Here are many ways to understand different kinds of art. You don't need to visit the most famous museum in your area. Instead, have an adult help you look at the websites of a few local museums to see what exhibits(展览) they have. Choose one you' re interested in to visit. For example, if you enjoy taking photos, you might go to a photography exhibit. If a piece of art(艺术品) catches your eyes, you may start by getting close to the artwork. Think about the story the artwork may be trying to tell. Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn't notice before. If you want to find out more details of the artwork, a volunteer at the museum maybe helpful to talk to you about it. Free brochures(手册) may also provide information. You can also ask yourself what the work means to you. For example, maybe the colors in the piece remind you of a place that's special to you or the emotions you' ve been feeling. After you leave the museum, consider which pieces of art stay in your mind and why. Talk to a friend who went with you, and ask them about their favorite pieces, too. The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really. 24. What's the writer's advice when choosing a museum? A. Ask your parents to help you decide. B. Visit the most famous museum nearby. C. Choose an exhibit that interests you. 25. Why do you need a notebook and pencil according to paragraph 3? A. To draw a similar picture by yourself. B. To draw a picture of yourself quickly. C. To write down the story of the artwork. 26. What may be the magic of art really according to the last paragraph? A. The art pieces that stay in your mind for a long time. B. The way you understand an artist through their work. C. The time you spend talking with your friend or adult. 27. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?(P= Paragraph) 试题 第4页 (共10页) C A video went popular on August 15, 2023. In the video, there was a group of tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Suddenly they found their hair standing on end, which scared everyone on the scene. According to the tourists, their hair returned to normal situation after they drove 3 kilometers down the road. Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon(现象) is a sign of a coming storm. They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible. However, Feng Minxue, an expert said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation. According to Feng, if a person's hair is dry and there is a little too much static electricity(静电), there is still time to leave. However, if the hair has already stood on end, running can be fatal because it may put the person in danger. The correct way is to lower one's body height. If they can't leave the mountain top in time, they should quickly crouch(蹲) down in that place, bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head, avoiding touching the ground. Wu Xueke, a professor, thinks that the clouds with electricity above the head of the tourists caused the situation. The electric field distortion(畸变) above their head became strong, and then it caused static electricity in their hair. In some serious cases, the person might be hit by lightning. Therefore, if people meet with such a situation outdoors, they should keep a clear mind and take action properly. 28. What happened in the video? A. Tourists got lost in the desert. B. Tourists' hair stood on end while traveling. C. Tourists drove 13 kilometers fast. 29. What did many people on the Internet advise the tourists to do? A. Record the sign carefully. B. Lie down quietly. C. Run away immediately. 30. According to Feng, what should the tourists do? ① Keep their body down. ② Bring their feet close together. ③ Protect their head. ④ Touch the ground. A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ 31. What can we know from the last paragraph? 试题 第 5页 (共 10页) A. People outdoors should try to avoid dark clouds. B. Strong electric field distortion can cause static electricity in hair. C. People are easily hit by lightning in the desert. 第二节 (共4小题； 每小题2分，满分8分) 请阅读下面这篇短文，根据短文内容，从A~F中选出正确的选项与相关的短文内容匹配。选项中有一项为多余选项。 The first China- Central Asia Summit(中国一中亚峰会) was held in Xi’ an, China on 18 May and 19 May.

It was a really relaxing and 46 ( peace) sport for her. To celebrate her 60th birthday, Forrestall decided to pick up the hobby back. 47 it would be very difficult for her, she still wanted to have a try. She bought a new pair of skates. They didn't feel like the ones she had before. Then she 48 ( search) online and found an old pair of skates. They looked like her old ones but they were 10 inches long. Forrestall measured (测量) her feet and they were 10 inches long, so she bought the old skates 49 thinking twice. The skates were very dirty. The laces(鞋带) were missing. But that didn't matter when Forrestall tried 50 ( they) on. They really fit her feet. When she took off the skates, she was surprised 51 ( see) her name inside them. They have belonged to her! She sold the skates 40 years ago during a yard sale and always regretted(懊悔) it. She couldn't believe that she got them back 40 years later.

This could be called an instrumental (工具性) reason for collecting. They’ ll look for antiques (古董) that they can buy cheaply and expect to sell at a higher price. But there may well be a psychological thought, too— buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of achievement. Another reason for collecting is the desire (渴望) to find something special, such as a rare early recording by a famous singer. Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this. Psychologically, this can give a purpose to a life. There is a danger, though, that if one is lucky enough to find what he is looking for, he may 试题 第8页 (共10页) feel empty, because the goal that drove him on has gone. If you think about collecting postage stamps, another reason is its educational value (教育价值). Stamp collecting opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps.60. In the 19th century, many collectors collected animals and plants from all over the world and their collections provided a large number of information about the natural world. Without those collections, our understanding would be far behind what it is. Not all collectors are interested in learning from their hobbies. Some people collect because of the need for a sense of control. Stamp collectors, for instance, arrange their stamps in albums very neatly according to their preferred principles. 56. What can give the business collectors a sense of achievement? 57. What is the educational value of collecting stamps? 58. If you are a collector, what will you collect? And why? 59. 将画线句式译为英文。 60. 将画线句式译为中文。 IV. 写作(满分15分) 61. Think of a singer or writer you know well. Write an article about your favorite singer or writer. 要点如下： 1. Who is the singer or writer? When did he/ she first become famous? 2. How and why did he/ she first become famous? 3. What famous songs/ books has he/ she written? When? 4.
