Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The human brain has the ability to constantly form new networks and connections between brain cells. This means the brain has an almost magical ability to change. This characteristic is underline(26) apparent in a new study, focusing on people who underwent a hemispherectomy, a surgical procedure in which half of the brain is removed to treat illness.The findings showed that, despite missing half of this critical underline(27) participants could function well. This was because the underline(28) half of their brain strengthened. In fact, researchers found that connections—and thus communication—between parts of different brain networks are actually stronger in people who had hemispherecomies than in people with intact brains. This underline(29) that the brain is able to compensate for loss of certain brain structure.There are many other cases in the medical underline(30) that document the brain's amazing ability to underline(31). For example, a young boy had a significant portion of his brain removed for medical reasons, which included the part of the brain underline(32) for sight. But a few years after his surgery, scientists found that he could underline(33) see. They determined that this was because other parts of his brain took over the missing part's underline(34) tasks. Another study involved people who could smell, despite missing the region in the brain that processes information about smells. Though they are not sure how these individuals underline(35) the ability to smell, scientists believe it is possible that another part of the brain took on that task.fbox{A) adapt B) hardly C) indicates D) insistE) literature F) organ G) particularly H) remainingI) responsible J) retained K) still L) strategyM) transformed N) underlines O) visual}

Passage Two Born without sight, 7-year-old Lucas Murray used to be so afraid of walking that he wouldn’t take a step without his parents. He wouldn’t walk on a bumpy surface. But now, Lucas has become more mobile than his parents ever imagined, running with friends, playing basketball and jumping on a (蹦床)―all on his own. The incredible change is owed to a technique called echolocation, similar to the method used by dolphins and bats, that allows Lucas to paint a picture of his surroundings using the sound he creates himself. To "see" the world around him, he dicks his tongue and listens to the echo that bounces back. From the sound, he can make out the location, depth and shape of objects around him, allowing him to (导航) even unfamiliar areas. Though it’s estimated that only about 5% to 10% of the blind population now uses a (声呐系 统)-type approach, the Murrays hope it could someday become as common as the cane. Two years ago, Daniel Kish, a blind psychologist who has practiced the technique since childhood and has been teaching it for more than 15 years, traveled to the Murrays’ hometown and worked with Lucas for four days, teaching him not just echolocation, but also convincing Lucas and his parents that blindness doesfft need to be a limiting condition. "You have to let go, and it’s the hardest thing in the world;’ said Sarah Murray. When Kish suggested the family let Lucas walk along the shore on his own, she said, "It was frightening. And Lucas found it frightening too:" But after the family overcame the initial fear, Lucas made rapid progress. He learned how to detect different-sized bowls and cardboard panels by clicking to navigating grocery stores entirely on his own. In addition to clicking, Lucas also uses a white cane to find his way. "He likes exploring things, and he likes climbing things" his mother said. "He’ll go up the elevator. That wouldn’t have been believable in a million years:’ She said the technique is second nature to him now.It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. it is only human nature to imitate the animal behaviorB. by using the echolocation, Lucas’ action will no longer be limitedC. Daniel Kish helped Lucas with the sonar-type approach because he is blind tooD. the hardest thing to learn something new is the fear to take the first step

Smart cities integrate advanced technologies, such as Information and Communication Technologies (信息与通信技术) and the Internet of Things (物联网), to enhance quality of life, sustainability, and operational efficiency. City operations crucially impacted by smart technologies include transportation, energy, and infrastructure. As cities incorporate these advancements, they evolve into smarter entities. However, defining which cities truly qualify as "smart" remains a debated matter.The concept of smart cities traces back to the 1960s when Los Angeles officials used data and computer programs to identify impoverished neighborhoods. The term gained prominence in the 1990s, evolving to include engagement from residents. Today, smart city solutions address challenges arising from population growth, with two-thirds of the world's population projected to live in cities by 2050.Smart cities are powered by a convergence of key technologies that drive innovation and efficiency in urban living. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) forms the backbone, encompassing data-related technologies for capturing, storing, processing, and transferring information seamlessly (流畅地). The Internet of Things (IoT) establishes a network of physical devices embedded with sensors and connectivity, fostering the collection and sharing of valuable data. Automation plays a crucial role in minimizing human input, enabling cities to respond dynamically to real-time data transmitted by IoT-connected devices. Moreover, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) combines computer science with robust datasets, empowering cities to manage infrastructure efficiently and adopt sustainable practices. Together, these technologies create an ecosystem, propelling smart cities into the future.In smart transportation, IoT, AI, and geolocation (地理定位) enhance real-time data collection to improve public transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions. Smart energy management, powered by AI, analyzes data from connected devices to forecast energy consumption, supporting renewable energy integration and mitigating climate change. Smart infrastructure, covering transportation, energy, and utilities like water, employs sensors and connected devices for proactive issue identification. This not only enhances efficiency but also improves residents' quality of life.By embracing these technologies, smart cities become hubs of innovation, addressing contemporary challenges while promoting sustainability and a better urban lifestyle. As technology continues to advance, the landscape of smart cities will likely shape the future of urban living.1. What is the primary purpose of implementing smart city technologies?A. Reducing access to public transportation.B. Addressing population growth challenges.C. Enhancing historical preservation.D. Promoting rural development.
