Born in 1982,Zacatelco learned how to create art from her grandfather in Oaxaca.At the time, her grandfather lived with her while her mother worked.Together,the two spent hours going out to the central plaza in Juchitan,where she let her senses take over."You can see the food,you can smell it,you can see the lady selling flowers,and you can see everything,"she recalled excitedly.When she was six years old,her grandfather gave her a piece of paper and watercolors and showed her how to put the colors on it.She hasn't stopped making art since. Zacatelco's grandparents made chess pieces out of rocks and wood to sell.They also made Talavera pottery pieces,which Zacatelco described as"a Baroque tradition"that one might see in old colonial(殖民地的)homes.She no longer has any of her grandparent's Talavera-"the tradition was lost due to being poorly paid and a lot of effort going into each piece." In the 1990s,Zacatelco's mother decided to move her family to give them a better life.She moved her children to Mexico City,then to the Bronx,and then to the Brownsville neighborhood in Eastern Brooklyn.The family moved to Fair Haven,where Zacatelco still lives,in 2001.She called it the perfect place to raise two boys and two girls.Her family did not keep any of her grandfather's old art before he died.But his artistic spirit did not die with him.Zacatelco carries on his legacy today with her art. 24.How is paragraph I developed?

The lesson on cyber wellness(网络健康)is part of the new Character and Citizenship Education (CCE)curriculum that was rolled out to younger secondary students in 2021.It was extended to older secondary students in the following years. "During the CCE lessons,we look at contemporary issues under different authentic scenarios( )When faced with this kind of scenario,students get to hear what their peers feel or believe in And then they will learn from each other how to manage situations through collective discussions," said Madam Wan Fazithahariani,a senior teacher at the school."Teachers just facilitate discussion and bring up some interesting points or management skills that they can use.Hopefully,when they're out there,they will be able to manage on their own." In a lesson,the students discussed negative comments received by an influencer.When asked how they would respond or whether they would choose to respond if they were an influencer,the class decided after some discussion that they would leave a positive comment in reply to a negative one. They then discussed their decision,how they felt about the comments,and how they would respond when their positive comment caused even more backlashes () "It was shocking to them that even though they chose a positive comment,the backlash could be quite strong.We asked them,'How does that make you feel?Do you regret choosing to make a positive comment?""said Madam Wan."And we were pleased to note even though they received negative comments,they still decided to make a positive impact.Because they knew if they chose a negative comment,they would perpetuate (negativity among the cyber community." "Contrary to five years ago,students are now facing great pressure online,"Madam Wan said, adding that it was“imperative(迫切的)”to introduce these new situations because students must be able to address numerous challenges that previous generations of students did not encounter. 28.What does the lesson focus on? A.Preventing"cancel"culture at school. B.Giving psychological guidance to students. C.Teaching students to extend their online influence. 第4页共8页 D Helping students handle the challenges they face online. 29.What is a feature of the lesson? A.It invites some influencers to the class. B.It is based on various real-life situations. C.It iargets younger secondary students D.It stresses outdoor interactions among students. 30.How would the students react to the backlashes that followed their positive responses? A.They would stick to positive comments. B.They would seek help from their teacher. C.They would switch to negative comments. D.They would turn a blind eye to the backlashes. 31.What is Madam Wan's attitude toward the lesson? A.Worried B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Conservative. D A lack of scientific evidence has led some to question whether herbs used in traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs)actually relieve people's illnesses.A new study,published in the journal Science Advances,might start to challenge that view.Scientists have developed a new tool that could be used to predict the effectiveness of these herbs.They've begun to confirm some of its predictions using clinical data from patients treated in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. "To our knowledge,this is the first scientific theory to explain how a traditional medicine system works,"lead study author Xiao Gan,a researcher at the Nanjing University of Information Science Technology in China said. In the new study,the authors looked at genes (thought to be responsible for causing specific symptoms()of disease.They relied on an already published dataset that connected the dots between disease symptoms and the underlying genes and proteins that give rise to those illnesses. Pulling this data together,the researchers were able to score how well these herbs might relieve specific symptoms of the disease.These scores were based on how close the herbs'target proteins were to the proteins associated with various symptoms. The authors then compared their predictions to herbs recognized by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as effective against specific disease symptoms.They also used the model to review prescriptions( that patients at the Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Wuhan received while being treated for liver disease.Gan said the herbs that they identified as effective from the two data sources supported their model's predictions.The authors also used their model to identify potential new applications for the herbs,beyond what's already recommended by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Testing natural products in clinical trials can be costly,so it is helpful to use computer simulations to identify potential drug targets,said Xiang-Qun Xie,a professor at the University of Pittsburgh.Xie pointed out more data are needed to support these findings and that it would be useful to study how TCM herbs and modern medications may interact in patients who take them at the same time. 32.W hat is the purpose of the new study? A.To study the side effects of TCM herbs. B To analyze the genetic makeup of TCM herbs. C.To forecast the effectiveness of TCM herbs. D.To compare TCM herbs with modern medications. 33.How did the researchers score TCM herbs in the study? A.By analyzing their chemical makeup. B.By carrying out clinical trials on patients 第5页共8页 C.By asking patients about their experiences of using them. D.By comparing their target proteins with disease-related proteins. 34.What can be inferred about the study from paragraph 4? A Some TCM herbs tested by the model are rarely used. B.The model may be used to develop new medicines. C.The data sources used by the model are not big cnough. D.More models should be created to review prescriptions. 35.What might Xiang-Qun Xie agrec with? A Researchers should try to cut the cost of their study. B.It is necessary to find new ways to figure out potential drug targets. C.The weaknesses of computer simulations in drug development are ignored. D.The interaction between TCM herbs and modern medications needs to be studied. 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。 Skipping meals is bad news.For teens especially,eating all three meals,or smaller,more frequent meals throughout the day is healthiest.There are many reasons not to skip meals. Stay energized One of the primary reasons not to skip meals is that eating keeps you energized.You need to be awake for the note-taking and lecture-listening you plan on doing throughout the day.36. Keep you focused I think it's pretty safe to say that when teens are hungry,they're only thinking about one thing: food!I can remember dozens of days in class when a teacher was lecturing,and all I could do was stare at the wall imagining milkshakes and pizza because I skipped lunch.37.Instead, always fill up at breakfast and lunch so that you can focus in school throughout the day. 38 Skipping meals affects your mood,too!You get angry easily when you're hungry.If you want to be fun and have fun,make sure you're eating plenty of nutritious,filling meals. Start good habits Eating well-balanced meals at regular intervals(间隔时间)throughout the day is a great habit to start in high school!If you skip breakfast and lunch,then pig out at dinner,you're going to get accustomed to living that way.39.So do your body and future self a favor by forcing yourself to eat healthy meals throughout the day. It's not dieting 40.Diets that actually work balance healthy eating with exercise;they don't eliminate ()meals altogether.If you're unhappy with the way your body looks,talk to your parents and doctor about a healthy meal and exercise plan that might help you reach your goals. A.Improve your mood B.Don't make my mistake C.From ages 13 to 18,some girls keep growing D.However,that's not the way your body is meant to take in food E.You might think skipping meals is just"dieting",but in fact,it isn't F.Miss meals every once in a while simply because you're not hungry G.Your brain doesn't know how to function well without plenty of calories keeping you awake 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第6页共8页 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的人、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One afternoon,my son came home from school.He had a (n)41 look on his face.After asking him what was on his mind.he said,"Are all people the same even if their skin color is different?"

So,why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail?His reply: "Because I love your stories.If you're willing to apply yourself,I think you have a good shot at this." Encouraged by his words,I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject.Paul Revere was a silversmith (in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18,1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse's mouth.Not a brilliant idea,but funny,and unlikely to be anyone else's choice. What did the horse think,as he sped through the night?Did he get tired?Have doubts?Did he want to quit?I sympathized immediately.I got tired.I had doubts.I wanted to quit.But,like Revere's horse,I kept going.I worked hard.I checked my spelling.I asked my older sister to correct my grammar.I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library.I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher,he read it,laughed out loud,and said,"Great.Now, write it again."I wrote it again,and again and again.When I finally finished it,the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing.If I didn't win,I wouldn't care. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右 Paragraph 1:A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest,there came the news. Paragraph 2:I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. 第8页共8页
