Gan devoted his life to creating delicate lacquer-ware pieces while reviving some elements of the craft that were close to being lost. He aims to promote this ancient art form to new heights while preserving its essence and maintaining China's world-class standards. Lacquer-ware, an ancient decorative technique, involves coating objects with natural juice from lacquer trees. China is considered its birthplace, as evidenced by findings from the Jingtoushan site in East China's Zhejiang province, revealing that ancient Chinese were among the first to apply lacquer tree sap some 8,000 years ago. Creating lacquer-ware demands patience and preciseness. A single piece requires at least three to four months,or even a year, to complete. The process involves multiple steps — forming the base, sanding, applying coats of colored lacquer, drying, repeating lacquer coats, and drying dozens of times, followed by sanding the finish,buffing, and polishing— resulting in a brilliant surface with dynamic patterns in contrasting shades. Gan's journey began at a local arts and crafts factory from 1979 to 1986, where he gained deep insights into the glowing craft's heritage. He found that although it originated in China, a concerning gap exists between China's traditional lacquer techniques and contemporary works, particularly compared to Japan's modern lacquer mastery. This realization inspired Gan to conduct deep research. “Made-in-China lacquer-ware should stand equal to, if not surpass, any other lacquer-ware globally,” Gan says. Determined to glorify Chinese lacquer-ware to its deserved reputation, Gan embarked on an artistic quest. The 20-character depiction that guided Gan states:“There are patterns like floating clouds, round flowers, and overlapping pine bark textures. There are pieces with a glossy red surface, pursued as the beauty of extreme smoothness.” Gan recalls his early efforts to create an antique-style insstone box based on ancient texts:“I knew what I needed to achieve, but the path was unclear. Each failed attempt meant grinding off the surface and repainting countless times.” 4. What can be inferred from the creation of lacquer-ware? A. Haste means waste. B. Better late than never. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. The early bird catches the worm. 5. What is Gan's attitude towards lacquer-ware? A. He hardly relied on ancient techniques to make lacquer-ware. B. He thought the techniques used in China were already the best. C. He dedicated himself to creating decorative pieces without traditions. D. He was determined to promote China's traditional lacquer-ware techniques. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Gan? A. Innovative. B. Open-minded. C. Dedicated. D. Conservative. 7. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To explain the detailed steps in creating lacquer-ware. B. To showcase Gan's journey with Chinese heritage and his efforts, C. To highlight the gap between traditional and modern lacquer-ware. D. To introduce the importance of Chinese lacquer-ware: 2 C In recent years, scientists have discovered interesting things about animals that suggest they might have awareness: bees have been seen playing with wooden balls, which suggests they might do things just for fun. Similarly, wrasses have shown signs of recognizing themselves in mirrors. They react to their own reflections as if they see themselves as other fish,a behavior previously thought to be seen only in more complex animals,mammals for instance. Octopuses have also awed researchers with behaviors that suggest they understand their environment and remember past experiences. They avoid places where they' ve been hurt before, showing memory and decision-making based on past events. These discoveries, made in the last five years, show evidence that many species, not just mammals and birds, may have some level of consciousness and personal experiences. Prompted by these findings, a group of top researchers working on animal cognition came together to issue“The New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness”.This declaration states that birds and mammals definitely experience consciousness and that there's a realistic possibility that all vertebrates(脊椎动物), including reptiles,amphibians, and fish, share this trait(特点). It also suggests that even animals without backbones, like insects, might also have some form of consciousness. This shift challenges the long-standing scientific belief that animals are purely mechanical beings without emotions or awareness. It marks a new era where recognizing and understanding the potential awareness of animals could affect how we ethically and legally treat them.Laws about animal welfare,which have historically focused on visible behaviors rather than internal experiences may need to change to reflect this new understanding. Jonathan Birch, a philosophy professor involved in the declaration, mentioned the excitement among researchers about studying animal minds. He emphasized the importance of considering animals' ability to sense their surroundings, feel emotions, and possibly have self-awareness. This broader perspective not only improves our scientific knowledge but also raises important ethical questions about how we interact with and care for the animals that share our world. 8. What have scientists discovered recently? A. More animals might possess awareness. B. Birds have some level of consciousness. C. Sea animals are smarter than mammals. D. Bees play with wooden balls unconsciously. 9. What does the underlined phrase“Prompted by” mean in paragraph 3? A. Warned by. B. Shocked by. C. Driven by. D. Discouraged by. 10. What can be inferred from the shift in paragraph 4? A. Animals were thought to be emotional. B. Intense animal protection is expected. C. Animals were neglected and mistreated. D. Regulations may begin to consider animals' inner world. 11. Why does the author mention Birch's words in the end? A. To prove the declaration to be correct. B. To analyze how animals' sensation works. C. To highlight the significance of the discovery. D. To call on people to protect endangered animals. 3 D Have you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a brightly colored cheeseburger, or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of lively shades and hues(色调) of sweet treats?If so, you are in good company.Unless we are medically instructed or strictly dieting, we are not likely to keep away from the attraction of the food by simply realizing its shortage of nutritional value. Devina Wadhera and Elizabeth D. Capaldi-Phillips in“A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food”recognize the impact of sensory cues(信号) on food consumption and enjoyment,and the potential they have to encourage healthy eating behavior. They cite previous research in providing some interesting examples of the visual impact of different color schemes(方案) on appetite and food enjoyment. They note that pink food on a white plate is considered sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate. Apparently, we consume with more of our senses than we realize. So given the rainbow of colors around us when faced with so many appealing food choices, is there any way to control our appetite? Thankfully, some research says yes. Oliver Genschow proved that when it comes to eating less, colors impact consumption. They researched the effect of the color red and found that people ate fewer pretzels when using a red plate, as opposed to white or blue,and drank less from a red cup than a blue. cup. They suggest that the color red reduces food and drink intake by functioning as a stop signal. But when it comes to healthy eating, instead of putting on a pair of sunglasses to block the attractive colors of food, consider the value of discipline. Healthy eating involves intentional choices, not mindless responses to sensory cues. And before you invest in red tableware to slim down, remember that what goes onto those plates is much more important. 12. What may be a major reason for us to refuse eye-catching food? A. The doctor's instructions. B. The shortage of nutrition. C. Advertisements everywhere D. The rich color of food display. 13. What might be dealt with in“A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food”? A. Benefits of different color schemes. B. Interesting examples of food service. C. Effects of sensory cues on food choices. D. Potentials to encourage food consumption. 14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph? A. Avoid any colorful food. B. Make proper food choices. C. Follow the sensory response. D. Wear sunglasses to block colors. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Colors Help You Control Weight B. Color Schemes Make People Confused C. The Rainbow of Colors Is the Best Seller D. Colors Impact Food Attraction and Appetite 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逾项。 One of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Charles Duhigg published a new book, in which he concluded common characteristics of“supercommunicators”— people who are consistently able to create authentic connections with others just by listening and talking. 16 Here is a set of skills recommended by Duhigg that can help. you. 17 If you are having a practical conversation, be ready to give good advice.

These little bugs were always her nightmare. So when Ms. Castle assigned topics for the school science fair(展览会), the least thing Anna wanted was the beetles.But the paper placed on her desk read - - Science topic: Beetle; Partner: Tali Perkins. Anna couldn't believe her bad luck. Actually, Anna felt great pressure when she was with Tali, the smartest girl in class. According to Ms. Castle, there were mainly two tasks — to create a display and to talk about the subject in front of others at the fair. The next day, Tali ran up to Anna and showered her with all sorts of information about beetles and even suggested that they catch live beetles in the park for display. Anna's mouth dropped open at this idea, but Tali walked away before she could say anything. After an inner battle, Anna felt her feeling also counted, so she sent Tali an email and clearly explained her fear of beetles, hoping dead specimens(标本) would be used for the display. Surprisingly, Tali replied to the email instantly. She apologized for not realizing Anna's panic earlier and shared her fear of speaking in public. “We both have our own fears. But I do think a live beetleedwith can win us extra points. So why don't we help each other, like real partners?” It never. occurred to Anna that someone as excellent as Tali could also have fears. Considering there was no better choice, Anna came to accept Tali's offer. The following days, Tali prepared Anna with dozens of colorful pictures of beetles to help her get used to them, while Anna helped Tali get over her fear by practising their presentation together. Although the thought of catching live beetles still seemed scary, Anna finally decided to give it a try and joined Tali to the park. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
