Our Teen Confidence Workshop is an interactive online program which helps teens grow in confidence and determination in a supportive virtual community.(在杰出青年，我们致力于提升青少年的信心，这是他们未来成功的关键。我们的青少年信心研讨会是一个互动的在线项目，帮助青少年在一个支持性的虚拟社区中增强信心和决心。)”可知，该工作坊的目的是建立青少年的自信。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中的“Cost”部分，当参与人数为5-10人时，每位参与者的价格为65美元。因此，一个6人团队的总费用为6人乘以每人65美元，即390美元。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中的“How We Teach”部分，特别是“Our teaching philosophy emphasizes ‘Learning by Doing.’ After a brief theoretical introduction, we focus on hands-on application. We believe that true confidence comes from practice and experience, not just from textbooks or videos.(我们的教学理念强调“在实践中学习”。在简单的理论介绍之后，我们将重点放在实际应用上。我们相信真正的自信来自实践和经验，而不仅仅是来自课本或视频。)”可知，工作室的教学理念强调的是“在实践中学习”即该工作坊主要采用体验式学习的教学方法。故选B。 B At 93, Doreen Hynd effortlessly keeps busy with cooking, dancing, and teaching her students across different places. Active in life, she credits her energy to her lifelong practice of Tai Chi. Hynd praises Tai Chi for developing awareness of peacefulness, inviting the body, mind and inner consciousness to work together, and offering an experience of lightness and strength. Born in Australia Doreen Hynd started her Tai Chi training at the University of Sydney in the 1980s. After moving to the United States in 1984, she sought out Sophia Delza, who had studied under Ma Yueh Liang, a respected Tai Chi master in China for many years. After Delza passed away, Hynd, who had become Delza’s teaching assistant, continued to promote Tai Chi culture. Reflecting on her mission, she states, “I have always wanted to bring it to the whole world. Tai Chi has stood the test of time for centuries in Chinese culture.” “A lot of the classes I teach are for retired people, which has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my life,” Hynd shared. Over her 24 years of teaching Tai Chi, she has witnessed miracles (奇迹), such as a student with serious brain damage recovering memories after a year of practice, despite doctors considering it impossible. “Some students in poor health learned about me through the college I worked at in Canada, and they’ve stayed with me since,” she added, smiling broadly. When asked about using Tai Chi for self-defense, Hynd expressed a preference for connecting with someone approaching aggressively, even if it meant risking her life. She prioritizes forming connections over fighting. According to Cao Guozhong, a great Tai Chi master, Hynd has absorbed the essence of Chinese culture through Tai Chi. “Hynd loves to listen carefully to others, approach them with understanding, and transform enemies into friends,” Cao Guozhong explained. “She reflects the philosophy found in the ancient Chinese text, I Ching, which discusses change in the world.” 4. What does Doreen Hynd think of Tai Chi? A. Active and effortless. B. Demanding and powerful. C. Energetic and practical. D. Calming and integrative. 5. Why did Hynd decide to promote Tai Chi culture? A. She wanted to follow Delza. B. She valued its timeless quality. C. She considered it part of her study. D. She benefited considerably from it. 6. Which aspect of Tai Chi is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Its target group. B. Its health advantage. C. Its growing popularity. D. Its underlying principle. 7. Why did Cao Guozhong mention I Ching? A. To support his point. B. To praise Hynd’s efforts. C. To spread his philosophy. D. To highlight Hynd’s change. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了93岁的Doreen Hynd通过太极保持活力，并积极推广中国太极文化的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Hynd praises Tai Chi for developing awareness of peacefulness, inviting the body, mind and inner consciousness to work together, and offering an experience of lightness and strength.(Hynd赞扬太极培养了平静意识，邀请身体、心灵和内在意识共同努力，并提供了一种轻盈和力量的体验)”可知，Hynd认为太极有助于培养平静的意识，使身体、心灵和内在意识协同工作。由此可知，她认为太极是使人平静且整合的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Reflecting on her mission, she states, “I have always wanted to bring it to the whole world. Tai Chi has stood the test of time for centuries in Chinese culture.”(回顾她的使命，她说：“我一直想把它带到全世界。太极拳在中国文化中经受住了几个世纪的时间考验。”)”可知，Hynd决定推广太极文化的原因是她认为太极文化在中国文化中经受住了时间的考验，具有永不过时的品质。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““A lot of the classes I teach are for retired people, which has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my life,” Hynd shared. Over her 24 years of teaching Tai Chi, she has witnessed miracles (奇迹), such as a student with serious brain damage recovering memories after a year of practice, despite doctors considering it impossible. “Some students in poor health learned about me through the college I worked at in Canada, and they’ve stayed with me since,” she added, smiling broadly.(“我教的很多课程都是为退休人员开设的，这是我生活中最鼓舞人心的方面之一，”Hynd分享道。在她24年的太极拳教学中，她目睹了奇迹，例如，一名患有严重脑损伤的学生在经过一年的练习后恢复了记忆，尽管医生认为这是不可能的。“一些健康状况不佳的学生通过我在加拿大工作的大学了解了我，从那以后他们一直和我在一起，”她补充道，笑容满面)”可知，本段举例说明太极让一个脑部受伤的学生恢复了记忆、改善了一些学生的健康状况。由此可知，本段主要讨论的是太极对健康的好处。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Cao Guozhong, a great Tai Chi master, Hynd has absorbed the essence of Chinese culture through Tai Chi. “Hynd loves to listen carefully to others, approach them with understanding, and transform enemies into friends,” Cao Guozhong explained. “She reflects the philosophy found in the ancient Chinese text, I Ching, which discusses change in the world.”(据伟大的太极大师曹国忠介绍，Hynd通过太极吸收了中国文化的精髓。曹国忠解释说：“Hynd喜欢认真倾听他人，以理解的态度接近他们，把敌人变成朋友。”。她反映了中国古代《易经》中关于世界变化的哲学思想)”可知，曹国忠认为Hynd通过太极吸收了中国文化的精髓，接着作者直接引用曹国忠的话来加以印证。由此可知，曹国忠提到《易经》是为了支持、证明他前面提到的观点。故选A。 C Most artwork displayed in a typical art gallery includes beautiful landscapes and people as we’re drawn to beautiful things. Artwork that does not fit typical beauty standards is reserved for terrible themes, existing only to remind us of the terrible parts of life that we prefer not to think about. The University’s Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) exhibited“Beyond Beauty”, an exhibition showcasing artwork that does not fit the “perfect” beauty standards of other art. Preconceived (先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what “Beyond Beauty” seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition. Each piece describes humans as less-than-perfect in the traditional sense, with the collection including the “ugly side” of society like interpretations of death and social ills, and has an enormous power, producing strong emotional responses. Some artists are found not to steer clear of the depressing themes modern society and museums rarely choose. One striking work displayed in the exhibition is “Constellated in Brief and Darkly” by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi, which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital (先天性的) abnormality. The development of“Beyond Beauty” started with the installation of a clown (小丑) painting. Visitors were forced to consider a colorful, unconventional painting alongside old master artworks. The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes. Others found the painting to be engaging, which improved their museum experience. Now, Condo’s “The Clown” sits at the front of the exhibition, welcoming visitors in. After this visit, they may consider “ugliness” not as something to be rejected, but something that is to be welcomed. As today’s society sets impossible beauty standards, it’s as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form, and public views of “ugly” do not tell the whole story. Without the inclusion of the “ugly” side, we lose the descriptions that define entire groups of people and time periods. 8. What is the feature of artworks in the exhibition? A They are completed imperfectly. B. They show negative aspects of humanity. C. They fit preconceived views of art. D. They focus on the unnoticeable social ills. 9. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear of” mean in paragraph 3? A. Appreciate. B. Understand. C. Avoid. D. Criticize. 10. What can be known about the clown painting? A. It is from an old master. B. It receives mixed reviews. C. It sets a new standard for art. D. It is about society’s problems. 11. What does the author say about ugliness? A. It takes several different forms. B. Welcoming it is simple for the public. C. It is more common than beauty. D. The general opinion on it is one-sided. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了通常艺术画廊所展出的艺术作品都包含美丽的事物，而MAG推出了一个打破传统美学标准的艺术展览“不止于美” (Beyond Beauty)，展示了一系列不符合“完美”美学标准的艺术作品，旨在让人们摆脱固有观念，正确认识“丑”对社会的意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Preconceived (先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what “Beyond Beauty” seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition. Each piece describes humans as less-than-perfect in the traditional sense, with the collection including the “ugly side” of society like interpretations of death and social ills, and has an enormous power, producing strong emotional responses.(“不止于美”试图通过用令人不舒服的描述包围游客改变对艺术和美的先入为主的看法，每一件作品都描述了传统意义上的不完美的人类，包括对死亡和社会弊病的解释等社会“丑陋的一面”，具有巨大的力量，产生强烈的情感反应。)”可知，本次展览作品的特点是它们展示了人性的消极方面。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语句中“Some artists are found not to…the depressing themes modern society and museums rarely choose.( 一些艺术家被发现并没有……现代社会和博物馆很少选择的令人沮丧的主题。)”以及下一句“One striking work displayed in the exhibition is “Constellated in Brief and Darkly” by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi, which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital (先天性的) abnormality.( 展览中展出的一件引人注目的作品是版画家Rosemarie Bernardi的《constated in Brief and Darkly》，它展示了对医疗实践现实的深刻洞察，并引发了围绕先天性异常这一复杂而痛苦的主题的讨论。)”可知，有些艺术家并不回避那些压抑的主题。故可猜测划线短语steer clear of为“回避，避开”的意思，结合选项C项Avoid“避免”意思一致。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes. Others found the painting to be engaging, which improved their museum experience.( MAG收到了来自游客的评论，他们建议将这些可怕的艺术品远离他们喜爱的传统风景。其他人则认为这幅画很吸引人，这改善了他们的博物馆体验。)”可知，关于这幅画的评价褒贬不一。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As today’s society sets impossible beauty standards, it’s as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form, and public views of “ugly” do not tell the whole story. Without the inclusion of the “ugly” side, we lose the descriptions that define entire groups of people and time periods.( 由于当今社会设定了不可能的审美标准，所以我们必须记住，美并不只有一种形式，公众对“丑”的看法并不能说明一切。如果不包含“丑陋”的一面，我们就失去了定义整个人群和时间段的描述。)”可知，公众对“丑陋”的看法并不能说明事情的全貌。如果没有包含“丑陋”的一面，我们就会失去定义整个群体和历史时期的描述。由此可知，作者认为公众对丑陋的看法是片面的。故选D。 D People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful- plastics have on human lives and the environment. As polymer (聚合物) scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems, we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in. Everyday items including milk jug, grocery bags, and takeout containers are made from a class of polymers called polyolefins. These plastics are really durable (耐用的) because the chemical bonds in those polymers are extremely stable. In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake. In a study published in Science in October 2023 we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single, long molecule (分子) creates what’s called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types. Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling. So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the plastics the world relies on. We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning plastics? A. Their multiple uses. B. Their chemical properties. C. Their recycling challenges. D. Their classification criteria. 13. A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is ______. A. mixing building blocks with long molecules B. integrating chemicals into the two polymers C. combining two different multiblock polymers D. adjusting the percentage of the two polymers 14. Which is a feature of multiblock polymers? A. They are made from sustainable materials. B. They can be recycled by adding hydrogen. C. Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics. D. Their properties change with rounds of recycling. 15. Which of the following might be the best title? A. Designing for Recycling B. Classifying Plastic Waste C. Replace Plastics with Polymers D. Technology Creates the Future 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了聚合物科学家如何致力于解决塑料废物问题，通过重新设计聚合物的结构以实现其可回收性。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“ In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake.(在一次性物品的世界中，耐用性不再是一个设计特征，而是一个设计缺陷。想象一下，如果今天使用的一半塑料可以通过两倍于现在的过程进行回收。此外，传统的回收需要对所有收集到的材料进行仔细的分类，这对于这么多不同的塑料来说是具有挑战性的。例如，将纸和金属分开并不需要复杂的技术，但将一个容器和一个牛奶罐中不同的聚烯烃进行分类却很难做到没有偶尔的错误。)”可知，文章第二段主要讲述的是关于塑料回收的挑战。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single, long molecule (分子) creates what’s called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types.(在2023年10月发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究中，我们描述了一系列聚合物，它们只有两种基本成分——一种软聚合物和一种硬聚合物——它们的行为像聚烯烃，但可以化学回收。将两种不同的聚合物多次连接，直到它们形成一个单一的长分子，就形成了所谓的多嵌段聚合物。通过改变多嵌段聚合物中每种聚合物的含量，我们的团队生产出了各种各样的材料，其性能涵盖了所有类型的聚烯烃。)”可知，生产多种多嵌段聚合物的关键因素是调整两种聚合物的含量。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling. (使用相同的策略，但通过添加氢，我们可以将聚合物分离回它们的组成部分，并轻松地将它们分离出来再次使用。当我们用这些回收塑料制成新的聚合物时，即使经过几轮化学回收，它们的性能也和原始材料一样好。)”可知，多嵌段聚合物可以通过添加氢的方式被分离出来再次使用。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful- plastics have on human lives and the environment. As polymer (聚台物) scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems, we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in.(人们已经开始了解塑料对人类生活和环境的巨大影响，既有有益的，也有有害的。聚合物科学家致力于为现实世界的问题发明可持续的解决方案，我们开始通过重新思考聚合物的设计方式来解决塑料垃圾问题，这样我们就可以制造出具有可回收性的塑料。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了聚合物科学家如何通过重新设计聚合物的结构来解决塑料废物问题，以实现其可回收性。文章强调了设计的重要性，并介绍了如何通过特殊的化学方法制造和回收一种新型的多嵌段聚合物。因此，最能概括文章主题的标题应该是强调“设计”和“回收”这两个关键词的。故选A。 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。 Looking for a job where you can make a difference?

C. was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (餐饮区) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened his mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one to take action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food at the food court. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My neighbor was the only one to take action. He stood up, walked over to the newcomer, and gently offered him the steaming bowl of soup. The old man’s eyes lit up with surprise and gratitude as he accepted the unexpected kindness. My neighbor then returned to his seat, satisfied with his decision to share his meal. The atmosphere in the subway station seemed to warm up a little, as if the kindness had spread like a ripple in a pond. People around started to smile, and the tension in the air disappeared. I felt a sense of admiration for my neighbor, who had chosen compassion over indifference. Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food at the food court. I realized that true generosity often comes from those who have the least to give. My neighbor, despite his own hardships, had shown a level of kindness and selflessness. I decided to follow his example and bought a few extra meals, handing them out to the needy around me. As I walked away, I felt a sense of fulfillment and warmth. The experience reminded me that even in the coldest of days, a simple act of kindness can light up someone’s world and bring warmth to the coldest heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者在地铁站的所见所感为线索，讲述了一位流浪汉在得到食物后，选择将食物分享给另一位更需要的老人，展现了人性的善良与温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的邻居是唯一采取行动的人。”可知，第一段可描写作者旁边的流浪汉将手中的热汤分享给刚进来的老人，老人感到惊喜和感激，周围的气氛也因此变得温暖起来。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我去餐饮区买食物时，泪水模糊了我的视线。”可知，第二段可描写作者被流浪汉的善良所感动，意识到真正的慷慨往往来自那些拥有最少的人，并决定效仿他，将买来的食物分发给周围需要帮助的人。 2.续写线索：流浪汉分享热汤——老人感到惊喜和感激——气氛变暖作者感动——作者买食物分发——作者感到满足和温暖 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①给予：offer/give ②购买：buy/purchase ③分发：hand out/distribute 情绪类： ①惊喜：surprise/astonishment ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness ③满足的：satisfied/content 【点睛】[高分句型1] The old man’s eyes lit up with surprise and gratitude as he accepted the unexpected kindness.(运用了从属连词as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] I realized that true generosity often comes from those who have the least to give.

B At 93, Doreen Hynd effortlessly keeps busy with cooking, dancing, and teaching her students across different places. Active in life, she credits her energy to her lifelong practice of Tai Chi. Hynd praises Tai Chi for developing awareness of peacefulness, inviting the body, mind and inner consciousness to work together, and offering an experience of lightness and strength. Born in Australia, Doreen Hynd started her Tai Chi training at the University of Sydney in the 1980s. After moving to the United States in 1984, she sought out Sophia Delza, who had studied under Ma Yueh Liang, a respected Tai Chi master in China for many years. After Delza passed away, Hynd, who had become Delza’s teaching assistant, continued to promote Tai Chi culture. Reflecting on her mission, she states, “I have always wanted to bring it to the whole world. Tai Chi has stood the test of time for centuries in Chinese culture.” “A lot of the classes I teach are for retired people, which has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my life,” Hynd shared. Over her 24 years of teaching Tai Chi, she has witnessed miracles (奇迹), such as a student with serious brain damage recovering memories after a year of practice, despite doctors considering it impossible. “Some students in poor health learned about me through the college I worked at in Canada, and they’ve stayed with me since,” she added, smiling broadly. When asked about using Tai Chi for self-defense, Hynd expressed a preference for connecting with someone approaching aggressively, even if it meant risking her life. She prioritizes forming connections over fighting. According to Cao Guozhong, a great Tai Chi master, Hynd has absorbed the essence of Chinese culture through Tai Chi. “Hynd loves to listen carefully to others, approach them with understanding, and transform enemies into friends,” Cao Guozhong explained. “She reflects the philosophy found in the ancient Chinese text, I Ching, which discusses change in the world.” 4. What does Doreen Hynd think of Tai Chi? A. Active and effortless. B. Demanding and powerful. C. Energetic and practical. D. Calming and integrative. 5. Why did Hynd decide to promote Tai Chi culture? A. She wanted to follow Delza. B. She valued its timeless quality. C. She considered it part of her study. D. She benefited considerably from it. 6. Which aspect of Tai Chi is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Its target group. B. Its health advantage. C. Its growing popularity. D. Its underlying principle. 7. Why did Cao Guozhong mention I Ching? A. To support his point. B. To praise Hynd’s efforts. C. To spread his philosophy. D. To highlight Hynd’s change. C Most artwork displayed in a typical art gallery includes beautiful landscapes and people as we’re drawn to beautiful things. Artwork that does not fit typical beauty standards is reserved for terrible themes, existing only to remind us of the terrible parts of life that we prefer not to think about. The University’s Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) exhibited“Beyond Beauty”, an exhibition showcasing artwork that does not fit the “perfect” beauty standards of other art. Preconceived (先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what “Beyond Beauty” seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition. Each piece describes humans as less-than-perfect in the traditional sense, with the collection including the “ugly side” of society like interpretations of death and social ills, and has an enormous power, producing strong emotional responses. Some artists are found not to steer clear of the depressing themes modern society and museums rarely choose. One striking work displayed in the exhibition is “Constellated in Brief and Darkly” by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi, which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital (先天性的) abnormality. The development of“Beyond Beauty” started with the installation of a clown (小丑) painting. Visitors were forced to consider a colorful, unconventional painting alongside old master artworks. The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes. Others found the painting to be engaging, which improved their museum experience. Now, Condo’s “The Clown” sits at the front of the exhibition, welcoming visitors in. After this visit, they may consider “ugliness” not as something to be rejected, but something that is to be welcomed. As today’s society sets impossible beauty standards, it’s as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form, and public views of “ugly” do not tell the whole story. Without the inclusion of the “ugly” side, we lose the descriptions that define entire groups of people and time periods. 8. What is the feature of artworks in the exhibition? A. They are completed imperfectly. B. They show negative aspects of humanity. C. They fit preconceived views of art. D. They focus on the unnoticeable social ills. 9. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear of” mean in paragraph 3? A. Appreciate. B. Understand. C. Avoid. D. Criticize. 10. What can be known about the clown painting? A. It is from an old master. B. It receives mixed reviews. C. It sets a new standard for art. D. It is about society’s problems. 11. What does the author say about ugliness? A. It takes several different forms. B. Welcoming it is simple for the public. C. It is more common than beauty. D. The general opinion on it is one-sided. D People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful- plastics have on human lives and the environment. As polymer (聚合物) scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems, we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in. Everyday items including milk jug, grocery bags, and takeout containers are made from a class of polymers called polyolefins. These plastics are really durable (耐用的) because the chemical bonds in those polymers are extremely stable. In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake. In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single, long molecule (分子) creates what’s called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types. Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling. So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the plastics the world relies on. We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning plastics? A. Their multiple uses. B. Their chemical properties. C. Their recycling challenges. D. Their classification criteria. 13. A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is ______. A. mixing building blocks with long molecules B. integrating chemicals into the two polymers C. combining two different multiblock polymers D. adjusting the percentage of the two polymers 14. Which is a feature of multiblock polymers? A. They are made from sustainable materials. B. They can be recycled by adding hydrogen. C. Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics. D. Their properties change with rounds of recycling. 15. Which of the following might be the best title? A. Designing for Recycling B. Classifying Plastic Waste C. Replace Plastics with Polymers D. Technology Creates the Future 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。 Looking for a job where you can make a difference?

C. was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (餐饮区) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened his mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one to take action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food at the food court. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
