Here are four of them to feed your imagination. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson How did it all begin? And how did we get here? Combining history and science, the book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1,000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience. Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the cutting-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station. Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language. Deep Time by Riley Black Want to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet. The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments. It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology. Yet, measuring the size of some objects on the photos is difficult due to the lack of a scale bar (比例尺). 1. Which book is organized in the format of question and answer? A. A Short History of Nearly Everything. B. Thing Explainer. C. Ask an Astronaut. D. Deep Time. 2. What’s a shortcoming of Thing Explainer? A. It is rather too long. B. It is written in plain language. C. It lacks technical terms. D. It fails to include clear images. 3. What do A Short History of Nearly Everything and Deep Time have in common? A. They combine science and history. B. They feature vivid illustrations. C. They introduce astronauts’ daily life. D. They entertain readers of all ages. B As a boy, I wanted to go to the South Pole. As a teenager, I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I haven't done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic. I was traveling with a film crew from Northern Ireland, following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who, in the 1850s, sailed from Scotland to the Arctic. As an early adventure tourist, he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world. As we sailed north, icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat. Finally, we reached our destination—English Bay, where Dufferin landed- and stepped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach. This was what I'd dreamt of: standing somewhere so pure and primitive. However, for many early polar explorers, the results were far less pleasant. The south, in particular, was source of extreme danger. My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Emest Shackleton. He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure. The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known: he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole. So why do explorers put themselves at such risk? Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge. Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans.” “With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets of inconceivable extent, you have the feeling of living over the control of death,” said Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer. On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm. We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature. We should be grateful for the great explorers’ spirit and stories. I know I am. 4. Why did the author begin his adventure tour? A. To assist a film crew B. To realize a childhood dream C. To memorize Lord Dufferin D. To challenge a world record 5. Which of the following best explains "inconceivable" underlined in paragraph 7? A. Hard to control B. Too far to reach C. Hard to imagine D. Too bright to view 6. What happened during the writer's journey? A. They were trapped in icebergs B. They were kept off the destination C. They were attacked by a storm D. They were rescued by explorers 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Appeal of the Ends of the World B. The Dream of Traveling to the Arctic C. The Victory over the Control of Death D. The Gratitude to Great Explorers Spirit C Scientists have recently discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using video s shot by some extraordinary helpers. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean. As a shelter for many sea creatures, sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as seagrass meadows, which help clean the ocean water. More importantly, they are called “ocean lung”. They help in the fight against the climate crisis. That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon — the major source of global warming. Considering the urgent need to protect seagrass meadows and the challenges to spot them scientists decided to have tiger sharks help the research. Tiger sharks are inborn fast swimmers, and spend a lot of time in seagrass meadows. Between 2016 and 2020, the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks, and then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles. Moreover, other tools were used, including satellite images, as well as images taken by divers and boats. Putting all this information together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest seagrass meadow ever discovered. Different from previous studies, the program discovers how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Shipley, a scientist from the team says animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed. 8. Why do seagrass meadows urgently need protection? A. Damaging them will worsen climate crisis. B. They determine the cleanliness of ocean water. C. Sea creatures can’t survive without their shelter. D. Their existence balances the underwater ecosystem. 9. How did tiger sharks help the scientific research? A. By tracking signals scientists sent. B. By bringing back cameras with videos. C. By carrying the recording equipment around. D. By spending a lot of time in seagrass meadows. 10. What is the highlight about the research according to the text? A. Leading scientists. B. Advanced theories. C. Multiple experimental tools. D. Unusual research assistants. 11. In which column is the text most probably taken from? A. Health. B. Nature. C. Sports. D. Travel. D A Hollywood- quality movie may soon be only a few text prompts (提词) away. OpenAI last week revealed its latest, world- shocking technology: a text-to-video app called Sora that can produce photorealistic short videos lasting up to a minute. The company hasn’t released Sora to the public yet, but the artificially generated videos it created for its demonstration were stunning. In one, the detailed prompt involves people walking through Tokyo while cherry blossoms are flying through the wind. The resulting video was a mind- blowing exercise in world- building, showing a couple walking in a detailed streets cape that is unmistakably Tokyo. Perhaps even more awe-inspiring is that Sora does not merely produce videos that fulfill the demands of the prompts. It improvises (即兴创作) in a way that suggests a talent for storytelling. “Good heavens,” said Loz Blain in New Atlas. “We’d better try to deal with the speed at which this technology is advancing. The wheel, the steam engine, the airplane, the computer, the Internet… None of them ever sped up like this. If you look closely, you can tell that these very short videos aren’t real. But it’s impossible to say whether this technology is nearly as good as it’s going to get Videos made a year ago, using the AI tool Mid journey, couldn’t even display the correct number of fingers on a hand. But Sora now creates a world as you describe. Get ready for the next wave of ‘AI disruption (颠覆)’ as Sora shakes the entertainment industry.” Yet costs are increasing too. Estimates of the cost of building out AI systems have varied from hundreds of billions to 7 trillion dollars over the coming years. Where’s the money going to come from? With OpenAI’s current valuation approaching $100 billion, traditional investors are largely priced out. Governments may be one possible solution, but many are likely to have national security concerns about backing this technology. Such concerns are well founded. It’s simply impossible to know how these systems will be misuse d until they’re out in the wild. While OpenAI has the ability to prevent violent pictures, disinformation is much harder to police. Faked videos could so w confusion and chaos. At the very least, OpenAI should wait until after November to bring Sora to the public. 12. Why does the author mention the resulting video in paragraph 2? A. To show Sora has a better gift for writing stories. B. To show Sora has the potential to create great videos. C. To show the video is as good as a Hollywood- quality one. D To show the video is a stunning result of human wisdom. 13. What is Loz Blain’s attitude towards the future of Sora? A. Dismissive. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Objective. 14. What can be inferred about the technology from the last two paragraphs? A. It is bound to cause confusion and chaos. B. Traditional investment in it is a possible option. C. Governments are doubtful about its development. D. Possible problems related to its use remain to be seen. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce Sora as a rising star of video- making. B. To criticize Sora’s troublesome effects on public safety. C. To advertise Sora as an admirable genius at storytelling. D. To popularize Sora’s potential as promoter of film industry. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法论) that redefines how you approach your life and work.

But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 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。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市育才中学校高2025届高三定时训练（一） 英语试题 2024. 9 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。每段对话后有一个小题，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。 1.

As a teenager, I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I haven't done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic. I was traveling with a film crew from Northern Ireland, following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who, in the 1850s, sailed from Scotland to the Arctic. As an early adventure tourist, he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world. As we sailed north, icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat. Finally, we reached our destination—English Bay, where Dufferin landed- and stepped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach. This was what I'd dreamt of: standing somewhere so pure and primitive. However, for many early polar explorers, the results were far less pleasant. The south, in particular, was source of extreme danger. My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Emest Shackleton. He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure. The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known: he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole. So why do explorers put themselves at such risk? Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge. Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans.” “With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets of inconceivable extent, you have the feeling of living over the control of death,” said Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer. On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm. We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature. We should be grateful for the great explorers’ spirit and stories. I know I am. 4. Why did the author begin his adventure tour? A. To assist a film crew B. To realize a childhood dream C. To memorize Lord Dufferin D. To challenge a world record 5. Which of the following best explains "inconceivable" underlined in paragraph 7? A. Hard to control B. Too far to reach C. Hard to imagine D. Too bright to view 6. What happened during the writer's journey? A. They were trapped in icebergs B. They were kept off the destination C. They were attacked by a storm D. They were rescued by explorers 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Appeal of the Ends of the World B. The Dream of Traveling to the Arctic C. The Victory over the Control of Death D. The Gratitude to Great Explorers Spirit 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为了实现童年去南极的梦想，跟随一个来自北爱尔兰的电影摄制组旅行，介绍了一路上的所见所闻和所感。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a boy, I wanted to go to the South Pole. As a teenager, I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I haven't done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic.(小时候，我想去南极。十几岁的时候，我决定我也要去北极。然而，我什么都没做。我花了31年才到达北极)”以及第四段中“This was what I'd dreamt of: standing somewhere so pure and primitive. (这就是我所梦想的：站在一个如此纯净和原始的地方)”可知，作者开始他的冒险之旅是为了实现童年的梦想。故选B。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge. Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans.”(这在很大程度上似乎取决于挑战的纯粹性。Scott谈到了一个“人类无法触及和看不见的地方”的吸引力)”以及画线词上文“With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets of”和后文“you have the feeling of living over the control of death”可知，南极是人类无法触及和看不见的地方，所以挪威探险家Fridtjof Nansen说“看到覆盖着难以想象的冰盖的闪亮土地，你会有一种生活在死亡控制之下的感觉。”故画线词意思和C选项“难以想象”最接近。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm.(在归途中，天气变了，我们被滞留了几天，由暴风雨摆布)”可知，作者在旅途中被暴风雨袭击了。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As a boy, I wanted to go to the South Pole. As a teenager, I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I haven't done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic.(小时候，我想去南极。十几岁的时候，我决定我也要去北极。然而，我什么都没做。我花了31年才到达北极)”结合文章主要讲述了作者为了实现童年去南极的梦想，跟随一个来自北爱尔兰的电影摄制组旅行，介绍了一路上的所见所闻和所感。可知，A选项“世界尽头的吸引力”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C Scientists have recently discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using video s shot by some extraordinary helpers. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean. As a shelter for many sea creatures, sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as seagrass meadows, which help clean the ocean water. More importantly, they are called “ocean lung”. They help in the fight against the climate crisis. That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon — the major source of global warming. Considering the urgent need to protect seagrass meadows and the challenges to spot them, scientists decided to have tiger sharks help the research. Tiger sharks are inborn fast swimmers, and spend a lot of time in seagrass meadows. Between 2016 and 2020, the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks, and then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles. Moreover, other tools were used, including satellite images, as well as images taken by divers and boats. Putting all this information together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest seagrass meadow ever discovered. Different from previous studies, the program discovers how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Shipley, a scientist from the team says animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed. 8. Why do seagrass meadows urgently need protection? A. Damaging them will worsen climate crisis. B. They determine the cleanliness of ocean water. C. Sea creatures can’t survive without their shelter. D. Their existence balances the underwater ecosystem. 9. How did tiger sharks help the scientific research? A. By tracking signals scientists sent. B. By bringing back cameras with videos. C. By carrying the recording equipment around. D. By spending a lot of time in seagrass meadows. 10. What is the highlight about the research according to the text? A. Leading scientists. B. Advanced theories. C. Multiple experimental tools. D. Unusual research assistants. 11. In which column is the text most probably taken from? A. Health. B. Nature. C. Sports. D. Travel. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们发现了世界上已知的最大的海草场。他们使用一些不寻常的助手拍摄的视频来做到这一点。这项工作有助于保护海草，同时也展示了一种探索海洋的强大方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They help in the fight against the climate crisis. That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon — the major source of global warming.(它们有助于对抗气候危机。这是因为它们储存了大量的碳——全球变暖的主要来源)”可知，海草草场迫切需要保护是因为破坏它们将加剧气候危机。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Between 2016 and 2020, the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks, and then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles. Moreover, other tools were used, including satellite images, as well as images taken by divers and boats.(在2016年至2020年期间，研究人员在七只虎鲨的鳍上安装了摄像头和其他追踪器，然后又放了它们。这些相机被设计成在几小时后脱落并漂浮到水面上。跟踪信号帮助找到了漂浮的摄像头，并收集了鲨鱼在几英里外旅行时拍摄的视频。此外，还使用了其他工具，包括卫星图像以及潜水员和船只拍摄的图像)”可知，虎鲨是通过随身携带记录设备帮助科学研究的。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Different from previous studies, the program discovers how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Shipley, a scientist from the team says animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed.(与之前的研究不同，该项目发现了大型水下动物在帮助了解更多海底生命方面的有用性。该团队的科学家奥利弗·希普利说，像虎鲨这样的动物将带我们去我们不知道存在的新地方)”可推知，根据文章，研究的亮点是不同寻常的研究辅助助手——即虎鲨，故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have recently discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using video s shot by some extraordinary helpers. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean.(科学家最近发现了世界上已知的最大的海草场。他们使用了一些非凡的帮手拍摄的视频。这项工作应该有助于保护海草，也展示了一种探索海洋的有力方式)”并结合科学家利用虎鲨拍摄的视频来探究海草保护工作的内容可知，文章应选自“自然”专栏。故选B项。 D A Hollywood- quality movie may soon be only a few text prompts (提词) away. OpenAI last week revealed its latest, world- shocking technology: a text-to-video app called Sora that can produce photorealistic short videos lasting up to a minute. The company hasn’t released Sora to the public yet, but the artificially generated videos it created for its demonstration were stunning. In one, the detailed prompt involves people walking through Tokyo while cherry blossoms are flying through the wind. The resulting video was a mind- blowing exercise in world- building, showing a couple walking in a detailed streets cape that is unmistakably Tokyo. Perhaps even more awe-inspiring is that Sora does not merely produce videos that fulfill the demands of the prompts. It improvises (即兴创作) in a way that suggests a talent for storytelling. “Good heavens,” said Loz Blain in New Atlas. “We’d better try to deal with the speed at which this technology is advancing. The wheel, the steam engine, the airplane, the computer, the Internet… None of them ever sped up like this. If you look closely, you can tell that these very short videos aren’t real. But it’s impossible to say whether this technology is nearly as good as it’s going to get Videos made a year ago, using the AI tool Mid journey, couldn’t even display the correct number of fingers on a hand. But Sora now creates a world as you describe. Get ready for the next wave of ‘AI disruption (颠覆)’ as Sora shakes the entertainment industry.” Yet costs are increasing, too. Estimates of the cost of building out AI systems have varied from hundreds of billions to 7 trillion dollars over the coming years. Where’s the money going to come from? With OpenAI’s current valuation approaching $100 billion, traditional investors are largely priced out. Governments may be one possible solution, but many are likely to have national security concerns about backing this technology. Such concerns are well founded. It’s simply impossible to know how these systems will be misuse d until they’re out in the wild. While OpenAI has the ability to prevent violent pictures, disinformation is much harder to police. Faked videos could so w confusion and chaos. At the very least, OpenAI should wait until after November to bring Sora to the public. 12 Why does the author mention the resulting video in paragraph 2? A. To show Sora has a better gift for writing stories. B. To show Sora has the potential to create great videos. C To show the video is as good as a Hollywood- quality one. D. To show the video is a stunning result of human wisdom. 13. What is Loz Blain’s attitude towards the future of Sora? A. Dismissive. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Objective. 14. What can be inferred about the technology from the last two paragraphs? A. It is bound to cause confusion and chaos. B. Traditional investment in it is a possible option. C. Governments are doubtful about its development. D. Possible problems related to its use remain to be seen. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce Sora as a rising star of video- making. B. To criticize Sora’s troublesome effects on public safety. C. To advertise Sora as an admirable genius at storytelling. D. To popularize Sora’s potential as promoter of film industry. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。详细报道了OpenAI公司最新发布的一项技术——Sora文本到视频应用程序，并对其可能带来的影响进行了深入分析和讨论。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The company hasn’t released Sora to the public yet, but the artificially generated videos it created for its demonstration were stunning. In one, the detailed prompt involves people walking through Tokyo while cherry blossoms are flying through the wind. The resulting video was a mind- blowing exercise in world- building, showing a couple walking in a detailed streets cape that is unmistakably Tokyo. Perhaps even more awe-inspiring is that Sora does not merely produce videos that fulfill the demands of the prompts. It improvises (即兴创作) in a way that suggests a talent for storytelling. (那个公司尚未向公众发布Sora，但该公司为演示而制作的人工生成视频却令人惊叹。在其中一段视频中，详细的提示涉及人们在东京漫步，而樱花在风中飞舞。最终生成的视频展现了一个令人惊叹的世界构建练习，视频中一对情侣走在一个细节丰富的街道上，那无疑是东京。更令人惊叹的是，Sora不仅仅产生符合提示需求的视频。它以即兴创作的方式展现了讲故事的才能。)”可知，本段提到制作的视频是为了证明Sora有潜力创造出很棒的视频。故选B项。 13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Good heavens,” said Loz Blain in New Atlas. “We’d better try to deal with the speed at which this technology is advancing. The wheel, the steam engine, the airplane, the computer, the Internet… None of them ever sped up like this. If you look closely, you can tell that these very short videos aren’t real. But it’s impossible to say whether this technology is nearly as good as it’s going to get Videos made a year ago, using the AI tool Mid journey, couldn’t even display the correct number of fingers on a hand. But Sora now creates a world as you describe. Get ready for the next wave of ‘AI disruption (颠覆) ’ as Sora shakes the entertainment industry.” (“天哪，”Loz Blain在《新亚特兰蒂斯》杂志上说道，“我们最好试着跟上这项技术发展的速度。轮子、蒸汽机、飞机、计算机、互联网……它们的发展速度都没有这么快。如果你仔细观察，你会发现这些非常短的视频并不是真实的。但很难说这项技术是否已经达到了它的最佳状态。一年前，使用AI工具Mid journey制作的视频甚至无法正确显示手上的手指数量。但现在，Sora可以根据你的描述创造一个世界。随着Sora颠覆娱乐业，准备好迎接下一波‘AI颠覆’吧。”)”可知，Loz Blain对Sora的未来发展持乐观态度，认为我们应该为下一波“人工智能颠覆”做好准备，因为Sora将会震撼娱乐业。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Governments may be one possible solution, but many are likely to have national security concerns about backing this technology. (政府可能是一个可行的解决方案，但许多政府可能会担心支持这项技术会对国家安全产生影响。)”以及最后一段“Such concerns are well founded. It’s simply impossible to know how these systems will be misuse d until they’re out in the wild. While OpenAI has the ability to prevent violent pictures, disinformation is much harder to police. Faked videos could so w confusion and chaos. At the very least, OpenAI should wait until after November to bring Sora to the public. (这些担忧是有根据的。在这些系统被投入实际应用之前，我们根本无法知道它们会如何被滥用。虽然OpenAI有能力防止暴力图片的出现，但虚假信息却更难监管。伪造的视频可能会引发混乱。至少，OpenAI应该等到11月之后再向公众推出Sora。)”可知，人们无法知道这些系统如何被滥用，直到它们被广泛使用。虽然OpenAI有能力阻止暴力图片，但虚假信息更难监管，伪造的视频可能会引起混乱。因此，可以推断出与该技术使用相关的可能问题还有待观察。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A Hollywood- quality movie may soon be only a few text prompts (提词) away. OpenAI last week revealed its latest, world- shocking technology: a text- to- video app called Sora that can produce photorealistic short videos lasting up to a minute. (一部好莱坞质量的电影可能很快就能通过几个文字提示完成制作。OpenAI上周公布了其最新、震惊世界的技术：一个名为Sora的文本转视频应用程序，可以制作出长达一分钟的逼真短片。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一款名为Sora的文本转视频应用程序，该程序可以制作逼真的短片，展示了其在视频制作领域的潜力和优势。因此，文章的目的是介绍Sora作为视频制作的新星。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法论) that redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. ___16___ However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components: ___17___ Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future. Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it. Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. ___18___ Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead. Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done. Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. ___19___ Try using an “after-action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you move forward. Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. ___20___ A little stress can push you to be more productive, but too much will have the opposite effect, so using the GTD method can really make you calm and confident. A. Seize whatever is coming into your head. B. Note down the main concerns in your daily life. C. Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan. D. Then you have all in place and work toward goal completion gradually. E. The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book. F. This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something. G. You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some task. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对生活和工作的一种方法——GTD方法的五个核心部分。 【16题详解】 根据下文的“However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components”(这一方法可以很容易地分解为五个主要部分)。由此可推断出，人们认为这个方法的内容很繁杂，正好对应E项（GTD这个方法涉及的东西可能足以写满一本书。），且与下文形成转折关系，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 设空处为本段的主旨句。根据下文“Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.”（ 把这些都写下来，写在计划表或文件上，不要跳过任何东西，即使它看起来无关紧要。将来你会发现它在某种程度上是有用的。）可知，本段主要介绍了即便事情看起来无关紧要，也都要写在计划表上或者文档里，不要遗漏任何事情。你会发现将来这会在某种程度上有所帮助。由此可知，A项（抓住所有在你脑海中冒出的想法。）可概括本段的大意。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据下文的“Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.”（那么考虑是否要丢弃或者稍后再处理它）可知，选项承接下文说明是什么导致虑是否要丢弃或者稍后再处理它。故G项（你可能发现某项任务没有可行的步骤。）切题。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis.”（要经常反思和定期检查你所整理的材料）由此可知，F项（这就意味着你要在每个周一检查、更新或修订一些东西。）对这一部分进一步解释说明。选项中的every Monday呼应了上文的on a regular basis。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself.”（你已经有了任务和行动项目的列表，一个有日期和参考资料的组织系统以及一个可以自查的时间表）可知，这是GTD方法的最后一个部分，可知，都准备好了，可以去做了。由此可知，D项（万事俱备，你可以逐步完成目标了。）可承接上文，且符合本段主旨。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a chief resident (进修医生), I often wondered when I would become a “surgeon”.

But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 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。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para.1 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I hastily and quickly glued together what I pulled out from our recycle bin, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. Several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed constructions. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was obvious that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had. Para.2 That taught me a great lesson. I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks on time, but also I felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了有拖延症的作者在面对老师布置的项目时，拖延到最后一天慌忙潦草地完成，结果很糟糕，作者从中吸取了教训，不再拖延的故事。家人对作者的拖延而担忧，作者在无理地辩护。一次，大学老师提前一个月布置了期末任务，作者拖延到最后一天才匆忙潦草地完成，看到别人因付出了很多时间而受到表扬的优秀作品，作者感到从中吸取了教训，不再做一个拖延者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不知不觉中，我只剩下一天的时间来完成这个项目了。”可知，第一段可描写作者因为拖延到最后一天完成作业，手忙脚乱地匆忙完成，结果很糟糕。其他人的优秀作品受到了表扬，作者感到尴尬。 ②由第二段首句内容“那件事给了我很大的教训。”可知，第二段可描写作者为做到不拖延而做的努力和成功，更早地处理事情，不再是一个拖延者。 2.续写线索：作者拖延症严重——家人为其担忧——作者无理辩护——老师布置期末任务——拖延到最后潦草完成——结果糟糕——感到尴尬——吸取教训——不再拖延 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.颤抖：shaking/ trembling/quivering ②.处理：tackled/dealt with/handled ③.完成：finish/accomplish/complete 情绪类 ①. 高度赞扬：highly praised/speak highly of/highly acclaimed ②. 尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward/abashed 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
