原创试题(一)

D

Technology bosses who fail to protect children online face up to two years in prison after 40 Tory MPs backed plans for a new law.

With great support for an amendment(修正案)to the Online Safety Bill from a few figures of authority,which would enable senior managers to be put to prison if they willfully or neglectfully fail to carry out their duties to children, the MPs are forcing Downing Street to take the amendment seriously.Similar laws were passed in Ireland last month.

At present, the bill has criminal sanctions(制裁)for managers—but only if they fail to cooperate with Ofcom, the regulator—and fines of up to 10 percent of a company’s global income for failures to protect children online.MPs and campaigners believe these are not a serious enough deterrent to protect children online or to prevent a repeat of the Molly Russell tragedy.Under the bill, a company should ensure children do not encounter pornography(色情描写)or content promoting self-harm, eating disorders and suicide.The companies must use technology to identify the age of people using the platform.The measure is due to be voted on at report stage on Jan.17th 2023, after which the process of making and passing laws will move on to the Lords.

However, Monica Horten, the policy manager at Open Rights Group, which defends human rights online, warned:“Does this turn Britain into an authoritarian state? One that would put people in prison, not for what they’ve written, but...for what other people are writing and other people’s misuse of the system.I think that for parliament(议会)to be just nodding this through with no debate would be morally wrong and deserving criticism.”

No 10 said,“Our aim is to hold to account social media platforms for harmful content, while also ensuring the UK remains a great place to invest and grow a tech business.We are confident we can achieve both of these things.”

1.Which of the following is true about the new law?

A.The amendment to the Online Safety Bill has gained support from all people.

B.Similar laws were passed in Ireland last month,so they will be in Britain.

C.Up to 10 percent of a company’s global income will be fined for failures soon.

D.Senior managers could face a more serious sanction once the law comes into effect.

2.Which word could take the place of the underlined word“deterrent”in Para.3?

A.Bill.B.Crackdown.

C.Fine.D.Failure.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Molly Russell was a sufferer exposed to unsafe online environment.

B.This new law would turn Britain into an authoritarian state.

C.Parliament will encounter severe criticism for nodding the new law through.

D.No 10 totally approves of the amendment and will struggle for it.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Prison threat for online harm to children.

B.An amendment to the Online Safety Bill.

C.The UK aiming to further deter technology bosses.

D.Opinions on a new law protecting children online.

【解析】

语篇类型:新闻报道

主题语境:人与社会

行文脉络:

第一段:新闻的导语,说明本则新闻的最主要信息为:在四十名保守党国会议员提出的新法案生效后,科技行业的老板们将面临最长两年的收监,如果没有在线上履行好保护孩子们的义务。

第二段:新闻的背景。这个新法案得到了一些有影响力的人的支持,政府也被迫对此认真考虑。

第三段:新闻的主体。说明了提出新法案的原因,描述了新法案对科技行业公司的新要求以及该法案的推进进程。

第四段:外界对该法案的观点。

第五段:政府对该法案的回应。

核心素养:

引导关注社会生活各方面的发展,思考和解决现实中存在的问题,树立理想信念,形成正确的价值观。

1.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“At present, the bill has criminal sanctions( 制 裁)for managers—but only if they fail to cooperate with Ofcom,the regulator—and fines of up to 10 percent of a company’s global income for failures to protect children online.MPs and campaigners believe these are not a serious enough deterrent to protect children online or to prevent a repeat of the Molly Russell tragedy.”可知,现阶段公司管理人员只有在不配合监管机构的情况下才会面临罚款,而新法案的发起人认为这个震慑手段不够有力。再结合第二段“...would enable senior managers to be put to prison...”可知,在新法案生效后,公司管理人员将面临更严肃的制裁。

2.B 词义猜测题。根据语境“MPs and campaigners believe these are not a serious enough deterrent to protect children online or to prevent a repeat of the Molly Russell tragedy.”中的指示代词“these”可知deterrent 是对上文中的某些事物的近义表达。结合上文“At present, the bill has criminal sanctions(制裁)for managers—but only if they fail to cooperate with Ofcom, the regulator—and fines of up to 10 percent of a company’s global income for failures to protect children online.”可知,deterrent 指的是现阶段法案对管理者的制裁,因此选择B 项。

3.A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“MPs and campaigners believe these are not a serious enough deterrent to protect children online or to prevent a repeat of the Molly Russell tragedy.”并结合下文“Under the bill, a company should ensure children do not encounter pornography(色情描写)or content promoting self-harm, eating disorders and suicide.”可知,Molly Russell 在网上没有受到很好的保护,并酿成了悲剧。

4.A 主旨大意题。根据第一段新闻的导语可知,本文主要讲的是新法案的通过将使科技行业的老板们面临最长两年的收监,如果没有在线上履行好保护孩子们的义务。

原创试题(二)

B

The sci-fi blockbusterThe Wandering Earth Ⅱhas not only raked in a huge box office, but also aroused much attention on science and technologies that appeared in the movie, including space elevators,quantum computers, and nuclear fusions.

The key to realizing space elevators is to find a super-strong material that can be used as the elevator cable.The material needs to maintain good performance when exposed to harsh conditions in space, said Guan Qingfang, an associate research fellow at the University of Science and Technology of China, when asked about the possibility of this technology.It might be long before space elevators could actually become reality.Still, the discussion of this technology itself reflects the ambition of, and charts the course for, mankind in the research and development of material science, according to Guan.

To escape the harm of a rapidly burning sun,humans in the movie try to build about 10 000 massive engines powered by nuclear fusions to push on the earth to a place far from damaging solar flares.Great achievements have been made in the field of fusion energy after over 70 years of efforts by mankind.“It is still too early to talk about the prospect of propelling the earth by fusion energy, but it is highly possible to power a light with this energy in the near future,”said Wang.

A number of scientists and researchers joined online discussions to analyze and explain the possibilities of relevant technologies in the movie,including moon rovers, space elevators, Internet root servers, quantum computers, and underground city life.Wang Yuanzhuo, a research fellow at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, even drew pictures to explain the science and technology theories shown in the movie to the young audience in simple language.

A crowdfunding project was launched by a Chinese culture and media company on the e-commerce platform Taobao, aiming to produce peripheral (附带的)products like robotic dog models and USB flash disks after the movie was aired.More than 433 000 orders have been placed by Monday noon, raising over 100 millionyuan, much more than the original goal of 100 000yuan.

1.Which new technology is not mentioned in the article?

A.Quantum computers.

B.Nuclear fusions.

C.Underground city.

D.Lunar power station.

2.What can we know about space elevators?

A.It will be put into use soon.

B.It needs a lot of money to invest.

C.It needs special materials to make.

D.It has solved the technical problems.

3.What is Wang’s attitude toward the prospect of propelling the earth by fusion energy?

A.Supportive.B.Negative.

C.Cautious.D.Ambiguous.

4.What does the author want to convey according to Paragraph 5 ?

A.The Wandering Earth Ⅱstimulates the development of electronic products.

B.The Wandering Earth Ⅱhas created a new industry.

C.The Wandering Earth Ⅱhas a large number of fans in China.

D.The Wandering Earth Ⅱmakes the price of electronic products higher.

原创试题(三)

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。

Every early morning Gleen would run to school to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived.Their little schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned coal stove in winter.

One chilly morning, the teacher and students arrived only to find the schoolhouse in flames.Gleen was dragged out of the flaming building, unconscious.His lower half of his body was badly burned and was immediately sent to a nearby hospital.From his bed,Gleen faintly heard the doctor talking to his parents.“He could hardly survive,”the doctor said in a low voice, “for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body.”

“I don’t want to die, mum,”Gleen told his mother.He was determined to survive.To the amazement of the doctor, he did survive.When the serious danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his parents speaking quietly.“He was bound to be disabled for life,”the doctor whispered,“since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the lower part of his body.He can’t walk like a normal person.”

“I will walk, dad,”Gleen told his father.Once more, the brave boy made up his mind.He would not be disabled.But unfortunately he has no feeling from the waist down.His thin legs just hung there, lifeless.Ultimately, he was discharged from the hospital.

Back home, Gleen’s mother would squeeze and rub his little legs every day, hoping to help them recover, but it made little difference.He was either in bed or attached to a wheelchair.Yet his determination that he would walk never faded.Instead, he kept thinking about how to make himself stand and walk again.

On a lovely summer’s day, as usual Gleen was wheeled out into the yard for some fresh air, where his father had just built a fence by driving the stakes (木桩) into the grass.Sitting in the wheelchair, Gleen was staring at the fence around the yard.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150 左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence._____________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence.________________________________________________________________

【解析】

主题语境——人与自我——做人与做事

【故事梗概】本文以人物为线索展开,前文讲述了男孩Gleen的故事。他因在大火中身受重伤,一度被医生断定无法存活。他凭借着自己坚定的意志力存活了下来,但失去了行走的能力。尽管如此,他依然坚信自己能再度站起来并一直在想办法。在续写部分中,Gleen最后通过利用栅栏站立、行走、训练,最终重获行走能力。该语言材料主题紧扣人与自我主题语境之下的子主题:做人与做事,旨在引导学生在面临人生困境时,能勇敢面对、积极改变,践行“有志者事竟成”的坚强品质。

【续写线索】想到利用栅栏——想办法到达栅栏旁——扶着栅栏站起来并开始移动身体——每天的练习——积极的影响——升华主题

【情节合理性】

①第一段:续写首段的第一句要承接所给的首句。根据第一段首句内容“他突然想到他可以充分利用栅栏”可知,第一段可描写Gleen 如何利用栅栏站起来,然后开始尝试行走。

②第二段:续写的第一句要自然过渡到第二段首句。由第二段首句内容“在那之后,Gleen 开始每天都这样做,直到他在院子里的栅栏边磨出一条光滑的小路”可知,第二段可描写Gleen 每天做的事情以及他的坚强努力产生的积极影响:他最终重新获得了行走的能力。

③续写的最后一句是否升华主题,呼应主题。

参考答案:

Paragraph 1:It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence.He had his mother wheeled him to the fence, beside which he threw himself onto the grass from the chair.Then, using all his strength,he struggled to raise himself up by holding on to the fence.Then, stake by stake, he began moving himself forward along the fence, dragging his legs behind.“Mom, Dad, I will make it.”Gleen smiled at his parents, his eyes full of determination.

Paragraph 2:After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence.He kept practicing standing up and walking with the help of the fence while his mother kept squeezing and rubbing his legs every day.As time went by, with his mother’s daily massages and his persistence, he did regain the ability to first stand up by himself, then to walk unsteadily,then to walk by himself, and then to run.Gleen, the boy who was never expected to survive, walk or run, proved that nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

原创试题(四)

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。

A gust of cold wind blasted through the cracks in the half-open door, making me involuntarily shudder.But it bothered me none as I stormed out in a rage,slamming the door shut behind me.

My wife and I got into a bitter quarrel over an issue as small as a sesame seed.I had to leave her alone and try to find an escape in this white world of dancing snowflakes.With the heavy snow coming down, the broad street was almost empty except for a few pedestrians.I wandered aimlessly down the deserted street.My wife and I had been married for years.Though an earthquake had softened our hearts,our tempers were obviously getting worse.As the night darkened, the snow came heavier and faster, the streetlights gave a dim, helpless ray.

It was then and there that I saw a man-powered tricycle.Because the tricycle rider was a man wearing thick clothes covered in thick snow, it was hard for me to see his his face clearly, but the woman sitting behind him was very visible.Under the street lights,her red coat was a sharp contrast against the white snow.Maybe because the road was too slippery or the tricycle was too heavy, the man, bending forward,weighed his body almost entirely over the handlebar as the wheels moved slowly under his pedaling feet.

Suddenly, I saw a hand show up next to each of the man’s ears, and the hands wrapped up the ears tight.Obviously, the hands belonged to the woman.As the slope became steeper, the tricycle slowed down drastically.The man’s back bent more.The woman pressed herself forward, leaving her back to the mercy of the chilly winds, while her hands firmly wrapped up the man’s ears, making a great view in the snowscape.I felt my soul touched by something indescribable and I followed the couple subconsciously.

The man finally pulled up near a group of cabins built after the earthquake as shelters for victims.The man parked his tricycle securely and helped the woman get off.

Paragraph 2:

Tears welling up, I held up my head simply to let the snowflakes wet my face.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】

一、命题意图:

本篇读后续写主要考查学生的创新思维、逻辑思维与协同思维能力。主题语境为人与社会。选材贴近生活,属于典型的故事类文章。

文本大意:作者在一个暴风雪的夜晚因生活琐事与妻子发生激烈争执,愤而离家,在大街上独自徘徊时见证了一对骑三轮车的夫妇,虽然生活艰辛、身体残疾却相互关心,相互支撑的感人场面。

续写分析:段首句的设置既确定了故事发展的基本走向,又给学生预留了相当大的想象空间与发挥余地。

二、解题思路:

(一)文本理解

1.提取故事六要素(5W1H)

When:on a snowy night

Where:at home; on a deserted street

Who:the author, his wife; a couple riding a tricycle

What:quarreled with his wife; spot a couple,the woman wrapping up ears of her husband with her hands;found the woman physically disabled

Why:annoyed by a quarrel with his wife

How:annoyed/angry; lonely, helpless; shocked and moved , ...

2.厘清双线(plot & emotion)

(二)预测构思

1.依据首句,预测情节

前文作者用大量笔墨描写了妻子对丈夫的关爱,在严寒中用双手护住丈夫的耳朵为其御寒,暗示了两人感情的深厚。第一个段首句The next instant, I was shocked to spot the woman had just one leg.所给信息令读者吃惊之余,也会如作者一般感动。接下去情节如何发展,不妨做以下设问:

What trouble did the woman encounter when getting off the tricycle? What did the man do to help?What would they do next? 根据逻辑推理,学生应该可以预测到妻子下车会有困难,丈夫搀扶妻子下车;前文最后一段提到了为地震受害者建筑的临时住所cabins,他们在那里停下来,所以可以预测那里应该是他们的住处。他们应该是要回家。

(2)根据第二段首句Tears welling up, I held up my head simply to let the snowflakes wet my face.可以设问如下:How did the author feel at the moment? What did he think of/ What lesson did he get from this incident? What would he do next?由此,故事情节大致走向为:作者被这对患难夫妻的相互关爱深深触动,从而反思自己与妻子的相处从而决定回家与妻子和解。至于本段学生是着重写作者的心理活动,还是回家后和解的过程都是合乎逻辑的。本段给学生确定了一个情节发展的方向,同时又预留了足够的想象空间。只要是合乎逻辑的情节猜测均可。

2.重视情感线的发展,进行正向预测

命题除了检测学生学习成果外还有价值观引导的作用。所以读后续写的结局预测应该是积极的,正向的。这点,所给的文本及段首句也给出了充分的提示。

(三)契合原文写作风格

整篇文章情景交融,环境描写有效烘托了人物心情,并揭示出作者的情感变化,辅助推进情节发展。所以在续写过程中学生需注意这一点,尝试进行一定的环境及心理描写,使习作风格尽量与原文保持一致。

【参考答案】

Paragraph 1:The next instant, I was shocked to spot the woman had just one leg.Her other leg is missing from the knee down.Maybe due to the slippery conditions of the road, the woman wobbled and was about to fall, when the man quickly extended her his right hand, which she held steadily in both hands right away.My heart literally dropped the moment I saw an empty sleeve fluttering on his left.The man had only one arm! The man held the woman by clenching one of her hands and slowly they moved towards the cabin.

Paragraph 2:Tears welling up, I held up my head simply to let the snowflakes wet my face.Up in the sky,the snow came down even heavier and faster,but I had just forgotten about the chill.After a long while,I looked homeward and quickened my pace.I felt compelled to get home as fast as I could to tell my wife what I had seen on such a snowy night.I thought,by the time I finished telling her the story, the blizzard would probably have stopped already.

原创试题(五)

第二节 (满分25 分)

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。

CHRISTMAS Eve had arrived.As last-minute shoppers were going home, a thick, white sheet of snow lay over the city.Yet the lights were still burning in the old-clock shop, as Ray, its old, deaf owner,worked on a clock he had sold that day.

Having finished his work, Ray stood up and was on his way to the back room when a cold rush of air from the front door hit the back of his neck.

He turned to meet a last-minute shopper, but his old, wise eyes told him that this was not a shopper.He saw two men, one in his twenties, the other closer to fifty.The younger man remained at the door.The older man approached the counter without friendliness in his eyes.Ray was able to hide his growing fear as he slowly pushed a notepad and a pencil across the counter.

He smiled at the unfriendly face, then pointed to his ears and shook his head from side to side.Surprised, the man studied the notepad, then turned and whispered to his friend.

Ray looked closely at the man, paying attention to the shape of a gun and a restless hand in his right coat-pocket.Anger within him, he said to himself,“Be still.”He wrote on the notepad, “May I help you?”For the first time the older man looked directly at Ray and smiled.They looked like men who were down on their luck and were now ready to try something they would later be sorry about.

The clocks ticked on.Ray calmly wrote another message.“Have you come to pick up a clock or watch?” Then he pointed to the loan board filled with hanging clocks and pocket watches.He was not a pawnbroker(当铺老板), but couldn’t say No to the needy people who placed their old watches or clocks before him for money.They would be there when the owners wanted them back...at the same price he had paid with no interest.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150 左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

Then the older man seemed to feel a little easier,took out his hand from his pocket and quickly looked at the watch on his wrist._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

The reply came back on the notepad,“Whatever it’s worth.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

参考范文:

Paragraph 1:Then the older man seemed to feel a little easier, took out his hand from his pocket and quickly looked at the watch on his wrist.“How much will you give me for this?”the man wrote.Ray noticed a little shame in the grey eyes looking at him.The watch was nothing special and yet had great powers.It was something to exchange, a way out of a bad situation.Knowing that great need had brought the man to his shop in the first place, Ray asked,“How much do you need for it?”

Paragraph 2:The reply came back on the notepad:“Whatever it’s worth.”Ray reached into his cashbox, pulled out a fifty-dollar note and passed it into the man’s hand.As they shook hands, Ray looked into the man’s eyes; they seemed to say, “Thank you!” They both knew the watch wasn’t worth that much.Before turning to leave, the man wrote, “I will be back to pick it up as soon as I can.Merry Christmas!”
