[对应学生用书P490] (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·湖北武汉模拟)When he flagged me down，I thought he was an elder collecting a “customs fee”，the few dollars it costs to use village roads that lead to many of Samoa's sights.He'd been sitting lazily in a greying roadside shack (棚子) built for such occasions.Normally I wouldn't pick up a free rider.But I tried to live out a dream. I'd wanted to go to Pulemelei Mound since I'd heard it mentioned in an archaeology class years ago.The “mound” is actually a pyramid 40 feet high and roughly 200 feet across at its base.So，I asked，“Do you know how to get to Pulemelei Mound？” “Mmm，” he said，raising his eyebrows in the classic Polynesian gesture for “yes”．“I need to pick up my car at the mechanic but no hurry，I'll take you there first if you want.” You'd think that a giant pyramid would be a major sight，or at least something many people had heard of，but it isn't.My accidental friend's raise of the eyebrows was the most promising prospect I'd had in a week. We drove along the road in silence for a few minutes.Then my new friend broke the silence and，meanwhile，my hopes.“I've never been to Pulemelei，” he said.“I've lived here but I never thought of going.” My heart sank.But we pressed on，crossing a stream，walking through waist­high grass，and then another mile of hot walk until we found a sign.There，barely visible，were the words: “Pulemelei Mound 150m”．The sign marked a dark tunnel of jungle.Then the path opened to rays of sunshine.We climbed.And then，magic.We were standing on top of a Polynesian pyramid. Just then，my friend，obviously awed by what he saw，turned toward me，and placed his big Samoan hands on my shoulders.In the most natural way，he bent down and kissed me gently on the cheek. “Thank you，” he said.

Sora，developed by OpenAI，has quickly become a focal point of discussion within Hollywood.Unlike previous AI video generators，Sora has the ability to generate one­minute­long videos based on textual prompts (提示) while maintaining visual quality and consistency.It can switch between shots，adjust compositions and accurately combine video content with relevant background themes，resulting in incredibly realistic and virtual videos. The introduction of Sora is just the beginning of a shocking shift in the film industry.Its ability to generate high­quality videos based on textual prompts raises questions about the future of traditional movie­making processes.The potential to replace certain job roles and disturb the livelihoods of some individuals is just a small part of the overall impact. Looking ahead，the innovation of productivity tools and the potential for smaller teams to create Hollywood­level movies at a lower cost may completely transform the way films are produced.This shift could bring about new production methods，viewing experiences，and even business models within the film and entertainment industry. This breakthrough technology has raised concerns within the film industry，as it has the potential to disturb the traditional movie production process and cause certain job roles'losses.However，this technology also presents opportunities for innovation and cost­effective production methods.The film industry is on the edge of a transformative era，and only time will tell how Sora and similar technologies will shape its future.It likely won't be long before audiences get to see film productions made with Sora.It can be stated with certainty that the film industry has entered a new era of rapid development in AI technology.

[语篇解读]　新闻报道。中国的龙和西方的龙在起源、象征等方面存在很大的不同。西方故事中的龙是可怕的怪物；中国龙代表力量和财富，是吉利的象征。文化专家呼吁使用“龙”这个词来区分中国龙与西方龙，有助于推动文化自信。 1．解析　accurately　考查副词。此处应用副词修饰整个句子，故填副词accurately。 2．解析　description　考查名词。分析句子结构可知，这个句子由主句和一个描述性介绍短语组成。空处所在的词组在整个句子中是主语，因此动词需变成名词形式，故填description。 3．解析　whose　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是a Scandinavian hero，空处作定语修饰名词contribution，故用关系代词whose，表示所属关系。 4．解析　as　考查介词。此处指希腊神话也将龙描绘成凶猛的海怪。present有“呈现，展现”的意思，present ...as ...意为“以某种方式/样子展现”。故填as。 5．解析　possessions　考查名词复数。possession意为“个人财产”时，是可数名词，经常以复数形式出现，空前无限定词，故填possessions。 6．解析　created　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作后置定语，a word与create之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词表被动。故填created。 7．解析　be distinguished　考查动词的语态。分析句子结构可知，情态动词should加空处动词构成谓语动词。主语是loong，与谓语动词distinguish之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动形式，又因为情态动词should后动词用原形，故填be distinguished。 8．解析　a　考查冠词。此处意为“一本已有两千年之久的中国史书”，表示泛指，且2，000­year­old的发音以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。 9．解析　predicting　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作后置定语，修饰这个梦境，故用现在分词形式predicting。 10．解析　to tell　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语，应用动词不定式，故填to tell。此处tell意为“区分，辨别”，属于熟词生义的用法。 写作规范练(三) [对应学生用书P493] 第一节(满分15分) (2024·山东济南模拟)假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Chris来邮件与你分享了他参加了他们学校中文学习俱乐部开展的“中国成语(Chinese Idioms)”比赛，并获得了冠军的消息。请你给他写一封回信。 要求如下： 1．表达祝贺； 2．肯定努力； 3．表达祝愿。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文流畅； 3．称呼与结尾已给出，请按如下格式作答。 Dear Chris， ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely， Li Hua One possible version： Dear Chris， I'm so delighted to learn that you have been the champion of Chinese Idioms contest in your school.This is a special and happy moment for you.I'm very proud of you.Please accept my sincerest congratulations!

He wandered through life，moving like a boat without a rudder(舵).Unemployed and uncertain，his days were gray and boring，punctuated by the occasional job interviews that led nowhere. One day，the cold rain fell，matching the despair that had settled in his heart.Ducking into the nearest shelter，he pushed open the heavy doors of the old town library，a place he hadn't visited since his school days. With few people in the library，the place was quiet，whose towering bookshelves were like silent soldiers guarding the wisdom of the ages.The musty scent of aged paper and the soft whispers of turning pages enveloped him，offering the peace he hadn't had for a long time. He began visiting the library daily，away from the noise of his own uncertainty.Each book was a window to another world，another life，and he found himself drawn to the stories of those who had faced adversity and emerged stronger.Sometimes，the librarian，Mrs.Harper，a kind，silver­haired woman, often brought him cups of hot chocolate or coffee，her silent support a comfort to his weary spirit. As weeks turned into months，Alex found himself lost in the piles，diving into biographies and histories，philosophies and scientific breakthroughs.He read about great minds，inventors，and visionaries who had once stood at the edge of despair，only to rise to the peak of success and found directions and discovered his passion for technology and innovation.Greatly inspired，Alex signed up for a programming course on technology and excelled it.With a newfound sense of direction，he began his job search with determination. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Despite the tough competition，Alex aimed for positions at major companies.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Years later，he got the news that the library was closing for lack of funds.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ [导语]　本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alex在失业后如何通过图书馆的帮助重新找到人生方向，并最终成功转型为一名技术工作者。 [详解]　 1．段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“尽管竞争激烈，Alex还是瞄准了大公司的职位。”以及第二段首句内容“多年后，他得知图书馆因资金不足而面临关闭。”可知，第一段可描写Alex凭借习得的技能在一家大公司找到了工作，他心中对图书馆充满感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“多年后，他得知图书馆因资金不足而面临关闭。”可知，第二段可描写Alex采取行动，组织各种活动，成功帮助图书馆重新开放。 2．续写线索：积极找工作—找到了工作—对图书馆充满感激之情—听说图书馆面临关闭—采取行动帮助图书馆—筹集足够资金，图书馆继续开放。 One possible version： Despite the tough competition，Alex aimed for positions at major companies. He submitted countless resumes and attended numerous interviews，armed with his newfound knowledge and skills.Each rejection was a sting but also a motivation to improve.Finally，his perseverance paid off when he received an offer from a leading tech firm.His heart filled with gratitude for the library that had been his refuge and the books that had been his guiding light. Years later，he got the news that the library was closing for lack of funds. Remembering how the library had changed his life，Alex decided to act.He organized fundraising events and reached out to the community.With the support of many who had also found solace in the library，they managed to raise enough funds to keep it open.The library，once again，stood as a symbol of hope and knowledge，continuing to transform lives just as it had done for Alex. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
