A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo--a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy--the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.
Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.”
The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor’s design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained.
24. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?
A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters.
C. Stratton Smith’s behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution.
25. What do we know about the backpack?
A. It collects polluted air. B. It is powered by wind.
C. It is of practical use. D. It sells well at present.
26. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack?
A. Students living in poverty. B. Those suffering from asthma.
C. People working in an open way. D. Judges worried about pollution.
27. Which of the following best describes Eleanor Woods?
A. Humorous and modest. B. Ambitious and selfless.
C. Confident and fearless. D. Creative and considerate.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】

C
Decisions in life are rarely black and white but usually involve shades of gray. At dinner time, the decision you face is not between fasting and eating like a pig, but whether to take that extra spoonful of food. When exams are around the corner, your decision is not between quitting them and studying 24 hours a day, but whether to spend an extra hour reviewing your notes. Economists use the term “marginal changes” to describe minor adjustments to an existing plan of action.
In many situations, people make the best decisions by thinking at the margin. Margin means “edge”, so marginal changes are adjustments around the edges of what you are doing. Suppose, for instance, that you ask a friend for advice about how many years to stay in school. If he compares the lifestyle of a person with a Ph. D. to that of a grade school dropout, you might complain that this comparison is not helpful for your decision. You have some education already and most likely are deciding whether to spend an extra year or two in school. To make this decision, you need to know the additional benefits that an extra year in school would offer (higher salaries throughout life and the pure joy of learning) and the additional costs that you would pay (tuition and the forgone salaries while you are in school). By comparing these marginal benefits and marginal costs, you can evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile.
Individuals and firms can make better decisions by thinking at the margin. A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost.
28. What does “fasting” underlined in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Eating or drinking a lot. B. Eating little or no food.
C. Eating on a regular basis. D. Eating without appetite.
29. Why does the author give an example in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain marginal thinking. B. To solve real-life problems.
C To evaluate marginal thinking. D. To encourage adjustments.
30. What can we infer from the text?
A. It is unnecessary to make minor adjustments to plans.
B. Comparison makes little sense in decision-making.
C. People often weigh up benefits and costs of decisions.
D. Marginal changes are controversial among individuals.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Marginal Thinking Leads to Better Decisions
B. Marginal Benefit Goes beyond Marginal Cost
C. Rational Thinkers Exist in All Aspects of Life
D. Pleasure Results from Effective Comparison
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了边际思维的定义和功能，举例说明了边际思维的意义，即它能帮助人们在日常工作、学习和生活中作出更合理的决定。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Decisions in life are rarely black and white but usually involve shades of gray. At dinner time, the decision you face is not between fasting and eating like a pig, but whether to take that extra spoonful of food. When exams are around the corner, your decision is not between quitting them and studying 24 hours a day, but whether to spend an extra hour reviewing your notes.(生活中的决定很少是非黑即白的，但通常都是灰色的。在晚餐时间，你面临的决定不是 还是像猪一样吃，而是是否多吃一勺食物。当考试临近时，你的决定不是放弃考试还是24小时学习，而是是否多花一个小时复习笔记。)”可推断出，fasting 在此处与eating like a pig意思相反。所以应该是“节食”的意思。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Margin means ‘edge’, so marginal changes are adjustments around the edges of what you are doing.(边际意味着‘边缘’，所以边际变化是围绕你正在做的事情的边缘进行的调整。)”以及下文的举例“ Suppose, for instance, that you ask a friend for advice about how many years to stay in school. If he compares the lifestyle of a person with a Ph. D. to that of a grade school dropout, you might complain that this comparison is not helpful for your decision. ...(例如，假设你向一个朋友征求关于在学校待多少年的建议。如果他把一个博士的生活方式和一个小学辍学的人的生活方式进行比较，你可能会抱怨这种比较对你的决定没有帮助。……)”可知，举例是为了解释说明边际变化及边际思维。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“By comparing these marginal benefits and marginal costs, you can evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile.(通过比较这些边际收益和边际成本，你可以评估额外的一年是否值得。)”和最后一段“A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost.(当且仅当行动的边际收益超过边际成本时，理性决策者才会采取行动。)”可知，人们常常会权衡利弊，从而作出更优的选择。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。分析文章可知，第一段举例说明生活中的边际变化；第二段介绍边际思维的定义及功能；第三段阐述边际思维在实际生活中的应用和意义。再结合文章最后一段“Individuals and firms can make better decisions by thinking at the margin.(个人和公司可以通过边际思维做出更好的决策)”，A项Marginal Thinking Leads to Better Decisions(边际思维带来更好的决策)符合文意。故选A项。
D
After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn texts into images. They do this by learning from a large amount of data from both texts and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images directly based on people's brain scans, Science magazine reported.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10, 000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The AI then learned about the participants' brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activity with the photos. Through this method, the AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of objects.
If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” to about 80 percent accuracy, according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that combines texts and images to “decode the brain”. According to Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, in the future, the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive (感知) reality.
32. What is Stable Diffusion meant to do?
A. Scan people's brains. B. Turn texts into images.
C. Use brain scans to rebuild images. D. Record relevant experimental data.
33. How did the AI learn about the participants' brain activities?
A. By analyzing changes in blood flow. B. By asking the participants questions.
C. By comparing different brain scans. D. By referring to previous AI models.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Dreams can hardly be forgotten by us. B. Texts and images help decode the brain.
C. People's brains are affected by fMRI. D. The AI creates clear images of objects at first.
35. What does Ariel Goldstein say about the technology?
A. It has been adopted in many countries. B. Its development is far from satisfactory.
C. It is lacking in convincing evidence. D. Its application has a great prospect.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家利用人工智能Stable Diffusion和fMRI技术，对脑神经信号进行解码，帮助人们重现梦境、想象或记忆画面。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images directly based on people's brain scans, Science magazine reported.(据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为‘Stable Diffusion’的人工智能系统，可以直接根据人们的大脑扫描重建图像。)”可知，Stable Diffusion的功能为直接基于人脑扫描重建图像。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The AI then learned about the participants' brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. (然后，人工智能通过分析fMRI数据显示的血流变化来了解参与者的大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时，会有更多的血液流向它。)”可知，通过分析实验参与者血液流动变化，AI可了解其大脑活动。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that combines texts and images to ‘decode the brain’. (这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来‘解码大脑’的新方法。)”可知，该项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来破译大脑的新方法。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“According to Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, in the future, the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive (感知) reality.(普林斯顿大学的Ariel Goldstein表示，未来，这项技术可以用来记录想象中的想法和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的不同看法。)”可知，Ariel Goldstein认为这项技术将来可应用于记录幻想和梦境，或是帮助人们了解其他动物对现实感知的差异，因此该技术具有极大的应用前景。故选D项。

由上文“How much time does it take you to sleep, eat and commute every day?(你每天花多少时间睡觉、吃饭和通勤？)”可知，设空处所填的句子应该是回答前句，连接后句给出事实的结果。而F项These basic activities take up an enormous part of your day.(这些基本活动占据了你一天中很大一部分时间。)符合语境，其中These basic activities和上文sleep, eat and commute 对应。 故选F项。
【37题详解】
由上文“Work out a plan in advance.(提前制定一个计划。)”可知，本段主要讲即提前制定计划，而本空设在段首，旨在进一步解释副标题大意。E项Think about upcoming events and make a to-do list.(思考即将发生的事件，并列出待办事项。)符合语境，其中make a to-do list与上文Work out a plan 对应。故选E项。
【38题详解】
由下文“This is about the skill of organization. It refers to arranging your personal space at home. So when doing your homework, you are in a tidy place, free from distractions. This includes putting away your mobile phone until you have finished everything that needs to be done.(这是关于组织的技巧。它指的是在家里安排你的个人空间。所以，当你做作业时，你在一个整洁的地方，没有分心的事情。这包括把你的手机收起来，直到你完成了所有需要做的事情。)”可知，这段主要讲怎样创造对自己有利的条件。而A项Create favourable conditions.(创造有利条件。)符合语境，其中“arranging”，“a tidy place”，“free from distractions”和“putting away”，与A项“Create favourable conditions”相呼应。故选A项。
【39题详解】
由上文“You should classify the activities on the basis of their urgency and importance. (你应该根据活动的紧迫性和重要性对其进行分类。)”以及后句“Then you can focus on your objective and stick to it.(然后你可以专注于你的目标并坚持下去。)”可知，设空处所填内容应为将活动进行分类的好处，所以D项This classification will help determine your priority.(此分类将有助于确定您的优先级。)符合语境。其中This classification 与上文classify对应。故选D项。
【40题详解】
由上文“Once you start taking little steps every day to plan, organize and prioritize the activities you intend to devote your energy, skills and talents to, you can spare more time to stay with family and friends, pursue a hobby or work on personal development. (一旦你开始每天采取一些小步骤来计划、组织和优先安排你打算投入精力、技能和才能的活动，你就可以腾出更多的时间与家人和朋友呆在一起，追求爱好或致力于个人发展。)”可知，这里主要讲一旦提前规划、创造环境并对所做事情进行优化排序，人们将收获时间管理带来的好处。所以G项You will end up reaping (收获) the rewards of time management.(你最终会收获时间管理的回报。)符合语境，对上文有总结作用。故选G项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了西汉时期出土的一个文物：长信宫灯。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：长信宫灯是一件无价之宝，被认为是“中国第一盏灯”。表示“一件无价之宝”，invaluable首字母的发音为元音音素。 故填an。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：镀金的青铜灯的形状是一个跪在地上拿着灯的女仆。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词，hold与a maid在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填holding。

考查定语从句。句意：句意：令人惊讶的是，这盏灯利用了虹吸原理，烟灰通过女仆的右臂流入她的身体，那里储存着水。先行词为body，在定语从句中作地点状语，关系副词为where。故填where。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：除此之外，六组分灯都可以拆卸，并且易于清洁。be easy to do sth“容易做某事”。故填to clean。
【62题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：2022年北京冬奥会火灯的设计灵感来自长信宫灯。主语The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Flame Lantern与谓语为被动关系，可以表示陈述现在的事实，也可以陈述过去的事实，所以本句为一般现在的被动语态或者一般过去时的被动语态。故填was inspired/is inspired。
【63题详解】

第二节（满分25分）
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance. The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back.
As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face.
“What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked.
“Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere.
“But it's so warm and sunny here. I don't think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation.
However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.”
The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged!
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason's eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again…and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四名登山者在登山的时候遭遇了暴风雨，被困在了户外。多亏了领队Jason冷静应对，带领大家躲雨，最终坚持到了救援人员到来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“随着天色渐黑，Jason觉得继续下去太危险了”可知，第一段可描写Jason在责任和领导压力的推动下为大家寻找避雨处。
②由第二段首句内容“最后，暴风雨出现了停止的迹象，登山者决定继续下山”可知，第二段可描写登山者下山时遇到了赶来的救援人员。
2.续写线索：登山者害怕——寻找避雨处——躲雨等雨停——雨停——开始下山——遇到救援人员——感悟
3.词汇激活

A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo--a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy--the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.
Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.”
The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor’s design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained.
24. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?
A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters.
C. Stratton Smith’s behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution.
25. What do we know about the backpack?
A. It collects polluted air. B. It is powered by wind.
C. It is of practical use. D. It sells well at present.
26. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack?
A. Students living in poverty. B. Those suffering from asthma.
C. People working in an open way. D. Judges worried about pollution.
27. Which of the following best describes Eleanor Woods?
A. Humorous and modest. B. Ambitious and selfless.
C. Confident and fearless. D. Creative and considerate.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D

Decisions in life are rarely black and white but usually involve shades of gray. At dinner time, the decision you face is not between fasting and eating like a pig, but whether to take that extra spoonful of food. When exams are around the corner, your decision is not between quitting them and studying 24 hours a day, but whether to spend an extra hour reviewing your notes. Economists use the term “marginal changes” to describe minor adjustments to an existing plan of action.
In many situations, people make the best decisions by thinking at the margin. Margin means “edge”, so marginal changes are adjustments around the edges of what you are doing. Suppose, for instance, that you ask a friend for advice about how many years to stay in school. If he compares the lifestyle of a person with a Ph. D. to that of a grade school dropout, you might complain that this comparison is not helpful for your decision. You have some education already and most likely are deciding whether to spend an extra year or two in school. To make this decision, you need to know the additional benefits that an extra year in school would offer (higher salaries throughout life and the pure joy of learning) and the additional costs that you would pay (tuition and the forgone salaries while you are in school). By comparing these marginal benefits and marginal costs, you can evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile.
Individuals and firms can make better decisions by thinking at the margin. A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost.
28. What does “fasting” underlined in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Eating or drinking a lot. B. Eating little or no food.
C. Eating on a regular basis. D. Eating without appetite.
29. Why does the author give an example in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain marginal thinking. B. To solve real-life problems.
C To evaluate marginal thinking. D. To encourage adjustments.
30. What can we infer from the text?
A. It is unnecessary to make minor adjustments to plans.
B. Comparison makes little sense in decision-making.
C. People often weigh up benefits and costs of decisions.
D. Marginal changes are controversial among individuals.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Marginal Thinking Leads to Better Decisions
B. Marginal Benefit Goes beyond Marginal Cost
C. Rational Thinkers Exist in All Aspects of Life
D. Pleasure Results from Effective Comparison
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了边际思维的定义和功能，举例说明了边际思维的意义，即它能帮助人们在日常工作、学习和生活中作出更合理的决定。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Decisions in life are rarely black and white but usually involve shades of gray. At dinner time, the decision you face is not between fasting and eating like a pig, but whether to take that extra spoonful of food. When exams are around the corner, your decision is not between quitting them and studying 24 hours a day, but whether to spend an extra hour reviewing your notes.(生活中的决定很少是非黑即白的，但通常都是灰色的。在晚餐时间，你面临的决定不是 还是像猪一样吃，而是是否多吃一勺食物。当考试临近时，你的决定不是放弃考试还是24小时学习，而是是否多花一个小时复习笔记。)”可推断出，fasting 在此处与eating like a pig意思相反。所以应该是“节食”的意思。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Margin means ‘edge’, so marginal changes are adjustments around the edges of what you are doing.(边际意味着‘边缘’，所以边际变化是围绕你正在做的事情的边缘进行的调整。)”以及下文的举例“ Suppose, for instance, that you ask a friend for advice about how many years to stay in school. If he compares the lifestyle of a person with a Ph. D. to that of a grade school dropout, you might complain that this comparison is not helpful for your decision. ...(例如，假设你向一个朋友征求关于在学校待多少年的建议。如果他把一个博士的生活方式和一个小学辍学的人的生活方式进行比较，你可能会抱怨这种比较对你的决定没有帮助。……)”可知，举例是为了解释说明边际变化及边际思维。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“By comparing these marginal benefits and marginal costs, you can evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile.(通过比较这些边际收益和边际成本，你可以评估额外的一年是否值得。)”和最后一段“A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost.(当且仅当行动的边际收益超过边际成本时，理性决策者才会采取行动。)”可知，人们常常会权衡利弊，从而作出更优的选择。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。分析文章可知，第一段举例说明生活中的边际变化；第二段介绍边际思维的定义及功能；第三段阐述边际思维在实际生活中的应用和意义。再结合文章最后一段“Individuals and firms can make better decisions by thinking at the margin.(个人和公司可以通过边际思维做出更好的决策)”，A项Marginal Thinking Leads to Better Decisions(边际思维带来更好的决策)符合文意。故选A项。
D
After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn texts into images. They do this by learning from a large amount of data from both texts and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images directly based on people's brain scans, Science magazine reported.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10, 000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The AI then learned about the participants' brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activity with the photos. Through this method, the AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of objects.
If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” to about 80 percent accuracy, according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that combines texts and images to “decode the brain”. According to Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, in the future, the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive (感知) reality.
32. What is Stable Diffusion meant to do?
A. Scan people's brains. B. Turn texts into images.
C. Use brain scans to rebuild images. D. Record relevant experimental data.
33. How did the AI learn about the participants' brain activities?
A. By analyzing changes in blood flow. B. By asking the participants questions.
C. By comparing different brain scans. D. By referring to previous AI models.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Dreams can hardly be forgotten by us. B. Texts and images help decode the brain.
C. People's brains are affected by fMRI. D. The AI creates clear images of objects at first.
35. What does Ariel Goldstein say about the technology?
A. It has been adopted in many countries. B. Its development is far from satisfactory.
C. It is lacking in convincing evidence. D. Its application has a great prospect.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家利用人工智能Stable Diffusion和fMRI技术，对脑神经信号进行解码，帮助人们重现梦境、想象或记忆画面。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images directly based on people's brain scans, Science magazine reported.(据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为‘Stable Diffusion’的人工智能系统，可以直接根据人们的大脑扫描重建图像。)”可知，Stable Diffusion的功能为直接基于人脑扫描重建图像。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The AI then learned about the participants' brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. (然后，人工智能通过分析fMRI数据显示的血流变化来了解参与者的大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时，会有更多的血液流向它。)”可知，通过分析实验参与者血液流动变化，AI可了解其大脑活动。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that combines texts and images to ‘decode the brain’. (这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来‘解码大脑’的新方法。)”可知，该项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来破译大脑的新方法。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“According to Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, in the future, the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive (感知) reality.(普林斯顿大学的Ariel Goldstein表示，未来，这项技术可以用来记录想象中的想法和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的不同看法。)”可知，Ariel Goldstein认为这项技术将来可应用于记录幻想和梦境，或是帮助人们了解其他动物对现实感知的差异，因此该技术具有极大的应用前景。故选D项。

【57题详解】

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance. The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back.
As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face.
“What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked.
“Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere.
“But it's so warm and sunny here. I don't think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation.
However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.”
The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged!
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason's eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again…and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四名登山者在登山的时候遭遇了暴风雨，被困在了户外。多亏了领队Jason冷静应对，带领大家躲雨，最终坚持到了救援人员到来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“随着天色渐黑，Jason觉得继续下去太危险了”可知，第一段可描写Jason在责任和领导压力的推动下为大家寻找避雨处。
②由第二段首句内容“最后，暴风雨出现了停止的迹象，登山者决定继续下山”可知，第二段可描写登山者下山时遇到了赶来的救援人员。
2.续写线索：登山者害怕——寻找避雨处——躲雨等雨停——雨停——开始下山——遇到救援人员——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
注意到：notice/ observe
预期：expect/anticipate
继续：continue /go on
情绪类
害怕：frightened /scared
渴望：eager for /long for
