unconscious.
C. People who can’t move around.
D. People unable to communicate normally.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The purpose of the AI.
B. The significance of the AI.
C. The advantage of the AI.
D. The working principle of the AI.
14. What does the AI require to make its prediction?
A. Speech production. B. Top ten guesses.
C. Patterns of brain activity. D. Disabled volunteers.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Way to Decode Speech
B. The Employment of MEG Technology
C. An Advance in Artificial Intelligence
D. A Solution to Communication Problems
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了AI通过脑活动数据解码语言的研究进展及其对沟通障碍者的潜在帮助。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了在当今快节奏世界中,正念生活这门艺术的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:正念,即在当下保持完全专注的练习,在现代生活的混乱中提供了一条通往内心平静和清晰的途径。此处表示泛指“一条途径”,pathway是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:从本质上讲,正念生活包括不加评判地关注我们的思想、感觉和感知。根据空前的介词“without”可知,此处应填名词作宾语,judge的名词形式是judgement/judgment,意为“评判”。故填judgement/judgment。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正念的主要好处之一是它有减轻压力的能力。“the ability to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“做某事的能力”,所以用动词不定式to reduce作后置定语,修饰“ability”。故填to reduce。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:简单的练习,如正念呼吸或正念行走,可以让我们扎根于此时此地,营造一种平静和稳定的感觉。已有谓语动词“can root”,此处应用非谓语动词。“Simple practices”与“create”之间是主动关系,即这些练习主动营造出平静和稳定的感觉,所以用现在分词creating作结果状语,表自然而然的结果。故填creating。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:简单的练习,如正念呼吸或正念行走,可以让我们扎根于此时此地,营造一种平静和稳定的感觉。根据空前的“a sense of calm and”可知,此处应填名词,与“calm(平静)”并列作宾语,stable的名词形式是stability,意为“稳定”。故填stability。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:通过完全专注于他人,我们能更深入地倾听,更有效地沟通。此处修饰动词“communicate(沟通)”,应用副词形式,effective的副词是effectively,意为“有效地”。故填effectively。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:我们与家人、朋友和同事之间的联系因正念所培养的共情和联结而得到加强。句子描述的是一般情况,应用一般现在时。主语“The bonds”与“strengthen(加强)”之间是被动关系,即“联系被加强”,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”,主语是复数,所以用are strengthened。故填are strengthened。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:感恩也受到正念的鼓励,帮助我们欣赏生活中那些常常被忽视的小乐趣。“____8____ often go unnoticed”为定语从句,先行词为“the small joys”,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that或which引导该定语从句。故填that/which。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它邀请我们放慢脚步,珍惜每一刻,以一种好奇的心态迎接生活。“invite sb. to do sth.”是固定短语,意为“邀请某人做某事”,所以用动词不定式to slow作宾补。故填to slow。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:在一个常常重视速度和效率而非当下和反思的社会里,正念生活永恒地提醒我们什么才是真正重要的。根据语境,这里表示“重视……而非……”,用介词over,“value...over...”意为“重视……多于……”。故填over。

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。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.

Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors.
