2． Don't call Madison Steward an environmentalist.She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that's in need of protection.
Despite her youth，the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran（老手）.She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents' boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving（水肺潛水） certification，aged 12.Already impressed by sharks，Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world."I got to know the sharks…I could recognize them by sight，"Madison says."Other people had dogs around them growing up.I had sharks."
But within a couple of years，she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef."One day I went in the water and couldn't find my sharks anywhere，sharks I'd spent my childhood with，"she says."They'd been caught and killed."It was a critical moment for Madison.
She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean.She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others.She launched an online channel and built huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin（鰭） industry.
In 2014，Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl，which introduced her to a global audience.In 2017，she appeared as an"Ocean Guardian"in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world's marine environments，including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery.The film that encourages viewers to get involved and the individual to make a difference by their own direct action would never be underestimated.

3． Doctors at the University of California，San Francisco，in the US，have developed a piece of software that can read minds.The project，supported by Facebook，hopes to help people who，because of medical conditions，are unable to communicate with others.
Until now，technologies that have helped speech-impaired （語(yǔ)言障礙） people communicate have been too slow to allow a natural conversation.People find these things upsetting to use.This new way uses brain signals to change a person's thoughts into text.When we want to speak，the brain sends signals to make the lips，jaw and tongue move in the right way to make an understandable sound.By discovering these brain signals，the new software is able to predict what a person want to say quickly enough to hold a conversation.
The brain-reading software was tested on three volunteers who could all speak like healthy people.They were being treated for epilepsy （癲癇）.As part of their treatment for epilepsy，each patient had electrodes（電極） placed on to their brain.Edward Chang，whole d the study，used these electrodes to record the signals in the patients' brains while they listened to a list of questions and answered them.
Chang and his team then built a computer program that learned to match the patients' brain signals to the words the patients heard and the words the patients spoke.For the questions，the software matched the correct words 76%of the time.For the answers，it matched the correct words 61%of the time.
Now，the mind-reading software works only for the limited set of sentences on which it was trained.Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back.Chang said， "We as scientists should try our best to help people to bring that most important and basic human ability back."
（1）What is the disadvantage of previous technologies？
A．They couldn't read people's minds correctly.
B．They couldn't make communication understandable.
C．They couldn't serve the purpose of natural conversation.
D．They couldn't let medical conditions change for the better.
（2）How does the software help people？
A．By changing people's mind into text.
B．By sending signals to their lips.
C．By organizing conversations for them.
D．By training them how to speak.
（3）What can we know about the mind-reading software according to the last paragraph？
A．It has been used on a wide scale.
B．It has restored the basic human ability.
C．It still has plenty of room for improvement.
D．It has enhanced human real-time conversation.
（4）What is the attitude of the author towards the mind-reading software？
A．Favorable.
B．Objective.
C．Intolerant.
D．Doubtful.組卷：9引用：2難度：0.3

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
As Amy walked home from school one afternoon，she saw images of symmetry（對(duì)稱） all around her：in the faces of people，in the buildings she passed，and in the cars that went by.Even the autumn leaves that covered the sidewalk.A butterfly landed on a branch above her，and Amy suddenly stopped.She held her breath and smiled，watching as it opened and closed its perfectly symmetrical wings.
All that month，Amy's class had been studying different forms of symmetry，and Amy was deeply attracted.They'd observed the mirror symmetry of violins and the rotational symmetry of starfish.They'd even studied symmetry using a microscope and recorded the beauty with a phone camera.Now Mr.Garcia，their science teacher，had given them their final assignment：to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it.
"The most beautiful example of symmetry.What on earth could that be？"Amy asked herself.She finally decided to use her microscope to find one.Amy spent hours in the garden on the examination of cells，pieces of rock，and drops of pond water.Although she was amazed by what she saw，none was truly beautiful.
"What are you bringing to class？"Amy asked her friend Cathy on the bus ride to school."A model airplane，"replied Cathy proudly."And my brother Mathew is bringing his guitar."Those things are nice，thought Amy，but there must be something more beautiful.
That evening，she stayed with her microscope until her father called out，"Get inside，Amy.It's freezing outside.The weather forecast says it's going to snow."
Amy's heart sank.There would be fewer things to study under the microscope.Snow would cover the area like a blanket，hiding everything from sight.Her assignment was due in just a few days.Amy began to feel panic as she was packing up her microscope.Then she caught sight of something white blown onto the stage of her microscope.Yes!The snowflake（雪花）!She looked through the microscope and was amazed by its beauty.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
"I have to show it to my class，"Amy cried excitedly.
Finally，it was the day to report.組卷：8引用：2難度：0.5
