Although Adrian Wood had already sent her three oldest children off toWhiteOakElementary SchoolinEdenton,North Carolina, she was anxious when it was her youngest son Amos's turn to start classes.Adriansaid, “Sending Amos to school was such a different path. He was 3 when he started school. He had autism(自闭症)and he didn't speak.\"

Amos struggled to make friends and fit in, but there was always one person there who was very happy to see him. Raymond Brown has worked at the school as a guard for the past 15 years.

To the mom's surprise, Amos quickly began responding with a cheerful \"Hey, Brown” whenever he saw him. \"He wasn't even saying 'daddy' at home, so it was really something, \"Adriansaid.

“Amos is a hard friend to have,\"Adrianexplained, \"He takes a lot more than he gives and that's tough for children.

It meant so much to me that he was favored by the other children at school, and Mr. Brown had a big hand in that.”

Dear Jack,

I remember the moment— it truly hit me that your autism (自闭症) lasted forever. I had already mentally planned our trips up north with the boys. I was going to spend endless hours playing baseball with you— like Grandpa did with me.

When we said goodbye to kindergarten I knew it was real. I spent some time being sad. Now you are 8. You still have no words. We have never had one of those father-son moments I pictured when you were a baby. But I'm learning that's OK. I still have unbelievable things to offer as your dad, even if they weren't the things I originally expected.

You have taught me to be patient. You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planned. You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right. Stand up and say this is wrong, and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.

My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you. Be the voice you don't have, and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in. I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them. Before you were born, I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Now, I see things differently. I notice. You did that for me. And hope my example will do that for others.

Your mom and I have spent 8 years trying to find your voice. And honestly, we don't know if we ever will. I promise you I will spend my life keeping you safe and making this world better for you. 4. To whom is the text written?

C

A company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.

The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special \"Link\" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.

Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.

Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.

The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.

At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.

Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose

behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them. 8. What are “Link” devices used to do? A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals. B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain. C. To send out information about the brain's signals. D. To control movements of the arms and hands. 9. What challenged scientists most in the study? A. Recording and sending out body signals. B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly. C. Planting \"Link\" devices into Pager's brain. D. Matching brain signals to body movements. 10. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study? A. To test artificial intelligence. B. To help those without arms or legs. C. To study how animals play video games. D. To develop more complex video games. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed. B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys. C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind. D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.

D

Sonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska, after a weeklong visit to Washington, D. C. with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism(自闭症).

Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm him.

“It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son, ” she wrote in a post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline(自制力)，but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.”

The day was saved by Delta flight attendant(空乘人员)Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane.That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time.

“When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post，which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge, and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world. ”

It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post.“ We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview. “So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers.”

She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story. “When I read it, it touched my heart. It’s something I would do for anyone on the plane, because that’s what I’m here for. It really made a difference in her life.”

12. How did Redding feel on the plane? A. Tired. B. Uncomfortable. C. Very angry. D. Deeply afraid. 13. What did Amburgy do to help the family? A. She asked the family to stay beside her. B. She asked the other passengers for help. C. She tried her best to calm the boy. D. She helped look after the other boy. 14. Why did Redding post the story? A. To show her thanks. B. To help kids with autism. C. To get in touch with Amburgy. D. To share her travel experience.

15. Which of the following words can best describe Amburgy? A. Proud. B. Honest.

C. Hard-working. D. Warm-hearted. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
