A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主题是人与社会，文章介绍了建筑与场地部门致力于为学生和教职工打造一流学习环境，负责六所学校校区和学区办公室的建筑维护、景观美化和保洁服务，还介绍了各团队职责及重视安全的计划。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Maintenance Team部分中“Our maintenance team is responsible for keeping all electrical, lighting, doors and windows, mechanical, HVAC units, and other equipment in good working order.(我们的维修团队负责保持所有电气，照明，门窗，机械，暖通空调设备和其他设备处于良好的工作状态)”可知，维护团队负责保证所有电气、照明、门窗、机械、暖通空调设备和其他设备正常运转，所以教室电脑突然停止工作应联系维护团队，C选项正确。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The safety of the children, employees, and volunteers is what the Cambrian School District mainly cares about.(孩子们、员工和志愿者的安全是寒武纪学区最关心的)”可知，儿童、员工和志愿者的安全是寒武纪学区的首要任务。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判读题。根据第一段“The Buildings & Grounds Department is committed to creating and maintaining (维护) an outstanding learning environment for our students and the professionals that serve them. Our department takes care of our six school campuses and the district office.(建筑与场地部门致力于为我们的学生和为他们服务的专业人员创造和维护一个良好的学习环境。我们部门负责管理我们的六个校区和地区办事处)”可知，本文主要介绍了学校的建筑与场地部门的职责、各团队工作内容以及学校的伤害和疾病预防计划，与学校相关，最有可能在学校报纸上读到，A选项正确。故选A。 B The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Chloe was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises (妥协). As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar. 24. How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her? A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Sad. 25. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3? A. Chloe’s travel experiences. B. Chloe’s joy of travel. C. Chloe’s bravery during her travels. D. Chloe’s impression on travel. 26. What did Chloe do for high school education after returning home? A. Chloe got an award in high school. B. Chloe applied for a school in Africa. C. Chloe finished high school in Vancouver. D. Chloe went on travelling in Southern Africa. 27. What can we draw from the text? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Parents are the best teachers. C. Travel shapes a person. D. Life is like a journey. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了一位母亲与女儿Chloe之间因旅行而产生的成长故事。起初，Chloe对母亲独自出行感到不解和伤心，但后来母女俩开始共同旅行，这些经历激发了Chloe的勇气、领导欲和对全球视角的理解。随着Chloe长大，她选择去非洲完成高中学业，这段经历使她变得更加成熟独立，让母亲意识到角色转换，现在轮到她送别自己的孩子。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried.(我的女儿克洛伊第一次意识到我要独自外出旅行而不带她一起时，她感到非常惊慌。“既然你要离开我不管不顾，那当初为什么还要让我存在呢？”她哭喊道)”可知，Chloe第一次意识到她的妈妈将不带她出去旅行时，她感到伤心。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.(她六岁那年，我们去了墨西哥的里维埃拉玛雅。看到她在天然井中游泳或沿着珊瑚礁潜水时那乐观而无所畏惧的样子，我深受触动。在斐济，九岁的克洛伊被我们遇到的富有同情心的女性酋长所吸引，并决定要成为一名领导者。在她13岁时去斯里兰卡的旅行中，她了解到出生国的随机选择会如何影响一个人的人生机遇)”可知，第三段主要介绍了Chloe的旅行经历。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.(当我们结束旅行，回到温哥华送女儿去上高中时，得知她另有打算其实并不令人意外。经过数月的面试，克洛伊终于获得了在南部非洲的Waterford Kamhlaba 联合世界学院完成高中学业的资格，听到这个消息时她显得非常兴奋)”可知，Chloe回到温哥华的家中接受高中教育时，经过面试，Chloe获得了在南部非洲Waterford Kamhlaba联合世界学院完成高中学业的机会。因此，Chloe回到温哥华后，申请了在非洲的一所学校。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.(但正是在那次机场的道别时刻，我才意识到轮到我被留在这里了。与那个傻乎乎的17岁的自己相比，那个从非洲高中毕业、后来又从法国大学毕业、回到家乡的21岁女子，显得成熟而陌生)”以及文章描述了旅行如何影响和塑造了Chloe的性格和人生观，表达了旅行对一个人的塑造作用。 C Seeing terror films is typically a harmless activity. But the fear it generates can cause the body’s fight-or-flight system-releasing chemicals into the body and causing a number of physiological responses. Our body’s fear response is actually a fantastic tool for survival in dangerous situations because it kicks in fast, makes us full of energy, heightens our focus, strengthens our muscles, and gets us ready to handle whatever is coming at us. It’s a built-in survival mechanism, which has been with us since our ancient ancestors. But even as it helped our ancient ancestors escape from tigers and keeps us out of harm today, activating the body’s fear response isn’t always a good thing. If it’s initiated too often with constant stress or frequent jump scares, it can wear our bodies down. The body’s fear response, or fight-or-flight response, always begins in the amygdala — a part of the brain’s system that’s critical for recognizing threats and processing emotions. After it detects a threat, the amygdala sends a distress signal to a command center in the brain, which tells the nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters (荷尔蒙和神经递质). Research shows that these hormones and neurotransmitters work together to quicken your breathing and to make your heart send oxygen-rich blood faster to your muscles and vital organs. This prepares the muscles and brain to rapidly set up a threat response. Indeed, when stress hormones are released too often or for long periods of time, it can wear your body down. In some people, it can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, heart problems and digestive issues, because your body is constantly in “high alarm mode”. Another consideration is that our immediate biological response to fear is the same whether we’re facing true danger — or something that only appears that way. Overexposure to jump scares can make you less sensitive to fear. So people who enjoy terror films regularly might not react as strongly to real danger because their brain gets used to these situations. 28. Why are ancient ancestors mentioned? A. To admire their quick response to fear. B. To show body’s fear response is inborn. C. To introduce tough living conditions in ancient days. D. To demonstrate how they survived the scary situations. 29. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By listing data. B. By giving examples. C. By defining and comparing. D. By explaining and analyzing. 30. Which may be the result of watching terror films frequently? A. Getting tired of them. B. Doing good to health. C. Losing interest in other films. D. Being less sensitive to real danger. 31. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Effects of Fear on Brain and Body. B. Fight or Flight? C. An Extreme Entertainment. D. Are Terror Films Harmless? 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了看恐怖电影会产生应激反应，并分析了其产生的原因和危害。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“It’s a built-in survival mechanism, which has been with us since our ancient ancestors.(这是一个内置的生存机制，自我们的古代祖先以来就一直伴随着我们。)可知，提及先人的目的是说明身体对恐惧的反应是天生的，是古人遗传下来的。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The body’s fear response, or fight-or-flight response, always begins in the amygdala — a part of the brain’s system that’s critical for recognizing threats and processing emotions. After it detects a threat, the amygdala sends a distress signal to a command center in the brain, which tells the nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters (荷尔蒙和神经递质). Research shows that these hormones and neurotransmitters work together to quicken your breathing and to make your heart send oxygen-rich blood faster to your muscles and vital organs. This prepares the muscles and brain to rapidly set up a threat response.(人体的恐惧反应，或称“战斗或逃跑”反应，总是始于杏仁核——大脑系统中一个对识别威胁和处理情绪至关重要的部分。在检测到威胁后，杏仁核会向大脑中的一个指挥中心发送求救信号，该指挥中心指示神经系统释放荷尔蒙和神经递质。研究表明，这些荷尔蒙和神经递质协同作用，加快呼吸，使心脏更快地将富含氧气的血液输送到肌肉和重要器官。这为肌肉和大脑迅速建立威胁反应做好了准备。)”可推知，该段从生物学和心理学的角度解释和分析了身体对恐惧的反应是如何产生的。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Overexposure to jump scares can make you less sensitive to fear. So people who enjoy terror films regularly might not re-act as strongly to real danger because their brain gets used to these situations.(过度接触突如其来的惊吓会使你对恐惧变得不那么敏感。因此，经常看恐怖片的人可能对真实的危险反应不那么强烈，因为他们的大脑已经习惯了这种情境。)”可知，过度看恐怖电影会使人对真正的危险失去敏感度。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了恐惧会对人脑和身体造成的影响及其原因。由此可推知，A项：Effects of Fear on Brain and Body.(恐惧对大脑和身体的影响。)最适合作文章标题。故选 A。 D Scientists with the BrainGate research center have developed a breakthrough brain-computer interface (BCI). The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which leads to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, transforming them into text that is read aloud by a computer. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 14, was led by David Brandman and Serge y Stavisky, faculty members at UC Davis Health. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. BCI technology can restore communication for those affected. In this study, Casey Harrell, a 45-year-old man with ALS, regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the system. Harrell described the experience as life-changing, saying, “My past condition was so demoralizing. Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped. Something like this technology will help people get back into life and society.” The BrainGate clinical trial, led by Dr. Leigh Hochberg from Brown University, has made major progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis (瘫痪) communicate. In July 2023, the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell’s brain, focusing on the left precentral gyrus, a part of the brain that controls speech. The system translates brain activity into phonemes (音素) and words, enabling real-time communication. Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way. Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use, the system achieved remarkable results, with 99.6% accuracy for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2% accuracy for a 125,000-word vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours. “This is transformative technology,” Brandman said. “It provides hope for people who want to speak but can’t.” Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis. 32. What do we know about the BrainGate BCI? A. It translates brain signals into speech. B. It is used to treat speech disabilities. C. It helps people with ALS move and speak. D. It connects brains to make computers smarter. 33. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Eye-opening. B. Demanding. C. Comforting. D. Discouraging. 34. Why was Harrell’s pre-ALS voice used to compose the speech? A. To enable his communication in real time. B. To improve the accuracy of speech translation. C. To make his speech emotionally meaningful. D. To help interpret his brain signals more easily. 35. What is Dr. John Ngai’s attitude towards the BrainGate BCI? A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了BrainGate研究中心的科学家们开发的一种突破性的脑机接口（BCI）系统，旨在帮助因渐冻症（ALS） 等疾病导致言语障碍的人恢复交流能力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which lead to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, transforming them into text that is read aloud by a computer. (该系统旨在为因肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）等疾病导致行动能力和言语能力逐渐丧失的患者恢复交流能力。它利用植入的传感器来解读用户尝试说话时的大脑信号，并将这些信号转换成文本，最后由计算机朗读出来)”可知，BrainGate BCI系统的主要功能是将大脑信号转化为语音，帮助那些因疾病失去言语能力的人恢复交流能力。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped. (无法交流就像被困住了一样)”可知，哈雷尔过去因为无法交流而感到非常沮丧和受挫，由此可知，划线单词demoralizing意思是“使沮丧的、使失去信心的”，与D项Discouraging意思相近。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way. (哈雷尔的脑机接口使用在他患上ALS之前的语音样本训练的软件，生成了与他自己的声音相似的语音。这使他能够以非常个人化的方式与亲人交流)”可知，用哈雷尔患ALS前的声音来组成语音是为了使他能够以非常个人化的、富有情感意义的方式与亲人交流。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis. (美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）脑研究计划（BRAIN Initiative） 主任约翰·奈博士强调，这一里程碑是恢复瘫痪患者交流能力的重要一步)”可知，Dr. John Ngai认为BrainGate BCI是恢复瘫痪患者交流能力的重要一步，这表明他对BrainGate BCI持支持态度。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Bird-watching, or “birding”, is a very popular hobby these days — and it’s a fantastic way of getting outside and connecting with nature. ____36____ What you will need?

It was a summer afternoon when I was in primary school. My grandfather, noticing my growing interest in Chinese culture, invited me to his study. He carefully took out his precious calligraphy set and said, “Today, I will teach you the art of Chinese calligraphy.” At first, I found it extremely challenging. The brush seemed to have a mind of its own, and the Chinese characters that I wrote were far from the beautiful and elegant ones I had seen in books or on the wall of my grandpa’s study. My wrist would ache after just a few minutes of holding the brush, and the ink would often mess up the paper. But my grandfather was patient. He adjusted my sitting posture and guided my hand, showing me how to control the brush with just the right amount of pressure. He told me stories about famous calligraphers in Chinese history and explained the cultural significance behind each stroke (笔画). As time went on, I went abroad for my high school education. While I was engaged in my schooling, I kept practicing Chinese calligraphy for an hour or two every day. Gradually, I began to notice improvements in my writing. I didn’t feel the pain in my hand any longer and the characters became more balanced and graceful. I also started to learn about the different styles of Chinese calligraphy, such as the bold and vigorous style of Kai Shu and the flowing and dynamic style of XingShu. I was amazed by the beauty, the elegance and the rich cultural heritage embedded in each style. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150 左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. Students from different countries came together to share their cultures. I saw it as a great opportunity to share Chinese culture. I set up a small calligraphy station and demonstrated the art of Chinese calligraphy to my foreign friends. At first, they were hesitant, but as I explained the meaning and technique behind each stroke, they became more interested. Some even tried it themselves and were amazed at how difficult yet rewarding it was. Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. By sharing my passion for Chinese calligraphy, I was able to introduce others to the beauty and depth of Chinese culture. It made me proud of my cultural roots and motivated me to continue learning and sharing. Now, I often participate in various cultural exchange activities and also use social media to share my calligraphy works and stories. I hope that through my small efforts, more people around the world will come to appreciate and love Chinese culture as I do. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者回忆自己小时候在爷爷的教导下学习中国书法的经历，从最初的困难重重到逐渐掌握技巧，再到出国后仍坚持练习并了解不同书法风格，最终在一次国际文化交流活动中展示中国书法并收获颇丰的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“一天，我的学校举办了一场国际文化交流活动。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何在国际文化交流活动中展示中国书法，向外国朋友展示和讲解中国书法，以及外国朋友的反应。 ②由第二段首句“通过这次经历，我意识到了分享的力量。”可知，第二段可描写这次经历带给作者的感悟，包括对文化分享意义的理解、对自身文化根源的自豪，未来继续分享中国文化的决心及愿景。 2.续写线索：参与国际文化交流活动——展示书法，介绍魅力——他人反应——感悟分享的意义——未来行动的决心及愿景 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①设立：set up/establish ②展示：demonstrate/showcase ③参与：participate in/take part in ④介绍：introduce/present ⑤激发：motivate/inspire 情感类： ①自豪：proud/honored/fulfilled ②欣赏：appreciate/admire 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

B The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Chloe was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises (妥协). As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar. 24. How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her? A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Sad. 25. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3? A. Chloe’s travel experiences. B. Chloe’s joy of travel. C. Chloe’s bravery during her travels. D. Chloe’s impression on travel. 26. What did Chloe do for high school education after returning home? A. Chloe got an award in high school. B. Chloe applied for a school in Africa. C. Chloe finished high school in Vancouver. D. Chloe went on travelling in Southern Africa. 27. What can we draw from the text? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Parents are the best teachers. C. Travel shapes a person. D. Life is like a journey. C Seeing terror films is typically a harmless activity. But the fear it generates can cause the body’s fight-or-flight system-releasing chemicals into the body and causing a number of physiological responses. Our body’s fear response is actually a fantastic tool for survival in dangerous situations because it kicks in fast, makes us full of energy, heightens our focus, strengthens our muscles, and gets us ready to handle whatever is coming at us. It’s a built-in survival mechanism, which has been with us since our ancient ancestors. But even as it helped our ancient ancestors escape from tigers and keeps us out of harm today, activating the body’s fear response isn’t always a good thing. If it’s initiated too often with constant stress or frequent jump scares, it can wear our bodies down. The body’s fear response, or fight-or-flight response, always begins in the amygdala — a part of the brain’s system that’s critical for recognizing threats and processing emotions. After it detects a threat, the amygdala sends a distress signal to a command center in the brain, which tells the nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters (荷尔蒙和神经递质). Research shows that these hormones and neurotransmitters work together to quicken your breathing and to make your heart send oxygen-rich blood faster to your muscles and vital organs. This prepares the muscles and brain to rapidly set up a threat response. Indeed, when stress hormones are released too often or for long periods of time, it can wear your body down. In some people, it can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, heart problems and digestive issues, because your body is constantly in “high alarm mode”. Another consideration is that our immediate biological response to fear is the same whether we’re facing true danger — or something that only appears that way. Overexposure to jump scares can make you less sensitive to fear. So people who enjoy terror films regularly might not react as strongly to real danger because their brain gets used to these situations. 28. Why are ancient ancestors mentioned? A. To admire their quick response to fear. B. To show body’s fear response is inborn. C. To introduce tough living conditions in ancient days. D. To demonstrate how they survived the scary situations. 29. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By listing data. B. By giving examples. C. By defining and comparing. D. By explaining and analyzing. 30. Which may be the result of watching terror films frequently? A. Getting tired of them. B. Doing good to health. C. Losing interest in other films. D. Being less sensitive to real danger. 31. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Effects of Fear on Brain and Body. B. Fight or Flight? C. An Extreme Entertainment. D. Are Terror Films Harmless? D Scientists with the BrainGate research center have developed a breakthrough brain-computer interface (BCI). The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which leads to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, transforming them into text that is read aloud by a computer. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 14, was led by David Brandman and Serge y Stavisky, faculty members at UC Davis Health. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. BCI technology can restore communication for those affected. In this study, Casey Harrell, a 45-year-old man with ALS, regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the system. Harrell described the experience as life-changing, saying, “My past condition was so demoralizing. Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped. Something like this technology will help people get back into life and society.” The BrainGate clinical trial, led by Dr. Leigh Hochberg from Brown University, has made major progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis (瘫痪) communicate. In July 2023, the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell’s brain, focusing on the left precentral gyrus, a part of the brain that controls speech. The system translates brain activity into phonemes (音素) and words, enabling real-time communication. Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way. Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use, the system achieved remarkable results, with 99.6% accuracy for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2% accuracy for a 125,000-word vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours. “This is transformative technology,” Brandman said. “It provides hope for people who want to speak but can’t.” Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis. 32. What do we know about the BrainGate BCI? A. It translates brain signals into speech. B. It is used to treat speech disabilities. C. It helps people with ALS move and speak. D. It connects brains to make computers smarter. 33. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Eye-opening. B. Demanding. C. Comforting. D. Discouraging. 34. Why was Harrell’s pre-ALS voice used to compose the speech? A. To enable his communication in real time. B. To improve the accuracy of speech translation. C. To make his speech emotionally meaningful. D. To help interpret his brain signals more easily. 35. What is Dr. John Ngai’s attitude towards the BrainGate BCI? A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Bird-watching, or “birding”, is a very popular hobby these days — and it’s a fantastic way of getting outside and connecting with nature. ____36____ What you will need? When you start, the only thing you really need is some way of identifying the birds that you see. A good field guide will have photos, pictures and descriptions to assist you in identifying birds. Of course, you might prefer to use some apps on your phone. ____37____ Where to go? The great thing about bird-watching is that you can start just in your garden or street, or in a local park. ____38____ Unusual plants grow there, and they are also good places for different species of birds because there is lots of food and water for them and safe places where they can rest. How to observe? It’s always best to look for birds in the early morning or late afternoon, because this is when they are most active. When you see a bird, make some notes about its colour or shape before it flies away. Draw the pictures of birds and copy the songs of them. Is it alone or in a group? ____39____ How does it fly? Can you hear its call or song? Where is it — in a tree or on the ground, and in what kind of habitat? Then check your field guide or app. ____40____ Birds are always looking for predators (掠食动物), so be very quiet when you are birdwatching, and don’t wear brightly-coloured clothes that may frighten them. Never go too close to a bird, especially when it is making a nest or feeding the young. A. What is it eating? B. What to remember? C. So how can you get started? D. Make some simple observations. E. That’s why you should watch birds. F. But wetlands, perhaps, are perfect places. G. They can have recordings of birds’ calls, which is of great help. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I picked up my phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.

It was a summer afternoon when I was in primary school. My grandfather, noticing my growing interest in Chinese culture, invited me to his study. He carefully took out his precious calligraphy set and said, “Today, I will teach you the art of Chinese calligraphy.” At first, I found it extremely challenging. The brush seemed to have a mind of its own, and the Chinese characters that I wrote were far from the beautiful and elegant ones I had seen in books or on the wall of my grandpa’s study. My wrist would ache after just a few minutes of holding the brush, and the ink would often mess up the paper. But my grandfather was patient. He adjusted my sitting posture and guided my hand, showing me how to control the brush with just the right amount of pressure. He told me stories about famous calligraphers in Chinese history and explained the cultural significance behind each stroke (笔画). As time went on, I went abroad for my high school education. While I was engaged in my schooling, I kept practicing Chinese calligraphy for an hour or two every day. Gradually, I began to notice improvements in my writing. I didn’t feel the pain in my hand any longer and the characters became more balanced and graceful. I also started to learn about the different styles of Chinese calligraphy, such as the bold and vigorous style of Kai Shu and the flowing and dynamic style of XingShu. I was amazed by the beauty, the elegance and the rich cultural heritage embedded in each style. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150 左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
