Handstitched Worlds: The Cartography of Quilts is an invitation to read quilts as maps, tracing the paths of individual histories that illuminate larger historic events and cultural trends. Spanning the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, this insightful and engaging exhibition brings together 18 quilts from the collection of the American Folk Art Museum, New York, representing a range of materials, motifs, and techniques from traditional early-American quilts to more contemporary sculptural assemblages. The quilts in Handstitched Worlds show us how this too-often overlooked medium balances creativity with tradition, individuality with collective zeitgeist. Like a road map, these unique works offer a path to a deeper understanding of the American cultural fabric.

A. exhibitors B. visitors C. artists D. historians B Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late. Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled. Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 4. Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah? A. To record his growth. B. To celebrate his birth. C. To test their digital camera. D. To collect evidence of eye diseases. 5. Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3? A. Terrified. B. Regretful. C. Lonely. D. Exhausted. 6. What can the app do to help? A. It serves as a detector. B. It presents expert advice. C. It saves photos on users’ phones. D. It provides a worldwide database. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. How a boy lost his eye. B. How a new app works. C. How a father saved his son. D. How an app came into being. C Scientists tested the effects. of new PVC pellets (聚氯乙烯颗粒) on the development of seven species, spanning all major groups of marine animals. They found exposure to high concentrations of PVC pellets prevented healthy development in all seven species. The study, by an international team led by the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn di Napoli (SZN) and the University of Exeter, highlights the “potentially catastrophic effects” of rising levels of plastic in the ocean. “When exposed to high levels of new PVC pellets, the species we examined went wrong in different ways,” said the first author Dr. Jimenez-Guri. “Some failed to make a shell; some failed to form proper bilateral (两侧的) features; some just stopped developing after a few rounds of cell division. They all failed to make a viable embryo (胚胎).” The study also examined the bad effects of plastic samples recovered from beaches. While the effects were not as widespread as those of new PVC pellets, high concentrations were found to affect the development of mollusks (软体动物), including sea urchins, sea stars and sea squirts. Coasts and rivers are known hot spots for plastic pollution. As the species in the study all live in coastal areas, severe pollution could have a major impact. “If you have extreme pollution at a time when these species are reproducing, then you don’t have the next generation of those species,” said Dr. Jimenez-Guri. Explaining how plastics cause developmental abnormalities, Dr. Jimenez-Guri said plastics contain a complex variety of potentially harmful components including zinc, which are slowly released once plastic is in the water. She added, “If we reach these extreme levels of plastic pollution at our coasts, which happens in isolated cases but is thankfully uncommon at present, many species may become unable to reproduce, with massive impacts on marine life, the wider environment and people. We need urgent action to reduce the amount of plastic entering the ocean.” 8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To describe the methods used in the study. C. To present the findings of different studies. D. To highlight the positive effects of PVC pellets. 9. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Terrible. B. Formal. C. Creative. D. Isolated. 10. What is Dr. Jimenez-Guri’s attitude towards the situation of marine life? A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Role Of PVC Pellets In Marine Ecosystems B. The Importance Of Coastal Areas For Marine Life C. The Future Of Marine Life Under Plastic Pollution D. The Serious Impact Of PVC Pellets On Marine Life D John Dryden, an English poet who died in 1700, once said, “Wealthy families can rarely continue to be rich for three generations.” In 19th- century America, successful families were also said to “go from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves” in that length of time. In Asia, there is an identical saying that family wealth could not pass three generations. As a rising share of the world’s wealthiest comes from Asia, the three-generation hypothesis (假想) is being tested once again. Overall, the results of the three-generation test so far look encouraging for Asia’s wealthiest families. What has helped the wealthiest families to survive the test is the education that the younger generations have received. While many of their grandparents and parents never completed university, most of them have attended the best-known universities abroad, often in America. As a result, they are far worldlier than their elders, who built their fortunes on local businesses in periods of rapid economic development. John Riady, the child of an Indonesian family that owns Lippo Karawaci, attended Georgetown University, before earning an MBA at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a law degree from Columbia University. Isha Ambani, daughter of Mukesh Ambani, graduated from Yale and then Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business in 2018. At the same time, they are more sharply aware of their responsibility to avoid one of the traditional traps: putting relationship before anything else. Instead, after they take charge of the businesses, they usually try to establish rules and regulations in their family businesses in order to keep generating wealth over centuries. In many developing countries, dealing with interest groups and local authorities remains an important part of doing business. It can ensure access to big contracts. However, American business schools do not teach them such skills. To preserve their family businesses, they have to learn a thing or two from their elders. 12. What do “shirtsleeves” most probably stand for in the first paragraph? A. Being poor. B. Being generous. C. Being stupid. D. Being lazy. 13. What does the author say about the richest younger generations in Asia? A. They are much wiser. B. They are more responsible. C. They are better educated. D. They are more experienced. 14. What do the younger leaders of the big family businesses stress? A. Western education. B. Social connection. C. Close relationship. D. Professional management. 15. What does the author advise the children of the wealthiest families to do? A. Get big contracts with dirty tricks. B. Learn from their grandparents and parents. C. Stay away from the powerful interest groups. D. Establish rules and regulations in their businesses. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Development of Self-Concept Self-concept begins to develop in early childhood. ____16____.

She’d dreamed of winning the yearly Dog Sled Championships Race. “Which pups will you choose?” Susie’s mother asked. “I think I’ll just choose three of four Aurora’s pups,” Susie said, but she knew that only three of these little puppies would make it to the big race. Although Aurora’s pups were only four weeks old, Susie already saw differences among them. Pluto was naughty, while Sunshine was shy, and Foxy was a tease. Fudge was the most responsive to her. Actually. Fudge was the smallest one. “Will you be my lead dog someday when your mother Aurora is old?” Susie said, holding Fudge’s tiny face to hers. “He’s awfully small,” Susie’s mother said. His brothers and sisters were already twice his size. “He’ll grow fast,” Susie said. “I’ll train him right along with the others.” Training puppies was a family affair. Susie’s mother and father raised thirteen strong dogs. Susie planned to make her best team this time. Susie trained each of them for their roles. Aurora was surely the leader of her four-dog team. As for Fudge, Susie would also give Fudge a small branch when she often let team dogs pull branches as a kind of training. He kept pulling it even when the other pups knocked him over. He kept working at tasks that Susie gave him, no matter how tired he got. Susie loved him for trying so hard. When spring snow melted into summer, Susie ran her pups through flowered fields and wooded hills to keep them in shape. She felt delighted when Aurora proved to be a good leader and the team did well. Unexpectedly, Fudge got the summer growth that she hadn’t counted on. Though not officially belonging to the team, every practice, Fudge did his best beyond Susie had imagined. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Unfortunately, when the race day arrived, Aurora got sick. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The race began, and Fudge set a fast but steady pace. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024——2025高三上期期中试卷 英语试题 时间100分钟 总分120分 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

She looked at Fudge, who seemed eager to take on the challenge. Susie decided to give Fudge a chance and let him lead the team. She hoped that Fudge could prove himself and lead the team to victory. The race began, and Fudge set a fast but steady pace. The other dogs followed him closely, and the team worked together smoothly. Fudge was determined and focused, and he led the team through the difficult terrain. Susie was proud of Fudge’s performance and cheered him on. As the race progressed, the team gained momentum and started to overtake other teams. In the end, they crossed the finish line and won the race. Susie was overjoyed and hugged Fudge tightly. She knew that Fudge had exceeded her expectations and proved that size didn’t matter. From then on, Fudge became the star of the team. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
