When you are online，you can be anyone or anything.You can create your own image and a new personality②.These digital identities，known as avatars，are a key part of how people use the Internet to communicate and express themselves. [1] [1]该句的主干是“These digital identities are a key part”。其中known as avatars是过去分词短语作定语，修饰名词identities；“how people use...express themselves”是宾语从句，作介词of的宾语。 The first simple 2D③ avatars appeared④ in role-playing computer games⑤ in the 1980s.Yet，very few people knew that future avatars would have such a wide variety of⑥ forms and uses.By the late 1990s，they had been used in web chats⑦. [2] [2]该句中使用了过去完成时的被动语态。此处they指代前文提到的avatars，与use是动宾关系，故用被动语态。根据时间状语By the late 1990s，本句谓语应用过去完成时。 When people started creating their own avatars，they discovered that they were going to have the power to create new identities that did not look or act like their real selves⑧ at all. [3] They could dress their avatars in⑨ fancy clothes，or they could try being someone of the opposite sex⑩，and call themselves “Andy” instead of “Anna”！ When Internet users realised that their avatars would be seen [4] by many people，not just their friends，they started having more than one avatar：a sensible⑪ one for work；a friendly，good-looking⑫ one for meeting people；and a silly one for having fun.Avatars let you express yourself and give you lots of room for creativity⑬． 学生用书第9页 [3]本句为主从复合句。“When people...avatars”为When引导的时间状语从句；“that they were...at all”为that引导的宾语从句，作动词discovered的宾语，其中“that did not...at all”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词new identities。 [4]此处使用了过去将来时的被动语态。see与their avatars之间为动宾关系，故用被动语态；又因see表示的动作发生在realised之后，但仍发生在过去的时间里，故用过去将来时。 Of course，the avatar you choose says a lot about your personality.If your blog⑭ avatar is a picture of a cute cat，your message is “I like relaxing and having fun”．Well-known cartoon characters or laughing monkeys say “I’m a really funny person”．Most people create avatars that have similar features to their personalities and that look more or less⑮ like them and act like them. [5] However，nearly all avatars are tall，young and nice-looking，so people obviously⑯ make their avatars look better than they do in real life.They also experiment⑰ with things like different hairstyles⑱—which says a lot，perhaps，about what they want to look like. [5]本句是主从复合句。其中两个that引导的定语从句均修饰同一个先行词avatars。在这种句型中，通常用并列连词将两个定语从句连接起来。在正式文体中，第二个定语从句须重复相同的关系代词。 Nowadays⑲，avatars are everywhere.In most web chats，people choose an avatar from a selection⑳ of ready-made㉑ images，or create their own images.You can also use avatars that move around and talk when you type in㉒ your message. [6] The avatars in online worlds can talk，walk and fly around，meet people，go shopping and attend classes㉓. [6]本句为主从复合句。“when you type in your message”为when引导的时间状语从句。“that move around and talk”是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词avatars。 学生用书第10页 The use of avatars has also caused a few concerns㉔.Some users worry that they are spending so much time in virtual worlds that they are becoming afraid of meeting people in the real world. [7]The use of several avatars can also be a risk㉕，as people can use avatars to cheat㉖ others online.However，other users view㉗ avatars in a more positive light㉘.They look forward to㉙a time when their avatar will act like a real person and travel around bigger，more exciting virtual worlds [8]. [7]“that they are spending...real world”为that引导的宾语从句，作动词worry的宾语；在宾语从句中包含“so...that...”结构，此结构中的that引导结果状语从句。 [8]“when their...worlds”为when引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a time。 ◎ 虚拟形象 你选择的虚拟形象能透露出你的很多信息。这篇文章将帮助你更好地理解关于虚拟形象的选择。 当你上网时，你可以是任何人或任何事物。你可以创设自己的形象，并且拥有新的个性。这些数字身份被称作“虚拟形象”，是人们利用互联网进行交流和表达自己的关键部分。 简单的二维虚拟形象最早出现在20世纪80年代的角色扮演电脑游戏中。然而，很少有人知道未来的虚拟形象会有如此广泛的形式和用途。到20世纪90年代末，虚拟形象就已经用于网络聊天中了。 当人们开始创设自己的虚拟形象时，他们发现自己将有能力创设新的身份，这种身份的外观和行为完全不像他们真实的自己。他们可以给自己的虚拟形象穿上精致的衣服，或者尝试换个性别，并给自己取名为“安迪”，而不是“安娜”！当互联网用户意识到很多人会看到他们的虚拟形象，而不仅仅是他们的朋友时，他们开始使用不止一个虚拟形象：一个朴素实用的虚拟形象用于工作；一个友好的、漂亮的虚拟形象用于交友；一个傻乎乎的虚拟形象用于取乐。虚拟形象让你可以表达自己，还给你很多创造空间。 当然，你所选择的虚拟形象会在很大程度上显露你的个性。如果你的博客头像是一只可爱的猫，你传递的信息是“我喜欢放松和玩乐”。著名的卡通角色或大笑的猴子表示“我是个很有趣的人”。大多数人创设的虚拟形象与他们的个性有着相似的特征，看起来或多或少像他们，在行为上也像他们。然而，几乎所有的虚拟形象都个头高挑、年轻、面容姣好，所以人们显然想让他们的虚拟形象看起来比现实生活中更好。人们还进行尝试，例如换不同的发型，这可能从很大程度上透露了他们希望自己看起来是什么样子。 现在，虚拟形象无处不在。在大多数网络聊天中，人们都是从现成的图片中选择一个作为虚拟形象，或者创建自己的图片。你还可以使用在输入信息时能够活动或说话的虚拟形象。网络世界中的虚拟形象可以交谈、行走、四处飞行，还可以结识他人、购物和上课。 虚拟形象的使用也引起了一些担忧。一些用户担心他们在虚拟世界中花费了太多时间，以至于变得害怕在现实世界中与人见面。使用多个虚拟形象也可能会带来风险，因为有人可能会在网上使用虚拟形象欺骗他人。然而，其他用户则从更为积极的角度看待虚拟形象。他们期待着有朝一日，自己的虚拟形象会像真人一样去环游更广阔、更精彩的虚拟世界。 学生用书第11页 ◎阅读单词——识记 1．public image 公众形象 2．conduct an experiment 进行实验 3．change your hairstyle 改变你的发型 4．a rare blood type 一种罕见的血液类型 5．cheat others online 在网上欺骗他人 6．view challenges as opportunities 将挑战视为机会 ◎核心单词——练通 1．fancy dress 花哨的衣服 2．a sensible girl 一个明智的女孩 3．travel blog 旅行博客 4．guess the sex of their unborn baby 猜测他们未出生的孩子的性别 5．virtual reality 虚拟现实 ◎拓展单词——用活 1．trick vt.欺骗，诱骗，哄骗→tricky adj.狡猾的，诡计多端的；难办的，难对付的 2．identityn.身份；特征→identify vt.找到，发现；确认，认出；显示，说明身份→identification n．鉴定；辨认；确认；身份证明 3．varietyn.多样化，变化→vary vi.变化；(大小、形状等)相异，不同→various adj.各种各样的，各种不同的 4．creativityn.创造力；独创性→create vt.创造→creative adj.创造(性)的，创新的→creator n．创造者，创作者→creation n．创造，产物 5．obviouslyadv.显而易见地，明显地→obvious adj.明显的，显然的 6．selectionn.供选择的同类物品；选择→select vt.挑选，选择→selective adj.选择性的；有选择的；认真挑选的 7．concernn.担忧，忧虑vt.与……有关；使担心→concerned adj.关切的，关心的；焦急的，担忧的→concerning prep.关于；涉及 ◎重点短语——再现 第一组　汉译英 1．a variety of 各种各样的 2．not...at all 一点也不 3．more or less 几乎，差不多；或多或少 4．look forward to (高兴地)盼望，期待 第二组　英译汉 5．the opposite sex 异性 6．attend classes 上课 7．type in 将(文字等)输入，键入 8．view...in a positive light 从积极的角度来看待…… ◎典型句式——默背 1．句型公式　过去分词短语作定语 教材原句　These digital identities，known as avatars (被称作虚拟形象)，are a key part of how people use the Internet to communicate and express themselves. 2．句型公式　“so...that...”意为“如此……以至于……” 教材原句　Some users worry that they are spending so much time in virtual worlds that (在虚拟世界中花费太多时间以至于) they are becoming afraid of meeting people in the real world. 3．句型公式　what引导名词性从句 教材原句　They also experiment with things like different hairstyles—which says a lot，perhaps，about what they want to look like (他们想要看起来像什么). 4．句型公式　that引导定语从句 教材原句　Most people create avatars that have similar features to their personalities (和他们的个性有相似的特征)and that look more or less like them and act like them. 学生用书第12页 Ⅰ.核心词汇练全 trick vt.欺骗，诱骗，哄骗 n．诡计，花招，骗局；技巧，诀窍 (教材原句)to trick others用来欺骗他人 (1)trick sb into doing sth 诱骗/哄骗某人做某事 trick sb out of sth 骗走某人某物，诈骗某人某物 play a trick/tricks on sb 捉弄某人，对某人恶作剧 do the trick 奏效 (2)tricky adj. 难对付的；狡猾的，诡计多端的 一词多义/单句语法填空/句式升级 ①He knows a trick to solve difficult math problems quickly. n.技巧，诀窍 ②The thief used a trick to steal the woman’s handbag without her noticing. n.诡计，花招 ③He tricked his sister into eating a hot pepper thinking it was a sweet vegetable. vt.欺骗，诱骗，哄骗 ④If the neighbors do not give any sweets，the children might play a trick on them. ⑤The old man was tricked (trick) out of all his life savings yesterday. ⑥The test had several tricky (trick) questions that required careful thinking to answer correctly. ⑦The young man cried sadly because his partner tricked him out of all his money. →Tricked out of all his money， the young man cried sadly.(过去分词作状语) variety n．多样化，变化 (教材原句)Yet，very few people knew that future avatars would have such a wide variety of forms and uses. 然而，很少有人知道虚拟形象后来会有如此广泛的形式和用途。 (1)a variety of/varieties of 各种各样的 (2)vary v． 变化；改变 vary from...to... 从……到……不等 vary with... 随……而变 (3)various adj. 各种各样的 学生用书第13页 [中国元素]　Chinese cuisine offers a wide variety of flavors and regional dishes，ranging from spicy Sichuan cuisine to delicate Cantonese dim sum. 中国菜肴提供了多种多样的口味和地方菜肴，从辣的四川菜到精致的广东点心。 单句语法填空/词汇升级 ①The store offers various (vary) sizes of clothing to cater to different body types. ②The price of a ticket for the concert can vary from $50 to $200，depending on the seating section. ③The prices of vegetables vary with the seasons，with some becoming more expensive during the winter months. ④Students have the opportunity to participate in many activities. →Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of /varieties of activities.

[素能提升练] Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题5分，共40分) A (2024·常州市金坛区高一上期中调研) At first，they sounded distant，as if they were around a phone in a prison. But as we chatted，they slowly started to sound more like themselves. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. I learned about the first time my dad got drunk. Mum talked about getting in trouble for staying out late. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods，as well as my own. It was amazing. For a moment I forgot I wasn’t really talking to my parents at all，but to their digital copies. This Mum and Dad live inside an app on my phone as voice assistants created by the company HereAfter AI. The company’s goal is to let the living communicate with the dead. Technology like this，which lets you “talk” to people who have died，has been a mainstay of science fiction for decades. But now it’s becoming a reality，thanks to advances in AI and voice technology. I wanted to test out what it might be like. My real，flesh-and-blood parents are still alive and well; their virtual versions (虚拟版) were made just to help me understand the technology. But their digital copies offer a glimpse at a world where it’s possible to have conversations with loved ones long after they’re gone. From what I could know over a dozen conversations with my virtual parents，this really will make it easier to keep the people we loved close. It’s not hard to see the attraction. People might turn to digital copies for comfort，or to mark special occasions like anniversaries. But for some，this tech may be alarming or frightening. When I talked to friends about this article，some of them just went away. There’s a common，deeply held belief that we shouldn’t mess with death. But I’m only human，and that worry ends up being washed away by the even scarier possibility of losing the people I love. If technology might help me hang onto them，is it so wrong to try? 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者手机上的一个应用程序里，是一家名为HereAfter AI的公司开发的语音助手。该公司的目标是让生者与死者交流。现在，由于人工智能和语音技术的进步，它正在成为现实。 1．Why does the writer describe “the talk” in Paragraph 1? A．To present his opinion. B．To create a warm scene. C．To introduce the topic of the text. D．To add some background information. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“For a moment I forgot I wasn’t really talking to my parents at all，but to their digital copies.”以及第二段中“This Mum and Dad live inside an app on my phone as voice assistants created by the company HereAfter AI.”可推知，作者在第一段描述“谈话”是为了介绍本文的主题。故选C项。 2．What can we learn about the technology mentioned? A．It allows users to live on an app. B．It leads users to lose their friends. C．It is invented by a science fiction writer. D．It offers a link between the dead and the living. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“The company’s goal is to let the living communicate with the dead. Technology like this，which lets you ‘talk’ to people who have died”可知，我们能从提到的技术中了解到它提供了生者与死者之间的联系。故选D项。 3．What is the writer’s attitude towards the technology? A．Supportive. B．Unclear. C．Objective. D．Doubtful. 答案：A 解析：观点态度题。根据第三段中“From what I could know...to see the attraction.”以及最后一段内容可推知，作者对这项技术的态度是支持的。故选A项。 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．You can talk to your parents B．Parents appear on your phone C．AI means never having to say goodbye D．A breakthrough in AI may benefit you 答案：C 解析：标题归纳题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“The company’s goal is to let the living communicate...advances in AI and voice technology.”可知，本文讲述了HereAfter AI的公司开发的语音助手，该公司的目标是让生者与死者交流。现在，由于人工智能和语音技术的进步，它正在成为现实。故C项“人工智能意味着永远不必说再见”最适合作文章标题。故选C项。 B (2024·山东省烟台市高一上期中) People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new solution called Seatrac，which allows people in wheelchairs to get into the water on their own. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea，the person can either remain in the chair，enjoying the water; or go for a swim. The chair can be controlled from a long distance. When the person is ready to get out of the water，the Seatrac system (系统) brings the chair back to the top of the walkway. Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors，Fotiou，was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend expressed his enjoyment of the sea but disliked being carried into the ocean like “a bag of potatoes”. Fotiou realized there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked with his partners to design the system，finally forming a company called TOBEA to build and sell the system. TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control.
