When it comes to chess, most casual fans could spend their entire lives studying a library’s worth of chess theory, only to still be routinely beaten by competitive players. The basic rules require a reasonable amount of time to memorize before anyone can make their first moves, something that has stopped many people ever trying the game. But what if there was a way to quickly improve your abilities without spending hours bending over the board That’s what Fletcher Heisler wondered before starting the journey of designing, building, and playing a custom chess set capable of delivering a Taser-like shock whenever it detects an error.
Heisler’s chess set was inspired by DIY projects like an electrified keyboard that gets its voltage (电压) from an adjusted TENS unit. Short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a TENS machine typically relies on sticky skin pads (贴片) that channel low-voltage current to stimulate muscles and deep tissue. Treatment is intended to change or even block the sense of pain in patients. At most, a TENS unit is somewhat uncomfortable or annoying. Increase the voltage, and encounters become much more memorable, which is exactly what Heisler did.
It ended up taking months of trial-and-error to create a functional electrified chessboard model though financial problems never weighed on his mind. Pain points included ensuring each piece properly conducted electricity, setting up every square with mechanical keyboard switches to facilitate the connections, and countless unintentional shocks. Math also didn’t work in Heisler’s favor. Since each chess square required wiring, every step needed repeating at least 64 times — or 128 times for two-part steps, and so on. The chessboard ultimately offers four different modes. For example, Illegal Mode shocks a player if they make a move that breaks the game’s movement rules.
While transporting the invention to its first show at an annual all-things-STEM event, he opened his suitcase to a broken chessboard not once, but twice. Thankfully, he rebuilt the machine and showed off his device. The world finally witnessed his idea come true.
4. Why did Heisler design the special chess set
A. To train professional players.
B. To help learn chess quickly.
C. To simplify basic chess rules.
D. To test the electric shock.
5. What does a TENS unit work as
A. A smart chess game engine.
B. An electric chess component.
C. A medical pain-relief device.
D. A human skin protection tool.
6. What mainly troubled Heisler in building the chessboard
A. The tough and repetitive work.
B. The shortage of math knowledge.
C. The breakdown of the chess engine.
D. The high cost of every material.
7. What can we learn from Heisler’s story
A. One should never give up easily.
B. High tech ensures learning efficiency.
C. Financial support is the key to success.
D. Creativity helps solve practical problems.
C
Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, drilling into solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while striking so hard
To study how the birds peck, Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his team first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully placed electrodes (电极) into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during effort (like weightlifters tend to do) or breathed out (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ pecks down to every four milliseconds.
To control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors — the muscles in the upper leg that help the leg move forward — to push forward, tightened their tail and abs (腹部) to prepare for the strike, and tightened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might tighten the back of your wrist when you hit a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back.
The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp outbreaths “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and breathe in on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.
8. What did Antonson and his team do during the experiment
A. They adopted multiple methods.
B. They conducted it in the wild.
C. They checked the birds’ weight lifting.
D. They tried to control the birds’ muscles.
9. In what way did the woodpeckers peck
A. They held breath while striking.
B. They employed full-body muscles.
C. They depended on their hard head.
D. They relaxed their whole bodies.
10. Why does the author mention songbirds in the last paragraph
A. To highlight woodpeckers’ rare ability.
B. To show woodpeckers’ core muscles’ role.
C. To explain their connection with woodpeckers.
D. To note woodpeckers’ sharp outbreaths’ origin.
11. How does the author explain the researchers’ findings overall
A. By listing statistics.
B. By defining concepts.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By giving practical examples.
D
Researchers chose 433 participants to evaluate science-related social media posts, some accurate and some false on purpose, covering food safety and disease prevention. Some posts carried a bright red warning: “Attention: The content was detected as being generated by AI.” Others did not. Participants rated how credible each post seemed to them.
When a false health post carried the AI label, participants rated it as more credible than the same false post without it. Accurate posts showed the opposite: The label made them seem less trustworthy. Researchers described this as a “truth-falsity crossover effect”. To understand why, consider how most people actually read social media. Nobody is fact-checking claims while reading. Instead, readers rely on habitual thought processes to decide what feels believable. An AI label appears to function as one of those shortcuts, but not in the way anyone intended.
The researchers suggest one possible explanation. The label may draw on a widespread idea that AI is objective and data-driven. Misinformation, typically written to sound plausible, could benefit from that association. Accurate science posts, which tend to involve qualified claims and layered reasoning, may get hurt by it. A label saying “a machine made this” might signal cold, mechanical precision by chance, even when the content is flat-out wrong.
Health posts are not simply claims. They are explanations. Readers must trust not just the facts but the reasoning behind them. An AI label may short-circuit that trust in accurate content while lending false authority to misinformation written to sound like settled fact. The researchers proposed one potential fix worth testing: pairing an AI warning label with a second label, something along the lines of a caution that the content has not been independently proven. Rather than letting the AI label carry all the interpretive weight, a two-part reminder might encourage more careful reading across the board. It’s an untested idea, but a logical direction given what the study found.
12. What causes the truth-falsity crossover effect
A. The AI label’s warning color.
B. Accurate posts’ layered reasoning.
C. Misinformation’s generous tone.
D. Readers’ automatic thinking patterns.
13. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Optional.
B. Authoritative.
C. Convincing.
D. False.
14. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Labels lack evidence to aid readers.
B. Removing labels harms our interest.
C. Adding extra labels reduces trust.
D. Labels need further improving.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Accurate Posts Suffer from AI Labels
B. Doubters Distrust True Labeled Posts
C. AI Labels Can Mislead Public Judgment
D. False Claims Can Profit from AI Labels

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 a sudden flood struck a small remote village last summer, many villagers lost their homes and daily necessities.
The flood had washed away parts of the road, leaving deep holes filled with muddy water and broken branches lying everywhere. As soon as the rescue call was sent out, Gwyneth, a college student, and Tobin, a local delivery driver, volunteered to bring food, water and blankets to the trapped people. They packed the supplies carefully and set off early in the morning. However, the heavy rain poured down nonstop, together with thick fog that cut down visibility to only a few meters. The road was hard to recognize — they got lost.
The rain kept beating down harder, wetting their clothes through the windows. The strong wind made the truck shake slightly. Gwyneth and Tobin drove around helplessly, their hearts sinking with each passing minute. They stared at the map anxiously, looking worried. Tobin even stuck his head out of the window, only to be met by more heavy rain and thick fog. Worried that the villagers would soon run out of food and water, they felt hopeless about finding the right way.
Just as they were about to stop and check the map again, they heard faint crying from a damaged house not far away. They rushed over, stepping carefully through the muddy pools, and found an old grandmother and her little granddaughter trapped on the second floor. Shaking with hunger, they had no clean water or dry clothes left.
Gwyneth and Tobin did not hesitate to help. Tobin quickly climbed a weak ladder (梯子) to the second floor, while Gwyneth passed up bottled water and bread from their supplies. They handed the food to the two survivors gently. Gwyneth dried the girl’s wet face with a clean cloth and then wrapped her in a warm blanket. Tobin checked the house carefully, moving away loose pieces of the roof and broken wood to make sure it was safe from further danger.

A Proposal for a Green Graduation Season
Dear Senior Three Students,
As graduation draws near, many of us will throw away textbooks, exercise books and daily supplies, causing serious waste. Most of these items are still usable and should not be simply abandoned.
To live a low-carbon life, we can donate intact books and stationery to junior students or exchange old things among classmates. We may also sell waste paper for recycling.
Let us take action to make our graduation green and meaningful.
Yours,
Li Hua

During their talk, the grandmother learned of Gwyneth and Tobin’s trouble. She told them she knew all the hidden safe paths around the village, having lived here for decades. The fog and damaged roads confused outsiders easily, but she could lead them around muddy holes and fallen trees. She offered to go with them at once, saying she could not bear to see villagers waiting anxiously for relief supplies. Gwyneth and Tobin were overjoyed and thanked her sincerely.
With the grandmother as a guide, they headed for the village again. Following her clear directions, they avoided dangerous muddy pits and cleared broken branches blocking the road together. Soon they arrived at the flooded village and handed out all supplies to the hungry villagers. Everyone expressed sincere gratitude. Gwyneth and Tobin realized kindness creates a warm cycle: helping others would in turn bring help when you are stuck.
