Willard is a famous British sculptor (雕刻家). The things he creates are so small that you can see them clearly only through a microscope (显微镜). Many people want to own his art pieces. At every one of his exhibitions, the question is always the same: How does he do it?
The answer is very, very carefully. In fact, he slows his breaths (呼吸) down and works in between breaths. Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates. To paint his works, he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush. Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process (过程), and it isn’t always enjoyable. “It is a terrible dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish,” he says. A single work can take at least several weeks to complete.
People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort (努力) and took time. His interest in creating small things began when he was five. He started creating houses and playgrounds for ants. Willard was not a strong student. He had difficulty in reading and spelling words. Some kids used to call him a loser. This made him feel small, so focusing on little things helped him to feel big. The smaller his work got, the bigger he felt. A newspaper reporter said, “Willard has shown the world that he is unique.”
46. What difficulty did Willard have as a child?
A He had no interest in art. B. He was not good at reading and spelling.
C. He was forced to create houses for ants. D. His teachers didn’t like him.
47. What tool does Willard use to paint his works?
A. A microscope. B. A fly’s hair. C. A common brush. D. A big expensive brush.
48. Why does the newspaper reporter call Willard “unique”?
A. He uses common materials for his art. B. He creates the smallest artwork in history.
C. He proved his talent despite (尽管) difficulties. D. He invented a new type of art.
49. How long does it take Willard to complete a single work?
A. A few hours. B. Several days. C. At least several weeks. D. Over a year.
50. The underlined word “big” in the passage most closely means ________.
A. beautiful B. strange C. successful D. bored
51. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To explain the process of creating small things.
B. To encourage readers to have difficult hobbies.
C. To show Willard’s perseverance (毅力) and success.
D. To discuss the challenges of using microscopes in art.
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语):(共6分)

China’s rich cultural traditions are gaining global recognition. On Dec. 4, 2024, the Spring Festival was successfully added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录). This tells us the importance of p___58___ traditional customs in modern society.
During the Spring Festival, families gather to c___59___ the Chinese New Year. Yet, some worry that young people are losing touch with these traditions. For example, in a village in Shandong, an elderly woman spent days preparing hand-made jiaozi, but her grandchildren showed little i___60___ in learning the skill. They preferred watching videos on their phones.
The UNESCO listing has made people start to try hard to promote cultural education. Schools now organize activities like paper-cutting and lantern-making. H___61___, challenges remain. A survey shows that 60% of teenagers can’t accurately e___62___ the story of Nian, the mythical (神话的) beast behind Chinese New Year traditions. Teachers say students often mix up customs or describe them incorrectly, focusing more on holiday gifts t___63___ cultural meanings.
Despite these issues, the Spring Festival’s global status (地位) has brought us pride. A Beijing student shared, “Seeing foreigners try jiaozi or write spring couplets makes me p___64___ of our special culture.” Experts believe balancing tradition and modernity is key to keeping heritage alive. This UNESCO success reminds us that cultural roots shape our identity and connect generations.

Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)
Our art teacher George was leaving soon for his country. I was preparing a special gift for him. It was a hand-drawn picture book about our school. I worked a long time, trying to make each picture as perfect as possible.
One day, I was drawing while my little sister Becky was watching with curiosity (好奇). Just then, my classmate Jeff dropped by.
“Hi! Peter, want to play basketball in the yard?” he asked.
“I’d like to, but it’s too cold outside” I replied.
“Exactly!” Jeff said. “It’s the perfect weather for not getting too hot.”
That’s a cool thing about Jeff. He always looks on the bright side of almost everything.
“Let’s go!” We went out, leaving the drawings on the table.
We laughed as we returned. When I opened the door, my heart nearly stopped. Right there, Becky was coloring my pictures.
“Stop, Becky!” I rushed to her, but it was too late. Almost every page was colored.
“What did you do?” I shouted angrily.
“I just wanted to help,” she began to cry.
“My drawings are gone forever!” I felt sad and looked at Jeff for help.
“Unless...” said Jeff.
“Unless what?” I asked.
“Remember the jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏)? We can create something new from these messy pictures,” Jeff suggested.
“Can we make it?” I doubted.
“I’m not sure, but we can have a try,” He encouraged.
First, we cut the drawings into shapes, such as our brown teaching buildings and green playground. Then, we put all these pieces together and made a jigsaw. Finally, we even added more paints. Days later, a beautiful “school” appeared in front of us.
There was a happy ending. George smiled and said, “__________”.
So, you see, there lies a beam of light behind every dark cloud.

_____________________________________
66. What did Jeff think of the weather when they played basketball?
_____________________________________

An Unforgettable Festival
The most unforgettable festival I experienced was the Spring Festival last year. On that day my family decorated the house with red lanterns and paper cuttings. We cooked dumplings together and enjoyed a big family reunion dinner. At night, we set off fireworks in the yard, lighting up the dark sky with colorful sparks.This festival was special because my grandparents, who live far away, came to celebrate with us. Their laughter and stories made the day warm and happy. Even though the fireworks faded quickly, the joy of being together stayed in my heart forever.
