You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 21. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 22. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B It’s not easy for me to forget the guy, whom I call Bean. For the past year and a half, I saw Bean almost every workday morning. In the beginning I ignored Bean. After all, he’s just a beggar (乞丐) on the freeway off-ramp (匝道) who traps people at a stoplight that seems to always be red. Over time a few things dawned on (开始明白) me. The first was that it was always the same guy at this off-ramp. The next was that he never actually asked for anything. He just danced and waved at everyone. Then finally, and perhaps the most important, was that he was ALWAYS happy. Some days he was dancing and playing a guitar. Most days he’d wave a cardboard at cars, smiling. Bean slowly became part of my morning routine. I noticed this one day, only because he wasn’t there and nobody danced and waved at me. I missed him. I’m worried that something had happened to him. I started to look for him every morning as I came down the ramp to that red light. One morning, after one of these absences, I was so relieved to see him that it was like the sun had come out after a week-long storm. I sat at the red light, watching his morning dancing. I realized that I, too, was smiling and found myself waving back. Wow, something as small as a wave brought blessings to my whole day. I finished the drive to work that morning, feeling lighter and happier. I remind you now. Look around you. Look at your life, your surroundings, and even just your grocery store with eyes that truly see. What magic lies in front of you? Do you have a Bean in your life you haven’t noticed yet? Watch for them. They will touch your life in ways you can’t even dream! 24 The author calls the beggar Bean probably because _____. A. he looks like a bean B. it’s a name picked by the author at will C. he makes the author think of Mr. Bean, the comedian D. that’s his real name 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. The author never saw unhappiness on Bean’s face. B. Bean caught the author’s attention at the beginning. C. The beggar would ask drivers for money when the traffic light turned red. D. The author came across Bean nearly every day in the past 1.5 years. 26. What does the underlined word “routine” probably mean here? A. An alarm clock. B. A traffic sign. C. An activity that you habitually do as part of your life. D. A kind of exercise for better health. 27. Why did the author go and sit at the red light? A. Because he was stopped by a red light. B. Because he felt close to the beggar. C. Because Bean invited him to. D. Because it was comfortable to sit there. C Nightmares could be reduced by hearing a sound while you sleep that you previously associated with a positive ending to a bad dream during therapy (治疗). Up to 8 percent of people report having problems with nightmares. The standard treatment is image rehearsal therapy (IRT), which 30 percent of people don’t respond to. IRT involves repeating a previous nightmare but changing it to have a more positive ending. To aid memory recall, some treatments involve an individual hearing a specific sound as they form memories and then having this same sound played to them while they sleep. This is often done during the non-rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, because dreams and nightmares are more common in REM sleep. Testing the potential of this approach for nightmares, Lampros Perogamvros at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues first divided 36 people who had more than one nightmare per week into two groups. Both groups were taught how to carry out IRT themselves at home, which they did for 5 minutes a day over two weeks. Only one group, however, listened to a neutral piano tone while they carried out their IRT. During these two weeks, both groups wore a head band every night that tracked their sleep stage by discovering brain activity. When they entered REM sleep, both groups were played the tone that only one group was exposed to during their at-home IRT. This tone was played at 10 second intervals. At the end of the two weeks, the two groups both reported having more positive dreams. By carrying out this treatment in people’s homes, it could become a widespread intervention to relieve nightmares, says Mark Blagrove at Swansea University, UK. “You could not only have people treated with IRT in the clinician’s room, or therapist’s room, but people could possibly be sent home with these instruments that spot the stages of sleep and have the auditory (听觉的) signal that was played when they were doing IRT presented again during sleep.” he says. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. IRT helps memory. B. IRT makes memories form. C. Not all respond to IRT. D. The new treatment is popular. 29. How did Lampros and his colleagues test the potential of IRT? A. By analyzing data. B. By performing a survey. C. By referring to documents. D. By conducting an experiment. 30. What is Mark Blagrove’s attitude towards the treatment? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To share a discovery. B. To confirm a concept. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To make an explanation. D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions (指令). Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated (复杂的) scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals. 32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s weaknesses. C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s popularity. 33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4? A. To show Sora’s safety problems. B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses. C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 34. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has experienced testing and improvement. B. It has enjoyed great popularity. C. It has made random attacks. D. It has been applied in various industries. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT C. Sora: Known as a spacetime patch D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos 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。 Attending a concert is an activity appealing to many.

It was early in the morning and my friends, John, Tom and I were already in school, discussing the prank(恶作剧)we were going to play on our class monitor, Jane. Laughing quietly, John reached for his bag, opened the bag and showed us the frog in his bag. Tom and I couldn't hold back the laughter, thinking about what would happen. Ring! As soon as the bell rang, other students, including Jane, hurried out of the classroom. We had planned to put a frog in Jane's bag and scare her for telling Ms Tan, our headteacher, that we were playing in the classroom when there was no teacher in class. “This should teach her a lesson!” I thought, smiling to myself. Once we were the only ones left in the classroom, I took the frog from John's bag. Surveying around to make sure that no one was walking past our classroom, I put the frog into Jane's bag secretly. “Please take out the homework I assigned you yesterday,” Ms Tan instructed after the break. Everyone started looking through their schoolbags for their homework. Out of the corner of my eye, I spied Jane bending down to open her bag. Glancing over at Tom and John, I saw them covering their mouths, trying to hide their laughter. “Ahhh! There is a frog in my bag!” Jane screamed as the frog leapt(跳) out of her bag. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She jumped onto her chair as she screamed in horror. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gathering all my courage, I decided to tell the truth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年高二英语上学期入学考试试卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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） 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。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. 此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man probably do?

You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 21. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 22. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Running部分的“An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.(一个普通人在一个小时的跑步中可以燃烧500到1000卡路里)”，High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)部分的“On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.(平均而言，一个人在30分钟内会燃烧400到600卡路里)”，Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.(跳绳一小时可以燃烧600到1000卡路里)”和Swimming部分的“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.(在短短30分钟的游泳中，一个普通人可以燃烧200到300卡路)”可知，高强度间歇运动一小时燃烧的卡路里是800-1200卡路里，游泳一小时燃烧的卡路里是400到600卡路里，因此高强度间歇训练在一小时内消耗的卡路里最多。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump.(跳绳在训练平衡性和协调性的同时，还能很好地加强下半身和上半身的力量，因为在跳绳的时候，你的大脑必须工作)”可知，那些想要平衡的人可能对第三个锻炼也感兴趣。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 B It’s not easy for me to forget the guy, whom I call Bean. For the past year and a half, I saw Bean almost every workday morning. In the beginning I ignored Bean. After all, he’s just a beggar (乞丐) on the freeway off-ramp (匝道) who traps people at a stoplight that seems to always be red. Over time a few things dawned on (开始明白) me. The first was that it was always the same guy at this off-ramp. The next was that he never actually asked for anything. He just danced and waved at everyone. Then finally, and perhaps the most important, was that he was ALWAYS happy. Some days he was dancing and playing a guitar. Most days he’d wave a cardboard at cars, smiling. Bean slowly became part of my morning routine. I noticed this one day, only because he wasn’t there and nobody danced and waved at me. I missed him. I’m worried that something had happened to him. I started to look for him every morning as I came down the ramp to that red light. One morning, after one of these absences, I was so relieved to see him that it was like the sun had come out after a week-long storm. I sat at the red light, watching his morning dancing. I realized that I, too, was smiling and found myself waving back. Wow, something as small as a wave brought blessings to my whole day. I finished the drive to work that morning, feeling lighter and happier. I remind you now. Look around you. Look at your life, your surroundings, and even just your grocery store with eyes that truly see. What magic lies in front of you? Do you have a Bean in your life you haven’t noticed yet? Watch for them. They will touch your life in ways you can’t even dream! 24. The author calls the beggar Bean probably because _____. A. he looks like a bean B. it’s a name picked by the author at will C. he makes the author think of Mr. Bean, the comedian D. that’s his real name 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. The author never saw unhappiness on Bean’s face. B. Bean caught the author’s attention at the beginning. C. The beggar would ask drivers for money when the traffic light turned red. D. The author came across Bean nearly every day in the past 1.5 years. 26. What does the underlined word “routine” probably mean here? A. An alarm clock. B. A traffic sign. C. An activity that you habitually do as part of your life. D. A kind of exercise for better health. 27. Why did the author go and sit at the red light? A. Because he was stopped by a red light. B. Because he felt close to the beggar. C. Because Bean invited him to. D. Because it was comfortable to sit there. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己见过的一个快乐的乞丐的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中的“He just danced and waved at everyone. Then finally, and perhaps the most important, was that he was ALWAYS happy. Some days he was dancing and playing a guitar. Most days he’d wave a cardboard at cars, smiling.”（他只是向每个人挥手跳舞。最后，也许最重要的是，他总是很开心。有几天，他一边跳舞一边弹吉他。大多数时候，他都会微笑着向汽车挥手。）可知，这个乞丐是个颇有表演天赋、爱跳爱笑的乐天派，这样的形象可能会让作者联想到著名喜剧演员憨豆先生(Mr. Bean)，于是就给他取了这么个名字。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“he was ALWAYS happy”（他总是很开心。）及全文内容可知，这个乞丐总是很开心， 作者从未见过他不开心。故选A。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。由画线词下文“I noticed this one day, only because he wasn’t there and nobody danced and waved at me. I missed him. I’m worried that something had happened to him.”（有一天我注意到了这一点，只是因为他不在那里，没有人向我跳舞和挥手。我想念他。我担心他出了什么事。）可知，作者发现Bean不见了，就很想念他，担心他出了什么事，试图寻找他，这一切都说明，遇见那个乞丐已经成了作者习以为常的事，由此可知画线词词义为：你习惯性地做的、作为你生活一部分的一项活动。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段“One morning, after one of these absences, I was so relieved to see him that it was like the sun had come out after a week-long storm. I sat at the red light, watching his morning dancing. ”（有一天早晨，在又一次没看到他之后，我终于看到他了，我如释重负，就像经历了一周的暴风雨之后，太阳终于出来了。我坐在红灯下，看乞丐跳舞。）可知，几天不见之后，作者又遇见了乞丐，于是松了口气，内心好似雨过天晴一般。作者之所以会坐在红灯下，看乞丐跳舞，也向乞丐挥手，应该是因为他对乞丐有了亲近感。故选B。 C Nightmares could be reduced by hearing a sound while you sleep that you previously associated with a positive ending to a bad dream during therapy (治疗). Up to 8 percent of people report having problems with nightmares. The standard treatment is image rehearsal therapy (IRT), which 30 percent of people don’t respond to. IRT involves repeating a previous nightmare but changing it to have a more positive ending. To aid memory recall, some treatments involve an individual hearing a specific sound as they form memories and then having this same sound played to them while they sleep. This is often done during the non-rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, because dreams and nightmares are more common in REM sleep. Testing the potential of this approach for nightmares, Lampros Perogamvros at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues first divided 36 people who had more than one nightmare per week into two groups. Both groups were taught how to carry out IRT themselves at home, which they did for 5 minutes a day over two weeks. Only one group, however, listened to a neutral piano tone while they carried out their IRT. During these two weeks, both groups wore a head band every night that tracked their sleep stage by discovering brain activity. When they entered REM sleep, both groups were played the tone that only one group was exposed to during their at-home IRT. This tone was played at 10 second intervals. At the end of the two weeks, the two groups both reported having more positive dreams. By carrying out this treatment in people’s homes, it could become a widespread intervention to relieve nightmares, says Mark Blagrove at Swansea University, UK. “You could not only have people treated with IRT in the clinician’s room, or therapist’s room, but people could possibly be sent home with these instruments that spot the stages of sleep and have the auditory (听觉的) signal that was played when they were doing IRT presented again during sleep.” he says. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. IRT helps memory. B. IRT makes memories form. C. Not all respond to IRT. D. The new treatment is popular. 29. How did Lampros and his colleagues test the potential of IRT? A. By analyzing data. B. By performing a survey. C. By referring to documents. D. By conducting an experiment. 30. What is Mark Blagrove’s attitude towards the treatment? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To share a discovery. B. To confirm a concept. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To make an explanation. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在睡觉时听积极的声音可以减少噩梦的频率。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The standard treatment is image rehearsal therapy (IRT), which 30 percent of people don’t respond to.(标准的治疗方法是意象排演疗法（IRT），30%的人对此没有反应。)”可知，30%的人对IRT没有反应，即不是所有人都对IRT有反应。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“Testing the potential of this approach for nightmares, Lampros Perogamvros at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues first divided 36 people who had more than one nightmare per week into two groups.(瑞士日内瓦大学的Lampros Perogamvros和他的同事们测试了这种方法治疗噩梦的潜力，他们首先将每周做一次以上噩梦的36人分为两组。)”及下文内容可推知，Lampros Perogamvros和他的同事们通过进行一场实验来测试IRT的潜力。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By carrying out this treatment in people’s homes, it could become a widespread intervention to relieve nightmares, says Mark Blagrove at Swansea University, UK.(英国斯旺西大学的Mark Blagrove说，通过在人们家中进行这种治疗，它可以成为一种广泛的干预措施来缓解噩梦。)”可知，Mark Blagrove认为这种疗法能够成为帮助人们在家缓解噩梦的广泛措施，由此可推测出，他对这种疗法持支持态度。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Nightmares could be reduced by hearing a sound while you sleep that you previously associated with a positive ending to a bad dream during therapy(治疗).(噩梦可以通过在睡觉时听到一种声音来减少，这种声音以前与治疗期间噩梦的积极结局有关。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项发现，即在睡觉时听积极的声音可以减少噩梦的频率。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions (指令). Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated (复杂的) scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals. 32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s weaknesses. C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s popularity. 33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4? A. To show Sora’s safety problems. B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses. C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 34. What can we know about Sora up to now? A It has experienced testing and improvement. B. It has enjoyed great popularity. C. It has made random attacks. D. It has been applied in various industries. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT C. Sora: Known as a spacetime patch D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Sora这一先进AI模型能够根据文本指令生成高质量视频及其特点。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios(屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.(据说Sora比许多其他具有类似功能的现有模型更优秀。该人工智能模型能够为不同的设备创建合适屏幕高宽比的视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试较低质量的内容，这有助于根据用户的需求加快产出速度)”及第三段中“Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising.(除此之外，它以逼真流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊讶)”可知，第二段和第三段主要描述了Sora的优点，包括它可以创建适合不同设备的视频、允许用户快速测试低质量版本以及能够生成真实流畅的视频场景等，这两段的重点在于展示Sora的优势。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated(复杂的) scene and might not get how one action leads to another.(然而，当前的模型并不完美。它可能难以准确地展现复杂场景中事物的运动，并且可能无法理解一个动作是如何导致另一个动作的)”及所举例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order.(例如，在由Sora生成的视频中，如果某人吃掉了一部分饼干，饼干可能看起来不像是被咬过的。该模型可能会混淆方向，并且难以按正确的顺序描述事件)”可知，第四段提到的例子是为了说明Sora在处理复杂场景时的一些局限性，比如难以准确表现物体运动或事件顺序等，这个例子是用来展示Sora目前存在的弱点。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.(Sora仍处于开发测试阶段。OpenAI目前正邀请网络安全专业人士对Sora的系统进行随机攻击，以此来测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也已向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将帮助OpenAI改进模型，以便更好地服务于创意专业人士)”可知，Sora已经经历了测试和改进的过程。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed(超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions(指令).(人工智能模型早已超越了仅创造文本响应和图像的能力。现在，只需一句话，OpenAI的最新文本转视频模型Sora就能将你的文字转化为具有良好视觉质量的视频，并完全遵循你的内容指示)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了Sora在文本转视频方面的先进功能和技术优势，尽管它还存在一些限制，但它在视频创作领域显示出引领潮流的潜力，D选项“Sora: 引领视频创作”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选D。 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。 Attending a concert is an activity appealing to many.

It was early in the morning and my friends, John, Tom and I were already in school, discussing the prank(恶作剧)we were going to play on our class monitor, Jane. Laughing quietly, John reached for his bag, opened the bag and showed us the frog in his bag. Tom and I couldn't hold back the laughter, thinking about what would happen. Ring! As soon as the bell rang, other students, including Jane, hurried out of the classroom. We had planned to put a frog in Jane's bag and scare her for telling Ms Tan, our headteacher, that we were playing in the classroom when there was no teacher in class. “This should teach her a lesson!” I thought, smiling to myself. Once we were the only ones left in the classroom, I took the frog from John's bag. Surveying around to make sure that no one was walking past our classroom, I put the frog into Jane's bag secretly. “Please take out the homework I assigned you yesterday,” Ms Tan instructed after the break. Everyone started looking through their schoolbags for their homework. Out of the corner of my eye, I spied Jane bending down to open her bag. Glancing over at Tom and John, I saw them covering their mouths, trying to hide their laughter. “Ahhh! There is a frog in my bag!” Jane screamed as the frog leapt(跳) out of her bag. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She jumped onto her chair as she screamed in horror. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gathering all my courage, I decided to tell the truth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: She jumped onto her chair as she screamed in horror. A few girls held their breath in shock and some rushed out of the classroom. The other classmates and I burst into laughter. I thought, “Serve you right, Jane! You should not have told Ms Tan about what we did!” “Silence!” Ms Tan shouted, glaring at all of us. Silence filled the classroom. “Who did this?” Seeing Jane still standing on her chair, her eyes widened and face pale, I felt regretful for what I had done suddenly. Gathering all my courage, I decided to tell the truth. “…I did… it,” I said in a low voice. Ms Tan criticized me and commanded me to apologize and take back the frog. Following my lead, John and Tom stood up and apologized too. Fortunately, Jane forgave us willingly. I breathed a sigh of relief. That day, regret welled up within me as I thought about the prank I had played on poor Jane. My heart sank with guilt over how Jane had easily and kindly forgiven us. I realized that we should not have played a prank on such a kind girl. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友们为了报复班长Jane向老师告状，而将一只青蛙放进她的书包里，最终作者意识到自己的错误并向Jane道歉的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她惊恐地尖叫着跳到了椅子上。”可知，第一段可描写Jane发现青蛙后的反应以及同学们的不同表现，同时作者开始反思自己的行为。 ②由第二段首句内容“我鼓起所有的勇气，决定说出真相。”可知，第二段可描写作者承认错误，John和Tom也跟随作者一起道歉，最后Jane原谅了他们，作者深感后悔。 续写线索：Jane的反应——同学们的反应——作者的反思——承认错误——John和Tom的道歉——Jane的原谅——作者的后悔 词汇激活 行为类 ①尖叫：scream/cry out ②批评：criticize/condemn ③原谅：forgive/clear the air 情绪类 ①震惊：shocked/stunned ②后悔：regretful/remorseful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
