第3课时　主题阅读课 目录 CONTENTS 一、精读阅读理解——提素养 二、精析读后续写——启思维 课时作业（三） 一、精读阅读理解——提素养 (2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读理解D篇)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 roadmap 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 translating 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 pan 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. (说明：文中加蓝词汇为本单元主题词汇) [真题评价] [价值导向]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design： A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书阐述了 AI的发展现状与前景，强调人类控制 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。文章旨在激发学生的批判性思维，培养其科学探究精神，体现高考语篇对科技发展的高度关注。 1．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be “neighbours” with him, let alone sit next to him. It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out.❶ Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the “trash king”． [2] Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a “garbage-inspired inventor” who has won the City Invention Award. According to Ms Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a“domestic wastewater separation system”． [3] Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack's way of “picking up trash”. We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the “trash king”. Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack's guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash. [4] Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention — a small cart (手推车) for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels? We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases.❷ However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；　2.请按如下格式作答。 When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea. ________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart.____________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ [高分写作指导] 一、读文路径 1．把握结构主旨 2．抓住5W1H who I, ①_______ (主要人物), Ms Zhang, the group. what Jack invented a new vegetable cart whose wheels ②______ __________________. when One year ago, when I was in fifth grade. where In school and at my home. why We were inspired by Jack's inventions and his ③____________ __________ thoughts. how We were all deep in thought how to find ④__________________ for the wheels.

(呼应式结尾)From then on, the nickname “trash king” didn't belong to Jack himself but was owned by us five boys. 2．做到衔接照应全文(请完成文章续写) When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea. ________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ What if we could use bottle caps as wheels for Jack's vegetable cart? It seemed like a simple solution, but it could work if we found enough bottle caps. Excited, I shared my idea with the group the next day. Jack's eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he realized the potential of this suggestion. We immediately set out to collect as many bottle caps as we could find, searching not only the garbage dumps but also asking friends and family to save them for us. (动作描写，对应伏笔1) Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart. ____________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ___________________________ It was a moment of pleasure for all of us, seeing our collective efforts and creativity pay off.

(对应伏笔2) Inspired by Jack's intelligence, our group continued to explore ways to recycle waste, knowing that small actions could lead to big changes in our community and beyond. 课时作业（三） Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025· 揭阳联考)A wearable health monitor developed by Washington State University researchers can reliably measure levels of important biochemicals in sweat during physical exercise.The 3D-printed monitor could someday provide a simple and non-invasive (无创的) way to track health conditions and diagnose common diseases, such as diabetes, kidney disease or heart disease. Reporting in the journal, ACS Sensors, the researchers were able to accurately monitor the levels of volunteers' glucose (葡萄糖) and uric acid (尿酸)． “Diabetes is a major problem worldwide，” said Chuchu Chen, the first author of the paper.“I think 3D printing can make a difference to the healthcare fields, and I wanted to see if we can combine 3D printing with disease detection methods to create a device like this.” For their new health monitor, the researchers used 3D printing to make the health monitors in a unique, one-step manufacturing process. The researchers used a single-atom catalyst and enzymatic reactions to enhance the signal and measure low levels of the biomarkers.Three biosensors on the monitor change color to indicate the specific biochemical levels. Sweat contains many important chemicals that can indicate health conditions, but, unlike blood sampling, it's non-invasive.Levels of uric acid in sweat can indicate the risk of developing kidney disease or heart disease.Glucose levels are used to monitor diabetes. But the amount of these chemicals in sweat is tiny and can be hard to measure, the researchers noted.While other sweat sensors (传感器) have been developed, they are complex and need specialized equipment and expertise to make. When the researchers compared the new monitors on volunteers' arms to lab results, they found that their monitor was accurately and reliably measuring the concentration of the chemicals.The researchers are now working to further improve the device design and validation.They are also hoping to commercialize the technology. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款3D打印的可穿戴健康监测器，能准确检测汗液中的葡萄糖和尿酸水平，用于疾病诊断。 1．What does Chuchu Chen stress? A．The application of 3D printing in real life. B．The way to make 3D printing develop quickly. C．The integration of 3D printing and medical technology. D．The change in people's health caused by 3D printing. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中Chuchu Chen所说的话可知，Chuchu Chen强调的是3D打印与医疗技术的结合。 √ 2．What can we know about sweat from the text? A．The chemicals in it can reflect health conditions. B．Using it to monitor different diseases is invasive. C．It contains some chemicals that cause heart disease. D．The researchers find it difficult to measure its amount. 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“Sweat contains many important chemicals that can indicate health conditions”可知，汗液中的化学物质可以反映健康状况。 √ 3．What is the advantage of the health monitor over other sweat sensors? A．It's easier to operate. B．It's more specialized. C．It's more commonly used. D．It's more environmentally friendly. 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While other sweat sensors ... are complex and need specialized equipment and expertise to make.”可推知，这种健康监测器比其他汗液传感器更容易操作。 √ 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．3D printing is used to monitor diseases B．Sweat can help treat some common diseases C．Blood sampling isn't as accurate as sweat monitoring D．A sweat health monitor measures levels of disease markers 解析：标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种可以测量疾病标志物水平的汗液健康监测器。所以D项“汗液健康监测仪测量疾病标志物的水平”适合作本文的标题。 √ B (2025·南京期中)Some people worry that there's too much technology in our lives.And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the Internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication.It's practically difficult to shun technology in our world.There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end? Well, if certain people have their way, it'll go even further.We'll have microchips implanted (植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone.It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising.Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains. For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy (癫痫) patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity.Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson's disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression. However，it's another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals.There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of.The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity.Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them.Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we'd need to be 100 per cent certain that it's safe. How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain? A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they'd be okay with it, but that's when it's purely theoretical.In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists. Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。 5．What does the underlined word “shun” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Develop.　　　　 B．Avoid. C．Change. D．Trust. 解析：词义猜测题。画线词所在句后文说明电脑微芯片在人们的日常生活中已经是普遍存在，从而推知画线词的意思是“回避，不用”。 √ 6．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3? A．The possible treatment for particular diseases. B．The process of human-computer interaction. C．The existing application of microchip implants. D．The future of microchips and devices alike. √ 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains”和第三段中的“For example ... the abnormal neurological activity.”可知，作者想通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。 7．How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality? A．They may reject it. B．They may expect it. C．They may adjust to it. D．They may feel curious about it. 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，在现实中，大多数美国人可能会拒绝在大脑中植入芯片。 √ 8．What might be the best title for the text? A．Computer-brain interface: The light of the future B．Innovation is necessary to make progress C．Where are we in the medical technology? D．Mind-controlled tech: Is it possible? 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据倒数第二段第一句可知，本文探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。故D项“大脑控制技术：这可能吗？”适合作文章标题。 √ Ⅱ.读后续写 精品课件·名师析题 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 (2025·山东省实验中学模拟)It was just three days from New Year, and I was far from home.As a touring musician, I'd gotten used to being away from my family for months on end.I'd missed countless birthdays, anniversaries, and family celebrations because of my unconventional work schedule.But this was the first time I had been away from my families for New Year.I was not overstating it when I said that I didn't know anyone for hundreds of miles! Technically, I knew I would be away for New Year, but the reality of it didn't really dawn on me before I hit the road.I could just see it: In three days, I would be alone in a hotel room, eating cheap takeout, and feeling very sorry for myself.The thought of it was more than I could bear.I decided to do something.I wrote a post on a social media site: “I'm about to spend New Year alone in Winnipeg, Canada.Does anyone know of a community center hosting a public dinner？” There, I thought, with all the people I knew, someone might have some idea! A friend immediately wrote back：“My friends live outside the city.I'll connect you with them.” So, three days later, I drove to the small town, to spend New Year with strangers.I pulled up in front of a small, lakeside house.A smiling couple waved at me from the front door.I stepped out of the car, a little tired, hungry, and mildly anxious.New Year is a time for family.Would it be okay to join in this private celebration? As I stepped into Betty and Gary's home, I was immediately greeted with warmth.The wood stove took every bit of coldness out of the air.The smell of food enveloped me like a soft blanket.And the warmth didn't just come from the home or the food.It also came from Betty, Gary, and their guests.We gathered around the table; introductions were made. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式作答。 Soon I discovered that people there weren't related by blood. ______ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Since that time, Betty and Gary have become my true friends. _____ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 参考范文： Soon I discovered that people there weren't related by blood.Instead, we were all connected by something much greater.My anxiety melted away as I was drawn into this circle of friendship.To offer them something, I pulled Betty aside and said, “After the meal, if you like, I'd love to perform a mini-concert as my contribution to the evening.” “You have no idea how much we would love that！”she replied.So, once everyone finished their meal, I began to sing songs with a message of hope and joy.Quickly, an incredible night passed. Since that time, Betty and Gary have become my true friends.I've spent many nights in their sweet house by the lake and enjoyed countless meals with them.I've performed in their house, friends and strangers joining me.I thought I was going to spend the holiday with strangers, but I really didn't, because something special and warm happened when good food was generously shared around a table.Conversations began.Laughter started to flow.Divisions disappeared.Relationships were born.Memories were created. $$
