After an ambitious $1.5 billion clean-up project, the Seine River will play a leading role in both the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Paris’s famous urban river will serve as the stage for the Olympic opening ceremony and, if all goes to plan, as a venue for three swimming events.
What was once a portal to pleasure — Parisians sunbathing and splashing in the river, modeling bikinis in the Seine-fed Deligny pool — has been banned for more than a century because of river traffic and pollution. But that’s set to change.
To demonstrate the river’s safety, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo swam in the river on July 17, ahead of the games. A plunge at the end of June was rescheduled to accommodate elections, Hidalgo said in a press conference. And tests later that month had shown that the river still contained unsafe levels of bacteria, making the mayor’s swim a potential health risk. But organizers remain hopeful the river will stay safe enough for the Olympics to debut a new era for the historic river.
“Our objective is an Olympic legacy,” says Pierre Rabadan, the deputy mayor in charge of sport, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the Seine. “That you and me or whoever happens to be in Paris can swim in the Seine.”
For centuries, the Seine has been a dumping ground for laundry suds, human waste, and animal parts tossed by medieval butchers.
In the 19th century, factory and human wastewater was often discharged directly into the Seine. A revolutionary new Paris sewer system, developed during city planner Baron Haussmann’s seismic urban renewal project throughout the second half of the 19th century was an engineering triumph for Paris, yet toxic for the Seine’s health.
4. What is the Seine River expected to host during the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games?
A. Opening ceremony and three swimming events. B. Cycling events and a marathon.
C. Archery and fencing events. D. Basketball and volleyball matches.
5. Why was the Seine River off-limits for swimming for over a century?
A. Due to frequent floods. B. Due to pollution and river traffic.
C. Due to strong currents. D. Due to ice and snow.
6. What action did Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo take to demonstrate the safety of the Seine River?
A. Held a press conference about the river’s safety. B. Swam in the river on July 17.
C. Conducted a survey of river cleanliness. D. Organized a public event on the river.
7. What historical issue has affected the Seine River’s health?
A. Frequent droughts. B. Sand mining.
C. Overfishing. D. Wastewater discharge.
C
As much as we like to think about nature embodying balance the universe is actually filled with imbalance, too. Let’s take the supernova (超新星) for example. Two stars orbit each other. One of the stars is older, called a “white dwarf,” while the other star is a bit younger. Their mutual gravitational interaction (相互引力相互作用) pulls material off the younger star and dumps it onto the surface of the white dwarf. If enough material falls onto the dwarf, the stuff dumped on to the white dwarf begins to “burn”.
If the conditions are right, you always burn up the same amount of material that gets added. If the donor star is dumping too much material onto the dwarf, the burning runs out of control. It consumes not just the new material on the white dwarf’s surface but the whole of the dwarf star itself. So much energy is released so quickly that the star finds itself wildly out of balance. In an instant, it becomes a super-hot ball of unbalanced pressure, BOOM! A supernova is born.
Closer to home, a similar but different kind of process happens in volcanoes. Volcanoes are born when magma (熔岩) from deep in the Earth makes its way slowly to the surface through cracks in the planet’s crust (地壳). The heat from the magma builds up a massive pressure imbalance inside the mountain. It’s that imbalance that drives the BOOM, the volcanic eruption that rips a zillion tons of rocks away and sends ash 15 miles into the sky.
But here’s the thing: Supernova, volcanoes and all those other explosions in the universe are not just awesome sights. They are all essential players in cosmic (宇宙的) evolution. Supernova create a lot of the elements in your body that are essential to life. No supernova, no you. And volcanoes are essential to evolution of the planet, including the cycling of greenhouse gases like CO2 that make Earth habitable. No volcanoes, no you.
8. What does the underlined phrase “the donor star” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. The younger star. B. The older star.
C. The supernova. D. The white dwarf.
9 What factor leads to both the birth of supernovas and volcanic eruption?
A. Hot magma. B. Burning material.
C. Unbalanced pressure. D. Gravitational interaction.
10. What can we learn about the explosions in the universe in the last paragraph?
A. They evolve as players. B. They create human bodies.
C. They are awesome sights. D. They are necessary to life.
11. In which section of a website can you find this passage?
A. Profile. B. Science. C. Health. D. Economy.
D
At Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. , 16-year-old Sage Waite is already taking a class in cybersecurity, and she’d welcome one that’s in the works on cyber disinformation.
“For the longest time, I didn’t actually know what disinformation was,” said Waite, who’s in the 11th grade. “There was always the idea that things could be wrong in what you’re hearing and what you’re being told. But the idea of misinformation and disinformation wasn’t in my day-to-day.” This past year, she says, has been an eye-opener. “My friends and I definitely started looking into stuff more and doing more research after that,” she said.
A new program on “digital literacy,” with a focus on topics like disinformation, is in the pipeline, thanks in part to Mike McConnell, who is now working to fight false information aimed at young people. “We need to understand this so we can appreciate what's happening to us, and be able to not only understand it, but also to navigate through it,” McConnell said. “That’s what I call digital literacy.”
McConnell is executive director of Cyber Florida, which is based at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The group works with kids throughout the state at universities, high schools, and even those in younger grades. Cyber Florida helped set up the cybersecurity program now being taught at many Florida schools. The new project, Cyber Citizenship, is even more ambitious. “We think if we can do this for Florida, we can spread it across the nation,” he said.
The expanded program now in the works aims to make digital literacy something all Florida students get, at several grade levels, before they finish high school.
There’s no date yet for the cyber disinformation classes in Florida, but computer teacher Jason Felt says it can’t come soon enough and he is ready to embrace it.
“The Internet is a wonderful tool. It’s connected us in a way that’s never really been seen before. But it’s a blessing and it’s also a curse.”
Teaching students the difference, he says, is a huge challenge.
12. What can we learn about the class that Sage Waite is taking from the first two paragraphs?
A. It receives a cold welcome. B. It aims to form a bond.
C It focuses on technologies. D. It has a positive impact.
13. What is digital literacy according to MeConnell?
A. The specific strategies for protecting privacy. B. The inborn capacity to track fake information.
C. The general skills of maintaining cybersecurity. D. The overall ability to handle online information.
14. What is the vision of Cyber Citizenship?
A. To outperform Cybersecuritiy. B. To take the lead in the world.
C. To reach a wider range of students. D. To make a substantial profit.
15. What is Jason Felt’s attitude towards the cyber disinformation classes?
A Welcoming. B. Unclear. C. Opposed. D. Prejudiced.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This Friday brought a mix of emotions—both excitement and disappointment — all because of a flyer from school. When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?”
“A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.”
“Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.
I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up.
As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall.
“You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After an ambitious $1.5 billion clean-up project, the Seine River will play a leading role in both the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Paris’s famous urban river will serve as the stage for the Olympic opening ceremony and, if all goes to plan, as a venue for three swimming events.
What was once a portal to pleasure — Parisians sunbathing and splashing in the river, modeling bikinis in the Seine-fed Deligny pool — has been banned for more than a century because of river traffic and pollution. But that’s set to change.
To demonstrate the river’s safety, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo swam in the river on July 17, ahead of the games. A plunge at the end of June was rescheduled to accommodate elections, Hidalgo said in a press conference. And tests later that month had shown that the river still contained unsafe levels of bacteria, making the mayor’s swim a potential health risk. But organizers remain hopeful the river will stay safe enough for the Olympics to debut a new era for the historic river.
“Our objective is an Olympic legacy,” says Pierre Rabadan, the deputy mayor in charge of sport, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the Seine. “That you and me or whoever happens to be in Paris can swim in the Seine.”
For centuries, the Seine has been a dumping ground for laundry suds, human waste, and animal parts tossed by medieval butchers.
In the 19th century, factory and human wastewater was often discharged directly into the Seine. A revolutionary new Paris sewer system, developed during city planner Baron Haussmann’s seismic urban renewal project throughout the second half of the 19th century was an engineering triumph for Paris, yet toxic for the Seine’s health.
4. What is the Seine River expected to host during the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games?
A. Opening ceremony and three swimming events. B. Cycling events and a marathon.
C. Archery and fencing events. D. Basketball and volleyball matches.
5. Why was the Seine River off-limits for swimming for over a century?
A. Due to frequent floods. B. Due to pollution and river traffic.
C. Due to strong currents. D. Due to ice and snow.
6. What action did Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo take to demonstrate the safety of the Seine River?
A. Held a press conference about the river’s safety. B. Swam in the river on July 17.
C. Conducted a survey of river cleanliness. D. Organized a public event on the river.
7. What historical issue has affected the Seine River’s health?
A. Frequent droughts. B. Sand mining.
C. Overfishing. D. Wastewater discharge.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D

As much as we like to think about nature embodying balance, the universe is actually filled with imbalance, too. Let’s take the supernova (超新星) for example. Two stars orbit each other. One of the stars is older, called a “white dwarf,” while the other star is a bit younger. Their mutual gravitational interaction (相互引力相互作用) pulls material off the younger star and dumps it onto the surface of the white dwarf. If enough material falls onto the dwarf, the stuff dumped on to the white dwarf begins to “burn”.
If the conditions are right, you always burn up the same amount of material that gets added. If the donor star is dumping too much material onto the dwarf, the burning runs out of control. It consumes not just the new material on the white dwarf’s surface but the whole of the dwarf star itself. So much energy is released so quickly that the star finds itself wildly out of balance. In an instant, it becomes a super-hot ball of unbalanced pressure, BOOM! A supernova is born.
Closer to home, a similar but different kind of process happens in volcanoes. Volcanoes are born when magma (熔岩) from deep in the Earth makes its way slowly to the surface through cracks in the planet’s crust (地壳). The heat from the magma builds up a massive pressure imbalance inside the mountain. It’s that imbalance that drives the BOOM, the volcanic eruption that rips a zillion tons of rocks away and sends ash 15 miles into the sky.
But here’s the thing: Supernova, volcanoes and all those other explosions in the universe are not just awesome sights. They are all essential players in cosmic (宇宙的) evolution. Supernova create a lot of the elements in your body that are essential to life. No supernova, no you. And volcanoes are essential to evolution of the planet, including the cycling of greenhouse gases like CO2 that make Earth habitable. No volcanoes, no you.
8. What does the underlined phrase “the donor star” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. The younger star. B. The older star.
C. The supernova. D. The white dwarf.
9. What factor leads to both the birth of supernovas and volcanic eruption?
A. Hot magma. B. Burning material.
C. Unbalanced pressure. D. Gravitational interaction.
10. What can we learn about the explosions in the universe in the last paragraph?
A. They evolve as players. B. They create human bodies.
C. They are awesome sights. D. They are necessary to life.
11. In which section of a website can you find this passage?
A. Profile. B. Science. C. Health. D. Economy.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要以超新星的诞生和火山爆发为例介绍了宇宙中不平衡的现象,这些爆炸不仅是令人敬畏的景象,也是宇宙进化的重要参与者,是生命所必需的。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“One of the stars is older, called a “white dwarf,” while the other star is a bit younger. Their mutual gravitational interaction (相互引力相互作用) pulls material off the younger star and dumps it onto the surface of the white dwarf. (其中一颗恒星较老,被称为“白矮星”,而另一颗恒星稍年轻一些。它们的相互引力作用将物质从年轻的恒星上拉下来,并将其倾倒到白矮星的表面)”可知,稍年轻一些的恒星上的物质会因为相互引力作用而被倾倒在白矮星的表面上,再结合画线词所在句“If the donor star is dumping too much material onto the dwarf (如果供体恒星向矮星上倾倒了太多的物质)”可知,此处的the donor star“供体恒星”指的是上文提到的稍年轻一些的恒星。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“So much energy is released so quickly that the star finds itself wildly out of balance. In an instant, it becomes a super-hot ball of unbalanced pressure, BOOM! A supernova is born. (如此多的能量释放得如此之快,以至于这颗恒星发现自己严重失去了平衡。瞬间,它变成了一个压力不平衡的超级热球,轰!一颗超新星诞生)”和第三段中“The heat from the magma builds up a massive pressure imbalance inside the mountain. It’s that imbalance that drives the BOOM, the volcanic eruption that rips a zillion tons of rocks away and sends ash 15 miles into the sky. (岩浆的热量造成了山体内部巨大的压力不平衡。正是这种不平衡导致了火山爆发,火山爆发撕裂了无数吨的岩石,将火山灰喷向15英里外的天空)”可知,压力不平衡导致了超新星的诞生和火山的爆发。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But here’s the thing: Supernova, volcanoes and all those other explosions in the universe are not just awesome sights. They are all essential players in cosmic (宇宙的) evolution. Supernova create a lot of the elements in your body that are essential to life. No supernova, no you. And volcanoes are essential to evolution of the planet, including the cycling of greenhouse gases like CO2 that make Earth habitable. No volcanoes, no you. (但事情是这样的:超新星、火山和宇宙中所有其他的爆炸不仅仅是令人敬畏的景象。它们都是宇宙进化的重要参与者。超新星为你的身体创造了许多生命所必需的元素。没有超新星,就没有你。火山对地球的进化至关重要,包括使地球适合居住的二氧化碳等温室气体的循环。没有火山,就没有你)”可知,宇宙中的爆炸是宇宙进化的重要参与者,超新星为人体创造了许多生命所必需的元素,火山爆发促进了地球上温室气体的循环。由此可知,这些爆炸是生命所必需的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“As much as we like to think about nature embodying balance, the universe is actually filled with imbalance, too. (尽管我们喜欢认为自然体现了平衡,但宇宙实际上也充满了不平衡)”可知,文章主要以超新星的诞生和火山爆发为例介绍了宇宙中不平衡的现象,这些爆炸不仅是令人敬畏的景象,也是宇宙进化的重要参与者,是生命所必需的。因此,文章属于科学范畴,可能出自网站的科学部分。故选B项。
D
At Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. , 16-year-old Sage Waite is already taking a class in cybersecurity, and she’d welcome one that’s in the works on cyber disinformation.
“For the longest time, I didn’t actually know what disinformation was,” said Waite, who’s in the 11th grade. “There was always the idea that things could be wrong in what you’re hearing and what you’re being told. But the idea of misinformation and disinformation wasn’t in my day-to-day.” This past year, she says, has been an eye-opener. “My friends and I definitely started looking into stuff more and doing more research after that,” she said.
A new program on “digital literacy,” with a focus on topics like disinformation, is in the pipeline, thanks in part to Mike McConnell, who is now working to fight false information aimed at young people. “We need to understand this so we can appreciate what's happening to us, and be able to not only understand it, but also to navigate through it,” McConnell said. “That’s what I call digital literacy.”
McConnell is executive director of Cyber Florida, which is based at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The group works with kids throughout the state at universities, high schools, and even those in younger grades. Cyber Florida helped set up the cybersecurity program now being taught at many Florida schools. The new project, Cyber Citizenship, is even more ambitious. “We think if we can do this for Florida, we can spread it across the nation,” he said.
The expanded program now in the works aims to make digital literacy something all Florida students get, at several grade levels, before they finish high school.
There’s no date yet for the cyber disinformation classes in Florida, but computer teacher Jason Felt says it can’t come soon enough and he is ready to embrace it.
“The Internet is a wonderful tool. It’s connected us in a way that’s never really been seen before. But it’s a blessing and it’s also a curse.”
Teaching students the difference, he says, is a huge challenge.
12 What can we learn about the class that Sage Waite is taking from the first two paragraphs?
A. It receives a cold welcome. B. It aims to form a bond.
C. It focuses on technologies. D. It has a positive impact.
13. What is digital literacy according to MeConnell?
A. The specific strategies for protecting privacy. B. The inborn capacity to track fake information.
C. The general skills of maintaining cybersecurity. D. The overall ability to handle online information.
14. What is the vision of Cyber Citizenship?
A. To outperform Cybersecuritiy. B. To take the lead in the world.
C. To reach a wider range of students. D. To make a substantial profit.
15. What is Jason Felt’s attitude towards the cyber disinformation classes?
A. Welcoming. B. Unclear. C. Opposed. D. Prejudiced.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了抖音为解决青少年沉迷其中的问题而推出的青少年模式的内容、用途和影响。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:如今,我们已经到了科学技术高度发达的时期。分析句子结构,空处引导一个限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a period,且从句中缺少时间状语,所以应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:2016年,一款新的软件,抖音,诞生了,它可以帮助人们与他人分享有趣的事情。根据时间状语“In 2016”可知,应用一般过去时,表示过去的动作,谓语动词come用过去式came。故填came。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,越来越多的青少年对抖音如此疯狂,以至于他们迷失在其中。空处应用形容词,作表语。be lost in意为“全神贯注,沉浸于”。故填lost。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:幸运的是,中国版抖音推出了一种“青少年模式”,将14岁以下的儿童每天花在短视频应用上的时间限制在40分钟。空处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。luckily意为“幸运地”,首字母大写。故填Luckily。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意参考上题。the age of意为“……的年龄”,是固定短语,此处年龄为特指,用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意参考第4题。limit...to...意为“将……限制在……内”,为固定短语。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:建议所有14岁以下的抖音用户使用实名注册。空处应用形容词性物主代词,修饰real names,表示“他们的”,用their。故填their。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:此外,抖音也将在晚上10点到早上6点之间不对这些青少年开放,以保护他们的身心健康。teenager意为“青少年”,为可数名词,其前有those修饰,所以应用复数。故填teenagers。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:事实上,限制青少年使用抖音也会促使其他拥有短视频内容的互联网平台采取类似措施。分析句子结构,“___9___(limit) teenagers’ usage of Douyin”在句中作主语,且这里表示一般性的动作,所以应用动名词,作主语。故填limiting。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。push sb. to do sth.意为“敦促某人做某事”,不定式作宾补,故填to take。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This Friday brought a mix of emotions—both excitement and disappointment — all because of a flyer from school. When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?”
“A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.”
“Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.
I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up.
As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall.
“You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His words made me pause and think. As I reflected on his wisdom, I realized that I had been burying my own roots too deep, suffocating my growth and potential, no matter how often I was told about my talent in drawing. I had always unknowingly turned a deaf ear, forgetting to spread my roots outward, to seek nourishment and reach for the sky. Encouraged by Mr. Weston’ s words, I decided to reassess my approach to life and started branching out .
The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. Once I was there, I discovered that I didn’t have to be like Emily, jumping into some unfamiliar faces around to prove I was a real artist. From landscapes to portraits, and water color to oil painting, each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention I had never experienced before. I began to make friends with other kids, the boat in my stomach rocking gently in calm waters. It was here that I truly flourished, drawing my own way to reach out for a whole new world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者有绘画天赋,想要参加艺术营,又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston老师,老师的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营,在画画的时候专心致志,交到了朋友,也接触了一个全新的世界。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他的话使我停下来思考。”可知,第一段可描写作者听了Weston老师的话之后对于自己生活态度的思考及想法的改变。
②由第二段首句内容“下个星期一,我报名参加了艺术营。”可知,第二段可描写作者参加艺术营的经历和感受。
2.续写线索:引发思考——态度转变——决定参加艺术营——经历——感受

[高分句型2]. From landscapes to portraits, and water color to oil painting, each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention I had never experienced before.(attention为先行词,省略关系代词的限制性定语从句)
