一、阅读理解
A
Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. Its the first time that its been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used AI (artificial intelligence). It is the name of a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are the most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I dont have my driving license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet”. It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldnt understand their thoughts.
The scientists who have been working on the technology for 15 years said they understood the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that can help them.” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still alive but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.

Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. 6. D He was the worlds first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany. The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past?

二、完形填空
Whether youre in China or abroad, you can always find 1 with the label (标签) “made in China”. Have you ever 2 why?
Is it because 3 in China are better? Is it because Chinese workers are better at 4 products? Neither. In fact, there are two main 5 — a large population and a large number of cheap materials.
In foreign countries, people usually get 6 pay than they do in China. This means bosses can make less 7 . As a result, many international companies think its better to give the processing job to China because they can 8 less by doing so. Similarly, many countries around the world are not as big as China. So the 9 of the materials in these countries are much higher than those in China. To make more money, companies will choose to make more products using 10 labor (劳动力) and materials.
You may think this is 11 because other countries are making use of Chinese people for their own benefits (好处). But its not 12 true. While processing products for other companies, Chinese companies are also 13 how to make good products in similar ways. Then our skills and technologies can be 14 . One day we may be strong enough to influence the world with our own products.
Another advantage is that more people can get jobs to process products. With a huge population in China, not everyone can go to university and get a good job. And the 15 from the factories make many people be able to feed themselves and their families.

阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。
OpenAIs new model, Sora, is surprising the world. AI doesnt just make text and pictures for us anymore — now, it can turn a sentence into a video.
Whether on a large TV or a small smartphone, Soras videos are always easy 1. to watch and enjoy. Sora can also make scenes with lots of people doing different things with clear details. Its also learning 2. how to make things look real in videos.
Sora is a good learner. It looks at many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small bits (片段) 3. which/that are used to make a new video. The new video is gray at first and looks very messy. Then, Sora fixes the video until it looks fine. OpenAI is still testing Sora, so it is far 4. from perfect. When it comes to complex images (复杂图像), Sora cant make everything look real. One example is a video where a grandma blows 5. out a birthday candle, but the flame doesnt move.
