Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了直线这一概念在科学和生活中的含义。文章首先指出宇宙中不存在直线这个事实是不可否认的,并从物理学的角度进行了解释,还通过历史阐述了直线概念在早期欧洲政治和社会中的影响。最后,作者指出生活中并没有所谓的直线前进,而是充满着曲折、变化和冒险。
1.A 推理判断题。第一段“We cannot argue with reality. We cannot argue with science. Therefore, we simply cannot argue with the fact that there are no straight lines in the universe.”指出从现实和科学出发,宇宙中没有直线,后面的段落围绕这一点展开。因此,本段主要是引入文章的话题:宇宙中没有直线。故选A项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The brain forms the concept of a straight line to simplify what you see in nature. Consider it a tool for the mind to recognize reality.”(大脑形成直线的概念是为了简化你在自然中看到的东西。把它看作是大脑认识现实的工具。)可推知,如果没有直线概念,自然界的东西将看起来非常复杂。故选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Greek thinkers and scholars like Aristotle in the 5th century already proved that the Earth was a globe, but many Europeans at that time did not believe in this idea! However, some Europeans during the Age of Exploration denied this belief. Just as the famous Italian scientist Galileo Galilei was persecuted (迫害) for advocating a heliocentric (日心的) model of the solar system, many thinkers like Giordano Bruno were shamed for believing that the Earth was round.”可知,很长一段时间中,很多欧洲人并不相信地球是一个球体的想法,在大航海时代那些有正确想法的科学家和思想家还受到压迫。由此可知,证明地球是个球体的道路漫长而又艰难。故选C项。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中“Therefore, we simply cannot argue with the fact that there are no straight lines in the universe.”可知,作者向我们论述了宇宙中不存在直线的事实,进而谈到人生是没有直线的。因此,D项“直线:根本不存在”契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了人工智能模型Sora对电影产业的影响,但专家表示Sora不会取代电影产业。
1.G 根据上文“Videos generated by Sora display strong consistency when it comes to characters and backgrounds, and support continuous shots of up to 60 seconds, including highly detailed settings and multiple camera angles.”(Sora生成的视频在人物和背景方面显示出强大的一致性,并支持长达60秒的连续拍摄,包括高度详细的设置和多个相机角度。)可知,空处承接上文,说明使用Sora的意义。故G选项(这意味着,只要一个文本描述,使用Sora的普通人就可能可以成为“伟大的导演”。)符合语境。故选G项。
2.E 根据上文“Meanwhile, experts say not to worry excessively, as the integration of AI will help optimize certain occupations, attract more innovative talents and bring new possibilities to the film and television industry.”(与此同时,专家表示不必过度担心,因为人工智能的整合将有助于优化某些职业,吸引更多创新人才,并为影视行业带来新的可能性。)可知,空处承接上文,说明Sora给影视业带来的机会大于挑战。故E选项(对于全球影视业来说,Sora无疑“与其说是挑战,不如说是机遇”。)切题。故选E项。
3.B 根据下文“Students learning film production can view Sora as a helpful assistant to unleash their sci-fi imagination.”可知,Sora可能会被应用于影视教育和培训,成为一个有用的助手。故B选项(它也有可能在未来被纳入影视教育和培训。)切题。故选B项。
4.F 根据上文“Facing the panic signals that AI tools will threaten the global film industry, film insiders argued that the fundamental DNA of film is art and that human creativity cannot be replaced.”(面对人工智能工具将威胁全球电影产业的恐慌信号,电影业内人士辩称,艺术是电影的基本,人类的创造力是不可替代的。)和下文“Many directors, screenwriters and actors achieve great works by continuously integrating personal emotions and life experiences. This kind of individual creativity cannot be imitated by machines like Sora.”(许多导演、编剧和演员通过不断融合个人情感和生活经历来创作伟大的作品。这种个人创造力是Sora这样的机器无法模仿的。)可知,空处承接上文,说明人类的创造力不可替代的原因,且要引出个人情感和生活经历对创作伟大作品的重要性。故F选项(创意和电影制作需要情感体验和个人记忆的整合。)切题。故选F项。
5.D 根据下文“However, just as the invention of printing does not replace literature or the invention of photography does not replace painting, Sora and its subsequent updates and upgrades will not replace film because the core of these art forms is creativity, which is a unique aspect of human thought.”(然而,正如印刷术的发明没有取代文学,或者摄影术的发明也没有取代绘画一样,Sora及其后续的更新和升级也不会取代电影产业,因为这些艺术形式的核心是创造力,这是人类思想的一个独特方面。)可知Sora不会取代电影产业,下文与空处为转折关系,说明Sora可能促使变化产生,取代某些岗位。故D选项(毫无疑问,Sora将促使现有工业生产发生变化,甚至可能取代一些工作岗位。)切题。故选D项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员一直在应用人工智能来监测生物多样性,并为保护一些物种免受威胁做出更大的努力。
1.being threatened 考查非谓语动词。protect sb from doing“保护某人免受……”为固定短语,动词threaten与它的逻辑主语some species构成被动关系,故空处应用threaten的动名词的被动式作宾语。故填being threatened。
2.to analyse 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,空处应用不定式作后置定语,修饰名词capacity。故填to analyse。
3.at 考查介词。at a rate“以……的速度”为固定搭配。故填at。
4.extinction 考查名词。空处应用名词作介词of的宾语,表抽象意义“灭绝”,不可数。故填extinction。
5.but 考查连词。分析句子可知,上文提到“人工智能并不完美”,下文提到“可以促进重要的发现”,上下文之间是转折关系,需用连词but连接。故填but。
6.which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处应填关系代词引导限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,指代先行词organization,指物,应用关系代词which或that。故填which/that。
7.monitoring 考查非谓语动词。位于介词besides之后,需用动名词作宾语。故填monitoring。
8.is documented 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语it和document为被动关系,需用被动语态,主语为it,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填is documented。
9.statistics 考查名词复数。空处表示泛指概念,故用可数名词复数形式。故填statistics。
10.evolutionary 考查形容词。空处用形容词修饰空后的名词bio-systems。故填evolutionary。单元小测(Unit 4)

We cannot argue with reality. We cannot argue with science. Therefore, we simply cannot argue with the fact that there are no straight lines in the universe.
Let’s start with science. The science of a straight line falls under the subject of physics. It might seem like a complicated topic, but the theory behind it is pretty simple. If you start rowing in a boat from one place and keep sailing, the concept of the curved (曲面的) Earth will take you in a circle and you will end up where you started. The brain forms the concept of a straight line to simplify what you see in nature. Consider it a tool for the mind to recognize reality.
The concept of straight lines was controversial and heavily influenced the politics and society of Europe from the 15th century to the 17th century. Greek thinkers and scholars like Aristotle in the 5th century already proved that the Earth was a globe, but many Europeans at that time did not believe in this idea! However, some Europeans during the Age of Exploration denied this belief. Just as the famous Italian scientist Galileo Galilei was persecuted (迫害) for advocating a heliocentric (日心的) model of the solar system, many thinkers like Giordano Bruno were shamed for believing that the Earth was round.
Well, my friends, let’s move on to life. The concept of nothing going in a straight line can be associated with life as much as it relates to science and architecture. Whenever you do something, it never turns out to play out exactly as planned. I especially know that as a thirteen-year-old! Life is a rough road—every time you go forward, it is followed by two steps back or to the side. Just like how science explains it, life is a curvy path full of unexpected twists, turns and adventures that nobody can ever predict.
( )1.What does Paragraph 1 function as
A.An introduction to the topic.
B.A means to attract readers.
C.An explanation of a common sense.
D.A proof of the author’s opinion.
( )2.What would happen without the concept of straight lines
A.The mind could not recognize reality.
B.Things in nature might look complicated.
C.What you see in nature could seem simple.
D.People in the 16th century might find the Earth flat.
( )3.Which can best describe the road of proving the Earth round
A.Plain and smooth.
B.Easy but fruitless.
C.Long and tough.
D.Bothersome but safe.
( )4.What’s the best title for the text

The beginning of the Year of the Dragon has foreshadowed “a song of ice and fire” with the emergence of Sora, a text-to-video AI model. Videos generated by Sora display strong consistency when it comes to characters and backgrounds, and support continuous shots of up to 60 seconds, including highly detailed settings and multiple camera angles. 1.
However, film insiders notes that currently, AI-generated 60-second videos cannot support the creation of a full-length movie, and the idea that AI tools will “bomb” the film and television industry is so far unfounded. Meanwhile, experts say not to worry excessively, as the integration of AI will help optimize certain occupations, attract more innovative talents and bring new possibilities to the film and television industry. 2.
From the age of film stock to the digital age, from practical effects to digital effects, from 2D to 3D, Sora, like any technological revolution in the century-long history of film, will improve production efficiency, update production and may even create new genres and trends in film-making. 3. Students learning film production can view Sora as a helpful assistant to unleash their sci-fi imagination.
Facing the panic signals that AI tools will threaten the global film industry, film insiders argued that the fundamental DNA of film is art and that human creativity cannot be replaced.4. Many directors, screenwriters and actors achieve great works by continuously integrating personal emotions and life experiences. This kind of individual creativity cannot be imitated by machines like Sora.
5. However, just as the invention of printing does not replace literature or the invention of photography does not replace painting, Sora and its subsequent updates and upgrades will not replace film because the core of these art forms is creativity, which is a unique aspect of human thought.
A.With OpenAI’s iteration speed, producing AI videos dozens of minutes long is not far off.
B.It is also likely to be incorporated into film and television education and training in the future.
C.Film and television are closely linked to technological advancements, which stimulate creativity.
D.Sora will undoubtedly prompt changes in existing industrial production and may even replace some jobs.
E.Sora is undoubtedly “more of an opportunity than a challenge” for the global film and television industry.
F.Creativity and film production require the integration of emotional experiences and individual memories.
G.This implies that with just a text description, ordinary people using Sora may be able to become “great directors”.
