We cannot argue with science. Therefore, we simply cannot argue with the fact that there are no straight lines in the universe.”指出从现实和科学出发,宇宙中没有直线,后面的段落围绕这一点展开。因此,本段主要是引入文章的话题:宇宙中没有直线。故选A项。 2.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中“The brain forms the concept of a straight line to simplify what you see in nature. Consider it a tool for the mind to recognize reality.”(大脑形成直线的概念是为了简化你在自然中看到的东西。把它看作是大脑认识现实的工具。)可推知,如果没有直线概念,自然界的东西将看起来非常复杂。故选B项。 3.C　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Greek thinkers and scholars like Aristotle in the 5th century already proved that the Earth was a globe, but many Europeans at that time did not believe in this idea! However, some Europeans during the Age of Exploration denied this belief. Just as the famous Italian scientist Galileo Galilei was persecuted (迫害) for advocating a heliocentric (日心的) model of the solar system, many thinkers like Giordano Bruno were shamed for believing that the Earth was round.”可知,很长一段时间中,很多欧洲人并不相信地球是一个球体的想法,在大航海时代那些有正确想法的科学家和思想家还受到压迫。由此可知,证明地球是个球体的道路漫长而又艰难。故选C项。 4.D　主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中“Therefore, we simply cannot argue with the fact that there are no straight lines in the universe.”可知,作者向我们论述了宇宙中不存在直线的事实,进而谈到人生是没有直线的。因此,D项“直线:根本不存在”契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了人工智能模型Sora对电影产业的影响,但专家表示Sora不会取代电影产业。 1.G　根据上文“Videos generated by Sora display strong consistency when it comes to characters and backgrounds, and support continuous shots of up to 60 seconds, including highly detailed settings and multiple camera angles.”(Sora生成的视频在人物和背景方面显示出强大的一致性,并支持长达60秒的连续拍摄,包括高度详细的设置和多个相机角度。)可知,空处承接上文,说明使用Sora的意义。故G选项(这意味着,只要一个文本描述,使用Sora的普通人就可能可以成为“伟大的导演”。)符合语境。故选G项。 2.E　根据上文“Meanwhile, experts say not to worry excessively, as the integration of AI will help optimize certain occupations, attract more innovative talents and bring new possibilities to the film and television ... ...
