An artificial intelligence can decde (解码) wrds and sentences frm brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using nly a few secnds f brain activity data, the AI guesses what a persn has heard. It lists the crrect answer in its tp 10 pssibilities , researchers fund in a primary study.
Develped at the parent cmpany f Facebk, Meta, the AI culd eventually be used t help thusands f peple arund the wrld wh are unable t cmmunicate thrugh speech, typing r gestures.
Mst existing technlgies t help such patients cmmunicate require risky brain surgeries t put in electrdes (电极). This new apprach “culd prvide a pssible path t help patients with cmmunicatin prblems, aviding the use f surgeries,” says neurscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher.
King and his clleagues trained a cmputatinal tl, als knwn as a language mdel, t detect wrds and sentences n 56, 000 hurs f speech recrdings frm 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language mdel t databases frm fur institutins that included brain activity frm 169 vlunteers. In these databases, participants listened t varius stries and sentences, while the pepleˈs brains were scanned by magnetencephalgraphy (MEG) (脑磁图).
Then with the help f a cmputatinal methd that helps accunt fr physical differences amng actual brains, the team tried t decde what participants had heard using just three secnds f brain activity data frm each persn. The team instructed the AI t match up the speech sunds frm the stry recrdings with patterns f brain activity that the AI cmputed as crrespnding t what peple were hearing. It then made predictins abut what the persn might have been hearing during that shrt time, given mre than 1, 000 pssibilities. Using MEG, the crrect answer was in the AIˈs tp 10 guesses, the researchers fund.
“ The new study is decding f speech recgnitin, nt prductin,” King agrees, “Thugh speech prductin is the final gal, fr nw, weˈre quite a lng way away.”
12.What is the main advantage f the new technlgy?
A. Aviding dangerus peratins n patients.
B. Helping patients with cmmunicatin prblems.
C. Prviding a path t cmmunicate with thers.
D. Freeing patients frm risky brain peratins.
13.Whm might be the AI be beneficial t?
A. Peple unable t cmmunicate nrmally.
B. Peple wh canˈt mve arund.
C. Peple wh are uncnscius.
D. Peple unable t eat.

Using nly a few secnds f brain activity data, the AI guesses what a persn has heard. (人工智能可以以惊人的准确度从大脑活动中解码单词和句子。只需要几秒钟的大脑活动数据,人工智能就能猜测出一个人听到了什么。)”和第二段的“Develped at the parent cmpany f Facebk, Meta, the AI culd eventually be used t help thusands f peple arund the wrld wh are unable t cmmunicate thrugh speech, typing r gestures. (这款人工智能由Facebk的母公司Meta开发,最终可用于帮助全球成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。)”可知,本文主要讲的是一项新研究指出人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码语音,最终帮助世界各地成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人,因此C选项“A New Way t Decde Speech (语音解码的新方法)”是文章最佳标题。故选C。

1. 根据上文“As with mst gd things in life, we tend t take ur eyesight fr granted right until the pint it starts giving us truble.(与生活中大多数美好的事物一样,我们倾向于认为我们的视力是理所当然的,直到它开始给我们带来麻烦。)”可知,文章开头提到人们通常不重视视力,直到视力出现问题才开始关注。接着下文给出了一些保护视力的建议。G项:Fllw the fllwing suggestins t keep yur eyes healthy.(按照下面的建议来保持你的眼睛健康。)符合语境。故选G。

These cntain nutrients such as vitamins C and E.(你最好有一个均衡的饮食,包括大量的鱼和绿叶蔬菜、水果、坚果和鸡蛋。它们含有维生素C和E等营养物质。)”可知,上文提到这些食物含有维生素C和E等营养成分,因此可以推断出这些营养成分对眼睛健康至关重要。C项中的“they”指代上文的“nutrients”。C项:They are essential fr eye health.(它们对眼睛健康至关重要。)符合语境。故选C。

4. 根据下文“Yu already knw this ne, but it bears repeating — stp staring at yur cmputer screen r TV all the time.

5. 根据上文“Sunglasses can make yu lk pretty cl.(墨镜能让你看起来很酷。)”可知,此处是在说明戴墨镜的好处,F项中的“they”指代上文的“sunglasses”。F项:They can als prtect yur eyes frm the glare f the sun.(它们还可以保护你的眼睛免受刺眼的阳光。)符合语境。故选F。

【解析】1. 考查名词。句意:中国的长城全长5000多公里,是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一。“ne f+复数名词”是固定短语,意为“……之一”。故填wnders。
2. 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:长城始于中国西部甘肃省的嘉峪关,止于东部辽宁省的虎山。end是并列谓语动词,与主语The Great Wall之间是主动关系,描述客观事实用一般现在时态,主语是专有名词,谓语用单数形式。故填ends。
3. 考查冠词。句意:长城始于中国西部甘肃省的嘉峪关,止于东部辽宁省的虎山。表示方向的名词前常用定冠词the限定;in the east“在东方”。故填the。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:长城像一条巨大的龙,从西向东延伸,蜿蜒穿过山脉、沙漠和山谷。“(wind) its way acrss muntains, thrugh deserts and ver valleys”作伴随状语,wind(蜿蜒而行)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语The Great Wall之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填winding。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意:它的建造持续了2000多年,最初是为了保护中华帝国的北部边界免受各种游牧民族的入侵。“(prtect) the nrthern brders f the Chinese Empire against...”是“It was built...”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填t prtect。

7. 考查定语从句。句意:其中最著名的是由中国第一位皇帝秦始皇在公元前220-206年间建造的长城。空格处单词引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the wall,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
8. 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:那堵墙几乎没有保留下来,现存的大部分城墙都是明朝修建的。build(修建)是分句中谓语动词,与主语the majrity f the existing wall(现存的大部分城墙)之间是被动关系,句中有时间状语during the Ming Dynasty,讲述过去的事情应使用一般过去时态,又因主语是单数名词,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was built。
9. 考查介词。句意:它在中国历史上发挥了重要作用。表示“在……中”用介词in;in Chinese histry“在中国历史上”。故填in。
10. 考查连词。句意:长城一直是中国文明的象征,它已成为中国最著名的景点之一,吸引着来自世界各地的游客。“The Great Wall has been a symbl f Chinese civilizatin”和“it has becme ne f the mst famus scenic spts in China”是两个并列分词,用并列连词and连接。故填and。
