Located 86 km north-east of Bougainville in the South Pacific, the Carteret Islands of

Having a microchip implanted in a man’s brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots,
but it may soon become an actual possibility. Elon Musk - a U. S. tech mogul(大亨), founder
of Space X and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla - has been working on this technology.
On August 28, Musk gave a live-stream ___11___ of the chip, which was implanted into the
head of a pig named Gertrude.
The chip, ___12___ by Musk’s company Neuralink, is the size of a coin, but don’t let its
size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes(电极)attached to ___13___ threads
which can monitor about 1,000 neurons(神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the
brain, and then transmits those signals ___14___ to nearby computers, according to MSN. In
the live-stream, Gertrude could be seen walking around her pen sniffing the ground while a
monitor showed her brain activity.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is ___15___ for humans. This
technology “would solve a lot of brain / spine injuries and is ultimately essential for AI
symbiosis(共生),” which allows the human brain to merge(融合)with an artificial
intelligence, Musk said in previous interviews.
When the device can be ___16___ to humans, its main goal will be to help those who
have mobility issues, such as those suffering from paralysis. Musk hopes this technology
could also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure
for epilepsy(癫痫).
Although such a device could, in ___17___, repair those problems, putting it into
practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about
500 neurons in the pig’s brain. The number is tiny when ___18___ to 80 billion neurons in a
human brain. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much
smaller.
Also implanting the chip into the brain poses a(n) ___19___ danger. There is a risk of
the immune system attacking this foreign body.
Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems
____20____ optimistic. “There are many technological challenges to overcome before
Neuralink can use its devices to achieve the corrective purposes it foresees for them,” said
Yuan Langfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China.

三、完形填空
Celebrity has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans
used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public ____21____ to base its
consumption on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion
magazines have almost ____22____ the practice of putting models on the cover because they
don’t sell nearly as well as famous ____23____. As a result, celebrities have realized their
unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to
____24____ their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a ____25____ new phenomenon, but in the past they were
typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and ____26____ a few TV actresses. Today
they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top
____27____. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with ____28____
personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand
their production scale rapidly, ____29____ almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related ____30____ tale of a celebrity who
overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s ____31____ is, if it
fails to impress consumers with its own qualities, it begins to resemble an exercise in self-
promotional marketing. And once the ____32____ attention dies down, consumer interest
might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might
be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to
____33____ a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought
him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. ____34____,
the ego’s (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth
and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As
the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as ____35____
might last a lifetime, but fashion-like celebrity-has always been short-lived.

评卷人 得分 四、阅读理解
A
The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd.
When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee,
who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother,
Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I
was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made
no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led
me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no
patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and
discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary
wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of
my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English
language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist
by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even
after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a
spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she
alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the
spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I
wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and
indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
36．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph Two most probably mean?
A．Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.
B．The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.
C．Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author.
D．The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about.
37．Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?
A．Stepping on the American soil for the first time.
B．Her mother’s miserable death.
C．Being exposed to Greek literary works.
D．Following the prettiest girl in his class.
38．It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that _______.
A．Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation
B．Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style
C．The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired
D．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students
39．The passage is mainly concerned with _______.
A．how the author became a journalist B．the importance of inspiration in one’s
life
C．the teacher who shaped the author’s life D．factors contributing to a successful
career
B
1. Blood is blue inside your body.
Human blood is the same color inside your body as it is outside: red. Our veins look blue
because the tissue covering them changes the way light is absorbed and scattered, which
affects our perception of their color.
2. Paul Revere shouted “The British are coming!”
You can thank Henry Weds-worth Longfellow and his poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” for
spreading that tale. No one knows what, if anything. Revere shouted through the streets of
Lexington, Massachusetts, though we don know he told one guard that “the regulars are
coming out.”
3. The hottest part of a chill pepper is the seeds
Capsaicia, a chemical compound that binds to the pain receptors on our nerves to
produce that very heat, is most concennrated in the inner white rib of the chili pepper. The
seeds don’t actually contain any capsaicin, but they may be coated in it because they touch
the rib.
4. Jesus Christ was born on December 25.
The Gospels of Matthew and Luke never mention the date of Jesus’s birth. So why do
we celebrate December 25 as the day that Christ was born? It could be because of a Roman
Catholic historian from the third century, Sextus Julios Africanus, who believed Jesus was
conceived on March 25 - nine months before what is now Christmas Day.
5. The Sahara is the world’s largest desert.
