26、   A company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is 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 his mind.

The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain 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 it, 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 the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.

The final step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.

At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.

Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.

【1】What are “Link” devices used to do?

A．To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.

B．To link the computer to the monkey's brain.

C．To send out information about the brain's signals.

D．To control movements of the arms and hands.

【2】What challenged scientists most in the study?

A．Recording and sending out body signals.

B．Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.

C．Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.

D．Matching brain signals to body movements.

【3】What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?

A．To test artificial intelligence.

B．To help those without arms or legs.

C．To study how animals play video games.

D．To develop more complex video games.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Video Games for Animals Are Developed.

B．Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.

C．Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.

D．Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.

27、   To tip or not to tip? And how much should you tip?

【1】While people in the US usually leave a tip of no less than 15 percent of their bills, Britons are known for being less generous and tip 9 percent on average, according to a recent study done by online restaurant booking service Open Table.

【2】 For example, tipping in cafes and fast food restaurants can cause confusion.

In casual restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is also uncommon.

In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s normal to tip around 10 percent.

In some restaurants, a service charge may be added to the bill automatically, usually 10 or 12.5 percent. 38. 【3】

When you pay by credit card in the UK, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. According to The Guardian, “Cash tips are paid to employees, while credit card tips are paid to the restaurant.” 【4】If so, you don’t need to add a tip on the machine.

In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. 【5】. Tipping can be an unexpectedly tricky problem, as there are many cultural differences between countries. So before you go on your trip, be sure to check your destination’s tipping culture online.

A. This means they are asking for a tip.

B. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip.

C. It’s normal to tip people even if you haven’t had good service!

D. In fact, tipping is appreciated but not always the right thing to do in the UK.

E. Unlike in North America, tipping isn’t a big part of British culture.

F. Tipping like this has only been seen in Britain for the past 20 years.

G. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying.

28、Although living on the shores, the children in the coastal villages in Kenya rarely eat seafood. In 2020, Lora lannotti, a public-health researcher at Washington University asked people why the children weren’t eating seafood but corn flour, even though all the parents fish for a living. The parents said it made more financial sense for them to sell their catch than to eat it.

So, lannotti and her team are running a controlled experiment. They have given fishers improved nets with small openings that allow young fish to escape, thus improving the health of the overfished ocean over time, and eventually increasing incomes. Then, community health workers are using home visits and messaging to encourage parents to feed their children more fish. Later the scientists will track whether children from these families eat better and are growing taller.

Lannotti is trying to deal with questions that are a major focus of the whole world looking for diets that are good for both people and the planet. More than 2 billion people are overweight or obese (肥胖), mostly in the Western world while 811 million people are not getting enough calories or nutrition, mostly in low-income nations. As the world’s population continues to rise and more people start to eat like Westerners do, the production of meat, dairy and eggs will rise by about 44% by 2050.

That causes an environmental problem alongside the health concerns. Our current industrialized food system already sends out about 1/4 of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions. It also accounts for 70% of freshwater use and 40% of land coverage, and relies on fertilizers (化肥) that are responsible for much of the pollution in rivers.

“We need to make progress toward eating diets that have greatly lower ecological footprints, or it’ll be a matter of a few decades before we start to see global falls of biodiversity (生物多样性), land use and all of it.” says Sam Myers, director of the Planetary Health Alliance.

【1】Why are the children in coastal Kenya hardly fed seafood?

A．Their parents care little about health.

B．Their family needs money badly.

C．They aren’t used to seafood.

D．They are tired of seafood.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the experiment?

A．The significance.

B．The data.

C．The process.

D．The result.

【3】What problem on diet is the world giving most attention to?

A．Western eating habits are spreading around the world.

B．Too many westerners are overweight or obese.

C．People in underdeveloped countries are hungry.

D．What we eat needs to be nutritious and green.

【4】What is Sam Myers’ attitude towards current eating diets?

A．Worried.

B．Acceptable.

C．Positive.

D．Unclear.

29、   Last winter, I visited my sister and brother-in-law’s house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn’t have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground — not many people had ventured out that evening!

When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that only my car was left there. Nervously, I quickly got into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.

All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror (后视镜), I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members — at least I thought that’s what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said “Excuse me, Ma’am, can we help you? You seem stuck.” Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said “I am stuck.” And the young man said “It’s okay, stay in your car and we’ll push you out of the snow.” And they did!

When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.
