Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco, in the US, have developed a piece of software that can read minds. The project, supported by Facebook, hopes to help people who, because of medical conditions, are unable to communicate with others.

Until now, various technologies have been invented to help those speech-impaired (语言障碍) people to communicate with others naturally. According to previous study, almost 30% of Americans once found themselves upset and even anxious to use oral language fluently. This new software uses brain signals to change a person’s thoughts into text. When we want to speak, the brain sends signals to make the lips, jaw and tongue move in the right way to make an understandable sound. By discovering these brain signals, the new software is able to predict what a person want to say quickly enough to hold a conversation.

The brain-reading software was tested on three volunteers who could all speak like healthy people. They were being treated for epilepsy(癫痫). As part of their treatment for epilepsy, each patient had electrodes(电极)placed on to their brain. Edward Chang, a researcher of the study, used these electrodes to record the signals in the patients’ brains while they listened to a list of questions and answered them.

Chang and his team then built a computer program that learned to match the patients’ brain signals to the words the patients heard and the words the patients spoke. For the questions, the software matched the correct words 76%of the time. For the answers, it matched the correct words 61%of the time.

Now, the mind-reading software is still limited in certain areas where it was trained. Scientists hope that they will develop a more powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back. Chang said, “We as scientists should try our best to help people to bring that most important and basic human ability back even if facing challenges”

24.How many people were possibly found to be speech-impaired if 900 participants were tested in the study?

  A．159     B．270.      C．630   D．267.

25. How does the software help people?

A. By changing people’s mind into text. B. By sending signals to their lips.

C. By organizing conversations for them. D. By training them how to speak.

26. What can we know about the mind-reading software according to the last paragraph?

A. It still has a long way to go before used widely. 

B. It has damaged the basic human ability.

C. It still has little room for improvement of individual abilities. 

D. It has improved human real-time communications.

27. What is the attitude of the author towards the mind-reading software?

A. Favorable. B. Opposing. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

 C

We’ve all confronted some cases: in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by individuals who are deeply attached to their digital companions such as smartphones or ipads. Therefore we more or less once came across some disgusting discomfort from silence.

What’s the problem? It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s challenging, or we think it’s impolite and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that short talk or conversations is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an valuable social practice that results in big benefits.

Dismissing short conversations as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. short conversations is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. ＂Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with short conversations,＂ he explains. ＂The key to successful short conversations is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.＂

In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. ＂It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.＂

Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with short conversations. ＂short conversations is the basis of good manners,＂he says.

28. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?

A. Addiction to smartphones.                   B. Unsuitable behavior in public places.

C. Absence of communication between strangers.   D. Impatience with slow service.

29. What is important for successful short conversations according to Carducci?

A. Showing good manners.  B. Relating to other people.  C. Focusing on a topic.  D. Making business deals.

30. What does the coffee-shop study infer about short conversations?

A. It improves family relationships.    B. It raises people’s confidence.

C. It matters in daily life.             D. It makes people feel good.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Conversation Counts             B. Ways of Making short conversations

C. Benefits of short conversations     D. Uncomfortable Silence

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)

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。It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.

I looked around and finally saw David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.

What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!

I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”

I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.

David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

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。

Paragraph 1:

We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.

Paragraph 2:

I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
