21、Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk again. The lower bodies of the three patients were left paralyzed after they suffered spinal (脊柱的) cord injuries. But a device implanted in the spinal cord was able to send electrical signals to the muscles to permit them to stand, walk and exercise.

Scientists have discovered that neurons—which receive and send signals for muscle movements—often still work in injured patients with serious spinal cord injuries. However, past research into spinal cord injuries has centered on the stimulation of neurons. Now in the latest experiment led by Gregoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement. When the spinal cord receives the brain signals, it stimulates a collection of nerve cells that can activate different muscles.

The researchers reported that all three patients who got the spinal cord implants were able to take their first steps within an hour after receiving them. Over the next six months, the patients regained the ability to take part in more advanced walking activities, the study found. They were also able to ride bicycles and swim in community settings.

Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the spine, Courtine said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. This method permits more direct targeting and activation of spinal cord areas, he said.

The team then developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems linked to the device. The AI controls electrodes on the device to send signals to stimulate individual nerves that control muscles needed for walking and other activities. However, because the patients muscles were weak from not being used, they needed help with supporting their weight, the researchers said. It also took some time for them to learn to work with the technology. Still，Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.”

【1】What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A．Neurons in paralyzed patients can’t work.

B．Paralyzed men recovered using a new device.

C．The new device can imitate the brain to send signals.

D．Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research.

【2】How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly?

A．By using the AI system.

B．By sending the signals to the brain.

C．By making signals enter the spine from the sides.

D．By stimulating nerves through the back of the spine.

【3】Which can best describe Bloch’s idea in the last paragraph?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．It’s hard to please all.

C．Every garden has its weeds.

D．Put the cart before the horse.

【4】What is the purpose of this text?

A．To introduce the findings of a recent research.

C．To recommend a treatment for paralyzed patients.

D．To compare a recent research with other previous researches.

22、   A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.

The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by complex artificial intelligence algorithms(算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and Published in the scientific Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.

“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits(特点) with “well-established questionnaires” for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.

The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits, such as “neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as perceptual(感知的) curiosity”, the scientists wrote.

“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” Loetscher said.

“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information,” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.”

The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.

【1】What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Stare at. B. Understand.

C. Search for. D. Concern about.

【2】How did the researchers conduct the research?

A. It was carried out in a lab.

B. 42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.

C. The students’ daily movements were tracked.

D. Its subjects’ personalities were determined by computer.

【3】What can we know according to Tobias Loetscher?

A. Robots and computers are socially conscious.

B. People care less about improved, personalized services.

C. Today’s robots and computers can accustom to non-verbal information.

D. The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Human Personality Traits

B. What Human Eye Movements Are

C. Tell Personalities by Eye Movements.

D. How Humans and Machines Can Interact

23、Thailand’s “loneliest tree”, a tree growing on a rocky island only a few meters in diameter, is being seriously threatened by tourists desperate to get a selfie (自拍) with it.

The small patch of land located just off the country’s eastern coast in Trat Province has been called “Koh Khai Hua Roh” because it looks similar to the island featured in drawings of funny scenes involving a man and a woman trapped on an island in the popular Khai Hua Roh comic. The uninhabited island is quite a sight to behold, as it is home to a lonely tree that struggle to live despite being surrounded by salt water. Unfortunately, the tree’s popularity might just be the death of it.

On Tuesday, the Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization led a team of Thai reporters to Koh Khai Hua Roh in order to observe the country’s loneliest tree. They knew that photos of the lonely tree shared on social media had been attracting an increasing number of tourists to the island, but they had no idea how much damage that could produce.

According to The Nation, several small branches of the tree were found broken off, the tree’s exposed roots appeared to have been stepped heavily on to the point where the outer cover has peeled off (剥落), and the trunk appears to be tilting (倾斜) more than it did a few years back.

Koh Khai Hua Roh island is so tiny that it can only accommodate up to five people at a time, but local authorities admit that selfie-addicted tourists sometimes crowd there in much greater numbers, with some even climbing the poor tree.

The Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization plans to kickstart an educational campaign to hopefully teach people to conserve iconic landmarks like Thailand’s loneliest tree. It also plans to take more drastic actions, like restricting the number of tourists allowed to visit the island and making the island only accessible in certain seasons.

【1】The name of the island is related to .

A．a lonely tree

B．a popular comic

C．a controversial selfie

D．a threatened tourist

【2】How is the loneliest tree according to The Nation?

A．It is under protection.

B．It proves inaccessible

C．It has become less popular.

D．It is in a really bad state.

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Ways to establish landmarks.

B．Measures to advertise the island.

C．Responses to the damage from tourists.

D．Actions to attract more tourists.

【4】From which is this text most probably taken?

A．A geography textbook.

B．A news report.

C．A health magazine.

D．A travel guide.

24、The global population growing, the climate is warming, and, no surprise, the demand for energy is steadily increasing. We need to use less energy in any way that we can.

German design student Tobias Tribenbacher, from the University of the Arts Berlin, has created a street light called Papilio in response to global sustainability initiatives, saying that he initially chose to create a city-facing streetlight due to such lights’ role in tight pollution.

Papilio can be mounted to walls or set up as a freestanding lantern. The lamp should ideally be placed between three to six metres above ground, where ground-level winds are the strongest. The lamp is shaped like a pinwheel that acts as a wind turbine (涡轮), catching the wind to produce its own energy. It also has a rechargeable battery that stores electricity, so the lamp can operated even on less windy days.

Another key component of the lamp is the light itself. The warm- colored light doesn’t draw the attention of insects, and it uses an infrared(红外线的)sensor so that the light is only started by nearby motion, reducing its contribution to light pollution.

Aside from saving public space and beautifying streets, the streetlight’s design is also a visual signal of clean energy in action.“Design not only determines how street lights are working. It can also shape our attitude towards them and consequently affect how we use them,” Tobias Tribenbacher says.“Because energy creation is often an invisible process, projects such as these help the production of electricity become comprehensible.”

The lamp’s ability to change wind power into electricity can also be a huge benefit to naturally windy areas. And since it doesn’t require any electrical infrastructure (基础设施), there will be an opportunity to fix the street lights in remote settings or places where infrastructure innovations can be cost-prohibitive.

Just as lanterns create the character of streets and squares, Papilio is envisioned as a public sustainability statement that motivates residents to take part in transforming our cities into climate-friendly, future-proof environments.

【1】Why did Tribenbacher choose to create the street light?

A．To tackle light pollution.

B．To reduce biodiversity loss.

C．To beautify the city he lives in.

D．To draw public attention to waste.

【2】Which of the following is the feature of the street light?

A．It occupies a large space.

B．It can be fixed anywhere.

C．It is switched off by hand.

D．It is unattractive to insects.

【3】What do Tribenbacher’s words in Paragraph5 imply?

A．The climate crisis is tough to address.

B．Design can facilitate our comprehension.

C．We must take action to save clean energy.

D．We know little about electricity generation.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To stress the importance of innovation.

B．To introduce a wind- powered street light.

C．To advocate environmental sustainability.

D．To analyze the sustainability of the street light.

26、请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

In China, there’s growing awareness of people living with HIV/AIDS, and their right to receive respect and dignity. CCTV reporter Han Bin brings us one man’s story of how he lost three jobs due to his HIV-positive status.

34-year-old Ma Zhifa found out he was HIV-positive two years ago, since when his whole life has changed. He lost everything: job, income, marriage and confidence to live.

Ma Zhifa hopes society can find enough tolerance to give him a chance to work. Now his only support come from his daughter, who’s been taken away by her mother. And without an income, he can’t provide for his child.

The official number of HIV/AIDS patients in China is around one million, less than one percent of the population. But across the country, discrimination is common in medical treatment, the workplace and at school.

Ma Zhifa is determined to live a positive life. He hopes his openness may help start better treatment for others with similar experiences of discrimination.

When China released legislation that outlaws (宣告非法) discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS in 2004, it showed the determination of the government to remove the stigma (耻辱). Six years later, discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS was still widespread. Still, many believe that legal protection should be the base line for protecting those with HIV/AIDS, and should not give way to social prejudice.
