Nowadays, there are many great inventions around us. They make our lives better in amazing ways. One of them is called “Tianmouc”—the world’s first smart chip (芯片) that works like our eyes and brains. A team from Tsinghua University made it!

Tianmouc gets an idea by how our human eyes and brains work together. First, our eyes see things around us. Then, our brains understand them. Tianmouc does something similar! It uses special sensors (传感器) to break down what it sees into tiny parts. Then, Tianmouc puts them together in two ways. One is by seeing colors and details clearly as if we read a book. The other is by reacting (回应) to sudden changes quickly, just like we catch a ball.

Tianmouc is really powerful. It can do things that traditional chips can’t. For example, it’s able to collect what it sees at a very high speed of 10,000 frames (帧) per second. In some ways, it sees things more exactly than our eyes. The chip can work well in different light conditions—no matter how bright or dark the light is. All of these are achieved with very little power or energy.

Tianmouc has a big influence on our daily life. For self-driving cars, they need to “see” the road clearly and react quickly to any danger. Tianmouc can notice sudden changes quickly, like a child running across the road or a car suddenly cutting in. For the cameras, they will react faster by catching any unusual movement in the future.

Inventions like Tianmouc show how creative the humans can be! They are making our lives more convenient and safer. Who knows what amazing inventions we’ll see next?

1.1. What do we know about “Tianmouc”?

A It’s a new type of cameras that can react faster.

B It’s a special sensor for self-driving cars to see and react quickly.

C It’s the world’s first smart chip working like human eyes and brains.

D

解析：选C。第 1 题 题型：细节理解题解析：答案为 C。文章第一段明确指出天眸芯是 “the world’s first smart chip that works like our eyes and brains”，是首款类人眼脑工作的智能芯片；A 项将其定义为摄像头，与原文芯片的属性不符；B 项称其为自动驾驶汽车的传感器，而原文表明传感器是天眸芯的组成部分，并非天眸芯本身。

2.2. From Paragraph 2, we know ______.

A how Tianmouc works

B how Tianmouc helps us

C what makes

D

解析：选A。第 2 题 题型：段落主旨题解析：答案为 A。第二段核心围绕 “人类眼脑协同工作模式” 展开，详细介绍了天眸芯如何复刻这一模式完成视觉捕捉与解读，即天眸芯的工作原理；B 项 “天眸芯如何帮助我们” 是第四段的内容；C 项 “天眸芯的独特之处” 是第三段的核心。

3.3. What does the writer mean by asking “Who knows what amazing inventions we’ll see next?”?

A The writer doubts if there will be new inventions.

B The writer believes more amazing inventions will appear.

C The writer thinks inventions will mainly make cars faster.

D

解析：选B。第 3 题 题型：推理判断题解析：答案为 B。前文介绍了天眸芯的卓越性能与价值，尾句以反问句收尾，结合前文 “人类的创造力让生活更美好” 的主旨，可推断作者坚信未来会出现更多惊艳的发明；A 项 “质疑新发明的出现” 与原文情感倾向相反；C 项 “发明主要让汽车提速” 在原文中无任何依据。

4.4. Where is the passage probably from?

A A travel ad.

B A health guide.

C A science magazine.

D

解析：选C。第 4 题 题型：推理判断题解析：答案为 C。文章围绕新型科技发明天眸芯展开，介绍其研发背景、工作原理、性能优势及应用场景，属于科技类科普内容，符合科学杂志的内容定位；A 项旅游广告、B 项健康指南均与文章主题无关。
