第一部分选择题（共75分）
一、单项选择（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
1. Following the girl, we went into a hall; on __________ walls hung a few pictures of some famous scientists.
A. its B. which
C. whose D. those
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：跟着这个女孩，我们进入了一个墙上挂着几张一些著名科学家的画的大厅。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构非限制性定语从句修饰先行词hall，从句中缺少walls的定语，故用whose。故选C。
2. Moving abroad means entering a culture __________ the customs and the language are different.
A. where B. when C. which D. whose
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：移居国外意味着进入一种习俗和语言不同的文化。此处是限定性定语从句，修饰先行词culture，关系词替代先行词在从句作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故选A。
3. Currently, about 35,000 works ________ in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything.
A. were displaying B. are displaying
C. were being displayed D. are being displayed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。目前，大约有35000件作品陈列在卢浮宫的300多个展室里，要看完所有的展品恐怕要花一辈子的时间。根据上文“Currently(目前)”可知，应该用现在进行时；display与主语works之间为被动关系，所以用现在进行时的被动。故选D。
4. All the scientific evidence ______ that increasing use of chemicals in farming______ damaging our health.
A. show; are B. shows; are
C. show; is D. shows; is
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：所有的科学证据都表明，农业中不断增加的化学品使用正在损害我们的健康。前一个空中，因为evidence是不可数名词，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数，因此第一空是shows；that引导的是一个宾语从句，从句中的主语是“use of chemicals”，意思为“化学品的使用”，是抽象意义的名词，谓语动词要用单数，因此第二空是is，故选D。
5. The old gentleman never fails to help ________ is in need of his help.
A. whom B. who C. whoever D. whomever
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：这位老先生从不忘记帮助任何需要他帮助的人。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“无论谁”应用whoever，故选C。
6. The shop owner will get all these goods ordered ___________ to the customers today.
A. to deliver B. delivering C. deliver D. delivered
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：商店的主人要在今天把所有顾客预定的货物投递给各位顾客。本句中的ordered是一个过去分词做定语修饰名词goods，指预定好的货物。These goods与动词deliver之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词短语在句中做get的宾语补足语。故选D。
7. Having been attacked by terrorists, ______
A. doctors came to their rescue B. the tall building collapsed
C. an emergency measure was taken D. warnings were given to tourists
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意：由于受到恐怖分子的袭击，这座高楼倒塌了。根据“Having been attacked by terrorists”可知，分词作状语，分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语为同一个主语，再根据句意可知，由于这座高楼受到恐怖分子的袭击，这座高楼倒塌了。故选B项。
8. ______ a strong storm took place in that country.
A. Word that came B. Word which came C. Word came which D. Word came that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：消息传来，那个国家发生了一场强风暴。结合选项和句子可知，本句是同位语从句，从句句子成分完整，句意完整，用that引导，“消息传来”翻译为“word come”，从句使用的一般过去时，主句也用一般过去时。故选D。
9. Mr. Black is very happy because the clothes made in his factory have never been _________.
A. popular B. more popular C. most popular D. the most popular
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词比较级。句意：史密斯先生非常高兴，因为在他的工厂生产的汽车从来没有这么受欢迎过。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处考查否定词和比较级连用，表示最高级概念。故选B。
10. Meeting my uncle after all these years was an unforgettable moment, _______ I will always treasure.
A. that B. one
C. it D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意：在这么多年后见到我的叔叔是一个令人难忘的时刻，一个我将永远珍惜的时刻。A. that那个；B.one一个；C. it它；D. what什么。根据句意和句子结构可知，本题所设定的代词是an unforgettable moment的同位语，因为该名词短语不是特指，故用代词one，one之后是省略了关系代词的定语从句。故选B项。
二、阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
A
Once upon a time, a poor widow in China opened a noodle shop. The noodles were good, but the spicy, crunchy sauce she put on them was even better. Soon, people came from far and wide to buy it (while rivals tried their best to copy it). The enterprising widow, Tao Huabi, decided to open a factory to bottle her magic sauce. It became the best-selling chile-sauce brand in China and made Ms. Tao a billionaire.
This is the true story of chile crisp, a chile oil boosted by crunchy chiles (菜椒), fermented (发酵) soybeans, garlic and, okay, MSG. The“it”condiment (调味料) of the pandemic, this vigorous booster of taste and texture is a gift to fatigued cooks who struggle to find joy in the kitchen. Unlike so many game-changing Asian ingredients that Westemers “discover”, this one is actually relatively new. Ms. Tao launched her Lao Gan Ma, or “God-mother” brand in 1997. It is now available worldwide.
Noodles, dumplings and stir-fries are obvious and very good uses for this sauce. But the chile-crisp-mad internet has inspired all manner of mashups. Chile crisp on broccoli, pineapple and even vanilla ice cream are all guaranteed to gamer (获得) likes.
11. What can we learn about chile crisp according to paragraph 2
A. Cooks often send chile crisp to others as a gift.
B. Chile crisp is mixed up with many other ingredients.
C. The story behind chile crisp is attractive to many foreigners.
D. Chile crisp was discovered by Westerners first.
12. The captions (说明文字) from the illustration shown in the article are meant to ______.
A. list the ingredients of the popular chile sauce
B. explain the procedures for making chile crisp
C. illustrate the design of the chile sauce brand label
D. introduce the ways chile crisp goes with various dishes
13. This article aims to ______.
A. promote the product “God-mother”
B. introduce the enterpriser Tao Huabi
C. list innovated ways to eat chile crisp
D. present the popularity of chile crisp
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. A
【解析】

Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the Internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end
Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.
However it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be dull enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 percent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.
18. What does the underlined word “shun” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A develop B. avoid C. change D. trust
19. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3
A. The possible treatment for particular diseases.
B. The process of human-computer interaction.
C. The existing application of microchip implants.
D. The future of microchips and devices alike.
20. Which of the following is NOT the concern about the implanting technology
A. The right materials used for the chips.
B. The exact position in the brain for the chips.
C. The chips’ precise sensitivity to function in the brain.
D. The extensive use of the chips on all humans.
21. What might be the best title for the text
A. Computer-brain Interface: The Light of the Future
B. Innovation is Necessary to Make Progress
C. Where are We in the Medical Technology
D. Mind-controlled Tech: Is It Possible
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. B 21. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。
【18题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“There are computer microchips in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets!(我们的手表、汽车、电灯开关、甚至我们的宠物里都有计算机微芯片)”说明电脑芯片在人们日常生活中已经是普遍存在，从而推知划线词句“在我们的世界里，几乎很难避开科技”，shun意思是“回避，不用”。故选B。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.(由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息，微芯片和其他相关设备早已被植入大脑)”提到微芯片和其他相关设备早已被植入大脑，结合第三段“For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.(例如，电极已经植入癫痫患者的大脑，以便更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。类似地，通过植入设备引起大脑关键区域活动的深部脑刺激，是治疗帕金森氏症等疾病的既定方法，甚至正在研究治疗抑郁症等疾病。)”可知，作者是通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。故选C。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of.(还有一些实际问题，尤其是这些芯片将由什么制成)”和“Implants would need to be dull enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.(植入物需要足够迟钝，以免干扰其存在的微妙过程，但也要足够敏感，以读取和处理周围的活动。目前的技术已经取得了令人印象深刻的进步，但如果要推广到数百万人身上，我们需要百分之百地确定它是安全的)”可知，关于植入技术的担心包括芯片所用的合适材料、芯片对大脑功能的精确敏感度和芯片在人类身上的广泛应用，不包括芯片在大脑中的确切位置，故选B。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据倒数第二段中“How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain (有多少人真想把科技真正地植入他们的大脑？)”和最后一段“Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.(最终，计算机-脑接口植入技术离我们还很遥远)”可知，本文探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。D项“大脑控制技术：这可能吗？”符合主题，故选D。
D
Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals’ activity dropped right down.”
On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.
Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions ( 离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.
22. How did scientists conduct the study
A. By comparing different animals’ habits.
B. By observing animals in high mountains.
C. By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.
D. By analyzing images of animals they obtained.
23. What can be inferred from animal activity before earthquakes
A. The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized.
B. Cameras normally record more animals per day.
C. Earthquake warnings can be detected in lower places.
D. The activity of animals and earthquakes is consistent.
24. What can we learn from the text
A. The findings make for accurate seismic forecast.
B. Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions.
C. Positive ions make humans and animals depressed.
D. All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Negative Influence of Positive Ions.
B. Ions’ Destruction to the Environment.
C. Animals’ Behavior Before Earthquakes.
D. Creatures’ Ability to Predict Earthquakes.
【答案】22. D 23. A 24. B 25. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项有可靠证据的研究，动物似乎通过感应空气中的电流来预测地震。科学家通过摄像机记录下地震前后捕捉到的动物行为的变化证明了这一项研究的可靠性。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake. (在平常的一天，放置在Yanachaga国家公园周围的摄像机记录了5到15只动物。但在地震前的23天，动物的数量下降到每天5只或更少。在地震前的七天中，有五天根本没有拍摄到任何动物)”可知，在地震前后摄像机捕捉到的动物的图像的数量是有所变化的。由此可知，科学家通过分析他们获得的动物图像进行这项研究的。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. (科学家认为，这些动物被正离子弄得感觉不舒服，导致它们避开该区域。他们被认为逃到了较低的地面，那里的空气电离程度较低。)”可知，从地震前的动物活动中可以推断出海拔较低的地面电离程度较低。故选A。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. (科学家认为，这些动物被正离子弄得感觉不舒服，导致它们避开该区域。)”可知，我们能从文章中了解到动物往往对较多正离子感到不安。故选B。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。主要介绍了一项有可靠证据的研究，动物似乎通过感应空气中的电流来预测地震。科学家通过摄像机记录下地震前后捕捉到的动物行为的变化证明了这一项研究的可靠性。文章第一段讲到“Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.(动物似乎可以通过感知空气中的电力来预测地震—这是第一项发现这种现象可靠证据的研究。)”可知，C项“地震前动物的行为”适合这篇文章的标题。故选C。

【28题详解】
根据空前“In some communities, gardening is a popular hobby, with many homeowners spending time cultivating impressive gardens in their yards. One common type of garden tourism is the garden walk. A community group will publish a list of impressive gardens along with a map.(在一些社区，园艺是一种流行的爱好，许多房主花时间在他们的院子里培育令人印象深刻的花园。一种常见的花园旅游是花园漫步。一个社区团体将发布一份令人印象深刻的带有地图的私人花园名单)”可知，此处讲的是许多房主会在自己的院子里培育令人印象深刻的花园，而社区将发布一份可以进行花园漫步的带有地图的私人花园名单，根据空后“More time-needing types of garden tourism may include travel to other countries and areas.(更多需要时间的花园旅游类型可能包括到其他国家和地区的旅行)”可知，此处讲的是另外一些需要时间的花园旅游类型是到其他国家和地区的旅行，空处承上启下，所以空处应该继续讲在私人花园漫步的情况，即游客可以在这些私人花园里面进行漫步，F项Travelers can enjoy an easier walk to various private gardens.(游客可以更轻松地步行到各种私人花园)指出游客可以在这些私人花园里漫步，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【29题详解】
根据空前“This choice has many advantages.(这种选择有很多优点)”可知，此处讲的是团体花园旅游有很多优点，所以空处应举例说明这些优点有什么，D项For example, a traveler can visit gardens using less money.(例如，一个旅行者可以用更少的钱参观花园)指出团体花园旅游的优点之一在于旅行者可以花较少的钱参观花园，承接上文，而且For example起到过渡词的作用，符合上下文语境。故选D项。
【30题详解】
空处位于句首，所以空处应该是本段的主旨句。根据空后“These include completing research on famous gardens before traveling and then starting garden visits in his journey. Another choice is to book individual tours.(这些措施包括在旅行前完成对著名花园的研究，然后在旅行中开始参观花园。另一种选择是预订个人游)”可知，此处讲的是个人参观花园的一些选择，所以空处应该讲相对于团体旅游来说一个独立的旅行者也有一些花园旅游的选择，G项If a traveler prefers independence, he can still have some garden tourism choices.(如果一个旅行者喜欢独立，他仍然可以有一些花园旅游的选择)指出一个喜欢独立的旅行者仍然有一些花园旅游的选择，概括全段内容，符合上下文语境。故选G项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国“园”的特色。
【71题详解】

考查非谓语。句意：中文“园”首先意味着一个野生的景观，也许比大自然安排得更好，规划得更艺术，但仍然是大自然本身的一部分，有树木、小溪和花朵。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，a wild landscape与plan为被动关系，再由句意可知，这里应用过去分词作状语。故填planned。
【73题详解】

【78题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：木框架承担了房子的大部分重量，窗户、门和墙壁不局限于某些位置。分析句子可知，这里考查with的复合结构，wooden framework 与bear为主动关系，所以这里应用现在分词作宾补。故填bearing。

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened ”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.

Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness.” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!" Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up.
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.

A
Once upon a time, a poor widow in China opened a noodle shop. The noodles were good, but the spicy, crunchy sauce she put on them was even better. Soon, people came from far and wide to buy it (while rivals tried their best to copy it). The enterprising widow, Tao Huabi, decided to open a factory to bottle her magic sauce. It became the best-selling chile-sauce brand in China and made Ms. Tao a billionaire.
This is the true story of chile crisp, a chile oil boosted by crunchy chiles (菜椒), fermented (发酵) soybeans, garlic and, okay, MSG. The“it”condiment (调味料) of the pandemic, this vigorous booster of taste and texture is a gift to fatigued cooks who struggle to find joy in the kitchen. Unlike so many game-changing Asian ingredients that Westemers “discover”, this one is actually relatively new. Ms. Tao launched her Lao Gan Ma, or “God-mother” brand in 1997. It is now available worldwide.
Noodles, dumplings and stir-fries are obvious and very good uses for this sauce. But the chile-crisp-mad internet has inspired all manner of mashups. Chile crisp on broccoli, pineapple and even vanilla ice cream are all guaranteed to gamer (获得) likes.
11. What can we learn about chile crisp according to paragraph 2
A. Cooks often send chile crisp to others as a gift.
B. Chile crisp is mixed up with many other ingredients.
C. The story behind chile crisp is attractive to many foreigners.
D. Chile crisp was discovered by Westerners first.
12. The captions (说明文字) from the illustration shown in the article are meant to ______.
A. list the ingredients of the popular chile sauce
B. explain the procedures for making chile crisp
C. illustrate the design of the chile sauce brand label
D. introduce the ways chile crisp goes with various dishes
13. This article aims to ______.
A. promote the product “God-mother”
B. introduce the enterpriser Tao Huabi
C. list innovated ways to eat chile crisp
D. present the popularity of chile crisp
B
13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats. “I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,” she says. It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day.
Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100% organic, and are non-GMO (非转基因). Ava has set a goal for herself with these dog treats, and she wants every treat to be healthy, tasty, and top-quality. Seriously, some of her treats sound delicious enough for people to eat! “All of my bags now have the USDA organic stamp, and we’re very excited to have gotten it because it’s something I’ve wanted for a long time,” she says. “A lot of stores like to see organic products because customers like it, so that was really exciting.”
Ava says the biggest challenge of being a kid in business is when people don’t take her seriously, but undoubtedly Ava has proved that her doubters are wrong! When asked how she defines (定义) success . Ava says, “When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn’t give up and you keep trying.” She learned that from her mom, who sounds like a smart lady! Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: Hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help.
As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic—but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change. “There’s not much diversity (多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,” says Ava. “I would also love to see more kids in this industry. There aren’t many other teenagers around, and I hope that I can be an inspiration to others who hope to lead the pet industry.”

Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the Internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end
Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.
However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be dull enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 percent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.
18. What does the underlined word “shun” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. develop B. avoid C. change D. trust
19. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3
A. The possible treatment for particular diseases.
B. The process of human-computer interaction.
C. The existing application of microchip implants.
D. The future of microchips and devices alike.
20. Which of the following is NOT the concern about the implanting technology
A. The right materials used for the chips.
B. The exact position in the brain for the chips.
C. The chips’ precise sensitivity to function in the brain.
D. The extensive use of the chips on all humans.
21. What might be the best title for the text
A. Computer-brain Interface: The Light of the Future
B. Innovation is Necessary to Make Progress
C. Where are We in the Medical Technology
D. Mind-controlled Tech: Is It Possible
D
Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals’ activity dropped right down.”
On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.
Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions ( 离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.
22. How did scientists conduct the study
A. By comparing different animals’ habits.
B By observing animals in high mountains.
C. By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.
D. By analyzing images of animals they obtained.
23. What can be inferred from animal activity before earthquakes
A. The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized.
B. Cameras normally record more animals per day.
C. Earthquake warnings can be detected in lower places.
D. The activity of animals and earthquakes is consistent.
24. What can we learn from the text
A. The findings make for accurate seismic forecast.
B. Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions.
C. Positive ions make humans and animals depressed.
D. All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Negative Influence of Positive Ions.
B. Ions’ Destruction to the Environment.
C. Animals’ Behavior Before Earthquakes.
D. Creatures’ Ability to Predict Earthquakes.

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened ”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
