Hw can peple speak their mind withut saying anything? This is a questin that scientists have aimed t answer fr a lng time. Researchers recently brught an upgraded device that can translate users’ brain waves int daily speech.
Previusly, the team led by Edward Chang at the University f Califrnia, San Francisc, develped an Al-based system that can identify up t 50 cmmnly used wrds based n the participant’s brain waves. The participant was a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man wh had been implanted with 16 electrdes (电极) under his skull.
Accrding t their paper published in Nvember, the team upgraded the system which can nw translate thughts int cmplete sentences n a cmputer screen.
Their tests shwed that the device culd decde silently spken letters frm a 1,152-wrd vcabulary at a speed f abut 29 characters per minute. The accuracy was up t 94 percent. “It shws strng prmise fr restring cmmunicatin by tapping int the brain’s natural speech machinery,” Chang said t the university’s news website.
Hwever, this methd can still be prblematic since users still need t underg surgery. Scientists at the University f Texas, US, have tried t translate peple’s thughts withut even tuching their heads, reprted Live Science.
The new technique is called fMRI, r functinal magnetic resnance imaging (功能性磁共振成像). It’s a safer way f “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have mre xygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants t listen t 16 hurs f radi shws while scanning their brains. Then they used a cmputer algrithm (算法) t create a stry based n the fMRI recrding. It matched the radi shws pretty well.
Als, the algrithm culd basically explain the stry f a silent mvie that the participants watched. The team aims t develp this technlgy s that it can be used in brain-cmputer interfaces (脑机接口) designed fr peple wh cannt speak r type.
24. What d we knw abut the device mentined in Para 2?
A. It was implanted int a man’s heart.
B. It can help restre patients’ lst memry.
C. It was develped thrugh cperatin.
D. It can identify abut 50 rarely used wrds.
25. Hw des fMRI “read” peple’s minds?
A. By tracking their active brain cells.
B. By putting electrdes int their brains.
C. By recrding their reactin t radi shws.
D. By matching their brain activity with their habits.
26. Why is fMRI chsen cmpared t the first device mentined in the stry?
A. It’s cheaper.B. It’s mre accurate.C. It’s smaller in size.D. It’s safer.
27. What can be cncluded abut fMRI frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. It can nly read what participants hear.
B. It can be used in brain-cmputer interfaces.
C. It can read every detail f participants’ minds.
D. It cannt wrk ut what peple imagine in their heads.

Next time yu’re with a lved ne, cnsider trying an awkward experiment: Take a mment f silence and gaze int each thers eyes. By the time yu reach abut fur secnds, things will prbably start t feel uncmfrtable. Yet the precise reasn why is tricky t pin dwn with a scientific lens.
“There’s smething in that lking that has meaning, sustainable meaning,” says Jy Hirsch, a neurscientist at Yale Schl f Medicine, “The mechanism fr cnnectin has never really been understd.”
Several years ag, her team figured ut hw t adapt an existing neurimaging (神经成像) tl called functinal near-infrared spectrscpy(fNIRS), fr the purpse f analyzing the brains f tw peple during natural interactins. With these brain imaging tls, Hirsch is expanding the scial neurscience field int what she refers t as “the neurscience f tw.”
In the research, her teams have revealed a pwerful regin f the brain that is assciated with eye cntact. Specifically, fNIRS experiments have demnstrated that in-persn eye cntact seems t be cnnected t a brain part assciated with language prductin and receptin, as well as the primary sensry crtex (额叶), which is fundamental t prcessing sensatins like physical tuch, pain and temperature. In simple terms: “The eyes have privileged access t large parts f the brain,” says Hirsch.
Hirsch’s experiments have als revealed the unique tendency fr tw brains t synchrnize (同步) during eye cntact and cmmunicatin. A research f Dartmuth Cllege has similarly highlighted hw expansin f pupils (瞳孔) can synchrnize during a cnversatin t indicate “shared attentin” between tw peple, accrding t a 2021 study. Interestingly, thse researchers fund that precise mments f shared eye cntact actually decrease the pupil synchrny between tw peple, perhaps in a beneficial way.
Ultimately, each f these studies sparks just as many new questins as it answers - a reality that is perfectly fine with Hirsch.“Yes indeed, the ld philsphers were right.” she says. “Faces and brains wrk tgether like lcks and keys.”
28. What d we knw abut the awkward experiment frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. It will be a lng time befre yu feel cmfrtable.
B. Yu can sense smething frm each ther’s eyes.
C. Scientists have explained the reasn fr it clearly.
D. There is n link between eye cntact and feelings.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Why the brain respnds t eye cntact easily.
B. Hw the language is prduced in the brain.
C. What the functin f primary sensry crtex is.
D. Hw the regins f the brain are shaped.
30. What des the synchrnizatin f pupils mean during a cnversatin?
A. The interactin is fun.B. The cnversatin is interrupted.
C. The tw feel cnnected.D. A new cnversatins t start.
31. Why des Jy Hirsch qute the philsphers’ wrds at the end?
A. T further prve her findings are quite true.
B. T emphasize the imprtance f their research.
C. T shw the cmplexity f the phenmenn.
D. T stimulate peple’s interest in further study.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论了眼神交流在人际交往中的重要作用以及科学家们对此的研究。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Take a mment f silence and gaze int each thers eyes. By the time yu reach abut fur secnds, things will prbably start t feel uncmfrtable.(沉默一会儿，凝视对方的眼睛。当你达到大约4秒的时候，事情可能会开始感到不舒服。)”和文章第二段““There’s smething in that lking that has meaning, sustainable meaning,” says Jy Hirsch, a neurscientist at Yale Schl f Medicine(耶鲁大学医学院(Yale Schl f Medicine)的神经科学家乔伊·赫希(Jy Hirsch)说：“这种眼神中有某种东西是有意义的，是可持续的。”)”可知，从前两段这个实验中我们了解到可以从对方的眼睛里感觉到一些东西。故选B。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“In the research, her teams have revealed a pwerful regin f the brain that is assciated with eye cntact. Specifically, fNIRS experiments have demnstrated that in-persn eye cntact seems t be cnnected t a brain part assciated with language prductin and receptin, as well as the primary sensry crtex(额叶), which is fundamental t prcessing sensatins like physical tuch, pain and temperature. In simple terms: “The eyes have privileged access t large parts f the brain,” says Hirsch.( 在这项研究中，她的团队揭示了大脑中与目光接触有关的一个强大区域。具体来说，近红外光谱实验已经证明，面对面的目光接触似乎与大脑中与语言产生和接收相关的部分有关，也与初级感觉皮层有关，初级感觉皮层是处理身体触摸、疼痛和温度等感觉的基础。简单地说:“眼睛有特权进入大脑的大部分，”赫希说。)”可知，第四段主要解释了为什么大脑容易对眼神交流做出反应。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Hirsch’s experiments have als revealed the unique tendency fr tw brains t synchrnize (同步) during eye cntact and cmmunicatin. A research f Dartmuth Cllege has similarly highlighted hw expansin f pupils (瞳孔) can synchrnize during a cnversatin t indicate “shared attentin” between tw peple, accrding t a 2021 study.(赫希的实验还揭示了两个大脑在目光接触和交流时同步的独特趋势。根据2021年的一项研究，达特茅斯学院(Dartmuth Cllege)的一项研究同样强调了瞳孔的扩张如何在谈话中同步，以表明两个人之间的“共同关注”。)”可知，达特茅斯学院的一项研究也强调了瞳孔在对话中如何同步以表明两人之间的“共同关注”。因此，瞳孔的同步意味着两个人感到有联系。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Yes indeed, the ld philsphers were right.” she says. “Faces and brains wrk tgether like lcks and keys.”(“是的，老哲学家是对的。她说。“脸和大脑就像锁和钥匙一样相互作用。”)”可知，Hirsch提到“老哲学家们是对的”是为了进一步证明她的发现是正确的。故选A。

Grwing evidence shws that dancing can bst brain health and help manage neurcgnitive (神经认知的) disrders. S what is it abut dance that’s different frm ther regular exercises?
Helena Blumen, a cgnitive scientist at Albert Einstein Cllege f Medicine, says the cmplex mental multitasking that dancing requires engages varius parts f the brain at the same time. Basically, dancing requires mre brainpwer than simpler repetitive exercises.
While scientists are still learning hw the mechanisms f dancing wrk in the brain, a clearer picture is beginning t emerge. Researchers at Ott-vn-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Germany, did MRI scans f lder adults wh had participated in ne f tw prgrams ver a six-mnth perid. One grup practiced dance and the ther did a traditinal exercise prgram with cycling and strength training. While bth grups imprved their level f physical fitness, the dancers grew mre white and gray matter in the parts f their brains respnsible fr cgnitive prcesses. Bth white and gray matter typically decline as we get lder, making cmmunicatin in the brain slw.
Imagine yur brain is a city with lads f rads. The researchers assume, the changes brught by dancing cntribute t brain plasticity, which is like the city’s ability t build new rads, repair ld nes r even change the directin f traffic based n hw ften the rutes are used and what the city needs.
In additin t the physical and neurlgical (神经学的) benefits, dance can als help peple accept what their bdies can and can’t d. Dawnia Baynes, 44, develped multiple sclersis (MS) after her bdy lst all feeling frm the chest dwn. She recently jined an nline dance prgram fr peple with MS. Nt nly has it imprved her range f mtin, it has als helped her vercme her fear f being judged fr hw she mves.
“T see ther peple mving is like I’m mving,” she says, “and knwing that I dn’t have t be prfessinal and super technical in my dancing makes me cmfrtable with where I am right nw.”
32. What des dancing invlve accrding t the passage?
A. Mental multitasking.
B. Picturing abstract images.
C. Simple repetitive exercises.
D. A high level f physical fitness.
33. What des the underlined wrd “plasticity” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Grwth.B. Vlume.
C. Flexibility.D. Damage.
34. Hw has Baynes benefited frm dancing?
A. She has becme a prfessinal dancer.
B. She has set up an nline dance prgram.
C. She has bradened her range f influence.
D. She has develped greater self-acceptance.
35. What is a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Dance fr Better Health
B. Chse Prper Exercise
C. Take Yurself as Yu Are

【语篇解读】本文属于议论文。文章介绍了几种打扫房子的方法，这些方法既省时又省力，同时避免使用有毒的清洁化学品。
【36题详解】
由上文“There are many ways t clean a huse, but the best methds are thse that save time and effrt, while aviding pisnus cleaning chemicals.”可知，前文说的是打扫房子有很多方法，但最好的方法是那些节省时间和精力，同时避免有毒的清洁化学品。再根据空后的 “Armed with these, yu'll sn be lking fr reasns t clean.”意思是有了这些，你很快就会寻找清洁的原因。空处应该是为打扫房子提供方便而又健康的建议。E 选项“Here are sme simple tricks that will make the task easier and healthier”说“以下是一些简单的技巧，可以使任务更轻松，更健康。”符合语境，故选 E。
【37题详解】
由小标题Keep stuff dry可知讲的如何保持物品干燥。由文中“Wetness is the enemy when it cmes t keeping bathrms and kitchens clean because it attracts bacteria. Leave the shwer dr r curtain pen when nt in use t allw fr airflw.”（当保持浴室和厨房清洁时，由于它会吸收细菌，因此潮湿是大敌。不使用时，请保持淋浴门或窗帘打开，以确保空气流通。）主要讲了具体的保持干燥的方法，D选项“淋浴时务必运转风扇或打开窗户以释放蒸汽”。与上文相一致，故选 D。
【38题详解】
根据“Use a flashlight t shine n surfaces, flrs, and crners in rder t spt dust and dirt yu might have missed”可知，这一段的建议是用手电照亮地面、地板和角落，找出你可能错过的灰尘，A选项“照亮灰尘”，与下文一致，最适合作段落标题，故选 A。
【39题详解】
由标题Put tls everywhere可知是工具无处不在。由文中“If there are cleaning brushes, rags, and slutins in every rm r at least n every flr f the huse, yu'll tend t jump int a jb when it needs t be dne.”（如果每个房间或至少每层楼都有清洁刷、抹布和清洁剂，你就会在需要做的时候立马投入工作。）可知，本段的建议是把工具放在家里的每个地方，接着介绍了这样做的好处，因此接下来反过来说如果拿工具不方便，就不会随手打扫卫生。G选项“have t climb a flight f stairs t get the right tls, yu may just ignre it”（必须爬楼梯才能获得正确的工具，你可能会忽略它）与上文相照应，故选 G。
【40题详解】
由前文“If yu make yur bed every mrning, yu'll start the day with a small sense f accmplishment and end it with a sense f satisfactin.”（如果你每天早晨都整理床铺，那么你会以一种小的成就感开始新的一天，并以一种满足感来结束一天。）可知整理床铺使自己有成就感。由下文 describes it as “the bed f the kitchen”，这里提到的另一项任务应该是厨房里的设施。C项“厨房水槽也是如此。”与上文一致。故选 C。

【答案】56. with 57. called 58. ttally 59. a 60. participants 61. t knw
62. lnger 63. ability 64. that 65. had walked
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家最近实施的一项名为Deep Time的研究：志愿者如何适应没有手机和网络、与外界隔离的生活。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：如何在一个没有任何现代化设备的洞穴里待四十天？使用介词with “有”，与其后的介词宾语n mdern equipment整体意为 “没有现代设备”，做定语修饰a cave。故填with。
【57题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：他们参加了一个叫“深度时间”的项目，以便见证在完全与现代世界失联后他们是什么反应，会如何应对这种情况。They tk part in a prject ____2____ (call) Deep Time已有谓语tk且无连词，动词call用非谓语形式，逻辑主语a prject与动词call是动宾关系，用过去分词表被动，作a prject的后置定语。故填called。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：他们参加了一个叫“深度时间”的项目，以便见证在完全与现代世界失联后他们是什么反应，会如何应对这种情况。be discnnected frm意为“与……切断联系/脱离”，此处ttal使用副词形式修饰动词过去分词discnnected，强调与现代社会脱离的程度深，be ttally discnnected frm意为“与……完全脱离”。故填ttally。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他们把志愿者放入一个洞穴，待六周时间。cave是可数名词，且前文没有出现过，表泛指，cave以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：这儿没有阳光，参与者与外界也没有接触。根据前文put the vlunteers…可知，参与项目的志愿者是多人，而此句提到的参与者participant即前文所说的志愿者，用复数形式participants。故填participants。
【61题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他们必须依赖他们的生物钟才能知道什么时候起床、睡觉和吃饭。动词结构rely n sth./sb. t d sth.意为“依靠某物/某人去做某事”，用动词不定式（t d）形式。故填t knw。
【62题详解】
考查比较级。句意：为完成他们已经开始了的项目，三分之二的志愿者表示还想在地下多呆一下。根据上文的a while “一会儿”，和下文的in rder t finish prjects“为了能完成项目”可知，只有花更长的时间才能完成项目，填lng的比较级lnger。故填lnger。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：“深度时间”项目的负责人Christian Clt表示这一体验将检测人类失去时空参照体系后的适应能力。根据’s/s’所有格后接名词，而前文humans’正好是名词所有格形式，用名词形式ability。故填ability。
【64题详解】
考查表语从句连接词。句意：一个引人注目的观察所得即他们失去了时间意识。此处是缺乏连接词的表语从句，表语从句they lst their sense f time结构完整，不缺成分和“是否”意义，用无意义且只起连接作用的that，即由that引导表语从句。故填that。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意：Clt先生说他们认为30天前他们就已经走进洞穴。此处缺乏谓语，根据前文的said “说”、和下文的30 days befre可知，walk int “走进”，这一动作在 “说”这一动作之前，即“过去的过去”，空格处填过去完成时（had dne）。故填had walked。
