B(2024·福建福州第一中学三模)
I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003.I’d never
set foot in a comedy club before.I’ve always been a performer—I’ve worked as a
singer，actor and musician—but all that came to an end after a disaster in New
York.For a year afterwards，nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy.I realised people needed to
laugh，to enjoy themselves again，and thought that with a little training I could do
it.I took a few classes，tried to work out a routine，and finally plucked up the
courage to get up on stage.That first time was terrifying.I had no idea what the
audience would make of me.
In New York，comedians are typically young men with beards.It’s hard enough
to break through as a woman ，even harder as someone old enough to be their
grandmother.As I stepped on stage that first time，people laughed nervously.They
were clearly surprised to see me.I introduced myself，stated my age and tried my first
joke.There was silence.But by the time I got to the third line，people were properly
laughing.I was addicted.
Now my sets differ.I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen
people，or my one－woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.Even
today，I’m nervous before I step out.My first line is，“Hello，everybody.I’m 88
and three－quarters years old.I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way
through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax.
After a show，people young and old come up to me，saying what an inspiration
I am.They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age.I’m pleased I
can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a back seat in life.
I’ve no intention of stopping comedy.I’m taking all these pills，trying to stay
alive，and I hope to still be performing when I’m 100.My goal is to still be up there
making people laugh.It’s hard work，but it stops me being bored.I’d only be playing
golf otherwise.

(2024·湖北荆门市三模联考)
When robots and humans interact in a shared environment，it is important for
them to move in ways that prevent conflicts or accidents.To reduce the risk ，
roboticists have developed numerous techniques that monitor an environment ，
predict the future actions of humans，identify safe trajectories (轨迹) for a robot and
control its movements accordingly.
Predicting human behavior and movements ， however ， can be incredibly
challenging.Determining the future movements of a robot，on the other hand，could
be far easier.If human users could anticipate the movements of robots and the effects
these will have on the surrounding environment，they should then be able to easily
adapt their actions in order to avoid accidents.
With this in mind，researchers at Kyushu University in Japan recently created a
near－future perception system named Previewed Reality that allows human users to
forecast future changes in their environment，which could then inform their decisions
and guide their actions.This system compiles a data －set containing information
about the position of objects，humans and robots within the same environment，to
then produce simulations ( 模 拟 ) of events that could take place in the near
future.These simulations are presented to human users via Virtual Reality (VR) or
Augmented Reality (AR) headsets.
To collect information about the position of different objects ，robots，and
humans in a shared environment，the researchers used a number of strategically
placed sensors，including optical trackers that monitored the movements of objects
or robots，and a RGB－D camera which mainly tracked human actions.The data
gathered by the sensors was then fed to a motion planner and a dynamics
simulator.Combining these two system components allowed the researchers to
forecast changes in a given environment and synthesize (合成) images of events thatare likely to occur in the near future，from the viewpoint of a specific human.Human
users could then view these synthesized images simply through a VR headset or an
AR display.
“This system provides human－friendly communication between a human and a
robotic system，” the researchers explained.In their next studies，they plan to
expand and simplify the perception system，for instance by creating a lighter and
more affordable version that can be accessed on smart phones or other portable
devices.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了日本的研究人员创建了一个名
为“预览现实(Previewed Reality)”的近未来感知系统，该系统允许人类用户预测
未来环境的变化，然后为他们的决策提供信息并指导他们的行动。文章介绍了
其工作过程以及特点。
8.Why did the researchers develop the system?

答案 C [细节理解题。根据第一段中“To reduce the risk，roboticists have
developed numerous techniques...and control its movements accordingly.”可知，研
究人员开发这个系统是为了提高人机交互的安全性。]
9.What is special about Previewed Reality?
A.It simulates near－future events via VR headsets.
B.It enables human users to perceive future events.
C.It guides robots to track humans’ movements easily.
D.It helps determine the location information of objects.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段中“This system compiles a data－set
containing information...that could take place in the near future.”可知，Previewed
Reality的特别之处是它使人类用户能够感知未来的事件。]
10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

expand and simplify...can be accessed on smart phones or other portable devices.”可
知，研究人员未来可能会使系统可在便携式设备上访问。]
D
Tod Morgan was born blind，mentally challenged，and autistic.So he couldn’t
see；he could not learn like other children，and he didn’t interact with people very
much.He did not seem to have much of a chance.Then，when he
was two years old，he began to play little songs on his tiny toy piano.He could play
perfectly some of the children’s tunes he had heard.
Today，Tod works as a professional pianist.He plays jazz，Broadway songs，
and classical pieces.After hearing a tune，he can imitate it almost perfectly the first
time he plays it.Tod doesn’t only imitate；he is creative too.He can change a classical
piece to a jazz piece，a jazz piece to a polka，and a polka to a waltz.In addition to
the piano，Tod can play 13 other instruments and also can sing.Tod’s list of musical
heroes includes Louis Daniel Armstrong，Mozart，and Beethoven.How can this
be？How can such a severely challenged person be so musically talented?
Tod has what is called “savant syndrome”—a condition in which a mentally
challenged person has a highly developed talent of a specific kind.Savant syndrome is
a mystery to medical researchers.One person who is studying savant syndrome is
Dr.David Brighton.He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Tod.Mostmusical savants are limited to simply repeating tunes they hear.Dr.Brighton points out
that Tod’s ability to come up with his own tunes is a giant step beyond memorization.
As for Tod，after studying jazz piano at the Rivers School in Massachusetts，he
attended and graduated from the famous Berklee College of Music in Boston.Tod is
encouraged by his parents as he performs all over the world appearing on TV and
radio shows.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了 Tod Morgan生来双目失明，智
力有缺陷，患有自闭症，但是他极有音乐天赋，已成为专业的钢琴家。
12.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Tod was not likely to be completely cured.
B.Tod’s chances of success in life were small.
C.Tod’s ability to learn music was very limited.
D.Tod would have few opportunities to meet others.
答案 B [句意理解题。根据第一段第二句“So he couldn’t...people very much”
可知，他看不见东西，不能像其他孩子那样学习，也不怎么与人交流。再结合
下文叙述的他成了一名专业钢琴家可知，画线句说明他似乎没有成功的可能
性。]
13.A person with savant syndrome is .
A.mentally disabled but specially gifted
B.socially inactive but musically talented
C.physically disabled but highly intelligent
D.psychologically challenged but physically gifted
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Tod has what...a specific kind”可
知，患有学者综合征的人智力有缺陷，但具有高度发达的某种特殊才能。]
14.What distinguishes Tod from most musical savants?
A.His memory. B.His creativity.
C.His sociability. D.His learning speed.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Most musical savants...step
beyond memorization”可知，大多数音乐专家都局限于简单地重复他们听到的曲
调，而 Tod 能够想出自己的曲调，这是他在记忆之外迈出的一大步。据此可知，创造力使他有别于大多数音乐专家。]
15.What can be concluded from the text?
A.Tod is a typical case of a serious disease.
B.Family support is vital to Tod’s recovery.
C.Music connects Tod to the world around him.
D.Music education is a cure to the mentally disabled.
答案 C [推理判断题。通读尾部可知，Tod在马萨诸塞州里弗斯学校学习爵
士钢琴，之后在波士顿著名的伯克利音乐学院上学和毕业，其后在世界各地的
电视和广播节目上表演。再结合前文叙述的他生来双目失明，智力有缺陷，患
有自闭症，似乎没有成功的可能性可推知，音乐把Tod和他周围的世界联系起
来。]

Though there are filters which can change digital photographs to make them
similar to a painting，obvious differences still exist.
A brand－new painting AI has been made public recently.Much like the pupils of
the old masters，the new AI studies the works of great painters like Vermeer and Van
Gogh and learns to reproduce their works.
The AI，named “PaintBot”，is the creation of a team of researchers from the
University of Maryland，the Bytedance AI Lab and Adobe Research.
PaintBot can not only reproduce the works of different artists but create new
works based on photographs in the chosen painter’s characteristic style.
To train the AI to imitate a given artist’s technique ，the researchers would
present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings.With each reference painting it
studies，the AI gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given
artist’s technique，including the stroke colour，position and size—along with the
order in which each brushstroke should be made.
PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning.During the learning
process，the AI would practice reproducing reference paintings，which it would then
compare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was
improving its imitation of the artist’s style.It takes around six hours for the AI to learnto imitate a given painter.
Once the AI has mastered a particular artist’s technique，the researchers could
present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style.The AI then uses what it
has learnt to produce a new painting，putting down each brushstroke one at a time.
After being trained in a given style，PaintBot takes only around five minutes to
produce each of its digital masterpieces.
The way that PaintBot’s compositions are built up from thousands of individual
brushstrokes makes the AI’s works more realistic than those online filters.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能 PaintBot不仅可以复
制不同艺术家的作品，还可以根据所选画家的特点风格，根据照片创作出新的
作品。还介绍了其创作画作的过程和特点。
16.What do we know about filters used to change digital photos?
A.They are well received. B.They are not good enough.
C.They are really fantastic. D.They are disliked by people.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第一段可知，用来改变数码照片的滤镜不够好。]
17.How does PaintBot create works?
A.It mixes techniques of different artists.
B.It learns from the artist on the spot.
C.It just imitates the color of the given paintings.
D.It follows the given style of the paintings.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第四段以及第五段第一句可知，PaintBot遵循给
定的绘画风格创建作品。]
18.Which of the following words can the author use to describe PaintBot’s paintings?
A.Lifelike. B.Valuable.
C.Advanced. D.Original.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，PaintBot的画很生动。]
19.What is a suitable title for the passage?
A.The Most Intelligent AI Painter PaintBot
B.A Brand－new Painting Reproduced By AI
C.PaintBot Creates More Realistic PaintingsD.How PaintBot Imitates Artists’ Techniques
答案 C [标题归纳题。根据第二段并结合全文可知，文章主要说明了人工智
能 PaintBot 不仅可以复制不同艺术家的作品，还可以根据所选画家的特点风
格，根据照片创作出新的作品。还介绍了其创作画作的过程和特点。C 选项
“PaintBot创造更逼真的绘画”最符合文章标题。]

Music can have a big impact on your mental health. 1 But it can actually do
more than just change your state of mind—music has an impact on you physically，
too.Here are just a few of the transformative effects of music on your health!
It improves the cardiovascular (心血管的) health.Good music may just help your
heart to be healthier. 2 One study found that music reduced the levels of the stress
hormone cortisol in people’s systems，and reduced blood pressure.
3 If you’re looking to take your exercise performance to the next level，you
may want to consider doing it with the help of music.Studies have found listening to
music as you exercise improves endurance，productivity，power，and strength.If
you’ve ever wondered why professional athletes don’t listen to music during a race，
it’s because they aren’t allowed to—for this very reason!
It boosts your immune system.With cold and flu season on the horizon，you may
want to make sure you’ve got all your favorite songs downloaded. 4
It helps you sleep better. 5 A study showed that students who listened to
relaxing classical music for 45 minutes before turning in slept significantly better than
before.If you’re having trouble sleeping，try listening to a little soft music before
bedtime.
It’s safe to say the next time you need a little pick－me－up，turning on your
favorite tune is the smartest option—and the healthiest，too!
A.It enhances your performance.
B.It might help improve your creativity.
C.Over 30% of Americans suffer from poor sleep.D.There has been a link found between heart health and classical music.

“collection”的发音以辅音音素开头，故应为a。故填a。]

“stories”为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填
featuring。]

monster’s story”为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填
based。]
