(Text 1)
M:There never seems to be enough of me to go around.I wish there
could be another me.
W:What are you saying?
M:I read an article.It said scientists created a clone sheep.I had a
dream last night about someone cloning me.And I could do so many
things.One of me went to work.The other stayed at home to clean the
house and even cook dinner.
W:It is strange to see you cooking dinner.
M:Very funny! But back to the science topic, it is amazing to see
science advance so rapidly.
W:Now, they are studying how to copy human DNA. We may see
two of you.
M:You are right.But realistically, I like having only one of me.We
already have a problem with overpopulation.I don’t think we need to
have two of everybody.
W:I must say, it all sounds interesting.I can’t imagine what they
will think of next.
(Text 2)
M:Hello.Is that Cathy?
W:Yes, speaking.
M:There is a really good film on at the cinema this week.Would you
like to see it with me on Friday evening?
W:No.I’m afraid I can’t.I’m going to take part in a meeting at
Peking University on Friday.
M:What a pity! How long will the meeting last?
W:It depends.I’d love to see a science fiction film.
M:I know you like it.Both of us like science fiction films since
childhood.
W:I can never forget the first science fiction film we watched
together.
M:Yes, Star Wars! It was so exciting! We could not fall asleep
after the film although it lasted 2 hours until 11 o’clock. Well,
what about Saturday then?
W:That would be great.What time does it start?
M:At 7:00 p.m.Would you like to go for a drink first?
W:Yes, fine.Is six o’clock OK? We can meet outside the
cinema.
M:OK.
(Text 3)
W:Hi, John! Where have you been?
M:I’ve just been to a football game.It was really exciting.It
finished at 8:00 p.m.
W:Oh, do you always go on Saturdays?
M:Not really.The game usually starts at 6:00 p.m.When I
finished work this afternoon, it was only 5 o’clock.So I thought
I’d go and watch a game.
W:Oh, you must have had a great time.Do you still go swimming
on Fridays?
M:No, I’ve changed to the day before Friday because there
aren’t so many people then.
W:By the way, I didn’t see you at the park last Sunday
afternoon.
M:Last Sunday? Yeah.I was staying with Liz.We always try to go
for a long walk once a week, and Sunday is the only day when
we’re both free.
W:What did you do after that?
M:We went dancing in the evening and had a great time.What about
you?
W:I had a date with some of my friends.What do you do on
Tuesdays?
M:Most Tuesdays I have to work late at the office, so there isn’t
much time for anything afterwards.
W:Boy, you surely have a full week.
(Text 4)
  M:Future homes will have some really smart cooking
tools.Microwave ovens and refrigerators will probably be combined,
so that meals can be ready upon one’s arrival home.
  Future homes may also have refrigerators that can suggest menus
based upon the food you have at home.In the home of the future, the
refrigerator will probably also be able to take note of all food supplies
in the home and inform you when you’re running out, or even be
programmed to contact the local supermarket to drop off the needed
food supplies.
  Future homes will also be very energy-saving.Microsoft,
Google and others are now working on applications to help you see
and track which tools use the most electricity, helping you save
electricity and thus your daily expenses.
  There will most likely also be systems in place for saving and
reusing wash water and bath water, which will probably have to be
the main origin of future water, so that both plants and people can
still have clean water in the future, when water supplies are low.

Step 1 品教材课文
THE TIME MACHINE (Adapted)
  It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began
its career.I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I
pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then
immediately backwards again.Looking around, I saw my laboratory
exactly as before.Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked
me.Then I saw the clock.A moment before, it was a minute or so past
ten; now it was nearly half past three!
  I drew a breath, gripped the lever and pushed it forwards.The
laboratory went hazy around me.My niece came in to fetch something,
maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me.It probably took
her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever
further.[1]Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another
moment came the day.Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day,
again and again, faster and faster still.
  [1]这是一个and连接的并列句。第一个分句中含有as if引导的方
式状语从句;第二个分句中介词短语in another moment置于句首,使
用了完全倒装。
  It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time
travelling.It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road.As my
pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in
the open air.The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across
the sky, but soon there was division between night and day.Around me I
saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in
moments.I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a
dream.The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and
flowing before my eyes.I calculated that I was being pushed through time
at hundreds of years a minute.
  [2]I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being
flashed before my eyes!I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time
Machine many times.So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it
didn’t matter.But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by
something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb!
Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard.With a sudden
jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown
through the air.
  [2]这是一个主从复合句。that引导定语从句,修饰先行词
things。
I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder.I
was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine.“A fine
welcome,” I said,“for a man who has travelled thousands of years to
be here!”
Step 2 析写作手法
学语言:
1. 第一段中的It was at ten o’clock today that ...为强调句,强调时间
状语。Looking around为动词-ing短语作状语。
2. 第二段倒数第二句中的as if引导方式状语从句;第三段第四句中的
as if引导表语从句。
3. 第四段第一句中a strong urge的使用描述了作者的迫切心情。第二
句中had thought about的使用表达出作者的心理活动。
4. 第五段中A fine welcome的使用使结尾显得简练生动、恰到好处。
学结构:
1. 课文由五部分组成:
第一段:讲述“我”第一次尝试启动时间机器;
第二段:介绍时间机器的正式启动;
第三段:介绍“我”乘坐时间机器的感觉;
第四段:介绍“我”在停止时间机器前的心理活动;
第五段:介绍“我”停止了时间机器的运行,结果跨越千年,到达
未来。
2. 文章按照时间顺序详细描述了作者时间旅行的经历。在表达中使用
了then、now、but、and等过渡词,使文章表达条理清晰。
3. 语篇在选材和叙述手法上深入浅出,注重激发读者的情感共鸣。
【参考译文】
时间机器(改编版)
  上午十点,所有时间机器中的第一台启动了其运转之旅。我最后
检查了一遍机器,然后坐在皮椅上。我把主面板上的启动杆往前推了
一英寸,然后又立刻向后拉。环顾四周,我看到实验室与以前一模一
样。发生什么事了吗?我以为我的大脑欺骗了我。然后我看了下时
钟。片刻之前,大概是十点零一分,而现在已经快三点半了!
  我吸了一口气,一把抓住操纵杆,往前推了一下。实验室在我身
边变得模糊不清。我的侄女进来拿东西,也许是拿她的手帕,但她显
然没看见我。她大约花了一分钟时间,但在我看来,她的动作快如火
箭!我把操纵杆再往前推了一下。夜幕降临了,仿佛一盏灯正在熄
灭,转眼间,白昼就来临了。第二天夜晚降临,接着又跃进到白天。
如此反复,越来越快。
  时间旅行带来的陌生感和不适感是难以解释的。我感到我好像坐
在一部汽车里,飞驰在蜿蜒的道路上。我的速度越来越快,实验室的
墙壁随之坍塌,我置身野外。太阳和月亮看起来似乎正被抛向天空,
但是很快就有了昼夜之分。环顾四周,我看到树木似青烟升起,不断
生长,变得枝繁叶茂,片刻之后枯亡。我看到大楼拔地而起,继而消
逝,犹如梦中。地球的整个表面都在变化,在我的眼前熔化、流动。
我估算我一分钟要穿越数百年的时间。
  我有一种强烈的欲望,想看看眼前那些随机闪现的东西!我
已多次考虑过停下时间机器的风险。只要我以最高的速度前进,
就不会有什么问题。但是,如果我停下来,同一空间被别的东西
占据,我们就会被挤在一起,然后像炸弹一样爆炸!我就像一个
失去耐心的傻瓜,使劲向后拉了下操纵杆。突然一震,时间机器
侧翻了,我被抛向了空中。
  我一时惊呆了,然后听到雷声。我坐在雨中的一堆烂泥上,时间
机器躺在一旁。“对一个穿越了数千年才来到这里的人来说,这欢迎
真是别开生面!”我说道。
Step 3 背出彩佳句
1. Future life is waiting for us to imagine and explore.
未来生活等待着我们去想象和探索。
2. How I wish to fly into the future world with the Time Machine!
我多么想通过时间机器飞到未来的世界!
3. Have you ever thought about the life with robots in the next 50 years?
你有没有想过未来50年有机器人的生活?
4. Robots will play an important role in our future lives.
机器人将在我们未来的生活中扮演重要的角色。
5. Robots may be everything except humans in the future. 在未来,机器
人可能成为除了人类之外的一切。
6. It is hard to predict what exactly the future will be like,but to express
imaginary ideas in our minds is another thing.
很难预测未来究竟会是什么样子,但在我们的头脑中表达想象的想
法是另一回事。
7. As we move into the future, technological advancements will continue
to shape our daily lives.
随着我们走向未来,科技进步将继续塑造我们的日常生活。
8. The cities of the future will be greener, more sustainable, and more
responsive to the needs of their residents.
未来的城市将更加绿色、更加可持续,并且对他们居民的需求更加
敏感。
9. In the future, artificial intelligence will play an even larger role in our
personal and professional lives.
在未来,人工智能将在我们的个人和职业生活中发挥更大的作用。
10. The future will not only bring new challenges but also new
opportunities for growth and discovery.
未来不仅会带来新的挑战,也会带来新的成长和发现机会。

  (2024·徐州高二下期末)It was love at first sight when I picked up
Robbie from Freedom Guide Dogs in Cassville, New York.Robbie was
not mine to keep.I would be fostering him for about a year and a half and
then he would become a guide dog for a blind person.I called him my
“puppy with a purpose”.It was my responsibility to provide basic
training and socialization opportunities.
  Fostering a guide dog puppy sounded like a great thing to do, so
important and fun.So I worked hard on the project while falling more in
love with Robbie every day.In his cute red “Puppy in Training” vest,
we had access to all public places.I walked proudly into the likes of
supermarkets, museums, libraries, office buildings, restaurants,
and even Boston Logan International Airport — where at six months
Robbie lay calmly at my feet as we waited in a crowded, noisy line to
board an airplane.
  Robbie also came to work with me at the nursing home where I was
the activity director.The seniors there were comforted by Robbie’s
presence.They stroked (轻抚) his head while telling stories about their
own dogs from years past; Robbie sat patiently and listened.He was a
“cure” for the staff as well.“Can I borrow Robbie for a few
minutes?” was a frequent request from someone having a stressful day.
  These only added to my ongoing hope that Robbie would never
leave.I just couldn’t face the future of losing him.Robbie was a year and
a half when I got the e-mail “It’s time to bring Robbie back.” One of
the hardest things I have ever had to do was to devolve Robbie.But it was
small comfort that he would soon be with someone who really needed him
and make a difference in someone’s life.Months later, I got a picture of
Robbie leading Frank through the streets of Manhattan.This puppy was
now officially a working city guide dog.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者训练小狗Robbie成
为导盲犬,并对Robbie产生了深厚感情的故事。
1. Why did the author bring Robbie to various public places?(  )
A. To get him socialized.
B. To foster him with fun.
C. To familiarize him with her life.
D. To show deep affection for him.
解析:  细节理解题。根据第一段中的It was my responsibility to
provide basic training and socialization opportunities.可知,作者带
Robbie去各种各样的公共场所正是训练所需,为了让它适应社会。
2. What can we learn about Robbie?(  )
A. He was the seniors’ favourite.
B. He can help people to be relaxed.
C. He once worked at the nursing home.
D. He always keeps the author company.
解析:  推理判断题。根据第三段可知,对那些度过了充满压力
的一天的工作人员来说,Robbie的陪伴能帮助他们缓解压力。
3. What does the underlined word “devolve” in the last paragraph
probably mean?(  )
A. Turn over. B. Take in.
C. Pick up. D. Push aside.
解析:  词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知,作者对 Robbie产生
了很深的感情,不愿让它离开自己。但是在Robbie一岁半的时候,
作者收到了将Robbie送回的邮件,这对作者来说是很难的。由此可
推知,画线词的意思应是“移交”,turn over的含义与之相近。
4. Which can be the best title for the text?(  )
A. A Hard Project
B. A Higher Purpose
C. An Unexpected Connection
D. An Unforgettable Separation
解析:  标题归纳题。根据首尾段可知,作者从一开始就知道
Robbie是一只“身负使命”的小狗,虽然分别时刻到来时,作者十
分不想和Robbie分开,但是想到Robbie终将奔赴更高的目标——作
为导盲犬陪伴在真正需要它的人身边,发挥更重要的作用,作者也
感到安慰。因此B项(更高的目标)为本文最佳标题。

  (2024·山东六校高二下联考)There are a number of approaches to
mastering the art of deep work — be it focusing on a specific task,
developing a daily ritual, or taking a “journalistic” approach to seizing
moments of deep work when you can throughout the day. Whichever
approach, the key is to determine your length of focus time and stick to
it.
  One approach to getting more done in less time is to rethink how you
prioritise your day — in particular how we craft our to-do lists. Tim
Harford, a famous writer, points to a study in the early 1980s that
divided undergraduates into two groups: some were advised to set out
monthly goals and study activities; others were told to plan activities and
goals in much more detail, day by day.
  While the researchers assumed that the daily plans would be most
effective, they were wrong: the detailed daily plans discouraged
students. Harford argues that distractions (干扰) often make the daily
to-do list ineffective, while leaving room for flexibility in such a list can
achieve the best results.
  In order to make the most of our focus and energy, we also need to
accept downtime, or as Newport suggests,“be lazy.” “Being free is
as important to the brain as vitamin D is to the body,” he argues.
  Srini Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School,
believes this link between downtime and productivity may be due to the
way our brains operate. When our brains jump between being focused and
unfocused on a task, they tend to be more efficient.
  This is something used by some of the world’s highest achievers.
Warren Buffett is known for having days in his calendar where nothing is
scheduled because he finds sitting and thinking has a much higher priority
than filling every minute of his day. It is an approach that Bill Gates has
borrowed from the billionaire investor.
  The key to being productive might be found by accepting the slumps
in our day — those moments when your productivity begins to lose
gradually, usually in the midmorning, directly after lunch or
midafternoon.

5. What’s the most important to deep work?(  )
A. Being efficient.
B. Staying focused.
C. Prioritising your day.
D. Making a scientific plan.
解析:  细节理解题。根据第一段可知,深度工作的关键在于投
入和专注。
6. What can we learn from the study in the early 1980s?(  )
A. Short-term goals are more effective.
B. Long-term goals are harder to reach.
C. The detailed plans do not work so well.
D. The monthly plans are usually beyond reach.
解析:  细节理解题。根据第三段可知,该研究发现,详尽的短
期计划并不可行,相对较为灵活的长期计划往往执行效果更好。
7. What does the example of Warren Buffett suggest?(  )
A. We need time to relax ourselves.
B. We should focus on what we do.
C. We must spend some time sitting.
D. We should work harder than them.
解析:  推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,巴菲特和比尔·盖茨
都会安排一些时间什么都不做,只是静坐和思考。
8. What does the underlined word “slumps” in the last paragraph
mean?(  )
A. Periods when we feel relaxed.
B. Periods when we are very busy.

解析:  词义猜测题。根据下文可知,在我们表现不好的时期,
我们的工作效率会慢慢降低。

  Recently driverless taxis have hit the road in some cities in China,
which sparked heated discussions among netizens.
  From my point of view, I’m in favour of driverless taxis. First of
all, driverless taxis are pared with human drivers, driverless
taxis will never feel tired or make any simple mistakes. Secondly,
driverless taxis are cheaper. It is reported that they only charge half of the
price the normal taxis charge. Finally, even though some drivers will be
out of work, in the long run, humans will be liberated from boring
mechanical work to enjoy life.
  In a word, we should embrace new technology instead of refuse it.
Our life will become better and better because of advancements in science
and technology.
Ⅳ.读后续写
  阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
  July 1971, I am taking a summer class in literature on the campus of
SUNY Oneonta in upstate New York.Professor James walks into the
classroom and announces that he has invited a special guest to class, but
his guest has been delayed.
  “Who’s coming?” someone asks.
  “Alex Haley, who is the author of one of the books you have read
for this class,” he says.“I need a volunteer to meet him in the lobby of
the administration building and escort (护送) him here.”
  To my amazement, my right hand shoots up as though it has a mind
of its own.What am I doing? I think.I never volunteer for anything.
  “Thank you, David,” Professor James says.“You’d better
leave now.He’ll be arriving any minute.”
  As I walk across campus, my anxiety grows as the massive
administration building appears ahead.I fear that I am about to embarrass
myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions.I
reach the front steps and climb them slowly.
  As I pull open the heavy glass door, I realise why I instinctively
raised my hand to volunteer for this job.This man is what I want to be: a
writer.He is living my dream.I can learn from him.
  I pace back and forth across the polished lobby floor until a black man
with a briefcase enters the building.He stops and scans the lobby.His gaze
falls on me.
  “Mr Haley?” I say.
  “Yes,” he says.
  “I’m from Professor James’s class.Welcome.”
  “Thank you,” he says.He extends his hand, and we shake.
  As we begin our walk across campus, I am struck by how
approachable this man is.My fear is replaced by curiosity and purpose.
  “Do you mind if I ask you a question?” I say.“No.Not at
all,” he says.
  “I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the
talent,” I say.“How did you discover that you had a gift for
writing?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
  Mr Haley laughs and says,“I didn’t.And I don’t.”  
                     
  After my conversation with Alex Haley, I no longer care about
whether I have the “gift” to become a writer.                       
参考范文:
  Mr Haley laughs and says,“I didn’t.And I don’t.” He stops
and looks me in the eye as though he is no longer in a hurry to get to
class, and I’m the only person who matters.“Writing is a craft,” he
says.“I learned to write through practice and sheer persistence.” He
explains that when he was at high school, he wrote every day.As his
writing skills improved, he eventually became a journalist.“If you want
to become a writer,” he says,“don’t worry about whether you have
some magical gift.Put in the work.Write every day, and don’t give up
until you succeed.”
After my conversation with Alex Haley, I no longer care about
whether I have the “gift” to become a writer.Instead, I start writing
every day, just like Alex Haley in his high school.In the end, all my
hard work pays off.Within two years, I publish three stories in national
children’s magazines.I have been writing and publishing ever since.Had
I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man, I never would have
received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed.(共92张PPT)

everyone’s duty to protect the environment.

W:There are many things we can do, like using reusable products
and taking public transportation. I usually keep plastic bottles, food
cans and so on for future use.

birthday party.
M:Of course I’ll come. But what time?

drinks?

work. I have to finish a report today.

M:See you then.
(Text 10)
W:I didn’t learn English well at school. So after I started
working, I went to take an English course in a language learning
center. There were fifteen members like me in my class and we had an
English lesson from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every Tuesday and
Friday. When the teacher entered the classroom, the lesson began.
We usually started it by pronouncing different words. Then we were
usually invited to the blackboard by the teacher to write down some
words. After that we usually talked with each other in English in
groups.
During the lesson we spoke mostly English, but sometimes when the
students didn’t understand the teacher or the task in the textbook, we
spoke Chinese, our mother tongue. What I liked best of the English
lessons was the happy and friendly environment of the class. The funny
jokes were always welcomed. Thanks to my one-year-long study there, I
made much progress in English. Now I can speak English well with those
I work with.

  Mekhi Johnson sat with his mother at a restaurant. It was 7 p.m. on
28 March — time for Ivy League schools to release their admissions
decisions.
  Johnson pulled out his iPhone and quickly started checking his status
at each of the eight elite (精英的) schools that he applied to. He started
with Yale — he was in. Next, Columbia and Cornell. Those schools
accepted him, too. Then, he checked Harvard’s decision.
  “As soon as I saw I got into Harvard, my mom started
screaming,” said the 17-year-old Baltimore student. “She started
yelling,‘My son just got into Harvard,’ and everyone in the
restaurant started applauding.”
  Johnson, a senior at the Gilman School, is one of just a handful of
students in the country to be accepted into all eight Ivy League schools.
  “I didn’t have words then, and I don’t have words now,” he
said. “I just felt extraordinary.”
  When Johnson was 6 years old, he heard a story on the radio about a
student who gained acceptance into all the Ivy League institutions. His
mother, Tawana Thomas Johnson, said her son turned to her and said,
“I want to do that.”
  “Even at six, he was pretty serious,” she said. “He kept this
goal in front of him through all those years. It’s a wonderful thing and is
certainly a testament (证明) to what you can do when you set your
mind to it.”
  The chances of getting into any one of the Ivy League schools are
slim: Less than 5 percent of applicants got into Harvard this year, for
example.
  Thomas Johnson said her son is modest, and he hasn’t even posted
about his accomplishment on Facebook. But plenty of his friends are
celebrating his achievements, rushing to give him high-fives upon
hearing the news.

Scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by
training the models on larger and larger collections of information. Those
efforts are paying off. Extremely fast progress in AI tools has surprised
even their creators with what they can do.
  Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written
description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice saying anything based on
a voice recording just a few seconds long. But the AI tool that’s gotten
the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company
OpenAI.
  ChatGPT is a Large Language Model (LLM). LLMs are trained
on large amounts of writing of all kinds, and are used to generate text
(create writing). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in
perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes essays,
programs computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be extremely
intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing — based on its
training information — which word is most likely to come next.
  Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model, called
GPT-4, which can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are
difficult for humans. The rapid progress and more general skills of recent
AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts
released a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools
stronger than GPT-4.
  The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create “powerful
digital minds” that no one can “understand, predict,
or ...control”. The group behind the letter wants governments to
develop laws to make sure AI tools won’t be a threat to people.
  Not all AI experts agreed with the letter. Some say the letter makes
today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say
it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools
rather than imaginary ones in the future.
  ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are
likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has sent a
strong warning that many people — including leaders — will be thinking
about carefully.

  There’s an industry selling a product that is bad for one’s health. A
generation ago that industry was tobacco and its product was cigarettes.
Today it is the food and beverage industry and its product is sugar — sugar
that is being added to food and drink.
  Public health advocates say two approaches that worked to reduce
smoking — consumer education and taxation — are needed to combat
over-consumption of sugar.
  A ten percent tax on sugary drinks was introduced in Mexico in
January 2014 and drinks sales there fell by 12 percent in the first year. In
France, a tax on soft drinks introduced in 2012 has resulted in a gradual
decline of consumption. Norway has been active in taxing sugary foods
and drinks as well as education for many years, with good results.
  In Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia, calls for a
tax on sugar have come from a range of public health advocates. A recent
Australian study found that placing a 20 percent tax on sugar-sweetened
drinks could save more than 1,600 lives over 25 years.
  And as obesity continues to rise in Asia, several countries such as
India, Indonesia and the Philippines are also considering placing a tax on
sugary drinks.
  Not surprisingly, a sugar tax is strongly opposed by powerful groups
in the food and beverage industry, such as the AFGC.
  “Advocates for a tax cannot accept that Australia has had an actual
sugar tax for 16 years — it’s called the GST, which is applied to
processed food — and obesity has not dropped during this time. In fact,
evidence suggests that Australia’s sugar consumption declined
significantly (6% for women, 14% for men) from 1995-2011 while
obesity continued to rise,” Annison says.
  Comparing the sugar industry to tobacco is ill-informed and simply
designed to grab a headline. There is no safe level of tobacco consumption
and it has absolutely no health benefits. All foods can be incorporated
(包含) into a healthy diet, and unhealthy diets can also be constructed
only from so-called “healthy” foods.

解析:  词义猜测题。上文提到糖的危害,因此我们应该利用
教育和税收方式来“控制”人们对糖的过量摄入。
33. What’s the purpose of the examples in Paragraph 3?(  )
A. To prove the tax policy is popular.
B. To prove the tax policy is effective.
C. To show sugar is popular in Europe.
D. To show sugar is rejected in Europe.
解析:  细节理解题。第三段列举了墨西哥、法国及挪威三个
例子,它们都说明给含糖食品征税的政策有助于降低人们对糖的
消费和摄入。
34. What does Annison think of sugar tax?(  )
A. It’s necessary indeed.
B. It will produce results soon.
C. It makes a great difference.
D. It serves no practical purpose.
解析:  推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,Annison以澳大利
亚为例,说明给含糖食品征税的政策并没有降低澳大利亚人的肥
胖率。

(  )
A. interesting B. reasonable
C. unacceptable D. understandable
解析:  推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Annison认为,将糖
比作烟草纯属为了吸引眼球;烟草对健康没有任何益处,(其言

some scientific knowledge, we can become better prepared for the
uncertain future.What’s more, reading science fiction can help us to
develop our imagination.As Albert Einstein once said,“Imagination is

  阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
  During my senior year of high school, I got a part-time job working
at the local coffee shop.I had figured that the job would be easy and, for
the most part, stress free.I pictured myself pouring the best gourmet
coffees, making delicious doughnuts and becoming close friends with the
regular customers.
  What I hadn’t counted on were the people with enormous orders
who chose to use the drive-thru window, or the women who felt that the
coffee was much too creamy, or the men who wanted their iced coffees
remade again and again until they reached a certain level of
perfection.There were moments when I was angry with the human race as
a whole, simply because I couldn’t seem to please anyone.There was
always too much sugar, too little ice and not enough skim
milk.Nevertheless, I kept at it.
  One miserable rainy day, one of my regular customers came in
looking depressed and defeated.My co-worker and I asked what the
problem was and if we could help, but the customer wouldn’t reveal
any details.I guessed something terrible had happened to him and I knew
exactly how he felt.
  Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee.He
looked at me questioningly because he hadn’t ordered anything but the
coffee.He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favourite type
of doughnut.
  “It’s on me,” I told him.“Have a nice day.”
  He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back
out into the rain.
  The next day was miserable as well, rain spilling from the
sky.Everyone in town seemed to be using the drive-thru window because
no one wanted to brave the black skies or the thunder and lightning.
  I spent my afternoon hanging out the window, handing people their
orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies.I tried to smile as
the customers complained about the weather.Around seven o’clock that
evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
  But instead of ordering anything, he handed me a single pink
rose and a little note.    
                   
  After a moment, he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to
the back of the shop to read the note.                                            
 
参考范文:
  But instead of ordering anything, he handed me a single pink rose
and a little note.He said that not too many people take the time to care
about others, and he was glad there were still people like me in the
world.Actually, he lost his job yesterday and my kindness cheered him
up.With the regained confidence and strength, he made up his mind to
find another job.I was speechless and very touched; I nearly forgot
yesterday’s deed.
  After a moment, he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to the
back of the shop to read the note.It read,“Thanks for being so sweet,
kind and thoughtful yesterday.I was sincerely touched by you.It is so nice
to meet someone who’s genuinely nice, warm, and sensitive and
unselfish.Have a great day!” It was at that moment that I realised even
a small act of kindness can make a great difference to other people’s
lives.From then on, I smiled at each and every customer and did
whatever I could to bring some sunshine to their lives.(共20张PPT)

包你满意(改编版)
  拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家机器人制造公司工作。该公司最近开始试验
家用机器人。机器人将由拉里的妻子克莱尔进行试用。
  克莱尔并不想家里有个机器人,尤其是在她丈夫要出差三周的时
候,但是拉里劝她说机器人不会伤害她,也不会让她受到伤害。还会
是个意外收获。然而,第一次看到机器人时,克莱尔还是有点惊慌。
这个机器人名叫托尼,看着不太像机器,而更像一个真人。托尼高大
英俊,头发顺滑,嗓音低沉,不过他的面部表情始终不变。
  第二天早晨,托尼给克莱尔端来了早餐,还问她是否需要帮忙穿
衣打扮。克莱尔感到非常尴尬,立刻让托尼走开。现在,她正由一个
看起来这么像人类的机器人照料着,这很令人不安。
  有一天,克莱尔说她觉得自己并不聪明。托尼说她肯定是感到很
不开心才会这么说。克莱尔觉得一个机器人对她表示同情十分荒谬,
但她逐渐欣赏托尼的智慧和正直,并且开始信任他。托尼对她彬彬有
礼。克莱尔告诉托尼自己多么的不开心,因为拉里觉得家里不够雅
致;拉里想通过涨工资来提高自己的社会地位。克莱尔与格拉迪丝·克
拉芬不同,后者是当地最有钱有势的女性之一。
  作为一项恩惠,托尼答应帮助克莱尔,把她变得更漂亮些,也把
她的家变得更雅致些。于是,克莱尔从图书馆借来了一些书让托尼阅
读,应该说是让他扫视。她惊奇地看着托尼的手指翻动书页的样子,
心想这太荒唐了。他只不过是一台机器罢了。
  托尼给克莱尔做了一个新发型,还改善了她的妆容。但是,由于
托尼被禁止陪同克莱尔去商店,所以他开具了一张装修房子所需材料
的清单。克莱尔去市中心购买了这些东西。她按预约去美甲后,走进
了一家高档时装店。女店员对她很粗鲁,于是她打电话给托尼,告诉
他说自己受到了不礼貌的对待。托尼同店员交谈之后,店员立刻改变
了态度。克莱尔向托尼道谢,称托尼为“亲爱的”。当她转过身来,
却看到格拉迪丝·克拉芬正站在那里。被她发现了,这多么难堪啊,克
莱尔心想。从她脸上的表情判断,克莱尔知道格拉迪丝认为自己出轨
了。毕竟她知道克莱尔丈夫的名字是拉里,而不是托尼。虽然完全无
辜,克莱尔还是感到内疚。
  到家后,克莱尔啜泣不止。格拉迪丝是她竭力模仿的对象。托尼
对克莱尔说,她这样想有点敏感,其实她像格拉迪丝一样好。托尼还
建议在他离开,也就是拉里回家的前一天晚上,克莱尔邀请格拉迪丝
和她的朋友们到家里来。到那个时候,托尼预计这栋正在彻底改造的
房子将大功告成。
  托尼的装修工作稳步进展。克莱尔试图帮忙安装天花板上的吊
灯,但从梯子上摔了下来。尽管托尼当时在隔壁房间,但他还是及时
接住了她。托尼抱着她的时候,她感受到了他身体的热度。她尖叫了
一声,一把推开他,然后跑回了自己的房间。
  聚会之夜到了。时钟敲响了八点整,客人们很快就要到了,克莱
尔让托尼结束了当晚的工作,说当夜不再需要他了。就在那一瞬间,
托尼将她揽入怀中,慢慢地贴近她的脸庞。克莱尔听着托尼宣布说他
次日并不想离开她,而且他心里的愿望不只是让她开心而已。就在这
时,前门的门铃响了。

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2024·合肥高二下质检)Way back in the early 1940s — long
before smart phones, Siri and semi-autonomous weapons — the late great
sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov drew up a set of principles for the development
of advanced robotic systems.
  Asimov was essentially an optimist, and his famous Three Laws of
Robotics have influence in science and technology circles to this day.
  (1)A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm.(2)A robot must obey the orders
given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the
First Law. (3)A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
  Now, almost 80 years later, legal academic and artificial
intelligence expert Frank Pasquale has added four additional principles.
Professor Pasquale says while Asimov’s ideas were well founded, they
assumed a certain technological trajectory (轨迹) that no longer
holds — innovations are not always for the good of humanity.
  “Whereas Asimov is talking about how we have robots help people
and not harm them, I’m talking about how we guide the direction of
technology,” he says. And he draws an important distinction between
AI and what he terms IA — intelligence augmentation (增强).
  “The artificial intelligence goal is often to replace human beings,
to create, for example, a robot doctor or a robot teacher. The
intelligence augmentation goal is to help human beings.”
  “If we go for an artificial intelligence vision of replacement,
that’s going to create a jobless future in many areas,” he says.
“Whereas if we emphasise intelligence augmentation, that should
actually increase both productivity and the value of labour.”
  “We’ve seen so many fields where technological advances have led
to very troubling and harmful consequences like global warming. We’ve
got to get ahead of these things,” he says. “We can’t just look at
something like global warming and say, well, we’ll just get a
technological fix out of it. We have to think very deeply about directing
innovation.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。20世纪40年代,美国著名科幻小说

不够的。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。20世纪40年代,美国著名科幻小说
作家Isaac Asimov提出了著名的“机器人三定律”。时至今天,人工
智能专家Frank Pasquale认为,要约束机器人仅仅依靠这三条定律是
不够的。
1. What can we learn about Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics?
(  )
A. They ignore robots’ interests.
B. They focus on humans’ interests.
C. They predict the development of AI.
D. They have a history of nearly 70 years.
解析:  细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Isaac Asimov提出的
“机器人三定律”重点强调保护人的安全和利益,不过它们也没有
忽略机器人存在的权利。
2. Which of the following beliefs did Isaac Asimov agree with?(  )
A. IA is more important than AI.
B. Innovations do good to people.
C. Robots will replace human beings.
D. Technology can be harmful to people.
解析:  细节理解题。根据第四段可知,人工智能专家Frank
Pasquale认为,虽然Isaac Asimov的想法有充分根据,但它们假设了
某种不再成立的技术发展轨迹——(如今)创新并不总是对人类有
利。这说明Isaac Asimov认为创新是对人类有利的。
3. What is the core of intelligence augmentation?(  )
A. The development of robots.
B. Humans’ depending on robots.
C. The improvement of humans.
D. Robots’ replacing human beings.
解析:  推理判断题。根据第五至七段可知,AI强调的是人工智
能的快速发展从而取代人类,而IA强调的是:在机器的帮助下,让
人变得更强大、生产效率和劳动价值都得到提高。
4. What attitude does Frank Pasquale take to technological advances?
(  )
A. Negative and worried.
B. Doubtful and confused.
C. Optimistic and confident.
D. Reasonable and cautious.
解析:  观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,Frank Pasquale认为,
技术进步已经给人类带来一些非常令人不安和有害的后果,我们必
须走在技术进步的前面。也就是说我们要预见一些可能的不良后果
并引导科学技术朝良性发展。由此可知,Frank Pasquale并没有反
对技术进步,只是提醒我们对技术进步保持理性和谨慎的态度。

(2024·烟台高二下月考)The question of whether or not we are alone in
the galaxy is one that has interested everyone.From Superman to ET,
films have brought aliens to the Earth as friends or enemies but, as yet,
no one has proved they have ever seen an alien apart from on film or TV.
  In 1960, a radio telescope was pointed out into space to listen for
signs of aliens, trying to add scientific fact to the question:“Is
anybody out there?” But 50 years on, nobody knows the answer to it.
  “It’s probably the most important question there is,” says Dr
Frank Drake, who was a pioneer of radio astronomy.“What does it
mean to be a human being? What is our future? Are there other creatures
like us? What have they become? What can evolution produce? How
far can it go? It will all come out of learning of aliens and this will
certainly enrich our lives like nothing else could.”
  “We should be prepared for aliens,” says professor of space
science John Zarnecki, from the Open University.Stephen Hawking says
aliens almost certainly exist and senior astronomer Seth Shostak denies the
possibility that there’s nothing to search for.
  But if there are aliens, then the question is:“Why haven’t we
got any firm evidence of their existence?” This was a question asked by
the physicist Enrico Fermi as far back as 1950, saying “Where is
everybody?”
  But Dr Drake has a more simple answer to why life hasn’t been
found:“We just haven’t tried enough,” he says.“We’ve looked
carefully at only a few thousand stars and very few channels and that’s
hardly even a start.There may be around 10,000 civilisations we can
discover in the galaxy.That’s one in 10,000,000 stars.Before we
have a good chance of succeeding, we still have a long way to go.”

语篇解读: :本文是一篇说明文。地球以外是否有外星人?这是一
个大家都非常感兴趣的问题。尽管人类至今还没有发现外星人,但
是很多科学家都相信外星人的存在。
5. What are the stories of Superman and ET?(  )
A. Real events. B. Artists’ imagination.
C. Personal experiences. D. Scientists’ discoveries.
解析:  推理判断题。根据第一段可知,人们除了在电影和电视
里看到外星人以外,没有任何人能证明见到过外星人。由此判断,
电影Superman和ET中的外星人建立在艺术家的想象基础之上。
6. Dr Frank Drake asks some questions in Paragraph 3 to     .
(  )
A. prove the existence of aliens
B. doubt the existence of aliens
C. express his interest in human beings’ future
D. show the importance of understanding aliens
解析:  细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Frank Drake博士提出很
多问题,都是为最后一句话作铺垫。那就是证明这一切(问题)都
是源于对外星人的了解并且这一问题将极大地丰富人类的生活。
7. Who doesn’t believe the existence of aliens?(  )
A. Enrico Fermi. B. Dr Frank Drake.
C. John Zarnecki. D. Stephen Hawking.
解析:  细节理解题。根据第五段可知,物理学家Enrico
Fermi不相信外星人的存在。根据上文可知,其他三人都相信外
星人的存在。
8. Why haven’t we found aliens according to Dr Frank Drake?
(  )
A. They are too far away from us.
B. We haven’t made enough efforts.
C. They have never been to the Earth.
D. Our science isn’t developed enough.
解析:  细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,Frank Drake博士认
为,人类尚未发现外星人,是因为我们为之付出的努力还不够。

  (2024·浙江四校高二下联考)Personal profiles are an excellent
way to express information into a simple format.Here are some basic steps
that you’ll want to follow.
  Share positive things, but not excessive.Everyone has problems,
but no one wants to read a bunch of negative soul-searching.Don’t
complain, or endlessly describe your health problems, relationship
dramas, kid problems, etc.9.(  )
  Take pride in who you are and what you are all about.It isn’t helpful
to criticize yourself.It makes people uncomfortable and it’s annoying to
feel that you have to build up another person’s value constantly.10.
(  ) No one can get close to you.The girl who says she is fat and shy
relentlessly will turn people away.
  11. (  ) There are groups who believe that their jobs are to
convert the world to their ways of thinking.Although it may seem
urgent, the personal profile is not the venue to boast.It will not promote
your message in a healthy way.
  Don’t advertise or sell.12.(  ) The personal profile is about
you and should not be used to make money.The sites you use may put ads
on, but that is how they generate funds to keep the sites free.
  13. (  ) This is your own little message to the world.If you use
other people’s tips to make a profile, everyone can enjoy the benefits.
A. Write in outline format.
B. Don’t say it in a long sentence.
C. It’s important to seek help before writing.
D. Don’t use your profile as a place to show off.
E. Self-criticism is really a form of control over others.
F. If you need customers, use a known business network.
G. People who do this have warning signs on their profiles.

测本句应该说明获得商业客户的正确做法,故F项符合语境。

项(在写之前寻求帮助是很重要的)符合语境。

receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher.
②It is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kg by their height in

(honour) in Touching China awards.
⑤I have to go to work by taxi because my car
(repair) at the garage.
have been
honoured 
is being repaired 
二、使用被动语态应注意的几个问题
1. 否定词not的位置:在第一个助动词或情态动词之后。
He was extremely disappointed to hear that he would not be given a
doctor’s degree.
听到不会获得博士学位,他失望透顶。
2. 主动句的谓语动词带有复合宾语时,应将宾语变成被动句的主语,
而将宾语补足语保留不动,这时的宾语补足语变成了主语补足语。
We saw him sitting there without doing anything.
=He was seen sitting there without doing anything.
我们看见他坐在那儿,什么也没做。
His words made me throw up.
=I was made to throw up by his words.
他的话令我作呕。
名师点津
在主动语态中,make、 hear、 see等词后接动词不定式时要省略to,
但在被动语态中不能省略。
3. 带双宾语的动词作谓语的主动句转换为被动句时,可将表示物的直
接宾语变为主语,用for或to引出表示人的间接宾语,或将表示人的
间接宾语变为主语,直接宾语保留。
My father is telling me an interesting story now.
=An interesting story is being told to me by my father now.
=I’m being told an interesting story by my father now.
爸爸正在给我讲一个有趣的故事。
4. 短语动词在主动结构中是不可分割的,在被动结构中也是如此,不
可去掉动词后面的介词或副词。
The old man was often laughed at.
那位老人经常被嘲笑。
【即时演练2】 将下列句子改为被动语态
①We saw a stranger enter the building just now.

②My uncle gave me a present the other day.


③The bad weather made me decide to stay here for another day.


④My uncle took good care of me when I was young.

A stranger was seen to enter the building just now. 
A present was given to me the other day by my uncle. 
I was given a present the other day by my uncle. 
I was made to decide to stay here for another day by the bad
weather. 
I was taken good care of by my uncle when I was young. 
三、难点突破——主动形式表示被动意义
1. 连系动词(如look、 sound、 smell、 feel、 taste、 remain、 seem、
hear、 appear、 prove等)后接表语时,一般用主动形式表示被动
意义。
The food tastes delicious.
这种食物尝起来美味可口。
What he said at the meeting sounded encouraging.
他在会上说的话听起来令人倍受鼓舞。
2. 当 wash、 write、 sell、 open、 close、 shut、 lock、 cook等
不及物动词后加副词(easily、 well等)时,通常用主动形式表
示被动意义。
This kind of cloth washes easily and lasts long.
这种布料容易洗,并且经久耐用。
The pen my father gave me as a birthday gift writes smoothly.
父亲作为生日礼物给我的钢笔写起来很流畅。
3. need、 want、 require、 deserve等后可以用动词-ing形式的主动形
式表示被动意义。
His hair needs cutting.
→His hair needs to be cut.
他的头发需要剪了。
4. be worth doing 可转换为be worthy to be done,用主动形式表示被动
意义。
The novel is worth reading again.
→The novel is worthy to be read again.
这部小说值得再读一次。

  (2024·兰州高二下质检)Garry Kasparov, a Russian chess
grandmaster, was defeated by IBM’s Deep Blue computer in 1997.
  “The winner was not a grandmaster with an advanced PC but a pair
of common American chess players using three computers at the same
time,” he said.
  Human-machine cooperation can improve what each partner does
best: humans are great at making creative decisions based on knowledge
while computers are good at using large amounts of data to produce
information that will feed into human knowledge and decision making.We
use this combination of AI and unique human skills every day, often
without realising it.A few examples:
   Using Internet search engines to find content that will be helpful in
preparing for a school task.
   Using a translation algorithm (算法) to produce a first draft of a
document in a different language, then improving the style and grammar
of the final document.
   Driving a car to an unknown destination using a smartphone GPS
application to go through alternative routes based on real-time traffic
information.
  Netflix is a great example of this cooperation at its best.By using
machine-learning algorithms to analyse how often and how long people
watch their content, they can determine how engaging each story is to
certain audiences.This information is used by screenwriters, producers
and directors to better understand what and how to create new content.
  Likewise, architects can rely on computers to adjust the functional
aspects of their work.Software engineers can focus on the overall systems
structure while machines provide ready-to-use information.Marketers rely
on big data to determine how to better understand customer needs and
develop better products and services.
  None of these tasks could be accomplished by AI without human
guidance.On the contrary, human creativity and productivity will be
widely used by this AI support, allowing to achieve better quality
solutions at lower costs.

  (2024·青岛高二下月考)If you ask Generation Z — those born
after 1995 and in the 2000s — what the current fashion craze in China is,
“new Chinese style” will likely be the answer.After gaining great
popularity during this year’s Spring Festival in February, the perfect
combination of traditional Chinese aesthetics (美学) and modern style
continues to win young people’s hearts during spring and summer,
becoming a buzzword in the domestic consumer market.
  On social media platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu, the “new
Chinese style” remains a hot topic.E-commerce data from short video
platform Kuaishou showed that in the first quarter of this year, orders for
products of “new Chinese style” increased by 700 percent compared to
the same period last year.
  “Our orders are booked six months in advance, with a compound
annual growth rate of over 100 percent in revenue,” says Lin Qi,
inheritor of the craftsmanship for making mamianqun, horse-face
skirts, and the founder of a clothing brand.The horse-face skirt is a type
of hanfu, featuring a high, flat front and pleated (有褶的) sides that
originated in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing
Dynasties.
  In 2016, Lin started creating unique horse-face skirts, initially
selling only a dozen pieces in a year.In just a few years, the annual sales
volume of horse-face skirts her company made has to an
impressive 100,000 pieces.
  The horse-face skirt has evolved into a more diverse fashion item.To
cater to different occasions, it now comes in various lengths, from full-
length to midi-and knee-length.To meet the demands of various seasons,
the fabric has also seen improvements, transitioning from thick wool
knits to lightweight cotton, linen and silk.
soared 
  “The popularity of the horse-face skirt is closely related to the
growing interest in traditional culture.Consumers not only pay for the
clothing itself but also appreciate the aesthetic significance and cultural
value it carries.This phenomenon reflects the general public feel pretty
confident about our traditional culture,” says Yang Xiaodong, vice-
president of the China National Garment Association.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
  (2024·郑州高二下期末)Every day thousands of teens wake up
afraid to go to school.Bullying (欺凌) is a problem that affects millions
of students.
  Both guys and girls can be bullies.9.(  ) They like to control
others and generally focus on themselves.They often have poor social
skills and poor social judgment.Sometimes they have no feelings of
empathy or caring towards other people.
  Although most bullies think they have the right to push people
around, others are actually insecure.10.(  ) And some bullies act
the way they do because they’ve been hurt by bullies in the past —
maybe even a bullying figure in their own family, like a parent or other
adult.
  Some bullies actually have personality problems that don’t allow
them to understand normal social emotions like guilt, empathy,
compassion, or regret.11.
(  ) 
  All of us have to deal with a lot of difficult situations and
emotions.When some people feel stressed, angry, or frustrated,
picking on someone else can be a quick escape — it takes the attention
away from them and their problems.Some bullies learn from firsthand
experience.Perhaps name-calling, putdowns, or physical force usually
happen in their families.12.(  )
  If you find it hard to resist the temptation to bully, you might want
to talk with someone you look up to.13.(  ) If you have trouble
figuring this out (many people who bully do), you might ask someone
else to help you think of the other person’s side.
  If you would rather that people see your strength, find a way to use
your power for something positive rather than to put others down.
A. Nobody wants to be bullied.
B. Bullying is very common among students.
C. Many bullies share some common characteristics.
D. Try to think about how others feel when you hurt them.
E. These people need help from a mental health professional.
F. Whatever the reason, though, it’s no excuse for being the bully.
G. They put other people down to make themselves feel more powerful.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。校园欺凌在世界各国都非常普遍。
作者分析了其背后的原因,并告诫我们不要实施欺凌。
10. G 根据上下文可知,有些欺凌者自己本身也缺乏安全感,过去
他们可能也是受害者。其结果则是通过欺凌比自己更弱的人获得一种
自我强大的感觉。故G项符合语境。
11. E 上句指出有些欺凌者存在性格上的缺陷,这样的人自然需要
寻求专业人士的帮助。故E项符合语境。
12. F 上文指出当我们遇到一些不良情绪时往往会找他人出气或发
泄,这说明欺凌有其原因。尽管如此,作者建议我们不能以此为借口
实施欺凌。故F项符合语境。
13. D 下文建议我们考虑对方(受欺凌者)的感受,也就是进行换
位思考。故D项符合语境。

to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the
entire world. —Albert Einstein

and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not. —Isaac Asimov
科幻作家预见到了不可避免的事情,尽管问题和灾难可能是不可避

imagination, to the mysterious
time and space that I could never
truly reach. —Liu Cixin
