Dead Poets Society (1989) In a school, where discipline (纪律) is strict, a new English teacher takes a breather among the strict disciplinarians. He tells students to live their lives in their own way and not to live up to someone’s expectations. The character, John Keating, demonstrates the importance of self- achieving to the students through his words and deeds. Mona Lisa Smile (2003) In the fifties, Katherine takes up the job of teaching Art History in a conservative (保守的) Wellesley College for women. During her time there, she ends up learning the many aspects of her students, and she manages to influence every one of them through her unique way of looking at life. Her teaching inspires the young women students to question the common laws of society. Taare Zameen Par (2007) A naughty kid named Ishaan ends up being in a boarding school thanks to his low grades in school exams. Being ashamed of his inabilities in the standard world of studies, he goes to his shell. Just at this time, a teacher comes to the school. With enthusiasm and care, he brings out a positive change in the kid. The Class (2008) The Class is the story of a teacher and his experience of dealing with teenagers. Francois Marin deals with teenage problems in his class in his way. It is a wonderful film where a teacher decides to treat his young students as adults and, in the process, learns something about himself. 1. What is the common characteristic of the teachers in the first two movies? A. Being hardworking. B. Being determined. C. Being well-rounded. D. Being progressive-minded. 2. What message does the movie Taare Zameen Par express? A. Learning is never finished. B. Education is the bridge to success. C. Without love, there is no education. D. Education is about opening the mind. 3. Which movie shows the significance of treating students as adults? A. Dead Poets Society B. Mona Lisa Smile. C. Taare Zameen Par. D. The Class. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四部具有影响力的以教师为主题的电影，这些电影从独特的视角展现了教育年轻心灵所面临的挑战和成功。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中的“Dead Poets Society”中对John Keating的描述，“He tells students to live their lives in their own way and not to live up to someone’s expectations.(他告诉学生要按照自己的方式生活，而不是为了迎合别人的期望而活。)”以及“Mona Lisa Smile”中Katherine的行为描述，“She manages to influence every one of them through her unique way of looking at life.Her teaching inspires the young women students to question the common laws of society.(她通过自己独特的生活观影响了每一位学生。她的教学激励年轻女学生质疑社会的普遍规律。)”可以推断出，这两部电影中的教师都是通过非传统和进步的思想影响学生，启发他们打破常规限制。因此，两部电影中教师的共同特点是思想进步。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。从“Taare Zameen Par”中的叙述，“With enthusiasm and care, he brings out a positive change in the kid.(带着热情和关怀，他给这个孩子带来了积极的变化。)”可知，该电影中的教师通过热情和关爱使学生变得积极，因此该电影表达的核心信息是教育需要爱和关怀，才能真正触动并改变学生的心灵。因此，选项C（没有爱就没有教育）符合题意。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Class”的描述，“It is a wonderful film where a teacher decides to treat his young students as adults and, in the process, learns something about himself.(这是一部精彩的电影，讲述了一位老师决定像对待成年人一样对待他的年轻学生，并在此过程中了解了自己的一些事情。)”可知，这部电影展现了将学生视为成年人对待的重要性。故选D。 B When I started my faculty position(教师职位), I was excited to be leading my own lab- and nervous. I’m deaf and rely on lip- reading for verbal communication. I had managed fine as a postdoc(博士后), though not without challenges. But leading a team was different. I had no idea whether I would be able to communicate effectively with my lab members. My pronunciation is sometimes off because of my disability, which leads some people to believe that I lack intelligence. But after almost 2 years in the position, I’ ve come up with a set of solutions to help me out. In addition to regular one- on- one meetings with my students, I decided to have each student work with me for entire days in the lab when they first join my group. That way, they can see what I’m doing and ask questions as we go along. And time with the students allows me to carefully explain the principle behind each experimental step. I also established written communication as the most important way to exchange information. Through instant messaging services, I can quickly reach out to my students and share ideas, materials and links. Before they get going with any experiment, I ask them to write a detailed protocol(实验计划) as well, which has allowed me to double- check whenever I spot something that I must have missed during our verbal discussions. At first, I feared my students would feel that writing out all of their experimental design steps and data analysis plans was unnecessary. But they’ve told me this step allows them to deepen their understanding of the project before starting experiments. I’m still early in my faculty career, but I feel these strategies are working well for me. I no longer worry that I’m missing important information. And I’ve been able to guide students in a way that would have been difficult for me to do through verbal communication alone. Looking back, I wish I’d followed these strategies earlier in my career. 4. What was the author’s concern at the beginning of his faculty position? A. He couldn’t get along with others. B. He had insufficient work experience. C. He couldn’t focus on scientific research. D. He would suffer communication problems. 5. Which of the following shows the author’s efforts to improve his teaching effect? A. Encouraging communication in various ways. B. Strengthening students’ interest in science. C. Connecting students whenever possible. D. Asking students to learn lip- reading. 6. What was the result of the students’ writing down protocols? A. It practiced their writing skills. B. It slowed down the project process. C. It benefited both the author and the students. D. It inspired them to come up with new ideas. 7. What is the author’s tone(语气) at the end of the text? A. Surprised. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Anxious. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因为听力障碍在成为教授后与学生交流时遇到的问题，以及作者针对这些问题所想出的解决方法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I’m deaf and rely on lip- reading for verbal communication. I had managed fine as a postdoc(博士后), though not without challenges. But leading a team was different. I had no idea whether I would be able to communicate effectively with my lab members.( 我是个聋子，依靠唇读来进行口头交流。作为一个博士后，我做得很好，尽管不是没有挑战。但是领导一个团队是不同的。我不知道我是否能够有效地与我的实验室成员沟通。)”可知，作者在担任教职之初担心他会有沟通问题。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In addition to regular one- on- one meetings with my students, I decided to have each student work with me for entire days in the lab when they first join my group.( 除了定期与我的学生进行一对一的会面外，我还决定让每个学生刚加入我的小组时，在实验室里和我一起工作一整天。)”以及第三段中“I also established written communication as the most important way to exchange information.( 我还建立了书面交流作为最重要的方式来交换信息。)”可知，作者为提高教学效果所做的努力是鼓励以各种方式交流。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Before they get going with any experiment, I ask them to write a detailed protocol(实验计划) as well, which has allowed me to double- check whenever I spot something that I must have missed during our verbal discussions.( 在他们开始任何实验之前，我要求他们也写一份详细的协议，这使我能够在发现一些我在口头讨论中肯定错过的东西时进行双重检查。)”以及第四段中“But they’ve told me this step allows them to deepen their understanding of the project before starting experiments.( 但他们告诉我，这一步可以让他们在开始实验之前加深对项目的理解。)”可知，学生们把实验计划写下来的结果是使他们加深对项目的理解，同时这一做法也使作者更清楚地了解项目情况。由此可推知，学生们写下协议的结果是作者和学生都从中受益。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’m still early in my faculty career, but I feel these strategies are working well for me. I no longer worry that I’m missing important information.”（我仍处于教师生涯的初期，但我觉得这些策略对我很有用。我不再担心错过重要信息。）可推知，作者对自己采取的策略充满信心。故选B。 C Many of the technologies we use today were first presented in science fiction. In Star Trek, the folks regularly send themselves to and from distant sites. The process appears to break down people’s bodies into their basic parts, and then stream them to some destination where they regroup perfectly. That type of teleportation (瞬间移动) is a long way off, scientists say. Fortunately, another type — virtual teleportation is already here. Recently, NASA sent one of its doctors, Josef Schmid, to the International Space Station (ISS) to give an astronaut a virtual medical examination. The space agency used a technique which combines holography (全息摄影术) with extended reality (XR). The headset had an entire holographic computer inside. A motion-sensing camera used advanced sensors to get high-quality 3-D “models” of the team to be “transported”. Those data were then sent live to the ISS. Schmid is a NASA flight doctor, taking care of astronauts and their families. But for his visit to the ISS, he never left Earth. NASA projected him and other members of the team up there as a 3-D hologram. The astronauts could see the virtual visitors and communicate with them in real time. “We knew we were connected when the crew member wearing the headset said, ‘Whoa!’” recalls Schmid. “We were floating in front of him as if we were there.” But Schmid and the others remained at NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston. “It was like I was on the ISS,” Schmid recalls. The imagery wasn’t flawless. There were pixelation (像素) issues. And sometimes the linkup turned unreliable. But for Schmid, it felt like looking into the future. While “on” the ISS, he showed how to do a knee medical examination on astronaut Thomas Pesquet. Then he virtually shook Thomas’ hand. Schmid hopes NASA will use two motion-sensing cameras. That way, people in both places — on Earth and in space — can be “present” in each other’s spaces as holograms, allowing them to feel closer and more interactive. He looks forward to such house calls. Or in this case, maybe they’d be “space calls”? 8. What does the author intend to show with the example of Star Trek? A. Technology is growing at high rates. B. Many scientists are science fiction fans. C. Science fiction creates many classic characters. D. Science fiction inspires technological advances. 9. How did Schmid carry out medical tests on the astronauts? A. By referring to their holographic data. B. By talking with them as a 3-D hologram. C. By checking the 3-D images of their body. D. By making regular space trips. 10. What does the underlined word “flawless” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Realistic. B. Timely. C. Detailed. D. Perfect. 11. Why did Schmid suggest using two motion-sensing cameras? A. To promote interactions. B. To improve work efficiency. C. To look after more astronauts. D. To add fun to his work. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国国家航空航天局利用全息摄影和扩展现实技术实现了一名医生与国际空间站宇航员之间的虚拟互动，以及这项技术的具体应用和未来展望。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Many of the technologies we use today were first presented in science fiction. In Star Trek, the folks regularly send themselves to and from distant sites.(我们今天使用的许多技术最初都是在科幻作品中呈现的。在《星际迷航》中，人们经常将自己传送到遥远的地方)”及“That type of teleportation (瞬间移动) is a long way off, scientists say. Fortunately, another type — virtual teleportation is already here.(科学家们说，那种类型的瞬间移动距离实现还有很长的路要走。幸运的是，另一种类型——虚拟瞬间移动已经实现了)”可知，虽然某些科幻技术尚未实现，但现实中的技术发展非常迅速，已经在很多方面实现了类似的突破，作者以《星际迷航》为例是想表明技术正以高速发展。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“NASA projected him and other members of the team up there as a 3-D hologram. The astronauts could see the virtual visitors and communicate with them in real time.(NASA 将他和其他团队成员以3D全息影像的形式投射到了太空中。宇航员可以看到这些虚拟访客并与他们实时交流)”可知，Schmid是通过作为3D全息图与宇航员交谈来进行医疗检查的。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“There were pixelation (像素) issues. And sometimes the linkup turned unreliable.(有时会出现像素化问题。而且链接偶尔也会变得不稳定)”可知，全息影像有像素问题，有时连接变得不可靠，说明全息影像并不完美，由此可知划线单词“flawless”意思是“完美的”。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Schmid hopes NASA will use two motion-sensing cameras. That way, people in both places — on Earth and in space — can be ‘present’ in each other’s spaces as holograms, allowing them to feel closer and more interactive.(Schmid希望NASA能使用两个动作感应摄像头。这样，地球和太空中的人都可以以全息影像的形式“出现”在对方的空间里，使他们感觉更加亲近，互动更频繁)”可知，Schmid建议使用两个动作感应摄像头是为了促进互动。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 A professional motivational (激励的) speaker is a person who delivers speeches designed to inspire others. ___12___ They positively present their ideas and encourage others to follow their way of thinking.

Dead Poets Society (1989) In a school, where discipline (纪律) is strict, a new English teacher takes a breather among the strict disciplinarians. He tells students to live their lives in their own way and not to live up to someone’s expectations. The character, John Keating, demonstrates the importance of self- achieving to the students through his words and deeds. Mona Lisa Smile (2003) In the fifties, Katherine takes up the job of teaching Art History in a conservative (保守的) Wellesley College for women. During her time there, she ends up learning the many aspects of her students, and she manages to influence every one of them through her unique way of looking at life. Her teaching inspires the young women students to question the common laws of society. Taare Zameen Par (2007) A naughty kid named Ishaan ends up being in a boarding school thanks to his low grades in school exams. Being ashamed of his inabilities in the standard world of studies, he goes to his shell. Just at this time, a teacher comes to the school. With enthusiasm and care, he brings out a positive change in the kid. The Class (2008) The Class is the story of a teacher and his experience of dealing with teenagers. Francois Marin deals with teenage problems in his class in his way. It is a wonderful film where a teacher decides to treat his young students as adults and in the process, learns something about himself. 1. What is the common characteristic of the teachers in the first two movies? A. Being hardworking. B. Being determined. C. Being well-rounded. D. Being progressive-minded. 2. What message does the movie Taare Zameen Par express? A. Learning is never finished. B. Education is the bridge to success. C. Without love, there is no education. D. Education is about opening the mind. 3. Which movie shows the significance of treating students as adults? A. Dead Poets Society B. Mona Lisa Smile. C. Taare Zameen Par. D. The Class. B When I started my faculty position(教师职位), I was excited to be leading my own lab- and nervous. I’m deaf and rely on lip- reading for verbal communication. I had managed fine as a postdoc(博士后), though not without challenges. But leading a team was different. I had no idea whether I would be able to communicate effectively with my lab members. My pronunciation is sometimes off because of my disability, which leads some people to believe that I lack intelligence. But after almost 2 years in the position, I’ ve come up with a set of solutions to help me out. In addition to regular one- on- one meetings with my students, I decided to have each student work with me for entire days in the lab when they first join my group. That way, they can see what I’m doing and ask questions as we go along. And time with the students allows me to carefully explain the principle behind each experimental step. I also established written communication as the most important way to exchange information. Through instant messaging services I can quickly reach out to my students and share ideas, materials and links. Before they get going with any experiment, I ask them to write a detailed protocol(实验计划) as well, which has allowed me to double- check whenever I spot something that I must have missed during our verbal discussions. At first, I feared my students would feel that writing out all of their experimental design steps and data analysis plans was unnecessary. But they’ve told me this step allows them to deepen their understanding of the project before starting experiments. I’m still early in my faculty career, but I feel these strategies are working well for me. I no longer worry that I’m missing important information. And I’ve been able to guide students in a way that would have been difficult for me to do through verbal communication alone. Looking back, I wish I’d followed these strategies earlier in my career. 4. What was the author’s concern at the beginning of his faculty position? A. He couldn’t get along with others. B. He had insufficient work experience. C. He couldn’t focus on scientific research. D. He would suffer communication problems. 5. Which of the following shows the author’s efforts to improve his teaching effect? A. Encouraging communication in various ways. B. Strengthening students’ interest in science. C. Connecting students whenever possible. D. Asking students to learn lip- reading. 6. What was the result of the students’ writing down protocols? A. It practiced their writing skills. B. It slowed down the project process. C. It benefited both the author and the students. D. It inspired them to come up with new ideas. 7. What is the author’s tone(语气) at the end of the text? A. Surprised. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Anxious. C Many of the technologies we use today were first presented in science fiction. In Star Trek, the folks regularly send themselves to and from distant sites. The process appears to break down people’s bodies into their basic parts, and then stream them to some destination where they regroup perfectly. That type of teleportation (瞬间移动) is a long way off, scientists say. Fortunately, another type — virtual teleportation is already here. Recently, NASA sent one of its doctors, Josef Schmid, to the International Space Station (ISS) to give an astronaut a virtual medical examination. The space agency used a technique which combines holography (全息摄影术) with extended reality (XR). The headset had an entire holographic computer inside. A motion-sensing camera used advanced sensors to get high-quality 3-D “models” of the team to be “transported”. Those data were then sent live to the ISS. Schmid is a NASA flight doctor, taking care of astronauts and their families. But for his visit to the ISS, he never left Earth. NASA projected him and other members of the team up there as a 3-D hologram. The astronauts could see the virtual visitors and communicate with them in real time. “We knew we were connected when the crew member wearing the headset said, ‘Whoa!’” recalls Schmid. “We were floating in front of him as if we were there.” But Schmid and the others remained at NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston. “It was like I was on the ISS,” Schmid recalls. The imagery wasn’t flawless. There were pixelation (像素) issues. And sometimes the linkup turned unreliable. But for Schmid, it felt like looking into the future. While “on” the ISS, he showed how to do a knee medical examination on astronaut Thomas Pesquet. Then he virtually shook Thomas’ hand. Schmid hopes NASA will use two motion-sensing cameras. That way, people in both places — on Earth and in space — can be “present” in each other’s spaces as holograms, allowing them to feel closer and more interactive. He looks forward to such house calls. Or in this case, maybe they’d be “space calls”? 8. What does the author intend to show with the example of Star Trek? A. Technology is growing at high rates. B. Many scientists are science fiction fans. C. Science fiction creates many classic characters. D. Science fiction inspires technological advances. 9. How did Schmid carry out medical tests on the astronauts? A. By referring to their holographic data. B. By talking with them as a 3-D hologram. C. By checking the 3-D images of their body. D. By making regular space trips. 10. What does the underlined word “flawless” in the fourth paragraph mean? A Realistic. B. Timely. C. Detailed. D. Perfect. 11. Why did Schmid suggest using two motion-sensing cameras? A. To promote interactions. B. To improve work efficiency. C. To look after more astronauts. D. To add fun to his work. 第二节 (共5小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 A professional motivational (激励的) speaker is a person who delivers speeches designed to inspire others. ___12___ They positively present their ideas and encourage others to follow their way of thinking.
