B By the time Nalin Kamat was 13,the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.He had already had his first show at a local art centre,showcasing his series titled“Dispositions”,which illustrated his own growth during adolescence(青少年). Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition,where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process.That's when he hit an obstacle,discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation."I thought it'd be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,"says Nalin.With the support of his parents, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery,which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work.In turn,Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening,David Griffin,a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin.Griffin regards him as someone 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 25539B special:"a strong young artist with a really excellent idea-creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people.It was a void (in the art world.There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition.The first juried show was last spring,and five- year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school,life and his own art,Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only,but he's still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 24.What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A.He became a working artist when aged 13. B.He drew other teenagers'growth in his work. C.He showed his series at the capital art centre. 些 D.He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. 25.Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A.To form the connection between different galleries. 些 B.To promote artists by showcasing their work. C.To show young artists'talent by offering them a stage. 擗 D.To expand his own business through themed shows. 26.Which of the following can best describe Nalin's idea of opening the gallery? A.Short-lived.B.Pioneering. C.Unpromising. D.Popular. 27.What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A.Devoted and creative. B.Helpful and cautious. C.Knowledgeable and ambitious. D.Humorous and intelligent. C Health is not just about exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables.Keeping proper posture is vital for living a healthy life and avoiding negative health problems. 浙 Good posture doesn't mean your back must be completely straight-no matter how many times you heard warnings to "sit up straight"or"stand straight"in your youth.Actually,the spine has a natural curve().This allows the head to be centred over the neck and the body to be centred over the hips,which is their ideal placement for maintaining good posture. Keeping proper posture provides plenty of physical benefits including reducing the chance of getting sports injuries,digestive problems,muscle and stress injuries.It minimizes the amount of stress on all your muscles. Correct posture can improve breathing as well.The inefficient breathing patterns are 烟 associated with a slouched()posture,in part because such a position forces the body to rely more on upper-chest breathing.By contrast,the belly()breathing is more efficient and relaxing.This is important because many of the worst health problems of poor posture can take years before they become noticeable. Along with such physical advantages,proper posture can also improve your mental health and your life."A person with neutral head-level posture is considered as more cooperative 够 than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,"says Laura Deon,a physical medicine specialist at RUSH University in Chicago."Good posture can improve communication skills and make your everyday exchanges go smoothly,she explains. To experience benefits related to proper posture,it is recommended to pay attention to how you sit and stand and to practise doing so correctly and often enough until it feels natural. 閻 Besides,wearing proper footwear,doing exercise and sitting on chairs that offer back support could be helpful too.No matter which of these techniques you follow,good posture can be trained with practice. 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 25539B 28.What do we know about our back? A.It keeps still all the time. B.It has a natural curve. 折 C.It looks quite bent from the side. D.It needs to be totally straight. 29.Which of the following is NOT a benefit from proper posture? A.Strengthen one's memory. B.Improve mental health. C.Reduce digestive problems. D.Relieve muscle injuries. 30.According to Laura Deon,how can good posture affect social interactions? A.It makes you less focused. B.It makes you look taller. 0 C.It makes you seem more cooperative. D.It makes you seem humorous. 31.What does the author suggest readers do to keep proper posture? 和 A.Choose soft chairs to sit. B.Wear hard sneakers. C.Keep posture natural with practice. D.Sit on chairs all day D Your favourite foods might not taste the same in the future,and the climate crisis is behind it. In Spain,the black Iberian pigs,which are very important for making special ham, usually eat acorns (and surrounding grass under oak trees.However,because of 的 heatwaves and a five-year drought,these natural foods are becoming less.So,the pigs are now fed olives(撤揽)，thereby changing the unique flavour of the ham. Drought also affects how fruits taste.For example,watermelons and cantaloupes() ◇ taste different when there's a drought.Researchers from a Spanish tech centre told a Spanish newspaper that sugars and other compounds build up during droughts,changing the taste of 长 food,sometimes for better,sometimes for worse. Beyond drought,rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavours. Typically,warm days and cool nights improve the sugar and acid content in fruits,which are 螺 essential for the optimal flavour.However,global warming makes this hard to achieve.For example,Japanese apples are becoming less acidic,softer,and drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth. E While the food we eat is deeply influenced by the climate crisis,our food choices also cause it.Eating meat and dairy from cows has a big impact on the climate.Raising livestock (produces a lot of greenhouse gases.Making animal protein also needs more land, energy and water than making plant-based protein. This may seem like a problem that can't be solved,but we can break this cycle.The Good Food Institute,a US group,believes people will choose alternative protein if they are as 数 tasty and affordable as meat. Meanwhile,more people have started to take action.According to The New York Times, 输 Will Hlamris,a US farmer,practises regenerative farming,allowing cows to move around freely,using less chemical use and disturbing the soil less,which is more environmentally friendly. 拓 32.What changes the flavour of the ham? A.The harvest of acorns and the surrounding grass. B.People's need to make the flavour special. C.The shortage of food sources and alternative feed. D.The unique compounds caused by heatwaves. 33.What does the underlined word "optimal"in Paragraph 4 mean? 格 A.Strange. B.Best. C.Worst. D.Common. 34.According to the Good Food Institute,people will choose alternative protein if 版 A.the environment changes B.they are cheaper than meat C.they are delicious and cheap enough D.the greenhouse gases disappear 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 25539B 35.What's the main idea of the text? A.Benefits of regenerative farming. B.Food production affected by climate. C.Livestock's role in making protein. D.Climate crisis changing food taste. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Are you one of those people who like spending time alone?If so,you probably already know that there are some people who will scold()you for it.They think you are alone because you are anxious around other people and just don't have very positive relationships with humans.36 This is a common phenomenon of being alone for too long.Recently,scholars have increasingly recognized the value of spending time alone.37 They believe that spending time alone is good for creativity,self-insight,self-development,relaxation,and spirituality. 38 One of the most important facts is whether you choose to be alone.If you are spending time alone because that's what you want,then that will probably be a psychologically healthy experience.If instead you are home alone feeling upset because you really want to be with other people,that's much more problematic. As important as that distinction is,some scholars believe it is not enough.Even people who choose to be alone,they point out,can do so for different reasons.39 Others, however,are more likely to be indicative of good psychological health. For young people,spending time alone for positive reasons is associated with a number of healthy psychological experiences.Those who are alone for negative reasons are worrying. However,wanting to be alone for positive reasons and wanting to be alone for negative reasons are not completely separate.40 Some people want to be alone for two reasons. A.They have even documented it. B.There is a small relevance between the two. C.They are forced to spend much time alone. D.The two have nothing to do with each other. E.They assume you are lonely and depressed. F.How do you decide whether being alone is good or bad? G.Some reasons for being alone are likely to cause trouble. 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Last year,as my 9-year-old son,Leopold,and I prepared for a ski trip to Keystone,I set a rule:We would say yes to everything.Leopold is a picky eater and can be 41 to try new things.
