Art,as a form of therapy(),was first developed in the 20th century and has gained in popularity in recent years.Self-expression through artistic creation has treated value for those who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves. From my own personal experience,art and creativity has been one of the few things that I can use to adjust and describe my inner most feelings.It was invaluable to have a space where I could lose myself even for just a moment in the brushstrokes (or pencil lines of whatever I was creating.Growing up,it was one of the only spaces where I could actually express my own emotions.Now,even though art is my job,I still use it to quite my mind and express myself. According to the British Association of Art Therapists,art can be used as a mode of expression and communication.It is not necessary to have any prior experience in art because art is being used as a medium for curing and is not the main focus.Art therapy can treat people from all age groups,from children to the elderly.In addition,it can cure various psychological problems,including emotional or behavioral problems,learning or physical difficulties and so on. It is important to bear in mind that while current research does illustrate that art therapy improves mental health,these studies has a small number of people in them.Therefore,the conclusion cannot be considered definitive.More research is needed to find conclusive evidence of the impact of art therapy on mental health. 24.How does art influence the author? A.It greatly inspires creativity B.It brings spiritual comfort. C.It enhances work efficiency. D.It improves life quality 25.What can we know about art therapy according to paragraph 3?

A.Art:A Wonderful Job Trend B.Exploring the World of Art. C.Art:A New Way of Treatment D.Spreading Art to People. Twice a year for the last 29 years,scientists have walked through the same sections of tallgrass prairie (in Kansas and recorded as many species as they could find.The goal was to determine the impact of American bison on the ecosystem.Tallgrass prairies used to cover a huge part of Texas.Today this habitat is at risk of disappearing,present in just four percent of its former range. Now,decades of efforts and data show a surprising result:When bison were allowed to seek food through prairie,they increased plant species richness by 86 percent."The big effect bison had knocked us out,"says Zak Ratajczak,an ecologist at Kansas State University."I don't think anyone would have prognosticated this ahead of time."252 earlier similar studies worldwide showed bison's effects were relatively slight. As for reasons,Ratajczak has some theories.Bison tend to choose one area,eating everything up there,while leaving another area of the prairie untouched.They also go around forming disturbances in the soil,forming holes.These are areas where they roll around and shake off their winter coats,and that creates little spots of unique types of soil features.The spots harden and collect water after rain,for example,creating wetlands,which allow more plants to grow.By promoting different types of plant growth,scientists believe bison could help their ecosystems become more adaptable to droughts. Millions of bison lived in the US in the mid 1800s,before the government killed the population,reducing their numbers to a few hundred by 1889.The findings suggest ongoing efforts to reintroduce bison could have enormous and long-term benefits."That is a relationship that was cut off,"says Jason Baldes,a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe."As we restore this connection,it favors bison.And bison,by their presence,boost our land." 英语试卷第6页（共12页） 28.What was the purpose of scientists walking through the same sections of tallgrass prairie in Kansas? A.To seek greater biodiversity. B.To record many species as they could find. C.To research the reason why this habitat is at risk. D.To identify the influence of bison on the ecosystem. 29.What does the underlined word"prognosticated"mean in paragraph 2? A.Considered. B.Accepted. C.Predicted. D.Ignored. 30.How do bison promote plant species richness? A.By keeping away from prairies. B.By changing soil characteristics. C.By providing food and habits. D.By helping plants survive droughts. 31.What does Baldes think of the reintroduction of bison? A.It is a win-win situation. B.It should be done long ago. C.It has a long-lasting benefit. D.It requires efforts from many sides. D For using silk design to extend the shelf-lives of main food like leafy greens and meat,and to improve crop seeding and growth,Benedetto Marelli is the winner of the first Bio Innovation Institute Science Prize for Innovation.Marelli's lab has produced a food security-enhancing technology from his silk-based materials. Sustainably feeding the world is an increasing challenge given factors like a rising population and climate change;novel technologies will be crucial to maintaining food security. Even though the development of biomaterials like silk could do much to settle related crises in food availability,their applications in agricultural products have been largely overlooked. "The research focus of my lab aims to expand the current perception and scope of biomaterials by demonstrating how they can be engineered to combine with food and plants,to ultimately boost food security,"said Marelli,associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.In his early research,Marelli had considered the need to apply sustainable biomaterials technology to address decreasing food resources. In an experiment,Marelli left the strawberries in the lab for days.Upon returning a week later,he was surprised to find that the non-silk treated strawberries had spoiled while the coated, silk-treated ones had not.It gave him the vision to explore other links between sustainable materials and create new technologies to extend the food life cycle. 英语试卷第7页（共12页） Marelli subsequently co-founded the company Mori,which has developed a silk-based food preservation technology.Mori's silk-based solution for foods creates an all-natural protective layer that doubles a product's shelf life and reduces plastic use when shipping."Mori's technology may provide an important step in reducing the carbon footprint of our food system by reducing both food and packaging waste,ultimately translating to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a lower impact on natural resources,"Marelli explained. 32.What do we know about Marelli from Paragraph 1? A.He built a plant to make silk. B.He advocated eating safe food. C.He invented an eatable plant. D.He won a prize for his invention. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The review of previous/studies. B.The concerns of some scientists. C.The necessity of studying biomaterials. D.The applications of new materials. 34.What inspired Marelli to explore the silk-based technology? A.An academic conference. B.A food waste survey. C.An unexpected experimental discovery. D.A plant observation diary. 35.What is a major advantage of Mori's silk-based solution for foods? A.High-quality. B.Eco-friendly. C.Affordable. D.Convenient. 第二节根据短文内容，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。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） When you think of creativity,you might picture an artist at work on a big project.Perhaps you imagine someone spending hours painting a canvas,crafting a beautiful pot out of clay or composing a powerful piece of poetry.These can all be worthwhile and enjoyable pursuits. 36 And they are no less valuable.Here's how to weave more of them into your day.

I’m excited to talk about the fun activities at my school, especially the fitness classes.[17] I’ve tried many, but the dance classes are my favorites.They’re free and take place every week. We do different styles like cycling, Zumba, and yoga.I started dance classes in my first year and just fell in love. The classes last 45 minutes with easy, repeatable dances. They’re so much fun and help me relax.[18]① This love for dance made me think, why not teach it? So, I joined a training program to learn how to be a fitness instructor. [19] We learned about planning classes, first aid, and using equipment. We also got to practice teaching a lot. It was hard but really enjoyable. On the first day of training, we talked about why we joined. Many said it helps with school stress, or they just love fitness classes. [18]② It’s great to be part of this community, sharing my love for fitness and helping others have fun and relax just like I do. 答案解析： 阅读理解 A 〖解题导语〗本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍德瑞国际学校不同课外活动，内容主要包括探索周、艺术、体育 和领导力与服务四大类课外活动的丰富选择、培养目标、录取条件、收费类型等信息。 21．B 细节理解题。比较每类活动中的 Educational Objectives (教育目标)可知，DISCOVERYWEEK注重培 养学生“life skills such as teamwork, organization, and independence (生存技能，如团队精神、组织能力和独立 能力)”；SPORTS注重培养学生 confidence, team spirit, concentration and perseverance (自信、团队精神、专 注力和毅力)”，DISCOVERYWEEK 和 SPORTS的目标有提高团队精神。故选 B。 22．B 细节理解题。根据文章 ARTS 部分“Students can discover their passions in order to develop a deeper aesthetic (美学的) appreciation and gain a greater understanding of their cultural significance. (学生可以通过上述 艺术活动发现自己真正的热爱所在，从而更加深入发展美学欣赏能力并进一步理解文化重要性。)”可知， 发现自己真正的热爱，才能更进一步理解文化的重要性。故选 B。 23．C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Our after- school programmes include both chargeable overseas activities (OAs) and non-chargeable afternoon activities (AAs). (课后项目分为收费的海外活动和不收费的午后活动。)” 可知，A选项所有活动都高收费是错误的。根据每类活动的 Admissions Condition (录取条件)可知，SPORTS 活动“students of all skill levels without chronic diseases (有无基础均可，但不能有基础性慢性疾病)”，因此， B 选项所有活动都需要有经验的参与者是错误的。根据文章第一段第一句话“German Swiss International School (GSIS) has established itself as a top international school in Hong Kong, providing a diverse range of clubs and activities to enable our students to acquire new skills, explore new areas of interest, and develop their talents.(德 7 瑞国际学校(GSIS)已成为香港顶尖的国际学校，提供各种各样的俱乐部和活动，使我们的学生获得新的技能， 探索新的兴趣领域，并发展他们的才能。)”可知，所有活动的组织者都是 German Swiss International School (GSIS) (德瑞国际学校)，所以 C 选项正确。根据文章第二段第一句话 During one week in the Autumn term 可 知，只有 DISCOVERYWEEK明确表述在秋季学期，其他活动均未提及学期季节，因此 D选项错误。故选 C。 B 〖解题导语〗本文是说明文。主题语境：人与自我 文章主要介绍了艺术创作对于人的病痛和心理有疗愈功 能。文章旨在拓宽学生文化视野，鼓励学生进行艺术创作。 24. B 理解具体信息题。根据第二段可知，作者认为艺术能够让他表达自己的感受，并且可以用来平静心情。 由此推知，艺术能够让作者带来精神上的安慰。故选 B。 25. A 理解具体信息题。根据第三段倒数第二句“Art therapy can treat people from all age groups,from children to the elderly。”可知，艺术疗法可以广泛应用不同年龄段。故选 A。 26. D 推断题。根据文章最后一段最后两句“Therefore, the conclusion cannot be considered definitive. More research is needed to find conclusive(确凿的)evidence of the impact of art therapy on mental health.”可知，艺术疗 法的作用的结论仍不确定，还需要更深入的研究。故选 D。 27. C 理解主旨要义题。我们可以梳理段落大意，归纳文章主旨，继而概括出标题。第一段：艺术疗法的背 景介绍。第二至第三段：介绍艺术疗法的功能。第四段：说明艺术疗法仍需要进一步研究。故本文主要讲了 艺术疗法作为一种新的治疗方式对人的积极影响。C项“艺术：一种新的治疗方式”呼应了文章主旨内容。故 选 C。 C 〖解题导语〗本文是说明文。主题语境:人与自然::科学家们发现引入野牛可以增加濒危的北美大草原的生物 多样性，提升大草原的抗旱能力。 28. D 理解具体信息题。根据第一段中的“The goal was to determine the impact of American bison(野牛)on the ecosystem. ”可知，科学家们每年两次走堪萨斯州高原草原的同一部分是为了确定美洲野牛对生态系统的影响。 故选 D。 29. C 理解词汇题。根据画线词前"The big effect bison had knocked us out"和画线词后的"252 earlier similar studies worldwide showed bison's effects were relatively slight"可知，野牛的影响让科学家们震惊，之前有 252 相类似的研究表明野牛的影响是相对较小的。由此可知，科学家们应是没有预料到这一结果。predict“预言， 预料，预测”。故选 C。 30. B 理解具体信息题。根据第三段中的"They also go around forming disturbances in the soil...The spots harden and collect water after rain,for example, creating wetlands, which allow more plants to grow”可知，野牛会在土壤 留下小坑，它们在小坑里四处翻滚并甩掉冬天的毛，由此产生具有独特土壤特征的区域，这些区域在雨后硬 化并收集水分，形成湿地，使更多植物得以生长，增加了生物多样性。故选 B。 31. A 推断题。根据最后一段中的“As we restore this connection, it favors bison. And bison, by their presence, boost our land."可知，Baldes认为，当我们恢复与野牛的联系时，这对野牛有利，而野牛的存在也改善我们 的土地。由此推知，重新引进野牛是一件双赢的事。故选 A。 D 〖解题导语〗本文是说明文。主题语境：人与社会----科学与技术----真丝薄膜保鲜技术。文章主要介绍了科 学家 Benedetto Marelli 利用真丝薄膜开发了一种食品保鲜技术，可以保证食物的新鲜。文章旨在激发学生对 8 科技创新的兴趣，引导学生积极参与环保行动。 32. D 理解具体信息题。根据第一段第一句“Benedetto Marelli is the winner of the first BioInnovation Institute & Science Prize for Innovation.”可知，Benedetto Marelli 是第一届生物创新研究所和科学创新奖的获得者。故选 D。 33. C 归纳段落大意题。通过文章第三段可知，前半段主要表达了像真丝这样的生物材料，在农产品中的应 用被忽视；后半段提到Marelli的研究重点是将生物材料与食物、植物结合，从而扩大目前对生物材料的认 识和范围，最终提高食品安全。而在他早期研究中，他认为有必要用可持续的生物材料技术来解决食物资源 减少的问题。由此可推知，本段主要介绍了研究生物材料的必要性。故选 C。 34. C 推断题。根据第四段第一句及第二句可知，在一次实验中，Marelli把草莓遗留在实验室。几天后，他 惊讶地发现非真丝处理过的草莓变质了，而真丝处理过的草莓没有变质。由此可知，是一次意想不到的实验 发现激发了Marelli探索基于真丝的新技术。故选 C。 35. B 推断题。根据最后一段第二句“Mori’s silk-based solution for foods creates an all-natural protective layer ” 和“reduces plastic use when shipping”和第三句中的“Mori’s technology may provide ....resources,”可知，真丝保 险膜能减少运输时的塑料使用，且通过食品和包装废弃物，为减少食品系统的碳足迹迈出重要的一步，最终 降低温室气体排放，同时对自然资源产生更低的影响。由此可推知，以真丝为基础的技术非常环保。故选 B。 七选五 〖解题导语〗本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日常生活中可以培养创造力的小活动。 36．G 前文“When you think of creativity, you might picture an artist at work on a big project. Perhaps you imagine someone spending hours painting a canvas, crafting a beautiful pot out of clay or composing a powerful piece of poetry. These can all be worthwhile and enjoyable pursuits. (当你想到创造力时，你可能会想到一个艺术家在做 一个大项目。也许你会想象有人花几个小时在画布上作画，用粘土制作一个美丽的罐子，或者写一首有力的 诗。这些都是值得的和令人愉快的追求)”提到一些常见的被认为是具有创造力的活动，后文“And they are no less valuable. (它们同样有价值)”提到某些事物同样有价值，因此 G项“However, there are many minor creative activities that easily go unrecognized.

(你可以随时添加更多 的食材，让它成为你自己的)”符合语境，指出可以在他人的食谱的基础上添加自己的创意，承接前文。故选 9 F。 40．A空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，根据后 文“It’s probably best to start with items of clothing that you don’t wear anymore, so dig out your old T-shirt and turn it into something new that suits your preferences. (也许最好从你不再穿的衣服开始，所以把你的旧 T恤翻出来， 变成符合你喜好的新衣服 )”和“Use fabric pens to draw designs or embroider (刺绣 ) a pattern with coloured threads on your old clothes (用织物笔在旧衣服上画图案或用彩色线绣出图案)”可知，本段主要建议用旧衣服制 作出新衣服，因此 A项“Tailor your clothing.
