Among the eye-catching displays are Camp’s own handmade dolls which bring every corner of the gallery to life with stories waiting to be discovered. Camp’s artistic journey kicked off when her mother once allowed her to pick out whatever crafts she wanted to try in the art store Zabar. She later pursued her passion by studying Studio Arts and Art History at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a Master’s degree in Arts Administration. Though her later path wasn’t always smooth, Camp’s passion for art never faded. Her determination and talent paved the way for her remarkable career. As a doll maker, Kimberly Camp not only uses a diverse range of materials collected from across the globe to add the dolls’ unique charm but establishes a strong connection to African cultural heritage in her dolls. Her first dolls “Brown Babies” featured 32 traditional African dress designs, capturing people’s hearts with their cultural richness. Her breakthrough moment came in 1982 when her 55 Kwanzaa (宽扎节) dolls were sold out in just a few hours, pushing her into the spotlight. Soon after, she introduced “Kimkins”, a line of dolls dressed in traditional African fabrics, with distinctive hand-painted faces. At their pinnacle in 1985~1986, Camp produced 2,000 “Kimkins” annually. In fact, Camp’s dolls are more than toys but recognized as “soft sculptures” mirroring her personality and humor. Over years, her works have been shown in over 100 exhibitions across the U. S. and around the world. In 2020, Camp received the Award of Excellence: Craft Makes Us Human for her dolls. Today, Camp’s hands are never still. She continues to explore new artistic fields, fully absorbed in every moment of her art-filled life. 4. What inspired Kimberly Camp’s early interest in art? A. Her work in a gallery.　　　　　　　B. Her visit to an art store. C. Her family background.　　　　　　D. Her university education. 5. What do we know about Kimberly Camp’s dolls? A. They reflect a new art form.　　　　　　　　　　B. They inspire more American artists. C. They are specially sold during Kwanzaa.　　　　　D. They showcase traditional African elements. 6. What does the underlined word “pinnacle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crisis.　　　　B. Exploration.　　　　C. Summit. 　　　　D. Adventure. 7. Which of the following could be the best title for this text? A. Telling the History of Africa Through Dolls　　　　B. Weaving African Heritage into Soft Sculptures C. Kimberly Camp: Master of Arts Administration　　D. Kwanzaa Dolls: Bridging Generations with Tradition C Nature, with its beauty and simplicity, always offers powerful and clear life lessons when we least expect them. From the perseverance of a tree to the persistence of a river, there’s so much we can learn. Nature reminds us that we must be flexible and embrace change. When a storm howls through the town, uproots the trees and destroys the houses, we have no choice but to dry our tears, adapt to the sudden change, and rebuild what has been lost during the storm. Experiences like this often throw challenges to us. If we don’t learn how to deal with these unexpected occurrences, we might find ourselves struggling through them without any idea where our lives are headed next! Flowers wait for the right conditions to amaze the world at the most beautiful moment and seeds endure a long journey to become plants or trees, despite many not making it. But if you look close at these little guys, you’ll see that they’re actually pretty cool. Bees busily collecting nectar (花蜜) among flowers and migrant birds winging their ways in the sky seem to be ordinary. However, behind these lies the great collaboration related to survival. Isn’t human society the same? In fact, we need it more than ever! When walking among the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, don’t forget to stop your quick footsteps, look up at the leisurely white clouds, bend down to smell the fragrance of the flowers, and let the golden sunlight shine on your face. Immerse yourself in the embrace of nature, appreciating its heavenly beauty. In this way, gratitude will quietly take root in your heart. The lessons of nature are like countless stars, illuminating your way forward. With its wisdom, you will surely write a wonderful chapter of your life. 8. How does the author emphasize the flexibility in paragraph 2? A. By quoting experts. B. By giving an example. C. By asking questions. D. By analyzing causes and effects. 9. What can be learned from the journey of flowers and seeds? A. Patience matters in growth. B. Nature favors the strongest. C. Cooperation ensures survival. D. Beauty requires perfect environment. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards nature? A. Tolerant. B. Caring. C. Hopeful. D. Grateful. 11. Which saying may best describe the main idea of the text? A. Nature offers no ease, but challenges.　　　　　　　　 B. Nature has no calendar, but seasons change. C. Nature appears simple, but unfolds profound truths. D. Nature whispers in growth, but thunders in destruction. D Recently, using AI as audiobook narrators instead of humans has sparked a debate in the audiobook industry. In October, columnist Thad Mellroy’s article examined this issue, drawing reactions from professional narrators and publishers. In that piece, Mellroy profile d several players in this area of the still-developing digital audiobook. As the audiobook industry weighs the advantages and disadvantages of cutting-edge technologies, a growing number of people are joining in the conversation. Mellroy’s article created a stir (轰动) in some narrator circles. Hillary Huber, a member of the newly formed Professional Audiobook Narrators Association (PANA), said, “It’s practically all we talk about. We are gathering all professionals to protect our rights.” The association has seen a significant growth, with its membership rising to 400. Emily Lawrence, co-founder and president of PANA, emphasized the complexity of the matter. “It’s very easy to reduce this issue to dollars and cents, but it’s very complicated.” She shared “If AI narration snowballed, it wouldn’t just be the narrators who lose their jobs. The whole ecosystem relying on audiobooks would suffer.” Moreover, Lawrence pointed out a moral issue, “If I were to license my voice, and lose all control over how my voice is then used, my voice could potentially be used for content that I find unpleasant.” Some publishers are exploring AI narration to cut costs and put more audiobooks in circulation. Anthony Goff, publisher of Hachette Audio, however, stated, “While AI can provide a cost-effective solution to producing audiobooks, we do not expect AI narration to replace humans, since there will always be a demand for the human touch, especially in types that require deep emotional engagement and storytelling skills.” This debate ultimately reflects a deeper conflict between profit and human values. Maybe a middle-ground approach is needed. 12. What leads to the significant growth of PANA’s membership? A. The increasing cost of AI narration.　　　　　B. The decline of the audiobook industry. C. The growing concern about AI’s threat.　　　D. The audience’s preference for audiobooks. 13. What does Emily Lawrence worry about? A. Many readers will be unemployed. B. Some narrators’ voices will be misused. C. AI technology will be too expensive. D. The audiobook ecosystem will be destroyed. 14. Who suggests a balanced use of AI and human narrators? A. Thad Mellroy. B. Hillary Huber. C. Emily Lawrence. D. Anthony Goff. 15. What will the text probably discuss next? A. The practical solutions in the debate. B. The market analysis of future AI tools. C. The potential challenges of AI narration. D. The negative impacts of AI on publishing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。答案写在答题卡上。 The Art of War, written by the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu, is one of the most famous and influential military texts in the world. ____16____ It is not just about war but is widely applied in business, sports, and even personal conflicts.

Mrs. Harper promised us a field trip if we finished the task perfectly. The air was thick with excitement, and all eyes were fixed on her. Some jobs were more appealing, and we were longing to be assigned the most desirable task. I was on the edge of my seat. Having been Mrs. Harper’s right-hand person last year and granted the title “the most responsible kid”, I was full of confidence. There was no doubt in my mind that I’d get the best job: taking care of Lily, our class alpaca (羊驼)。 When Mrs. Harper started reading the names, I held my breath. “Emma, teaching materials. Jake, blackboard duty.” One by one, all my classmates got their tasks. Then, it was my turn. “Judy!” My heart raced. But when she handed me a small box with silkworm eggs, my heart sank. Mrs. Harper said, “A special job for you.” But I barely heard her. “After all my hard work last year, is this really what I get?” I whispered, angry and disappointed. As soon as the bell rang, I stormed home, footsteps heavy. My mother sensed something. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked gently. I looked up, my tears welling up. “Mom, it’s unfair! Everyone else got cool jobs, but I got stuck with these small silkworm eggs! The class alpaca would have been amazing, but silkworm eggs? I don’t want to take care of them.” I exclaimed, trembling with frustration. 注意： （1）词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother wrapped her arms around me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试题答案 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分60分） 【答案】1.

Reluctantly, I decided to try. I researched silkworm care, feeding them fresh mulberry leaves daily. Gradually, tiny eggs hatched into wriggling larvae. Watching them grow, I felt a strange pride. They spun golden cocoons, and I documented each stage carefully, surprising myself with newfound dedication. Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. Mrs. Harper smiled, holding a silk scarf. “Judy’s silkworms produced this. Her effort earned our field trip!” The class cheered. Blushing, I realized Mom was right — no task was too small. Caring for fragile lives taught me patience and commitment, far beyond what I’d expected. Lily the alpaca was great, but my silkworms? They spun more than silk; they wove a lesson I’d never forget. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
