(2023-2024学年高二下·吉林白山·期末)Nicolas Chorier is not a usual photographer, but a kite aerial (航空的) photographer. He uses a kite to lift his camera into the sky and clicks photos. As a teenager, Nicolas had two passions — photography and kite flying. During a trip to India to make a photo report on kite making, he learnt about this unique style of photography. Fascinated, he literally tied his two hobbies together for a living. Nicolas learnt to make strong kites modelled on Rokkaku, a kite that could stand high winds. As a newbie in his chosen field, he set out to train himself.
Today he is one of the most well-known kite aerial photographers in the world. The technique is to tie a basket containing the photography equipment to the string of the kite and then fly it, thus launching the camera into air, From the ground, Nicolas controls the angles of the camera with a remote. An air-to-ground video link enables him to see the view from the kite’s point. Once satisfied with the frame, he clicks a picture. However, the job does have its pitfalls, too. Once, his kite disappeared in the Yamuna River, with his expensive camera following it.
He is especially fond of India, having made a couple of trips and taken many spectacular photos. “India is a too vast and beautiful country to be captured through the cameras in one life,” he says.

(23-24高二下·广东广州·期末)Scientists are working on new technology that may aid art historians in answering the question: Masterpiece or masterful imitation(仿制品)?
Art historians, are often asked to authenticate(鉴定) art with their knowledge of the subject and science and technology. The materials used in the painting are often analyzed and X-rayed. Now, art historians may have another technological tool to help their process. Scientists have developed a new authentication technique that analyzes and sorts out paintings based on a digital analysis of the artist’s style.
The digital authentication technique takes scans of art work that have already been authenticated as being from a master artist. From these scans, it creates a statistical model of the artist's work: a baseline. New paintings can be compared to the baseline to find consistencies and inconsistencies in an artist’s work. The images of the two paintings reveal what the human eye could not see. When the analysis recognizes this difference, the fakes are found out. In an experiment, the model automatically grouped together the eight authenticated works, separating them from five imitations.
However, some art historians held some different views on the new technique. “It’s an interesting idea. But I think a much larger sample of work has to be tested,” said Nadine Oberstein, head of an art museum in New York. If the technology turns out to be accurate, she added, it could be used to add to the expertise of scholars.
Most importantly, Hany Farid, a computer scientist says, “such a method could be used to determine whether more than one person or hand was involved in creating a painting”. Using his model, Farid studied the faces of six individual characters in the painting Madonna with Child. Three of the faces proved to be statistically similar, while the three other faces were all different. This indicates that at least four hands contributed to the painting. “If further studies prove convincingly that this computer program effectively distinguishes between different artistic hands, it will lead to a whole new era in the study of the workshop practice of artists.” said Farid.
8. Why are scientists developing the new technique?
A. To create digital copies of famous paintings.
B. To improve the process of art authentication.
C. To make displays more interactive for visitors.
D. To replace art historians in authenticating works.
9. How does the digital authentication technique work?
A. By analyzing materials. B. By identifying style patterns.
C. By X-raying a baseline. D. By comparing to a statistical model.
10. What is Nadine’s attitude towards the new technique?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.
11. What can the new technique tell about a painting?
A. The painter of the masterpiece.
B. The materials used in the painting.
C. The time period in which the painting was created.
D. The number of painters involved in creating the painting.

(2023-2024学年高二下·甘肃白银·期末)In school, I’d often draw cartoons about what I was learning instead of taking notes. And obviously, I had the right idea all along. A new study found drawing is a good memory technique.
A group of scientists had participants try and memorize the definition of a set of words. They had some participants copy the words and their definitions. They had other participants draw out the meaning of the words. The drawers memorized more words.
“We reasoned that drawing improves memory, at least in part, because it requires elaboration(详述) on the meaning of the term and translating the definition into a picture,” wrote the researchers. What’s more, the scientists found older people were worse than younger people at memorizing when the two wrote out their definitions. But the two groups showed no difference when it came to memorizing from drawing.
I’ve learned many mnemonics in my day. I’ve pictured strange images that relate to the words I’m memorizing, put facts to music and associated words with pieces of furniture. But I’ve never heard of this “drawing effect,” as the researchers put it, though I’ve used it without realizing it.
It makes sense though. Images must be built much deeper into our brains than letters. Image processing took place before writing. Mostly, I’m surprised that many educators haven’t realized that fun learning is better learning. Pictures and songs stick in the brain better than pages of text.
Humans like to separate ourselves from other animals, often focusing on our ability to use language. Language is great, but we’re just animals after all. We might be able to use language, but images stick in our brains in a totally different, possibly deeper way.
In any case, next time I draw a cartoon of something I’m trying to learn, I’ll feel no shame.
12. What can we know about the benefits of drawing according to the study?
A. They would decrease little by little. B. They were obviously shown on animals.
C. They were obvious only on teenagers. D. They were more noticeable for older people.
13. What does the underlined word “mnemonics” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Changes in memory. B. Memory techniques.
C. Memory improvements. D. Benefits of memory.
14. What does the author think of learning by drawing?
A. It is fun as well as effective. B. It is the best learning method.
C. It should be mixed with singing. D. It is good for our language ability.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To solve a difficult problem. B. To share opinions on drawing.
C. To introduce a learning method. D. To introduce benefits of drawing.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you think about art, you might consider it to be permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. 16 Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live in your memory. But the live show is a special event. It is limited to a certain time and place.
Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to your mind. Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? 17 You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas(画布) where nature erases “paintings” daily.
Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation. 18 A sand animation performer uses sand to create a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.
19 However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.
Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they photograph or video their creation throughout the process. 20
A. It is a type of live performance art.
B. Not all works of art are permanent, though.
C. Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only for the moment.
D. Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.
E. It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make.
F. If you have, you would probably be sad when it was time to leave the beach.
G. Building a sandcastle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups.

(2023-2024学年高二下·福建三明·期末)It was a warm spring afternoon, and the sun cast a golden hue(色调) over the small town of Willow Creek. The city’s annual art exhibition was going on, and the visitors were discussing the works with excitement. Among them was Emily, a talented artist. She appreciated the pictures with her heart pounding in her chest.
Emily had always been passionate about painting since young. Over the years, her talent had bloomed, and her pictures had become a reflection of her soul — full of life and emotion. Each brushstroke(笔画) was a whisper of her thoughts, a secret shared with the world. Today, she exhibited a painting of her grandmother, a woman who had shaped her life with love and care. The painting was a reminder of the impact her grandmother had on her life, a symbol of the bond that would never fade.
As the exhibition continued, Emily watched with nervous anticipation as people moved around the room, admiring various works. Emily searched their faces for a reaction, her heart jumping when she saw a smile or a nod of appreciation. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, “Emily, this is wonderful! Your grandmother looks so alive on this picture.” It was her art teacher, Mr. Smith, standing before her painting with a look of genuine admiration. His words filled her with a sense of achievement and relief.
The rest of the afternoon passed soon. More praises came her way. But it was the elderly man who caught her attention. He stood before her painting for what seemed like a century, his eyes misty with memories. When he finally spoke, his offer took her by surprise. “This painting reminds me so much of my late grandmother. I would like to make you an offer. Would you consider selling this painting to me?”

Scientists have developed a new authentication technique that analyzes and sorts out paintings based on a digital analysis of the artist’s style.
The digital authentication technique takes scans of art work that have already been authenticated as being from a master artist. From these scans, it creates a statistical model of the artist's work: a baseline. New paintings can be compared to the baseline to find consistencies and inconsistencies in an artist’s work. The images of the two paintings reveal what the human eye could not see. When the analysis recognizes this difference, the fakes are found out. In an experiment, the model automatically grouped together the eight authenticated works, separating them from five imitations.
However, some art historians held some different views on the new technique. “It’s an interesting idea. But I think a much larger sample of work has to be tested,” said Nadine Oberstein, head of an art museum in New York. If the technology turns out to be accurate, she added, it could be used to add to the expertise of scholars.
Most importantly, Hany Farid, a computer scientist says, “such a method could be used to determine whether more than one person or hand was involved in creating a painting”. Using his model, Farid studied the faces of six individual characters in the painting Madonna with Child. Three of the faces proved to be statistically similar, while the three other faces were all different. This indicates that at least four hands contributed to the painting. “If further studies prove convincingly that this computer program effectively distinguishes between different artistic hands, it will lead to a whole new era in the study of the workshop practice of artists.” said Farid.
8. Why are scientists developing the new technique?
A. To create digital copies of famous paintings.
B. To improve the process of art authentication.
C. To make displays more interactive for visitors.
D. To replace art historians in authenticating works.
9. How does the digital authentication technique work?
A. By analyzing materials. B. By identifying style patterns.
C. By X-raying a baseline. D. By comparing to a statistical model.
10. What is Nadine’s attitude towards the new technique?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.
11. What can the new technique tell about a painting?
A. The painter of the masterpiece.
B. The materials used in the painting.
C. The time period in which the painting was created.
D. The number of painters involved in creating the painting.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍帮助艺术史学家鉴定画作真伪的数字认证技术。
8. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Art historians, are often asked to authenticate (鉴定) art with their knowledge of the subject and science and technology.(艺术史学家经常被要求用他们的学科知识和科学技术来鉴定艺术)”和“Now, art historians may have another technological tool to help their process. Scientists have developed a new authentication technique that analyzes and sorts out paintings based on a digital analysis of the artist’s style.(现在,艺术史学家可能有另一种技术工具来帮助他们的研究。科学家们开发了一种新的鉴定技术,可以根据对艺术家风格的数字分析来分析和整理画作)”可知,科学家们正在开发新技术来改进艺术品鉴定的过程。故选B。
9. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“New paintings can be compared to the baseline to find consistencies and inconsistencies in an artist’s work. The images of the two paintings reveal what the human eye could not see. When the analysis recognizes this difference, the fakes are found out.(新画可以与基线进行比较,以发现艺术家作品中的一致性和不一致性。这两幅画的图像揭示了人眼无法看到的东西。当分析识别出这种差异时,赝品就被发现了)”可知,数字认证技术通过将作品与基线进行比较来识别赝品。故选D。
10. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It’s an interesting idea. But I think a much larger sample of work has to be tested(这是一个有趣的想法。但我认为,需要测试的作品样本要大得多)”可推知,Nadine对新技术持怀疑态度。故选C。
11. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Most importantly, Hany Farid, a computer scientist says, ‘such a method could be used to determine whether more than one person or hand was involved in creating a painting’.(最重要的是,计算机科学家Hany Farid说,‘这种方法可以用来确定是否有不止一个人或一只手参与了一幅画的创作’)”可知,新技术可以确定参与创作的人数,故选D。
D
(2023-2024学年高二下·甘肃白银·期末)In school, I’d often draw cartoons about what I was learning instead of taking notes. And obviously, I had the right idea all along. A new study found drawing is a good memory technique.
A group of scientists had participants try and memorize the definition of a set of words. They had some participants copy the words and their definitions. They had other participants draw out the meaning of the words. The drawers memorized more words.
“We reasoned that drawing improves memory, at least in part, because it requires elaboration(详述) on the meaning of the term and translating the definition into a picture,” wrote the researchers. What’s more, the scientists found older people were worse than younger people at memorizing when the two wrote out their definitions. But the two groups showed no difference when it came to memorizing from drawing.
I’ve learned many mnemonics in my day. I’ve pictured strange images that relate to the words I’m memorizing, put facts to music and associated words with pieces of furniture. But I’ve never heard of this “drawing effect,” as the researchers put it, though I’ve used it without realizing it.
It makes sense though. Images must be built much deeper into our brains than letters. Image processing took place before writing. Mostly, I’m surprised that many educators haven’t realized that fun learning is better learning. Pictures and songs stick in the brain better than pages of text.
Humans like to separate ourselves from other animals, often focusing on our ability to use language. Language is great, but we’re just animals after all. We might be able to use language, but images stick in our brains in a totally different, possibly deeper way.
In any case, next time I draw a cartoon of something I’m trying to learn, I’ll feel no shame.
12. What can we know about the benefits of drawing according to the study?
A. They would decrease little by little. B. They were obviously shown on animals.
C. They were obvious only on teenagers. D. They were more noticeable for older people.
13. What does the underlined word “mnemonics” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Changes in memory. B. Memory techniques.
C. Memory improvements. D. Benefits of memory.
14. What does the author think of learning by drawing?
A. It is fun as well as effective. B. It is the best learning method.
C. It should be mixed with singing. D. It is good for our language ability.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To solve a difficult problem. B. To share opinions on drawing.
C. To introduce a learning method. D. To introduce benefits of drawing.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了绘画有助于提高学习效率。
12. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“What’s more, the scientists found older people were worse than younger people at memorizing when the two wrote out their definitions. But the two groups showed no difference when it came to memorizing from drawing.(更重要的是,科学家们发现,当老年人写出他们的定义时,他们的记忆力比年轻人差。但两组人在通过绘画记忆方面并没有表现出差异)”可推知,绘画对于提高老年人记忆力的作用更明显。故选D。
13. 词句猜测题。根据下文“I’ve pictured strange images that relate to the words I’m memorizing, put facts to music and associated words with pieces of furniture.(我描绘了与我要记忆的单词相关的奇怪图像,把事实与音乐联系在一起,并把单词与家具联系在一起)”可知,作者学会了许多记忆技巧,比如把要记忆的词与奇怪的图像联系起来,把事实与音乐联系起来,以及把单词与家具联系起来。由此可知,划线词mnemonics指的是记忆技巧,即记忆方法或策略。故选B。
14. 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Mostly, I’m surprised that many educators haven’t realized that fun learning is better learning. Pictures and songs stick in the brain better than pages of text.(最令我惊讶的是,许多教育工作者没有意识到有趣的学习是更好的学习。图片和歌曲比一页一页的文字更容易在大脑中记忆)”和文章第六段“Humans like to separate ourselves from other animals, often focusing on our ability to use language. Language is great, but we’re just animals after all. We might be able to use language, but images stick in our brains in a totally different, possibly deeper way.(人类喜欢将自己与其他动物区分开来,通常专注于我们使用语言的能力。语言是伟大的,但我们毕竟只是动物。我们也许能够使用语言,但图像以一种完全不同的、可能更深刻的方式留在我们的大脑中)”可推知,作者认为学习通过画图既有趣又有效。故选A。
15. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In school, I’d often draw cartoons about what I was learning instead of taking notes. And obviously, I had the right idea all along. A new study found drawing is a good memory technique.(在学校里,我经常把所学的东西画成漫画,而不是记笔记。显然,我的想法一直都是对的。一项新的研究发现,画画是一种很好的记忆技巧)”可推知,文章旨在介绍利用绘画来学习的方法。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you think about art, you might consider it to be permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. 16 Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live in your memory. But the live show is a special event. It is limited to a certain time and place.
Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to your mind. Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? 17 You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas(画布) where nature erases “paintings” daily.
Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation. 18 A sand animation performer uses sand to create a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.
19 However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.
Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they photograph or video their creation throughout the process. 20
A. It is a type of live performance art.
B. Not all works of art are permanent, though.
C. Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only for the moment.
D. Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.
E. It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make.
F. If you have, you would probably be sad when it was time to leave the beach.
G. Building a sandcastle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“沙画”这种艺术形式,介绍了其特点以及制作过程。
16. 上文“When you think about art, you might consider it to be permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. (当你想到艺术时,你可能会认为它是永恒的。毕竟,你在幼儿园画的那幅画可能几年后还会挂在冰箱上)”以及下文“Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live in your memory. (想想百老汇的演出。结束了,就结束了。当然,它可能活在你的记忆里或电影里)”由此可知,下文提到百老汇的演出结束了就是结束了,只能存在于记忆中,说明本句与上文形成转折,说明并不是所有的艺术作品都是永久的,B选项“然而,并非所有的艺术作品都是永恒的。”切合语境。故选B项。
17. 上文“Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? (你曾经花数小时建造过美丽的沙堡吗?)”对应选项F中的“If you have”,下文“You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. (你知道你的艺术品一旦涨潮就会消失)”对应选项F中的“you would probably be sad when it was time to leave the beach”,F选项“如果你有,当离开海滩的时候,你可能会很难过。”切合语境,表明你会因美丽的沙堡被潮水毁掉而难过。故选F项。
18. 上文“One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation. (最吸引人的一种沙子艺术是沙子动画)”可知,选项A中的it是指沙画,根据下文“A sand animation performer uses sand to create a set of images that usually tell a story. (沙子动画表演者使用沙来创建一组通常讲述故事的图像)”可知,沙画一种现场表演艺术,A选项“这是一种现场表演艺术。”切合语境。故选A项。
19. 下文“However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. (然而,各种各样的美丽和高度细致的沙子艺术品可能会让你惊讶)”可知,本句与下文形成转折,提出沙子看起来可能会限制艺术创作,实际上沙子艺术品非常多样化,E选项“使用沙子似乎会限制你所能创作的艺术。”切合语境。故选E项。
20. 上文“Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they photograph or video their creation throughout the process. (沙画艺术家创造了一系列移动的图像来讲述一个故事。他们还可以使用音乐和特殊的灯光来完成效果。有时他们会在整个过程中拍摄或录像他们的创作)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,对上文进行总结,上文提到拍摄沙画的制作过程,故本句应当是说明拍摄完成后,就成了一部沙画电影,D选项“然后,当它完成时,他们把它变成了一部沙画电影。”切合语境。故选D项。

(2023-2024学年高二下·福建三明·期末)It was a warm spring afternoon, and the sun cast a golden hue(色调) over the small town of Willow Creek. The city’s annual art exhibition was going on, and the visitors were discussing the works with excitement. Among them was Emily, a talented artist. She appreciated the pictures with her heart pounding in her chest.
Emily had always been passionate about painting since young. Over the years, her talent had bloomed, and her pictures had become a reflection of her soul — full of life and emotion. Each brushstroke(笔画) was a whisper of her thoughts, a secret shared with the world. Today, she exhibited a painting of her grandmother, a woman who had shaped her life with love and care. The painting was a reminder of the impact her grandmother had on her life, a symbol of the bond that would never fade.
As the exhibition continued, Emily watched with nervous anticipation as people moved around the room, admiring various works. Emily searched their faces for a reaction, her heart jumping when she saw a smile or a nod of appreciation. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, “Emily, this is wonderful! Your grandmother looks so alive on this picture.” It was her art teacher, Mr. Smith, standing before her painting with a look of genuine admiration. His words filled her with a sense of achievement and relief.
The rest of the afternoon passed soon. More praises came her way. But it was the elderly man who caught her attention. He stood before her painting for what seemed like a century, his eyes misty with memories. When he finally spoke, his offer took her by surprise. “This painting reminds me so much of my late grandmother. I would like to make you an offer. Would you consider selling this painting to me?”

【答案】
At that moment, Emily hesitated. What should she do? She couldn’t imagine parting with the painting that held so many precious memories of her grandma. However, the thought of the old man’s sense of loss also upset her. Emily stood there, her gaze fixed on her painting. She recalled her grandmother’s warm smile and the love she had shown to her throughout her life. After a while, she turned to the old man, “I... I’m sorry,” she stammered, “I’m afraid I could not offer it to you.” The man nodded his head, forcing a smile and walked out of the exhibition room, a sense of loss spreading across his face.
Seeing the man leaving disappointedly, Emily made a new decision. She took down the picture, ran to the elderly man and spoke to him, “I’ve decided to offer you the painting.” Hearing the words, the man’s eyes widened with astonishment, “You mean it?” he asked, his voice trembling with emotion. Emily nodded her head firmly. Tears running down his face, the man reached out and took Emily’s hand tightly. “Thank you. This means the world to me.” Emily smiled, her heart filled with joy. It dawned on her that art not only has the power to create beauty but also conveys emotions and builds connections.
