一、阅读理解
Passage A
In 1665,a young man sat in a garden.He watched an apple fall from a tree.This simple observation led
to one of the most important discoveries in science:the law ofuniversal gravitation.The man was Isaac
Newton
Newton's discovery did not happen overnight.For years,scientists had been puzzled by the movements
of planets.Why did the Moon orbit the Earth?Why did the planets move around the Sun?Newton
realized that the same force that pulled the apple to the ground also kept the Moon in its orbit.He
calculated that the force of gravity decreases with distance.This was a revolutionary idea.Suddenly,the
laws of motion that governed life on Earth also explained the motions of the heavens.It was a moment of
profound unity in physics.
However,the story of gravity does not end with Newton.In the early 20th century,another brilliant mind
took the theory further.Albert Einstein proposed that gravity is not a force in the traditional sense.Instead,
it is a curvature of space and time caused by mass and energy.Imagine a heavy ball placed on a stretched
rubber sheet.The sheet bends.If you roll a smaller ball near it,the small ball will follow a curved path
toward the large one.That curved path in space-time is what we experience as gravity.This theory,
general relativity,has been confirmed by many experiments,including the observation of light bending
around the Sun.
Einstein's theory did not replace Newton's;it expanded it.Newton's laws remain remarkably accurate for
everyday situations.We use them to launch rockets and build bridges.But if you want to understand
black holes,the expansion of the universe,or the precise functioning of GPS satellites,you need
Einstein's more complete theory.GPS satellites,for example,must adjust for the fact that time moves
slightly faster in orbit than on Earth.This is a direct consequence of Einstein's theory
The evolution of our understanding ofgravity teaches us a valuable lesson about science.Science is not a
collection of fixed truths.It is a process of continuous improvement.Newton's apple and Einstein's
thought experiments both represent moments of insight that changed the world.Each new theory builds
on the last,explaining more phenomena and asking new questions.The story of gravity reminds us that
the universe is full of mysteries waiting to be explored,and that the next great discovery might come from
a simple observation,just like a falling apple.
()1.What inspired Newton to think about the law of gravity?
A.The movement of the Moon.
B.The curvature of space-time
C.A falling apple in a garden
D.The calculations of earlier scientists.
()2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A.Newton discovered gravity after years of research.
B.The Moon's orbit is not related to gravity
C.Many scientists had solved the puzzle of planetary motion.
D.Newton's theory only applied to objects on Earth.
()3.According to Einstein's theory,gravity is caused by
A.a mysterious force in nature
B.the rotation of the Earth
C.the weight of an object
D.the bending of space and time
()4.The example of GPS satellites is used to show that
A.Newton's laws are completely wrong
B.Einstein's theory is not very useful in daily life
C.Einstein's theory is necessary for some modern technologies
D.time travel is possible according to general relativity
()5.What lesson does the story ofgravity teach us about science?
A.Scientific truths never change.
B.Only geniuses can make discoveries.
C.Science is a process of constant progress.
D.Simple observations are not important for science.
Passage B
Imagine a world without screens,keyboards,or touchpads.You interact with your computer simply by
thinking.This may sound like science fiction,but researchers around the world are working hard to make
brain-computer interfaces(BCIs)a reality.BCIs create a direct communication path between the brain
and an external device,allowing thoughts to control machines
The technology works by detecting the electrical signals produced by neurons in the brain.When you
think about moving your hand,for example,specific patterns of electrical activity are generated.A BCI
system,often involving a cap with electrodes or a chip implanted in the brain,can read these signals.With
the help of machine learning algorithms,the system interprets the signals and translates them into
commands for a computer,a robotic arm,or even a wheelchair.
One of the most promising applications of BCIs is in the field of medicine.For people who have lost the
ability to move or speak due to conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS (a disease that affects nerve
cells),BCIs offer the possibility of a new life.Patients have already used BCIs to type messages,control
robotic limbs,and even regain some sense of touch.In one experiment,a paralyzed man was able to feed
himselfusing a robotic arm controlled by his thoughts.
However,significant challenges remain.The current technology is often slow and imprecise.Implanting
devices in the brain carries risks of infection and damage.Furthermore,there are serious ethical questions
to consider.If a person's brain can be connected to a computer,who owns the data that is being read?
Could the technology be used to influence a person's thoughts or memories?These are not just questions
for scientists and engineers,they are questions for all of society.
Despite these challenges,the field is advancing rapidly.Tech companies are investing billions of dollars in
BCI research.Some predict that within a few decades,BCIs could become as common as smartphones.
We may eventually be able to download information directly into our brains,communicate with others by
thought alone,or enhance our cognitive abilities.The line between human and machine will become
increasingly blurred.
The future of BCIs is both exciting and uncertain.It holds incredible promise for improving human life,
but it also warns ofnew dangers.As we move closer to this technology,it is crucial to proceed with
caution.We must ensure that the development of BCIs is guided by strong ethical principles,so that this
powerful technology serves the good of humanity,not just the profit of a few.
()1.What does the underlined word interfaces"in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Battles.
B.Connections
C.Baniers.
D.Conflicts.
()2.How does a basic BCI system work?
A.It reads electrical signals from the brain and translates them.
B.It uses cameras to track eye movements.
C.It requires users to speak commands aloud.
D.It sends electrical signals to the brain to create thoughts.
()3.According to the article,what is a major benefit of BCIs?
A.They can make computers faster.
B.They can help people with physical disabilities.
C.They can make machine leamning algorithms cheaper.
D.They can completely cure diseases like ALS.
()4.What is a potential danger of BCIs mentioned in the text?
A.The technology is too expensive for most people
B.People might lose their jobs to robots.
C.The technology could be used to steal personal thoughts
D.Users might become addicted to the devices.
()5.What is the author's attitude toward the future of BCI technology?
A.Completely opposed to it.
B.Strongly supportive without any doubt.
C.Hopeful but cautious.
D.Indifferent and uninterested.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
In the 19th century,the idea that diseases were caused by invisible living things was not widely accepted
Many doctors still believed that illnesses were caused by 'bad air"or an imbalance in the body's
"humors."A Hungarian doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis observed something shocking in his hospital in
Vienna.The maternity ward,where women gave birth,had a death rate from childbed fever that was
three times higher than the second maternity ward.The only major difference was that the first ward was
staffed by doctors and medical students,while the second was staffed by midwives.
Semmelweis noticed that doctors often performed autopsies on dead women in the morning and then
went directly to the maternity ward to examine living patients without washing their hands.He theorized
that"cadaverous particles"from the dead bodies were being caried on the doctors'hands to the new
mothers,causing the deadly fever.He insisted that everyone in the first ward wash their hands with a
chlorinated lime solution before touching any patient.
The results were dramatic.The death rate in the first ward dropped from 18%to almost 1%.Semmelweis
had found a simple and effective way to prevent the disease.However,his ideas were rejected by the
medical establishment.Senior doctors were offended by the suggestion that they were causing the deaths
of their patients.They refused to believe in the existence of germs when they could not see them.
Semmelweis grew increasingly fiustrated and angry.He wrote angry letters to other doctors,calling them
murderers.His behavior became erratic,and he was eventually committed to a mental institution.
Ironically,he died there at the age of 47,from an infection caused by a wound on his hand.It was a
disease he had fought so hard to prevent.It took the later work of Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister,who
developed the"germ theory of disease,"to prove that Semmelweis had been right all along.Today,he is
known as the "savior of mothers."
1.What was the main difference between the two maternity wards in Semmelweis's hospital?
