The system may bring us a step closer to ____61____ speech to people who have lost the ability because of paralysis.Joseph Makin at the University of California, San Francisco, and his colleagues used deep learning algorithms to study the brain ____62____ of four women as they spoke. The women, who all have epilepsy, already had electrodes attached to their brains to ____63____ seizures. Each woman was asked to read aloud from a set of sentences as the team measured brain activity. The largest groupof sentences ____64____ 250 unique words.The team fed this brain activity to a neural network algorithm, training it to identify regularly ____65____ patterns that could be linked to repeated aspects of speech, such as vowels or consonants. These patterns were then fed to a second neural network, which tried to turn them into words to ____66____ a sentence.Each woman repeated the sentences at least twice, and the final repetition didn’t form part of the training data, ____67____ the researchers to test the system. Each time a person speaks the same sentence, the brain activity associated will be similar but not identical. “M emorising the brain activity of the these sentences wouldn’t help, so the network instead has to learn what’s similar about them so that it can generalise to this final example,” says Makin. Across the four women, the AI’s best ____68____ was an average translation error rate of 3 percent.Makin says that using a small number of sentences made it easier for the AI to learn which words tend to follow others. For example, the AI was able to decode that the word “Turner” was always likely to follow the word “Tina” in this set of sentences, from brain ____69____ alone.The team tried decoding the brain signal data into _____70_____ words at time, rather than whole sentences, but this increased the error rate to 38 per cent even for the best performance. “So the network clearly is learning facts about which words go together, and not just which neural activity _____71_____ to which words,” says Makin. This will make it hard to _____72_____ the system to a larger vocabulary because each new word increases the number of possible sentences, reducing _____73_____.Making says 250 words could still be useful for people who can’t talk. “We want to deploy this in a patient with an actual speech disability,” he says, although it is possible their brain activity may be different from that of the women in this study, making this more _____74_____.Sophie Scott at University College London says we are a long way from being able to translate brain signal data comprehensively. “You probably know around 250, 000 words, so it’s st ill an incredibly _____75_____ set of speech that they’re using,” she says.61.A.inspecting B.restoring C.admiring D.inspiring 62.A.emotion B.attractiveness C.awareness D.signals 63.A.monitor B.master C.control D.expect 64.A.concluded B.excluded C.contained D.increased 65.A.extended B.occurring C.ignored D.concerned 66.A.form B.handle C.hand D.force67.A.issuing B.producing C.allowing D.acquiring 68.A.behavior B.comment C.preparation D.performance 69.A.possibility B.activity C.capacity D.responsibility 70.A.individual B.financial C.social D.technical 71.A.serves B.finishes C.maps D.competes 72.A.switch up B.put up C.rise up D.scale up 73.A.privacy B.accuracy C.currency D.fluency 74.A.critical B.specific C.proper D.difficult 75.A.committed B.oppressed C.restricted D.dominated(2022·上海交大附中高三开学考试)America’s eating habits have changed radically over the past 40 years. We consume more and more food of less and less nutritional value. The nation’sadult obesity rate is now 42.4%.Why have our habits changed? Part of the reason is demographic (人口学的). When women moved into the workplace, ____76____, there was less time at home to devote to cooking. The result has been more eating out or store-bought prepared meals. ____77____ has played a role, too: The microwaveoven ____78____ an industry of highly processed fools larded with fats and oils.In Hooked, Michael Moss, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, raises a question —What if the foods we’re swallowing have been designed and marked to become addictive? While presenting his case, Mr. Moss offers an appealing tour of America’s food ____79____, taking side trips into biology and psychology and, not least, into the world of food compounds.Mr. Moss begins with the science of addition. The definition of addiction he likes best —“a repetitive behavior that some people find difficult to quit”—comes from a one-time chief executive of Philip Morris.As for the ____80____ that affects our food choices, Mr. Moss notes that, while it takes l0 seconds for the brain to feel the effects of cigarettes, sugar’s effects are felt 20 times faster —and salt and fat don’t take much longer than that. The difference ____81____ nicotine (尼古丁) needing to enter the bloodstream to reach the brain, while sugar and salt take a ____82____ through the taste buds (味蕾). But the tongue is ____83____ by the nose when it comes to driving our eating decisions. While there are 10,000 taste buds, there are 10 million olfactory receptors (嗅觉受体), and they can detect hundreds of scents. “Flavor is the combination of taste and smell,” writes Mr. Moss, “and the lion’s share of the ____84____ in this goes to smell.”Or all the substances that can get us hooked, Mr. Moss says, “nothing is faster than food when it comes to _____85_____ the brain chemistry. Certain kinds of food, that is.” The consumption of the highly processed and sweetened concoctions (调制品) that dominate the American diet: cereals, sodas, fruit juices, cookies, packaged meats, as well as salad dressing and pasta saucesd elivers intense and immediate pleasure and creates a need that fits Mr. Moss’s broad definition of addiction.Why are we only now seeing the harmful effects of the food-induced brain chemistry? Mr. Moss summarizes the thinking of one of the scientists bep rofiles: “We simply haven’t had the _____86_____ we would need, in relation to evolution, to catch up with the dramatic changes in food production and our eating habits of the past forty years.”One major theme of “Hooked” is that the food industry exploit sthis _____87_____—even creates it. Mr. Moss argues that the industry’s growth has been enabled by its “manipulation of our _____88_____ desires,” not least through marketing and sales strategies. He describes companies super-sizing their products (such as the “Double Stuf” Oreo) and creating packaging that can remain _____89_____ (thus easing consumption while, say, driving). One byproduct of these strategies, observes Mr. Moss, is that snacks — often processed products with high convenience but low nutritional value — now account for about 25% of daily calorie consumption. Social norms have adjusted themselves _____90_____: It has become “socially acceptable to eat anything, anywhere, anytime,” Mr. Moss writes.76.A.for instance B.after all C.vice versa D.in addition77.A.Marketing B.Service C.Technology D.Efficiency78.A.made up for B.cast light on C.gave birth to D.went in for79.A.industry B.landscape C.market D.production 80.A.biology B.psychology C.mindset D.mentality81.A.hides from B.stems from C.shifts from D.emerges from82.A.shortcut B.bow C.twist D.chance 83.A.compared B.paralleled C.leveled D.overtaken 84.A.decision B.route C.credit D.benefit85.A.checking out B.stirring up C.paying off D.responding to86.A.temper B.limit C.gap D.time87.A.mismatch B.consumption C.rate D.pride 88.A.intellectual B.rebellious C.instinctual D.conditional 89.A.distinctive B.stylish C.upright D.appetizing90.A.positively B.progressively C.unexpectedly D.accordi ngly(2022·浙江·舟山南海实验高中高三开学考试)I was so blessed for all the special moments I had with my mother.

完形填空Saddleworth Moor in the north of England is a deserted place. Though lying just a few miles from the city of Manchester, it feels remote. There is generally a strong wind blowing across the moor! It seemed almost ___1___to me, then, that anyone should be against the building of seven wind turbines (风力发电机)to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them---basically dull, unattractive to tourists and--- ___2___---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another ___3___in an increasingly confusing debate over wind farming and the future of the planet.Typical of this ___4___ is hearing Professor David Bellamy leading the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist and had made the___5___ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, ___6___, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist whose main aim is to preserve natural space for plants and animals from destruction, rather than a campaigner on climate change.Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued that the wind farms are in fact ___7___, and are only commercially feasible because they are so heavily subsidized (补贴). This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently, who have then gone on to___8___ the virtues of nuclear power. This is in the face of years of protests from greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and ___9___. And yet nuclear energy has recently been ___10___ by a leading green scientist, Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the first to draw attention to the problems of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.But of course, it is ___11___to imagine that the good people of Saddleworth would prefer to see a nuclear power station on their doorstep rather than seven wind turbines. On average it takes six years to get planning permission for nuclear plants because of the inevitable protest. So what's the ___12___?Bellamy suggests reducing ___13___of fossil fuels if people want to control greenhouse gases. Certainly, he has much support for this from environmentalists. However, just a few years ago, the government was forced to ___14___ increases in taxes on petrol (汽油)because of a huge public outcry which saw the country almost brought to a stop. And at the heart of those protestswere those who said they ___15___ their cars and were being fairly punished by high fuel taxes. These same people reject wind farms because they see the turbines as something that spoils the countryside.1.A.clear B.odd C.important D.satisfactory 2.A.at last B.in other words C.above all D.as a matter of fact 3.A.battleground B.phenomenon C.experience D.dominance 4.A.energy B.production C.tourism D.confusion 5.A.basic B.widespread C.false D.realistic 6.A.on average B.on reflection C.in particular D.in detail 7.A.necessary B.outdated C.uneconomic D.public 8.A.forget B.question C.develop D.praise 9.A.clean B.safe C.irresistible D.dangerous 10.A.doubted B.advocated C.proved D.ignored 11.A.depressing B.possible C.difficult D.adequate 12.A.answer B.matter C.point D.cause 13.A.waste B.consumption C.price D.recycling 14.A.end B.mark C.consider D.sustain 15.A.relied on B.gave up C.made for D.picked out When it comes to anxiety over online data privacy, the first and most common legal solution comes to mind: more transparency. If firms are required to tell people what information they collect, and do so in a simple and obvious manner, people would be able to _____16_____ doing business with those that adopt abusive privacy practices.There is one _____17_____ with the transparency solution. There is no evidence that it works! (And there are mountains of evidence that it fails.) Even when the information people are asked to share is highly private and _____18_____, and even if the notices about the ways firms collect, use and share this information are delivered in the simplest and most concise manner, people still don’t read the notices and don’t change their _____19_____. A recent experiment tried to deliver the privacy notices to users in the format of a simple “nutrition facts” box, to no avail. The notice still went _____20_____ and people shared the same amount of sensitive personal information as they do when the notices are long and cluttered.If simple notices are not read or used by people, the hopes for _____21_____ choice flee. Users are not going to _____22_____ Google’s personalized ads or to personalize the Facebook’s privacy setting. These consumers might comparison-shop among services based on various quality and service measures, but not on the basis of _____23_____ features.It is also important to dispel a second perceived solution to privacy _____24_____: lawsuits. There are numerous class action lawsuits percolating in courts, alleging violations by websites of privacy statutes. Google,______25______, has long been defending against the complaints that its Gmail service, which scans the text of its users’ emails, is a violation of the Wiretap Act (窃听法). Many of these lawsuits eventually fail because they cannot prove a ______26______ injury. But even the few that succeed are not going to change the behavior of firms. They will only teach firms to write more ______27______ privacy notices and require more frequent clicks “I Agree” from users.A third legal solution fueled by privacy anxiety is the “right to be forgotten”. It gives users the right to request search engines to ______28______ links to personal information that are no longer accurate or relevant. Viewed by its ______29______ as a major landmark in privacy protection, the right to be forgotten mandate is ultimately proving to be a storm in a tea cup. In one year, Google reported to have received only 218,000 requests (or which it granted about half). Only a minor number of users are ______30______ sensitive to privacy issues to exercise the cherished right.16.A.avoid B.advise C.favor D.admit 17.A.proof B.problem C.possibility D.purpose 18.A.detailed B.sensitive C.adequate D.effective 19.A.mind B.decision C.behavior D.direction 20.A.invalid B.wrong C.round D.unread 21.A.preferred B.accepted C.informed D.obliged 22.A.opt out of B.make up for C.look forward to D.put up with 23.A.privacy B.advertising C.designer D.specific 24.A.policies B.protection C.risks D.terms25.A.by contrast B.in particular C.on average D.for example 26.A.severe B.fatal C.concrete D.external27.A.informal B.comprehensive C.informative D.unavailable 28.A.start B.attach C.remove D.build 29.A.initials B.advocates C.appeals D.motivates 30.A.sufficiently B.extremely C.comparatively D.appropriately Artificial intelligence (AI) has amazing potential to change the world, and we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. As AI matures and people move further away from distinct programming and monitoring of systems, unidentified bias (偏见) might make decisions continue for a long time that cause ___31___ harm for individuals and society. This bias might ___32___ input data or even the algorithms (算法) themselves.All too often, data sets are incomplete and the sample represented in the data set does not___33___the population that the AI model is making predictions about—this is known as coverage bias. Some other types of bias related to input data include sampling bias, where data is not collected randomly from the target group, and participation bias, where users from certain groups ___34___ surveys at different rates than users from other groups. Still, another more challenging bias to identify is confirmation bias that occurs when a decision maker or analyst has a strong ___35___ belief or experience that affects their ability to consider alternatives. This could lead one to more strongly ___36___ data that confirms a preexisting belief.Bias resulting from AI algorithms themselves, or algorithmic bias, is equally ___37___. One example of algorithmic bias is implicit bias or unconscious bias, where data scientists ___38___ make associations or assumptions based on their mental models and memories that affect data modeling decisions. Implicit bias can ___39___ how data is collected and classified, or how systems are designed and developed. As machines learn, their conclusions and decisions affect people. Ethical (道德的) AI must understand these impacts and create governance and testing methods to ___40___ mistakes and inaccuracies.To create ethical AI, companies need to put the ___41___ of the individual at the center of data innovation. This means thinking about ___42___ rights as human rights and developing a comprehensive approach to data, including how we use AI.Having ___43___ data practices for AI means having good AI governance. This governance not only focuses on data and analytics but also understands the impacts of any given analysis and makes sure it’s ___44___ and accurate. Good AI governance includes data responsibility as wellas a commitment to transparency (透明性).None of this will be easy, but true innovation never is. By coming together and working on the problem of bias now, before it becomes a(n) ___45___ force, businesses can help bring out the best AI has to offer the world.31.A.theoretical B.psychological C.disproportionate D.unintended 32.A.arise from B.contribute to C.take over D.make up 33.A.inspire B.match C.protect D.restrict 34.A.quit B.administer C.compare D.analyze 35.A.distinct B.predictable C.original D.widespread 36.A.restore B.imply C.miss D.favor 37.A.embarrassing B.dangerous C.relevant D.ridiculous 38.A.intentionally B.temporarily C.automatically D.appropriately 39.A.influence B.help C.attract D.predict 40.A.admit B.define C.address D.publicize 41.A.belongings B.expressions C.characteristics D.needs 42.A.civil B.digital C.legal D.natural 43.A.frequent B.responsible C.peculiar D.graceful 44.A.fair B.quick C.appealing D.adequate 45.A.leading B.innovative C.cultural D.destructive There aren’t enough resources to identify and cure the factors that are causing populations of animals around the world to decline. Artificial intelligence might have the power to change that.When an endangered seabird hits a power line, it ____46____ “very much like the laser noise from Star Wars,” says preservation biologist Marc Travers. He should know, as his team from the Endangered Seabird Recovery Project recorded thousands of hours of audio to determine if power lines ____47____ local seabirds. Travers was trying to establish how ____48____ birds were killed by power lines on the island of Kauai in Hawaii in 2011.His team recorded 600 hours of audio and sent the recordings to Preservation Metrics, a company that assists preservation efforts with AI ____49____. Preservation Metrics used a program to “listen” to the recordings and check off the sounds that signified bird electrocutions (电击). The result was ____50____, as the number of bird electrocutions was in the thousands.____51____ proof that power lines were killing a significant number of birds, the team worked with the local utility (公共设施) service to reduce bird deaths.In science fiction stories such as The Matrix, AI-powered machines take over the world and end life on the planet as we know it. But ____52____, programs that use AI to sort through mountains of data might just save some species from disappearing permanently.By many ____53____, humans have been poor keepers of the planet. Humans have altered as much as 97 percent of land ecosystems. Key populations of monitored animals have declined as much as 68 percent since 1970. The decline in ____54____ around the world has created a miserable situation. Preservation efforts ____55____ key resources they need to be effective.Humans, ____56____, fortunately have AI-based tools that can help now. AI can quickly and accurately sort through large amounts of data created by observations in the field. Then other programs such as PAWS (Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security) can help analyse the data and suggest the most effective ways to focus preservation efforts.In large national parks and wildlife reserves, ____57____ hunters are a danger for animals both big and small. Some animals are worth a lot of money on the black market. Park keepers are left with a(n) ____58____ task because there is too much land to cover. But the PAWS programme allows park keepers to focus their efforts. PAWS has even ____59____ the existence of trap lines in areas not yet watched by park keepers!We still face many challenges to ____60____ the loss of wildlife, but AI-powered programs promise to be a powerful preservation tool.46.A.makes a sound B.catches fire C.keeps the distance D.takes chances 47.A.affected B.preserved C.recorded D.attracted 48.A.unlawfully B.instantly C.frequently D.deliberately 49.A.fiction B.significance C.factors D.resources 50.A.deceiving B.doubtful C.desirable D.disturbing 51.A.Engaged in B.Qualified for C.Armed with D.Exposed to 52.A.in addition B.in reality C.in return D.in fact 53.A.measures B.programs C.services D.species 54.A.biodiversity B.production C.population D.economy 55.A.distribute B.pool C.lack D.exploit56.A.meanwhile B.however C.otherwise D.besides 57.A.big-game B.professional C.local D.illegal 58.A.impossible B.dangerous C.urgent D.thankless 59.A.disproved B.explained C.predicted D.ignored 60.A.estimate B.reverse C.experience D.sustain It was thought that Microbes (细菌) in sediments — solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid beneath the seafloor died above 80°C, but scientists have found some that can survive up to 120°C and possibly higher temperatures. The discovery shows that life in seafloor sediments can survive higher temperatures than previously thought.“I would think that wherever there’s energy that can be exploited by microorganisms,____61____ find(s) a way.” says Tina Treude at the University of California, Los Angeles. It is possible that there is life at even higher temperatures. “The only way to find out is to go back and ____62____ deeper,” she says, though in lab experiments so far, no microbes have been found to grow above 122°C.The researchers were also able to ____63____ out and count cells using a special device. Together, the findings show that relatively few cells survive at these temperatures, but those that do have very high metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates. “It was astonishingly high,” says Treude.This surprised the team because it is the ____64____ of what has been found in shallower sediments, where it is much colder. Microbes are ____65____ there, but their metabolisms are extremely slow and individual microbes might live for millions of years. At 120°C, the heat is doing a lot of damage to cells, so microbes may need high metabolisms to generate enough energy to repair this damage. It is a(n) ____66____ to stay alive, says Treude.It isn’t clear what these heat-loving, or thermophilic, microbes are, as the team was unable to ____67____ their DNA.Nor is it clear how they came to be in the sediments, given that this would have been a very cold environment for a long time after the sediments that the samples came from were first ____68____.However, a few thermophilic microbes would have been present when the sediments were deposited, and they may have somehow ____69____ until temperatures began to rise due to being _____70_____ under more material, says team member Felix Beulig at Aarhus University inDenmark.As the temperatures rose, all the microbes that weren’t _____71_____ of heat would gradually have died off, says team member Florian Schubert at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. “The microbes that cannot _____72_____, they just die,” he says.Patrick Forterre at the Pasteur Institute in Paris says that while there are _____73_____ results showing microbe growth at 106°C, nobody has been able to exactly copy the two lab studies claiming growth at 122°C.“It’s very difficult to _____74_____ the upper temperature limit,” he says.He is therefore _____75_____ of the idea of microbes living normally at 120°C, but he does think it is possible that they could somehow survive and became active again at lower temperatures. 61.A.life B.energy C.bacteria D.voyage 62.A.think B.research C.practise D.drill 63.A.spread B.figure C.separate D.reach 64.A.opposite B.evidence C.coincidence D.resemblance 65.A.moderate B.existent C.swift D.plentiful 66.A.game B.approach C.race D.solution 67.A.explode B.identify C.locate D.attack 68.A.formed B.deposited C.tagged D.covered 69.A.stuck on B.moved away C.died off D.run out 70.A.exposed B.removed C.buried D.washed 71.A.tolerant B.afraid C.tired D.careful 72.A.translate B.adapt C.escape D.furnish 73.A.various B.false C.reliable D.different 74.A.pass B.break C.outstep D.determine 75.A.capable B.doubtful C.sick D.Ignorant参考答案:1.B2.C3.A4.D5.C6.B7.C8.D9.D10.B11.A12.C13.B14.A15.A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

完形填空15The young couple had another quarrel. They were sitting silently when the landlady came in and asked, “You don’t 31 the house any more?” He kept silent and she 32 shook her head.The landlady began 33 the house. After looking around, the landlady screamed, “See how you have 34 my house? The walls are full of nails! How could I rent it to others?”She began looking around her 35 room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply 36 to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to yo u for 37 you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”This tiny room has two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her bag and the other 38 . At that time, she threw all her stuff such as her bag and umbrella on the 39 once she entered the room, staring at the whole 40 and feeling terribly upset. Then he began 41 more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which 42 his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to 43 their wedding photo frame.The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were 44 , the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were 45 nonstop through these holes.She 46 to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house 47 we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.She 48 realized that marriage was like a wall and that all 49 an d “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall. 50 , when they were removed, only a wall with holes would remain. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable.1.A. like B. clean C. rent D. keep2.A. simply B. barely C. coldly D. proudly3.A. observing B. examining C. watching D. spotting4.A. shared B. ruined C. kept D. decorated5.A. familiar B. dirty C. empty D. bright6.A. devoted B. attached C. optimistic D. guilty 7.A. leaving B. having C. asking D.getting8.A. clothes B. pictures C. umbrellas D.hats9.A. floor B. wall C. ceiling D.door10.A. trouble B. mess C. confusion D.order11.A. putting B. striking C. drivingD. beating12.A. hung B. fastened C. dropped D. swung13.A. connect B. fix C. hang D. put14.A. replaced B. separated C. unfastened D.removed15.A. crying B. aching C. bleeding D.disturbing16.A. jumped B. held C. stuck D. got17.A. if B. unless C. as D. until18.A. especially B. eventually C. fortunately D.sadly19.A. chaos B. troubles C. quarrels D.challenges20.
