If you love art then, “Picasso” is going to speak a lot. Modern art is a result of Picasso’s work and he stands as a legendary figure in its birth. Pablo Picasso was born in Madrid on October 25, 1881. Picasso wasn’t just a painter of his time, he was an exceptional painter and his expertise didn’t just stop there. He was a sculptor, printmaker and stage designer. Due to his amazing skills and talent, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.
Picasso received training from his father who himself was an art teacher and a painter as well. Just at the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and he desired to introduce something new. He began to experiment with different styles of art. Most of his life was spent in Paris, which was a city to be in if you were an artist in the early 20th century. During his stay in Paris, he became friends with Guillaume Apollinaire, Georges Braque, and Max Jacob. All of them were influential artists and writers of the time and they quickly became close friends.
With time, Picasso’s style continued to evolve. He explored different grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was bold and he always preferred to use innovative perspective. Picasso also excelled in other forms of art. He also produced sculptures, and collages, and even took an interest in theatrical productions.
His most famous work was “Guernica”, a typical example of cubist (立体主义的) style. He produced this in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town of Guernica suffered a horrifying bombing. To this day, his work is an iconic representation of war horrors.
On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France. He left behind a legacy of art that is celebrated still to this day.

D. He was trained by his father, an art teacher.

A. Madrid, because it was his birthplace.
B. Paris, because it was a center for artists in the early 20th century.
C. Mougins, because it was where he passed away.

In a remote part of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, river transport is far more common than road travel. Here, boats move along the Wichimi River, a wide channel that snakes through the thick plants, and powering the silent boats is the Ecuadorian sunshine.
The boats have been provided by Kara Solar, a non-profit organization based in the region. The Achuar here are responsible for fixing, running and maintaining the boats — the solar boats are shaping daily life for the community by offering transport for education, health services and eco-tourism.
For years, many Achuar have used gasoline-powered boats on the river, but the oil must be flown in by plane from Ecuador’ s capital, Quito, making it more expensive and adding to the carbon emissions (碳排放) connected with its use. “Gasoline motors use a lot of oil and pollute the river,” said Angel Wasump, Kara Solar’s director of operations and a member of the Achuar community. “Since the solar boats arrived, families have been giving up these motors completely,” he added.
Formally launched in 2018, Kara Solar is staffed by members of the Achua r community. According to the organization, the boats operating in Ecuador have completed over 300 trips in total, carrying over 1,000 passengers and traveling over 450 kilometers per month. The most common uses are transporting local children to and from school and providing wildlife tours for eco-tourists.
As well as reducing carbon emissions and pollution, the silent boats mean eco-tourists can get a closer view of wildlife without scaring it away. “The boat serves as a symbol of what eco-friendliness could look like,” said Wasump. “It’s like a return to what’s most important in Achuar culture. These boats have represented a way for us to reconnect with this vision of what development could look like.”
8. What can we learn about the Achuar from the first two paragraphs?
A. They mostly earn their living by fishing.
B. They depend much on boats in their lives.
C. They are enthusiastic about voluntary work.
D. They have little contact with the outside world.
9. What is a reason for the introduction of the solar boats?
A. They travel faster. B. They are easy to operate.
C. They are cost-effective. D. They carry more passengers.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The features of the solar boats.
B. The applications of the solar boats.
C. The effects of the solar boats on people’s lives.
D. The advantages of the solar boats over traditional ones.
11. What does Wasump intend to stress in the last paragraph?
A. Cultural difference. B. Community spirit.
C. Environmental awareness. D. Technological development.
About 1 million people use American Sign Language (ASL) as their main way to communicate. ASL is important for children’s development of language. But learning ASL is often not that easy.
Statistics show that 98 percent of hearing-impaired (听力受损) people do not receive their education in sign language and 72 percent of families do not communicate by signing. Since nine-out-of-ten children who are born without hearing are born to hearing parents, learning sign language skills are significant for these children and families.
Now, a new app makes it easier to learn. Fingerspelling. xyz, an app from Hello Monday — a creative studio — teaches the correct hand positions in real time on web browsers. The app uses people’s webcams to track their hand movements while checking their accuracy (准确性).
The app begins by giving the user a series of words and the hand positions for them. Then the app user tries the word and they are given feedback (反馈) until they can properly complete the word. While the app will not make someone fluent in ASL, the creators hope that it will encourage people to take a course on ASL and fingerspelling.
The new app is different from other language apps because of the gaming-like technology it uses. This technology offers a more attractive learning experience than the traditionally used methods of learning sign language which include books and videos. It’s important to note that in ASL, fingerspelling is used for names, when there is no sign for a word, or when a person doesn’t know the sign.
The game was created together with The American Society for Deaf Children, an organization devoted to bringing families together through sign language, is available for free. The organization also offers online courses and a directory of children’s stories that were translated into ASL. Language is a gift that is too important not to share.
12. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A. Many people don’t take ASL seriously.
B. ASL should be accessible to more people.
C. It is too difficult for people to learn ASL.
D. ASL enjoys great popularity in the country.
13. How does the app work?
A. By recognizing and translating texts.
B. By giving and correcting the hand positions.
C. By collecting and studying the user’s feedback.
D. By tracking and improving the user’s experience.
14. What is special about Fingerspelling. xyz?
A. It is convenient for the user to search.
B. It includes various books and videos.
C. It makes the learning more interesting.
D. It is based on face recognition technology.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a product. B. To record an event.
C. To recommend a course. D. To comment on an invention.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was walking on the shore when I suddenly heard someone crying. It just drew my attention and I began to look around. Suddenly I saw a little child sitting on a rock who was crying. It was around twelve at night. “Why is he here? Why is he crying?” I wondered. And above all I couldn’ t see anyone around him, for he was too small to be alone. I approached him, initially he was frightened but I calmed him down and gave him a chocolate to eat. From the way he ate the chocolate I could make this out that he was very hungry.
I felt pity on him, who was a little boy around seven years old. His clothes were all torn. Now he was quite comfortable with me and I asked why he was crying. He told me to look at those waves in the sea and asked how I felt about them. I said they were beautiful. But he made an angry face and said he hated them, because these waves took his parents away. He was just five and since then he started wandering in this unknown city. No one loved him. These words “No one loved him” just took me into a flashback.
I suddenly recollected the dark memories of my life. I recalled that I was an orphan (孤儿) and how a couple adopted me when I was four years old. They did a lot for me, because of them today I am the engineer of the biggest shipping company. They were in a sense my true parents but I was so unfortunate that I lost them in an accident nearly three years ago. I remembered how I always wanted to thank them for what all they did for me but I couldn’t. I felt like this lttle boy was at the same situation like mine when I was a four-year old little kid.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Now it was my turn I told the little boy about my little old sad story and what I am today.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now there was a different kind of peace that we both could feel on this shore.

Due to his amazing skills and talent, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.(毕加索不仅仅是他那个时代的画家,他是一位杰出的画家,他的专长并不止于此。他是一位雕刻家、版画家和舞台设计师。由于他惊人的技能和天赋,他成为所有这些领域的杰出人物。)”以及第三段中的“With time, Picasso’s style continued to evolve.

Picasso also excelled in other forms of art. He also produced sculptures, and collages, and even took an interest in theatrical productions.(随着时间的推移,毕加索的风格不断演变。他探索了静物、肖像、神话场景和风景等不同的领域。他的作品大胆,他总是喜欢使用创新的视角。毕加索在其他艺术形式上也很出色。他还制作雕塑和拼贴画,甚至对戏剧作品也很感兴趣。)”可知,毕加索不仅是画家,还是雕塑家,版画家和舞台设计师,而且他的作品风格不断演变,探索了不同领域,如静物、肖像、神话场景和风景等,体现了他在各个不同的领域都具有天赋,由此可知,毕加索是一个有天赋的人。故选A项。

In a remote part of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, river transport is far more common than road travel. Here, boats move along the Wichimi River, a wide channel that snakes through the thick plants, and powering the silent boats is the Ecuadorian sunshine.
The boats have been provided by Kara Solar, a non-profit organization based in the region. The Achuar here are responsible for fixing, running and maintaining the boats — the solar boats are shaping daily life for the community by offering transport for education, health services and eco-tourism.
For years, many Achuar have used gasoline-powered boats on the river, but the oil must be flown in by plane from Ecuador’ s capital, Quito, making it more expensive and adding to the carbon emissions (碳排放) connected with its use. “Gasoline motors use a lot of oil and pollute the river,” said Angel Wasump, Kara Solar’s director of operations and a member of the Achuar community. “Since the solar boats arrived, families have been giving up these motors completely,” he added.
Formally launched in 2018, Kara Solar is staffed by members of the Achua r community. According to the organization, the boats operating in Ecuador have completed over 300 trips in total, carrying over 1,000 passengers and traveling over 450 kilometers per month. The most common uses are transporting local children to and from school and providing wildlife tours for eco-tourists.
As well as reducing carbon emissions and pollution, the silent boats mean eco-tourists can get a closer view of wildlife without scaring it away. “The boat serves as a symbol of what eco-friendliness could look like,” said Wasump. “It’s like a return to what’s most important in Achuar culture. These boats have represented a way for us to reconnect with this vision of what development could look like.”
8. What can we learn about the Achuar from the first two paragraphs?
A. They mostly earn their living by fishing.
B. They depend much on boats in their lives.
C. They are enthusiastic about voluntary work.
D. They have little contact with the outside world.
9. What is a reason for the introduction of the solar boats?
A. They travel faster. B. They are easy to operate.
C. They are cost-effective. D. They carry more passengers.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The features of the solar boats.
B. The applications of the solar boats.
C. The effects of the solar boats on people’s lives.
D. The advantages of the solar boats over traditional ones.
11. What does Wasump intend to stress in the last paragraph?
A. Cultural difference. B. Community spirit.
C. Environmental awareness. D. Technological development.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,本文主要讲述了在厄瓜多尔亚马逊雨林的一个偏远地区,卡拉太阳能公司为当地阿查乌族社区提供了太阳能船,代替了以前使用汽油发动机的船。太阳能船不仅减少了碳排放和污染,还让游客能够更近距离地观察到野生动物。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The Achuar here are responsible for fixing, running and maintaining the boats — the solar boats are shaping daily life for the community by offering transport for education, health services and eco-tourism.(这里的阿查乌族人负责修理、运行和维护这些船——这些太阳能船通过为教育、卫生服务和生态旅游提供交通工具,正在塑造社区的日常生活)”可知,阿查乌族社区人民的生活很大程度上依赖于船。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“For years, many Achuar have used gasoline-powered boats on the river, but the oil must be flown in by plane from Ecuador’s capital, Quito, making it more expensive and adding to the carbon emissions (碳排放) connected with its use.(多年来,许多阿查乌族社区人民在这条河上使用汽油船,但石油必须从厄瓜多尔首都基多(Quito)用飞机运来,这使得石油成本更高,并增加了与使用相关的碳排放)”及““Since the solar boats arrived, families have been giving up these motors completely,” he added.(他补充说:“自从太阳能船抵达后,很多家庭都完全放弃了这些发动机。”)”可知,引进太阳能船的原因之一是它们具有成本效益。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段中“According to the organization, the boats operating in Ecuador have completed over 300 trips in total, carrying over 1,000 passengers and traveling over 450 kilometers per month. The most common uses are transporting local children to and from school and providing wildlife tours for eco-tourists.(据该组织称,在厄瓜多尔运营的船只总共完成了300多次航行,载客超过1000人,每月航行超过450公里。最常见的用途是接送当地儿童上下学,为生态游客提供野生动物观光)”可知,第四段主要介绍了太阳能船的应用。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The boat serves as a symbol of what eco-friendliness could look like,” said Wasump.(“这艘船是生态友好的象征,”Wasump说)”可知,Wasump想强调一种环保意识。故选C。
About 1 million people use American Sign Language (ASL) as their main way to communicate. ASL is important for children’s development of language. But learning ASL is often not that easy.
Statistics show that 98 percent of hearing-impaired (听力受损) people do not receive their education in sign language and 72 percent of families do not communicate by signing. Since nine-out-of-ten children who are born without hearing are born to hearing parents, learning sign language skills are significant for these children and families.
Now, a new app makes it easier to learn. Fingerspelling. xyz, an app from Hello Monday — a creative studio — teaches the correct hand positions in real time on web browsers. The app uses people’s webcams to track their hand movements while checking their accuracy (准确性).
The app begins by giving the user a series of words and the hand positions for them. Then the app user tries the word and they are given feedback (反馈) until they can properly complete the word. While the app will not make someone fluent in ASL, the creators hope that it will encourage people to take a course on ASL and fingerspelling.
The new app is different from other language apps because of the gaming-like technology it uses. This technology offers a more attractive learning experience than the traditionally used methods of learning sign language which include books and videos. It’s important to note that in ASL, fingerspelling is used for names, when there is no sign for a word, or when a person doesn’t know the sign.
The game was created together with The American Society for Deaf Children, an organization devoted to bringing families together through sign language, is available for free. The organization also offers online courses and a directory of children’s stories that were translated into ASL. Language is a gift that is too important not to share.
12. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A. Many people don’t take ASL seriously.
B. ASL should be accessible to more people.
C. It is too difficult for people to learn ASL.
D. ASL enjoys great popularity in the country.
13. How does the app work?
A. By recognizing and translating texts.
B. By giving and correcting the hand positions.
C. By collecting and studying the user’s feedback.
D. By tracking and improving the user’s experience.
14. What is special about Fingerspelling. xyz?
A. It is convenient for the user to search.
B. It includes various books and videos.
C. It makes the learning more interesting.
D. It is based on face recognition technology.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a product. B. To record an event.
C. To recommend a course. D. To comment on an invention.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为Fingerspelling.xyz的新应用程序,它利用类似游戏的技术,帮助用户学习美国手语(ASL)中的手指拼写。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Statistics show that 98 percent of hearing-impaired (听力受损) people do not receive their education in sign language and 72 percent of families do not communicate by signing. Since nine-out-of-ten children who are born without hearing are born to hearing parents, learning sign language skills are significant for these children and families.(统计数据显示,98%的听力受损者没有接受手语教育,72%的家庭不通过手语交流。由于十分之九的先天性失聪儿童出生于听力正常的父母家庭,因此学习手语技能对这些儿童和家庭来说非常重要。)”可知,第二段中作者暗示美国手语应该让更多的人能够接触到。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The app uses people’s webcams to track their hand movements while checking their accuracy. (这款应用程序通过使用用户的网络摄像头来追踪他们的手势动作,并检查其准确性。)”以及第四段“The app begins by giving the user a series of words and the hand positions for them. Then the app user tries the word and they are given feedback (反馈) until they can properly complete the word. (这款应用程序首先给用户一系列单词以及相应的手势位置。然后,用户尝试这些单词,并会收到反馈,直到他们能够正确完成这些单词为止。)”可知,这款应用程序是通过给出和纠正手的位置来工作的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This technology offers a more attractive learning experience than the traditionally used methods of learning sign language which include books and videos.(与传统上使用的包括书籍和视频在内的学习手语的方法相比,这种技术提供了更具吸引力的学习体验。)”可知,Fingerspelling.xyz的特别之处在于它利用类似游戏的技术,让学习变得更有趣。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一款名为Fingerspelling.xyz的新应用程序,它利用类似游戏的技术,帮助用户学习美国手语(ASL)中的手指拼写,所以这篇文章的目的是介绍一款产品。故选A项。

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些针是针灸针,根据视频中的宠物医生的说法,这只狗正在接受针灸,这是一种古老的中国医学实践,可以帮助治疗面瘫。空格处作目的状语,应该用不定式形式。故填to help。

考查连词。句意:虽然对一些人来说,传统兽药(TCVM)似乎很新奇,但它远非新鲜事物。it may seem novel to some与下文的主句之间是让步转折关系,所以应该用连词although/though/while引导让步状语从句。故填Although/Though/While。
【40题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意:最近,胡的一个患者是一只患有胆结石的狗。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语,修饰空格前的名词dog,动词suffer与dog之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词suffering作定语。故填suffering。

【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国农业大学兽医学院副教授范凯表示:“宠物对个性化治疗的需求很大,这正是TCVM所提供的。”in demand“非常需要的”是固定搭配。故填in。

【答案】Dear Tom,
I’m glad to hear from you. Recently, I’ve been sticking to a study schedule, focusing on preparing for the midterm exams. I’ve made progress in chemistry by doing more experiments, but I’m really stuck in history—remembering all the dates and events feels overwhelming.
To solve this, I plan to make a timeline chart to organize historical events. I’ll also join a study group to discuss and quiz each other. Hoping these methods will work!
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was walking on the shore when I suddenly heard someone crying. It just drew my attention and I began to look around. Suddenly I saw a little child sitting on a rock who was crying. It was around twelve at night. “Why is he here? Why is he crying?” I wondered. And above all I couldn’ t see anyone around him, for he was too small to be alone. I approached him, initially he was frightened but I calmed him down and gave him a chocolate to eat. From the way he ate the chocolate I could make this out that he was very hungry.
I felt pity on him, who was a little boy around seven years old. His clothes were all torn. Now he was quite comfortable with me and I asked why he was crying. He told me to look at those waves in the sea and asked how I felt about them. I said they were beautiful. But he made an angry face and said he hated them, because these waves took his parents away. He was just five and since then he started wandering in this unknown city. No one loved him. These words “No one loved him” just took me into a flashback.
I suddenly recollected the dark memories of my life. I recalled that I was an orphan (孤儿) and how a couple adopted me when I was four years old. They did a lot for me, because of them today I am the engineer of the biggest shipping company. They were in a sense my true parents but I was so unfortunate that I lost them in an accident nearly three years ago. I remembered how I always wanted to thank them for what all they did for me but I couldn’t. I felt like this lttle boy was at the same situation like mine when I was a four-year old little kid.

【答案】One possible version:
Now it was my turn I told the little boy about my little old sad story and what I am today. Tears rolled down both of our cheeks. I saw his eyes full of tears and my heart was full of love for him. So I asked if he would like to be with me. I was a thirty-seven-year-old man and he was seven. For the first time I saw that if I would have been married then my son would have been innocent like him. He was full of tears, hugged me and kissed me. He told no one has ever loved him like that after his parents’ death.
Now there was a different kind of peace that we both could feel on this shore. The only sound that we could hear was waves. The little boy thought for a while and then he took hold of my hand. He said that he accepted me as his friend. Today thirty years have passed, and I am sixty-seven years old, who retired a few years ago and the little boy is thirty-seven. Now he calls me dad and he is a famous doctor in a big hospital.
