Growing up in Northeast Thailands creative community in Ubon Ratchatani, Bim developed her passion for art at a young age. She took inspiration from anime like "Dragon Ball Z" cartoons she saw on television and the "Manga" comic books she collected. She put years of hands-on practice into her illustrations using brushes, watercolors, and oil paints. In high school, she discovered even more ways to express herself and expand her creative palette when she started using iPad with Apple Pencil. “I quickly adapted to the precision and flexibility of digital painting using Apple Pencil,” Bim says. “It brought my entire art kit into one magical tool, without sacrificing the natural feel of traditional mediums. It allows me a new way to bring my ideas to life.” When it was time to get ready for university, Bim used iPad to bring her art portfolio together, capturing and storing all her mixed media digitally in iCloud. Bim says, “I initially chose Apple technology because of its cloud service for file management and simple-to-learn design interface — iPad has made my life easier.” Today she uses Procreate on iPad with Apple Pencil for all her creative workflows. Features such as QuickShape and StreamLine with Apple Pencil enable her to quickly add layers, outlines, colors, and shadows in an immersive and playful way. “My love for traditional painting and digital art brings me a new sense of balance. My Apple devices help to make this possible from anywhere.” iPad also supports her daily academic work. Bim uses Apple Pencil with GoodNotes for note-taking, and Microsoft Word on iPad for creating art descriptions. “In class, I use iPad Pro to present my work,” Bim says. “And the 12.9-inch screen is large enough for my professor to view my art comfortably.” “Through my art, I want to tell a story that inspires others and creates a space for experimental ideas.” 1．What does Bim Wannakit value most about using Apple devices for her art?

This represents OpenAI’s move into the video creation area, joining other leading companies and new businesses. Sora stands out by making high-quality videos that can show complex scenes with many characters, different movements, and detailed backgrounds. It can also improve existing videos by filling in missing parts, showing its strong grasp of language and understanding of the real world. Sora can make videos in a variety of styles, including photorealistic and cartoon, lasting up to a minute-much longer than what is typically possible with current text-to-video technology. Demonstrations by OpenAI show Sora’s ability to produce videos that tell clear stories and show deep emotions, avoiding typical mistakes made by AI. However, even with its advanced features, Sora has its challenges. It may have trouble mimicking (模仿) the natural laws of complex scenes or showing actions and their outcomes correctly, like a cookie not having a bite mark. Aware of the risks of misuse, OpenAI bas not released Sora for general use. The organization stresses the need for careful development and use of AI, aiming to stop negative uses. For this, OpenAI is looking into ways to verify videos made by Sora and is talking with lawmakers, teachers, and artists to address concerns and find positive ways to use the technology. As Sora marks a significant improvement in AI-made video technology, OpenAI is dedicated to developing it safely and ethically. The company recognizes the difficulty in predicting all the ways such technology might be used or misused, highlighting the value of learning from actual use to develop safer AI systems over time. 1．What does the term “photorealistic” most closely mean in the context of the article?

B．Concerns over potential dangers. C．The video quality does not meet standards D．The cost of video production is too high 4．What is the author’s attitude towards Sora? A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Critical. Passage3. “Turn left! Tum right!” In the information technology (TT) class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around. “This is part of our artificial intelligence (AI) courses.” said the 10th grader from Beijing 101 Middle School. The school provides AI (人工智能) classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选的) courses if students want to learn more. “This year in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python bas been tested in high school graduation exams (高中会考) in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui. In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing trend (趋势) in many places, with Zhejiang province being a typical example. In 2020 Zhejiang added AI education into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to build 1, 000 AI experimental schools by 2025. “With the development of technology, our textbooks have been changing all the time,” said Shang Yim, an IT teacher from Beijing 101 Middle School. “From typing to using Word and Excel, and then today’s coding and AI, the courses are keeping up with the times and teaching students necessary skills. ”In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is needed. Even in daily life, people may need to understand things like ChatGPT and the internet of things (物联网) . AI education will become increasingly important, Shang added. 1．How did the writer start the passage? A．By drawing a conclusion (结论) . B．By telling a story. C．By explaining the truth. D．By describing a scene 2．What do we know about the AI class at Beijing 101 Middle School? A．It is an optional course. B．It only teaches basic knowledge. C．It often makes students feel stressed. D．It teaches students to code with Python. 3．Why is AI education becoming increasingly important according to the passage? A．Because understanding AI is becoming an necessary skill B．Because AI is included in all high school graduation exams C．Because AI is going to take over school education D．Because AI is students’ powerful competitor Passage4. Chicago’s Lyric Opera is aiming to make its performances more accessible via the SoundShirt. In October, Lyric became the first opera company to offer the shirts to audience members who are deaf or hard of hearing. The device comes from a London-based wearable tech brand called CuteCircuit. Each shirt costs about $1,900, but interested guests can reserve one for special performances at $20 a ticket. Audience members who intend to use the shirts will sit in seats with a view of both the conductor and Lyric’s sign language interpreter. The SoundShirt is worn like a lightweight jacket and features 16 small motors throughout. Microphones are placed around the orchestra on stage to record specific instruments and send a live signal to start vibrations (振动) in the shoulders, forearms and upper and lower back. Rachel Arfa, commissioner of Chicago’s Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, recently tested the SoundShirt at a production of West Side Story. “When Lyric approached me with this shirt, I was highly skeptical,” She tells The Washington Post’s Michael Andor Brodeur. “There are often technical solutions designed by people without disabilities for people with disabilities that do not solve barriers that we have.” The technology certainly isn’t for everyone. The Chicago Sun-Times’ Stefano Esposito says wearing a SoundShirt feels like “your body has become home to an entire hive (蜂巢) of non-stinging bees.” “It’s not an unpleasant sensation,” he writes, “just odd, very odd.” But for Arfa, the shirt exceeded expectations. “At live theater, it is difficult for me to discriminate between different sounds, so I rely on access provided for equal access,” she tells The Washington Post. “I began to understand that the motors on the SoundShirt vibrated in conjunction with the orchestra sounds... I am not able to hear this sound, but I could feel it. It was such a surprise and a thrill.” Tina Childress, an audiologist and advocate for accessibility in the arts, is excited by the variety of accessibility services now available to hard-of-hearing theatergoers. “It’s important to remember that you can use two or three of these choices at the same time,” she tells The Washington Post after testing the shirt. “With the SoundShirt, having that tactile (触觉的) feedback for what I don’t hear was instrumental in me enjoying the performance.” 1．What can we learn about the SoundShirt? A．It looks like a common T-shirt. B．It is created by Chicago’s Lyric Opera. C．It is expensive for people to purchase. D．It is promoted by Rachel Arfa. 2．How does the SoundShirt work? A．By stimulating users’ brains. B．By changing sounds into touches. C．By interpreting music as visual images. D．By linking users’ bodies with instruments directly. 3．What’s Stefano’s opinion on wearing the SoundShirt? A．Useful. B．Strange. C．Innovative. D．Surprised. 4．What does the underlined word “discriminate” mean in paragraph 9? A．Feel. B．Choose. C．Distinguish. D．Transmit. Passage5. Buried in ash after Vesuvius’ eruption, hundreds of scrolls (卷轴) have kept their secrets hidden for centuries. But archaeologists have now been able to reveal some of the ancient text with the help of artificial intelligence. Discovered in the ruins of a villa, the Herculaneum scrolls are a collection of around1,000 scrolls, along with other relics. In earlier times, many people tried to unlock the secrets of scrolls but in vain, mainly because most of them were fragile (易碎的) and would shatter into pieces if unrolled. Until now, the only way to read what's inside the scrolls is to put together the thousands of pieces, which may take 500 years to reveal their content. Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术). But that was not enough to read the barely visible ink on the ancient documents. The chemistry of the ink from the ancient world is different than the chemistry from medieval times. It's largely invisible to the naked eye even when caught by the X-ray. In 2019, they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to “see” the ink, but it needed much data. So they launched the Vesuvius Challenge to accelerate the work and released software and thousands of 3D X-ray images of pieces and two rolled-up scrolls, in the hope that global research groups would take up the challenge. In the end, a team of three students shared the grand prize. They could read 2,000letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans. After creating a 3D scan of the text using a CT scan, the scroll was then separated into segments. A machine learning model—an application of AI—then detected the inked regions, allowing them to decipher the text. Mastro, a professor at Naples’ University, called the technique “revolutionary.” “We worked literally day and night to study them, but I am more excited that using this method we can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,” said Mastro. 1．What issue was resolved with X-ray tomography? A．The fragile nature of the scrolls. B．Putting together divided pieces. C．Showing the scrolls without opening it. D．The difficulty in understanding ancient languages. 2．How did AI function in processing the scrolls? A．By unwrapping the scrolls. B．By analyzing the chemistry. C．By separating them with relics. D．By detecting the barely visible ink. 3．What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in paragraph 5? A．Adapt. B．Summarize. C．Arrange. D．Interpret. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Scrolls promote technological revolution. B．AI advanced the way to read ancient scrolls. C．New technology discovered relics in Vesuvius. D．Hidden secrets are recorded by archaeologists. Passage6. The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the woman parted her lips to whisper an ancient secret. Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century. “He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,” said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting. The scientists looked into its atomic (原子的) structure using X-rays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. “Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said. Rembrandt, the Dutch master, may have employed a similar blend in his 17th-century paintings. Gonzalez and fellow researchers have also detected plumbonacrite in his art. It’s believed that Leonardo used lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, to thicken his oil paint and speed up drying. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.” But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — There’s more to her gaze than meets the eye. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said. 1．What technique did da Vinci potentially use in the Mona Lisa? A．The employment of tailored X-rays. B．The application of a rare lead compound. C．A special mixture of oil paints. D．The universal use of atomic structures. 2．What does the use of plumbonacrite suggest about Leonardo’s painting approach? A．Willingness to experiment. B．Giving priority to conventions. C．Technically identical output. D．Concentration on paint drying. 3．What is Gonzalez’s attitude towards the use of lead oxide powder? A．Dismissive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Favorable. 4．What can we infer about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph? A．It still holds secrets yet to be uncovered. B．It echoes the realities of the worldly life. C．It’s a perfect combination of old and new. D．It serves as the key to understanding Leonardo. 二、完形填空 Passage1. Born in 1928, little Donna Jean Talent spent her childhood taking art classes, dreaming of being an artist. At 90 years old, she achieved her dream of being a(n) 1 and painted up to 12 hours a day, every day. The walls of her home were filled with paintings and painted rocks that reflected her 2 , the people she loved and the joy that caught her eye. She painted family members and did commission (正式委托) work and was 3 to painting anything for anyone. For the last eight years, Talent had been losing her eyesight, so she painted rocks mostly by 4 , inspired by the various smooth and rough (粗糙的) surfaces. She created special rocks that she 5 as gifts and hid fun ones around town for people to 6 . “As long as I can walk, you’ll get plenty of 7 from me,” she said. Talent’s mother, Hazel, was a songwriter and had jumped barrels (桶) with roller skates as a young woman. She was 8 and very playful. 9 Talent’s mother nurtured (培养) her love of the arts and an adventurous life, her father, Earl, a farmer, nurtured her love of gems (宝石) and 10 . At 90, Talent was 11 and mostly healthy, except for slowly losing her 12 . “I feel young, but my body keeps reminding me that I’m 90. But for my 13 , I’m doing really well,” she said. “For me, the key to 14 it to 90 has been keeping my interest in things.

What can you make with a 3D printer? Theoretically speaking, you can make anything with a 3D printer, though its main uses are in industries like manufacturing, prototyping, construction and medicine. However, now hobbyists can create the 1 items at home, and many are even selling their wares online as a part time job. 3D printers were also a critical tool 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic, when PPE was in short supply. Hospitals 3 on 3D printers to supply their staff with gowns, masks and respirators, as well as to create parts for ventilators. One Seattle high school student even 4 a mask factory from his home using a 3D printer. Now, with scientists able to create prosthetics (假肢) and implants via 3D printing, the 5 in medicine are arguably among some of the most exciting. They can also create 6 body parts like ears from stem cells, collagen and structural proteins in the human body called fibrin; this process is known as bioprinting, though much of it is still in the testing phases. 7 , researchers can test pharmaceuticals easily and ethically with tissue created from 3D printers. In the future, designers and hobbyists may not be asking the question “How do 3D printers work?” because 3D printers will likely be so 8 in our daily lives. Today, kids are being taught about 3D printing in elementary school, and many local libraries currently have the machines available, as do stores like UPS and Staples. Honestly, the possibilities are 9 in the aerospace, electronic, medical, energy and automotive industries, where 3D printers will become even more vital tools. While this can be handy when it comes to cars, which can be customized for buyers, it is even more essential in the 10 field. Although we’re still probably 10 to 15 years away from 3D printed organs like kidneys, this scientific advancement is most definitely 11 . And 12 the opportunities in space, where the defense and aerospace 3D printing market is expected to reach $ 5. 58 billion by 2026. In the future, 3D printing could transform space exploration and space tourism by allowing astronauts to create objects 13 while in space. Imagine a future in which buildings and food are created in space! When will you be able to print nearly anything at home? We’re getting there. “We are at the 14 of a manufacturing age,” Bourell says, “which I believe may have an impact 15 that of the Information Age.” 1．A．appealing B．delicate C．artificial D．nonindustrial 2．A．by means B．at the height C．in terms D．regardless 3．A．reflected B．switched C．relied D．intended 4．A．ran B．attached C．rolled D．spun 5．A．tendencies B．implications C．situations D．advances 6．A．manned B．actual C．spotless D．genetic 7．A．Contrarily B．Precisely C．Additionally D．Imaginably 8．A．advanced B．interwoven C．intermediate D．novel 9．A．endless B．applicable C．limited D．stuck 10．A．automotive B．industrial C．manufacturing D．medical 11．A．on the horizon B．in the mind C．in the course D．at present 12．A．transfer B．consider C．illustrate D．overlook 13．A．in supply B．in stock C．on demand D．under control 14．A．center B．doorway C．crossroads D．destination 15．A．comparable to B．based on C．absent from D．proportional to Passage3. Mason Suljic, 24, struggles in some everyday situations. He can’t always 1 graphs charts or maps very well. He has red-green color-blindness which makes it 2 to tell the difference between some colors and 3 the overall number of colors he can see. Today, however, his eyesight is experiencing a temporary (暂时的) but completely change. Inside Sydney University Chau Chak Wing Museum, Suljic is 4 on a pair of vision-improving glasses that promises to help him see in a fuller range of color. “The water and the necklace are completely different with the glasses on.’’ he tells Guardian Australia , 5 a picture called South Sea Beauty. Suljic slides the glasses up and down , 6 the view through the lenses (镜片) and without them. “ The 7 looks very different — it becomes a cooler color but also more bright. The trees stand out more.” 8 , paintings like this would appear to Suljic in duller colors, reducing their 9 . But with the glasses on, colors 10 and pop, and objects become more defined (外形清晰的). For Suljic, this is a new experience. Chau Chak Wing Museum has offered color-correcting 11 to guests like Suljic since April. “I think especially in cultural and arts institutions , accessibility needs to be key,” said Jane Thogersen , a curator at the museum. Suljic is 12 the technology exists. “Looking at the 13 with glasses on, it definitely brings art into a new light,” Suljic said. He’ll 14 the glasses and see the world as usual soon.

We could not go for a walk that 1 . There was such a freezing cold wind, and such heavy rain, that we all stayed indoors. I was glad of it. I 2 liked long walks, especially in winter. I used to hate coming home when it was almost dark, with ice-cold fingers and toes, feeling miserable because Bessie, the nursemaid, was always scolding me. All the time I knew I was different from my cousins, Eliza, John and Georgiana Reed. They were taller and stronger than me, and they were 3 .   These 4 usually spent their time crying and quarrelling, but today they were sitting 5 around their mother in the sitting-room. I wanted to join the family circle, but Mrs Reed, my aunt, refused. Bessie had complainted about me.   “No, I’m sorry, Jane. 6 I hear from Bessie, or see for myself, that you are really trying to behave better, you cannot be treated as a good, happy child, like my children.” “What does Bessie say I have done?” I asked.   “Jane, it is not polite to 7 me in that way. If you cannot speak pleasantly, be quiet.” I 8 out of the sitting-room and into the small room next door, 9 I chose a book full of pictures from the bookcase. I 10 to the window-seat and drew the 11 , so that I was completely hidden. I sat there for a while. Sometimes I looked out of the window at the grey November afternoon, and saw the rain pouring down on the leafless garden. But most of the time I studied the book and stared, fascinated, at the pictures. Lost in the world of imagination, I forgot my sad, lonely existence for a while, and was happy, I was only afraid that my secret hiding-place might be discovered. 12 the door of the room opened. John Reed rushed in. “Where are you, rat?” he shouted. He did not see me behind the curtain. “Eliza! Georgy! Jane isn’t here! Tell Mamma she’s run out into the rain—what a bad 13 she is!” “How 14 I drew the curtain,” I thought. He would never have found me, because he was not very intelligent. But Eliza guessed 15 where I was. “She’s in the window-seat, John,” she called from the sitting-room. So I came out immediately, as I did not want him to pull me out. 1．A．morning B．afternoon C．evening D．midnight 2．A．always B．never C．occasionally D．gradually 3．A．loving B．loved C．hated D．protected 4．A．two B．three C．four D．five 5．A．quietly B．wildly C．restlessly D．officially 6．A．By the time B．Until C．Consequently D．Now that 7．A．interrupt B．appreciate C．dawn D．question 8．A．slid B．sprang C．crept D．weaved 9．A．where B．which C．when D．that 10．A．rushed to B．aimed for C．protested against D．climbed on 11．A．safe B．switch C．curtains D．window 12．A．Immediately B．Absolutely C．Suddenly D．Mindfully 13．A．animal B．guy C．girl D．honey 14．A．poor B．dangerous C．fortunate D．intelligent 15．A．on no account B．in no time C．by no means D．no sooner than ( 26 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit4 Meeting the Muse 阅读完形训练 - 2024-2025学年高二英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019选择性必修第一册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1. “Digital art with iPad and Apple Pencil has helped to expand my creative thinking.” Apichaya "Bim" Wannakit is starting her fourth year in painting, sculpture, and graphic art at Silpakorn University in Bangkok, in the heart of the modern Thai art scene.

OpenAI has introduced Sora, an advanced Al model designed to make videos from written descriptions or pictures. This represents OpenAI’s move into the video creation area, joining other leading companies and new businesses. Sora stands out by making high-quality videos that can show complex scenes with many characters, different movements, and detailed backgrounds. It can also improve existing videos by filling in missing parts, showing its strong grasp of language and understanding of the real world. Sora can make videos in a variety of styles, including photorealistic and cartoon, lasting up to a minute-much longer than what is typically possible with current text-to-video technology. Demonstrations by OpenAI show Sora’s ability to produce videos that tell clear stories and show deep emotions, avoiding typical mistakes made by AI. However, even with its advanced features, Sora has its challenges. It may have trouble mimicking (模仿) the natural laws of complex scenes or showing actions and their outcomes correctly, like a cookie not having a bite mark. Aware of the risks of misuse, OpenAI bas not released Sora for general use. The organization stresses the need for careful development and use of AI, aiming to stop negative uses. For this, OpenAI is looking into ways to verify videos made by Sora and is talking with lawmakers, teachers, and artists to address concerns and find positive ways to use the technology. As Sora marks a significant improvement in AI-made video technology, OpenAI is dedicated to developing it safely and ethically. The company recognizes the difficulty in predicting all the ways such technology might be used or misused, highlighting the value of learning from actual use to develop safer AI systems over time. 1．What does the term “photorealistic” most closely mean in the context of the article?

Chicago’s Lyric Opera is aiming to make its performances more accessible via the SoundShirt. In October, Lyric became the first opera company to offer the shirts to audience members who are deaf or hard of hearing. The device comes from a London-based wearable tech brand called CuteCircuit. Each shirt costs about $1,900, but interested guests can reserve one for special performances at $20 a ticket. Audience members who intend to use the shirts will sit in seats with a view of both the conductor and Lyric’s sign language interpreter. The SoundShirt is worn like a lightweight jacket and features 16 small motors throughout. Microphones are placed around the orchestra on stage to record specific instruments and send a live signal to start vibrations (振动) in the shoulders, forearms and upper and lower back. Rachel Arfa, commissioner of Chicago’s Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, recently tested the SoundShirt at a production of West Side Story. “When Lyric approached me with this shirt, I was highly skeptical,” She tells The Washington Post’s Michael Andor Brodeur. “There are often technical solutions designed by people without disabilities for people with disabilities that do not solve barriers that we have.” The technology certainly isn’t for everyone. The Chicago Sun-Times’ Stefano Esposito says wearing a SoundShirt feels like “your body has become home to an entire hive (蜂巢) of non-stinging bees.” “It’s not an unpleasant sensation,” he writes, “just odd, very odd.” But for Arfa, the shirt exceeded expectations. “At live theater, it is difficult for me to discriminate between different sounds, so I rely on access provided for equal access,” she tells The Washington Post. “I began to understand that the motors on the SoundShirt vibrated in conjunction with the orchestra sounds... I am not able to hear this sound, but I could feel it. It was such a surprise and a thrill.” Tina Childress, an audiologist and advocate for accessibility in the arts, is excited by the variety of accessibility services now available to hard-of-hearing theatergoers. “It’s important to remember that you can use two or three of these choices at the same time,” she tells The Washington Post after testing the shirt. “With the SoundShirt, having that tactile (触觉的) feedback for what I don’t hear was instrumental in me enjoying the performance.” 1．What can we learn about the SoundShirt? A．It looks like a common T-shirt. B．It is created by Chicago’s Lyric Opera. C．It is expensive for people to purchase. D．It is promoted by Rachel Arfa. 2．How does the SoundShirt work? A．By stimulating users’ brains. B．By changing sounds into touches. C．By interpreting music as visual images. D．By linking users’ bodies with instruments directly. 3．What’s Stefano’s opinion on wearing the SoundShirt? A．Useful. B．Strange. C．Innovative. D．Surprised. 4．What does the underlined word “discriminate” mean in paragraph 9? A．Feel. B．Choose. C．Distinguish. D．Transmit. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种SoundShirt可以帮助聋哑或重听观众更好地欣赏演出，介绍了其工作原理以及人们对此的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Each shirt costs about $1,900, but interested guests can reserve one for special performances at $20 a ticket.(每件衬衫的价格约为1900美元，但感兴趣的客人可以以20美元的价格预订一件特殊演出的衬衫)”可知，SoundShirt很贵。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“The SoundShirt is worn like a lightweight jacket and features 16 small motors throughout. Microphones are placed around the orchestra on stage to record specific instruments and send a live signal to start vibrations (振动) in the shoulders, forearms and upper and lower back.(“声音衬衫”穿起来就像一件轻便的夹克，全身有16个小马达。在舞台上的管弦乐队周围放置麦克风，记录特定的乐器，并发送实时信号，以启动肩膀，前臂和上下背部的振动)”以及最后一段“With the SoundShirt, having that tactile (触觉的) feedback for what I don’t hear was instrumental in me enjoying the performance.(有了SoundShirt，我听不到的声音有了触觉反馈，这对我享受表演很有帮助)”可知，SoundShirt把声音变成触觉来工作。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““It’s not an unpleasant sensation,” he writes, “just odd, very odd.”(“这不是一种不愉快的感觉，”他写道，“只是奇怪，非常奇怪。”)”可知，Stefano认为穿着SoundShirt奇怪。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“At live theater, it is difficult for me to discriminate between different sounds, so I rely on access provided for equal access(在现场剧院，我很难discriminate不同的声音，所以我依靠提供的平等机会)”可知，提供平等机会是因为难以区分不同的声音。故划线词意思是“区别”。故选C。 Passage5. Buried in ash after Vesuvius’ eruption, hundreds of scrolls (卷轴) have kept their secrets hidden for centuries. But archaeologists have now been able to reveal some of the ancient text with the help of artificial intelligence. Discovered in the ruins of a villa, the Herculaneum scrolls are a collection of around1,000 scrolls, along with other relics. In earlier times, many people tried to unlock the secrets of scrolls but in vain, mainly because most of them were fragile (易碎的) and would shatter into pieces if unrolled. Until now, the only way to read what's inside the scrolls is to put together the thousands of pieces, which may take 500 years to reveal their content. Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术). But that was not enough to read the barely visible ink on the ancient documents. The chemistry of the ink from the ancient world is different than the chemistry from medieval times. It's largely invisible to the naked eye even when caught by the X-ray. In 2019, they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to “see” the ink, but it needed much data. So they launched the Vesuvius Challenge to accelerate the work and released software and thousands of 3D X-ray images of pieces and two rolled-up scrolls, in the hope that global research groups would take up the challenge. In the end, a team of three students shared the grand prize. They could read 2,000letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans. After creating a 3D scan of the text using a CT scan, the scroll was then separated into segments. A machine learning model—an application of AI—then detected the inked regions, allowing them to decipher the text. Mastro, a professor at Naples’ University, called the technique “revolutionary.” “We worked literally day and night to study them, but I am more excited that using this method we can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,” said Mastro. 1．What issue was resolved with X-ray tomography? A．The fragile nature of the scrolls. B．Putting together divided pieces. C．Showing the scrolls without opening it. D．The difficulty in understanding ancient languages. 2．How did AI function in processing the scrolls? A．By unwrapping the scrolls. B．By analyzing the chemistry. C．By separating them with relics. D．By detecting the barely visible ink. 3．What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in paragraph 5? A．Adapt. B．Summarize. C．Arrange. D．Interpret. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Scrolls promote technological revolution. B．AI advanced the way to read ancient scrolls. C．New technology discovered relics in Vesuvius. D．Hidden secrets are recorded by archaeologists. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们利用人工智能来阅读古卷轴，解释了其具体的操作过程。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In earlier times, many people tried to unlock the secrets of scrolls but in vain, mainly because most of them were fragile (易碎的) and would shatter into pieces if unrolled.(早些时候，许多人试图解开卷轴的秘密，但都是徒劳的，主要是因为大多数卷轴都很脆弱，一旦展开就会碎成碎片)”以及第三段“Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术).(幸运的是，由Seales教授领导的一个团队已经开创了一种使用X射线断层扫描“虚拟打开”古代卷轴的方法)”可知，X射线断层扫描解决了不打开就可以展示卷轴的问题。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术). But that was not enough to read the barely visible ink on the ancient documents.(幸运的是，由Seales教授领导的一个团队已经开创了一种使用X射线断层扫描“几乎打开”古代卷轴的方法。但这还不足以阅读古代文献上几乎看不见的墨水)”以及第四段“In 2019, they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to “see” the ink, but it needed much data.(2019年，他们确实提出了一种基于人工智能的解决方案来“看到”墨水，但它需要大量数据)”可知，AI通过检测几乎看不见的墨水来处理卷轴。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They could read 2,000letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans.(在扫描上训练机器学习算法后，他们可以从卷轴上读出2000个字母)”以及“A machine learning model—an application of AI—then detected the inked regions, allowing them to”可知，一种人工智能的应用检测到有墨水的区域，从而使它们能够翻译文本，故划线词意思是“翻译”，与Interpret意义相近。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Mastro, a professor at Naples’ University, called the technique “revolutionary.” “We worked literally day and night to study them, but I am more excited that using this method we can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,” said Mastro.( 那不勒斯大学教授马斯特罗称这项技术是“革命性的”。马斯特罗说：“我们夜以继日地研究它们，但更让我兴奋的是，通过这种方法，我们可以揭示隐藏在卷轴中近2000年的东西。”)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要说明了人们利用人工智能来阅读古卷轴，解释了其具体的操作过程，由此可知，这篇文章主要讲的是人工智能改进了阅读古卷轴的方式。故选B。 Passage6. The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the woman parted her lips to whisper an ancient secret. Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century. “He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,” said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting. The scientists looked into its atomic (原子的) structure using X-rays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. “Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said. Rembrandt, the Dutch master, may have employed a similar blend in his 17th-century paintings. Gonzalez and fellow researchers have also detected plumbonacrite in his art. It’s believed that Leonardo used lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, to thicken his oil paint and speed up drying. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.” But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — There’s more to her gaze than meets the eye. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said. 1．What technique did da Vinci potentially use in the Mona Lisa? A．The employment of tailored X-rays. B．The application of a rare lead compound. C．A special mixture of oil paints. D．The universal use of atomic structures. 2．What does the use of plumbonacrite suggest about Leonardo’s painting approach? A．Willingness to experiment. B．Giving priority to conventions. C．Technically identical output. D．Concentration on paint drying. 3．What is Gonzalez’s attitude towards the use of lead oxide powder? A．Dismissive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Favorable. 4．What can we infer about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph? A．It still holds secrets yet to be uncovered. B．It echoes the realities of the worldly life. C．It’s a perfect combination of old and new. D．It serves as the key to understanding Leonardo. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家通过X射线检查《蒙娜丽莎》的部分化学结构，发现了达芬奇在作品中使用的一种技术。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint.”（研究人员在达·芬奇的第一层画作中发现了一种罕见的铅化合物——plumbonacrite。这一发现证明，达芬奇很可能使用了氧化铅来增稠和干燥他的颜料）可知，达芬奇在《蒙娜丽莎》中可能使用了一种罕见的铅化合物。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically”（他喜欢实验，他的每一幅画在技术上都完全不同）可知，达芬奇喜欢实验，故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段““What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.””（“你会得到一种非常漂亮的金色的油，”Gonzalez说，“它流动起来更像蜂蜜。”）可知，Gonzalez对使用氧化铅粉末的态度是支持的。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.”（Gonzalez说：“我们所说的只是知识中的一小块。”）可推知，《蒙娜丽莎》仍然有待揭示的秘密。故选A。 二、完形填空 Passage1.

What can you make with a 3D printer? Theoretically speaking, you can make anything with a 3D printer, though its main uses are in industries like manufacturing, prototyping, construction and medicine. However, now hobbyists can create the 1 items at home, and many are even selling their wares online as a part time job. 3D printers were also a critical tool 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic, when PPE was in short supply. Hospitals 3 on 3D printers to supply their staff with gowns, masks and respirators, as well as to create parts for ventilators. One Seattle high school student even 4 a mask factory from his home using a 3D printer. Now, with scientists able to create prosthetics (假肢) and implants via 3D printing, the 5 in medicine are arguably among some of the most exciting. They can also create 6 body parts like ears from stem cells, collagen and structural proteins in the human body called fibrin; this process is known as bioprinting, though much of it is still in the testing phases. 7 , researchers can test pharmaceuticals easily and ethically with tissue created from 3D printers. In the future, designers and hobbyists may not be asking the question “How do 3D printers work?” because 3D printers will likely be so 8 in our daily lives. Today, kids are being taught about 3D printing in elementary school, and many local libraries currently have the machines available, as do stores like UPS and Staples. Honestly, the possibilities are 9 in the aerospace, electronic, medical, energy and automotive industries, where 3D printers will become even more vital tools. While this can be handy when it comes to cars, which can be customized for buyers, it is even more essential in the 10 field. Although we’re still probably 10 to 15 years away from 3D printed organs like kidneys, this scientific advancement is most definitely 11 . And 12 the opportunities in space, where the defense and aerospace 3D printing market is expected to reach $ 5. 58 billion by 2026. In the future, 3D printing could transform space exploration and space tourism by allowing astronauts to create objects 13 while in space. Imagine a future in which buildings and food are created in space! When will you be able to print nearly anything at home?

We could not go for a walk that 1 . There was such a freezing cold wind, and such heavy rain, that we all stayed indoors. I was glad of it. I 2 liked long walks, especially in winter. I used to hate coming home when it was almost dark, with ice-cold fingers and toes, feeling miserable because Bessie, the nursemaid, was always scolding me. All the time I knew I was different from my cousins, Eliza, John and Georgiana Reed. They were taller and stronger than me, and they were 3 .   These 4 usually spent their time crying and quarrelling, but today they were sitting 5 around their mother in the sitting-room. I wanted to join the family circle, but Mrs Reed, my aunt, refused. Bessie had complainted about me.   “No, I’m sorry, Jane. 6 I hear from Bessie, or see for myself, that you are really trying to behave better, you cannot be treated as a good, happy child, like my children.” “What does Bessie say I have done?” I asked.   “Jane, it is not polite to 7 me in that way. If you cannot speak pleasantly, be quiet.” I 8 out of the sitting-room and into the small room next door, 9 I chose a book full of pictures from the bookcase. I 10 to the window-seat and drew the 11 , so that I was completely hidden. I sat there for a while. Sometimes I looked out of the window at the grey November afternoon, and saw the rain pouring down on the leafless garden. But most of the time I studied the book and stared, fascinated, at the pictures. Lost in the world of imagination, I forgot my sad, lonely existence for a while, and was happy, I was only afraid that my secret hiding-place might be discovered. 12 the door of the room opened. John Reed rushed in. “Where are you, rat?” he shouted. He did not see me behind the curtain. “Eliza! Georgy! Jane isn’t here!
