A few years ago, Casey Harrell was diagnosed with a deadly brain disease. The disease left him unable to say a word. But last year, a doctor implanted tiny electrodes in the speech center of Harrell's brain. They picked up brainwaves that a computer could translate into words. Today, the middle-aged man can "speak" again.
Using recordings of his voice taken prior to his disease, scientists were able to train an artificial intelligence (AI) model. With its help, Harrell now "speaks" through an electronic voice synthesizer (语音合成器). And thanks to that AI, his synthetic voice sounds similar to the natural voice he once had.
"One of the things that people with my disease suffer from is isolation and depression," Harrell says. Without the new technology, these individuals don't feel they are valued by society any longer. With it, he and others like him may be able to actively participate in society again.
"This new technology offers by far the most accurate speech-decoding ever described," says David Brandman, the neurosurgeon at the University of California, Davis Health, who implanted the devices in Harrell's brain. His team shared details of how the technology worked in the August 14 New England Journal of Medicine. Brandman emphasizes this technology isn't a mind reader. It can't listen to someone's secret thoughts. It only works when the users want it to-when they are trying to speak. "There are thousands of people in the US right now who want to talk, but can't," says Brandman. "They are trapped in their own bodies." One day, this technology may assist many of them to get their voices back.
Electrical signals from the brain travel along neurons to control every movement in the body. Different parts of the brain turn on each time a person waves a hand, runs, or smiles. Those electrical signals travel down pathways to activate the muscles one wants to use. But injury or disease can damage parts of those neural pathways. This can keep the electrical signals from reaching the muscles needed to move or speak.
4. How do scientists make Harrell's synthetic voice so natural
A．By curing his voice and recording it.
B．By recording AI voice and training it.
C．By using AI to copy his previous voice.
D．By picking up brainwaves to translate them.
5. Which aspect of Harrell does the new technology improve
A．Political status.
B．Economic income.
C．Artistic appreciation.
D．Communicative competence.
6. What does Brandman think of the new technology
A．It reads mind accurately.
B．It discloses the users' secrets.
C．It is helpful with a great prospect.
D．It activates users to think normally.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The little significance of brainwaves.
B．The original source of electrical signals.
C．The key role of the brain in the human body.
D．The work principle behind the new technology.
C
The seemingly lifeless Arctic water below the ice near Northern Finland has a temperature only slightly above 0 ℃. But some people are about to jump down there to venture under the ice. Sophie Kalkowski-Pope is one of the divers preparing to visit this strange, upside-down world where she will swim below a ceiling of smooth ice. The marine biology graduate is part of an ice-diving training party that has gathered here.
It’s so freezing that even with thermal clothing and special gloves, divers find it hard to use their hands after just 30 minutes underwater. There are other dangers, too, so strict safety rules are in place. Divers are tied to the surface, using a safety rope, with a handler on the surface communicating with the diver via rope signals. One tug for “OK”, two tugs for “stop”, three for “come back”.
Scientists, driven to understand the changes unfolding here, are going to extremes to carry out their fieldwork. Some are learning ice diving techniques, so that they may observe underwater Arctic ecosystems and document the quickening disappearance of the ice. Their short and sometimes dangerous expeditions are revealing the secrets of a rapidly melting world. By studying changes in sea ice, scientists are able to gain a better understanding of how quickly climate change is unfolding. Ice diving, in particular, allows researchers to collect first-hand data on ice thickness, density (密度) and movement as well as water temperatures and salinity. The polar regions also have unique plants and animals adapted to living in extremely cold conditions, and some of these organisms are visible during ice dives.
“Climate change is progressing at such a rate that decisions are sometimes not made with the latest available scientific knowledge. This is a problem. We need to keep science at the forefront,” said Sophie. But there is also the exciting attraction of fieldwork like this — going to places where few humans can, in order to document our planet a little better. That keeps researchers like her returning to the dark world under the ice. “There is, of course, also an element of adventure that drives us,” she added.
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A．To draw readers’ attention.
B．To state the topic of the text.
C．To highlight researchers’ hardship.
D．To show a strange party for graduates.
9. Why do some researchers learn to dive under ice
A．To test warm diving equipment.
B．To track rapid environmental shifts.
C．To experience adventurous fieldwork.
D．To study creatures in the cold-water sea.
10. Which word can best describe Sophie
A．Fearless.
B．Cautious.
C．Demanding.
D．Mysterious.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A．The Fast Disappearance of Arctic Sea Ice
B．A Scientific Mission Below the Freezing Point
C．A Way to Find Out Secrets Under the Arctic Ice
D．The Dangers of Arctic Ice Diving for Researchers

In the TV series, Doctor Who, treeborgs supply fresh air to spaceship passengers. Part tree, part robot, these devices transform starlight into oxygen. In Nnedi Okorafor’s novel, Zahrah the Windseeker, children receive their own “flora (植物群) computers”. These are personal machines made of leaves, grown from CPU seeds and shaped into useful tech. Although these devices may be fictional, flower-powered machines are getting real. This new generation of devices is a type of biohybrid technology.
Engineers have attempted to make robots that work like living things. “But re-creating the complex functions of a hand or a leaf is impossible with artificial materials,” says Anand Mishra, an engineer at Cornell University in Ithaca, N. Y. Using life-forms to build machines can overcome some limits of human technology, though. Researchers like Mishra are looking at how fungi (真菌) and plants can give machines abilities they couldn’t achieve with electronics alone. Among these life-forms, fungi have drawn special attention for their unique biological features.
Fungi aren’t plants. They’re more closely related to animals. But Mishra used one of the fungi’s most plantlike features, mycelia (菌丝), to help his bots sense their surroundings. Fungi use these rootlike structures to tunnel through soil for nutrients. Mycelia also detect environmental cues such as light, heat, and chemicals.
Mishra’s team grew mycelia directly into electrodes (电极) on two robots. The fungi communicated with the robots via electrical signals known as action potentials, whose electrical pulses are similar to those generated by the human heart and nerve cells. Mycelia could produce natural action potentials, and such random electrical bursts enabled the biobots to walk or move around. When exposed to external light, mycelia sent out stronger electrical pulses, which changed the robots’ gait and proved their ability to sense environmental changes.
Using fungi in biohybrid robots is still “pretty new”, Mishra says. His team now hopes to test how such tech responds to other cues, such as gases and chemicals. One day, their robots’ sensory superpowers may help out in agriculture. Future mushroom bots may walk through crop fields, testing soil health and other conditions as they go.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A．By giving examples.
B．By analyzing causes.
C．By raising questions.
D．By making comparisons.
13. Why did Mishra choose mycelia for the research
A．Because of its rich nutrients.
B．Because of its limited forms.
C．Because of its sensory ability.
D．Because of its external features.
14. What does the underlined word “gait” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The source of light.
B．The way of walking.
C．The reason for change.
D．The potential for growth.
15. What does the last paragraph stress about fungal robots
A．Their weaknesses.
B．Their prospects.
C．Their research process.
D．Their production background.
第二节 七选五
Are you starting work on a sci-fi story but stuck on how to design its background Here are some tips.
Decide when your story takes place. Sure, sci-fi is often set in the future, but it doesn't have to be. You could have aliens rolling into a small town in the 2050s, or write a time travel story that goes back into the past. Picking the distant future gives you tons of freedom to get creative. If you set it in the past, you're more boxed in. 16. _______
Research real locations and their histories to incorporate them into your world. Even if your story takes place on a distant planet, take influence from cultures and events here on Earth. 17. _______ Experiment with mixing different cultural practices when creating an alien race. For example, you may blend a nomadic (游牧的) culture in which characters dress like the Vikings.
18. _______ Most of your science should be loosely rooted in reality. Otherwise, readers may get lost in the universe you're creating. If you're introducing new technology that is completely foreign to readers, be sure to describe it in enough detail for them to picture it clearly. The sci-fi novel The Martian relies on real science to send a man to Mars. 19. _______
Figure out what the main conflict of the story is. This will give the story an end goal and frame the narrative for readers. 20. _______ The battle may be between your alien characters or between an alien character and a human character. Say your aliens have taken over the human world because their planet is no longer habitable. This setup may then result in a human hero who tries to fight the aliens with a special ability.
A．Keep track of recent scientific breakthroughs.
B．Ground your world's rules in existing science
C．This human is then able to access their conversations.
D．That little connection will make your story easier to relate to.
E．Then it shows how he manages to survive after being left behind.
F．It will also allow you to heighten tension through your characters.
G．You'll have to do your homework on what was happening back then.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was eighteen, I worked in fast food. But I didn't like it. It didn't start out that way. When I first started working, that little restaurant was my whole social life. I'd been a sheltered kid, and it was exciting to hang around such a diverse, worldly crew of young adults. For a while, I loved everything about it: making the food on the line, learning a whole new cuisine I'd never eaten before, joking with coworkers and customers at the front counter.
Over time, though, it started to wear on me. There were buses that pulled in one minute before closing time, letting off kids who'd mess up the place and make me clean it again. The split shifts (轮班) I was assigned took up my entire day, but in the end, they didn't really bring in much extra pay.
Then I was assigned to work in the drive-through window, where customers could be served without having to get out of their cars. Loud vehicles rattled my eardrums and overpowered the voice of the person who was ordering. There were people who spoke so softly that I assumed they were talking to each other in the car until they shouted at me because I hadn't acknowledged them.
There were also some people who were talking to each other and got mad at me when I asked them to confirm that I'd gotten their order right. There were people who left their radios on, which also obscured (使……模糊) their voices. Other people came to the window stinking (有难闻的气味) of smoke. They shouted at me for getting orders wrong after they had changed their minds five times at the ordering station.
I came to fear every day I was scheduled to work. It didn't take long for me to realize this was unsustainable. Nothing was going to change unless it was me. I had two choices: be miserable or figure out how to get into a better mental space at work.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

I decided to change my way of serving the customers driving past my window.

My Healthy Habit
To live a healthy and fulfilling life, I have stuck to two good habits for a long time, which are regular exercise and early sleeping.
I keep jogging for 30 minutes every morning and never stay up late to scroll through phones. These simple habits have benefited me greatly. Physically, I become stronger and full of energy. Mentally, I feel relaxed and focused in my study. As a result, I can deal with study pressure more efficiently. I believe healthy lifestyles are the foundation of long-term progress.
47. 读后续写 范文（150词左右）
I decided to change my way of serving the customers driving past my window.
Instead of feeling annoyed by noisy vehicles and unclear orders, I chose to stay calm and patient. I took the initiative to speak louder and greet customers warmly. Whenever I failed to catch their orders, I asked politely for confirmation rather than feeling frustrated. I also told myself not to take customers’ bad moods personally. Every time I faced tricky situations, I took a deep breath and focused on solving problems instead of complaining.
The change made a big difference.
Gradually, most customers responded to my kindness with smiles and polite words. Order mistakes decreased sharply, and my working pressure was greatly relieved. I no longer feared my shifts and even enjoyed communicating with different people. This experience taught me a precious lesson: we cannot change the environment, but we can change our attitude. A positive mind turns annoying troubles into valuable growth, which benefits me a lot in my daily life.
