I used t believe that nly wrds culd catch the essence （本质） f the human sul. The literary wrks cntained such distinct stries that they shaped the way we saw the wrld. Wrds were what cmpsed the questins we sught t uncver and the answers t thse questins themselves. Wrds were everything.
That belief changed.
In an rdinary math class, my teacher psed a simple questin: What's 0. 99 runded t the nearest whle number? Easy. When runded t the nearest whle number. 0. 99=1. Smehw. I thught even thugh 0. 99 is nly 0. 01 away frm I. there's still a 0. 01 difference. That means even if tw things are nly a little different, they are still different, s desn't that make them cmpletely different?
My teacher answered my questin by presenting anther equatin （等式）： 1 = 0. 9， which culd als be expressed as 1=0. 999999. repeating itself withut ever ending.
There was smething mysterius but fascinating abut the equatin. The left side was unchangeable. bjective: it cntained a number that ended. On the right was smething endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, smehw, these tw ppsed things were cnnected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thught abut hw much the equatin paralleled （使平行） ur existence. The left side f the equatin represents that smetimes life itself is s unchangeable and s clear. The cncrete, whle number f the day when yu were brn and the day when yu wuld die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full f limitless pssibilities. and endless pprtunities int the pen future.
S that's what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equatin with tw sides that balances itself ut. Still. we can't ever truly seem t put the perfect wrds t it. S pssibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as wrds can. Fr nw, let's leave it at that: 1=0. 999999. . . and live a life like it.
4. Which f the fllwing can best describe "wrds" in paragraph 1?
A. Difficult. B. Clear. C. Pwerful. D. Interesting.
5. What may the number "1" refer t?
A. Valuable chances. B. Definite facts.
C. Creativity imaginatin. D. Scial develpment.
6. What des the authr think f "1=0. 9"?
A. They reveal the meaning f life. B. They are reliable in expressing ideas.
C. They are useful in learning maths. D. They give limited pssibilities.
7. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Why the equatin exists everywhere
B. Which equatin is imprtant fr peple
C. Hw numbers can express ideas like wrds
D. When numbers can easily make up equatins

Fr thusands f years, humans have used names t cmmunicate with ne anther. We als give names t animals, especially nes we lve, such as pets. Until nw there has been little evidence f animals naming ne anther, but a new study suggests that elephants use specific nises t identify ther elephants.
A few animals, including parrts and dlphins, have been knwn t use sunds that are similar t names. Each dlphin invents a signature whistle that is unique t it, and ther members f its species cmmunicate with it by simulating this special call. The new study, led by Michael Pard f Clrad State University, shws that wild African elephants use names in a way that is nt just cpying sunds and is much clser t the way humans use names.
Fr the study, the researchers recrded 625 sunds made by wild African elephants in Kenya that they called "rumbles (隆隆声)”. This is the mst cmmn type f call prduced by elephants, and it can travel lng distances-as far as 3. 7 miles. It takes place at a very lw frequency, which means humans can't hear it.
The researchers analyzed the sunds using cmputers and fund that certain rumbles were directed at specific elephants t get their attentin They fund that all the elephants in the herd used the identical call t get a particular elephant's attentin -these calls were nt just nicknames used by ne f the elephant's friends. Als. unlike the way dlphins cmmunicate. the rumbles were nt just imitatins f the elephant they were trying t cmmunicate with.
The researchers then played back sme f the recrded rumbles t the elephants. They fund that elephants respnded mre t their wn name than t ther calls. cming tward it mre quickly r calling back faster. Cartlin O'Cnnell-Rdwell, an elephant expert, said, "The study shws that elephants can still keep in tuch with ne anther even acrss a large area. "She tld Live Science, "The rumbles ere magical, which allw them t spread ut much further and still have very clse tabs（密切关注） n individuals. "
8. What des the underlined wrd "simulating" in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Cpying. B. Inventing C. Transfrming. D. Receiving.
9. Hw d wild elephants spt ther elephants?
A. By making certain rumbles heard by peple.
B. By using specific languages like peple’s.
C. By making specific nises with a high frequency
D. By using names in a way clser t peple’s.
10. What can we learn frm Michael Pard's research?
A. It recrds 625 sunds frm several species.
B. It is subjective in the analysis f sunds.
C. It is carried ut with the help f cmputers.
D. It shws dlphins' calls travel lng distances.
11. Which f the fllwing des O'Cnnell-Rdwell agree with?
A. Elephants cmmunicate with nses acrss a large area.
B. Rumbles are imprtant in elephants’ cmmunicatin
C. Elephants may be last n the way t their habitats
D. Rumbles enable elephants t stand nr play clser.
D
Scientists have designed ways t "read" wrds directly frm brains. Brain implants (植入物) can translate internal speech int external signals, allwing cmmunicatin frm peple with paralysis (瘫痪 )r diseases that steal their ability t talk r type. New results frm tw studies, presented n Nvember 14 prvide additinal evidence f the extrardinary ptential that brain implants have fr restring lst cmmunicatin. says Leigh Hchberg, a physician at Massachusetts General Hspital in Bstn.
"The new studies targeted internal speech, which requires that a persn nly think. Our device predicts internal speech directly, allwing the patient t just fcus n saying a wrd inside his head and transfrm it int text," says Sarah Wandelt.
Neural signals assciated with wrds are detected by electrdes (电极)implanted in the brain. The signals can then be translated int text, which can be made an ral speech by cmputer prgrams.
Anther apprach presented at the meeting, led by neurscientist Sean Metzger f the University f Califrnia. San Francisc and bis clleagues, relied n spelling. The participant was a man called Panch wh hadn't been able t speak fr mre than 15 years because f a disease. In this study, Panch attempted t silently think cde (代码) wrds, such as "alpha" fr A and "ech" fr E. By stringing these letters int wrds, he prduced sentences such as "I d nt want that" and "Yu have gt t be kidding." Each sessin wuld end when Panch attempted t squeeze his hand thereby creating a mvement-related brain signal that refused the decding (解码).
With this system. Panch prduced abut seven wrds per minute. That's faster than the five wrds per minute his usual cmmunicatin device makes, but much slwer than nrmal speech, typically abut 150 wrds per minute. The techniques will need t ger faster and mre accurate t be useful. It's als unclear whether the technlgies will wrk fr peple with mre serius speech disrders. "These are still early days," Hchberg says.
12. Wh are brain implants intended fr?
A. Peple wh d research n speaking.B. Peple wh are fnd f talking.
C. Peple wh are tired f speaking.D. Peple wh have difficulty in talking.
13. What d patients need t da in the first apprach?
A. Predict internal speech directly. B. Say a wrd inside their heads.
C. Detect wards implanted in the head.D. Make an ral speech directly.
14. Hw can Panch stp "speaking"?
A. By pressing his hand.B. By decding the speech.
C. By stringing the letters.D. By cnsidering cde wrds.
15. Which f the fllwing us the best title fr the text?
A. Scientists develp a device.B. Brain implants "help" t spell.
C. Brain implants "read" thughts.D. Scientists help peple t speak.

They might have been hauling a crpse ( 尸体) The man's skin was blue. and neither Raphael nr James detected any breathing. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty.
Hw t get ut? The pier's decking std an unreachable 10 feet abve their heads. A metal beam was cvered by sharp barnacles. If Raphael, sheless, attempted t climb nt it, he'd hurt his bare feet.
Suddenly the man breathed again, stirred and clbbered (狠揍) cnfusedly Raphael in the face befre fading back t near uncnsciusness.
