In the past, the imported makeups(化妆品)shelves in Japan’s department stores were usually dominated(主导)by South Korean makeups. As “Chiborg boom”—Chinese-style makeup becomes popular on social media, Chinese makeups start to make inroads in Japan.
The term “Chiborg” is a Japanese-made word, which is a combination of “China” and “cyborg”, referring to a Chinese beauty so perfect and inhuman that looks like a cyborg. In the eyes of Japanese young women, “Chiborg” usually uses bright colors reminding China’s classical Peking Opera, with a focus on eyes and lips to create a sharp and chiseled(轮廓分明的)look. While Japanese-style makeup always centers around cute and innocent features, Chinese-style makeup gives an appearance that is more elegant, cool and mature.
“Chiborg” began to attract the attention of Japanese young women around 2019, when abundant information on Chinese-style makeup has been circulating on Twitter and Instagram. It spread even more after tutorial videos of Chinese-style makeup were being posted on You-Tube.
Emilin, a Japanese girl who shares information on fashion on YouTube, posted a video on “Chiborg” and harvested more than 2 million views in January this year.
Another blogger called “Shikanoma” explained the unique charm(魅力)of “Chiborg.” “Chinese-style makeup expresses the inner strength and confidence of a person and it feels new. I think the concept of a ‘cool woman’ is becoming widespread in Japan nowadays. I also desire to be a strong-willed woman,” she said.
According to Yueko Nishihara, research planner at Japanese makeup and cosmetics portal site @cosme, nowadays Japanese women tend to emphasize the emotional value of makeups, such as “I am happy to have it” or “It is fun to use”.
Furthermore, Chinese makeups are gradually shaking off the stereotype of cheap, low-quality products, said Saya Hayashi, CEO of Japan Functional Cosmetic Laboratory Co. Ltd. “A few years ago, it was thought that Chinese makeups were mainly aimed at middle and low-income groups, but in the last year or two, there has been an increase in high-price, high-quality makeups, attracting office ladies and high-income customers,” she said.
4．What can we learn from “Chiborg boom”?
A．Korean-style makeups become popular in Japan.
B．Japanese-style makeups become popular in Korea.
C．Chinese-style makeups become popular in Japan.
D．Peking Opera makeups become popular in Korea.
5．How does a woman look when using Japanese-style makeups?
A．Innocent. B．Elegant. C．Cool. D．Mature.
6．Why does “Shikanoma” think “Chiborg” attracts Japanese young women?
A．It makes them sense upset. B．It makes them feel confident.
C．It makes them get fame. D．It makes them post more videos.
7．What can we learn about Chinese makeups from the last paragraphs?
A．They are for low-income customers. B．They used to be expensive.
C．They aim at middle-income people. D．They are for high-income people.
At Serious Readers we understand that the creative mind requires many factors to function properly.
Creativity and inspiration can often strike when we least expent it, and disappear rapidly when we feel we most need it. Inspiration demands attention, at any hour of the day; that’s why Serious Lights use a special technology that allows us to closely replicate (模拟) natural daylight and bring it indoors. This means that wherever you are, and whatever time it is, you can write like you are bathed in a pool of natural sunshine.
“Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river.”— Lisa See
Every author will tell you that the key to becoming a skilled writer is to devote yourself to reading. Reading develops your vocabulary, teaches you narrative structure, and provides a window to worldviews beyond your own. Time spent in front of a page is important for any hopeful wordsmith, and the longer you read, the better prepared you are to write. But many people struggle with reading for long periods of time. They experience blurred vision, headaches, hard concentrating and sore or dry eyes. These are symptoms of what is commonly known as eyestrain (视疲劳). A Serious Light works with your eyes to reduce these symptoms and allow you the freedom to read and write for as long as you desire.
“A writer is a world trapped in a person.”— Victor Hugo
Books often provide us with a sense of freedom. The common phrase “get lost in a book” indicates the sensation of allowing the world around you to fade away while the words on the page become a world inside your head. That feeling of freedom shouldn’t be hampered by tired and sore eyes. Most readers spend the majority of their time under some form of artificial light. This is where the problem starts. Most artificial light sources are not designed with your eyes in mind and will cause your eyes to overstrain and become tired and annoyed much faster. With a Serious Light you will experience sharper text, vivid colour, and breathtaking clarity, allowing you to read and write for as long as you desire.
8．What is the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The advantage of creativity. B．The advantage of inspiration.
C．The function of Serious Lights. D．The function of natural sunshine.
9．What does Lisa See’s words indicate?
A．The importance of reading. B．The method to write a book.
C．The future of their products. D．The ways to be a wordsmith.
10．What does the underlined word “hampered” most probably mean?
A．Explained. B．Directed. C．Satisfied. D．Influenced.
11．What will the text most probably talk about next?
A．Recommend Serious Lights products. B．Offer directions of reading.
C．Introduce some books on Serious Lights. D．Refer to benefits from reading.
Reading people’s minds seems to be a superpower that only exists in movies. But scientists have now made it possible to translate people’s brain waves!
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco developed a new device. It can turn brain waves into words on a screen in front of the user. In the study, they tested it with a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man. “To our knowledge, this is the first successful demonstration (演示) of direct decoding (解码) of full words from the brain of someone who is paralyzed and cannot speak,” said Edward Chang, the senior author of the study. Each year, thousands of people lose the ability to speak due to accidents or diseases. With up to 93 percent accuracy, the new device shows “strong promise” to let these people fully communicate in the future.
One problem with such mind-reading machines, however, is that they have to put electrodes (电极) into people’s brains. It’s inconvenient and has health risks. But scientists from the University of Texas, US, have taken steps to change this. They tried to translate people’s thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.
The new brain scanning technique is called FMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging. It’s a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking this, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the FMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.
In other tests, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. It could even retell a story that the participants imagined in their heads. Although it’s not a word-for-word translation, the technique provides many possibilities.
12．Why did the researchers at the University of California think their test is a success?
A．They could cure the patient. B．They could make the patient speak again.
C．They could create a story. D．They could read the patient’s mind.
13．What is the disadvantage for the mind-reading machine?
A．Inconvenience. B．Mind-reading. C．Algorithm. D．Accuracy.
14．What did the scientists do with the FMRI?
A．Let the patients listen to a radio. B．Made the patient recall a movie.
C．Used an algorithm to explain the minds. D．Told the patient’s experience.
15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Film About Reading Minds B．Reading Minds in Medical Science
C．Developing A New Minds-Reading Way D．Saving One’s Life by Using a New Machine

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了狗和人类的思考是不同的，分别从咀嚼家具、如何吠叫、带给你玩具和来回踱步四个方面详细说明如何了解你的狗在想什么。
16．上文“Dogs see the world through different lenses (视角).(狗通过不同的视角看世界)”说明狗的视角和人不一样；E选项“They do not always mean the same as we humans do(它们的意思并不总是和我们人类一样)”指出狗表达的意思与人类不同，与上文阐述的意思一致，选项中的代词“They”指代上文的“Dogs”；下文“Do you want to know what your dog is thinking at all times? If so, keep reading to figure out what they have on their minds! (你想时刻知道你的狗在想什么吗？如果是这样，请继续阅读，看看它们在想什么！)”承接上文狗和人类的视角和思维是不同的，引出文章的主题；由此可知，E选项符合语境。故选E。
17．文章结构分析可知设空处描述小狗的某种举动；根据下文“Pups (小狗) have a habit of chewing on things during the teething time.(小狗在出牙期有啃咬东西的习惯)”可知此段主要阐述小狗啃咬东西的原因；B选项“Furniture chewing(啃咬家具)”符合语境，选项中的“Furniture chewing”与下文中“have a habit of chewing on things”表达的意思一致。故选B。
18．根据上文“How they bark. Dogs bark for a lot of reasons. Loud and frequent barks will mean there is an urgent issue (情况). Maybe they could feel danger lurking and want you to know about it. Short and soft ones, however, mean that they feel playful.(它们怎么叫。狗叫有很多原因。大声而频繁的吠叫意味着有紧急的问题。也许它们感觉到了潜伏的危险，想让你知道。然而，短而柔软的吠叫意味着它们感觉很好玩)”可知本段介绍的是狗的不同叫声分别意味着什么；G选项“Loud barks could mean they feel in pain, so make sure to pay attention to them(大声的吠叫可能意味着它们感到疼痛，所以一定要关注它们)”符合语境。故选G。
19．根据上文“A theory says that this is their way to please their human.(有理论认为，这是它们取悦人类的方式)”以及下文“They trust you so much that they want you to have their prized object. (它们非常信任你，想让你拥有它们最珍贵的东西)”可知狗把玩具给你表示狗非常信任你。C选项“It might be that they want to show you their trust(也许它们想向你表示它们的信任)”符合语境，选项中的“show you their trust”与下文“They trust you”表达意思一致。故选C。
20．根据上文“Pacing back and forth. Is your dog pacing? Well, it probably means that they are excited, nervous, or bored. (来回踱步。你的狗在踱步吗？嗯，这可能意味着它们很兴奋、紧张或无聊)”可知，狗的行为是一种肢体语言，表达了它们的情绪；由下文“When they go around in circles, it likely means that they want to play. It is similar to the way dogs greet each other upon first meeting.(当它们转圈圈时，可能意味着它们想玩。这和狗狗第一次见面打招呼的方式很相似)”可知狗运用它的肢体动作来表达它的意图；D选项“However, they also use their bodies to communicate(然而，它们也用他们的身体来交流)”与上文构成递进关系，说明狗的肢体动作也是肢体语言，从中不仅可以看出它们的情绪，也可以了解它们想要表达的信息；由此可知，D选项符合语境。故选D。

41．考查时态及主谓一致。句意：在中国，大多数人认为拥有大眼睛、双眼皮、细腰和白皙的皮肤是美丽的。句子分析可知，设空处在that引导的宾语从句中作谓语动词，根据句意以及主句谓语动词think可知，该从句陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，从句中having large eyes, double eyelids, a thin waist and white skin作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
42．考查名词。句意：但那只是外表。根据句意及空前定冠词the可知，空处应填名词作表语，名词appearance“外貌，外表”符合句意。故填appearance。
43．考查动词不定式。句意：我奶奶告诉我，在广场上跳舞时，戴上五颜六色的头巾，对每个人都灿烂地微笑是很美的。分析句子可知，此处为It is/was+adj+to do sth句式，表示“做某事是……的”，it作形式主语，后面的动词不定式短语为真正的主语。故填to wear。
44．考查副词。句意：我奶奶告诉我，在广场上跳舞时，戴上五颜六色的头巾，对每个人都灿烂地微笑是很美的。设空处修饰动词smile，应用副词brightly作状语。故填brightly。

46．考查介词。句意：我的老师说中国是一个古老的礼仪国家，我们的美在干优雅和尊严。动词短语lie in“在于”符合句意，故空处应填介词in。故填in。

48．考查过去分词。句意：相比于中国人，他们认为温柔和体贴是美丽的，西方人可能更喜欢坚强和自信。分析句子可知，空处应用非谓语动词作状语，动词compare与逻辑主语western people之间为被动关系，填compare过去分词compared；设空处位于句首，首字母大写，故填Compared。
49．考查副词。句意：然而，人们的审美总是在变化，文化的交流也会相互影响。根据句意可知，设空前后为转折关系，空后有逗号，副词however“然而；不过”符合句意；设空处位于句首，首字母大写，故填However。
50．考查时态。句意：只有我们接受各种关于美的观念，世界才会变得美丽。本句为含有条件状语从句的主从复合句，设空处在主句中作谓语动词，从句“only if we accept all kinds of ideas about beauty”为一般现在时，主句应用一般将来时，故填will become。

5.see前加to 6.him→her； 7.去掉for； 8.which→that 9.and→but 10.real→really
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和同学去Flower Planet参加团体活动的经历。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：11月4日，我们坐公交车去了Flower Planet，参加了一些团体活动。根据时间状语on Nov 4th可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时，故take改为took。
2.考查固定短语。句意：过了一会儿，盘子里装满了我们做的不同大小和风格的馄饨。be filled with“装满”，固定短语，故filling改为filled。
3.考查可数名词的复数。句意：我的一个同学把装着馄饨的盘子拿到厨房开始煮馄饨。classmate“同学”是可数名词，one of...意为“……之一”，其后应用可数名词复数，故classmate改为classmates。
4.考查冠词。句意：我的一个同学把装着馄饨的盘子拿到厨房开始煮馄饨。根据语境可知，此处为特指，故应用定冠词the表示特指，故kitchen前的a改为the。
5.考查动词不定式。句意：当她端着盘子回来时，我们是如此渴望看我们的劳动成果，以至于我们都聚集在她周围，并立刻感到了饥饿。be eager to do sth.“渴望做某事”，故此处应用动词不定式，故see前加to。
6.考查人称代词。句意：当她端着盘子回来时，我们是如此渴望看我们的劳动成果，以至于我们都聚集在她周围，并立刻感到了饥饿。根据语境可知，此处代指前文提到的那位同学，根据从句she可知，那位同学为女性，故应用her“她”作宾语，故him改为her。
7.考查介词。句意：我们迫不及待地想把馄饨放进嘴里。根据句意表示“迫不及待地做某事”，应用短语can't wait to do sth.，介词for多余，故去掉for。
8.考查固定句型。句意：我吃得如此匆忙，以至于什么味道都没尝到，但我仍然吃得非常高兴。分析可知，此处使用了“such...that...”这一固定句型，表示“如此……以至于……”，故which改为that。
9.考查连词。句意：我吃得如此匆忙，以至于什么味道都没尝到，但我仍然吃得非常高兴。根据句意可知，前后文之间是转折关系，而非并列关系，故应用but连接，故and改为but。
10.考查副词。句意：这真是一次有意义的旅行。分析可知，此处应用副词really作状语，修饰be动词was，故real改为really。

In the past, the imported makeups(化妆品)shelves in Japan’s department stores were usually dominated(主导)by South Korean makeups. As “Chiborg boom”—Chinese-style makeup becomes popular on social media, Chinese makeups start to make inroads in Japan.
The term “Chiborg” is a Japanese-made word, which is a combination of “China” and “cyborg”, referring to a Chinese beauty so perfect and inhuman that looks like a cyborg. In the eyes of Japanese young women, “Chiborg” usually uses bright colors reminding China’s classical Peking Opera, with a focus on eyes and lips to create a sharp and chiseled(轮廓分明的)look. While Japanese-style makeup always centers around cute and innocent features, Chinese-style makeup gives an appearance that is more elegant, cool and mature.
“Chiborg” began to attract the attention of Japanese young women around 2019, when abundant information on Chinese-style makeup has been circulating on Twitter and Instagram. It spread even more after tutorial videos of Chinese-style makeup were being posted on You-Tube.
Emilin, a Japanese girl who shares information on fashion on YouTube, posted a video on “Chiborg” and harvested more than 2 million views in January this year.
Another blogger called “Shikanoma” explained the unique charm(魅力)of “Chiborg.” “Chinese-style makeup expresses the inner strength and confidence of a person and it feels new. I think the concept of a ‘cool woman’ is becoming widespread in Japan nowadays. I also desire to be a strong-willed woman,” she said.
According to Yueko Nishihara, research planner at Japanese makeup and cosmetics portal site @cosme, nowadays Japanese women tend to emphasize the emotional value of makeups, such as “I am happy to have it” or “It is fun to use”.
Furthermore, Chinese makeups are gradually shaking off the stereotype of cheap, low-quality products, said Saya Hayashi, CEO of Japan Functional Cosmetic Laboratory Co. Ltd. “A few years ago, it was thought that Chinese makeups were mainly aimed at middle and low-income groups, but in the last year or two, there has been an increase in high-price, high-quality makeups, attracting office ladies and high-income customers,” she said.
4．What can we learn from “Chiborg boom”?
A．Korean-style makeups become popular in Japan.
B．Japanese-style makeups become popular in Korea.
C．Chinese-style makeups become popular in Japan.
D．Peking Opera makeups become popular in Korea.
5．How does a woman look when using Japanese-style makeups?
A．Innocent. B．Elegant. C．Cool. D．Mature.
6．Why does “Shikanoma” think “Chiborg” attracts Japanese young women?
A．It makes them sense upset. B．It makes them feel confident.
C．It makes them get fame. D．It makes them post more videos.
7．What can we learn about Chinese makeups from the last paragraphs?
A．They are for low-income customers. B．They used to be expensive.
C．They aim at middle-income people. D．They are for high-income people.
At Serious Readers we understand that the creative mind requires many factors to function properly.
Creativity and inspiration can often strike when we least expent it, and disappear rapidly when we feel we most need it. Inspiration demands attention, at any hour of the day; that’s why Serious Lights use a special technology that allows us to closely replicate (模拟) natural daylight and bring it indoors. This means that wherever you are, and whatever time it is, you can write like you are bathed in a pool of natural sunshine.
“Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river.”— Lisa See
Every author will tell you that the key to becoming a skilled writer is to devote yourself to reading. Reading develops your vocabulary, teaches you narrative structure, and provides a window to worldviews beyond your own. Time spent in front of a page is important for any hopeful wordsmith, and the longer you read, the better prepared you are to write. But many people struggle with reading for long periods of time. They experience blurred vision, headaches, hard concentrating and sore or dry eyes. These are symptoms of what is commonly known as eyestrain (视疲劳). A Serious Light works with your eyes to reduce these symptoms and allow you the freedom to read and write for as long as you desire.
“A writer is a world trapped in a person.”— Victor Hugo
Books often provide us with a sense of freedom. The common phrase “get lost in a book” indicates the sensation of allowing the world around you to fade away while the words on the page become a world inside your head. That feeling of freedom shouldn’t be hampered by tired and sore eyes. Most readers spend the majority of their time under some form of artificial light. This is where the problem starts. Most artificial light sources are not designed with your eyes in mind and will cause your eyes to overstrain and become tired and annoyed much faster. With a Serious Light you will experience sharper text, vivid colour, and breathtaking clarity, allowing you to read and write for as long as you desire.
8．What is the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The advantage of creativity. B．The advantage of inspiration.
C．The function of Serious Lights. D．The function of natural sunshine.
9．What does Lisa See’s words indicate?
A．The importance of reading. B．The method to write a book.
C．The future of their products. D．The ways to be a wordsmith.
10．What does the underlined word “hampered” most probably mean?
A．Explained. B．Directed. C．Satisfied. D．Influenced.
11．What will the text most probably talk about next?
A．Recommend Serious Lights products. B．Offer directions of reading.
C．Introduce some books on Serious Lights. D．Refer to benefits from reading.
Reading people’s minds seems to be a superpower that only exists in movies. But scientists have now made it possible to translate people’s brain waves!
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco developed a new device. It can turn brain waves into words on a screen in front of the user. In the study, they tested it with a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man. “To our knowledge, this is the first successful demonstration (演示) of direct decoding (解码) of full words from the brain of someone who is paralyzed and cannot speak,” said Edward Chang, the senior author of the study. Each year, thousands of people lose the ability to speak due to accidents or diseases. With up to 93 percent accuracy, the new device shows “strong promise” to let these people fully communicate in the future.
One problem with such mind-reading machines, however, is that they have to put electrodes (电极) into people’s brains. It’s inconvenient and has health risks. But scientists from the University of Texas, US, have taken steps to change this. They tried to translate people’s thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.
The new brain scanning technique is called FMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging. It’s a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking this, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the FMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.
In other tests, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. It could even retell a story that the participants imagined in their heads. Although it’s not a word-for-word translation, the technique provides many possibilities.
12．Why did the researchers at the University of California think their test is a success?
A．They could cure the patient. B．They could make the patient speak again.
C．They could create a story. D．They could read the patient’s mind.
13．What is the disadvantage for the mind-reading machine?
A．Inconvenience. B．Mind-reading. C．Algorithm. D．Accuracy.
14．What did the scientists do with the FMRI?
A．Let the patients listen to a radio. B．Made the patient recall a movie.
C．Used an algorithm to explain the minds. D．Told the patient’s experience.
15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Film About Reading Minds B．Reading Minds in Medical Science
C．Developing A New Minds-Reading Way D．Saving One’s Life by Using a New Machine

8．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Inspiration demands attention, at any hour of the day; that’s why Serious Lights use a special technology that allows us to closely replicate (模拟) natural daylight and bring it indoors. This means that wherever you are, and whatever time it is, you can write like you are bathed in a pool of natural sunshine.(灵感需要关注，在一天中的任何时候；这就是为什么Serious Lights使用一种特殊的技术，让我们能够相似地复制自然光，并把它带到室内。这意味着无论你在哪里，什么时间，你都可以像沐浴在自然的阳光中一样写作)”可知，本段主要介绍了Serious Lights的功能，即可以复制自然光，使得在写作需要灵感爆发的时候，能够获得像沐浴在自然光里一样的感觉。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们现在已经使翻译人们的脑电波成为可能。FMRI装置具有极高的精确度，通过追踪脑细胞的氧气“读取”人们的思想，甚至可以用来复述参与者的所见所闻。
12．推理判断题。第二段提到“In the study, they tested it with a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man. “To our knowledge, this is the first successful demonstration (演示) of direct decoding (解码) of full words from the brain of someone who is paralyzed and cannot speak,” said Edward Chang, the senior author of the study. ”（在这项研究中，他们对一个瘫痪的人进行了测试。“据我们所知，这是第一次成功地从瘫痪不能说话的人的大脑中直接解码完整的单词，”该研究的资深作者爱德华·张说。）该研究的研究人员提到他们在一名瘫痪人员的大脑中解码了一个完整的单词，由此判断他们认为这个实验是成功的，因为可以读取病人的思想。故选D。
13．细节理解题。第三段提到“One problem with such mind-reading machines, however, is that they have to put electrodes (电极) into people’s brains. It’s inconvenient and has health risks.”（然而，这种读心术机器的一个问题是，它们必须在人的大脑中植入电极。它既不方便又有健康风险。）由此判断，“思维读取”机器的缺点就是不方便。故选A。
14．细节理解题。第四段提到“The new brain scanning technique is called FMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging. It’s a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking this, scientists can translate brain activity.”（这种新的脑部扫描技术被称为功能性磁共振成像（FMRI）。这是一种更安全的“阅读”大脑活动的方式。活跃的脑细胞有更多的氧气。通过追踪这一点，科学家可以翻译大脑活动。），第五段提到“The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the FMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.”（研究小组要求参与者一边听16个小时的广播节目，一边扫描他们的大脑。然后，他们使用计算机算法根据FMRI记录创建一个故事。它与广播节目非常吻合。）和第六段“In other tests, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched.”（在其他测试中，该算法基本上可以解释参与者观看的无声电影的故事。）由此判断，科学家通过追踪参与者听广播节目时的大脑活动，然后用算法来创建一个故事，发现二者非常的吻合，因此科学家是使用算法来解释人的思想。故选C。
15．主旨大意题。第一段提到“Reading people’s minds seems to be a superpower that only exists in movies. But scientists have now made it possible to translate people’s brain waves!”（读心术似乎是一种只存在于电影中的超能力。但是科学家们现在已经可以翻译人们的脑电波了!）第一段总起介绍了科学家们已经可以翻译人们的脑电波活动。第二段和第三段介绍了不太方便且又有健康风险的读心机器，第四五六段则介绍了一种更为安全的功能性磁共振成像（FMRI），这项技术为读取人脑海中的故事提供了一定的可能性。综上所述，本文主要讲述了“读心”方式上的发展。故选C。

3.考查可数名词的复数。句意：我的一个同学把装着馄饨的盘子拿到厨房开始煮馄饨。classmate“同学”是可数名词，one of...意为“……之一”，其后应用可数名词复数，故classmate改为classmates。
4.考查冠词。句意：我的一个同学把装着馄饨的盘子拿到厨房开始煮馄饨。根据语境可知，此处为特指，故应用定冠词the表示特指，故kitchen前的a改为the。
5.考查动词不定式。句意：当她端着盘子回来时，我们是如此渴望看我们的劳动成果，以至于我们都聚集在她周围，并立刻感到了饥饿。be eager to do sth.“渴望做某事”，故此处应用动词不定式，故see前加to。
6.考查人称代词。句意：当她端着盘子回来时，我们是如此渴望看我们的劳动成果，以至于我们都聚集在她周围，并立刻感到了饥饿。根据语境可知，此处代指前文提到的那位同学，根据从句she可知，那位同学为女性，故应用her“她”作宾语，故him改为her。
7.考查介词。句意：我们迫不及待地想把馄饨放进嘴里。根据句意表示“迫不及待地做某事”，应用短语can't wait to do sth.，介词for多余，故去掉for。
8.考查固定句型。句意：我吃得如此匆忙，以至于什么味道都没尝到，但我仍然吃得非常高兴。分析可知，此处使用了“such...that...”这一固定句型，表示“如此……以至于……”，故which改为that。
