IQ is ften regarded as a crucial driver f success, particularly in fields such as science, innvatin and technlgy. But the truth is that sme f the greatest achievements by ur species have primarily relied n what scientists call “cgnitive flexibility”.
Cgnitive flexibility is a skill that enables us t switch between different cncepts, r t adapt behavir t achieve gals in a nvel r changing envirnment. And the gd news is that it can be trained. Currently, a grup f researchers frm Cambridge University are cnducting a research, trying t wrk ut hw peple can best bst their cgnitive flexibility.
Cgnitive flexibility may have affected hw peple cped with the pandemic lckdwns, which prduced new challenges arund wrk and schling. Sme peple may have changed their rutines frm time t time, trying t find better and mre varied ways f ging abut their day. Others, hwever, struggled and finally became mre rigid in their thinking. They stuck t the same rutine activities, with little flexibility r change.

S des cgnitive flexibility make peple smarter in a way that isn’t always captured n IQ tests? We knw that it leads t better ratinal thinking thrughut the lifespan. Fr example, fr children it leads t better reading abilities and better schl perfrmance.
It can als help prtect against a number f prejudice. Peple wh are cgnitively flexible are better at recgnizing ptential faults in themselves and using strategies t vercme these faults.
Cgnitive flexibility is essential fr sciety t flurish. It can help maximize the ptential f individuals t create innvative ideas and creative inventins. Ultimately, it is such qualities that we need t slve the big challenges f tday.
8. What is the purpse f the research cnducted by Cambridge University researchers?
A. T clarify peple’s misunderstanding abut cgnitive flexibility.
B. T figure ut the relatinship between IQ and cgnitive flexibility.
C. T explre effective ways t imprve peple’s cgnitive flexibility.
D. T make ut the benefits f increasing peple’s cgnitive flexibility.
9. What will cgnitively flexible peple prbably d t deal with new challenges?
A. Stick t their riginal plan.B. Handle new prblems rigidly.
C. Adjust their thughts and behavir.D. Apply creative ideas t imprve their IQ.

Tetraplegic paticnts (thse wh can’t mve their upper r lwer bdy) are prisners f their wn bdies. Nw a rbt arm is t help them interact with their wrld. This research was cmpleted by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute f Technlgy Lausanne (EPFL). Prfessr Aude Billard and Jse del R. Millan wrked tgether t create a cmputer prgram that can cntrl a rbt using electrical signals frm a patient’s brain.
First, the user wears an EEG cap t have their electrical signals inside their brain scanned(扫 描)effectively, which are then interpreted by the machine-learning algrithm (算法).The cmputer then sends signals t the rbt arm t determine hw it mves. As the rbt arm perfrms a mtin,the algrithm is lking t get feedback frm the user when it makes a mistake: perhaps it mved t fast, r t vilently. The end gal is that the rbt can learn the right mvements fr a task in a given cntext. Fr example, yu might want the arm t use a bit f frce t thrw a paper ball, but yu might want it t be gentler when putting glass bttles.
In the team’s research, they trained the rbt arm t pick up a glass. The arm wuld mve twards the glass and the user’s brain wuld decide if they felt it was t clse r t far away. The prcess is repeated until the rbt understands the ptimal rute fr the individual’s preference - nt t clse t be a risk but nt s far away t waste mvement.
“Training an algrithm t read brain waves in a cnsistent fashin was the mst challenging part, because the brain is nt nly fcused n the hand but als prcessing many ther things,” said Millan. “This means ur algrithm will never be 100 % accurate.”
The researchers hpe t eventually use their algrithm t cntrl wheelchairs, which wuld allw peple in wheelchairs t have greater cntrl ver their mvements, speeds and general safety. Hwever, this des require cnsistency ver time t the algrithm.
12. Which paragraph mentins the wrking prcess?
A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.
13. What des the underlined wrd “ptimal” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Indirect.B. Best.C. Regular.D. Alternative.
14. Hw can the accuracy f reading brain waves be imprved?
A. By cntrlling peple’s brain.B. By ensuring general safety.
C. By prcessing ther infrmatin.D. By gaining data cntinuusly.
15. What culd be the best title f the text?
A. This rbt arm can read yur mind.
B. Rbt arms cntrl yur mvement.
C. Algrithm finds cure fr the disabled.
D. Machine-learning algrithm can train rbts.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究，为了帮助四肢瘫痪的患者，科学家们发明了机器人手臂，患者可以用大脑电信号控制机器人手臂。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“First, the user wears an EEG cap t have their electrical signals inside their brain scanned(扫 描)effectively, which are then interpreted by the machine-learning algrithm (算法).The cmputer then sends signals t the rbt arm t determine hw it mves. As the rbt arm perfrms a mtin, the algrithm is lking t get feedback frm the user when it makes a mistake: perhaps it mved t fast, r t vilently. The end gal is that the rbt can learn the right mvements fr a task in a given cntext.(首先，用户戴上脑电图帽，有效地扫描他们大脑中的电信号，然后由机器学习算法解释)。然后，计算机向机器人手臂发送信号，以确定它如何移动。当机器人手臂执行一个动作时，算法会在它犯错误时从用户那里得到反馈:可能移动得太快或太剧烈。最终目标是机器人能够在给定的环境中学习完成任务的正确动作。)”可知，第二段描述了机器人手臂的操作流程。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后半句“nt t clse t be a risk but nt s far away t waste mvement.(既不会太近而有风险，又不会太远而浪费移动时间。)”可知，最终机器人会了解到适合个体偏好的最佳路线。所以ptimal为“最佳的”之意。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers hpe t eventually use their algrithm t cntrl wheelchairs, which wuld allw peple in wheelchairs t have greater cntrl ver their mvements, speeds and general safety.(研究人员希望最终能使用他们算法来控制轮椅，这样坐轮椅的人就能更好地控制自己的行动、速度和总体安全。)”可推断，他们是通过不断获得数据来提高准确性的。故选D。

37. sixth 38. as
39. where 40. brrwing
41. intended
42. Different
43. fr 44. warning
45. be emplyed
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：几千年来，人们通过讲寓言来传授知识或传授智慧。根据句意可知，此处表达“来传授知识和智慧”，所以用不定式作目的状语。故填t teach。
【37题详解】
考查数词。句意：寓言是许多古代文化口述传统的一部分，而著名的伊索寓言可以追溯到公元前6世纪。century“世纪”前面要用序数词形式。故填sixth。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：然而，正如雷切尔·卡森在《明日寓言》中所说，寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。引导非限定性定语从句，且有“正如”之意，用关系代词as引导。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：“从前，在美国的中心地带有一个小镇，那里所有的生命似乎都和周围的环境一起享受着和平的生活，”她的寓言是这样开头的，借用了许多古老寓言中的一些熟悉的词。句中先行词为twn，在非限定性定语从句作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“从前，在美国的中心地带有一个小镇，那里所有的生命似乎都和周围的环境一起享受着和平的生活，”她的寓言是这样开头的，借用了许多古老寓言中的一些熟悉的词。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语her fable与brrw之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填brrwing。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在简洁的风格背后，是每个人都想要传达的重要信息。be intended fr打算为……所用，在句中作定语，所以用过去分词形式。故填intended。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：与传统寓言不同，卡森的故事以一种指责而不是道德结束。be different frm与……不同，所以用形容词作状语。故填Different。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：她警告社会面临的环境危险，并教导人们必须承担起保护环境的责任。take respnsibility fr对……负责。故填fr。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，卡森的主题是对环境破坏的更严重警告。形容词weighty后接名词形式。根据句中不定冠词a可知，用可数名词的单数形式。故填warning。
【45题详解】
考查语态。句意：卡森证明了一种简单的文字形式已经流传了几个世纪，今天仍然可以用来引起人们对重要真理的注意。从句主语a simple literal frm与emply之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。情态动词can后接动词原形。故填be emplyed。

IQ is ften regarded as a crucial driver f success, particularly in fields such as science, innvatin and technlgy. But the truth is that sme f the greatest achievements by ur species have primarily relied n what scientists call “cgnitive flexibility”.
Cgnitive flexibility is a skill that enables us t switch between different cncepts, r t adapt behavir t achieve gals in a nvel r changing envirnment. And the gd news is that it can be trained. Currently, a grup f researchers frm Cambridge University are cnducting a research, trying t wrk ut hw peple can best bst their cgnitive flexibility.
Cgnitive flexibility may have affected hw peple cped with the pandemic lckdwns, which prduced new challenges arund wrk and schling. Sme peple may have changed their rutines frm time t time, trying t find better and mre varied ways f ging abut their day. Others, hwever, struggled and finally became mre rigid in their thinking. They stuck t the same rutine activities, with little flexibility r change.
Flexible thinking is key t creativity. It als supprts academic and wrk skills such as prblem slving. Unlike wrking memry, it is largely independent f IQ. Fr example, many visual artists may be f average intelligence, but highly creative and have prduced masterpieces.

It can als help prtect against a number f prejudice. Peple wh are cgnitively flexible are better at recgnizing ptential faults in themselves and using strategies t vercme these faults.
Cgnitive flexibility is essential fr sciety t flurish. It can help maximize the ptential f individuals t create innvative ideas and creative inventins. Ultimately, it is such qualities that we need t slve the big challenges f tday.
8. What is the purpse f the research cnducted by Cambridge University researchers?
A. T clarify peple’s misunderstanding abut cgnitive flexibility.
B. T figure ut the relatinship between IQ and cgnitive flexibility.
C. T explre effective ways t imprve peple’s cgnitive flexibility.
D. T make ut the benefits f increasing peple’s cgnitive flexibility.

This research was cmpleted by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute f Technlgy Lausanne (EPFL). Prfessr Aude Billard and Jse del R. Millan wrked tgether t create a cmputer prgram that can cntrl a rbt using electrical signals frm a patient’s brain.
First, the user wears an EEG cap t have their electrical signals inside their brain scanned(扫 描)effectively, which are then interpreted by the machine-learning algrithm (算法).The cmputer then sends signals t the rbt arm t determine hw it mves. As the rbt arm perfrms a mtin,the algrithm is lking t get feedback frm the user when it makes a mistake: perhaps it mved t fast, r t vilently. The end gal is that the rbt can learn the right mvements fr a task in a given cntext. Fr example, yu might want the arm t use a bit f frce t thrw a paper ball, but yu might want it t be gentler when putting glass bttles.
In the team’s research, they trained the rbt arm t pick up a glass. The arm wuld mve twards the glass and the user’s brain wuld decide if they felt it was t clse r t far away. The prcess is repeated until the rbt understands the ptimal rute fr the individual’s preference - nt t clse t be a risk but nt s far away t waste mvement.
“Training an algrithm t read brain waves in a cnsistent fashin was the mst challenging part, because the brain is nt nly fcused n the hand but als prcessing many ther things,” said Millan. “This means ur algrithm will never be 100 % accurate.”
The researchers hpe t eventually use their algrithm t cntrl wheelchairs, which wuld allw peple in wheelchairs t have greater cntrl ver their mvements, speeds and general safety. Hwever, this des require cnsistency ver time t the algrithm.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：几千年来，人们通过讲寓言来传授知识或传授智慧。根据句意可知，此处表达“来传授知识和智慧”，所以用不定式作目的状语。故填t teach。
【37题详解】
考查数词。句意：寓言是许多古代文化口述传统的一部分，而著名的伊索寓言可以追溯到公元前6世纪。century“世纪”前面要用序数词形式。故填sixth。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：然而，正如雷切尔·卡森在《明日寓言》中所说，寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。引导非限定性定语从句，且有“正如”之意，用关系代词as引导。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：“从前，在美国的中心地带有一个小镇，那里所有的生命似乎都和周围的环境一起享受着和平的生活，”她的寓言是这样开头的，借用了许多古老寓言中的一些熟悉的词。句中先行词为twn，在非限定性定语从句作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“从前，在美国的中心地带有一个小镇，那里所有的生命似乎都和周围的环境一起享受着和平的生活，”她的寓言是这样开头的，借用了许多古老寓言中的一些熟悉的词。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语her fable与brrw之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填brrwing。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在简洁的风格背后，是每个人都想要传达的重要信息。be intended fr打算为……所用，在句中作定语，所以用过去分词形式。故填intended。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：与传统寓言不同，卡森的故事以一种指责而不是道德结束。be different frm与……不同，所以用形容词作状语。故填Different。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：她警告社会面临的环境危险，并教导人们必须承担起保护环境的责任。take respnsibility fr对……负责。故填fr。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，卡森的主题是对环境破坏的更严重警告。形容词weighty后接名词形式。根据句中不定冠词a可知，用可数名词的单数形式。故填warning。
【45题详解】
考查语态。句意：卡森证明了一种简单的文字形式已经流传了几个世纪，今天仍然可以用来引起人们对重要真理的注意。从句主语a simple literal frm与emply之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。情态动词can后接动词原形。故填be emplyed。
