23、白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。Scientists Create Speech from Brain SignalsScientists have found a way to use brain signals to make a computer speak the words a person is trying to say. Some illnesses or injuries can cause people to lose the ability to speak. 1 , but they are slow. One method allows a person t

24、o “type b”y moving their eyes from letter to letter to spell out words. The top speed with this method is about 10 words per minute. Normal human speech is about 150 words per minute.Much recent research has focused on a direct connection between someonebsr ain and a computer. 2 . For many BCIs, peo

25、ple have wires attached to their brains. This allows scientists to track the electrical signals in the brain and connect them to computers.Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) decided to focus on the muscles people were trying to use when they spoke. 3 . Epilepsy (癫痫) is

26、a condition where unusual electrical activity in the brain can cause problems with a person cosn trol of their body or senses.There are about 100 muscles used for speaking. The scientists knew roughly what the shape of the mouth would have to be to make each sound. This allowed them to figure out ho

27、w the brain signals controlled the speaking muscles. With that information they could “ decode t”he brain signals to find out how the person was moving their mouth. 4 .The scientists were surprised at how close to real speech the computer speech was.5 , the muscles used to make each sound are the sa

28、me for everyone. That will make it easier for a system like this to help many people.A.These people could speak normallyB.This is calel d a “ Brain Computer Interface ” (BCI)C.There are some ways for these people to communicateD.The UCSF scientists worked with a group of five people with epilepsyE.T

29、here msu ch to learn before a system like this could be used ineveryday lifeF.One important discovery is that though each person s brain signals aredifferentG.Then the scientists were able to create computer speech sounds basedon the position of the speaking muscles 【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的科研成果。科 学

30、家已经找到了一种方法 , 利用大脑信号让电脑说出一个人试图说的 话。1.【解析】 选 C。利用同词复现策略确定答案。根据这句话后面的内 容: 一种方法允许一个人通过移动他们的眼睛拼出单词。 此方法的最高 速度约为每分钟 10 个单词。正常人类讲话是每分钟大约 150 个单词 , 所以这里选择 C: 有一些对于那些因为疾病而失去说话能力的人的沟 通方式。C选项中的 these people 指代空前失去说话能力的人 , C 选项 中的 ways 和空后 method 同义词复现。2.【解析】选 B。利用同词复现策略确定答案。 选项 B中的词汇 BCI, 在 空后出现, 起到上下文衔接的作用 ;

31、选项 B的主语 this 指代上文。许多 研究都集中在人的大脑和电脑之间的一个直接联系上 , 这称为 “大脑电 脑接口 ”。对于许多大脑电脑接口来说 , 人们有一些大脑电线 , 这使得 科学家能够跟踪大脑中的电信号 , 并将它们连接到电脑上。3.【解析】选 D。利用同词复现策略确定答案。 D选项中的 epilepsy, 在 空后出现。加州大学旧金山分校的科学家们对五名癫痫病患者进行研 究 , 癫痫病是大脑中异常的电活动导致大脑对人的身体或感官控制出现问题。4.【解析】 选 G。根据上下文的逻辑关系确定答案。大约有 100 块肌 肉用于说话。 科学家们大致知道发出每个声音时 , 嘴的形状是什么。

32、 这 使他们能够找出大脑信号如何控制说话的肌肉。 有了这些信息 , 他们可 以“解码”大脑信号 , 以找出人是如何移动他们的嘴。然后 , 科学家们能 够根据说话肌肉的位置来创造计算机语音。科学家们对计算机产生的 语音与真实语音的接近程度感到惊讶。5.【解析】 选 F。根据标点符号以及反义词复现策略确定答案。 F选项 中的 different 与后半句话 the same 构成一对反义词。一个重要的发现 是 , 虽然每个人的大脑信号是不同的 , 但是每个人用来发出声音的肌 肉是相同的。. 短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文 , 请你修改你同桌 写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误 , 每句中最多有两处。每处错 误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加 : 在缺词处加一个漏字符号 (), 并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除 : 把多余的词用斜线 ()划掉。修改 : 在错的词下划一横线 , 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意: 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词 ;
