The great elephant stands in the ht African sun.Slwly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls arund the leaves f a nearby tree，pulling ut the leaves and plitely slipping them int its muth.
The beast's great grey skin is partly brken and aged frm the African sun.Sme mud drps n ne side frm its last trip t a nearby river.Its rugh hair sticks ut frm all ver its skin and tw large，white tusks curve elegantly frm either side f its muth.
Smewhere a lin rars and smething else gives a lud high shut.A vulture （秃鹫） drifts ver far abve this wrld，barely a black dt in the sky.The buzzing f the cuntless bush insects seems t cllectively shift up in high tune，almst like the whle f the savanna （热带草原） was singing sme sng that nly they knew.
I peer thrugh the lens （镜头） at this scene.The zm lens shws almst every detail f the elephant：the three small cuts in its left ear frm playing as a baby arund thrn trees，the scar dwn its frnt leg where a lin caught it unaware as a yung adult，and weathering n its great，valuable tusks frm decades f living in this unfrgiving grassland n a dusty cntinent.
And then the elephant lks at me.
It lks at me with thse big，eyelashed eyes with a warmth cming utwards frm a vast，hidden depth there.I can suddenly feel its sul，and feel the line f elephants that came befre this ne，trailing back t the very beginnings f this great savanna.We will never understand what wnders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered t each ther acrss the ages n this ld，sacred grassland.
It lks at me，and it lks thrugh me and sees me.
The elephant knws I am there.It always did.It is nt running away，nr is it fighting.It accepts and frgives.It lves.But，mstly，it just feels sad.It feels srry fr me.I cannt d this anymre.
I take my eye ff the sights and hand the gun back t my partner. "Let's g hme，" I said in a quiet vice， "let's just g hme."

We ften think f fingerprints as the tiny arched patterns n the tip f each finger.They are regarded as special markers f human identity，even mre individualized than DNA.But new research suggests ur brains have "fingerprints" that are equally unchanging and unique t each persn.
With mdern neurimaging （神经影像） techniques，scientists can track yur brain's distinct signature cmpsed f tens f thusands f electrical signals that cmmunicate acrss the brain.The final prduct is a picture f brain's electrical activity that is detailed，distinct and difficult t change.Accrding t Zack Y.Shan，head f the neurimaging platfrm at the Thmpsn Institute， "The brain is a symphny rchestra （交响乐团）. " Each regin plays a unique instrument and adapts t wrk with nearby tunes at the same time.This cperatin leads t ur thughts and actins. "And n tw symphnies sund exactly alike， "Shan adds.
A recent study published in Sleep maps the extent f this neurdiversity thrugh EEG snapshts （脑电图快照），which describe the sleeping brain's electrical activity as wavy lines.Led by Michael Prerau，a prfessr f medicine at Harvard Medical Schl，the researchers analyzed brainwave data f sleep spindles，ne t tw secnds evident neural activity assciated with ur ability t turn shrt-term memries int lng-term memries.
Fr Dara S.Manach，a c-authr f the Sleep study and prfessr f psychlgy at Harvard Medical Schl，the sleeping brain is a "new frntier" fr studying the treatment f memry prblems in neurlgical disrders.She ntes that lack f sleep spindle activities has been linked t different mental diseases like epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.S，the researchers cmpared tw nights f sleep recrdings frm healthy participants t thse with Alzheimer's disease.Their analysis revealed that their bradened apprach t analyzing sleep spindles als culd unearth new bilgical indicatrs fr Alzheimer's disease. "It's a first step t better understanding hw the disrder perates and develping targeted treatments， " Manach says.
Mrever，brain fingerprints may ffer inspiratins that traditinal therapeutic（治疗性的） bservatin can't.Patients with different diseases can have similar symptms. "That's where neurimaging cmes int play.Brain fingerprints are windws int distinguishing between tw patients wh seem identical， "explains Dan Hermens，a prfessr f neurbilgy at the Thmpsn Institute.
In the wake f increasing reprts f mental disrders，there is therapeutic prmise.Brain fingerprinting culd ffer a ptential way ut f the dark chapter and prvide new pssibilities fr the mental health crisis using best evidence-based practices t vercme it.
9.What can we learn abut the brain's "fingerprint"？ ______
A. It can track electrical signals in the brain.
B. It refers t the pattern f the surface f the brain.
C. It cnstructs an individualized map f brain structure.
D. It shws the unique image f the brain's electrical activity.
10.Accrding t the passage，the sleeping brain is a "new frntier" because ______ .
A. recrding brain fingerprints enhances memry
B. brainwave data can identify specific mental illnesses
C. EEG can frm bilgical indicatrs fr human identity
D. neurimaging prevents the develpment f mental disrders
11.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage？ ______
A. Sleep Fingerprints Predict Disease Occurrence
B. Sleeping Brains：Ideas and Actins Cntrlled
C. Sleep Fingerprints：Brain Identity Revealed
D. Sleeping Brains Uncver Memry Cdes

With the release f large language mdels（LLMs），peple are trying t understand the nature f their intelligence.
Many peple view LLMs as similar t an individual human mind.Others have prpsed entirely different ways f cnceptualizing them：as rle players that can imitate many different characters；as cultural technlgies like libraries and encyclpedias；as mirrrs f human disagreements in the AI wrld n hw t think abut LLMs are clearly revealed in this diverse array f metaphrs.Given ur limited understanding f LLMs，it has been argued that"metaphrs（比喻） are all we have fr the mment t circle that black bx."
Humans tend t anthrpmrphize nnhumans，including animals，crpratins，and even the weather.But we are particularly vulnerable t this tendency when faced with AI systems that talk with us in fluent language，using first persn prnuns，and telling us abut their"feelings".
Sme experts urge the public t avid anthrpmrphizing AI and t think f AI systems as "tls"rather than as "creatures"，but LLMs are designed t achieve quite the ppsite effect：t make humans cnceptualize them as individual minds.
The LLM-as-mind metaphr is being used in legal arguments.All the big AI cmpanies have trained their mdels n ed texts withut permissin r cmpensatin；and therefre facing lawsuits fr cpyright infringement（侵犯版权）.Defendants argue that AI training n cpyrighted materials is"fair use"，since LLMs are like human minds.They believe"If everything is just cpyright then we shuldn't be reading textbks and learning because that wuld be cpyright infringement."
Legal schlar Jacqueline Charleswrth cuntered that this metaphr is intentinally misleading："AI cmpanies rely n ur natural understanding f human intellectual ability and anthrpmrphic language t encurage the misperceptin that AI machines learn and create like humans —that is，that they are capable f cnceptual thinking and generalizatin frm specific knwledge."Ging further，linguist Emily Bender nted that equating an LLM's prcessing f its training text with a human reading and learning frm bks "rests n minimizing what it is t be human".
AI researchers are still struggling t find the right metaphrs t understand ur mysterius creatins.But as we humans make chices n hw we use these systems，hw we study them，and hw we craft and apply laws and regulatins t keep them safe and ethical，we need t be acutely aware f the ften uncnscius metaphrs that shape ur evlving understanding f the nature f their intelligence.
12.Why are varius metaphrs mentined in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. T highlight LLMs' multiple functins.
B. T demnstrate cnflicting perspectives.
C. T express human cncerns ver LLMs.
D. T shw the limitatin f human cgnitin.
13.What des the underlined wrd" anthrpmrphize"in Paragraph 3 mean？ ______
A. Humanize.B. Simplify.C. Autmate.D. Priritize.
14.What will Charleswrth prbably agree with？ ______
A. AI machines learn and create like human beings d.
B. The public shuld regard LLMs as cnscius beings.
C. AI training n ed materials requires permissin.
D. Using LLMs harms human cnceptual thinking and creativity.
15.What's the purpse f the passage？ ______
A. T advcate giving legal persnhd t varius LLMs.
B. T shw the disagreements n the understanding f LLMs.
C. T discuss the legal and ethical prblems caused by LLMs.
D. T warn us f the hidden influences f metaphrizing LLMs.
