【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Good morning, everyone. My name is John brown and I’m from America. Besides my native language, I can also speak Chinese, Persian, and Spanish. Now I’d like to tell you how I learned these foreign languages. I used to work in China for two and a half years. During that time, I attended many Chinese language classes and I tried to practice Chinese with people there whenever there was a chance, which greatly helped me improve my spoken Chinese. I learned Persian because I majored in the Persian language at university. After graduation, I worked as a translator. It was a tough job. However, the struggles that I encouraged while doing the job helped me to learn and deepen my understanding of the language. As for Spanish, I learned it mainly through books and self-study. Also, I enrolled in an online language class where I could interact and talk with a local Spanish. The actual conversations allowed me to apply what I’d learned. From the books, through my experience, I find that if you’re learning a new language, try to use it. The more you use it, the sooner you’ll become good at it.

Xu Shuwen, 26, began to learn Chinese art at the age of four from her father, a man who she said believes in the importance of aesthetic (美学的) education, “My father is an art devotee. He loves painting and playing the violin, and often takes me to operas. He taught me the ink and wash and Chinese calligraphy,” Xu said.
At first, Xu found it difficult to teach foreigners Chinese painting, so she turned to books on education and psychology. Many of her students have never painted before, which made her job even more difficult. “I got inspiration from children. I discovered that painting done by them is very creative. The color is unique and I can see they have a desire to create because they are not limited by any rules, unlike adults. So I only teach them the basic brush techniques and ask them not to imitate my work. I want them to paint their own paintings in a happy mood.”
“Chinese ink painting is abstract (抽象的) and simple but with a lot of details.However, it is difficult to get it right, either too thick or too thin. And it is challenging to get the right proportions(比例),” said Mary Durant,a Canadian woman.
In her studio on Huaihai Road, Xu teaches students about the philosophy behin(traditional ink-wash painting, and spends a lot of time teaching them the brushwork technique and spatial relations.
Xu has decided to write an English-language book on basic knowledge of Chinese painting and calligraphy, and maybe later open a school. To be a competent teacher, Xu gets up earl every morning to practice her English aloud, read books and make notes for her lessons.
24. What can be inferred about Xu Shuwen's father?
A. He attached importance to aesthetic education.
B. He wished his daughter to be a painting teacher.
C. He enjoyed playing different kinds of instruments.
D. He thought it hard for his daughter to learn operas.
25. Why does Xu Shuwen think it hard for grown-ups to learn painting?
A. They are not as lovely as children. B. They are not skilled at using colors.
C. They are lazy to create something. D. They are easy to be trapped by rules.
26. What does Mary Durant think of Chinese ink painting?
A. It concentrates too much on details.
B. Easier thought than done to learn it.
C. She can’t get the right ink concentration.
D. No challenge can prevent her learning it.
27. Which can best describe Xu Shuwen's quality?
A. Fond of writing books in English.
B. Afraid to lose her competitiveness.
C. Determined to make a bigger difference.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了26岁的徐淑文从小跟随热爱艺术的父亲学习中国艺术,后来开始教外国人中国画,并决定写一本关于中国书画基础知识的英文书籍,甚至可能开办一所学校的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Xu Shuwen, 26, began to learn Chinese art at the age of four from her father, a man who she said believes in the importance of aesthetic (美学的) education, “My father is an art devotee. He loves painting and playing the violin, and often takes me to operas. He taught me the ink and wash and Chinese calligraphy,” Xu said.(26岁的徐淑文从四岁起就开始向父亲学习中国艺术,她说父亲相信美学教育的重要性。“我父亲是个艺术爱好者。他喜欢绘画和拉小提琴,还经常带我去看歌剧。他教我水墨画和中国书法,”徐说。)”可知,徐淑文的父亲相信美学教育的重要性,并且他亲自教徐淑文水墨画和中国书法,这表明他非常重视美学教育。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The color is unique and I can see they have a desire to create because they are not limited by any rules, unlike adults. So I only teach them the basic brush techniques and ask them not to imitate my work.(颜色是独一无二的,我可以看到他们有创造的欲望,因为他们不像成年人那样受到任何规则的限制。所以我只教他们基本的笔法,让他们不要模仿我的作品。)”可知,徐淑文认为成年人学习绘画困难是因为他们容易受到规则的束缚,而孩子们则没有这样的限制,他们的绘画更具创造性。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“‘Chinese ink painting is abstract (抽象的) and simple but with a lot of details.However, it is difficult to get it right, either too thick or too thin. And it is challenging to get the right proportions(比例),’ said Mary Durant, a Canadian woman.(“中国水墨画抽象而简单,但细节丰富。然而,很难把它画对,要么太浓,要么太淡。而且很难掌握正确的比例,”加拿大女性玛丽·杜兰特说。)”可知,Mary Durant认为中国水墨画虽然看起来简单抽象,但实际上很难掌握,要么太浓要么太淡,而且很难掌握正确的比例。这表明她认为学习中国水墨画说起来容易做起来难。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Xu has decided to write an English-language book on basic knowledge of Chinese painting and calligraphy, and maybe later open a school. To be a competent teacher, Xu gets up early every morning to practice her English aloud, read books and make notes for her lessons.(徐决定写一本关于中国画和书法基础知识的英文书,也许以后会开一所学校。为了成为一名合格的教师,徐每天早上都早起大声练习英语,读书,为她的课做笔记。)”可知,徐淑文不仅决定写一本关于中国画和书法基础知识的英文书,还计划以后开一所学校,并且为了成为一名合格的教师,她每天早起练习英语、读书和做笔记。这些行为都表明她有决心做出更大的贡献。故选C项。

Switch from burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) to burning ammonia (氨) is a promising way for the shipping industry to cut its carbon dioxide emissions (排放). But if we aren’t careful, this approach could also increase harmful nitrogen (氮) pollution.
The tens of thousands of ships on the oceans are responsible for about 3 percent of global CO₂ emissions, burning more than 300 million tons of fossil fuels each year.
A climate-friendly fuel choice is “green ammonia”, a zero-carbon fuel made by using clean electricity, which could be produced at larger amounts than other low-emission fuels. There aren’t yet any ammonia-powered ships at sea, but several are being built. With an active decarbonization effort, the International Energy Agency projects that ammonia could make up 44 percent of all shipping fuel by 2050.
There is a problem, though. While the use of green ammonia would mean less CO₂ produced, it could increase nitrogen pollution. In the air, reactive forms of nitrogen can cause air pollution; in the water, they can speed up the growth of harmful algal blooms (水华).
Xin Zhang, at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, and her workmates concluded that making enough ammonia to supply 44 percent of shipping demand would require increasing its industrial production by more than 200 million tons per year. That increase is greater than the total amount of nitrogen pollution currently resulting annually from human activities, mainly agriculture. Much of the nitrogen in the green ammonia would return to the air when the fuel is burned. But if only a tiny amount of the ammonia escaped or failed to burn, the researchers found it could still increase nitrogen pollution by several percent.
To reduce such problems, ships could make use of certain skulls that remove any unburned fuel or use engines designed to reduce nitrogen pollution — but such measures aren’t requirements, says Anthony Wong at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
28. What is the advantage of green ammonia?
A. It’s unlikely to cause pollution. B. It contains little carbon.
C. It can be produced in large quantities. D. It has been widely used already.
29. What does the underlined word “decarbonization” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. The hard work to build low-carbon ships. B. The process of reducing CO₂ emissions.
C. The establishment of carbon markets. D. The latest attempt to recycle carbon.
30. Which agrees with the findings of Xin Zhang’s research?
A. Zero carbon does not mean zero pollution. B. Humans should change the way of farming.
C. The green ammonia is usually difficult to burn. D. If not much, nitrogen pollution can be ignored.
31. Which is the concern of Anthony Wong?
A. Ships have no ways to tackle the problem. B. The unburned fuel will do harm to engines.
C. The requirements haven’t specific measures. D. The recommended solution may be refused.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了航运业用绿色氨替代化石燃料可减碳,但可能增加氮污染。研究称大量使用氨燃料需防泄漏,现有减排措施非强制。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A climate-friendly fuel choice is “green ammonia”, a zero-carbon fuel made by using clean electricity, which could be produced at larger amounts than other low-emission fuels.(一种气候友好型燃料是“绿色氨”,这是一种使用清洁电力生产的零碳燃料,其产量比其他低排放燃料要高)”可知,绿色氨可以大量生产。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A climate-friendly fuel choice is “green ammonia”, a zero-carbon fuel made by using clean electricity, which could be produced at larger amounts than other low-emission fuels.(一种气候友好型燃料是“绿色氨”,这是一种使用清洁电力生产的零碳燃料,其产量比其他低排放燃料要高)”以及后文“the International Energy Agency projects that ammonia could make up 44 percent of all shipping fuel by 2050(国际能源机构预计,到2050年,氨将占所有航运燃料的44%)”可知,绿色氨是一种使用清洁电力生产的零碳燃料,因此国际能源署转向绿色氨是为了减少二氧化碳排放的过程。故划线词意思是“减少二氧化碳排放的过程”。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Much of the nitrogen in the green ammonia would return to the air when the fuel is burned. But if only a tiny amount of the ammonia escaped or failed to burn, the researchers found it could still increase nitrogen pollution by several percent.(当燃料燃烧时,绿色氨中的大部分氮会回到空气中。但研究人员发现,即使只有一小部分氨逸出或没有燃烧,也会使氮污染增加几个百分点)”可知,零碳并不意味着零污染与Xin Zhang的研究结果一致。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To reduce such problems, ships could make use of certain skulls that remove any unburned fuel or use engines designed to reduce nitrogen pollution — but such measures aren’t requirements, says Anthony Wong at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.(麻省理工学院的Anthony Wong说,为了减少这些问题,船只可以使用某些头骨来去除任何未燃烧的燃料,或者使用旨在减少氮污染的发动机,但这些措施并不是必需的)”可知,Anthony Wong担心的是建议的解决方案可能会被拒绝。故选D。
D
While you might find it hard to believe, many experienced educators are voicing support for shorter school days. Looking around the globe, you’ ll quickly see nations with leading academic results practicing it
Professor Michael Baker of the University of Toronto conducted a study on school hours. His research, involving 18 countries and over a million students, suggested that increased studying hours resulted in only slightly improved academic results. He argues for fewer school hours, believing that a reduction could lead to less burnout in students.
The Finnish approach is often considered groundbreaking, with their students normally outperforming those of the same age worldwide. The country s secret trick includes shorter school days coupled with more creative learning ways. Dr. Pasi Sahlberg, a Finnish educator and author, connects Finland’s academic success to these practices. He states that children should have sufficient time for play, rest, and family, contributing to a balanced life.
Japan is another country on the high performing list, with its students regularly topping international academic levels. They too operate with fewer school hours, choosing a more content-rich, concentrated curriculum (课程). Dr. Yoshihiko Baba, an education policy adviser for the Japanese government, argues that this concentration of rich content over longer hours is a valuable contributor to their success.
Still, many educators disagree, stating concerns about working parents, child management, and access to meals for lower-income (低收入) families. Yet, in a period when flexibility is key, these problems could be addressed by creative community solutions.
As information continues to pour in, schools should remain open to changing their schedules for the improvement of student well-being and academic performance.
You’ ve seen how shorter school days could be the key to improving student well-being and academic performance. It’s about making the hours count rather than counting the hours. So,it’s time to reflect: Shouldn’t we be rethinking the school day length? After all, if the goal is to educate well-rounded, happy students who stand out academically, a shorter school day might just be the solution we’ ve been searching for.
32. What did Michael Baker find in his research?
A. Students concentrate more on philosophy.
B. Studying longer makes little difference.
C. 18 countries support longer school hours.
D. Many students are suffering from burnout.
33. Which is the key to the great performance of Japanese students?
A. The subjects they are taught. B. The longer time they spend.
C. The balanced life they have. D. The money their families make.
34. Why are some educators against shorter school days?
A. It may be more challenging to parent. B. Communities may not offer the support.
C. Schools can’t change their schedules. D. Parents can’t afford the education fee.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some reasons for shortening school days.
B. Different countries have varied school days.
C. Experts’ positive attitude to shorter school days.
D. The necessity of increasing the school day length.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是缩短在校时间对提高学生身心健康和学业表现的积极作用及各国实践案例。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“His research, involving 18 countries and over a million students, suggested that increased studying hours resulted in only slightly improved academic results.(他的研究涉及18个国家和100多万名学生,结果表明,增加学习时间只会使学业成绩略有提高。)”可知,Michael Baker的研究发现,增加学习时间对学业成绩的提升作用很小。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Japan is another country on the high performing list, with its students regularly topping international academic levels. They too operate with fewer school hours, choosing a more content-rich, concentrated curriculum (课程).(日本是另一个表现优异的国家,其学生经常在国际学术水平上名列前茅。他们也采用较少的上课时间,选择内容更丰富、更集中的课程。)”可知,日本学生表现出色的关键在于他们所学的课程,即内容更丰富、更集中的课程。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“Still, many educators disagree, stating concerns about working parents, child management, and access to meals for lower-income(低收入) families.(然而,许多教育工作者表示反对,他们担心在职父母、儿童管理以及低收入家庭获得膳食的问题。)”可知,一些教育工作者反对缩短学校日,主要是因为他们担心这会给在职父母带来更大的挑战,如儿童管理和低收入家庭孩子的饮食问题。故选A项。
【35题详解】

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Open a textbook for a foreign language, and one of the first things you see is an alphabet (字母表), listing the letters used in the writing system and the sounds they represent. ___36___And with that, textbooks are off to greetings, words and so on, with little further thought for pronunciation. This is a shame. There is much more about learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent. To begin with, the similar pronunciations given in English and French, for instance, aren’t often quite specific indeed. In French, the “p” in Paris sounds rather different from the “p” in English, a difference often ignored in textbooks: the French pronunciation doesn’t have the strong puff (喷出) of air of the English one.
___37___ As with chemistry, the important thing is not just now the elements (元素) behave alone, but how they come together. Each language has rules like this, which many teachers generally know but don't or can't explain.
Consider an easy example. All French words are stressed on the final syllable (音节). French speakers who are familiar with a Texan city (Houston) usually call it yoos-TON, not the English HYOO-ston. The final stress is quite forceful, usually involving a higher sound. Meanwhile, English words often have a secondary as well as a primary stress. In French, the final-syllable stress is so strong as to leave little room for any other one. ___38___
Another reason why people’s information is known by their accents in other languages even if they otherwise master it, is that a language’s rhythm (节奏) can be hard to fix. People’s accents differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence. Cantonese and Italian, for instance, are “syllable-timed”: every syllable has roughly similar duration. ___39___ It means that stressed syllables occur on a regular basis.
English-speaking tourists sometimes find themselves speaking English with a strange mixed accent when they go abroad. ___40___ But as with drumming or dancing, a little clear teaching never hurts.
A. English is “stress-timed”.
B. Language rhythms can be copied.
C. You should try to learn from foreigners.
D. Teachers should teach whatever they master.
E. This is important for unfamiliar systems, such as Russian.
F. Even when textbooks or instructors mention this difference, the next step is often missing.
G. That’s why when French people say “Houston”, it sounds foreign to native speakers of English.
【答案】36. E 37. F 38. G 39. A 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨外语学习中口音学习的关键点。文章指出教材常仅罗列字母发音而忽视深入讲解,如英法字母发音差异、音素组合规则、重音位置及语言节奏等,并通过具体例子说明掌握口音需关注多方面要素。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Open a textbook for a foreign language, and one of the first things you see is an alphabet (字母表), listing the letters used in the writing system and the sounds they represent. (打开一本外语教材,你首先看到的是字母表,列出书写系统中使用的字母及其代表的发音)”和下文“And with that, textbooks are off to greetings, words and so on, with little further thought for pronunciation.(紧接着,教材就进入问候语、单词等内容,很少进一步考虑发音)”可知,此处强调字母表作为语言学习基础的重要性。选项 E“这对俄语等不熟悉的语言体系很重要”符合语境。“this”指代前文的字母表,“important” 呼应教材以字母表开篇的意义,且通过 “Russian” 举例说明不同语言体系的共性,逻辑连贯。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“In French, the “p” in Paris sounds rather different from the “p” in English, a difference often ignored in textbooks:the French pronunciation doesn't have the strong puff (喷出) of air of the English one.(在法语中,“Paris”的“p”音和英语中的“p”音听起来有很大的不同,这一点在教科书中经常被忽视:法语的发音没有英语的那种强烈的气息)”和下文“As with chemistry, the important thing is not just now the elements (元素) behave alone, but how they come together.(就像化学一样,重要的不仅仅是元素的单独行为,而是它们是如何结合在一起的)”可知,此处需衔接 “教材提及单个音素差异但未深入讲解组合规则”。选项 F“即使教材或教师提到这种差异,下一步也往往缺失中”符合语境。 “this difference” 指代英法 “p” 的发音差异,“next step missing” 对应后文 “未讲解音素组合规则”。故选 F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“French speakers who are familiar with a Texan city (Houston) usually call it yoos-TON, not the English HYOO-ston.(法语使用者称 “休斯顿” 为 yoos-TON,而非英语发音 HYOO-ston)”可知,此例旨在说明法语重音规则(末尾音节重读)导致发音与英语不同。选项 G“这就是为什么法国人说 “休斯顿” 时,英语母语者听起来很陌生)”用 “that’s why” 总结前文法语重音规则的结果。故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Cantonese and Italian, for instance, are “syllable-timed”: every syllable has roughly similar duration.(例如,广东话和意大利语是“音节计时”的:每个音节的持续时间大致相似)”和下文“It means that stressed syllables occur on a regular basis.(这意味着重读音节有规律出现)”可知,此处需对比英语的节奏类型。选项A“英语是 “重音节拍” 语言”点明英语节奏特点,与前文 “音节节拍” 形成对比,且 “重音节拍” 对应后文 “重读音节规律出现”。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“English-speaking tourists sometimes find themselves speaking English with a strange mixed accent when they go abroad.(说英语的游客出国时,有时会发现自己说的英语带有奇怪的混合口音)”以及下文“But as with drumming or dancing, a little clear teaching never hurts.(但就像打鼓或跳舞一样,一点清晰明了的指导从来不会有害处)”可知,此处需解释混合口音的原因与节奏模仿相关。选项 B“语言节奏可以模仿”既说明游客可能无意识模仿当地节奏导致口音变化,又与后文 “节奏需练习” 的类比一致。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国绘画的历史、代表作品及其体现的文化哲学内涵。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:其中最著名的作品是北宋张择端创作的《清明上河图》。表示在众多画作中的一幅,应用介词among,“among the most celebrated works”表示“在众多著名作品中”,句首单词首字母大写,故填Among。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其中最著名的作品是北宋张择端创作的《清明上河图》。此处为分词作后置定语,create与被修饰词Along the River During the Qingming Festival之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填created。
58题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这幅五米多长的画生动地展示了汴京(今开封)人们的日常生活的样子,展示了繁忙的市场、热闹的街道和宁静的乡村景色。此处为连词引导的宾语从句作shows的宾语,从句中缺少介词like的宾语,所以此处使用连接代词what引导该宾语从句表示“……的样子”,故填what。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:艺术家运用细腻的笔触,巧妙地描绘了人与自然的和谐,这是中国艺术中根深蒂固的主题。此处为状语,use与逻辑主语the artist之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。句首单词首字母大写。故填Using。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:另一幅著名的作品是元代山水画大师黄公望的《富春山居图》。此处为谓语动词,根据上下文时态可知,此处陈述客观事实,应使用一般现在时,主语Another celebrated piece为单数,所以谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:这幅画以其流畅的墨色和富有动感的构图而闻名,体现了道家与自然和谐相处的理想。此处为名词作宾语,compose的名词为composition意为“构图”,为不可数名词。故填composition。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这位艺术家经过多年对自然的观察,创作了一幅既写实又富有诗意的富有表现力的画作,让观者沉浸在它的美中。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词picture,express的形容词为expressive,意为“富有表现力的”,符合句意。故填expressive。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这位艺术家经过多年对自然的观察,创作了一幅既写实又富有诗意的富有表现力的画作,让观者沉浸在它的美中。此处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语,invite sb to do sth意为“邀请某人做某事”,所以此处使用不定式形式。故填to lose。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:这些画作通常是用墨水在丝绸或纸上创作的,强调简约和优雅。根据句意可知,此处表示“或者”之意,所以使用连词or连接并列成分silk和paper。故填or。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:中国名画将艺术技巧与哲学深度融为一体,提供了关于生活、自然和人类精神的永恒启示。lesson意为“启示”为可数名词,空前无限定词,根据句意此处表泛指,所以用名词复数形式。故填lessons。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Linda was a 16-year-old girl with a head full of wild ideas and a heart filled with passion for art. She lived in a small, beautiful town where the houses were painted softly and the streets were lined with old trees. Every day after school, she would rush home, pick up her sketchbook (写生簿) and pencils, and lose herself in the world of drawing.
One sunny afternoon, while walking through the town square, she noticed a poster for an art competition. The winner would get a chance to display their work in a famous art gallery in the capital city. Her heart raced with excitement at the thought. Without hesitation, she decided to participate.
For the next few weeks, Linda devoted every spare moment to her artwork. She experimented with different colors, techniques, and themes. Sometimes she would stay up late into the night, her eyes fixed on the sketchbook, her hand moving tirelessly. Her parents were supportive, but they also worried about her spending so much time alone with her art. Finally, the day of submission (提交) arrived. Linda carefully wrapped (包装) her painting, a beautiful landscape inspired by the grassland around her town, and dropped it off at the competition address. As the days passed, she waited anxiously for the results.
Then one morning, a letter arrived in the mailbox. Linda opened it. Her eyes looked at the words quickly, and her heart sank. She hadn’t won. Disappointment washed over her like a cold wave. She felt like all her hard work had been for nothing. That evening, as she sat in her room, staring blankly (茫然地) at her unfinished sketches, her best friend, Cherry, knocked on the door. Cherry could see that Linda was upset.
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。
Cherry sat down beside Linda and put an arm around her shoulders.

Encouraged by Cherry’s words, Linda took a deep breath.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Cherry sat down beside Linda and put an arm around her shoulders. “Your painting was amazing,” she said softly, “I saw how you poured your heart into every brushstroke. Maybe this competition wasn’t the right place for your art, but that doesn’t mean it’s not valuable.” Cherry reminded Linda of how their classmates always gathered around her sketches during breaks. “Why not share your work at the local exhibition next week? People here truly understand your inspiration from this town.” Linda wiped her tears, a spark of hope flickering in her eyes.
Encouraged by Cherry’s words, Linda took a deep breath. She spent the next few days refining her grassland painting, adding golden sunlight filtering through clouds. At the exhibition, residents recognized familiar landscapes in her art and praised her unique perspective. A local artist approached her, offering guidance for future creations. Though she hadn’t won the big competition, Linda realized art wasn’t about prizes — it was about connecting hearts through shared beauty.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述 16 岁热爱艺术的女孩 Linda 参加艺术比赛却遗憾落选,在好友Cherry的鼓励下重新振作,将对家乡的观察融入创作,并在当地展览中收获认可,从而领悟艺术真谛的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Cherry在Linda身边坐了下来,用一只胳膊搂住了她的肩膀。”可知,第一段可描写Cherry 会通过言语安慰和鼓励 Linda,分析比赛失利不能代表她没有才华,并给她新的展示方向建议。
②由第二段首句内容“听了Cherry的话,Emma深吸了一口气。”可知,第二段可描写Linda受到鼓舞后采取行动,重新投入创作,且在新的展示机会中获得成功,进而对艺术有新感悟。
2.续写线索:比赛失利失落——好友 Cherry 安慰鼓励——听从建议重新创作——新作品在当地展出——收获认可与感悟艺术真谛

Besides my native language, I can also speak chinese person and spanish. Now ID like to tell you how I learned these foreign languages. I used to work in china for two and a half years. During that time, I attended many chinese language classes, and I tried to practice chinese with people there. Whenever there was a chance, which greatly helped me improve my spoke in chinese, I learned the person because I majored in the person language at university.

Xu Shuwen, 26, began to learn Chinese art at the age of four from her father, a man who she said believes in the importance of aesthetic (美学的) education, “My father is an art devotee. He loves painting and playing the violin, and often takes me to operas. He taught me the ink and wash and Chinese calligraphy,” Xu said.
At first, Xu found it difficult to teach foreigners Chinese painting, so she turned to books on education and psychology. Many of her students have never painted before, which made her job even more difficult. “I got inspiration from children. I discovered that painting done by them is very creative. The color is unique and I can see they have a desire to create because they are not limited by any rules, unlike adults. So I only teach them the basic brush techniques and ask them not to imitate my work. I want them to paint their own paintings in a happy mood.”
“Chinese ink painting is abstract (抽象的) and simple but with a lot of details.However, it is difficult to get it right, either too thick or too thin. And it is challenging to get the right proportions(比例),” said Mary Durant,a Canadian woman.
In her studio on Huaihai Road, Xu teaches students about the philosophy behin(traditional ink-wash painting, and spends a lot of time teaching them the brushwork technique and spatial relations.
Xu has decided to write an English-language book on basic knowledge of Chinese painting and calligraphy, and maybe later open a school. To be a competent teacher, Xu gets up earl every morning to practice her English aloud, read books and make notes for her lessons.
24. What can be inferred about Xu Shuwen's father?
A. He attached importance to aesthetic education.
B. He wished his daughter to be a painting teacher.
C. He enjoyed playing different kinds of instruments.
D. He thought it hard for his daughter to learn operas.
25. Why does Xu Shuwen think it hard for grown-ups to learn painting?
A. They are not as lovely as children. B. They are not skilled at using colors.
C. They are lazy to create something. D. They are easy to be trapped by rules.
26. What does Mary Durant think of Chinese ink painting?
A. It concentrates too much on details.
B. Easier thought than done to learn it.
C. She can’t get the right ink concentration.
D. No challenge can prevent her learning it.
27. Which can best describe Xu Shuwen's quality?
A. Fond of writing books in English.
B. Afraid to lose her competitiveness.
C. Determined to make a bigger difference.
D. Eager to show off her painting techniques.
C
Switch from burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) to burning ammonia (氨) is a promising way for the shipping industry to cut its carbon dioxide emissions (排放). But if we aren’t careful, this approach could also increase harmful nitrogen (氮) pollution.
The tens of thousands of ships on the oceans are responsible for about 3 percent of global CO₂ emissions, burning more than 300 million tons of fossil fuels each year.
A climate-friendly fuel choice is “green ammonia”, a zero-carbon fuel made by using clean electricity, which could be produced at larger amounts than other low-emission fuels. There aren’t yet any ammonia-powered ships at sea, but several are being built. With an active decarbonization effort, the International Energy Agency projects that ammonia could make up 44 percent of all shipping fuel by 2050.
There is a problem, though. While the use of green ammonia would mean less CO₂ produced, it could increase nitrogen pollution. In the air, reactive forms of nitrogen can cause air pollution; in the water, they can speed up the growth of harmful algal blooms (水华).
Xin Zhang, at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, and her workmates concluded that making enough ammonia to supply 44 percent of shipping demand would require increasing its industrial production by more than 200 million tons per year. That increase is greater than the total amount of nitrogen pollution currently resulting annually from human activities, mainly agriculture. Much of the nitrogen in the green ammonia would return to the air when the fuel is burned. But if only a tiny amount of the ammonia escaped or failed to burn, the researchers found it could still increase nitrogen pollution by several percent.
To reduce such problems, ships could make use of certain skulls that remove any unburned fuel or use engines designed to reduce nitrogen pollution — but such measures aren’t requirements, says Anthony Wong at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
28. What is the advantage of green ammonia?
A. It’s unlikely to cause pollution. B. It contains little carbon.
C. It can be produced in large quantities. D. It has been widely used already.
29. What does the underlined word “decarbonization” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. The hard work to build low-carbon ships. B. The process of reducing CO₂ emissions.
C. The establishment of carbon markets. D. The latest attempt to recycle carbon.
30. Which agrees with the findings of Xin Zhang’s research?
A. Zero carbon does not mean zero pollution. B. Humans should change the way of farming.
C. The green ammonia is usually difficult to burn. D. If not much nitrogen pollution can be ignored.
31. Which is the concern of Anthony Wong?
A. Ships have no ways to tackle the problem. B. The unburned fuel will do harm to engines.
C. The requirements haven’t specific measures. D. The recommended solution may be refused.
D
While you might find it hard to believe, many experienced educators are voicing support for shorter school days. Looking around the globe, you’ ll quickly see nations with leading academic results practicing it
Professor Michael Baker of the University of Toronto conducted a study on school hours. His research, involving 18 countries and over a million students, suggested that increased studying hours resulted in only slightly improved academic results. He argues for fewer school hours, believing that a reduction could lead to less burnout in students.
The Finnish approach is often considered groundbreaking, with their students normally outperforming those of the same age worldwide. The country s secret trick includes shorter school days coupled with more creative learning ways. Dr. Pasi Sahlberg, a Finnish educator and author, connects Finland’s academic success to these practices. He states that children should have sufficient time for play, rest, and family, contributing to a balanced life.
Japan is another country on the high performing list, with its students regularly topping international academic levels. They too operate with fewer school hours, choosing a more content-rich, concentrated curriculum (课程). Dr. Yoshihiko Baba, an education policy adviser for the Japanese government, argues that this concentration of rich content over longer hours is a valuable contributor to their success.
Still, many educators disagree, stating concerns about working parents, child management, and access to meals for lower-income (低收入) families. Yet, in a period when flexibility is key, these problems could be addressed by creative community solutions.
As information continues to pour in, schools should remain open to changing their schedules for the improvement of student well-being and academic performance.
You’ ve seen how shorter school days could be the key to improving student well-being and academic performance. It’s about making the hours count rather than counting the hours. So,it’s time to reflect: Shouldn’t we be rethinking the school day length? After all, if the goal is to educate well-rounded, happy students who stand out academically, a shorter school day might just be the solution we’ ve been searching for.
32. What did Michael Baker find in his research?
A. Students concentrate more on philosophy.
B. Studying longer makes little difference.
C. 18 countries support longer school hours.
D. Many students are suffering from burnout.
33. Which is the key to the great performance of Japanese students?
A. The subjects they are taught. B. The longer time they spend.
C. The balanced life they have. D. The money their families make.
34. Why are some educators against shorter school days?
A. It may be more challenging to parent. B. Communities may not offer the support.
C. Schools can’t change their schedules. D. Parents can’t afford the education fee.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some reasons for shortening school days.
B. Different countries have varied school days.
C. Experts’ positive attitude to shorter school days.
D. The necessity of increasing the school day length.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Open a textbook for a foreign language, and one of the first things you see is an alphabet (字母表), listing the letters used in the writing system and the sounds they represent. ___36___And with that, textbooks are off to greetings, words and so on, with little further thought for pronunciation. This is a shame. There is much more about learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent. To begin with, the similar pronunciations given in English and French, for instance, aren’t often quite specific indeed. In French, the “p” in Paris sounds rather different from the “p” in English, a difference often ignored in textbooks: the French pronunciation doesn’t have the strong puff (喷出) of air of the English one.
___37___ As with chemistry, the important thing is not just now the elements (元素) behave alone, but how they come together. Each language has rules like this, which many teachers generally know but don't or can't explain.
Consider an easy example. All French words are stressed on the final syllable (音节). French speakers who are familiar with a Texan city (Houston) usually call it yoos-TON, not the English HYOO-ston. The final stress is quite forceful, usually involving a higher sound. Meanwhile, English words often have a secondary as well as a primary stress. In French, the final-syllable stress is so strong as to leave little room for any other one. ___38___
Another reason why people’s information is known by their accents in other languages even if they otherwise master it, is that a language’s rhythm (节奏) can be hard to fix. People’s accents differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence. Cantonese and Italian, for instance, are “syllable-timed”: every syllable has roughly similar duration. ___39___ It means that stressed syllables occur on a regular basis.
English-speaking tourists sometimes find themselves speaking English with a strange mixed accent when they go abroad. ___40___ But as with drumming or dancing, a little clear teaching never hurts.
A. English is “stress-timed”.
B. Language rhythms can be copied.
C. You should try to learn from foreigners.
D. Teachers should teach whatever they master.
E. This is important for unfamiliar systems, such as Russian.
F. Even when textbooks or instructors mention this difference, the next step is often missing.
G. That’s why when French people say “Houston”, it sounds foreign to native speakers of English.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Linda was a 16-year-old girl with a head full of wild ideas and a heart filled with passion for art. She lived in a small, beautiful town where the houses were painted softly and the streets were lined with old trees. Every day after school, she would rush home, pick up her sketchbook (写生簿) and pencils, and lose herself in the world of drawing.
One sunny afternoon, while walking through the town square, she noticed a poster for an art competition. The winner would get a chance to display their work in a famous art gallery in the capital city. Her heart raced with excitement at the thought. Without hesitation, she decided to participate.
For the next few weeks, Linda devoted every spare moment to her artwork. She experimented with different colors, techniques, and themes. Sometimes she would stay up late into the night, her eyes fixed on the sketchbook, her hand moving tirelessly. Her parents were supportive, but they also worried about her spending so much time alone with her art. Finally, the day of submission (提交) arrived. Linda carefully wrapped (包装) her painting, a beautiful landscape inspired by the grassland around her town, and dropped it off at the competition address. As the days passed, she waited anxiously for the results.
Then, one morning, a letter arrived in the mailbox. Linda opened it. Her eyes looked at the words quickly, and her heart sank. She hadn’t won. Disappointment washed over her like a cold wave. She felt like all her hard work had been for nothing. That evening, as she sat in her room, staring blankly (茫然地) at her unfinished sketches, her best friend, Cherry, knocked on the door. Cherry could see that Linda was upset.
注意:
