When she was five years old, Sullivan contracted the bacterial eye disease trachoma (沙眼), a painful infection that left her nearly blind. When she was eight, her mother died, and two years later, her father gave up his children as he could not raise them on his own. Anne was transferred to the Perkins School for the Blind on 7 October 1880. Anne was terribly behind in her education, and the rough manners required to survive in the almshouse (救济院) made it difficult for her to fit in among a student group that was mainly composed of children of the rich. Yet, she soon closed the gap with her classmates with iron-willed determination. Sullivan underwent a series of eye operations that significantly improved her vision. In June 1886, she graduated as the best one of her class. Sullivan arrived at Helen Keller’s house on March 5, 1887. Sullivan immediately began to tea ch Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, starting with“d-o-l-1” for the doll that she had brought Keller as a present. At first, the work was slow and frustrating; Keller had no understanding of connecting objects and words. However, after a month of Sullivan’s constant and patient efforts, there was a breakthrough. As Sullivan spelled the word water in one hand while running cool water over the other, Helen Keller made the connection that the gestures symbolized “water.” Sullivan’s breakthrough in communicating with Keller came the next month when Helen realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand while running cool water over her other hand symbolized the idea of “water.” Keller later recalled, “I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten — a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me.”Having released the genie (精灵) of language out of the bottle, Keller nearly exhausted Sullivan with her zeal to learn the names of the other objects in her world. Within six months under Anne Sullivan’s guidance, Keller learned 575 words. It was no less a person than Mark Twain who described Anne Sullivan as a Miracle Worker. Sullivan not only conquered the darkness of her own early life but opened the world to a young girl cut off and alone. Anne Sullivan’s resolute spirit should inspire all of us. 4. What can we learn about Sullivan from the first two paragraphs? A. She was deserted by her father because of her illness. B. She couldn’t fit in the almshouse due to her bad manners. C. She was the best student in the Perkins School for the Blind. D. She went through a rough and tough childhood. 5. What was the biggest problem facing Keller at the start of learning words? A. She was too frustrated to learn. B. She was a slow language learner. C. She could not interact with others. D. She could not connect objects with words. 6. What can we learn from Keller’s learning process? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. A patient teacher is helpful. C. Persistence is the key to success. D. A good beginning is half done. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Miracle Teacher: Anne Sullivan B. Sullivan’s Determination to Teach C. Keller’s Rough Journey of Learning Words D. An Inspiring Language Learner: Helen Keller C In human behavioral science, bandwagon effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) where people assume that an idea or belief is true because many or most others believe in it or have adopted it. As many people already support the belief others also “join the bandwagon” and do not consider questioning the decision or if there is evidence supporting the same. Cognitive biases help people think and reason more quickly, but there is a high possibility of making mistakes. For example, when talk shows in the west had hosts wearing suits, other people started following the same trend regardless of their working conditions and climate. In India, we have climates ranging from warm to extremely hot and moderately cold conditions. It never gets cold enough for an overcoat. Also, not all shooting locations have air conditioning facilities. Even though the “suit” is not the best fit for working and climatic conditions in India, people still wear it because it is recognized by many people as classy and suitable clothes for talk shows or outdoor media events. One more fitting example for the bandwagon effect is a whole generation of teens all over the world going crazy over a “Korean” band because they were liked by many others. With all respect to the music they made and their popularity, teens were going crazy even though they didn’t understand a word of what was being listened to. Although the band was covering much needed and sensible subjects like bullying (霸凌), elitism (精英统治), and mental health, not all people following them got the true meaning of the songs. People got onto the “bandwagon” as they wanted to go along with the trend that was a hit throughout the world. We can use various debiasing (消除偏见) techniques in order to avoid falling for the bandwagon effect. One is to consider alternative options that are not necessarily supported by the majority but may be a better choice. Give yourself some time to think and understand what is it that you really need which will allow you to make decisions in a less biased manner. It’s also important to remember that going with the crowd is not entirely bad. In many situations, it can be beneficial while making a decision, as long as you can do it in a way that allows you to make reasonable decisions. 8. What may people do if they fall for the bandwagon effect? A. Trust every one around them. B. Do as most people do. C. Doubt people surrounding them. D. Make reasonable choices. 9. What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 2? A. All the hosts in talk shows wear suits. B. Indian talk show hosts love suitable suits. C. Following trend may make mistakes. D. India weather is agreeable for outdoor media events. 10. Why did a whole generation of teens across the world go mad at the “Korean” band? A. They all love the members. B. They all appreciated the lyrics. C. Most of them follow the trend. D. Most of them understand the songs. 11. What is the author’s attitude to bandwagon effect? A. Objective. B. Favourable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. D The release of OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video AI tool last month was met with a mix of worries and excitement from researchers who are concerned about misuse of the technology. The California-based company showcased Sora’s ability to create photorealistic (超级现实主义的) videos from a few short text prompts (提示词), with examples including clips of a woman walking down a neon-lit (霓虹灯闪烁的) street in Tokyo and a dog jumping between two windowsills. Tracy Harwood, a digital-culture specialist at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says she is “shocked” by the speed at which text-to-video artificial intelligence (AI) has developed. A year ago, people were laughing at an AI-produced video of the US actor Will Smith eating spaghetti. Now some researchers are worried that the technology could upend global politics in 2024. OpenAI, which also developed ChatGPT and the text-to-image technology DALL·E, first released Sora on 15 February, announcing that it was making the technology “available to red teamers to assess critical areas for harms or risks”. Red teaming’ refers to the process of conducting simulated attacks (模拟攻击) or exploration of a technology to see how it would cope with criminal activity, such as the creation of misinformation and hateful content, in the real world. Sora isn’t the first example of text-to-video technology; others include Gen-2, produced by Runway in New York City and released last year, and the Google-led Lumiere, announced in January. Harwood says she has been “underwhelmed” by some of these other products. “They are becoming more and more ordinary in what they present to you,” she says, adding that the programs require very specific prompts to get them to produce compelling (引人入胜的，可信的) content. Misinformation is a major challenge for these text-to-video technologies, Harwood adds. “We’re going to very quickly reach a point in which we are flooded with a barrage of (一连串) really compelling-looking information. That’s really worrying.” 12. Why did some researchers worry about the the release of Sora? A. Because the videos Sora creates will be untrue. B. Because Sora needs many prompts to create videos. C Because they are worried about the misuse of technology. D. Because they don’t have ability to create videos themselves. 13. What does the underlined word “upend” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Overturn. B. Update. C. Overcome. D. Disturb 14. What can we know about Sora from the passage? A. Sora is the first example of its kind. B. Sora may be helpful in real world. C. Sora is flooded with misinformation. D. Sora is an ordinary product of its kind. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The release of Sora raised questions. B. Sora is a new t hreat to global politics. C. Sora becomes a vital tool to create videos. D. Misinformation is a major challenge for Sora. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 School Rules All students are expected to read and learn the School Rules.

The gift given to me that I treasured most was a doll named Patsy. I met her in a gift shop when I was nine. On holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t even bear to part from her. At that time, my mother noticed it and at Christmas, as I received the gift from her, I was surprised to find my dream doll in the box. From then on Patsy became my baby and I loved her dearly. A month later, I was on my way to the cinema when I glimpsed some lovely gifts in pretty boxes through the window of the gift shop. Seeing them reminded me that my mother’s birthday was a few months away. Wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if I could give her something really special, just like the gift she gave me? I stepped inside and caught sight of a beautiful dress hung on the coat stand, which I was sure my mother would like. So I asked the saleswoman its price. The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me how much it would cost. But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits. She took out a notebook from under the counter and wrote my name as well as the item I wanted to buy on it, and in return I paid her five cents from my six cents pocket money. It meant no candies that day but I didn’t care. At the age of nine, I made my very first installment (分期付款)and felt like a grown-up. From then on, every Saturday on my way to the cinema, I went to the shop and paid a few cents which the lady dutifully recorded on her notebook. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day before my mother’s birthday, I paid the last two cents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The special day finally came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 西昌市 2023—2024学年度下期期中检测 高 二 英 语 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。第I卷（选择题）第1至8页，第II卷（非选择题）第9至10页， 共计10页。答题卡2页。满分150分， 考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、座位号、准考证号用 0.5毫米的黑色签字笔填写在答题卡上，并检查条形码粘贴是否正确。 2.选择题使用2B铅笔涂在答题卡对应题目标号的位置上；非选择题用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写在答题卡的对应框内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡收回。 第I卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5个小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一道小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

Her family lived in extreme poverty. When she was five years old, Sullivan contracted the bacterial eye disease trachoma (沙眼), a painful infection that left her nearly blind. When she was eight, her mother died, and two years later, her father gave up his children as he could not raise them on his own. Anne was transferred to the Perkins School for the Blind on 7 October 1880. Anne was terribly behind in her education, and the rough manners required to survive in the almshouse (救济院) made it difficult for her to fit in among a student group that was mainly composed of children of the rich. Yet, she soon closed the gap with her classmates with iron-willed determination. Sullivan underwent a series of eye operations that significantly improved her vision. In June 1886, she graduated as the best one of her class. Sullivan arrived at Helen Keller’s house on March 5, 1887. Sullivan immediately began to tea ch Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, starting with“d-o-l-1” for the doll that she had brought Keller as a present. At first, the work was slow and frustrating; Keller had no understanding of connecting objects and words. However, after a month of Sullivan’s constant and patient efforts, there was a breakthrough. As Sullivan spelled the word water in one hand while running cool water over the other, Helen Keller made the connection that the gestures symbolized “water.” Sullivan’s breakthrough in communicating with Keller came the next month when Helen realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand while running cool water over her other hand symbolized the idea of “water.” Keller later recalled, “I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten — a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me.”Having released the genie (精灵) of language out of the bottle, Keller nearly exhausted Sullivan with her zeal to learn the names of the other objects in her world. Within six months under Anne Sullivan’s guidance, Keller learned 575 words. It was no less a person than Mark Twain who described Anne Sullivan as a Miracle Worker. Sullivan not only conquered the darkness of her own early life but opened the world to a young girl cut off and alone. Anne Sullivan’s resolute spirit should inspire all of us. 4. What can we learn about Sullivan from the first two paragraphs? A. She was deserted by her father because of her illness. B. She couldn’t fit in the almshouse due to her bad manners. C. She was the best student in the Perkins School for the Blind. D. She went through a rough and tough childhood. 5. What was the biggest problem facing Keller at the start of learning words? A. She was too frustrated to learn. B. She was a slow language learner. C. She could not interact with others. D. She could not connect objects with words. 6. What can we learn from Keller’s learning process? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. A patient teacher is helpful. C. Persistence is the key to success. D. A good beginning is half done. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Miracle Teacher: Anne Sullivan B. Sullivan’s Determination to Teach C. Keller’s Rough Journey of Learning Words D. An Inspiring Language Learner: Helen Keller 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Anne Sullivan克服自身困境，成为Helen Keller的良师，通过不懈努力帮助Keller学会交流的励志故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Her family lived in extreme poverty. When she was five years old, Sullivan contracted the bacterial eye disease trachoma (沙眼), a painful infection that left her nearly blind. When she was eight, her mother died, and two years later, her father gave up his children as he could not raise them on his own.(她的家庭生活在极端贫困之中。五岁时，沙利文感染了细菌性眼病沙眼，这是一种痛苦的感染，使她几乎失明。当她八岁的时候，她的母亲去世了，两年后，她的父亲放弃了他的孩子，因为他无法独自抚养他们)”以及第二段的“Anne was terribly behind in her education, and the rough manners required to survive in the almshouse (救济院) made it difficult for her to fit in among a student group that was mainly composed of children of the rich.(安妮的教育严重落后，在济贫院生存所需的粗鲁举止使她很难融入一个主要由富人子女组成的学生群体)”可知，前两段讲述了Sullivan艰难的童年，包括家庭极度贫困、患了几乎让她失明的沙眼、母亲去世以及被父亲放弃等信息。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At first, the work was slow and frustrating; Keller had no understanding of connecting objects and words.(起初，这项工作进展缓慢，令人沮丧；凯勒不懂得把物体和文字联系起来)”可知，起初Keller面临的最大问题是无法将物体与词语相联系。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。从Keller的学习过程中，特别是在第三段提到的“However, after a month of Sullivan’s constant and patient efforts, there was a breakthrough. (然而，经过一个月沙利文不断耐心的努力，终于有了突破)”以及第四段“Sullivan’s breakthrough in communicating with Keller came the next month when Helen realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand while running cool water over her other hand symbolized the idea of “water.”(第二个月，当海伦意识到老师在她手掌上做的动作象征着“水”的概念时，沙利文在与凯勒交流方面取得了突破)”可知，经过无数的努力，Sullivan老师的手势让Keller理解了“水”的概念。由此可推断，一位耐心的老师对她的学习过程非常有帮助。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，整篇文章围绕Anne Sullivan如何克服自己早年的困难，最终成为海伦·凯勒的老师并成功教会她学习语言的过程展开，展现了Sullivan的奇迹般教学能力。所以“奇迹教师：安妮·沙利文”适合作本文的标题。故选A。 C In human behavioral science, bandwagon effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) where people assume that an idea or belief is true because many or most others believe in it or have adopted it. As many people already support the belief others also “join the bandwagon” and do not consider questioning the decision or if there is evidence supporting the same. Cognitive biases help people think and reason more quickly, but there is a high possibility of making mistakes. For example, when talk shows in the west had hosts wearing suits, other people started following the same trend regardless of their working conditions and climate. In India, we have climates ranging from warm to extremely hot and moderately cold conditions. It never gets cold enough for an overcoat. Also, not all shooting locations have air conditioning facilities. Even though the “suit” is not the best fit for working and climatic conditions in India, people still wear it because it is recognized by many people as classy and suitable clothes for talk shows or outdoor media events. One more fitting example for the bandwagon effect is a whole generation of teens all over the world going crazy over a “Korean” band because they were liked by many others. With all respect to the music they made and their popularity, teens were going crazy even though they didn’t understand a word of what was being listened to. Although the band was covering much needed and sensible subjects like bullying (霸凌), elitism (精英统治), and mental health, not all people following them got the true meaning of the songs. People got onto the “bandwagon” as they wanted to go along with the trend that was a hit throughout the world. We can use various debiasing (消除偏见) techniques in order to avoid falling for the bandwagon effect. One is to consider alternative options that are not necessarily supported by the majority but may be a better choice. Give yourself some time to think and understand what is it that you really need which will allow you to make decisions in a less biased manner. It’s also important to remember that going with the crowd is not entirely bad. In many situations, it can be beneficial while making a decision, as long as you can do it in a way that allows you to make reasonable decisions. 8. What may people do if they fall for the bandwagon effect? A. Trust every one around them. B. Do as most people do. C. Doubt people surrounding them. D. Make reasonable choices. 9. What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 2? A. All the hosts in talk shows wear suits. B. Indian talk show hosts love suitable suits. C. Following trend may make mistakes. D. India weather is agreeable for outdoor media events. 10. Why did a whole generation of teens across the world go mad at the “Korean” band? A. They all love the members. B. They all appreciated the lyrics. C. Most of them follow the trend. D. Most of them understand the songs. 11. What is the author’s attitude to bandwagon effect? A. Objective. B. Favourable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知偏见中的从众效应，即人们倾向于相信多数人支持的观点，并通过实例分析其影响及提供避免盲从的建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“In human behavioral science, bandwagon effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) where people assume that an idea or belief is true because many or most others believe in it or have adopted it. As many people already support the belief others also “join the bandwagon” and do not consider questioning the decision or if there is evidence supporting the same.(在人类行为科学中，跟风效应是一种认知偏见，人们认为一个想法或信仰是真实的，因为许多人或大多数人相信它或已经采纳了它。由于许多人已经支持这个信仰，其他人也“加入跟风”，不考虑质疑这个决定，也不考虑是否有证据支持这个决定)”可知，从众效应指的是人们倾向于接受多数人相信或采纳的观点或信念，因此如果人们受到从众效应的影响，他们很可能会跟随大多数人的做法。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For example, when talk shows in the west had hosts wearing suits, other people started following the same trend regardless of their working conditions and climate. In India, we have climates ranging from warm to extremely hot and moderately cold conditions. It never gets cold enough for an overcoat. Also, not all shooting locations have air conditioning facilities. Even though the “suit” is not the best fit for working and climatic conditions in India, people still wear it because it is recognized by many people as classy and suitable clothes for talk shows or outdoor media events.(例如，当西方的脱口秀节目主持人穿着西装时，其他人开始追随同样的趋势，无论他们的工作条件和气候如何。在印度，我们的气候从温暖到酷热，再到适度寒冷。天气永远不会冷到穿大衣的程度。此外，并非所有拍摄地点都有空调设施。尽管这种“西装”并不最适合印度的工作和气候条件，但人们仍然穿着它，因为它被许多人认为是脱口秀或户外媒体活动的经典和合适的衣服)”可知，通过印度谈话节目主持人穿西装的例子说明，即使这种着装并不适合印度的工作环境和气候条件，人们仍然效仿这一趋势。由此可推知，盲目追随潮流可能导致不合适的决策或行为，即可能犯错。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“With all respect to the music they made and their popularity, teens were going crazy even though they didn’t understand a word of what was being listened to. Although the band was covering much needed and sensible subjects like bullying (霸凌), elitism (精英统治), and mental health, not all people following them got the true meaning of the songs. People got onto the “bandwagon” as they wanted to go along with the trend that was a hit throughout the world.(就他们制作的音乐和受欢迎程度而言，青少年们都快疯了，尽管他们一句话都听不懂。尽管乐队涵盖了欺凌、精英主义和心理健康等急需且明智的主题，但并不是所有追随他们的人都能理解歌曲的真正含义。人们之所以加入“潮流”，是因为他们想顺应这一风靡全球的潮流)”可知，提到全世界一代青少年对一个“韩国”乐队疯狂追捧，即便他们听不懂歌词，也未必理解歌曲的真正含义，但他们还是跟风追崇，因为这是全球的热门趋势。所以大多数青少年是出于追随潮流而为之。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Cognitive biases help people think and reason more quickly, but there is a high possibility of making mistakes.(认知偏见有助于人们更快地思考和推理，但犯错误的可能性很高)”以及最后一段的“In many situations, it can be beneficial while making a decision, as long as you can do it in a way that allows you to make reasonable decisions.(在许多情况下，只要你能以一种能让你做出合理决定的方式来做决定，这在做决定时是有益的)”可知，作者在文中既提到了从众效应可能导致的错误决策，也提到了在某些情况下随大流可能是有益的，只要能确保做出合理的决策。这种论述方式显示出作者对于从众效应的态度是客观的，既没有一味批判也没有表示偏好，而是给出了理性的分析和建议。故选A。 D The release of OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video AI tool last month was met with a mix of worries and excitement from researchers who are concerned about misuse of the technology. The California-based company showcased Sora’s ability to create photorealistic (超级现实主义的) videos from a few short text prompts (提示词), with examples including clips of a woman walking down a neon-lit (霓虹灯闪烁的) street in Tokyo and a dog jumping between two windowsills. Tracy Harwood, a digital-culture specialist at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says she is “shocked” by the speed at which text-to-video artificial intelligence (AI) has developed. A year ago, people were laughing at an AI-produced video of the US actor Will Smith eating spaghetti. Now some researchers are worried that the technology could upend global politics in 2024. OpenAI, which also developed ChatGPT and the text-to-image technology DALL·E, first released Sora on 15 February, announcing that it was making the technology “available to red teamers to assess critical areas for harms or risks”. Red teaming’ refers to the process of conducting simulated attacks (模拟攻击) or exploration of a technology to see how it would cope with criminal activity, such as the creation of misinformation and hateful content, in the real world. Sora isn’t the first example of text-to-video technology; others include Gen-2, produced by Runway in New York City and released last year, and the Google-led Lumiere, announced in January. Harwood says she has been “underwhelmed” by some of these other products. “They are becoming more and more ordinary in what they present to you,” she says, adding that the programs require very specific prompts to get them to produce compelling (引人入胜的，可信的) content. Misinformation is a major challenge for these text-to-video technologies, Harwood adds. “We’re going to very quickly reach a point in which we are flooded with a barrage of (一连串) really compelling-looking information. That’s really worrying.” 12. Why did some researchers worry about the the release of Sora? A. Because the videos Sora creates will be untrue. B. Because Sora needs many prompts to create videos. C. Because they are worried about the misuse of technology. D. Because they don’t have ability to create videos themselves. 13. What does the underlined word “upend” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Overturn. B. Update. C. Overcome. D. Disturb 14. What can we know about Sora from the passage? A. Sora is the first example of its kind. B. Sora may be helpful in real world. C. Sora is flooded with misinformation. D. Sora is an ordinary product of its kind. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The release of Sora raised questions. B. Sora is a new t hreat to global politics. C. Sora becomes a vital tool to create videos. D. Misinformation is a major challenge for Sora. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。OpenAI发布文本转视频AI工具Sora，引发研究人员对其潜在滥用风险的担忧，担心该技术加速制造逼真假信息，影响2024年全球政治。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The release of OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video AI tool last month was met with a mix of worries and excitement from researchers who are concerned about misuse of the technology. (上个月，OpenAI的Sora文本到视频人工智能工具的发布让研究人员既兴奋又担忧，他们担心该技术被滥用。)”可知，一些研究者担心Sora的发布是因为他们担忧该技术可能被滥用。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Tracy Harwood, a digital-culture specialist at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says she is “shocked” by the speed at which text-to-video artificial intelligence (AI) has developed.

Overcome克服；D. Disturb干扰。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。从文章第三段“OpenAI, which also developed ChatGPT and the text-to-image technology DALL·E, first released Sora on 15 February, announcing that it was making the technology “available to red teamers to assess critical areas for harms or risks”. (OpenAI还开发了ChatGPT和文本到图像技术DALL·E，于2月15日首次发布了Sora，宣布它将使该技术“可供红队使用，以评估关键区域的危害或风险”。)”可以看出，Sora可能在现实世界中对于评估潜在的危害和风险有所帮助。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段中“The release of OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video AI tool last month was met with a mix of worries and excitement from researchers who are concerned about misuse of the technology. (上个月，OpenAI的Sora文本到视频人工智能工具的发布让研究人员既兴奋又担忧，他们担心该技术被滥用。)”可知，文章主要围绕Sora这一文本转视频AI工具的发布引起的担忧和其潜在的影响进行讨论，特别是对其可能被滥用以及产生误导信息的担忧。因此，最合适的文章主旨是选项A“The release of Sora raised questions (Sora的发布引发了质疑。)”，故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 School Rules All students are expected to read and learn the School Rules.

The gift given to me that I treasured most was a doll named Patsy. I met her in a gift shop when I was nine. On holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t even bear to part from her. At that time, my mother noticed it and at Christmas, as I received the gift from her, I was surprised to find my dream doll in the box. From then on Patsy became my baby and I loved her dearly. A month later, I was on my way to the cinema when I glimpsed some lovely gifts in pretty boxes through the window of the gift shop. Seeing them reminded me that my mother’s birthday was a few months away. Wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if I could give her something really special, just like the gift she gave me? I stepped inside and caught sight of a beautiful dress hung on the coat stand, which I was sure my mother would like. So I asked the saleswoman its price. The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me how much it would cost. But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits. She took out a notebook from under the counter and wrote my name as well as the item I wanted to buy on it, and in return I paid her five cents from my six cents pocket money. It meant no candies that day but I didn’t care. At the age of nine, I made my very first installment (分期付款)and felt like a grown-up. From then on, every Saturday on my way to the cinema, I went to the shop and paid a few cents which the lady dutifully recorded on her notebook. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day before my mother’s birthday, I paid the last two cents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The special day finally came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day before my mother’s birthday, I paid the last two cents. As the lady wrapped the gift in brown paper, tied it with a piece of string, and carefully put it into a gift box, I attentively signed my name on the notebook, meaning that I had paid off all my debts. I thanked her and excitedly left the shop. “Be careful you don’t lose it,” she called after me. “I won’t!” I responded. Carrying the gift, I skipped away, singing happily to myself. The special day finally came. I placed the box on the table, hopping from one foot to the other, as my mom untied the knot and slowly peeled away the brown paper. My heart was racing. Then, as I bit into my bottom lip, the content was revealed. “Do you like it?” I asked excitedly. My mom didn’t say a word, but I got the answer from her face on which the same delighted smile as mine was worn when I received Patsy from her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展为线索展开。作者9岁时在礼品店看上一个玩具娃娃，作者非常喜欢。圣诞节时，妈妈送作者礼物就是作者非常喜欢的玩具娃娃。一个月后，作者想到在妈妈生日时送妈妈一份特殊的礼物——一件漂亮的连衣裙。但当时作者没有足够的钱，售货员便建议作者以每周支付几美分的方式购买。在妈妈生日到来时，作者把礼物送给妈妈，妈妈脸上露出高兴的笑容。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈生日的前一天，我付了最后的两分钱。”可知，第一段可描写作者最后买下礼物的过程和心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“这个特别的日子终于到来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者如何把礼物送给妈妈和妈妈收到礼物后的反应。 2.续写线索：看到喜欢的玩具娃娃——收到玩具娃娃——想到送妈妈礼物——分期付款为妈妈买礼物——妈妈收到礼物——妈妈的反应 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①离开：leave/go away ②回答：respond/answer ③解开：untie/undo 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/gladly/merrily ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the lady wrapped the gift in brown paper, tied it with a piece of string, and carefully put it into a gift box, I attentively signed my name on the notebook, meaning that I had paid off all my debts.（运用由as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语以及that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] My mom didn’t say a word, but I got the answer from her face on which the same delighted smile as mine was worn when I received Patsy from her.（运用由介词+关系代词which引导的限制性定语从句和when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
