Lundy Island, Devon This tiny island is off the coast of Devon. It successfully raised funds to make sure of its survival in 2020. It is home to less than 30 people. There are historic buildings here and there. They have been turned into holiday rentals (租用的房屋) for people looking for the feeling of being temporarily cut off from the real world. (Four-night stay, from £123 per person.) Snowdonia, Wales No one wants to line up to reach the summit (顶峰) of Snowdon, but there are ways to explore this National Park in north Wales and its surrounding countryside, without adding to the possible crowds. You can spend the night in a tent above the waves, or make your heart beat faster by taking part in rock-climbing. (Cliff (悬崖) camping, from £200 per day per person; climbing from £60 per day per person.) Norfolk You can keep social distance without difficulty in Norfolk: this flat county feels wide and empty even in the height of summer. Head to Holkham Beach for sandy space rent a boat and explore along the Broads or book a night in the new hotel The Harper in Langham, which is open in early spring this year. (The Harper, from £75 a night per person.) Lake District, Cumbria There’s never a bad time to visit the Lakes. Lake District’s glassy waters and high summits, including England’s deepest lake and highest mountain, make it officially become a National Park.

It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. We want to invite you to join our next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Social media was running my life, not me. But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set a bad example for him. Before social media became popular, surfing the Internet was an occasional/ distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son, I deactivated my social media account. I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day, so I had to come up with some new ideas. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and my son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I was completely in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide. I check out it on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D Her mother’s phone call. 42. What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Closed. B. Updated. C. Kept. D. Checked. 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She went to the gym as often as she could. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to make money for her holidays. D. She travelled around a lot for a year. 44. What did the author think of the break from social media? A. It was good for her eyes. B. It stopped her getting news. C. It distanced her from her friends. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 45. What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. C Many companies are pushing their employees to get back to the office, considering it critical for maintaining the company culture. According to Treehugger, the third industrial revolution would be the end of the office and in the future, it would be a coffee shop: “The major purpose of an office in the future is to interact, to get around a table and talk, and to chat.” I am so enthusiastic about the end of the office considering the carbon it would save. It is reflected in not just the gas in the cars or the building operations, but the massive carbon from building office buildings, subways, and other facilities designed to meet the peak demand of the commute (通勤). Many companies are settling into the concept of hybrid (混合的) offices, where employees work from home several days per week. The Carbon Counter of the Financial Times sees a picture in the U.S. where “there are bigger savings from homeworking, largely down to a cut in the time spent driving gas-guzzling (高油耗的) cars.” But people may move to bigger suburban houses, willing to have longer commutes, where they have twice the footprint of someone living in the city. The Carbon Counter estimates that full-time homeworking has a footprint of about 50% of fulltime office working in the U. S. but only a minor saving in carbon emissions with a switch to 3 days in the office and 2 at home, based on a 22-mile commute and a 40% increase in heating and electricity for those days working from home. Besides, no company is going to keep 100% of their office space for two-thirds of the number of people, especially when they are no longer worrying about social distancing. Companies will promote more “hot-desking” where employees do not have permanent personal spots, which many find makes the office less attractive, encouraging more people to work from home. I noted earlier there might be less demand for public transportation and highway expansion in the case of hybrid offices, but analyst John Kemp reports crowded subways are a feature, not a fault. Kemp also notes that “fully occupied central offices and transportation systems usually make very efficient use of energy.” 46. Why are lots of companies calling on employees to return to offices? A. To promote a relaxing working environment among them. B. To boost social contact and teamwork among them. C. To bring about another industrial revolution. D. To reduce unnecessary carbon footprints among them. 47. What makes the author in favor of putting an end to the office? A. Its contribution to his health. B. Its lowering the cost of the commute. C. Its environment-friendliness. D. Its giving him flexible working hours. 48. Which of the following might the Carbon Counter agree with? A. Full-time homeworking is more suitable for the U. S. B. Working from home is not easy to put into practice. C. Hybrid offices might not be so carbon-efficient. D. Many people in the U. S. have to face longer commutes. 49. What can we know about “hot-desking”? A. It results in social distancing. B. It contributes to people’s preference for working from home. C. It encourages people to improve social skills. D. It stimulates employees’ enthusiasm for work from home. 50. What is Kemp’s attitude towards hybrid offices? A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Approving. D. Uncertain. D A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than these because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors — or of people very different from us — can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May,1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozeo, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez-showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was and still is its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic (伊斯兰教的) belief that statues are unholy (不神圣的，亵渎神明的). 51. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage? A. Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only. B. Art can provide information about the everyday activities of ancient people. C. Information and facts about politics are given objectively in history. D. Franciso Gova was perhaps the first truly political artist. 52. History books are objective because ______. A. it will make the viewers angry and sad about history B. personal and emotional opinions are expressed through it C. it can help us understand historical facts better D. opinions about facts are not expressed 53. The two pictures The Third of May,1808 and Guernica mentioned in paragraph 2 show that ______. A. art is subjective B. artists are very similar even over a hundred years C. history books present objective information D. art can reflect political life of a country 54. In paragraph 2, the underlined part “another continent” refers to ______. A. Europe B. America C. Mexico D. Middle East 55. The passage is mainly discussing ______. A. the difference between general history and art history B. the development of art history C. the influence of artists on art history D. what we can learn from art history 第二部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Jake was a young software developer living in a busy city. Despite his success at work, he felt unsatisfied and often questioned the purpose of his efforts. One evening, feeling particularly lost, he decided to take a break and visit a small coastal town where his old friend, Sam, lived. Upon arriving, eke was struck by the town’s calmness. Sam greeted him warmly and suggested they take a hike to a nearby lighthouse. The path was tough, but Sam assured Jake that the view from the top was worth it. As they climbed, Jake voiced his doubts. “Sam, I’ve been working hard, but I feel stuck. What’s the point?” Sam paused and looked at the path ahead. “Life isn’t always easy, Jake. Sometimes it feels like we’re making no progress, but every step counts, even the hard ones.” Their conversation was interrupted when they reached a particularly rocky section. Jake fell, hurting his knee. Frustrated, he almost gave up and suggested turning back. He felt a mix of anger and disappointment, thinking all his effort was for nothing. But Sam extended a hand, helping him to his feet. “Life’s challenges can knock us down, but we learn and grow by facing them.” Finally, after much effort, they reached the lighthouse. The view was amazing—the vast ocean stretched endlessly, with the setting sun casting golden colors over the water. Jake felt a deep sense of peace and accomplishment. Sam turned to him and said, “See this view, Jake? It shows the big picture of life. The tough journey was worth it. Your work is the same—each challenge and effort leads to something greater.” Jake nodded, realizing his struggles had value. As they walked back, Jake felt a renewed sense of purpose. He now understood that meaning comes from the journey, not the destination. With this new perspective, he felt ready to face life’s challenges with hope and determination. 56.

Take care当心。根据are you sure it’s not too much trouble?可知，此处表示同意，故选A项。 考点：考查情景交际。 【名师点睛】情景交际顾名思义就要根据情景来进行作答，所以语境的判断是十分重要的，根据are you sure it’s not too much trouble可知，此处表示同意，故可以很顺利找到答案。注意此类题三个步骤，一仔细审题，明确大意；二，分析圣诞，试填答案；三全题复读，融会贯通。 2.

Faced; solution B. Facing; chance C. Facing with; option D. Faced with; alternative 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词及名词词义辨析。句意：面对高昂的租金，一些家长考虑买房作为替代。A. Faced; solution解决办法；B. Facing; chance机会；C. Facing with; option选择；D. Faced with; alternative替代；备选项。第一空为句子的状语部分，及物动词face表示面对，面临，可使用现在分词做状语与主语some parents为主动关系；过去分词短语faced with something则表示状态（或者说强调的是静态）也可作状语。所以第一空B.D.项正确；第二空需要一个名词，租房成本太高，买房就成为一个替代租房的合适选择，所以B.D.项中，alternative比chance更符合句意。故选D项。 4. Linda as well as her two close friends into universities in Beijing last year. A. was admitted B. were admitted C. has been admitted D. had been admitted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意：琳达和她的两个密友去年被北京的大学录取了。动词admit意为“准许……加入；接收入院”，结合last year可知，事情发生在过去，故句子用一般过去时，且Linda as well as her two close friends有admit为被动关系，句子用一般过去时的被动语态，as well as连接两个成分作主语时，其后的谓语通常要与前面一个主语保持一致，本句谓语与Linda一致，be动词用was。选项A为一般过去时的被动语态，选项B为一般过去时的被动语态，选项C为现在完成时的被动语态，选项D为过去完成时的被动语态。故选A。 5.

A. solves B. solving C. solved D. to solve 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：农民们看到当地政府迅速解决问题，感到非常高兴。根据句意可知，空中solve意为“解决”，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语the problem之间有被动关系，所以应用过去分词solved，表被动，作宾语补足语。故选C。 9. — You know so much about agriculture. — Well, I ________ in the countryside for five years. A. lived B. had been living C. had lived D. live 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：——你对农业了解这么多。——嗯，我在农村生活了五年。根据句意可知，此处描述的是过去在农村居住的经历，且该经历已经结束，没有持续到现在，也不强调对现在造成的影响，属于单纯描述过去的事实，因此应用一般过去时。故选A项。 10. A new stadium ________ in our city now. It is expected to be finished next month. A. will be built B. has built C. is being built D. is building 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：我们城市正在建造一座新体育场。预计下个月完工。根据“now”可知，句子描述现在正在进行的动作，用现在进行时，主语A new stadium和谓语build之间是被动关系，故用现在进行时的被动语态，主语A new stadium是单数，be动词用is。故选C项。 11.

(Cliff (悬崖) camping, from £200 per day per person; climbing from £60 per day per person.) Norfolk You can keep social distance without difficulty in Norfolk: this flat county feels wide and empty even in the height of summer.

We want to invite you to join our next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Social media was running my life, not me. But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set a bad example for him. Before social media became popular, surfing the Internet was an occasional/ distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son, I deactivated my social media account. I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day, so I had to come up with some new ideas. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and my son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I was completely in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide. I check out it on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 42. What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Closed. B. Updated. C. Kept. D. Checked. 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She went to the gym as often as she could. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to make money for her holidays. D. She travelled around a lot for a year. 44. What did the author think of the break from social media? A. It was good for her eyes. B. It stopped her getting news. C. It distanced her from her friends. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 45. What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者如何意识到社交媒体对她生活的影响，并采取行动改变，最终找到了与社交媒体更健康的互动方式。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. (但让我对社交媒体失去兴趣的是，我发了一张照片后，五分钟后我的儿子问我获得了多少“赞”。他的问题警醒了我。)”可知，作者开始意识到需要控制自己在Facebook上的时间是因为她的儿子问她照片获得了多少“赞”。这个问题让她意识到社交媒体对她生活的影响。故选B项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son (为了重现那些日子的质朴，并为我的儿子树立一个更好的榜样)”可知，作者想要恢复以前质朴的生活，也就是摆脱社交媒体的控制，由此可知，划线单词与“关闭”或“停用”意义相近。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. (我随身携带了一本小说和一本填字游戏书。我重新发现了针织。我开始参加瑜伽课。)”可知，为了改变生活，作者采取了一些新的措施，如随身携带小说和填字游戏书，重新发现针织，开始参加瑜伽课程。这些都是健康习惯的一部分。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段“The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. (这次休息让我对自己、家庭、家和生活感觉更好。)”可知，作者从社交媒体的休息中找到了生活中的美好，这让她感觉更好。这表明休息让她有时间发现生活中的美好。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第九段“After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide.

(几周后，我回到了社交媒体。现在我看着朋友们的孩子成长的照片，并珍惜社交媒体让我与远近的家人保持联系的方式。我每天查看它，但不再有不断发布更新的欲望。)”可知，作者对社交媒体的态度是客观的，她认识到社交媒体的好处，同时也意识到其潜在的负面影响，并找到了与之健康互动的方式。故选C项。 C Many companies are pushing their employees to get back to the office, considering it critical for maintaining the company culture. According to Treehugger, the third industrial revolution would be the end of the office and in the future, it would be a coffee shop: “The major purpose of an office in the future is to interact, to get around a table and talk, and to chat.” I am so enthusiastic about the end of the office considering the carbon it would save. It is reflected in not just the gas in the cars or the building operations, but the massive carbon from building office buildings, subways, and other facilities designed to meet the peak demand of the commute (通勤). Many companies are settling into the concept of hybrid (混合的) offices, where employees work from home several days per week. The Carbon Counter of the Financial Times sees a picture in the U.S. where “there are bigger savings from homeworking, largely down to a cut in the time spent driving gas-guzzling (高油耗的) cars.” But people may move to bigger suburban houses, willing to have longer commutes, where they have twice the footprint of someone living in the city. The Carbon Counter estimates that full-time homeworking has a footprint of about 50% of fulltime office working in the U. S., but only a minor saving in carbon emissions with a switch to 3 days in the office and 2 at home, based on a 22-mile commute and a 40% increase in heating and electricity for those days working from home. Besides, no company is going to keep 100% of their office space for two-thirds of the number of people, especially when they are no longer worrying about social distancing. Companies will promote more “hot-desking” where employees do not have permanent personal spots, which many find makes the office less attractive, encouraging more people to work from home. I noted earlier there might be less demand for public transportation and highway expansion in the case of hybrid offices, but analyst John Kemp reports crowded subways are a feature, not a fault. Kemp also notes that “fully occupied central offices and transportation systems usually make very efficient use of energy.” 46. Why are lots of companies calling on employees to return to offices? A. To promote a relaxing working environment among them. B. To boost social contact and teamwork among them. C. To bring about another industrial revolution. D. To reduce unnecessary carbon footprints among them. 47. What makes the author in favor of putting an end to the office? A. Its contribution to his health. B. Its lowering the cost of the commute. C. Its environment-friendliness. D. Its giving him flexible working hours. 48. Which of the following might the Carbon Counter agree with? A. Full-time homeworking is more suitable for the U. S. B. Working from home is not easy to put into practice. C. Hybrid offices might not be so carbon-efficient. D. Many people in the U. S. have to face longer commutes. 49. What can we know about “hot-desking”? A. It results in social distancing. B. It contributes to people’s preference for working from home. C. It encourages people to improve social skills. D. It stimulates employees’ enthusiasm for work from home. 50. What is Kemp’s attitude towards hybrid offices? A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Approving. D. Uncertain. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. C 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“混合型办公室”开始流行起来，比较了与传统办公室之间的区别和优缺点。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many companies are pushing their employees to get back to the office, considering it critical for maintaining the company culture.(许多公司都在敦促员工回到办公室，认为这对维护公司文化至关重要)”可知，许多公司呼吁员工返回办公室是为了维护公司文化，即促进他们之间的社会联系和团队合作。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to Treehugger, the third industrial revolution would be the end of the office and in the future, it would be a coffee shop: “The major purpose of an office in the future is to interact, to get around a table and talk, and to chat.”(根据Treehugger的说法，第三次工业革命将终结办公室，在未来，办公室将成为咖啡馆：“未来办公室的主要目的是互动，围坐在桌子旁交谈，聊天。”考虑到这样可以节省碳排放，我对办公室的终结非常感兴趣)”可知，作者赞成结束办公室是因为环境友好。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Carbon Counter estimates that full-time homeworking has a footprint of about 50% of fulltime office working in the U. S., but only a minor saving in carbon emissions with a switch to 3 days in the office and 2 at home, based on a 22-mile commute and a 40% increase in heating and electricity for those days working from home.(碳计数器估计，在美国，全职在家工作的碳足迹约占全职办公室工作的50%，但根据22英里的通勤距离和在家工作的时间增加40%的供暖和电力，将上班时间改为3天，在家工作的时间改为2天，只会减少少量的碳排放)”可知，混合型办公室可能不那么节能。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Companies will promote more “hot-desking” where employees do not have permanent personal spots, which many find makes the office less attractive, encouraging more people to work from home.(公司将推广更多的“办公桌轮换制”，即员工没有固定的个人位置，许多人认为这会降低办公室的吸引力，鼓励更多的人在家工作)”可知，“办公桌轮换制”有助于人们更喜欢在家工作。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I noted earlier there might be less demand for public transportation and highway expansion in the case of hybrid offices, but analyst John Kemp reports crowded subways are a feature, not a fault.(我之前提到过，在混合办公情况下，公共交通和高速公路扩建的需求可能会减少，但分析师约翰·肯普认为，拥挤的地铁是一个特点，而不是缺点)”以及最后一段“Kemp also notes that “fully occupied central offices and transportation systems usually make very efficient use of energy.”(肯普还指出，“满员的中央办公室和交通系统通常会非常有效地利用能源。”)”可知，坎普支持传统办公室，对混合型办公室的态度是消极的。故选A。 D A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than these because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors — or of people very different from us — can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May,1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozeo, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez-showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was and still is its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic (伊斯兰教的) belief that statues are unholy (不神圣的，亵渎神明的). 51. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage? A. Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only. B. Art can provide information about the everyday activities of ancient people. C. Information and facts about politics are given objectively in history. D. Franciso Gova was perhaps the first truly political artist. 52. History books are objective because ______. A. it will make the viewers angry and sad about history B. personal and emotional opinions are expressed through it C. it can help us understand historical facts better D. opinions about facts are not expressed 53. The two pictures The Third of May,1808 and Guernica mentioned in paragraph 2 show that ______. A. art is subjective B. artists are very similar even over a hundred years C. history books present objective information D. art can reflect political life of a country 54. In paragraph 2, the underlined part “another continent” refers to ______. A. Europe B. America C. Mexico D. Middle East 55. The passage is mainly discussing ______. A. the difference between general history and art history B. the development of art history C. the influence of artists on art history D. what we can learn from art history 【答案】51. A 52. D 53. A 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了解艺术史比上历史课能更好的了解一种文化，因为艺术作品中倾注了创作人的思想情感，可以更好地反映某个特定时期的历史以及某个特定地域的文化。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But art history focuses on much more than these because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.(但艺术史关注的远不止这些，因为艺术不仅反映了一个民族的政治价值观，而且还反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理)”可知，艺术史既反映了一个民族的政治价值观，也反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理。由此可知，“艺术史只关注宗教信仰、情感和心理”表述错误。故选A项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed.(在历史书中，关于一个国家政治生活的客观信息被呈现出来：也就是说，给出了政治事实，但是观点没有被表达出来)”可知，历史书只呈现客观历史事件，不会表达感情。故选D项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions.(另一方面，艺术是主观的：它反映情感和观点)”可知，艺术是主观的。然后作者用一些例子来支持自己的观点，包括The Third of May, 1808和Guernica这两个作品。由此推知，作者举这两个例子，就是为了证明艺术是主观的。故选A项。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros ― as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez ― showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.(与此同时，在另一个大陆上，Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros他们这些大师的作品，以及Alfredo Ramos Martinez的作品，展示了这些墨西哥艺术家对社会问题的深深愤怒和悲伤)”可知，这些墨西哥艺术家指就是来自于another continent的艺术家们。由此可知，another continent指的是美洲。故选B项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes.(学习艺术史可能是了解一种文化的好方法，比在一般课堂上学到的要多)”可知，文章开篇点名主题，所以本文主要讲述了我们可以从艺术中学到什么。故选D项。 第二部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Jake was a young software developer living in a busy city. Despite his success at work, he felt unsatisfied and often questioned the purpose of his efforts. One evening, feeling particularly lost, he decided to take a break and visit a small coastal town where his old friend, Sam, lived. Upon arriving, eke was struck by the town’s calmness. Sam greeted him warmly and suggested they take a hike to a nearby lighthouse. The path was tough, but Sam assured Jake that the view from the top was worth it. As they climbed, Jake voiced his doubts. “Sam, I’ve been working hard, but I feel stuck. What’s the point?” Sam paused and looked at the path ahead. “Life isn’t always easy, Jake. Sometimes it feels like we’re making no progress, but every step counts, even the hard ones.” Their conversation was interrupted when they reached a particularly rocky section. Jake fell, hurting his knee. Frustrated, he almost gave up and suggested turning back. He felt a mix of anger and disappointment, thinking all his effort was for nothing. But Sam extended a hand, helping him to his feet. “Life’s challenges can knock us down, but we learn and grow by facing them.” Finally, after much effort, they reached the lighthouse. The view was amazing—the vast ocean stretched endlessly, with the setting sun casting golden colors over the water. Jake felt a deep sense of peace and accomplishment. Sam turned to him and said, “See this view, Jake? It shows the big picture of life. The tough journey was worth it. Your work is the same—each challenge and effort leads to something greater.” Jake nodded, realizing his struggles had value. As they walked back, Jake felt a renewed sense of purpose. He now understood that meaning comes from the journey, not the destination. With this new perspective, he felt ready to face life’s challenges with hope and determination. 56.
