专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 主题01 人与社会——科技发展与创新 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建泉州第五中学·期末) Power of Public Speaking has partnered with ASI Innovation Labs to integrate artificial intelligence into the Pops Classroom platform for improving public speaking skills. The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback. The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress. Criteria Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria: Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility Feedback The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats: Recommendations To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening.” Speech Metrics (指标) Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage. Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course. When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester, Advisor increases the overall development. 1．What is the Pops Advisor? A．An evaluation tool. B．A time tracker. C．A video player. D．A voice assistant. 2．Which of the following categories provides feedback on facial expressions? A．Body. B．Delivery. C．Conclusion. D．Introduction. 3．Who is the text intended for? A．Lab technicians. B．Foreign language learners. C．Artificial Intelligence engineers. D．Public speech instructors. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章通过介绍Power of Public Speaking与ASI Innovation Labs合作开发的Pops Advisor工具，阐述人工智能如何融入公共演讲教学平台。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback.(首个项目是Pops Advisor，它通过视觉反馈对学生的视频演讲进行自动评估)”可知，Pops Advisor的核心功能是“自动评估演讲”，属于评估工具。选A项。 2．细节理解题。在“Criteria”部分，“Delivery (表达)”包含“Eye Contact (眼神交流)”，而眼神交流属于面部表情相关的评估维度。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress.(这种灵活性有利于教师，他们可以在练习中亲力亲为或放手不管。学生可以使用该工具自主操作，教师也可以选择跟踪学生的进度)”和最后一段中的“Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course.(Pops Advisor可以在任何学生演讲的课堂环境中使用，特别是在基础公共演讲课程中)”可知，该工具对教师和学生有益处，且可以在任何学生演讲的课堂环境中使用，特别是在基础公共演讲课程中。由此推知，文章的目标读者是“公共演讲讲师”。 故选D项。 主题02 人与社会——文学、艺术与娱乐 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建福州马尾一中等六校·期末) On a rainy afternoon, maybe one of the following books will keep you company leisurely, allowing you to spend your time alone and step into a different world.

In her first book, Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer describes her ride in all its pain boredom, and ultimate success. “Somehow,” she writes at the beginning, “against all the odds, I won a race labeled the longest and toughest in the world and became the youngest person, and first female, ever to have done so.” Yet her story avoids overused phrases of self-praise, balancing vivid landscapes with honest words about painful saddle (马鞍) wounds and bad-smelling outdoor toilets, making it an unusual pleasure to read. For much of the book, she and her horses — 25 in all, a new horse every 40 km — drag slowly with great effort across a landscape that resists Prior-Palmer’s sight. She’s especially gifted with metaphor — when it rains, “there appears a smooth path behind us, as though the earth is water and we have been fish, until now,” and the clouds are “piled high as if lining up for a funeral”. For every gorgeous metaphor, there’s a pair of wet riding trousers or a toilet that is only “a smelly hole in the ground with wet boards above to stop you from slipping into it”. By the end of Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer is amazed by the land around her. “Living in desertion,” she writes, “the land knows what I don’t, no one can carve a story into earth or sky. The wind sweeps the clouds away, the stage clears for another day.” She keeps competing, while trying to persuade herself to be more patient, and humbler. Her final hope is not to win the race — though she wants that, too — but to let the race make her free. Rough Magic seems to stand as proof that she succeeded. And as I read it from the skyless comfort of my couch, I briefly felt a bit freer, too. 1．How did Prior-Palmer feel about her performance in Mongol Derby? A．Unsatisfied. B．Pitiful. C．Expected. D．Proud. 2．What is the language style of Rough Magic? A．Plain. B．Humorous. C．Descriptive. D．Logical. 3．Why does the land impress Prior Palmer? A．It blocks heavy winds. B．It mirrors human evolution. C．It shows competitive spirits. D．It varies with time and weather. 4．What is Rough Magic about? A．A bittersweet journey. B．A well-grounded theory. C．An inspiring fairy tale. D．An impressive landscape. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是英国作家Lara Prior-Palmer《Rough Magic》一书的书评，讲述了Lara Prior-Palmer通过记录蒙古德比赛马经历，写成《Rough Magic》一书，通过艰苦与诗意并存的描写，展现了她从竞技到精神自由的蜕变历程。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中““Somehow,” she writes at the beginning, “against all the odds, I won a race labeled the longest and toughest in the world and became the youngest person, and first female, ever to have done so.” (“不知怎么地，”她在开头写道，“在极不可能的情况下，我赢得了被称为世界上最长最艰难的比赛，成为有史以来最年轻、也是第一位做到这一点的女性。”)”可知，Prior-Palmer表示自己赢得了世界公认最艰难的赛事，并成为最年轻和首位女性获胜者，这体现了她的自豪感。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Yet her story avoids overused phrases of self-praise, balancing vivid landscapes with honest words about painful saddle (马鞍) wounds and bad-smelling outdoor toilets, making it an unusual pleasure to read. (然而，她的故事避免了陈词滥调的自我赞美，将生动的风景描写与关于疼痛马鞍伤和恶臭户外厕所的坦诚叙述巧妙平衡，形成了一种独特的阅读乐趣)”和第三段中“She’s especially gifted with metaphor — when it rains, “there appears a smooth path behind us, as though the earth is water and we have been fish, until now,” and the clouds are “piled high as if lining up for a funeral”. (她尤其擅长运用比喻——当大雨落下时，“身后突然显现出一条平滑的小径，仿佛大地化作水域，而此前我们一直都是鱼”，又或是将云层描绘成“高高堆叠，如同列队等待一场葬礼”)”可知，作品通过对自然景观、身体感受、生活细节等的细致描写和诗意的比喻来构建叙事，语言风格是描述性的。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“By the end of Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer is amazed by the land around her. “Living in desertion,” she writes, “the land knows what I don’t, no one can carve a story into earth or sky. The wind sweeps the clouds away, the stage clears for another day.” (在Rough Magic的结尾处，Prior-Palmer被她周围的土地深深震撼。“生活在荒芜之中，”她写道，“这片土地知晓我所不知的一切，没有人能将故事镌刻进大地或天空。风卷残云而去，舞台为新的一天清场。”)”可知，这片土地随时间和天气而变化，让Prior-Palmer 印象深刻。故选D项。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In her first book, Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer describes her ride in all its pain boredom, and ultimate success. (在她的处女作《Rough Magic》,中，Prior-Palmer描述了她经历的所有痛苦、无聊和最终的成功)”可知，这本书展现的是一次苦乐参半的旅程。故选A项。 主题05 人与社会——旅游与交通 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建仙游第一中学·期末) The Best Family Vacations on a Budget​ Are you looking for a great family vacation but worried about the cost?

Here we honor 3 women who shaped the world with their imagination, dedication, and perseverance. Dr. Lin Lanying—Synthesis of Crystals and Semiconductor Materials Dr. Lin Lanying was born in 1918 in Putian, China. Her family didn’t believe education was important for girls and she wasn’t permitted to attend school, but despite her family’s objections, she eventually obtained her Ph.D．from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955. Lin returned to China in 1957. There, she and her team synthesized(合成)crystals of aerospace and semiconductor materials. Today, she is recognized as the “mother of aerospace materials” and the “mother of semiconductor materials” in China. Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi—Saruhashi’s Table Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi was born in Tokyo in 1920. She earned a degree in chemistry in 1943and was the first woman to receive a Ph. D．in chemistry from the University of Tokyo in 1957. She went on to work at the Meteorological Research Institute, and it was there she invented a new way to measure the amount of carbon in the ocean, which became known as Saruhashi’s Table. She was the first woman elected to the Science Council of Japan and the first woman to win the Miyake Prize for geochemistry in 1985. Anna Modayi Mani—Instruments to Measure the Weather Anna Modayil Mani was born in 1918 in the southern part of India. Mani began her research career at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru. In 1948, she joined the Indian Meteorological Department where she was responsible for the construction of radiation instruments. Mani created drawings for nearly 100 different weather instruments and started their production. She also set up a network of weather monitoring stations in India to measure solar radiation and help use solar energy. 1．Which word best describes Lin Lanying according to the text?

She also set up a network of weather monitoring stations in India to measure solar radiation and help use solar energy.( Mani为近100种不同的气象仪器绘制了图纸并开始了它们的生产。她还在印度建立了一个气象监测站网络，用于测量太阳辐射并帮助利用太阳能。)”可知，Katsuko Saruhashi发明了测量海洋中碳含量的新方法(Saruhashi’s Table)，而Anna Modayi Mani则设计了近100种不同的天气仪器并建立了天气监测站网络。这两项成就都对科学测量产生了重要影响，是科学测量领域的重要创新。因此，可以推断出她们的共同点是都为科学测量带来了至关重要的创新。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Women are, and have always been, essential to innovation. Here we honor 3 women who shaped the world with their imagination, dedication, and perseverance. (女性一直是创新的关键。在这里，我们向三位用想象力、奉献精神和毅力塑造世界的女性致敬。)”以及接下来的内容分别介绍了这三位女性科学家的成就和贡献。因此，可以判断这篇文章最有可能来自对女性成就的回顾或评论。D选项“A review of women achievements.(对女性成就的回顾)”符合题意。故选D。 主题10 人与社会——文学与艺术 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建福州第一中学·期末) Elixir    by Eric Walters      Twelve-year-old Ruth becomes a friend of Dr. Banting and his assistant, Mr. Best, who are in search of a cure for diabetes.

D．Two dinosaurs. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本图书的内容简介及部分相关信息。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“She finds herself torn between her sympathy for the animals being experimented on and her friendship with Banting and Best.(她发现自己对正在做实验的动物感到同情，但又与Banting和Best结成了朋友，这两种情感让她很矛盾。)”可知，Ruth对正在接受实验的动物感到同情，但又不想失去与Banting和Best的友谊，因此她的内心是矛盾的。B选项“Conflicted.(矛盾的)”符合语境。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Meet the “Peanut Specialist”, George Washington Carver, the inventor and professor who made over 325 products out of peanuts. Through his agricultural research, he also greatly improved the lives of countless black farmers in the southern United States. See also Macleod’s Albert Einstein: A Life of Genius..( 认识一下“花生专家”乔治·华盛顿·卡佛，他是一位发明家和教授，用花生研制出了325种以上产品。通过他的农业研究，他还极大地改善了美国南部无数黑农的生活。另见麦克劳德的《阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦传：天才的一生》。)”以及第三段中的“Also see other books: The Chinese Thought of It by Tingxing Ye and A Native American Thought of It by Rocky Landon and David MacDonald.(另见其他书籍：Tingxing Ye 的《中国人的想法》和洛基•兰登与大卫•麦克唐纳的《美洲原住民的想法》。)”可知，Macleod和MacDonald都写了不止一本书，由此可推断出他们都是有经验的作家。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Ten-year-old boy Newton has invented a time machine to see dinosaurs up close. But it disappears on a test run with his two huge friends, King Herbert and Queen Certunde, in it!(10岁的男孩牛顿发明了一台时间机器，以便近距离观看恐龙。但在试运行时，他和他的两个巨大的朋友——Herbert国王和Certunde女王——一起消失了!)”可知，King Herbert和Queen Certunde是与Newton一起进行时间旅行的两个巨大的朋友，结合下文“Can he save them before time runs out?(他能在时间耗尽之前救下他们吗？)”可知，他们是被Newton带上时间机器的两个巨大的生物，且根据“to see dinosaurs up close(为了近距离观看恐龙)”可知，他们不可能是人，结合选项可推断出他们是被Newton认为是恐龙的两个巨大的生物。故选D项。 主题01 人与自然——环境保护与旅游 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建泉州永春县永春第一中学·期末) Sepilok Orangutan (红毛猩猩) Rehabilitation (康复) Centre (SORC) started in 1964 as rehabilitation for baby orangutans. It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4, 294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve.Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment.Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks.

And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season.(有没有出现过猩猩没有按时前来进食的情况呢？当然有！不过我们要提醒您的是，这种情况并非经常发生。主要原因在于，猩猩能够在野外获取食物，尤其是在果实成熟的季节)”可知，游客在喂食时间可能会看不到猩猩是因为猩猩在野外已经找到了足够的食物。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分“No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans.(禁止触碰或喂食：请勿触碰、喂食或试图与猩猩进行互动)”可知，在索罗克保护区，游客被禁 止触摸猩猩。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据表格中“Adults：$5.00(Malaysian)；Children：$15.00 (Non-Malaysian)(成人票价：5.00美元（马来西亚人）；儿童票价：15.00美元（非马来西亚人）)”可知，一位马来西亚教师和一名美国学生，需要支付5+15=20美元才能进入该中心。故选B。 主题02 人与自我——兴趣爱好与学习 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建福州（八县）协作校·期末) Dive into the colorful world of watercolors with our engaging, beginner-friendly workshops led by artist Clara Winslow.

The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress. Criteria Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria: Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility Feedback The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats: Recommendations To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening.”Speech Metrics (指标) Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage.

In her first book, Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer describes her ride in all its pain boredom, and ultimate success. “Somehow,” she writes at the beginning, “against all the odds, I won a race labeled the longest and toughest in the world and became the youngest person, and first female, ever to have done so.” Yet her story avoids overused phrases of self-praise, balancing vivid landscapes with honest words about painful saddle (马鞍) wounds and bad-smelling outdoor toilets, making it an unusual pleasure to read. For much of the book, she and her horses — 25 in all, a new horse every 40 km — drag slowly with great effort across a landscape that resists Prior-Palmer’s sight. She’s especially gifted with metaphor — when it rains, “there appears a smooth path behind us, as though the earth is water and we have been fish, until now,” and the clouds are “piled high as if lining up for a funeral”. For every gorgeous metaphor, there’s a pair of wet riding trousers or a toilet that is only “a smelly hole in the ground with wet boards above to stop you from slipping into it”. By the end of Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer is amazed by the land around her. “Living in desertion,” she writes, “the land knows what I don’t, no one can carve a story into earth or sky. The wind sweeps the clouds away, the stage clears for another day.” She keeps competing, while trying to persuade herself to be more patient, and humbler. Her final hope is not to win the race — though she wants that, too — but to let the race make her free. Rough Magic seems to stand as proof that she succeeded. And as I read it from the skyless comfort of my couch, I briefly felt a bit freer, too. 1．How did Prior-Palmer feel about her performance in Mongol Derby? A．Unsatisfied. B．Pitiful. C．Expected. D．Proud. 2．What is the language style of Rough Magic? A．Plain. B．Humorous. C．Descriptive. D．Logical. 3．Why does the land impress Prior Palmer? A．It blocks heavy winds. B．It mirrors human evolution. C．It shows competitive spirits. D．It varies with time and weather. 4．What is Rough Magic about? A．A bittersweet journey. B．A well-grounded theory. C．An inspiring fairy tale. D．An impressive landscape. 主题05 人与社会——旅游与交通 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·福建仙游第一中学·期末) The Best Family Vacations on a Budget​ Are you looking for a great family vacation but worried about the cost?

Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment.Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks.
