05 单元限时小卷 1 [江苏苏州2024期末学业质量调研] AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travellers, bad news for soulful connections. Travel has long been a motivator for study—unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma? Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza. 刷阅读理解 2 As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance （忍耐力） sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analysing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in halting （结结巴巴的） German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle （微妙的） shadings on an argument, that connection is still deeper. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在人工智能可以降低学习外语的必要性这一议题上，有些人充满担心，认为这会让一些重要的东西消失，其他人则因为没有对语言的需求而不太担心。人工智能翻译普及的同时，人也会分化成两类：一部分人会挑战自己继续学习语言，另一部分人则会选择放弃学习新语言。文章指出不应该仅从学习者的角度看待语言学习，其本身的内在价值更值得关注。 1.What does the word “dwindling” in Paragraph 2 mean?( ) C A.Growing. B.Lasting. C.Declining. D.Challenging. 解析 词义猜测题。根据上文的Travel has long been a motivator for study—unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service.可知，此处介绍人工智能工具对人们学习语言的动力的负面影响。由此推知，画线词所在句表示“一些人会担心应用程序正在把语言习得变成日渐式微的追求”，由此猜测dwindling意为“越来越少的”，与declining意思一致。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 4 2.What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma” compared to?( ) A A.Using AI tools to do the translation. B.Doing the work that gives you satisfaction. C.Making an effort to learn a new language. D.Studying a language aided by technology. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines… Who would show off taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma?可知，道格拉斯·霍夫施塔特的描述突出了学习语言伴随着挑战自我、战胜自我的成就感，但是当人们通过机器交谈时，一些重要的东西，如这种成就感就会消失。由此可知，“坐直升机登上了珠穆朗玛峰”就好比“使用人工智能工具进行翻译”，前者缺失的是参与登山带来的成就感，后者缺失的是不依赖机器参与语言学习带来的成就感。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 5 3.Which of the following will the “Others” in Paragraph 4 agree with?( ) B A.People should stretch their minds in life. B.AI translation tools offer a good service. C.Extreme endurance sports are worth trying. D.Language learning builds deep connections. 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”可知，这一类人会认为学习一门新语言令人钦佩，但是不适合自己，没有必要尝试。由此可知，他们会同意“人工智能翻译工具提供了好的服务”这一观点。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 6 4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?( ) D A.Language learning benefits learners alone. B.Language learning is of value to human health. C.We should reflect on language learning methods. D.We should adopt a new angle on language learning. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，我们不能仅关注学习者，语言本身的社交本质更值得关注，学习语言会加深我们与他人之间的联系。由此可知，我们应该从一种全新的角度看待语言学习。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 7 [河北石家庄2023高二期中] Teenage years are one of the most exciting yet confusing stages in a person’s life. You are no longer a child, yet not quite an adult. 1. . One of them is your pastime. Some pastimes have no moral implications. For example, shall we play basketball or soccer? 2. . Some examples include attending a party where there will be alcohol freely given out, lying to your parents or even skipping school to watch a movie with some friends. How do you respond? Will you follow them? 刷7选5 8 Wanting to feel part of a group may force you to do things against your better judgement. However, it is okay to say no to anything that is illegal, or potentially causes harm or is hurtful to you or others. 3. . But you should not let that stop you from standing up to peer pressure and being true to yourself. If your friends are true friends, they will respect your decision and not force you to join them. There are some steps you may take to keep away from negative peer pressure. Firstly, stay away from friends who force you to do things that you know are wrong. Instead, spend more time with friends who share the same values as you. 4. . And if a situation gets out of hand, do not hesitate to approach an adult you trust for help. 刷7选5 9 It may not always be easy to resist peer pressure, but do know that you will feel good about yourself later. And even without you realising it, you may have been a catalyst in your group to bring about a positive change. 5. . A.This is when you form a new habit of making friends.

At the time, I didn’t consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunchtime together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realised it. One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me forever. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines （台词） with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to play the role of the narrator. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl. 刷读后续写 31 I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my upset, and instead of suggesting we practise my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine （藤） was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions （蒲公英） appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches （簇；串）, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we’ll only have roses in this garden.” I immediately argued, “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.” 刷读后续写 32 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 “Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having learnt what had happened, Mum patted me on the back gently and said, “You will be a beautiful narrator.” ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 刷读后续写 33 【写作提示】 1.材料导读 材料大意 作者参加了学校的戏剧表演，几经努力仍然无法在台上背出公主这一角色的台词，老师就让作者念旁白，这让作者很难过。作者的妈妈看出了作者的心事，主动和作者去庭院散心。妈妈看见庭院杂草丛里的蒲公英，想将蒲公英与杂草一起拔除，只保留玫瑰，作者则想要保留蒲公英，认为蒲公英也有属于自己的美。 故事背景 作者在学校的戏剧表演中遇到了挫折，和妈妈一起在庭院里散心。 主要角色 作者、作者的妈妈 写作顺序 时间顺序 需要解决的问题 ①妈妈想要拔除蒲公英，但是作者坚持保留蒲公英；②作者在学校的戏剧表演中遇到挫折，妈妈帮助作者解决问题。 刷读后续写 34 2.续写分析 续写第一段（提示句：“你是说每朵花都有它自己的美吗？”妈妈若有所思地问。） 由续写部分第一段首句内容可知，妈妈对作者的想法感到惊讶，结合材料中提到的“我没有告诉妈妈发生了什么，但是妈妈看出了我的烦闷”和续写部分第二段的首句内容可知，第一段可以描写妈妈借“每朵花都有自己的美”这个话题与作者谈心，引导作者说出了学校里发生的事，倾诉了自己的烦恼。续写部分可以通过动作描写和语言描写来展现作者和妈妈的互动，并结合心理描写突出作者的困扰。 刷读后续写 35 续写第二段（提示句：在得知发生了什么之后，妈妈轻轻地拍着我的背说：“你会成为一名出色的旁白员的。”） 由第二段首句可知，第二段应该是描写妈妈在得知了作者的烦恼之后，安慰了作者，并用蒲公英的例子启发作者，让作者意识到不管是公主还是旁白员，每个角色都有自己的魅力。最后可以描写作者受到了鼓励，接受了担任旁白员，出色地完成了演出。 情感变化 作者：为自己只能念旁白感到难过——犹豫是否跟妈妈倾诉——决定将自己的烦恼告诉妈妈——得到妈妈的鼓励和安慰豁然开朗——开心地接受角色——圆满完成演出，为自己感到骄傲 续表 刷读后续写 36 3.提分词句 without hesitation、pour out one’s upset、heart and soul、take pride in/be proud of/fill one’s heart with pride、现在分词短语作状语、that引导定语从句等。 刷读后续写 37 【参考范文】 “Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully. I nodded without hesitation, as if a second wasted could threaten the life of dandelions. “The same to you,” she added, her voice soft. “Not everyone can be a rose, and it is also an honour to be a dandelion.” Knowing that my mother had realised my pain, I took off the mask that I had worn for the whole lunchtime and poured out my upset heartily. Having learnt what had happened, Mum patted me on the back gently and said, “You will be a beautiful narrator.” She reminded me of how fluently I could deliver my part at home. It was at that time that I understood that maybe I was more suitable for a role backstage like a narrator. From then on, I practised my lines heart and soul with my mother at lunchtime for weeks. Eventually, the performance that night was a big success. Hearing the thunderous applause, I took pride in my role and firmly believed that even a dandelion had its own beauty. 刷读后续写 38 $$
