That morning I was running so late that by the time I reached the last crossroads before my school, traffic was at a stop. I could see the school. Ahead, the turn lane into the schools parking lot was empty. If I could just turn to the right, the only thing between me and the turn lane was a rocky and grassy field. I considered if there was a law against doing this type of thing , but the sound of the clock defeated sensible reasoning. I drove the car out of the line of traffic and headed for the freedom of that open land. The car bounced. The tall grass made a strange sound against its sides. But those sounds were drowned out by the siren behind me. Obviously there was a law. It appeared that I was now going to receive a ticket in the presence of countless parents and students who were also stuck in traffic. I stopped. The officer came up to my open window and I handed him my license without even looking at him. He glanced at it, then asked, So, were you trying to help the highway department with the grass trimming（修剪） there, maam? Whats going on? I replied: Well, I overslept, and . I just wanted to get to school. I tried . and . oh . I just needed to be on time. The police officer said, 6You wanted to be on time because youre a good teacher. You were when I had you. And then I did look at him. A former student of mine. All grown up. Keeping people safe. He gave me a warning - not different from ones Id given him years ago - and sent me on my way. And at last I arrived at my classroom, wondering what I learned.24What did the writer judge before turning to the field? AWhether she would break the law. BWhether her car would be trapped. CWhether students would follow suit. DWhether she would be laughed at.25What did the officers first question sound? ASerious. BHumorous. CCurious. DRespectful.26What do we know about the writer? AShe was fined that morning. . BShe felt relieved when stopped. CShe often drove across the grassy field. DShe once warned the student.27What did the writer learn that morning? ATo be punctual as a teacher. BTo be kind to every student. CTo keep safe all the time. DTo play by the rules.C Scientist Stephen Hawking had to work really hard to speak. He chose letters and words from a synthesizer（合成器） screen controlled by twitches of a muscle in his cheek. However, the painstaking process used by Hawking, who died in 2018, might soon be replaced. With a very different approach, doctors have found a way to get a persons speech directly from their brain. The breakthrough is the first to show how a persons intention to say specific words can be taken from brain signals and turned into text quickly. It is fast enough to keep pace with natural conversation. Doctors wanted something that allows people who are paralyzed（瘫痪）to communicate more quicklythan existing devices allow for. Todays devices pick up eye movements and muscle sudden movements to control a keyboard. To date there is no speech system that allows users to have interactions on the rapid timescale of a human conversation, said Edward Chang. In the research, Chang used the devices to record brain activity while each patient was asked questions. Using the recordings, Chang and his team built computer models that learned to match particular patterns of brain activity to the questions the patients heard and the answers they spoke. Once trained, the software could identify almost instantly, and from brain signals alone, what question a patient heard. It was accurate 76 percent of the time. The work is still in its early stage. However, Winston Chiong, a scientist, said it was important to debate the moral problems such systems might raise in the future. For example, could such speech- devices by accident reveal peoples private thoughts? Chang said that sharing their peoples inner thoughts is almost impossible. His device works only as thoughts are turned into signals to drive muscles involved in speech. I have no interest in developing a technology to find out what people are thinking, even if it were possible. But if someone wants to communicate and cant, I think we have a responsibility as scientists to restore that.” He said.28Why does the writer mention Stephen Hawking? ATo introduce a breakthrough in communicating. BTo show honor to the famous scientist. CTo reflect his difficulty in speaking. DTo explain his special way of making sound.29How does the brain-reading software work? ABy sensing the sound wave of words. BBy receiving brain signals. CBy moving muscle suddenly. DBy picking up eye movements.30What does the underlined word reveal mean in paragraph 6?ARemove. BCover. CExpose. DChange.31What is the main idea of the text? AThe patient communicates with doctors freely. BA new software follows your words meanwhile. COthers may read your inner thoughts. DBrain-reading software helps the paralyzed talk-D For a generation now, school reform has meant what students must be taught and carried out by standardized tests. Heres a thought experiment. Suppose that next year almost every student passed the tests. What would the reaction be from people? Would they shake their heads in respect and say, Damn, those teachers must be good! ? Of course not. Such remarkable success would be used as evidence that the tests were too easy and it needs to raise standards. High standards really means standards that all students will never be able to meet. My little thought experiment uncovers a truth that we have been taught to respond with doubt whenever all members of any group are successful. In America, success doesnt count unless it is got by only a few. Consider widespread complaints about grade inflation (膨胀) in higher education. Many people dont even bother to stress that grades have risen over time. They simply point to how many students get As right now. The goal, in other words, isnt to do well but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well. Grades in testing should be used to announce whos beating whom. A schools final task, apparently, is not to help everyone learn but to prepare the game so that there will always be losers. This makes no sense in any situation. Perhaps, for example, we can defend rating states or nations based on the quality of their air, health care or schools, but ranking them is foolish. School testing ranking doesnt lead to improvements in performance but tends to hold us back from doing our best. It makes productive teamwork less likely and leads all concerned to focus not on meaningful improvements but on trying to beat everyone else. Most of all, it encourages the false belief that excellence is a zero-sum game. It would be more reasonable to rescue the spirit of the concept: Everyone may not succeed, but at least in theory all of us could.32What did the writers thought experiment prove? AGood teachers represent higher test scores. BAmerican tests are usually too easy. CExcellence is regarded as a- rare thing. DStudents dont meet the test standards. 33What does the writer think American schools seem to do? APromote teachers to teach better. BRemove the belief of beating others. CHelp all students do well at school. DEnsure the existence of failures.34What is the writers attitude towards schools testing ranking? ASympathetic. BAmbiguous. CDisapproving.DUnconcerned.35What is the best title for the text? AWhy Cant Everyone Get As? BHow Can Students Succeed? CWhat Standards Do Schools Set?DWho Get Best Grades at School?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you think youve lost your inspiration?
