• 2．Neuralink has shared a video which appears to show a monkey playing a video game.That's fairly unusual，but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just its mind.Neuralink is a company owned by Elon Musk，who also owns the car company Tesla and the rocket company Space X.Neuralink is working to develop devices that could allow people to control things using just their brains.
   The monkey in the video is called Pager.Pager has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices planted in his brain by a surgeon.These devices are connected to 2，048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.
   Scientists taught Pager to play a video game.At first，Pager controlled the video game using a joystick，which is a normal gaming controller.But as Pager played，his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands.Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing.This was challenging work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence（AI）to help them decode（解碼）Pager's brain signals.
   Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to control their bodies to interact with the world around them.Mr.Musk says that in the near future Neuralink hopes to allow a paralyzed（癱瘓的）person to control a smartphone just by thinking.One day，the system will be able to send this information in a different way，allowing paralyzed people to use their arms or legs again.
  
  （1）What does the company Neuralink focus on？

  
  A．The latest style of cars.
  B．The manned spacecraft.
  C．The movements of the monkey.
  D．The equipment applied to brain control.
  （2）How did the scientists illustrate Pager's brain signals？

  
  A．By relying on artificial intelligence.
  B．By looking through the brain information.
  C．By combining the joystick with computers.
  D．By comparing signals with received information.
  （3）What's the final purpose of the experiment？

  
  A．To serve the disabled for a better life.
  B．To develop some games for monkeys.
  C．To learn more about animals' behaviors.
  D．To help the company make more profits.
  （4）In which section of a newspaper can we read the text？

  
  A．Environment.
  B．Technology.
  C．Discovery.
  D．Society.

• 3．When Allie and Chloe Knuth decided to both attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire，the twins from Green Bay were excited to share a campus but also determined to have their own distinct experiences and follow their own academic paths.
   Four years later-as they graduate together this month-the twins say things worked out even better than they could have expected.UW-Eau Claire's campus is small enough that their lives sometimes overlap（重疊），yet big enough that each of them has had room to stretch and grow as individuals.

"Graduating college is a momentous experience and I love that I will be walking with my sister."

"I didn't want to be without my twin sister，" Allie says of her decision. "It means a great deal to be graduating with my sister because she has always been there for me."
   They shared some experiences and accomplishments during their college careers.For example，they both completed certificates in Chinese.As Asian Americans，it was important for them to learn more about Chinese language and culture.
   Allie and Chloe also are active in the University Honors Program，a program where they were able to explore interesting topics that fell outside their academic program. "This program is not just something to put on my resume；it had a vast positive influence on my college experience，" says Allie.Chloe and Allie contributed a great deal to the Honors program，Dr.Heather Fielding says.They invested time and effort into helping other students，especially new students，to adapt to college and develop a sense of belonging，she says.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      I was born and grew up in the north of Scotland，which was not far from the sea.When I was little，I enjoyed the seaside scenery very much.I often sat on the rock by the sea and watched the view of the sea.I was fond of playing with the sand on the beach and chased the waves with my old sister，Alastair.
      Across the beach there was a tidal（潮汐）island，which means that when the tide goes out，you can walk to it，but when the tide comes in again，you can't get to it.Mum and Dad never let us go there.They told us that it was dangerous.However，the tidal island was full of mystery to me.I said to myself， "There must be some fascinating scenery worth exploring.How I wish I had a chance to land on it!"
      On a little cold day in October，while my parents were away for a friend's wedding，my sister was determined to take me to the beach near our house，where we would have a good time.I wanted to build sand castles.
      When we arrived at the beach，the tide was out.We ran on the beach back and forth and enjoyed ourselves very much.With the help of my sister，I made several sand castles of different shapes.Feeling a little tired，I sat on the beach for a break.I saw the tidal island opposite，which looked very nice in the autumn sunshine.
      "Let's go to explore the tidal island，Alastair，" I said to my sister.
      "That's a good idea.But Mum and Dad said we couldn't.Maybe we won't return safely!" Alastair said.
      "Don't worry!We'll try to return before the tide comes in again." I begged Alastair.
      Finally she agreed.We returned home and brought some peanut butter sandwiches and a bottle of milk with us.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      Then we set off for the tidal island.__________.
      The tide came in and covered the beach and the water was too deep and cold for me.__________.
