Theartwork is impressive,stretching over 30meter high and 4 meters wide.Mundano used ashes(灰烬)from wildfires and mud(泥浆)from floodtocreate it.The painting shows the gray remains of trees on a broken,brown land,symbolizing the destruction of forests and the severe drought in the Amazon rainforest. n recent months,human-caused wildfires have severely damaged protected areas in the Amazon,including parts of the Cerrado grassland and the Pantanal,the world's largest tropical wetland.Additionally,the dry season in Brazil's Amazon this year has been worse than usual, leading todisasrous floods earlier in the year that killed over10 peope affected over2 million, and destroyed city communities. Mundano,who refers to himself as an"artivist,"added mud from one of these floods to his new wall painting.The materials were gleaned by the activist group Movement of People Affected by Dams at the diaster scenes.He also used ashes from fires in the Atlantic Forest,the Pantanal,and the Cerrado,as well as earth from waste containers in Sao Paulo and from the Sawre Muybu Indigenous land in the Amazon. Three years ago,Mundano created a similar wall painting in Sao Paulo using ashes from the Amazon.That piece featured a firefighter standing in a deforested area,along with a cow farm and trucks loaded with cut trees,further highlighting the issue of climate change and its impact on the environment. 24.Why did Mundano create the painting?

"I think she is depressed,"a mother sitting in my office whispered to me.The teenager in front of me stared at the floor,then took out her phone and started texting her friends.Her mother said she had been like this for nearly two weeks ever since she failed in her exam.I took a look at the mother and then at her child,wondering where to begin.When you're a teenager,feeling sad after you've failed an exam is not a mental illness.It's quite normal. This sort of thing was far from uncommon when I worked in the youngster's mental health center.I was astonished at how spoiled (children had become with parents seeming to have lost all awareness of proper judgment.Of course,it makes sense to me that parents are worried about their teenagers.It can be a strange,confusing time for both the child and the parents to see a sweet little baby change right in front of the eyes.I also get it that it's sometimes difficult to differentiate between what's normal and what should be setting off alarm bells. Modem parents are around their children all the time,assuming every little tear means that they need immediate psychological()help when what they really need is a kind word or a cup of tea.Children are overly protected,like being kept in a small,separate space away from everything ee.They're not even allowed to touch sof things like coton wool because it might hurt their sensitive skin. 英语试题第4页（共8页） 扫描全能王创建 This type of parenting that creates this"snowflake generation"might make their childhood easy,but it makes them unprepared for the real world.It does children huge harm because it equips them with no life skills for going through the difficulties they will face when they are adults. We have created a generation who lack any self-reliance and strength,who believe the world revolves()entirely round them and that their feelings always come first.But how will they deal with the big bad world once they finally grow up? 28.What caused the girl's depression according to her mother? A.An academic failure. B.A fight with her friends C.The addiction to the phone. D.The disagreement between them. 29.How does the author consider the mother's worry about her daughter? A.It's necessary. B.It's understandable. C.It's a rather rare scene in his career. D.It reflects the proper judgment of parents. 30.What does the author mean by "snowflake generation"? A.A generation that is strong and adaplable. B.A generation that is highly brilliant and flexible. C.A generation that is good at dealing with difficulties. D.A generation that is overly sensitive and lacks independence. 31.What is the author's attitude towards modern parenting? A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Uncaring. D.Unclear. D At the end of this century,the number of people in the world who are over 65 years old will be three times as many as now.As there won't be enough young and healthy laborers()to do hard physical work,we will need a lot of robots to keep our country going. The UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA)is investing()57 million in next-generation robots for tasks typically performed by humans.ARIA isn't the only one to think that robots will get much better.Elon Musk says his car company Tesla has almost finished making "really useful human-like robots",and his final aim is to have a robot that can "walk your dog,look after your house,take care of your kids,and cook dinner".Figure,a new company working with OpenAI,has shown a video of its robot working on a BMW production line.Unitree, a Chinese company,sells a robot for $16,000 that can climb stairs and stay standing even if you push it hard. Even though robots have improved,the ones we use in factories now are often called "big, stupid,and dangerous",and we need to put them in cages to be safe.To do jobs in places that are always changing,robots need to learn from what they do.For example,Google's robot arms that use AI got better at their jobs by trying and learning from mistakes. As the idea of human-like robots is becoming more popular,start-ups are receiving significant investments.While achieving human-like skills in robots may take decades,easier jobs like watching over dangerous areas could be done by robots sooner.In the UK,robots are already delivering groceries and trying to pick strawberries. However,the robots in social care are far from satisfying.The Japanese experience with robots like Pepper,designed for social care,led to complaints of increased workloads and being discontinued.Even so,the development of robots that can multitask and adapt to various tasks is seen as a potential supplement to the human workforce. 32.How does the author develop paragraph 2? A.By making comparisons. B.By giving examples. C.By listing numbers D.By presenting assumptions. 英语试题第5页（共8页） 扫描全能王创建 可只 33.What is the main disadvantage of current industrial robots? A.They are too complex to manage. B.They are too small to use. C.They are not intelligent enough. D.They are not energy-efficient. 34.What can be inferred about the robots in social care from the text? A.Their performance depends on human guidance. B.They have been widely used around the world. C.They are only suitable for simple tasks. D.Their service remains to be improved. 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.The Rise of Robots B.ARIA's Global Robot Project C.Developing Robots for Lack of Laborers D.Robots That Are Shaping the World 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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of my patients recently asked,"Am I depressed?I just can't seem to feel any joy in life."Despite having no major stressors,life had lost its meaning for him.36 Everyone has bad days or moments of feeling down. When joylessness becomes a common occurrence,it may signal a condition known as "anhedonia",which makes it difficult to experience positive emotions such as happiness or pleasure.When someone experiences it,their world may seem grey.37 However,the situation isn't hopeless.There are steps we can take to bring joy back into our lives. One of the first steps is recognizing and dealing with joy blockers.These include emotions like guilt,anxiety,or shame.38 Working through them can help us reconnect with positive feelings that have been buried beneath the surface. 39 Positive emotions are able to spread from one individual to another.A simple praise, spoken with sincerity,can have a great impact on both the giver and the recipient.It can brighten someone's day,boost their confidence,and in turn,make us feel good about ourselves.What's more,studies show that feeling joy for others can also reduce symptoms of depression.It's a win- win situation,where by focusing on the happiness of those around us,we end up benefiting ourselves as well. We can also practice "relational savoring",which means actively enjoying and appreciating positive moments,no matter how small.In our fast-paced lives,we often rush from one task to another,missing out on the simple pleasures that surround us every day.It could be the warmth of a morning hug from a loved one,the sound of a child's laughter,or the sight of a beautiful flower blooming in the garden.40 A.You will feel better with support. B.Even achieving goals feels unimportant. C.If you've ever felt this way,you're not alone. D.Another powerful way to generate joy is by praising others. E.Joylessness never comes alone,but is accompanied by lots of other bad feelings. F.Such emotions can prevent us from accessing joy even without our awareness. G.By stopping for a moment to enjoy the moments,we can increase our overall well-being. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人入空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I have always had a deep love for art.Ever since I was a child,the world of colors,shapes, 英语试题第6页（共8页） ▣ 扫描全能王创建 and creativity has held much 41 for me.However,as life's responsibilities piled on,with children to support,going after it seemed 42.

The first skating class was set to start at 7:00 am.I was really looking forward to it.My father and I were able to make it to the class on time.When we arrived at the skating rink(),I was shocked:Even though it was the very first class,some of the students were already skating like real experts!They were gliding()around the rink so smoothly.When it was time to get the skating shoes,all the ones that fit me were already taken.The instructor had to give me a pair that didn't fit well at all.They were too big and felt really uncomfortable on my feet.

But it was really hard.Every time I tried to skate,I would fall down.It was so embarrassing. However,the instructor was really nice.He would hold my hand and walk with me around the rink, teaching me the basic steps and how to balance.
