The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum ★★★★ F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel about America’s lively 1920s gets a new chance to shine in this fancy but somewhat lazy-feeling musical — it won a Tony Award and is moving from Broadway. The exciting music mixes jazz and pop. Booking: Sept. 11 — Dec. 31 Mamma Mia! , Novello Theatre ★★★★ It’s been 24 years since the Abba musical Mamma Mia! first showed in London’s West End.

Booking until: Dec. 13 The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre ★★★★★ Deep down, The Cursed Child is exactly about worry because you have a famous family member from the past, and the dangers of trying to redo old things. This musical has a feeling that everyone can understand. How do we become adults? How do we talk to the family members? It sets a higher standard for fun things that families can enjoy together. Booking until: Dec. 29 The Lion King, London Coliseum ★★★★ This month, the London show of The Lion King is celebrating its 25th year in the city — it’s the fifth show that has run the longest among all West End musicals. This musical has been loved by millions of kids. Grown-ups are still buying tickets quickly to watch it with their own children. Booking until: Nov.26 21．How many musicals can you book on December 15? A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 22．Which one focuses on the improvement of family relationship? A．Mamma Mia! . B．The Lion King.

B Sia Godika was 13 when she noticed the barefoot (光脚的) children of construction workers at a building site near her house in Bengalure, India. “Their feet were bare, dirty and bleeding,” reflects Sia, “They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.” And it was in that moment that Sia realized how lucky she herself was. She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole (鞋底；脚掌) Warriors, a charity organization, with the motto “Donate a sole, save a soul”. Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a.m., contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the organization’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding India’s Pressto Cobler that would join her in the effort. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In honor of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 24．What can be inferred from the underlined part? A．There were various shoes in the closet. B．Sia’s home is not regularly cleaned. C．The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time. D．Her mother’s closet was covered with dust. 25．Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors? A．To help repair some used shoes. B．To provide free shoes for those in need. C．To gain experience in leading a project. D．To encourage people to buy only what they need. 26．What challenge did Sia face in running the organization? A．The running costs were too high. B．She had difficulty finding a partner. C．Few people would donate shoes. D．Communicating ability prevented her. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Clothes do not make the man. B．Learn to walk before you run. C．Walk in someone else’s shoes. D．Life without difficulties is too dull. C In 2003, Cressida Cowell published her first How to Train Your Dragon book, and it went on to inspire popular animated films and TV shows. Now the story from the first movie is being retold in a live-action film with human actors and computer-generated (CG) dragons. It arrives in theaters on July 13, 2025. How to Train Your Dragon takes place in a fantasy world where Hiccup, a Viking boy, refuses to go along with his tribe’s tradition of hunting dragons. Despite his father’s disapproval, he becomes friends with a giant flying dragon named Toothless, and they team up to help stop a war. The new film was co-written and directed by Dean DeBlois, who did the same for the original animated film and its sequel. He said that the films have been popular because many people can relate to the way Hiccup “can put up with ridicule (嘲笑) and still follow his heart.” He also thinks audiences wish that they, too, could have a bond with an amazing creature. There are some differences between the new film and the original. DeBlois said not all the CG dragons look like their animated counterparts, for example, although Toothless has not changed much. In fact, the team closely watched the animated movie to make sure his personality stayed the same. Some of Toothless’s behaviors, DeBlois said, were based on cats and dogs. To ensure that the actors’ reactions to the creatures looked natural, they performed opposite foam dragons operated by puppeteers (木偶操控师). DeBlois hopes kids who see the film are “thrilled by the adventure” and appreciate Hiccup’s bravery. He said, “Hiccup is a hero for all the people who sometimes feel like they don’t belong or that they have to change who they are to fit in.” 28．What makes Hiccup’s story appealing according to Dean DeBlois? A．The courage to stay true to oneself. B．The ancient dragon-hunting tradition. C．The fantasy world created in the story. D．The traditional way of training dragons. 29．Why were foam dragons adopted during filming? A．To reduce film production costs. B．To achieve realistic actor response. C．To simplify post-production editing. D．To create more realistic visual effects. 30．What can be inferred about the dragon design in the new film? A．Practical effects have replaced all digital elements. B．Animal-inspired movements are applied to most dragons. C．Traditions from the animated version are strictly followed. D．The lead dragon’s character is preserved despite visual updates. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．Dragon-themed films attract large audiences. B．Classic tales find new life in a live-action film. C．Technological innovations revolutionize cinema. D．Storytelling techniques undergo transformations. D Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated competence across various sectors, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is revolutionizing how scripts are developed, and stories are told. Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years. Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s (剧本) marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates (引起共鸣). The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character traits (特征) to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances. Beyond marketability, StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established traits or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.” Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences. 32．What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films? A．The financial difficulties. B．The limited growth prospect. C．The decreasing customer base. D．The insufficient AI competence. 33．What is StoryFit able to do according to Paragraph 3? A．rewrite scripts for a wider audience. B．Determine the amount of investment. C．Evaluate scripts’ potential for success. D．Facilitate the process of screen writing. 34．According to Landers, what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis? A．A data-driven advisor. B．A decision-maker. C．A marketing specialist. D．A content developer. 35．What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry? A．Unclear. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Concerned. 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。 Your comfort zone is that familiar, predictable space where tasks feel effortless — a protective bubble (泡沫) shielding you from stress and uncertainty. 36 There are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far. Do everyday things differently. Take a different route to work. 37 Whether the change you make is big or small, make a change in the way you do things on a day-to-day basis. Look for the perspective that comes from any change, even if it’s negative. Don’t be put off if things don’t work out the way you planned. Take your time making decisions. Sometimes slowing down is all it takes to make you uncomfortable — especially if speed and quick thinking are prized in your work or personal life. 38 And take your time to interpret what you see. Sometimes just defending your right to make an educated decision can push you out of your comfort zone. 39 It takes a lot of courage to break out of your comfort zone. You get the same benefits whether you go in with both feet or you do if you start slow, so don’t be afraid to start slow. Identify your fears, and then face them step by step. There are lots of ways to stretch your personal boundaries. You can learn a new language or skill, connect with people that inspire you, or volunteer in an organization that does great work. You can also travel whether you go around the block or across the globe. 40 A．Do it in small steps. B．Try a new operating system. C．Increase the difficulty continuously. D．Slow down, and observe what’s going on. E．Leaving it means increased risk and anxiety. F．But true growth requires stepping beyond its edges. G．It’s perhaps the best way to broaden your perspectives. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 An e-mail request asking for a dish recipe (食谱) came into Ekiben restaurant late on a Thursday afternoon.

Mackay and her son Charlie were forced to move into her two-passenger function vehicle, or “ute”. Although rough life was often cold and uncomfortable, Charlie’s mom bent over backward to make things as easy as possible for him. When they didn’t have enough money for food, Mackay went hungry so Charlie could eat. Since he has ADHD (多动症), speech and language delays, and a panic disorder, attending school is especially important to keep him in a good mood. Even when camping inside their narrow car throughout the Perth, Australia winter, Mackay made sure to get her son to school every day on time. After three months in the “ute”, Mackay was desperate to find a safe place to park at night. She posted a housing request on a local group company, where a group that cares about homeless mothers noticed and responded. Thankfully, doctor Claire Orange also saw Mackay’s request for help. She knew she had to do something to help them, and fast. She wanted to give Mackay and Charlie a safe place to stay until they got back on their feet. “Imagine living in a “ute” with a 6-year-old boy over winter.” Claire wrote. “This is what Mackay and Charlie have done, and she’s one of many homeless women in Perth who has struggled to find a home for her child. In the time that Mackay has been homeless, she has looked after Charlie beautifully, taking him to school every day, cooking for him, putting up her small summer tent when the weather allowed so that they were able to sleep lying stretched out instead of tied up. She is a remarkable mother who has put her child’s needs first consistently. We have the room so why wouldn’t you give the lovely family a home?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After moving in, Mackay and Charlie were satisfied with the room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything settled, Mackay was determined to help others like her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 The Value of Money单元测试·提升卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） （参考答案） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B A B A C A B C A C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A B A C C A C B B C 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分， 满分50分） 21．B 22．D 23．A 24．C 25．B 26．B 27．C 28．A 29．B 30．D 31．B 32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B 36．F 37．B 38．D 39．A 40．G 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41．B 42．C 43．B 44．A 45．D 46．C 47．A 48．A 49．B 50．A 51．C 52．B 53．D 54．D 55．C 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．known 57．be produced/should be produced 58．a 59．for 60．where 61．to solve 62．was shown 63．versions 64．simply 65．earning 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Sunday, Sunny Today, I met an elderly lady at the subway station who was struggling with her heavy bags. She told me she couldn’t find the exit to her community. I offered to help carry her bags and walk her home, which made her very happy. On the way, she shared stories about her grandchildren, and I realized that small kindnesses can brighten someone’s day. It also made me feel warm knowing I could do something useful for others. I think we should always be ready to help those in need because helping others is helping ourselves. 第二节（满分25分） After moving in, Mackay and Charlie were satisfied with the room. It was warm and spacious, a stark contrast to their cramped ute. Charlie ran around happily, touching the walls and looking out the window, while Mackay shed tears of relief. There was even a small desk where Charlie could spread out his schoolbooks and do his homework comfortably. For the first time in months, they could sleep soundly without worrying about the cold or rain. Mackay kept saying thanks to Claire, knowing that this kindness had given them a new lease of life. With everything settled, Mackay was determined to help others like her. She joined the local group that had helped her, volunteering to answer inquiries from homeless mothers. She also started a small weekly meal drive, preparing simple but warm dinners for families living in their vehicles. She shared her own experience to encourage them and even helped raise funds for temporary housing. Her efforts inspired more people to join in, and many struggling families got the help they needed, passing on the warmth she had received. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Peter, what animal do you . like best? pandas.

The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum ★★★★ F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel about America’s lively 1920s gets a new chance to shine in this fancy but somewhat lazy-feeling musical — it won a Tony Award and is moving from Broadway. The exciting music mixes jazz and pop. Booking: Sept. 11 — Dec. 31 Mamma Mia! , Novello Theatre ★★★★ It’s been 24 years since the Abba musical Mamma Mia! first showed in London’s West End. With a new group of great actors, this special Abba musical still draws people of all ages just as well as before. The story is about Donna, a single mom who is poor and owns an old hotel. Booking until: Dec. 13 The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre ★★★★★ Deep down, The Cursed Child is exactly about worry because you have a famous family member from the past, and the dangers of trying to redo old things. This musical has a feeling that everyone can understand. How do we become adults? How do we talk to the family members? It sets a higher standard for fun things that families can enjoy together. Booking until: Dec. 29 The Lion King, London Coliseum ★★★★ This month, the London show of The Lion King is celebrating its 25th year in the city — it’s the fifth show that has run the longest among all West End musicals. This musical has been loved by millions of kids. Grown-ups are still buying tickets quickly to watch it with their own children. Booking until: Nov.26 21．How many musicals can you book on December 15? A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 22．Which one focuses on the improvement of family relationship? A．Mamma Mia! . B．The Lion King. C．The Great Gatsby. D．The Cursed Child. 23．What do The Great Gatsby and The Lion King have in common? A．They are shown in the same theater. B．They have been performed for 25 years. C．They tell stories about a brave family member. D．They won an award before being played in London. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在伦敦一些剧院正在上演的几个音乐剧和戏剧的相关信息。 21．细节理解题。根据The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum部分“Booking: Sept. 11 — Dec. 31(预订时间：9月11日—12月31日)”以及The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre部分“Booking until: Dec. 29(预订截止日期：12月29日)”可知，12月15日仅能预订2个表演：The Great Gatsby和The Cursed Child。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre部分“How do we talk to the family members? It sets a higher standard for fun things that families can enjoy together.(我们该如何与家庭成员交流呢？这为家庭成员能够共同享受的娱乐活动设定了更高的标准)”可知，The Cursed Child侧重于改善家庭关系。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据“The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum(《了不起的盖茨比》，伦敦歌剧院)”以及“The Lion King, London Coliseum (《狮子王》，伦敦歌剧院)”可知，它们在同一家戏院上映。故选A。 B Sia Godika was 13 when she noticed the barefoot (光脚的) children of construction workers at a building site near her house in Bengalure, India. “Their feet were bare, dirty and bleeding,” reflects Sia, “They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.” And it was in that moment that Sia realized how lucky she herself was. She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole (鞋底；脚掌) Warriors, a charity organization, with the motto “Donate a sole, save a soul”. Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a.m., contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the organization’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding India’s Pressto Cobler that would join her in the effort. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In honor of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 24．What can be inferred from the underlined part? A．There were various shoes in the closet. B．Sia’s home is not regularly cleaned. C．The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time. D．Her mother’s closet was covered with dust. 25．Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors? A．To help repair some used shoes. B．To provide free shoes for those in need. C．To gain experience in leading a project. D．To encourage people to buy only what they need. 26．What challenge did Sia face in running the organization? A．The running costs were too high. B．She had difficulty finding a partner. C．Few people would donate shoes. D．Communicating ability prevented her. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Clothes do not make the man. B．Learn to walk before you run. C．Walk in someone else’s shoes. D．Life without difficulties is too dull. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述印度13岁女孩Sia目睹建筑工人子女光脚受苦后，成立慈善组织Sole Warriors，收集修复旧鞋捐赠给有需要的人，虽遇挑战仍坚守使命的故事。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. (接着她走向母亲的壁橱，真的从一些鞋子上掸掉了蜘蛛网。)”可知，鞋子上有蜘蛛网，说明这些鞋子已经很久没有被穿过了。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole (鞋底；脚掌) Warriors, a charity organization, with the motto “Donate a sole, save a soul”. (那年晚些时候，在父母的帮助下，希亚创立了名为“鞋履勇士”的慈善组织，其座右铭是“捐赠一双鞋，拯救一颗心”。)”以及“Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. (如今该组织已成立五年，致力于收集废旧鞋履，经修复后将成品捐赠给有需要的人。)”可知，Sia成立这个组织的目的是为有需要的人提供免费的鞋子。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding India’s Pressto Cobler that would join her in the effort. (当Sia试图寻找一家愿意免费修复和清理旧鞋的公司时，她遇到了一个又一个困难，之后才找到印度的Pressto Cobler公司愿意与她合作。)”可知，Sia在运营组织时面临的挑战是难以找到合作伙伴。故选B项。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，Sia看到他人光脚受苦后，换位思考，通过捐赠和修复鞋子帮助有需要的人，“Walk in someone else’s shoes”既字面呼应“鞋子”主题，又寓意“换位思考、共情他人”，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C In 2003, Cressida Cowell published her first How to Train Your Dragon book, and it went on to inspire popular animated films and TV shows. Now the story from the first movie is being retold in a live-action film with human actors and computer-generated (CG) dragons. It arrives in theaters on July 13, 2025. How to Train Your Dragon takes place in a fantasy world where Hiccup, a Viking boy, refuses to go along with his tribe’s tradition of hunting dragons. Despite his father’s disapproval, he becomes friends with a giant flying dragon named Toothless, and they team up to help stop a war. The new film was co-written and directed by Dean DeBlois, who did the same for the original animated film and its sequel. He said that the films have been popular because many people can relate to the way Hiccup “can put up with ridicule (嘲笑) and still follow his heart.” He also thinks audiences wish that they, too, could have a bond with an amazing creature. There are some differences between the new film and the original. DeBlois said not all the CG dragons look like their animated counterparts, for example, although Toothless has not changed much. In fact, the team closely watched the animated movie to make sure his personality stayed the same. Some of Toothless’s behaviors, DeBlois said, were based on cats and dogs. To ensure that the actors’ reactions to the creatures looked natural, they performed opposite foam dragons operated by puppeteers (木偶操控师). DeBlois hopes kids who see the film are “thrilled by the adventure” and appreciate Hiccup’s bravery. He said, “Hiccup is a hero for all the people who sometimes feel like they don’t belong or that they have to change who they are to fit in.” 28．What makes Hiccup’s story appealing according to Dean DeBlois? A．The courage to stay true to oneself. B．The ancient dragon-hunting tradition. C．The fantasy world created in the story. D．The traditional way of training dragons. 29．Why were foam dragons adopted during filming? A．To reduce film production costs. B．To achieve realistic actor response. C．To simplify post-production editing. D．To create more realistic visual effects. 30．What can be inferred about the dragon design in the new film? A．Practical effects have replaced all digital elements. B．Animal-inspired movements are applied to most dragons. C．Traditions from the animated version are strictly followed. D．The lead dragon’s character is preserved despite visual updates. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．Dragon-themed films attract large audiences. B．Classic tales find new life in a live-action film. C．Technological innovations revolutionize cinema. D．Storytelling techniques undergo transformations. 【答案】28．A 29．B 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了经典故事《驯龙高手》将以真人电影形式重现并介绍相关情况。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段中“He said that the films have been popular because many people can relate to the way Hiccup “can put up with ridicule (嘲笑) and still follow his heart.”(他说，这些电影之所以受欢迎，是因为很多人都能理解希卡普“能承受嘲笑，仍然追随自己的内心”的方式。)”可知，让希卡普的故事吸引人的是他坚持做自己的勇气。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段中“To ensure that the actors’ reactions to the creatures looked natural, they performed opposite foam dragons operated by puppeteers (木偶操控师).(为了确保演员们对这些生物的反应看起来自然，他们在木偶师操控的泡沫龙面前表演。)”可知，拍摄时采用泡沫龙是为了实现演员真实的反应。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“DeBlois said not all the CG dragons look like their animated counterparts, for example, although Toothless has not changed much. In fact, the team closely watched the animated movie to make sure his personality stayed the same.(迪布洛伊斯说，例如，并不是所有的电脑生成龙看起来都像它们的动画版本，尽管无牙仔没有太大变化。事实上，团队密切关注这部动画电影，以确保它的性格保持不变。)”可推知，尽管视觉效果有所更新，但主角无牙仔的性格特征得以保留。故选D。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Now the story from the first movie is being retold in a live-action film with human actors and computer-generated (CG) dragons.(现在，第一部电影中的故事正在被改编成一部由真人演员和电脑生成龙出演的真人电影。)”可知，文章主要介绍了经典故事《驯龙高手》将以真人电影形式重现，并说明了新电影与原动画的不同之处。可推知，文章主要讲了经典故事以真人电影的形式重现。故选B。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated competence across various sectors, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is revolutionizing how scripts are developed, and stories are told. Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years. Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s (剧本) marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates (引起共鸣). The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character traits (特征) to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances. Beyond marketability, StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established traits or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.” Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences. 32．What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films? A．The financial difficulties. B．The limited growth prospect. C．The decreasing customer base. D．The insufficient AI competence. 33．What is StoryFit able to do according to Paragraph 3? A．rewrite scripts for a wider audience. B．Determine the amount of investment. C．Evaluate scripts’ potential for success. D．Facilitate the process of screen writing. 34．According to Landers, what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis? A．A data-driven advisor. B．A decision-maker. C．A marketing specialist. D．A content developer. 35．What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry? A．Unclear. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Concerned. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了StoryFit公司将人工智能技术从出版行业转向电影行业，通过分析剧本的市场潜力、观众共鸣等为电影创作提供数据支持，展现了AI在电影行业的应用价值。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead.(然而，StoryFit发现出版行业的增长潜力不足，于是将目标转向了电影行业。)”可知，StoryFit将重心从出版业转向电影业的原因是出版业增长前景有限。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates. The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful.(首先，StoryFit分析剧本的市场潜力，评估故事是否符合观众需求以及每个叙事元素如何引起共鸣。电影行业风险很高，在获得回报之前需要大量投资。StoryFit提供数据判断这些风险是否有可能带来收益。)”可知，StoryFit能够评估剧本的成功潜力。 故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.”(然而，兰德斯强调，他们的作用是从数据中提取见解，而不是对剧本进行评价。她表示：“有些人的整个职业生涯都基于做出这些决定。但我们可以成为一种技术声音，帮助他们了解剧本中存在的问题或不足之处。”)”可知，兰德斯认为StoryFit在剧本分析中的角色是数据驱动的顾问。故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences.(在电影行业使用像StoryFit这样的人工智能技术，展示了人工智能提升叙事的潜力。随着技术的进步，它对电影行业的影响只会越来越大，为更具吸引力和共鸣感的电影体验铺平道路。)”可知，作者对AI在电影行业的应用持支持态度。故选B。 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。 Your comfort zone is that familiar, predictable space where tasks feel effortless — a protective bubble (泡沫) shielding you from stress and uncertainty. 36 There are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far. Do everyday things differently. Take a different route to work. 37 Whether the change you make is big or small, make a change in the way you do things on a day-to-day basis. Look for the perspective that comes from any change, even if it’s negative. Don’t be put off if things don’t work out the way you planned. Take your time making decisions. Sometimes slowing down is all it takes to make you uncomfortable — especially if speed and quick thinking are prized in your work or personal life. 38 And take your time to interpret what you see. Sometimes just defending your right to make an educated decision can push you out of your comfort zone. 39 It takes a lot of courage to break out of your comfort zone. You get the same benefits whether you go in with both feet or you do if you start slow, so don’t be afraid to start slow. Identify your fears, and then face them step by step. There are lots of ways to stretch your personal boundaries. You can learn a new language or skill, connect with people that inspire you, or volunteer in an organization that does great work. You can also travel whether you go around the block or across the globe. 40 A．Do it in small steps. B．Try a new operating system. C．Increase the difficulty continuously. D．Slow down, and observe what’s going on. E．Leaving it means increased risk and anxiety. F．But true growth requires stepping beyond its edges. G．It’s perhaps the best way to broaden your perspectives. 【答案】36．F 37．B 38．D 39．A 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了让人们在不必走得太远的前提下突破舒适区的一些方法。 36．前文“Your comfort zone is that familiar, predictable space where tasks feel effortless — a protective bubble (泡沫) shielding you from stress and uncertainty. (你的舒适区是那个熟悉的、可预测的空间，在那里完成任务感觉毫不费力——一个保护你免受压力和不确定性的保护泡泡。)”介绍舒适区的含义，后文“There are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far. (有一些方法可以让你走出舒适区，而不用走得太远。)”引出走出舒适区的方法，此处需要一个过渡句，说明离开舒适区的必要性，因此F项“But true growth requires stepping beyond its edges. (但真正的成长需要跨出它的边界。)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，引出后文的方法，其中的its指代前文的Your comfort zone。故选F。 37．前文“Do everyday things differently. Take a different route to work. (用不同的方式做日常的事情。选择一条不同的路线去上班。)”建议改变日常活动的方式，并给出上班路线的具体例子，后文“Whether the change you make is big or small, make a change in the way you do things on a day-to-day basis. (无论你所做的改变是大是小，每天都要改变你做事的方式。)”强调要改变，此处应再补充一个具体例子，因此B项“Try a new operating system. (尝试一个新的操作系统。)”符合语境，和前一句是并列关系，引出后文的强调。故选B。 38．前文“Sometimes slowing down is all it takes to make you uncomfortable — especially if speed and quick thinking are prized in your work or personal life. (有时候慢下来只会让你感到不舒服——尤其是当你在工作或个人生活中看重速度和敏捷思维的时候。)”指出不愿慢下来的原因，后文“And take your time to interpret what you see. (慢慢来解读你所看到的。)”指出下一步是理解所见，此处应补充慢下来的第一步，因此D项“Slow down, and observe what’s going on. (放慢速度，观察周围情况。)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的observe和后文的see呼应。故选D。 39．后文“It takes a lot of courage to break out of your comfort zone. You get the same benefits whether you go in with both feet or you do if you start slow, so don’t be afraid to start slow. Identify your fears, and then face them step by step. (走出你的舒适区需要很大的勇气。无论你是用两只脚开始还是慢点开始，你都能得到同样的好处，所以不要害怕慢点开始。确定你的恐惧，然后一步一步地面对它们。)”指出走出舒适区并不容易，可以慢点开始，逐步面对恐惧，此处是段首句，应总的建议从小处着手，且需和前两段段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Do it in small steps. (从小步骤开始。)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选A。 40．前文“You can learn a new language or skill, connect with people that inspire you, or volunteer in an organization that does great work. You can also travel whether you go around the block or across the globe. (你可以学习一门新的语言或技能，与能激励你的人交往，或者在一个做得很好的组织做志愿者。你也可以旅行，无论你是绕着街区还是环球旅行。)”列举拓宽边界的各种方法，此处应总结这些行动的意义，因此G项“It’s perhaps the best way to broaden your perspectives. (这或许是拓宽视野的最佳方式。)”符合语境，承接前文。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 An e-mail request asking for a dish recipe (食谱) came into Ekiben restaurant late on a Thursday afternoon.

Mackay and her son Charlie were forced to move into her two-passenger function vehicle, or “ute”. Although rough life was often cold and uncomfortable, Charlie’s mom bent over backward to make things as easy as possible for him. When they didn’t have enough money for food, Mackay went hungry so Charlie could eat. Since he has ADHD (多动症), speech and language delays, and a panic disorder, attending school is especially important to keep him in a good mood. Even when camping inside their narrow car throughout the Perth, Australia winter, Mackay made sure to get her son to school every day on time. After three months in the “ute”, Mackay was desperate to find a safe place to park at night. She posted a housing request on a local group company, where a group that cares about homeless mothers noticed and responded. Thankfully, doctor Claire Orange also saw Mackay’s request for help. She knew she had to do something to help them, and fast. She wanted to give Mackay and Charlie a safe place to stay until they got back on their feet. “Imagine living in a “ute” with a 6-year-old boy over winter.” Claire wrote. “This is what Mackay and Charlie have done, and she’s one of many homeless women in Perth who has struggled to find a home for her child. In the time that Mackay has been homeless, she has looked after Charlie beautifully, taking him to school every day, cooking for him, putting up her small summer tent when the weather allowed so that they were able to sleep lying stretched out instead of tied up. She is a remarkable mother who has put her child’s needs first consistently. We have the room so why wouldn’t you give the lovely family a home?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After moving in, Mackay and Charlie were satisfied with the room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything settled, Mackay was determined to help others like her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After moving in, Mackay and Charlie were satisfied with the room. It was warm and spacious, a stark contrast to their cramped ute. Charlie ran around happily, touching the walls and looking out the window, while Mackay shed tears of relief. There was even a small desk where Charlie could spread out his schoolbooks and do his homework comfortably. For the first time in months, they could sleep soundly without worrying about the cold or rain. Mackay kept saying thanks to Claire, knowing that this kindness had given them a new lease of life. With everything settled, Mackay was determined to help others like her. She joined the local group that had helped her, volunteering to answer inquiries from homeless mothers. She also started a small weekly meal drive, preparing simple but warm dinners for families living in their vehicles. She shared her own experience to encourage them and even helped raise funds for temporary housing. Her efforts inspired more people to join in, and many struggling families got the help they needed, passing on the warmth she had received. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了单身母亲Mackay因无家可归和儿子Charlie住在车里，后得到医生Claire Orange的帮助住进安稳住所，进而决心帮助同类人群的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“搬进来后，Mackay和Charlie对房间很满意。” 可知，第一段可描写母子俩住进房间后的具体生活状态、Charlie 的开心表现以及 Mackay 的内心感受与对帮助者的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“一切尘埃落定后，Mackay决心帮助像她这样的人。” 可知，第二段可描写 Mackay 帮助他人的具体行动、她的举措带来的影响以及传递善意的决心。 2.续写线索：母子住回车里度日——Mackay 发帖求助——Claire 伸出援手提供住所——母子入住后重拾安稳——Mackay 决心回馈他人——投身志愿活动传递善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①四处跑动：run around/dash about/scamper around ②加入团体：join the group /take part in the group /become a member of the group ③筹集资金：raise funds/collect money/gather funds 情绪类 ①担心：worry about/be concerned about ②高兴地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mackay kept saying thanks to Claire, knowing that this kindness had given them a new lease of life.（运用that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】She joined the local group that had helped her, volunteering to answer inquiries from homeless mothers.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ Unit 5 The Value of Money单元自测·提升卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What animal does Peter like best?

B Sia Godika was 13 when she noticed the barefoot (光脚的) children of construction workers at a building site near her house in Bengalure, India. “Their feet were bare, dirty and bleeding,” reflects Sia, “They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.” And it was in that moment that Sia realized how lucky she herself was. She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole (鞋底；脚掌) Warriors, a charity organization, with the motto “Donate a sole, save a soul”. Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a.m., contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the organization’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding India’s Pressto Cobler that would join her in the effort. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In honor of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 24．What can be inferred from the underlined part? A．There were various shoes in the closet. B．Sia’s home is not regularly cleaned. C．The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time. D．Her mother’s closet was covered with dust. 25．Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors? A．To help repair some used shoes. B．To provide free shoes for those in need. C．To gain experience in leading a project. D．To encourage people to buy only what they need. 26．What challenge did Sia face in running the organization? A．The running costs were too high. B．She had difficulty finding a partner. C．Few people would donate shoes. D．Communicating ability prevented her. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Clothes do not make the man. B．Learn to walk before you run. C．Walk in someone else’s shoes. D．Life without difficulties is too dull. C In 2003, Cressida Cowell published her first How to Train Your Dragon book, and it went on to inspire popular animated films and TV shows. Now the story from the first movie is being retold in a live-action film with human actors and computer-generated (CG) dragons. It arrives in theaters on July 13, 2025. How to Train Your Dragon takes place in a fantasy world where Hiccup, a Viking boy, refuses to go along with his tribe’s tradition of hunting dragons. Despite his father’s disapproval, he becomes friends with a giant flying dragon named Toothless, and they team up to help stop a war. The new film was co-written and directed by Dean DeBlois, who did the same for the original animated film and its sequel. He said that the films have been popular because many people can relate to the way Hiccup “can put up with ridicule (嘲笑) and still follow his heart.” He also thinks audiences wish that they, too, could have a bond with an amazing creature. There are some differences between the new film and the original. DeBlois said not all the CG dragons look like their animated counterparts, for example, although Toothless has not changed much. In fact, the team closely watched the animated movie to make sure his personality stayed the same. Some of Toothless’s behaviors, DeBlois said, were based on cats and dogs. To ensure that the actors’ reactions to the creatures looked natural, they performed opposite foam dragons operated by puppeteers (木偶操控师). DeBlois hopes kids who see the film are “thrilled by the adventure” and appreciate Hiccup’s bravery. He said, “Hiccup is a hero for all the people who sometimes feel like they don’t belong or that they have to change who they are to fit in.” 28．What makes Hiccup’s story appealing according to Dean DeBlois? A．The courage to stay true to oneself. B．The ancient dragon-hunting tradition. C．The fantasy world created in the story. D．The traditional way of training dragons. 29．Why were foam dragons adopted during filming? A．To reduce film production costs. B．To achieve realistic actor response. C．To simplify post-production editing. D．To create more realistic visual effects. 30．What can be inferred about the dragon design in the new film? A．Practical effects have replaced all digital elements. B．Animal-inspired movements are applied to most dragons. C．Traditions from the animated version are strictly followed. D．The lead dragon’s character is preserved despite visual updates. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．Dragon-themed films attract large audiences. B．Classic tales find new life in a live-action film. C．Technological innovations revolutionize cinema. D．Storytelling techniques undergo transformations. D Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated competence across various sectors, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is revolutionizing how scripts are developed, and stories are told. Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years. Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s (剧本) marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates (引起共鸣). The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character traits (特征) to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances. Beyond marketability, StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established traits or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.” Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences. 32．What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films?

Do everyday things differently. Take a different route to work. 37 Whether the change you make is big or small, make a change in the way you do things on a day-to-day basis. Look for the perspective that comes from any change, even if it’s negative. Don’t be put off if things don’t work out the way you planned. Take your time making decisions. Sometimes slowing down is all it takes to make you uncomfortable — especially if speed and quick thinking are prized in your work or personal life. 38 And take your time to interpret what you see. Sometimes just defending your right to make an educated decision can push you out of your comfort zone. 39 It takes a lot of courage to break out of your comfort zone. You get the same benefits whether you go in with both feet or you do if you start slow, so don’t be afraid to start slow. Identify your fears, and then face them step by step. There are lots of ways to stretch your personal boundaries. You can learn a new language or skill, connect with people that inspire you, or volunteer in an organization that does great work. You can also travel whether you go around the block or across the globe. 40 A．Do it in small steps. B．Try a new operating system. C．Increase the difficulty continuously.

Mackay and her son Charlie were forced to move into her two-passenger function vehicle, or “ute”. Although rough life was often cold and uncomfortable, Charlie’s mom bent over backward to make things as easy as possible for him. When they didn’t have enough money for food, Mackay went hungry so Charlie could eat. Since he has ADHD (多动症), speech and language delays, and a panic disorder, attending school is especially important to keep him in a good mood. Even when camping inside their narrow car throughout the Perth, Australia winter, Mackay made sure to get her son to school every day on time. After three months in the “ute”, Mackay was desperate to find a safe place to park at night. She posted a housing request on a local group company, where a group that cares about homeless mothers noticed and responded. Thankfully, doctor Claire Orange also saw Mackay’s request for help. She knew she had to do something to help them, and fast. She wanted to give Mackay and Charlie a safe place to stay until they got back on their feet. “Imagine living in a “ute” with a 6-year-old boy over winter.” Claire wrote. “This is what Mackay and Charlie have done, and she’s one of many homeless women in Perth who has struggled to find a home for her child. In the time that Mackay has been homeless, she has looked after Charlie beautifully, taking him to school every day, cooking for him, putting up her small summer tent when the weather allowed so that they were able to sleep lying stretched out instead of tied up. She is a remarkable mother who has put her child’s needs first consistently. We have the room so why wouldn’t you give the lovely family a home?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After moving in, Mackay and Charlie were satisfied with the room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything settled, Mackay was determined to help others like her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
