On the evening of April 8, 2020, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Caves. Using Huawei’s newly released Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Caves can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang, director of Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei’s latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang art murals (壁画) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.
Dunhuang Academy has applied digital technology to the study and exploration of Dunhuang Caves since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realised the goal of sharing digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and study of the cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang’s study findings, high-resolution images of the site’s murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Caves. It has not only recreated the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colourful virtual content to enrich the experience of Dunhuang Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.

[江苏南京外国语学校2023高二月考] B
体裁: 说明文 题材: 语言文化 词数: 365 难度: &3& 建议用时: 8分钟
Plenty of films are somewhat difficult to understand, but a movie is in a language that only about 20 people in the world can speak fluently.
A feature film titled SGaawaay K’uuna , translated as Edge of the Knife , is in the Haida language, the ancestral tongue of the Haida people of British Columbia, Canada. It is unrelated to any other language, and actors had to learn it to understand their lines.
The flim is playing an important role in preserving the language, its director Gwaai Edenshaw said.“You know that, if our language is this far gone, statistically it’s supposed to be over. But that’s not something that we’re willing to accept.”
The Haida are an indigenous (土著的) community whose traditional territory is Haida Gwaii. Edenshaw said most of the fluent Haida speakers were in his Haida Gwaii homeland. The community generally lives off the sea and makes dugout canoes and houses from local red cedars. Their numbers were ravaged by smallpox and other diseases in the 19th century. A former population of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.
The few Haida speakers are extremely concerned about the language’s future and were very enthusiastic about the film. More than 70 local people worked on the production, with Haida speakers taking incidental roles, some creating the costumes and others making props.
The film, set on Haida Gwaii in the 19th century, is based on an old Haida myth about a man who survives an accident at sea, only to become so weakened that he is taken over by supernatural beings.
It is part of a wider push to preserve the Haida language, including a new dictionary and recordings of local voices.
Mark Turin, associate professor at the University of British Columbia, said that Haida is among languages that have been “pushed almost to the edge” and that, while numerous indigenous communities worldwide are trying to revive their language, the Haida people have taken an unusual approach.“This film has done something that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before, using a feature movie as a process of language revitalisation.It’s a hugely creative and powerful commitment for the community to have made,” he said.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海达人通过拍摄故事片《刀刃》来复兴濒危语言——海达语。
1.What do we know about the Haida language ( )
B
A.It is hard to learn. B.It is highly endangered.
C.It is supposed to be gone. D.Some languages derived from it.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的but a movie is in a language that only about 20 people in the world can speak fluently和第四段中的A former population of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.可知,海达语现在极度濒危。故选B项。
2.What does the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ( )
D
A.Determined. B.Slightly increased. C.Stabilised. D.Greatly reduced.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的by smallpox and other diseases in the 19th century和A former population of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.可知,说海达语的人的数量在19世纪因天花和其他疾病而急剧减少,现在仅有几千人,由此可知画线词意为“急剧减少”。故选D项。
3.What do we know about SGaawaay K’uuna ( )
B
A.It is based on a true story. B.Locals contribute to its production.
C.Most Haida speakers lack interest in it. D.It helps promote the Haida publications.
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中的More than 70 local people worked on the production, with Haida speakers taking incidental roles, some creating the costumes and others making props.可知,当地居民为故事片《刀刃》的制作作出了贡献。故选B项。
4.What does Mark Turin think of using a film to revive a language ( )
A
A.It is innovative. B.It is conventional. C.It is unacceptable. D.It is debatable.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的This film has done something that I don't think I've ever seen before, using a feature movie as a process of language revitalisation.It's a hugely creative and powerful commitment for the community to have made可知,马克·图林教授认为用电影来复兴一门语言极具创新性。故选A项。

Social media has basically taken over almost everyday life for a lot of people. They like to post
videos online to share their life. But sometimes, if you post a video online and your video becomes
popular, you may get comments from people who will always find something to complain about. They
may spread gossip about you that isn’t true. Negative comments, if they are mishandled, can affect your
reputation and mood. 1. .
First, respond positively and politely. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Some people like
your video while others don’t. No matter how negative the comment is, it’s best for you to give a
positive and polite response. 2. . Don’t be angry, and stay calm, which helps you gain the upper
hand .
B
F
Next, moving the conversation out of the public eye and into a private area is usually the best
choice. 3. . Instead, leave a comment for them, asking them to contact you to discuss the problem in
private. This shows everyone that you are willing to address the issue, without needing to make it a
public discussion for everyone to see.
4. . Often, keyboard warriors (键盘侠) are feeling bad about something in their own lives, so keep
it in mind that their comments have nothing to do with you. Avoid being negatively influenced by their
comments. You totally have the right to delete anything that should not be on your social media page.
How do you recover from those negative comments on social media Just laugh them off and let
them go. 5. . All you can do is keep posting and sharing positive things. When others can see that
you are still living a good life, they will be encouraged by you.
E
D
A
A.You can’t control what other people do.
B.Then how should we address negative comments
C.So when should you actually ignore negative comments

F.This shows that you care about everyone else on your social media page.

2.___
F
解析 根据段首句First, respond positively and politely.可知,本段作者建议读者积极礼貌地回复评论;根据空前一句可知,作者建议即使是负面评论也最好给予积极、礼貌的回应。F项(这表明你关心社交媒体页面上的其他人)符合语境。
3.___
E
解析 根据空后一句可知,作者建议给他们留下评论,让他们联系你私下讨论这个问题。空后的Instead表明,设空处应与空后句子意思相反,E项(然而,不要直接向发表负面评论者发信息)符合语境,引出下文内容。
4.___
D
解析 设空处为段首句,为本段中心句。本段指出键盘侠的评论与你无关,如果你觉得受到了负面影响,可以删除这些评论。D项(最后,设置界限,如果他们试图挑起争论,不要回复)中的Finally暗示这是最后一条建议,而“不要回复”和下文的“他们的评论与你无关”相呼应。
5.___

[黑龙江哈尔滨六中2022高二期中] Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: When can sharing become oversharing on social media
“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn’t . .exclusive. . to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate into social media
Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学), says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.
However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense—if your date is going “that well”, would you really have time to share a photo with text
So, how can you know if you are oversharing Well, why not ask your friends in real life They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.
【语篇导读】文章阐述了社交媒体上的过度分享现象,论述了过度分享可能导致的问题以及应该避免发布哪种内容的帖子。
1.What does the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 2 mean ( )
A
A.Unique. B.Similar. C.Relevant. D.Fundamental.
解析 词义猜测题。画线词上文“Oversharing” has become associated with social media提到,“过度分享”与社交媒体有关,but表示转折,下文Imagine you head to a party and meet someone… 则讲述了一个在聚会上过度分享的例子,由此可知,此处表示“过度分享”并不是这个平台独有的,画线词为“独有的”之意。故选A项。
2.Which of the following may Dr Hand agree with ( )
C
A.Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.
B.Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.
C.Sharing negative posts can’t help one become socially attractive.
D.Oversharing isn’t likely to happen online when things go wrong.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的However, Dr Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if the posts that we bang out are positive.可知,分享负面内容的帖子并不能帮助一个人在社交上变得有吸引力,汉德博士可能会同意这个观点。故选C项。
3.According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing ( )
B
A.Reflecting on past bad manners. B.Showing a great many expensive goods.
C.Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast. D.Recording unforgettable moments with friends.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives.和最后一段中的They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.可推断,展示许多昂贵的商品属于过度炫耀,应该避免。故选B项。
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text ( )
B
A.Developing Good Relationships by Oversharing B.The “Oversharing” Phenomenon on Social Media
C.Sharing With Friends in Real Life D.How to Avoid Oversharing
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第二段第一句中的“Oversharing” has become associated with social media可知,文章主要论述了社交媒体上的过度分享现象、过度分享可能导致的问题以及应该避免发布哪种内容的帖子。由此可知,B项(社交媒体上的“过度分享”现象)能概括全文内容,最适合作为文章的标题。

Product placement (植入式广告) is a form of advertising in which a company pays a content creator to place its products on the set of a movie, TV show or music video. The oldest examples of products appearing in films date back to the production of a French motion picture in 1896. Recent years have witnessed the boom in product placement. With viewers migrating to web videos, this trend makes sense.
When watching web videos, about 90% of consumers either skip or ignore those traditional ads that run before the video. So as advertisers struggle to reach potential consumers, they’re increasingly turning to product placement, spending their advertising budgets on getting their ads into media content in ways that the ads can’t be skipped. Studies have shown product placement can increase viewers’ awareness of products and their positive attitudes towards them.
But not all product placement works as intended. Research has shown advertisers need to engage in a delicate dance with viewers to effectively influence them. Viewers tend to . .be turned off. . if the product placement is too obvious—as when a character in the show holds the product and talks about it. Most viewers don’t want to be immersed (沉浸) in an intense drama only to be reminded that they’re being targeted by corporations.
In contrast, viewers are most influenced by product placement in which the product or the brand name is spoken by one of the characters but not shown. These pieces of product placement are more likely to be noticed by viewers than those where products are simply shown. Also, viewers may be more attracted to product placement that appears earlier in a show or movie. Because they become more engaged as a movie or a show progresses. If the placement appears at the climax—the moment when their attention is fixed on what will happen next—they’re either less likely to notice it or more likely to be annoyed if they do notice it.
With increasing online viewers and better designed placement, perhaps advertisers will consider this as their first choice. After all, it’s incredibly effective at getting the targeted audience interested.
【语篇导读】植入式广告是一种广告形式,公司向内容创造者支付费用,将其产品放在电影、电视节目或音乐视频中,随着观众转向网络视频,植入式广告已经成为未来的一种广告趋势。

解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的When watching web videos, about 90% of consumers either skip or ignore those traditional ads that run before the video.So as advertisers struggle to reach potential consumers, they're increasingly turning to product placement, spending their advertising budgets on getting their ads into media content in ways that the ads can't be skipped.可知,植入式广告相对于传统广告的优势是它不太可能被观众忽略。故选C项。
3.What does the underlined part “be turned off” in Paragraph 3 mean ( )

[四川南充高级中学2022高二月考] What Can We See in a Logo
We see hundreds of logos on signs, vehicles, websites, and even on the clothes we wear. All of
these logos are designed to attract our attention. 1. . However, recent research supports the idea that
remembering what a logo looks like is a very difficult task.
Researchers gave 85 students a simple assignment to draw the logo of a well-known company from
memory. Surprisingly, only one student in the study could accurately draw the logo from memory. 2. .
Researchers have developed a theory that they think might help to explain this blind spot in our
memories.
Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognise with a quick glance. Yet the
frequent exposure to these logos can actually make our brains overlook them. This process is known as
“attention saturation (注意力饱和)”. 3. .
E
D
F
Even though the brain is accustomed to ignoring unnecessary details, it is programmed for
recognition. When we see images such as logos over and over again, we become familiar with them.
This constant exposure leads to something scientists refer to as “gist memory”, which means that our
brains remember the basic idea without all of the details. 4. . In fact, familiarity with a popular logo
can even make people feel more comfortable about purchasing or using certain products.
Logos are everywhere we look today. A fancy design or a thoughtful colour combination may be a
good start for a logo concept, but there are other factors to consider. 5. . A clever design may be
interesting, but most people will forget the details—especially if our brains have nothing to say about it.
C
G
A.This may be inspiring to logo designers.
B.People will know the product behind the logo.
C.This general sense of memory has its own benefits.
D.So why is it so difficult for people to recall the details of images
E.They also help us remember a product or service connected with the images.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现生活中有许多商标,想要清楚记住一个商标却很难。
1.___
E
解析 上文提到所有的商标都是用来吸引消费者的注意力的;下文中的However表示转折,说明设空处应该承接上文,继续说明商标的功能。E项(它们还帮助我们记住与商标图案相关的产品或服务)符合语境,E项中的They指代上文中的All of these logos。故选E项。
2.___
D
解析 根据上文中的Surprisingly, only one student in the study could accurately draw the logo from memory.并结合选项可知,此处承接上文,并引出下文的研究理论。D项(那么,为什么人们很难回忆起商标图案的细节呢?)提出设问,符合语境。故选D项。
3.___
F
解析 根据本题设空处所在位置可以判断,此处应承接上文。根据空前内容可知,本段解释了因为商标的整体设计简单且易于辨别,人们一瞥就能认出它们,然而这种频繁的接触会让大脑忽略它们。F项(我们的大脑实际上会发出信号,让我们忽略我们认为不需要记住的信息)总结上文,符合语境。故选F项。
4.___
C
解析 上文提到人们反复接触这些商标时,大脑会产生“要点记忆”,即只记住有用的信息,而非全部的细节;下文提到熟悉一个流行的商标甚至可以让人们对购买或使用某些产品感到更舒适。设空处应承上启下,C项(这种大致的记忆感觉有它自己的好处)符合语境,C项中的general sense of memory与空前的the basic idea without all of the details相呼应。故选C项。
5.___
G
解析 上文表示一个别致的设计或一个经过深思熟虑的颜色组合可能是一个商标概念的良好开端,但还有其他因素要考虑,由此可知,下文应进一步阐述这些因素,G项(商标设计师需要知道,人们只会记住他们认为值得记住的东西)符合语境。故选G项。

Humans were designed to stand upright (直立). And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: We’re staring at the tiny screen of a smartphone.
People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while sending e-mails or texts.That’s about 700 to 1,400 hours a year. . .The “success” of social media has led to rapid development of bad smartphone posture.. .
The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at mere 15 degrees puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine (脊椎); a 30-degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45-degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.
It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as “ears aligned (使成一条直线) with the shoulders”. With proper alignment, spinal stress disappears. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.
The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other neurological problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smartphone posture. While it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.

In recent years, Hollywood has ..striven. to attract the Chinese audience by inviting Chinese actors to make an appearance, shooting scenes in China, or showcasing elements of Chinese culture.
In Roland Emmerich’s latest sci-fi disaster movie Moonfall, a variety of Chinese elements, including the appearance of several conversations in the Chinese language, have impressed Chinese viewers, not to mention its visual effects. Opening on March 25 in China, Moonfall tells of how a team of heroes, including two seasoned astronauts, try to save Earth from the collision (碰撞) of the moon, driven by an unknown force. Emmerich already has a strong reputation, built on such blockbusters as 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow, a fact that has drawn the crowds. But the movie has also gained attention due to its easily identifiable Chinese elements.
A moviegoer surnamed Zhao was impressed by the re-entry capsule used by the team at the end of their mission. Many fans of Chinese manned space missions believe that the capsule is “made in China”.
Such capsules have appeared in TV broadcast programmes showing the successful landing of Chinese astronauts returning to Earth after their missions in space. Zhao said, “The Chinese are making contributions in the face of a disaster. This not only proves the unity of mankind, but also shows the country’s international status and influence.”
