2、 aware of foster care when her parents were considering adopting a child. Although the 1 didnt work out, Ella often found herself thinking about that child. “Im really close with my family, and just couldnt imagine being 2 on my own at 18,” she says. Later, Ella visited Children Services, with a lis

One question was “Whats not being 4 for these young people?” Near the top of the list was furniture. “The idea of moving into an apartment and not having a bed to sleep on pulled at my heartstrings,” says Ella.Ella contacted her parents friends

21、 introduce a marathon camp.D. To publicize a place of interest. BRene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. Hed hiked the park numerous times. But when hiking along a new path, the 45-year-old was lost.As the day faded into darkness, his concern turned to fear. With only a little water
22、 in his backpack and 10% battery remaining on his cellphone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour trip hed planned.Compean climbed to a spot where he found one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. Im lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. T
23、he shot showed his legs hanging over a rock face. All Compean could do then was wait. The temperature was dropping fast. Dressed only in shorts, and a sweatshirt, the hiker was chilled to the bone. He hugged himself into a tight ball. And after spotting two mountain lions, he spent the night on high
24、 alert.Sixty miles away, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a posting from the police, showing an image of a mans legs. The search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the photo, hoping someone might recognize the location.“Ive alwa
25、ys loved looking for where photos are taken,” Kuo says. He frequently tries to identify where movie scenes or commercials were filmed. Hes often successful. When he saw the image, he automatically pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. “Theres an amazing amount of information you can get from sate
26、llites,” he says. The first thing he noticed in Compeans photo was plenty of greenery. After comparing it to the satellite map, Kuo realized something: “Hes got to be on the south side because therere not any green valleys on the north side.”That finding led him to an area that looked like the terri
27、tory in the image. The final step was cross-referencing the original photo with 3-D images of the area. The locations matched!After spending 27 hours in the wilderness, Compean was found.Compeans story probably would have ended differently had it not been for the man with strong satellite skills and
28、 a sharp eye for detail.24. What caused Compean to get lost on the hike? A. The thick forest.B. The unfamiliar route.C. The coming of nightfall.D. Low battery on the phone. 25. Kuo was able to offer help because of _.A. his photo reading abilityB. his sense of responsibilityC. his professional exper
29、ience D. his familiarity with the area26. What can we learn from this story? A. One good turn deserves another.B. Chance favors the prepared mind. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. Theres no such thing as useless knowledge. C Last year scientists reported using a neural implant(神经植入物)
30、in a mans brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces(接口), or BCIs, which allow computers to read informatio
31、n out of a living brain. Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions. And crucially, the basic set of brain maps and their locations within t
32、he brain are very similar across individuals. Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations, brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies. Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI. Although the location of a brain map is the same acr
33、oss individuals, the detailswhat patterns of activity within the map meandiffer from person to person. In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption(加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies.That brings us to the second fact
34、 that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode(解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. Researchers developing BCIs often create su
35、ch examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from. While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs, the unique features of your brain maps tend to protect the
36、m from spying eyes. In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge. This can happen if your
37、neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities. Like all technologies, brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad. Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs, we need to ensure that we have the means to protect ourselves from corporations
38、with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain.27. What can we learn about brain maps? A. They carry unique messages. B. They can process encrypted signals.C. Their functions vary from person to person. D. Their locations revealhuman thinking patterns.28. What can we
39、 infer from the passage?A. BCIs can boost brain signals dramatically.B. BCIs could help recover from brain injuries.C. Machine learning enables BCIs to read mind.D. The decoding of brain may be affected by BCIs. 29. What does the underlined word “surreptitious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Secur
40、e. B. Stable. C. Standard. D. Secret. 30. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The future trend of BCIs. B. The potential risks of BCIs.C. The working principle of BCIs. D. The general applications of BCIs.D Journal-based peer reviewthe process of subjecting a scientific research paper to the
41、 inspection of others who are experts in the same fieldis generally held up as the quality assurance mechanism for research. It claims to be an essential measure which prevents publishing faulty papers. Reviewing a paper can delay its publication by up to a year; is that a price worth paying to ensu
42、re the trustworthiness of the published literature? Well, yes and no. Im not yet ready to abandon journal-based peer review. Id still like to see all papers pass some sort of checking stage before formal publication, but I feel the ground moving. The growing use of preprints, drafts of papers which
43、are posted online without having been peer reviewed, is a crucial part of that shift because they bring academics back to what research publication is all about: the rapid circulation of new results so they can be read, analyzed and built upon. Publication in journals has become more about fame and
44、this has affected both the motivations of authors and the job of reviewers.Competition for prized spots in journals drives scientists to do some of their best work. But the excessive(过多的) rewards for publishing in top journals are encouragements to corner-cutting, as stories polished by leaving out
45、inconvenient data are more likely to be taken up. And the job of the reviewer also becomes distorted: it is more often now to decide not whether a paper is any good, but whether it is good enough for the journal considering publication. For top journals, that can depend as much on newsworthiness as
46、scientific quality.These problems are well known, but the tragedy for science is that few people are willing to break away from the present system. However, as biologist Ron Vale argued recentlyfittingly, in a preprintpreprints may be a way out because they dont involve a major shift away from the n
47、orm. That may seem an odd claim given that preprints have been in existence for twenty years, yet have not been adopted universally. This slow uptake is not only a reflection of the built-in conservatism of scientists, but also a result of the widespread misunderstanding that journals wont accept manuscripts which have been posted online as preprints. There is also a fear that publication of papers without peer review risks opening the floodgates to junk sciencesomething whic
