7、It was a very hot day in late Summer. I was a young dad working in a local wood mill. It was dangerous, back-breaking work that paid very little. In the year I worked there, only four other people hadnt quit and been replaced with new faces. Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no ot

8、her work to find to support our families.On this day all of us were covered in sweat and dust. When I looked around, every face I saw looked angry and frustrated. Suddenly, a voice called out, “Hey! Theres a deer in here.” A lost little female deer had wandered through the open loading bay doors and

9、 was now cowering(蜷縮) in between the huge stacks of wood. All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the fall but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year. Many will even buy 50 bags of

10、corn to help feed them during the harsh winter months. It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little creature. By blocking off all the other routes, we were able to guide her frantic search back to the open bay doors. We watched as she jumped out of th

11、e building and back into the woods. Then we walked back in to work. I noticed something, though. On every face there was a joyful smile. It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about.4. Why were few people willing to work in the wood mi

12、ll?A. They were dissatisfied with the pay and working conditions.B. They were tired of wood cutting and wanted more freedom.C. They wanted to move to big places to seek more pleasure.D. They disliked the treatment of the boss and animals around.5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. The deer ma

13、de the workers unable to work.B. The workers there wanted to kill the deer for meat.C. It was common for the workers to see a deer there.D. The deer was a ray of light to the dull workers there.6. How did the men free the deer in the end?A. They blocked all the routes except the proper ones.B. They

14、caught her and then sent her to the wide wild.C. They used signals to guide the deer out of the woods.D. They used foods to guide the deer out to the open doors.7. Which of the following can best describe the workers?A. Cruel and impatient.B. Hard-working and caring.C. Cautious and courageous.D. Bad

15、-tempered and demanding.CHaving a microchip implanted in a mans brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.Elon Musk a US tech tycoon, founder of Space X- has been working on this technology. On Aug. 28, Musk gave a display of the chip, which was implante

16、d into the head of a pig named Gertrude.The chip, developed by Musks company Neuralink, is the size of a coin. But dont let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes(電極) attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons(神經(jīng)元). It collects neural signals from an area

17、 of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers, according to MSN. That enabled researchers to monitor Gertrudes brain activity while she was walking around in the display.Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology

18、would solve a lot of brain injuries and is essential for Al symbiosis, which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence.When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility difficulties. Musk hopes this technology can also be used

19、 to help those with hearing and eyesight issues.Although such a device could repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pigs brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this numb

20、er is tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body.Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neur

21、ons seems overly optimistic. “There are many technological challenges. to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes,” Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily.8. What do we know about Elon Musks microchip?A. It wa

22、s inspired by sci-fi movie plots.B. It is able to collect wireless signals.C. It is tiny in size but powerful in function.D. It has been implanted into a humans brain,9. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The operation of the chip in Gertrudes brain.B. The attachment of

23、electrodes to flexible threads.C. The development of neurons inside Gertrudes brain.D. The transmission of signals from a nearby computer10. What is the major target of the microchip?A. To monitor animals brain activity.B. To help people with mobility issues.C. To develop a cure for immune system pr

24、oblems.D. To contribute to the research on Al technologies.11. How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain?A. Worried.B. Excited.C. Optimistic.D. Challenged.DOver 400 human footprints preserved in volcanic sediment(沉淀物) provide a sign of social life among ancient hunter

25、-gatherers. “The impressions, found in northern Tanzania, add up to Africas largest collection of ancient human footprints,” say evolutionary biologist Kevin Hatala of Chatham University in Pittsburgh and colleagues. People walked across a muddy layer of volcanic ashes dating to between 19,100 and 5

26、,760 years ago, the researchers reported on May 14 in Scientific Reports. Dating of a thin rock layer that partly overlaps(重疊) the sediment narrows the footprints age to about 12,000 to 10,000 years ago.Hatalas team analyzed footprint sizes, distances between prints and which way prints pointed. One

27、 collection of tracks was made by 17 people walking southwest. Comparisons with modern prints suggest that this group consisted of fourteen women, two men and one young boy. The women may have been searching for foods while a few males visited or accompanied them, the researchers infer. Some present

28、-day hunter-gatherers form lately female food-gathering groups.The study is “a nice piece of work”, although its hard to specify what people were doing, says geologist Matthew Bennett of Bournemouth University in Poole, England.Many more sets of footprint tracks would be needed to argue convincingly

29、 that hunter-gatherers at that time had female food-gathering groups, Bennett says. And it would still be unknown if the women were gathering plants or hunting prey. Other footprint sites present especially promising opportunities for studying ancient behavior, he says. He is involved in work in New

30、 Mexico that has uncovered tens of thousands of footprints of humans and other creatures from more than 10,000 years ago. Early results suggest that humans there hunted giant sloths(樹獺). Bennett expects those prints will yield more insights into Stone Age hunting.12. What does the underlined word “i

31、mpressions” in the first paragraph mean?A. Thoughts about people or things.B. Collections of volcanic ashes.C. Marks left by creatures or something.D. Behaviors of imitating someone.13. What do the newly-discovered footprints suggest?A. Ancient hunters were socially organized.B. Ancient male hunters

32、 were admired by females.C. Female food-gathering groups were obviously formed.D. Males played a more important role in finding food than females.14. What can we learn according to the last paragraph?A. The females gathered plants or hunted prey in the Stone Age.B. The footprint tracks have proved f

33、emale food-gathering groups existed.C. The footprint sites provide a good chance to further study ancient behaviorD. The footprints will hardly influence our understanding of Stone Age hunting.15. Whats the best title of the text?A. How Ancient Hunters Gathered FoodB. What Ancient Hunan Footprints W

Your personal journal can become a place to release anger, frustration, sadness an

35、d other negative emotions without hurting anyones feelings. It can also become a record of all your successes, good ideas, and happier moments. 16 Another bonus to keeping a diary or a journal is that you can gain insights about yourself by discovering patterns of behavior. Once you discover them yo

36、u can make efforts to replace problematic behavior with better choices. 17 Your mental well-being can improve as long as you update the diary and re-read it from time to time. 18 Dont leave it where people can find it, learn your inner thoughts, and decide to disobey, to argue with or to offend you.

37、 19 Verbal diaries are not as helpful as written versions. The brain processes information differently when we write and when we read. Speaking into a recorder and listening to it dont achieve the same effect when only one person is involved.Use the method that is most pleasant for you, and if you u

38、se the verbal recording option, do it with the thought of eventually changing over to written memories. Keep your diary or journal real, honest, and updated.
