Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the invisible.A sketch captures a memory of people and places in a way that a photograph never can.Opposite ta blitz trave which foeses on the rapid,intensive exploration of multiple destinations in a very short period,urban sketching helps us slow downand step out of the rush by creating soinething by hand.As we draw,we notice the beauty in the ordinary:the way sunlight warms a scene,the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colors reflected in the water fountain. I went on my tirst urban sketching trip in 2023 to five coastal villages in Italy.I remember feeling frightened as I set up my sketchbook that first morning.My instructor,fellow sketchers and unfamiliar passers-by stopped by my side now and then.However,with each brushstroke,I soon became more and more engaged by the village's arched passageways,old streets,and lemon trees.I found that when you stand still and spend hours absorbing and describing the small details around you,you begin to appreciate a place's small differences.As a result,at the end of the five-day trip,I returned home with a deeper comprehension of Italian cuisine, customs and architecture. "As an art instructor,it's wonderful to see how each participant brings a fresh perspective to what's in front of them,"says Alicia Aradilla,who has completed more than 700 watercolors from 20 countries and now leads urban sketching workshops and trips."Every sketchbook erfds up beng different;I find it incredibly appealing." 24.What do we know about urban sketching?

Rather than focusing on the political aspect of diplomatic relations,Xin Wen concentrates on the practical aspects of relations in what he calls a "bottom-up view"ef diplomacy-a framework that prioritizes the agency of non-state actors whose daily interactions redefined cross-cultural exchanges beyond imperial treaties or proclamations.The book is an excellent balance of detailed analysis of primary sources while also showing the significance of those documents in a broad historical context.This book shows Dunhuang's strategic importance since it lay at the heart ot the conflicts and trade routes among various states in eastern Eurasia. This book is divided into three parts,and each part has its own guiding question.In Part One,the author asks:who became diplomatic travelers?The book then spends its first three chapters on this question.Chapter One introduces the Dunhuang manuscript collection.Chapter Two gives an account of the extremely diverse people who made up diplomatic missions Chapter Three focuses on the commodities that the diplomats carried with them,such as food, clothes,texts,animals,and luxury items.Part Two poses the question:how did they travel?This question is answered in the next four chapters.Chapter Four looks at the physical conditions of the road,and Chapter Five deals with the social customs of travelers.Chapter Six explains the important role of gift-giving in diplomatic exchanges,and Chapter Seven studies the use of language.In Part Three,the author explores the inquiry regarding the types of international connections that the travelers created.The next three chapters of the book.which explore this question,respectively (look at the economic,political,and cultura,consequences of the network of diplomatic travelers. The book's overall argument is that,despite the decline of the Tang Dynasty,the Silk Road continued to function as a mechanism for the exchange of people,goods,and ideas in eastem Eurasia.This book is a remarkably in-depth analysis of an important topic that has previously received little attention.As one might expect from such an academic book,it is written in a very formal and scholatly tone with few maps and illustrations.It would probably be a difficult book for a reader without some degree of familiarity with the topic.To the field of Asian Studies,this book is a highly valuable and insightful Bow sontribution. 28.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.An introduction to a book. B.A review of ancient manuscripts. C.A guidebook to diplomatic relations. D.An essay on the history of the Silk Road. 29.Which individual would be exemplified in Xin Wen's book according to paragraph 2? A.A Tang general sending soldiers to protect the security of the market. B.A merchant solving a commercial conflict between traders C.A royal envoy bringing gifts of blue gems to the Tang emperor's palace. D.A Uighur khan signing a formal agreement with the Tang Empire for trade cooperation. 高二英语试卷第5页（共10页） 30.What us presented in Chapter Ten? A.Types ef commodities that travelers carry. B.Economic consequences of the network of travelers. C.Political influences of the diplomatic travelers D.Cultural connections that travelers created. 31.What is a feature of The King's Road:Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Rond?

D Needles,though essential for delivering many vital medicines,are not popular among patients.Many people experience discomfort or anxiety at the sight of a needle.making injections (an unpleasant experience.Now,new research led by Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)offers a way to giye medicinewithout this discomfort一by copying how squids(魷鱼)shoot ink and water.. Dr.Traverso's tiny autemated injectors are packaged in capsules that patients can swallow. Once inside the digestive system,the capsules break down,releasing the injectors,which then deliver drugs through the surface laver of stomach or other digestive organs and into the subsurface tissues below.This methed allows patients to receive treatment without seeing or feeling a needle. Although the technique is promising,it is not yet entirely reliablo For an injector to work effectively,it must be positioned almost perfectly upright agalnst the target tissue.With skin injections.a medical professional can adjust the angle by hand,bu inside the digestive system, this is much more diffieul To solve this problem,Dr,Traverso turned to squids,which can shoot ink and water at high pressure in multiple directions.Inspired by this natural ability,he and his team worked with a medical company to develop tiny spring-loaded devices that release fast streams of medicine when activated.Tests on digestive tissues from pigs and dogs showed that the devices can effectively give injections even at anglesbelow 70. While human trials have yet to begin,Dr,Traverso hopes the technology will soon help people with diabetes,a disease that requires the patients to get multiple injections daily.A more convenient delivery system could make treatment easier and less stressful.But the potential applications extend beyond diabetes-similar devices may one day be used to administer vaccines,,making immunization(免疫接种)more accessible.If all goes well,fear of needles could become a thing of the past. 32.What can we learn about the new injectors from the first two paragraphs? .A.They are made from squid ink. B.They are invistble to human eyes. C.They enjoy popularity among patients D.They operate within the digestive system. 高二英语试卷第6页（共10页） 33.What challenge does Traverso's technjque face? A.Kecping the injoctar at a correct angle. B.Pinding a properaite for drug devery C.Having reliable medical professionals. D.Acceming the deep digestive wyuem. 34.What can we infer about the technology from the last paragraph? A.It proves effective in human trials. B.h may cure people of needle anziy C.It shows promises for future applicatiom.D.It will reduee the cost of diabe 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.The Secret of Squid Ink Shooting B.Painless Injection:A Gift from Sg4 C.Nature;A Guide for Medical Innovation D.The Develpment of Injection Tecknig 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，选项中有勇为 多余选项。 In today's interconnected society,the Chinese language is rapidly gainingim becoming valuable at both professional and individual levels 36 China'semakable economic growth has played a critical role in the mcreasingr learning Chinese.Proficiency (in Chinese-has become advantageous for individal seeking to engage with China's vast market.37 Many individuals are eagrrtoco with China's rich literature,appreciate arts,and intera withocalson a more profound eve Various motivations for leaming Chinese have given nse to diverse approachesto acquisition.3 This providesstructured learning and access to fanguage teachers Some prefer online courses or language apps.These offer flexibility and convenience.
