Called the Ticket Bank, it will aim to give out 1, 000 tickets per week to theater, dance, music and comedy shows. The tickets will be free. The Ticket Bank is an arts-oriented variation on the food bank: giving donations to those in need. The program will launch on January 9th. “There are brilliant people putting together food banks, but that doesn’t give people their basic needs from a soul point of view,” said Chris Sonnex who put forward the idea. “People who are suffering as a result of the cost of living also need access to entertainment and things that warm the soul. Art is a human right.” The program is focused on the increasing cost of living which puts cultural experiences out of reach for more and more people. It also aims to help cultural institutions like theaters, which have seen reducing audiences due to economic crises. The Cultural Philanthropy Foundation, an organization aiming to “democratize (使民主化) access to culture”, wanted to help make the project happen. “Rarely do you come across an idea that is so simple and brilliant that you can’t believe it doesn’t already exist,” Caroline McCormick, the foundation’s chair, said. “When Chris Sonnex told me his idea for the Ticket Bank, my response was as simple as his idea: We have to make this happen.” Seven theaters have agreed to participate in it. Another seven will be announced in January. “Everybody’s seen the value, and everyone wants to make it work,” McCormick said. A group of London and United Kingdom-based partners will ensure the tickets reach people and communities in need. “While a million different barriers make accessing the arts difficult, one of the biggest is ticket prices,” Sonnex said. “It’s important to reach as many people as possible to say: This is for you.” 4. What is the purpose of the Ticket Bank? A. To give donations and money to those in need. B. To offer theater, music and comedy shows to the poor. C. To sell daily goods to those who love to go to theaters. D. To provide free theater tickets for those that can’t afford them. 5. Why did Chris Sonnex come up with the program? A. He wanted to meet people’s basic needs. B. The poor needed more food and care. C. He thought people needed encouragement. D. The poor needed spiritual things that warm the soul. 6. What is Caroline McCormick’s attitude towards the idea? A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Food bank— giving basic need of soul. B. The theater — satisfying people’s spirit. C. Ticket Bank — making art appreciation easier. D. London foundation — bringing culture to life. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述伦敦启动“Ticket Bank”项目，通过免费提供未售出的剧院、舞蹈、音乐和喜剧表演门票，帮助经济困难人群享受文化艺术，同时支持因经济危机而观众减少的文化机构。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第1段“A new program in London will soon start giving away unsold theater tickets to those who couldn’t afford them.(伦敦的一个新项目将很快开始向那些负担不起的人赠送未售出的剧院门票)”可知，Ticket Bank的目的是为负担不起的人提供免费门票。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第3段“People who are suffering as a result of the cost of living also need access to entertainment and things that warm the soul.(那些因生活成本而受苦的人也需要娱乐和温暖心灵的东西)”可知，Chris Sonnex提出该计划是因为穷人需要精神慰藉。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第5段“Rarely do you come across an idea that is so simple and brilliant that you can’t believe it doesn’t already exist(你很少遇到一个如此简单而绝妙的想法，以至于你无法相信它还没有成为现实)”和“We have to make this happen.(我们必须让这实现)”可推知，Caroline McCormick的态度是积极支持的。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第1段“A new program in London will soon start giving away unsold theater tickets to those who couldn’t afford them.(伦敦的一个新项目将很快开始向那些负担不起的人赠送未售出的剧院门票)”和第四段“ The program is focused on the increasing cost of living which puts cultural experiences out of reach for more and more people. It also aims to help cultural institutions like theaters, which have seen reducing audiences due to economic crises.(该计划的重点是日益增长的生活成本，这使得越来越多的人无法体验文化。它还旨在帮助因经济危机而观众减少的剧院等文化机构)”可知，主要讲述伦敦启动“Ticket Bank”项目，通过免费提供未售出的剧院、舞蹈、音乐和喜剧表演门票，帮助经济困难人群享受文化艺术，同时支持因经济危机而观众减少的文化机构。选项C“Ticket Bank——让艺术欣赏更容易。”准确概括主题，适合用作标题。故选C。 C During the Spring Festival, Ne Zha 2 has become a phenomenon-level animated film, with cinema attendance rate reaching over 90%. When Ne Zha and Ao Bing had a fierce battle with Infinite Immortal, the vivid sound effects made me feel as if I were right there on the scene. Suddenly, a question popped into my mind: How were these impressive sounds created? Out of curiosity, I started searching back home and then entered the mysterious world of Foley artists. The term Foley was coined in memory of Jack Foley and his contribution to the art of sound effects. When sound effects were first added into movies he innovated a unique way of creating sound effects, recording sounds onto a single track of audio and adding them to actions happening on the screen accordingly. Foley artists are like magicians of sound, adding vitality to films. In general, attention to detail is fundamental to successful Foley artists. They also need to have the ability to recreate sounds themselves, which requires creativity and imagination. Getting the perfect sound requires trial and error, which is why patience and persistence are equally important. Even though Foley artists often work behind the scenes, their cooperation with actors is crucial to capturing the essence of a film. “You have to act the scene…You have to be the actors and get into the spirit of the story the same as the actors did, on the set. It makes a big difference,” Jack Foley once stressed. As I was digging deep, titles like “Fewer than 100 Foley Artists Remain Active Worldwide” indeed struck me hard. I stumbled upon the sad truth that while Foley work is an incredible addition to movies, the small number of working artists today may put it on the path to becoming a dying art. However, Foley work, to my relief, may change as virtual reality develops. Next time you’re watching a movie, remember those subtle sounds. They are like secret messages from Foley artists, reminding us they’re always there. 8. What contribution did Jack Foley make to the film industry? A. He invented recording equipment. B. He pioneered sound effect creation. C. He advanced live recording methods. D. He improved background music. 9. What did Jack Foley value most? A. Being sensitive to details. B. Practising trial and error. C. Stimulating active imagination. D. Being at one with actors. 10. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Foley work may be redefined in the future. B. Foley artists may soon be replaced by virtual reality. C. Modern audiences are well aware of Foley work. D. Foley work is no longer a must as technology develops. 11. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To explore the reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. B. To persuade readers to engage in Foley work. C. To discuss the challenges Foley work will face. D. To introduce Foley work and its significance. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了拟音师（Foley artists）这一职业，包括其名称的由来、拟音师的工作要求以及该职业面临的现状和可能的发展趋势等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When sound effects were first added into movies, he innovated a unique way of creating sound effects, recording sounds onto a single track of audio and adding them to actions happening on the screen accordingly. (当音效首次被添加到电影中时，他创新了一种独特的音效制作方式，将声音录制到单音轨上，并根据屏幕上的动作添加相应的音效)”可知，Jack Foley对电影行业的贡献是开创了音效制作的新方法。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““You have to act the scene…You have to be the actors and get into the spirit of the story the same as the actors did, on the set. It makes a big difference,” Jack Foley once stressed. (你必须表演场景……你必须像演员一样进入故事的精神状态，就像演员在片场那样。这会产生很大的不同，Jack Foley曾强调)”可知，Jack Foley最重视的是拟音师与演员的融合。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, Foley work, to my relief, may change as virtual reality develops. (然而，令我欣慰的是，随着虚拟现实的发展，拟音工作可能会发生变化)”可知，最后一段暗示拟音工作在未来可能会被重新定义。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When sound effects were first added into movies, he innovated a unique way of creating sound effects, recording sounds onto a single track of audio and adding them to actions happening on the screen accordingly.(当音效首次被加入电影时，他创新了一种独特的音效制作方式，将声音录制到单声道音频上，并相应地添加到屏幕上正在发生的动作中)”以及第三段“Foley artists are like magicians of sound, adding vitality to films.(拟音师就像声音的魔术师，为电影增添活力)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇通过《哪吒2》的音效引出拟音师的工作，接着介绍了拟音师的工作内容、重要性以及未来发展，全文围绕拟音工作及其意义展开。因此，本文的写作目的是介绍拟音工作及其重要性。故选D项。 D Having worked in the AI field for over a decade, Zhang Qiang never imagined his expertise would intersect with jiandu — China’s 3,000-year-old bamboo and wooden slips — until he and his team developed DeepJiandu, the world’s first large-scale dataset dedicated to character recognition for these cultural relics. Regarded as China’s earliest form of books, jiandu served as a bridge in the evolution of Chinese writing — from oracle bone (甲骨文) and bronze inscriptions to later paper documents. Unlike existing tools designed to detect readable characters on ancient paper documents, DeepJiandu was created specifically to tackle the challenges of deciphering (辨认) jiandu characters under complex conditions, such as characters of varying sizes from different dynasties, connected strokes in ancient handwriting, and characters damaged or faded by natural elements — issues deemed the “most common yet unavoidable” in jiandu preservation. To aid researchers in studying jiandu, the DeepJiandu dataset offers 7,416 infrared (红外线的) images generated from scans of over 40,000 physical jiandu samples. The team analyzed individual samples to produce nearly 100,000 annotations (评注). Though seemingly minor, these annotations “significantly clarify character meanings,” enabling even novices to interpret jiandu contents. The team’s vision of an open-source “lexicon” for jiandu predates the dataset itself. In June 2024, they launched an even more comprehensive data-sharing platform dedicated to jiandu relics, supported by Northwest Normal University. Museums are leveraging technology to enhance visitor engagement. For instance, the Changsha Jiandu Museum in Hunan — home to over 100,000 Wu Kingdom jiandu pieces — uses AR-enabled picture books with QR codes to illustrate historical narratives. Similarly, the Gansu Jiandu Museum employs AI-guided robots named “Jian” and “Du” to interact with visitors. As museum director Zhu Jianjun notes, these digital innovations exemplify China’s integration of technology and cultural preservation, bridging ancient texts with modern tools to make jiandu accessible to all. 12. What can we learn about jiandu from the first paragraph? A. It served as a transitional medium for Chinese writing. B. It totally replaced oracle bone and bronze inscriptions. C. It was mainly used for artistic purposes in ancient times. D. It was made of wood clips with a history of 5000 years old. 13. What technical features help DeepJiandu address character recognition problems? A. Bronze inscription comparison tools. B. Interactive robots with voice guidance. C. Infrared images and detailed explanations. D. AR picture books with QR code scanning. 14. What does the underlined word “lexicon” in paragraph 4 probably refer to? A. A collection of ancient relics. B. A standardized writing system. C. A digital preservation technique. D. A reference database for characters. 15. Why are the museums in Changsha and Gansu mentioned? A. To emphasize jiandu’s commercial value. B. To highlight tech-based educational system. C. To promote traditional museum practices. D. To compare regional preservation policies. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能专家张强团队研发的DeepJiandu数据集，该数据集通过红外影像与人工智能技术实现对中国古代竹简木牍文字的智能识别，阐述了其突破传统文献检测工具局限的技术特点、数据规模及文化价值，并延伸说明了该技术在博物馆数字化展示中的创新应用，展现了科技赋能文化遗产保护的实践成果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Regarded as China’s earliest form of books, jiandu served as a bridge in the evolution of Chinese writing — from oracle bone and bronze inscriptions to later paper documents.(简牍被视为中国最早的书籍形式，在汉字书写的演变中充当了桥梁 —— 从甲骨文、青铜器铭文到后来的纸质文献)”可知，简牍是中国文字发展的过渡媒介。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To aid researchers in studying jiandu, the DeepJiandu dataset offers 7,416 infrared (红外线的) images generated from scans of over 40,000 physical jiandu samples. The team analyzed individual samples to produce nearly 100,000 annotations (评注). Though seemingly minor, these annotations ‘significantly clarify character meanings,’ enabling even novices to interpret jiandu contents.(为了帮助研究人员研究简牍，DeepJiandu 数据集提供了7416张红外图像，这些图像是通过扫描40000多个物理建都样本生成的。该团队分析了单个样本，产生了近10万个注释。虽然这些注释看似微不足道，但它们‘显著地阐明了汉字的含义’，即使是新手也能解释简牍的内容)”可知，该技术通过红外图像和详细注释解决识别难题。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The team’s vision of an open-source “lexicon” for jiandu predates the dataset itself. In June 2024, they launched an even more comprehensive data-sharing platform dedicated to jiandu relics, supported by Northwest Normal University.(团队为简牍建立开源lexicon的愿景早于数据集本身。2024年6月，在西北师范大学的支持下，他们推出了一个更全面的建都文物数据共享平台)”并结合上下文“数据集”、“数据共享平台”可知，lexicon指字符参考数据库。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Museums are leveraging technology to enhance visitor engagement. For instance, the Changsha Jiandu Museum in Hunan — home to over 100,000 Wu Kingdom jiandu pieces — uses AR-enabled picture books with QR codes to illustrate historical narratives. Similarly, the Gansu Jiandu Museum employs AI-guided robots named ‘Jian’ and ‘Du’ to interact with visitors. As museum director Zhu Jianjun notes, these digital innovations exemplify China’s integration of technology and cultural preservation, bridging ancient texts with modern tools to make jiandu accessible to all.(博物馆正在利用技术来提高游客的参与度。例如，湖南长沙简牍博物馆——收藏了超过10万件吴国简牍作品——使用带有二维码的AR图画书来说明历史故事。同样，甘肃简牍博物馆采用名为‘简’和‘牍’的人工智能引导机器人与游客互动。正如博物馆馆长朱建军所指出的那样，这些数字创新体现了中国技术与文化保护的融合，将古代文献与现代工具联系起来，使简牍对所有人开放)”可知，长沙博物馆使用AR图画书，甘肃博物馆采用AI机器人，均为基于技术的教育方式的例证，旨在说明科技在文化传承中的应用。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower. ____16____!

For this project, we were allowed to do anything as long as we did it ourselves. “Don’t call on me. Don’t call on me.” I talked to myself. “Michael, your project, please.” Michael, that was me. I swallowed the baseball-sized lump in my throat and stood up. Jayce, my deskmate, whispered some words of encouragement to me, saying, “Go for it.” I walked to the front of the class and set my birdhouse on the table. “This is my birdhouse,” I began. “I looked online for plans to build it. Then I designed it by myself. My dad cut four pieces of wood using the measurements I gave him for the walls.” I turned the birdhouse to show my class all four sides. Luka’s hand shot up. We were supposed to take questions if anyone had them. Luka was my friend, but he always asked a billion questions. I looked at the clock above the class door, just wanted to finish and sit down. “So if your dad cut the wood, what did you do?” he asked. The lump in my throat was now the size of a basketball. “I came up with the idea and talked with my dad about it. And I figured out how to nail the roof so I can clean out the house after the birds leave.” I lifted the roof to show everyone. “Then I nailed all the walls together.” I picked up the heavy hammer (锤子) I had borrowed from Dad. I had left one of the nails sticking out a little so I could demonstrate. As I gave the nail a hit, the hammer came down on the roof instead of the nail. The birdhouse landed in a noisy pile (堆) at my feet. There was a loud gasp (倒抽气), and then nobody spoke. “I wanted to show you how to build a birdhouse — and how to take it apart,” I said, thinking fast. “As you can see, I did it all myself.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The class broke into laughter and then started clapping for me! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I got home, Dad was shocked when he saw a pile of wood in my schoolbag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The class broke into laughter and then started clapping for me! “Fascinating project, Michael. Real builders know accidents happen,” Mrs. Williams said, coming towards me. She was smiling so big that all her teeth showed. “Are you all right?” she asked me under her breath. I nodded. As I walked to my seat, Jayce gave me a high five. “Wow. That was almost a disaster, but you handled it so well!” he said. Looking at the birdhouse, I held my head high. I couldn’t wait to tell my dad the good news! When I got home, Dad was shocked when he saw a pile of wood in my schoolbag. I told him how the birdhouse fell apart and how I reacted. Dad laughed heartily and said, “Son, you were really brave. The important thing is that you keep calm and never give up.” Inspired by his words, I determined to rebuild the birdhouse. This time, with Dad’s guidance, I cut the wood myself, hammered the nails firmly, and finally completed a better birdhouse. Looking at the newly-made birdhouse, I realized that this experience was about learning to persevere in the face of setbacks, and the value of family support in the journey of self-improvement. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了在威廉姆斯夫人的课堂上，作者被要求展示自己的特别项目。作者展示了自己设计的鸟屋，但在演示如何用锤子钉钉子时，不小心把锤子砸在了屋顶上，导致鸟屋散架。作者急中生智，幽默地解释说自己想展示如何建造鸟屋以及如何拆解它，强调自己独立完成整个项目的过程。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“全班哄堂大笑，然后开始为我鼓掌！”可知，第一段可描写威廉姆斯夫人和杰斯鼓励作者以及作者的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我回到家时，爸爸看到我书包里的一堆木头，感到很惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写作者与爸爸的谈话以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：威廉姆斯夫人和杰斯鼓励作者——迫不及待告诉爸爸——与爸爸谈话——独自完成一个更好鸟屋——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发生：happen/take place ②处理：handle/deal with ③意识到：realize/be aware of ④决定做某事：determine to do sth/make up one’s mind to do sth 情绪类 ①开怀大笑：laugh heartily/smile broadly ②冷静的：calm/dispassionate 【点睛】【高分句型1】She was smiling so big that all her teeth showed.（运用了so…that…引导结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】I realized that this experience was about learning to persevere in the face of setbacks, and the value of family support in the journey of self-improvement.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湛江市2024—2025学年度第二学期期末调研考试 高二英语 试卷共8页，卷面满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Go in 2025 Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination? Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over-400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon. Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as: the “Years to Visit Mongolia”, easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport. Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money. 1. What can people do in Nairobi National Park? A. Enjoy adventure activities. B. Taste local delicious cuisine. C. See varieties of wild animals. D. Appreciate musical performances. 2. Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location? A. It has simplified entry procedures. B. It offers cost-effective experiences. C. It combines art with natural scenery. D. It provides good transportation services. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To entertain. B. To analyse. C. To inform. D. To report. B A new program in London will soon start giving away unsold theater tickets to those who couldn’t afford them. Called the Ticket Bank, it will aim to give out 1, 000 tickets per week to theater, dance, music and comedy shows. The tickets will be free. The Ticket Bank is an arts-oriented variation on the food bank: giving donations to those in need. The program will launch on January 9th. “There are brilliant people putting together food banks, but that doesn’t give people their basic needs from a soul point of view,” said Chris Sonnex who put forward the idea. “People who are suffering as a result of the cost of living also need access to entertainment and things that warm the soul. Art is a human right.” The program is focused on the increasing cost of living which puts cultural experiences out of reach for more and more people. It also aims to help cultural institutions like theaters, which have seen reducing audiences due to economic crises. The Cultural Philanthropy Foundation an organization aiming to “democratize (使民主化) access to culture”, wanted to help make the project happen. “Rarely do you come across an idea that is so simple and brilliant that you can’t believe it doesn’t already exist,” Caroline McCormick, the foundation’s chair, said. “When Chris Sonnex told me his idea for the Ticket Bank, my response was as simple as his idea: We have to make this happen.” Seven theaters have agreed to participate in it. Another seven will be announced in January. “Everybody’s seen the value, and everyone wants to make it work,” McCormick said. A group of London and United Kingdom-based partners will ensure the tickets reach people and communities in need. “While a million different barriers make accessing the arts difficult, one of the biggest is ticket prices,” Sonnex said. “It’s important to reach as many people as possible to say: This is for you.” 4. What is the purpose of the Ticket Bank? A. To give donations and money to those in need. B. To offer theater, music and comedy shows to the poor. C. To sell daily goods to those who love to go to theaters. D. To provide free theater tickets for those that can’t afford them. 5. Why did Chris Sonnex come up with the program? A. He wanted to meet people’s basic needs. B. The poor needed more food and care. C. He thought people needed encouragement. D. The poor needed spiritual things that warm the soul. 6. What is Caroline McCormick’s attitude towards the idea? A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Food bank— giving basic need of soul. B. The theater — satisfying people’s spirit. C. Ticket Bank — making art appreciation easier. D. London foundation — bringing culture to life. C During the Spring Festival, Ne Zha 2 has become a phenomenon-level animated film, with cinema attendance rate reaching over 90%. When Ne Zha and Ao Bing had a fierce battle with Infinite Immortal, the vivid sound effects made me feel as if I were right there on the scene. Suddenly, a question popped into my mind: How were these impressive sounds created? Out of curiosity, I started searching back home and then entered the mysterious world of Foley artists. The term Foley was coined in memory of Jack Foley and his contribution to the art of sound effects. When sound effects were first added into movies, he innovated a unique way of creating sound effects, recording sounds onto a single track of audio and adding them to actions happening on the screen accordingly. Foley artists are like magicians of sound, adding vitality to films. In general, attention to detail is fundamental to successful Foley artists. They also need to have the ability to recreate sounds themselves, which requires creativity and imagination. Getting the perfect sound requires trial and error, which is why patience and persistence are equally important. Even though Foley artists often work behind the scenes, their cooperation with actors is crucial to capturing the essence of a film. “You have to act the scene…You have to be the actors and get into the spirit of the story the same as the actors did, on the set. It makes a big difference,” Jack Foley once stressed. As I was digging deep, titles like “Fewer than 100 Foley Artists Remain Active Worldwide” indeed struck me hard. I stumbled upon the sad truth that while Foley work is an incredible addition to movies, the small number of working artists today may put it on the path to becoming a dying art. However, Foley work, to my relief, may change as virtual reality develops. Next time you’re watching a movie, remember those subtle sounds. They are like secret messages from Foley artists, reminding us they’re always there. 8. What contribution did Jack Foley make to the film industry? A. He invented recording equipment. B. He pioneered sound effect creation. C. He advanced live recording methods. D. He improved background music. 9. What did Jack Foley value most? A. Being sensitive to details. B. Practising trial and error. C. Stimulating active imagination. D. Being at one with actors. 10. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Foley work may be redefined in the future. B. Foley artists may soon be replaced by virtual reality. C Modern audiences are well aware of Foley work. D. Foley work is no longer a must as technology develops. 11. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To explore the reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. B. To persuade readers to engage in Foley work. C. To discuss the challenges Foley work will face. D. To introduce Foley work and its significance. D Having worked in the AI field for over a decade, Zhang Qiang never imagined his expertise would intersect with jiandu — China’s 3,000-year-old bamboo and wooden slips — until he and his team developed DeepJiandu, the world’s first large-scale dataset dedicated to character recognition for these cultural relics. Regarded as China’s earliest form of books, jiandu served as a bridge in the evolution of Chinese writing — from oracle bone (甲骨文) and bronze inscriptions to later paper documents. Unlike existing tools designed to detect readable characters on ancient paper documents, DeepJiandu was created specifically to tackle the challenges of deciphering (辨认) jiandu characters under complex conditions, such as characters of varying sizes from different dynasties, connected strokes in ancient handwriting, and characters damaged or faded by natural elements — issues deemed the “most common yet unavoidable” in jiandu preservation. To aid researchers in studying jiandu, the DeepJiandu dataset offers 7,416 infrared (红外线的) images generated from scans of over 40,000 physical jiandu samples. The team analyzed individual samples to produce nearly 100,000 annotations (评注). Though seemingly minor, these annotations “significantly clarify character meanings,” enabling even novices to interpret jiandu contents. The team’s vision of an open-source “lexicon” for jiandu predates the dataset itself. In June 2024, they launched an even more comprehensive data-sharing platform dedicated to jiandu relics, supported by Northwest Normal University. Museums are leveraging technology to enhance visitor engagement. For instance, the Changsha Jiandu Museum in Hunan — home to over 100,000 Wu Kingdom jiandu pieces — uses AR-enabled picture books with QR codes to illustrate historical narratives. Similarly, the Gansu Jiandu Museum employs AI-guided robots named “Jian” and “Du” to interact with visitors. As museum director Zhu Jianjun notes, these digital innovations exemplify China’s integration of technology and cultural preservation, bridging ancient texts with modern tools to make jiandu accessible to all. 12. What can we learn about jiandu from the first paragraph? A. It served as a transitional medium for Chinese writing. B. It totally replaced oracle bone and bronze inscriptions. C. It was mainly used for artistic purposes in ancient times. D. It was made of wood clips with a history of 5000 years old. 13. What technical features help DeepJiandu address character recognition problems? A. Bronze inscription comparison tools. B. Interactive robots with voice guidance. C. Infrared images and detailed explanations. D. AR picture books with QR code scanning. 14. What does the underlined word “lexicon” in paragraph 4 probably refer to? A. A collection of ancient relics. B. A standardized writing system. C A digital preservation technique. D. A reference database for characters. 15. Why are the museums in Changsha and Gansu mentioned? A. To emphasize jiandu’s commercial value. B. To highlight tech-based educational system. C. To promote traditional museum practices. D. To compare regional preservation policies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Doing something challenging takes courage commitment and willpower. ____16____!

For this project, we were allowed to do anything as long as we did it ourselves. “Don’t call on me. Don’t call on me.” I talked to myself. “Michael, your project, please.” Michael, that was me. I swallowed the baseball-sized lump in my throat and stood up. Jayce, my deskmate, whispered some words of encouragement to me, saying, “Go for it.” I walked to the front of the class and set my birdhouse on the table. “This is my birdhouse,” I began. “I looked online for plans to build it. Then I designed it by myself. My dad cut four pieces of wood using the measurements I gave him for the walls.” I turned the birdhouse to show my class all four sides. Luka’s hand shot up. We were supposed to take questions if anyone had them. Luka was my friend, but he always asked a billion questions. I looked at the clock above the class door, just wanted to finish and sit down. “So if your dad cut the wood, what did you do?” he asked. The lump in my throat was now the size of a basketball. “I came up with the idea and talked with my dad about it. And I figured out how to nail the roof so I can clean out the house after the birds leave.” I lifted the roof to show everyone. “Then I nailed all the walls together.” I picked up the heavy hammer (锤子) I had borrowed from Dad. I had left one of the nails sticking out a little so I could demonstrate. As I gave the nail a hit, the hammer came down on the roof instead of the nail. The birdhouse landed in a noisy pile (堆) at my feet. There was a loud gasp (倒抽气), and then nobody spoke. “I wanted to show you how to build a birdhouse — and how to take it apart,” I said, thinking fast. “As you can see, I did it all myself.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The class broke into laughter and then started clapping for me! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I got home, Dad was shocked when he saw a pile of wood in my schoolbag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
