Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet”. It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts.
The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them. ” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.
( )23. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)

C. The brain. D. AI.
( )24. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2
A. To describe the process of the experiment.
B. To explain the results of the experiment.
C. To offer some opinions about the experiment.
D. To list the difficulties with the experiment.
( )25. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show
A. The AI is much cleverer than people.
B. The AI didn’t start the work as it was ordered.
C. The AI couldn’t understand the exact words of what people thought.
D. The AI will be well developed according to people’s special needs.
( )26. What can we learn from the text
A. It is not difficult to take AI under control.
B. AI will not be used in a proper way in the future.

The Discovery of Tea
Tea is the most popular drink after water in the world. The story of tea began in ancient China over 5, 000 years ago.
Tea was discovered by Shen Nong when he was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a nearby bush fell into the water and remained there for some time. Shen Nong noticed that the water gave out a pleasant smell, and he decided to taste the water. He found it delicious. We can say that tea was discovered by accident.
Now there are many kinds of famous tea in China, such as Oolong, Tieguanyin, Longjing, Pu er and so on.
