三、阅读理解
A
Gvernrs,lawyers and business leaders have t deal with scientists,and every educated persn finds his views affected by science.Yet ur science teaching f nn-scientists,in schl and cllege,has built up mistaken ideas,dislikes,and the cmmn bast,“I never did understand science.” Even thse students wh arrive at cllege with plans t becme scientists usually bring a mistaken picture f science:sme have a cllectin f unrganised facts abut science,and sme regard the study f science as a game which includes getting the right answer.
The first f these attitudes seems t cme frm a kind f curse which prvides varius kinds f infrmatin.The secnd,frm a training curse n hw t pass examinatins that d nt ask abut the student’s understanding but simply require him t put the numbers in the right frmulas(公式).Neither type f curses (in schl r cllege) seems t give students an understanding f science as we find it amng scientists.Neither shws students hw real scientists wrk and think,hw the facts are gathered,hw discveries are made,and what they mean.Yung peple need gd teaching f science,nt s much a great wealth f knwledge as a healthy understanding f the nature f science.They need an understanding f knwledge leading t sympathy with science and an eagerness f the way scientists wrk.Given these,it is easy t encurage later reading and learning.
1.One f the reasns that can cause mistaken ideas f science is due t .
A.a mistaken picture in students’ mind
B.the unscientific way f teaching science
C.the fact that students fail t see the influence f science
D.the fact that students have a cllectin f unrelated facts abut science
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段可知造成错误的科学观念的原因之一是不科学的科学教学方法。故选B项。
2.Accrding t the passage,we can safely say that the subject f the passage is .
A.need fr gd science teaching
B.every persn,including gvernrs,lawyers and business leaders shuld study science
C.yung peple shuld frm a crrect attitude t science
D.students must knw what science is and hw scientists wrk and think

3.A gd curse f science is .
A.t teach students t d things accrding t frmulas
B.t prvide students with all kinds f infrmatin
C.t help students have a gd understanding and frm a crrect attitude t science

B
Eln Musk,perhaps the wrld’s mst brilliant businessman,has a habit f making statements that stretch the bunds f believability.
On July 16th,2019,he intrduced a new type f brain-machine interface(BMI),starting frm the design f a “neural lace(神经织网)”,a net f thin electrdes(电极) that capture the infrmatin frm the brain.Hwever,the electrdes must be flexible,s that they d nt damage brain tissue and will last fr a lng time.And t make the implantatin(植入) f s many electrdes safe,painless and effective,the prcess has t be autmated.
Mr Musk’s team des indeed seem t have made prgress twards these gals.Its presentatin includes vides f a rbt that is best described as a sewing machine.This rbt grabs “threads”,and shts them deep int the brain thrugh a hle.The firm has als designed a chip that can handle signals frm as many as 3,072 electrdes.
With all these technlgical breakthrughs,the firm nw hpes t help peple vercme such illnesses as blindness and paralysis.They designed a small device that wuld sit behind smene’s ear,picking up signals frm the implanted chip and passing them n as apprpriate.In a few years,using a brain implant t cntrl yur devices may be as prevalent as wearing wireless earphnes tday.Finally,Musk predicts neural lace will allw humans t be cmbined with AI systems,thus enabling the species t survive.
Thugh,as this annuncement shws,Mr Musk des have a habit f presenting himself as the her f the human race,at least the cncept that sme machines will cme under the direct cntrl f human brains seems pssible t be carried ut.The biggest barrier t this happening will prbably nt be writing the sftware needed t interpret brainwaves,but rather persuading peple that the necessary surgery,whether by sewing machine r therwise,is actually a gd idea.
5.We can learn frm the first tw paragraphs that .
A.electrdes shuld be flexible t extend life
B.Eln Musk cnstantly cmes up with unexpected ideas
C.a neural lace is used t stre infrmatin frm the brain
D.electrdes are implanted by tp surgens fr safety reasns
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段以及第二段中的“On July 16th,2019,he intrduced a new type f brain-machine interface (BMI)”可知,Eln Musk经常能提出前所未闻的想法,B项符合题意。故选B项。
6.What des the underlined wrd “prevalent” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A.Useful. B.Cmmn.
C.Prfessinal.D.Apprpriate.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“They designed a small device that wuld sit behind smene’s ear,picking up signals frm the implanted chip and passing them n as apprpriate.”可知,画线词所在句表述为几年后,与现在形成对比,表明这项技术会变得更为普遍,就像戴无线耳机一样。故B项cmmn“普遍的”切合题意。故选B项。
7.What is the hardest part f carrying ut BMI?
A.Cnvincing peple t accept the surgery.
B.Develping devices t perfrm the surgery.
C.Writing the sftware t interpret brainwaves.
D.Infrming peple f the success f the surgery.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The biggest barrier t this happening will prbably nt be writing the sftware needed t interpret brainwaves,but rather persuading peple that the necessary actually a gd idea.”可知,实施BMI最艰难的部分是说服人们接受必要的外科手术。故选A项。
8.What is the best title f this passage?
A.The Neural Lace,a New Type f BMI
B.Eln Musk,the Her f Human Beings
C.Artificial Intelligence,the Way t Survive
D.A Brain Implant,a Step t Cntrl Machines
答案:A
解析:标题归纳题。根据第二段中的“On July 16th,2019,he intrduced a new type f brain-machine interface (BMI)”可知,2019年7月16日,他介绍了一种新型的脑机接口。接下来全文围绕新型脑机接口(BMI)进行展开说明,因此A项“神经织网,一种新型的脑机接口”切题。故选A项。
四、微写作
结合课文主题,使用本单元所学单词与句型写一篇50词左右的短文。
1.众所周知,霍乱是一种严重的疾病,每次暴发都给全世界人民蒙上一层阴影。(chlera;severe;cast a shadw ver;break ut)
