Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St.Petersburg，Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure，and with Becky he gets lost in a cave. And finally，they find a box of gold. My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead，he decides to go to his own funeral(葬礼).He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Tom’s best friend，and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story. The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally，it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour. Why do I think The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story，Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it！I know you’ll enjoy it，too. 语篇翻译 我最喜欢的书是马克·吐温所著的《汤姆·索亚历险记》。汤姆和他的波莉姨妈住在密苏里州圣彼得斯堡一条宁静的街道上。他是个活泼聪明的小男孩，经历了许多刺激的冒险。他和他的两个朋友哈克·费恩以及乔一起逃到了密西西比河中央的一个小岛上，在那里待了好几天。他和哈克一起去寻宝，和贝基一起在山洞里迷路了。最后，他们找到了一箱金子。 书中我最喜欢的场景是，当大家都以为汤姆死了的时候，他决定去参加自己的葬礼。他先藏起来观察了一会儿，然后突然现身。大家见到他都很惊讶，但也很高兴他还活着。 汤姆是这个故事的主人公，但还有其他重要的角色。哈克是个局外人，大家都怕他。贝基很漂亮，有着一头金发，乔是汤姆最好的朋友，而印第安·乔则是故事里的坏人。 这个故事的主题是关于孩子们的成长。它描绘了美国小镇上人们如何看待陌生人。最后，它探讨了自由、社会规则以及人们如何因不良行为受到惩罚。 为什么我认为《汤姆·索亚历险记》是一本伟大的书呢？马克·吐温在1876年写下了这个故事，但时至今日，全世界的人仍在阅读并喜爱着它。尽管这只是一个故事，但吐温用19世纪美国南方各州的日常英语来写作，所以读起来非常真实。如今，它被认为是美国文学中最伟大的作品之一。来吧，读一读！我知道你也会喜欢它的。 知识拓展 ①作者马克·吐温：原名塞缪尔·兰霍恩·克莱门斯，是美国作家、演说家。他的作品风格幽默诙谐，多以美国社会为背景，反映了当时社会的各种问题，代表作还有《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》《百万英镑》等。 ②时代背景：《汤姆·索亚历险记》以19世纪美国密西西比河沿岸的小镇生活为背景，当时美国正处于快速发展的阶段，社会发生着巨大的变化，小说展现了那个时代美国小镇的社会风貌、人们的生活方式和价值观。 ③文学地位：《汤姆·索亚历险记》是美国文学史上的经典之作，它不仅深受孩子们的喜爱，也为成人读者提供了对童年、成长和社会的深刻思考。它开创了以儿童视角讲述故事的先河，对后来的儿童文学发展产生了深远的影响。 ④影视改编：这部小说多次被改编成电影、电视剧、舞台剧等多种艺术形式，如1938年米高梅公司拍摄的电影《汤姆·索亚历险记》，让更多的人了解和喜爱这部作品。 重点单词 1._____________ n. 冒险 2. ____________adj. 活泼的 3._____________ n. 宝藏 4. _____________ n. 葬礼 5.______________ n. 人物 6.______________ adj. 漂亮的 7.______________ n. 主题 8.______________ adj. 社会的 派生词 1.sudden adj. 突然的→__________ adv. 突然地 2.free adj. 自由的→ __________ n. 自由 3. behave v. 行为，举止→__________ n. 行为 4. south n. 南部→__________ adj. 南部的 5. think v. 思考→ ___________ n. 想法 重点短语 1. _____________ 逃跑 2. ____________ 迷路 3. _____________ 恐怕 长难句分析 1. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. 分析：本句是主谓宾结构。He是主语，runs away是谓语，with his two friends是伴随状语，Huck Finn and Joe是对two friends的补充说明，to an island是__________，in the middle of the Mississippi River是_________修饰island，for several days是时间状语。 句意：他和他的两个朋友哈克·费恩和乔一起跑到密西西比河中央的一个岛上待了几天。 2. Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. 分析：本句是并列复合句，由but连接两个分句。前一个分句Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876是主谓宾结构，Mark Twain是主语，wrote是谓语，the story是宾语，in 1876是时间状语；后一个分句it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today是主谓宾结构的被动语态，it是主语，指代_______，is read and loved是谓语，by people all over the world是动作的执行者，today是时间状语。 句意：马克·吐温在1876年写了这个故事，但时至今日它仍然被全世界的人们阅读和喜爱。 （2024年全国新高考I卷 D） Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革). In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 32. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic. 33. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text? A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals. 34. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development? A. Observe existing regulations on it. B. Reconsider expert opinions about it. C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control. D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history. C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert. 重点单词 1． n. 潜力 adj. 有潜力的 2. v 转变 3. adj. 复杂的 4. ___________ adj. 有能力的； 5. ___________ adj. 完全必要的； 6._____________ adj. 有能力的； 7.____________ n. 特点； 8.____________ adj. 先前的： 9._____________ v. 阐明； 熟词生义 1. address n. 地址[此文指的是]v. ___________ 2. pose n. 姿势 v. 摆姿势[此文指的是]v._______ 3. process n. 过程[此文指的是] v.____________ 4.power n. 权力 [ 此文指的是] v.__________ 5.point n.点 [此文指的是]__________ 6. honor . n. 荣誉[此文指的是]v.__________ 派生词 1.astonish v. 使惊讶→________adj. 令人惊讶的 2.absorb v.吸收，理解→_____________ adj. 吸引人的 3.practice v. 练习→___________ adj. 实用的 4.thank v. 感谢→thankful adj. 幸运的， 庆幸的→_____________adv. 幸运地，庆幸地 5.understand v. 理解→_____________ adj. 可理解的 6.access n. 通道，入口→_____________ adj. 容易理解的 7.inform v. 通知，告知→_____________ adj. 提供有用信息的 8.currnet adj. 当前的，现在的→_____________ adv. 当前 9.structure n. 结构，构造→_____________ adj. 有条理的 10.educate v. 教育→_____________ adj. 受过……教育的 11. define v. 给……下定义→_____________ n. 定义 合成词 1.road+map →_____________ n. 路线图 2. forth + coming →_____________ adj. 即将到来的 3. side + line →_____________ v. 使不再发挥重要作用，使靠边 4. extinction + level →_____________ adj. 灭绝级别的 5. down + fall →_____________ n. 衰落 6. ill + intentioned →_____________ adj. 怀有恶意的 7. down + to + earth →_____________ adj. 脚踏实地的 8. out-+ standing →_____________ adj. 杰出的 重点短语 1.___________ 采取行动 2. ___________ 出现 3. ___________将……变为…… 4. ___________促成 5.by the close ___________ 6._________着手做某事 7.___________控制 8.___________ 唤醒 9.___________ 对……负责 10. _____________.使某人能够做某事 11. _____________.充满…… 12. _____________.是为某人/某事物而设计的 13._____________. 敦促某人做某事 14.make joint efforts to do sth. ___________ 15.keep sth under control ___________ 16.give a brief account of ____________ 难句剖析 She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. 分析：句子主干是：She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic; making for ... as AI是非谓语短语作 状语，其中嵌入两个which引导的 从句，都修饰先行词guide。 翻译：她从商业人士(而非学者)的实用角度出发，使得这本指南通俗易懂、内容丰富，读完之后，你会觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明。 Passage 1 (2025-2026学年辽宁省葫芦岛市高三上学期期末英语) In 1818, 18-year-old British writer Mary Shelley published her first novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. At that time, the Industrial Revolution was changing the world. New machines and technologies were being invented, and people began to dream of creating life through science. Shelley’s novel, often called the first true science fiction story, told a dark and thought-provoking tale that would echo through the centuries. The book’s main character is Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist. He is obsessed with the idea of creating life from dead matter. After years of hard work, he finally succeeds in making a human-like creature. But the creature is ugly and frightening. Frankenstein is so scared that he abandons his creation. Left alone and rejected by everyone, the creature feels lonely and angry. He starts to take revenge (复仇) on Frankenstein, killing those the scientist loves most. In the end, both Frankenstein and his creature die in pain and regret. Shelley did not just write a horror story. She asked a question that is still important today: What happens when humans try to play God? When we create something new, do we have a responsibility to care for it? Upon the novel’s publication, people regarded it as a chilling fantasy. No one could have imagined that in the 21st century, we would be talking about artificial intelligence (AI), cloning technology, and robots that can think and learn. These inventions are far more advanced than Frankenstein’s creature, but they raise the same moral questions. Today, Frankenstein is more than a classic novel. It is a warning. As we develop AI and other advanced technologies, we must remember Shelley’s message: Progress without responsibility is dangerous. We should not create things just because we can. We must think about how our inventions will affect humanity and the world around us. 1．What can we know about Frankenstein from Paragraph 1? A．It was written during the Information Age. B．It was based on Mary Shelley’s personal experience as a scientist. C．It described the beautiful results of the Industrial Revolution. D．It is considered the first real science fiction work. 2．Why did Frankenstein’s creature take revenge on him? A．Because the creature wanted to become a real human. B．Because Frankenstein tried to kill the creature right after its birth. C．Because Frankenstein refused to take responsibility for his creation. D．Because the creature was born with a violent and angry nature. 3．What issue did Mary Shelley intend to explore through her novel? A．What problems will arise when humans create life without responsibility. B．What the world will be like when machines think like humans. C．How we can develop AI and cloning technologies in a safe manner. D．Why people create life even if it is dangerous. 4．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Mary Shelley’s personal life and the inspiration for her novel Frankenstein. B．Frankenstein’s plot and its long-lasting moral warning for modern technology. C．The similarities between Frankenstein’s creature and modern AI technologies. D．The impact of the Industrial Revolution on the creation of science fiction works. Passage 2 (2026届江苏省南京市鼓楼区南京市第二十九中学高三上学期第一次模拟考试英语试卷) Some famous novels show that being the side character can give us access to deeper truths and a richer appreciation of the human condition than those too busy propelling the story forward. Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle “He possesses two out of the three qualities necessary for the ideal detective. He has the power of observation and that of deduction. He is only wanting in knowledge.” There is little doubt that Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in literature. Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories now exist in over 70 languages, and Holmes is the most portrayed literary character in film and television history. As a detective, Holmes often takes the lead in solving mysteries, but the story is told from the perspective of Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes’s loyal friend and companion. There are many advantages to this. First, Holmes is odd and tends to focus on minor details. Telling a short story from his perspective would make it anything but short. Dr. Watson translates Holmes’s oddity into something less tiring for the reader. On a literary level, having the story told by the companion helps keep the reader in suspense. If we had access to everything Holmes knew, the game would be over before it was happening. By seeing the Victorian world through Watson’s eyes, not only are we provided a picture that non-detectives can comprehend, but we get to enjoy Sherlock’s exciting adventures, free of spoiler (剧透). The Great Gatsby by E. Scot Fitzgerald “Yet high over the city, our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s best-known work is a meditation on class in the supposedly egalitarian (平等主义) United States, the excesses of the 1920s, and how horrible it can be when the American Dream comes true. The story is told from the perspective of Nick Carraway, a young man who has moved to Long Island in hopes of becoming a stockbroker and cashing in on the 1920s boom. As the title suggests, the real hero of the story is his mysterious neighbor, Jay Gatsby. The difficulty of the story centers on Gatsby’s attempts to pursue Nick’s married cousin Daisy, his dreams of reliving the past, and his efforts to climb into the upper-class of American society. Nick, who is an unreliable narrator, is present for many of the main events in the story. However, as hinted at in the above quote, he considers himself an observer rather than a driver of those events. This allows us to get an outside view of the situation from somebody who admits he doesn’t entirely fit into the world he’s participating in while still being an intimate companion of those who do. The resulting commentary on the life of the American upper crust (症结) has been debated for a century. 5．If written from the perspective of Sherlock Holmes instead of Dr. John Watson, the book Sherlock Holmes would be ________. A．short and to the point B．incomprehensible and long C．full of spoiler and suspense D．interesting but too professional 6．What can be inferred from The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald? A．Nick Carraway is not just as observer but a driver of the story events. B．The real mysterious hero behind the title of the novel is Nick Garraway. C．Readers will know more about the American upper class from Jay Gatsby’s perspective. D．The unreliable narrator prevents readers grasping the harms of pursuing the American Dream. 7．Quotes from Sherlock Holmes and The Great Gatsby given below the title respectively in order to ________. A．stick to the traditional pattern of a famous novel B．indicate the side character’s role as the narrator C．remind readers of the theme and plot of the novels D．explain the main character’s neglect of deep truths 8．What message does the author want to convey through the two books mentioned? A．Side characters in novels are usually dismissed as unimportant. B．Classical novels must have quotes that have enduring power among readers. C．Stories told from the most important character’s perspective are still the mainstream. D．Individual, or historical eras can be deeply explored from a unique sideline perspective. 阅读七选五 Passage 3 (2025-2026学年云南省曲靖市罗平县第一中学高三上学期期末考试英语试题) Literature holds great importance in shaping our thoughts and ideas.

While all the other girls wore perfect ballet outfits, I showed up in my 3 hip-hop clothes. My face burned when Ms. Barton made me demonstrate a grand plié (大屈膝), then told the class, “This is exactly how not to do it.” That night, I almost 4 .

When Ms. Barton called my name for the “Ballerina” award, I nearly 11 my books. That serious teacher was actually smiling at me. As I received the award, a bit 12 , I smiled back at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.” Holding the 13 , I realized something important — my biggest 14 had become my proudest moment.

They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn’t come along, they would still be there 1 . But man did come along, farmed the land, 2 the wolves killing their livestock (家畜) and so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been theirs. Wolves are not 3 in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always 4 to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? “What big teeth you’ve got, Grandmother?” she says, and the wolf, disguised (伪装) as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!” If you really want to see how English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the 5 ! “A wolf in sheep’s clothing” is not a pleasant person and a “wolf-whistle” is not a pleasant sound! Yet wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don’t 6 humans; indeed, they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans 7 themselves. Far from wolf music being 8 , the howl of the wolf — the cry of the whole pack — as the full moon rises in a star-bright sky, is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do 9 , their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective. But the 10 remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world.

Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of the 1 （hard) poems to explain and translate. In the beginning of the poem, the poet looks at his zither and recalls the death of his beloved wife. The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, 2 (be) mentioned to show his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, 3 (suggest) the sorrow and depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything 4 happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient 5 (myth) and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldn’t distinguish dream 6 reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes a cuckoo and always cries; mermaid’s tears become pearl and vapor of jade from Lantian County can be seen in the sunlight. The first three stories all create 7 sad atmosphere. Though the last legend describes a beautiful scene, it’s hard 8 (reach), implicating the hopelessness. Actually, the four stories he chose indicate Li’s 9 (satisfy) with his life. In the end, the poet directly expresses his point. He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he 10 (give) the chance to live those years again. 读后续写 Passage 8 When Mark, a software engineer from Chicago, first arrived in Chengdu to lead a joint project, he prided himself on his cultural adaptability. He had read the guidebooks and even learned basic Chinese greetings. However, nothing prepared him for a dramatic and confusing Chinese dinner bill fight. On a Friday evening, Mark invited two Chinese colleagues (同事), Li Wei and Director Zhang, to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project. Since it was a casual outing, Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill), the standard and fair practice in Chicago. The meal was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm, filled with laughter and toasts to future success. As the meal wound down, Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the bill, intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share. Seeing this, Li Wei and Director Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs. What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark. Both of the colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter. And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner. “No, no, no! Mark! You are a guest in China. It’s my treat!” Li Wei insisted, his hand grabbing Mark’s arm with surprising strength. And Director Zhang, usually a quiet man, shouted loudly, “You are in Chengdu, my hometown. I should pay!” He already stuffed the money into the waiter’s hand. Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance. In America, financial independence is a virtue, and if someone pays for you, they seem to look down upon you. “Stop!” Mark said, his voice a little louder than he intended. The table went quiet. “Each pay his own way. OK?” Then he threw his share on the table heavily. His colleagues froze, looking awkward. The ride home was silent — Mark had finally followed his own way, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had lost something important. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive (强势) last night?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 主题09 小说、戏剧、诗歌、传记、文学简史、经典演讲、文学名著等 01 话题词汇佳句 02 时文热点阅读(全文翻译,词汇积累,长难句分析) 03 高考真题链接 04 话题阅读精练 分类 主题词汇 必备动词和动词短语 adapt v．(使)适合；改编，改写 appreciate vt.欣赏；感激 describe vt.描写，叙述 recite vi.& vt.背诵；朗诵 release vt．发行；发布 remark v．谈论；评论 submit vt.呈送，提交，呈递 nourish vt.培养，助长；抚养，滋养 imply vt.含有……的意思，暗示，暗指 draft n．& v．草稿；草案；起草 grasp vt.理解，领会 subscribe v．订阅，订购(报刊等) consult vt.咨询；请教；商量 constitute vt.组成，构成 enrich one’s life丰富某人的生活 broaden one’s horizons开阔某人的眼界 win the Nobel Prize in Literature获得诺贝尔文学奖 be set in以……为背景 shape one’s character塑造某人的性格 bring...to one’s attention使某人注意…… 必备名词 adaptation n．适应性；改编本 annual n．年刊 appreciation n．欣赏；鉴定，评估 character n．角色；人物 description n．描述，描写 literature n．文学 poem n．诗 poet n．诗人 poetry n．诗(总称) fable n．寓言 rhyme n．押韵 syllable n．音节 playwright n．剧作家 chapter n．章节；篇章 belief n．信仰；看法，信念；相信，信心 essay n．论文；散文 performance n．表演 theme n．主题；主旋律；题目 clue n．线索，提示；迹象 biography n．传记，传记作品 works n．作品 autobiography n．自传 science fiction 科幻小说(或影片等) abstract n．摘要 classic n．名著 masterpiece n．代表作；杰作 sense of beauty美感 release n．发行；发布 remark n．谈论；评论 sonnet n．十四行诗 thriller n．惊险小说 tragedy n．悲剧 element n．要素，基本部分 deadline n．最后期限；截止日期 imagery n．形象的描述；意象 metaphor n．暗喻，隐喻 masterwork n．杰作；名著 nonsense n．胡说，废话；荒谬的想法(看法) comprehension n．理解力；领悟力；理解练习 anecdote n．趣闻；轶事 draft n．草稿；草案；起草 myth n．神话 grasp n．理解，领会 fantasy n．幻想作品 必备形容词 annual adj.每年的 literary adj.文学的；书面的 popular adj.流行的；受欢迎的 folk adj.民间的；民俗的；普通百姓的 classic adj.经典的 precious adj.宝贵的，珍贵的 authentic adj.真正的，真实的；可信的 contradictory adj.相互矛盾的，对立的 inward adj.内心的，精神的 sparkling adj.闪闪发光的，闪烁的；起泡沫的 sensitive adj.感觉敏锐的；体贴的；敏感的；灵敏的capable adj.有能力，有才能；能力强的 universal adj.普遍的，共同的；普遍存在的 upper adj.上部的；上面的 specific adj.特定的；明确的，具体的 mean adj.吝啬的，小气的；不善良的，刻薄的 noble adj.贵族的，高贵的；崇高的；宏伟的 appealing adj.有吸引力的；恳求的 significant adj.有重要意义的，显著的 permanence n．永久，持久性 particular adj.特别的，格外的；特指的；挑剔的accomplished adj.技艺高超的，熟练的 contradictory adj.相互矛盾的；对立的 contented adj.满足的；满意的 controversial adj.有争议的；引起争议的 mushy adj.糊状的，软而稠的 佳句背诵 1．He thinks to read the original work is better than to see the film adapted from it. 他认为读原著比看由原著改编的电影更好。 2．On the one hand，reading literature books can let the students learn about the culture. 一方面，阅读文学书籍可以让学生了解文化。 3．As far as I am concerned，we can get some benefits from watching movies. 就我而言，我们可以从看电影中得到一些好处。 4．By watching some movies which are closely relative to our lives，we are able to get some lessons from the ways to solve problems in the movies. 通过观看一些与我们生活息息相关的电影，我们能够从电影里面解决问题的方法中吸取一些教训。 5．You could pretend to be someone else，as if you were a character in a play. 你可以扮成另外一个人，就像在戏里扮演一个角色。 6．I’m honoured to have been picked out to represent the whole team in the game. 我很荣幸被选出来代表全队参加比赛。 7．Behind every book is a man，behind the man is the race，and behind the race are the natural and social environments.每本书背后都有一个人，此人身后是一个族群，这个族群背后是自然和社会环境。 8．In a word，we have now reached a point where we wish to enjoy and understand literature. 总之，我们现在已经到了想要欣赏和理解文学的阶段。 9．Never have I seen a greater，or more beautiful，or a calmer or more noble thing than you，brother. 我从来没有见过比你更庞大、更美丽、更冷静或更高贵的家伙，兄弟。 10．The fish righted himself and swam off again slowly with the great tail weaving in the air. 鱼正正身子，又慢慢地游开，大尾巴在海面上绕来绕去。 《汤姆·索亚历险记》是美国文学史上的经典之作，它不仅深受孩子们的喜爱，也为成人读者提供了对童年、成长和社会的深刻思考。它开创了以儿童视角讲述故事的先河，对后来的儿童文学发展产生了深远的影响。 让我们一起来欣赏…… My favourite book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St.Petersburg，Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure，and with Becky he gets lost in a cave. And finally，they find a box of gold. My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead，he decides to go to his own funeral(葬礼).He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Tom’s best friend，and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story. The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally，it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour. Why do I think The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story，Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it！I know you’ll enjoy it，too. 语篇翻译 我最喜欢的书是马克·吐温所著的《汤姆·索亚历险记》。汤姆和他的波莉姨妈住在密苏里州圣彼得斯堡一条宁静的街道上。他是个活泼聪明的小男孩，经历了许多刺激的冒险。他和他的两个朋友哈克·费恩以及乔一起逃到了密西西比河中央的一个小岛上，在那里待了好几天。他和哈克一起去寻宝，和贝基一起在山洞里迷路了。最后，他们找到了一箱金子。 书中我最喜欢的场景是，当大家都以为汤姆死了的时候，他决定去参加自己的葬礼。他先藏起来观察了一会儿，然后突然现身。大家见到他都很惊讶，但也很高兴他还活着。 汤姆是这个故事的主人公，但还有其他重要的角色。哈克是个局外人，大家都怕他。贝基很漂亮，有着一头金发，乔是汤姆最好的朋友，而印第安·乔则是故事里的坏人。 这个故事的主题是关于孩子们的成长。它描绘了美国小镇上人们如何看待陌生人。最后，它探讨了自由、社会规则以及人们如何因不良行为受到惩罚。 为什么我认为《汤姆·索亚历险记》是一本伟大的书呢？马克·吐温在1876年写下了这个故事，但时至今日，全世界的人仍在阅读并喜爱着它。尽管这只是一个故事，但吐温用19世纪美国南方各州的日常英语来写作，所以读起来非常真实。如今，它被认为是美国文学中最伟大的作品之一。来吧，读一读！我知道你也会喜欢它的。 知识拓展 ①作者马克·吐温：原名塞缪尔·兰霍恩·克莱门斯，是美国作家、演说家。他的作品风格幽默诙谐，多以美国社会为背景，反映了当时社会的各种问题，代表作还有《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》《百万英镑》等。 ②时代背景：《汤姆·索亚历险记》以19世纪美国密西西比河沿岸的小镇生活为背景，当时美国正处于快速发展的阶段，社会发生着巨大的变化，小说展现了那个时代美国小镇的社会风貌、人们的生活方式和价值观。 ③文学地位：《汤姆·索亚历险记》是美国文学史上的经典之作，它不仅深受孩子们的喜爱，也为成人读者提供了对童年、成长和社会的深刻思考。它开创了以儿童视角讲述故事的先河，对后来的儿童文学发展产生了深远的影响。 ④影视改编：这部小说多次被改编成电影、电视剧、舞台剧等多种艺术形式，如1938年米高梅公司拍摄的电影《汤姆·索亚历险记》，让更多的人了解和喜爱这部作品。 重点单词 1._____________ n. 冒险 2. ____________adj. 活泼的 3._____________ n. 宝藏 4. _____________ n. 葬礼 5.______________ n. 人物 6.______________ adj. 漂亮的 7.______________ n. 主题 8.______________ adj. 社会的 【答案】1.adventure 2.lively 3.treasure 4.funeral 5.character 6.pretty 7.theme 8.social 派生词 1.sudden adj. 突然的→__________ adv. 突然地 2.free adj. 自由的→ __________ n. 自由 3. behave v. 行为，举止→__________ n. 行为 4. south n. 南部→__________ adj. 南部的 5. think v. 思考→ ___________ n. 想法 【答案】1.suddenly 2.freedom 3.behavior 4. southern 5. thought 重点短语 1. _____________ 逃跑 2. ____________ 迷路 3. _____________ 恐怕 【答案】1. run away with 2. get lost 3. be afraid of 长难句分析 1.

This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革). In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 32. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic. 33. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text? A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals. 34. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development? A. Observe existing regulations on it. B. Reconsider expert opinions about it. C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control. D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history. C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert. 重点单词 1． n. 潜力 adj. 有潜力的 2. v 转变 3. adj. 复杂的 4. ___________ adj. 有能力的； 5. ___________ adj. 完全必要的； 6._____________ adj. 有能力的； 7.____________ n. 特点； 8.____________ adj. 先前的： 9._____________ v. 阐明； 熟词生义 1. address n. 地址[此文指的是]v. ___________ 2. pose n. 姿势 v. 摆姿势[此文指的是]v._______ 3. process n. 过程[此文指的是] v.____________ 4.power n. 权力 [ 此文指的是] v.__________ 5.point n.点 [此文指的是]__________ 6. honor . n. 荣誉[此文指的是]v.__________ 派生词 1.astonish v. 使惊讶→________adj. 令人惊讶的 2.absorb v.吸收，理解→_____________ adj. 吸引人的 3.practice v. 练习→___________ adj. 实用的 4.thank v. 感谢→thankful adj. 幸运的， 庆幸的→_____________adv. 幸运地，庆幸地 5.understand v. 理解→_____________ adj. 可理解的 6.access n. 通道，入口→_____________ adj. 容易理解的 7.inform v. 通知，告知→_____________ adj. 提供有用信息的 8.currnet adj. 当前的，现在的→_____________ adv. 当前 9.structure n. 结构，构造→_____________ adj. 有条理的 10.educate v. 教育→_____________ adj. 受过……教育的 11. define v. 给……下定义→_____________ n. 定义 合成词 1.road+map →_____________ n. 路线图 2. forth + coming →_____________ adj. 即将到来的 3. side + line →_____________ v. 使不再发挥重要作用，使靠边 4. extinction + level →_____________ adj. 灭绝级别的 5. down + fall →_____________ n. 衰落 6. ill + intentioned →_____________ adj. 怀有恶意的 7. down + to + earth →_____________ adj. 脚踏实地的 8. out-+ standing →_____________ adj. 杰出的 重点短语 1.___________ 采取行动 2. ___________ 出现 3. ___________将……变为…… 4. ___________促成 5.by the close ___________ 6._________着手做某事 7.___________控制 8.___________ 唤醒 9.___________ 对……负责 10. _____________.使某人能够做某事 11. _____________.充满…… 12. _____________.是为某人/某事物而设计的 13._____________. 敦促某人做某事 14.make joint efforts to do sth. ___________ 15.keep sth under control ___________ 16.give a brief account of ____________ 难句剖析 She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. 分析：句子主干是：She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic; making for ... as AI是非谓语短语作 状语，其中嵌入两个which引导的 从句，都修饰先行词guide。 翻译：她从商业人士(而非学者)的实用角度出发，使得这本指南通俗易懂、内容丰富，读完之后，你会觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明。 答案： 重点单词: 1.potential 2. transform 3. complicated 4. capable 5.essential 6. competent 7. feature 8.prior 9. clarify 熟词生义：1. 处理，应付 2. 造成 3. 处理 4. 驱动 5. 观点 6. 表彰 派生词：1. astonishing 2. absorbing 3. practical 4. thankfully 5. understandable 6. accessible 7. informative 8. currently 9.structured 10.educated 11.definition 合成词：1. roadmap 2. forthcoming 3. sideline 4. extinction-level 5. downfall 6. ill-intentioned 7. down-to –earth 8. outstanding 重点短语: 1. take action 2. come in 3. translate. into.. 4. make for 5. 结束时 6. set out to do sth 7. keep control of 8. wake up 9.

At that time, the Industrial Revolution was changing the world. New machines and technologies were being invented, and people began to dream of creating life through science. Shelley’s novel, often called the first true science fiction story, told a dark and thought-provoking tale that would echo through the centuries. The book’s main character is Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist. He is obsessed with the idea of creating life from dead matter. After years of hard work, he finally succeeds in making a human-like creature. But the creature is ugly and frightening. Frankenstein is so scared that he abandons his creation. Left alone and rejected by everyone, the creature feels lonely and angry. He starts to take revenge (复仇) on Frankenstein, killing those the scientist loves most. In the end, both Frankenstein and his creature die in pain and regret. Shelley did not just write a horror story. She asked a question that is still important today: What happens when humans try to play God? When we create something new, do we have a responsibility to care for it? Upon the novel’s publication, people regarded it as a chilling fantasy. No one could have imagined that in the 21st century, we would be talking about artificial intelligence (AI), cloning technology, and robots that can think and learn. These inventions are far more advanced than Frankenstein’s creature, but they raise the same moral questions. Today, Frankenstein is more than a classic novel. It is a warning. As we develop AI and other advanced technologies, we must remember Shelley’s message: Progress without responsibility is dangerous. We should not create things just because we can. We must think about how our inventions will affect humanity and the world around us. 1．What can we know about Frankenstein from Paragraph 1? A．It was written during the Information Age. B．It was based on Mary Shelley’s personal experience as a scientist. C．It described the beautiful results of the Industrial Revolution. D．It is considered the first real science fiction work. 2．Why did Frankenstein’s creature take revenge on him? A．Because the creature wanted to become a real human. B．Because Frankenstein tried to kill the creature right after its birth. C．Because Frankenstein refused to take responsibility for his creation. D．Because the creature was born with a violent and angry nature. 3．What issue did Mary Shelley intend to explore through her novel? A．What problems will arise when humans create life without responsibility. B．What the world will be like when machines think like humans. C．How we can develop AI and cloning technologies in a safe manner. D．Why people create life even if it is dangerous. 4．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Mary Shelley’s personal life and the inspiration for her novel Frankenstein. B．Frankenstein’s plot and its long-lasting moral warning for modern technology. C．The similarities between Frankenstein’s creature and modern AI technologies. D．The impact of the Industrial Revolution on the creation of science fiction works. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是科幻小说《弗兰肯斯坦》的内容、创作背景及其对现代科技发展的警示意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Shelley’s novel, often called the first true science fiction story, told a dark and thought-provoking tale that would echo through the centuries.(雪莱的这部小说常被誉为第一部真正的科幻作品，它讲述了一个阴暗且发人深省的故事，其影响将延续数个世纪)”可知，这部小说被认为是第一部真正的科幻小说。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“But the creature is ugly and frightening. Frankenstein is so scared that he abandons his creation. Left alone and rejected by everyone, the creature feels lonely and angry.(但这个生物长得十分丑陋且令人恐惧。弗兰肯斯坦被吓得不轻，于是放弃了他所创造出来的这个生命体。孤独地被遗弃、被所有人排斥在外的这个生物感到十分孤独和愤怒)”可知，弗兰肯斯坦的怪物要对他进行报复是因为弗兰肯斯坦拒绝为他的创造物承担起责任。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“What happens when humans try to play God? When we create something new, do we have a responsibility to care for it?(当人类试图扮演上帝的角色时，会发生什么呢？当我们创造出新的事物时，我们是否有责任去照顾它呢？)”可知，她想探讨的是人类在创造生命时如果不承担责任会引发什么问题。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章前两段梳理了《弗兰肯斯坦》的主要情节，后两段则阐述了小说对现代科技（人工智能、克隆技术等）的道德警示意义。即这篇文章主要向我们讲述了《弗兰肯斯坦》的情节及其对现代科技的深远道德警示。故选B。 Passage 2 (2026届江苏省南京市鼓楼区南京市第二十九中学高三上学期第一次模拟考试英语试卷) Some famous novels show that being the side character can give us access to deeper truths and a richer appreciation of the human condition than those too busy propelling the story forward. Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle “He possesses two out of the three qualities necessary for the ideal detective. He has the power of observation and that of deduction. He is only wanting in knowledge.” There is little doubt that Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in literature. Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories now exist in over 70 languages, and Holmes is the most portrayed literary character in film and television history. As a detective, Holmes often takes the lead in solving mysteries, but the story is told from the perspective of Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes’s loyal friend and companion. There are many advantages to this. First, Holmes is odd and tends to focus on minor details. Telling a short story from his perspective would make it anything but short. Dr. Watson translates Holmes’s oddity into something less tiring for the reader. On a literary level, having the story told by the companion helps keep the reader in suspense. If we had access to everything Holmes knew, the game would be over before it was happening. By seeing the Victorian world through Watson’s eyes, not only are we provided a picture that non-detectives can comprehend, but we get to enjoy Sherlock’s exciting adventures, free of spoiler (剧透). The Great Gatsby by E. Scot Fitzgerald “Yet high over the city, our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s best-known work is a meditation on class in the supposedly egalitarian (平等主义) United States, the excesses of the 1920s, and how horrible it can be when the American Dream comes true. The story is told from the perspective of Nick Carraway, a young man who has moved to Long Island in hopes of becoming a stockbroker and cashing in on the 1920s boom. As the title suggests, the real hero of the story is his mysterious neighbor, Jay Gatsby. The difficulty of the story centers on Gatsby’s attempts to pursue Nick’s married cousin Daisy, his dreams of reliving the past, and his efforts to climb into the upper-class of American society. Nick, who is an unreliable narrator, is present for many of the main events in the story. However, as hinted at in the above quote, he considers himself an observer rather than a driver of those events. This allows us to get an outside view of the situation from somebody who admits he doesn’t entirely fit into the world he’s participating in while still being an intimate companion of those who do. The resulting commentary on the life of the American upper crust (症结) has been debated for a century. 5．If written from the perspective of Sherlock Holmes instead of Dr. John Watson, the book Sherlock Holmes would be ________. A．short and to the point B．incomprehensible and long C．full of spoiler and suspense D．interesting but too professional 6．What can be inferred from The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald? A．Nick Carraway is not just as observer but a driver of the story events. B．The real mysterious hero behind the title of the novel is Nick Garraway. C．Readers will know more about the American upper class from Jay Gatsby’s perspective. D．The unreliable narrator prevents readers grasping the harms of pursuing the American Dream. 7．Quotes from Sherlock Holmes and The Great Gatsby given below the title respectively in order to ________. A．stick to the traditional pattern of a famous novel B．indicate the side character’s role as the narrator C．remind readers of the theme and plot of the novels D．explain the main character’s neglect of deep truths 8．What message does the author want to convey through the two books mentioned? A．Side characters in novels are usually dismissed as unimportant. B．Classical novels must have quotes that have enduring power among readers. C．Stories told from the most important character’s perspective are still the mainstream. D．Individual, or historical eras can be deeply explored from a unique sideline perspective. 【答案】5．B 6．A 7．B 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了《福尔摩斯》和《了不起的盖茨比》通过配角视角，能深入探索人性或时代的道理。 5．细节理解题。根据Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle部分第四段“First, Holmes is odd and tends to focus on minor details. Telling a short story from his perspective would make it anything but short. Dr. Watson translates Holmes’s oddity into something less tiring for the reader. (首先，福尔摩斯很古怪，倾向于关注小细节。从他的角度讲一个短篇故事，那这个故事绝不会短。华生医生把福尔摩斯的古怪之处转化成让读者不那么疲惫的内容)”可知，如果从福尔摩斯而不是华生医生的角度来写《福尔摩斯探案集》，这本书会让人难以理解且篇幅很长。故选B项。 6．推理判断题。根据The Great Gatsby by E. Scot Fitzgerald部分第三段“Nick, who is an unreliable narrator, is present for many of the main events in the story. However, as hinted at in the above quote, he considers himself an observer rather than a driver of those events.(尼克是一个不可靠的叙述者，在故事中的许多主要事件中都出现了。然而，正如上面引用的暗示，他认为自己是一个观察者，而不是这些事件的驱动者)”以及最后一段“This allows us to get an outside view of the situation from somebody who admits he doesn’t entirely fit into the world he’s participating in while still being an intimate companion of those who do.(这使得我们能够从一个人那里获得对局势的外部视角 —— 这个人承认自己并不完全融入他所参与的世界，但同时仍是那些真正融入其中的人的亲密伙伴)”可知，Nick Garraway在故事中的很多主要事件中都出现了，他不仅仅是观察者，同时也是故事事件的驱动者。故选A项。 7．推理判断题。根据Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle部分第三段“As a detective, Holmes often takes the lead in solving mysteries, but the story is told from the perspective of Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes’s loyal friend and companion. (作为一名侦探，福尔摩斯经常在解开谜团中起主导作用，但故事是从福尔摩斯忠诚的朋友和伙伴约翰·H·华生医生的角度讲述的)”以及The Great Gatsby by E. Scot Fitzgerald部分第二段“The story is told from the perspective of Nick Carraway (故事是从Nick Carraway的角度讲述的)”可知，引用《福尔摩斯探案集》和《了不起的盖茨比》中的话是为了表明次要角色作为叙述者的作用。故选B项。 8．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some famous novels show that being the side character can give us access to deeper truths and a richer appreciation of the human condition than those too busy propelling the story forward. (一些著名小说表明，与那些忙于推动故事发展的人相比，作为次要角色能让我们接触到更深刻的真理，对人类状况有更丰富的理解)”以及后文对《福尔摩斯探案集》和《了不起的盖茨比》的分析可知，作者想通过这两本书传达的信息是，通过配角的旁观视角可深入探讨时代背景与人性本质。故选D项。 阅读七选五 Passage 3 (2025-2026学年云南省曲靖市罗平县第一中学高三上学期期末考试英语试题) Literature holds great importance in shaping our thoughts and ideas.

They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn’t come along, they would still be there 1 . But man did come along, farmed the land, 2 the wolves killing their livestock (家畜) and so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been theirs. Wolves are not 3 in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always 4 to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? “What big teeth you’ve got, Grandmother?” she says, and the wolf, disguised (伪装) as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!” If you really want to see how English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the 5 ! “A wolf in sheep’s clothing” is not a pleasant person and a “wolf-whistle” is not a pleasant sound! Yet wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don’t 6 humans; indeed, they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans 7 themselves. Far from wolf music being 8 , the howl of the wolf — the cry of the whole pack — as the full moon rises in a star-bright sky, is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do 9 , their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective. But the 10 remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only 11 do writers treat them nicely; 12 , a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome. And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the wolf on the mountain, out in the wilderness, running over the Siberian wastes, represents a state of natural 13 that we do not know and can never obtain, even though we 14 it in our hearts.

Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of the 1 （hard) poems to explain and translate. In the beginning of the poem, the poet looks at his zither and recalls the death of his beloved wife. The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, 2 (be) mentioned to show his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, 3 (suggest) the sorrow and depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything 4 happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient 5 (myth) and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldn’t distinguish dream 6 reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes a cuckoo and always cries; mermaid’s tears become pearl and vapor of jade from Lantian County can be seen in the sunlight. The first three stories all create 7 sad atmosphere. Though the last legend describes a beautiful scene, it’s hard 8 (reach), implicating the hopelessness. Actually, the four stories he chose indicate Li’s 9 (satisfy) with his life. In the end, the poet directly expresses his point. He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he 10 (give) the chance to live those years again. 【答案】1．hardest 2．is 3．suggesting 4．that 5．myths 6．from 7．a 8．to reach. 9．dissatisfaction 10．were/was given 【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了唐代诗人李商隐的《锦瑟》这首诗。 1．考查形容词最高级。句意：由于其丰富的意象，这首诗被认为是最难解释和翻译的诗歌之一。固定短语“one of the +形容词最高级+复数名词”意为：最……的……之一。所以此处应填hardest。 2．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：作者提到琴弦的数量来表明他的感受，这些数量可能并不是实际的数量。这里要解释诗歌第一句“锦瑟无端五十弦”的含义，描述诗歌作品中的事情应该用一般现在时；这个句子的主语是the big number，是单数形式，所以谓语动词也应该用单数形式。故填is。 3．考查现在分词。句意：由于琴弦太多，他的古筝产生了复杂的音调，暗示着诗人所感受到的悲伤和压抑。句子的谓语动词是creates，所以此空应填非谓语动词，suggest与主语his zither是主动关系，所以应填现在分词做伴随状语。故填suggesting。 4．考查定语从句的关系代词。句意：现实如此残酷，他希望所发生的一切都是不真实的。先行词是everything（不定代词），且在从句中做主语，当定语从句的先行词是不定代词且从句缺主语或宾语时，定语从句只能由that引导。故填that。 5．考查名词的数。句意：在这一部分中，他使用了四个中国古代神话传说。myth是可数名词，前面有four修饰，故填myths。 6．考查固定短语。句意：哲学家庄子梦想成为一只蝴蝶，不能区分梦境和现实。固定短语distinguish A from B 意为：区分A和B。故填from。 7．考查冠词。句意：前三个故事都营造了一种悲伤的气氛。atmosphere意为：气氛，氛围，是可数名词。此处泛指“一种悲伤的气氛”，应使用不定冠词，sad是以辅音音素开头的词，应使用a。故填a。 8．考查不定式。句意：最后一个传说虽然描述了一个美丽的场景，但它很难触及，暗示了绝望。在“名词/代词）+be easy/hard/fit等形容词+不定式结构”中，不定式用主动形式表达被动含义，这时可以看成省略了动词逻辑主语for us, for me, for him等。此处表达尽管场景美丽，但是对于诗人来说是很难达到的。故填to reach。 9．考查名词。句意：事实上，李所选择的四个故事表明了他对自己生活的不满。根据提示词satisfy（满意，满足），再结合实际情况可知，诗人对自己的生活并不满意。空前有Li's这个所有格形式，所以本空应该填名词形式。故填dissatisfaction。 10．考查动词的语态和虚拟语气的时态。句意：他写下了自己对逝去岁月的遗憾，以及即使有机会再活一次，也无法改变任何事情的无奈。从语态来说，句子的主语是he，与give之间是被动关系；从时态来讲，如果把even if引导的从句当让步状语从句，则从句的时态不用虚拟，按照实际情况用一般过去时即可。如果把even if引导的从句当虚拟条件状语从句，则从句的谓语动词需用“were式或were to+不定式”。本文在第一段中说《锦瑟》这首诗是最难解释和翻译的诗歌之一，所以本文作者对于诗歌内容所传递的信息也不能完全确定。即，作者也不能确定李商隐在诗歌中所描述的情况到底是确有其事还是虚拟假设，故填were/was given。 读后续写 Passage 8 When Mark, a software engineer from Chicago, first arrived in Chengdu to lead a joint project, he prided himself on his cultural adaptability. He had read the guidebooks and even learned basic Chinese greetings. However, nothing prepared him for a dramatic and confusing Chinese dinner bill fight. On a Friday evening, Mark invited two Chinese colleagues (同事), Li Wei and Director Zhang, to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project. Since it was a casual outing, Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill), the standard and fair practice in Chicago. The meal was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm, filled with laughter and toasts to future success. As the meal wound down, Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the bill, intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share. Seeing this, Li Wei and Director Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs. What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark. Both of the colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter. And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner. “No, no, no! Mark! You are a guest in China. It’s my treat!” Li Wei insisted, his hand grabbing Mark’s arm with surprising strength. And Director Zhang, usually a quiet man, shouted loudly, “You are in Chengdu, my hometown. I should pay!” He already stuffed the money into the waiter’s hand. Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance. In America, financial independence is a virtue, and if someone pays for you, they seem to look down upon you. “Stop!” Mark said, his voice a little louder than he intended. The table went quiet. “Each pay his own way. OK?” Then he threw his share on the table heavily. His colleagues froze, looking awkward. The ride home was silent — Mark had finally followed his own way, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had lost something important. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive (强势) last night?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive last night?” Li Wei smiled and explained gently that treating guests was a deep-rooted Chinese tradition, a way to show respect, hospitality and sincerity to friends. “We didn’t mean to be aggressive. It’s our way of valuing the friendship with you,” he added softly. Mark suddenly realized it was a cultural misunderstanding, not disrespect or looking down on him. He felt guilty and apologized for his rudeness the night before. Li Wei patted his shoulder warmly, saying it was no big deal and they all understood his habit. Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. This time, Mark planned ahead. After the delicious meal, he playfully blocked Li Wei and Director Zhang before they could stand up, saying with a smile, “As your friend and colleague, let me treat you today — it’s my turn to show my sincerity!” The two laughed warmly and no longer insisted. They chatted happily over tea, with no awkwardness left. Mark deeply realized that respecting local customs was the key to building true cross-cultural bonds. The dinner ended with cheerful laughter, a beautiful blend of Eastern and Western cultures. 【导语】本文以文化差异为线索，讲述了来自芝加哥的软件工程师马克到成都主持联合项目，邀请同事李伟和张主任吃火锅庆祝项目完成，因习惯AA制，与坚持请客的同事产生冲突，虽强行AA却心生失落的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“第二天，马克问李伟：‘你和张主任昨晚为什么那么强势？’”可知，本段可聚焦文化误解的深度化解，通过李伟阐释“请客是根深蒂固的传统，是表达尊重、好客与真诚的方式”，补充文化内涵；再以马克心生愧疚、主动道歉，李伟暖心释怀的细节，强化情感转折，彻底消除前一晚的尴尬，为下文跨文化融合铺垫，紧扣原文核心冲突。 ② 由第二段首句“几周后，为庆祝另一个项目完工，三人一起去吃饺子。”可知，本段围绕跨文化融合与情谊深化展开，通过马克“提前谋划、俏皮阻止同事、主动请客并表达诚意”的细节，体现他对中式习俗的主动接纳与尊重；以“餐后愉快闲聊、无任何尴尬”的场景，凸显理解带来的和谐，最终点明“尊重习俗是跨文化情谊的关键”，完成从“冲突”到“交融”的主题升华。 2. 续写线索：马克主动询问原因——李伟阐释中式请客的深层文化内涵——马克愧疚道歉——李伟暖心释怀、误会消解——再次聚餐前马克提前谋划——主动请客表达诚意——同事欣然接受、氛围融洽——领悟跨文化尊重的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类①解释：explain/clarify②道歉：apologize/make an apology③阻止：block/prevent④珍视：value/cherish情感类 ①温和地：gently/mildly②愉快的：cheerful/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1]Li Wei smiled and explained gently that treating guests was a deep-rooted Chinese tradition, a way to show respect, hospitality and sincerity to friends.(运用that引导宾语从句和动名词短语作主语) [高分句型2]Mark deeply realized that respecting local customs was the key to building true cross-cultural bonds.(运用that引导宾语从句和动名词短语作宾语) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
