（2024·山西·一模）Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications, such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes. These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects, such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement, indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value, as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates, providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues. In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器), this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage, such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.
Such acuity is striking, though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat. Other, much larger movements occur on a person’s chest — from their breathing, for example — which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
“That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said. “We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that. The prime use of this technology — which we hope to have ready next year — will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals. The benefits could be considerable.”
8．What can the laser camera be used for
A．Improving the usage of stethoscope.
B．Measuring blood pressure remotely.
C．Recording images of the human throat.
D．Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance.
9．What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system
A．How it works. B．Where it is used.
C．Whom it benefits. D．What it is composed of.
10．Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in paragraph 4
A．Consistency. B．Complexity C．Sensitivity. D．Intensity.
11．What role does AI play in this system
A．To measure skin movements.
B．To recognize heartbeat vibrations.
C．To record images at high speeds.
D．To shine a laser beam on the skin.
【答案】8．D 9．A 10．C 11．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了格拉斯哥大学的研究人员利用人工智能和量子技术，成功研发了一款激光相机，能够用于远程检测心跳。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Glasgow University researchers have created a laser(激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring.(格拉斯哥大学的研究人员利用人工智能和量子技术制造了一种激光相机，可以远程检测一个人的心跳，这可能会改变健康监测。)”可知，这款激光相机可以远程检测一个人的心跳。故选D。
9．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery(动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.(Faccio和他的团队开发的这个系统包括高速相机，可以以每秒2000帧的速度记录图像。激光束照射在人喉咙的皮肤上，反射光被用来准确测量当血液被迫通过主动脉时，他们的皮肤在主动脉扩张和收缩时的升降幅度。这些变化只涉及几十亿分之一米的运动。)”可知，本段主要讲述了这个系统的工作原理。故选A。
10．词义猜测题。根据画线词前的Such可知，Such acuity指的是前文的内容，结合第三段中的“The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second.(Faccio和他的团队开发的这个系统包括高速相机，可以以每秒2000帧的速度记录图像。)”和“These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.(这些变化只涉及几十亿分之一米的运动。)”可知，这个系统以每秒2000帧的速度记录图像，而且记录的变化只涉及几十亿分之一米的运动。由此可推测出，这个系统非常灵敏。acuity意为“敏锐”，和sensitivity意思相近。故选C。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that.(我们使用先进的计算系统来区分除人的心跳引起的振动之外的所有东西。我们知道人类心跳的频率范围，人工智能专注于此。)”可知，人工智能专注于识别心跳的振动。故选B。
D
（2024·陕西榆林·二模）A sugar replacement called erythritol (赤藓糖醇) has been linked to blood clotting (血液凝固), stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study.
“The degree of risk was not modest,” said lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen. People with existing risk factors for heart disease will be twice as likely to experience the risk if they have the highest levels of erythritol in their blood. Erythritol appears to be causing blood platelets (血小板) to clot more readily. Clots can break off and travel to the heart or the brain, causing a heart attack or a stroke.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a carb found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. However, artificially manufactured in massive quantities, erythritol has become an extremely popular additive to low-carb products.
The discovery of the connection between erythritol and cardiovascular issues was purely accidental. Hazen’s research had a simple goal: find unknown chemicals or compounds in a person’s blood. To do so, the team analyzed 1,157 blood samples. “We found this substance that seemed to play a big role, but we didn’t know it was erythritol, a sweetener until later,” said Hazen. To confirm the findings, the team tested another two batches of blood samples and found that higher levels of erythritol were connected to a greater risk of heart attack, stroke or death within three years.
“This certainly sounds an alarm,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of a hospital inDenver. “Science needs to take a deeper div e into erythritol and in a hurry, because this substance is widely available right now. If it’s harmful, we should know about it.”
Hazen agreed,“I normally don’t get up on a pedestal (崇高地位) and sound the alarm, but this is something that I think we need to be looking at carefully.”
12．About the risk, what does Hazen’s word in paragraph 2 mean
A．It is not worth considering.
B．It is removed by erythritol.
C．It should not be underestimated.
D．It is just present in people with disease.
13．What do we know about erythritol
A．Its quality is uncertain.
B．It has been used widely in food.
C．It is manufactured by artists.
D．It mainly exists in fruits.
14．What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs
A．Erythritol is not available to people.
B．Hazen likes warning people about potential dangers.
C．People have realized that erythritol is dangerous.
D．Further research should be done on erythritol.
15．What can be the best title for the text
A．The Accidental Discovery of a New Sweetener
B．The Potential Health Risks of Erythritol Uncovered
C．The Rise of Erythritol as a Popular Sugar Substitute
D．The Surprising Benefits of Erythritol in Diet Products
【答案】12．C 13．B 14．D 15．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，一种名为赤藓糖醇的糖替代品与血液凝固、中风、心脏病发作和死亡有关。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段““The degree of risk was not modest,” said lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen. People with existing risk factors for heart disease will be twice as likely to experience the risk if they have the highest levels of erythritol in their blood. Erythritol appears to be causing blood platelets(血小板)to clot more readily. Clots can break off and travel to the heart or the brain, causing a heart attack or a stroke.”（该研究的主要作者斯坦利·哈森博士说：“风险程度并不低。”如果血液中赤藓糖醇的含量达到最高水平，有心脏病风险因素的人患心脏病的可能性会增加一倍。赤藓糖醇似乎能使血小板更容易凝结。血块会破裂并进入心脏或大脑，导致心脏病发作或中风。）可推知，关于风险，哈森在第二段的话是为了表明它不应被低估。故选C项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段“Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a carb found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. However, artificially manufactured in massive quantities, erythritol has become an extremely popular additive to low-carb products.”（赤藓糖醇是一种糖醇，是一种存在于许多水果和蔬菜中的天然碳水化合物。然而，大量人工制造的赤藓糖醇已经成为一种非常受欢迎的低碳水化合物产品添加剂。）可知，赤藓糖醇它被广泛应用于食品中。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““This certainly sounds an alarm,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of a hospital inDenver. “Science needs to take a deeper div e into erythritol and in a hurry, because this substance is widely available right now. If it’s harmful, we should know about it.””（丹佛一家医院的院长安德鲁·弗里曼博士说：“这无疑敲响了警钟。”“科学需要对赤藓糖醇进行更深入的研究，而且要抓紧时间，因为这种物质现在已经广泛存在。如果它有害，我们应该知道它。”）可推知，科学应该对赤藓糖醇进行进一步的研究。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A sugar replacement called erythritol(赤藓糖醇)has been linked to blood clotting(血液凝固), stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study.”（一项新的研究表明，一种名为赤藓糖醇的糖替代品与血液凝固、中风、心脏病发作和死亡有关。）可知，文章主要讲的是研究表明，一种名为赤藓糖醇的糖替代品与血液凝固、中风、心脏病发作和死亡有关。故文章最好的标题是“发现赤藓糖醇的潜在健康风险”。故选B项。

（2024·河南·一模）Your alarm goes off on January 1. You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. 16 . After a moment, however, you think, “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day; there’s time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵) in diet. 17 . They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen 18 . While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Change involves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. 19 . But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like “I’m going to get in better shape this year”, make a specific one. For example, “I’m going to run for 30 minutes every day” would be far more powerful. Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. 20 , but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March.
A．Change takes time and effort
B．Instinctively, you step back in horror
C．It’s probably related to self-discipline
D．Many people’s plans involve grand measures
E．The answer is likely that we should be confident
F．New Year is a great time to be with family and friends
G．In December it’s often justified by planning New Year’s resolutions
【答案】16．B 17．G 18．C 19．D 20．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们执行新年计划时遇到的问题，并就如何更好地执行新年计划给出了建议。
16．根据上文“You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. (你强迫自己下了床，慢慢地走向浴室，在那里你在镜子里看到了一个脸色苍白、睡眼惺忪的陌生人)”可知，此刻的自己状态极差；再根据下文“After a moment, however, you think, ‘Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day; there’s time to get back in shape!’ (然而，过了一会儿，你觉得，‘等等，没关系，因为今天是元旦，是时候恢复身材了！’)”中的“however”可知，空处和下文之间存在转折关系，既然下文为“it’s okay”，那么空处则与此相反，与选项B“你立刻惊恐地退了回去”中的“in horror”相对应。故选B。
17．根据上文“For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵) in diet. (对许多人来说，新年的开始标志着一段时间过度放纵饮食的结束)”和下文“They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. (它们经常以把自己变成一个健康的人为中心)”可知，上文提到新年的开始标志着结束过度放纵饮食，所以把自己变得更健康应是未来的计划，G项“在12月，人们通常通过制定新年计划来证明这一点”符合语境，故选G。
18．根据上文“However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen (然而，事实是，大约80%的计划在2月份之前就被遗弃了。这是怎么发生的？)”可知，此处提出一个问题，结合下文“While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. (当我们下定决心的时候，我们可能有很好的意图，但我们实际上并没有足够的决心来控制自己的生活)”可知，人们没有足够的决心来执行计划，故C项“这可能与自律有关”回答上文问题，与下文语义一致，故选C。
19．下文“But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. (但在现实中，小步骤的改变可能更容易，从而取得更大的成功)”提到，在现实中，小步骤的改变可能更容易，空处与下文是转折关系，故空处是说人们制定很多宏伟的计划，D项“许多人的计划都包含宏伟的措施”符合语境，故选D。
20．根据上文“Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. (最重要的是，请记住，尽管名字叫新年决心，但它应该是终身的)”可知，新年决心应该是终身的，即需要持续的努力，A项“改变需要时间和努力”符合语境，且与下文“but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March. (但如果有合适的策略，你没有理由不能永远坚持你的决心，或者至少坚持到3月份)”衔接得当，故选A。

（2024·全国·模拟预测）Christianna Alexander, a high school girl, is the founder of Sweet Christi’s, a company that makes all-natural, plant-based soaps looking like delicate desserts. At 12, Christianna decided she wanted to start a business. Her three business ideas were baking, arts and crafts (手工艺品), and soap. Baking turned out to be more of a challenge than she expected, and her paintings and drawings didn’t sell as she hoped. Not one to give up easily, Christianna turned her passion into purpose by creating Sweet Christi’s.
Meanwhile, Christianna also started a nonprofit focused on the education of girls through STEM. But that’s not all this teen CEO does: she is involved in many practical things, and she’s a speaker at several youth conferences and also the author of the children’s book Stay Sweet and Never Miss a Beat.
Recently, Richard Cuff, founder of NASEMBA Business Alliance, announced the 15-year-old would serve as Youth Ambassador for the Operation ECLIPSE campaign which advocates for the positive representation of local entrepreneurs (企业家) and stresses the economic impact that the entrepreneurs are having on the local economy. Through Operation ECLIPSE, NASEMBA Business Alliance’s goal is to raise funds to back local programmes to benefit small businesses while helping political leaders better understand the historical and social significance of local entrepreneurial families. “We will work with our political leaders who want to close the wealth gap by shaping policies that will direct financial aid to young entrepreneurs,” said Richard.
“Having an instructor is important and I can’t put into words how important it is to be able to talk to successful entrepreneurs,” said Christianna. “The campaign also encourages business owners and managers to give advice or guidance to young entrepreneurs while supporting plans that provide direction to benefit our at-risk youth. I believe entrepreneurs can help address many social issues with love. The campaign would shine a bright light on the young entrepreneurs, and enable us to become better.”

（2024·山西·一模）Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications, such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes. These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects, such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement, indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value, as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates, providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues. In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器), this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage, such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.
Such acuity is striking, though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat. Other, much larger movements occur on a person’s chest — from their breathing, for example — which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
“That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said. “We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that. The prime use of this technology — which we hope to have ready next year — will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals. The benefits could be considerable.”
8．What can the laser camera be used for
A．Improving the usage of stethoscope.
B．Measuring blood pressure remotely.
C．Recording images of the human throat.
D．Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance.
9．What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system
A．How it works. B．Where it is used.
C．Whom it benefits. D．What it is composed of.
10．Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in paragraph 4
A．Consistency. B．Complexity C．Sensitivity. D．Intensity.
11．What role does AI play in this system
A．To measure skin movements.
B．To recognize heartbeat vibrations.
C．To record images at high speeds.
D．To shine a laser beam on the skin.

（2024·陕西榆林·二模）A sugar replacement called erythritol (赤藓糖醇) has been linked to blood clotting (血液凝固), stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study.
“The degree of risk was not modest,” said lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen. People with existing risk factors for heart disease will be twice as likely to experience the risk if they have the highest levels of erythritol in their blood. Erythritol appears to be causing blood platelets (血小板) to clot more readily. Clots can break off and travel to the heart or the brain, causing a heart attack or a stroke.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a carb found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. However, artificially manufactured in massive quantities, erythritol has become an extremely popular additive to low-carb products.
The discovery of the connection between erythritol and cardiovascular issues was purely accidental. Hazen’s research had a simple goal: find unknown chemicals or compounds in a person’s blood. To do so, the team analyzed 1,157 blood samples. “We found this substance that seemed to play a big role, but we didn’t know it was erythritol, a sweetener until later,” said Hazen. To confirm the findings, the team tested another two batches of blood samples and found that higher levels of erythritol were connected to a greater risk of heart attack, stroke or death within three years.
“This certainly sounds an alarm,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of a hospital inDenver. “Science needs to take a deeper div e into erythritol and in a hurry, because this substance is widely available right now. If it’s harmful, we should know about it.”
Hazen agreed,“I normally don’t get up on a pedestal (崇高地位) and sound the alarm, but this is something that I think we need to be looking at carefully.”
12．About the risk, what does Hazen’s word in paragraph 2 mean
A．It is not worth considering.
B．It is removed by erythritol.
C．It should not be underestimated.
D．It is just present in people with disease.
13．What do we know about erythritol
A．Its quality is uncertain.
B．It has been used widely in food.
C．It is manufactured by artists.
D．It mainly exists in fruits.
14．What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs
A．Erythritol is not available to people.
B．Hazen likes warning people about potential dangers.
C．People have realized that erythritol is dangerous.
D．Further research should be done on erythritol.
15．What can be the best title for the text
A．The Accidental Discovery of a New Sweetener
B．The Potential Health Risks of Erythritol Uncovered
C．The Rise of Erythritol as a Popular Sugar Substitute
D．The Surprising Benefits of Erythritol in Diet Products

（2024·河南·一模）Your alarm goes off on January 1. You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. 16 . After a moment, however, you think, “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day; there’s time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵) in diet. 17 . They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen 18 . While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Change involves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. 19 . But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like “I’m going to get in better shape this year”, make a specific one. For example, “I’m going to run for 30 minutes every day” would be far more powerful. Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. 20 , but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March.
A．Change takes time and effort
B．Instinctively, you step back in horror
C．It’s probably related to self-discipline
D．Many people’s plans involve grand measures
E．The answer is likely that we should be confident
F．New Year is a great time to be with family and friends
G．In December it’s often justified by planning New Year’s resolutions
