专题一 专题练(九) 书评类阅读-【步步高·考前三个月】2025年高考英语复习讲义课件（课件PPT+word教案）

专题练(九)　书评类阅读　(分值：40分) 知考法　明考向：书评是指综合性的文章评论，主要针对作品本身的内容、艺术特色、文学价值、思想性、可读性等方面进行评论。书评可分为两类：一类是专业性的书评，主要是对作品的内容做简单介绍；另一类是普及性的书评，主要对作品的思想性、艺术性、可读性等方面进行评价。 (2024·新课标Ⅱ，D) Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives，we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future，and this is where AI by Design：A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical ①roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革)． In the wrong hands，such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代码) that powers AI but，thankfully，Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience ②translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic，making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which，by the close，will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from AI by Design，AI is already super-smart and will become more capable，moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there，Campbell says，will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence，or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to ③pan out.Such structured thinking，followed by global regulation，will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all，and if you only read one book on the subject，this is it. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，较难。文章主要介绍了卡特里奥娜·坎贝尔Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design：A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书作为应对AI革命挑战的实用指南，以商业视角阐述AI发展现状与前景，强调控制AI的重要性，呼吁各界协同，确保人工智能安全发展，以防潜在危机。 32．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．If read by someone poorly educated. B．If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C．If written by someone less competent. D．If translated by someone unacademic. 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据下文“such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代码) that powers AI but，thankfully，Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable”可知，拥有二十多年专业经验的坎贝尔撰写的这本书是通俗易懂的，但如果别人写这本书的话可能就不是这样了，由此推测画线短语表示 “如果是由能力较差的人写的”。故选C。 33．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text? A．It is packed with complex codes. B．It adopts a ④down-to-earth writing style. C．It provides step-by-step instructions. D．It is intended for AI professionals. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到，这本书的作者从商业人士(而非学者)的实用角度出发，使得这本书极易理解、内容丰富。这意味着该书不会涉及过于复杂或专业性的语言，而是旨在为大众读者提供易于理解的内容。B项中的down-to-earth同义替换文中的practical和highly accessible。故选B。 34．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development? A．Observe existing regulations on it. B．Reconsider expert opinions about it. C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control. D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence”和倒数第二段中“Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI...so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it...we...must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.”可知，坎贝尔认为人们有必要保持对人工智能的控制，那些对AI负责的科技公司和世界领导人应与所有目前从事AI研发的专家们达成共识，我们必须立即采取行动，以防止面临灭绝级别的事件。这表明她呼吁人们共同努力来控制人工智能的发展。故选C。 35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To recommend a book on AI. B．To give a brief account of AI history. C．To clarify the definition of AI. D．To honor an outstanding AI expert. 答案　A 解析　写作意图题。通读全文可知，第一段引入了新书AI by Design：A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence，并介绍了书的主要内容；第二段介绍了本书作者的背景；第三、四段概述了书中的主要论点和观点及其意义；第五段进行总结，再次强烈推荐这本书。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了推荐一本有关AI的书。故选A。 语境猜词 ①roadmap＝(合)road＋map路线图 ②translate(熟义：翻译)　生义(文义)：(使)转变，变为 ③pan out以一定方式发展 ④down-to-earth＝(合)down＋to＋earth切合实际的；务实的 A (2024·广东深圳一调) “Why does grandpa have ear hair？” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime.Now a ①soon-to-be fourth grader，she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked.As a scientist and parent，I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children.Where did I go wrong? My child’s experience is not unique.Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous(自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information drops ②dramatically in children by the fourth grade. In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science，Yale psychologist Frank C．Keil details the development of wonder—a spontaneous passion to explore，discover，and understand.He takes us on a journey from its early development，when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning，through the ③drop-off in wonder that often occurs，to the trap of life in a society that ④devalues wonder. As Keil notes，children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms(因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years.They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals，and they expertly use their desire for questioning.Children’s questions，particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their ⑤day-to-day reasoning. Unfortunately，as Keil notes，“adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book，Wonder，Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners，encouraging question-asking，and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude. A decline in wonder is not unavoidable.Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone.I value wonder deeply，and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full. 语篇解读　本文是一篇书评，主要介绍的是《讶异感：童年和对科学的终生热爱》这本书的主要内容。 1．What is a common problem among fourth graders? A．They upset their parents too often. B．They ask too many strange questions. C．Their love for fun disappears quickly. D．Their desire to learn declines sharply. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as ‘spontaneous(自发的)’ investigation and eagerness for new information drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.”可知，四年级学生的常见问题是他们的学习欲望急剧下降。故选D。 2．What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4? A．They control children’s sensitivity. B．They slightly change in early childhood. C．They hardly support children’s reasoning. D．They develop through children’s questioning. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中“Children’s questions...support the development of causal mechanisms...”可推断出儿童的因果机制是通过孩子们的提问发展起来的。故选D。 3．How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil? A．By monitoring their games. B．By welcoming inquiring minds. C．By estimating their abilities. D．By providing reasonable conclusions. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In the book，Wonder，Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by...encouraging question-asking...”可知，根据Keil的说法，父母可以通过欢迎孩子们问问题来支持孩子们不断的讶异感，故选B。 4．What is the text?

The book provides practical strategies for integrating deep work into one’s professional life，advocating for routines and intentional changing of the brain to resist distractions.Newport introduces concepts like productive meditation(冥想) and the craftsman approach to tool selection，offering readers ③actionable advice to enhance their focus and productivity. Deep Work has won widespread praise for its insights into productivity in a distracted world.Many praise Newport’s thorough research，combining neuroscience with practical advice.Readers appreciate the real-world examples，from Carl Jung’s focused mindset to a social media pioneer’s ④distraction-free writing journey.

Losing Music comes closest to capturing what’s behind music “by nearly being music itself”．Even though his hearing has failed him，“evidence that Cotter’s ear is still keen for the beautiful tune of language sings from every page.” 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了John Cotter所著Losing Music一书的写作背景、主要内容以及获得的评价。 9．What do we know about Cotter from paragraph 1?
