Camp Fire’s three core programs unlock teens’ potential and empower joyful growth! All efforts aim to provide equal growth opportunities for every child.
Camp Fire Teen Leadership Program
The Hearst Foundations, a 109-year-old youth development nonprofit, invested $125,000 in Camp Fire to expand its teen leadership program and amplify (扩大) youth voices. The fund will be used over a two-year period to ensure a safe program environment where teens have access to leadership experiences. Rooted in youth voice, the Teen Leadership Program empowers teens with leadership skills through digital training, enabling them to find their spark as well as allowing teens to acquire advanced leadership skills necessary for success in their role.
Camp Fire After-school Program
To connect young people with the outdoors, others and themselves, Camp Fire After-school Program covers STEM, creative arts, health and community development. It addresses three pressing issues — easing the youth mental health crisis through safe learning spaces, boosting overall academic performance, and relieving the shortage of quality after-school activities. High-quality after-school programs can help students academically, emotionally, and socially.
Camp Fire Nature-powered Program
Camp Fire launches a nature-powered camping and outdoor education program, including overnight camps, day camps, and environmental education. Its plan is to engage young people with nature, which will not only have the potential to promote environmental awareness and action in youth, but also enhance comprehensive personal development, relationship-building, and academic learning. This intentional connection with nature — whether in an after-school program in an urban area or a camp in the remote wilderness — brings positive and lasting benefits for young people.

On freezing cold Tuesdays in New York, a small purple stand in the street corner catches the eyes of passers-by. It looks like a lemonade stand, but something very different is on the menu. This is the Grandma Stand.
The concept began back in 2012 in New York City, thanks to Upper West Sider Mike Matthews. After seeing how a heartfelt chat with his 95-year-old grandmother Eileen lifted a friend’s spirits, he knew there was something powerful in grandmotherly presence. But at the time, his grandmother was too old to travel. With dreams of connecting his grandma Eileen virtually to his community, he bought a lemonade stand, put a laptop and headphones in a chair and let anyone talk to his grandma. Thousands followed the project online for years, but the stand stalled in 2018 when Matthews’ grandmother died at 102.
Soon after Eileen’s death, Matthews revived it, feeling the world still needed that gentle listening ear. He now uses a bright purple booth (Eileen’s favorite color) and a circle of volunteer grandmas take turns to offer empathy and wise insight. Everyone can stop by and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental. As Grandma Nancy recently told CBS News, “Grandmas are non-judgemental — we’re loving people as a rule.”Her words capture exactly what makes this project so special: a welcoming space where people of all ages can sit, talk, laugh, or simply be listened to.
However, the Grandma Stand is not a project that benefits only one side. As Matthews reflected on his grandmother’s motivation, “She wanted to be seen. She wants, in her own words, old people to be seen.” This desire is shared by 77-year-old Grandma Flo, a volunteer who is looking for more opportunities for connection. “I strive to be the type of person that sees good in everyone. We do need to show more love,” she said.
4. What inspired Matthew to start the Grandma Stand?
A. His desire to gain popularity online. B. His dream of owning a lemonade stand.
C. His love and respect for his grandmother. D. His grandma’s power to cheer a friend up.
5. What does the underlined word “staffed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Stopped. B. Continued. C. Expanded. D. Changed.
6. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Matthews chose purple by accident. B. The Grandma stand makes a good profit.
C. Volunteer grandmas are easy to talk to. D. Nancy became famous due to the project.
7. What can be the suitable title for the text?
A. Mike’s Grandma: A Project’s Inspiration
B. The Grandma Stand: Mutual Warmth for All
C. A Purple Booth: A Popular Spot in New York
D. Volunteer Grandmas: Helpers for Sad Passers-by
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了纽约的Mike Matthews受祖母谈话的启发创立“祖母摊位”的故事,起初通过视频连线让年迈的祖母为路人倾听,祖母离世后他将项目重启,改由志愿者祖母轮流值守;该公益项目既为都市人提供了无评判的温暖陪伴,也让老年志愿者实现了“被看见”的价值感,是一场双赢的创新社会实践。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After seeing how a heartfelt chat with his 95-year-old grandmother Eileen lifted a friend’s spirits, he knew there was something powerful in grandmotherly presence.(在看到与95岁的祖母Eileen的一次真诚交谈如何鼓舞了一位朋友之后,他知道祖母有一种强大的力量)”可知,Matthew目睹祖母与朋友的真诚交谈能鼓舞朋友的精神,意识到祖母的陪伴蕴含强大力量,这正是他创办“祖母摊位”的灵感来源。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段语境,前文“Thousands followed the project online for years(多年来,成千上万的人在网上关注着这个项目)”提到项目多年来吸引数千人在线关注,后文衔接“when Matthews’ grandmother died at 102(Matthews祖母102岁去世时)”,结合逻辑可推断,祖母的离世导致项目无法继续原有模式,因此“stalled”应表示“停止”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Everyone can stop by and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental.(每个人都可以前来与一位“祖母”交谈——她睿智、热情且毫无偏见)”以及“Her words capture exactly what makes this project so special: a welcoming space where people of all ages can sit, talk, laugh, or simply be listened to.(她的这番话准确地道出了该项目之所以如此特别的原因:这是一个充满温馨氛围的场所,无论年龄大小,所有人都可以在此坐下、交谈、欢笑,或者只是静静地聆听他人说话)”可知,志愿祖母们睿智、温暖且不评判他人,摊位是友好包容的交流空间,由此可推知她们易于沟通。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,“祖母摊位”不仅为都市人提供了无评判温暖陪伴,也让老年志愿者获得了“被看见”的价值感,实现了双向受益。B选项“The Grandma Stand: Mutual Warmth for All”(祖母摊位:给所有人的双向温暖)精准概括了文章核心主旨。故选B。
C
Walking is often overlooked as a mere means of getting from A to B. However, neuroscientist Shane O’Mara argues that walking is a “superpower” that makes us healthier, happier, and brainier. In his research, O’Mara emphasizes that our bodies evolved to move. When we walk, the brain functions better. Unlike many other forms of exercise, regular walking can unlock the cognitive (认知的) powers of the brain-once we find our rhythm, our constrained (被约束的) minds are free to wander, leading to increased creativity and better problem-solving abilities.
The benefits of walking extend far beyond physical fitness. O’Mara points out that walking contributes to the release of “brain-derived neurotrophic factor” (BDNF), a protein that acts like a fertilizer for our brain cells. This process helps in the creation of new memories and keeps the brain “young”. Moreover, walking in natural settings — often referred to as “green walking” — has been to significantly reduce stress levels and improve our emotional well-being compared to walking in urban environments.
Interestingly, walking also serves as a social glue. When people walk together, they often find it easier to exchange their thoughts. O’Mara suggests that the rhythmic feature of walking helps to adjust our internal rhythms, making us more open to conversation and cooperation. This is why many great thinkers throughout history, from Aristotle to Steve Jobs, preferred “walking meetings” to discuss complex ideas. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said that “only thoughts reached by walking have value”, an idea that Charles Dickens would have approved of without doubt.
With the modernization of society, people have grown increasingly inactive from sitting for long periods. To reclaim our superpower, we don’t need expensive gym memberships or specialized equipment. Simply integrating a 30-minute walk into our daily routine can have profound effects on our cognitive health and overall quality of life.
8. Why is walking considered a “superpower” according to Shane O’Mara?
A. It sharpens critical thinking. B. It aids in finding walking rhythms.
C. It boosts overall well-being. D. It helps maintain cognitive ability.
9. What do we know about BDNF?
A. It is helpful for forming new memories. B. It is released by walking in natural settings.
C. It is a kind of fertilizer for human bodies. D. It directly improves people’s physical fitness.
10. What does O’Mara try to explain by mentioning many great thinkers?
A. The value of cooperation. B. The benefits of discussion.
C. The importance of rhythm. D. The advantages of walking.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore modern living habits. B. To encourage an active lifestyle.
C. To present a new research finding. D. To compare different workout forms.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要阐述了神经科学家Shane O’Mara的观点,即步行是一种“超能力”,能让我们更健康、更快乐、更聪明,并介绍了步行的诸多益处,鼓励人们通过步行过上积极健康的生活。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, neuroscientist Shane O’Mara argues that walking is a “superpower” that makes us healthier, happier, and brainier. (然而,神经科学家Shane O’Mara认为,步行是一种“超能力”,能让我们更健康、更快乐、更聪明。)”可知,步行能提升我们整体的健康、快乐和智力水平,也就是提升整体幸福感,所以Shane O’Mara认为步行是一种“超能力”是因为它能提升整体幸福感。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“O’Mara points out that walking contributes to the release of “brain-derived neurotrophic factor” (BDNF), a protein that acts like a fertilizer for our brain cells. This process helps in the creation of new memories and keeps the brain “young”. (O’Mara指出,步行有助于释放“脑源性神经营养因子”(BDNF),这是一种对我们脑细胞起肥料作用的蛋白质。这个过程有助于创造新的记忆,保持大脑“年轻”。)”可知,BDNF有助于形成新的记忆。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, walking also serves as a social glue. When people walk together, they often find it easier to exchange their thoughts. O’Mara suggests that the rhythmic feature of walking helps to adjust our internal rhythms, making us more open to conversation and cooperation. This is why many great thinkers throughout history, from Aristotle to Steve Jobs, preferred “walking meetings” to discuss complex ideas. (有趣的是,步行也是一种社交粘合剂。当人们一起散步时,他们常常发现更容易交流思想。O’Mara认为,步行的节奏特征有助于调整我们的内部节奏,使我们对对话和合作更加开放。这就是为什么从亚里士多德到史蒂夫·乔布斯,历史上许多伟大的思想家都喜欢“步行会议”来讨论复杂的想法。)”可知,作者提到许多伟大的思想家喜欢“步行会议”来讨论复杂的想法,是为了说明步行在促进交流和合作方面的作用,即步行的优势。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“With the modernization of society, people have grown increasingly inactive from sitting for long periods. To reclaim our superpower, we don’t need expensive gym memberships or specialized equipment. Simply integrating a 30-minute walk into our daily routine can have profound effects on our cognitive health and overall quality of life. (随着社会的现代化,人们由于长时间坐着而变得越来越不活跃。为了重新获得我们的超能力,我们不需要昂贵的健身房会员资格或专业设备。只需将30分钟的步行纳入我们的日常生活,就可以对我们的认知健康和整体生活质量产生深远的影响。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励人们通过步行这种简单的方式过上积极健康的生活。故选B项。

Do you take your ability to pick up a cup of water for granted? For many with high-level paralysis this dream into reality. By using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology, they successfully controlled a power wheelchair and even directed a robotic dog to fetch deliveries — all using only their thoughts.
Earlier BMI trials mainly focused on “virtual” control, such as moving computer cursors (光标) to play video games. The new breakthrough represents a giant leap: patients are now interacting with the physical world in three dimensions. This advancement enables levels of self-care and social participation that were previously unattainable. For instance, one patient is now working as an trainee, using brain control to check data for artificial intelligence systems. This shift allows paralyzed individuals to regain a sense of independence and social worth.
The technology stands out for its usefulness and slight harm to the body. The implants used are the smallest reported globally — about half the size of similar devices developed by tech giants. They are put in through a 5-millimeter small hole in the skull, making the procedure much safer. To ensure a smooth and continuous experience, the research team reduced the delay between a thought and an action to under 100 milliseconds, which is even faster than the body’s natural neural (神经的) response.
Speed and size, however, are not the only goals. The project aims to promote large-scale applications for a broader population, “We expect costs to be highly affordable, similar to purchasing an electronic product,” said Zhao Zhengtuo, a leading scientist of the team. He hopes the procedure will eventually become as simple as an ear piercing.
As science advances, the boundary between human thought and machine action is blurring (模糊不清的). Looking ahead, the team anticipates breakthroughs in restoring sensory functions within five years. BMI is offering not only a medical tool, but also a bridge to a more inclusive society where physical limitations no longer mean social isolation (隔离).
12. What can we infer about the two Chinese patients?
A. They have recovered from paralysis. B. They could control various robotic devices.
C. They managed to do some tasks with BMI. D. They were the first to test BMI technology.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The remarkable advantages of BMI technology. B. The tiny size of the implants used in BMI.
C. The neural response speed of the human body. D. The safe procedures for BMI implantation.
14. What do we learn about BMI’s future?
A. It will contribute to isolation. B. It can serve as a cure for paralysis.
C. It might blur social boundaries. D. It may become accessible to the public.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards BMI technology?
A. Neutral. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Critical.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇科技说明文,介绍了中国团队在脑机接口(BMI)技术上的突破性进展,通过帮助瘫痪患者恢复自主行动与社会参与能力,展现该技术的优势与未来应用前景。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“By using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology, they successfully controlled a power wheelchair and even directed a robotic dog to fetch deliveries — all using only their thoughts.(通过运用脑机接口(BMI)技术,他们成功地控制了一辆电动轮椅,甚至还能够指挥一只机器狗去取送包裹——这一切都是仅依靠他们的思维完成的)”可知,两位中国患者借助BMI技术,仅用意念就完成了操控电动轮椅、指挥机器狗取快递等任务,C项表述符合文意。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The technology stands out for its usefulness and slight harm to the body.(该技术的特点在于其实用性以及对身体的轻微损害)”及后文对植入物体积小、手术更安全、意念到行动的延迟极快等内容的介绍可知,本段主要讲述BMI技术的显著优势。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The project aims to promote large-scale applications for a broader population, “We expect costs to be highly affordable, similar to purchasing an electronic product,” said Zhao Zhengtuo, a leading scientist of the team. He hopes the procedure will eventually become as simple as an ear piercing.(该项目旨在让更多的民众能够大规模地使用这项技术,“我们预计其成本会非常低廉,类似于购买一件电子产品的价格。”该团队的首席科学家赵郑拓说道。他希望这一过程最终能像打耳洞一样简单)”可知,BMI技术未来有望实现大规模应用,成本亲民且操作简便,会让普通大众也能接触使用。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判读题。根据最后一段“BMI is offering not only a medical tool, but also a bridge to a more inclusive society where physical limitations no longer mean social isolation (隔离).(BMI 不仅提供了一种医疗工具,还搭建了一座通往更加包容社会的桥梁,在这样的社会中,身体上的限制不再意味着社会上的孤立)”可知,作者认为BMI技术不仅是一种医疗手段,还能搭建通往更包容社会的桥梁,体现出作者对该技术持支持、认可的态度。故选C。

Value Labour and Protect Our Campus
Recently, I’ve noticed a worrying phenomenon on our campus, which ruins the fruits of others’ labor seriously and the campus environment.
Some classmates find excuses to skip their turn of cleaning the classroom, leaving the floor dusty and blackboards uncleaned. Some even leave desks messy with leftovers after meals and litter on clean floors casually. A campus is our shared home and establishing a correct view of labor not only creates a neat, harmonious environment but also teaches us responsibility. We should fulfill class duty attentively, keep the campus clean and cherish food.
Let’s call on peers to respect laborers’ efforts and join in labor, fostering a good habit. Only in this way can we build a beautiful and orderly campus.

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。
Dora is a seven-year-old girl. One afternoon, as she walked home from school, a lively chorus of chirps (啾啾叫) drew her attention — dozens of bright birds stood on the branches of an old maple tree, singing joyfully under the sunset glow, their feathers sparking like polished jewels. But when she lowered her eyes, her heart skipped a beat: a tiny blue bird lay on the ground, its wing slightly hanging down, unable to join the group above. Filled with sympathy, Dora knelt down gently, picked up the weak bird, and murmured, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take care of you.”
That day when Dora returned home, she rushed to her mother with the bird in her hands, her voice trembling with anxiety. “Mom! It’s hurt. Can we save it?” Her mother knelt down, touched the bird softly, and nodded warmly. “Of course, honey. Let’s clean its wound and make a comfortable home for it.” Together, they disinfected (为……消毒) the bird’s wing and placed it in a small birdcage with soft cotton. Dora took great care of it every day. A few days later, the little bird was back to health, making Dora feel overjoyed. She decided to keep the little bird as her pet.
Dora invited her friends over to see the bird. All of them praised its beauty, making Dora feel proud. She played with the bird together with her friends for a long time, and all her friends envied her for having such a lovely pet, wishing to have one, too.
Sadly, a few weeks later, Dora fell ill. The doctor told her parents she had to stay home to rest, and her parents asked her friends not to come over to avoid spreading the disease. Dora felt really sad, longing for her friends’ company yet knowing her parents were right. With no one to play with, she spent most of her time sitting by the birdcage, staring at the bird.
注意:

【答案】参考范文
Soon, she noticed that the bird seemed unhappy too. It stayed in the cage corner, looking lonely and its bright blue feathers losing their shine. Dora thought of the splendid birds flying freely in the sunset and singing joyfully in the maple tree. She suddenly understood the bird’s sadness — it was just like her, stuck alone and missing freedom. A strong sense of guilt filled her heart, for she had kept the bird in a cage only for her own joy, ignoring its true wish. Dora realized she shouldn’t selfishly take away its freedom for her own enjoyment.
She finally made up her mind and told her mother her decision. She said, “Mom, can you set the bird free?” Her mother was surprised and asked why. “I’m sure it also wants friends,” said Dora. Her mother smiled proudly and agreed at once. They took the cage to the old maple tree, and Dora opened the door gently. The bird hopped out, flapped its wings, and circled twice above her, as if saying thanks, then flew into the distant woods. Dora watched it go, with a warm and relieved smile on her little face. She finally understood that the truest love is never possession, but the kindness to let what you cherish live as it wishes.

Camp Fire’s three core programs unlock teens’ potential and empower joyful growth! All efforts aim to provide equal growth opportunities for every child.
Camp Fire Teen Leadership Program
The Hearst Foundations, a 109-year-old youth development nonprofit, invested $125,000 in Camp Fire to expand its teen leadership program and amplify (扩大) youth voices. The fund will be used over a two-year period to ensure a safe program environment where teens have access to leadership experiences. Rooted in youth voice, the Teen Leadership Program empowers teens with leadership skills through digital training, enabling them to find their spark as well as allowing teens to acquire advanced leadership skills necessary for success in their role.
Camp Fire After-school Program
To connect young people with the outdoors, others and themselves, Camp Fire After-school Program covers STEM, creative arts, health and community development. It addresses three pressing issues — easing the youth mental health crisis through safe learning spaces, boosting overall academic performance, and relieving the shortage of quality after-school activities. High-quality after-school programs can help students academically, emotionally, and socially.
Camp Fire Nature-powered Program
Camp Fire launches a nature-powered camping and outdoor education program, including overnight camps, day camps, and environmental education. Its plan is to engage young people with nature, which will not only have the potential to promote environmental awareness and action in youth, but also enhance comprehensive personal development, relationship-building, and academic learning. This intentional connection with nature — whether in an after-school program in an urban area or a camp in the remote wilderness — brings positive and lasting benefits for young people.

On freezing cold Tuesdays in New York, a small purple stand in the street corner catches the eyes of passers-by. It looks like a lemonade stand, but something very different is on the menu. This is the Grandma Stand.
The concept began back in 2012 in New York City, thanks to Upper West Sider Mike Matthews. After seeing how a heartfelt chat with his 95-year-old grandmother Eileen lifted a friend’s spirits, he knew there was something powerful in grandmotherly presence. But at the time, his grandmother was too old to travel. With dreams of connecting his grandma Eileen virtually to his community, he bought a lemonade stand, put a laptop and headphones in a chair and let anyone talk to his grandma. Thousands followed the project online for years, but the stand stalled in 2018 when Matthews’ grandmother died at 102.
Soon after Eileen’s death, Matthews revived it, feeling the world still needed that gentle listening ear. He now uses a bright purple booth (Eileen’s favorite color) and a circle of volunteer grandmas take turns to offer empathy and wise insight. Everyone can stop by and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental. As Grandma Nancy recently told CBS News, “Grandmas are non-judgemental — we’re loving people as a rule.”Her words capture exactly what makes this project so special: a welcoming space where people of all ages can sit, talk, laugh, or simply be listened to.
However, the Grandma Stand is not a project that benefits only one side. As Matthews reflected on his grandmother’s motivation, “She wanted to be seen. She wants, in her own words, old people to be seen.” This desire is shared by 77-year-old Grandma Flo, a volunteer who is looking for more opportunities for connection. “I strive to be the type of person that sees good in everyone. We do need to show more love,” she said.
4. What inspired Matthew to start the Grandma Stand?
A. His desire to gain popularity online. B. His dream of owning a lemonade stand.
C. His love and respect for his grandmother. D. His grandma’s power to cheer a friend up.

Walking is often overlooked as a mere means of getting from A to B. However, neuroscientist Shane O’Mara argues that walking is a “superpower” that makes us healthier, happier, and brainier. In his research, O’Mara emphasizes that our bodies evolved to move. When we walk, the brain functions better. Unlike many other forms of exercise, regular walking can unlock the cognitive (认知的) powers of the brain-once we find our rhythm, our constrained (被约束的) minds are free to wander, leading to increased creativity and better problem-solving abilities.
The benefits of walking extend far beyond physical fitness. O’Mara points out that walking contributes to the release of “brain-derived neurotrophic factor” (BDNF), a protein that acts like a fertilizer for our brain cells. This process helps in the creation of new memories and keeps the brain “young”. Moreover, walking in natural settings — often referred to as “green walking” — has been to significantly reduce stress levels and improve our emotional well-being compared to walking in urban environments.
Interestingly, walking also serves as a social glue. When people walk together, they often find it easier to exchange their thoughts. O’Mara suggests that the rhythmic feature of walking helps to adjust our internal rhythms, making us more open to conversation and cooperation. This is why many great thinkers throughout history, from Aristotle to Steve Jobs, preferred “walking meetings” to discuss complex ideas. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said that “only thoughts reached by walking have value”, an idea that Charles Dickens would have approved of without doubt.
With the modernization of society, people have grown increasingly inactive from sitting for long periods. To reclaim our superpower, we don’t need expensive gym memberships or specialized equipment. Simply integrating a 30-minute walk into our daily routine can have profound effects on our cognitive health and overall quality of life.
8. Why is walking considered a “superpower” according to Shane O’Mara?
A. It sharpens critical thinking. B. It aids in finding walking rhythms.
C. It boosts overall well-being. D. It helps maintain cognitive ability.
9. What do we know about BDNF?
A. It is helpful for forming new memories. B. It is released by walking in natural settings.
C. It is a kind of fertilizer for human bodies. D. It directly improves people’s physical fitness.
10. What does O’Mara try to explain by mentioning many great thinkers?
A. The value of cooperation. B. The benefits of discussion.
C. The importance of rhythm. D. The advantages of walking.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore modern living habits. B. To encourage an active lifestyle.
C. To present a new research finding. D. To compare different workout forms.
D
Do you take your ability to pick up a cup of water for granted? For many with high-level paralysis this dream into reality. By using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology, they successfully controlled a power wheelchair and even directed a robotic dog to fetch deliveries — all using only their thoughts.
Earlier BMI trials mainly focused on “virtual” control, such as moving computer cursors (光标) to play video games. The new breakthrough represents a giant leap: patients are now interacting with the physical world in three dimensions. This advancement enables levels of self-care and social participation that were previously unattainable. For instance, one patient is now working as an trainee, using brain control to check data for artificial intelligence systems. This shift allows paralyzed individuals to regain a sense of independence and social worth.
The technology stands out for its usefulness and slight harm to the body. The implants used are the smallest reported globally — about half the size of similar devices developed by tech giants. They are put in through a 5-millimeter small hole in the skull, making the procedure much safer. To ensure a smooth and continuous experience, the research team reduced the delay between a thought and an action to under 100 milliseconds, which is even faster than the body’s natural neural (神经的) response.
Speed and size, however, are not the only goals. The project aims to promote large-scale applications for a broader population, “We expect costs to be highly affordable, similar to purchasing an electronic product,” said Zhao Zhengtuo, a leading scientist of the team. He hopes the procedure will eventually become as simple as an ear piercing.
As science advances, the boundary between human thought and machine action is blurring (模糊不清的). Looking ahead, the team anticipates breakthroughs in restoring sensory functions within five years. BMI is offering not only a medical tool, but also a bridge to a more inclusive society where physical limitations no longer mean social isolation (隔离).
12. What can we infer about the two Chinese patients?
A. They have recovered from paralysis. B. They could control various robotic devices.
C. They managed to do some tasks with BMI. D. They were the first to test BMI technology.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The remarkable advantages of BMI technology. B. The tiny size of the implants used in BMI.
C. The neural response speed of the human body. D. The safe procedures for BMI implantation.
14. What do we learn about BMI’s future?
A. It will contribute to isolation. B. It can serve as a cure for paralysis.
C. It might blur social boundaries. D. It may become accessible to the public.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards BMI technology?
A. Neutral. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Critical.

Dora is a seven-year-old girl. One afternoon, as she walked home from school, a lively chorus of chirps (啾啾叫) drew her attention — dozens of bright birds stood on the branches of an old maple tree, singing joyfully under the sunset glow, their feathers sparking like polished jewels. But when she lowered her eyes, her heart skipped a beat: a tiny blue bird lay on the ground, its wing slightly hanging down, unable to join the group above. Filled with sympathy, Dora knelt down gently, picked up the weak bird, and murmured, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take care of you.”
That day when Dora returned home, she rushed to her mother with the bird in her hands, her voice trembling with anxiety. “Mom! It’s hurt. Can we save it?” Her mother knelt down, touched the bird softly, and nodded warmly. “Of course, honey. Let’s clean its wound and make a comfortable home for it.” Together, they disinfected (为……消毒) the bird’s wing and placed it in a small birdcage with soft cotton. Dora took great care of it every day. A few days later, the little bird was back to health, making Dora feel overjoyed. She decided to keep the little bird as her pet.
Dora invited her friends over to see the bird. All of them praised its beauty, making Dora feel proud. She played with the bird together with her friends for a long time, and all her friends envied her for having such a lovely pet, wishing to have one, too.
Sadly, a few weeks later, Dora fell ill. The doctor told her parents she had to stay home to rest, and her parents asked her friends not to come over to avoid spreading the disease. Dora felt really sad, longing for her friends’ company yet knowing her parents were right. With no one to play with, she spent most of her time sitting by the birdcage, staring at the bird.
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。
Soon, she noticed that the bird seemed unhappy too.
