四川省广安市第二中学校2022-2023学年高三上学期一诊模拟考试英语试题
学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
1. As a first-time e-paper user, I am not sure if all the momentary pixilation (像素) is normal. The size is ideal for my new-teenager. There are hardly any annoyances and the kid seems enjoying the experience. The parental controls are, mildly put, inadequate. I would anticipate being able to define lock-down timings and limit usage duration for a device targeted at kids.

2. This is such a lifesaver! My son reads books constantly. We were doing our best to buy books and use the library, but it was hitting our wallets hard. With the Kindle Free Time included with this Kindle kids edition, he has access to thousands of books. I get to set the age appropriate limits on the book access. As we live on a tight budget, it’s great to have a one-year free subscription to Free Time.
---Billie
3. Just received this device today and I’m ready to throw it out the window. Navigation is horrible and even customer service admitted that they don’t know how to help. It’s a nightmare trying to get your free subscription set up as they just keep redirecting you to set up a 30-day trial and be charged after. I’ll be cancelling everything and sending this back as soon as possible.

4. This is a reader’s kindle. We want our children to read—not play video games all day. From the moment we received this device as a gift, our kids had immediate access to 55 books that we had purchased through our Amazon account. Now they can carry around a whole library of books. Not to mention all of the free out of copyright material that is available.

Elon Musk isn't content with electric cars, shooting people into orbit and populating Mars. He also wants to get inside your brain.
His goal is to develop devices that can provide treatment to neural(神经的)diseases-and th
at may one day be powerful enough to put humanity on an equal footing with possible future super intelligent computers.
Not that it's anywhere close to that yet.
In a video Friday obviously aimed at seeking new employees, Musk showed off the second version of the Neuralink, a device about the size of a large coin. It's designed to be put in a person's head. An earlier version of the device has to be placed behind an ear like a huge hearing aid.
But the young company is far from having a commercial product, which would involve complex human trials and governmental approval. Friday's video showed three pigs. One, named Gertrude, had a Neuralink device in its brain.
Musk, a founder of both the electric car company Tesla Motors and the space-exploration firm SpaceX, has always been worried about that smarter AI machines will outwit humans. His solution? Link our brains to computers so we can keep up with or even win over them in intelligence!
Musk urged coders(程序员)，engineers and especially people who have actually created a product to apply. "You don't need to have brain experience,“ he said, adding that this is something that can be learned on the job.
Connecting a brain up directly to electronics is not new. Doctors have already put similar devices in brains to treat such conditions as Parkinson's disease. In 2016, researchers reported that a man regained some movement in his own hand with a similar brain implant. But Musk's proposal goes beyond this. Neuralink wants to build on those existing medical treatments and work on devices that could link our brains to computers one day.
4．What can we learn about the first version of the Neuralink?
A．It is smaller than a hearing aid.    B．It can be put in a person's head.
C．It has to be placed behind the ear.    D．It is already available at the market.
5．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “outwit” in paragraph 6?
A．Copy.    B．Defeat.    C．Understand.    D．Destroy.
6．What kind of candidates does Elon Musk particularly want?
A．Someone who also wants to create the same device.
B．Doctors who already know how to treat brain diseases.
C．People who have already designed some unique product.
D．Engineers who are good at linking brains to computers.
7．Where is this text likely from?
A．An advertisement.    B．A test report.    C．A science fiction.    D．A news report.
Language is the bridge that connects people everywhere. On April 20, people around the world celebrated the United Nations Chinese Language Day. To mark the occasion, the UN Office at Geneva, Switzerland, organized the first Chinese Language Video Festival (CLVF).
