资源简介 课时数智作业(三十七)选择性必修第四册 Unit 1 Looking forwardsⅠ.阅读理解A 篇(限时7分钟)Everyone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed (有缺点的) being. In scene after scene,they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the tale,they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives (叙述) we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan P. McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.McAdams invited 14- and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later,members of this group reported greater persistence (坚持) and better grades in their schoolwork.Exciting as these results are,some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that,hearing about the power of self-narratives,many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can't,they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”.Clearly,self-narratives aren't the panacea. Nevertheless,if you hope for self-improvement,you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles,we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.1.What does the research focus on?( )A.The causes of stress.B.The principles of narratives.C.The connection between struggles and well-being.D.The link between mental health and self-narratives.2.Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3?( )A.To give proof.B.To make a prediction.C.To draw a conclusion.D.To make a comparison.3.What does the underlined word “panacea” in the last paragraph refer to?( )A.Attempt to get rid of worries.B.Means of recognizing yourself.C.Solution to adolescent problems.D.Guarantee of becoming better people.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( )A.Embrace Life StrugglesB.Be Your Own HeroC.Ways to Make a Good StoryD.The Power of Self-improvementB 篇(限时7分钟)(2024·四川德阳三模)Rapid advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked concerns regarding the future of work and human creativity.As AI technologies exhibit remarkable capabilities in tasks requiring originality,there is a growing apprehension about potential job displacement and the redefinition of creativity.In a recent study published in Scientific Reports,AI programs outperformed the average human in tasks demanding imagination.Participants were tasked with generating imaginative uses for commonplace objects,with AI responses often judged as more creative than those from humans.Although human ideas scored higher in terms of originality,the average scores of AI responses surpassed those of humans,leading to headlines discussing AI's creativity surpassing human capabilities.This research has increased anxieties among professionals,particularly those in creative industries.For individuals like Kat Lyons,a background artist in animation,the ascent of AI-generated content poses a risk to their livelihood and prompts concerns about the future of artistry.The adoption of AI tools by entertainment giants such as Marvel and Disney increases these fears,fostering uncertainties regarding the authenticity and sustainability of artistic professions.The widespread apprehension surrounding AI's progress extends beyond job displacement to include broader social influences.Mary Alvord,a psychologist,observes that concerns about data privacy,job security,and human out of style contribute to a widespread sense of unease.However,managing AI anxiety necessitates a balanced approach,acknowledging both the potential benefits of AI and addressing its potential dangers.Experts stress the importance of contextualizing AI advancements within historical and technological frameworks.Sanae Okamoto,a psychologist,points to past instances of technological anxiety,suggesting that understanding AI's benefits and limitations can lessen fears.By becoming familiar with AI tools and advocating regulatory measures,individuals can transform apprehension into authorization.5.What does the underlined word “apprehension” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?( )A.Excitement.
