s,providingaccesstoareasofthebrainthatwerepreviouslyinaccessible.(布罗加德说，一种理论是，被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥，这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的

。This会导致神经元的重新连接，从而进入以前无法进入的大脑区域。)”可知，This是指代上文提到的aone-timefloodingofthebrainwithneurotransmitters(神经递质)，即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故选A。【3

1题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Somewhereinthesky,lightningisforming.Althoughthepossibilityofgettingstruckinyourlifetimeisroughly1in12,000,ahumando

变成天才。它的大部分结果都是痛苦的，可能会伴随你一生。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。故选B。【答案】32.A33.B34.D35.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。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。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Anearlytext-to-videoAItoolcalledModelScope,whileimpres

年后，文本到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，文本到视频的人工智能得到了显著改善。故选A。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Toolsbasedonadiff

usionsystem,likeOpenAI’sSora,aretrainedtorecognizeobjectssotheycanrefineimagesbyfilteringouttheincorrectvisualpat

ches.(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补丁来优化图像)”可知，OpenAI的Sora通过识别对象并过滤掉不合适的视觉补丁来改善图像。

故选B。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Meanwhile,youcanstillexperimentwithsimpletext-to-videotoolslikeinvideoAI,aprodu

ctthatwascreatedwithmarketing,contentcreationandeducationinmind.It’sperfectforcreatingonlinetutorials,“expla

iner”videosorprovidingvisualsforashortstory.(与此同时，你仍然可以尝试简单的文本转视频工具，比如invideoAI，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”视频或为短篇小说提供视觉效果)”可知，invideoAI是一款简单易用的文本到视频工具，适用于营销、内容创作和教育，非常适合创建在线教程、“解释”视频或短故事的视觉效果，这表明invideoAI是有用处、有好处的，能带来利益的。故选D。【35题详解】主旨大意题

。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Anearlytext-to-videoAItoolcalledModelScope,whileimpressive,wasdeeplylimitedinitsabilitytoaccuratelyrepresentthetextprompt—someuserse

vendescribedthevideothatitcreatedas“nightmarish”.Whileayearlater,text-to-videoAIwouldblurthelinebetweenthedigitalandthereal.(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的能力上受到了极大的限制——一些用户甚至将它创建的视频描述为“噩梦”。而一年后，文本到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C。【答案】36．C37．D38．A39．B40．E【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了使用通俗易懂的语言写作时需要遵循一些通用的指导原则。【36题详解】根据下文“Theonlydetailsthey

includearethosenecessaryforthereadertounderstandthesentences’meaning.Forexample,thesign“Waitbehindtheyellowline,”atatrainp

latformincludes“yellow”sotravelersknowwheretostand.（它们只包括那些读者理解句子意义所必需的细节。例如，火车站台上，“请在黄线后面等候”这句话包含了“黄色”，这样旅客就知道应该站在哪里。）”可知，写作时只包括那些读者

理解句子意义所必需的细节。火车站台的例子表明内容要简短。结合选项C项Onekeyaspectofplainwritingisensuringsentencesareasshortaspossible.（简洁写作的一个关键方面是确保句子尽可

能短。），和下文内容意思一致，紧密连接，符合语境。故选C项。【37题详解】根据上文“IfyouworkinIT,youcancomfortablyusetheword“latency”withyourcolleagues.（如果您从事IT工作，那么您可以轻松地与同事使用“la

tency”这个词。）”提到您可以轻松地与同事使用“latency”这个词，以及下文“ButwhenspeakingwithsomeonewithoutanITbackground,youmightinsteadu

se“slow”toensurethattheyknowwhatyou’retalkingabout.（但是当你和一个没有IT背景的人说话时，你可以用“slow”来确保他们知道你在说什么。）”可推测，空处谈论的是和同事们说话用词的问题，不同背景应该使用不同的词汇。结

合选项D项Thatisbecausetheyknowwhatitmeans.（那是因为他们知道这意味着什么。）可知，D项中的they指代的时候上文中的colleagues，这也与下文中的they指导内容一致，起到上下文的承上启下作用。

故选D项。【38题详解】根据上文“Plainlanguageismorethanwordchoices,though.Italsoinvolvesstructuringwritingtoprioritizeclarity.（然

而，简单的语言不仅仅是词语的选择。它还包括组织写作，优先考虑清晰。）”提到简单的语言不仅仅是词语的选择，还包括其它东西，以及下文“Forexample,useclearheadersforeachsectio

n.Mentionthetopicearlyinasentenceorparagraph.Writedirectlytoyourread.（例如，每个部分使用清晰的标题。在句子或段落的开头尽早提及主题。直接写给读者。）”可知，上文强调组织写作，优先考虑清晰，下文给出了具体的做法。结合

选项A项Thiscanbeachievedinthefollowingways.（这可以通过以下方式实现。）可知，This指代的是“Italsoinvolvesstructuringwritingtoprioritizeclari

ty.”，“inthefollowingways”呼应的是下文“Forexample,useclearheadersforeachsection.Mentionthetopicearlyinasentenceorparagraph.Writedirectlytoyourr

ead.”，起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选A项。【39题详解】根据上文“Writedirectlytoyourreader.（直接写给读者。）”，再结合B项“Inmanycases,thismeanswritingin

thesecondpersonpointofview.（在很多情况下，这意味着要运用第二人称来写作）”可知，this指代的是“直接写给读者”这一方法，运用第二人称来写作呼应“直接写给读者”这一语意，故选B项。【40题详解】根据上文“Byusingplainlanguage,

youdemonstraterespectforyourreaders’timeandintelligence.（通过使用通俗易懂的语言，你表现出对读者时间和智慧的尊重。）”提到通过使用通俗易懂的语言的好处。结合选项E项“Thus,itdevelopspositiverelation

shipswiththem.（因此，它与他们发展了积极的关系。）”中them，指代的是上文的readers，且和上文内容意思相关，同样介绍其好处，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选E项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)【答案】41-45ACBA

展开(结合续写第二段第一句Thenextday,IhandedmypagesofapologytoKash.)。互动展开，需要解答我的道歉方式是什么这个问题，需要和pages和graphicnovel有所联系；第二段需要围绕着我和Kash之间的互动展开，包括我如何让他原

谅我以及他的回应，需要解答他是否原谅我这个问题。这里会有同学偏题，把过多重点放在了比赛过程中，对于他两的互动一笔带过，最后又是比赛结果结束。但其实这一篇续写的比赛仅仅提供了背景，他们三个无论是否拿奖都不重要，因为对于他们

来说，重要的是友情，故事主要矛盾不在于比赛结果，而在于Kash是否原谅我，以及我们的感悟。文中感悟：沟通和真诚是最大的必杀技。二、动作分析文章有大量的动作描写，包括老师宣布比赛，我和Liya如何组队，如何互动，

以及Kash知道之后是什么反应。因此续写段落也需要有相应的动作描写。这里需要注意的是文章中出现了较多短语例如:meetstheirgoal、feltbadabout、leaveout、werestuckin、Havingfirstteamedup、walkedby....等等，因此续写要语言协

同的话也需一定的短语。根据续写文本结尾So,IdecidedtodosomethingtomakeitupforhimandconvinceKashhewasanequalfriend.以及续写第一段Thatnight,Iwasstru

ckbyanideaasIreadagraphicnovelthatallthreeofusliked.和续写第二段段首Thenextday,IhandedmypagesofapologytoKash.可得知，pa

ges是我道歉的关键，因此续写第一段应有pages的相应制作动作，pages到底是什么?根据续写第二段Thenextday,IhandedmypagesofapologytoKash.可得知，第二段应有我和

Kash道歉的互动，以及根据前文的伏笔Whatsurprisedmewasthatshehadintendedtodrawnamestoassignrandomgroups,butdidn’tgetachancetosayitbeforelunch.应有老师宣布分组的动作。最后结果肯定是kash原

谅了我们，然后三人和好,开开心心的场景结束，可以有拥抱，互相对望等动作。三、心理活动分析文章心理描写主要集中在Kash生气后，我的反应，围绕着我该怎么解除误会，让他知道他在我们心里也很重要展开。根据续写第一句Thatnight

,IwasstruckbyanideaasIreadagraphicnovelthatallthreeofusliked.，续写第一段应有我想到方法开心，但是又纠结于不知道他的反映，他是否会原谅我的复杂情绪描写。根据续写第二句，Thenextday,

IhandedmypagesofapologytoKash.可得知，第二段应又Kash收到道歉pages的心理描写，根据负转正原则，可以是从诧异，疑惑，到开心，最后选择原谅我。以及我在被原谅后的心理描写。可以通心理描写引

出文章中心思想:这场比赛不只是比赛，更是对我们友情的一场考验和一门课。我们在这堂课中学到了沟通和交流的重要性。范文：Thatnight,IwasstruckbyanideaasIreadagraphicnovelth
