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。

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Winter Solstice (冬至), the 22nd solar term of the year, begins this year on Dec. 21.
On the first day of Winter Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year, as the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn (南回归线). From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year.
There was a saying in ancient China, “Winter Solstice is as significant as the Spring Festival.”
As early as the Zhou Dynasty (C.11th century－256 BC), people worshipped the gods on the first day of Winter Solstice, which also was the first day of the new year. Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (202 BC－220 AD). The celebratory activities were officially organized. On this day, both officials and common people would have a rest.
During subsequent dynasties, such as the Tang (618－907), Song (960－1279) and Qing dynasties (1644－1911), Winter Solstice was a day to offer sacrifices to Heaven and to ancestors.
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is essential to the festival. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.” People in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, are accustomed to eating wontons in midwinter. In places such as Shanghai, people eat tangyuan, a kind of stuffed small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour, to celebrate Winter Solstice. In Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, people call midwinter the “Ghost Festival”. On that day, it is customary for people there to drink mutton and vermicelli soup and eat the dumplings in the soup. They give the midwinter soup a strange name “brain” and share it with their neighbors. During Winter Solstice, Hangzhou residents traditionally eat rice cakes. In some regions south of the Yangtze River on the first day of Winter Solstice, the whole family gets together to have a meal made of red bean and glutinous rice to drive away ghosts and other evil things.
1. Which of the following is TRUE about Winter Solstice
A. The days are the shortest and the nights are the longest in the world.
B. The nights become longer after Winter Solstice in Southern Hemisphere.
C. The days become shorter after Winter Solstice in Northern Hemisphere.
D. The coldest season is approaching.
2. In ancient China, Winter Solstice ______.
A. originated from the Zhou Dynasty
B. was also the first day of the Spring Festival
C. was a day to worship the gods and ancestors
D. was a holiday for people to have a rest in the Song Dynasty
3. These are the traditional foods to celebrate Winter Solstice except ______.
A. wontons and tangyuan
B. mutton and vermicelli soup
C. peanuts and hazelnuts
D. rice cakes
4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Winter Solstice in North China.
B. The beginning of Winter Solstice.
C. Different customs of Winter Solstice.
D. Reasons for eating dumplings in Winter Solstice.
答案及解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统节气——冬至，介绍了其由来以及习俗等。
1. B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“On the first day of Winter Solstice…become longer and the nights become shorter. (在冬至的第一天，北半球经历了一年中最短的白天和最长的夜晚，因为太阳直射南回归线。从那时起，白天变长，夜晚变短。)”可知，南半球在冬至后夜晚变长白天变短。故选B。
2. C　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“During subsequent dynasties, such as the Tang (618－907), Song (960－1279) and Qing dynasties (1644－1911), Winter Solstice was a day to offer sacrifices to Heaven and to ancestors.[在后来的朝代，如唐朝(618－907)、宋朝(960－1279)和清朝(1644－1911)，冬至是祭天和祭祖的日子。]”可知，在古时候，人们会在冬至这一天祭天和祭祖。故选C。
3. C　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“People in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, are accustomed to eating…to drive away ghosts and other evil things.(江苏苏州人习惯在仲冬吃馄饨。在上海等地，人们会吃汤圆来庆祝冬至，汤圆是一种用糯米粉做成的馅团。在宁夏回族自治区银川，人们把仲冬称为‘鬼节’。在那一天，那里的人们习惯喝羊肉粉丝汤，吃汤里的饺子。他们给冬至汤起了一个奇怪的名字‘头脑’，并与邻居分享。冬至期间，杭州居民有吃年糕的传统。在长江以南的一些地区，在冬至的第一天，全家人聚在一起吃红豆糯米饭，以驱除鬼魂和其他邪恶的东西。)”可知，选项C“peanuts and hazelnuts(花生和榛子)”不是冬至的传统食物。故选C。
4. C　段落大意题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，最后一段主要讲述了在冬至这一天全国各地的不同的风俗。故选C。

答案及解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中西方节日之间的差异和共同点。
1. Compared　考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的节日通常以家庭团聚和尊敬祖先为中心，与之相比，西方的节日往往强调庆祝，反映了一种更具个人主义的文化。句中谓语是tend，空格处用非谓语动词，western festivals和compare之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Compared。
2. reflecting　考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中谓语是tend，空格处用非谓语动词，western festivals和reflect之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动。故填reflecting。
3. lies　考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它的核心是耶稣基督诞生的故事，象征着爱、希望和重生。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，句子是倒装句，其主语the story of Jesus Christ's birth是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数。故填lies。
4. when　考查定语从句。句意：这是数百万人回家与家人团聚的时候，他们会从事一些传统活动，比如打扫房屋、做特别的菜肴和燃放烟花。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺状语，先行词time是时间，因此空格处用关系副词when引导定语从句，在从句中作时间状语。故填when。
5. is rooted　考查固定短语。句意：这个节日对家庭关系和连续性的强调植根于儒家价值观，并反映了中国社会的集体主义本质。be rooted in…是固定短语，意为“植根于……”，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语The festival's emphasis on family ties and continuity是抽象名词，为单数意义，be动词用is。故填is rooted。
6. of　考查介词。句意：然而，尽管存在这些明显的差异，两种文化都有一些共同点：他们的节日都是为了庆祝生活和追求幸福。in celebration of…是固定短语，意为“为了庆祝……”，因此空格处用介词of。故填of。
7. Similarly　考查副词。句意：同样，像中秋节这样的中国节日促进了家庭团聚和对自然美景的欣赏。空格处用副词作状语，修饰整个句子，similar的副词是similarly，意为“同样”，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Similarly。
8. appreciation　考查名词。句意同上。空格处用名词作宾语，appreciate的名词是appreciation，意为“欣赏”，且是不可数名词。故填appreciation。
9. while/although/though　考查让步状语从句。句意：总之，尽管中国和西方的节日在许多方面不同，但它们都是文化、价值观和人类精神的有力表达。根据语境可知，空格处意为“尽管”，用while/although/though引导让步状语从句。故填while/although/though。
10. harmonious　考查形容词。句意：通过这些庆祝活动，我们可以更深入地了解彼此的传统，形成相互尊重，从而建立和谐的关系和真正的全球社区。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词relationships，harmony的形容词是harmonious，意为“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
