2025届高考英语总复习语法专题——让步与转折逻辑 导学案

2025届逻辑备考专题之让步和转折 When you get up in the morning, what is the first thing that you tend to do? By chance, is it to check noti- fications on a cell phone? 1 That usually means using the newest technology in nearly every aspect of life. 2 One sensible approach is to set goals, use time limits, and avoid letting any single medium or electronic platform take up the lion’s share of your time. One major impact of advanced technology has been the change in the way people read. After centuries of reading the printed page, people now do much of their reading on various kinds of screens for the reason that the shift is convenient and cost-effective. 3 One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary eyes. In addition, recent research has found advantages to reading on paper. Professor Virginia Clinton of the University of North Dakota examined results from 33 studies on reading. This research indicates that students demonstrated better comprehension when reading on paper rather than on screens. 4 It simply suggests that reading on paper has not yet lost its value. How often do people find themselves watching videos or using websites only to find that hours have passed with their original goal unfulfilled? That is because designers use artificial intelligence to create video feeds and music streaming programs that absorb your attention for as long as possible. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be able to take a step back. 5 In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency. A. Sometimes, small changes can go a long way. B. That does not mean to never read on a phone. C. The value of it often depends on the judgment of the user. D. However, some people choose to read on paper when possible. E. For many, keeping up with the most current information is a must. F. Sometimes, though, constant connectivity can become a bit overwhelming. G. Users should establish reasonable usage time limits based on their actual needs. 联合测评卷 1.Wildlife documentaries are known for offering breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats. You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal (描绘) of these animals－an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young. 6 While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programs later by human "Foley artists(拟音师)". 7 Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they typically can't get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals. 8 There will probably be background noises such as crew members chatting or walking around if sounds are recorded on location. In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can't capture clearly."Foley artists" will use a variety of tools to simulate (模拟) the sounds made by animals. And most of them will create the close-up sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths.These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they're paired with. 9 Animal cries－which are far too complex to be simulated－will have to be taken from library recordings. Watching "Foley artists" at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done. 10 Sounds have the ability to affect how we understand a given species. The way certain animals are portrayed in popular media may affect support for conservation efforts. A. But this isn't quite the case. B. There are some exceptions, though. C. The Foley process involves a large team. D. "Foley artists" are creative and resourceful. E. Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews. F. Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further. G. This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking. 共性错题 正/反 but /however/whereas/nevertheless /though, /yet / still 反/正 may/might had planned / thought/ expected/anticipated would/could/should/might have done was/were going to do sth tried /attempted / offered to do sth used to do sth but / however but no luck/without success/ in vain but now 对接高考 (2024新1）Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿). 11 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. 12 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. 13 It should give you a precise definiton of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 14 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味)work,” wrote Johnson，illustrating one definition of “dull”. 15 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. 错题2： 2.Some young people feel that Al generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the“Top-40”artists. However, Al generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their Al influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because Al can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about concerning Al generated playlists? A. Their advantages. B. Their accessibility. C. Their limitations. D. Their development. 解题必备知识 转折意义的信息词和核心内容所在位置 1. 并列连词： but/yet/whereas 核心内容. 2. 副词： Yet, /Still, /However, /Nevertheless, 核心内容.

This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out? Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. 2 Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you' re considering giving him a light therapy(光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as “just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state? Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you've given. 3 The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly but many remember the one that went through his legs. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. 4 5 When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. A. The smell of a bad gift can delay. B. However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. C. Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts. D. There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. E. Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance. F. Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. G. Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. Passage 2 Sad feelings are a part of depression and related to other parts of depression including poor self-worth, poor sleep and difficulty enjoying things. 6 . We can remove sadness and start growing our happiness and well-being. Here are some ways to deal with sad feelings. Read some books on overcoming sadness There are so many science-based strategies you can use to defeat sadness. 7 . So grab some high-quality books or take an online program to boost happiness and learn the skills you need to decrease your sad feelings. Make a plan There are many actions you can take to beat sadness. Making a “happiness plan” can be helpful. 8 . Whatever works for you to ensure you’ll do the things that make you feel better is what matters most. 9 We’re on our phones 24-7. But spending too much time on our phones or the Internet is associated with higher levels of depression and loneliness. So you need to learn how to use phones in ways that increase happiness instead of sadness. Imagine a bright future If something has happened to us to make us sad, we might only think about the worst things that could happen. It’s common because we feel like if we think through these bad outcomes, we can better prepare. But it just makes us feel worse in the long run. 10 . My advice is to try to imagine a brighter future, even if only in an exercise to help your brain break through sad feelings. A. Outsmart your smartphone B. Focus on functions of phones C. For example, you can use one new sadness- breaking strategy each day D. Although we sometimes get caught in our sad feelings, we don’t have to E. Our sadness can develop into feeling all sorts of other negative emotions F. By reading self-help books, you can begin to learn and apply them to your life G. Many high-quality books written by scientists explain the causes and effects of sadness 考题3：阅读（考细节，主旨，猜词义） 细节与主旨题 Passage 1(2023 全国乙卷 ·篇·8分) Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape(风景)can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation地理差异. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devils Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz(石英)rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route(路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 1. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B.By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. 2. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. 3. What can we infer from.the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake ? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. 4.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting. Passage 2（2021 新1） Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的)intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test，such as character,motivation，confidence, mental stability,optimism and“people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence. We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角)from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction. 5.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence? A. It can be measured by an IQ test. B. It helps to exercise a person's mind. C. It includes a set of emotional skills. D. It refers to a person's positive qualities. 6. Why does the author mention“doctor”and “cheater” in paragraph 2? A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept. C. To present a fact. D.To make a prediction. 7.What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 8.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence? A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies. C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspective. Section1 （调考） Despite the differences between hybrid cars and regular cars, HEVs offer the same feel as regular cars. They run in the same way and speed up and stop in the same way, too. HEVs, though, are generally smaller than gasoline-powered cars. Their rounded, unique structure helps add to their fuel efficiency but unfortunately does not add to the amount of space inside the vehicle. 9. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. HEVs offer the same space as regular cars. B. In spite of differences, HEVs equal regular cars. C. The last difference between HEV and regular cars. D. The summary of differences between HEVs and regular cars. Section 2 （2022全甲）Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia.The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there－broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city. 10.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Sydney's striking architecture. B.The cultural diversity of Sydney. C.The key to Sydney's development. D. Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s. Section 3 （2023全新I）Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for goup discussion and decision-making are enormous. 11.What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D.Approving. Section 4 （2023浙1）Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation , interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society，in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines.And that's why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 12. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. Section 5 As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets. 13.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The changes of the author's life. B. The difficulties in biking at night. C. The reasons for enjoying the night ride D. The doubts about the author's social life. Section 6 In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry（织锦）that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 14.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. Section 7 （2023全乙）What comes into your mind when you think of British food ? Probably fish and chips，or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. 15. What do people usually think of British food ? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 猜词义 Section 1 （2020全1）While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that have to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends. 1. What does the underlined word “currency”in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Debt. B.Reward. C.Allowance. D.Face value. Section 2 （2020全新I）According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions ( 份)，it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid. 2. What does the underlined word“beanpoles”in paragraph 1 refer to? A.Big eaters. B. Overweight persons. C.Picky eaters. D.Tall thin persons. Section 3 （2023新II）In this “book of books, ” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations.

Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽)were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地).

The appeal of fireworks could fade out with the growing use of drones (无人机)for light shows, though. Ollie Howitt, a leader of SKYMAGIC,which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London's new year celebration last year, said the demand had increased greatly. “We do think it's going to be something ever eye-catching rather than being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there's no fallout. In that sense, they're a very good, sustainable option,” she said. But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “ Drones have less impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be much that‘green’,” he said. An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones tried to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there was the downside. “ Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. Therefore, it's important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimise the chance of accidents to the smallest degree," he said. Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don't conflict with each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill. “We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don't really see it as a one- replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it's merely another tool to light the sky,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images. 1. What does Howitt think of a drone display in Paragraph 2? A. It has an upward trend. B. It'll get us to reflect on energy crisis. C. It's nothing but a temporary phenomenon. D. It'll excite the public curiosity about science. 2. What does the underlined word “downside”in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Prospect. B. Puzzle. C. Weakness. D. Benefit. 3. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph? A. Promoting the production of drones. B. Diversifying the functions of drones. C. Stopping the displays of fireworks. D. Staging drone shows as an alternative. 4. In which section of a website can we read this text? A. Advertisement. B. Business. C. Entertainment. D. Environment. A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament（证明）to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart.” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures. Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance（言辞）remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry（织锦）that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 5. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 7. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 8. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. Recently, a topic featuring “Graduates avoid sending résumés out of social anxiety disorder” received many comments on Sina Weibo. It seems that social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia(恐惧症)，is affecting many people's lives. Over 80% of university students who took part in a survey tended to avoid social interaction due to an assumed social phobia. 9 For those who have a social phobia, everyday social situations cause strong fear beyond their control because they fear being watched or judged negatively by others. Having a social phobia can mean physical symptoms like blushing(脸红)，an upset stomach, or having trouble catching your breath. The good news is that it is treatable. 10 Avoiding social situations because of shyness might mean missing out on opportunities or being rude. I used to be so shy that I avoided greeting people I knew by pretending to scroll(滚屏) on my phone or turning in another direction. 11 When I saw him, I started scrolling on my phone as usual to avoid greeting him. But he immediately saw through it and asked,“Why did you pretend not to see me?" After my explanation, he replied, “I can relate to feeling awkward, but once someone realizes that you're avoiding him, it can come across as rude." 12 Being afraid of negative comments, they simply shut themselves off so that no one will have the chance to judge them. But socializing not only leads to judgment. If you're lucky enough, you may come across someone who gives direct but honest feedback, like what the senior journalist did for me. But if some people only offer you negative judgment, simply stay away from them. 13 Why give up on opportunities for social interaction because of fears of comments and judgment? A.After all, they are not making you any better. B.Understand it's perfectly fine to make mistakes. C.Here are some tips for overcoming a fear of social interaction. D.But is avoiding social interaction equal to having a social phobia? E.However, my attitude began to change when I met a senior journalist. F.But if you only feel a bit uncomfortable, it might mean you are just shy. G.Shy people avoid socializing because they take others’ opinions seriously.

By chance, is it to check noti- fications on a cell phone? 1 That usually means using the newest technology in nearly every aspect of life. 2 One sensible approach is to set goals, use time limits, and avoid letting any single medium or electronic platform take up the lion’s share of your time. One major impact of advanced technology has been the change in the way people read. After centuries of reading the printed page, people now do much of their reading on various kinds of screens for the reason that the shift is convenient and cost-effective. 3 One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary eyes. In addition, recent research has found advantages to reading on paper. Professor Virginia Clinton of the University of North Dakota examined results from 33 studies on reading. This research indicates that students demonstrated better comprehension when reading on paper rather than on screens. 4 It simply suggests that reading on paper has not yet lost its value. How often do people find themselves watching videos or using websites only to find that hours have passed with their original goal unfulfilled? That is because designers use artificial intelligence to create video feeds and music streaming programs that absorb your attention for as long as possible. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be able to take a step back. 5 In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency. A. Sometimes, small changes can go a long way. B. That does not mean to never read on a phone. C. The value of it often depends on the judgment of the user. D. However, some people choose to read on paper when possible. E. For many, keeping up with the most current information is a must. F. Sometimes, though, constant connectivity can become a bit overwhelming. G. Users should establish reasonable usage time limits based on their actual needs. EFDBG Wildlife documentaries are known for offering breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats. You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal (描绘) of these animals－an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young. 6 While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programs later by human "Foley artists(拟音师)". 7 Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they typically can't get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals. 8 There will probably be background noises such as crew members chatting or walking around if sounds are recorded on location. In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can't capture clearly."Foley artists" will use a variety of tools to simulate (模拟) the sounds made by animals. And most of them will create the close-up sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths.These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they're paired with. 9 Animal cries－which are far too complex to be simulated－will have to be taken from library recordings. Watching "Foley artists" at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done. 10 Sounds have the ability to affect how we understand a given species. The way certain animals are portrayed in popular media may affect support for conservation efforts. A. But this isn't quite the case. B. There are some exceptions, though. C. The Foley process involves a large team. D. "Foley artists" are creative and resourceful. E. Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews. F. Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further. G. This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking.

If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿). 11 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. 12 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. 13 It should give you a precise definiton of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 14 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味)work,” wrote Johnson，illustrating one definition of “dull”. 15 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. FBEAD 错题2： 2.Some young people feel that Al generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the“Top-40”artists. However, Al generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their Al influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because Al can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about concerning Al generated playlists? A. Their advantages. B. Their accessibility. C. Their limitations. D. Their development.

This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out? Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. 2 Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you' re considering giving him a light therapy(光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as “just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state? Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you've given. 3 The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly but many remember the one that went through his legs. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. 4 5 When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. A. The smell of a bad gift can delay. B. However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. C. Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts. D. There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. E. Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance. F. Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. G. Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. FDAGB Passage 2 Sad feelings are a part of depression and related to other parts of depression including poor self-worth, poor sleep and difficulty enjoying things. 6 . We can remove sadness and start growing our happiness and well-being. Here are some ways to deal with sad feelings.

So you need to learn how to use phones in ways that increase happiness instead of sadness. Imagine a bright future If something has happened to us to make us sad, we might only think about the worst things that could happen. It’s common because we feel like if we think through these bad outcomes, we can better prepare. But it just makes us feel worse in the long run. 10 . My advice is to try to imagine a brighter future, even if only in an exercise to help your brain break through sad feelings. A. Outsmart your smartphone B. Focus on functions of phones C. For example, you can use one new sadness- breaking strategy each day D. Although we sometimes get caught in our sad feelings, we don’t have to E. Our sadness can develop into feeling all sorts of other negative emotions F. By reading self-help books, you can begin to learn and apply them to your life G.

Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devils Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz(石英)rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route(路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 1. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B.By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. 2. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. 3. What can we infer from.the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake ? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. 4.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting. BACB Passage 2（2021 新1） Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的)intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test，such as character,motivation，confidence, mental stability,optimism and“people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence. We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角)from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction. 5.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence? A. It can be measured by an IQ test. B. It helps to exercise a person's mind. C. It includes a set of emotional skills. D. It refers to a person's positive qualities. 6. Why does the author mention“doctor”and “cheater” in paragraph 2? A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept. C. To present a fact. D.To make a prediction. 7.What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 8.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence? A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies. C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspective. DBAB Section1 （调考） Despite the differences between hybrid cars and regular cars, HEVs offer the same feel as regular cars. They run in the same way and speed up and stop in the same way, too. HEVs, though, are generally smaller than gasoline-powered cars. Their rounded, unique structure helps add to their fuel efficiency but unfortunately does not add to the amount of space inside the vehicle. 9. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. HEVs offer the same space as regular cars. B. In spite of differences, HEVs equal regular cars. C. The last difference between HEV and regular cars. D. The summary of differences between HEVs and regular cars. B Section 2 （2022全甲）Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia.The city discovered its harbor.

C Section 3 （2023全新I）Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for goup discussion and decision-making are enormous. 11. What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D.Approving. D Section 4 （2023浙1）Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation , interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society，in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines.And that's why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 12. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. Section 5 As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets. 13.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? C A. The changes of the author's life. B. The difficulties in biking at night. C. The reasons for enjoying the night ride D. The doubts about the author's social life. Section 6 In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning.

A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. C Section 7 （2023全乙）What comes into your mind when you think of British food ?

It deserves a high reputation. 猜词义 Section 1 （2020全1）While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.

Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽)were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地). What does the underlined word“decimate”mean in the first paragraph? C A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D.Distribute.

The appeal of fireworks could fade out with the growing use of drones (无人机)for light shows, though. Ollie Howitt, a leader of SKYMAGIC,which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London's new year celebration last year, said the demand had increased greatly. “We do think it's going to be something ever eye-catching rather than being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there's no fallout. In that sense, they're a very good, sustainable option,” she said. But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “ Drones have less impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be much that‘green’,” he said. An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones tried to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there was the downside. “ Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. Therefore, it's important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimise the chance of accidents to the smallest degree," he said. Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don't conflict with each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill. “We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don't really see it as a one- replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it's merely another tool to light the sky,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images. 1. What does Howitt think of a drone display in Paragraph 2? A. It has an upward trend. B. It'll get us to reflect on energy crisis. C. It's nothing but a temporary phenomenon. D. It'll excite the public curiosity about science. 2. What does the underlined word “downside”in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Prospect. B. Puzzle. C. Weakness. D. Benefit. 3. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph? A. Promoting the production of drones. B. Diversifying the functions of drones. C. Stopping the displays of fireworks. D. Staging drone shows as an alternative. 4. In which section of a website can we read this text? A. Advertisement. B. Business. C. Entertainment. D. Environment. ACDD A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament（证明）to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart.” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures. Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance（言辞）remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry（织锦）that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 5. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 7. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 8. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. DCDC Recently, a topic featuring “Graduates avoid sending résumés out of social anxiety disorder” received many comments on Sina Weibo. It seems that social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia(恐惧症)，is affecting many people's lives. Over 80% of university students who took part in a survey tended to avoid social interaction due to an assumed social phobia. 9 For those who have a social phobia, everyday social situations cause strong fear beyond their control because they fear being watched or judged negatively by others. Having a social phobia can mean physical symptoms like blushing(脸红)，an upset stomach, or having trouble catching your breath. The good news is that it is treatable. 10 Avoiding social situations because of shyness might mean missing out on opportunities or being rude. I used to be so shy that I avoided greeting people I knew by pretending to scroll(滚屏) on my phone or turning in another direction. 11 When I saw him, I started scrolling on my phone as usual to avoid greeting him. But he immediately saw through it and asked,“Why did you pretend not to see me?" After my explanation, he replied, “I can relate to feeling awkward, but once someone realizes that you're avoiding him, it can come across as rude." 12 Being afraid of negative comments, they simply shut themselves off so that no one will have the chance to judge them. But socializing not only leads to judgment. If you're lucky enough, you may come across someone who gives direct but honest feedback, like what the senior journalist did for me. But if some people only offer you negative judgment, simply stay away from them. 13 Why give up on opportunities for social interaction because of fears of comments and judgment? A.After all, they are not making you any better. B.Understand it's perfectly fine to make mistakes. C.Here are some tips for overcoming a fear of social interaction. D.But is avoiding social interaction equal to having a social phobia? E.However, my attitude began to change when I met a senior journalist. F.But if you only feel a bit uncomfortable, it might mean you are just shy. G.Shy people avoid socializing because they take others’ opinions seriously.
