Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·湖南长沙)
An early text to video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text prompt—some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text to video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.
If you've ever used a text to image generative AI tool like DALL E, you'll see that text to video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tool creates a video based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI's Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its flaws.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI's Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence (遵守) to the user's prompt.”
But there are constraints to Sora's capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn't always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won't last long.
Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text to video tools like InVideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online tutorials, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.
1. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. ModelScope was widely praised.
B. ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.
C. Text to video AI received negative feedback eventually.
D. Text to video AI has improved significantly over the past year.
2. How can OpenAI's Sora improve images
A. By recognizing the objects around.
B. By creating content in various styles.
C. By removing inappropriate visual patches.
D. By working in the same way as ModelScope.
3. What message does the last paragraph convey about InVideo AI
A. It may fall out of use. B. It will be highly profitable.
C. It may increase daily expenses. D. It will take ages to see the future result.
4. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A great leap for creative AI. B. The functions of various AI tools.
C. The limitations of OpenAI's Sora. D. A demonstration of making a video.
答案及解析:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了文本到视频AI技术的发展历程,从早期的ModelScope到现在的OpenAI的Sora,解释了这些工具的工作原理、优缺点以及未来的潜力。
1. D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“An early text to video AI tool called ModelScope…would blur the line between the digital and the real. (早期的一款名为ModelScope的文本转视频人工智能工具虽然令人印象深刻,但在准确呈现文本提示方面存在严重的局限性——一些用户甚至将它创建的视频描述为‘噩梦’。而一年后,文本转视频的人工智能将模糊数字和现实之间的界限。)”可知,在过去的一年里,文本转视频的人工智能得到了显著改善。故选D。
2. C 细节理解题。 根据文章第三段中的“Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI's Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. (基于扩散系统的工具,如OpenAI的Sora,经过训练可以识别物体,这样它们就可以通过过滤掉不正确的视觉片段来优化图像。)”可知,OpenAI的Sora通过识别对象并过滤掉不合适的视觉片段来改善图像。故选C。
3. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text to video tools like InVideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online tutorials, ‘explainer’ videos or providing visuals for a short story. (与此同时,你仍然可以尝试使用简单的文本转视频工具,比如InVideo AI,这是一款考虑到营销、内容创作和教育的产品。它非常适合创建在线教程、‘解释器’视频或为短篇故事提供视觉效果。)”可知,InVideo AI将来的利润很高。故选B。
4. A 文章大意题。 通读全文,尤其是根据文章第一段“An early text to video AI tool called ModelScope…would blur the line between the digital and the real. (早期的一款名为ModelScope的文本转视频人工智能工具虽然令人印象深刻,但在准确呈现文本提示方面存在严重的局限性——一些用户甚至将它创建的视频描述为‘噩梦’。而一年后,文本转视频的人工智能将模糊数字和现实之间的界限。)”可知,文章主要讨论了创造性人工智能的巨大飞跃。故选A。
“主旨大意题之文章大意题”答题技能 第一步 扫描题干,找关键词:关键词what、text、mainly about
第二步 使用浏览法,定位主题句:
段落中出现表示转折的词语(如however、but、in fact、actually等)时,该句很可能是主题句;
首段出现疑问句时,对该问句的回答很可能就是文章主旨;
作者有意识地重复的观点,通常是主旨;
反复出现的词语,一般为体现文章主旨的关键词;
表示总结或结论的句子常包含therefore、thus、in short、conclude、conclusion等词,通常是主旨。
名师点睛:此题型不仅考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力,也对考生的归纳、概括能力提出了较高的要求。文章中没有明显的解题依据,需要考生从文章中提炼、抽取一些关键词、主干句进行加工概括,才能归纳出文章的主旨。 Ⅱ.应用文赏析
