高效作业9 [Period Ⅳ　Writing] Unit 2　Looking into the Future 1 2 3 4 5 Ⅰ.阅读理解 You’ve likely been unable to avoid talking of the metaverse(元宇宙) in the past few months. The term, first coined(创造) by sci-­fi author Neal Stephenson in a 1992 novel, has become a vision of the future of technology in our lives. And if that is to be believed, it’s where we’ll be living the rest of our digital lives. “The metaverse is a further combination of our physical and digital lives，” says Cathy Hackl of Futures Intelligence Group. To put it plainly, the metaverse is a 3­-D virtual space that can be accessed through virtual reality goggles(护目镜), adding elements of the digital on top of our day­-to-­day lives. You could attend concerts and conferences in the metaverse, staged in a 3­-D digital representation of a nightclub or conference centre. Elsewhere, you’ll shop for shoes in a virtual Nike store or order food in a virtual McDonald’s and have it delivered to your real­world home. “It’s the future of the Internet. But it’s also about further connectivity，” says Hackl. So far, most of the attention around the metaverse has been focused on the company formerly known as Facebook, which rebranded in 2021 as Meta in an indication of how strongly it believes in the future of the metaverse. Founder Mark Zuckerberg wants a billion of us to live, work, and play in the metaverse by 2030. But Hackl warns people not to view the social media giant as the centre of the metaverse. “It’s not just one company，” she says. “No single company can build it, either.” It’s also not enabled by a single technology, even though right now the way to “enter” the metaverse is to wear a pair of virtual reality goggles. While the early running may be made by Meta, the momentum(势头) will be picked up by others. And just because we have an idea of what the metaverse will look like now, it doesn’t mean that’s what it’ll end up as Hackl warns. “The way I explain it is we’re in a high­speed train, destination metaverse，” she says. “We don’t know the stops, but we kind of know where we’re heading.” (　　　)1．What is the metaverse according to the passage? A．It is just a word from a sci­-fi novel. B．It is a 3­-D virtual space that can connect future life. C．It is where we’ll be living the rest of our digital lives. D．It is a virtual world that interacts with the real world through VR goggles. D (　　　)2．Why does the writer mention concerts and conferences in Paragraph 2? A．To introduce how the metaverse works. B．To recommend a new way of enjoying life in the future. C．To tell readers what the life will be like in the metaverse. D．To provide examples of how physical and digital lives combine. D (　　　)3．What can we know about Meta from the passage? A．It is the centre of the metaverse. B．It is a social media giant like Facebook. C．It seems to take a leading part in the field of the metaverse. D．It believes all of us could live, work and play in the metaverse by 2030. C (　　　)4．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A．We won’t stop until we realise the metaverse. B．It matters who will be in charge of the building of the metaverse. C．Hackl is not familiar with the train she took but knows where to get off. D．Though not knowing the process, Hackl is sure about the bright future of the metaverse. D 【语篇解读】本文介绍了什么是元宇宙、元宇宙将给我们的生活带来哪些改变以及对未来的展望。 1．D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To put it plainly, the metaverse is a 3­-D virtual space that can be accessed through virtual reality goggles(护目镜), adding elements of the digital on top of our day-­to-­day lives.(简而言之，虚拟世界是一个可以通过虚拟现实眼镜进入的3D虚拟空间，在我们的日常生活中添加了数字元素。)”可知，元宇宙是一个通过虚拟现实眼镜与现实世界互动的虚拟世界。故选D。 2．D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The metaverse is a further combination of our physical and digital lives(元宇宙是我们现实生活和数字生活的进一步结合)”和“To put it plainly, the metaverse is a 3­D virtual space…have it delivered to your real­world home.(简而言之，虚拟世界是一个可以通过虚拟现实眼镜进入的3D虚拟空间，在我们的日常生活中添加了数字元素。你可以在元宇宙里参加音乐会和会议，它们在三维数字形式的夜总会或会议中心举行。在其他地方，你可以在虚拟的耐克商店购买鞋子，或者在虚拟的麦当劳订购食物，然后让人把食物送到你现实世界的家里。)”可推知，作者提到音乐会和会议是为了提供现实生活和数字生活如何结合的例子。故选D。 3．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But Hackl warns people not to view the social media giant as the centre of the metaverse.’It’s not just one company，’ she says.’No single company can build it, either.’It’s also not enabled by a single technology, even though right now the way to ’enter’ the metaverse is to wear a pair of virtual reality goggles.While the early running may be made by Meta, the momentum(势头) will be picked up by others.(但Hackl 警告人们不要将这家社交媒体巨头视为虚拟世界的中心。’不只是一家公司，’她说。’也没有一家公司可以单独建造它。’它也不是由单一技术实现的，即使现在’进入’虚拟世界的方式是戴上一副虚拟现实眼镜。虽然Meta可能会抢先一步，但其他公司也会跟进。)”可知，Meta可能会在元宇宙领域中抢先一步占据主导地位。故选C。 4．D　句意猜测题。根据最后一段中的“And just because we have an idea of what the metaverse will look like now, it doesn’t mean that’s what it’ll end up as Hackl warns.’The way I explain it is we’re in a high­speed train, destination metaverse，’ she says.(Hackl 警告说，仅仅因为我们知道现在的元宇宙是什么样子，并不意味着它最终会是什么样子。她说：’我的解释是，我们是在一列高速列车上，目的地是元宇宙。’)”可推断出，最后一段加下划线的句子的意思是虽然不知道这个过程，但Hackl对元宇宙的光明未来充满信心。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五 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。 Skills You Need for Future Work Creativity 1．_____． Robots currently can’t compete with humans on creativity. The future workplace is going to demand new ways of thinking, and human creativity will be the key to it. 1 2 3 4 5 G Emotional intelligence You exhibit high emotional intelligence if you have empathy (同感) and work well with others. A machine can’t easily replace a human’s ability to connect with another human being. 2._____． Critical thinking A person with critical thinking skills can suggest innovative solutions and ideas and solve complex problems using reasoning and logic. 3._____． After observation, someone who is a strong analytical thinker will rely on logical reasoning rather than emotion, collect the pros and cons (利与弊) of a situation and be open­minded to the best possible solution. C F Technology skills The 4th industrial revolution (革命) is fuelled by technological innovations. This means that everyone will need a certain level of comfort around technology. 4._____． This requires some technical skills. Everyone needs to be able to understand the potential impact of new technologies on their industry, business, and job. E 5．_____ Due to the speed of change in the future workplace, people will have to be agile(机敏的) and able to embrace and celebrate change. Not only will our brains need to be flexible, but we’ll also need to be adaptable as we are required to adjust to shifting workplaces, expectations, and skill sets. A skill needed for the future will be the ability to see change as a chance to grow. B A．Active learning B．Accepting change C．So those who have high emotional intelligence will be in demand D．People should understand and respect others despite differences in culture E．Most employees will be required to access data and determine how to act on it F．The first step in critical thinking is to analyse information from various resources G．Human workers need to be creative to fully realise the benefits of all the new things in the future 【语篇解读】文章介绍了未来工作需要的几种技能。 1．G　根据下文“Robots currently can’t compete with humans on creativity. The future workplace is going to demand new ways of thinking, and human creativity will be the key to it.(在创造力方面，机器人目前还无法与人类竞争。未来的工作场所将需要新的思维方式，而人类的创造力将是关键。)”可知，人类的创造力比机器人强，并且也是未来工作创作的关键，G项“人类工作者需要有创造力以充分认识到未来所有新事物的好处”承接上文，指出了人类创造力的作用，符合语境。故选G。 2．C　根据上文“You exhibit high emotional intelligence if you have empathy (同感) and work well with others. A machine can’t easily replace a human’s ability to connect with another human being.(如果你有同理心并且与他人合作良好，你会表现出高情商。机器无法轻易取代人类与他人交流的能力。)”可推知，高情商的人会在工作中更被需要。C项“所以那些高情商的人会很抢手”与上文构成因果关系，符合语境。故选C。 3．F　根据上文“A person with critical thinking skills can suggest innovative solutions and ideas and solve complex problems using reasoning and logic.(具有批判性思维能力的人可以提出创新的解决方案和想法，并使用推理和逻辑解决复杂问题。)”和下文“After observation…(观察之后……)”可推知，空处应陈述养成批判性思维的第一步；F项“批判性思维的第一步是分析来自各种资源的信息”符合语境。故选F。 4．E　根据下文“This requires some technical skills.(这需要一些技术技能。)”中的This推知，This指代空处提到一些需要员工处理的问题，并且这些问题需要员工有一定的技术能力。E项“大多数员工将被要求访问数据并决定如何对其采取行动”符合语境。故选E。 5．B　空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Due to the speed of change in the future workplace, people will have to be agile (机敏的) and able to embrace and celebrate change.(由于未来工作场所的变化速度，人们必须灵活，能够接受和庆祝变化。)”可知，本段主要介绍了人们要接受改变，B项“接受改变”可以概括本段内容，符合语境。故选B。 Ⅲ.完形填空 [2024·镇江中学检测] I log on to a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.
