课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·浙江杭州质检)For many, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about making the most of the journey.However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting, known as motion sickness.If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone.Recognizing this common issue, a company has stepped up to offer a revolutionary solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnection between what your eyes see and what your body feels.When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals.This sensory conflict can lead to dizziness, nausea, and overall discomfort—symptoms all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
The new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.This revolutionary feature works by displaying animated dots, around the edges of your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle.These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
The magic lies in the simplicity and effectiveness.The animated dots move in consistency with the vehicle’s motion, providing a visual representation of the movement your body is experiencing.By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness.So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that the company has got your back—or rather, your brain—helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了晕动病和一家公司提供的革命性解决方案——Vehicle Motion Cues。
1.Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues
A.Frequent travelers.
B.Book lovers.
C.Vehicle operators.
D.Sport scientists.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However，for a lot of people...vomiting，known as motion sickness.”可知，对于很多人来说，旅程经常被一种不舒服的经历破坏，这种经历通常伴随着呕吐，也被称为晕动病。然后下文谈到一家公司提供了一个革命性的解决方案——Vehicle Motion Cues功能。所以可推知，一些经常旅行的人会对Vehicle Motion Cues感兴趣。故选A。
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The principle of the new design.
B.The cause of motion sickness.
C.The functions of the new design.
D.The symptoms of motion sickness.
答案：B
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，当你的眼睛看到的和身体感觉到的之间脱节时，就会发生晕动病。当你在移动的车上时，你的身体通过前庭系统感受到了移动，但若你的眼睛专注于一个静止的、不反映该移动的屏幕，大脑接收到的信号就会很乱，这种感官冲突可导致晕动病症状。故可知，本段主要讲述晕动病的原因。故选B。
3.By displaying animated dots around the screen, Vehicle Motion Cues is able to .
A.ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B.tell the mismatched physical sensations
C.balance the movement of our eyes and body
D.increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，Vehicle Motion Cues通过在屏幕边缘显示动画点(这些点的移动时间和速度与车辆的运动相同)而发挥作用。这些移动线索有助于使你的身体感觉到的移动与你的眼睛所看到的保持一致，从而有效减少导致晕动病的感觉不匹配。也就是说通过在屏幕边缘展示动画点，Vehicle Motion Cues能够缓解那些有晕动病的人大脑中的感官冲突。故选A。
4.Which can be the best title for the text
A.Make the Most of Your Journey: A Company Bridges the Gap
B.Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: A Company’s Got Your Back
C.Enjoy Your Reading: A Company Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D.Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: A Company Introduces Its New Design
答案：D
解析：标题归纳题。本文第一段引入话题——晕动病及一家公司提供的革命性解决方案——Vehicle Motion Cues，接下来主要谈到Vehicle Motion Cues的工作原理、奇妙之处及市场反响等。故本文主要讲述了一家公司的新设计——能够缓解晕动病的Vehicle Motion Cues。故选D。
Ⅱ.完形填空
Katherine would never forget the day when her daughter brought a plate from kindergarten，with a drawing of mouse-like creatures on it.
“Emma，what are these little characters What do you 1 them？” Katherine said.“Mom，they’re my 2 .They come to children who are lonely or who were meant to have a 3 life，” Emma said.It 4 the unemployed 36-year-old mom’s heart during a time when she wasn’t feeling too good about her job 5 .

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在巴黎举行的中国壁画艺术展，包括壁画的相关信息、高科技与壁画的整合以及展览的意义等。
1.答案：where
解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个定语从句，先行词是表示地点的名词platform，从句中缺少地点状语，所以填关系副词where。句意：展览为中法两国及国际社会就文化遗产保护问题进行对话提供了平台。
2.答案：is located
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处是which引导的定语从句的谓语。结合语境“永乐宫位于山西省芮城”可知，此处考查词组be located in；本句描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时；主语which指代the Yongle Palace，是第三人称单数。所以填is located。句意：本次展览展出了位于山西省芮城的永乐宫的非凡壁画。
3.答案：serving
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，was built是本句的谓语动词，serve和was built之间没有连词，故serve作非谓语动词；serve与主语the palace为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以填serving。句意：这座宫殿建于元朝(1271-1368)，在永乐皇帝统治期间用作祭祖中心，并于1961年被列为全国重点文物保护单位。
4.答案：and
解析：考查连词。分析句子结构可知，was built和listed作本句的并列谓语且此处表示顺承，所以填and。
5.答案：the
解析：考查冠词。根据空后的unique charm(形容词＋名词)可知，空处需要用冠词。此处特指这些壁画的独特魅力，所以填the。句意：本次展览通过高科技的复制和展示，让每一位参观者都能近距离感受到这些壁画的独特魅力，这些壁画不仅展示了高超的艺术技巧，而且对研究中国的思想、艺术和宗教文化都具有重要的参考价值。
6.答案：exceptional
解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的名词art skills，需要用形容词，所以空处填exceptional“优秀的，卓越的”。
7.答案：integration(s)
解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处与空后的classical culture and modern technology in the exhibition为所属关系，空处需要用名词，单复数皆可，所以填integration(s)。句意：展览中古典文化与现代技术的融合为传统艺术形式注入了新的活力，使它们能够为全球观众所了解。
8.答案：to
解析：考查介词。此处考查固定表达be accessible to，意为“易于接近的，易得到的”，accessible to a global audience作宾语补足语，所以填to。
9.答案：highlighted
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为with复合结构，该空为结构里的宾语补足语，highlight(突出，强调)和宾语the cultural importance of these murals为逻辑上的动宾关系，空处需要用过去分词，所以填highlighted。句意：此次展览突出了这些壁画的文化重要性，象征着全球对中国丰富的文化和宗教遗产日益增长的兴趣，并促进了多元文化背景下国家之间更好的理解与合作。
10.答案：promoted
解析：考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，空处与上文中的symbolized同作本句的谓语，故此处也需要用一般过去时。所以填promoted。(共38张PPT)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·浙江杭州质检)For many, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about making the most of the journey.However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting, known as motion sickness.If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone.Recognizing this common issue, a company has stepped up to offer a revolutionary solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnection between what your eyes see and what your body feels.When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals.This sensory conflict can lead to dizziness, nausea, and overall discomfort—symptoms all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
The new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.This revolutionary feature works by displaying animated dots, around the edges of your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle.These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
The magic lies in the simplicity and effectiveness.The animated dots move in consistency with the vehicle’s motion, providing a visual representation of the movement your body is experiencing.By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness.So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that the company has got your back—or rather, your brain—helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了晕动病和一家公司提供的革命性解决方案——Vehicle Motion Cues。
1.Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues
A.Frequent travelers.
B.Book lovers.
C.Vehicle operators.
D.Sport scientists.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However，for a lot of people...vomiting，known as motion sickness.”可知，对于很多人来说，旅程经常被一种不舒服的经历破坏，这种经历通常伴随着呕吐，也被称为晕动病。然后下文谈到一家公司提供了一个革命性的解决方案——Vehicle Motion Cues功能。所以可推知，一些经常旅行的人会对Vehicle Motion Cues感兴趣。故选A。
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The principle of the new design.
B.The cause of motion sickness.
C.The functions of the new design.
D.The symptoms of motion sickness.
答案：B
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，当你的眼睛看到的和身体感觉到的之间脱节时，就会发生晕动病。当你在移动的车上时，你的身体通过前庭系统感受到了移动，但若你的眼睛专注于一个静止的、不反映该移动的屏幕，大脑接收到的信号就会很乱，这种感官冲突可导致晕动病症状。故可知，本段主要讲述晕动病的原因。故选B。
3.By displaying animated dots around the screen, Vehicle Motion Cues is able to .
A.ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B.tell the mismatched physical sensations
C.balance the movement of our eyes and body
D.increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，Vehicle Motion Cues通过在屏幕边缘显示动画点(这些点的移动时间和速度与车辆的运动相同)而发挥作用。这些移动线索有助于使你的身体感觉到的移动与你的眼睛所看到的保持一致，从而有效减少导致晕动病的感觉不匹配。也就是说通过在屏幕边缘展示动画点，Vehicle Motion Cues能够缓解那些有晕动病的人大脑中的感官冲突。故选A。
4.Which can be the best title for the text
A.Make the Most of Your Journey: A Company Bridges the Gap
B.Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: A Company’s Got Your Back
C.Enjoy Your Reading: A Company Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D.Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: A Company Introduces Its New Design
答案：D
解析：标题归纳题。本文第一段引入话题——晕动病及一家公司提供的革命性解决方案——Vehicle Motion Cues，接下来主要谈到Vehicle Motion Cues的工作原理、奇妙之处及市场反响等。故本文主要讲述了一家公司的新设计——能够缓解晕动病的Vehicle Motion Cues。故选D。

Katherine would never forget the day when her daughter brought a plate from kindergarten，with a drawing of mouse-like creatures on it.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了失业的Katherine受女儿画的动物启发，决定创造一系列以这些小动物为原型的毛绒玩具。通过这个项目，Katherine找到了自己的方向。
1.A.leave　　　　　　　　　B.call
C.bring D.feed
答案：B
解析：上文讲述女儿从幼儿园带回来了一个盘子，上面画着老鼠一样的动物。由此可推知，Katherine应该是问女儿该怎么称呼她画的这些小动物。feed“喂养”。故选B。
2.A.representatives B.classmates
C.supporters D.guides
答案：A
解析：根据第17空后的“turn ‘The Representatives’ into dolls”可知，Katherine把这些代表作品变成了玩偶。由此可知，此处女儿回答它们是自己画的代表作品。故选A。本题属于原词重现。
3.A.longer B.tougher
C.better D.fairer
答案：C
解析：根据空前的“children who are lonely”可推知，此处是女儿认为这些画是送给那些孤独的或者本应该过上更好(better)生活(而实际没有过上更好生活)的孩子的。tougher“更艰难的”；fairer“更公平的”。故选C。
4.A.broke B.closed
C.touched D.won

8.A.learned B.imagined
C.wanted D.promised
答案：C
解析：根据空前的“Every day，I would work on it”和下文信息可知，Katherine愿意每天都做这个，所以这里表达的意思是久而久之，Katherine认为这是她真正想要做的。promise“许诺，承诺”。故选C。
9.A.tested B.labeled
C.copied D.sewed
答案：D
解析：根据空前的“Katherine cut patterns，wrote storylines”可知，Katherine把这些图案剪下，然后写上故事情节，再结合空后的“turn ‘The Representatives’ into dolls”可推知，从图案变成玩偶需要缝纫。故选D。
10.A.advertised B.completed
C.marked D.printed
答案：B
解析：根据空前后信息可知，如今，Katherine完成了四个玩偶原型。故选B。

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在巴黎举行的中国壁画艺术展，包括壁画的相关信息、高科技与壁画的整合以及展览的意义等。
1.答案：where
解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个定语从句，先行词是表示地点的名词platform，从句中缺少地点状语，所以填关系副词where。句意：展览为中法两国及国际社会就文化遗产保护问题进行对话提供了平台。
2.答案：is located
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处是which引导的定语从句的谓语。结合语境“永乐宫位于山西省芮城”可知，此处考查词组be located in；本句描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时；主语which指代the Yongle Palace，是第三人称单数。所以填is located。句意：本次展览展出了位于山西省芮城的永乐宫的非凡壁画。
3.答案：serving
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，was built是本句的谓语动词，serve和was built之间没有连词，故serve作非谓语动词；serve与主语the palace为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以填serving。句意：这座宫殿建于元朝(1271-1368)，在永乐皇帝统治期间用作祭祖中心，并于1961年被列为全国重点文物保护单位。
4.答案：and
解析：考查连词。分析句子结构可知，was built和listed作本句的并列谓语且此处表示顺承，所以填and。
5.答案：the
解析：考查冠词。根据空后的unique charm(形容词＋名词)可知，空处需要用冠词。此处特指这些壁画的独特魅力，所以填the。句意：本次展览通过高科技的复制和展示，让每一位参观者都能近距离感受到这些壁画的独特魅力，这些壁画不仅展示了高超的艺术技巧，而且对研究中国的思想、艺术和宗教文化都具有重要的参考价值。
6.答案：exceptional
解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的名词art skills，需要用形容词，所以空处填exceptional“优秀的，卓越的”。
7.答案：integration(s)
解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处与空后的classical culture and modern technology in the exhibition为所属关系，空处需要用名词，单复数皆可，所以填integration(s)。句意：展览中古典文化与现代技术的融合为传统艺术形式注入了新的活力，使它们能够为全球观众所了解。
8.答案：to
解析：考查介词。此处考查固定表达be accessible to，意为“易于接近的，易得到的”，accessible to a global audience作宾语补足语，所以填to。
9.答案：highlighted
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为with复合结构，该空为结构里的宾语补足语，highlight(突出，强调)和宾语the cultural importance of these murals为逻辑上的动宾关系，空处需要用过去分词，所以填highlighted。句意：此次展览突出了这些壁画的文化重要性，象征着全球对中国丰富的文化和宗教遗产日益增长的兴趣，并促进了多元文化背景下国家之间更好的理解与合作。
10.答案：promoted
解析：考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，空处与上文中的symbolized同作本句的谓语，故此处也需要用一般过去时。所以填promoted。(共49张PPT)

Ⅲ.语法填空
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在巴黎举行的中国壁画艺术展，包括壁画的相关信息、高科技与壁画的整合以及展览的意义等。
(2025·山东济南质检)An exhibition of Chinese mural (壁画) art made its first appearance overseas at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.The exhibition provided a platform, 1. China, France and international communities had a dialogue on cultural heritage conservation.
1.答案：where
解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个定语从句，先行词是表示地点的名词platform，从句中缺少地点状语，所以填关系副词where。句意：展览为中法两国及国际社会就文化遗产保护问题进行对话提供了平台。
This exhibition featured the extraordinary murals from the Yongle Palace, which 2. (locate) in Ruicheng, Shanxi Province.The palace was built during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), 3. (serve) as a center of worship (祭祖) during the rule of Emperor Yongle,
4. listed as a national key cultural heritage conservation unit in 1961.
2.答案：is located
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处是which引导的定语从句的谓语。结合语境“永乐宫位于山西省芮城”可知，此处考查词组be located in；本句描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时；主语which指代the Yongle Palace，是第三人称单数。所以填is located。句意：本次展览展出了位于山西省芮城的永乐宫的非凡壁画。
3.答案：serving
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，was built是本句的谓语动词，serve和was built之间没有连词，故serve作非谓语动词；serve与主语the palace为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以填serving。句意：这座宫殿建于元朝(1271-1368)，在永乐皇帝统治期间用作祭祖中心，并于1961年被列为全国重点文物保护单位。
4.答案：and
解析：考查连词。分析句子结构可知，was built和listed作本句的并列谓语且此处表示顺承，所以填and。
In this exhibition, high technology was used for reproduction and display to let every visitor experience 5. unique charm of these murals up close, which not only exhibited 6. (exception) art skills but also held significant reference value for the study of Chinese thought, art and religious culture.The 7. (integrate) of classical culture and modern technology in the exhibition breathed new life into traditional art forms and made them accessible 8. a global audience.
5.答案：the
解析：考查冠词。根据空后的unique charm(形容词＋名词)可知，空处需要用冠词。此处特指这些壁画的独特魅力，所以填the。句意：本次展览通过高科技的复制和展示，让每一位参观者都能近距离感受到这些壁画的独特魅力，这些壁画不仅展示了高超的艺术技巧，而且对研究中国的思想、艺术和宗教文化都具有重要的参考价值。
6.答案：exceptional
解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的名词art skills，需要用形容词，所以空处填exceptional“优秀的，卓越的”。
7.答案：integration(s)
解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处与空后的classical culture and modern technology in the exhibition为所属关系，空处需要用名词，单复数皆可，所以填integration(s)。句意：展览中古典文化与现代技术的融合为传统艺术形式注入了新的活力，使它们能够为全球观众所了解。
8.答案：to
解析：考查介词。此处考查固定表达be accessible to，意为“易于接近的，易得到的”，accessible to a global audience作宾语补足语，所以填to。
With the cultural importance of these murals 9. (highlight), the exhibition symbolized the growing interest in China’s rich cultural and religious heritage on the global stage and 10. (promote) better understanding and cooperation between countries in a multicultural context.
9.答案：highlighted
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为with复合结构，该空为结构里的宾语补足语，highlight(突出，强调)和宾语the cultural importance of these murals为逻辑上的动宾关系，空处需要用过去分词，所以填highlighted。句意：此次展览突出了这些壁画的文化重要性，象征着全球对中国丰富的文化和宗教遗产日益增长的兴趣，并促进了多元文化背景下国家之间更好的理解与合作。
10.答案：promoted
解析：考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，空处与上文中的symbolized同作本句的谓语，故此处也需要用一般过去时。所以填promoted。
