[对应学生用书P471] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·吉林四模)There's nothing more refreshing than finding a young musician who talks about her developing career without any artifice(欺骗) or anxiety.It's simply a question of playing hard and persuading others that the journey is worth taking. As the first saxophonist to reach the final of Young Musician in 2016，Jess Gillam was pleased to find her school friends watched and enjoyed her performance.Without her，they wouldn't have heard a note and probably wouldn't have known the competition existed. When she first joined the Carnival Band，a small town band，at 7，she realised it was a meeting point for people from many different backgrounds.Saxophone in hand，she saw that there was a pathway to be followed that would take people on a journey together who otherwise might not find common cause，and who—without the thrill of music­making—couldn't exploit(充分利用) their nature for music. But here's the bad news.Local authority funding fell away and there was no one to pick up the pieces.For the generations behind her，there's none of that opportunity she had to develop a love for music.Perhaps that's one of the reasons why she is so passionate about music education，which is to her a necessity. “Music needs to be a given.It is part of education，but not an add­on.” For anyone who gets tired of the head­scratching arguments about where music is going—and whether or not audiences are going to shrink—a musician like Jess Gillam is an energising inspiration.She mentions her excitement at performing with an orchestra which illustrates the richness of opportunity for talented young players.Its 15th anniversary concert this year is living proof of the magic that can be reminded when young players get together to express themselves with all the uninhibited(不受拘束的) enthusiasm of talented people who haven't yet been beaten down by too much career advice，or overeager agents anxious to change them in a particular way. When talking about music education in schools，she is incredible that anyone could think that it shouldn't be at the heart of the curriculum.She knows what it has done for her and hopes to pass it on. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了音乐家Jess Gillam的经历以及她对音乐教育的看法和热情。 1．What do we know about Jess Gillam? A．She created a chance for her friends to approach music. B．She believed only a band could unite music lovers. C．She considered music­making an inborn competence. D．She took over after her band was financially challenged. 解析　A　推理判断题。 根据第二段中的“find her school friends watched and enjoyed her performance”和“Without her，they wouldn't have heard a note...the competition existed”可知，Jess Gillam的学校朋友观看并享受了她的表演。而如果没有她，他们原本不会听到一个音符，也可能不会知道这场比赛的存在。据此可知，Jess Gillam为朋友们创造了接触音乐的机会。故选A。 2．Which does the underlined word “given” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Must. B．Bonus. C．Gift. D．Chance. 解析　A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“It is part of education，but not an add­on”可知，Jess Gillam认为音乐是教育的一部分，而非附属物。因此可推测，画线词所在句应是表示，音乐需要成为一项必须学的内容，据此可知，画线词与must意思一致。故选A。 3．What does Jess Gillam probably agree with? A．Further evidence is needed to support music education. B．Music can only be individually appreciated. C．Music allows young players to voice themselves freely. D．Musicians are under the obligation to spread music. 解析　C　观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的“Its 15th anniversary concert...when young players get together to express themselves with all the uninhibited(不受拘束的) enthusiasm of talented people”可知，年轻的演奏者聚集在一起，用无拘无束的热情来表达自己。据此可以推知，Jess Gillam可能认同“音乐让年轻演奏者能够自由地表达自己”这一观点。故选C。 4．Which can best describe Jess Gillam? A．Ambitious and generous. B．Warm­hearted and modest. C．Sensitive and devoted. D．Responsible and inspiring. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“there's none of that opportunity...Perhaps that's one of...which is to her a necessity”可知，Jess Gillam对音乐教育非常热情，她认为音乐教育是必要的。她希望那些原本没有机会接触音乐的人也能接受音乐教育，这体现了她的社会责任感。根据第六段中的“For anyone who gets tired...a musician like Jess Gillam is an energising inspiration”可知，对于那些厌倦了令人挠头的关于音乐的发展方向以及听众是否会萎缩的争论的人来说，像Jess Gillam这样的音乐家是令人充满活力的动力。据此可知，她作为音乐家对同行有着鼓舞作用。综上可以推断，Jess Cillam是一个“有责任感且鼓舞人心的”人。故选D。 B (2025·南昌一模)One year ago，the Colorado State Fair made the headlines for unknowingly awarding first place to an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence.Now，officials with the 152­year­old fair have revised the contest's rules ：Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries，reports The Denver Post's John Wenzel. The saga (一长串事件) began last August，when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair's digital arts competition.When he shared his victory online，he mentioned that he'd used Midjourney—an AI program that turns text into images—to help create his piece，titled Théâtre D'opéra Spatial. Allen maintains he was open about using AI from the beginning，though judges say they didn't know until after the fact.Either way，a claim wasn't necessary at the time，meaning Allen never broke any rules. His victory was controversial—and as a result，officials decided to tweak the submission requirements.At last year's fair，which took place in Pueblo between August 25 and September 4，artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created by using an Artificial Intelligence Generator”，according to the new requirements. Allen wasn't happy about the new requirement，telling The Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks.Despite the change，he decided to submit his work once again to the digital arts category. The fair's leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances.As Scott Stoller，the fair's general manager，tells The Denver Post，the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades.In the future，officials may even decide to add a separate AI category，depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become. “That's the beauty of art—it's always evolving，” says Stoller.“Art can be anything，and anything can be made into art.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。Jason Allen使用人工智能创作自己的作品并在比赛中取得了胜利，但他的胜利引发了争议，最终博览会的官员修改了比赛的规则。 5．What can be learnt about Jason Allen? A．He designed an AI game program. B．He opposed the use of AI programs. C．He made the rules of an art contest. D．He won first place in an art competition. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair's digital arts competition”可知，Jason Allen在博览会的数字艺术比赛中赢得了第一名，故D项“他在艺术比赛中获得了第一名”正确。A项“他设计了一个人工智能游戏程序”与原文中的“he'd used Midjourney—an AI program”表达的意思不一样，他使用了Midjourney来帮助创作作品，但不是设计了这一程序，故A项排除；同时B项“他反对使用人工智能程序”也错误；C项“他制定了艺术比赛的规则”与原文第一段中的“officials with the 152­year­old fair have revised the contest's rules”相矛盾，故排除。 6．What does the underlined word “tweak” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Select. B．Revise. C．Continue. D．Create. 解析　B　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句：他的胜利是有争议的，因此，现在官员们决定tweak提交要求。以及第五段中的“Despite the change(尽管有这个改变)”可知。此处tweak与revise同义，均应表示“修改”，故选B。 7．What's Stoller's attitude towards the AI artworks? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Dismissive. 解析　C　观点态度题。 根据题干中的Stoller可知答案定位在第六段中。根据该段中的“In the future，officials may even decide to add a separate AI category，depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become”可知，未来，官员们甚至可能决定增加一个单独的人工智能类别，这取决于像Midjourney这样的工具的流行程度。故可知Stoller对人工智能艺术作品的态度是支持的，故选C。 8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．AI Artworks，Rock the World B．AI Artworks，Lead the Trend C．AI Artworks，Face New Challenges D．AI Artworks，Bring New Rules 解析　D　标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了Jason Allen使用人工智能创作自己的作品并在比赛中取得了胜利，但他的胜利引发了争议，博览会的官员们最终制定出了新的规则，故用D项作为标题最佳。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2024·昆明“三诊一模”教学质检)It's common to communicate by way of text，and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking you to pick up a grocery item. 1 Fighting over text can cause problems and can even break up friendships or partnerships.Ahead，we'll examine why. •There's no vocal tone involved When we speak，the person we're talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tones. 2 ．Everything is flat in writing，so without vocal tones to clarify，it's easy to assume the worst in someone and their intentions. • 3 We also communicate in person through nonverbal ways.How we act physically lets others know how we feel，and without that in text，an argument can be worsened to a terrible point without one person even becoming aware of how upset the other is. •Different communication paces affect a lot 4 ，and when arguing，it can get even faster.It happens not to read all of a person's reply before you respond again，and the more upset you get，the harder it may be to express yourself clearly or to understand the person you're fighting with. •Emojis and gifs cart be hurtful In the same way that visual communication tools like emojis and gifs can add fun to conversations，they can also make things much worse in a text disagreement.It can be challenging to know when you've taken emojis or gifs to a hurtful place，especially if the other person holds in that information and doesn't tell you at the moment. 5 ． A.Body language is absent B．Text，on the other hand，has no tone C．Long­term healthy relationships collapse D．Texting is generally a quick back­and­forth exchange E．This may happen if he is feeling unsafe in the discussion F．However，we may have taken communication by text too far G．Our tone tells us a conversation is heading in the wrong direction [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了仅仅通过短信交流而带来的一些问题，比如缺少语调、缺乏肢体语言，不同的短信交流节奏、符号以及动画带来的问题等等。 1．解析　F　上文的“It's common to communicate by way of text”说明通过发短信联系是很普遍的现象，下文谈到“Fighting over text”(为了短信而争吵)，故F项“然而，我们可能过于重视通过短信进行沟通了”承上启下，符合语境。 2．解析　B　根据标题There's no vocal tone involved可知，本段主要讲述短信没有音调，B项“另一方面，短信没有语气”与标题表达的意思一致。 3．解析　A　段落标题句。本段中的“How we act physically lets others know how we feel”说明我们的肢体行为让别人知道我们的感受。“act physically”指的就是A项中的“Body language”，也就是说通过短信交流，肢体语言是缺乏的，对方不知道你的感受，一个人甚至不会意识到另一个人有多沮丧。故选A。 4．解析　D　根据空后的“and when arguing，it can get even faster”可知，D项中的“a quick back­and­forth exchange”与空后意思吻合，表明发短信通常是一种快速的来回交流方式，而在争吵时，它可能会变得更快。 5．解析　E　根据本段标题可知，本段主要讲述表情符号和动态图画可能会造成伤害。上文谈到知道你什么时候把表情符号或动态图画带到了一个伤人的地方，这可能是一个挑战，特别是如果对方掌握了这些信息并且当下没有告诉你的时候。E项“如果他在讨论中感到不安全，就可能会发生这种情况”符合逻辑。E项的“discussion”和本段中的“in a text disagreement”意思相吻合，同时E项中的“he”指代上文的“the other person”。 Ⅲ.语法填空 (2024·南京、盐城二模) Incense(香) boasts a long history，1. its roots in many cultures—ancient China，ancient Egypt，Babylon and beyond.People from all walks of life benefit from its countless qualities，whether they use it for pleasure 2. as medicine.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了香的历史、文化意义及其在医疗和日常生活中的用途，说明了香在预防性医疗和提升生活品质方面的作用。 1．解析　with　考查介词。句意：香有着悠久的历史，它起源于许多文化——古代中国、古埃及、巴比伦和其他地方。空前为完整的句子，此处是with复合结构作状语。 2．解析　or　考查连词。句意：各行各业的人都受益于它的诸多品质，无论是它被用来娱乐还是被用作药物。空前的for pleasure和空后的as medicine为并列关系，且此处表示选择，故填or。 3．解析　Made　考查非谓语动词。句意：香是由种子、叶子和花朵制成，其一直是学者们喜爱的追求。此句谓语动词是has been used，故此空应填非谓语动词。因make与句子的主语incense是逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词形式，注意因位于句首，单词首字母要大写。 4．解析　pursuit　考查名词。由空前的an enjoyable可知此处应为名词。pursue是动词，其名词形式是pursuit。 5．解析　a　考查冠词。句意：此外，医用香是传统中医的重要组成部分，医用香认为预防性医疗保健服务是疾病发作时的一种非常优越的治疗形式。consider...as ...是固定短语，意为“认为……是……”；空后的form为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指，且far的发音以辅音音素开头。故应填不定冠词a。 6．解析　Basically　考查副词。句意：基本上，医用香可以杀死环境中的细菌，保护人们免受感染。此处句子结构完整，故应用副词作状语。 7．解析　to possess　考查非谓语动词。句意：它还被认为具有平衡气流动的能力，气是人体内的一种重要的力量影响因素。此句谓语动词是is believed，此空应填非谓语动词。再根据固定表达sth/sb is believed to do可知，应填动词不定式。 8．解析　their　考查代词。句意：一旦香中的医学元素被吸入，它们很快就会进入血液。way是名词，其前应用形容词性物主代词修饰，故填their。 9．解析　where　考查定语从句。句意：从那里，它们直接转移到需要治疗的人体器官中。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，该空引导定语从句修饰先行词organs，且该空在定语从句中作地点状语，故应用关系副词where。 10．解析　are chosen　考查谓语动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：具体类型的香是根据个人的情况来选择的，旨在恢复平衡和促进健康。根据两处非谓语动词“based on”和“aiming to”可知，此处应填谓语动词。此处是描述客观事实，故用一般现在时；因主语是The specific types of incense，与choose是被动关系，故应用被动语态；主语是复数。故填are chosen。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
