2.Select the chat box at the bottom， and type “/imagine”， then click the Imagine command.
3.Type in the prompt for the art you wish to create （the more detail the better） and hit enter.A prompt is a short text phrase that the Midjourney Bot interprets to produce an image.A well-crafted prompt can help make unique and exciting images.A basic prompt can be as simple as a single word， phrase or emoji .
4.Wait a few moments for the bot to work and keep an eye on the chat where it will be posted.

（外刊原创·NPR网站）Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss affair.But researchers have found that switching to another video， or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one， actually makes people more bored.
Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough， the lead author of the research， said boredom was closely linked to attention.
“We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be，” she said.“When people keep switching through videos， they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting.This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.”
The results appear to chime （一致） with other studies： As the team notes， previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones， the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology： General， Tam and colleagues report how they carried out seven experiments involving a total of more than 1，200 participants.
The first， involving 140 participants， revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring， while the second — an online survey involving 231 participants — suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make viewing a video less boring.
However， the team’s subsequent experiments suggest this is not the case.Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to， while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they reported higher levels of boredom when given a collection of five-minute videos they could switch between， compared with a single 10-minute video.
“Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom， this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored，” Tam said.“Just as we pay for an immersive experience in a movie theatre， enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them.”
8.What can help us relieve the boredom when watching videos according to Dr Katy Tam？（ ）
A.Switching between videos. B.Focusing on one single video.
C.Skipping forwards and backwards. D.Searching for more interesting ones.
9.What can we learn about Tam’s subsequent experiments？（ ）
A.They were conducted online. B.They provided a similar result.
C.They involved more participants. D.They led to an opposite conclusion.
10.What can we infer from Paragraph 7？（ ）
A.Short videos are more attractive. B.Young people prefer long videos.
C.More choices can be a bad thing. D.Switching between tasks is rewarding.
11.What did watching a movie mean compared with watching short videos according to Tam？（ ）
A.More freedom.
B.Limited choices.
C.A higher level of boredom.
D.A higher level of concentration.

（2025·贵阳模拟）The University of Waterloo Economics professor Larry Smith gives three-hour lectures.In November 2011 he gave a 15-minute talk for a TEDx audience.12.（ ） “For me， it was a personal challenge to condense （压缩） my content into 18 minutes，” Smith told me.“I think my students asked me to do it because they thought it would kill me！”
“13.（ ）” I asked Smith.
“Thinking is hard work.In 18 minutes you can make a powerful argument and attract people’s attention.”
Yes， thinking is hard work， and that’s why the 18-minute rule is critical to the transfer of ideas.A TED presentation must not exceed 18 minutes in length.14.（ ） It doesn’t matter if you’re Larry Smith， Bill Gates， or Tony Robbins — 18 minutes is all you get.
Eighteen minutes is the ideal length of time for a presentation.The longer the presentation， the more the listeners have to organise， comprehend， and remember.The burden increases along with the listeners’ anxiety.15.（ ） If you must create one that’s longer， build in soft breaks （stories， videos， demonstrations） every 10 minutes.
Why does the 18-minute rule work？ TED curator Chris Anderson explained it best： 16.（ ） It turns out that this length also works incredibly well online.It’s the length of a coffee break.So， you watch a great talk， and forward the link to two or three people.It can go viral very easily.By forcing speakers who are used to going on for 45 minutes to bring it down to 18， you get them to really think about what they want to say.What is the key point they want to communicate？ It has a clarifying effect.It brings discipline.
A.What is the 18-minute rule on earth？
B.They become increasingly frustrated， even angry.
C.Why do you think the 18-minute rule works so well？
D.It’s a fundamental rule that applies to all TED speakers.
E.He had no idea it would be viewed nearly 1.5 million times.
F.A long presentation isn’t necessarily more effective than a short one.
G.It is long enough to be serious and short enough to hold people’s attention.
UNIT 3 THE INTERNET
Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了利用人工智能技术生成图片的工具——Midjourney。
1.C 细节理解题。根据About Midjourney部分可知，Midjourney的主要功能是利用人工智能技术、根据人们所输入的指令和提示来生成图片。
2.A 细节理解题。根据Text to Image和Prompting Tip！两部分可知，在输入提示时，最好是简短明了，避免冗长的提示。
3.C 细节理解题。根据Subscription Plans部分可知，只有按年付费才能享受八折优惠；标准版按月付费是每月30美元，所以六个月应该是180美元。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者的母亲第一次当网约车司机，在紧张忙乱中频繁出错；幸运的是，她遇到了好心的乘客Matthew。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，作者的母亲打开Uber软件后，导航不出声、屏幕杂乱不堪、另外不知道该滑动还是点击屏幕上的按键，她高度紧张慌乱，然后就干脆关了手机。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知，Matthew给作者的母亲打了好几个电话都没人接听，另外，他当时看到屏幕上他叫的车朝相反的方向前进。由此可以推断，Matthew肯定是既吃惊又着急。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第五至七段可知，Matthew上车后不但帮助作者的母亲操作手机，而且他们一路上有说有笑。
7.D 推理判断题。根据故事结尾可知，面对作者母亲的严重失误，Matthew不但没有发火，而且帮助她一路上操作手机并下车后打了五星好评。由此推知，Matthew乐于助人且通情达理、善解人意。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。现在刷短视频已经成为一种主流娱乐方式，很多人每天都刷到无法自拔。然而研究发现，刷短视频尤其是不断地快进或跳过视频，事实上会让人感觉更无聊。
8.B 推理判断题。根据第二、三段可知，Katy Tam博士认为，无聊感和专注度密切相关。当我们不断切换视频或滑动视频时，我们的专注度会下降，这会让人们感觉更无聊。由此推知，要想降低无聊感，我们应该提高专注度。
9.D 细节理解题。根据第六、七段可知，Katy Tam博士之前的实验发现，参与实验者普遍表示，切换视频会降低无聊感，但她后来的实验发现，事实与此相反——切换视频会让人们感觉更无聊。
10.C 推理判断题。根据第七段可知，另外一项对159名大学生的实验结果发现，当他们能够随意切换着看一组单个时长5分钟的视频时，相比只看一个时长10分钟的视频，参与者感觉更无聊。这说明选择更多未必是好事。
11.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，Katy Tam博士认为，就像我们付钱去享受影院的沉浸式体验一样，观看视频的快感往往源于全身心的投入而不是不断地切换。由此可知，相比刷视频，看电影意味着更高程度的专注。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。演讲和报告多长时间为宜？作者提出了著名的“18分钟法则”。
12.E 上文提到Larry Smith所做的一个15分钟的演讲，E项是对此演讲的补充说明——它在网上被观看将近150万次。
13.C 下句Larry Smith的回答说明演讲报告需要控制在18分钟的原因，因此C项作为提问符合语境。
14.D 根据上下文可知，所有TED演讲都不能超过18分钟，对任何人都是一视同仁，故D项符合语境。
15.B 上文指出听冗长的演讲或报告时，听众会有压力并感到焦虑，B项是对此意的进一步补充说明。
16.G 上文提出问题：18分钟法则为什么会有效？下文是对此问题的回答，而G项是回答中最关键的一句。

第二步 连句成文
（2023·新课标Ⅰ卷阅读理解B）When John Todd was a child， he loved to explore the woods around his house， observing how nature solved problems.A dirty stream， for example， often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When he got older， John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture， medicine， and fisheries in college， John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria （细菌）？Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals？With the right combination of animals and plants， he figured， maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge （污泥）.First， he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little， these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks， John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it！Within weeks， it had all been digested， and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years， John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage （污水） from 1，600 homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou， a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor，” he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”

A.He was fond of traveling. B.He enjoyed being alone.

【素养·培育落实】
一、做真题
24.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的observing how nature solved problems和When he got older， John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.和第二段中的John went back to observing nature and asking questions以及第二段中的两个问题可以看出，John是一个具有探究精神的人。
25.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge （污泥） ...placed them in the tanks可知，John修建水箱是为了清理污泥中的有害物质，为此，他在水箱里放了一些动植物。第四段中的all that was left was pure water表明了将污泥放入水箱之后的变化。据此可以推断，John在水箱里放入污泥是为了测试他的生态机器的效果。
26.B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的Over the years， John has taken on many big jobs.可知，多年来，John做了很多大型工作。下文提到净化福州的运河水是为了举例说明John的发明及其理念在实践中的应用。
27.A 推理判断题。本文主要围绕John的疑问展开，即一条肮脏的溪流在穿过植物和流过微生物居住的岩石后，往往会变得清澈，这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的脏乱呢？正是在这个疑问的指引下，John发明了“生态设计”，因此，John发明的根源就在于自然的自我修复能力，且最后一段最后一句也表明了John的工作基于“自然可以进行自我修复”这一理念。
三、再利用
（四）1.①construct ②get used to
（五）1.When he got older 2.he could clean up waste
3.began to eat it
（六）插入 时间 rocks 例如，一条污浊的小溪，在流经植物和微小生物栖息的岩石后，通常会变得清澈。

真题剖析，深度探究
（2023·新课标Ⅰ卷阅读理解B）When John Todd was a child， he
loved to explore the woods around his house， observing how nature
solved problems.A dirty stream， for example， often became clear after
flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When
he got older， John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean
up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture， medicine， and fisheries in college，
John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain
plants trap harmful bacteria （细菌）？Which kinds of fish can eat
cancer-causing chemicals？With the right combination of animals and
plants， he figured， maybe he could clean up waste the way nature
did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from
some sludge （污泥）.First， he constructed a series of clear fiberglass
tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and
streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the
tanks and waited.Little by little， these different kinds of life got used to
one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks， John
added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-
machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it！Within weeks， it
had all been digested， and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years， John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a
greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage （污水） from 1，600 homes
in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water
in Fuzhou， a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does.“Life
on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor，” he
says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s
happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-
repair.”
24. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs？（ ）
A. He was fond of traveling.
B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind.
D. He longed to be a doctor.
√
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的observing how nature solved
problems和When he got older， John started to wonder if this process
could be used to clean up the messes people were making.和第二段中的
John went back to observing nature and asking questions以及第二段中的
两个问题可以看出，John是一个具有探究精神的人。
25. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks？（ ）
A. To feed the animals.
B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants.
D. To test the eco-machine.
√
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的The task John set for himself
was to remove harmful substances from some sludge （污泥） ...placed
them in the tanks可知，John修建水箱是为了清理污泥中的有害物质，
为此，他在水箱里放了一些动植物。第四段中的all that was left was
pure water表明了将污泥放入水箱之后的变化。据此可以推断，John在
水箱里放入污泥是为了测试他的生态机器的效果。
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou？（ ）
A. To review John’s research plans.
B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs.
D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中的Over the years， John has
taken on many big jobs.可知，多年来，John做了很多大型工作。下文
提到净化福州的运河水是为了举例说明John的发明及其理念在实践中
的应用。
√
27. What is the basis for John’s work？（ ）
A. Nature can repair itself.
B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse.
D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
√
解析： 推理判断题。本文主要围绕John的疑问展开，即一条肮脏
的溪流在穿过植物和流过微生物居住的岩石后，往往会变得清澈，这
个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的脏乱呢？正是在这个疑问的指引
下，John发明了“生态设计”，因此，John发明的根源就在于自然的
自我修复能力，且最后一段最后一句也表明了John的工作基于“自然
可以进行自我修复”这一理念。

About Midjourney
Midjourney is an artificial intelligence-based tool designed to create art from textual descriptions.Users input a textual prompt （提示）， and the AI generates an image that corresponds to that description.
You need to know how to use Midjourney if you want to create some
of the most exciting AI art possible.Midjourney lets users create anything
they can imagine from just text and can now also create text prompts from
existing images using the “describe” function.
Text to Image
1. Once you’ve joined the Midjourney Discord select a server to
join， to start it’s best to select a “Newbie” server.
2. Select the chat box at the bottom， and type “/imagine”， then
click the Imagine command.
3. Type in the prompt for the art you wish to create （the more detail
the better） and hit enter.A prompt is a short text phrase that the
Midjourney Bot interprets to produce an image.A well-crafted prompt can
help make unique and exciting images.A basic prompt can be as simple as
a single word， phrase or emoji .
4. Wait a few moments for the bot to work and keep an eye on the
chat where it will be posted.
Prompting Tip！
The Midjourney Bot works best with simple， short phrases that
describe what you want to see.Avoid long lists of requests and
instructions.
Simple， right？ Da Vinci never had it this easy.
Subscription Plans
Midjourney used to offer a free limited trial but now it is accepting
paid members only， membership starts at $10 for the basic plan， which
will get you around 200 image generations a month.
Midjourney has four subscription tiers.Pay month-to-month or for the

（2025·四川十校联考）My mother， who isn’t good at driving
and using technology， plans to drive for Uber， an online platform that
provides ride-hailing services.
One day on her way home from grocery shopping， she turns on the
app， which matches her quickly with a rider named Matthew.As she
makes her way toward him， the panic seizes her.The silent navigation
（导航）.The distracting screen.The swipe/tap confusion.It is just too
much.Naturally， she turns off her phone.She does not cancel the ride，
nor does she contact him to explain.She spins her car 180 degrees and
races toward home.
A few minutes later， Mom turns on her phone to check her text
messages.She has several missed calls from Matthew， who has been
watching her on his screen and has seen her drive in the opposite direction
for the past five minutes.
Matthew calls again.She hesitates， and then picks up the
phone.“Why are you driving in the opposite direction？” he
asks.“Listen，” she pleads.“This is my first time with Uber， and I
don’t know how to use it.”
Then Mom finds the destination and Matthew gets in the car.Matthew
is a handsome man in his early thirties with a kind face.Mom tells
Matthew he’ll need to manage the technology if he wants to arrive on
time.
“So， start the trip，” she barks and tosses her iPhone to
Matthew.He obliges.They laugh， talk and eventually arrive at Yorkdale-
albeit at the wrong entrance.
“I’m sorry，” she says.“It’s okay， Paddy，” laughs
Matthew.“Everyone is a beginner at some point.” He ends the trip，
returns her phone， and starts to climb out of the car.
“Matthew，” she calls from her window， “you better not rate
me one star.” “I’m rating you five right now！” he says， and he
really does.
Matthew disappears into the mall， smiling.She smiles， too，
proud that her first ride was such a success.

（外刊原创·NPR网站）Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can
be a hit-and-miss affair.But researchers have found that switching to
another video， or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one，
actually makes people more bored.
Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough， the lead
author of the research， said boredom was closely linked to attention.
“We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are
and how engaged we want to be，” she said.“When people keep
switching through videos， they become less engaged with the videos and
they are looking for something more interesting.This can lead to increased
feelings of boredom.”
The results appear to chime （一致） with other studies： As the
team notes， previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is
a driver for people to use social media or smartphones， the use of such
technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology： General， Tam
and colleagues report how they carried out seven experiments involving a
total of more than 1，200 participants.
The first， involving 140 participants， revealed that people tended
to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring，
while the second — an online survey involving 231 participants —
suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or
switch to another would make viewing a video less boring.
However， the team’s subsequent experiments suggest this is not
the case.Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants
felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they
were not able to， while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they
reported higher levels of boredom when given a collection of five-minute
videos they could switch between， compared with a single 10-minute
video.
“Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to
avoid boredom， this behaviour can actually make them feel more
bored，” Tam said.“Just as we pay for an immersive experience in a
movie theatre， enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in
videos rather than swiping through them.”

其是不断地快进或跳过视频，事实上会让人感觉更无聊。
8. What can help us relieve the boredom when watching videos according
to Dr Katy Tam？（ ）
A. Switching between videos.
B. Focusing on one single video.
C. Skipping forwards and backwards.
D. Searching for more interesting ones.
√
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二、三段可知，Katy Tam博士认为，
无聊感和专注度密切相关。当我们不断切换视频或滑动视频时，我们
的专注度会下降，这会让人们感觉更无聊。由此推知，要想降低无聊
感，我们应该提高专注度。
9. What can we learn about Tam’s subsequent experiments？（ ）
A. They were conducted online.
B. They provided a similar result.
C. They involved more participants.
D. They led to an opposite conclusion.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第六、七段可知，Katy Tam博士之前的
实验发现，参与实验者普遍表示，切换视频会降低无聊感，但她后来
的实验发现，事实与此相反——切换视频会让人们感觉更无聊。
√
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 7？（ ）
A. Short videos are more attractive.
B. Young people prefer long videos.
C. More choices can be a bad thing.
D. Switching between tasks is rewarding.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第七段可知，另外一项对159名大学生的
实验结果发现，当他们能够随意切换着看一组单个时长5分钟的视频
时，相比只看一个时长10分钟的视频，参与者感觉更无聊。这说明选
择更多未必是好事。
√
11. What did watching a movie mean compared with watching short
videos according to Tam？（ ）
A. More freedom.
B. Limited choices.
C. A higher level of boredom.
D. A higher level of concentration.
√
解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，Katy Tam博士认为，就
像我们付钱去享受影院的沉浸式体验一样，观看视频的快感往往源于
全身心的投入而不是不断地切换。由此可知，相比刷视频，看电影意
味着更高程度的专注。

（2025·贵阳模拟）The University of Waterloo Economics professor
Larry Smith gives three-hour lectures.In November 2011 he gave a 15-
minute talk for a TEDx audience.12.（ ） “For me， it was a
personal challenge to condense （压缩） my content into 18 minutes，”
Smith told me.“I think my students asked me to do it because they
thought it would kill me！”
“13.（ ）” I asked Smith.
“Thinking is hard work.In 18 minutes you can make a powerful
argument and attract people’s attention.”
Yes， thinking is hard work， and that’s why the 18-minute rule is
critical to the transfer of ideas.A TED presentation must not exceed 18
minutes in length.14.（ ） It doesn’t matter if you’re Larry
Smith， Bill Gates， or Tony Robbins — 18 minutes is all you get.
Eighteen minutes is the ideal length of time for a presentation.The
longer the presentation， the more the listeners have to organise，
comprehend， and remember.The burden increases along with the
listeners’ anxiety.15.（ ） If you must create one that’s longer，
build in soft breaks （stories， videos， demonstrations） every 10
minutes.
Why does the 18-minute rule work？ TED curator Chris Anderson
explained it best： 16.（ ） It turns out that this length also works
incredibly well online.It’s the length of a coffee break.So， you watch a
great talk， and forward the link to two or three people.It can go viral
very easily.By forcing speakers who are used to going on for 45 minutes
to bring it down to 18， you get them to really think about what they want
to say.What is the key point they want to communicate？ It has a
clarifying effect.It brings discipline.
A. What is the 18-minute rule on earth？
B. They become increasingly frustrated， even angry.
C. Why do you think the 18-minute rule works so well？
D. It’s a fundamental rule that applies to all TED speakers.
E. He had no idea it would be viewed nearly 1.5 million times.
F. A long presentation isn’t necessarily more effective than a short one.
G. It is long enough to be serious and short enough to hold people’s
attention.
