(2024·四川自贡一中高二下月考)Sitting in the classroom I felt confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard.Then Mum took me to the hospital.Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍).In fact, I was practically blind.Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said.As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things.I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters.But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things.I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved.As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around.
Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids.I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were.Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte.I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt!
Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table.“We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.
Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me.So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company.I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful.I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences.
Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that.

On 3 August 2020, a New Jersey schoolteacher named Julia Mooney put on a button-down dress and wore it to work.She wore it the next day and the next.In fact, she continued to wear that same dress for 100 days in a row.Julia wanted to get people — her middle school students, in particular — thinking about fashion in a new way and how we live in what she describes as a “culture of excess”, closets overflowing with clothes far more than we need.
At first, Julia said nothing to her students about her experiment.There was no formal class discussion until several weeks later, at which point the students were responsive.Julia said that her students could really understand the idea that we need to judge each other based on what we do but not what we wear.“As they try to define themselves, the students are often identifying themselves with brands or outward things.Many seemed excited to have a reason to talk about how silly all of that really is,” she said.
A quest for greater simplicity is partly what inspired Julia in the first place.On her website, she wrote that “spending a long time thinking and worrying about what to wear in the morning will be a thing of the past”.It also solved the problem of limited closet space in an old house.
If there was a tear (裂口), Julia patched it with her sewing machine.She was careful with it so she wore an apron (围裙) to keep it clean — just like people did in years gone by.She washed the dress on weekends.
“The challenge I’m presenting is this: Let’s think before we buy it, wear it, throw it away and buy one again.Are we just perpetuating (使持续) a culture that defines us based on what we’re wearing rather than what we’re doing? What if we spent our energy trying to be good interesting humans instead of trying to look good and interesting?” she said.
Julia herself is back to wearing pants to work, but the effect of the experiment lingers.She said, “I’m expressing my interest in the health of our planet and the people who occupy it, while channeling less of my energy into my wardrobe and more into loving my children, being patient with my students and embracing my day-to-day existence.”
5.Why did Julia Mooney wear the same dress continuously?( )
A.She liked that dress most.
B.She tried to save time and money.
C.She had to follow a fast-fashion trend.
D.She wanted to arouse people’s reflection.
6.Which word best describes the students’ attitude to the culture of judging people by their appearance?( )
A.Opposed. B.Indifferent.
C.Uncertain. D.Optimistic.
7.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 4?( )
A.The aim Julia wanted to achieve.
B.The influence Julia was trying to exert.
C.Efforts Julia made to keep the plan going well.
D.Difficulties Julia encountered in carrying out the plan.
8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?( )
A.It is our responsibility to protect the Earth’s environment.
B.Julia is putting more energy into worthwhile things.
C.Julia doesn’t care what she wears every day.
D.People should be grateful for their daily lives.
C
(2024·辽宁新高考联盟高二下月考)Most able-bodied people take their ability to perform simple daily tasks for granted — when they reach for a warm cup of coffee, they can feel its weight and temperature and adjust their grasp accordingly so that no liquid is spilled.People with full sensory and motor control of their arms and hands can feel that they’ve made contact with an object the instant they touch or grasp it, allowing them to start moving or lifting it with confidence.
But those tasks become much more difficult when a person operates an artificial arm, let alone a mind-controlled one.
In a paper published in Science, a team of bio engineers from the University of Pittsburgh describe how adding brain stimulation that generates tactile (触觉的) sensations makes it easier for the operator to use a brain-controlled robotic arm.In the experiment, combining vision with artificial tactile feedback cut the time spent grasping and moving objects in half, from 20.9 to 10.2 seconds.
Study participant Nathan Copeland, who was left with limited use of his arms after a car crash, is the first person in the world who was implanted with tiny electrode arrays (电极阵列) in his brain.Arrays allow him to not only control the robotic arm with his mind, but also to receive tactile feedback.
In a series of tests, where Copeland was asked to pick up and move various objects from a table to a raised platform, providing tactile feedback through electrical stimulation allowed him to complete tasks twice as fast compared to tests without stimulation.
“Even though the sensation isn’t natural, that never bothers me,” said Copeland.
“When even limited and imperfect sensation is restored, the person’s performance improved in a pretty significant way.We still have a long way to go in terms of making the sensations more realistic and bringing this technology to people’s homes, but the closer we can get to recreating the normal inputs to the brain, the better off we will be,” said Robert Gaunt, co-senior author of the study.
9.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?( )
A.The value of being healthy.
B.The importance of the sense of touch.
C.The simplicity of daily tasks.
D.The advantages of able-bodied people.
10.What’s the purpose of implanting the arrays into Copeland’s brain?( )
A.To allow him to feel the objects.
B.To improve his test performance.
C.To connect his senses of sight and touch.
D.To stimulate him to complete more tasks.
11.What can we learn from Robert Caunt’s words about the study?( )
A.It’s unreliable. B.It’s promising.
C.It’s perfect. D.It’s theoretical.
12.What’s the best title for the text?( )
A.Application of Biotechnology in Medical Care
B.Restoration of Lost Sensations Proves Possible
C.Development of Mind-Controlled Robotic Arms
D.Sense of Touch Improves Control of a Robotic Arm

(2024·江苏南京高二下月考)Life doesn’t always seem fair.Some people are just born with the ability to attract anyone they meet easily.Well, it might seem like a magical power, but actually there are various factors at work.13.( ) The answer is: to a large extent, yes, you can.
But first, the bad news.People initially judge each other based purely on physical appearance.With just a glimpse of a face, people make snap judgments about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness and confidence.How should we deal with this? 14.( ) People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable.It sounds like common sense, doesn’t it? Smile and others will smile with you.
What other tricks might we have?15.( ) Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt (仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, to smile.
So we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning foolishly.The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good about themselves, they’re going to like you.In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements.16.( )
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection.Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to bond with others.Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common.And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather.17.( )
A.It can break the ice.
B.So, can you develop exceptional charm?
C.There’s one incredibly basic tool: your smile.
D.Alternatively, you need to display interest in them.
E.What effective strategies can we employ to become charming?
F.Our brains frequently scan the surroundings for signs of friend or enemy.
G.Mutual interests are the foundation for building connections with others.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者并没有让严重的视力障碍变成自己生活的阻碍,而是继续做喜欢的事情,在结婚有了孩子之后可以帮忙照顾孩子,在成为祖母之后独自加入旅行团去欣赏世界的美丽。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍).In fact, I was practically blind.Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me!可知,在作者13岁被诊断出视力障碍之前,没有人意识到她的视力很差。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句后的I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt!可知,作者总是弄混糖和盐,因此她是不擅长烹饪的。由此推知,forte意为“长处”,与strength意思相近。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were.可知,虽然作者视力不好,但是可以为孩子们换尿布以及穿衣服,因此是可以帮忙照顾孩子的。
4.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者虽然有严重的视力障碍,但是这没有成为她生活的阻碍,她乐观地继续做喜欢的事情,在结婚有了孩子之后可以帮忙照顾孩子,在成为祖母之后独自加入旅行团去欣赏世界的美丽,视力问题不妨碍她用心去体验生命。由此可知,作者的故事告诉我们,每个人都可以用积极的心态享受生命的美好。
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述女教师朱莉娅通过100天穿同一件裙子这件事,引起人们尤其是她的学生们对时尚的思考,教育孩子们不能以貌取人,要把时间和精力花在有意义的事情上。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,朱莉娅想让人们尤其是她的学生们用一种新的方式思考时尚,同时思考我们现在所处的这种“过度文化”。由此可知,朱莉娅100天穿同一件裙子是为了引起人们对时尚和生活的深思。
6.A 观点态度题。根据第二段内容可知,学生们对这个实验反应很积极,他们完全理解朱莉娅想传达的“不要关注人们穿什么而应关注人们做什么”,即“不要以貌取人”的观点,许多学生因可以谈论那种只关注外表的行为有多愚蠢而感到兴奋。由此可知,学生们对以貌取人这个看法是反对的。
7.C 段落大意题。第四段通过叙述朱莉娅修补裙子上的破洞、穿围裙防止弄脏裙子、周末洗裙子这些事情说明了朱莉娅为了保证衣服干净整洁,以达到她这件裙子能穿100天来让人们对时尚和生活进行深思的目的而做出的努力。
8.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,朱莉娅关心地球的健康状况,耐心对待学生,认真对待日常生活,把更多的精力投入更有意义、更有价值的事情上。

14.C 根据上文How should we deal with this?可知,C项(有一个非常简单的工具:你的微笑)可以为这个问题给出具体的解决方法,同时衔接空后一句,说明微笑的好处。
15.F 下文具体介绍是友不是敌的信号表达,F项(我们的大脑会审视周围的环境寻找是敌是友的信号)可以和下文衔接恰当。
16.D 根据上文In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements.可知,D项(相反,你需要表现出对他们的兴趣)可以衔接上文,说明正确的做法是要关注对方。

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
Published① in 1831, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame tells a tragic② story of events in Paris.Esmeralda’s beauty means that many men fall in love with her.One such man sends the hunchback Quasimodo to kidnap③ Esmeralda.But Quasimodo fails and is captured④ and tortured⑤ in public.Esmeralda hears his call for water, and steps forwards out of mercy⑥.She offers Quasimodo a drink of water, which saves him and also captures his heart.When Esmeralda is later sentenced to death⑦ for a crime she did not commit⑧, Quasimodo rescues her from⑨ an angry crowd outside the Notre-Dame Cathedral.Esmeralda is safe from execution⑩ as long as she stays inside the cathedral...
Esmeralda and Quasimodo were still for several moments, as they considered their predicament in silence, [1]she so graceful , he so repulsive .Every moment Esmeralda discovered some fresh defect in Quasimodo, as her glance travelled from his knock knees to his hunched back, from his hunched back to his single eye.[2]How anyone could be formed in such a way was beyond her comprehension .[3]Yet there was so much melancholy and so much gentleness spread over all this that she gradually adjusted to it.

He was the first to break the silence .“So you were telling me to return?”
She moved her head, and said, “Yes.”
He understood the motion of the head.“But!” he said, as though hesitating whether to finish,“I am — I am deaf.”
“Poor wretch!” exclaimed Esmeralda, with an expression of heartfelt compassion .
He began to smile sadly.
“You suppose that was all that I was missing, do you not? Yes, I am deaf, that is the way I am made.It is horrible, is it not, next to your exquisite beauty!”
[4]There lay in the accents of the unfortunate man so significant an awareness of his sadness that she had not the strength to utter a syllable.In any case , he would not have heard her.He continued:
[5]“Never have I viewed my ugliness as at the present moment.When I compare myself to you, I feel an immense pity for myself, poor unfortunate monster that I am! Be honest, to you I must resemble some savage creature.You, you are a ray of sunshine , a drop of dew , a birdsong, whilst I am something terrible, neither human nor beast.[6]I don’t know what I am, as I am coarser , more downtrodden , and plainer than a pebble !”

Then he began to laugh, and that laugh was the most heartbreaking sound in the world.He continued:
“Yes, I am deaf, but you shall talk to me with your hands as my master talks to me, and then I shall quickly know your wishes from the movement of your lips, from your expression.”
“Well!” she smiled, “Explain to me why you rescued me.”
He watched her intently while she was speaking.
“I understand,” he replied.“You ask me why I rescued you.[7]You have forgotten an unfortunate person who attempted to kidnap you one night, this same person to whom you showed kindness when he was being punished. A drop of water and a little pity — that is more than I can repay with my life.You have forgotten that unfortunate soul, but he remembers it.”

【参考译文】
巴黎圣母院
《巴黎圣母院》于1831年出版,讲述了一个发生在巴黎的悲惨故事。埃斯梅拉达的美貌使无数男人为她倾倒。这些倾慕者中有一个人派驼背卡西莫多去绑架埃斯梅拉达。但卡西莫多失败了,在公共场合被捕并遭受酷刑。埃斯梅拉达听到他对水的呼唤,怜悯之心油然而生。她给卡西莫多递上水,这不仅拯救了他的生命,也俘获了他的心。后来当埃斯梅拉达因莫须有的罪名被判死刑时,卡西莫多从圣母院外喧哗的人群中救下了她。只要她留在教堂内,就可以免于被处决的危险……
埃斯梅拉达和卡西莫多许久没有动,默默地思考着自己的处境,一个是那样优美,一个是那么难看。每一刻,随着埃斯梅拉达的目光从卡西莫多的弯腿移到驼背,再从他的驼背移到独眼上,她都在他身上发现一些新的毛病。她难以理解一个人怎么能长得如此畸形。但他表现出那样的忧郁与那样的温顺,她渐渐地适应了。
他首先打破了沉默:“那么你是叫我回来吗?”
她点点头,答道:“是的。”
他明白点头的意思。“不过,”他说,似乎犹豫着要不要说下去,“我是……我是聋子。”
“可怜的人!”埃斯梅拉达喊道,发自内心地对他表示同情。
他苦笑起来。
“你觉得那就是我的所有缺陷,对不对?是啊,我是聋子,生来如此。真是可怕,不是吗?而你呢,却如此美丽!”
从那不幸的人的语气里可以感受到他对自身的悲哀心知肚明,她没有勇气回答。何况即便回答,他也无法听到。他接着说道:
“我从来没像现在这般明白自己的丑陋。当我把自己同你比较时,我就非常怜悯自己,我是多么可怜而不幸的怪物啊!说实话,你一定把我当成某种野兽了吧。你呀,你就像一束阳光,一滴露珠,像鸟鸣声,而我呢,却是一个可怕的东西,不像人也不像兽。我不知道我是什么,因为我比卵石还要粗硬、受压迫、不显眼!”
然后他笑了起来,那是世界上最痛心的笑声。他接着说道:
“是啊,我是聋子。但你可以用手势对我讲话,就像我的主人跟我说话那样。这样,从你的口型和你的表情,我很快就能明白你的意思。”
“好啊!”她微笑着说道,“告诉我你为什么要救我。”
“我明白了,”他回答道,“你问我为什么要救你。你忘了,有一天晚上,有个坏家伙想绑架你,你却在他被惩罚时对他表示友善。我即使为你赴汤蹈火,也报答不了那滴水和你的怜悯之心。你已经忘记那个不幸的人了,他却还记着你的恩情。”
她带着满心温柔听完他的话。一滴泪珠在卡西莫多的眼眶里滚动,却没有落下来。似乎不让眼泪落下来,他就可以维护自己的尊严。
(改编自维克多·雨果的《巴黎圣母院》)

.[3]Yet there was so much melancholy and so much gentleness spread

【参考译文】
巴黎圣母院
《巴黎圣母院》于1831年出版,讲述了一个发生在巴黎的悲惨故
事。埃斯梅拉达的美貌使无数男人为她倾倒。这些倾慕者中有一个人
派驼背卡西莫多去绑架埃斯梅拉达。但卡西莫多失败了,在公共场合
被捕并遭受酷刑。埃斯梅拉达听到他对水的呼唤,怜悯之心油然而
生。她给卡西莫多递上水,这不仅拯救了他的生命,也俘获了他的
心。后来当埃斯梅拉达因莫须有的罪名被判死刑时,卡西莫多从圣母
院外喧哗的人群中救下了她。只要她留在教堂内,就可以免于被处决
的危险……
埃斯梅拉达和卡西莫多许久没有动,默默地思考着自己的处境,
一个是那样优美,一个是那么难看。每一刻,随着埃斯梅拉达的目光
从卡西莫多的弯腿移到驼背,再从他的驼背移到独眼上,她都在他身
上发现一些新的毛病。她难以理解一个人怎么能长得如此畸形。但他
表现出那样的忧郁与那样的温顺,她渐渐地适应了。
他首先打破了沉默:“那么你是叫我回来吗?”
她点点头,答道:“是的。”
他明白点头的意思。“不过,”他说,似乎犹豫着要不要说下
去,“我是……我是聋子。”
“可怜的人!”埃斯梅拉达喊道,发自内心地对他表示同情。
他苦笑起来。
“你觉得那就是我的所有缺陷,对不对?是啊,我是聋子,生来
如此。真是可怕,不是吗?而你呢,却如此美丽!”
从那不幸的人的语气里可以感受到他对自身的悲哀心知肚明,她
没有勇气回答。何况即便回答,他也无法听到。他接着说道:
“我从来没像现在这般明白自己的丑陋。当我把自己同你比较
时,我就非常怜悯自己,我是多么可怜而不幸的怪物啊!说实话,你
一定把我当成某种野兽了吧。你呀,你就像一束阳光,一滴露珠,像
鸟鸣声,而我呢,却是一个可怕的东西,不像人也不像兽。我不知道
我是什么,因为我比卵石还要粗硬、受压迫、不显眼!”
然后他笑了起来,那是世界上最痛心的笑声。他接着说道:
“是啊,我是聋子。但你可以用手势对我讲话,就像我的主人跟
我说话那样。这样,从你的口型和你的表情,我很快就能明白你的意
思。”
“好啊!”她微笑着说道,“告诉我你为什么要救我。”
“我明白了,”他回答道,“你问我为什么要救你。你忘了,有
一天晚上,有个坏家伙想绑架你,你却在他被惩罚时对他表示友善。
我即使为你赴汤蹈火,也报答不了那滴水和你的怜悯之心。你已经忘
记那个不幸的人了,他却还记着你的恩情。”
她带着满心温柔听完他的话。一滴泪珠在卡西莫多的眼眶里
滚动,却没有落下来。似乎不让眼泪落下来,他就可以维护自己
的尊严。
(改编自维克多·雨果的《巴黎圣母院》)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·四川自贡一中高二下月考)Sitting in the classroom I felt
confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard.Then Mum took me to the
hospital.Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe
visual impairment (视力障碍).In fact, I was practically
blind.Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone
realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said.As a
kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things.I was known as the
clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters.But now, I was
being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the
outlines of things.I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing
everything I loved.As long as everything was in its place, I could feel
my way around.
Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids.I could change
nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I
relied on touch to work out where things were.Cooking, on the other
hand, was not my forte.I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and
salt!
Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys
on the floor or move chairs away from the table.“We don’t want
Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.
Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but
sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me.So I was
thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who
were just like me in a travel company.I’m not missing out — my life is
beautiful.I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of
experiences.
Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that.

1. What can we know from the first paragraph?( )
A. The reading glasses got the problem fixed.
B. She always tripped because she was awkward.
C. She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13.
D. Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Within a few days, I was
diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍).In
fact, I was practically blind.Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the
age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me!可知,在作者13
岁被诊断出视力障碍之前,没有人意识到她的视力很差。
2. What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean?
( )
A. Weakness. B. Favourite.
C. Strength. D. Business.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句后的I was terrible —
always mixing up sugar and salt!可知,作者总是弄混糖和盐,因此
她是不擅长烹饪的。由此推知,forte意为“长处”,与strength意
思相近。

On 3 August 2020, a New Jersey schoolteacher named Julia Mooney
put on a button-down dress and wore it to work.She wore it the next day
and the next.In fact, she continued to wear that same dress for 100 days
in a row.Julia wanted to get people — her middle school students, in
particular — thinking about fashion in a new way and how we live in what
she describes as a “culture of excess”, closets overflowing with clothes
far more than we need.
At first, Julia said nothing to her students about her
experiment.There was no formal class discussion until several weeks
later, at which point the students were responsive.Julia said that her
students could really understand the idea that we need to judge each other
based on what we do but not what we wear.“As they try to define
themselves, the students are often identifying themselves with brands or
outward things.Many seemed excited to have a reason to talk about how
silly all of that really is,” she said.
A quest for greater simplicity is partly what inspired Julia in the first
place.On her website, she wrote that “spending a long time thinking
and worrying about what to wear in the morning will be a thing of the
past”.It also solved the problem of limited closet space in an old house.
If there was a tear (裂口), Julia patched it with her sewing
machine.She was careful with it so she wore an apron (围裙) to keep it
clean — just like people did in years gone by.She washed the dress on
weekends.
“The challenge I’m presenting is this: Let’s think before we buy
it, wear it, throw it away and buy one again.Are we just perpetuating
(使持续) a culture that defines us based on what we’re wearing rather
than what we’re doing? What if we spent our energy trying to be good
interesting humans instead of trying to look good and interesting?” she
said.
Julia herself is back to wearing pants to work, but the effect of the
experiment lingers.She said, “I’m expressing my interest in the health
of our planet and the people who occupy it, while channeling less of my
energy into my wardrobe and more into loving my children, being patient
with my students and embracing my day-to-day existence.”

(2024·辽宁新高考联盟高二下月考)Most able-bodied people take
their ability to perform simple daily tasks for granted — when they reach
for a warm cup of coffee, they can feel its weight and temperature and
adjust their grasp accordingly so that no liquid is spilled.People with full
sensory and motor control of their arms and hands can feel that they’ve
made contact with an object the instant they touch or grasp it, allowing
them to start moving or lifting it with confidence.
But those tasks become much more difficult when a person operates
an artificial arm, let alone a mind-controlled one.
In a paper published in Science, a team of bio engineers from the
University of Pittsburgh describe how adding brain stimulation that
generates tactile (触觉的) sensations makes it easier for the operator to
use a brain-controlled robotic arm.In the experiment, combining vision
with artificial tactile feedback cut the time spent grasping and moving
objects in half, from 20.9 to 10.2 seconds.
Study participant Nathan Copeland, who was left with limited use of
his arms after a car crash, is the first person in the world who was
implanted with tiny electrode arrays (电极阵列) in his brain.Arrays
allow him to not only control the robotic arm with his mind, but also to
receive tactile feedback.
In a series of tests, where Copeland was asked to pick up and move
various objects from a table to a raised platform, providing tactile
feedback through electrical stimulation allowed him to complete tasks
twice as fast compared to tests without stimulation.
“Even though the sensation isn’t natural, that never bothers
me,” said Copeland.
“When even limited and imperfect sensation is restored, the
person’s performance improved in a pretty significant way.We still have
a long way to go in terms of making the sensations more realistic and
bringing this technology to people’s homes, but the closer we can get to
recreating the normal inputs to the brain, the better off we will be,”
said Robert Gaunt, co-senior author of the study.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2024·江苏南京高二下月考)Life doesn’t always seem
fair.Some people are just born with the ability to attract anyone they meet
easily.Well, it might seem like a magical power, but actually there are
various factors at work.13.( ) The answer is: to a large extent,
yes, you can.
But first, the bad news.People initially judge each other based
purely on physical appearance.With just a glimpse of a face, people
make snap judgments about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness
and confidence.How should we deal with this? 14.( ) People
perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable.It
sounds like common sense, doesn’t it? Smile and others will smile
with you.
What other tricks might we have?15.( ) Consequently,
three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our
eyebrows quickly, tilt (仰起) our heads slightly, and once again,
to smile.
So we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is
hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning
foolishly.The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good
about themselves, they’re going to like you.In other words, you
should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements.16.
( )
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a
connection.Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared
interests or experiences to bond with others.Simple things like asking
where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to
find areas in common.And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most
British of topics: the weather.17.( )
A. It can break the ice.
B. So, can you develop exceptional charm?
C. There’s one incredibly basic tool: your smile.
D. Alternatively, you need to display interest in them.
E. What effective strategies can we employ to become charming?
F. Our brains frequently scan the surroundings for signs of friend or
enemy.
G. Mutual interests are the foundation for building connections with
others.

时衔接空后一句,说明微笑的好处。
15. F 下文具体介绍是友不是敌的信号表达,F项(我们的大脑会审
视周围的环境寻找是敌是友的信号)可以和下文衔接恰当。
16. D 根据上文In other words, you should not talk about yourself and
all your wonderful achievements.可知,D项(相反,你需要表现出对
他们的兴趣)可以衔接上文,说明正确的做法是要关注对方。
17. A 根据上文And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most
British of topics: the weather.可知,A项(这是一个很好的开始)可
以承接上文,说明谈论天气是打开话题的好方法。
谢谢观看!
