A
Throughout history, there have been sculptors prized for their willingness to push boundaries. Without their contributions, it would be difficult to imagine visual art as we now know it. Here are several pioneers.
Gianlorenzo Bernini(1598-1680)
As a master of materials, Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini is known for his astonishing ability to create movement and bring forth emotion with his work. In his masterpiece, Pluto and Perse, the rough and cold stone has been turned into flesh that looks so real and soft that you just want to reach out and touch it.
Henry Moore(1898-1986)
Known for his abstract public sculpture, British artist Henry Moore’s works most often focus on the theme of mother and child, who usually sit or lie in a relaxed way, with their bodies leaning backwards. Moore’s figures are often composed of multiple pieces, yet his clean lines allow viewers to effectively see the figures within the abstract form. Such features are very obvious in his master piece Mother and Child.
Louise Bourgeois(1911-2010)
Most well-known for her public art, French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois rose to international fame in 1982 after the Museum of Modern Art held her first exhibit. By this time, she was already in her 70s. Drawing from her own life experience, her sculptures often explore themes of family and death. In her representative work, Maman, Bourgeois has used a spider to stand for her mother, who died when she was a child, to show her strength and protection over her family.
1. What can people feel from Pluto and Perse by Gianlorenzo Bernini?
A. Stone-like hardness. B. Flesh-like softness.
C. Astonishing mystery. D. Icy coldness.
2. Why did Louise Bourgeois use a spider in Maman?
A. To symbolize her mother. B. To express her fear of spiders.
C. To show her love for nature. D. To explore the theme of death.
3. What do the three artists have in common?
A. They lived in Europe all their lives.
B. They rose to fame for public sculptures.
C. They explored the identical theme.
D. They were known for artistic innovation.
B
Barbara Rieco, a woman with a firm desire to become an author, witnessed the realization of her long-prized dream this Christmas season. Her grandson, Chad Cooper, played a crucial role in making it happen.
Though Rieco authored the children’s book More! More! More! as early as in 1972, the path to publication had been filled with rejections for four decades. Nevertheless, she kept trying to publish this book. The concept of abandoning her dream simply has never crossed Rieco’s mind. The story of More! More! More! focuses on Prissy Miss and her exploration of gratitude and the power of make-believe. It draws inspiration from Rieco’s early years in a middle-class Philadelphia family and her later experiences at Project Head Start, where she was deeply touched by the sight of poverty and her desire to assist those in need grew.
Cooper, engaged in production and design, discovered a book file in his grandmother’s computer during one of his visits. After his grandmother told him the story about the book file, Cooper was moved by her perseverance (毅力), and due to the story’s potential, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Cooper self-published the book and enlisted (争取) the talent of illustrator Yuri Moyashi to vividly bring the story to life. After its release, the TikTok video recording the moment he presented the published book as a Christmas gift to Rieco has gained over 4 million views and 800,000 likes, causing an outpouring of admiration from viewers. Several hundred copies of the book were sold within a month, and it has an online presence on moremoremore.net.
Encouraged by this success, plans for an audio-book and a hardcover edition are underway. Rieco has other unpublished works that she is eager to pursue, and both she and Cooper are now determined to help others realize their dreams concerning writing. This heartwarming journey not only shows the power of perseverance but also the great impact of familial support in the pursuit of one’s creative ambitions.
4. What do we know about Barbara Rieco?
A. She suffered a tough childhood.
B. She possesses a strong determination.
C. She donated money to the poor people.
D. She attaches great importance to family
5. What may contribute to Cooper’s idea to publish the book?
A. Deep sympathy for his grandmother.
B. A responsibility to assist those in poverty.
C. Strong faith in the prospect of Rieco’s story.
D. An ambition to work with the talented illustrator.
6. Which of the following best describes the book’s publication?
A. Ground-breaking. B. Far-reaching.
C Distinctively-marked. D. Widely-welcomed.
7. What do Rieco and Cooper probably intend to do next?
A. Boost others’ dreams. B. Generate more writings.
C. Support others’ families. D. Promote her book online.
C
From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the disaster of stop-and-go traffic. Scientists are studying these insects’ remarkable teamwork to design smarter solutions for our roads — especially for future self-driving cars.
Traffic jams often start when roads become too crowded. At about 15 cars per mile per lane, even a slight brake tap can create a wave of traffic jam, similar to how liquid water suddenly freezes into ice. Yet ants move smoothly even in dense groups. Researchers studying Australian black ants discovered their secret: “Three No’s Rule” — no lane-switching, no sudden speeding, and no tailgating.
Humans, however, often make traffic worse. During rush hour, drivers tend to speed up, change lanes frequently, or follow too closely choices that prioritize individual goals over group efficiency. “This selfish behavior is why traffic jams form,” says engineer Nicola Pugno. But future self-driving cars could act more like ants. If connected through a network, autonomous vehicles might share real-time data to coordinate speeds and distances automatically. Like ants using scent trails to communicate, cars could form a cooperative system without a central leader — a design scientists call “resilient” and efficient.
Ants do have natural advantages. They can widen paths, climb over obstacles, and even walk on tunnel ceilings to avoid jams. Cars obviously can’t do this, but drivers today can still learn one key lesson: avoid tailgating. Leaving extra space ahead helps absorb braking waves that cause “phantom jams” mysterious traffic backups with no clear cause. Nishinari’s research shows that maintaining a 3-second gap in heavy traffic could reduce congestion by 40%.
While ants have perfected traffic flow over millions of years, humans are just beginning to catch up. By blending nature’s wisdom with technology, researchers hope to create roads where traffic moves as smoothly as an ant trail. As biologist Noa Pinter-Wollman notes, “Sometimes the simplest creatures hold the answers to our most complex problems.”
8. Why does the author compare traffic jams to water freezing into ice?
A. To emphasize we should learn from nature.
B. To explore the secrets of Australian black ants.
C. To blame selfish drivers for causing accidents.
D. To show traffic jams start suddenly under high density.
9. What does the word “resilient” most likely mean in paragraph 3?
A. Safe and silent. B. Complex and flexible.
C. Adaptable and stable. D. Cooperative and so.
10. What benefit does maintaining a 3-second gap in traffic provide?
A. It increases fuel efficiency by 40%.
B. It reduces traffic jam by nearly half.
C. It eliminates all“phantom jams”.
D. It allows cars to travel at higher speeds.
11. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How Traffic Engineering Reduces Accidents
B. Why Human Drivers Cause Traffic Jams
C. How Ants Teach Us to Solve Traffic Jams
D. Why Simplicity Can Solve Complex Problem
D
You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, and feeling full and satisfied, only to take a peek at the dessert menu and decide the cheesecake looks just irresistible. So why is it that you just absolutely couldn’t have another bite, but you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat?
Scientists now have a better understanding of the neural origins of this urge thanks to a recent study published in the journal Science. Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a scenario similar to the human experience described above.
In the experiment, mice were first given a standard meal after not eating for a day. They ate until they were full. Then, during a 30-minute “dessert” period, researchers offered either more of the same food or a high-sugar option. When given sugary food, the mice ate six times more calories than when offered regular food.
The researchers focused on POMC neurons in the hypothalamus, a brain region linked to feelings of fullness. They found that when mice ate sugary food, these neurons released beta-endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical that binds to opioid receptors in the brain, creating a sense of reward. This explains why we desire sweets even when full — sugar triggers a pleasure response in the brain.
When scientists blocked this opioid pathway, the mice avoided sugar. Similar neural activity was observed in humans, suggesting that our brains are wired to desire sugar. According to Henning Fenselau, a study author, this mechanism likely evolved to encourage the consumption of high-energy foods like sugar.
Other research has linked sugar to the brain’s dopamine (多巴 胺) system, with some studies suggesting long-term sugar consumption can have effects similar to addictive drugs. However, this study was short-term and didn’t examine long-term effects like weight gain or metabolic changes.
Dr. Paule Joseph a metabolism researcher, suggests that future studies should explore how these brain circuits function over time, especially with chronic sugar exposure. Understanding this reward pathway could help explain how overeating sugar contributes to obesity. This research sheds light on why we find desserts so irresistible, even when we’re full.
12. What is the main focus of the experiment?
A. Sugar-caused weight gain in mice.
B. Role of dopamine in food addiction.
C. Effects of not eating for a long time.
D. Neural basis of post-meal sweet desires.
13 Why did mice avoid sugar when the opioid pathway was blocked?
A. They lost their sense of taste.
B. They consumed too many calories.
C. The sugar reward response was removed.
D. Part of their brain was severely damaged.
14. In paragraph 5, what does “this mechanism” refer to?
A. Preference for high-energy foods.
B. Dopamine causing sugar addiction.
C. Fullness neurons releasing chemicals.
D. Sugar activating the brain’s reward system.
15. What does Dr. Paule Joseph suggest for future research?
A. Developing drugs to block urges for sugar immediately.
B. Studying how brain circuits change with long-term sugar intake.
C. Comparing sugar’s effects to those of addictive drugs.
D. Investigating why mice and humans have similar neural responses.

A Round Table
When I was still a little, my entire family would reunite on almost every traditional festival to have dinner. While the grownups were discussing about something beyond our comprehension, we kids would be running around or even crowd under the table to play hide-and-seek. When I got a bit older, my aunt brought back her boyfriend, a tall and a shy man. My grandma joyfully added another seat to the round table. ____16____When I was twelve, my grandma passed away because of cancer, but when the entire family reunite once again, her chair, her bowl and her chopsticks remain the same even though her seat was empty. ____17____
We all have a table like this in our homes. ____18____ It is a symbol of a reunion of our families representing our sentiment, and an attachment to our families.
____19____ In China, almost everything can be solved over a round table, then that marriage bells between a loving couple, the morning of the dead, the negotiations between business partners and a state banquet to another president from other country can all happen on a same round table.
So I start to wonder what is this round table to us, what it has been doing to us and its true significance starts to unfold in front of me. The food on the table may change with time. ____20____ The reason why we come together may be various, but the sensation behind it remains year after year the same, and that is our tolerance of different people or willingness to embrace different culture and artistic forms or care, and love, and respect for not only our family, but also for a community, our nation and even the whole world.
A. It was a bit crowded,yet we felt closer.
B. The people sitting beside it may come and go.
C. The round table has a unique meaning that ties us together.
D. These memories around the round table are truly precious.
E. These items gently filled the space of her absence.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This Friday brought a mix of emotions—both excitement and disappointment — all because of a flyer from school. When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?”
“A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.”
“Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.
I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up.
As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall.
“You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.

Barbara Rieco, a woman with a firm desire to become an author, witnessed the realization of her long-prized dream this Christmas season. Her grandson, Chad Cooper, played a crucial role in making it happen.
Though Rieco authored the children’s book More! More! More! as early as in 1972, the path to publication had been filled with rejections for four decades. Nevertheless, she kept trying to publish this book. The concept of abandoning her dream simply has never crossed Rieco’s mind. The story of More! More! More! focuses on Prissy Miss and her exploration of gratitude and the power of make-believe. It draws inspiration from Rieco’s early years in a middle-class Philadelphia family and her later experiences at Project Head Start, where she was deeply touched by the sight of poverty and her desire to assist those in need grew.
Cooper, engaged in production and design, discovered a book file in his grandmother’s computer during one of his visits. After his grandmother told him the story about the book file, Cooper was moved by her perseverance (毅力), and due to the story’s potential, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Cooper self-published the book and enlisted (争取) the talent of illustrator Yuri Moyashi to vividly bring the story to life. After its release, the TikTok video recording the moment he presented the published book as a Christmas gift to Rieco has gained over 4 million views and 800,000 likes, causing an outpouring of admiration from viewers. Several hundred copies of the book were sold within a month, and it has an online presence on moremoremore.net.
Encouraged by this success, plans for an audio-book and a hardcover edition are underway. Rieco has other unpublished works that she is eager to pursue, and both she and Cooper are now determined to help others realize their dreams concerning writing. This heartwarming journey not only shows the power of perseverance but also the great impact of familial support in the pursuit of one’s creative ambitions.
4. What do we know about Barbara Rieco?
A. She suffered a tough childhood.
B. She possesses a strong determination.
C. She donated money to the poor people.
D. She attaches great importance to family
5. What may contribute to Cooper’s idea to publish the book?
A. Deep sympathy for his grandmother.
B. A responsibility to assist those in poverty.
C. Strong faith in the prospect of Rieco’s story.
D. An ambition to work with the talented illustrator.
6. Which of the following best describes the book’s publication?

From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the disaster of stop-and-go traffic. Scientists are studying these insects’ remarkable teamwork to design smarter solutions for our roads — especially for future self-driving cars.
Traffic jams often start when roads become too crowded. At about 15 cars per mile per lane, even a slight brake tap can create a wave of traffic jam, similar to how liquid water suddenly freezes into ice. Yet ants move smoothly even in dense groups. Researchers studying Australian black ants discovered their secret: “Three No’s Rule” — no lane-switching, no sudden speeding, and no tailgating.
Humans, however, often make traffic worse. During rush hour, drivers tend to speed up, change lanes frequently, or follow too closely choices that prioritize individual goals over group efficiency. “This selfish behavior is why traffic jams form,” says engineer Nicola Pugno. But future self-driving cars could act more like ants. If connected through a network, autonomous vehicles might share real-time data to coordinate speeds and distances automatically. Like ants using scent trails to communicate, cars could form a cooperative system without a central leader — a design scientists call “resilient” and efficient.
Ants do have natural advantages. They can widen paths, climb over obstacles, and even walk on tunnel ceilings to avoid jams. Cars obviously can’t do this, but drivers today can still learn one key lesson: avoid tailgating. Leaving extra space ahead helps absorb braking waves that cause “phantom jams” mysterious traffic backups with no clear cause. Nishinari’s research shows that maintaining a 3-second gap in heavy traffic could reduce congestion by 40%.
While ants have perfected traffic flow over millions of years, humans are just beginning to catch up. By blending nature’s wisdom with technology, researchers hope to create roads where traffic moves as smoothly as an ant trail. As biologist Noa Pinter-Wollman notes, “Sometimes the simplest creatures hold the answers to our most complex problems.”
8. Why does the author compare traffic jams to water freezing into ice?
A. To emphasize we should learn from nature.
B. To explore the secrets of Australian black ants.
C. To blame selfish drivers for causing accidents.
D. To show traffic jams start suddenly under high density.
9. What does the word “resilient” most likely mean in paragraph 3?
A. Safe and silent. B. Complex and flexible.
C. Adaptable and stable. D. Cooperative and so.
10. What benefit does maintaining a 3-second gap in traffic provide?
A. It increases fuel efficiency by 40%.
B. It reduces traffic jam by nearly half.
C. It eliminates all“phantom jams”.
D. It allows cars to travel at higher speeds.
11. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How Traffic Engineering Reduces Accidents
B. Why Human Drivers Cause Traffic Jams
C. How Ants Teach Us to Solve Traffic Jams
D. Why Simplicity Can Solve Complex Problem
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了蚂蚁在交通方面的出色表现,科学家研究其团队协作,希望借鉴蚂蚁的“三不原则”为道路尤其是未来自动驾驶汽车设计更智能的解决方案。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Traffic jams often start when roads become too crowded. At about 15 cars per mile per lane, even a slight brake tap can create a wave of traffic jam, similar to how liquid water suddenly freezes into ice.(交通堵塞通常在道路变得过于拥挤时开始。在每条车道每英里约有15辆车的情况下,即使轻轻点一下刹车,也会造成一波交通堵塞,就像液态水突然结冰一样)”可知,作者将交通堵塞比作水结冰是为了说明在高密度情况下交通堵塞会突然开始。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Like ants using scent trails to communicate, cars could form a cooperative system without a central leader — a design scientists call ‘resilient’ and efficient.(就像蚂蚁利用气味痕迹进行交流一样,汽车可以形成一个没有中央领导者的合作系统——科学家称这种设计‘resilient’且高效)”可知,这种系统能像蚂蚁一样,即使没有中央领导也能很好地运作,说明它具有适应性和稳定性。所以“resilient”意思最可能是“适应性强且稳定的”,与C项“Adaptable and stable”意思相近。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Nishinari’s research shows that maintaining a 3-second gap in heavy traffic could reduce congestion by 40%.(西成的研究表明,在交通拥堵时保持3秒的车距可以减少40%的拥堵)”可知,在交通中保持3秒车距的好处是能将交通堵塞减少近一半。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Scientists are studying these insects’ remarkable teamwork to design smarter solutions for our roads — especially for future self-driving cars.(科学家们正在研究这些昆虫非凡的团队协作,为我们的道路设计更智能的解决方案——尤其是为未来的自动驾驶汽车)”可知,本文主要讲述了科学家从蚂蚁的交通行为中获取灵感,以解决人类的交通堵塞问题。所以C项“How Ants Teach Us to Solve Traffic Jams(蚂蚁如何教我们解决交通堵塞问题)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选C项。
D
You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, and feeling full and satisfied, only to take a peek at the dessert menu and decide the cheesecake looks just irresistible. So why is it that you just absolutely couldn’t have another bite, but you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat?
Scientists now have a better understanding of the neural origins of this urge thanks to a recent study published in the journal Science. Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a scenario similar to the human experience described above.
In the experiment, mice were first given a standard meal after not eating for a day. They ate until they were full. Then, during a 30-minute “dessert” period, researchers offered either more of the same food or a high-sugar option. When given sugary food, the mice ate six times more calories than when offered regular food.
The researchers focused on POMC neurons in the hypothalamus, a brain region linked to feelings of fullness. They found that when mice ate sugary food, these neurons released beta-endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical that binds to opioid receptors in the brain, creating a sense of reward. This explains why we desire sweets even when full — sugar triggers a pleasure response in the brain.
When scientists blocked this opioid pathway, the mice avoided sugar. Similar neural activity was observed in humans, suggesting that our brains are wired to desire sugar. According to Henning Fenselau, a study author, this mechanism likely evolved to encourage the consumption of high-energy foods like sugar.
Other research has linked sugar to the brain’s dopamine (多巴 胺) system, with some studies suggesting long-term sugar consumption can have effects similar to addictive drugs. However, this study was short-term and didn’t examine long-term effects like weight gain or metabolic changes.
Dr. Paule Joseph, a metabolism researcher, suggests that future studies should explore how these brain circuits function over time, especially with chronic sugar exposure. Understanding this reward pathway could help explain how overeating sugar contributes to obesity. This research sheds light on why we find desserts so irresistible, even when we’re full.
12. What is the main focus of the experiment?
A. Sugar-caused weight gain in mice.
B. Role of dopamine in food addiction.
C. Effects of not eating for a long time.
D. Neural basis of post-meal sweet desires.
13. Why did mice avoid sugar when the opioid pathway was blocked?
A. They lost their sense of taste.
B. They consumed too many calories.
C. The sugar reward response was removed.
D. Part of their brain was severely damaged.
14. In paragraph 5, what does “this mechanism” refer to?
A. Preference for high-energy foods.
B. Dopamine causing sugar addiction.
C. Fullness neurons releasing chemicals.
D. Sugar activating the brain’s reward system.
15. What does Dr. Paule Joseph suggest for future research?
A. Developing drugs to block urges for sugar immediately.
B. Studying how brain circuits change with long-term sugar intake.
C. Comparing sugar’s effects to those of addictive drugs.
D. Investigating why mice and humans have similar neural responses.

A Round Table
When I was still a little, my entire family would reunite on almost every traditional festival to have dinner. While the grownups were discussing about something beyond our comprehension, we kids would be running around or even crowd under the table to play hide-and-seek. When I got a bit older, my aunt brought back her boyfriend, a tall and a shy man. My grandma joyfully added another seat to the round table. ____16____When I was twelve, my grandma passed away because of cancer, but when the entire family reunite once again, her chair, her bowl and her chopsticks remain the same even though her seat was empty. ____17____
We all have a table like this in our homes. ____18____ It is a symbol of a reunion of our families representing our sentiment, and an attachment to our families.
____19____ In China, almost everything can be solved over a round table, then that marriage bells between a loving couple, the morning of the dead, the negotiations between business partners and a state banquet to another president from other country can all happen on a same round table.
So I start to wonder what is this round table to us, what it has been doing to us and its true significance starts to unfold in front of me. The food on the table may change with time. ____20____ The reason why we come together may be various, but the sensation behind it remains year after year the same, and that is our tolerance of different people or willingness to embrace different culture and artistic forms or care, and love, and respect for not only our family, but also for a community, our nation and even the whole world.
A. It was a bit crowded,yet we felt closer.
B. The people sitting beside it may come and go.
C. The round table has a unique meaning that ties us together.
D. These memories around the round table are truly precious.
E. These items gently filled the space of her absence.
F. Besides, the round table is a platform for promoting diverse cultures.
G. However, the significance of the round table goes far beyond family gathering.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了北京中轴线的相关信息,包括其位置、长度、历史背景、建筑特色以及它如何成为中国第59个世界遗产地。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:它从北向南贯穿北京老城的中心,全长7.8公里。空前是介词in,所以空处应填名词作宾语,long的名词形式是length。故填length。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:它最初建于13世纪,在16世纪成型。空处修饰空后的动词,应用副词。故填initially。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中轴线是根据古代建筑理念建造,为首都创造了一个理想的布局。本句已有谓语动词,所以base用非谓语形式,此处是固定搭配:be based on“基于”,去掉be动词,作状语。故填based。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:北京中轴线于2024年被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录,成为中国第59个世界遗产。add为本句谓语,和主语Beijing Central Axis之间是被动关系,根据since 2024可知,用现在完成时,主语为第三人称单数。故填has been added。

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该项目南北延伸7.8公里,穿过北京市中心,由15个部分组成。本句已有谓语动词,所以stretch用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语the property之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作状语,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Stretching。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:沿着中轴线有皇家宫殿和花园,皇家祭祀建筑,古代城市设施,公共建筑和道路。空前是形容词,所以空处应填名词,和前后文并列作表语,facility意为“设施”为可数名词,根据句意,应用复数形式。故填facilities。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:据清华大学国家文物中心主任吕周介绍,城市规划来自公元前221年以前的《考工记》,它概述了首都规划的顺序。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是kaogongji (Book of Diverse Crafis),在从句中作主语,用which引导。故填which。

【答案】One possible version:
Version1 分析现状(包括我使用的情况)+我的建议
AI and Our Study
Nowadays, AI has become an inseparable part of study, reshaping how students learn and interact with knowledge. Many students rely on ChatGPT, Deepseek to solve math problems, practice languages, or organize study schedules. However, this convenience comes with challenges, such as over-dependence and ethical concerns about originality in work.
In my daily study routine, I use AI tools wisely. I rely on apps to improve writing accuracy and brainstorm essay ideas. However, I avoid over-dependence by cross-checking AI suggestions with textbooks or teacher feedback. My advice? Embrace AI as a supporter, not a replacement. Balance technology with critical thinking, and always prioritize understanding over shortcuts. AI can lighten the load, but true learning still requires your effort and curiosity.
Only by blending AI’s efficiency with human creativity can we unlock greater academic potential.
Version2 分析现状(客观环境)+我的观点+建议
AI and Our Study
As a high school student, I have noticed that AI is increasingly being used in our study. Many online learning platforms now incorporate AI to provide personalized study plans and real-time feedback.
In my opinion, the use of AI in study has both advantages and challenges. On one hand, it can adapt to our individual learning styles and paces, making learning more efficient. It can also offer immediate help and explanations when we encounter difficulties. However, there are also concerns. For example, over-reliance on AI might reduce our ability to think independently.
To make the best of AI in our study, we should use it as a tool to assist us, but not rely on it completely. We still need to develop our own critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I believe that with the right approach, AI can greatly enhance our learning experience and help us achieve better academic results.
Version3 分析现状(大家还不怎么会用)+我的建议
AI And Our Study
In our school, AI is not yet a part of our daily study. Although it’s widely discussed, most students, including me, haven’t used it in learning, mainly because we lack the know-how.
However, I believe AI can bring huge benefits to our study. For instance, AI-powered language learning apps can offer instant translations and grammar checks, helping us improve language skills. Also, intelligent study planners can arrange personalized study schedules according to our weaknesses.
To make the most of AI, I suggest the school organize training sessions to teach us how to use AI tools safely and effectively. This way, we can leverage AI to enhance our learning efficiency.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This Friday brought a mix of emotions—both excitement and disappointment — all because of a flyer from school. When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?”
“A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.”
“Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.
I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up.
As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall.
“You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.
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。
Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His words made me pause and think. As I reflected on his wisdom, I realized that I had been burying my own roots too deep, suffocating my growth and potential, no matter how often I was told about my talent in drawing. I had always unknowingly turned a deaf ear, forgetting to spread my roots outward, to seek nourishment and reach for the sky. Encouraged by Mr. Weston’ s words, I decided to reassess my approach to life and started branching out .
The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. Once I was there, I discovered that I didn’t have to be like Emily, jumping into some unfamiliar faces around to prove I was a real artist. From landscapes to portraits, and water color to oil painting, each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention I had never experienced before. I began to make friends with other kids, the boat in my stomach rocking gently in calm waters. It was here that I truly flourished, drawing my own way to reach out for a whole new world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者有绘画天赋,想要参加艺术营,又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston老师,老师的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营,在画画的时候专心致志,交到了朋友,也接触了一个全新的世界。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他的话使我停下来思考。”可知,第一段可描写作者听了Weston老师的话之后对于自己生活态度的思考及想法的改变。
②由第二段首句内容“下个星期一,我报名参加了艺术营。”可知,第二段可描写作者参加艺术营的经历和感受。
2.续写线索:引发思考——态度转变——决定参加艺术营——经历——感受
3.词汇激活

①意识到:realize/be aware
②决定做某事:decide to do/make up one’s mind to do

【点睛】[高分句型1]. As I reflected on his wisdom, I realized that I had been burying my own roots too deep, suffocating my growth and potential, no matter how often I was told about my talent in drawing.(由as,no matter how引导的状语从句,that引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2]. From landscapes to portraits, and water color to oil painting, each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention I had never experienced before.(attention为先行词,省略关系代词的限制性定语从句)
