Losing an eye might be unthinkable, especially for a young woman, but not for Xintong. She chose to become an ocularist(义眼师)who makes prosthetic eyes(义眼)for herself and people in the same situation to help them get back their confidence. Xintong is the name that she gave to herself-which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name—because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils(瞳孔)”.
Nearly 10 years after losing her right eye in a car accident, 28-year-old Xintong from Beijing transformed the hollow of her eye socket(窝)—a “flaw” she used to hide-into a fashion statement. She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white.
The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.
“The prosthetic eye I wore at that time was torturing me,” Xintong said. “It hurt and gave me a red and swollen eye socket, and it looked so dull and fake. I was young and I wanted to look attractive.”
She took matters into her own hands and began researching prosthetic eyes. Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.
She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars, cartoon characters and effects like colored contact lenses(隐形眼镜片). Now when Xintong hears her customers say words such as “Finally, I can accept myself” or “Now I feel free to take selfies”, she feels deeply moved.
4. Why did Xintong give the name “Xintong” to herself?
A To attract more people. B. To forget her real name.
C. To look like new pupils. D. To start a brand-new life.
5. Why did the video gain much popularity on social media?
A. The prosthetic eyes had various colors.
B. She cured her hollow by waving her hand.
C. She changed “flaw” into a fashionable state.
D. Many comments praised her for her mindfulness.
6. What can we learn about Xintong from paragraph 5?
A. She began researching prosthetic eyes on her own.
B. She dreamed of setting up her own prosthetic eye studio.
C. She was able to offer some specific services on prosthetic eyes.
D. She paid no attention to grasping the production techniques and skills.
7. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Xintong is a woman with strong determination and creativity.
B. A great many customers are deeply moved by Xintong’s artworks.
C. Becoming an ocularist helped Xintong gain much recognition and profit.
D. Xintong decided to become a doctor to cure blindness after the car accident.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文,介绍了失去一只眼睛义眼师Xintong,为像她一样处境的人制作义眼,给他们带去自信的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Xintong is the name that she gave to herself-which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name—because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils(瞳孔)”. (Xintong是她给自己起的名字——她更喜欢别人叫她这个名字而不是她的真名——因为Xintong在中文里听起来像“新的瞳孔”。)”可知,给自己取名Xintong是因为,这个名字代表着有了新的眼睛,她想要通过这个名字开始全新的生活。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white. (她在网上分享了一个短视频,视频中她戴着一只发光的假眼。当她挥手时,假眼开始发出红光。再来一波,光就变成绿色,然后变成紫色和白色。)”及第三段“The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. (这段视频很快在社交媒体上疯传,许多评论称赞她“有创意”、“美丽”、“乐观”。)”可知,Xintong将“缺陷”变成了时髦的状态,这让视频在社交媒体上流行起来。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.(这段旅程让她建立了自己的义眼工作室,为有需要的人提供个性化的服务)”可知,Xintong能够提供一些关于义眼的特定服务。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them. (从2019年开始,她花了大约两年的时间在眼科医生的指导下掌握制作技术和技能。这段旅程让她建立了自己的义眼工作室,为有需要的人提供个性化的服务。)”及文章最后一段“She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars, cartoon characters and effects like colored contact lenses(隐形眼镜片). (她制作义眼就像在创作艺术品一样。有时她还会根据顾客的需求画一些特殊的图案:闪烁的星星、卡通人物和彩色隐形眼镜等效果。)”可知,Xintong花费很久时间研究并训练技能,她有坚强决心;且她创造了美丽的义眼,就像艺术作品,她有创造力。故选A项。
C
Improved mental health is on the agenda for many people in 2024 and being organized is the preferred method of realizing it.
Disorganization is often considered to have a negative impact on the way we see ourselves and the lives we lead. The studied downsides of living in a disorganized environment include memory problems, poor eating habits, and decreased self-control. “There’s an obvious link between increased stress and anxiety disorders and living in a messy space,” says Daniel Levitin, a behavioral neuroscientist (行为神经科学家) at McGill University.
“Disorganization brings a loss of productivity that is difficult to quantify (量化),” says Levitin. He points to the amount of time people lose looking for lost items, missing appointments, or falling behind at work or school because of disordered living. “The average person likely loses 5 percent of their time due to disorganization,” he says. “Take your annual salary, multiply that by 5 percent, and you can measure what disorganization may be costing you.”
Joseph Ferrari, one of the most recognized scholars on disorganization research, says that nearly every mental health downside that comes from disorganization can be improved by getting organized. “You’ll feel more energetic, enhance your productivity in the office, and greatly improve the quality of your life,” he says.
Tidy homes have been found to be a predictor of physical health. “Those whose houses are cleaner are more active and physically healthy,” says Libby Sander, an assistant professor of organizational behavior. Part of this is due to organized people being better at managing their time, but it’s also because research demonstrates that less clutter can help improve one’s diet. “Studies show an association between clutter and overweight,” says Libby.
Getting organized has also been shown to decrease one’s stress levels, increase personal efficiency, and even improve sleep. Another studied advantage of getting organized may be improving the quality of one’s relationships. Libby explains that relationships can be negatively impacted when too much clutter affects communication or distracts one’s brain from noticing important message from their partner. Research shows this can cause others to feel ignored, misunderstood, or unimportant.
8. What does Levitin say concerning living a disorganized life?
A. It has been well realized by people.
B. It’s many people’s New Year resolution.
C. It has an obvious impact on mental state.
D. It’s closely related to the living environment.
9. How does Levitin support his opinion?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By repeating other experts’ words. D. By referring to previous studies.
10. What does the word “clutter” mean in paragraph 5?
A. decoration. B. mess. C. furniture. D. light.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Neuroscience Behind Healthy Minds
B. The Cost of Chaos — How Disorganization Affects Your Life
C. Mental Health in 2024 — Self-control as a Priority
D. Organize for Success — Boosting Health and Productivity
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了混乱如何影响人们的生活。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““There’s an obvious link between increased stress and anxiety disorders and living in a messy space,” says Daniel Levitin, a behavioral neuroscientist (行为神经科学家) at McGill University.( McGill University大学的行为神经科学家Daniel Levitin说道:“压力增加、焦虑症与生活在凌乱的空间之间存在明显的联系。”)可知,生活的杂乱无章对精神状态有明显的影响,故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“He points to the amount of time people lose looking for lost items, missing appointments, or falling behind at work or school because of disordered living. “The average person likely loses 5 percent of their time due to disorganization,” he says. “Take your annual salary, multiply that by 5 percent, and you can measure what disorganization may be costing you.”(他指出,由于生活混乱,人们花在寻找丢失物品、错过约会或落后于工作或学习上的时间很多。他说:“一般人可能会因为杂乱无章而浪费5%的时间。把你的年薪乘以5%,你就可以计算出混乱可能给你带来的损失。”)可知,Levitin通过举例说明支持他的观点,故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段划线词clutter前的内容“Tidy homes have been found to be a predictor of physical health. “Those whose houses are cleaner are more active and physically healthy,” says Libby Sander, an assistant professor of organizational behavior. Part of this is due to organized people being better at managing their time, (整洁的家被发现预示着身体健康。组织行为学助理教授Libby Sander说:“房子更干净的人更活跃,身体也更健康”。部分原因是因为整洁的人善于管理他们的时间)”可知,前文提到整洁与身体健康之间有着直接的关系,房间更干净的人更活跃,身体也更健康,故此处划线词clutter与B项“mess(混乱)”意思相近,也就是说研究表明,整洁的人善于管理他们的时间,且减少混乱有助于改善饮食,从而让他们的身体更加健康,故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中“Disorganization is often considered to have a negative impact on the way we see ourselves and the lives we lead. The studied downsides of living in a disorganized environment include memory problems, poor eating habits, and decreased self-control.(人们通常认为,混乱会对我们看待自己和生活的方式产生负面影响。研究表明,生活在无序环境中的负面影响包括记忆问题、不良饮食习惯和自制力下降。)”并通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了混乱如何影响人们的生活,故B选项“The Cost of Chaos — How Disorganization Affects Your Life(混乱的代价——混乱如何影响你的生活) ”是最合适的标题,故选B。
D
The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
12. What makes Sora impressive?
A. Its artificial intelligence history.
B. Its extraordinary video quality.
C. Its ethical and societal influence.
D. Its written commands and prompts.
13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6?
A. The company’s current challenge.
B. The company’s advanced technology.
C. The company’s problems in management.
D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
14. What can we infer from the text?
A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora?
A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器Sora,文章介绍了其特点以及其争议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.(但OpenAI显示的高质量视频——其中一些是在首席执行官Sam Altman要求社交媒体用户发送书面提示的想法后发布的——让观察者感到惊讶。)”可知,Sora让人印象深刻的是其非凡的视频质量,故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第六段“The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially(对立地)testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”(该公司补充说,它正在与“红队成员”合作开发Sora。红队成员试图发现问题并提出有用的建议。该公司表示:“我们与红队合作,他们将对该模式进行对立的测试。我们还在构建一些工具来帮助检测误导性内容,比如一个检测分类器,它可以判断视频是由Sora生成的。”)可知,第六段主要介绍了公司为Sora的改进所做的努力,与红队合作,并构建一些工具来帮助检测其误导性的内容,故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.( OpenAI提供的关于它是如何构建的信息有限。该公司也没有说明用于训练Sora的图像和视频来源。与此同时,视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧。)”可知,视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧,由此可推知,社会上就Sora出现了一些分歧,故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.(ChatGPT的制造商最近宣布了其向生成人工智能的下一步行动。基于旧金山的OpenAI新的文本到视频生成器Sora是一种基于书面命令(称为提示)即时制作短视频的工具。)”可知,主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器 Sora,全文作者客观的在陈述Sora的特点、社会对其的争议以及该公司为了Sora的改进所做的努力,故可推知作者对Sora的态度是中立的,故选C。

The other day, our class watch a short movie about noise pollution. The film shows us that long-term exposure noise pollution can cause 12,000 early deaths and 48,000 new case of heart disease annually in Europe alone. Never did I thought loud noises do so many damage to our health. Now, I always warn me to be considerate of the comfort of those nearby when used my electronic devices. I never yell at the top of my voice in the public. I often remind my parents to grow more plants in our yard, what absorb sound energy but clean the air as well.
【答案】1. watch →watched 2. 在noise前加to 3. case →cases 4. thought→think
5. many→much 6. me→myself 7. used→using 8. 删除the 9. what→which 10. but→and
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者观看噪音污染短片后的感悟。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意:前几天,我们班看了一部关于噪音污染的短片。根据句中时间状语The other day可知,本句谓语动词应用一般过去时态。故将watch改为watched 。
2.考查介词。句意:这部电影向我们展示了,仅在欧洲,长期暴露在噪音污染中就可能导致12000人过早死亡,每年新增48000例心脏病病例。exposure后应加介词to,意为“暴露于……”。故在noise前加to。
3.考查名词的数。句意:同上。48,000应修饰名词复数形式。故将case改为cases。
4.考查动词。句意:我从来没有想过大声喧哗会对我们的健康造成如此大的损害。本句是部分倒装句,助动词did后应跟动词原形。故将thought改为think。
5.考查形容词。句意:同上。修饰不可数名词damage,用much。故将many改为much。
6.考查反身代词。句意:现在,我总是提醒自己,在使用我的电子设备时,要考虑到附近人的舒适度。主语为I,宾语也是指“我”,应用反身代词。故将me改为myself 。
7.考查现在分词。句意:同上。句子主语I与动词use是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词。故将used改为using。
8.考查冠词。句意:我从不在公共场合大声喊叫。表示“在公共场合”应用短语in public。故将the删除。
9.考查定语从句。句意:我经常提醒父母在院子里多种植一些植物,这样既能吸收声能,又能清洁空气。此处是非限定性定语从句,先行词是plants,关系代词在定语从句中作主语,故用关系代词which引导定语从句。故将what改为which。
10.考查连词。句意:同上。根据句意可知,此处不是转折关系,而是并列关系。故将but改为and。

Losing an eye might be unthinkable, especially for a young woman, but not for Xintong. She chose to become an ocularist(义眼师)who makes prosthetic eyes(义眼)for herself and people in the same situation to help them get back their confidence. Xintong is the name that she gave to herself-which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name—because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils(瞳孔)”.
Nearly 10 years after losing her right eye in a car accident, 28-year-old Xintong from Beijing transformed the hollow of her eye socket(窝)—a “flaw” she used to hide-into a fashion statement. She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white.
The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.
“The prosthetic eye I wore at that time was torturing me,” Xintong said. “It hurt and gave me a red and swollen eye socket, and it looked so dull and fake. I was young and I wanted to look attractive.”
She took matters into her own hands and began researching prosthetic eyes. Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.
She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars cartoon characters and effects like colored contact lenses(隐形眼镜片). Now when Xintong hears her customers say words such as “Finally, I can accept myself” or “Now I feel free to take selfies”, she feels deeply moved.
4. Why did Xintong give the name “Xintong” to herself?
A. To attract more people. B. To forget her real name.
C. To look like new pupils. D. To start a brand-new life.
5. Why did the video gain much popularity on social media?
A. The prosthetic eyes had various colors.
B. She cured her hollow by waving her hand.

Improved mental health is on the agenda for many people in 2024 and being organized is the preferred method of realizing it.
Disorganization is often considered to have a negative impact on the way we see ourselves and the lives we lead. The studied downsides of living in a disorganized environment include memory problems, poor eating habits, and decreased self-control. “There’s an obvious link between increased stress and anxiety disorders and living in a messy space,” says Daniel Levitin, a behavioral neuroscientist (行为神经科学家) at McGill University.
“Disorganization brings a loss of productivity that is difficult to quantify (量化),” says Levitin. He points to the amount of time people lose looking for lost items, missing appointments, or falling behind at work or school because of disordered living. “The average person likely loses 5 percent of their time due to disorganization,” he says. “Take your annual salary, multiply that by 5 percent, and you can measure what disorganization may be costing you.”
Joseph Ferrari, one of the most recognized scholars on disorganization research, says that nearly every mental health downside that comes from disorganization can be improved by getting organized. “You’ll feel more energetic, enhance your productivity in the office, and greatly improve the quality of your life,” he says.
Tidy homes have been found to be a predictor of physical health. “Those whose houses are cleaner are more active and physically healthy,” says Libby Sander, an assistant professor of organizational behavior. Part of this is due to organized people being better at managing their time, but it’s also because research demonstrates that less clutter can help improve one’s diet. “Studies show an association between clutter and overweight,” says Libby.
Getting organized has also been shown to decrease one’s stress levels, increase personal efficiency, and even improve sleep. Another studied advantage of getting organized may be improving the quality of one’s relationships. Libby explains that relationships can be negatively impacted when too much clutter affects communication or distracts one’s brain from noticing important message from their partner. Research shows this can cause others to feel ignored, misunderstood, or unimportant.
8. What does Levitin say concerning living a disorganized life?
A. It has been well realized by people.
B. It’s many people’s New Year resolution.
C. It has an obvious impact on mental state.
D. It’s closely related to the living environment.
9. How does Levitin support his opinion?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By repeating other experts’ words. D. By referring to previous studies.
10. What does the word “clutter” mean in paragraph 5?
A. decoration. B. mess. C. furniture. D. light.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A The Neuroscience Behind Healthy Minds
B. The Cost of Chaos — How Disorganization Affects Your Life
C. Mental Health in 2024 — Self-control as a Priority
D. Organize for Success — Boosting Health and Productivity

The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
12. What makes Sora impressive?
A. Its artificial intelligence history.
B. Its extraordinary video quality.
C. Its ethical and societal influence.
D. Its written commands and prompts.
13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6?
A. The company’s current challenge.
B. The company’s advanced technology.
C. The company’s problems in management.
D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
14. What can we infer from the text?
A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora?
A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious.
