Chinese short dramas-also known as “vertical shorts” or “mini TV series” — are becoming more popular in the global market. By the end of February 2024, the US emerged as a key market for these dramas. According to Sensor Tower, a mobile application data analysis company, Chinese platforms like ReelShort, DramaBox and GoodShort generated 69, 57 and 66 percent of their total earnings from the US market, respectively. Despite their market potential, Chinese short dramas still face challenges in global expansion, including cultural differences and language barriers. Here are some strategies I believe could help them succeed in Western markets. First, they need to localize their content more effectively. This means working with native speakers and professionals from the target country. I’ve encountered many translated scripts (剧本) that lack natural expressions and logical flow, often the result of machine translation. Additionally, since most Chinese short dramas are aimed at women, it’s essential to involve more women writers, directors and producers. With a growing audience of women over 35, it’s important to show women in leadership roles and tell stories that reflect their real-life experiences and ambitions, avoiding cliched (老套的) Cinderella-style rescue stories. Short dramas can also attract more young audiences by partnering with fashion and lifestyle brands. Compared to traditional films that rely on ticket sales and product placement, Chinese short dramas use a pay-to-view model, allowing investors to see significant returns. I’ve noticed that overseas audiences are often willing to spend $40 —100 (about 292 — 730 yuan) to watch high-quality series on their mobile devices. These platforms serve people who enjoy watching content during daily travel or in their free time. With younger generations using social media more for entertainment, this trend is likely to grow, making short dramas a smart and long-term investment. I also believe AI will play a crucial role in expanding short drama story ideas. AI can assist with pre-production, planning and scheduling, which is especially valuable for low-budget projects. Generative AI can create backgrounds, impressive wide-angle scenes with crowds and special effects, starting a new era of digital content creation that crosses borders. While challenges remain, they also present opportunities for investors seeking high returns. By strengthening international collaboration (合作), promoting cultural exchange and using up AI technology to come up with new kinds of stories, I believe Chinese short dramas can succeed in overseas markets. 46. What challenge do Chinese short dramas face in global markets? A. High production expenses. B. Culture and language barriers. C. Outdated marketing strategies. D. Limited interest in their content. 47. Why does the author emphasize the involvement of women creators in short dramas? A. To attract new age groups. B. To ensure diverse storytelling. C. To meet the target audience’s needs. D. To balance the gender ratio of creators. 48. How do short dramas profit differently from traditional films? A. By selling branded merchandise. B. By charging a pay-to-view fee. C. By partnering with fashion brands. D. By relying on mobile advertisements. 49. According to the author, what role does AI play in short drama production? A. Improving script translations. B. Adding more entertainment elements. C. Designing characters and costumes. D. Enhancing story creation and special effects. 50. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Strategies for Short Drama to succeed in Western Markets B. Rise of Chinese Short Dramas in the Western markets C. AI: Key to Short Drama’s Success in Foreign Markets D. Short Dramas: Global Achievements & Obstacles 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. B 49. D 50.

Generative AI can create backgrounds, impressive wide-angle scenes with crowds and special effects, starting a new era of digital content creation that crosses borders.(人工智能可以协助前期制作、规划和安排，这对低预算项目尤其有价值。生成式人工智能可以创建背景、令人印象深刻的人群广角场景和特效，开启了一个跨文化的数字内容创作新时代)”可知，人工智能在短剧制作中的作用是增强故事创作和特效。故选D。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第二段第二句“Here are some strategies I believe could help them succeed in Western markets.(以下是一些我认为可以帮助它们在西方市场取得成功的策略)”以及后文分别从内容本土化、与时尚品牌合作、利用人工智能等方面阐述了中国短剧在西方市场取得成功的策略。所以A项“Strategies for Short Drama to succeed in Western Markets(短剧在西方市场取得成功的策略)”符合语境。故选A。 C Do your children hate going to school? If you struggle to get your child to go to school in the morning every day, don’t blame them - it could be your fault. Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. It’s really unexpected, isn’t it? After a lot of research, the researchers found that 40 to 50 percent of the differences in children’s motivation to learn could be explained by their genetic inheritance (遗传) from their parents. A group of researchers from Goldsmiths University of London, and Ohio State University in the US studied more than 13,000 twins aged nine to sixteen from six countries, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Germany,Russia and the US. Before the study, the researchers said they believed that the twins’ shared environment-elements such as the teachers and the family that they had in common - would be a larger factor than genetics. However, after the research, they found that genetics and non-shared-environment factors had the largest effect on the children’s motivation to learn. Moreover, the shared environment had small impact. “Accordingly, we should not jump to the conclusion that a poor teacher or a child is to blame for a lack of motivation in the classroom,” the researchers said. “We had pretty consistent findings across these different countries with their different educational systems and different cultures. It’s surprising. We found that personality differences that people inherit have a major impact on motivation. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to encourage and inspire students, but we have to deal with the reality of why they are different.” said Professor Stephen Petrill, of Ohio State University. The research shows there is not a specific gene for how much children enjoy learning and a complex process is suggested, involving many genes and gene-environment interactions that help influence children’s motivation to learn. 51. What would be the subject of the study mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. How to persuade children to go to school? B. Who is to blame for children’s faults? C. How to help children to get rid of bad habits? D. What can impact on children’s motivation to learn? 52. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The researchers once had the problem of hating school. B. The motivation to learn was determined by a specific gene. C. Half of the twins’ differences related to the shared environment. D. The living environment slightly affects a person’s motivation to learn. 53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. The researchers were astonished at the study’s results. B. 13,000 twins and their parents were studied together. C. The genetic inheritance has the most influence on children’s motivation to learn. D. The result of the study was the same as the researchers thought to be. 54. According to Stephen Petrill, we can know that ______. A. teachers are to blame for students’ poor motivation B. we should use various ways to get children inspired C. personality differences have relationship with motivation D. the influences of education systems and cultures weren’t studied 55. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Learning desire is driven by genes. B. Academic performance lies in genes. C. Parents should set an example for children. D. It’s necessary to motivate children to learn. 【答案】51. D 52. D 53. A 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究发现基因对孩子的学习动力有很大影响。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. (最近，一项科学研究声称，我们的学习意愿在很大程度上受到基因的影响。)”可知一项科学研究表明我们的学习意愿受基因显著影响，且后文围绕影响孩子学习动力的因素展开研究，所以研究主题是“什么能影响孩子的学习动力”，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Moreover, the shared environment had small impact.(此外，共享环境的影响较小)”可知，生活环境对一个人的学习动力影响较小，D 选项正确。A 选项文中未提及研究人员有过讨厌上学的问题；B 选项与最后一段 “The research shows there is not a specific gene for how much children enjoy learning (研究表明，没有一个特定的基因决定孩子有多喜欢学习)” 不符；C 选项，文中说的是“40 to 50 percent of the differences in children’s motivation to learn could be explained by their genetic inheritance (孩子们学习动机的差异中有40%到50%可以用父母的基因遗传来解释)”，并非一半的双胞胎差异与共享环境有关，而是与基因遗传有关。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Before the study, the researchers said they believed that the twins’ shared environment-elements such as the teachers and the family that they had in common - would be a larger factor than genetics. However, after the research, they found that genetics and non-shared-environment factors had the largest effect on the children’s motivation to learn. Moreover, the shared environment had small impact. (在这项研究之前，研究人员表示，他们认为双胞胎的共同环境——比如共同的老师和家庭——会比遗传因素更重要。然而，在研究之后，他们发现遗传和非共享环境因素对孩子的学习动机影响最大。此外，共享环境的影响较小。)” 表明研究结果与研究人员之前认为的不同，可推断研究人员对研究结果感到惊讶，故选A。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We found that personality differences that people inherit have a major impact on motivation. (我们发现，人们遗传的性格差异对动机有重大影响。)”可知性格差异与动机有关，故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. (最近，一项科学研究声称，我们的学习意愿在很大程度上受到基因的影响。)”可知文章主要讲述了一项研究发现基因对孩子的学习动力有很大影响，A 选项“学习欲望由基因驱动”符合文章主旨，适合作标题，故选A。 四、单词-中译英（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 汉译英 56. 使改观，使变形转化 (v.) ________ 57. 责任 (n.) ________ 58. 程度 (n.) ________ 59. 以前的，先前的 (adj.) ________ 60. 方面 (n.) ________ 61. 参加，参与 (v.) ________ 62. 幸运地 (adv.) ________ 63. 使突出，使注意力集中 (v.) ________ 64. 促成，造成某事发生 (v.) ________ 65. 移走，去掉 (v.) ________ 【答案】56. transform 57. responsibility 58. degree 59. previous 60. aspect 61. participate 62. fortunately 63. highlight 64. contribute 65. remove 五、阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When I was in my second year in senior high school. I found a four-dollar-an-hour part-time job at Villanova Pizza. Like many of my friends, I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience. Just one week after I worked there, Stanley, the manager called me into his office. As the saying goes, “life isn’t a bed of roses”. My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others. “Oh, I’m a loser.” I thought to myself. I believed that thought was shared by my brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired, and my mother, though she would never express it in those terms. “I am too sad to do anything.” I complained to my father. After listening to my words, he laughed. “It’s not funny; I’m a loser.” I said. “No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.” I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me. And I believed him. Since then, “Trust me. You are good enough.” are the only words I have repeated to myself. I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished (珍惜) every chance I have got. Finally, I succeeded in entering a good university. After graduation I found my dream job. I couldn’t wait to call my father and show my gratitude. Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you. When they believe in us, we begin to believe in ourselves, too. They tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it. 66. Why did the author do a part-time job when she was in senior high school? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 67. Why did the author lose her first job? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 68. How did the author’s father comfort her after knowing her failure? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 69. What did the author do immediately after she found her dream job? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 70. What can you learn from the author’s story? (no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】66. She wanted to earn pocket money and get social experience. 67. She was late twice and took more breaks than others. 68. He said she is good enough and believed in her. 69. She called her father and thanked him. 70. We may fail sometimes, but it doesn’t mean we are losers. We should believe in ourselves and work hard. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者在高二的时候做了一份兼职而不久就被解雇了。这给作者的内心造成很大伤害以至于作者不相信自己的能力。在父亲的鼓励下，作者重拾信心，考上理想大学，并在毕业后找到了理想的工作。这个经历告诉作者，经历失败了也要往前看，并且总会有相信我们能力的人，而我们也应相信自己并努力奋斗。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Like many of my friends, I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience.(像我的许多朋友一样，我渴望从工作中赚些零花钱，并获得社会经验)”可知，作者做兼职的原因是在赚点零花钱同时也能获得社会经验，故答案为She wanted to earn pocket money and get social experience. 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others.(我的第一份工作以失败告终。他的理由是我迟到了两次，而且休息的时间比别人多)”可知，作者因为迟到了两次，而且休息的时间比别人多，导致第一份工作失败了。故答案为She was late twice and took more breaks than others. 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的““No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.”(“不，你不是。这是成长的一部分。你会没事的，我亲爱的女儿，”他拍着我的肩膀说。“相信我。你已经足够优秀了。”)”以及第四段的“I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me.(我看着父亲的眼睛，我能看出他真的信任我)”可知，作者在告诉父亲她的经历后，爸爸安慰她说她已足够优秀，并且相信作者。故答案为He said she is good enough and believed in her. 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“After graduation I found my dream job. I couldn’t wait to call my father and show my gratitude.(毕业后，我找到了理想的工作。我迫不及待地打电话给我父亲，表达我的感激之情)”可知，作者在找到理想的工作后，第一时间就给她父亲打了电话，并表达对父亲的感激，故答案为She called her father and thanked him. 【70题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的““No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.”(“不，你不是。这是成长的一部分。你会没事的，我亲爱的女儿，”他拍着我的肩膀说。“相信我。你已经足够优秀了。”)”以及第四段的“I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished every chance I have got.(我努力成为一个更好的人，珍惜我得到的每一个机会)”以及最后一段“Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you. When they believe in us, we begin to believe in ourselves, too. They tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it.(当你经历不愉快的事情时，要向前看，总有人在你身边相信你。当他们相信我们时，我们也开始相信自己。他们一遍又一遍地告诉我们足够好，直到我们能听到为止)”可知，我们都会经历失败，因为这是成长的一部分，但是要相信自己的能力，失败不代表我们是失败者，对自己有信心，然后付出努力去变成更好的自己，故答案为We may fail sometimes, but it doesn’t mean we are losers. We should believe in ourselves and work hard. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一下学期英语阶段练习 姓名______ 班级______ 一、单选（共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分） 1.

In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc. Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of the park. Opening Hours and Safari(游猎) Times Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节). Bandhavgarh Zones Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala(the park’s best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi(the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli(scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding). Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle(up to six people). For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows: Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people) Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people) Jeep Hire Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. It’s much less trouble though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, it’s possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh. 41. What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for? A. Lots of tigers. B. Beautiful birds. C. Species of bears. D. A number of wolves. 42. When can you visit the park? A. In July. B. In June. C. In September. D. In August. 43. What do we know about Bandhavgarh Zones? A. Khitauli is frequently visited. B. Magdhi has attractive scenery. C. Magdhi is good for bird-watching. D. Tala is probably the most popular zone. 44. How much should five Americans pay for entry fees to visit Magdhi Zone? A. 1,200 rupees B. 2,400 rupees C. 4,800 rupees D. 6,000 rupees 45. Which of the following statements is True about jeep hire in the park? A. Tourists can only hire a jeep from the park. B. Hiring jeeps from hotels costs less money. C. Tourists don’t have to hire jeeps. D. Jeep hire fees are included in the entry cost. B As someone closely involved in the fashion tech industry, I’ve watched the growth of the Chinese short drama from its early days. Chinese short dramas-also known as “vertical shorts” or “mini TV series” — are becoming more popular in the global market. By the end of February 2024, the US emerged as a key market for these dramas. According to Sensor Tower, a mobile application data analysis company, Chinese platforms like ReelShort, DramaBox and GoodShort generated 69, 57 and 66 percent of their total earnings from the US market, respectively. Despite their market potential, Chinese short dramas still face challenges in global expansion, including cultural differences and language barriers. Here are some strategies I believe could help them succeed in Western markets. First, they need to localize their content more effectively. This means working with native speakers and professionals from the target country. I’ve encountered many translated scripts (剧本) that lack natural expressions and logical flow, often the result of machine translation. Additionally, since most Chinese short dramas are aimed at women, it’s essential to involve more women writers, directors and producers. With a growing audience of women over 35, it’s important to show women in leadership roles and tell stories that reflect their real-life experiences and ambitions, avoiding cliched (老套的) Cinderella-style rescue stories. Short dramas can also attract more young audiences by partnering with fashion and lifestyle brands. Compared to traditional films that rely on ticket sales and product placement, Chinese short dramas use a pay-to-view model, allowing investors to see significant returns. I’ve noticed that overseas audiences are often willing to spend $40 —100 (about 292 — 730 yuan) to watch high-quality series on their mobile devices. These platforms serve people who enjoy watching content during daily travel or in their free time. With younger generations using social media more for entertainment, this trend is likely to grow, making short dramas a smart and long-term investment. I also believe AI will play a crucial role in expanding short drama story ideas. AI can assist with pre-production, planning and scheduling, which is especially valuable for low-budget projects. Generative AI can create backgrounds, impressive wide-angle scenes with crowds and special effects, starting a new era of digital content creation that crosses borders. While challenges remain, they also present opportunities for investors seeking high returns. By strengthening international collaboration (合作), promoting cultural exchange and using up AI technology to come up with new kinds of stories, I believe Chinese short dramas can succeed in overseas markets. 46. What challenge do Chinese short dramas face in global markets? A. High production expenses. B. Culture and language barriers. C. Outdated marketing strategies. D. Limited interest in their content. 47. Why does the author emphasize the involvement of women creators in short dramas? A. To attract new age groups. B. To ensure diverse storytelling. C. To meet the target audience’s needs. D. To balance the gender ratio of creators. 48. How do short dramas profit differently from traditional films? A. By selling branded merchandise. B. By charging a pay-to-view fee. C. By partnering with fashion brands. D. By relying on mobile advertisements. 49. According to the author, what role does AI play in short drama production? A. Improving script translations. B. Adding more entertainment elements. C. Designing characters and costumes. D. Enhancing story creation and special effects. 50. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Strategies for Short Drama to succeed in Western Markets B. Rise of Chinese Short Dramas in the Western markets C. AI: Key to Short Drama’s Success in Foreign Markets D. Short Dramas: Global Achievements & Obstacles C Do your children hate going to school? If you struggle to get your child to go to school in the morning every day, don’t blame them - it could be your fault. Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. It’s really unexpected, isn’t it? After a lot of research, the researchers found that 40 to 50 percent of the differences in children’s motivation to learn could be explained by their genetic inheritance (遗传) from their parents. A group of researchers from Goldsmiths University of London, and Ohio State University in the US studied more than 13,000 twins aged nine to sixteen from six countries, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Germany,Russia and the US.

The researchers once had the problem of hating school. B. The motivation to learn was determined by a specific gene. C. Half of the twins’ differences related to the shared environment. D. The living environment slightly affects a person’s motivation to learn. 53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. The researchers were astonished at the study’s results. B. 13,000 twins and their parents were studied together. C. The genetic inheritance has the most influence on children’s motivation to learn. D. The result of the study was the same as the researchers thought to be. 54. According to Stephen Petrill, we can know that ______. A. teachers are to blame for students’ poor motivation B. we should use various ways to get children inspired C. personality differences have relationship with motivation D. the influences of education systems and cultures weren’t studied 55.

I found a four-dollar-an-hour part-time job at Villanova Pizza. Like many of my friends, I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience. Just one week after I worked there, Stanley, the manager called me into his office. As the saying goes, “life isn’t a bed of roses”. My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others. “Oh, I’m a loser.” I thought to myself. I believed that thought was shared by my brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired, and my mother, though she would never express it in those terms. “I am too sad to do anything.” I complained to my father. After listening to my words, he laughed. “It’s not funny; I’m a loser.” I said. “No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.” I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me. And I believed him. Since then, “Trust me. You are good enough.” are the only words I have repeated to myself. I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished (珍惜) every chance I have got. Finally, I succeeded in entering a good university. After graduation I found my dream job. I couldn’t wait to call my father and show my gratitude. Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you. When they believe in us, we begin to believe in ourselves, too. They tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it. 66. Why did the author do a part-time job when she was in senior high school?
