It was a seventeen-jewel Elgin in a locket-style case, and my mother bought it before she was married in September 1916. It was a typical watch of the era, functional yet decorative and was given to me around the time I was thirteen or fourteen. At that time, it was just another one of the things I owned. When I left for the service in April 1941, I took the watch with me. My unit was sent to the Philippine Islands. While crossing the Pacific, I almost lost the watch after carelessly leaving it tied to a waterline when taking a shower. Thankfully, an honest GI found it and returned it. The watch still did not seem that special to me. It was just one of my practical possessions. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we retreated to the Bataan Peninsula. Now I started to become a little concerned about my watch. When we were told to surrender to the Japanese, I knew that my watch could become a Japanese souvenir. I didn't want to lose it. I did what I could to outsmart my enemy. Finally, my unit surrendered, and we were sent to a work detail in northern Luzon. One day, I was standing in the dump box of a truck, guarded by one Japanese soldier. His eyes were staring at my pocket and then reached out with a gloved hand. I froze and held my breath, fearing that I was about to lose my now prized possession. Surprisingly, the guard was not curious enough to ask about what I had in my pocket, and again the watch was safe for a while. The work detail lasted about seventy days. After that, we marched on to Cabanatuan Prison Camp, where I remained for two and a half years. There I removed the band from the watch and wrapped the face in medical gauze and tape. It made a small, easy-to-hide package. At last, when my camp was liberated, the watch and I made the trip home. When I walked through the door, I learned that my mother had died. Now her watch, which had become a reminder of my own survival, was also a reminder of her life. 【1】How did the writer feel about the watch at first? A.Common. B.Special. C.Prized. D.Useless. 【2】Which of the following statements is true? A.My mother gave the watch to me when I got married in September 1916. B.I lost the watch due to my carelessness on the way to the Philippine Island. C.My mother died after I returned from the Cabanatuan Prison Camp. D.It took more than two and a half years before I finally returned home. 【3】What is the best title of this text? A.A Reminder of My Survival. B.Mother’s Watch. C.The Bombing of the Pearl Harbor. D.My Life during the War. |

Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise. Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a tendency to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a tendency to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain). The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing. What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very irresolute when risks were known---more careful than college students or parent-aged adults, and as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior. 【1】How was this experiment carried out? A.By dividing the teens into three groups. B.By comparing the reactions to different risks. C.By giving equal amount of awards to the participants. D.By observing the emotional changes of the teenagers. 【2】What does the underlined word “irresolute” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.brave. B.intelligent. C.independent. D.hesitant. 【3】According to the study, parents should focus on _______. A.guaranteeing children to be cautious B.setting age limits on risky activities C.respecting teens to make their own choices D.guiding teens to analyze risks |

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. 【1】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. 【2】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. 【3】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. 【4】How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain? A.Excited. B.Optimistic. C.Cautious. D.Worried. |

阅读下面短文：根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事 At noon that day, I drove back home early. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs — it was the sound of my favorite violin. "Thief!" I thought to myself. I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, l found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief. Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, "Are you Mr. Ram's nephew, Michael? I'm his housekeeper. Two years ago, I heard his his nephew living in the countryside would come. It must be you." On hearing my words, the boy was astonished, but then he said quickly, "Has my uncle gone out? I think I'd better first go out for a walk and visit him in a while." I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, "Do you like to play the violin so much?" "Yes. but I'm so poor that I can't afford one," the boy replied. "Then, I give this violin to you." The boy looked at me doubtfully, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily(不由自主的;一停地) trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back. I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper's photo. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.
