In addition, many study participants even preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of celebrated writers. Researchers asked AI to generate poems in the style of well-known authors like Walt Whitman, T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, and William Shakespeare. Then, they asked 1,634 participants to read ten poems — five written by a human poet, and five written by the chatbot in the style of that same human poet — and identify which poems were fake and which were real. The results? Participants guessed correctly around 46 percent of the time — barely better than by chance. In a second experiment, another group of participants rated poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality. Some were told whether the poem was written by AI or a human, while others were not. As a result, those who believed they were reading human-written poems rated them higher than those who believed they were reading AI-created poems — regardless of what they were actually reading. But the team also uncovered a surprise: The participants who weren’t told about authorship actually gave higher ratings, on average, to AI-produced poems. Why do readers seem to prefer AI-created poetry? The researchers suggest that AI poems may be more straightforward to understand. Because AI-produced poems cannot match the complexity of human-authored verse (韵文), they may communicate themes and emotions more clearly to non-expert readers. Beyond the themes and emotions, AI poems were also simpler in terms of their overall form and style. The study’s findings seem to confirm many people’s concerns that AI could replace human artists. Poet Dorothea Lasky says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-created poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” she says. “If people favored AI poems, then that, to me, is beautiful. I feel there is room for all poets-even robot poets.” 1．What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Copy. B．Improve. C．Criticize. D．Challenge. 2．What was a surprising result of the second experiment? A．Participants were able to identify AI-produced poetry correctly. B．Participants unaware of the authorship rated AI poems higher. C．Participants rated poems thought to be human-written lower. D．Participants found AI-created poems less emotional. 3．Why are AI poems easier to read? A．They include shared experiences. B．They feature a conversational tone. C．They are direct in both form and content. D．They use pleasant rhythms and lively imagery. 4．How does Dorothea Lasky look at the study’s findings? A．She is angry at readers preferences. B．She sees value in AI-created poetry. C．She hopes for more variety in human poetry. D．She believes human artists cannot be replaced. 二、七选五 （24-25高二下·全国·课后作业）When it comes to new social favorites, a live-action role-playing game or script murder can be called a social utopia for young people today. 5 It has built a multi-dimensional space for social interaction, reasoning and emotional resonance. 6 Students on campus form groups to play campus-themed scripts, recalling their youth stories in youth narratives; white-collar workers in cities choose hardcore reasoning scripts,releasing work pressure in logical mazes. Emotional scripts help strangers break the ice quickly, while horror scripts bring people closer together through screams. These ever-changing script types adapt to the social needs of different groups of people. Script murder is also a sharp tool for breaking the ice in social interactions. Strangers sit around the table, and under the guidance of character cards, some become literati of the Republic of China, some become knights of the Jianghu, and communicate naturally as the plot progresses. As clue card: are passed around, the awkwardness of silence is broken, and laughter and discussions intertwined, making strangers quickly become familiar. 7 Today’s script murder stores show diversified development. Some create ancient-style real scenes, allowing players to experience the grievances (恩怨) of the Jianghu immersively in pavilions and towers; some launch holographic projections (全息投影), allowing players to experience the sci-fi world through light and shadow changes. 8 The professional guidance of the DM (主持人) still helps players immerse themselves in the plot better; high-quality scripts always lay a solid foundation for the experience. 9 Whether you are a logic lover who is keen on reasoning or an empath (共情者) who prefers emotions, every time you open a script, you step into a new social dimension full of surprises and fates. A．But some cores remain unchanged. B．Future developments may require government regulation. C．Traditional offline games are losing their appeal gradually. D．From campus to urban areas, script murder has set off an immersive craze. E．The charm of script murder lies in its ability to create new social possibilities. F．Even people with social anxiety can speak freely under the cover of their roles. G．However, what it has brought injust a few years is far more than entertainment experience. 三、语法填空 （25-26高二下·江西赣州·月考）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Poetry artfully combines sounds, words and grammar, making it delightful to read aloud. Drawing on colors, emotions and vivid images 1 (paint) lively mental pictures for readers, it touches hearts across ages and borders. As a precious global cultural treasure, poetry has evolved diverse styles. Chinese classical poetry attaches great importance to 2 (harmony) and rhythmic structures. It follows fixed lines and character counts, creating 3 unique rhythm and graceful rhyme. Tang poems by Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei enjoyed immense popularity. Du Fu’s diverse themes made his works stand out, 4 (reflect) his profound thoughts and sincere feelings. However, as time went by, it was the new wave of literary reform in the early 20th century 5 bravely discarded old rules and eventually 6 (break) fixed conventions in the literary innovation era. Most modern poems 7   (compose) in free verse have gained wide recognition. They focus either on innovative forms 8 on cross-cultural expression. With its unique charm, Chinese poetry has gradually drawn global attention, and Ezra Pound introduced classical Chinese poems to Western readers in early 1900s Europe. Ultimately, poetry acts as a timeless bridge linking the East and West, urging people to adopt a broad and inclusive mindset toward diverse civilizations. It conveys shared 9 (interact) beyond mere words and national borders. As such a precious literary treasure, it 10 (influence) human society deeply throughout the long course of history and will undoubtedly maintain its glamour for generations to come. 四、思维提升——写作表达 从第56页的四首诗（Wind on the Hill, Dream, A Match, The Arrow and the Song, Night）中任选一首，按照第57页示例的格式，写一篇80-100词的简短评论。要求包含以下要点： 1. 诗歌的基本信息（标题、作者、行数、韵脚） 2. 诗中的意象（images）及其效果 3. 诗歌的主题和给你的启示 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ $人教版选择性必修第三册Unit 5 Poems Using Language（导学案） 1.掌握本单元Using Language部分的重点单词、短语和核心语法结构； √单词：deadline, contest, polish, string, theme, image, tone, rhetorical √短语：talk about, enter a contest, polish one's writing, hold fast to, read aloud, paint a picture, rhetorical devices √句型：①What kind of poem are you going to write? ②How will you inspire yourself...? ③When I read the poem aloud I can hear... ④The poem is very short with only... 2.熟练运用单词完成词汇变形、句子填空等基础语言运用任务，夯实词汇拼写、词性转换与固定搭配能力； 3.掌握诗歌鉴赏的基本方法（主题、意象、韵律、情感、修辞），能够运用所学分析诗歌并撰写简短评论； 4.能够尝试创作简单的英文诗歌（如五行诗、清单诗等），培养创造性思维和语言表达能力。 1、 基础词汇记忆 1. 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.______ /drɑːft/n. 草稿；草案 v. 起草；草拟 2.______ /ˈpɒlɪʃ/v. 润色；抛光 n. 抛光剂；擦亮剂 3.______ /rɪˈvaɪz/v. 修改；修订；复习 4.______ /ˈvɪvɪd/adj. 生动的；逼真的；鲜明的 5.______ /ˈɪmɪdʒəri/n. 意象；形象化描述 6.______ /ˈmetəfə(r)/n. 暗喻；隐喻 7.______ /ˈsɪməli/n. 明喻 8.______ /ˈænəlaɪz/v. 分析；剖析 9.______ /əˈpriːʃieɪt/v. 欣赏；赏识；感激 10.______ /ˈkɒment/v. & n. 评论；发表意见 11.______ /kənˈveɪ/v. 传达；传递；表达 12.______ /ˈfɪɡə(r)/n. 人物；数字；修辞格 13.______ /ɪnˈspaɪə(r)/v. 启发；鼓舞；赋予灵感 14.______ /ˈtɪpɪkl/adj. 典型的；特有的；有代表性的 15.______ /spəˈsɪfɪk/adj. 具体的；明确的；特定的 【答案】 1.draft 2. polish 3. revise 4. vivid 5. imagery 6. metaphor 7. simile 8. analyse 9. appreciate 10. comment 11. convey 12. figure 13. inspire 14. typical 15. specific 二、词块记忆 1. 1.参加诗歌比赛 __________________ 2.润色作品 __________________ 3.继续好好干 __________________ 4.尽最大努力 __________________ 5.放慢速度朗读 __________________ 6.强调节奏 __________________ 7.倾注情感 __________________ 8.紧紧抓住梦想 __________________ 9.贫瘠的土地 __________________ 10.从……获得灵感 __________________ 11.朝……射击 __________________ 12.在空中 __________________ 13.寻找 __________________ 14.在……的心中 __________________ 15.日落西山 __________________ 【答案】 1.enter a poetry contest; 2. polish one’s writing; 3. keep up the good work; 4. do one’s best / give it one’s best shot; 5. start slowly; 6. emphasise the rhythm; 7. pour out one’s feelings; 8. hold fast to dreams; 9. a barren field; 10. take inspiration from; 11. shoot at; 12. into the air; 13. seek for; 14. in the heart of; 15. the sun descending 【知识梳理 1】praise and encourage 赞扬与鼓励的表达 表达 中文 That’s a good idea. 好主意。 That’s a good effort. 做得不错。 What a great idea! 多棒的主意啊！ Keep up the good work. 继续好好干。 I think that’s a fantastic idea. 我觉得这主意太棒了。 Come on, you can do it. 加油，你能行。 I like that idea. 我喜欢这个想法。 You are doing well. 你做得很好。 Your ideas sound very encouraging to me. 你的想法很鼓舞我。 Do your best. 尽力而为。 Give it your best shot. 全力以赴。 【即学即练】 根据情景选择恰当的鼓励语： 1.你的朋友犹豫是否参加诗歌比赛，你想鼓励他勇敢尝试，可以说：“________________________.” 2.同学连续几周认真修改诗歌，你对他说：“________________________.” 【答案】 1.Come on, you can do it. / Give it your best shot. 2.Keep up the good work. / You are doing well. 【知识梳理 2】But if I stopped holding the string of my kite, it would blow with the wind.

In addition, many study participants even preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of celebrated writers. Researchers asked AI to generate poems in the style of well-known authors like Walt Whitman, T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, and William Shakespeare. Then, they asked 1,634 participants to read ten poems — five written by a human poet, and five written by the chatbot in the style of that same human poet — and identify which poems were fake and which were real. The results? Participants guessed correctly around 46 percent of the time — barely better than by chance. In a second experiment, another group of participants rated poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality. Some were told whether the poem was written by AI or a human, while others were not. As a result, those who believed they were reading human-written poems rated them higher than those who believed they were reading AI-created poems — regardless of what they were actually reading. But the team also uncovered a surprise: The participants who weren’t told about authorship actually gave higher ratings, on average, to AI-produced poems. Why do readers seem to prefer AI-created poetry? The researchers suggest that AI poems may be more straightforward to understand. Because AI-produced poems cannot match the complexity of human-authored verse (韵文), they may communicate themes and emotions more clearly to non-expert readers. Beyond the themes and emotions, AI poems were also simpler in terms of their overall form and style. The study’s findings seem to confirm many people’s concerns that AI could replace human artists. Poet Dorothea Lasky says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-created poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” she says. “If people favored AI poems, then that, to me, is beautiful. I feel there is room for all poets-even robot poets.” 1．What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Copy. B．Improve. C．Criticize. D．Challenge. 2．What was a surprising result of the second experiment? A．Participants were able to identify AI-produced poetry correctly. B．Participants unaware of the authorship rated AI poems higher. C．Participants rated poems thought to be human-written lower. D．Participants found AI-created poems less emotional. 3．Why are AI poems easier to read? A．They include shared experiences. B．They feature a conversational tone. C．They are direct in both form and content. D．They use pleasant rhythms and lively imagery. 4．How does Dorothea Lasky look at the study’s findings? A．She is angry at readers preferences. B．She sees value in AI-created poetry. C．She hopes for more variety in human poetry. D．She believes human artists cannot be replaced. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究显示 AI 能模仿著名诗人的风格，骗过多数读者，甚至有人更喜欢 AI 诗歌。AI 诗歌更简单易懂，诗人 Dorothea Lasky 认为 AI 诗歌也有其存在价值。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“AI chatbots can mimic the style of famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to trick many human readers(人工智能聊天机器人能够mimic像威廉·莎士比亚这样的著名诗人的风格，其程度之高足以让许多人类读者误以为是出自原作者之手)”可知，人工智能创作的诗歌足以让许多人类读者误以为是出自原作者之手，说明其模仿著名诗人的风格很成功，故划线词意思是“模仿”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“But the team also uncovered a surprise: The participants who weren’t told about authorship actually gave higher ratings, on average, to AI-produced poems.(但该团队还意外发现了一件事：那些未被告知作者身份的参与者，实际上对人工智能创作的诗歌给出的评分平均值要更高一些)”可知，第二个实验的意外结果是不清楚作者身份的参与者对人工智能创作的诗歌评价更高。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Because AI-produced poems cannot match the complexity of human-authored verse (韵文), they may communicate themes and emotions more clearly to non-expert readers. Beyond the themes and emotions, AI poems were also simpler in terms of their overall form and style.(因为由人工智能生成的诗歌无法与人类创作的韵文达到同样的复杂程度，所以它们在向非专业人士传达主题和情感方面可能更为清晰。除此之外，从整体形式和风格来看，人工智能创作的诗歌也更为简单)”可知，人工智能创作的诗歌更容易让人理解因为它们在形式和内容上都直白清晰。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Poet Dorothea Lasky says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-created poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” she says. “If people favored AI poems, then that, to me, is beautiful. I feel there is room for all poets-even robot poets.”(诗人多罗泰娅·拉斯基表示，读者喜欢由人工智能创作的诗歌并不一定是件坏事。她说道：“诗歌永远都是必要的。”“如果人们偏爱人工智能创作的诗歌，那在我看来这就是很美好的事情。我觉得即便是机器人诗人，也有其存在的空间。”)”可知，多罗泰娅·拉斯基认为人工智能创作的诗歌具有价值。故选B。 二、七选五 （24-25高二下·全国·课后作业）When it comes to new social favorites, a live-action role-playing game or script murder can be called a social utopia for young people today. 5 It has built a multi-dimensional space for social interaction, reasoning and emotional resonance. 6 Students on campus form groups to play campus-themed scripts, recalling their youth stories in youth narratives; white-collar workers in cities choose hardcore reasoning scripts,releasing work pressure in logical mazes. Emotional scripts help strangers break the ice quickly, while horror scripts bring people closer together through screams. These ever-changing script types adapt to the social needs of different groups of people. Script murder is also a sharp tool for breaking the ice in social interactions. Strangers sit around the table, and under the guidance of character cards, some become literati of the Republic of China, some become knights of the Jianghu, and communicate naturally as the plot progresses. As clue card: are passed around, the awkwardness of silence is broken, and laughter and discussions intertwined, making strangers quickly become familiar. 7 Today’s script murder stores show diversified development.

Drawing on colors, emotions and vivid images 1 (paint) lively mental pictures for readers, it touches hearts across ages and borders. As a precious global cultural treasure, poetry has evolved diverse styles. Chinese classical poetry attaches great importance to 2 (harmony) and rhythmic structures. It follows fixed lines and character counts, creating 3 unique rhythm and graceful rhyme. Tang poems by Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei enjoyed immense popularity. Du Fu’s diverse themes made his works stand out, 4 (reflect) his profound thoughts and sincere feelings. However, as time went by, it was the new wave of literary reform in the early 20th century 5 bravely discarded old rules and eventually 6 (break) fixed conventions in the literary innovation era. Most modern poems 7   (compose) in free verse have gained wide recognition. They focus either on innovative forms 8 on cross-cultural expression. With its unique charm, Chinese poetry has gradually drawn global attention, and Ezra Pound introduced classical Chinese poems to Western readers in early 1900s Europe. Ultimately, poetry acts as a timeless bridge linking the East and West, urging people to adopt a broad and inclusive mindset toward diverse civilizations. It conveys shared 9 (interact) beyond mere words and national borders. As such a precious literary treasure, it 10 (influence) human society deeply throughout the long course of history and will undoubtedly maintain its glamour for generations to come. 【答案】 1．to paint 2．harmonious 3．a 4．reflecting 5．that 6．broke 7．composed 8．or 9．interaction 10．has influenced 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了诗歌的艺术特点、中国诗歌的发展历程（古典诗与现代诗）及其作为东西方桥梁的重要意义。 1．考查非谓语动词。句意：诗歌利用色彩、情感和生动的意象为读者描绘生动的心理画面，触动着各个年龄和国家的心灵。固定结构 draw on sth. to do sth. 表示“借助……来做某事”，不定式在句中作目的状语。故填to paint。 2．考查名词。句意：中国古典诗歌非常重视和谐的节奏结构。此处和下文rhythmic并列作定语修饰structures，应用形容词harmonious“和谐的”。故填harmonious。 3．考查冠词。句意：它遵循固定的行数和字数，创造出独特的节奏和优美的韵律。rhythm为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，此处表示“一种独特的节奏”，为泛指，且unique是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 4．考查非谓语动词。句意：杜甫的主题多样，使其作品脱颖而出，体现了他深刻的思想和真挚的情感。此处为非谓语动词作状语，主语Du Fu’s diverse themes与reflect之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填reflecting。 5．考查强调句。句意：然而，随着时间的推移，正是20世纪初的文学改革新浪潮，勇敢地抛弃了旧规则，并最终在文学创新时代打破了固定的传统。此处为强调句，结构为It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他部分，被强调部分为the new wave of literary reform in the early 20th century（物），所以用that。故填that。 6．考查动词时态。句意：然而，随着时间的推移，正是20世纪初的文学改革新浪潮，勇敢地抛弃了旧规则，并最终在文学创新时代打破了固定的传统。此处与discarded并列作谓语动词，根据时间状语in the early 20th century可知，应用一般过去时，break的过去式为broke。故填broke。 7．考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数以自由诗形式创作的现代诗获得了广泛认可。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，most modern poems与compose之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词形式。故填composed。 8．考查固定搭配。句意：它们要么注重创新形式，要么注重跨文化表达。此处为固定搭配either...or...，表示“要么……要么……”。故填or。 9．考查名词。句意：它传递的不仅仅是语言和国界之外的共同互动。此处作conveys的宾语，应用名词interaction。故填interaction。 10．考查动词时态。句意：作为这样一份珍贵的文学瑰宝，它在漫长的历史进程中深刻地影响了人类社会，并无疑将在未来几代人中保持其魅力。此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语throughout the long course of history可知，此处强调动作从过去持续到现在并对现在产生影响，应用现在完成时，主语it是第三人称单数，所以用has influenced。故填has influenced。 四、思维提升——写作表达 从第56页的四首诗（Wind on the Hill, Dream, A Match, The Arrow and the Song, Night）中任选一首，按照第57页示例的格式，写一篇80-100词的简短评论。要求包含以下要点： 1. 诗歌的基本信息（标题、作者、行数、韵脚） 2. 诗中的意象（images）及其效果 3. 诗歌的主题和给你的启示 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】（以 Dream 为例） The poem Dream by Langston Hughes is very short with only 8 lines. When I read the poem aloud I can hear that the ends of the second and fourth sentences rhyme—"die" and "fly". The last words from the sixth and eighth sentences also rhyme—"go" and "snow". When I close my eyes, I can see different images from the poem. For example, I can see a broken-winged bird that cannot fly and a barren field frozen with snow. These images show how sad life would be without dreams. I think the poet is giving us advice. He wants us to keep dreaming, because life is much better when we have dreams and something to look forward to. $
