Passage 1
(2023安徽安庆三模)
The day before we met,Juliette Binoche was in the French Alps.Today,she’s sitting in her room in Berlin’s Hotel Marriott.“We arrived last night at 12,”she says,casually brushing off her tight schedule.It’s been this way for four decades now,ever since she became a real hit at the Cannes Film Festival as a 21-year-old,starring in 1985’s Rendez-vous.The film was well received and “La Binochas” as the French call her,was born.
Almost immediately,people were deeply attracted by this charming young lady.“After Rendez-vous,when I started,somebody asked me about doing an autobiography of my life...when I was 21!” she reveals,quite shocked at this absurd(荒唐的)idea.“Some people actually thought about it.”
Instead,Binoche concentrated on a constant rise through the ranks of the world cinema.Rather than addicted to the fame and wealth brought by Hollywood,Binoche simply continued working with celebrated filmmakers from around the globe,developing a reputation as a risk-taker.“For me,the risk is to repeat myself or get into a comfort zone that is not opening my horizons(视野),”she says.
Now 58,there isn’t much this extraordinary artist hasn’t done.On stage,she starred with Akram Khan at London’s National Theatre in dance piece In-i.“When you’re not a dancer,then you see that you need courage,you need trust and you need magic that is inside you that is going to take place,” she says.She also sang in the show It’s Almost Nothing and would love to film a musical.Which one “I would never answer that,”she smiles.“A film is a connection of different people.”In other words,about creative magic.

Passage 2
(2023宁夏中卫二模)
The term “Metaverse” is the latest buzzword (流行语) to capture the tech industry’s imagination—so much so that one of the best-known Internet platforms is rebranding to signal its embrace of the futuristic idea.
Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc.might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term for his 1992 novel Snow Crash.But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech visionaries with ideas on how the metaverse,which will employ a mix of virtual reality and other technologies,should take shape.
What is the metaverse Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of—instead of just looking at on a screen.Essentially,it’s a world of endless,interconnected virtual communities where people can meet,work and play,using virtual reality headsets and glasses,smartphones or other devices.The metaverse also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift amid the pandemic.Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call,employees could join them in a virtual office.
Zuckerberg’s embrace of the metaverse in some ways contradicts a central tenet (信条) of its biggest enthusiasts.They envision the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Meta that assumed ownership of people’s accounts,photos,posts and traded off what they collected from that data.“We want to be able to move around the Internet with ease,but we also want to be able to move around the Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored,” said Steve Jang,who focuses on cryptocurrency (数字货币) technology.There is a growing concern about Meta trying to lead the way into a virtual world that could require even more personal data and offer greater potential for abuse and misinformation when it hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.
5.Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company
A.Because he plans to quit his present business.
B.Because he has founded the metaverse.
C.Because he will engage in the metaverse.
D.Because he wants to draw public attention.
6.What can be inferred about the central belief of the metaverse fans
A.Users should be responsible for their personal data.
B.Cryptocurrency technology should be monitored.
C.Tech platforms should possess users’ data.
D.The Metaverse should be tracked.
7.What can people do in the metaverse
A.Do everything in the real world.
B.Have meetings in the virtual office.
C.Defeat the pandemic.
D.See co-workers on a video-call.
8.What do some people think of Zuckerberg’s decision
A.Meta will gain people’s trust.
B.Meta will make the Internet a better world.
C.Meta may not abuse information.
D.Meta may not play a good leading role.
Passage 3
(2023湖南岳阳二模)
As a writer and game designer,I’ve spent most of the past 30 years trying to do various types of creative work while sitting or standing at a computer keyboard.The power of those devices has grown exponentially,enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.
And yet I’ve been increasingly confused to realize that the productivity such as words written,problems solved,hasn’t increased one bit with the improvement of my tools.
For a long time I tried to talk myself out of this.I figured that if my computer time didn’t work efficiently,it was because I didn’t have the right software,or wasn’t using it right.I created keyboard shortcuts.I downloaded apps to track time I spent using other apps.Nothing changed the basic observed fact:I was still trapped in the state of low productivity.
For myself,I’ve found that I spend the vast majority of my working computer time staring at the screen in a state of mind that ranges from “passive” to “somewhat productive,” and in which a few minutes can stretch unnoticed into a quarter-hour,or a couple of hours.During this process,I cheat myself into believing that because I am at my desk,at my computer,I am therefore working.
It’s so easy to move words and sentences around in Word or Scrivener or Final Draft that it feels like writing,even if what I’m actually doing would rate only a 2 on the scale in which 10 is “getting an idea and writing it down.” That is why I now keep my project notes and journals in actual notebooks.I’ve even switched to paper for my “to-do lists,” and cross off action items literally.It’s simpler and I get more done this way.
9.What do the underlined words “exponentially” mean in paragraph 1
A.Rapidly. B.Silently.
C.Unexpectedly. D.Blindly.
10.What does the author want to show in paragraph 3
A.He avoided facing the reality of his work habits.
B.He usually chooses the simplest way to accomplish tasks.
C.He is able to learn new skills and computer programs quickly.
D.He was proud of his ability to master the use of high-tech tools.
11.What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A.The author can focus on finishing the task at his computer.
B.The author may reduce working efficiency with longer screen time.
C.The author can be extremely productive when working at computer.
D.The author can work longer time with high efficiency at his computer.
12.What is the author’s current attitude towards writing down an idea by computer
A.Supportive. B.Indifferent.
C.Unfavorable. D.Objective.

10.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For a long time I tried to talk myself...I downloaded apps to track time I spent using other apps.”可推知,作者在第三段中表明他最初不愿意接受自己工作效率低的现实,不愿意承认工作习惯有问题的现实。

分析:本句为复合句。so...that引导结果状语从句;even if what I’m actually doing would rate only a 2 on the scale in which 10 is “getting an idea and writing it down”为even if引导的让步状语从句,该从句中又包含主语从句what I’m actually doing。
句意:在Word或Scrivener或Final Draft中移动单词和句子是如此容易,以至于感觉就像在写作一样,即使我实际做的事情在“获得一个想法并将其写下来”的10分评分中只有2分。
