UNIT 4 A glimpse of the future
Ⅰ.阅读理解
（2025·玉溪开学考试）Artificial intelligence（AI） models have long surpassed （超出） just creating text responses and images. Now， with only one sentence， OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model， Sora， can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions.
Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios （屏幕高宽比） for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version， which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.
Apart from this， its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters， specific types of motion， and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests， it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example， reflections in the water change as a woman walks by.
However， the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example， if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video， the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video， known as a spacetime patch （时空补丁）， independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists， designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.

A.Sora’s strengths. B.Sora’s weaknesses.
C.Sora’s development. D.Sora’s popularity.
2.Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4？（ ）
A.To show Sora’s safety problems. B.To show Sora’s existing weaknesses.
C.To show Sora’s perfect performance. D.To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.
3.What can we know about Sora up to now？（ ）
A.It is being tested and improved. B.It has enjoyed great popularity.
C.It has made random attacks. D.It has been stopped.
4.What’s the best title for the text？ （ ）
A.Sora： A perfect text-to-video AI model B.Sora： A tool for chatting
C.Sora： Known as a spacetime patch D.Sora： Lead the way in creating videos
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2025·福建模拟）Aesthetic （审美） education aims to enhance aesthetic perception， experience aesthetic qualities， stimulate aesthetic creativity， and promote aesthetic judgement.
For kids， in order to be able to appreciate natural wonders， shapes and pictures， they must be able to first notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic education.5.（ ） Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice objects and forms is undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins with the noticing of aesthetic qualities.
6.（ ）This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy， enriching individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to experience aesthetically must also be developed. The cognitive （认知的） elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions. 7.（ ） The aim of this task is， with the aid of aesthetic qualities， to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense of aesthetic values.
It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. 8.（ ） Instead， it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed.
Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order to reveal the true value of beauty， we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process of aesthetic education， various types of knowledge， abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied. 9.（ ）
A.Aesthetic qualities have to be felt.
B.Beauty can be found all around us.
C.The beautiful will be likely to be created.
D.And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon.
E.In some way， this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities.
F.This way， the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beauty.
G.This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists.

（2025·沈阳教学质量监测）While enjoying my fresh lunch in a restaurant in Amsterdam， I noticed something odd.Customers coming in for something to eat ignored the person standing behind the counter （柜台）， preferring to 10 through a smart phone.
What was the crazy thing about this？They were just several 11 apart！In fact， they were so close that the staff member took a quick 12 at his screen to get a head start on picking the right vegetables — all without any words 13 .Now， I get it：Modern technology allows us to be more 14 ， but I might be witnessing something deeper： We prefer not to talk to each other anymore.
Think about it for a moment.When was the last time you naturally 15 a conversation with somebody you didn’t know？The chances are that you don’t even 16 ！Likely either you or the other person was “busy” with other things like 17 with a smart phone.Now， with the 18 of digital technologies， one can’t help but pay the 19 for modern efficiency：our ability to talk to strangers.
We shop， 20 a hotel， or order a taxi， all via an app. 21 with random strangers is becoming rarer and rarer.Yet there are surprising 22 of having even a short and simple conversation with strangers.You might learn something 23 ， and beyond doubt， it has the power to enrich your understanding of others and 24 a special bond in our modern world.

UNIT 4 A glimpse of the future
Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Sora这一先进人工智能模型能够根据文本指令生成高质量视频及其特点。
1.A 段落大意题。根据第二段和第三段内容可知，这两段主要描述了Sora的优点，包括它可以创建适合不同设备的视频、允许用户快速测试低质量版本以及能够生成真实流畅的视频场景等。因此，这两段的重点在于展示Sora的优势。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的However， the current model ... leads to another.可知，本段提到的例子是为了说明Sora在处理复杂场景时的一些局限性，比如难以准确展示物体运动或描述事件顺序等。因此，这个例子是用来展示Sora目前存在的弱点。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Sora正在测试和改进。
4.D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Sora在文本转视频方面的先进功能和技术优势，尽管它还存在一些限制，但它在视频创作领域显示出引领潮流的潜力。因此，D项为文章最佳标题。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了审美教育如何促进人们的审美感知、体验美感品质、激发审美创造力、推动审美能力的发展。
5.B 上文提到培养对美的鉴赏能力是美育的首要任务，下文提到如果孩子注意物体和形状的能力没有得到发展，他们就无法注意到特定的形状。B项（美在我们身边随处可见）承上启下，符合语境。
6.A 根据空后一句可知，A项（必须要体会到审美品质）的这个要求得到了空后一句的解释，指出了孩子要能够产生愉快的情感反应，这是审美品质的一种要求。
7.D 上文提到审美体验的能力也必须得到发展。我们在注意过程中所经历的认知因素也必须包括我们形成印象的情感基调。下文提到这项任务的目的是在审美品质的帮助下，丰富儿童和青少年的情感生活，培养审美价值观。D项（审美经验正是建立在这些基础之上的）承上启下，符合语境。
8.G 上文提到让孩子们参加能发展他们创造能力的活动是至关重要的。G项（这并不是说要培养艺术家的审美能力）符合语境，说明了不是要把孩子的创造能力打造成艺术家的水准，而是要让孩子在日常生活中有发现美的能力。
9.F 根据上文可知，F项（这样，孩子就会发展出判断美的基础）符合语境，说明了制定合理的评价标准有利于培养孩子的审美能力。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了随着数字技术的兴起，人们通过手机来完成生活中的各种事情，结果失去了和陌生人交谈的能力。
10.C 上文说顾客们进来吃东西的时候，忽视了站在柜台后的人，此处是说他们更喜欢通过智能手机来点餐。order点（酒菜等）；deliver传送，递送。
11.D 根据下文they were so close that the staff member ... on picking the right vegetables可知，工作人员能看到顾客的手机屏幕，所以他们相距只有几厘米远。
12.C 根据at his screen可知，工作人员快速看了一下顾客的手机屏幕，以便提前做好准备去挑选正确的蔬菜。
13.A 根据下文We prefer not to talk to each other anymore可知，这一切是在一句话也没有说的情况下进行的。
14.A 根据常识可知，现代技术使我们更加高效。efficient效率高的；enthusiastic热情的；effective有效的；energetic精力充沛的。
15.B 根据a conversation with somebody可知，这里是说上一次和陌生人进行交谈的时候。engage in a conversation表示“进行交谈”。end up最终，处于；engage in从事，参与；make up编造，构成；go on继续，发生。
16.C 这里是指很可能你甚至都不记得上次和陌生人说话是什么时候了。
17.C 根据busy和with a smart phone可知，很有可能你或对方正忙于其他事情，比如玩手机。record录音；study学习，研究；play玩耍，玩乐；calculate计算。
18.D 根据modern efficiency可知，正是随着数字技术的兴起，人们的效率得以提高。
19.B 参见上题解析。pay the price for表示“为……付出代价”，为固定短语。
20.B 根据all via an app可知，我们通过应用程序购物、预订酒店或打车。decorate装饰；book预订；build建造；repair修理。
21.A 根据上文We shop ... order a taxi， all via an app.可知，人们通过手机应用程序完成生活中的各种事情，所以和陌生人的接触变少了。contact接触；work工作；conflict冲突；reunion重逢。
22.B 根据下文You might learn something ... our modern world.可知，和陌生人交谈有很多好处。interest利益；benefit益处；disadvantage不利因素；influence影响。
23.D 根据语境和常识可知，和陌生人交谈可以让你学到意想不到的东西，和陌生人交谈可以充当现代生活中的一种特殊纽带。unrealistic不切实际的；unsuitable不适当的；unreasonable不合理的；unexpected出乎意料的。
24.A 参见上题解析。serve as充当，担任；refer to提到，谈到，说起；account for导致，解释，（数量、比例上）占；consist of由……组成。

Nowadays， with the development of technology， artificial
intelligence is becoming increasingly popular.It has brought us great
convenience in our daily lives， such as facial recognition and voice
assistants.Moreover， AI robots can assist humans in completing
dangerous tasks， which reduces the risk of human injury.However， we
should also be aware of the potential drawbacks of AI technology.For
example，
it may replace people’s jobs and make people more susceptible to being
victimized by illegal or immoral activities.Therefore， we need to
regulate and analyse the use of AI technology to ensure its benefits
outweigh its harms.I reckon that we should advocate the development of
AI technology， but we must also be cautious and responsible when using
it.

技能·锤炼提升
统筹组合，全面训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
（2025·玉溪开学考试）Artificial intelligence（AI） models have
long surpassed （超出） just creating text responses and images. Now，
with only one sentence， OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model， Sora，
can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely
following your content instructions.
Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar
functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios （屏幕
高宽比） for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in
lower quality before making the high-quality version， which helps speed
up output according to the user’s requests.
Apart from this， its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth
manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several
characters， specific types of motion， and accurate subject and
background details. Beyond the user’s requests， it also understands
how these elements exist in the real world. For example， reflections in
the water change as a woman walks by.
However， the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble
accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not
get how one action leads to another. For example， if someone eats part
of a cookie in a Sora-made video， the cookie might not look like it’s
been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to
describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns
each basic unit of a video， known as a spacetime patch （时空补丁），
independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now
inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s
system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora
has also been open to some visual artists， designers and filmmakers.
Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve
creative professionals.

and pictures， they must be able to first notice them. This is why the
development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of
aesthetic education.5.（ ） Kids are incapable of noticing particular
shapes if their ability to notice objects and forms is undeveloped. The

restaurant in Amsterdam， I noticed something odd.Customers coming in
for something to eat ignored the person standing behind the counter （柜
台）， preferring to 10 through a smart phone.
What was the crazy thing about this？They were just several 11
apart！In fact， they were so close that the staff member took a
quick 12 at his screen to get a head start on picking the right
vegetables — all without any words 13 .Now， I get it：Modern
technology allows us to be more 14 ， but I might be witnessing
something deeper： We prefer not to talk to each other anymore.
Think about it for a moment.When was the last time you
naturally 15 a conversation with somebody you didn’t know？The
chances are that you don’t even 16 ！Likely either you or the other
person was “busy” with other things like 17 with a smart
phone.Now， with the 18 of digital technologies， one can’t help
but pay the 19 for modern efficiency：our ability to talk to strangers.
We shop， 20 a hotel， or order a taxi， all via an app. 21
with random strangers is becoming rarer and rarer.Yet there are
surprising 22 of having even a short and simple conversation with
strangers.You might learn something 23 ， and beyond doubt， it has
the power to enrich your understanding of others and 24 a special
bond in our modern world.
