Leonardo da Vinci Often referred to as a “Renaissance man”, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) not only left behind notebooks filled with scientific observations and illustrations, but was also known for his works of art such as Virgin of the Rocks, Lady With an Ermine, Vitruvian Man, the Last Supper, the Mona Lisa. The last one still remains as the most visited work of art in the world. Michelangelo Buonarroti Known for his attention to detail and his knowledge of human body, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is celebrated as one of history’s finest sculptors. During his lifetime, the Florentine artist created several masterpieces admired for their lifelike details. These works include the iconic David (1501-1504) housed in Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia, the monumental Pieta (1513-1515) in the Vatican, and his series of Dying Slaves (1513-1515) located in the Louvre. Tiziano Vecelli Among the great names of the Italian Renaissance — Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino — there is also Tiziano Vecelli (1488-1576), the master of color. Sacred and Profane Love(1514) is one of the artist’s early paintings, which was made to commemorate (纪念) the marriage of the man who bought it. This work is an excellent example of Tiziano’s mastery of color. 1. Which is probably Leonardo da Vinci’s most popular artwork? A. Vitruvian Man. B. The Mona Lisa. C. The Last Supper. D. Virgin of the Rocks. 2. Where is Pieta permanently displayed? A. In the Louvre. B. In Sistine Chapel. C. In the Vatican. D. In Galleria dell’Accademia. 3. Who is best known for his skillful use of color? A. Tiziano Vecelli. B. Michelangelo Buonarroti. C. Leonardo da Vinci. D. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了三位文艺复兴时期艺术家及其作品。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Leonardo da Vinci部分中“Often referred to as a “Renaissance man”, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) not only left behind notebooks filled with scientific observations and illustrations, but was also known for his works of art such as Virgin of the Rocks, Lady With an Ermine, Vitruvian Man, the Last Supper, the Mona Lisa. The last one still remains as the most visited work of art in the world.(达·芬奇常被称为“文艺复兴时期的人”，他不仅留下了充满科学观察和插图的笔记本，而且还以他的艺术作品而闻名，如《岩间圣母》、《抱银鼠的女子》、《维特鲁威人》、《最后的晚餐》和《蒙娜丽莎》。最后一个仍然是世界上参观人数最多的艺术品)”可推断，《蒙娜丽莎》是他最流行的作品。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Michelangelo Buonarroti部分中“These works include the iconic David (1501-1504) housed in Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia, the monumental Pieta (1513-1515) in the Vatican, and his series of Dying Slaves (1513-1515) located in the Louvre.(这些作品包括收藏在佛罗伦萨学院美术馆的标志性作品《大卫》（1501-1504）、梵蒂冈的纪念性作品《圣母怜子》（1513-1515）、卢浮宫的《垂死的奴隶》系列（1513-1515）)”可知，Pieta是由梵蒂冈博物馆永久收藏的。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tiziano Vecelli部分中“Among the great names of the Italian Renaissance — Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino — there is also Tiziano Vecelli (1488-1576), the master of color.(在意大利文艺复兴时期的伟大人物中——列奥纳多·达·芬奇、米开朗基罗·博纳罗蒂、拉斐尔·桑齐奥·达·乌尔比诺——还有色彩大师蒂齐亚诺·维切利（1488-1576）)”可知，Tiziano Vecelli以其对色彩的熟练运用而闻名。故选A。 B NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 4. For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith? A. To prevent his being forgotten. B. To keep him up to date on his health. C. To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D. To tell him about a decision he had made. 5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A. Skills for running newspapers B. Work experience as a reporter. C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers. 6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives. C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Newspapers are dying B. A county saves a newspaper C. Friends help out a man in need D. A project breathes new life into a county 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了在乔治亚州奥格尔索普县，NeSmith和Maxwell为挽救当地有着近150年历史的报纸《The Oglethorpe Echo》所做出的努力，通过与乔治亚大学格雷迪学院的合作，使其成为学生实践的平台，并得以继续运营的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo.(2021年，Maxwell打电话给NeSmith，告诉他因为健康问题，他将关闭他的周报《The Oglethorpe Echo》)”可知，Maxwell打电话给NeSmith是为了告诉他自己做出的一个决定，也就是因为健康问题要关闭周报。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers.(Davis很喜欢这个主意，他和NeSmith以《The Echo》为基础开发了一门课程。学生们可以体验一个真正的新闻编辑室，这将成为他们职业生涯的垫脚石)”可知，格雷迪学院的学生能从《The Echo》中获得作为记者的工作经验。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.(当这种情况发生时，就意味着他们唯一的新闻来源和唯一能把人们团结在一起的东西正在消失)”可知，Johnston认为《The Echo》很重要是因为它团结了当地居民。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了在乔治亚州奥格尔索普县，NeSmith和Maxwell为挽救当地有着近150年历史的报纸《The Oglethorpe Echo》所做出的努力，通过与乔治亚大学格雷迪学院的合作，使其成为学生实践的平台，并得以继续运营的故事，所以选项B“一个县挽救了一份报纸”符合文意，最能概括文章内容。故选B。 C In 1973, when Melissa Greene was in 6th grade, her parents bought the first flat on Hutchinson Island. The first time she ran down to the wild shore, she was shocked by the contrast to their earlier beach trips to Daytona, a people-packed spectacle of cars. On Hutchinson, the spectacle was the seashells (海贝). Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds large whole shells. Among the most amazing natural objects, seashells represent both the surprise and wonder still promised by a trip to the beach - and the major changes underway on our coasts. Many of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (海洋软体动物) - the animal architects that build seashells - have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures, and by pollution and runoff from the land. And they can be displaced by the severe erosion (侵蚀) caused by inlets - a growing problem on Hutchinson Island - as well as efforts to repair eroded beaches by recovering lost sand. Twenty-five years ago, Sanibel Island became the first city in the U. S. to ban (禁止) “live shelling”, the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. The move to protect the individual lives of soft-bodied mollusks seems almost strange given ocean warming and other “tough realities of the changing world,” acknowledges José H. Leal, science director at Sanibel’s Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum. But helping beach goers appreciate the animals inside the shell as much as the shiny exterior turns out to be a crucial step toward helping them understand what’s happening in the sea, Leal says. “If people understand the complexity of these animals and their importance, they will also realize the need to protect marine environments.” Delaware Seashore State Park is taking so-called low-impact beach combing (赶海) a step further: asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At the park, signs advise visitors to leave shells where they lie or take a photo of a marine creature in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is that it is in a natural state. 8. What impressed Melissa Greene on Hutchinson Island when she was young? A. The seashells. B. The tourists. C. The flats. D. The cars. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The dangers marine mollusks face. B. The changes seashells have experienced. C. The efforts made to save marine mollusks. D. The current situation of Hutchinson Island. 10. What does José H. Leal think of banning “live shelling”? A. It slows down ocean warming. B. It keeps people away from beaches. C. It popularizes the collecting of seashells. D. It raises people’s awareness of ocean protection. 11. What is the purpose of Delaware Seashore State Park’s advice? A. To provide habitat for small creatures. B. To protect visitors from being harmed. C. To attract marine creatures to the beach. D. To preserve the natural state of the beach. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了海贝壳的现状及其面临的威胁，并探讨了保护海贝壳的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first time she ran down to the wild shore, she was shocked by the contrast to their earlier beach trips to Daytona, a people-packed spectacle of cars. On Hutchinson, the spectacle was the seashells (海贝). (当她第一次跑到荒凉的海岸时，她被与他们之前去代托纳海滩旅行的对比所震惊，那里挤满了人，到处都是汽车。在哈钦森岛上，最引人注目的是海贝。)”可知，当Melissa Greene第一次跑到哈钦森岛的野生海岸时，让她印象深刻的是那里的海贝。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Many of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (海洋软体动物) - the animal architects that build seashells - have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures, and by pollution and runoff from the land. And they can be displaced by the severe erosion (侵蚀) caused by inlets - a growing problem on Hutchinson Island - as well as efforts to repair eroded beaches by recovering lost sand. (许多最大和最著名的海洋软体动物——建造贝壳的动物建筑师——在捕捞压力下数量减少了。它们还受到海洋温度上升、污染和陆地径流的伤害。他们可能会因为进水口造成的严重侵蚀而流离失所——这是哈钦森岛日益严重的问题——以及通过回收流失的沙子来修复被侵蚀的海滩的努力。)”可知，许多大型且知名的海洋软体动物在捕鱼压力下数量减少，还受到海洋温度上升、陆地污染和径流的伤害，以及因海湾造成的严重侵蚀和修复侵蚀海滩的措施的影响，所以第三段主要讲的是海洋软体动物面临的危险（The dangers marine mollusks face）。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But helping beach goers appreciate the animals inside the shell as much as the shiny exterior turns out to be a crucial step toward helping them understand what’s happening in the sea, Leal says. “If people understand the complexity of these animals and their importance, they will also realize the need to protect marine environments.” (但Leal说，帮助海滩游客欣赏贝壳里的动物，就像欣赏闪亮的外表一样，是帮助他们了解海洋中正在发生的事情的关键一步。“如果人们了解这些动物的复杂性和它们的重要性，他们也会意识到保护海洋环境的必要性。”)”可知，José H. Leal认为禁止 “活贝壳采集” 能帮助海滩游客像欣赏贝壳闪亮的外表一样欣赏里面的动物，这是帮助他们了解海洋中正在发生的事情的关键一步，如果人们了解这些动物的复杂性和重要性，他们就会意识到保护海洋环境的必要性，所以他认为禁止 “活贝壳采集” 能提高人们的海洋保护意识（It raises people’s awareness of ocean protection）。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Delaware Seashore State Park is taking so-called low-impact beach combing (赶海) a step further: asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At the park, signs advise visitors to leave shells where they lie or take a photo of a marine creature in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is that it is in a natural state. (特拉华海岸州立公园（Delaware Seashore State Park）正在对所谓的低影响海滩进行更深入的梳理：要求游客也不要碰空贝壳。在公园里，指示牌建议游客把贝壳留在原地，或者给沙滩上的海洋生物拍照。毕竟，享受自然的意义在于它处于一种自然的状态。)”可知，特拉华州海滨州立公园让游客留下空贝壳，建议游客让贝壳留在原地或给沙滩上的海洋生物拍照，因为享受自然的关键是它处于自然状态，所以该公园建议的目的是保护海滩的自然状态（To preserve the natural state of the beach）。故选D项。 D One year ago, in an art competition at the Colorado State Fair in the United States, an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence (AI) called “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial” won the first prize in the digital art category and sparked discussions online. Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. When he shared his victory online, he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney — an AI program that turns text into images — to help create his piece, titled “Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial”. Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. At this year’s fair, which took place in Pueblo between August 26 and September 4, artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created using an Artificial Intelligence Generator,” according to this year’s requirements. Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement, telling the Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks. Despite the change, he decided to submit once again to the digital arts category. The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances. As ScottStoller, the fair’s general manager, tells the Denver Post, the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades. In the future, officials may even decide to add a separate AI category, depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become. “That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.” 12. What can be learnt about Jason Allen? A. He developed an AI program. B. He revised the rules of an arts contest. C. He won first place in an art competition. D. He was the leader of the Colorado State Fair. 13. What does the underlined word “tweak” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Select. B. Revise. C. Continue. D. Create. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. Allen broke the art competition rules. B. Some people thought Allen deserved the victory. C. Artists can’t use AI to make their entries. D. Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial was completely created by AI. 15. What’s Stoller’s attitude towards the AI artworks? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一年前，在美国科罗拉多州博览会的一项艺术竞赛中，一件由人工智能（AI）帮助创作的作品获得了数字艺术类别的一等奖，并在网上引发了讨论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. (这个故事始于去年8月，当时游戏设计师杰森·艾伦赢得了博览会数字艺术竞赛的冠军)”可知，他在艺术比赛中获得第一名。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. (据《丹佛邮报》的约翰·温泽尔报道，现在，这个有着151年历史的博览会的官员修改了比赛规则：艺术家必须声明他们是否使用了人工智能来制作作品)”以及第四段中划线词前文“His victory was controversial (有争议的) (他的胜利引起了争议)”可知，他的成功引起了争议，因此，官员们决定修改提交作品的要求，从而推知划线词意思是“修改”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. (艾伦坚持表示，他从一开始就公开使用人工智能，尽管评委们说他们直到事情发生后才得知。无论如何，当时并没有相关规定要求声明，这意味着艾伦并未违反任何规则)”及第四段中“His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. (他的胜利引发了争议——而现在，因此，官员们决定调整提交作品的要求)”可知，艾伦没有违反规则，他的胜利引发了争议，但并未明确说明有人反对他获奖，故可推测出有些人可能认为他的作品值得获奖，否则不会引发广泛的讨论。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.”(斯托勒说：“这就是艺术的美——它总是在不断发展。”“艺术可以是任何东西，任何东西都可以变成艺术)”可知，斯托勒对人工智能艺术品的态度是赞成的。故选C项。 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。 Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower. ___16___ !

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了做具有挑战性的事情的好处。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower.(做一些具有挑战性的事情需要勇气，承诺和意志力)”及空后“Whether it’s finding your dream job, learning a new skill or starting a new wellness routine, you’ll grow and learn along the way.(无论是找到你梦想中的工作，学习一项新技能，还是开始一项新的健康计划，你都会在这个过程中成长和学习)”可知，上文指出做一些具有挑战性的事情的困难之处，下文提到这样做的好处。由此推知，虽然做一些具有挑战性的事情有困难，但是它是值得的，会带来好处，A项“但是这很值得”符合语境。故选A。 17题详解】 根据空前“Resilience isn’t just a fixed quality that you’re bon with.(适应力不只是你与生俱来的一种固定品质)”及空后“The key: set small, attainable goals that push you a little outside of your comfort zone but still within reach.(关键是：设定小的、可实现的目标，让你稍微走出舒适区，但仍在力所能及的范围内)”可知，上文指出适应力不是与生俱来的，下文提出具体的练习方法。由此推知，空处是说适应力是可以通过练习培养出来的，D项“你也可通过训练让自己有适应力”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据下文“You may not realize how incredible you are until you overcome something difficult. Dealing with a challenge shows your strengths, maybe some you didn’t even know that you had! This self-awareness helps develop a sense of purpose. It also helps improve performance and leads to better decision-making.(直到你克服了困难，你才会意识到自己是多么的不可思议。应对挑战能显示出你的优势，也许有些是你自己都不知道的！这种自我意识有助于培养目标感。它还有助于提高绩效并导致更好的决策)”可知，本段是关于自我意识，B项“培养自我意识”适合作本段小标题。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“It teaches you self-confidence.(它教会你自信)”及空前“In other words, when things get difficult, you have the strength to continue forward, giving you a newfound sense of self-worth.(换句话说，当事情变得困难时，你有继续前进的力量，给你一种新的自我价值感)”可知，完成挑战会给你带来自信，G项“你会带着这种信心去面对未来的挑战”承接上文，符合语境，G项中“that confidence”呼应小标题中“self-confidence”，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空前“If you want to improve your fitness, you challenge your body to become stronger, right?(如果你想改善你的健康状况，你挑战你的身体让它变得更强壮，对吗？)”及空后“Challenging yourself helps you learn new skills that you improve over time with commitment and practice.(挑战自己可以帮助你学习新的技能，随着时间的推移，你可以通过承诺和实践来提高这些技能)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，由挑战身体变得更加健康过渡到挑战自身学习新技能，E项“同样的方法几乎适用于任何事情”符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Kenny Lake School in Copper, Alaska, is small, with about 60 students from kindergarten to high school seniors.

Kyle had a physical problem that made it difficult for him to move around like everyone else. He used crutches (拐杖) to walk, which sometimes made him a target for bullying (欺侮) by some unfriendly students. One day, a group of mean kids ran towards him, knocking all his books out of his arms, and he fell to the ground. His glasses flew off, and I saw them land on the ground about ten feet away from him. He looked up, and I saw deep sadness in his eyes. I felt sorry for him. So, I ran over to him, and as he searched for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. I gave him his glasses back and said, “Those guys are mean. They should find something better to do.” He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a really nice boy. We hung out every weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Despite his challenge, Kyle had a great spirit. He never let his difficulties define him and always faced them with bravery and a positive attitude. Kyle was the top student in our class. He was one of those guys who really grew a lot during high school. Sometimes I felt a bit envious. And the day when we held the graduation ceremony was one of those days. I could see that he was worried about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy! You’ll do great!!” He looked at me with that really grateful look and smiled. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat and began, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you get through the tough times. Your parents, your teachers, your brothers and sisters, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I’m here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I’m going to tell you a story.” 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。 I just looked at my friend in surprise as he told the story of the day we met. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I smiled back, tears in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I just looked at my friend in surprise as he told the story of the day we met. Kyle recalled that he had thought about running away over the weekend. He talked about how he had cleaned out his school’s locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. Meanwhile, I noticed he looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from making a big mistake.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this friendly, well-liked boy shared his vulnerable moment. When his eyes met mine, I could see tears shining in his smiling eyes. I smiled back, tears in my eyes. It wasn’t until that moment that I realized how much of a difference one small act of kindness had made to him. I even saw his mom and dad looking at me, smiling that same grateful smile. It hit me that we should never underestimate the power of our actions. With one small act, we can change a person’s life, for better or for worse. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Kyle的身体残疾，需要拄拐杖走路，这导致他经常遭到霸凌。一天，作者看到他拄着拐杖抱着书本走路，一群坏孩子把他的书故意撞掉，让他摔到了地上，作者帮助了他，这也成了他们友谊的开始。毕业典礼时Kyle在演讲中提到了作者那天帮助他的故事，这让作者明白了自己小小的善举竟然对他产生如此大的影响。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“我只是惊讶地看着我的朋友，那时他讲述了我们见面那天的故事。”可知，第一段可以描写Kyle讲述的那天发生的事情。 ②由续写第二段首句“我也笑了，眼里含着泪水。”可知，第二段可以描写作者的感受和感悟。 2. 段落续写：Kyle回忆和作者相遇的那天——感激作者——作者意识到自己的善举对Kyle意义重大——Kyle的父母也非常感激——作者感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①回忆：recall/look back on ②注意到：notice/spot/note ③对……产生影响：make a difference to/have an influence on 情绪类 ①惊讶地：in surprise/surprisedly ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】It wasn’t until that moment that I realized how much of a difference one small act of kindness had made to him.

Leonardo da Vinci Often referred to as a “Renaissance man”, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) not only left behind notebooks filled with scientific observations and illustrations, but was also known for his works of art such as Virgin of the Rocks, Lady With an Ermine, Vitruvian Man, the Last Supper, the Mona Lisa. The last one still remains as the most visited work of art in the world. Michelangelo Buonarroti Known for his attention to detail and his knowledge of human body, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is celebrated as one of history’s finest sculptors. During his lifetime, the Florentine artist created several masterpieces admired for their lifelike details. These works include the iconic David (1501-1504) housed in Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia, the monumental Pieta (1513-1515) in the Vatican, and his series of Dying Slaves (1513-1515) located in the Louvre. Tiziano Vecelli Among the great names of the Italian Renaissance — Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino — there is also Tiziano Vecelli (1488-1576), the master of color. Sacred and Profane Love(1514) is one of the artist’s early paintings, which was made to commemorate (纪念) the marriage of the man who bought it. This work is an excellent example of Tiziano’s mastery of color. 1. Which is probably Leonardo da Vinci’s most popular artwork? A. Vitruvian Man. B. The Mona Lisa. C. The Last Supper. D. Virgin of the Rocks. 2. Where is Pieta permanently displayed? A. In the Louvre. B. In Sistine Chapel. C. In the Vatican. D. In Galleria dell’Accademia. 3. Who is best known for his skillful use of color? A. Tiziano Vecelli. B. Michelangelo Buonarroti. C. Leonardo da Vinci. D. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. B NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 4. For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith? A. To prevent his being forgotten. B. To keep him up to date on his health. C. To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D. To tell him about a decision he had made. 5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A. Skills for running newspapers B. Work experience as a reporter. C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers. 6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives. C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Newspapers are dying B. A county saves a newspaper C. Friends help out a man in need D. A project breathes new life into a county C In 1973, when Melissa Greene was in 6th grade, her parents bought the first flat on Hutchinson Island. The first time she ran down to the wild shore, she was shocked by the contrast to their earlier beach trips to Daytona, a people-packed spectacle of cars. On Hutchinson, the spectacle was the seashells (海贝). Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds large whole shells. Among the most amazing natural objects, seashells represent both the surprise and wonder still promised by a trip to the beach - and the major changes underway on our coasts. Many of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (海洋软体动物) - the animal architects that build seashells - have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures, and by pollution and runoff from the land. And they can be displaced by the severe erosion (侵蚀) caused by inlets - a growing problem on Hutchinson Island - as well as efforts to repair eroded beaches by recovering lost sand. Twenty-five years ago, Sanibel Island became the first city in the U. S. to ban (禁止) “live shelling”, the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. The move to protect the individual lives of soft-bodied mollusks seems almost strange given ocean warming and other “tough realities of the changing world,” acknowledges José H. Leal, science director at Sanibel’s Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum. But helping beach goers appreciate the animals inside the shell as much as the shiny exterior turns out to be a crucial step toward helping them understand what’s happening in the sea, Leal says. “If people understand the complexity of these animals and their importance, they will also realize the need to protect marine environments.” Delaware Seashore State Park is taking so-called low-impact beach combing (赶海) a step further: asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At the park, signs advise visitors to leave shells where they lie or take a photo of a marine creature in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is that it is in a natural state. 8. What impressed Melissa Greene on Hutchinson Island when she was young? A. The seashells. B. The tourists. C. The flats. D. The cars. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The dangers marine mollusks face. B. The changes seashells have experienced. C. The efforts made to save marine mollusks. D. The current situation of Hutchinson Island. 10. What does José H. Leal think of banning “live shelling”? A. It slows down ocean warming. B. It keeps people away from beaches. C. It popularizes the collecting of seashells. D. It raises people’s awareness of ocean protection. 11. What is the purpose of Delaware Seashore State Park’s advice? A. To provide habitat for small creatures. B. To protect visitors from being harmed. C. To attract marine creatures to the beach. D. To preserve the natural state of the beach. D One year ago, in an art competition at the Colorado State Fair in the United States, an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence (AI) called “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial” won the first prize in the digital art category and sparked discussions online. Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. When he shared his victory online, he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney — an AI program that turns text into images — to help create his piece, titled “Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial”. Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. At this year’s fair, which took place in Pueblo between August 26 and September 4, artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created using an Artificial Intelligence Generator,” according to this year’s requirements. Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement, telling the Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks. Despite the change, he decided to submit once again to the digital arts category. The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances. As ScottStoller, the fair’s general manager, tells the Denver Post, the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades. In the future, officials may even decide to add a separate AI category, depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become. “That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.” 12. What can be learnt about Jason Allen? A. He developed an AI program. B. He revised the rules of an arts contest. C. He won first place in an art competition. D. He was the leader of the Colorado State Fair. 13. What does the underlined word “tweak” in paragraph 4 mean? A Select. B. Revise. C. Continue. D. Create. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. Allen broke the art competition rules. B Some people thought Allen deserved the victory. C. Artists can’t use AI to make their entries. D. Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial was completely created by AI. 15. What’s Stoller’s attitude towards the AI artworks? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Unconcerned. 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。 Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower. ___16___ !

His name was Kyle. Kyle had a physical problem that made it difficult for him to move around like everyone else. He used crutches (拐杖) to walk, which sometimes made him a target for bullying (欺侮) by some unfriendly students. One day, a group of mean kids ran towards him, knocking all his books out of his arms, and he fell to the ground. His glasses flew off, and I saw them land on the ground about ten feet away from him. He looked up, and I saw deep sadness in his eyes. I felt sorry for him. So, I ran over to him, and as he searched for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. I gave him his glasses back and said, “Those guys are mean. They should find something better to do.” He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a really nice boy. We hung out every weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Despite his challenge, Kyle had a great spirit. He never let his difficulties define him and always faced them with bravery and a positive attitude. Kyle was the top student in our class. He was one of those guys who really grew a lot during high school. Sometimes I felt a bit envious. And the day when we held the graduation ceremony was one of those days. I could see that he was worried about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy! You’ll do great!!” He looked at me with that really grateful look and smiled. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat and began, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you get through the tough times. Your parents, your teachers, your brothers and sisters, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I’m here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I’m going to tell you a story.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 I just looked at my friend in surprise as he told the story of the day we met. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I smiled back, tears in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
