A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty. Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income. Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914, it hosted famous comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being used today. RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked down to make way for a residential tower block. Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018. 21. In the late 1920s, Proctor’s Theatre in Newark set up stands to ________.

RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre is well preserved. B. Proctor’s Theatre in Troy plays second-run films now. C. Metropolitan Opera House has witnessed changes in its function. D. Proctor’s Theatre in Newark has been officially listed on the NRHP. 23. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To rank the old and unrestored theatres. B. To show the development of American theatres. C. To encourage people to protect the old theatres. D. To provide information on overlooked old theatres. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个被人们忽略的老剧院。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey部分的“In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income.（然而，在20世纪20年代末，纽瓦克的普罗克特剧院的经营者开始设立摊位，以改善大萧条时期的经济状况。爆米花和可乐将成为剧院收入的重要组成部分）”可知，在20世纪20年Proctor’s Theatre in Newark设立（小吃）摊位是为了增加剧院的收入。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia部分“In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018.（在20世纪20年代，它被重新命名为大都会歌剧院，除了主办各种歌剧公司外，还放映无声电影。在20世纪40年代，它变成了一个运动场。1954年，它被改成了教堂。上世纪90年代末，这栋建筑被Mark Hatcher买下。教堂和开发商就音乐场地的修复达成了协议，该场地于2018年完工并重新开放）”可知，Metropolitan Opera House从上世纪20年代到本世纪大约100年间几经变化，从歌剧院到运动场，再到教堂，目前它是一个音乐场地，即Metropolitan Opera House的功能发生了变化。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Old and unrestored theatres are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty.（我们周围到处都是未修复的老剧院，却无人注意。一本新的相册揭示了它们经常被忽视的美）”结合下文对四个老剧院的独特之处的介绍可知，本文的目的是提供一些有关被忽略的旧剧院的资料。故选D。 B Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.” His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?” “I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking tor lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days. “No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up. Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked away. When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked. There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head. 24. Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she . A. knew Bertie would hate to go to England B. knew selling the lion would upset Bertie C. had decided to send Bertie to school D. had been seriously ill recently 25. In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle at the lion to . A. protect himself from the lion B. show his anger towards his father C. kill the lion out of fear D. threaten the lion back to the wild 26. The passage intends to show that . A. people and animals can be faithful to each other B. animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses C. parents are sometimes cruel to their children D. animal-hunting is popular in Africa 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Bertie的父母想把狮子卖给马戏团，为了狮子能够重获自由，Bertie虽万般不舍，最后依然含泪把白狮赶回大自然的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad.(Bertie感觉到有事要发生。他母亲最近几天一直很伤心，不是生病，只是奇怪地伤心。)”、第三段“‘I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,’ his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking tor lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.(‘我恐怕还有别的事情要告诉你，’他的父亲说。他望向Bertie的母亲，深吸了一口气。然后他告诉Bertie，他遇到了一位来自法国的马戏团老板，这位老板正在非洲寻找狮子购买。他几天后会来到他们的农场。)”和第五段中“‘No! You can’t send him to a circus!’ said Bertie. ‘People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!’( ‘不!你不能把他送到马戏团去!’Bertie说。‘人们会来看他。他会被关起来的。我答应过他，他永远不会这样的。他们会嘲笑他。他宁愿死。任何动物都会这样的!’)”可推知，Bertie的妈妈知道Bertie非常喜欢狮子，把狮子卖给马戏团会让Bertie很伤心，因此她为Bertie感到很难过。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.(当他回头看时，狮子仍然坐在那里看着他；但接着狮子站了起来，打了个哈欠，伸了个懒腰，然后向他跳了下来。Bertie冲它喊叫，但它还是不断靠近。他扔木棍。他扔石头。什么都不管用。)”和最后一段“There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.(只剩下一件事要做了。他眼里和嘴里都噙着泪水，把步枪举到肩上，在狮子头的上方开了一枪。)”可推知，狮子不愿离开Bertie，所以他只能举起步枪向狮子上方开枪，这样做是为了威胁狮子回到野外，这样狮子才能获得自由。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其结合第六段中“‘Be wild now,’ he whispered. ‘You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will.’( ‘去野外吧，’他低声说。‘你必须去野外。永远不要回来。我一辈子都会想你的。我保证我会的。’)”和第七段“When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.(当他回头看时，狮子仍然坐在那里看着他；但接着狮子站了起来，打了个哈欠，伸了个懒腰，然后向他跳了下来。Bertie冲它喊叫，但它还是不断靠近。他扔木棍。他扔石头。什么都不管用。)”可知，文章讲述了Bertie的父母想把狮子卖给马戏团，Bertie为了保护狮子，虽万般不舍，最后依然含泪把白狮赶回大自然的故事。文章意在表明人和动物之间的忠诚和相互信赖。故选A。 C A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish’s. For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything — one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism. In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today’s popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world? If — like us — the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality. Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a reasonable picture of reality. The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations. It is not the physicist’s traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe. 27 What does the underlined word “distorted” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. False. B. Accurate. C. Distant. D. Original. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The conventional insight of reality. B. The lasting conflict in physics. C. The existence of the material world. D. The need for a complete theory. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better. B. People’s theories are influenced by their viewpoints. C. An external world is independent of the observers. D. Nature’s mysteries are best left undiscovered. 30. According to the passage, the author may agree that ______. A. there is still possibility to unify different theories into a single one B. multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world C. physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theory D. various interpretations of the universe are welcomed 【答案】27. A 28. A 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过金鱼在弯曲鱼缸中看到扭曲现实的例子，引出了物理学中对于现实认知的哲学讨论，探讨了物理学家追求终极理论所面临的困境以及现实可能存在的多种解释。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality.(几年前，意大利蒙扎市议会禁止宠物主人在弯曲的鱼缸里养金鱼。该措施的发起人解释说，把鱼放在这样的缸里是残忍的，因为弯曲的侧面会让鱼对现实产生distorted看法)”和第四段中“Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl.(同样地，金鱼从它们弯曲的鱼缸外面看到的景象也和我们不一样)”可知，弯曲的鱼缸侧面使得金鱼看到的景象与我们从外面看到景象不同，所以它们对现实的看法是不真实的，划线词distorted与false意思相近，意为“不真实的”。故选A项。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything — one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism.(几十年来，他们一直在追寻一种万物的终极理论——一套完整且一致的自然基本法则，能够解释现实的各个方面。现在看来，这种追寻可能不会产生单一的理论，而是一系列相互关联的理论，每个理论都描述了自己版本的现实，就好像它透过自己的鱼缸在观察宇宙。这个概念可能对很多人来说难以接受。因为大多数人相信存在一个客观的现实，并且我们的感官和科学直接传递了关于物质世界的信息。在哲学中，这种信念被称为唯实论)”可知，本段主要介绍了几十年来，人们认为存在一套完整且一致的自然基本法则，能够解释现实的各个方面，它被称为唯实论，是人们对现实的传统理解。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a reasonable picture of reality.(金鱼可以从它们的参考系中形成科学定律，这些定律将始终成立，并使它们能够预测鱼缸外物体的未来运动。如果金鱼形成了这样一种理论，我们将不得不承认金鱼的观点是对现实的合理描述)”和第五段中“The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts.(金鱼的例子表明，同样的物理情况可以用不同的方式建模，每种方式都使用不同的基本元素和概念)”可推知，如鱼缸里的金鱼一样，人们视角和观点不同，会有着不同的理论。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations.(金鱼的例子表明，同样的物理情况可以用不同的方式建模，每种方式都采用不同的基本元素和概念。也许为了描述宇宙，我们必须在不同的情况下运用不同的理论)”和“But it might be the way of the universe.(但这可能就是宇宙的规律)”可知，作者认为人们可以用多种理论描述宇宙并认为这可能是宇宙的规律。由此推知，作者可能会赞同“对宇宙的各种解释都是受欢迎的”这个观点。故选D项。 D Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋). There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism…perhaps even a new type of president. We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves. In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. Why does this occur? It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored "go-to" topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it. The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness. When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, We fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others. It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths. 31. Why teenagers' strengths are often mistaken for narcissism? A. Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public. B. Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism. C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness. D. Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors. 32. The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that________. A. they are both victims of binary thinking B. one can be both modest and sure of himself C. confidence is quite important for celebrities D. public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism 33. What's the author's attitude towards young kids' strength-based approaches? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 34. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Teens' Strength Psychology B. Teens' Narcissism Diagnosis C. Teen's Anxiety and Depression D. Teens' Confidence Misunderstood 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. B 34. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年的自信被误解的现象及原因。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Why does this occur? It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. (为什么会发生这种情况？部分原因是人们对自恋的了解多于对优势的了解。优势心理学在很大程度上还停留在学术期刊的范围内，或者只在特定的情境，如工作场所中应用，但关于自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体并融进我们的意识中)”可推知，青少年的优势经常被误认为是自恋是因为优势心理学不太容易为大众所接受。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.(甘地和特蕾莎修女如果没有对自己的优势的自信，是不可能取得今天的成就的，但他们都是谦逊和无私的)”可知，作者在第六段中提到了甘地和特蕾莎，表明一个人可以既谦虚又自信。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.(人们很容易得出这样的结论：每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险，但我想为我共事过的成千上万的年轻人说话，他们关心他人、有思想、谦逊——即使他们发挥了自己的长处)”可推知，作者很赞成以儿童的优势为基础的方法。故选B。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).(一个恰当的例子是基于优势的科学和关于自恋的研究之间微妙且被误解的重叠)”及最后一段“It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.(人们很容易得出这样的结论：每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险，但我想为我共事过的成千上万的年轻人说话，他们关心他人、有思想、谦逊——即使他们发挥了自己的长处)”可推知，本文主要介绍了青少年的自信被误解的现象及原因。由此可知，Teens' Confidence Misunderstood(被误解的青少年的自信)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Photography is more than an art form; it can also serve as a powerful therapeutic (治疗) tool. Photo Therapy and therapeutic photography are gaining recognition for their potential to support emotional processing, self-expression, and mental health. ____35____. Photo Therapy refers to the structured use of photographs in a professional counseling (咨询) setting. Therapists guide clients through interactions with personal images, including family photographs, self-portraits, or even abstract visuals, to explore emotions and experiences. The therapeutic process might include interpreting the symbolic meaning of a photo, discussing how it makes the client feel, or using it to explore relationships. ____36____, as photographs can act as mediators (中介), allowing them to touch on challenging topics from a more comfortable distance and helping them uncover feelings and memories. Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health. ____37____. As noted on the Photo Therapy Centre website, capturing images encourages mindfulness, as it draws individuals into the present moment and helps them focus on their environment. The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories. ____38____, which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words. Engaging in photography can build confidence and self-awareness, giving individuals a sense of achievement as they create something visible and meaningful. Whether guided by a therapist or pursued independently, photography is an accessible way to support wellbeing. ____39____. For those looking to explore their emotions or seek new paths to self-discovery, picking up a camera might be the first step toward a brighter and healthier future. A. These approaches are closely related B. Some clients tend to hide their memories C. It bridges the gap between art and mental health D. Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety E. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal F. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects G. While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial 【答案】35. G 36. D 37. F 38. E 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要阐述了摄影不仅仅是一种艺术形式，它还可以作为一种强大的治疗工具。本文主要介绍Photo Therapy 和 therapeutic photography两种方式。 【35题详解】 根据上文“Photo Therapy and therapeutic photography are gaining recognition for their potential to support emotional processing, self-expression, and mental health.”（ 摄影疗法和治疗性摄影因其支持情绪处理、自我表达和心理健康的潜力而获得认可。）可知，Photo Therapy 和 therapeutic photography两种方式对心里健康都有帮助，推断出空格处应体现他们的作用是不一样的。选项G.While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial.（虽然它们听起来相似，但它们的应用不同，这使得它们具有独特益处）能承接上文，也是对下文的总结，符合语境。故选G项。 【36题详解】 根据本段首句“Photo Therapy refers to the structured use of photographs in a professional counseling (咨询) setting.”（ 照片疗法指的是在专业咨询中有组织地使用照片。）可知，照片可以在专业治疗中起作用；再根据下文“as photographs can act as mediators (中介), allowing them to touch on challenging topics from a more comfortable distance and helping them uncover feelings and memories.”（因为照片可以充当中介，让他们在一个更舒适的距离内触及具有挑战性的话题，帮助他们挖掘出情感和记忆。）可知，空格处应体现照片的作用。因此 选项D. Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety （在对话中使用照片可以给客户一种安全感）起着承上启下的作用，符合语境，故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health.”（与需要训练有素的专业人员的摄影疗法不同，治疗性摄影是一种独立或团体活动，任何人都可以参与，以帮助心理健康。）可知，therapeutic photography 是一种更独立、专业要求更低的治疗方法。选项F. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects （这种方法包括拍摄照片或创建基于照片的项目），具体阐述了这种方法包括人们可以参与拍照或者用照片做活动，承接上文，并引出下文的“capturing images”。故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories.”（创造的行为也可以帮助人们处理他们的情绪和讲述他们的故事），可知，用照片创办的活动能够在情绪上去帮助人们；选项E. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal.（一个著名的博客强调了摄影是如何作为视觉日志的。）说明照片可以充当视觉日志来表达人们内心的情感，引出下文“which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words.”（它可以让个人分享他们可能难以用语言表达的感受。）。故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Whether guided by a therapist or pursued independently, photography is an accessible way to support wellbeing.”（ 无论是在治疗师的指导下还是独立去追寻，摄影都是一种支持幸福的可行方式。）可知，摄影对精神健康有好处。因此选项C. It bridges the gap between art and mental health （它架起了艺术和心理健康之间的桥梁），其中It指代前一句话中的photography。符合语境，故选C项。 第三部分：书面表达（共三节，32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；40-41题每小题2分，42小题3分，43小题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius: wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple disciplines — painting, architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a supernatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的).” In fact, the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen. Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. “Tell me if ever I did a thing... Tell me if anything was ever made.” His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and sec more connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder. At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery…We can never learm enough from Leonardo. 40. What set Da Vinci apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart? ___________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why was Da Vinci regarded as a very human genius? ___________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Which quality of Da Vinci’s do you appreciate most? How can it benefit you in your life? (In about 40 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Creativity sets him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart. 41. Because he made mistakes and he left a trail of unfinished projects, such as flying machines that never flew and tanks that never rolled. 42. Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. Because not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. 43. One possible version: I appreciate the quality of being curious most. Because being curious can force me to keep learning new knowledge. If I am curious about one problem, I will refer to some books to get a better understanding of the knowledge. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了达·芬奇是一个有创造力，有人类本性的天才。他充满好奇心，善于观察事物，尊重事实，接受神秘等这些品质，值得我们学习。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity.(使列奥纳多成为天才的部分原因，使他与那些仅仅是非常聪明的人区别开来的部分原因是创造力)”可知，是创造力将达·芬奇与那些只是非常聪明的人区别开来，故答案为Creativity.或Creativity sets him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. (列奥纳多也是一个非常有人类本性的天才。他犯了错误。他留下了一系列未完成的项目——从没飞过的飞行器，从没启动过的坦克)”可知，达·芬奇也犯错，而且还留下一系列未完成的项目，比如从没飞过的飞行器和从没启动过的坦克，所以达·芬奇被认为是一个有人类本性的天才，故答案为Because he made mistakes and he left a trail of unfinished projects, such as flying machines that never flew and tanks that never rolled. 42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure.(为知识本身而求知。并非所有的知识都必须有用。有时应该纯粹为了快乐而追求)”可知，错误的部分为“one of which is to seek useful knowledge”，因为并非所有的知识都必须有用。有时应该纯粹为了快乐而追求。故答案为Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. Because not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. 【43题详解】 考查开放题。根据最后一段中的“Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery…”(要有好奇心，观察事物，看到看不见的东西，尊重事实，接受神秘……)可知，这些都是达·芬奇的品质，以好奇心为例，谈谈好奇心对自己生活的好处。故答案为：One possible version: I appreciate the quality of being curious most. Because being curious can force me to keep learning new knowledge. If I am curious about one problem, I will refer to some books to get a better understanding of the knowledge. 第二节 应用文写作（共20分。书写不好，在所得分基础上扣5分。） 44. 假设你是红星中学高一（1+3）学生李华。你校高一年级即将举办一次以《古韵回响，光影新章》“Ancient Whisper, Digital Echoes”为主题的英语戏剧活动，现招募英语主持人。请你给活动负责人写一封英文申请信，内容包括： 1.表达对活动的看法； 2.自身优势。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Sir/Madam, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Sir/Madam, I’m Li Hua from Senior 1 (1+3) and I’m writing to apply for the host of the English drama activity “Ancient Whisper, Digital Echoes”.

A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty. Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income. Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914, it hosted famous comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being used today. RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked down to make way for a residential tower block. Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018. 21. In the late 1920s, Proctor’s Theatre in Newark set up stands to ________. A. show respect for the guests B. increase the theatre’s income C. promote newly released movies D. compete with the street sellers 22. What can we know from the passage? A. RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre is well preserved. B. Proctor’s Theatre in Troy plays second-run films now. C. Metropolitan Opera House has witnessed changes in its function. D. Proctor’s Theatre in Newark has been officially listed on the NRHP. 23. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To rank the old and unrestored theatres. B. To show the development of American theatres. C. To encourage people to protect the old theatres. D. To provide information on overlooked old theatres. B Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.” His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?” “I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking tor lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days. “No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them he knew their minds were quite made up. Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked away. When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked. There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head. 24. Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she . A. knew Bertie would hate to go to England B. knew selling the lion would upset Bertie C. had decided to send Bertie to school D. had been seriously ill recently 25. In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle at the lion to . A. protect himself from the lion B. show his anger towards his father C. kill the lion out of fear D. threaten the lion back to the wild 26 The passage intends to show that . A. people and animals can be faithful to each other B. animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses C. parents are sometimes cruel to their children D. animal-hunting is popular in Africa C A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish’s. For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything — one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism. In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today’s popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world? If — like us — the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality. Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a reasonable picture of reality. The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations. It is not the physicist’s traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe. 27. What does the underlined word “distorted” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. False. B. Accurate. C. Distant. D. Original. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The conventional insight of reality. B. The lasting conflict in physics. C. The existence of the material world. D. The need for a complete theory. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better. B. People’s theories are influenced by their viewpoints. C. An external world is independent of the observers. D. Nature’s mysteries are best left undiscovered. 30. According to the passage, the author may agree that ______. A. there is still possibility to unify different theories into a single one B. multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world C. physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theory D. various interpretations of the universe are welcomed D Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋). There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism…perhaps even a new type of president. We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves. In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. Why does this occur? It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored "go-to" topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it. The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness. When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, We fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others. It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths. 31. Why teenagers' strengths are often mistaken for narcissism? A. Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public. B. Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism. C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness. D. Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors. 32. The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that________. A. they are both victims of binary thinking B. one can be both modest and sure of himself C. confidence is quite important for celebrities D. public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism 33. What's the author's attitude towards young kids' strength-based approaches? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 34. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Teens' Strength Psychology B. Teens' Narcissism Diagnosis C. Teen's Anxiety and Depression D.

Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health. ____37____. As noted on the Photo Therapy Centre website, capturing images encourages mindfulness, as it draws individuals into the present moment and helps them focus on their environment. The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories. ____38____, which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words. Engaging in photography can build confidence and self-awareness, giving individuals a sense of achievement as they create something visible and meaningful.

These approaches are closely related B. Some clients tend to hide their memories C. It bridges the gap between art and mental health D. Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety E. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal F. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects G. While they sound similar they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial 第三部分：书面表达（共三节，32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；40-41题每小题2分，42小题3分，43小题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius: wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple disciplines — painting, architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a supernatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的).” In fact, the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen. Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. “Tell me if ever I did a thing... Tell me if anything was ever made.” His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and sec more connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder. At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery…We can never learm enough from Leonardo. 40.
