Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the give

16、n word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Is Hothouse Earth Avoidable?Nearly 50 years ago, the Club of Romes report “Limits to Growth” warned that if economic growth continued fast without regard for the environment, the world could face ecological and economic collapse in

17、the twenty-first century. Yet that is essentially (21)_ has happened. As new research for the Club of Rome shows and the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states the world (22)_ well be headed towards disaster. Many wrongly (23)_(interpret) the “L

18、imits to Growth” as an attack on uncontrolled economic expansion. In fact, the report argued that (24)_ the unlimited-growth pathway was chosen, it would require complementary policies (including funding) (25)_ (preserve) the planets limited life-support systems. This argument (26)_ (ignore). Instea

19、d, the world has continued to pursue fast growth, without regard for the environmental consequences. This has enabled us to make enormous progress in reducing poverty, increasing longevity, and increasing wealth. (27)_ it has come at a high cost to the formation of the society and the restoration of

20、 the planet. As scientists have conclusively shown, in the last decade, we have entered a new geological era, the Anthropocene, in which human activity in particular, economic activity has been the dominant factor (28)_(influence) Earths climate and environment. In the Anthropocene, our planets life

21、-support system is changing faster than ever.Climate change now represents a clear and present danger. If our planet becomes just 2C warmer than pre-industrial temperatures, we may be placed irreversibly on the path toward “Hothouse Earth” a situation (29)_ temperatures are many degrees warmer than

23、creasingC. applicationsD. typingE. interpretingF. reflectedG. injectedH. transformingI. connectionsJ. remarkable K. superhumanThe Next Frontier: Using Thought to Control MachinesTechnologies are often billed as transformative. For William Kochevar, the term is justified. Mr Kochevar is paralysed bel

24、ow the shoulders after a cycling accident, yet has managed to feed himself by his own hand. This 31 progress is partly thanks to electrodes, implanted in his right arm, which stimulate muscles. But the real magic lies higher up. Mr Kochevar can control his arm using the power of thought. His intenti

25、on to move is 32 in neural(神经的) activity in his motor region; these signals are detected by implants in his brain and 33 into commands to activate the electrodes in his arms. An ability to decode thought in this way may sound like science fiction. But brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) like the BrainG

26、ate system used by Mr Kochevar provide evidence that mind-control can work. Researchers are able to tell what words and images people have heard and seen from neural activity alone. Information can also be encoded and used to stimulate the brain. Over 300, 000 people have cochlear(耳蜗的) implants, whi

27、ch help them to hear by 34 sound into electrical signals and sending them into the brain. Scientists have “ 35 ” data into monkeys heads, instructing them to perform actions via electrical pulses. As our Technology Quarterly in this issue explains, the pace of research into BCIs and the scale of its

28、 ambition are 36 . Both Americas armed forces and Silicon Valley are starting to focus on the brain. Facebook dreams of thought-to-text 37 . Kernel, a startup, has $100m to spend on neurotechnology. Elon Musk has formed a firm called Neuralink; he thinks that, if humanity is to survive the arrival o

29、f artificial intelligence, it needs an upgrade. Entrepreneurs imagine a world in which people can communicate using thoughts, with each other and with machines, or acquire 38 abilities, such as hearing at very high frequencies.These powers, if they ever materialise, are decades away. But well before

30、 then, BCIs could open the door to wonderful new 39 . Imagine stimulating the visual region to help the blind, making new neural 40 in stroke victims or monitoring the brain for signs of depression. By turning the firing of neurons into a resource to be used, BCIs may change the idea of what it mean

31、s to be human.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.How comfortable are you around water? Are you a strong swimmer or do you st

32、ruggle to keep your head above water? Are you comfortable venturing into the deeper water or do you prefer to move into shallow water where the bottom is 41 ?

36、se places represent appropriate “bodies of water” for you academically. The best 49 of comprehension regarding your preparedness to meet the academic requirements of various colleges and universities are your high school teachers. Because they are very familiar with your capabilities, your teachers

37、can offer 50 help in identifying the colleges where you will find the best academic programs for you. Assuming you are able to find appropriate environments academically, you then need to assess the 51 of your school reports for admission to those colleges. How does your academic record (grades and

38、test scores) pile up against those of other students who will be 52 , most (about 90%) of whom are just like you in that they can do the work too?You need to be honest in 53 this part of the picture, especially if you are considering colleges that can be highly selective and tend to admit very small

39、 percentages of the students who apply. A lot of students get in over their heads competitively when they fail to consider the real odds of gaining admission. While you might feel you are a 54 candidate at schools that can be very choosy, the reality is that you need to be in the top 25 percent of a

The bodies werent human. They were feline ancient cats that had

45、been mummified(木乃伊化的) and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. “Not one or two here and there”, reported English Illustrated Magazine, “but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep. ” Some of the linen-wrapped cats st

46、ill looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England. Those were the days of gener

47、ously funded explorationsthat dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was ge
