This stroke left him withLocked-In Syndrome, a condition that leaves him almost entirely paralyzed (瘫痪的) except for his ability to thinkand perceive the world around him. Remarkably, Wicks has found a way to overcome these barriers through the useof an eyegaze computer. This cutting-edge device tracks his eye movements, enabling him to communicate withthose around him and to pursue his passion for writing.Over 18 months, using his eyes, he wrote 50, 000 words, composing a story that reflects his life experiences.The initial chapter of his book introduces readers to his life before the stroke, providing a thorough insight into whohe was. The story then follows his changes from the hospital setting to reintegrating into community life. This bookis designed to be the first of a trilogy (三部曲) that covers his life from the age of 16 up to now.Wicks says the process of writing was nothing short of an intense and valuable experience of emotionalrelease. “I enjoyed writing it, especially the parts I personally enjoyed living myself.” And he hopes his book willraise awareness of an organization he founded, the Locked-In Trust, which is committed to supporting individuals第 4页/共 13页suffering from the condition.As Wicks continues to work on the next volume, his journey serves as an inspiration to many. His ability toturn misfortune into a platform for creativity and communication is a proof of his strength and toughness. Throughhis writing, Wicks offers a powerful message of hope and resolution, highlighting the importance of finding waysto connect and share our stories, no matter the challenges we face.“From the moment I gained the ability to type, writing a book has always been a goal of mine. Over time,more motivations for pursuing this dream emerged. I believed that finishing it was necessary for my happiness andpersonal progress,” Wicks explained.4. What does the eyegaze computer do for Wicks?A. Give a boost to his recovery. B. Allow him to interact effectively.C. Fuel his inspiration for writing. D. Offer virtual support for his motion.5. What is mainly described in Wicks’ book?A. His carefree childhood. B. His thorough insight into writing.C His expectations of the future. D. His struggles against challenges.6. How does Wicks feel about writing?A. It ensures him a basic living. B. It enables him to let out feelings.C. It symbolizes a test of strength. D. It acts as a weapon against misfortune.7. What can we learn from Wicks’ story?A. All things are difficult before they are easy.B. The course of true love never did run smooth.C. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.D. The greater the difficulty, the greater the achievement.CArm wrestling (扳手腕)was one of my favorite ways of playing with my brothers growing up. It allowed myyounger brother and me to test our strength without getting tackled. I also put up a good fight when arm wrestlingwith my older brother and his friends. Their greater strength and experience made the challenge even moreinteresting. Every match seemed to end in a good laugh, no matter who won.Now I’m a scientist who studies animals in the wild. I have seen that playing is a great way to socialize; thereis so much more to play than fun and games. When humans and other animals play, they are building trust with第 5页/共 13页siblings (兄弟姐妹)and friends. They learn how far they can push their partners before anyone becomes angry orphysically hurt. That’s called “testing boundaries.”Older playmates may self-handicap, appearing to be less competent than they really are to help youngerplayers learn skills and explore their abilities. Play offers a safe space, where everyone knows the rules and canexperiment with new ways to move, think, and respond to others.Over the past 30 years, I’ve learned a lot about play by watching young male elephants test their strengththrough sparring (拳击)games with their friends and superiors. Group sparring matches are common at sunset,when several different elephant families show up at the water hole to drink.After the initial excitement of the arrival and a good long drink, young males slip away from the sides of theirwatchful moms and aunts to form sparring rings. An elder sister makes sure that the playing doesn’t get out of hand,so she is ever present with a trunk on the back or over the head to calm the enthusiasm. That way, the youngermales don’t end up on the bottom of the pile.8. What does the author want to convey by mentioning his childhood experience?A. Winning is not the true meaning of play.B Play is essential in children’s development.C. Children prefer to play traditional games.D. Arm wrestling is a safe way to test strength.9. What benefit of play does the author emphasize?A. It brings fun. B. It enables boundary breaking.C. It settles conflicts. D. It develops socializing skills.10. What does the underlined word “self-handicap” in paragraph 2 mean?A Pretend to be weaker. B. Warn others of risks.C. Show one’s strength. D. Teach others skills.11. What role does the elder sister play in young male elephants’ sparring games?A. She teaches them how to win the game.B. She helps them find a proper place for the game.C. She encourages them to compete with each other.D. She prevents the game from becoming too violent.D第 6页/共 13页If there was an app claiming to improve your memory, would you be willing to try it? It’s hard to resist theidea of having a better memory.In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range ofaccessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have foundevidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and lead to better scores on IQ tests.They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen andcondition (训练)our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedlyexercising specific muscle groups.In contrast to everyday activities like solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specificallydesigned to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that requiretracking a large number of objects while being distracted (使分心)by a secondary task, such as mental calculationsor exploring a game’s landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be beneficial for individuals withbrain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significantimprovement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain trainingcompanies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine thebest approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that short-term working memorytraining can benefit high-functioning individuals. However, it’s important to note that brain training, like diet andexercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.12. What can we know about the brain training industry?A. It mainly targets people with brain-related disabilities.B. It provides expensive mental exercises only on smartphones.C Its offered exercises are ineffective on improving mental abilities.D. It has developed quickly to meet people’s need for better memory.13. How is brain similar to muscles according to many researchers?A. Both will stop growing if the exercises are stopped.B. Both can only be improved under professional guidance.C. Both can become stronger by repeating specific exercises.第 7页/共 13页D. Both are important for people to get higher scores in IQ test.14. What do critics think of brain training?A. It can greatly improve core brain processes.B. The key effective factors of it have been found.C. Its effectiveness lacks enough strong evidence.D. It has the same effects on all individuals.15. What can be the suitable title for the text?A. Why Does Memory Determine Our IQ?B. Can Brain Training Really Improve Memory?C. What Have Scientists Found about Memory?D. How to Improve Memory Through Exercises?第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You have an important exam in a few days and you’re not feeling prepared.

She was weakened by old age, so my mom alwaysvolunteered me to help her. Mom wouldn’t let me accept any money, thinking she didn’t have much, and literally, Inever minded — after all, Mrs. Thompson had knitted me five sweaters and always made me cakes. Mostimportantly, it was the right thing to do.第 11页/共 13页Steve came rushing out of his house, and I explained the situation. As expected, he immediately said, “Alright,I’ll help.”We instantly got to work. The garage was a mess of boxes, but we gathered all our energy and soon broughtthe cleanup to an end. When arranging the last box, however, I nudged the shelf accidentally. Before I could react,a vase fell and crashed to the ground, broken into pieces.I froze, my heart pounding. The vase was beautiful with delicate designs, which must have cost a fortune.Glancing at the open garage door, I suggested, “Maybe I can just sweep this up. Mrs. Thompson won’t even notice.”I responded fast and piled the pieces into the trash bin. But Steve’s expression darkened. “That’s not how it works.You should tell her what happened.”I tried to justify myself, telling all the chores I’d done for Mrs. Thompson without pay. I even argued that itwasn’t my responsibility to pay for something I didn’t destroy on purpose. However, Steve wasn’t buying it, hisvoice firm. “You’re better than that. Be responsible.”We stood there in silence, the weight of the moment hanging between us. Just then, Mrs. Thompson walked in,giving us a scare. She smiled warmly, unaware of the whole thing. “Boys, I baked a chocolate cake. Now come infor a piece. I really appreciate all your help.”注意：(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________第 12页/共 13页第 13页/共 13页
