二、阅读(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)
(2024·泰安肥城模拟)It might sound like magic，but in February，a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient was able to drink water on his own by controlling a special glove with his brain．The glove then acted as his hand．This was a success in brain-machine interface (BMI，脑机接口) technology made by a team of Chinese scientists and doctors．
BMI refers to creating a connection between the human brain and external devices (外部设备)，making communication between the brain and computers．For paralyzed people，BMI can allow them to move and do simple things by themselves．
On Oct．24，2023，the team put a BMI chip (芯片) in the patient's head．The chip can receive neural signals (神经信号) from the brain．
After three months of home recovery (康复) training，the patient can now use his brain signals to control a special glove powered by air pressure．This helps him do things like drinking water independently．
BMI technology usually means putting chips directly onto the patient's brain．However，this project is minimally invasive (微创的)，making sure the patient's brain is not harmed．So it is an important breakthrough．It also uses a wireless power supply (无线电源)，so the implanted (植入的) device doesn't need a battery(电池)．
Li Yuanning from Shanghai Tech University told CCTV News that BMI is now mainly used in the medical field to improve the lives of people with brain-related problems or speech difficulties．
In China，BMI technology is still in the early stages of research，with no products on the market yet．Some people are worried that tests may influence patients' independence and even who they are．Ethical concerns (伦理问题) related to BMI also need to be addressed．These include whether the patient has a clear understanding of what is going on when they agree to take part in the test．
1．What is China's recent success in BMI
[A] A paralyzed patient can move freely with a BMI chip．
[B] A paralyzed patient can communicate with computers．
[C] A BMI chip was successfully put into a patient's brain．
[D] BMI helped a paralyzed patient drink water on his own．
2．What does “breakthrough” mean in Paragraph 5
[A] mistake [B] achievement
[C] experiment [D] invention
3．What is the advantage of the new BMI technology
[A] It doesn't need any power．
[B] It doesn't harm patients' brains．
[C] It understands patients' needs correctly．
[D] It helps people improve their speech skills．
4．What do we know from the last paragraph
[A] Many people are against BMI technology．
[B] The tests of BMI are at high risk of failure．
[C] BMI technology is still under development．
[D] BMI technology is widely used in the medical field．
三、阅读表达(共6小题；1－3小题每题2分；4－6小题每题3分，满分15分)

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
(2024·泰安东平模拟)Most emperors in human history handed down their thrones(王位) to their sons．In the early days of China，however，some rulers went against this tradition．They chose their successors(继承人) for their good abilities and high moral standards(道德标准)．This was known as “Shan Rang”．
Yao was the first emperor to pass his throne to a non-family member．Although Yao ruled the whole country，he led a simple life．He often ate wild vegetable soup and wore plain，rough clothes．
尽管尧有着人民的支持，但是他一直在寻找一位更好的统治者。One day，Yao heard about a wise man named Xu You．He paid a visit and invited Xu to rule the country．The man，however，①________ the invitation．“The birds in the forest take only one branch for their nests(巢)，”he said．“Why would I want to take over the whole country？”
Later，some officials suggested making Yao's son the new emperor．Yao didn't like the idea．He thought his son didn't meet the moral standards of the throne．Other officials recommended Shun for his good moral record．His father，stepmother and stepbrother treated him badly，but Shun had always been a loving son and a caring elder brother．
Yao decided to find out about the young man．He tested Shun's ability to rule the people．Shun proved his talents more than once．For ②________，some fishermen on a riverside had long fought over a small island．Shun dealt with their arguments and brought peace back to the area． In another example，the people in Dongyi were making pottery(陶器)of poor quality．Shun helped them improve their skills．
After all ③________ of tests，Yao finally handed over his throne to Shun．As the new emperor，Shun continued his hard work．When he got old，Shun needed to choose a successor．He had learned from Yao and now used the same way to find a new ruler．In the end，he chose Yu，a very able and widely respected man．
This was how the three emperors Yao，Shun and Yu became great leaders．They made important contributions to ancient China．
