|A team of scientists
developed a kind of
purple tomato by
making changes to its
DNA. These tomatoes
have much more
antioxidants (抗氧化
物). This makes the
tomatoes stay fresh
almost twice as long as
normal ones. When
scientists tested the
tomatoes on mice, the
mice that were fed the
purple tomatoes lived
about 30% longer than
mice that were fed
normal ones.|Scientists made big
progress with brain - machine
technology last year. This
lets people control
machines with their
thoughts. A company
called Neuralink put a
chip in a person's brain,
letting him move a
computer mouse and play
games just by thinking.
This could help
people who can't move
their bodies.|

|Scientists at
Stanford University have
created a liquid that
allows people to see
through the skin(皮肤)
of a mouse. When the
liquid was washed off,
the skin returned to
normal. The liquid is
made of water and
tartrazine—a yellow - orange
coloring often used in
foods. If something
similar could be made to
work on humans, it
could lead to exciting
medical improvements.|Youness Ahallal is a
French doctor. On
November 16, 2024, he
performed a special surgery
(手术) in Shanghai. His
patient, however, was
15 000 kilometers away in
Africa. It set a new world
record. The doctor
operated on the patient by
controlling a robotic arm.
The doctor believes more
patients can be saved
without worrying about the
distance (距离) with its
help.|

答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四项科技的新进展：科学家培育出紫色番茄、脑机接口技术取得突破、斯坦福大学研发出可透视鼠皮肤的液体、医生完成远程外科手术，这些展现了科技在不同领域的创新成果。
71.C 【解析】写作手法题。根据a篇中的最后三句“These tomatoes have much more antioxidants(抗氧化物). This makes the tomatoes stay fresh almost twice as long as normal ones ... the mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than mice that were fed normal ones.”可知，a篇文章通过对比紫色番茄与普通番茄的保鲜时间和喂食两种番茄的老鼠寿命长短来说明紫色番茄的优势。由此可推知，作者在a篇文章中通过作比较的写作手法来说明紫色番茄的优势。
72.C 【解析】细节信息题。根据b篇中第一段最后一句“... Neuralink put a chip in a person’s brain, letting him move a computer mouse and play games just by thinking.”可知，芯片能让人们通过意念控制电脑鼠标和玩游戏。由此可知，芯片的作用是让人们用意念控制机器。
73.B 【解析】词义猜测题和图文转换题。根据c篇中的第三句“The liquid is made of water and tartrazine — a yellow - orange coloring often used in foods.”可知，这种物质由水和tartrazine(一种常用于食品的黄橙色着色剂)构成，属于液态物质。由此可知，liquid应意为“液体”，与B项图片相符。
74.C 【解析】细节信息题。根据d篇中的第二至四句“... he performed a special surgery(手术) in Shanghai. His patient, however, was 15 000 kilometers away in Africa. It set a new world record.”可知，手术中医生与患者相距1.5万千米，创下了一项新的世界纪录。由此可知，该手术创造了远程手术的世界纪录。
75.B 【解析】主题识别题。文章介绍了四项科技的新进展：科学家培育出紫色番茄、脑机接口技术取得突破、斯坦福大学研发出可透视鼠皮肤的液体、医生完成远程外科手术，这些均属于高科技领域成果。由此可知，四篇短文的共同主题是“高科技发展”。
