(2024·常州高二下学期质检)
The maker of ChatGPT on Thursday unveiled its next leap into generative artificial intelligence with a tool that instantly makes short videos in response to written commands.
San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, isn’t the first of its kind.Google, Meta and the start-up Runway ML are among the other companies to have demonstrated similar technology.
But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI — some after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts (提示) — surprised observers while also raising fears about the ethical and societal problems.The negative effects of generative AI will be a critical topic for debate in 2024.It’s a substantial issue that every business and every person will need to face this year.
“An instructional cooking session for home-made dumplings hosted by a grandmother social media influencer set in a Tuscan country kitchen with cinematic lighting,” was a prompt suggested on X by a freelance photographer from New Hampshire.Altman responded a short time later with a realistic video that depicted what the prompt described.
The tool isn’t yet publicly available and OpenAI has revealed limited information about how it was built.The company, which has been sued (控告) by some authors and The New York Times over its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT, also hasn’t disclosed what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora.(OpenAI pays an undisclosed fee to The Associated Press to license its text news archive).
OpenAI said in a blog post that it’s engaging with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
“We are working with red teamers — domain experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content, and bias — who will be testing the model seriously,” the company said.“We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
1.What can we learn about Sora?
A.It was the first to make videos.
B.It beat its competitors in speed.
C.It produces videos based on instructions.
D.It creates videos completely independently.
2.What did Sam Altman do on X?
A.He conducted a survey.
B.He gave a demonstration.
C.He made a presentation.
D.He performed an experiment.
3.Why was OpenAI sued by some authors?
A.It copied their works.
B.It trained Sora illegally.
C.It released Sora without permission.
D.It trained ChatGPT with their works.
4.What’s the purpose of OpenAI’s blog post?
A.To show Sora is difficult to release.
B.To prove Sora is wonderful enough.
C.To prove they are cautious about Sora.
D.To show they have worked hard on Sora.

(2024·淄博高二下学期月考)In an era of endless notifications from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways to manage? And is the way we think, focus and process information changing as a result?
Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States.Wolf is concerned that the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices — and the speed at which we necessarily have to function — has changed us by removing from us the ability to be present.And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult.
Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US.He researches how apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to capture a user’s attention.“There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to capture your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site, to get you to click on more ads.”
Daniel Le Roux, a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”.“Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us.”
Media multitasking, like skimming, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information.And media multitasking comes at a cognitive (认知的) cost, Le Roux points out.“We bring what we might call a switch cost, which means our performance in our focal task is going to suffer.If you think of driving as the focal task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they’re driving is because it distracts them from the task of driving.”
5.What is the result of our interaction with screens and devices according to Maryanne Wolf?
A.Having trouble in concentrating.
B.Becoming addicted to the Internet.
C.Having access to more information.
D.Building better relationships with others.
6.What does Kai Lukoff try to stress in the third paragraph?
A.Why social media apps are popular.
B.How social media platforms operate.
C.Platform workers’ efforts to attract users.
D.Great services of social media platforms.
7.Why does Daniel Le Roux give the example of driving?
A.To explain what media multitasking is.
B.To show the harm of media multitasking.
C.To explain why we’re media multitasking.
D.To show the benefits of media multitasking.
8.How does the author develop the passage?
A.By quoting some experts’ views.
B.By providing some typical examples.
C.By using the results of some surveys.
D.By analyzing some social phenomena.

(2024·浙江四校高二下学期联考)The world of writing is changing.Things have moved very quickly from keyboards and predictive text.The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) means robots can now write human-quality text without having hands at all.
Recent improvements in speech-to-text software mean even human “writers” do not need to touch a keyboard, let alone a pen. 9 , without having to lift a finger.The word “writer” may come to mean something very different, as people compose text in multiple ways in an increasingly digital world.
However, learning to handwrite is still a key component of the literacy curriculum in primary schools. 10 .But there are a number of important reasons why handwriting will still be taught in schools.
·It helps you remember
Handwriting has important cognitive benefits, including for memory.Research suggests traditional pen-and-paper notes are remembered better, due to the greater complexity of the handwriting process. 11 .In many cases, students become better readers through practising writing.
· 12
Handwriting does not need electricity, devices, batteries, software, subscriptions, a fast Internet connection, a keyboard, charging time or the many other things on which digital writing depends.It only needs pen and paper and can be done anywhere.Sometimes handwriting is the easiest and best option.
·It is about thinking
Most importantly, learning to write and learning to think are closely connected. 13 .They are developed and organised as they are composed.Thinking is too important to be outsourced to robots!
Teaching writing is about giving students a toolkit of multiple writing strategies.Handwriting will remain an important component of this toolkit for the foreseeable future.
A.It is very accessible
B.Ideas are formed as students write
C.It has become part of your daily routine
D.Writers of the future will be talkers and thinkers
E.And learning to read and handwrite are closely linked
F.Good handwriting can help you make a good first impression

JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA①”
[1]Cholera used to② be one of the most feared diseases in the world, until a British doctor, John Snow, showed how it could be overcome. This illness causes severe③ diarrhoea④, dehydration⑤, and even death.In the early 19th century, when an outbreak⑥ of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died from the disease.[2]As a young doctor, John Snow became frustrated⑦ because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera. In time, he rose to become a famous doctor, and even attended to⑧ Queen Victoria [3]when she gave birth.However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all⑨.
[1]until在句中引导时间状语从句;how引导的从句作动词showed的宾语;过去分词feared作定语,修饰名词diseases;John Snow是a British doctor的同位语。
[2]because引导原因状语从句;“疑问词how+动词不定式短语”作动词knew的宾语。
[3]when引导时间状语从句。
In general⑩, doctors in those days had two contradictory theories to explain how cholera spread.[4]One theory was that bad air caused the disease.[5]The other was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water. Snow subscribed to the second theory.It was correct, but he still needed proof .Consequently , when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate .[6]He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why.
[4][5]两句中的that均引导表语从句,不作任何成分,只起连接作用,且不可省略。
[6]第一个that引导的从句作动词discovered的宾语;在该从句中含有一个so ...that ...句型,该句型中that引导结果状语从句。
[7]Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There were multiple deaths near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and 40).However, some households (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths.These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street.They had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump.[8]Snow suspected that the water pump was to blame . What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street.[9]It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs.Accordingly , he had the handle of the pump removed [10]so that it could not be used.Through this intervention , the disease was stopped in its tracks .
[7] 该句中的介词短语by marking on a map作方式状语修饰动词began;where和who引导定语从句,分别修饰先行词places和those。
[8]that引导的从句作动词suspected的宾语;be to blame意为“该受责备”,常用主动形式表示被动意义。
[9]It seemed that ...意为“好像……”;had it delivered是“have+宾语+过去分词”结构,过去分词作宾语补足语,表示“主语让别人做某事”。
[10]so that在句中引导目的状语从句。
[11]The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste.Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London.Some companies sold water from the River Thames [12]that was polluted by raw waste.[13]The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.
[11]连接词that在句中引导表语从句。
[12]关系代词that在句中引导定语从句,修饰先行词the River Thames。
[13]句子主干使用了一个比较级结构;句中两个关系代词who都引导定语从句,分别修饰先行词people和those; be likely to do sth意为“有可能做某事”。
Through Snow’s tireless efforts , water companies began to sell clean water, and [14]the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease .However, cholera is still a problem.Each year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from it.Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks to the work of John Snow.Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics , Snow transformed the way [15]scientists study diseases.For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology .
[14]该句谓语动词是saw,使用了拟人的修辞手法,意为“见证;目睹”。
[15]此处是省略了that或in which的定语从句,修饰先行词the way。

约翰·斯诺战胜“霍乱王”
在英国医生约翰·斯诺向人们展示如何战胜霍乱之前,霍乱曾是世界上最令人恐惧的疾病之一。它可导致严重腹泻、脱水,甚至死亡。十九世纪初,霍乱爆发,肆虐欧洲,数百万人丧命。由于当时无人知道如何预防或治疗霍乱,年轻的约翰·斯诺医生很沮丧。后来,他成了一位名医,甚至照料分娩的维多利亚女王。然而,他始终没有放弃彻底根除霍乱的愿望。
关于霍乱的蔓延方式,当时医生大体上有两种截然不同的看法。一种看法是空气污染引发,另一种看法是食物或饮用水中的细菌感染导致霍乱。斯诺赞同第二种看法。这一看法是正确的,但他仍需要证据。因此,1854年伦敦爆发霍乱时,斯诺便开始调查。他发现霍乱疫情在两条街道上尤为严重,十天内就有500多人死亡。他决心查明原因。
斯诺首先在地图上标出所有死者住所的确切位置。宽街水泵附近有多例死亡(尤其是16号、37号、38号及40号住宅),但是有些住户(如宽街20号和21号以及剑桥街8号和9号)却无人死亡。这些幸存者在剑桥街7号的酒吧工作,酒吧为他们提供免费啤酒,因此没有喝水泵抽上来的水。斯诺怀疑水泵就是罪魁祸首。此外,在伦敦的另一个区域,一名妇女和她的女儿从宽街搬来后死于霍乱。该妇女似乎非常喜欢从水泵抽上来的水,每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来。有了这个证据,约翰·斯诺就能够宣布水泵抽上来的水携带霍乱病菌。于是,他让人拆掉了水泵的把手,这样水泵就用不成了。这一干预举措遏制了疾病的蔓延。
事情的真相是宽街水泵抽上来的水被废弃物污染了。此外,斯诺之后还证明了另外几起霍乱病例与伦敦多家饮用水公司有关。有些公司出售的水取自被未经处理的废弃物污染的泰晤士河。与饮用纯净水或开水的人相比,饮用被污染的水的人更容易染上霍乱。
经过斯诺的不懈努力,饮用水公司开始出售洁净水,世界各地霍乱的威胁大幅降低。然而,霍乱仍是问题。每年全球有数百万人感染霍乱,其中许多人因此丧生。幸运的是,由于约翰·斯诺的努力,我们现在知道了如何预防霍乱。此外,通过使用地图和数据,斯诺改变了科学家研究疾病的方式。因此,斯诺被誉为现代流行病学之父。

JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA①”
[1]Cholera used to② be one of the most feared diseases in the
world, until a British doctor, John Snow, showed how it could be
overcome. This illness causes severe③ diarrhoea④, dehydration⑤, and
even death.In the early 19th century, when an outbreak⑥ of cholera hit
Europe, millions of people died from the disease.[2]As a young
doctor, John Snow became frustrated⑦ because no one knew how to
prevent or treat cholera. In time, he rose to become a famous doctor,
and even attended to⑧ Queen Victoria [3]when she gave birth.However,
he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all⑨.
[1]until在句中引导时间状语从句;how引导的从句作动词

In general⑩, doctors in those days had two contradictory theories
to explain how cholera spread.[4]One theory was that bad air caused the
disease.[5]The other was that cholera was caused by an infection from
germs in food or water. Snow subscribed to the second theory.It was
correct, but he still needed proof .Consequently , when an outbreak
of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate .[6]He
discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe
that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out
why.
[4][5]两句中的that均引导表语从句,不作任何成分,只起连接

[7]Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those
who died had lived. There were multiple deaths near the water pump
in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and
40).However, some households (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street,
and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths.These people worked
in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street.They had been given free beer, and so
had not drunk the water from the pump.[8]Snow suspected that the
water pump was to blame .
What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter
had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street.[9]It seemed
that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it
delivered to her house every day. As a result of this evidence, John
Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera
germs.Accordingly , he had the handle of the pump removed
[10]so that it could not be used.Through this intervention , the disease
was stopped in its tracks .
[7] 该句中的介词短语by marking on a map作方式状语修饰动词
began;where和who引导定语从句,分别修饰先行词places和those。

[11]The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had
been infected by waste.Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link
between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in
London.Some companies sold water from the River Thames [12]that was
polluted by raw waste.[13]The people who drank this water were much
more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.

year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from
it.Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks to the
work of John Snow.Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics ,

【参考译文】
约翰·斯诺战胜“霍乱王”
在英国医生约翰·斯诺向人们展示如何战胜霍乱之前,霍乱曾是世
界上最令人恐惧的疾病之一。它可导致严重腹泻、脱水,甚至死亡。
十九世纪初,霍乱爆发,肆虐欧洲,数百万人丧命。由于当时无人知
道如何预防或治疗霍乱,年轻的约翰·斯诺医生很沮丧。后来,他成了
一位名医,甚至照料分娩的维多利亚女王。然而,他始终没有放弃彻
底根除霍乱的愿望。
关于霍乱的蔓延方式,当时医生大体上有两种截然不同的看
法。一种看法是空气污染引发,另一种看法是食物或饮用水中的
细菌感染导致霍乱。斯诺赞同第二种看法。这一看法是正确的,
但他仍需要证据。因此,1854年伦敦爆发霍乱时,斯诺便开始调
查。他发现霍乱疫情在两条街道上尤为严重,十天内就有500多人
死亡。他决心查明原因。
斯诺首先在地图上标出所有死者住所的确切位置。宽街水泵附近
有多例死亡(尤其是16号、37号、38号及40号住宅),但是有些住户
(如宽街20号和21号以及剑桥街8号和9号)却无人死亡。这些幸存者
在剑桥街7号的酒吧工作,酒吧为他们提供免费啤酒,因此没有喝水
泵抽上来的水。斯诺怀疑水泵就是罪魁祸首。此外,在伦敦的另一个
区域,一名妇女和她的女儿从宽街搬来后死于霍乱。该妇女似乎非常
喜欢从水泵抽上来的水,每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来。有了这
个证据,约翰·斯诺就能够宣布水泵抽上来的水携带霍乱病菌。于是,
他让人拆掉了水泵的把手,这样水泵就用不成了。这一干预举措遏制
了疾病的蔓延。
事情的真相是宽街水泵抽上来的水被废弃物污染了。此外,斯诺
之后还证明了另外几起霍乱病例与伦敦多家饮用水公司有关。有些公
司出售的水取自被未经处理的废弃物污染的泰晤士河。与饮用纯净水
或开水的人相比,饮用被污染的水的人更容易染上霍乱。
经过斯诺的不懈努力,饮用水公司开始出售洁净水,世界各地霍
乱的威胁大幅降低。然而,霍乱仍是问题。每年全球有数百万人感染
霍乱,其中许多人因此丧生。幸运的是,由于约翰·斯诺的努力,我们
现在知道了如何预防霍乱。此外,通过使用地图和数据,斯诺改变了
科学家研究疾病的方式。因此,斯诺被誉为现代流行病学之父。

(2024·常州高二下学期质检)
The maker of ChatGPT on Thursday unveiled its next leap into
generative artificial intelligence with a tool that instantly makes short
videos in response to written commands.
San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called
Sora, isn’t the first of its kind.Google, Meta and the start-up Runway
ML are among the other companies to have demonstrated similar
technology.
But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI — some after
CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written
prompts (提示) — surprised observers while also raising fears about the
ethical and societal problems.The negative effects of generative AI will be
a critical topic for debate in 2024.It’s a substantial issue that every
business and every person will need to face this year.
“An instructional cooking session for home-made dumplings hosted
by a grandmother social media influencer set in a Tuscan country kitchen
with cinematic lighting,” was a prompt suggested on X by a freelance
photographer from New Hampshire.Altman responded a short time later
with a realistic video that depicted what the prompt described.
The tool isn’t yet publicly available and OpenAI has revealed
limited information about how it was built.The company, which has been
sued (控告) by some authors and The New York Times over its use of
copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT, also hasn’t disclosed
what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora.(OpenAI pays an
undisclosed fee to The Associated Press to license its text news archive).
OpenAI said in a blog post that it’s engaging with artists,
policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
“We are working with red teamers — domain experts in areas like
misinformation, hateful content, and bias — who will be testing the
model seriously,” the company said.“We’re also building tools to
help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell
when a video was generated by Sora.”

(2024·淄博高二下学期月考)In an era of endless notifications
from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to
more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways
to manage? And is the way we think, focus and process information
changing as a result?
Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse
Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United
States.Wolf is concerned that the amount of interaction we have with our
screens and devices — and the speed at which we necessarily have to
function — has changed us by removing from us the ability to be
present.And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming
completely involved in an activity is difficult.
Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the
US. He researches how apps, social media platforms and technology
designers attempt to capture a user’s attention.“There are a thousand or
more engineers, developers, designers on the other side of the screen
who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to
capture your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site, to get
you to click on more ads.”
Daniel Le Roux, a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in
South Africa, looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re
“media multitasking”.“Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large
way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been
created around us.”
Media multitasking, like skimming, is an adaptive response to an
environment filled with information.And media multitasking comes at a
cognitive (认知的) cost, Le Roux points out.“We bring what we
might call a switch cost, which means our performance in our focal task
is going to suffer.If you think of driving as the focal task, the reason we
prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they’re driving is
because it distracts them from the task of driving.”

A. Why social media apps are popular.
B. How social media platforms operate.
C. Platform workers’ efforts to attract users.
D. Great services of social media platforms.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Kai Lukoff指出,在那些
app以及社交媒体平台的背后,都有很多工作人员在想尽一切办法
吸引网络用户的注意力。
7. Why does Daniel Le Roux give the example of driving?
A. To explain what media multitasking is.
B. To show the harm of media multitasking.
C. To explain why we’re media multitasking.
D. To show the benefits of media multitasking.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知,Daniel Le Roux提出了
media multitasking这一概念,然后通过列举驾驶员禁用手机这一例
子,来说明媒体多任务带来的危害。
8. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By quoting some experts’ views.
B. By providing some typical examples.
C. By using the results of some surveys.
D. By analyzing some social phenomena.

(2024·浙江四校高二下学期联考)The world of writing is
changing.Things have moved very quickly from keyboards and predictive
text.The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) means robots can
now write human-quality text without having hands at all.
Recent improvements in speech-to-text software mean even human
“writers” do not need to touch a keyboard, let alone a pen. 9 ,
without having to lift a finger.The word “writer” may come to mean
something very different, as people compose text in multiple ways in an
increasingly digital world.
However, learning to handwrite is still a key component of the
literacy curriculum in primary schools. 10 .But there are a number of
important reasons why handwriting will still be taught in schools.
·It helps you remember
Handwriting has important cognitive benefits, including for
memory.Research suggests traditional pen-and-paper notes are
remembered better, due to the greater complexity of the handwriting
process. 11 .In many cases, students become better readers through
practising writing.
· 12
Handwriting does not need electricity, devices, batteries,
software, subscriptions, a fast Internet connection, a keyboard,
charging time or the many other things on which digital writing depends.It
only needs pen and paper and can be done anywhere.Sometimes
handwriting is the easiest and best option.
·It is about thinking
Most importantly, learning to write and learning to think are closely
connected. 13 .They are developed and organised as they are
composed.Thinking is too important to be outsourced to robots!
Teaching writing is about giving students a toolkit of multiple writing
strategies.Handwriting will remain an important component of this toolkit
for the foreseeable future.
A. It is very accessible
B. Ideas are formed as students write
C. It has become part of your daily routine
D. Writers of the future will be talkers and thinkers
E. And learning to read and handwrite are closely linked
F. Good handwriting can help you make a good first impression
G. Parents may be wondering whether learning to write by hand is worth
the trouble
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。在电子设备越来越普及的今天,我

9. D 此处上下文都在讨论writer这一职业和这一单词含义在未来面临
的变化,因此D项符合语境。
10. G 空前一句指出学习手写仍然是小学读写课程的重要组成部
分。G项承接上文,说明家长对此的顾虑:是否还值得费这么大劲学
习写字。
本文是一篇说明文。在电子设备越来越普及的今天,我

11. E 空后一句指出书写可以促进学生阅读能力的提升,这正好是对

12. A 设空处为段落小标题。下文主要说明了手写的便捷性:无需
电源、无需设备,也无需网络,随时随地都可以进行。A项正好是对
此段大意的准确概括。
13. B 上下文都在论述书写和思维的紧密相连,B项(书写的过程同
