UNIT 4 Meeting the muse-【正禾一本通】2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修1同步课堂高效讲义教师用书（外研版）

As an animation technician, I'm constantly chasing inspiration.One day, while wandering through an art exhibition with a variety of abstract artworks on display, I was suddenly struck by a piece of wire art.The way the wires were arranged set my imagination in motion. It contrasted greatly with the digital­based trends in my field.I thought of folk tales passed down through generations.I was determined to bring these tales to life in a new way.I wanted to create innovative animations rather than the usual ones. A scene from a well­known folk tale came to my mind. I composed a storyboard, lighting up my creative process.What was once just an abstract idea in my head was now being crafted into a distinct animation.I used my skills at my fingertips, even though some techniques were unfamiliar.This journey of turning inspiration into innovation made me known as a creator who could bring out the best in old stories. Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas Step One　Lead­in If you were an artist, what kind of things or places would you turn to for inspiration? And how would these inspirations help you create your own works? As an artist, I'd seek inspiration from nature, urban environment, and human stories.These would fuel my creativity by offering colors, textures, narratives and moods to reinterpret into original pieces—blending observation with personal expression. Step Two　Read for the main idea Match the main idea with each section. Section 1 (开头语) A．This part focuses on a Chinese composer blending Chinese and Western music for universal expression.

If you could combine the creative inspirations of these three artists to create a new art form, what would it be like? Your presentation： I might create a multi­media performance.I could use story­inspired sculptures as the stage setting.Similar to Tan Dun, I would combine traditional Chinese music with modern beats to create a unique soundtrack.And following Yang Liping's lead in drawing from ethnic cultures, I would integrate traditional dance moves from various ethnic groups into a new dance routine. What inspires you? Every artist's wish is [1]to create something that expresses an idea．But where do artists get their ideas from? Who or what inspires them? Here we find out more about the influences① behind the successes of three very different artists. [1]动词不定式作表语，其中that expresses an idea为定语从句，修饰先行词something。 Florentijn Hofman, visual artist② Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch③ artist，[2]whose large sculptures④ are on display⑤ all over the world．One way for him to find inspiration⑥ is [3]turning to his children's toys．These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures, such as the famous Rubber Duck.A more recent work of his is the huge Floating⑦ Fish，[4]which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone⑧. [2]whose 引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词artist，关系代词whose在从句中作定语。 [3]动词­ing形式作表语。 [4]which 引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Floating Fish。 Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales⑨ [5]passed down through the generations．He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate⑩”．This story came to life⑪ for Hofman [6]when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there． [5]动词­ed形式作后置定语。 [6]when引导时间状语从句，其中how 引导宾语从句。 “During the walk and my stay here in the town, I saw the fish [7]being fed by people．You see also some fish [8]sculpted on the wall．” These sights set Hofman's idea for Floating Fish in motion⑫. [7]动词­ing形式的被动式作宾语补足语。 [8]动词­ed形式短语作宾语补足语。 Tan Dun, composer “There is no territory⑬ in the world of music.” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun.He is most widely known for composing⑭ music for the film Crouching⑮ Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. To listen to Tan's music is [9]to experience a mix of⑯ Chinese musical traditions and Western influences．Since his first opera⑰， Nine Songs, Tan Dun has been using a combination of⑱ Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories.[10]As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world. [9]动词不定式作表语。 [10]as 引导非限制性定语从句；主句中有so as to引导的目的状语。 Yang Liping, dancer Yang Liping's passion⑲ is dancing.After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance, she has been known as the “Peacock⑳ Princess㉑”．The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time [11]she spent in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province． [11]省略了that/which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the time，先行词在从句中作spent的宾语。 “I feel very grateful㉒ for the years in Xishuangbanna，” says Yang.“It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various ethnic㉓ groups...Our ethnic groups, especially the Dai people, admire the peacock.They think the peacock represents㉔ the beauty of nature.I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives me lots of inspiration.My dance comes from their traditional belief㉕ and aims to bring out㉖ the Dai women's beauty.” ①influence n．影响；有影响的人或事 ②visual adj.视觉的，视力的 visual artist 视觉艺术家 ③Dutch adj.荷兰的 ④sculpture n．雕像，雕塑作品 ⑤on display 展出，展览 ⑥inspiration

弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家，他创作的大型雕塑在世界各地进行展出。他的孩子们的玩具是他的一个灵感来源。霍夫曼从这些玩具身上得到启发，从而创作出动物形状的雕塑，比如著名的“大黄鸭”。他最近的新作是一条巨大的《浮鱼》，位于风景宜人的乌镇西栅景区内。 霍夫曼的作品《浮鱼》的灵感源自世代相传的中国民间故事。他对“鲤鱼跃龙门”的古老故事尤其感兴趣。当霍夫曼游览乌镇，看到当地居民的生活时，这个故事立马生动地浮现于他的脑海中。 “我住在镇上期间，散步的时候可以看到人们在喂鱼。你也可以看到墙上还有鱼形的浮雕。”这些画面让霍夫曼渐渐浮现出创作《浮鱼》的念头。 谭盾，作曲家 “音乐的世界没有边界。”中国作曲家谭盾这样说。他因为电影《卧虎藏龙》配乐，并为2008年北京奥运会创作音乐而广为人知。 欣赏谭盾的音乐，就是在感受中国音乐传统和西方影响的交融。从他的第一部歌剧《九歌》开始，谭盾一直在用中国音乐和来自世界各地的其他声音讲述故事。他曾说过，中国音乐要承载人文精神的“共同理念”，才能被世界认可。 杨丽萍，舞蹈家 杨丽萍热爱舞蹈。1986年，她凭借《雀之灵》在全国舞蹈大赛上折桂。此后，她成为家喻户晓的“孔雀公主”，她的许多著名舞蹈作品的灵感都来源于她在云南西双版纳度过的一段时光。 杨丽萍说：“我很感激在西双版纳的那些年，它让我有机会深入到各个民族的生活里面 ……我们的少数民族，尤其是傣族人民，特别喜爱孔雀。他们认为孔雀展现了自然之美。我特别喜欢傣族人的舞蹈风格，这给了我很多灵感。我的舞蹈源自他们的传统信仰，同时也致力于展现傣族女性的美。” inspire v．激发；鼓舞；赋予灵感[联想：inspiration n．灵感；启发灵感的人(或事物)→inspiring adj.鼓舞人心的；启发灵感的→inspired adj.有灵感的；受到鼓舞的]

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2025·辽宁点石联考高二上期中)One of the advantages of social media is that we get to see aspects of people's lives that can be rather surprising.In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden—and not­so­hidden—talents that are out there. Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co­workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day.Archive Gould, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library.Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside. Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he'd played the piano for years, but he'd never been able to showcase his talents.Therefore, on the first day on site, Gould sat down in his paint­stained work clothes to play for his workmates. “It was so heart­melting.I love classical music to begin with.Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched，” his workmate, Kerrie Bates, shared her reaction to Gould's performance.As for Gould, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano. The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views.And Gould came up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason why the video blew up is that I looked like a construction worker.No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it's nothing.” However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person's outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can.While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there's so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Archive Gould的建筑工人在工作期间利用休息时间弹奏钢琴，给同事们带来了惊喜和享受的故事，传递了不要以貌取人的道理。 1．What role does social media play according to the first paragraph? A．A platform for people to show talents. B．Means of communication and expression. C．Place for people to share common interest. D．A tool to remind us of some important things. 解析：选A。细节理解题。第一段提到社交媒体能让我们看到人们生活中令人惊讶的方面，一些分享的视频让我们看到各种隐藏或不那么隐藏的才华。这表明社交媒体成为了人们展示才华的平台。故选A。 2．How did Kerrie Bates react to Gould's performance? A．She considered it was incredible. B．She thought it held lasting artistic value. C．She found it was more accessible to workers. D．She believed it deserved a great deal of fame. 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段开头的描述：“太让人心动了。我本来就喜欢古典音乐。看到他弹得如此出色，我完全被触动了。”他的同事Kerrie Bates分享了她对Gould表演的反应。可知，Kerrie Bates认为Gould的表演令人难以置信，非常出色。故选A。 3．What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Reserved. B．Required. C．Convinced. D．Earned. 解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句“The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views.(这段表演被分享到了网上， notched up惊人的浏览量)”根据句意可知，画线短语意为“获得了”惊人的浏览量。故选D。 4．What does Gould's story convey? A．The early bird catches the worm. B．Never judge a book by its cover. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章提到Gould穿着沾满油漆的工作服在休息时间弹奏钢琴，他的同事们非常惊讶于他弹得如此出色。Gould认为视频走红的原因是他看起来像个建筑工人，没人期望一个建筑工人能演奏古典音乐。由此推知，Gould的故事传达了不要以貌取人的道理，人们不能仅仅根据外表来判断一个人的能力或才华。故选B。 B (2025·江西赣州高二上期末)Mel Taylor­Bessent has had a passion for reading and writing stories since she was a child.After doing a creative writing degree at university, she set up Little Star Writing—after­school creative writing clubs, which she ran for many years.She went on to interview hundreds of authors for her website, called Authorfy, before becoming a children's author herself.

is turning to his children's toys. ③He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”． ④To listen to Tan's music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences. ⑤Yang Liping's passion is dancing. 【我的感悟】 上述句子中①④句是不定式作表语，②⑤句是动词­ing形式作表语，③句是动词­ed形式作表语。 结论：非谓语动词可以在句中充当表语。 一、动词不定式作表语 1．当句子主语是表示“目的”“愿望”“梦想”“需求”“计划”“职责”等的名词时，如aim、purpose、goal、intention、wish、hope、dream、suggestion、plan、duty等，常用动词不定式作表语说明主语的内容。 The purpose of this reading club activity is to cultivate students' good habit of loving reading. 这次读书俱乐部活动的目的是培养学生热爱阅读的好习惯。 2．主语为what引导的名词性从句时，常用动词不定式作表语。 What the students expect from the school trip is to gain practical knowledge and broaden their horizons. 学生们对学校旅行的期望是获得实践知识并拓宽视野。 3．某些动词不定式作表语时，可用主动形式表示被动意义。 He is to blame for the incident. 他该因为这件事受到责备。 【温馨提示】　主语部分含有行为动词do时，作表语的不定式可省略to。 The only thing that she wants to do now is (to) go for a holiday. 现在她唯一想做的事就是去度假。 二、动词­ing形式作表语 作表语的动词­ing形式包括现在分词和动名词。 1．现在分词作表语表示主语所具有的特征，一般用来形容事或物本身具有的性质，常译为“令人 ……”。常见的作表语的现在分词有moving(令人感动的)、interesting(令人感兴趣的)、encouraging(令人鼓舞的)、boring(令人厌烦的)、surprising(令人吃惊的)、puzzling(令人困惑的)、amusing(令人发笑的)、astonishing(令人吃惊的)、embarrassing(令人尴尬的)、satisfying(令人满意的)等。 The progress Tom made in his math within this semester was astonishing. 汤姆在本学期数学成绩上取得的进步令人惊讶。 2．动名词作表语起名词的作用，表示主语的内涵。主语和表语在概念上必须对等(相同或类似)。主语一般只限于表示工作、任务(如job，duty，task，work)和精神态度(如wish，happiness)等的抽象名词。 My job is looking after the children. ＝Looking after the children is my job. 我的工作是照看这些孩子。 三、动词不定式作表语与动词­ing形式作表语的区别 动词不定式作表语，强调一次性的、具体的、将要发生的动作；动词­ing形式作表语，强调一般性的、抽象的、经常发生的动作。 ①His aim today is to climb the hill. 他今天的目标就是爬那座小山。(强调一次性的、具体的动作，并不是习惯) ②Her favorite activity is climbing the hill. 她最喜欢的活动是爬山。(强调这是一种经常性的行为习惯) 四、动词­ing形式作表语和现在进行时的区别 动词­ing形式作表语，说明主语的性质或情况，其内容在逻辑上等于主语的内容，主语多为事物；现在进行时，说明动作是由主语发出的，表示主语正在进行的动作。 ①His job is teaching the students to play the piano. 他的工作就是教学生弹钢琴。(动词­ing形式作表语) ②He is teaching the students to play the piano. 他正在教学生弹钢琴。(现在进行时) 五、动词­ed形式作表语 动词­ed形式作表语表示主语所处的状态，一般用来形容人的某种感觉或体会，常译为“(人)感到 ……的”或事物因动作而产生的结果状态。常见的作表语的动词­ed形式有worried(感到担心的)、interested(感兴趣的)、terrified(感到恐惧的)、puzzled(感到困惑的)、broken(破碎的)、completed(完成的)、built(建成的)等。 ①The audience was deeply moved by the touching performance. 观众被这场感人的表演深深打动。 ②The students were excited when they heard the news of the school trip. 学生们听到学校旅行的消息时感到很兴奋。 ③The health service is located in the main building. 医疗服务机构位于主楼上。 六、动词­ed形式作表语与被动语态的区别 动词­ed形式作表语，相当于一个形容词，表示主语的性质或状态，系动词既可以用be动词也可以是其他系动词(remain, keep, stay, seem, sound等)；被动语态就是表示一个具体的被动动作，系动词往往是be，也可以用get。 ①The window is closed. 窗子是关着的。(动词­ed形式作表语，表示主语的状态) ②The window was closed by Tom. 窗子被汤姆关上了。(被动语态) ————即学即练———— 用括号里单词的正确形式填空 ①What you have to do is to study (study) even harder to make preparations for your future. ②Her job is keeping (keep) the lecture hall as clean as possible. ③You must be patient and persistent if you are to succeed (succeed). ④She was disappointed (disappoint) that she didn't get the job she had applied for. ⑤Her greatest pleasure is helping

(fascinate).Everyone listened attentively. ⑧One of the most effective ways to reduce pressure is to talk (talk) about your thoughts with someone you trust. 用括号中所给词的适当形式填空 1．(2024·新高考全国Ⅰ卷) In cold weather, the structure stays closed (close) to protect the plants. 2．(2024·新高考全国Ⅱ卷) Chinese cultural elements commemorating (纪念) Tang Xianzu, who is known (know) as “the Shakespeare of Asia，” add an

Late in September 1942, the Japanese military transported over 1，800 British prisoners of war (POWs) from Hong Kong to Japan by ship.In the waters off Dongji Island, it was torpedoed (被鱼雷击中) by a US submarine.Fishermen from Zhoushan risked their lives to save 384 POWs.Fang was shocked.“How had we in China never heard of the Lisbon Maru? We know of the Titanic, but no one here ever mentioned the Lisbon Maru.” This mystery aroused Fang's curiosity, leading him to begin the search for the ship in 2016.During the journey, Fang learned of 94­year­old Lin Agen, the sole surviving fisherman to have participated in the rescue, and of a 98­year­old British soldier, Dennis Morley, who survived the ordeal.“It felt like a race against time．We had to document their stories before it was too late，” Fang says. Fang launched a search for more survivors and their families.He placed ads in British newspapers like The Sunday Times and The Guardian.“People thought I was crazy—‘Who even reads newspapers anymore？’ they said.But I knew that the elderly, like myself, still do，” Fang says.The campaign was a success, leading to BBC Radio 4 inviting him on a show, which in turn connected him with 380 POW families. On Aug 23, The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru premiered on Dongji Island, where the tragedy occurred.Fang wrote on his WeChat moments：“We finally showed the documentary on Dongji Island, the very place where our ancestors performed their heroic acts 82 years ago.I also received the honorary title of ‘Dongji Island Citizen’—a privilege I treasure deeply.” [语篇解读]本文为一篇新闻报道。短文讲述了导演兼制片人方励因制作纪录片《里斯本丸沉没》而广受关注的故事，并描述了他为记录历史、搜寻资料和传递英雄事迹所做出的努力。 1．Where could you find the passage?

According to James, Kits Cubed has reached more than 2，000 young people in Oakland so far.“York told me he's bad at science.He doesn't like it.I want to remove that thought, and replace it with ‘I'm good at science and I can be a scientist if I want to.That' s what I really want them to get out of the kits，” said James.

The focus on self­expression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook.A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting.2( ) Art journaling is a way to practice self­care.It encourages you to take a little time for yourself—even if it's just for 15 minutes a day.When you look back at what you've written or drawn, you can gain valuable view into the challenges in your life.The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece.3( ) Remember, it's just for you! Art journaling is completely customizable (可定制的) depending on your skills and interests.Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials.4( ) The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right books. 5( ) Size is one, if you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best.Art journals look great when you fill the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the way you like to work.Another factor to think about is the type of pages in the book.Since it's a good chance you'll be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting. A．Also, you become aware of your style. B．This way, you'll save not only your money, but also your nerves. C．But it doesn't have to include imagery that relates to your inner thoughts. D．Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they're comfortable with. E．There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book. F.But for those who are more visually­minded, an art journal is a great alternative. G．You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying about if it looks good. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何将绘画和写作相结合，创造出独具个人特色的艺术日记。 1．解析：选F。设空处承上启下。前一句提到典型的日记写作只涉及写作，后一句提到艺术日记有很多表达自我的方式，是很好的创造性输出方式，所以此处应选一个承上启下的句子，引出艺术日记这种表达方式。F 项“但对于那些更具视觉思维的人来说，艺术日记是一个很好的选择”起到了这样的作用，既与前文的写作方式形成对比，又引出了艺术日记。故选F。 2．解析：选C。设空处总结上文。前面指出艺术日记和素描本的区别，说素描本可能有艺术日记的元素，特别是绘画方面，C 项 “但它不一定包含与你内心想法相关的意象”，进一步阐述素描本与艺术日记在内容上的不同。故选 C。 3．解析：选G。设空处承上启下。前一句提到创作视觉日记的重点不是让每一页都成为杰作，后一句又说这只是为你自己，所以此处应说明创作时不必过于在意作品效果，享受创作过程即可。G 项“你只需享受创造的过程，而不必担心它看起来是否好看”符合语境。故选G。 4．解析：选D。设空处承上启下。前一句提到许多人选择使用混合媒介并用绘画和绘画材料装饰页面，后一句又说最重要的是选择合适的本子，所以此处应列举另一种选择方式。D 项“其他人则更喜欢坚持使用他们熟悉的一种媒介”提供了另一种选择，与前文提到的使用混合媒介形成对比。故选D。 5．解析：选E。设空处是段首句。上段末句提到在进行艺术创作时，最重要的是选择合适的本子。后两句分别提到了在选择日记本时要考虑的大小和页面类型等因素，所以此处应总结选择日记本时有很多需要考虑的因素。E 项“在选择日记本时有很多要考虑的因素”起到了总结概括的作用。故选E。 Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分，共15分) (2025·湖北宜昌高二上期中)Since its release, Black Myth: Wukong 1 (earn) praise from games both at home and abroad.2 (set) against the background of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, the game marks a breakthrough for the Chinese gaming industry. 3 Tang Monk and his disciples (徒弟) successfully obtained Buddhist scriptures (经书), Monkey King (Sun Wukong) was named Fighting Buddha and 4 (gradual) disappeared.The player, known as the Destined One, begins an epic journey 5 (uncover) the truth behind the legendary tale.

Based on the article, what do you think is the most important factor in defining art in the age of art­tech combination? Your presentation： In the age of art­tech combination, the most important factor in defining art might be the expression of thoughts and ideas.Also, the intention of the creator matters.If the creator uses technology to express something meaningful, then the work can be regarded as art, regardless of the tools used. ◎ ART & TECHNOLOGY Think “art”．What comes to your mind①？ Is it Greek② or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it's a dancing pattern of lights? The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds [1]when they are lit up③ at night．Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with④ it—literally⑤.They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns.Exhibits⑥ such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art? [1]when 引导时间状语从句。 [2]Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years.To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies.Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled⑦ as “artists” rather than⑧ “technicians⑨”．This means [3]that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things． [2]whatever相当于no matter what，引导让步状语。 [3]that 引导宾语从句。 Today, however, technological advances⑩ have led to a combination of art and technology.As a result, the art world is changing greatly.Now art is more accessible⑪ to us than ever before.Take for example⑫ one of China's most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival.[4]As this artwork is rarely on display ，people have sometimes queued⑬ up to⑭ six hours for a chance to see it.[5]Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing.Thanks to⑮ technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version⑯ of this painting.Three­dimensional (3D) animation⑰ means [6]that viewers can see the characters⑱ move around and interact with their surroundings⑲.They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime. [4]as 引导原因状语从句。 [5]once引导时间状语从句，也有表条件的意思。 [6]that 引导宾语从句。 The art­tech combination is also [7]changing our concepts⑳ of “art” and the “artist”．[8]Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation.[9]With new technological tools at our fingertips㉑, more and more people are exploring their creative sides.The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. [7]动词­ing形式作表语。 [8]not only置于句首引起的部分倒装句。 [9]with 复合结构作状语。 However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality㉒.Can a video of someone slicing a tomato [10]played in slow motion really be called “art”？ [10]动词-ed形式作后置定语。 Similarly, such developments are making the line㉓ between art and technology less distinct㉔.Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an “artist”？ And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? A recent project used technology and data in the same way [11]that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes．The end result, [12]printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting㉕” [13]created 347 years after the artist's death．These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time [14]when computers rather than humans create art． [11]that引导定语从句。 [12]动词­ed形式作状语。 [13]动词­ed形式作后置定语。 [14]when 引导定语从句。 [15]Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess㉖.But one thing is for sure㉗—[16]with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely㉘ expect the unexpected㉙.

Virtual reality changes how we view technology.Until now technology has always been something that we have viewed but never been truly immersed in (沉浸其中).Virtual reality has the power to change that.There will come a time when we sit on a VR chair or step inside a VR room, put on a VR device, and enter a totally different world.The technology is largely available already, so with further advances taking place we could be about to enter entirely different worlds. Today the obvious application of virtual reality is gaming but there are many more applications as well.In business, virtual reality could be used to improve communications.Many companies have to pay a lot for sending their team to different places.As worldwide business continues, it is increasingly important for teams in different areas of the world to work together.Although the video meeting solutions have been a success, they are just not as good as the real thing.Virtual reality can offer an experience as good as the real thing without any of the expense of travel. While the virtual reality technology is still being developed we are not far away from a truly Immersive experience.Within the next ten years，a solution will be in place, which will be so believable that people will be unable to tell the difference between it and reality.In time the cost will reduce as well, making it possible to have a VR experience in every home and business.

Jane was greatly impacted by her mother's story.When faced with her own personal challenges—losing her home and being nearly broke—Jane used her last bit of money to have an artist draw her children.At her home, the artist saw some of Jane's paintings, and offered her free art lessons.It was then that she discovered her unique talent for art, which led to a series of positive influences in her life, including a new career, new passions, and the inspiration for the Open Hearts Value. Every time Jane painted a heart, it was open, and when there were two or more, they were always connected.This distinctive image represents the Open Hearts Value, and was the beginning of her journey to encourage people to turn their personal challenges into an opportunity to help others. When Signet Jewelers, the world's largest retailer (零售商) of diamond jewelry, learned of this story, they approached her about creating a line of jewelry with the Open Hearts symbol.That business partnership sold billions of dollars of jewelry and started the charitable beginning of the Open Hearts Foundation.Jane's vision was to create a foundation that encouraged people to help others and provided immediate funding to small, new charities that shared the same values. What started as a cause marketing campaign has grown into a movement of like­minded people working together for the greater good.Over sixty charities have been supported by the Foundation and thousands of volunteers have been inspired to do what they can to help others through virtual and in­person volunteer experiences.

But as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly powerful in the last decade, forecasting agencies are now turning to machine learning for help. This is all welcome news for an industry worth about D|S2 trillion globally.Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry's carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions.Designers will produce more of what will actually sell—at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold.Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally. But designers often feel insecure about relying just on the data provided by AI.“A few years ago, there were big indicators on social media of yellow being a trend，” says Francesca Muston, vice president of a trend forecasting company.“And if you had followed completely the social media data gathered by AI models, yellow pieces would seem to be a good investment.But how many people are really going to wear a bright yellow coat? That's a brave fashion choice.” AI tools don't have their own aesthetic (审美的) viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people's desire for newness.“That's why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts，” says Muston.Dr Michal Koren, a researcher, says, “The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data­driven models become more accurate.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲人工智能正在时尚预测领域大显身手，不过由于它自身没有审美，所以它很难取代人类时尚预测专家。 8．What is the purpose of the notes taken by the experts? A．To report the news about Paris Fashion Week. B．To help them make fashion predictions. C．To compare different design methods. D．To collect information about designers. 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Their job is to detect emerging trends.Their notes will instantly be added to selected ‘trend forecasts’”可知，他们的任务是发现新兴趋势，并将笔记添加到选定的“趋势预测”中，因此可以推断出他们做笔记的目的是帮助预测时尚趋势。故选B。 9．What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A．The various benefits of using AI tools to predict trends. B．The high environmental costs of the fashion industry. C．The importance of looking at fashion more globally. D．The serious problem of unsalable fashion products. 解析：选A。主旨大意题。第三段主要讨论了使用人工智能工具预测趋势的各种好处。该段提到，人工智能工具可以帮助设计师更全面地了解全球时尚趋势，减少库存积压，降低时尚产业的碳足迹等，这些都是使用人工智能工具预测趋势的好处。因此，A项“使用人工智能工具预测趋势的各种好处”是正确的。故选A。 10．Why does Muston mention the trend of yellow predicted a few years ago? A．To explain why people dislike some new trends. B．To show AI fashion predictions are not always reliable. C．To describe the recent changes in people's fashion choices. D．To prove the key role of social media in fashion forecasting. 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的描述：人工智能工具没有自己的美学观点，因此可能无法满足人们对新鲜事物的渴望。Muston说：“这就是为什么我们与行业专家团队在预测中保持了非常强烈的创造性观点。”可推断出，Muston提到几年前预测的黄色调时尚趋势，是为了说明人工智能时尚预测有时候会不可靠。故选B。 11．Which statement might both Muston and Koren agree with? A．Machine learning is more creative than human experts. B．Many human trend forecasters will be unemployed. C．It is possible for AI to have its own fashion sense. D．AI tools will not replace human trend forecasters. 解析：选D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句话：这就是为什么我们与行业专家团队在预测中保持了非常强烈的创造性观点。和最后一段中的：即使人工智能和数据驱动模型变得更加准确，人类专家在识别趋势方面的作用也将继续至关重要。可知，Muston和Koren都认为，人工智能工具不会取代人类时尚预测专家。故选D。 D (2025·福建泉州高二上期末)Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming—or help students get started on tough math problems.But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self­awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. A 2024 study of nearly 1，000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz.Some relied on traditional methods—consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers, while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT. The results were a success of technology—until they weren't.Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow­up closed­book test, their math skills had disappeared.Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper.Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded.When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.” But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren't out of the game.In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in­depth follow­up questions.AI is making rapid progress, but isn't a threat to replace teachers.For now, it's only as smart as its human makers. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在教育环境中使用AI聊天机器人(如ChatGPT)的利弊，指出学生在使用AI时存在的问题，同时也强调了AI在正确引导学生学习方面的潜力。 12．What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots? A．They are not aware of how AI chatbots work. B．They lack the ability to employ AI effectively. C．They are incapable of improving AI chatbots. D．They refuse to take their own responsibility. 解析：选B。推理判断题。第一段中提到，许多教师认为他们的学生缺乏在人工智能产出基础上提升所需的技能，或者缺乏成熟度和自我意识来知道人工智能的工作何时结束，他们自己的任务何时开始。由此推断出，学生在使用人工智能聊天机器人时的一个问题是他们缺乏有效利用人工智能的能力。故选B。 13．How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods? A．Basic GPT users performed best during the practices. B．Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test. C．Basic GPT users' performance dropped during the test. D．Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices. 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第三段的描述，使用基础版和辅导版GPT的学生在练习中的成绩分别比同龄人高出48%和127%，但在随后的闭卷测试中，他们的数学技能消失了。使用基础版ChatGPT的学生的测试成绩下降得如此之多，以至于他们的分数比依赖纸笔的同龄人低17%。因此，与使用传统方法的学生相比，基础版GPT用户在测试中的表现下降。故选C。 14．What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in Paragraph 3? A．A device to help people walk. B．A strategy to deepen learning. C．A tool to improve math skills. D．A shortcut to find quick answers. 解析：选D。词义猜测题。在第三段中提到，学生使用这款软件作为“拐杖”，经常直接跳到答案。根据上下文可以推断，“crutch”在这里的意思是“捷径”，即学生使用GPT作为快速找到答案的捷径。因此，选项D“快速找到答案的捷径”是正确的意思。故选D。 15．What are AI tools expected to do in education setting? A．Enhance students' thinking ability. B．Follow AI designers' instructions. C．Give in­depth answers instantly. D．Replace traditional teaching methods. 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述，聊天机器人和其他类似的人工智能工具在设计上可以很好地指导学生学习，例如拒绝直接给出答案，或者提出深入的后续问题。这表明人工智能工具在教育领域的预期作用是增强学生的思维能力，而不是取代教师或传统教学方法。因此，选项A“提高学生的思维能力”是正确答案。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2025·广东茂名高二上期末)How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from far away friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered？16( ) Thanks to progress in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.
