The Current Situation and Challenges of Media Development: Moving Forward in the Wave of Change
In today's era, the media is undergoing unprecedented changes. From traditional print media and broadcast media to the rise of new media and social media, the form and function of the media have been continuously enriched and expanded, profoundly affecting every aspect of society and individuals.
Digital media, with its characteristics of rapid transmission and strong interactivity, has gradually become the main force of information dissemination. People can obtain a large amount of information through various digital platforms anytime and anywhere, which greatly facilitates communication and exchanges between people. However, while digital media brings convenience, it also brings problems such as information overload. Faced with a flood of information, people often find it difficult to distinguish the authenticity, which to some extent reduces the efficiency of information acquisition.
Social media, as an important part of new media, plays an increasingly important role in shaping public opinion. It provides a platform for people to express their views and exchange ideas, promoting the formation of public opinion on various social issues. But at the same time, the spread of fake news on social media has also become a prominent problem. Some false information spreads rapidly through social networks, misleading the public and even triggering social panic, which poses a severe challenge to media credibility.
The trend of media convergence is becoming increasingly obvious. Traditional media are actively integrating with digital technology to explore new modes of information dissemination. For example, many newspapers and TV stations have set up their own digital platforms to realize the integration of print media, broadcast media and digital media. This integration not only enriches the forms of media products but also improves the efficiency of information dissemination. However, in the process of media convergence, issues such as privacy have also attracted widespread attention. The collection and use of user data by media platforms have raised concerns about the protection of personal privacy.
In the face of these challenges, improving media literacy has become an urgent task for the whole society. The public needs to learn to correctly identify information, rationally view the content spread by the media, and avoid being misled by false information. At the same time, media regulation is also crucial. Relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of the media industry, standardize the behavior of media practitioners, and promote the healthy development of the media.
Journalists, editors, media producers and other media practitioners shoulder important responsibilities. They should adhere to the principles of objectivity and fairness, ensure the authenticity and accuracy of information, and play a positive role in promoting cultural exchange and social progress.
In the wave of media change, we need to correctly understand the current situation and challenges of media development, take active measures to deal with them, and promote the media to play a better role in the new era.

媒体发展现状与挑战:在变革浪潮中前行
在当今时代,媒体正经历着前所未有的变革。从传统的印刷媒体和广播媒体,到新媒体和社交媒体的兴起,媒体的形式与功能不断丰富和拓展,深刻地影响着社会与个人的方方面面。
数字媒体凭借其传播迅速、互动性强等特点,逐渐成为信息传播的主力军。人们可以通过各种数字平台随时随地获取大量信息,极大地方便了人与人之间的沟通与交流。然而,在数字媒体带来便利的同时,也引发了诸如信息过载等问题。面对海量的信息,人们常常难以辨别其真伪,这在一定程度上降低了信息获取的效率。
社交媒体作为新媒体的重要组成部分,在塑造公众舆论方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。它为人们提供了表达观点和交流想法的平台,推动了各种社会问题上公众舆论的形成。但与此同时,社交媒体上假新闻的传播也成为一个突出问题。一些虚假信息通过社交网络迅速扩散,误导公众,甚至引发社会恐慌,这对媒体的公信力构成了严峻挑战。
媒体融合的趋势日益明显。传统媒体积极与数字技术融合,探索新的信息传播模式。例如,许多报纸和电视台都建立了自己的数字平台,实现了印刷媒体、广播媒体和数字媒体的融合。这种融合不仅丰富了媒体产品的形式,还提高了信息传播的效率。然而,在媒体融合的过程中,隐私等问题也引起了广泛关注。媒体平台对用户数据的收集和使用引发了人们对个人隐私保护的担忧。
面对这些挑战,提高公众的媒介素养已成为全社会的紧迫任务。公众需要学会正确识别信息,理性看待媒体传播的内容,避免被虚假信息误导。同时,媒体监管也至关重要。相关部门应加强对媒体行业的监管,规范媒体从业者的行为,促进媒体的健康发展。
记者、编辑、媒体制作人等媒体从业者肩负着重要责任。他们应秉持客观、公正的原则,确保信息的真实性和准确性,在促进文化交流和社会进步方面发挥积极作用。
在媒体变革的浪潮中,我们需要正确认识媒体发展的现状与挑战,采取积极措施加以应对,推动媒体在新时代发挥更好的作用。

高考真题链接
(2023·新高考Ⅱ卷)Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book,represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history,in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading,we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school,with the books as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume,deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments we can all relate__to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智),wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press,books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently,as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway,artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers,pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view,the printed book is certainly ancient,but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function,a book must be activated by a user:the cover opened,the pages parted,the contents reviewed,perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked,a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private,“off-line” activity.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. An introduction to a book.
B. An essay on the art of writing.
C. A guidebook to a museum.
D. A review of modern paintings.
29. What are the selected artworks about?
A. Wealth and intellect.
B. Home and school.
C. Books and reading.
D. Work and leisure.
30. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Understand. B. Paint.
C. Seize. D. Transform.
31. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?
A. The printed book is not totally out of date.
B. Technology has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D. People now rarely have the patience to read.

Passage 1
(2024-2025学年江西省南昌市江西师范大学附属中学高二下学期英语期末试卷)A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry Ⅷ a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation(二次方程式)” would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself.
Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.
If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine, is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem(贝叶斯定理), a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths.
Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand.
1. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Designing math homework is easier.
B. Quadratic equation may confuse young learners.
C. Nine-year-olds enjoy history questions.
D. Postgraduates find math problems too simple.
2. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author?
A. It covers various topics.
B. It casts light on math thoughts.
C. It satisfies maths professionals.
D. It makes sense to ordinary people.
3. How does Professor Spiegelhalter explain probability and statistics?
A. By using advanced mathematical formulas.
B. By analyzing real-life questions with simple maths.
C. By discussing complex scientific theories.
D. By conducting experiments in lecture theatres.
4. The text is probably written to ______.
A. introduce a new book on mathematics.
B. compare teaching mathematics with history.
C. explain complex mathematical theories simply.
D. persuade people to study probability and statistics.
Passage 2
(2024-2025学年四川省成都东部新区养马高级中学高二下学期6月月考英语试题)I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right?
I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch “Outlander” before I go, which is like “Game of Thrones” for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland? Not exactly.
A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great.
I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free — and not sticky — so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free?
All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles(弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent(意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now. I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, “Moderation in all things,” though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of “Outlander” has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free.
5. By “I always nod and agree” (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ .
A. she doesn’t think highly of TV either
B. she believes those who say they don’t watch TV
C. she should be polite to get the conversation to go on
D. she is not willing to admit that she watches television
6. The phrase “back to back” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ______ ”.
A. from morning till night B. one after another without a break
C. looking at the opposite direction D. leaning against the back of the couch
7. The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, most probably because ______ .
A. she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks
B. the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland
C. the television series was no more attractive than the book
D. she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV
8. What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5?
A. Reading is active while watching TV is passive.
B. Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t.
C. Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t.
D. Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it.

(2024-2025学年广东省茂名市电白区高二下学期期中考试英语试题)
By Global Times Published: May 13, 2024 09: 39 PM
China’s popular show Chinese Poetry Conference has not only received a warm welcome from audiences for its cultural knowledge and ancient wisdom, but also become a stage and platform for cultural exchanges.
Cambodian Princess Jenna Norodom appeared on the latest episode of Chinese Poetry Conference on China Central TV on Saturday and shared her knowledge about China’s ancient poems. She said that China and Cambodia have an unbreakable bond of friendship and that she has been learning Chinese and ancient Chinese poems.
She noted that she hopes to learn some poems about friendship and recite them to her Chinese friends. During the show, she recited one of her favorite poems: “I live upstream and you downstream by Yangtze Blue. Day after day of you I think, but you are not in view. Although as one we drink, the water clear of River Blue.”
In her eyes, the poem written by Li Zhiyi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, expresses well the feeling of longing as Cambodia and China will always be good partners and good neighbors who “drink from the same river.”
Shan Jixiang, president of the China Cultural Relics Academy, said that the 2024 season of Chinese Poetry Conference is about not only the preservation of poetry, but also refreshing and boosting China’s fine traditional culture. Poems carry the emotional wisdom of the stages of past dynasties and the cultural mark of the Chinese nation. The program perfectly combines the soul of poetry for thousands of years with modern beauty and shows the rich heritage of Chinese culture to the world.

C. It is an expression of the mutual(相互的) longing despite geographical separation.
D. It is a reflection of the historical ties and common ancestry(祖先) of the two countries.
15. What is an aim of the Chinese Poetry Conference?
A. Chinese language teaching. B. Ancient poetry appreciation.

Passage 5
(安徽省合肥一六八中学2024-2025学年高二上学期期中英语试题)TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been known for its viral dance videos and pop music. 1 Google data showed nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches.
“Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok’s powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most,” said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic.
Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. 2 “All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly,” said Dana.
3 “On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt,” said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can’t capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks.
Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. 4 Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. “Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations,” she added.
Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. 5 Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos.
“Even if people aren’t interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches,” Sheares told ABC News.
A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google.
B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants.
C. TikTok’s funny videos also make some kids addicted.
D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits.
E. But TikTok’s personalized videos helped her out of the situation.
F. Being able to see scenes of real people also makes Dana feel trust in them.
G. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines among young people.
Passage 6
(云南省玉溪市2024-2025学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题)Inspired by IShowSpeed’s captivating travel streams, a wave of young enthusiasts is now eager to capture their own travel adventures on video. Creating a travel video is not just about filming scenic spots. 6 Here are some practical tips to help you craft (构思) an impressive work.
●Craft your story
Firstly, prioritize storytelling when shooting. 7 Instead, define a clear story for your video. For instance, if you visit a stunning beach in Bali, your story could revolve around your journey there, the moment of arrival, and conclude with a breathtaking beach sunset. Once you have a rough outline, shoot footage (镜头) that goes well with each part of the story. Pay attention to details during shooting, like the unique expressions of local people or the feature of special architecture, which can add vividness to your story.
● 8
Whether through smooth visual transitions or a casual vlog-style delivery, a well-thought-out flow will attract your audience and keep them engaged. Experiment with different shot types, such as wide-angle shots to showcase the grand scenery and close-ups to highlight small but meaningful items.
●Use music to structure your video
Let the music guide your video’s structure. Don’t just add a piece of music randomly. 9 This simple technique can instantly boost the professionalism of your video, transforming an amateur-looking production into a polished piece.
Additionally, use sound effects sparingly to enhance the atmosphere. When you are shooting the beach, how could you make the beach appealing? 10 With these tips, you’re well on your way to creating an amazing travel video.
With these tips in mind, you’re well on your way to creating a travel video that not only documents your adventures but also shares your unique perspective with the world.
A. Focus on the flow.
B. Choose a surprising ending.
C. Select a song that expresses the overall mood.
D. Avoid the common mistake of random filming.
E. The beat of the music must go with the video’s content.
F. It’s also about crafting a narrative that resonates with viewers.
G. The sound of waves crashing can make the beach more immersive.

The Current Situation and Challenges of Media Development: Moving Forward in the Wave of Change
In today's era, the media is undergoing unprecedented changes. From traditional print media and broadcast media to the rise of new media and social media, the form and function of the media have been continuously enriched and expanded, profoundly affecting every aspect of society and individuals.
Digital media, with its characteristics of rapid transmission and strong interactivity, has gradually become the main force of information dissemination. People can obtain a large amount of information through various digital platforms anytime and anywhere, which greatly facilitates communication and exchanges between people. However, while digital media brings convenience, it also brings problems such as information overload. Faced with a flood of information, people often find it difficult to distinguish the authenticity, which to some extent reduces the efficiency of information acquisition.
Social media, as an important part of new media, plays an increasingly important role in shaping public opinion. It provides a platform for people to express their views and exchange ideas, promoting the formation of public opinion on various social issues. But at the same time, the spread of fake news on social media has also become a prominent problem. Some false information spreads rapidly through social networks, misleading the public and even triggering social panic, which poses a severe challenge to media credibility.
The trend of media convergence is becoming increasingly obvious. Traditional media are actively integrating with digital technology to explore new modes of information dissemination. For example, many newspapers and TV stations have set up their own digital platforms to realize the integration of print media, broadcast media and digital media. This integration not only enriches the forms of media products but also improves the efficiency of information dissemination. However, in the process of media convergence, issues such as privacy have also attracted widespread attention. The collection and use of user data by media platforms have raised concerns about the protection of personal privacy.
In the face of these challenges, improving media literacy has become an urgent task for the whole society. The public needs to learn to correctly identify information, rationally view the content spread by the media, and avoid being misled by false information. At the same time, media regulation is also crucial. Relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of the media industry, standardize the behavior of media practitioners, and promote the healthy development of the media.
Journalists, editors, media producers and other media practitioners shoulder important responsibilities. They should adhere to the principles of objectivity and fairness, ensure the authenticity and accuracy of information, and play a positive role in promoting cultural exchange and social progress.
In the wave of media change, we need to correctly understand the current situation and challenges of media development, take active measures to deal with them, and promote the media to play a better role in the new era.

媒体发展现状与挑战:在变革浪潮中前行
在当今时代,媒体正经历着前所未有的变革。从传统的印刷媒体和广播媒体,到新媒体和社交媒体的兴起,媒体的形式与功能不断丰富和拓展,深刻地影响着社会与个人的方方面面。
数字媒体凭借其传播迅速、互动性强等特点,逐渐成为信息传播的主力军。人们可以通过各种数字平台随时随地获取大量信息,极大地方便了人与人之间的沟通与交流。然而,在数字媒体带来便利的同时,也引发了诸如信息过载等问题。面对海量的信息,人们常常难以辨别其真伪,这在一定程度上降低了信息获取的效率。
社交媒体作为新媒体的重要组成部分,在塑造公众舆论方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。它为人们提供了表达观点和交流想法的平台,推动了各种社会问题上公众舆论的形成。但与此同时,社交媒体上假新闻的传播也成为一个突出问题。一些虚假信息通过社交网络迅速扩散,误导公众,甚至引发社会恐慌,这对媒体的公信力构成了严峻挑战。
媒体融合的趋势日益明显。传统媒体积极与数字技术融合,探索新的信息传播模式。例如,许多报纸和电视台都建立了自己的数字平台,实现了印刷媒体、广播媒体和数字媒体的融合。这种融合不仅丰富了媒体产品的形式,还提高了信息传播的效率。然而,在媒体融合的过程中,隐私等问题也引起了广泛关注。媒体平台对用户数据的收集和使用引发了人们对个人隐私保护的担忧。
面对这些挑战,提高公众的媒介素养已成为全社会的紧迫任务。公众需要学会正确识别信息,理性看待媒体传播的内容,避免被虚假信息误导。同时,媒体监管也至关重要。相关部门应加强对媒体行业的监管,规范媒体从业者的行为,促进媒体的健康发展。
记者、编辑、媒体制作人等媒体从业者肩负着重要责任。他们应秉持客观、公正的原则,确保信息的真实性和准确性,在促进文化交流和社会进步方面发挥积极作用。
在媒体变革的浪潮中,我们需要正确认识媒体发展的现状与挑战,采取积极措施加以应对,推动媒体在新时代发挥更好的作用。

高考真题链接
(2023·新高考Ⅱ卷)Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book,represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history,in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading,we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school,with the books as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume,deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments we can all relate__to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智),wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press,books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently,as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway,artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers,pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view,the printed book is certainly ancient,but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function,a book must be activated by a user:the cover opened,the pages parted,the contents reviewed,perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked,a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private,“off-line” activity.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. An introduction to a book.
B. An essay on the art of writing.
C. A guidebook to a museum.
D. A review of modern paintings.
29. What are the selected artworks about?
A. Wealth and intellect.
B. Home and school.
C. Books and reading.
D. Work and leisure.
30. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Understand. B. Paint.
C. Seize. D. Transform.
31. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?
A. The printed book is not totally out of date.
B. Technology has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D. People now rarely have the patience to read.
【答案】28-31 ACAA
【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了《阅读艺术:书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书的内容以及本文作者对纸质书的乐观看法。
28. 文章开篇介绍了《Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers》这本书,提及它收录了世界各地博物馆的近 300 件艺术品,围绕 “书” 这一主题展开,后文还详细描述了书中艺术品的内容、排列方式以及书籍在艺术中的象征意义等。这些内容均符合对一本书的介绍特征,而非关于写作艺术的散文、博物馆指南或现代绘画评论,因此该文本最可能来自一本书的引言。
29. 文中明确提到 “In this ‘book of books,’ artworks are selected and arranged... We see scenes of children learning to read... Adults are portrayed... absorbed in a volume...”,且多次围绕书籍和阅读展开,如书籍在不同场景中的呈现、人们阅读的画面等,可知所选艺术品均与书籍和阅读相关。
30. 前文提到这些场景可能是数百年前绘制的,但它们记录的瞬间是我们都能 “relate to” 的。结合语境,数百年前的阅读场景虽时间久远,但人们对阅读的体验是共通的,所以此处 “relate to” 应表示 “理解、产生共鸣”,与 “Understand” 意思相近。
31. 作者提到 “Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.”,随后指出从 21 世纪的视角看,纸质书虽然古老,但和电子阅读器一样具有互动性,还能提供私密的 “离线” 体验。由此可知,作者提及电子阅读器是为了说明纸质书并未完全过时。

Passage 1
(2024-2025学年江西省南昌市江西师范大学附属中学高二下学期英语期末试卷)A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry Ⅷ a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation(二次方程式)” would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself.
Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.
If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine, is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem(贝叶斯定理), a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths.
Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand.
1. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Designing math homework is easier.
B. Quadratic equation may confuse young learners.
C. Nine-year-olds enjoy history questions.
D. Postgraduates find math problems too simple.
2. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author?
A. It covers various topics.
B. It casts light on math thoughts.
C. It satisfies maths professionals.
D. It makes sense to ordinary people.
3. How does Professor Spiegelhalter explain probability and statistics?
A. By using advanced mathematical formulas.
B. By analyzing real-life questions with simple maths.
C. By discussing complex scientific theories.
D. By conducting experiments in lecture theatres.
4. The text is probably written to ______.
A. introduce a new book on mathematics.
B. compare teaching mathematics with history.
C. explain complex mathematical theories simply.
D. persuade people to study probability and statistics.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 4. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了剑桥大学统计学教授斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的新书《不确定性的艺术》,介绍了其内容特色及价值。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed. (但是“解这个二次方程式”会让教室里的学生不知所措,也让讲座厅里的人无动于衷。)”可知,二次方程式可能会让年轻的学习者感到困惑。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. (他的新书将吸引的不仅仅是数学家,因为它的主题是普遍的:如何分析机会、不确定性和风险。)”可知,这本书对普通人来说很有意义,这是它最大的卖点。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem (贝叶斯定理), a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths. (斯皮格尔哈尔特教授对这些问题的探索令人愉快。首先,他用它们来说明概率和统计是如何工作的更广泛的概念。因此,对疫苗安全性的讨论遵循贝叶斯定理,这是一种随着新证据的出现而改进对概率判断的程序。斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的方法的乐趣在于,他仅仅通过一些直观的假设和非常简单的数学就达到了这个深刻的真理。)”可知,斯皮格尔哈尔特教授通过用简单的数学分析现实生活中的问题来解释概率和统计。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty.His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. (现在,剑桥大学统计学教授大卫·斯皮格尔哈尔特爵士在《不确定性的艺术》一书中加入了这一类别。他的新书将吸引的不仅仅是数学家,因为它的主题是普遍的:如何分析机会、不确定性和风险)”可知,本文主要是为了介绍一本关于数学的新书。故选A。
Passage 2
(2024-2025学年四川省成都东部新区养马高级中学高二下学期6月月考英语试题)I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right?
I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch “Outlander” before I go, which is like “Game of Thrones” for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland? Not exactly.
A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great.
I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free — and not sticky — so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free?
All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles(弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent(意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now. I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, “Moderation in all things,” though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of “Outlander” has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free.
5. By “I always nod and agree” (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ .
A. she doesn’t think highly of TV either
B. she believes those who say they don’t watch TV
C. she should be polite to get the conversation to go on
D. she is not willing to admit that she watches television
6. The phrase “back to back” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ______ ”.
A. from morning till night B. one after another without a break
C. looking at the opposite direction D. leaning against the back of the couch
7. The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, most probably because ______ .
A. she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks
B. the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland
C. the television series was no more attractive than the book
D. she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV
8. What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5?
A. Reading is active while watching TV is passive.
B. Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t.
C. Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t.
D. Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it.
【答案】5. A 6. B 7. D 8. A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了阅读与看电视的不同体验及对人的影响。
5. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right?(我知道有些人说他们不看电视,我总是点头表示同意。阅读需要智力,而电视仅仅是娱乐,对吗?)”可知,作者通过“总是点头同意”暗示自己也不看好电视。故选A。
6. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed.(我back to back看了第一集四小时长的剧集。当我从沙发上站起来时,我感到不舒服,这不仅仅是因为我不经意地吃了饼干、爆米花和花生酱三明治。外面很黑,我感到很惭愧)”可知,作者连续不断地看了四小时的剧集,直到天黑都没有发现。因此,“back to back”在此处的意思是“一个接一个,不间断地”。与选项B“one after another without a break (一个接一个不间断)”一致。故选B。
7. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free? (为什么我感觉好多了,而且没有负罪感呢?)”以及第五段中“All the research says reading a book is good for you.(所有的研究都表明读书对你有好处)”可知,作者在阅读《朋友》后感觉更好,没有负罪感,是因为她认为阅读比看电视更有价值。故选D。
8. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away.(我们的大脑必须努力将页面上的黑色曲线翻译成单词,然后解释这些单词的含义和意图。当一个角色被描述为棕色头发的高个子时,读者会自己想象出她的样子。电视把所有的想象力都带走了)”可知,从第五段介绍的所有研究中可以得出:阅读是主动的,而看电视是被动的。故选A。

Passage 5
(安徽省合肥一六八中学2024-2025学年高二上学期期中英语试题)TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been known for its viral dance videos and pop music. 1 Google data showed nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches.
“Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok’s powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most,” said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic.
Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. 2 “All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly,” said Dana.
3 “On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt,” said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can’t capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks.
Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. 4 Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. “Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations,” she added.
Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. 5 Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos.
“Even if people aren’t interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches,” Sheares told ABC News.
A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google.
B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants.
C. TikTok’s funny videos also make some kids addicted.
D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits.
E. But TikTok’s personalized videos helped her out of the situation.
F. Being able to see scenes of real people also makes Dana feel trust in them.
G. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines among young people.
【答案】1. G 2. E 3. F 4. A 5. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了TikTok作为搜索引擎在年轻人中的流行,与传统搜索引擎如谷歌相比的优势,以及年轻人对TikTok和谷歌的不同使用偏好。
1. 上文“TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been known for its viral dance videos and pop music. (TikTok由中国字节跳动公司所有,因其走红的舞蹈视频和流行音乐而闻名。)”介绍了TikTok的特点,下文“Google data showed nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches. (谷歌数据显示,近40%出生于1997年至2012年的人更喜欢使用TikTok进行在线搜索。)”说明TikTok在年轻人中作为搜索引擎很受欢迎。所以空白处应填的内容应能体现出TikTok的这一变化或地位。选项G“现在,它已经成为年轻人中最大的搜索引擎之一”正好说明了这一点,承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
2. 上文“Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. (Dana说她一直注意力集中时间很短。当她使用传统搜索引擎时,她总是在文字海洋中迷失方向。)”说明Dana在使用传统搜索引擎时遇到了困难,下文“All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly. (我搜索的所有视频都出乎意料地符合我的口味,而且我能很快得到我想要的信息。)”说明TikTok的个性化视频解决了Dana使用传统搜索引擎时遇到的问题。所以空白处应填的句子应能体现出这一点。选项E“但TikTok的个性化视频帮她摆脱了困境”承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
3. 下文“On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt. (在TikTok上,你能看到人们吃了什么,他们感觉如何。)”说明TikTok能看到真实的人的场景。选项F“能够看到真实的人的场景也让Dana对他们产生了信任感”符合语境。故选F。
4. 上文“Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. (像Dana一样,许多Z世代的人倾向于在TikTok上搜索更轻松的话题。)”说明Z世代在TikTok上的搜索偏好,下文“Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. (来自美国的Izabell Bullard就是其中之一。这位19岁的年轻人说,她经常在TikTok上搜索名人新闻、食谱、时尚小贴士和娱乐推荐等内容。)”举例说明了Z世代在TikTok上搜索的内容。所以空白处应填的句子应能体现出Z世代在TikTok上搜索轻松话题的同时,对于更严肃或需要深入研究的话题,他们更倾向于使用其他搜索引擎,如谷歌。选项A“同时,他们把更严肃的话题留给谷歌”承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
5. 上文“Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant.

(谷歌也尝试了一个实验,让用户可以通过文字和照片进行搜索。)”举例说明其他搜索引擎也在尝试适应这种趋势。所以空白处应填的句子应能体现出这种趋势的影响或其他搜索引擎的应对。选项D“他组建了一个Z世代焦点小组来讨论他们的搜索习惯”提到了对Z世代搜索习惯的研究,这可以间接说明搜索引擎可能会根据这些研究结果来调整自己的策略以适应趋势,故选D。
Passage 6
(云南省玉溪市2024-2025学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题)Inspired by IShowSpeed’s captivating travel streams, a wave of young enthusiasts is now eager to capture their own travel adventures on video. Creating a travel video is not just about filming scenic spots. 6 Here are some practical tips to help you craft (构思) an impressive work.
●Craft your story
Firstly, prioritize storytelling when shooting. 7 Instead, define a clear story for your video. For instance, if you visit a stunning beach in Bali, your story could revolve around your journey there, the moment of arrival, and conclude with a breathtaking beach sunset. Once you have a rough outline, shoot footage (镜头) that goes well with each part of the story. Pay attention to details during shooting, like the unique expressions of local people or the feature of special architecture, which can add vividness to your story.
● 8
Whether through smooth visual transitions or a casual vlog-style delivery, a well-thought-out flow will attract your audience and keep them engaged. Experiment with different shot types, such as wide-angle shots to showcase the grand scenery and close-ups to highlight small but meaningful items.
●Use music to structure your video
Let the music guide your video’s structure. Don’t just add a piece of music randomly. 9 This simple technique can instantly boost the professionalism of your video, transforming an amateur-looking production into a polished piece.
Additionally, use sound effects sparingly to enhance the atmosphere. When you are shooting the beach, how could you make the beach appealing? 10 With these tips, you’re well on your way to creating an amazing travel video.
With these tips in mind, you’re well on your way to creating a travel video that not only documents your adventures but also shares your unique perspective with the world.
A. Focus on the flow.
B. Choose a surprising ending.
C. Select a song that expresses the overall mood.
D. Avoid the common mistake of random filming.

F. It’s also about crafting a narrative that resonates with viewers.

8. 根据该段内容“Whether through smooth visual transitions or a casual vlog-style delivery, a well-thought-out flow will attract your audience and keep them engaged.(无论是通过顺畅的视觉转场还是休闲的视频博客风格呈现,精心设计的视频节奏会吸引观众并让他们保持关注)”可知该段主要围绕视频节奏展开,A选项“关注视频节奏”准确概括了段落主旨,适合作为小标题,故选A。
