“Hell, bys; make lts f tys,” said A. C. Gilbert in magazine ads fr the erectr set (立体拼装玩具). The building set, using tiny, metal girders (大梁), was ppular fr many years.
As a small by, Gilbert culdn’t sit still fr lng. When he was 12, he started a sprts club fr his friends and gt their schl t have a field day. After watching ple vault (撑杆 跳), Gilbert tk a cedar rail frm a farmer’s fence, shaped it, and began t practice.
Gilbert wn a gld medal in ple vault at the Olympic Games in 1908. By that time, he had a diplma in physical educatin and had nearly finished medical studies. Hwever, he later started his first business: making and selling magic kits, with which Gilbert had amused friends and earned cllege mney.
One day, Gilbert saw wrkers using steel girders t build twers fr pwer lines. That gave him the idea fr the erectr set.
In 1917, the Cuncil f Natinal Defense thught n tys shuld be sld fr Christmas because the cuntry was fighting in Wrld War I. Gilbert, with ther men frm the Ty Manufacturers, went t Washingtn, D. C. with abut 40 different tys. and they were given 15 minutes t speak.
This meeting was at the end f a lng, hard day. Gilbert exclaimed hw tys helped children learn while his helpers brught ut the tys. Sn, tired gvernment men were n the flr, playing with building sets, mdels f navy ships, and ther tys. The time limit was frgtten; s was the Christmas ty ban.
Gilbert spent the rest f his life imprving erectr sets. When he died in 1961, he had 150 patents fr his many inventins. But his chief jy was in helping children learn and have fun at the same time. He nce said, “I have never wrked n anything t make mney unless it was fun t.” As a matter f fact, the fun always came first.

T the human ears a field f flwers is silent, save the nise f birds and insects. T certain animal ears, hwever, a field f flwers is full f cnversatin.
It has lng been knwn that plants cmmunicate when stressed. Yu need nly bserve a huseplant t realize that a plant wilts (枯萎) when it needs water, r turns yellw at the edges when it has been watered t much. Sme plants may als emit a bitter taste t deter insects frm capitalizing n their stressed state; while thers may emit rganic cmpunds t alarm ther plants in the area.
Nw, a new study, cnducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University. shws that nt nly d plants express themselves in the abve ways when stressed, they als emit sunds.
Accrding t the study, plants emit sunds at frequencies between 40 t 80 kilhertz- beynd the range f human ears—but within the range f sme animals. “While imperceptible t the human ears, the sunds emitted by plants can prbably be heard by such animals as bats, mice, and insects, "explained Dr. Lilach Hadany, a Prfessr at Tel Aviv University and a c-authr f the study.
One f the primary breakthrughs f Hadany's study is that the researchers have managed t understand and classify the sunds that plants generate fr the first time. Plants that are nt stressed prduce abut ne nise per hur, but plants that are stressed, dehydrated, r injured many hundreds f sunds per hur, and each f these sunds seems t be specific t the type f stress the plant is under.
This type f infrmatin culd be vital fr agriculture. Knwing what sunds their plants are making culd help farmers determine whether their crps are in danger r drught r disease and allw them t make the necessary changes t let their plants t thrive.
Amazingly enugh, the researchers are nt actually sure hw the plants make sunds, thugh it may have smething t d with cavitatin (空穴现象), which is when the water tensin in the plants becmes t high and the water turns t gas, making an ultrasnic ppping nise.
Whatever the case, this is still a game-changer fr plant science, and ptentially fr the future f agriculture. One day sn yur plants may be-able t tell yu if they are hungry, thirsty, r just feeling lnely.
8．What des the underlined wrd “deter” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Identify.B. Ignre.C. Prevent.D. Preserve.
9．What can we knw abut the new study accrding t the passage?
A. The sunds emitted by plants always remain the same.
B. All animals are nt able t hear the sunds prduced by plants.
C. Previus experiments suggested similar findings t the new study.
D. Researchers have made sense f hw plants exactly make sunds.
10．What is paragraph 6 mainly abut?
A. The new study’s benefits t farmers.
B. The new study’s limitatins in agriculture.
C. The new study’s impact n further studies.
D. The new study’s insight int relevant research.
11．What is the authr’s attitude twards the scientific value f the new study?
A. Indifferent.B. Skeptical.C. Ambiguus.D. Favrable.
Imagine getting ready fr bed, brushing yur teeth, setting yur alarm and then putting a device n yur head that allws yu t cntrl yur dreams. It might sund like smething ut f a Christpher Nlan mvie, but it’s als the real-life prmise f a new futuristic-lking headband called Hal, currently in develpment by US tech start-up Prphetic.
Planned fr release in 2025, Hal aims t allw yu t have mre lucid dreams-dreams where yu are aware that yu’re dreaming. In sme cases, yu might als exert (施加) a degree f cntrl ver what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit yur waking life, such as slving wrk prblems, visiting faraway lands, practising guitar and much mre.
The state-f-the-art apprach taken by the team behind the Hal device invlves tw stages. First, they are using EEG (脑电图) and fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) t cllect vast amunts f brain data frm vlunteers experiencing lucid dreams. This infrmatin will be key fr the secnd main area f investigatin, which invlves using TUS (超声) t manipulate brain activity in a way that will induce (诱导), sustain and influence lucid dreams by emplying high-frequency sunds.
S, is there any reasn nt t be excited abut the Hal headset? One issue is that TUS is a relatively new apprach t brain stimulatin and it's nt entirely clear what the lng-term cnsequences f zapping yur brain with high-frequency sunds might be. A secnd Issue is that sme sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functins. One ptential cncern is that by using a device t alter (更改) the nature f yur dreams, yu risk interfering with the usual purpse f yur dreams: A final cnsideratin is that there are already several established techniques fr inducing lucid dreams that d nt invlve cutting-edge technlgy, such as training by repeatedly pairing a sund with deliberate thughts f self-awareness, which are cheaper than the Hal headset.
With all these issues taken int cnsideratin, the jurney ahead is nt withut bstacles, and nly time will reveal the future path f Hal.
12．Hw des Hal aim t impact users’ dreams?
A. By keeping a clear track f dreams.B. By enabling mre cnscius dreams.
C. By prducing mre frequent dreams.D. By increasing the duratin f dreams.
13．Which f the fllwing is mentined as an issue with Hal?
A. T much cntrl ver dream cntent.
B. Knwn lng-term impacts n the brain.
C. Privacy cncerns abut cllecting brain data.
D. Interference with the basic functins f dreams.
14．What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. Dreams altered by Hal wuld lse all usual functins.
B. Other. established techniques are less effective than Hal.
C. Hal is the mst advanced device fr lucid dreams s far.
D. High-frequency sunds cause permanent damage t the brain.
15．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the passage?

(是什么阻止某些人承认自己的错误，无论情况如何？为什么他们很难道歉，即使很明显他们有错？对他们来说，承认错误并道歉的行为构成了重大的心理威胁。)”可知，文章开头提到生活中有人就是拒不认错和道歉的现象。选项G“这意味着承认他们伤害了某人，毕竟可能会引发羞耻感”和上文意思一致。故选G。
②根据上文“When their delicate eg(自我) cannt absrb the blw f admitting they were wrng (当他们脆弱的自我无法承受承认自己错了的打击时)”可知，这里提到有些人脆弱的自我无法承受承认自己错了的打击的现象，接下来要介绍他们会怎样应对这种情况。选项A“他们的防御机制开始发挥作用”和上文意思一致。故选A。
③根据上文“Unfrtunately, many f us mistakenly interpret these peple’s defensiveness as a sign f psychlgical strength. (不幸的是，我们中的许多人错误地将这些人的防御力解释为心理力量的象征。)”可知，接下来要介绍为什么许多人会有这样的理解。选项E“那是因为从表面上看，他们似乎是拒绝让步的强硬分子”和上文意思一致。故选E。

(为了承担责任并道歉，我们的自我价值需要足够强大，以吸收这种不适。事实上，如果我们的自我价值更高、更稳定，我们就可以忍受暂时的不适，而不会让自我周围的墙倒塌。)”可知，这一段主要介绍要做到承担责任并道歉需要的东西。选项F“承认自己错了在情感上是不舒服的，对我们的自我感觉也是痛苦的”和下文意思一致。故选F。
⑤根据上文“The mistake we ften make when faced with smene wh’s habitually incapable f aplgizing is t becme angry and try t win ur argument with them. (当面对一个习惯性地不会道歉的人时，我们经常犯的错误是变得愤怒，并试图赢得与他们的争论。)”和下文“In these situatins, the best we can d is make ur pints as calmly and cnvincingly as we can and then disengage frm the argument when it becmes unprductive-like when they disagree with the facts, cme up with silly excuses r turn t mean remarks. (在这种情况下，我们能做的最好的事情就是尽可能冷静、令人信服地提出我们的观点，然后在争论变得毫无成效时，比如当他们不同意事实、想出愚蠢的借口或发表刻薄的言论时，就退出争论。)”可知，当我们愤怒时并不能赢得争论。选项B“但可悲的现实是，我们永远赢不了”和上下文意思一致。故选B。

“Hell, bys; make lts f tys,” said A. C. Gilbert in magazine ads fr the erectr set (立体拼装玩具). The building set, using tiny, metal girders (大梁), was ppular fr many years.
As a small by, Gilbert culdn’t sit still fr lng. When he was 12, he started a sprts club fr his friends and gt their schl t have a field day. After watching ple vault (撑杆 跳), Gilbert tk a cedar rail frm a farmer’s fence, shaped it, and began t practice.
Gilbert wn a gld medal in ple vault at the Olympic Games in 1908. By that time, he had a diplma in physical educatin and had nearly finished medical studies. Hwever, he later started his first business: making and selling magic kits, with which Gilbert had amused friends and earned cllege mney.
One day, Gilbert saw wrkers using steel girders t build twers fr pwer lines. That gave him the idea fr the erectr set.
In 1917, the Cuncil f Natinal Defense thught n tys shuld be sld fr Christmas because the cuntry was fighting in Wrld War I. Gilbert, with ther men frm the Ty Manufacturers, went t Washingtn, D. C. with abut 40 different tys. and they were given 15 minutes t speak.
This meeting was at the end f a lng, hard day. Gilbert exclaimed hw tys helped children learn while his helpers brught ut the tys. Sn, tired gvernment men were n the flr, playing with building sets, mdels f navy ships, and ther tys. The time limit was frgtten; s was the Christmas ty ban.
Gilbert spent the rest f his life imprving erectr sets. When he died in 1961, he had 150 patents fr his many inventins. But his chief jy was in helping children learn and have fun at the same time. He nce said, “I have never wrked n anything t make mney unless it was fun t.” As a matter f fact, the fun always came first.

T the human ears a field f flwers is silent, save the nise f birds and insects. T certain animal ears, hwever, a field f flwers is full f cnversatin.
It has lng been knwn that plants cmmunicate when stressed. Yu need nly bserve a huseplant t realize that a plant wilts (枯萎) when it needs water, r turns yellw at the edges when it has been watered t much. Sme plants may als emit a bitter taste t deter insects frm capitalizing n their stressed state; while thers may emit rganic cmpunds t alarm ther plants in the area.
Nw, a new study, cnducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University. shws that nt nly d plants express themselves in the abve ways when stressed, they als emit sunds.
Accrding t the study, plants emit sunds at frequencies between 40 t 80 kilhertz- beynd the range f human ears—but within the range f sme animals. “While imperceptible t the human ears, the sunds emitted by plants can prbably be heard by such animals as bats, mice, and insects, "explained Dr. Lilach Hadany, a Prfessr at Tel Aviv University and a c-authr f the study.
One f the primary breakthrughs f Hadany's study is that the researchers have managed t understand and classify the sunds that plants generate fr the first time. Plants that are nt stressed prduce abut ne nise per hur, but plants that are stressed, dehydrated, r injured many hundreds f sunds per hur, and each f these sunds seems t be specific t the type f stress the plant is under.
This type f infrmatin culd be vital fr agriculture. Knwing what sunds their plants are making culd help farmers determine whether their crps are in danger r drught r disease and allw them t make the necessary changes t let their plants t thrive.
Amazingly enugh, the researchers are nt actually sure hw the plants make sunds, thugh it may have smething t d with cavitatin (空穴现象), which is when the water tensin in the plants becmes t high and the water turns t gas, making an ultrasnic ppping nise.
Whatever the case, this is still a game-changer fr plant science, and ptentially fr the future f agriculture. One day sn yur plants may be-able t tell yu if they are hungry, thirsty, r just feeling lnely.

A. The new study’s benefits t farmers.
B. The new study’s limitatins in agriculture.
C. The new study’s impact n further studies.
D. The new study’s insight int relevant research.

A. Indifferent.B. Skeptical.C. Ambiguus.D. Favrable.
Imagine getting ready fr bed, brushing yur teeth, setting yur alarm and then putting a device n yur head that allws yu t cntrl yur dreams. It might sund like smething ut f a Christpher Nlan mvie, but it’s als the real-life prmise f a new futuristic-lking headband called Hal, currently in develpment by US tech start-up Prphetic.
Planned fr release in 2025, Hal aims t allw yu t have mre lucid dreams-dreams where yu are aware that yu’re dreaming. In sme cases, yu might als exert (施加) a degree f cntrl ver what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit yur waking life, such as slving wrk prblems, visiting faraway lands, practising guitar and much mre.
The state-f-the-art apprach taken by the team behind the Hal device invlves tw stages. First, they are using EEG (脑电图) and fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) t cllect vast amunts f brain data frm vlunteers experiencing lucid dreams. This infrmatin will be key fr the secnd main area f investigatin, which invlves using TUS (超声) t manipulate brain activity in a way that will induce (诱导), sustain and influence lucid dreams by emplying high-frequency sunds.
S, is there any reasn nt t be excited abut the Hal headset? One issue is that TUS is a relatively new apprach t brain stimulatin and it's nt entirely clear what the lng-term cnsequences f zapping yur brain with high-frequency sunds might be. A secnd Issue is that sme sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functins. One ptential cncern is that by using a device t alter (更改) the nature f yur dreams, yu risk interfering with the usual purpse f yur dreams: A final cnsideratin is that there are already several established techniques fr inducing lucid dreams that d nt invlve cutting-edge technlgy, such as training by repeatedly pairing a sund with deliberate thughts f self-awareness, which are cheaper than the Hal headset.
With all these issues taken int cnsideratin, the jurney ahead is nt withut bstacles, and nly time will reveal the future path f Hal.
12．Hw des Hal aim t impact users’ dreams?

解析：①考查非谓语动词。句意：表演者们身着五颜六色的服装，手持木棒，随着音乐整齐地起舞。本句谓语为wave，此处为非谓语动词，且perfrmers与dress“给（某人）穿衣服”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作状语。故填Dressed。
②考查时间状语从句。句意：表演者们身着五颜六色的服装，手持木棒，随着音乐整齐地起舞。分析句子结构可知，本空引导时间状语从句，当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时或从句主语为it时，可以省略状语从句的主语和be动词。故本句中时间状语从句省略了主语perfrmers和be动词are，从句缺少“当……时”之意，用while/when引导。故填while/when。

Overwhelmed with astnishment and excitement, Jeff dashed all the way twards him, wh pened his arms t embrace his sn and ffered hearty cngratulatins. Thugh he had n idea f what it was abut, he was glad that his sn did attend cllege and lived up t his wish.
解析：1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当我离开他时，他说：‘谢谢你。顺便说一下，我是Hlstrm医生。’”可知，第一段可描写作者意识到他就是Jeff的父亲以及毕业生上台接受毕业证书。

2.续写线索：僵住——意识到他的身份——毕业生上台接受毕业证书——Jeff看到父亲——父亲做出拥抱的动作
3.词汇激活
