压轴题12阅读理解CD篇+语沫填空+读后续写（时间：60分钟满分：60分）第一节（共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分）A（2023 山东泰安统考模）How can people speak their mind without saying anything? This is a question that scientists have aimed to answer fbr a long time.Researchers recently brought an upgraded device that can translate users' brain waves into daily speech.Previously,the team led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, developed an Al-based system that can identify up to 50 commonly used words based on the participant's brain waves. The participant was a paralyzed （瘫痪的）man who had been implanted with 16 electrodes （电极）under his skull.According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen.Their tests showed that the device could decode silently spoken letters from a 1,152-word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute. The accuracy was up to 94 percent. "It shows strong promise fbr restoring communication by tapping into the brain's natural speech machinery,Chang said to the university's news website.However, this method can still be problematic since users still need to undergo surgery. Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.The new technique is called fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging （功能性磁共振成像）.Ifs a safer way of "readingbrain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm （算法）to create a story based on the fMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in brain-computer interfaces （脑机接口）designed fbr people who cannot speak or type.1. What do we know about the device mentioned in Para 2?A. It was implanted into a man's heart.B. It can help restore patients, lost memory.C. It was developed through cooperation.D. It can identify about 50 rarely used words.2. How does fMRF'readpeople9s minds?A. By tracking their active brain cells.B. By putting electrodes into their brains.C. By recording their reaction to radio shows.D. By matching their brain activity with their habits.3. Why is fMRI chosen compared to the first device mentioned in the story?A. Ws cheaper. B. Ws more accurate. C. It,s smaller in size. D. It9s safer.4. What can be concluded about fMRI from the last two paragraphs?A. It can only read what participants hear.B. It can be used in brain-computer interfaces.C. It can read every detail of participants' minds.D. It cannot work out what people imagine in their heads.B(2023山东泰安统考一模)Many people think work meetings are a waste of time, and that might be because most meetings keep employees from working well. One survey of 76 companies found that productivity was 71 percent higher when meetings were reduced by 40 percent. Unnecessary meetings waste $37 billion in salary hours a year in the U.S. alone.Many meetings occur without a specific reason. Another motive fbr meetings is what some scholars call the Mere Urgency effect, in which we engage in tasks - such as a meeting where each person recites what they9re working on, whether others need that information or not 一 to help us feel like we are accomplishing something actual.But the real problem with meetings is not lack of productivity it's unhappiness. When meetings are a waste of time, job satisfaction declines. And when job satisfaction declines, happiness in general foils. Thus, for a large population, eliminating meetings - or at least minimizing them - is one of the most straightforward ways to increase well-being.Nobody likes excessive and unproductive meetings. First, they generally increase fatigue. You have probably experienced a day of meetings, after which you are exhausted and haven't accomplished much. Second, people tend to engage in "surface acting” (faking emotions that are deemed appropriate) during work meetings. Finally, researchers have found that the strongest predictor of meeting effectiveness is active involvement by the participants. If you are asking yourself, “Why am I here?” you are not likely to think that the meeting is a good use of your time which is obviously bad for your work satisfaction.Taken together, the research on meetings shows that if you want to be happier at work (or want your employees to be happier), you should fight against the time-consuming, unproductive meetings at every opportunity. If there is one rule to remember about work meetings, it might be that they are a necessary evil. They are necessary as organizations need them fbr proper communication, but they are evil in that they are not irreplaceable, and should thus be used as little as possible fbr the sake of productivity and happiness.5. Why does the author mention the survey in Para 1 ?A. To explain the survey.B. To introduce the topic.C. To stress the importance of meeting.D. To state the disadvantage of meeting.6. Which of the following best explains “eliminating“ underlined in Para 3?A. Reducing.B. Hosting.C. Increasing. D. Avoiding.7. What is mainly talked about in Para 4?A. How to increase people's job satisfaction.B. The importance and necessity of minimizing meetings.C. Why excessive and unproductive meetings lower job satisfaction.D. Active involvement by the participants indicates meeting effectiveness.8. Which is the most suitable title fbr the text?A Work meetings A necessary evilB , Work meetings - The less, the betterC Work meetings - The more, the betterD.

Vingo was on board from the beginning.As the bus passed through Jersey, they began to notice that Vingo never moved. He sat in front of the young people, frozen into silence.Somewhere outside of Washington, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson's, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life. When they went back to the bus, the girl sat beside him and introduced herself.“Want some wine?" she said. He smiled and took the bottle. He thanked her and retreated again into silence. After a while, she went back to the others, as Vingo nodded into sleep.In the morning they awoke outside another Howard Johnson's, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. When they went back on the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, after a while, slowly and painfully and with great hesitation, he began to tell his story.

"I told her, I understand if you can't stay married to me, get a new guy and forget about me. And she didn't write to me. Not for three and a half years.”“And you're going home now, not knowing?“Yeah,“ he said shyly. "Last week, I wrote her. I told her that if she had a new guy, I under-stood. But if she didn't, if she would take me back she should let me know. We used to live in Brunswick, with a great big oak tree. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I would get off and come home. If she didn't want me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I'd keep going“Wow," the girl said. "Wow."She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.注意：L续写词数应为150左右；2 .请按如下格式作答。Paragraph 1 Now they were twenty miles from Brunswick.Paragraph 2 Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats.
