“We didn’t intend to be farmers,” Bob Paton says. In their 50s, he and his wife, Ann, envisioned “one more move”. They lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a checklist for their dream house: “Northumberland, stone-built, a bit of character and a reasonable garden,” Bob says.
The place they found ticked every box but one. Instead of a reasonable garden, it had six acres. As they walked the grounds, Bob turned to Ann and decided they could turn this into a small farm. Eleven days before his 60th birthday, he retired as a managing director with the IT company Accenture. Ann, 63, had already sold her grocery. Together they began to farm.
The next two years were a struggle. The four fields were badly fenced and waterlogged. The soil was poor. Growing vegetables was not a common thing to do in this cold, wet and windy area of Northumberland. They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up. As the son of a coal miner, Bob grew up in Ashington, 15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment (小块菜园). “Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things. My dad used to dig up potatoes. They melted in your mouth — the freshness! The memory stayed with me. But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something.” Bob recalled.
Now one field is home to a two-acre orchard. Two others house polytunnels, herbs and 50 varieties of vegetable. The fourth belongs to their Tamworth pigs. As Hexhamshire Organics, they sell 100 organic vegetable boxes a week, and supply Northumberland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant. “I used to say I retired, but now I say I had a career change,” Bob says. They have never worked so hard. “It’s usually the light that stops us,” Ann mentions. She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business, while Bob is the planner. Plan tomorrow today. Plan next week this week. Plan next month this month. His spreadsheet logs “every single vegetable”, from sowing to harvest, and calculates output to the square foot.
4. What does the underlined sentence in para.2 probably mean
A. Only one box was not ticked yet.
B. All about the place is not satisfying.
C. Bob fell in love with the place at first sight.
D. It’s impossible to turn the place into a reasonable garden.
5. What probably made Bob work hard on the farm despite struggles
A. The joy of harvest B. The freshness of potatoes
C. The support of his wife D. The retirement from work
6. Which of the following can best describe Bob Paton
A. Helpful and careful B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Determined and diligent D. Hard working and generous
7. In which section of a magazine can you find the text
A. Agriculture B. Career C. Education D. Lifestyle
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述的是鲍勃·佩顿与妻子一起种植并销售蔬果的退休生活。
【4题详解】
句意猜测题。划线句子的前文“They lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a checklist for their dream house: ‘Northumberland, stone-built, a bit of character and a reasonable garden,’ Bob says.”(他们住在泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔,他们对理想房子的要求是:“位于诺森伯兰郡,石砌的,有些特色,有个还不错的花园。”鲍勃称。)讲述的是鲍勃对理想房子的要求,而根据划线句子的后一句“Instead of a reasonable garden, it had six acres.”(它有六英亩,并不适合当花园。)可知,他们住的房子有一点没有符合理想要求,即没有合适的花园,由此推知划线句子的意思是,他们对找到的住的这个地方并不完全满意。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。第三段的“They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up. As the son of a coal miner, Bob grew up in Ashington, 15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment (小块菜园). ‘Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things. My dad used to dig up potatoes. They melted in your mouth — the freshness! The memory stayed with me. But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something.’ Bob recalled.”(他们挖出了数千块石头,这活儿十分累人,但他们不放弃。作为一名煤矿工人的儿子,鲍勃在纽卡斯尔以北15英里的阿辛顿长大,帮助父亲打理小菜园。“采矿社区礼拜天的午餐是一件大事。我爸爸过去常常挖土豆。土豆在你嘴里融化——新鲜!记忆留在我的脑海中。但我认为这是一种努力有所成就的感觉。”鲍勃回忆道。)中鲍勃提到收获土豆后尝到土豆的美味,以及认为这是努力有所成就的感觉,由此可知,尽管在这个农场工作遇到了难题,但鲍勃却仍旧努力工作,可能是因为怀有收获的喜悦。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up.”(他们挖出了数千块石头,这活儿十分累人,但他们不放弃。)鲍勃面对如此劳累的工作却永不放弃,可以看出他的坚定,即C项的“Determined”;根据最后一段的第六句“They have never worked so hard.”(他们从没有这么努力工作过。)可知,鲍勃现在十分努力,辛勤工作,即C项的“diligent”。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文,尤其是最后一段的“She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business, while Bob is the planner. Plan tomorrow today. Plan next week this week. Plan next month this month. His spreadsheet logs ‘every single vegetable’, from sowing to harvest, and calculates output to the square foot.”(她将餐饮和零售业作为自己的职业,而鲍勃则是规划师。今天计划明天。本周计划下周。本月计划下个月。他的电子表格记录了“每一种蔬菜”,从播种到收获,并计算出每平方英尺的产量。)可知,文章讲的是鲍勃·佩顿与妻子一起种植并销售蔬果的退休生活,由此推知,从杂志的生活方式版块能够找到这篇文章。故选D项。
C
Having a microchip implanted in a man’s brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla — has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a livestream demonstration of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude.
The chip, developed by Musk’s company, is the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes (电极) attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons (神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers. In the livestream, Gertrude could be seen walking around her pen sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology “would solve a lot of brain injuries”, which allows the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence, Musk said.
When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility(移动的) issues, such as those suffering from paralysis. Musk hopes this technology could also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy (癫痫).
Although such a device could, in principle, 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 pig’s brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number 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 neurons 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 Musk’s microchip according to the first three paragraphs
A. It is able to collect wireless signals.
B. It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
C. It has no more than 1,000 electrodes.
D. It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
9. What is the major goal of the microchip in human applications
A. To develop a cure for epilepsy.
B. To monitor animals’ brain activity.
C. To help people with difficulty in moving freely.
D. To contribute to the research in AI technologies.
10. What do paragraphs 6-7 mainly talk about
A. Potential problems in applying the chip to humans.
B. Key differences between pigs’ and humans’ brains.
C. The amount of time and money implanting the chip could cost.
D. How the immune system is the major obstacle to the implant.
11. How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain
A. Excited. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Worried.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将微芯片植入人的大脑听起来很科幻,但埃隆·马斯克的公司已经开始实施这样的实验了。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“The chip, developed by Musk’s company, is the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes (电极) attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons (神经元).”(这个由马斯克公司开发的芯片只有硬币大小。但别让它的尺寸愚弄了你。这个微型芯片有3000多个电极连接在柔性线上,可以监测大约1000个神经元。)可知,芯片虽小,但功能强大,可以监测大约1000个神经元。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段中的“When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility(移动的) issues, such as those suffering from paralysis.”(当这种装置能够应用于人类时,它的主要目标将是帮助那些行动不便的人,比如那些瘫痪的人)可知,芯片在人类应用中的主要目标是帮助行动不便的人。故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由第六段中的“Although such a device could, in principle, repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake.”(虽然这种装置原则上可以修复这些问题,但将其付诸实践绝非易事。)和第七段“Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body.”(此外,将芯片植入大脑也有潜在的危险。免疫系统有攻击这个异物的危险)可知,芯片运用于大脑绝非易事,对大脑有风险,可得出第六七段主要讲将芯片应用于人类可能存在的问题。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的““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.”(中国科技大学副教授袁兰峰在接受《中国日报》采访时说:“还有许多技术挑战需要克服,才能使Neuralink的设备达到预期目的。”。)可知,袁兰峰认为在Neuralink的设备达到预期目之前,需要克服许多技术挑战,可得出对将芯片植入人脑一事,袁兰峰很谨慎。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中两项为多余选项。
Without Her Name
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice by English novelist Jane Austen is one of the most popular tales ever written. But behind the global admiration she enjoys today lies a sad fact.___12___
In Pride and Prejudice, she was simply the author of Sense and Sensibility, which had carried the title “By a Lady.” The anonymity(匿名) worked so well that even friends of the Austen family had no idea that dear, sweet Jane was a novelist. A friend of Jane' s brother Henry actually told him that Pride and Prejudice was “much too clever to be the work of a woman.”
___13___Tom Paine, a Founding Father of the United States, kept his identity hidden for a short time after the publication of his famous Common Sense.
For a woman, however, there was the added burden of societal expectations. Any sort of publishing or public display of talent was considered improper behavior for a woman.
It wasn't only fear about “bad manners” that discouraged women from writing under their own names.___14___ Charlotte Bronte, author of Jane Eyre, once sent her poetry to Robert Southey, a famous poet. Southey simply responded: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life.” Bronte used her pen name, Currer Bell, to publish Jane Eyre in 1847.Her sister Emily published Wuthering
Heights as Ellies Bell in the same year.
___15___Mary Shelley' s Frankenstein(《科学人》) had come out without her name in 1818.Mary Anne Evans wrote Middlemarch and her other novels under the pen name George Eliot.
The 20th century saw great progress towards gender equality. In theory, it should be unnecessary for women writers to follow Austen' s path any longer, unless driven by personal reasons.___16___ Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, was advised to become J. K. Rowling. That's because boys might dislike the feeling of picking up a book by a woman. Connie Ann Kirk explained in her biography of Rowling.
A. Jane Austen has attracted a great deal of critical attention in recent years.
B. Women 's writing was seldom taken seriously.
C. Politicians, for reasons of safety, also frequently chose to be invisible.
D. In practice, however, certain prejudices just won't go away.
E. in a 2016 interview, Italian novelist Elena Ferrante claimed her use of a pen name let her concentrate on writing.
F. in her own time, Austen 's name never appeared on her books.
G. They joined a long list of women authors who felt they had to hide.
【答案】12. F 13. C 14. B 15. G 16. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以Austen为例,说明了虽然Austen今天享有的全球赞赏的背后,存在着一个可悲的事实——在她那个时代,Austen的名字从未出现在她的书中。由此说明了历史中女性作家因为不受重视和社会偏见在文学创作中不得不使用笔名的社会现象,这种偏见即使在20世纪也仍在现实中存在。
【12题详解】
根据上文But behind the global admiration she enjoys today lies a sad fact.可知但在她今天享有的全球赞赏的背后,存在着一个可悲的事实。由此可知,本句承接上文说明这个关于Austen可悲的事实是什么。故F选项“在她那个时代,Austen的名字从未出现在她的书中”符合上下文语境,故选F。
【13题详解】
根据后文Tom Paine, a Founding Father of the United States, kept his identity hidden for a short time after the publication of his famous Common Sense.可知美国开国元勋Tom Paine在他著名的《常识》出版后,短暂地隐瞒了自己的身份。由此可知,本段是在说明政客们隐藏身份的事情。故C选项“出于安全考虑,政客们也经常选择隐藏身份”符合上下文语境,故选C。
【14题详解】
根据后文Charlotte Bronte, author of Jane Eyre, once sent her poetry to Robert Southey, a famous poet. Southey simply responded: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life.”可知《简·爱》的作者Charlotte Bronte曾将她的诗歌寄给著名诗人Robert Southey。Southey只是简单地回答说:“文学不能成为女人的生活。”由此可知,当时女性作家并不受人重视。故B选项“女性的写作很少受到重视”符合上下文语境,故选B。
【15题详解】
根据后文Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had come out without her name in 1818.Mary Anne Evans wrote Middlemarch and her other novels under the pen name George Eliot.可知Mary Shelley的《弗兰肯斯坦》在1818年问世时没有署名。Mary Anne Evans以George Eliot的笔名创作了《米德尔马契》和其他小说。由此可知,此处是在说明Charlotte Bronte和许多其他女性作家一样选择隐藏自己身份,用笔名来署名自己的小说。故G选项“她们加入了一长串觉得自己必须隐藏的女性作家的行列”符合上下文语境,故选G。
【16题详解】
根据后文Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, was advised to become J.K.Rowling. That's because boys might dislike the feeling of picking up a book by a woman.可知《哈利·波特》系列小说的作者Joanne Rowling曾被建议成为J. K. Rowling。这是因为男孩可能不喜欢拿起女人写的书的感觉。由此可知,即使20世纪,性别平等取得了巨大进步,但是某些偏见在现实中还是存在的。故D选项“然而,实际上,某些偏见是无法消除的”符合上下文语境,故选D。
第三部分:完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入的空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了加拿大在地理、种族和文化方面的多样性。
【32题详解】
考查时态。句意:加拿大由十个省和三个地区组成,是一个从大西洋绵延至太平洋的广阔而美丽的国家。设空处在句中为谓语动词,此句阐述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时,短语be made up of“由……组成”符合句意,主语是Canada,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填is made。
【33题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:加拿大由十个省和三个地区组成,是一个从大西洋绵延至太平洋的广阔而美丽的国家。句中“ _____ (stretch) from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean”作后置定语修饰country,country与stretch之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语,故填stretching。
【34题详解】
考查介词。句意:它包括宏伟的落基山脉,这里有高耸的山峰和被冰川与水流侵蚀而成的深谷,古老的冰川缓慢移动,向陆地靠近,种类繁多的野生动物在偏远的森林中漫步。根据句意和句子结构分析可知此处指“有……的落基山脉”,介词with“有,具有”符合句意,构成介宾结构作后置定语。故填with。
【35题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它包括宏伟的落基山脉,这里有高耸的山峰和被冰川与水流侵蚀而成的深谷,古老的冰川缓慢移动,向陆地靠近,种类繁多的野生动物在偏远的森林中漫步。句子结构分析可知设空处为非谓语动词,wildlife与wander之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式wandering。故填wandering。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:加拿大最早期的一些移民被认为是土著民族的祖先,从现在被称为西伯利亚的地方通过大陆桥穿过白令海峡而来。根据句意可知此处指最早期来的settlers,所以应该用early的最高级。故填earliest。
【37题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:加拿大最早的一些移民被认为是土著民族的祖先,从现在被称为西伯利亚的地方经由大陆桥穿越白令海峡而来。句子结构分析可知设空处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中做主语,指代前文的先行词settlers,表人,所以用who。故填who。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:今天,加拿大反映了种族背景的巨大结合。根据前文的a vast以及后文的of可知设空处为名词,所给词combine的名词为combination意为“结合到一起的事物或人,联合体”符合句意。故填combination。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:种族多元化相应地导致了文化多元化。固定短语bring about意为“引起,导致”符合题意。故填about。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:如果您发现自己置身于其中的一种亚文化中,语言、美食、建筑、艺术和音乐将会说明你邂逅的是何种文化。根据前文的one of these可知设空处应该填名词的复数形式,故填subcultures。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:当您接触到不同的文化时,您可能会有穿越时空之感。短语be exposed to意为“接触……,体验……”符合句意。故填to。

I have already forgotten the name of that old lady. Yet I still remember the matter as if it happened yesterday. It is she who teaches me a lesson in forgiveness.
It happened when I was twelve years old. That summer holiday, I planned to earn some pocket money by delivering the newspaper in our neighborhood. And she was a customer on my paper route. She was a kind lady and every time I gave her the paper, she would give me some cookies.
On a mindless Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady’s house from a quiet spot in her backyard. The purpose of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go. Seeing it headed straight for a small window on the old lady’s back porch (门廊), we stood there, numb with fear. The sound of broken glass awoke us from the fear and the next second, we ran away from the old lady’s yard faster than any of our missiles flowing off her roof.
After coming back home, I was so scared of getting caught that I dared not go out that whole afternoon. I stayed at home, glancing at my front yard nervously from time to time, feeling that lady would knock at our door at any time. But until I went to bed, what I was afraid didn’t happen. Lying in bed, I wondered whether she didn’t discover the broken window or she didn’t discover who had done it That was a sleepless night.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph1:
The next morning, I delivered the paper to her as usual. On the way to her home, so nervous was I that I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. But to my surprise, I saw the broken glass had been repaired and she didn’t mention it. When I handed her the paper, she still greeted me and gave me some cookies as usual. Holding these cookies in my hand, a feeling of guilt swept over me and I determined that I would save my paper delivery money to make up for the broken window.
Paragraph 2:
After three weeks, I earned seven dollars and put them in an envelope. I secretly put it through the letter box in her door. After doing this, I suddenly felt in relief. The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and thanked her for the bag of cookies. When I opened the bag, I was stunned. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you.” She knew it was me. But instead of blaming and punishing me, she chose to forgive me. Even so many years later, she is still deeply engraved in my mind, who taught me a valuable lesson in my life.

“We didn’t intend to be farmers,” Bob Paton says. In their 50s, he and his wife, Ann, envisioned “one more move”. They lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a checklist for their dream house: “Northumberland, stone-built, a bit of character and a reasonable garden,” Bob says.
The place they found ticked every box but one. Instead of a reasonable garden, it had six acres. As they walked the grounds, Bob turned to Ann and decided they could turn this into a small farm. Eleven days before his 60th birthday, he retired as a managing director with the IT company Accenture. Ann, 63, had already sold her grocery. Together they began to farm.
The next two years were a struggle. The four fields were badly fenced and waterlogged. The soil was poor. Growing vegetables was not a common thing to do in this cold, wet and windy area of Northumberland. They dug up thousands of stones, which was backbreaking, but they were never going to give up. As the son of a coal miner, Bob grew up in Ashington, 15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment (小块菜园). “Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things. My dad used to dig up potatoes. They melted in your mouth — the freshness! The memory stayed with me. But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something.” Bob recalled.
Now one field is home to a two-acre orchard. Two others house polytunnels, herbs and 50 varieties of vegetable. The fourth belongs to their Tamworth pigs. As Hexhamshire Organics, they sell 100 organic vegetable boxes a week, and supply Northumberland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant. “I used to say I retired, but now I say I had a career change,” Bob says. They have never worked so hard. “It’s usually the light that stops us,” Ann mentions. She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business, while Bob is the planner. Plan tomorrow today. Plan next week this week. Plan next month this month. His spreadsheet logs “every single vegetable”, from sowing to harvest, and calculates output to the square foot.
4. What does the underlined sentence in para.2 probably mean
A. Only one box was not ticked yet.
B. All about the place is not satisfying.
C. Bob fell in love with the place at first sight.
D. It’s impossible to turn the place into a reasonable garden.
5. What probably made Bob work hard on the farm despite struggles
A. The joy of harvest B. The freshness of potatoes
C. The support of his wife D. The retirement from work
6 Which of the following can best describe Bob Paton
A. Helpful and careful B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Determined and diligent D. Hard working and generous
7 In which section of a magazine can you find the text
A. Agriculture B. Career C. Education D. Lifestyle

Having a microchip implanted in a man’s brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla — has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a livestream demonstration of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude.
The chip, developed by Musk’s company, is the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes (电极) attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons (神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers. In the livestream, Gertrude could be seen walking around her pen sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology “would solve a lot of brain injuries”, which allows the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence, Musk said.
When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility(移动的) issues, such as those suffering from paralysis. Musk hopes this technology could also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy (癫痫).
Although such a device could, in principle, 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 pig’s brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number 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 neurons 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 Musk’s microchip according to the first three paragraphs
A. It is able to collect wireless signals.
B. It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
C. It has no more than 1,000 electrodes.
D. It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
9. What is the major goal of the microchip in human applications
A. To develop a cure for epilepsy.
B. To monitor animals’ brain activity.
C. To help people with difficulty in moving freely.
D. To contribute to the research in AI technologies.
10. What do paragraphs 6-7 mainly talk about
A. Potential problems in applying the chip to humans.
B. Key differences between pigs’ and humans’ brains.
C. The amount of time and money implanting the chip could cost.
D. How the immune system is the major obstacle to the implant.
11. How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain
A. Excited. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Worried.

Without Her Name
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice by English novelist Jane Austen is one of the most popular tales ever written. But behind the global admiration she enjoys today lies a sad fact.___12___
In Pride and Prejudice, she was simply the author of Sense and Sensibility, which had carried the title “By a Lady.” The anonymity(匿名) worked so well that even friends of the Austen family had no idea that dear, sweet Jane was a novelist. A friend of Jane' s brother Henry actually told him that Pride and Prejudice was “much too clever to be the work of a woman.”
___13___Tom Paine, a Founding Father of the United States, kept his identity hidden for a short time after the publication of his famous Common Sense.
For a woman, however, there was the added burden of societal expectations. Any sort of publishing or public display of talent was considered improper behavior for a woman.
It wasn't only fear about “bad manners” that discouraged women from writing under their own names.___14___ Charlotte Bronte, author of Jane Eyre, once sent her poetry to Robert Southey, a famous poet. Southey simply responded: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life.” Bronte used her pen name, Currer Bell, to publish Jane Eyre in 1847.Her sister Emily published Wuthering
Heights as Ellies Bell in the same year.
___15___Mary Shelley' s Frankenstein(《科学人》) had come out without her name in 1818.Mary Anne Evans wrote Middlemarch and her other novels under the pen name George Eliot.
The 20th century saw great progress towards gender equality. In theory, it should be unnecessary for women writers to follow Austen' s path any longer, unless driven by personal reasons.___16___ Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, was advised to become J. K. Rowling. That's because boys might dislike the feeling of picking up a book by a woman. Connie Ann Kirk explained in her biography of Rowling.
A. Jane Austen has attracted a great deal of critical attention in recent years.
B. Women 's writing was seldom taken seriously.
C. Politicians, for reasons of safety, also frequently chose to be invisible.
D. In practice, however, certain prejudices just won't go away.
E. in a 2016 interview, Italian novelist Elena Ferrante claimed her use of a pen name let her concentrate on writing.
F. in her own time, Austen 's name never appeared on her books.
G. They joined a long list of women authors who felt they had to hide.
