Not only was she one of the few women artists of any nationality to succeed professionally in her time, but she was also the only American artist to exhibit with the French Impressionists, After mastering the require- ments of academic painting, Cassatt broke away from tradition and joined Edgar Degas, a close friend and guide, in the exhibition of Impressionist artists in 1879. Cassatt embraced the techniaue of the Impressionists while developing a highly accomplished individual style. Her indirect views, simplified forms, and flat compositions show the impact of Degas's work, as well as her study of Japanese prints. Cassatt created a personal language out of the grammar of Impressionism, Most often, she painted women like herself out and about in Paris. or at home, taking tea, reading, sewing, writing letters, and engaging in other familiar activities. Cassatt began to explore her distinctive theme-the mother and child-in 1sso. and made a specialty of it after 1893. Cassatt was a skilled artist, accomplished in oil painting as well as in making pastels(粉 彩) and prints. Initially, Cassatt worked primarily in oil, but by the early 1s9os, printmaking and work in pastels had become her central interests, thanks to Degas, who encouraged her experiments in these media. In all her paintings, pastels, and prints, she revealed herself to be a sensitive and honest witness to the lives of women and children at the end of the nineteenth century. Although Cassatt chose to live abroad for most of her adult life, she always considered herself an American. She was a frequent participant in art exhibitions in the United States. Her advice to American supporters of art, such as Louisine and H. O. Havemeyer, Alexander Cassatt, John G. Johnson, and Berthe Honore Palmer, helped to create some of the most remarkable and distinguished art collections in the world 24. Which is most likely one of Cassatt's works? A. A portrait of a man in a business suit. B. A painting of a busy New York street C. A pastel of a woman reading at home. D. A landscape of the French countryside. (高三年级)英语试卷第3页(共8页) 25.

He guided her in painting womcn and children 26. What was Cassatt's major contribution to American art? A. Hosting art exhibitions for artists in the U. S. B.

Mary Cassatt: Founder of Impressionist Art B. Mary Cassatt: Master of Still Life and Portraits C. Mary Cassatt: The First Female Impressionist Artist D. Mary Cassatt: American Impressionist and Innovator C When hearing the word "genius", many people automatically visualize a person with crazy and messy hair-someone like Albert Einstein, the famous scientist. They imagine the genius to be hurriedly writing calculations on a whiteboard, perhaps speaking to themselves as they work. This is a widespread idea of what a genius is like, but is it accurate? What makes a person a genius? Psychological studies define a genius as being a person with an above-average intelligence, and many researchers believe that an IQ(lntelligence Quotient) of above 14o indicates that a person has a high potential of genius. Research confirms that natural and inherited intellectual ability does play a role in determining genius, and statistics show that genius tendencies are frequently passed down from generation to generation. But is a person's natural intelligence strongly linked to genius? Many people who score highly on intelligence tests are not successful in everyday life, and they often do not display any above-average abilities. The 19th century British scientist, Sir Francis Galton, believed that the term"genius" could only be applied to someone who had accomplished a significant achieve ment. What mattered to Galton was not a person's potential ability, but how much a person could achieve with that ability. He considered characteristics such as passion and capacity to work hard as important to genius as intelligence. Some believe that genius may almost be a type of psychosis. It is a fact that some of the world's most celebrated intellectual geniuses display very poor social and emotional skills, and these people mirror the conventional image of the"mad scientist" genius. Others believe one can be a genius in one or two areas but not in others. They believe many people can have elements of genius-such as being a confident speaker or an excellent sportsman. At present there is nothing agreed upon definition of genius. However, it does appear that both genetic and environmental factors contribute toward creating a genius. 28. Why is Einstein mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To highlight his scientific breakthroughs. B. To list different definitions of intelligence C. To illustrate the common image of genius D. To explain the role of creativity in science (高三年级)英语试卷第4页(共8页) 29. What did Galton believe was important for defining a genius? A. A person's social skills. B. A person's natural intelligence. C. A person's potential ability. D. A person's major achievements. 30. What does the underlined word "psychosis" probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Heart disease. B. Mental illness. C. Emotional confusion D. Physical exhaustion 31. What can we learn about geniuses from the last paragraph? A. Geniuses think alike. B. Geniuses find their own ways. C. Geniuses are born and made. D. Geniuses are found in adversity. D A new study by MIT doctoral student Aidan Toner-Rodgers reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly boost productivity, challenging the contrasting views of economists Daron Acemoglu and David Autor. Daron Acemoglu, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who recently won the Nobel Prize in economics, worries that artificial intelligence will worsen income inequality and not do all that much for productivity. His friend and colleague David Autor is more hopeful, believing that AI could do just the opposite. Toner Rodgers' research, however, offers real-world evidence of AI's impact on the workforce. Both professors are praising it. “It's fantastic," said Acemoglu. “I was floored," said Autor. The study focused on the introduction of an AI tool to 1, o18 scientists at a materials science research lab. Historically, material discovery has been a slow, trial-and-error process. AI tools trained on existing materials improved this by generating compound(复合的) recipes based on desired properties. The results were remarkable: researchers discovered 44% more materials,filed 39% more patents, and produced 17% more prototypes(原型). Toner- Rodgers, initially unconvinced, admitted the outcomes exceeded his expectations. However, the study also highlighted differences. Top-performing researchers benefited more from AI, while others saw limited gains, potentially widening income inequality. Acemoglu noted that the lab's specialized AI tool might not translate broadly, unlike general- purpose models like ChatGPT. Despite productivity gains, 82% of scientists reported reduced job satisfaction, feeling AI took away the part of their jobs-dreaming up new compounds-they enjoyed most. One scientist remarked, "I couldn't help feeling that much of my education is now worthless." While the study highlights AI's potential to speed up innovation, it also raises concerns about uneven benefits and worker dissatisfaction. Autor remains optimistic, arguing that proper training could help workers adapt and reduce inequality. Toner-Rodgers' research marks a crucial step in understanding AI's complex impact on productivity and the workforce 32. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how AI improves lab productivity. B. To discuss Al's negative effects on workforce. C. To explain the details of Toner-Rodgers' study. D. To introduce a new study and contrasting views. 33. What do the percentages in paragraph 4 show? A. A clear advance in AI models. B. A significant boost in productivity. C. A huge improvement in existing materials. D. A striking enhancement in material quality (高三年级)英语试卷第5页(共8页) 34. What made scicntists less satisfied about their jobs? A. Limited productivity gains from A1. B. Restricted access to gencral Al models C. Reduccd involvement in creative design. D. Lower quality of education in scientific fields 35. What does the author think of Toner-Rodgers' research? A. 1t is of significant importance. B. It has some negative impacts. C. 1t is beneficial to Al's progress. D. It is complicated to understand. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 When we look at a forest, it's easy to see a collection of trees standing tall and separate. each seemingly independent. 36 Under the forest floor lies a hidden network-a web of roots and fungi(真荫) that allow trees to"talk"to each other. This system, often referred to as the "wood wide web", enables trees to support one another in ways that were once unimaginable. The primary way trees "talk" to each other is through their roots and an underground network called mycorrhizal(荫根)fungi. Attaching to tree roots, these fungi create a vast web that connects multiple trees within a forest. In exchange for sugars produced through photosynthesis(光合作用), the fungi provide trees with essential nutrients. 37 Through this underground system, trees share information and send signals. When a tree is attacked by harmful insects, it can release chemical messages through the network. 38 Then neighboring trees may strengthen their defenses by producing chemicals in their leaves to protect themselves. 39 Rather than managing individual trees, conservation efforts must foeus on preserving the forest's wholeness. Beyond that, reforestation efforts can benefit from under- standing tree communication. By planting diverse species and fostering the growth of mycorrhizal fungi, restoration projects can create ecosystems that are more self-sustaining. Understanding this hidden language shows us clearly that all living things on Earth are linked together. 4o By protecting these ecosystems, we protect not only trees but the complicated networks that support all life within them A. Not all trees communicate in the same way B. These chemical signals can act as warnings. C. But the messages trees send are not easy to find D. It also reminds us how critical forests are to keep life going. E. However, research reveals that trees are far from being alone. F. The idea of tree communication reshapes how we protect forests. G. This cooperation is the core of the forest's communication system. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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 When I turned twelve, my parents bought me a mobile phone. 41 , they were against the idea, but I 42 them that it would help them stay connected with me and know where 1 was.
