【语篇解读】 本文介绍了瑞奇菲尔德美术馆展出的物品、开放时间、入场费及注意事项等。
【答案】1.which 考查引导词。分析句子结构可知，该句是非限制性定语从句，先行词为The Richfield Museum of Fine Art，从句缺少主语，故填which。
2.highlights 考查名词。根据句意“这次展览的亮点包括……”可知应用名词的复数形式。
3.by 考查介词。由句意“唐寅的《函关雪霁图》可知由by引出动作的发出者。”
4.collection 考查词性转换。a collection of“……的收集”。
5.sculptures 考查名词的单复数。根据句意“有许多唐代雕塑的精品，”可知应用名词的复数形式。
6.amazing 考查词性转换。空格后是名词collections，故此处需填形容词修饰名词。
7.to 考查固定搭配。from...to...“从……到……”。
8.will be admitted 考查时态和语态。前面提到了展览开放的时间是从上午九点到下午五点，故此处表示下午四点半以后就不会再让人进入了。
9.free 考查词性转换。根据句意“成人、学生和儿童都有不同的门票价格，5岁以下的儿童免费。”free表示“免费的”。
10.are allowed 考查时态和语态。该句句意为“博物馆内禁止拍照或吃喝。”主语No photos or food and drink和谓语动词allow构成被动关系。

一.七选五
Scientists Create Speech from Brain Signals
Scientists have found a way to use brain signals to make a computer speak the words a person is trying to say.Some illnesses or injuries can cause people to lose the ability to speak.__1__，but they are slow.One method allows a person to “type” by moving their eyes from letter to letter to spell out words.The top speed with this method is about 10 words per minute.Normal human speech is about 150 words per minute.
Much recent research has focused on a direct connection between someone’s brain and a computer.__2__.For many BCIs，people have wires attached to their brains.This allows scientists to track the electrical signals in the brain and connect them to computers.
Scientists at the University of California，San Francisco (UCSF) decided to focus on the muscles people were trying to use when they spoke.__3__.Epilepsy (癫痫) is a condition where unusual electrical activity in the brain can cause problems with a person’s control of their body or senses.
There are about 100 muscles used for speaking.The scientists knew roughly what the shape of the mouth would have to be to make each sound.This allowed them to figure out how the brain signals controlled the speaking muscles.With that information they could “decode” the brain signals to find out how the person was moving their mouth.__4__.The scientists were surprised at how close to real speech the computer speech was.
__5__，the muscles used to make each sound are the same for everyone.That will make it easier for a system like this to help many people.
A.These people could speak normally
B.This is called a “Brain Computer Interface” (BCI)
C.There are some ways for these people to communicate
D.The UCSF’s scientists worked with a group of five people with epilepsy
E.There’s much to learn before a system like this could be used in everyday life
F.One important discovery is that though each person’s brain signals are different
G.Then the scientists were able to create computer speech sounds based on the position of the speaking muscles
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项新的科研成果。科学家已经找到了一种方法，利用大脑信号让电脑说出一个人试图说的话。
1.【答案】C 利用同义词复现策略确定答案。C选项中的these people 指代空前失去说话能力的人，C选项中的ways和空后method同义词复现。故选C。
2.【答案】B 选项B中的词汇BCI，在空后出现，起到上下文衔接的作用；选项B的主语This指代上文。许多研究都集中在人的大脑和电脑之间的一个直接联系上，这称为“大脑电脑接口”。故选B。
3.【答案】D D选项中的epilepsy，在空后出现。D选项的意思是：加州大学旧金山分校的科学家们对五名癫痫病患者进行研究。空后是说癫痫病是大脑中异常的电活动导致大脑对人的身体或感官控制出现问题。故选D。
4.【答案】G 根据上下文的逻辑关系确定答案。空后意思是：科学家们对计算机产生的语音与真实语音的接近程度感到惊讶。由此可知G项符合题意。
5.【答案】F F选项中的different与后文中的the same构成一对反义词。一个重要的发现是，虽然每个人的大脑信号是不同的，但是每个人用来发出声音的肌肉是相同的。故选F。

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。
Jack，a clerk at the local bank，was wandering alone on the street.It was a cold，silent winter night.His mind was on his wife Linda，who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in a hospital bed，waiting for more money for her operation.Jack had sold everything he had，and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could.But the real world is cruel.
A large amount of money was still needed.To Jack，it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help.“I have only one option left，”Jack said to himself.Then he went to the bank，his workplace，again.For several days，he observed the bank and planned a theft.
The next day，he went to work as usual.Everything seemed normal：he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did.But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work，instead of the small one he always carried.At 5：00 pm，the bank closed，and the clerks and the guards had all gone home.However，at that moment，Jack was in the bathroom，and the guards didn’t notice him，of course.When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark，Jack came out from the bathroom.He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase.
He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days.Using a special key and some other tools，he then easily opened the doors of the safes.The bank’s security system wasn’t very good，which allowed Jack to take a lot of money.Several minutes later，Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while，the alarms began to ring.
But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank，an old man.
【参考范文】
After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while,the alarms began to ring. The police arrived at the bank very quickly，only to find no one there.The next day was a really special day for the town，which was filled with newspapers and TV reporters covering the strange theft.The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case，of course，including Jack.The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible，even though no clues had been found yet.
But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank，an old man. He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position.At last，with enough money for her operation，Jack’s wife was saved.However，Jack felt guilty about the manager of the bank.He could not forget what he had done to the old man.His guilt deepened as time went by.Finally，he turned himself in to the police and accepted his punishment.Unit 1 Art-Using Language
