Now, imagine this person controlling a smart home, or even moving a robotic arm-just by thinking. This is not science fiction. Companies like Neuralink are working to make it real. They are developing a technology called Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) to create a direct connection between the human brain and computers. ②BCI is a system that allows information to flow directly between the brain and an outer machine, like a computer or a robotic arm. The key idea is to “read” the brain’s electrical signals, decode them using machine learning, and translate them into orders. While it sounds ultra-modern, it has been around for many years in science fiction. Real research began in the late 20th century, focused on helping people with disabilities. Today, with the development of neuroscience (神经科学) and artificial intelligence (AI), BCI technology is developing faster than ever. ③The possible uses of BCI can change many parts of our personal lives. ④For people with serious disabilities, BCI can be a window to the world. It’s possible for them to move again or search online by using their thoughts. ⑤After a tiring day, BCI could create much pleasure and educational experiences in reality, where you control the game or simulation with your mind. ⑥BCI also provides much convenience for the public services. For example, firefighters might use it to control robots in dangerous places, keeping themselves safe. In the future, it could even help manage traffic systems by understanding drivers’ stress level. ⑦Although there is exciting progress, making BCI work perfectly is quite challenging. The brain is really complex . Reading clear signals often requires small electrodes to be put in which carries risks. Besides, scientists are still learning the “language” of the brain to interpret meanings correctly every time. And this technology raises big ethical questions about privacy, fairness, and what it means to be humans. After all, the journey of BCI has just begun. Stay hungry for knowledge, and don’t be afraid to imagine the impossible. 1. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By imagining a scene. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By listing reasons. 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. BCI helps the information to flow between the brain and body. B. Real early research on BCI was mainly used for educational purposes. C. Neuroscience and AI have developed rapidly thanks to BCI technology. D. BCI can be used to improve medical service and education in daily life. 3. According to Paragraph 7, what are the challenges that BCI faces? ①The complexity of the brain. ②The ability of language learning. ③The ethical questions. ④The ability of decoding the brain. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 4. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 你家里的药箱里，是不是还躺着一支老式的水银体温计？一百多年来，这些小小的玻璃管因为便宜又准确，几乎是每个家庭的标配，在我们发烧时帮我们判断身体状况，就像一位可靠的老朋友。但从2026年1月1日起，中国将全面停止生产水银体温计，我们很快就要和它彻底告别了。这背后既有安全的考量，也折射出科技进步带来的生活变化。 单词 意思 单词 意思 accurate adj. 准确的，精确的 expand v. 膨胀；扩大 contract v. 收缩；缩小 push...back down 把……推回去 breathe in 吸入 what's more 此外，而且 ①Do you have an old mercury (水银) thermometer (体温计) in your medicine box at home? For over 100 years, these glass thermometers have been common in families because they are cheap and accurate. They help people check if they have a fever and are like helpful friends when we are sick. ②You may wonder how a mercury thermometer works. It has a little mercury inside a thin glass tube. Mercury expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Before use, you need to shake it hard to push the mercury back down below 35℃. When you put it under your arm or in your mouth, your body heat makes the mercury rise in the tube to show your temperature. ③However, a big change is coming. Starting from January 1, 2026, companies in China will stop producing these mercury thermometers. Soon, people will no longer be able to buy them in shops. ④There are several reasons for the stop of production. Mercury is highly toxic (有毒的). If the glass breaks—from shaking too hard, dropping or hitting hard surfaces—mercury comes out and turns into toxic gas (气体) quickly. Breathing it in can cause headaches and tiredness. Also, you should never touch mercury with your hands, as it can enter your body through the skin and cause health problems. ⑤What’s more, using mercury thermometers usually takes about 10 minutes. They are also difficult to read because the mercury line is very thin, and it is hard for you to see it clearly. They are not as convenient as other kinds of thermometers. ⑥Now, the old “health guards” are retiring while electronic thermometers are becoming the new heroes. They are usually made of plastic and have a screen, which are safe and easy to use. They can take your temperature without touching you. ⑦In the future, we will have even better tools. We might use smart watches or other cool gadgets(小工具) to check our health. They will be smarter, faster, and safer. So, let’s get ready to say goodbye to the old glass tubes. 1. Which has the same meaning as the underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 2? expand /ɪk’spænd/v. ①膨胀 ②拓展(业务) ③详述 A. ▶The air in a balloon will expand if you leave it under the hot sun. B. ▶The robotics industry expands fast nowadays. C. ▶I asked the question again and waited for her to expand. D. ▶Could you expand on that point, please? 2. Why do we stop making mercury thermometers? A. Because mercury thermometers are not very accurate. B. Because the electronic thermometers are much cheaper. C. Because it is a lot easier to make electronic thermometers. D. Because mercury thermometers are dangerous when broken. 3. What should you do if a mercury thermometer breaks at home? A. Pick up the glass pieces with your hands. B. Open the window and leave the room quickly. C. Use a bag to collect the mercury and store it. D. Take a deep breath to calm yourself down. 4. What is the best structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 5.Write a short passage about your experience with a mercury thermometer and your opinion on its retirement. （写一篇短文，谈谈你用水银体温计的经历，以及你对它即将退出历史舞台的看法。） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ 本文选自《绿山墙的安妮》，是一部经典儿童文学成长小说。作者是加拿大的露西·莫德·蒙哥马利，主要讲述绿山墙农舍的兄妹马修和玛丽拉本想领养男孩帮忙干活，却意外领来红发、爱幻想、话多的孤女安妮。安妮用热情、想象力和善良改变了农舍的沉闷，也收获了亲情、友情与成长；后来马修去世、玛丽拉眼疾，她放弃大学奖学金，留乡教书照顾养母。 本文讲述了安妮招待好友戴安娜时误给了她酒，引发误会后又在关键时刻帮忙照顾戴安娜的妹妹，最终化解矛盾、加深友谊的故事。 单词 意思 单词 意思 pour ...into 倒入 in no time 立刻；很快 wine n.酒 roll down 滚下 (One October afternoon, Anne welcomed her best friend Diana to Green Gables for afternoon tea.) Scene One Before going out, Marilla reminded her daughter Anne, “The raspberry cordial (树莓果汁) is on the kitchen table. Be careful and don’t take the wrong bottle.” “I won’t,” Anne answered. She wanted everything to be perfect for Diana. On the kitchen table stood a bottle filled with a bright red drink. It looked just like raspberry cordial, so Anne poured it into Diana’s glass without thinking twice. Diana drank one glass, then another. In no time, her face turned red. She began to laugh loudly and could hardly stand. Anne grew worried, but she still didn’t know what had gone wrong. Scene Two Not long after, Mrs Barry, Diana’s mother, learned what her daughter had drunk. She hurried to Green Gables, her face full of anger. “What drink did you give my daughter? That was not raspberry cordial!” she cried. Marilla checked the bottle. “It is currant wine,” she said, totally amazed! Mrs Barry turned to Anne. “Diana is not allowed to come here again!” Anne stood there silently, feeling sorry and heartbroken. Scene Three Several days later, Diana ran into Green Gables. “Oh, Anne, do come quick! Minnie May is awfully sick. Father and Mother are away. I don’t know what to do!” Diana’s voice shook and tears rolled down her face. Anne didn’t waste a moment and went with her at once. Scene Four Remembering what she had learned while caring for sick children in hospital before, Anne stayed calm and worked patiently all night until a doctor finally arrived. Minnie May felt much better. The next day, Mrs Barry went to Green Gables with some fresh flowers for Anne. “Anne,” she smiled and said gently, “I’m truly sorry. I shouldn’t have kept you and Diana apart. I supposed you might hurt her, but now I realize you never would. If it’s all right with you, Diana may visit you again.” Anne said nothing, but her eyes shone softly. She had made a careless mistake, but from it she learned the true meaning of friendship. —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 1. Why did Anne give Diana the wrong drink during tea time? A. Anne didn’t remember Marilla’s words. B. The wrong drink looked like raspberry cordial. C. Diana asked for another drink at the table D. Anne took the bottle from the wrong table. 2.

At first, it might look like an everyday greeting, but it’s actually a clever development. It borrows the structure of “Love you, Mom. See you tomorrow!” and simply exchanges “Mom” for “Lao Ji,” a playful word for “self.” In other words, it’s a warm reminder to love yourself. The reason why the simple pun has become popular is that it fills an emotional gap. In Chinese culture, people often find it hard to say “I love you”, even to themselves. Besides, we’re taught to care about others first. But in doing so, we sometimes forget to stop and ask ourselves, “Am I OK today?” Think about what you may have done. You stayed up until 3:00 a.m. finishing a group project, but the teacher checked for only thirty seconds and didn’t say anything like “Good job”. Maybe you smiled through a party, tried to please everyone, only to feel empty on the way home. Now, you can actually say “Ai Ni Lao Ji” to yourself. Psychologists call this self-compassion, and research shows it lowers stress and leads to self-confidence. When we speak to ourselves with the same kindness we offer to a close friend, we go out of sadness faster and dare to try again. So, when life is busy next time, just say “Ai Ni Lao Ji”, enjoy your favorite milk tea, or give yourself a hug instead of buying expensive cars or bags, travelling around the world or enjoying a live show of a superstar. The world will still move forward, but you’ll be standing a little straighter at the center of it. Summary Recently, there is a famous phrase “Ai Ni Lao Ji” everywhere online. It’s a playful pun which reminds us ____1____. It becomes popular because it fills the emotional gap. Since we grow up in Chinese culture, ____2____. Psychologists see saying “Ai Ni Lao Ji” as self-compassion and find it can make us feel ____3___. Also, it can make us happy and brave. So ____4____ when life is busy. Then you can be at the center of the world. 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 热点10 爱你老己+水银温度计+《绿山墙的安妮》+脑机接口技术+生命的延续 序号 题型 热点 1 完形填空 生命在死亡中延续 2 阅读理解 脑机接口技术 3 阅读理解 水银温度计即将淘汰 4 阅读理解 《绿山墙的安妮》 5 读写结合 爱你老己 本文的主人公在丧偶后陷入消沉，通过一次旅行，从沙漠与绿洲的对比中，直观地领悟到“生命在死亡中延续”的真谛，从而重获希望与内心平静的心路历程。 单词 意思 单词 意思 cheer up 使振作 take off 脱下（衣服）；（飞机）起飞 reduce v. 减少 cut down 砍伐；减少 Three years ago, my husband died.

If the glass breaks—from shaking too hard, dropping or hitting hard surfaces—mercury comes out and turns into toxic gas (气体) quickly.”可知，我们停止生产水银体温计是因为它们破碎后会释放有毒气体，存在危险。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据“If the glass breaks—from shaking too hard, dropping or hitting hard surfaces—mercury comes out and turns into toxic gas (气体) quickly. Breathing it in can cause headaches and tiredness.”可知，水银体温计破碎后会产生有毒气体，因此应开窗通风并迅速离开房间。故选B。 4.篇章结构题。文章①②段是引入，介绍水银体温计的背景与原理；③④⑤段说明停产的消息与原因；⑥段介绍替代它的电子体温计；⑦段展望未来的测温工具。结构为“引入→停产及原因→替代方案→未来”。故选C。 5.范文： When I was little, I got a fever and my mom used a mercury thermometer. I hated waiting 10 minutes with it under my arm! It was also scary because she always said, “Don’t break it—it’s poisonous!” Now I know mercury thermometers are being stopped in 2026. I think it’s a great idea. The new electronic ones are fast and safe. They even show the temperature on a screen. Although I’ll miss the old glass tube a little, I’m happy we’re getting smarter, safer tools. 本文选自《绿山墙的安妮》，是一部经典儿童文学成长小说。作者是加拿大的露西·莫德·蒙哥马利，主要讲述绿山墙农舍的兄妹马修和玛丽拉本想领养男孩帮忙干活，却意外领来红发、爱幻想、话多的孤女安妮。安妮用热情、想象力和善良改变了农舍的沉闷，也收获了亲情、友情与成长；后来马修去世、玛丽拉眼疾，她放弃大学奖学金，留乡教书照顾养母。 本文讲述了安妮招待好友戴安娜时误给了她酒，引发误会后又在关键时刻帮忙照顾戴安娜的妹妹，最终化解矛盾、加深友谊的故事。 单词 意思 单词 意思 pour ...into 倒入 in no time 立刻；很快 wine n.酒 roll down 滚下 (One October afternoon, Anne welcomed her best friend Diana to Green Gables for afternoon tea.) Scene One Before going out, Marilla reminded her daughter Anne, “The raspberry cordial (树莓果汁) is on the kitchen table. Be careful and don’t take the wrong bottle.” “I won’t,” Anne answered. She wanted everything to be perfect for Diana. On the kitchen table stood a bottle filled with a bright red drink. It looked just like raspberry cordial, so Anne poured it into Diana’s glass without thinking twice. Diana drank one glass, then another. In no time, her face turned red. She began to laugh loudly and could hardly stand. Anne grew worried, but she still didn’t know what had gone wrong. Scene Two Not long after, Mrs Barry, Diana’s mother, learned what her daughter had drunk. She hurried to Green Gables, her face full of anger. “What drink did you give my daughter? That was not raspberry cordial!” she cried. Marilla checked the bottle. “It is currant wine,” she said, totally amazed! Mrs Barry turned to Anne. “Diana is not allowed to come here again!” Anne stood there silently, feeling sorry and heartbroken. Scene Three Several days later, Diana ran into Green Gables. “Oh, Anne, do come quick! Minnie May is awfully sick. Father and Mother are away. I don’t know what to do!” Diana’s voice shook and tears rolled down her face. Anne didn’t waste a moment and went with her at once. Scene Four Remembering what she had learned while caring for sick children in hospital before, Anne stayed calm and worked patiently all night until a doctor finally arrived. Minnie May felt much better. The next day, Mrs Barry went to Green Gables with some fresh flowers for Anne. “Anne,” she smiled and said gently, “I’m truly sorry. I shouldn’t have kept you and Diana apart. I supposed you might hurt her, but now I realize you never would. If it’s all right with you, Diana may visit you again.” Anne said nothing, but her eyes shone softly. She had made a careless mistake, but from it she learned the true meaning of friendship. —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 1. Why did Anne give Diana the wrong drink during tea time? A.

At first, it might look like an everyday greeting, but it’s actually a clever development. It borrows the structure of “Love you, Mom. See you tomorrow!” and simply exchanges “Mom” for “Lao Ji,” a playful word for “self.” In other words, it’s a warm reminder to love yourself. The reason why the simple pun has become popular is that it fills an emotional gap. In Chinese culture, people often find it hard to say “I love you”, even to themselves. Besides, we’re taught to care about others first. But in doing so, we sometimes forget to stop and ask ourselves, “Am I OK today?” Think about what you may have done. You stayed up until 3:00 a.m. finishing a group project, but the teacher checked for only thirty seconds and didn’t say anything like “Good job”. Maybe you smiled through a party, tried to please everyone, only to feel empty on the way home. Now, you can actually say “Ai Ni Lao Ji” to yourself. Psychologists call this self-compassion, and research shows it lowers stress and leads to self-confidence. When we speak to ourselves with the same kindness we offer to a close friend, we go out of sadness faster and dare to try again. So, when life is busy next time, just say “Ai Ni Lao Ji”, enjoy your favorite milk tea, or give yourself a hug instead of buying expensive cars or bags, travelling around the world or enjoying a live show of a superstar. The world will still move forward, but you’ll be standing a little straighter at the center of it. Summary Recently, there is a famous phrase “Ai Ni Lao Ji” everywhere online. It’s a playful pun which reminds us ____1____. It becomes popular because it fills the emotional gap. Since we grow up in Chinese culture, ____2____.

Besides, we’re taught to care about others first. But in doing so, we sometimes forget to stop and ask ourselves, ‘Am I OK today?’”可知，中国传统文化强调优先关心他人，故填we often put others before ourselves。 3.根据第四段“Psychologists call this self-compassion, and research shows it lowers stress and leads to self-confidence.”可知，心理学家将说“爱你老己”视为自我关怀，发现这能让我们压力更小、更自信；less stressed“压力更小的”，其中stressed为形容词，表示“有压力的”，less表示比较级；more confident“更自信的”，其中confident为形容词，表示“自信的”，more表示比较级。故填less stressed and more confident。 4.根据“So, when life is busy next time, just say ‘Ai Ni Lao Ji’”可知在生活忙碌时要记得关心自己。故填remember to care about yourself。 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
