Where do you find reference (参考) photos? Whether you’re painting flowers, abstracts or landscapes, staying inspired is the key to always creating new work and discovering your own unique style. 2 I’ll bring my phone along, and take my own reference photos and videos of flowers I see, interesting color palettes (主要色彩) in the sky or landscapes. 3 While you’re outside, you become more of a discoverer when it comes to colors and subject matter. If there’s a particular subject I know I need to paint or some color inspiration I can’t find in my local area, I’ll search the Internet. 4 NO. I’m talking about finding travel photos, nature photos, etc. and creating mood boards that evoke (唤起) a certain theme you’re going for. This step is huge for trend forecasting and creating work that’s truly inspired and not a recreation. Sometimes books are my great inspiration. And my favorite book for digging yourself out of a creative rut (一成不变的状态) is The Artist’s Way. 5 It’s a game-changer! I also love referencing one of my favorites, Flowers of the World. This is a beautiful book that’s opened my eyes to many species of plants that I’ve never even heard of. A．What are your favorite art books? B．Why do we need to find inspiration?

Passage 2 （23-24高二下·内蒙古兴安盟·期中）Since the old times, art has always been with us. Art has always been very important to people. It shows our feelings, ideas, and what we see around us. From the first simple cave drawings to the latest computer art, the way art has changed is a very interesting part of human history. 1 This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works. But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice. 2 In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes. Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art. 3 Artists like Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky used shapes and colors in new ways to make us feel emotions and think about ideas without showing real things. How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time. 4 Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it. Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone. 5 A．Take the oldest art as an example. B．Take the Renaissance as an example. C．People can understand it, no matter where they are from. D．It means they tried to paint a lot of pictures to make a living. E．This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know. F．Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, art is changing again. G．It can also say important things about society and can help change things. Passage 3 （23-24高二下·四川广元·期中）Want to “Feel Something” When You Look at Art? Many of you would love to have deep connection with art when you look at a painting or sculpture. But how do you do that exactly? 1 Keep an open mind Some artworks may be surprising, and others might be a letdown. And that’s OK. So allow yourself to feel however the art makes you feel. 2 Studies have shown that it can lower stress— particularly when people view images of landscapes and seascapes. And it makes you feel good. 3 First, be realistic about how long you can spend at the museum. You don’t need more than an hour or two. After that, it becomes “information overload” and it’s hard to stay focused. Next, be strategic about what you want to look at. Either way, there’s no right way to go through an art museum. So mind your time and make sure you concentrate on what really interests you. Observe the art in person Get up close and personal. We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum. So take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen. 4 Besides, Consider the subject of the art, which can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work. Appreciate and reflect 5 It can also help you make sense of the world around you. When you look at art and open yourselves to understanding it, you gain a deeper understanding not just of artists, but also different kinds of ways of making arts. A．Arrange your time properly. B．Reflection is a key to art appreciation. C．Keep your museum visit short and focused. D．The following tips may help you better enjoy art. E．Viewing art can have a profound impact on your psychology. F．This will help you see and feel what it is like from the artist’s perspective. G．The observation can help you appreciate how artists express their emotions. Passage 4 （23-24高二下·黑龙江·期末）Capturing photos of individuals can be an opportunity to show their personality, convey information and tell a story. I’m a photographer and have taken photos of musicians, athletes, politicians, actors and many others. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you take photos of people.Be decisive while making room for collaboration (合作) Having your photo taken can be troublesome. To ease your subjects’ anxiety, you should be confident, calm and decisive. 1 , including how many shots you have planned, and showing them the different locations and styling choices. If you have time, get their feedback about a proposed shot. During the shoot, check in and see if there are changes that will make the subjects more comfortable. 2 , be decisive and prioritize getting the job done.Prioritize needs and wants For me, the order of priority is my clients’ needs, my investments and then the subjects’ requests. 3 . But with the restrictions of practical circumstances, follow your own order of priority. 4 With any lighting situation, test the light by having your subjects turn in a circle so you can see how light changes on their faces. 5 . If you fall in love with a shot, but the subject says, “I just shot there last week, so I don’t want to do that,” you have to adjust quickly. Something unexpected can happen, so you must be prepared to take action. A．Respect your subjects B．Given a time restriction C．In an ideal world, everyone can be satisfied D．Make preparations and adjustments in photography E．If you have enough time to shoot in the right location F．You can lead the shoot by walking them through the process Passage 5 （23-24高二下·福建福州·阶段练习）A Picture Paints A Thousand Words? Nowadays, everyone takes selfies (自拍照), from famous actors and politicians, to everyday people. Selfies are a great way to share your hobbies and daily routines, and thanks to smartphones and their high-quality cameras, anyone can take and upload these images on social media. 1 According to research, our selfies and how we take them also say a lot about our character. Researchers found that both the poses that we choose and the way that we actually take a selfie can show the world something. 2 Those who stick their tongues out could be fun-loving and silly but might actually feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Even how often we smile in our selfies and the way we smile tell people about our character. Someone who smiles a lot is more likely to be outgoing and open to new experiences while someone with a large broad smile may be a risk-taker. It’s not just our expression, though, that gives away things about us. 3 For example, people who look directly at the camera could be cooperative and sociable. 4 Studies found that showing the left side of the face and cheek in a selfie communicates emotions better and makes you seem more attractive to others. People who take a selfie from below often want to appear bigger and stronger, white those taking a picture from above looking down could want to appear shorter and sweeter. Next time you grab your smartphone, hold on for a moment. 5 A．Our eyes can do that too! B．The position of the camera is also important. C．It may be better to drop it straight back into your pocket. D．Think about what your next post is really saying about you! E．The act of taking a selfie also puts you in a position of power. F．For example, people who make the “duck face” may be in a bad mood. G．But is there more to selfies than just showing your holidays or your new clothes? 二、 进阶练习 Passage 6 （23-24高二下·河南许昌·期末）Make More Time for Music Are you one of those people who loves listening to music? Do you listen to it whenever you can? If so, you’re doing something good for your mind and body. 1 It just might make you happier, healthier, and it could even make you a better student. Music can make you smile, sing along, or get up and dance. These experiences are proof of music’s power. In fact, scientists believe that music makes people happier. Valorie N. Salimpoor at McGill University has studied music and the human brain. She has proven that listening to pleasant music causes positive changes in the brain. 2 And those feelings make a person happy. Music isn’t just good for your mind and mood, though. It’s also good for your body. A group of scientists from Spain and Brazil have studied how music affects runners. The scientists found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat. 3 Still not convinced that listening to music is good for you? 4 Scientists in Finland have shown that music helps students. Listening to music can help you when you’re learning something new. It can also help you better remember what you’ve learned. Students who listened to background music during a test answered more test questions. They got more of the answers correct too. 5 It’s a powerful force that can make our lives better. It can improve our mood, our health, and even our grades. In short, it’s good for you. So make time for music. You won’t regret it! A．Music is more than just a pleasant art. B．The faster the beat, the faster the bikers rode. C．If not, you should think about adding more music to your life. D．These changes create feelings of excitement, joy, and pleasure. E．In other words, music can cheer you up when you’re feeling sad. F．Then you might be interested to learn that music can help you learn. G．They compared music liked by fast bikers and music liked by slow bikers. Passage 7 （23-24高二下·辽宁鞍山·阶段练习）In the world of art and creativity, there are countless materials that artists use to express their ideas and emotions. One of the materials that have gained popularity in recent years is woven paper (编纸). It is a classic art form that involves the weaving of paper to create various objects and products. 1 The origin of woven paper can date back to ancient civilizations and at first it was mainly used for practical purposes such as making baskets. 2 In the 20th century, woven paper gained significant recognition as an art form, with artists experimenting with different weaving patterns and technique to create various designs. Creating a woven paper artwork requires time, accuracy, and a deep understanding of the textures (质地). Artists start by outlining their design, thinking about how the weaving pattern forms the final piece. 3 As they weave the paper strips (纸条) together, they pay close attention to detail, ensuring that the overall pattern is balanced and harmonious. 4 They are lightweight, long-lasting, and eco-friendly since they can be made of recycled materials. Woven paper items can also easily suit individual preferences for the size, shape, and color. Besides, the process of weaving paper can be a creative and enjoyable craft activity for individuals of all ages. Woven paper art not only shows the artistic skills of the creator but also carries deeper meanings and messages. 5 Woven paper art can be a powerful medium for storytelling, allowing artists to connect with viewers on a deep level. A．It does take a lot of effort to make woven artworks. B．Gradually, artists began to include it in their artworks. C．Woven paper products offer several advantages. D．Weaving also encourages creative thinking and problem-solving. E．They carefully select colors and textures of paper to enhance a good artwork. F．And it’s worth exploring whether you are a professional or simply curious about it. G．Through colors and patterns, artists express emotions and explore cultural themes. Passage 8 （23-24高二下·江苏苏州·期末）Music is all around us. 1 Advertisers have long understood the popularity and emotional power of music and made good use of it. They spend much time and money securing the right soundtrack (配乐) for an advertisement in order to boost sales. 2 It expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source. Music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. It can result in enhanced attention, a positive emotional response and improved brand recall. Thus, it contributes to the effectiveness of an advertisement. Take the visually simple but interesting advertisement for Air France, with the soundtrack of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23, for example. 3 The advertisers hope that viewers will associate those qualities with the airline. Hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising suggested it was successful. Music is also effective at triggering feelings of nostalgia (怀旧之情). The emotional memories music arouses in advertisements serves as a reminder of consumers’ past experiences. 4 However, the use of popular music in advertising can also cause arguments around the tension between artistic effort and commercialism. Consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements. 5 For example, Nike’s use of Beatles’ song Revolution was seen by some as using Lennon’s lyrics to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products. A．It highlights greatness and elegance. B．Music is the facilitator of advertising. C．Music helps cut down the cost of advertising. D．This, in turn, helps business reap commercial benefit. E．They believe that doing this destroys the beauty of music. F．It’s a popular art form which accompanies our daily lives. G．But some people argue using music is a way to show respect for musicians. Passage 9 （23-24高二下·全国·课后作业）A Plastic Ocean is a documentary to make you think. Think, and then act. We need to take action on our dependence on plastic. We’ve been producing plastic in huge quantities. Some bottles, shopping bags and toys are made of plastic. 1 What happens to all the rest? This is the question the documentary A Plastic Ocean answers. The documentary begins with a journey to film the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. But during the journey, the producers made a shocking discovery of a huge, thick layer of plastic floating in the Indian Ocean. 2 In total, they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years to make the documentary. In the documentary there are beautiful shots of the seas and marine life. 3 We see how marine species (海洋物种) are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping (倾倒) in the ocean. The message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious. 4 In the second half, the producers look at what we can do to deal with the problem. They present short-term and long-term solutions. These include avoiding plastic containers and recycling plastic as much as you can. The producers also stress the need for governments to work more on recycling programmes. We make a shocking amount of plastic. Over 300 million tons of plastic is produced every year, and at least 8 million of it is dumped into the oceans. The results are disastrous, but it isn’t too late to change. 5 A．It has raised public concern all over the world. B．In conclusion, we only have one earth to live on. C．But the documentary doesn’t only present the negative side. D．These are contrasted with plastic rubbish. E．Once you’ve seen the documentary, you’ll realize it is time to do our part. F．We live in a world full of plastic, and only a small amount is recycled. G．This caused them to travel around the world to look at other affected areas. Passage 10 （23-24高二下·云南昆明·期末）Five Ways to Improve Your Outdoor Photography If you’re thinking about entering our Beautiful Britain Photo Competition, here are five ways to help inspire the best outdoor photos. ● Get to know your subjects All across the British Isles you will find opportunities to spot, and photograph, the large variety of wildlife calling our shores home. 1 You will get far better photos if you can predict what they are likely to do next. ·Capture details in a close-up Going in close can bring some fascinating rewards in nature photography. In this way, a small object will appear greater than life-size in a photo. Pick up rain drops on a spider’s web or capture a bee landing on a flower. 2 . ·Find the best shooting time 3 . It’s just best to avoid extremes ——a shadow or lots of natural sunlight can produce great results. Experiment taking photos at different times of day to see how the light affects your photographs. 4 Although the delete button can be your best friend if you have an overexposed photo, using certain functions of the camera will help you avoid unstable, out-of-focus, or blurred(模糊的)images the first time around. ●Compose the best outdoor photo It’s important to accurately compose the landscape you’re shooting. 5 . Instead, think twice about what has captured your attention, and find the best location to place your main subject in the picture. It’s good to avoid too much unnecessary space in the frame. A．Experiment with cameras’ functions B．Practice holding your camera steadily C．There are photo opportunities everywhere D．Carefully observe the animals you are filming E．Thus, it can help show the beauty we might miss in everyday life F．There are no hard and fast rules when it’s suitable for photography G．Don’t just shoot the first thing you see or from the first angle you look at it 三、 高阶提升 高二下学期 单元话题 梯度训练 32 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Passage 11 （23-24高二下·四川广安·期中）It’s hard to say why, but it’s just true: Music is good for you. It can calm your spirit and help you vent (发泄) your anger. 1 . But there’s one surprising yet well-documented effect that has really surprised people. Music lessons are very good for language comprehension — and they might even be better than reading lessons. 2 . But in this new study from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), researchers were able to see music lessons improve word comprehension right before their eyes. Led by Robert Desimone, the director of McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the team tested 74 children between the ages of four and five to see how their growing language skills were affected by piano lessons. The 74 participants were divided into three groups. 3 . The other two had their weekly academic lessons supplemented with three 45-minute lessons per week — the first got piano lessons and the second took part in reading lessons. What are the results? The ones who received a little extra learning every week outperformed those who just continued on with their normal studies. 4 . Perhaps even more surprisingly, the children who took the music lessons even outperformed the ones who took the reading lessons when it came to telling the difference between two words that were very similar. “That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” Desimone said in a statement. “They really benefited from that.” To the researchers, the results point to one clear conclusion: 5 A．It can even be used to improve your memory. B．It can bring people together and give us hope. C．Music benefits students in multiple ways. D．The control group simply carried on with their normal school classes. E．Many studies have shown a close link between musical training and language skills. F．If you’re a school administrator who wants kids to succeed, you’d better not cut those music lessons. G．Even the ones who only took music lessons turned out to perform better on language puzzles than those who didn’t have extra lessons. Passage 12 （23-24高二下·重庆·期中）With growing evidence that dancing helps boost brain health and manage symptoms of neurocognitive and movement disorders, accessible dance programmes and movement therapists around the world are helping improve the lives of millions. 1 . Dance as medicine There’s actually a lot more happening inside the brain when trying to follow even the simplest choreography (舞蹈设计). “In dance, we have to learn patterns, think symmetrically (对称地) and asymmetrically, and remember sequences,” says David Leventhal, a programme director. 2 Tasks like navigating the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if they are regarded as choreography. 3 In addition to the physical and neurological benefits, dance can also help people living with disease accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Rather than trying to control, or “fix” our body, dance is about developing greater body awareness and moving at our capacity, regardless of physical or cognitive difference. Dance as community 4 Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their abilities when dealing with neurological and movement disorders, it also helps to combat the loneliness and social isolation of living with a chronic illness. Still, researchers say they’re only scratching the surface of understanding how dance can be used therapeutically. 5 Additional studies are also needed to pinpoint the most effective types of dance movements and the optimal length and frequency of classes. It’s also unclear who would benefit most, in terms of age or disease progression. A．Dance as body acceptance B．Dance as brain improvement C．The effect extends beyond the dance class to the real world. D．Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. E．Basically, dancing requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive exercises. F．So what is it about dance that’s different from a brisk walk or other aerobic exercises? G．Larger studies are needed to confirm the findings of the smaller trials that have been done so far. Passage 13 （23-24高二下·北京大兴·期中）Walt Disney: A Legacy of Dreams The name “Disney” evokes a rush of images: from the enchanted kingdom of Disneyland to the heartwarming tales of Bambi and Simba. For almost a century, Disney, initiated by Walt Disney himself, has been synonymous with storytelling, imagination, and dreams-come-true. But what’s the journey behind this global empire of happiness? Founded in 1923 by Walt and Roy O. Disney, the company started as a small animation studio in the back of a real estate office in Los Angeles. 1 The creation of the beloved Mickey Mouse in 1928 marked the beginning of Disney’s ascent to fame. This iconic character not only helped the company regain its footing after a business setback but also paved the way for the world of animation as we know it. Disney’s first full-length animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, premiered in 1937. 2 Its success proved that storytelling combined with animation had the power to touch the hearts of audiences worldwide, setting the foundation for a series of masterpieces that followed. Disneyland, opened in 1955, was Walt’s most ambitious venture (经营项目). 3 Termed as “The Happiest Place on Earth”, this theme park was built upon a narrative, each attraction telling its own story, making it a pioneering effort in the world of amusement parks. It wasn’t just about rides, but an experience of stories coming to life. With Walt’s death in 1966, there were doubts about the future of the company. 4 Today, Disney is not just about animation or theme parks. With its acquisition of entities like Marvel and Lucasfilm, it’s a major player in global entertainment. Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” 5 Disney remains a testament to the power of dreams, imagination, and pursuit, lighting up lives across generations and geographies. A．The transformation from a humble beginning to a global business came with both achievements and challenges. B．Each turn in the park promises a leap into fantasy, ensuring the magic is felt at every corner. C．This venture greatly changed the landscape of cinematic history. D．Though faced with initial skepticism, the park became an instant success. E．Over the decades, it has redefined entertainment, proving that stories have no boundaries. F．However, despite initial uncertainties in leadership and direction, the enterprise continued to grow. G．It’s a universe of stories, where every character, every song, and every ride have a heart and soul. Passage 14 （23-24高二下·江苏南京·期末）Peking opera is seen as a national treasure in China. However, due to today’s rapid social changes, the art form is becoming more and more isolated, especially from younger generations. Peking opera actress Dong Yuanyuan proposed integrating the art of Peking opera with digital technology to vie (争夺) for more young audience. 1 In November 2021, the Digital Mei Lanfang project was launched in Beijing. The late Mei Lanfang (1894 —1961) was famous for creating and acting in numerous renowned Peking opera plays. 2 “I got very excited and emotional when I saw that Master Mei was ‘really talking’ to us on stage,” Dong said. In 2022, a Peking opera film was also shot with the virtual techniques. This has provided a very different experience for opera-lovers and aroused the interest of some young people. 3 In addition, more flexible means should be adopted to promote Peking opera. Dong suggests that traditional artistic elements, such as tunes from Peking opera, could also be used in pop songs in an ancient Chinese style. 4 They have not only helped audience familiarize with Peking opera, but also popularized the art form in a way easily accepted by young people. A digital human is a human being that exists in the digital world. It is created by making digital copies of the movements of the target and then accurately reconstructing the figure in the digital world. 5 When making the digital image of Master Mei, it was very difficult to imitate his facial expressions and voice as well as the materials his costumes were made out of since they had been lost to time. So there is still a long way to go before a digital Peking opera human with real-time interaction capability is created. A．The result was very satisfying. B．The popularity of digital technology is obvious. C．However, there are many obstacles to overcome. D．There is no doubt that young people like pop music most. E．This might be one of the most effective ways to solve the problem. F．Now, digital technology made him appear before the audience again. G．So far, a dozen such songs have been very well-received by young people. Passage 15 （23-24高二下·安徽淮南·期中）Do you know that singing along to your favorite song can lift your mood and make you happy? Why do you think they play songs at the gym while you're working out? 1 Regarding learning, these harmonies can stimulate the brain to help with literacy (读写能力). Here are a few ways those jazzy beats can help with your child's reading. Music strengthens attention and focus In early childhood, many parents find that keeping the focus and attention of their child is impossible. Their brain still has much learning and calming to do, so it can make reading a challenge. Musical training helps them focus, as it requires much attention. You may play some songs while they are cleaning and doing other chores. 2 Music enhances memory Kids can remember anything except when you tell them to clean their room. Experts have discovered that melodies (旋律) are a great way to help link emotion and memory. For your child to develop comprehension skills, they need their mind to be sharp. 3 And they will better understand learning concepts. Music expands the vocabulary Early childhood requires your kid to learn new words. These words are based on their experiences. When you expose your child to certain melodies, it has a powerful effect on their little mind. 4 From classic tunes to hip-hop and jazz, your kid will grow their vocabulary and apply what they learn to their education. 5 When your child learned to walk, they fell more than they took steps. They had to practice before they ever developed the ability. In early childhood, good practice habits are essential for reading and many other things. Your child can enhance their learning abilities by engaging in music. Music can inspire your children and push them to practice more. Finally, they will learn the fact that practice makes perfect. A．Music teaches the truth of life. B．Music helps with listening ability. C．Listening to lines of the song is the best way. D．When music is involved, your child's memory can improve. E．It's a fun game to play in early childhood as it helps recall. F．It helps them to be more interested in the activities rather than get bored. G．They know you will enjoy your routine better as you're motivated by them. 32 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二下学期 单元话题 梯度训练 专题-S612七选五 人教版选择性必修三 题型特训 Unit 1 Art 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、 初阶练手 Passage 1 - 5 二、 进阶练习 Passage 6 -10 三、 高阶提升 Passage 11-15 一、 初阶练手 Passage 1 （23-24高二下·宁夏银川·阶段练习）As a professional artist, people ask me all the time where I get inspiration. 1 Favorite artists?

Art has always been very important to people. It shows our feelings, ideas, and what we see around us. From the first simple cave drawings to the latest computer art, the way art has changed is a very interesting part of human history. 1 This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works. But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice. 2 In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes. Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art. 3 Artists like Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky used shapes and colors in new ways to make us feel emotions and think about ideas without showing real things. How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time. 4 Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it. Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone. 5 A．Take the oldest art as an example. B．Take the Renaissance as an example. C．People can understand it, no matter where they are from. D．It means they tried to paint a lot of pictures to make a living. E．This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know.

Nowadays, everyone takes selfies (自拍照), from famous actors and politicians, to everyday people. Selfies are a great way to share your hobbies and daily routines, and thanks to smartphones and their high-quality cameras, anyone can take and upload these images on social media. 1 According to research, our selfies and how we take them also say a lot about our character. Researchers found that both the poses that we choose and the way that we actually take a selfie can show the world something. 2 Those who stick their tongues out could be fun-loving and silly but might actually feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Even how often we smile in our selfies and the way we smile tell people about our character. Someone who smiles a lot is more likely to be outgoing and open to new experiences while someone with a large broad smile may be a risk-taker. It’s not just our expression, though, that gives away things about us. 3 For example, people who look directly at the camera could be cooperative and sociable. 4 Studies found that showing the left side of the face and cheek in a selfie communicates emotions better and makes you seem more attractive to others. People who take a selfie from below often want to appear bigger and stronger, white those taking a picture from above looking down could want to appear shorter and sweeter. Next time you grab your smartphone, hold on for a moment. 5 A．Our eyes can do that too! B．The position of the camera is also important. C．It may be better to drop it straight back into your pocket. D．Think about what your next post is really saying about you! E．The act of taking a selfie also puts you in a position of power. F．For example, people who make the “duck face” may be in a bad mood. G．But is there more to selfies than just showing your holidays or your new clothes? 【答案】1. G 2. F 3. A 4. B 5. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述我们的自拍以及我们是如何拍摄的能说明了我们的性格。 1. 由下文“According to research, our selfies and how we take them also say a lot about our character.(根据研究，我们的自拍以及我们如何拍摄也反映了我们的性格。)”可知，我们的自拍能说明了我们的性格，而G项But is there more to selfies than just showing your holidays or your new clothes?(但是，自拍不仅仅是展示你的假期或新衣服吗？)符合语境，其中is there more和下文say a lot about our character对应，有启下作用。故选G项。 2. 由上文“Researchers found that both the poses that we choose and the way that we actually take a selfie can show the world something.(研究人员发现，我们选择的姿势和实际自拍的方式都可以向世界展示一些东西。)”可知，我们拍照的姿势可以让外在的世界发现一些东西。而F项For example, people who make the “duck face” may be in a bad mood. (例如，做“鸭子脸”的人可能心情不好。)符合语境，其中make the “duck face” 与上文poses对应，有承上作用。故选F项。 3. 由下文“For example, people who look directly at the camera could be cooperative and sociable.(例如，直视镜头的人可能会合作和善于交际。)”可知，我们的眼睛也会显示我们的性格。而A项Our eyes can do that too!(我们的眼睛也能做到这一点！)符合语境，其中Our eyes和下文look directly对应，有启下作用。故选A项。 4. 由下文“Studies found that showing the left side of the face and cheek in a selfie communicates emotions better and makes you seem more attractive to others. People who take a selfie from below often want to appear bigger and stronger, white those taking a picture from above looking down could want to appear shorter and sweeter.(研究发现，在自拍中露出脸和脸颊的左侧可以更好地传达情绪，让你看起来对他人更有吸引力。从下面自拍的人通常希望看起来更大、更强壮，而从上面往下看的白人则希望看起来更短、更甜美。)”可知，本段主要讲拍摄的位置也会显示出我们的性格。而B项The position of the camera is also important.(相机的位置也很重要。)符合语境，对下文有总括作用。故选B项。 5. 由上文“Next time you grab your smartphone, hold on for a moment. (下次拿起智能手机时，请稍等。)”可知，这里主要建议下次拍照时需要先思考下，而D项Think about what your next post is really saying about you!(想想你的下一篇帖子到底在说什么！)符合语境，有承上作用。故选D项。 二、 进阶练习 Passage 6 （23-24高二下·河南许昌·期末）Make More Time for Music Are you one of those people who loves listening to music? Do you listen to it whenever you can? If so, you’re doing something good for your mind and body. 1 It just might make you happier, healthier, and it could even make you a better student. Music can make you smile, sing along, or get up and dance. These experiences are proof of music’s power. In fact, scientists believe that music makes people happier. Valorie N. Salimpoor at McGill University has studied music and the human brain. She has proven that listening to pleasant music causes positive changes in the brain. 2 And those feelings make a person happy. Music isn’t just good for your mind and mood, though. It’s also good for your body. A group of scientists from Spain and Brazil have studied how music affects runners. The scientists found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat. 3 Still not convinced that listening to music is good for you? 4 Scientists in Finland have shown that music helps students. Listening to music can help you when you’re learning something new. It can also help you better remember what you’ve learned. Students who listened to background music during a test answered more test questions. They got more of the answers correct too. 5 It’s a powerful force that can make our lives better. It can improve our mood, our health, and even our grades. In short, it’s good for you. So make time for music. You won’t regret it! A．Music is more than just a pleasant art.

(音乐不仅仅是一门令人愉快的艺术。)”恰当地总结了音乐不仅仅是一种令人愉悦的艺术形式，暗示了其对情绪、健康乃至学业成绩的广泛益处，因此答案是 A。 Passage 7 （23-24高二下·辽宁鞍山·阶段练习）In the world of art and creativity, there are countless materials that artists use to express their ideas and emotions.

They spend much time and money securing the right soundtrack (配乐) for an advertisement in order to boost sales. 2 It expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source. Music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. It can result in enhanced attention, a positive emotional response and improved brand recall. Thus, it contributes to the effectiveness of an advertisement. Take the visually simple but interesting advertisement for Air France, with the soundtrack of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23, for example. 3 The advertisers hope that viewers will associate those qualities with the airline. Hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising suggested it was successful. Music is also effective at triggering feelings of nostalgia (怀旧之情). The emotional memories music arouses in advertisements serves as a reminder of consumers’ past experiences. 4 However, the use of popular music in advertising can also cause arguments around the tension between artistic effort and commercialism. Consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements. 5 For example, Nike’s use of Beatles’ song Revolution was seen by some as using Lennon’s lyrics to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products. A．It highlights greatness and elegance. B．Music is the facilitator of advertising. C．Music helps cut down the cost of advertising. D．This, in turn, helps business reap commercial benefit. E．They believe that doing this destroys the beauty of music.

In this way, a small object will appear greater than life-size in a photo. Pick up rain drops on a spider’s web or capture a bee landing on a flower. 2 . ·Find the best shooting time 3 . It’s just best to avoid extremes ——a shadow or lots of natural sunlight can produce great results. Experiment taking photos at different times of day to see how the light affects your photographs. 4 Although the delete button can be your best friend if you have an overexposed photo, using certain functions of the camera will help you avoid unstable, out-of-focus, or blurred(模糊的)images the first time around. ●Compose the best outdoor photo It’s important to accurately compose the landscape you’re shooting. 5 . Instead, think twice about what has captured your attention, and find the best location to place your main subject in the picture. It’s good to avoid too much unnecessary space in the frame. A．Experiment with cameras’ functions B．Practice holding your camera steadily C．There are photo opportunities everywhere D．Carefully observe the animals you are filming E．Thus, it can help show the beauty we might miss in everyday life F．There are no hard and fast rules when it’s suitable for photography G．Don’t just shoot the first thing you see or from the first angle you look at it 【答案】1.

It can calm your spirit and help you vent (发泄) your anger. 1 . But there’s one surprising yet well-documented effect that has really surprised people. Music lessons are very good for language comprehension — and they might even be better than reading lessons. 2 . But in this new study from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), researchers were able to see music lessons improve word comprehension right before their eyes. Led by Robert Desimone, the director of McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the team tested 74 children between the ages of four and five to see how their growing language skills were affected by piano lessons. The 74 participants were divided into three groups. 3 . The other two had their weekly academic lessons supplemented with three 45-minute lessons per week — the first got piano lessons and the second took part in reading lessons. What are the results? The ones who received a little extra learning every week outperformed those who just continued on with their normal studies. 4 . Perhaps even more surprisingly, the children who took the music lessons even outperformed the ones who took the reading lessons when it came to telling the difference between two words that were very similar. “That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” Desimone said in a statement. “They really benefited from that.” To the researchers, the results point to one clear conclusion: 5 A．It can even be used to improve your memory. B．It can bring people together and give us hope. C．Music benefits students in multiple ways. D．The control group simply carried on with their normal school classes. E．Many studies have shown a close link between musical training and language skills. F．If you’re a school administrator who wants kids to succeed, you’d better not cut those music lessons. G．Even the ones who only took music lessons turned out to perform better on language puzzles than those who didn’t have extra lessons. 【答案】1. A 2. E 3. D 4. G 5.

Dance as medicine There’s actually a lot more happening inside the brain when trying to follow even the simplest choreography (舞蹈设计). “In dance, we have to learn patterns, think symmetrically (对称地) and asymmetrically, and remember sequences,” says David Leventhal, a programme director. 2 Tasks like navigating the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if they are regarded as choreography. 3 In addition to the physical and neurological benefits, dance can also help people living with disease accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Rather than trying to control, or “fix” our body, dance is about developing greater body awareness and moving at our capacity, regardless of physical or cognitive difference. Dance as community 4 Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their abilities when dealing with neurological and movement disorders, it also helps to combat the loneliness and social isolation of living with a chronic illness. Still, researchers say they’re only scratching the surface of understanding how dance can be used therapeutically. 5 Additional studies are also needed to pinpoint the most effective types of dance movements and the optimal length and frequency of classes. It’s also unclear who would benefit most, in terms of age or disease progression. A．Dance as body acceptance B．Dance as brain improvement C．The effect extends beyond the dance class to the real world. D．Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. E．Basically, dancing requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive exercises. F．So what is it about dance that’s different from a brisk walk or other aerobic exercises? G．Larger studies are needed to confirm the findings of the smaller trials that have been done so far. 【答案】1. F 2. C 3. A 4. D 5.

For almost a century, Disney, initiated by Walt Disney himself, has been synonymous with storytelling, imagination, and dreams-come-true. But what’s the journey behind this global empire of happiness? Founded in 1923 by Walt and Roy O. Disney, the company started as a small animation studio in the back of a real estate office in Los Angeles. 1 The creation of the beloved Mickey Mouse in 1928 marked the beginning of Disney’s ascent to fame. This iconic character not only helped the company regain its footing after a business setback but also paved the way for the world of animation as we know it. Disney’s first full-length animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, premiered in 1937. 2 Its success proved that storytelling combined with animation had the power to touch the hearts of audiences worldwide, setting the foundation for a series of masterpieces that followed. Disneyland, opened in 1955, was Walt’s most ambitious venture (经营项目). 3 Termed as “The Happiest Place on Earth”, this theme park was built upon a narrative, each attraction telling its own story, making it a pioneering effort in the world of amusement parks. It wasn’t just about rides, but an experience of stories coming to life. With Walt’s death in 1966, there were doubts about the future of the company. 4 Today, Disney is not just about animation or theme parks. With its acquisition of entities like Marvel and Lucasfilm, it’s a major player in global entertainment. Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” 5 Disney remains a testament to the power of dreams, imagination, and pursuit, lighting up lives across generations and geographies. A．The transformation from a humble beginning to a global business came with both achievements and challenges. B．Each turn in the park promises a leap into fantasy, ensuring the magic is felt at every corner. C．This venture greatly changed the landscape of cinematic history. D．Though faced with initial skepticism, the park became an instant success. E．Over the decades, it has redefined entertainment, proving that stories have no boundaries. F．However, despite initial uncertainties in leadership and direction, the enterprise continued to grow. G．It’s a universe of stories, where every character, every song, and every ride have a heart and soul. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. F 5.

However, due to today’s rapid social changes, the art form is becoming more and more isolated, especially from younger generations. Peking opera actress Dong Yuanyuan proposed integrating the art of Peking opera with digital technology to vie (争夺) for more young audience. 1 In November 2021, the Digital Mei Lanfang project was launched in Beijing. The late Mei Lanfang (1894 —1961) was famous for creating and acting in numerous renowned Peking opera plays. 2 “I got very excited and emotional when I saw that Master Mei was ‘really talking’ to us on stage,” Dong said. In 2022, a Peking opera film was also shot with the virtual techniques. This has provided a very different experience for opera-lovers and aroused the interest of some young people. 3 In addition, more flexible means should be adopted to promote Peking opera. Dong suggests that traditional artistic elements, such as tunes from Peking opera, could also be used in pop songs in an ancient Chinese style. 4 They have not only helped audience familiarize with Peking opera, but also popularized the art form in a way easily accepted by young people. A digital human is a human being that exists in the digital world. It is created by making digital copies of the movements of the target and then accurately reconstructing the figure in the digital world. 5 When making the digital image of Master Mei, it was very difficult to imitate his facial expressions and voice as well as the materials his costumes were made out of since they had been lost to time.

C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了通过数字技术传承传统京剧文化的种种方法，这些途径取得的成效以及实施过程中遭遇的困难。 1. 根据上文“Peking opera is seen as a national treasure in China. However, due to today’s rapid social changes, the art form is becoming more and more isolated, especially from younger generations. Peking opera actress Dong Yuanyuan proposed integrating the art of Peking opera with digital technology to vie (争夺) for more young audience.(京剧在中国被视为国宝。然而，由于当今社会的快速变化，这种艺术形式正变得越来越孤立，尤其是与年轻一代隔绝。京剧演员董圆圆建议将京剧艺术与数字技术相结合，以吸引更多的年轻观众)”可知，本句位于第一段段末，且E选项中的“this”代指原文中的“integrating the art of Peking opera with digital technology”置于第一段段末与上文衔接自然。E选项“这可能是解决这一问题最有效的方法之一”符合语境。故选E。 2. 根据上文“The late Mei Lanfang (1894—1961) was famous for creating and acting in numerous renowned Peking opera plays.(已故的梅兰芳(1894-1961)因创作和出演了许多著名的京剧而闻名)”以及后文““I got very excited and emotional when I saw that Master Mei was ‘really talking’ to us on stage,” Dong said.(董圆圆说：“当我看到梅大师在舞台上和我们‘真正地交谈’时，我感到非常兴奋和激动。”)”可知，本句主要提出梅兰芳是如何再次出现的，故F选项“现在，数字技术让他再次出现在观众面前”符合语境。故选F。 3. 根据上文“In 2022, a Peking opera film was also shot with the virtual techniques. This has provided a very different experience for opera-lovers and aroused the interest of some young people.(2022年，一部京剧电影也采用虚拟技术拍摄。这为京剧爱好者提供了一种非常不同的体验，也引起了一些年轻人的兴趣)”可知，由虚拟现实技术制作的京剧电影获得了巨大成功，故A选项“结果很令人满意”符合语境。故选A。 4. 根据上文“In addition, more flexible means should be adopted to promote Peking opera. Dong suggests that traditional artistic elements, such as tunes from Peking opera, could also be used in pop songs in an ancient Chinese style.(此外，应该采取更灵活的方式来推广京剧。董圆圆建议，传统的艺术元素，比如京剧的曲调，也可以用在中国古代风格的流行歌曲中)”可知京剧的曲调也可以用在中国古代风格的流行歌曲中，再结合后文“They have not only helped audience familiarize with Peking opera, but also popularized the art form in a way easily accepted by young people.(它们不仅帮助观众熟悉京剧，而且以一种容易被年轻人接受的方式推广了这一艺术形式)”可知，本句主要说明后文提到的帮助观众熟悉京剧的事物（与歌曲相关），下文中“They ”指代的是G选项中的“a dozen such songs”，而G选项中的“a dozen such songs”指的是上文提到的“pop songs that used traditional artistic elements, such as tunes from Peking opera,  in an ancient Chinese style”，故G选项“到目前为止，已经有十几首这样的歌曲深受年轻人的欢迎”置于此处前后衔接自然。故选G。 5. 根据下文“When making the digital image of Master Mei, it was very difficult to imitate his facial expressions and voice as well as the materials his costumes were made out of since they had been lost to time. (在制作梅大师的数字形象时，由于他的面部表情和声音以及他的服装材料都已失传，很难模仿)”可知下文主要叙述了制作梅兰芳数字形象过程中遇到的种种困难，而上文“A digital human is a human being that exists in the digital world. It is created by making digital copies of the movements of the target and then accurately reconstructing the figure in the digital world.(数字人是指存在于数字世界中的人。它是通过对目标的运动进行数字复制，然后在数字世界中精确地重建人物形象而创建的)”主要介绍了制作数字形象的方法，可知此处表示转折，C选项“然而，有许多障碍需要克服”符合语境。故选C。 Passage 15 （23-24高二下·安徽淮南·期中）Do you know that singing along to your favorite song can lift your mood and make you happy? Why do you think they play songs at the gym while you're working out? 1 Regarding learning, these harmonies can stimulate the brain to help with literacy (读写能力). Here are a few ways those jazzy beats can help with your child's reading. Music strengthens attention and focus In early childhood, many parents find that keeping the focus and attention of their child is impossible. Their brain still has much learning and calming to do, so it can make reading a challenge. Musical training helps them focus, as it requires much attention. You may play some songs while they are cleaning and doing other chores. 2 Music enhances memory Kids can remember anything except when you tell them to clean their room. Experts have discovered that melodies (旋律) are a great way to help link emotion and memory. For your child to develop comprehension skills, they need their mind to be sharp. 3 And they will better understand learning concepts. Music expands the vocabulary Early childhood requires your kid to learn new words. These words are based on their experiences. When you expose your child to certain melodies, it has a powerful effect on their little mind. 4 From classic tunes to hip-hop and jazz, your kid will grow their vocabulary and apply what they learn to their education. 5 When your child learned to walk, they fell more than they took steps. They had to practice before they ever developed the ability. In early childhood, good practice habits are essential for reading and many other things. Your child can enhance their learning abilities by engaging in music. Music can inspire your children and push them to practice more. Finally, they will learn the fact that practice makes perfect.
