【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MdelScpe到现在的OpenAI的Sra，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“An early text-t-vide AI tl called MdelScpe, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability t accurately represent the text prmpt — sme users even described the vide that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-t-vide AI wuld blur the line between the digital and the real. (早期的一款名为MdelScpe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，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“Tls based n a diffusin system, like OpenAI’s Sra, are trained t recgnize bjects s they can refine images by filtering ut the incrrect visual patches. (基于扩散系统的工具，如OpenAI的Sra，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Sra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, yu can still experiment with simple text-t-vide tls like invide AI, a prduct that was created with marketing, cntent creatin and educatin in mind. It’s perfect fr creating nline tutrials, “explainer” vides r prviding visuals fr a shrt stry. (与此同时，你仍然可以尝试简单的文本转视频工具，比如invide AI，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，invide AI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invide AI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“An early text-t-vide AI tl called MdelScpe, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability t accurately represent the text prmpt — sme users even described the vide that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-t-vide AI wuld blur the line between the digital and the real.

【答案】36．C 37．D 38．A 39．B 40．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“The nly details they include are thse necessary fr the reader t understand the sentences’ meaning. Fr example, the sign “Wait behind the yellw line,” at a train platfrm includes “yellw” s travelers knw where t stand.（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One key aspect f plain writing is ensuring sentences are as shrt as pssible.（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“If yu wrk in IT, yu can cmfrtably use the wrd “latency” with yur clleagues.（如果您从事IT工作，那么您可以轻松地与同事使用“latency”这个词。）”提到您可以轻松地与同事使用“latency”这个词，以及下文“But when speaking with smene withut an IT backgrund, yu might instead use “slw” t ensure that they knw what yu’re talking abut.（但是当你和一个没有IT背景的人说话时，你可以用“slw”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That is because they knw what it means.（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clleagues，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“Plain language is mre than wrd chices, thugh. It als invlves structuring writing t priritize clarity.（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“Fr example, use clear headers fr each sectin. Mentin the tpic early in a sentence r paragraph. Write directly t yur read.（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This can be achieved in the fllwing ways.（这可以通过以下方式实现。）可知，This指代的是“It als invlves structuring writing t priritize clarity.”，“in the fllwing ways”呼应的是下文“Fr example, use clear headers fr each sectin. Mentin the tpic early in a sentence r paragraph. Write directly t yur read.”，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 “Write directly t yur reader. （直接写给读者。）”，再结合B项“In many cases, this means writing in the secnd persn pint f view.（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“By using plain language, yu demnstrate respect fr yur readers’ time and intelligence.（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, it develps psitive relatinships with them.（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。

【解析】
一、文章基调
续写第一段的内容需要围绕着我看着graphic nvel突然想出的idea展开，包括idea是什么，和graphic有什么关系，以及pages的内容和制作过程展开(结合续写第二段第一句The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.)。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graphic nvel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:meets their gal、felt bad abut、 leave ut、 were stuck in、Having first teamed up、walked 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S, I decided t d smething t make it up fr him and cnvince Kash he was an equal friend.以及续写第一段That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic nvel that all three f us liked.和续写第二段段首The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.可得知，pages 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The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.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What surprised me was that she had intended t draw names t assign randm grups, but didn’t get a chance t say it befre lunch.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That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic nvel that all three f us liked.，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，The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.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：
That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic nvel that all three f us liked. The stry was abut a grup f friends wh faced an unexpected accident, and they finally made it with their jint effrts. Kash had nce mentined a character he greatly admired. It dawned n me that I culd create a cartn character fr him, and I was cnfident that he wuld discern the sincerity in my artwrk and understand that I had never intended t hurt him. Despite being an idit in the art f drawing, I pured my heart and sul int the cartn and attached a small nte that read, "Dear friend, I am s srry. Culd yu frgive me?"
The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash. Upn seeing them, his face sftened.I prceeded t expressed hw much we valued his friendship and hw bad we felt abut leaving him ut f ur team. Kash's frwn gradually gave way t a smile，and he replied, "Yes, I frgive yu." Later in class, ur teacher disclsed the previus assignment fr each grup. Unfrtunately, the three f us were unable t wrk tgether. Hwever, it did nt matter because we had already turned ver a new page.The Battle f the Bks may have been a cmpetitin, but t us, it was an crucial chapter in ur tale f friendship.
