BCAD【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了电子计时的发展历史，特别是在奥运会上的应用。文章提到，最早的电子计时设备是在1912年的斯德哥尔摩奥运会上首次使用的，同时还介绍了随后出现的其他计时技术。最后，文章指出现代技术发展到了可以将整个计时系统储存在智能手机中的阶段。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Electrnic timing is lder than mst peple imagine and was used fr the first time mre than a hundred years ag at the 1912 Stckhlm Olympics. (电子计时的历史比大多数人想象的要久远，100多年前，1912年斯德哥尔摩奥运会首次使用电子计时。)”可知，100多年前，1912年斯德哥尔摩奥运会首次使用电子计时。B选项“It was first intrduced at the Olympics.(它最初是在奥运会上引入的。)”与原文信息一致。故选B。
29．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“At the same time, Carlstedt intrduced anther inventin: the finish line camera. (与此同时，卡尔施泰特介绍了另一项发明：终点线摄像机。)”以及“Fr the first time in histry, the utcme f an Olympic event had t be settled based n a pht finish when Kiviat was judged t be “slightly ahead”.(这是历史上第一次，奥运会比赛的结果必须根据照片来决定，当时基维亚特被判“略微领先”。)”可知，第二段中描述了奥运会比赛中，第一次使用卡尔施泰特的另一项发明：终点线摄像机来进行奥运会判定，通过列举基维亚特的例子来说明卡尔施泰特的另一项发明：终点线摄像机的重要作用。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The 1948 Olympics saw the intrductin f anther inventin with the cntinuus slit camera , where a film behind a narrw slit rlls ( 滚 动) with the same speed as the runners.(1948年奥运会推出了另一项发明，即连续狭缝相机，在窄缝后面的胶卷以与运动员相同的速度滚动。)”以及倒数第二段中“The next big step in the eighties was t make the camera digital t speed up the feedback . (80年代的下一个重大进展是使相机数字化，以加快反馈。)”以及本段中“But the idea behind the slit camera was kept and is still the basis f all timing systems fr athletics used tday. The nly difference is that nw there is a very narrw sensr array instead f the mving film. (但是狭缝相机背后的想法被保留下来，并且仍然是今天用于田径计时系统的基础。唯一的区别是现在使用了非常窄的传感器阵列，而不是移动的胶片。)”可知，狭缝摄影机和数码相机的区别在于，狭缝摄影机是胶卷以与运动员相同的速度滚动进行拍摄，而数码相机不是移动的胶片而是使用了非常窄的传感器阵列。故选A。
31．词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“After a century technlgy has reached the pint where the whle timing system can be stred in a smartphne.(一个世纪后，技术已经达到了整个计时系统可以存储在智能手机中的地步。)”可知，一个世纪后，整个计时系统存储在了智能手机中，根据划线词后文的内容“ when SprintTimer, a sprts timer and pht finish app, was develped in the same place and precisely a hundred years after Ragnar Carlstedt.( 当时SprintTimer，一个运动计时器和照片整理应用程序，在同一个地方被开发出来，正好是Ragnar Carlstedt100年后。)”可知，正是SprintTimer这个应用程序实现了前文的所提出的技术即将整个计时系统可以存储在智能手机中，SprintTimer的出现恰恰实现了这一闭环解决了该问题，故划线词与D选项“The issue was reslved.( 问题解决了。)”为同义词。故选D。

33．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“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.(该团队指示人工智能将故事录音中的语音与人工智能计算出的与人们听到的内容相对应的大脑活动模式相匹配。然后，它根据1000多种可能性，对这个人在短时间内可能听到的内容做出预测。)”可知，人工智能需要运用大脑活动模式做出预测。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The new study is decding f speech recgnitin, nt prductin,” King agrees, “Thugh speech prductin is the final gal, fr nw, we’re quite a lng way away.”(“新的研究是解码语音识别，而不是产生，”King同意，“虽然语音产生是最终目标，但目前，我们还有很长的路要走。”)”可知，Jean-Rémi King认为新的研究有前景，故选B。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“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.(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，因此最好的题目是A选项“A New Way t Decde Speech(语音解码的新方法)”，故选A。
七选五
EADCF【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了好奇心是天生的，从儿童到成人，好奇心促使人们探索未知，同时，好奇心也带来了新的机遇和可能。好奇心是创造力繁荣和成功的必要燃料。
36．设空句在该段段末，应呼应该段首句内容同时承起下段内容。首句“Curisity is rted in ur DNA.(好奇心根植于我们的DNA中。)”讲到好奇心是天生的，因此设空句应再次呼应“天生的”。选项C“Nwhere is this truer than when we watch ur children.(没有什么比我们看着自己的孩子更真实的了。)”用“孩子”对应“天生的好奇心”，符合逻辑，且在话题上承起了下段的“children”话题。故选E项。
37．设空句为该段首句，应是主题句。根据后文“It hlds ur hand as we mve int ld age and the unknwn f the future.(它牵着我们的手，让我们步入老年，走向未知的未来。)”可知，该段讲到了“好奇心”对成年人的引导作用，因此，设空句应含有核心词汇“成人”，“好奇心”。选项G“In adults, curisity guides us tward a lifetime ccupatin and t new destinatins.(对于成年人来说，好奇心引导我们走向一生的职业和新的目的地。)”在词汇上出现了“adults”，“curisity”等词汇复现，在句意上概括了后文内容，贴合该段主旨。故选A项。
38．分析该段内容可知，设空后文“It is als the generatin f pssibilities.(它也是各种可能性的产生。)”为该段的主旨句，由此可知，该段强调了好奇心带来的可能性，更加深远的影响，因此可推知，设空句应是过渡句，总结上段内容，过渡该段内容。选项D“But curisity is much mre than a simple search fr answers.(但好奇心远不止是简单地寻找答案。)”中“search fr answers”呼应上一段的“questin-askers”，同时使用“much mre than”使话题顺利过渡到该段，前后逻辑衔接紧密。故选D项。
39．分析可知，后文“Ian Leslie explains it this way(伊恩·莱斯利这样解释)”中的“it”应是指代设空句，而后文“Curisity is essential t an explring mind; it pens ur eyes t the new and undiscvered, encuraging us t seek ut new experiences and meet new peple.(好奇心对于探索的头脑来说是必不可少的；它让我们看到新的和未被发现的事物，鼓励我们寻找新的经验，结识新的人。)”讲到的“好奇心对新事物认知的推动作用”，即“it”，也就是设空句的含义。选项“Curisity becmes a bst fr new pprtunities and new ptins.(好奇心成为新机会和新选择的动力。)”在句意上符合分析，为解释句同义句表达，同时在话题上呼应主旨句“It is als the generatin f pssibilities.(它也是各种可能性的产生。)”，符合分析。故选C项。
40．根据前文“Curisity is the catalyst fr questining, and questining is what urges us t seek ut the unfamiliar and the unknwn.(好奇心是质疑的催化剂，而质疑是促使我们去寻找不熟悉和未知的东西。)”可知，前文提出了质疑在探寻未知过程中的促进作用，由此可推知，设空句应承接此话题，继续讲述质疑的促进作用。选项B“Withut questining, knwledge becmes inactive.(没有质疑，知识就会变得不活跃。)”用双重否定的形式肯定了质疑对知识的促进作用，且该句主语“knwledge”与后文主语“It”相呼应，并在句意上与后文构成解释关系。故选F项。
