By 1928, the rest of the world did, too. At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well-known painter. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t happy. New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now those ideas were drying up. O’Keeffe felt like she needed a change. She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister. The wide open space had thrilled her. “Maybe I should go back,” she thought. In April of 1929, O’Keeffe packed her bags. The wide open space of New Mexico drew O’Keeffe in. She spent hours just watching the sky change. Because the light was so clear, she felt like she could see for the first time. The beauty of the land renewed her. She couldn’t wait to start painting. Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布). The colors of the desert inspired O’Keeffe. As a result, she made new choices in her artwork. “The color up there is different,” she explained. She loved the dusty blues and greens. That August, O’Keeffe went home to New York. It was the start of a pattern. Each spring, she traveled to New Mexico to paint. These trips restored her spirit. Then, in the fall, she would return to New York. There, she showed her work. Each time O’Keeffe visited New Mexico, she explored a little more. The bleached animal bones and skulls that O’Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty. The bones didn’t mean death to O’Keeffe. To her, they showed the lasting beauty of the desert. The landscapes, clear light, and bright colors also spoke to her. She often painted close-ups of the rocks and mountains. Later, she began to travel more in search of new ideas. However, she always came back to New Mexico. As O’Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s. When she died at the age of 98, Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert. Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life. 【译文欣赏】 乔治亚·奥基夫一直认为自己是一名艺术家。到 1928 年，整个世界也这么认为。41 岁时，她定居在纽约市，并成为了一名知名的画家。然而，奥基夫并不开心。纽约为她提供了近十年的创作灵感。如今这些灵感已经逐渐枯竭。奥基夫觉得自己需要做出改变。1917 年，她和姐姐一起去了新墨西哥州。那片广阔的空旷之地令她感到兴奋。“也许我应该回去一趟吧，”她心想。1929 年 4 月，奥基夫收拾好行李。 新墨西哥那广阔的开阔地带吸引了奥基夫。她会花好几个小时只是静静地看着天空的变化。因为光线如此清晰，她感觉自己仿佛第一次看到了这一切的美。这片土地的美丽重新给了她力量。她迫不及待地想要开始作画。牛和马的头骨以及沙漠中的花朵充斥着她的画布。沙漠的颜色激发了奥基夫的灵感。因此，她在自己的作品中做出了新的选择。“那里的色彩是不一样的”，她解释道。她喜欢那尘土般的蓝色和绿色。 那年八月，奥基夫回到了纽约。这标志着一种模式的开始。每年春天，她都会前往新墨西哥州作画。这些旅行让她重振了精神。然后，在秋天，她会回到纽约。在那里，她展示自己的作品。每次奥基夫访问新墨西哥州时，她都会探索得更多一些。 奥基夫发现的那些漂白的动物骨头和头骨令她兴奋不已，因为她能看到它们独特的美。对奥基夫来说，这些骨头并不意味着死亡。对她而言，它们展现了沙漠的永恒之美。那里的风景、清晰的光线和鲜艳的色彩也打动了她。她经常画岩石和山脉的特写。后来，她开始更多地四处游历，以寻找新的灵感。然而，她总是回到新墨西哥州。 随着奥基夫年龄的增长，她的视力开始衰退。但奥基夫并没有打算放弃。她的朋友胡安·汉密尔顿帮助她学习水彩画。他还教她雕塑。因此，直到 90 多岁，她仍在创作艺术。当她 98 岁去世时，汉密尔顿将她的骨灰撒在了沙漠里。她的遗体成为了这片曾影响她的艺术和生活的土地的一部分。 【词汇积累】 thrill [θrɪl] v.使（某人）非常兴奋；非常激动 renew [rɪˈnjuː] v.使重获新生 skull [skʌl] n. 颅骨；头骨 inspire[ɪnˈspaɪə(r)] v.激励；鼓舞 bleached [bliːtʃt] adj.变白的；漂白了的 lasting [ˈlɑːstɪŋ] adj.持久的；耐久的 sculpt [skʌlpt] v.造型；雕刻 sprinkle [ˈsprɪŋk(ə)l] v.撒；洒 【知识拓展】 奥基夫发现的那些漂白的动物骨头和头骨令她兴奋不已，因为她能看到它们独特的美。对奥基夫来说，这些骨头并不意味着死亡。对她而言，它们展现了沙漠的永恒之美。那里的风景、清晰的光线和鲜艳的色彩也打动了她。她经常画岩石和山脉的特写。后来，她开始更多地四处游历，以寻找新的灵感。然而，她总是回到新墨西哥州。 【词汇延伸】 dry up  蒸发、排干或切断供应而消失；逐渐失去活力而枯萎或死亡 in search of 试图寻找或寻求 高考真题链接 （2022·上海·阅读理解A篇）Contemporary artist Nick Smith creates pixelated (像素化的) works with hand placed colour-chips, synonymous with colour swatches (色块), cleverly combining text and image to create interesting and fascinating collaged (拼贴的) works. With a previous career in Interior Design spanning 11 years, Nick references his concept design background throughout his work, reworking the design aesthetic using unique colour swatches in hand-made collages, placing his work firmly in the fine art category. From his first collage experiment back in 2011 of Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’, when he assembled a tessellation (镶嵌技术) of swatches as a challenge, this eventually inspired his career as an artist and determined his unique style he is now known for. The multi-layered element of his work, which marries image and word, allows Nick to explore complex art-historical concepts. The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work. This additional element of text, placed under the empty space of each swatch, creates either complimentary or subversive meanings. Nick deliberately leaves these word/image constructions open to viewer interpretation, sparking new debates and meanings. Each P-series, such as Psycolourgy 2015, Purgatory 2019, explores complicatedly researched concepts, which are always the crucial starting point for each new series of work. Producing large-scale works to micro-chip collages, and multiple sell out print editions, Nick continues to develop his popular and recognisable art. PSYCOLOURGY — January 2015 Lawrence Alkin Gallery, London Smith’s debut solo exhibition with Lawrence Alkin Gallery in Soho, London, launched his unique visual reworking of classic paintings from the 20th Century canon. Universally known works, including David Hockney’s ‘The Bigger Splash’, Andy Warhol’s ‘Soup Cans’ and Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ were all recast, creating original collages that enquire ideas of depiction, digitalisation and recognition. A sell out show, with numerous successful subsequent print releases, Psycolourgy forged Smith’s path to a place among Britain’s notable contemporary artists. PURGATORY — December 2019 Context, Art Miami Purgatory is a shiny, sticky, glossy exploration of our societies attitude and approach to our excess, addictions and desires. Excerpts from Dante’s Purgatory are woven through colourful works depicting popular covetable consumables, creating symbolic representations of the seven sins. Dante explores possible penance (忏悔) for our earthly suffering leading to spiritual growth.The results of these pairings offer a humorous, nostalgic and subversive opportunity to question our choices, our history and our future. 56．What made Nick launch his art career? A．His deep love of fascinating collaged works. B．His first collage work Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’. C．The challenge of piecing a tessellation of swatches. D．The collage experiment dating back to 2012. 57．Which of the following statements about the text Nick uses is true? A．His text contains concepts of art. B．His text is usually illustrative. C．His text can be read sequentially. D．His text elements are very simple. 58．What do we know about PSYCOLOURGY? A．It opened Smith’s unique visual reinvention of classic 21st-century paintings. B．David Hockney’s ‘Mona Lisa’ has been recreated by Lawrence Alkin Gallery. C．The original collages affirm the ideas of depiction, digitisation and recognition. D．It opened Smith’s path to becoming one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. 59．What is the topic of this passage? A．Some useful ways to create collaged works. B．The life of contemporary artist Nick Smith. C．Information about Psycolourgy and Purgatory. D．The introduction to Nick Smith’s works. 【答案】56．C 57．C 58．D 59．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了当代艺术家Nick Smith的创作风格和作品。 56．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“From his first collage experiment back in 2011 of Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’.when he assembled a tessellation of swatches as a challenge, this eventually inspired his career as an artist and determined his unique style he is now known for. (这是他在2011年第一次拼贴沃霍尔的作品《玛丽莲》。当他将色板镶嵌起来作为一项挑战时，这最终激发了他作为艺术家的职业生涯，并确定了他现在闻名的独特风格。)”可知，Nick 在2011年在沃霍尔的作品《玛丽莲》中进行了第一次拼贴实验，所以这并非是他对拼贴作品的热爱，而在这次拼贴实验中，他将色板镶嵌在一起作为挑战。故选C。 57．细节理解题。根据第三段的“The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work.(Nick Smith使用的文本通常是叙事性的，可以按顺序阅读，为作品添加另一个神秘和兴趣的元素。)”可知，Nick的作品文本时叙述性的，他的文本可以按顺序读。故选C。 58．细节理解题。根据第五段“A sell out show, with numerous successful subsequent print releases, Psycolourgy forged Smith’s path to a place among Britain’s notable contemporary artists.(一场售罄的展览，以及随后出版的血多成功的印刷版《心理学》，使得史密斯跻身英国著名当代艺术家之列。)”可知，《心理学》为史密斯开辟了通往英国著名当代艺术家之路。故选D。 59．主旨大意题。通读全文可知, 尤其是首段“Contemporary artist Nick Smith creates pixelated (像素化的) works with hand placed colour-chips, synonymous with colour swatches (色块), cleverly combining text and image to create interesting and fascinating collaged (拼贴的) works.(当代艺术家Nick Smith使用手工放置的色块创作像素化作品，这些色块与色彩样本同义，巧妙地将文字与图像结合，打造出有趣且迷人的拼贴作品。)”可知，首段介绍了当代艺术家Nick Smith将文字和图像结合起来，创作出有趣和发人深省的拼贴作品，接下来主要介绍了他的作品的设计理念，最后描述了他的两个系列作品：Psychology和Purgatory，所以文章主题是介绍Nick Smith的作品。故选D。 命题特点 主旨大意题考查“整体感知”能力：主旨大意题旨在考查考生对文章整体或段落大意的概括能力。不聚焦细节，而是要求提炼文章或段落的核心观点、主要内容，或概括作者的写作目的。 位置固定： 通常为第一题或最后一题。作为第一题是为了引导全文理解，作为最后一题是为了检验整体理解。关键词： 题干中常出现 main idea, mainly discuss, best title, purpose 等词。考查核心： 不是细节信息，而是文章的“中心思想”或“写作目的”。提问方式固定：常见设问如：What is the main idea of the passage?What does the passage mainly talk about?The purpose of the passage is to ______.Which of the following can best summarize the passage?覆盖全文或段落：题目可能针对全文主旨，也可能针对某段主旨（需注意题干限定，如“Paragraph 2 mainly discusses”）。 命题规律 主旨句常“藏”在关键位置： 全文主旨：多位于首段（开门见山）、尾段（总结升华），或首尾段呼应处；若文章为“问题-分析-解决”结构，主旨可能在“解决方法”部分。 段落主旨：多位于段首（总起句）或段尾（总结句），少数在段中（转折后引出核心）。 与文章结构强相关： 说明文/议论文：常通过“观点+论据”展开，主旨即核心观点； 记叙文：主旨常是故事传达的道理、情感，或对人物/事件的评价，需结合情节发展和结尾升华句判断。 避免“细节干扰”：正确选项需涵盖全文核心，而非某一细节（即使细节多次出现，若未贯穿全文，也非主旨）。 主旨大意题解题思维 1. 定位“主旨句”：优先读首尾段、各段首尾句，标记含“观点、总结、转折（but/however）”的句子，这类句子往往是主旨句的关键来源。 2. 串联“核心话题”：若无明显主旨句，需梳理全文高频出现的核心名词（或同义替换词），结合各段内容，总结这些内容围绕“什么话题”展开——核心话题+作者对话题的态度/观点，即为主旨。 3. 验证“全面性”：正确选项需覆盖全文主要内容（而非某一段细节），同时不超出文章讨论范围。 推理判断题干扰项特征 1. 以偏概全： 选项内容只是文章某个细节、例子或段落的观点，不能代表全文。 2. 范围过大：选项内容超出了文章讨论的范围，过于空泛。 3. 无中生有：选项中的部分信息或结论在原文中完全找不到依据，是编造出来的。 4. 过度推断：根据原文的某个细节进行了过度的、不合逻辑的延伸推断。 5. 正反混淆：选项表达的意思与作者的观点或原文事实完全相反。 6. 细节干扰： 选项中的信息在原文中确实存在，但它只是一个支撑性的论据或例子，而非主旨。 1．With a previous career in Interior Design spanning 11 years, Nick references his concept design background throughout his work, reworking the design aesthetic using unique colour swatches in hand-made collages, placing his work firmly in the fine art category. 抓标志：with复合结构 现在分词reworking, using, placing 判类型：伴随状语+主句+伴随状语+方式状语+结果状语 试翻译：凭借长达11年的室内设计生涯，尼克在整个创作中融入了他的概念设计背景，他使用手工拼贴中独特的色块来重新诠释设计美学，从而将他的作品牢牢定位在纯艺术范畴内。 2．The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work. 抓标志：关系代词which 判类型：主句(含有一个非限制性定语从句) 试翻译：所使用的文本通常是叙事性的，可以按顺序阅读，这为作品增添了又一层神秘感和趣味性。 ①spark new debates and meanings 引发新的辩论和意义 ②crucial starting point 关键的起点 ③ popular and recognisable art 受欢迎且辨识度高的艺术 ④debut solo exhibition 首次个人展览 ⑤universally known works 举世皆知的作品 ⑥enquire ideas 探究理念 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 295 文章主要讲述了科学家受云散射阳光的启发发现了一种新的光线弯曲技术及其应用。 Passage2 阅读理解 议论文 330 文章通过自动驾驶汽车事故，探讨科技依赖问题并主张理性使用科技。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 301 文章主要介绍了复旦大学团队研发的“光华一号”人形机器人可提供养老护理，能表情达意、辅助行动，适应个性化需求，引发了多国的关注。 Passage4 七选五 说明文 240 文章主要介绍虚拟现实技术在缓解锻炼枯燥、助力健身方面的作用及现状。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 251 文章通过对比不同时期的计算机技术，阐述了科技发展的迅速，重点讨论了人工智能的发展历程、现状及未来趋势，指出其既带来积极影响也存在消极后果，且随着技术进步，影响还将不断扩大。 Passage6 语法填空 说明文 262 文章主要讲述了传统书法艺术与现代数字技术相结合，为书法传承与创新带来新机遇。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 275 文章讲述作者通过亲身经历明白应该把技术提供给需要它的人，而不是只为了赚钱。 Passage8 完形填空 说明文 244 文章主要说明了杨皓然采用创新技术提高农业生产效率和节省劳动力。 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·四川成都·期末）Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter (散射) sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to improvements in many fields such as medical imaging and electronics cooling. Daniele Faccio at the University of Glasgow, UK, and his workmates say they are shocked that this type of light scattering wasn’t noticed before. It works on the same basis as clouds, snow and other white materials that absorb light: once photons (光子) hit the surface of such a material, they are scattered in all directions. “The light goes around and tries to get in,” says Faccio. “And eventually what happens is that it just gets reflected back because it can’t get in. This is this scattering.” To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while leaving thin tunnels (通路) within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered — just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. The researchers say their material improves light transmission much better than those without the same tunnels, and also allows it to be directed around curves. This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems. 1．What inspired the discovery of the technique? A．How light travels. B．How clouds scatter sunlight. C．The relevant studies. D．The features of white materials. 2．According to paragraph 4, what is the key to controlling the light scattering? A．The motion of the photons. B．The size of the material. C．The tunnels inside the material. D．The process of 3D printing. 3．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Future study in light-bending. B．Potential problems of medical imaging. C．Possible applications of this new technique. D．Experts’ opinions on the use of special materials. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To introduce a creative technique. B．To sing high praise for innovative spirits. C．To explain the principle of light scattering. D．To highlight the advantages of technology. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家受云散射阳光的启发发现了一种新的光线弯曲技术及其应用。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter sunlight. (科学家们发现了一种新的技术，可以使光线绕过角落弯曲，这一技术的灵感来自云散射阳光的方式。)”可知，是云散射阳光的方式启发了这项技术的发现。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while leaving thin tunnels within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered — just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. (为了复制这一过程，研究小组用一种特殊的白色材料3D打印了物体，同时在内部留下了细小的通道。当光线照射到这种材料上时，它会进入这些通道并被散射，就像光在雪或云上一样。然而，光子并没有随机地向各个方向散射，而是被材料引导回到通道中。研究小组利用了这一点，创造了一系列有组织地控制光线的物体。)”可知，控制光散射的关键是材料内部的通道。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems. (这种光线弯曲的方法可以利用一些特殊材料现有的通道，为医学成像提供新的方法。Faccio说，同样的方法也可以用来引导热量和中子，因此也可以用于一系列工程应用，如冷却系统。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是这种新技术的可能应用。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter sunlight. (科学家们发现了一种新的技术，可以使光线绕过角落弯曲，这一技术的灵感来自云散射阳光的方式。)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家受云散射阳光的启发发现了一种新的光线弯曲技术及其应用，因此文章的目的是介绍一种创造性的技术。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·吉林四平·期末）Last summer, my tech-fan cousin Alex bought an advanced self-driving car. One misty evening, as we drove on a narrow and winding cliff-side road, Alex, full of confidence, turned on the self-driving mode. At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong. Instead of braking, the car sped towards the deer. Alex, realizing the danger at the last second, tried to reach for the steering wheel, but it was too late. The car crashed into the deer, and we were shaken hard. Surprisingly, the deer ran into the woods, unhurt. We sat in the damaged car, shocked. This accident made me reflect on technology’s issues. In healthcare, AI robots, sometimes, for speed, misread symptoms, causing incorrect diagnoses. In education, speed-focused AI graders may score essays by keywords, missing emotional depth in student stories-like a child writing of sadness, whose words become data, not cries for sympathy. In other words, AI prioritizes speed over correct diagnosis or students’ emotional expressions. Philosopher Sherry Turkle’s words make sense - “We’re sacrificing exactness and sympathy for efficiency.” But this doesn’t mean we should reject technology. We should use it carefully and wisely. Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn’t replace his skills, technology should help our judgment, not take over. Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion, and compare it with their own knowledge. Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights, and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching. That night, standing by the broken car, I realized that technology, for all its power, depends on us. Over-reliance on it weakens our ability to adapt and think. In the end, we, not machines, should shape the future. 1．How did the author feel during the drive before the accident? A．Anxious. B．Tired. C．Curious. D．Dizzy. 2．What resulted in the accident of the self-driving car? A．The author’s scream. B．The high speed of the deer. C．Alex’s bad physical conditions. D．The car’s sensor failure and Alex’s inattention. 3．What does the underlined word “sacrificing” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Taking on. B．Giving up. C．Focusing on. D．Making up. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．People will depend on AI more and more. B．AI technology is of significance in the future. C．People should use technology carefully and wisely. D．AI will take over humans some day. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过自动驾驶汽车事故，探讨科技依赖问题并主张理性使用科技。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. (当时，我紧张极了，双手紧紧抓着扶手，而Alex却漫不经心地刷着社交媒体，完全无视愈发危险的路况。)”可知，事故发生前作者因担忧潜在危险而紧张。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong. (当时，我紧张极了，双手紧紧抓着扶手，而Alex却漫不经心地刷着社交媒体，完全无视愈发危险的路况。突然，一只体型健壮的鹿出现在车灯照射的范围内。就在这千钧一发之际，汽车那此前一直未被察觉地出现故障的传感器彻底失灵了。)”可知，事故的直接原因是传感器故障与驾驶者分心。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据第三段中“In healthcare, AI robots, sometimes, for speed, misread symptoms, causing incorrect diagnoses. In education, speed-focused AI graders may score essays by keywords, missing emotional depth in student stories-like a child writing of sadness, whose words become data, not cries for sympathy. (在医疗保健领域，人工智能机器人有时会为了速度而误读症状，导致错误的诊断。在教育领域，那些以速度为导向的人工智能评分系统可能仅通过关键词来评判作文，从而忽略了学生故事中的情感深度一比如一个孩子写下关于悲伤的内容时，其文字在AI眼中只是数据，而非渴望共鸣的呼喊。)”可知，AI在医疗和教育中优先速度而非正确性，并且也会忽略情感。所以画线词意为“牺牲”，与giving up意思相近。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第四段中“We should use it carefully and wisely. Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn’t replace his skills, technology should help our judgment, not take over. Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion, and compare it with their own knowledge. Teachers can use Al technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights, and not to let algorithms control teaching. (我们应审慎且明智地使用技术。正如罗盘能辅助航海者导航却无法替代其航海技能一样，技术应当辅助我们的判断力，而非取而代之。医生可将人工智能技术视为辅助意见，并将其与自身专业知识相互印证；教师则可借助人工智能分析学生数据，结合自身洞察调整教学策略，而非任由算法主导教学过程。)”可知，该段通过类比强调技术需服务于人类判断，而非主导决策，我们应该谨慎而明智地使用技术。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·贵州六盘水·期末）Within the next 3-5 years, advanced humanoid robots will transform elderly care by providing both physical support and emotional companionship. Professor Liu Lizheng of Fudan University emphasizes that robots must achieve high functional intelligence and genuine emotional interaction to make old people feel cared for, not just assisted. The “Guanghua No.1” robot, developed by Liu’s team, has made it. Standing 165cm tall and weighing 62kg, it walks upright and expresses 21 distinct emotions, including joy, anger, and sorrow, through its animated face. This robot’s ability to understand emotions, which is important for building trust, comes from three years of research that combines body movement science, computer technology, and large data systems. It employs a system inspired by the human brain and a reward method similar to how the brain uses dopamine (多巴胺), allowing it to recognize and react to people’s feelings in a human-like way. Physically, the robot prioritizes safety and accuracy. Equipped with intelligent joints and a layered body-brain model, it performs delicate tasks like assisting seniors to rise from bed or move to the bathroom. Unlike household robots, caregiver robots assist fragile users. “If collision risks arise, it must carry out protective actions instantly,” Liu stresses. The robot continuously learns household routines through observation, adapting to individual preferences in cooking, cleaning, or mobility support. Global demand drives this innovation. Countries facing severe aging populations have shown strong interest in Guanghua No.1, which communicates in six languages. China currently leads this field, with multiple teams developing solutions for a shared challenge: sustainable elderly care. Robots like Guanghua No.1 represent more than technology — they offer tireless, personalized care combining physical assistance and emotional warmth. As the world’s population changes, these new technologies may change how we respect older people by giving all-day help without getting tired. 1．How does Guanghua No.1 express its emotions? A．Through animated facial expressions. B．By reacting based on dopamine-like rewards. C．Through upright walking and body gestures. D．By using a system inspired by computer technology. 2．Why does the author mention “household robots” in the passage 3? A．To give an example. B．To make a comparison. C．To introduce a new topic. D．To provide an explanation. 3．What can be inferred from the passage about the future of elderly care? A．Elderly people will no longer need human care. B．Robots will no longer need to learn household routines. C．Elderly people may receive 24-hour care from robots. D．Caregiver robots will fully replace household robots soon. 4．From which section of a magazine is this passage most probably taken? A．Health and Fitness. B．Science and Technology. C．Culture and History.

Besides, there is nothing more boring than endless running on a running machine. But what if there were a way to ease the boredom of exercise while still getting a good work out? 2 In the past, “playing video games was a sedentary (久坐不动的) experience,” says Jo Stauffer of the VR Health Institute, “but VR changes all of that”. He says that the room-scale experience engages your body in full. 3 In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves fitter. There are already many virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time. The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by tech companies. 4 They are making a new fitness machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. 5 A．This is where virtual reality (VR) may help. B．Many VR games are played while standing. C．The answer lies in the benefits of innovation. D．They want to take the whole experience into the gym. E．It takes time and effort, and it can be extremely boring.

Mobile phone s in the 1990s were big bricks with tiny green displays. 1 In a short period, they developed so quickly and became such a necessary part of our daily lives. No wonder it’s easy to forget how recent this technology is. The first digital computers were only invented about eight decades ago. 2 Folklore and historical attempts to build programmable devices reflect this longstanding ambition. And fiction is filled with the possibilities of intelligent machines, imagining their benefits and dangers. It’s no wonder that when Open AI released the first version of GPT, it quickly gained widespread attention, marking a significant step to ward realizing this ancient dream. Computers and artificial intelligence（AI） have developed greatly. 3 Because computer technology feels so familiar, it is easy to forget that all of these technologies we interact with today are very recent innovations and that the most profound changes are yet to come. AI has already changed what we see, what we know, and what we do. 4 On the contrary, particularly over the course of the last decade, the fundamental trends have accelerated（加速）：investments in AI technology have rapidly increased, and the doubling time of training computation has shortened to just six months. All major technological innovations lead to a range of positive and negative consequences. This is already true of AI. 5 A．However, we are still in the early stages of the development. B．In recent years, very few people have understood the field of AI. C．Humans have dreamed of creating thinking machines since ancient times. D．Two decades before that, the main storage for computers was huge cards. E．And there are no signs that these trends are hitting any limits anytime soon.

thought of herself as an artist. By 1928, the rest of the world did, too. At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well-known painter. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t happy. New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now those ideas were drying up. O’Keeffe felt like she needed a change. She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister. The wide open space had thrilled her. “Maybe I should go back,” she thought. In April of 1929, O’Keeffe packed her bags. The wide open space of New Mexico drew O’Keeffe in. She spent hours just watching the sky change. Because the light was so clear, she felt like she could see for the first time. The beauty of the land renewed her. She couldn’t wait to start painting. Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布). The colors of the desert inspired O’Keeffe. As a result, she made new choices in her artwork. “The color up there is different,” she explained. She loved the dusty blues and greens. That August, O’Keeffe went home to New York. It was the start of a pattern. Each spring, she traveled to New Mexico to paint. These trips restored her spirit. Then, in the fall, she would return to New York. There, she showed her work. Each time O’Keeffe visited New Mexico, she explored a little more. The bleached animal bones and skulls that O’Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty. The bones didn’t mean death to O’Keeffe. To her, they showed the lasting beauty of the desert. The landscapes, clear light, and bright colors also spoke to her. She often painted close-ups of the rocks and mountains. Later, she began to travel more in search of new ideas. However, she always came back to New Mexico. As O’Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s. When she died at the age of 98, Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert. Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life. 【译文欣赏】 乔治亚·奥基夫一直认为自己是一名艺术家。到 1928 年，整个世界也这么认为。41 岁时，她定居在纽约市，并成为了一名知名的画家。然而，奥基夫并不开心。纽约为她提供了近十年的创作灵感。如今这些灵感已经逐渐枯竭。奥基夫觉得自己需要做出改变。1917 年，她和姐姐一起去了新墨西哥州。那片广阔的空旷之地令她感到兴奋。“也许我应该回去一趟吧，”她心想。1929 年 4 月，奥基夫收拾好行李。 新墨西哥那广阔的开阔地带吸引了奥基夫。她会花好几个小时只是静静地看着天空的变化。因为光线如此清晰，她感觉自己仿佛第一次看到了这一切的美。这片土地的美丽重新给了她力量。她迫不及待地想要开始作画。牛和马的头骨以及沙漠中的花朵充斥着她的画布。沙漠的颜色激发了奥基夫的灵感。因此，她在自己的作品中做出了新的选择。“那里的色彩是不一样的”，她解释道。她喜欢那尘土般的蓝色和绿色。 那年八月，奥基夫回到了纽约。这标志着一种模式的开始。每年春天，她都会前往新墨西哥州作画。这些旅行让她重振了精神。然后，在秋天，她会回到纽约。在那里，她展示自己的作品。每次奥基夫访问新墨西哥州时，她都会探索得更多一些。 奥基夫发现的那些漂白的动物骨头和头骨令她兴奋不已，因为她能看到它们独特的美。对奥基夫来说，这些骨头并不意味着死亡。对她而言，它们展现了沙漠的永恒之美。那里的风景、清晰的光线和鲜艳的色彩也打动了她。她经常画岩石和山脉的特写。后来，她开始更多地四处游历，以寻找新的灵感。然而，她总是回到新墨西哥州。 随着奥基夫年龄的增长，她的视力开始衰退。但奥基夫并没有打算放弃。她的朋友胡安·汉密尔顿帮助她学习水彩画。他还教她雕塑。因此，直到 90 多岁，她仍在创作艺术。当她 98 岁去世时，汉密尔顿将她的骨灰撒在了沙漠里。她的遗体成为了这片曾影响她的艺术和生活的土地的一部分。 【词汇积累】 thrill [θrɪl] v.使（某人）非常兴奋；非常激动 renew [rɪˈnjuː] v.使重获新生 skull [skʌl] n. 颅骨；头骨 inspire[ɪnˈspaɪə(r)] v.激励；鼓舞 bleached [bliːtʃt] adj.变白的；漂白了的 lasting [ˈlɑːstɪŋ] adj.持久的；耐久的 sculpt [skʌlpt] v.造型；雕刻 sprinkle [ˈsprɪŋk(ə)l] v.撒；洒 【知识拓展】 奥基夫发现的那些漂白的动物骨头和头骨令她兴奋不已，因为她能看到它们独特的美。对奥基夫来说，这些骨头并不意味着死亡。对她而言，它们展现了沙漠的永恒之美。那里的风景、清晰的光线和鲜艳的色彩也打动了她。她经常画岩石和山脉的特写。后来，她开始更多地四处游历，以寻找新的灵感。然而，她总是回到新墨西哥州。 【词汇延伸】 dry up  蒸发、排干或切断供应而消失；逐渐失去活力而枯萎或死亡 in search of 试图寻找或寻求 高考真题链接 （2022·上海·阅读理解A篇）Contemporary artist Nick Smith creates pixelated (像素化的) works with hand placed colour-chips, synonymous with colour swatches (色块), cleverly combining text and image to create interesting and fascinating collaged (拼贴的) works. With a previous career in Interior Design spanning 11 years, Nick references his concept design background throughout his work, reworking the design aesthetic using unique colour swatches in hand-made collages, placing his work firmly in the fine art category. From his first collage experiment back in 2011 of Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’, when he assembled a tessellation (镶嵌技术) of swatches as a challenge, this eventually inspired his career as an artist and determined his unique style he is now known for. The multi-layered element of his work, which marries image and word, allows Nick to explore complex art-historical concepts. The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work. This additional element of text, placed under the empty space of each swatch, creates either complimentary or subversive meanings. Nick deliberately leaves these word/image constructions open to viewer interpretation, sparking new debates and meanings. Each P-series, such as Psycolourgy 2015, Purgatory 2019, explores complicatedly researched concepts, which are always the crucial starting point for each new series of work. Producing large-scale works to micro-chip collages, and multiple sell out print editions, Nick continues to develop his popular and recognisable art. PSYCOLOURGY — January 2015 Lawrence Alkin Gallery, London Smith’s debut solo exhibition with Lawrence Alkin Gallery in Soho, London, launched his unique visual reworking of classic paintings from the 20th Century canon. Universally known works, including David Hockney’s ‘The Bigger Splash’, Andy Warhol’s ‘Soup Cans’ and Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ were all recast, creating original collages that enquire ideas of depiction, digitalisation and recognition. A sell out show, with numerous successful subsequent print releases, Psycolourgy forged Smith’s path to a place among Britain’s notable contemporary artists. PURGATORY — December 2019 Context, Art Miami Purgatory is a shiny, sticky, glossy exploration of our societies attitude and approach to our excess, addictions and desires. Excerpts from Dante’s Purgatory are woven through colourful works depicting popular covetable consumables, creating symbolic representations of the seven sins. Dante explores possible penance (忏悔) for our earthly suffering leading to spiritual growth.The results of these pairings offer a humorous, nostalgic and subversive opportunity to question our choices, our history and our future. 56．What made Nick launch his art career? A．His deep love of fascinating collaged works. B．His first collage work Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’. C．The challenge of piecing a tessellation of swatches. D．The collage experiment dating back to 2012. 57．Which of the following statements about the text Nick uses is true? A．His text contains concepts of art. B．His text is usually illustrative. C．His text can be read sequentially. D．His text elements are very simple. 58．What do we know about PSYCOLOURGY? A．It opened Smith’s unique visual reinvention of classic 21st-century paintings. B．David Hockney’s ‘Mona Lisa’ has been recreated by Lawrence Alkin Gallery. C．The original collages affirm the ideas of depiction, digitisation and recognition. D．It opened Smith’s path to becoming one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. 59．What is the topic of this passage? A．Some useful ways to create collaged works. B．The life of contemporary artist Nick Smith. C．Information about Psycolourgy and Purgatory. D．The introduction to Nick Smith’s works. 命题特点 主旨大意题考查“整体感知”能力：主旨大意题旨在考查考生对文章整体或段落大意的概括能力。不聚焦细节，而是要求提炼文章或段落的核心观点、主要内容，或概括作者的写作目的。 位置固定： 通常为第一题或最后一题。作为第一题是为了引导全文理解，作为最后一题是为了检验整体理解。关键词： 题干中常出现 main idea, mainly discuss, best title, purpose 等词。考查核心： 不是细节信息，而是文章的“中心思想”或“写作目的”。提问方式固定：常见设问如：What is the main idea of the passage?What does the passage mainly talk about?The purpose of the passage is to ______.Which of the following can best summarize the passage?覆盖全文或段落：题目可能针对全文主旨，也可能针对某段主旨（需注意题干限定，如“Paragraph 2 mainly discusses”）。 命题规律 主旨句常“藏”在关键位置： 全文主旨：多位于首段（开门见山）、尾段（总结升华），或首尾段呼应处；若文章为“问题-分析-解决”结构，主旨可能在“解决方法”部分。 段落主旨：多位于段首（总起句）或段尾（总结句），少数在段中（转折后引出核心）。 与文章结构强相关： 说明文/议论文：常通过“观点+论据”展开，主旨即核心观点； 记叙文：主旨常是故事传达的道理、情感，或对人物/事件的评价，需结合情节发展和结尾升华句判断。 避免“细节干扰”：正确选项需涵盖全文核心，而非某一细节（即使细节多次出现，若未贯穿全文，也非主旨）。 主旨大意题解题思维 1. 定位“主旨句”：优先读首尾段、各段首尾句，标记含“观点、总结、转折（but/however）”的句子，这类句子往往是主旨句的关键来源。 2. 串联“核心话题”：若无明显主旨句，需梳理全文高频出现的核心名词（或同义替换词），结合各段内容，总结这些内容围绕“什么话题”展开——核心话题+作者对话题的态度/观点，即为主旨。 3. 验证“全面性”：正确选项需覆盖全文主要内容（而非某一段细节），同时不超出文章讨论范围。 推理判断题干扰项特征 1. 以偏概全： 选项内容只是文章某个细节、例子或段落的观点，不能代表全文。 2. 范围过大：选项内容超出了文章讨论的范围，过于空泛。 3. 无中生有：选项中的部分信息或结论在原文中完全找不到依据，是编造出来的。 4. 过度推断：根据原文的某个细节进行了过度的、不合逻辑的延伸推断。 5. 正反混淆：选项表达的意思与作者的观点或原文事实完全相反。 6. 细节干扰： 选项中的信息在原文中确实存在，但它只是一个支撑性的论据或例子，而非主旨。 1．With a previous career in Interior Design spanning 11 years, Nick references his concept design background throughout his work, reworking the design aesthetic using unique colour swatches in hand-made collages, placing his work firmly in the fine art category. 抓标志：with复合结构 现在分词reworking, using, placing 判类型：伴随状语+主句+伴随状语+方式状语+结果状语 试翻译：凭借长达11年的室内设计生涯，尼克在整个创作中融入了他的概念设计背景，他使用手工拼贴中独特的色块来重新诠释设计美学，从而将他的作品牢牢定位在纯艺术范畴内。 2．The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work. 抓标志：关系代词which 判类型：主句(含有一个非限制性定语从句) 试翻译：所使用的文本通常是叙事性的，可以按顺序阅读，这为作品增添了又一层神秘感和趣味性。 ①spark new debates and meanings 引发新的辩论和意义 ②crucial starting point 关键的起点 ③ popular and recognisable art 受欢迎且辨识度高的艺术 ④debut solo exhibition 首次个人展览 ⑤universally known works 举世皆知的作品 ⑥enquire ideas 探究理念 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 295 文章主要讲述了科学家受云散射阳光的启发发现了一种新的光线弯曲技术及其应用。 Passage2 阅读理解 议论文 330 文章通过自动驾驶汽车事故，探讨科技依赖问题并主张理性使用科技。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 301 文章主要介绍了复旦大学团队研发的“光华一号”人形机器人可提供养老护理，能表情达意、辅助行动，适应个性化需求，引发了多国的关注。 Passage4 七选五 说明文 240 文章主要介绍虚拟现实技术在缓解锻炼枯燥、助力健身方面的作用及现状。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 251 文章通过对比不同时期的计算机技术，阐述了科技发展的迅速，重点讨论了人工智能的发展历程、现状及未来趋势，指出其既带来积极影响也存在消极后果，且随着技术进步，影响还将不断扩大。 Passage6 语法填空 说明文 262 文章主要讲述了传统书法艺术与现代数字技术相结合，为书法传承与创新带来新机遇。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 275 文章讲述作者通过亲身经历明白应该把技术提供给需要它的人，而不是只为了赚钱。 Passage8 完形填空 说明文 244 文章主要说明了杨皓然采用创新技术提高农业生产效率和节省劳动力。 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·四川成都·期末）Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter (散射) sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to improvements in many fields such as medical imaging and electronics cooling. Daniele Faccio at the University of Glasgow, UK, and his workmates say they are shocked that this type of light scattering wasn’t noticed before. It works on the same basis as clouds, snow and other white materials that absorb light: once photons (光子) hit the surface of such a material, they are scattered in all directions. “The light goes around and tries to get in,” says Faccio. “And eventually what happens is that it just gets reflected back because it can’t get in. This is this scattering.” To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while leaving thin tunnels (通路) within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered — just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. The researchers say their material improves light transmission much better than those without the same tunnels, and also allows it to be directed around curves. This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems. 1．What inspired the discovery of the technique? A．How light travels. B．How clouds scatter sunlight. C．The relevant studies. D．The features of white materials. 2．According to paragraph 4, what is the key to controlling the light scattering? A．The motion of the photons. B．The size of the material. C．The tunnels inside the material. D．The process of 3D printing. 3．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Future study in light-bending. B．Potential problems of medical imaging. C．Possible applications of this new technique. D．Experts’ opinions on the use of special materials. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To introduce a creative technique. B．To sing high praise for innovative spirits. C．To explain the principle of light scattering. D．To highlight the advantages of technology. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·吉林四平·期末）Last summer, my tech-fan cousin Alex bought an advanced self-driving car. One misty evening, as we drove on a narrow and winding cliff-side road, Alex, full of confidence, turned on the self-driving mode. At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong. Instead of braking, the car sped towards the deer. Alex, realizing the danger at the last second, tried to reach for the steering wheel, but it was too late. The car crashed into the deer, and we were shaken hard. Surprisingly, the deer ran into the woods, unhurt. We sat in the damaged car, shocked. This accident made me reflect on technology’s issues. In healthcare, AI robots, sometimes, for speed, misread symptoms, causing incorrect diagnoses. In education, speed-focused AI graders may score essays by keywords, missing emotional depth in student stories-like a child writing of sadness, whose words become data, not cries for sympathy. In other words, AI prioritizes speed over correct diagnosis or students’ emotional expressions. Philosopher Sherry Turkle’s words make sense - “We’re sacrificing exactness and sympathy for efficiency.” But this doesn’t mean we should reject technology. We should use it carefully and wisely. Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn’t replace his skills, technology should help our judgment, not take over. Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion, and compare it with their own knowledge. Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights, and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching. That night, standing by the broken car, I realized that technology, for all its power, depends on us. Over-reliance on it weakens our ability to adapt and think. In the end, we, not machines, should shape the future. 1．How did the author feel during the drive before the accident? A．Anxious. B．Tired. C．Curious. D．Dizzy. 2．What resulted in the accident of the self-driving car? A．The author’s scream. B．The high speed of the deer. C．Alex’s bad physical conditions. D．The car’s sensor failure and Alex’s inattention. 3．What does the underlined word “sacrificing” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Taking on. B．Giving up. C．Focusing on. D．Making up. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．People will depend on AI more and more. B．AI technology is of significance in the future. C．People should use technology carefully and wisely. D．AI will take over humans some day. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·贵州六盘水·期末）Within the next 3-5 years, advanced humanoid robots will transform elderly care by providing both physical support and emotional companionship. Professor Liu Lizheng of Fudan University emphasizes that robots must achieve high functional intelligence and genuine emotional interaction to make old people feel cared for, not just assisted. The “Guanghua No.1” robot, developed by Liu’s team, has made it. Standing 165cm tall and weighing 62kg, it walks upright and expresses 21 distinct emotions, including joy, anger, and sorrow, through its animated face. This robot’s ability to understand emotions, which is important for building trust, comes from three years of research that combines body movement science, computer technology, and large data systems. It employs a system inspired by the human brain and a reward method similar to how the brain uses dopamine (多巴胺), allowing it to recognize and react to people’s feelings in a human-like way. Physically, the robot prioritizes safety and accuracy. Equipped with intelligent joints and a layered body-brain model, it performs delicate tasks like assisting seniors to rise from bed or move to the bathroom. Unlike household robots, caregiver robots assist fragile users. “If collision risks arise, it must carry out protective actions instantly,” Liu stresses. The robot continuously learns household routines through observation, adapting to individual preferences in cooking, cleaning, or mobility support. Global demand drives this innovation. Countries facing severe aging populations have shown strong interest in Guanghua No.1, which communicates in six languages. China currently leads this field, with multiple teams developing solutions for a shared challenge: sustainable elderly care. Robots like Guanghua No.1 represent more than technology — they offer tireless, personalized care combining physical assistance and emotional warmth. As the world’s population changes, these new technologies may change how we respect older people by giving all-day help without getting tired. 1．How does Guanghua No.1 express its emotions? A．Through animated facial expressions. B．By reacting based on dopamine-like rewards. C．Through upright walking and body gestures. D．By using a system inspired by computer technology. 2．Why does the author mention “household robots” in the passage 3? A．To give an example. B．To make a comparison. C．To introduce a new topic. D．To provide an explanation. 3．What can be inferred from the passage about the future of elderly care? A．Elderly people will no longer need human care. B．Robots will no longer need to learn household routines. C．Elderly people may receive 24-hour care from robots. D．Caregiver robots will fully replace household robots soon. 4．From which section of a magazine is this passage most probably taken? A．Health and Fitness. B．Science and Technology. C．Culture and History. D．Sports and Entertainment. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·广西来宾·期末）Going to the gym can be something that many people find a tiring experience. 1 Most weight-related exercises require 6–8 repetitions per set, performed consistently over three months to get results. Besides, there is nothing more boring than endless running on a running machine. But what if there were a way to ease the boredom of exercise while still getting a good work out? 2 In the past, “playing video games was a sedentary (久坐不动的) experience,” says Jo Stauffer of the VR Health Institute, “but VR changes all of that”. He says that the room-scale experience engages your body in full. 3 In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves fitter. There are already many virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time. The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by tech companies. 4 They are making a new fitness machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. 5 A．This is where virtual reality (VR) may help. B．Many VR games are played while standing. C．The answer lies in the benefits of innovation. D．They want to take the whole experience into the gym. E．It takes time and effort, and it can be extremely boring. F．VR games are becoming more and more popular among young people. G．But for those who are looking for a new way to exercise, it may be worth the investment. Passage5 （24-25高二下·河南南阳·期末）How rapidly the world has changed becomes clear when we consider how even quite recent computer technology feels ancient today. Mobile phone s in the 1990s were big bricks with tiny green displays. 1 In a short period, they developed so quickly and became such a necessary part of our daily lives. No wonder it’s easy to forget how recent this technology is. The first digital computers were only invented about eight decades ago. 2 Folklore and historical attempts to build programmable devices reflect this longstanding ambition. And fiction is filled with the possibilities of intelligent machines, imagining their benefits and dangers. It’s no wonder that when Open AI released the first version of GPT, it quickly gained widespread attention, marking a significant step to ward realizing this ancient dream. Computers and artificial intelligence（AI） have developed greatly. 3 Because computer technology feels so familiar, it is easy to forget that all of these technologies we interact with today are very recent innovations and that the most profound changes are yet to come. AI has already changed what we see, what we know, and what we do. 4 On the contrary, particularly over the course of the last decade, the fundamental trends have accelerated（加速）：investments in AI technology have rapidly increased, and the doubling time of training computation has shortened to just six months. All major technological innovations lead to a range of positive and negative consequences. This is already true of AI. 5 A．However, we are still in the early stages of the development. B．In recent years, very few people have understood the field of AI. C．Humans have dreamed of creating thinking machines since ancient times. D．Two decades before that, the main storage for computers was huge cards. E．And there are no signs that these trends are hitting any limits anytime soon. F．As this technology becomes more and more powerful, its effects will still increase. G．A technological development as powerful as this should be at the center of our attention.

It involves the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush, where every stroke (笔画) 1 (carry) profound cultural meanings. In a recent cultural event in Shanghai, ancient Chinese calligraphy met modern digital art. At the event, digital screens 2 (use) to display high-definition images of classic calligraphy masterpieces. Moreover, advanced interactive technology allowed visitors to 3 (virtual) “pick up” a digital brush and imitate the writing process of these masters on the screen. Sensors were installed (安装) to capture the pressure, speed, and trajectory (运动轨迹) of the “brush strokes,” providing real-. time feedback on the 4 (accurate) of the imitation. Li Ming, a young visitor, enjoyed the experience. “It’s hard to find a calligraphy teacher, 5 this digital tool lets me learn at my own pace with instant guidance. It’s 6 having a private tutor.” He said. This combination of tradition and technology not only attracts youth to the art but also offers new ways of preservation. By digitizing calligraphy works, they can be better protected from time and environmental damage, while online platforms globalise access, breaking 7 (geography) barriers. Moreover, artists now use AI 8 (craft) calligraphy-inspired works. Algorithms (算法) analyze classic structures and styles to generate new character combinations, 9 are then translated into digital or physical artworks. This enriches calligraphy’s creative forms, 10 (bring) fresh vitality (活力) into the ancient art in the digital era. Passage7 （24-25高二下·山东枣庄·阶段练习）When I was a teenager, my imagination about the future was filled with flying cars and robot assistants. However, my grandfather always said, “The future isn’t just about technology; it’s about how we 1 it to improve our lives. ” At that time, I didn’t fully understand his words.   Years later, while working in a tech company, I experienced a(n) 2 moment. Our team developed an AI system that could predict natural disasters with 90% accuracy. The system used satellite data and machine learning to 3 patterns in weather changes. Initially, everyone was excited. But soon, debates arose: Should this technology be 4 to the public freely, or should it be sold for profit?   One day, I met a farmer in a remote village. He told me his story: “Last year, a flood destroyed my crops. If I had known it was coming, I could have saved my family’s 5 .” His words struck me. I realized that technology should serve humanity, not just 6 wealth. We decided to provide the system to developing countries 7 .   This experience taught me that the future depends on our choices. Advanced technology like 8 and quantum computing will shape our world, but without 9 , they might widen social gaps. As the famous chef in my childhood book said, “Real progress 10 when we blend innovation with compassion. ”   Now, whenever I see students debating AI ethics or engineers designing eco-friendly cities, I feel 11 .

He 1 how hard his parents had to work using conventional farming methods, as well as how automation has 2 productivity and saved labor. Having finished university, Yang became a 3 farmer himself. However, unlike his parents, his experience has been very 4 ; he manages over 200,000 square meters of cotton fields and always 5 new ways to improve efficiency through technological 6 . In 2018, he saw the great business 7 of using drones (无人机) in farming and established his own company, which 8 13 drone operators, all of whom are post-90s workers like Yang himself. “We are like a big family, with members from different ethnic groups,” Yang said 9 . In peak growing season, they move their 10 in a skillful way over the fields while in the off-season, they train local farmers to 11 drones. To date, Yang’s team has trained hundreds of local farmers. “This will enable them to 12 new technologies, allowing them to 13 the advances in modern agriculture,” he said. Yang’s 14 does not end there. He has recently taken up a precision (精准) farming project, which uses drones to collect data for spectral analysis (光谱分析), and transmit real-time data on crop growth and soil moisture to the irrigation and fertilizer equipment for precision 15 . 1．A．recalled B．witnessed C．blamed D．assumed 2．A．integrated B．tackled C．generated D．boosted 3．A．cotton B．rice C．wheat D．sorghum 4．A．visible B．different C．complex D．multiple 5．A．transforms B．handles C．seeks D．adjusts 6．A．presentation B．extension C．interaction D．innovation 7．A．concept B．potential C．theory D．framework 8．A．employs B．attains C．entertains D．promotes 9．A．firmly B．willingly C．proudly D．gently 10．A．machines B．drones C．pumps D．switches 11．A．operate B．launch C．display D．update 12．A．resist B．gather C．spread D．acquire 13．A．keep in mind B．be engaged in C．come down with D．keep up with 14．A．dream B．genius C．insight D．theory 15．A．Communication B．industry C．agriculture D．tourism 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 26 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
