Imagine sitting there sipping coffee when suddenly you see someone about to die. What would you do On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was staring out of his house in Edgewater, Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when his daughter Aimee spotted the Piper Cherokee. “Look!” she cried. Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert realized it was going to land in the creek (小溪). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentago in Washington, D．C．, when terrorists crashed a jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled.
On this day, Gelinned didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (打滑) to as top on the broad, frozen creek, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船).
The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too flimsy, so the pair tried using shovels (铲) to push the boats along. It was exhausting. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (浸没) up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne nudged (轻推) his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics What if I flip (翻) ”
With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the three men were floating together. By now, a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and sent him to be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted to shore while John Jr. made his own way back.
“I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.

Scientists have found a way to decode (解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to copy each word, a team reports.“It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an author of the study.”
Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language. Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner which detects signs of activity across the brain. Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet. Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain, not just in areas associated with speech and language. After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner, the MRI data was sent to a computer. It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words. Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.
The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people, where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain. With an MRI-based system, no one has to get surgery.
But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions. “What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head That’s potentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably, though. It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists. Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts.
8．What is special about the Texas team’s study
A．Brain can be reconstructed. B．Expression can be perfected.
C．Meanings can be comprehended. D．Sensor signals can be improved.
9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The process of an experiment. B．Patterns of brain activity.
C．Steps of word matching. D．The way of speech decoding.
10．What can be implied about MRI scans from the last paragraph
A．They are a double-edged sword. B．They are potentially harmful to life.
C．They are helpful to treat brain disease. D．They are well worth researching.
11．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Decoder That Can Read Your Mind B．MRI Scanner: Raise a moral question
C．MRI Scanner: Still a Long Way to Go D．A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning

If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well-being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well-being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
“The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting(短暂的)of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time—days, weeks or even longer—to imagine the joy full surprise on another person's face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
12．What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A．It's one-sided. B．It's pointless
C．It's convincing. D．It's pioneering.
13．Why were some participants more energized in the experiment
A．They were free from secrets. B．They were optimistic and cheerful.
C．They had shared good news with others D．They had unrevealed positive secrets
14．What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Panic B．Exhaust. C．Confuse D．Spoil.
15．According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A．Never reveal a secret casually B．Let your imagination run wild.
C．Be creative when surprising others. D．Delay sharing a positive secret.

“Look at this,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper I had grabbed as we entered the library. On it was a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.
Mandy took the paper and glanced at it. She stopped when her eyes caught the date. “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair.”
I had a feelings she’d mention that. “Yeah, that’s true,” I said. “But we always go to the fair.”
Mandy handed the paper back to me as she stood up to look at the shelf of new books.
“Tessa, you’re the artist.” She smiled. “But my paintings are so terrible.”
“You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I sad in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone. Mandy could make friends with a whole busload of kids in 10 minutes, but my stomach twirls (旋转) like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me.
Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper.
“What’s that ” Mom picked up the paper and asked.
“A flyer for an art camp.” I explained.
“Would you like to attend it ” Mom asked.
“Probably not,” I said. “None of my friends are going.”
Mom patted my back and put the paper down. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around.
During the flowing days, I always thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert realized it was going to land in the creek (小溪). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentago in Washington, D．C．, when terrorists crashed a jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape.

5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. (他逃离了混乱，但一直想知道他是否可以留在里面帮忙。“向右就是危机，向左就是逃避。我甚至不知道我能不能向右走，但我还是向左走了，”他回忆说)”可知，Gelinne对2001年9月11日他逃离现场感到后悔。故选A项。
6．推理判断题。根据第三段中“He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船).

8．细节理解题。根据第一段中““It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an author of the study.” (该研究的作者之一亚历山大·胡特说：“这是在理解单词背后的意思。”)”和第二段“Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. (以前解码语言的努力依赖于直接放置在大脑表面的传感器。传感器检测与表达单词有关的区域的信号。但卡耐基梅隆大学的心理学教授马塞尔·贾斯特说，德克萨斯团队的方法是试图“解码更多自由形式的思想”)”可知，德克萨斯研究小组的研究的特别之处是：单词背后的意思可以被理解。故选C。
9．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language. Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner which detects signs of activity across the brain. Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet. Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain, not just in areas associated with speech and language. After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner, the MRI data was sent to a computer. It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words. Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard. (这项新研究是为了了解大脑如何处理语言。研究人员让三个人每人花16个小时在功能性核磁共振扫描仪上，以检测大脑活动的迹象。参与者戴着耳机，播放来自互联网的音频。这些单词流在整个大脑中产生活动，而不仅仅是与语音和语言相关的区域。参与者在扫描仪中听了几个小时的故事后，核磁共振成像数据被发送到电脑上。它学会了将特定的大脑活动模式与特定的词汇流相匹配。然后是参与者听到的内容的释义版本)”可知，第三段的描写实验的过程。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts. (尽管如此，解码语言的系统有一天可能会帮助那些因脑损伤或疾病而无法说话的人。它们还帮助科学家了解大脑是如何处理文字和思想的)”可知，核磁共振扫描非常值得研究。故选D。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Scientists have found a way to decode (解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. (科学家们已经找到了一种方法，通过核磁共振扫描和人工智能来解码大脑中的单词流)”可知，文章主要说明了科学家通过核磁共振扫描和人工智能来解码大脑中的单词流，这项新研究是为了了解大脑如何处理语言。可知，A选项“A Decoder That Can Read Your Mind (一个能读懂你的心的解码器)”最符合题意。故选A。
D
If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well-being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well-being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
“The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting(短暂的)of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time—days, weeks or even longer—to imagine the joy full surprise on another person's face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
12．What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A．It's one-sided. B．It's pointless
C．It's convincing. D．It's pioneering.
13．Why were some participants more energized in the experiment
A．They were free from secrets. B．They were optimistic and cheerful.
C．They had shared good news with others D．They had unrevealed positive secrets
14．What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Panic B．Exhaust. C．Confuse D．Spoil.
15．According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A．Never reveal a secret casually B．Let your imagination run wild.
C．Be creative when surprising others. D．Delay sharing a positive secret.
【答案】12．A 13．D 14．B 15．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哥伦比亚大学的教授Michael Slepian关于保密的研究，他发现在告诉别人之前把好消息保密可以使人们感到更有活力。
12．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Decades of research on secrecy suggest it is bad for our well-being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy inherently bad for our well-being or do the negative effects of secrecy tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ”（几十年来对保密的研究表明，保密对我们的健康有害。然而，这项工作只研究了保守对我们的生活有负面影响的秘密。保密是天生对我们的幸福有害，还是保密的负面影响往往源于保守负面秘密？）可知，Michael Slepian认为以前的研究只关注了保守负面秘密的影响，很片面，忽视了保守积极秘密的影响，故选A。
13．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.”（研究人员发现，回想自己的积极秘密的参与者比回想那些没有秘密的好消息的参与者感觉更有活力。）可知，一些参与者因为他们有未公开的积极秘密而感到更有活力，故选D。
14．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression.”（消极的秘密往往会deplete，也与焦虑和抑郁症有关。）可推知，负面的秘密有不利影响，往往会耗尽我们。故deplete在此处意为“耗尽”，故选B。
15．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be intensely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting of our emotions”（人们有时会不遗余力地计划透露一个积极的秘密，让它变得更加令人兴奋。这种惊喜可能非常令人愉快，但惊喜是我们情绪中最短暂的。）和“Having extra time days, weeks or even longer-to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”（有额外的时间——几天，几周甚至更长的时间——想象别人脸上的喜悦惊喜，让我们有更多的时间享受这个激动人心的时刻，即使只是在我们自己的脑海中。）可推知，告诉别人之前把好消息保密可以使人们感到更兴奋，因此推断Slepian建议读者延迟分享积极的秘密，故选D。

With greenhouse gases continuing to rise in the atmosphere and concentrations of carbon dioxide at their 38 (high) in at last two million years, the climate time-bomb is ticking. Strict measures must be taken 39 (address) the problem.
It reminds me 40 the science-fiction stories I read when I was growing up about governments 41 (look) for solutions when natural resources were being over-extended. A look at such stories provides some approaches to what is acknowledged to be 42 very serious and worsening world-wide problem. We are using our resources at an alarming rate and in the process, pumping tons of greenhouse gases into an atmosphere 43 simply cannot absorb all without causing major effects. There’s a general agreement that urgent action 44 (need) to stop us from literally making our world 45 (fit) to live in. The answers, at least so far, concentrate on manipulating those resources and the ways in which we use them.

43．考查定语从句。句意：我们正在以惊人的速度使用我们的资源，在这个过程中，将大量的温室气体排放到大气中，大气无法在不造成重大影响的情况下完全吸收所有温室气体。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词an atmosphere，指物，在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
44．考查动词时态语态。句意：人们普遍认为，需要采取紧急行动，阻止我们把我们的世界变得不适合居住。陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语action和need为被动关系，需用被动语态，主语为单数名词，be动词用is。故填is needed。
45．考查形容词。句意同上。空处需填形容词作宾语补足语，表示“不适合的”应用unfit。故填unfit。

47．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。
“Look at this,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper I had grabbed as we entered the library. On it was a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.
Mandy took the paper and glanced at it. She stopped when her eyes caught the date. “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair.”
I had a feelings she’d mention that. “Yeah, that’s true,” I said. “But we always go to the fair.”
Mandy handed the paper back to me as she stood up to look at the shelf of new books.
“Tessa, you’re the artist.” She smiled. “But my paintings are so terrible.”
“You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I sad in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone. Mandy could make friends with a whole busload of kids in 10 minutes, but my stomach twirls (旋转) like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me.
Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper.
“What’s that ” Mom picked up the paper and asked.
“A flyer for an art camp.” I explained.
“Would you like to attend it ” Mom asked.
“Probably not,” I said. “None of my friends are going.”
Mom patted my back and put the paper down. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around.
During the flowing days, I always thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sensing my struggle, Mom encouraged me to give it a try.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The decision to attend the art camp proved worthwhile.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Sensing my struggle, Mom encouraged me to give it a try. Looking into her earnest eyes, I knew I had to think twice before making the final decision. That night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. What if I gave up the gold chance What if I failed to get along well with the new fellows Finally, the burning desire to attend the camp beat the fear of facing the unknown. Taking a deep breath, I filled in the application for the camp.
The decision to attend the art camp proved worthwhile. There were so many amazing activities that time just flied before I knew it. Not only did it open a new window of painting for me but also I overcame the shyness I’d always felt before when I met strangers. I became confident and easygoing, willing to express myself and make friends with other kids. I knew that if I wanted to grow better, I had to reach out beyond my comfort zone.
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者在图书馆发现了一张艺术夏令营的传单，与朋友Mandy讨论这个夏令营，但Mandy提到夏令营的时间与集市冲突，而且自己不擅长绘画。作者试图鼓励Mandy一起去夏令营，因为她不想独自一人。作者随后联系了朋友Emily和Yoshiko，得知她们也无法参加夏令营，她感到失望。因为她的朋友们都不去，作者产生了放弃参加的念头。她的母亲理解她的担忧，并给予她安慰。接下来，作者仍常想起艺术夏令营，希望自己能够勇敢地独自参加。

②由第二段首句内容“参加艺术夏令营的决定证明是值得的”可知，第二段可描写作者在夏令营中体会到丰富的活动，以及在艺术上的收获和个性上的成长。

【点睛】[高分句型1] There were so many amazing activities that time just flied before I knew it. (so…that…引导结果状语从句、before引导时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] Not only did it open a new window of painting for me but also I overcame the shyness I’d always felt before when I met strangers. (not only置于句首引起部分倒装、关系代词引导限制性定语从句修饰shyness并被省略、when引导时间状语从句）
