I don't recall exactly when air travel became depressing. From frequently canceled flights and endless fees, to narrow seating and absent food service, I find the experience upsetting.
On one such recent flight, I had a short stay at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina. Like most airports, it housed a mad rush of travelers. But there was an inviting shine: Around the crowded hall the airport had placed a long row of rocking chairs. With two hours until my connecting flight, I immediately claimed one, seated myself, and began to gently rock as I observed the passing scene. I appreciated that I had been gifted an oasis(乐土) of calm among the chaos.
And then, as if the rockers weren't enough, the second act: There was a grand piano on the other side of the hall. An older man appeared, sat down, and began to play. His touch was so loving, so invested with feeling, that I no longer felt that I was in an airport. Rather, the pianist and I were now in the oasis together. I no longer heard the noise of the crowd, but only the beautiful pieces of music.
But the benefit of the man's music went beyond the lifting of my spirits. There was something larger and more magical at work. As soon as the music began, the entire tone of the airport changed. People began to walk more slowly. Many paused to regard the pianist. A man put down his bags, placed his hands on his hips, and began to dance to the music. Now, at last, we were all in this together. I rocked, the man danced, the pianist played, and the

rapid pace of the crowd slowed to something like a walk in a familiar neighborhood.
My two-hour stay passed all too quickly, but the pianist played on. For a moment I dithered, wondering whether I should choose between my flight and more music, more rocking. But I had family waiting for me back in Maine. This flight was a pleasure or an adventure.

It is not science fiction or a prediction about the distant future. A new AI system that changes brain activity into text is here to revolutionize the way we think about communication, and has the potential to become one of the technological milestones of our era.
Many might remember Stephen Hawking, the British physicist, world-famous for his work on space and time, who used AI technology that helped him speak by detecting the tensions in his cheek muscles. Well, what's coming next is even more complex.
Neuroscientists(神经学家) at the University of California, San Francisco, have developed a new AI system that can turn neural waves into written words. These findings were revealed in the Nature Neuroscience journal, one of the world's leading multidisciplinary science journals, in March this year.
ScienceAlert, a source for the latest science news, discusses how the system uses brain implants(植入物) to track neural activity while someone is speaking. That data is then changed into numbers, which are then translated into words and sentences.
The algorithm (算法) has reached an accuracy level of 97 percent, which presents fewer errors than the average human transcriber. The numbers show high levels of accuracy. This is the closest that technology has ever come to being able to“read someone's mind”.
For now, the technology only works when someone is speaking aloud, but researchers believe that it could eventually be developed to be used for those individuals who, for some reason, are unable to speak or type. This discovery could potentially transform the lives of countless individuals for the better, greatly improving their ability to communicate with others.
While there are numerous challenges ahead, this new study combining neuroscience and machine learning using artificial intelligence, shows how fundamental technology is to improving people's lives. If we try to put ourselves in the shoes of those who can't speak for a moment, we will understand why this discovery has the potential to be such an innovative one.
28. What does the story of Stephen Hawking indicate
A. The new AI system is easy to develop.
B. The new AI system can predict the future.
C. The AI can help recognize people's voices.
D. The AI technology has played a role in reality.
第 4页(共8页)
29. How does the new AI system help convey data according to ScienceAlert
A. By turning brain signals into words.
B. By changing words into neural waves.
C. By improving the speaker's thinking ability.
D. By changing the process of brain activities.
30. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI system
A. Its popularity. B. Its high efficiency.
C. Its complexity. D. Its potentiality.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. We can completely read people's mind by AI.
B. The brain implant can restore people's voices.
C. The new AI system is a promising breakthrough in technology.
D. Technology is the only way to improve human beings’ lives.
D
Global warming is causing problems for birds in Sweden and elsewhere. Warmer springs mean that caterpillars (毛毛虫) hatch and grow earlier compared with just a few decades ago. This has consequences for birds that cannot eat proper caterpillars. Therefore, when the food supply runs out at an ever earlier time in the spring, more and more baby birds starve during the breeding(繁殖) season. This is a big problem for migratory birds that spend winters in Africa, as they do not know how early spring arrives in Sweden.
“We thought that perhaps the migratory birds could fly further north until they find a place with suitable well-developed caterpillars,” says Nilsson, biology researcher at Lund University in Sweden.
To test this in practice, the researchers decided to help some pied flycatchers (斑背鹟) along the way. The biologists caught pied flycatchers that had arrived prior to breeding in the Netherlands. The birds were then driven during the night to Vombs Fure, an area of pine forest outside Lund in Skane, where they were released. The peak of caterpillar availability in Skane is about two weeks later than in the Netherlands—a distance of around 600 kilometres that a pied flycatcher could cover in just two nights.
“The birds that were given a lift from the Netherlands to Skane synchronised (同步) very well with the food peak! As they started to breed about 10 days earlier the Swedish pied flycatchers, they had a dramatically better breeding success than the Swedish ones as well as a better success than the pied flycatchers that remained in the Netherlands,” says Nilsson. In addition, it was shown that the baby birds of the pied flycatchers that had received migration assistance arrived earlier during the migration season to find Skane.
“The number of small birds, particularly migratory birds, has decreased drastically throughout Europe. By flying a little further north, these birds, at least in principle, could synchronise with their food resources and there is hope that populations of small birds can be maintained, even though springs are arriving ever earlier,” adds Nilsson.
32. What's the problem for migratory birds spending winters in Africa
A. Global warming affects their natural habitats.
B. Their babies suffer a lot from food shortage.
C. They return to Sweden earlier compared with decades ago.
D. Only a few of them can return to the northern habitats as usual.
33. Why were some pied flycatchers driven to Vombs Fure
A. They were so tired that they can't fly anymore.
B. They preferred to the warmer climate there.
C. They were misled by the researchers during the night.
D. They could be provided with sufficient food resources.

34. What's Nilsson's attitude towards migratory birds' flying further north
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Neutral.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Migratory Birds Are at the Great Risk of Global Warming
B. Human Beings Can Live in Harmony with Migratory Birds
C. Migratory Birds Can Be Taught to Adjust to Climate Change
D. Scientists Are Using High-Tech Tools to Study Migratory Birds

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY BOOK YOU READ
Reading books can be one of life's greatest pleasures and learning experiences. 36 . Especially if you' re reading a book for more than just the pleasure of it, you have to do more than just turn over its pages. Here we will explore actionable ways to maximize the benefits of reading.
Set clear goals before reading
Understanding why you' re reading a book can significantly impact how you approach it. The right goal will help you pay attention to what's most important. If you' re reading a book about photography, you may want to pay particular attention to the images. 37 .
Make summaries for every chapter
After finishing a chapter, take a few minutes to summarize it in your own words. 38 . It also creates a handy reference guide for the future. Summarizing can be a creative process, too. Try using bullet points, mindmaps, or one-liners to capture the essence (精髓) of each chapter.
Apply what you' ve learned
39 . If a book teaches you a new approach to time management, try implementing it in your daily routine. If a novel provides a moral lesson, reflect on how it applies to your life. This active application ensures that the book leaves a lasting impact.
40
The process of reading doesn't end when you turn the last page. Regularly revisiting your notes, summaries, and reflections keeps the material fresh and relevant. Consider setting aside time each month to review previous reads and reflect how they' ve shaped your thoughts and actions. Not for every book, of course, just for the most impactful ones.
A. Review and reflect
B. Repeat reading for deeper insights
C. However, many of us struggle to remember and apply what we' ve read
D. You may notice details, themes, or ideas that were hidden during your first reading
E. Taking action on what you' ve read transforms theoretical knowledge into practical wisdom
F. This exercise deepens your understanding and helps identify the central themes and ideas
G. So spend some time reflecting on what you hope to achieve and let that guide your reading process

A Memorable April Fool's Day
I really like to trick people, especially my friends, Cherry and Harry. But after one particular day, when a strange incident happened, it changed. I learned a lot on that day.
What is the awful incident Well, it all started when Miss Beth introduced us to a new exchange student, Pei. “She is very tall,” I said to Cherry. “Speaking of heights, wouldn't she be perfect in the cheerleading team ” Cherry asked. “Maybe... Well, we’ d better keep quiet. Miss Beth is looking at us,” I said.
Surprisingly, I was assigned to guide the new girl around. During the break, I wanted to start a conversation with Pei, so I quickly approached her. “Hey, Pei,” I said. “Hello,” she replied politely. I had a short chat with her and she seemed to be a nice person. Before going home, I showed Pei around.
The next day, I was very excited because it was April Fool's Day. I planned to trick my friends with Pei since she was new. I really hoped that she would cooperate with me. So, I quickly ran to her before our English period started.
Unfortunately, Matt, a naughty schoolboy came to our classroom, realising that there wasn't any teacher in. “Go away!” I shouted. As usual, he ignored that. I took Pei's notebook and hit Matt until it fell on the floor. Well... it wasn't actually a notebook. It was Pei's diary. “Ooh, it's a diary!” shouted Matt. Then, he started to read out Pei's diary loudly. “I really think Mal is bossy and…” Matt kept reading all of Pei's inner thoughts.
I could see that Pei was embarrassed. She grabbed her diary from Matt and ran outside the classroom. I was quite upset, and had a bad feeling about the whole thing. After a while, I jumped out of seat to follow her just to say sorry. However, I couldn't find her anywhere before the school bell rang, I had to walk back to the classroom.

1.续写词数应为150左右；
