【译文欣赏】
如果你可以在世界上任何地方工作，你会选择去哪里？想象一下，在加勒比海的沙滩上填写电子表格，或是在罗马的一家屋顶咖啡馆，一边啜饮浓缩咖啡，一边剪辑社交媒体视频。越来越多的国家开始提供数字游民签证（digital nmad visa），让远程工作者可以自由选择工作地点。
这种工作方式正在兴起。2023年的一份报告显示，11%的美国工作者自认为是数字游民，而未来五年，这一群体预计将增长超过2000万人。传统上，数字游民大多是自由职业者，比如社交媒体经理、软件开发人员或文案撰稿人。但现在，即使是会计师、律师等传统职业也开始尝试这种生活方式。
但数字游民的真实生活究竟是什么样的呢？
【词汇积累】
【知识拓展】
数字游民（Digital Nmad）
指利用互联网远程工作，不受固定办公地点限制，可以在全球各地流动工作的人群。典型职业有：程序员、设计师、自由撰稿人、在线教育者等，但近年来传统行业（如金融、法律）也开始加入。数字游民的增长原因主要取决于以下因素：高速互联网的普及；远程协作工具（Zm、Slack）的成熟；疫情后企业对灵活办公的接受度提高。
【词汇延伸】
remte wrk 远程办公（不在固定地点工作）
wrk frm anywhere 随处办公（不受地理限制的工作模式）
take the leap 尝试突破（指传统职业者转向新工作方式）
n the rise 兴起（指某种现象正在增长）
traditinal prfessins 传统职业（如会计、律师等）
flexible wrk arrangement 弹性工作制（企业允许的灵活办公政策）
emtinal prisn 情感牢笼（自我封闭的心理状态）→ 对比数字游民的自由
break the rutine 打破常规（指脱离传统办公模式）
glbal mbility 全球流动性（自由选择居住地的能力）

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cwby wh saved his twn, a strict father wh demanded his sn earn straight A’s, and a mdern-day Juliet wh died f heartbreak after her parents rejected the lve f her yung life. Mre than nce, I fund myself wndering just hw my students, wh’d created these peple, knew their subjects s well. (去年，在我九年级的写作课上，我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲，还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次，我暗自琢磨，这些塑造了这些人物的学生，究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知，这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Mst f the essays filled less than ne page, and few cntained a sentence that culd be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shcked. Then I realized that the prblem was the questin itself. They culd have written pages n the necessity f cmputers, but writing, in and f itself, simply didn’t strike them as imprtant. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页，几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容，但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知，学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳，是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students tk n diverse tpics and turned in stries, 10 t 20 pages each, with characters。
1. Mre than nce, I fund myself wndering just hw my students, wh'd created these peple, knew their subjects s well.
抓标志：关系代词wh，疑问副词hw
判类型：主句：I fund myself wndering...宾语从句：hw my students knew their subjects s well（由hw引导）定语从句：wh'd created these peple（修饰students）。
试翻译：我不止一次地疑惑，这些创造了（故事中）人物的学生们，是如何如此了解他们笔下角色的。
2. But things were different fr their first essay, which was abut the questin: "Why is writing imprtant?"
抓标志: 关系代词which，冒号
判类型: 主句：things were different fr their first essay非限制性定语从句：which was abut the questin（修饰essay）直接引语：Why is writing imprtant?（作questin的同位语）
试翻译: 但他们的第一篇作文（主题是"写作为何重要？"）情况却截然不同。
3. They culd have written pages n the necessity f cmputers, but writing, in and f itself, simply didn't strike them as imprtant.
抓标志: 并列连词but，介词短语in and f itself
判类型:并列句1：They culd have written pages...（虚拟语气）；并列句2：writing didn't strike them as imprtant（主语writing，谓语strike）；插入成分：in and f itself（强调writing的本质属性）
试翻译: 他们本可以就计算机的必要性长篇大论，但写作本身在他们看来并不重要。
4. I nly required that the piece meet the specificatins f its genre and that it cntain a thesis.
抓标志: 连词that，并列连词and
判类型: 主句：I nly required...；宾语从句1：that the piece meet...（虚拟语气，省略shuld）；宾语从句2：that it cntain...（并列结构，同样用虚拟语气）
试翻译: 我只要求作品符合其体裁规范，并包含一个论点。
5. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbk full f messages abut writing's mst pwerful significance — the ability t cnnect peple, t put us in anther's skin, t teach us what it means t be human.
抓标志: 破折号，不定式短语t cnnect/put/teach
判类型: 时间状语从句：When the final bell rang…;主句：I walked away with a yearbk...同位语：破折号后三个不定式短语解释significance的具体内容；宾语从句：what it means t be human（作teach的宾语）
试翻译: 当六月的下课铃响起时，我带着写满留言的年鉴离开，这些留言揭示了写作最深刻的意义——联结人心、让我们换位思考、教会我们何以为人。

Passage 1
（24-25高二下·重庆·期中）Active nise cntrl technlgy is used by nise-canceling headphnes t minimize r cmpletely blck ut utside nise. Hwever, despite the many advancements in technlgy, peple still dn’t have much cntrl ver which sunds their headphnes blck ut and which they let pass.
Nw, deep learning algrithms have been develped by a grup f academics at the University f Washingtn that enable users t select which nises t filter thrugh their headphnes in real-time. The system has been named “semantic hearing” by its creatrs.
The Al-pwered headphnes remve all backgrund nise by streaming recrded audi t a smartphne that is linked t the devices. Thrugh this prcess, the headphne users can chse t strengthen r cancel ut 20 types f sunds, using vice cmmands r a smartphne app. The headphnes will then nly let thrugh the sunds that have been chsen by the wearer.
“The challenge is that the sunds headphne wearers hear need t syn (同步) with their visual senses. This means the neural algrithms must prcess sunds in under a hundredth f a secnd.” said senir authr Shyam Gllakta, a UW prfessr.
Due t this time cnstraint, the semantic hearing system chses a prcess that relies n nises cmmunicated n a device like a linked smartphne. Furthermre, in rder fr humans t cntinue t effectively experience sunds in their envirnment, the system needs t maintain these delays because sunds cming frm different directins enter peple’s ears at different times.
Trials were undertaken by the researchers in a variety f settings. The semantic hearing system was able t islate target sunds, while at the same time remving backgrund nise. In terms f the system’s audi utput fr the desired sunds, 22 participants gave it an average rating higher than they assigned t the riginal nise recrdings.
There were, hwever, a few disadvantages: the AI-pwered system ccasinally had truble recgnizing sunds that were t similar. The researchers said that the system culd prduce better results if its machine learning mdels were trained n mre real wrld data.
1. Which f the fllwing is True abut deep learning algrithms?
A. It culd prmte users’ listening ability.B. It culd help users remve unwanted nise.
C. It aims t stp peple entering nisy areas.D. It has been widely applied in cmmunicatin.
2. What shuld the neural algrithms d accrding t Shyam Gllakta?
A. Carefully select the headphne users.B. Prcess data withut nticeable delay.
C. Get rid f the pssible time cnstraint.D. Imprve the quality f smartphnes.
3. What did the researchers find abut the system in the trials?
A. It culd imprve individual listening experience.
B. It culd help them recgnize participants’ vices.
C. It has mre disadvantages than the advantages.
D. It’s suitable t strengthen the backgrund nise.
4. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The semantic hearing system still has sme drawbacks.
B. The semantic hearing system can recgnize human speech.
C. AI nise-canceling headphnes let yu chse what yu hear.
D. AI nise-canceling headphnes present a cmmercial versin.
【答案】1 B 2. B 3. A 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了华盛顿大学的一组学者开发的深度学习算法，使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤的噪音。
1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nw, deep learning algrithms have been develped by a grup f academics at the University f Washingtn that enable users t select which nises t filter thrugh their headphnes in real-time. The system has been named "semantic hearing" by its creatrs.(现在，华盛顿大学的一组学者开发了一种深度学习算法，使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤哪些噪音。该系统被其创建者命名为“语义听力”。)”可知，深度学习算法可以帮助用户消除不必要的噪音。故选B。
2. 推理判断题。根据第四段中““The challenge is that the sunds headphne wearers hear need t syn (同步) with their visual senses. This means the neural algrithms must prcess sunds in under a hundredth f a secnd.” said senir authr Shyam Gllakta, a UW prfessr.(“挑战在于，耳机佩戴者听到的声音需要与他们的视觉感官同步。这意味着神经算法必须在百分之一秒内处理声音。”资深作者、华盛顿大学教授Shyam Gllakta说。)”可知，Shyam Gllakta认为，耳机佩戴者听到的声音需要与他们的视觉感官同步，这意味着神经算法必须在百分之一秒内处理声音，即深度学习算法在处理数据时，没有明显的延迟。故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The semantic hearing system was able t islate target sunds, while at the same time remving backgrund nise. In terms f the system’s audi utput fr the desired sunds, 22 participants gave it an average rating higher than they assigned t the riginal nise recrdings.(语义听觉系统能够隔离目标声音，同时去除背景噪音。就系统输出的所需声音而言，22名参与者给出的平均评分高于他们对原始噪音记录的评分。)”可知，在试验中发现语义听觉系统能够隔离目标声音，同时去除背景噪音，22名参与者给它的平均评分高于他们给原始噪音录音的评分，即它的音质有所改善，可以改善个人的聆听体验。故选A。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Nw, deep learning algrithms have been develped by a grup f academics at the University f Washingtn that enable users t select which nises t filter thrugh their headphnes in real-time. The system has been named “semantic hearing” by its creatrs.(现在，华盛顿大学的一组学者开发了一种深度学习算法，使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤哪些噪音。该系统被其创建者命名为“语义听力”。)”以及通读全文可知，这篇文章介绍了华盛顿大学的一组学者开发的深度学习算法，使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤的噪音。通过将录制的音频传送到与设备连接的智能手机上，这种人工智能耳机可以通过语音命令或智能手机应用程序选择加强或消除20种类型的声音，并只允许佩戴者选择的声音通过，因此本文的主旨是C选项“AI nise-canceling headphnes let yu chse what yu hear.(人工智能降噪耳机让你选择你所听到的声音)”。故选C。
Passage 2
（24-25高二下·浙江宁波·期中）As we grw up, it becmes natural fr peple arund us t lse cntact with the hbbies that nce were dminant in their lives. While it’s painful t accept this, the new reality becmes nrmal fr mst f us as we face new academic, adult and jb respnsibilities.
I’ve been dancing since I was fur and I plan t cntinue dancing in cllege. Hwever, I’ve always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually becme a brilliant memry f my childhd. After learning abut Smmer Gentry’s stry, I had an answer.
Smmer Gentry, previusly a prfessr f mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a cach at the Naval Academy’s Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grssman Schl f Medicine. Gentry and her husband als started a swing dance cmmunity t intrduce nn-dancers t swing dance.
Thrugh teaching, Gentry was inspired t view dancing frm an engineering pint f view. She said, “I realized it is an engineering questin: hw d yu dance well with smene? It’d be great t give peple mathematical and engineering prfs that they have t dance the way I say.” Gentry investigated the cmplex haptic (触觉的) cmmunicatin behind the mves in swing dance and shwed that tw persns culd mve in crdinatin (协调) with pure haptic cmmunicatin, She entered an exciting area f research which is abut engineering, psychlgy and human mtr cntrl.
It’s incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able t intertwine her academic wrk with her passin fr dancing. Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing utside, I’m thinking abut my research prject.”
Gentry fund that digging int her academic interest des nt mean letting g f her ther nn-academic nes. Instead, she fund a way t include bth in her prfessinal life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her stry resnates (引起共鸣) strngly with me, and I want t be like her in the future.
1. What did the authr think f dancing befre learning f Gentry’s stry?
A. It was t challenging fr herB. It’d gradually disappear frm her life.
C. It’d help develp her sense f respnsibility.D. It brught her an unpleasant childhd memry.
2. What cntributed t Gentry’s studying dancing frm the angle f engineering?
A. Her interest in explring engineering prfs.B. Her husband’s need t prmte his dance club.
C. Her desire t be an expert in medicine and health.D. Her experience in teaching math and swing dance.
3. What des the underlined wrd “intertwine” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Hardly balanceB. Carefully cmpare.C. Clsely cmbine.D. Successfully challenge.
4. What des the last paragraph imply abut the authr?
A. She has decided t change her majr.B. She will cntinue t pursue her hbby.
C. She used t be Smmer Gentry’s student.D. She riginally had little interest in engineering.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讨论了数学教授Smmer Gentry如何将她对摇摆舞的热爱与工程学的角度相结合，研究舞蹈动作背后的触觉交流。作者也是一位舞者和数学家，对Gentry的故事感到鼓舞，并希望能够效仿她的脚步。文章还涉及到人们在成长和承担新责任时常常失去兴趣爱好的共同经历。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As we grw up, it becmes natural fr peple arund us t lse cntact with the hbbies that nce were dminant in their lives.(随着我们的成长，我们周围的人很自然地失去了曾经在他们生活中占主导地位的爱好。)”可知，作者认为跳舞将会逐渐从她的生活中消失。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gentry and her husband als started a swing dance cmmunity t intrduce nn-dancers t swing dance.( Gentry和她的丈夫还创办了一个摇摆舞社区，向不跳舞的人介绍摇摆舞。)”以及第四段中“Thrugh teaching, Gentry was inspired t view dancing frm an engineering pint f view. (通过教学，Gentry受到启发，从工程的角度来看待舞蹈。)”可知，Gentry在数学和摇摆舞方面的教学经验有助于自己从工程的角度研究舞蹈。故选D。
3. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing utside, I’m thinking abut my research prject.”(Gentry说：“这意味着即使当我在外面跳舞的时候，我也在思考我的研究项目。”)”以及“her academic wrk with her passin fr dancing(她的学术工作和对舞蹈的热爱)”可知，此处指出Gentry在外面跳舞的时候，也在思考自己的研究项目，由此把二者紧密的结合。故划线词与C选项为同义词，意为“Clsely cmbine.(紧密地结合)”。故选C。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her stry resnates (引起共鸣) strngly with me, and I want t be like her in the future.( 和我一样，Gentry也是一名数学家和舞蹈家，因此，她的故事与我产生了强烈的共鸣，我希望将来能像她一样。)”可知，作者从Gentry的身上学习到，自己的职业和爱好是可以相互结合的，由此对作者产生了影响，引发了作者的共鸣，由此作者也会像Gentry一样，在坚持自己事业的同时不会放弃自己的爱好。B选项“She will cntinue t pursue her hbby.( 她将继续追求她的爱好。)”与原文信息相符。故选B。

背景知识
美国中学写作教育的创新实践通常遵循"体裁教学法"(Genre-based Pedaggy)，强调通过不同文体训练提升学生的批判性思维与表达力。以加州某公立中学为例，其九年级写作课程体系包含三大核心模块：说服性写作；叙事写作；创意写作。这种教学法源自爱荷华作家工作坊的传统，经斯坦福大学"少年写作项目"(Yung Writers' Prgram)优化后在全美推广。数据显示，采用该模式的学校，学生写作投入度提升47%，情感表达能力提高32%(NWP,2022)。课程特别关注数字时代青少年的认知特点，将经典文学训练与新媒体写作结合，最终目标是通过文字建构"共情桥梁"(Empathy Bridge)——这正是文中教师所领悟的写作终极意义。
