was invented. Think of your grandparents’ lives before the television and the airplane were introduced. The change
will be just as great. It is 61 happening.
Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will 62 for drowning
people, for 63 carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients. Imagine devices that monitor a
baby’s breathing and track children as they go to and from school. Imagine machines 64 quiet signals

9.(23-24 高三·上海·期中)In Mumbai, there’s the ceaseless clamor of car homes as drivers edge through
traffic. There’s pounding and buzzing from the construction of office towers and apartment blocks. Drumbeats and
trumpet melodies spill out from weddings and countless festivals. And it’s all topped off by bellowing (大声吼叫
的 ) street vendors and garbage trucks blasting Bollywood songs. Living in Mumbai requires a huge 126
for noise.
When Sumaira Abdulali began campaigning against noise pollution in India’s financial capital two decades
ago, friends, acquaintances and even her lawyers insisted it was 127 . “People told me it’s foolish to even
try, because Indians love noise,” she says. “We’re a noisy country.”
But in 2003, Abdulali won a lawsuit seeking to 128 environmental rules that had allowed loud
music late into the night during a festival. 129 , the victory led to a ban on loudspeakers within 100 meters
of schools, hospitals, courts and places of worship. And she has since won more than a dozen other actions both on
her own and via the Awaaz Foundation (awaaz means “noise” in Hindi), which she launched in 2006.
The World Health Organization warns that noise is a top threat to human 130 , affecting not only
hearing but also sleep, brain development and cardiovascular health. Abdulali claims Mumbai is the world’s
131 city. A study led by Ritesh Vijay, an expert from India’s National Environmental Engineering Research
Institute, did find that noise levels in Mumbai and surrounding areas in 2020 dramatically exceed legal limits.
In recent years, the battle against noise has become increasingly 132 , with Abdulali often facing
powerful interests who consider it an inevitable byproduct of growth. With increasing 133 , ever more
people are exposed to continuous noise. In a rapidly expanding city such as Mumbai, with a population topping 12
million, demand for housing puts noise rules 134 development plans. Although sound barriers are required
for construction projects, they’re expensive, so developers 135 installing them.
Traffic is a tougher problem. Noise on the road can reach 110 decibels (分贝) — a level that can lead to
permanent hearing damage after just 15 minutes of exposure, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Luckily, 136 can help in the fight, Vijay says. He suggests devices that measure horn use,
which would let officials offer 137 drivers rewards like deductions (扣除 ) on car insurance. Dynamic
signaling, where sensors linked to stoplights detect traffic density, would improve vehicle flow and 138 the
urge to resort to horns, he says. Local government also 139 . Mumbai decreed (颁布 ) India’s first
“No-Honking” day in 2008, with police handing out booklets to raise awareness about traffic noise and imposing
fines up to 1,000 rupees ($12) on offending motorists.
Far more important is the longer-term impact of the day-to-day noise, so that’s where Vijay believes activists
should focus their energy. “In India we celebrate festivals with lots of noise,” he says. “But our 140 noise
itself is beyond the allowed limit.”

Late one autumn day at the local swimming pool in Ancenis, France, an 18-year-old named Jean LeRoy
came for his regular evening swim in the 25-metre pool.
When people are drowning, they don’t usually shout and 51 in the way it happens on
television. Most people drown quite 52 , with the person quickly sinking beneath the water. On the
evening, LeRoy was testing how far he could swim underwater 53 one breath. At some moment, as he
was doing this, he became unconscious. 54 he tried he couldn’t breathe. He sank to the bottom of the
pool. LeRoy was drowning.
Luckily for him, the swimming pool was 55 with an electronic surveillance system called
Poseidon. Although the human lifeguards had not noticed, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching
the whole thing. Poseidon has underwater cameras which 56 people as they swim. The cameras are
connected to a computer. It is 57 to recognize 58 a swimmer is not moving normally.
The lifeguards at the Ancenis pool were wearing a special device that 59 when the computer detected
a possible problem. Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed LeRoy’s body, the lifeguards had pulled him out of the
pool. He started breathing again. After one night in hospital, he was sent home completely 60 .
Poseidon had saved his life.
Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live. Think of your life before the answering machine
was invented. Think of your grandparents’ lives before the television and the airplane were introduced. The change
will be just as great. It is 61 happening.
Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will 62 for drowning
people, for 63 carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients. Imagine devices that monitor a
baby’s breathing and track children as they go to and from school. Imagine machines 64 quiet signals
to nearby computers, which will send information to your doctor, your lawyer, and the local police. As time passes,
more and more of our lives will be 65 by machines. They will know all about us.

9.(23-24 高三·上海·期中)In Mumbai, there’s the ceaseless clamor of car homes as drivers edge through
traffic. There’s pounding and buzzing from the construction of office towers and apartment blocks. Drumbeats and
trumpet melodies spill out from weddings and countless festivals. And it’s all topped off by bellowing (大声吼叫
的 ) street vendors and garbage trucks blasting Bollywood songs. Living in Mumbai requires a huge 126
for noise.
When Sumaira Abdulali began campaigning against noise pollution in India’s financial capital two decades
ago, friends, acquaintances and even her lawyers insisted it was 127 . “People told me it’s foolish to even
try, because Indians love noise,” she says. “We’re a noisy country.”
But in 2003, Abdulali won a lawsuit seeking to 128 environmental rules that had allowed loud
music late into the night during a festival. 129 , the victory led to a ban on loudspeakers within 100 meters
of schools, hospitals, courts and places of worship. And she has since won more than a dozen other actions both on
her own and via the Awaaz Foundation (awaaz means “noise” in Hindi), which she launched in 2006.
The World Health Organization warns that noise is a top threat to human 130 , affecting not only
hearing but also sleep, brain development and cardiovascular health. Abdulali claims Mumbai is the world’s
131 city. A study led by Ritesh Vijay, an expert from India’s National Environmental Engineering Research
Institute, did find that noise levels in Mumbai and surrounding areas in 2020 dramatically exceed legal limits.
In recent years, the battle against noise has become increasingly 132 , with Abdulali often facing
powerful interests who consider it an inevitable byproduct of growth. With increasing 133 , ever more
people are exposed to continuous noise. In a rapidly expanding city such as Mumbai, with a population topping 12
million, demand for housing puts noise rules 134 development plans. Although sound barriers are required
for construction projects, they’re expensive, so developers 135 installing them.
Traffic is a tougher problem. Noise on the road can reach 110 decibels (分贝) — a level that can lead to
permanent hearing damage after just 15 minutes of exposure, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Luckily, 136 can help in the fight, Vijay says. He suggests devices that measure horn use,
which would let officials offer 137 drivers rewards like deductions (扣除 ) on car insurance. Dynamic
signaling, where sensors linked to stoplights detect traffic density, would improve vehicle flow and 138 the
urge to resort to horns, he says. Local government also 139 . Mumbai decreed (颁布 ) India’s first
“No-Honking” day in 2008, with police handing out booklets to raise awareness about traffic noise and imposing
fines up to 1,000 rupees ($12) on offending motorists.
Far more important is the longer-term impact of the day-to-day noise, so that’s where Vijay believes activists
should focus their energy. “In India we celebrate festivals with lots of noise,” he says. “But our 140 noise
itself is beyond the allowed limit.”

(23-24 高三·上海·阶段练习)A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your Memory
As we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed 1 for many of us; however, according to
neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not 2 .
Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said. Here are some of Dr. Restak’s tips for developing and
3 a healthy memory.Pay more attention.
Some memory lapses are actually attention problems, not memory problems. 4 , if you’ve
forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you were talking with several
people at the time.
One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to 5 the word. Having a picture
associated with the word, Restak said, can improve 6 . Find regular everyday memory challenges.
There are many memory exercises that you can 7 into everyday life. Dr. Restak suggested
composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t 8 pull out your list (or
your phone) — instead, pick up everything according to your memory.
Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to 9 through the streets from
memory. A small 2020 study suggested that people who used GPS more frequently over time showed a steeper
cognitive 10 in spatial memory three years later.Play games.
Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions — in which a group thinks of a person, place
or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. Because to succeed, he
said, the questioner must hold all of the 11 answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer.
The point is to 12 your working memory, “maintaining information and moving it around in your
mind,” Restak wrote.Read more novels.
One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is 13 fiction. “People, when they
begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction,” he said. Fiction requires active
engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end. 14 technology.
Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it,” Dr. Restak said, which can 15
our own mental abilities. The second way our relationship with technology is harmful to memory is because it often
takes our focus away from the task at hand.

(2024·上海 ·模拟预测)Virtual reality is considered as having the potential to transform how doctors
diagnose and treat a number of mental illnesses, and the front lines of this revolution may be forming in China. Its
market is wide open for 16 and developers have an opportunity to leapfrog past traditional care
models and make China an early adopter of VR psychiatry (精神病治疗) on a large scale.
VR psychiatric applications include immersing patients in simulations that seem real, exposing their
brain—but not their body—to 17 situations and helping them learn to train their physical and
emotional responses. 18 , an alcohol-addicted patient can sit at a virtual bar without drinking, and a
person too anxious to fly can 19 takeoff and landing while staying firmly on the ground. Such
treatments can yield fast, dramatic results: in one case a woman calculating heights could calmly ride an escalator
after a three-hour course of VR 20 therapy.
Researchers around the world have been 21 these technologies—with promising results. Through
the end of 2016, peer-reviewed journals had published nearly 300 studies on using VR to treat mental health
disorders. And then this March, JAMA Psychiatry published what researchers say is the first ever randomized
controlled trial of a therapist-free VR 22 of acrophobia, or fear of heights. It found the technology to
be 23 , inexpensive and well-received by patients.
In China, treatment rates of mental disorders are low, which is partially linked to a shortage of trained
professionals. World Health Organization data show China’s concentration of psychiatrists is four times lower than
the global average, with only 2.2 per 100,000 people (the U.S. rate is 10.5). Another reason for low treatment rates
is 24 . While similar biases exist in many countries, studies have shown people with psychiatric
problems endure especially high levels of 25 in China.
Many supporters of mental health VR think it can help 26 both caregiver shortages and
shame. Because the technology can be fully automated, it can easily scale to meet the needs of many people. And
many think VR treatments could break through cultural barriers because they can take place in a 27
place via a gamelike interface(界面), such as at home.
Despite the enthusiasm, however, experts warn that technology is no panacea(灵丹妙药). “VR can only be
one part of mental health care and not the whole system,” one expert says. Even some of the technology’s strongest
supporters 28 that important safety and ethical guidelines are still lacking.
Still, with overwhelming demand for services and distrust of traditional care, 29 health is
booming in China. In psychiatry in particular, there is a relatively blank canvas for technological innovation—and
VR is poised to fill a big chunk of that void(真空). If it does so, China could make significant strides to 30
its treatment gap. It might even provide a model for other countries with shortages in their mental health care
systems.

requiring people to recycle materials. 88 , this is not enough to solve (解决) our problem.
Maybe there is another way out. We need to repair our possessions 89 throwing them away. We
also need to rethink our attitudes about 90 . Repairing our possessions and changing our spending habits
may be the best way to reduce the amount of rubbish and take care of our environment.

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 21 , in number. Human beings
are born with this ability. 22 , experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds
have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 23 However, if you
remove two, the bird 24 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 25 between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 26 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of
a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 27
until the man left the tower. The man had an 28 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left
and the other stayed, but they did not 29 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The
experiment was 30 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all
the men were 31 . It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 32
able to fool the crow.
How good is a human's number sense It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old
almost always notice if something is taken away from a 33 group. But when the number goes beyond three
or four, the children are 34 fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our
human 35 is not much better than a crow's.

Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and
offices mean that very 36 things are handwritten. All too often, people buy a pen based only on 37 ,
and wonder why they are not satisfied 38 they begin to use it. However, buying a pen that you’ll enjoy is not
39 if you keep the following in mind.
First of all, a pen should fit comfortably in your hand and be 40 to use. The thickness of the pen is the
most important characteristic (特征) 41 comfort. Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may
comfortable with a thin pen. If you have a 42 hand and thicker fingers you may 43 a fatter pen. The
length of a pen can 44 influence comfort. A pen that is too 45 can easily feeltop heavy and
unstable.
Then, the writing point of the pen should 46 the ink to flow evenly(均匀的) while that pen remains in
touch with the paper. 47 will make it possibly for you to create a 48 line of writing. The point
should also be sensitive enough to 49 ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not
block the 50 may leave drops of ink, 51 you pick the pen up and put it down again.
52 , the pen should make a thick, dark line. Fine line pens may 53 bad handwriting, but
fine, delicate lines do not command 54 next to printed text, as, 55 , a signature on a printed
letter. A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority (权威)。

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students
must 1 sixty hours of service learning, 2 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is
academic learning that also helps the community. 3 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river,
working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 4 a service experience, students must keep a journal and
then write a 5 about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 6 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are
forced to think 7 their own interests and become 8 of the needs of others. Students are also able to
learn real-life skills that 9 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 10
students can explore possible careers 11 service learning. For example, if a student wonders what
teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.
12 there are many benefits, opponents 13 problems with the new requirement. First, they
14 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is
time-consuming, students spend 15 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing
students to work without 16 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an
individual’s freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 17 to the community, learn new skills, and explore
different careers. 18 , I don’t believe you should force people to help others — the 19 to help
must come from the heart. I think the best 20 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able
to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and
responsibility and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
