Known as natural engineers, beavers (海狸) possess an inborn ability to build dams (水坝) precisely in the right locations and ways. This unique skill recently saved the Czech government significant time and money.
In 2018, Czech authorities planned a dam project for the Klabava River. The goal was to protect the river from acidic (酸性的) water and sediment (沉积物) runoff from nearby ponds. Crucially, the dam would also create a protected wetland habitat, vital for endangered crayfish and overall biodiversity. Wetlands serve as essential ecological resources, acting as homes for diverse plants and animals. In addition, they are natural water filters, improving water quality.
However, the project failed to progress for years. The intended site, former army training grounds, was entangled in ownership conflicts. Human efforts to start construction were stuck.
Fortunately, a family of beavers intervened. Unconcerned with land ownership, they moved into the valley around the problematic ponds — the very area planned for small dams. Within days, they began constructing dams where humans had failed to act for years.
So far, the beavers have successfully built four dams and are starting on more. The resulting wetlands are even larger than the government’s original plan. Remarkably, they achieved this perfectly and at zero cost. Estimates suggest the beavers saved the Czech government approximately $1.2 million.
Bohumil Fišer from the Czech Nature Conservation Agency said, “It’s full service: beavers are absolutely fantastic and when they are in an area where they can’t cause damage, they do a brilliant job.”
Over the centuries, humans have achieved incredible works of engineering including building skyscrapers, bridges, and even space shuttles. And yet, there is still nothing that compares to a simple beavers’ dam. The case of the dams on the Klabava River is proof that it is always better to work in concert with nature than against it. After all, nature can often do the job better and cheaper than humans can.
4. What was a goal of the Czech government’s dam project on the Klabava River?
A. To boost tourism in the area.
B. To remove sediment from the river completely.
C. To develop former army training grounds.
D. To protect the river from acidic water pollution.
5. What does the underlined word “entangled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Caught. B. Sold. C. Protected. D. Ignored.
6. What is Bohumil Fišer’s attitude toward the beavers’ work?
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Approving. D. Critical.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Wetlands: Key to Ecological Protection
B. Beavers: Natural Engineers Saving Costs
C. Czech Government: A Failed Project Leader
D. Dam Projects: Challenges of Engineering
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海狸天生具有在正确位置和以正确方式建造水坝的能力,它们帮助捷克政府解决了水坝建设难题,节省了时间和资金。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2018, Czech authorities planned a dam project for the Klabava River. The goal was to protect the river from acidic (酸性的) water and sediment (沉积物) runoff from nearby ponds. (2018年,捷克当局计划在克拉巴瓦河上建设一个大坝项目。目标是保护河流免受附近池塘的酸性水和沉积物径流的影响)”可知,捷克政府在克拉巴瓦河上的水坝项目的目标是保护河流免受酸性水污染。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在部分“The intended site, former army training grounds, was entangled in ownership conflicts. Human efforts to start construction were stuck. (预定的地点,即前军队训练场,entangled在所有权纠纷中。人类启动建设的努力陷入了困境)”中“ownership conflicts”和“were stuck”可推知,由于该场地陷入所有权纠纷,所以建设工作无法开展。故划线词“entangled”的意思是“陷入、卷入”,与A项“Caught”意思相近。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Bohumil Fišer from the Czech Nature Conservation Agency said, ‘It’s full service: beavers are absolutely fantastic and when they are in an area where they can’t cause damage, they do a brilliant job.’ (捷克自然保护局的博胡米尔·菲舍尔说:‘这是全方位的服务:海狸绝对棒极了,当它们在一个不会造成破坏的区域时,它们做得非常出色。’)”可知,Bohumil Fišer对海狸的工作持赞成态度。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Known as natural engineers, beavers (海狸) possess an inborn ability to build dams (水坝) precisely in the right locations and ways. This unique skill recently saved the Czech government significant time and money. (海狸被称为自然工程师,它们天生具有在正确的位置和以正确的方式建造水坝的能力。这项独特的技能最近为捷克政府节省了大量的时间和资金)”可知,本文主要讲述了海狸作为自然工程师帮助捷克政府节省成本的事情。故B项“Beavers: Natural Engineers Saving Costs(海狸:节省成本的自然工程师)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选B项。
C
Geothermal (地热的) energy offers constant, clean power with very little land use, making it ideal for Indonesia and the Philippines. These nations possess huge geothermal potential due to their volcanic locations on the seismically (地震地) active Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where heat naturally rises close to the surface.
Indonesia and the Philippines rank second and third globally in geothermal use but access only a small amount of their reserves. Indonesia makes use of less than 10% of its potential, supplying just 6% of its power. The Philippines has developed about 8% of its capacity, making geothermal energy its largest renewable source at 14.6% of energy use.
Both countries aim to expand significantly: Indonesia targets geothermal energy as its second-largest renewable source by 2030, while the Philippines plans projects adding nearly 1.5 gigawatts.
The major challenge is high initial costs and risks, especially during the expensive exploratory drilling phase needed to confirm suitable sites. “Developers cannot take 100% of the exploration risk themselves,” explains Shigeru Yamamura of the Asian Development Bank. “Climate finance for geothermal energy in Southeast Asia remains limited, accounting for only 9% of the ASEAN’s (Association of Southeast Asian Nations’) renewable funding,” he adds.
Solutions include integrated finance (combining public/private funds, donations and green bonds) and policy reforms. Indonesia is simplifying permits and improving investment returns, while the Philippines is carrying out targeted green energy sales and smart power network plans to attract private investors. International support includes a $150 million World Bank loan for Indonesia and $127.5 million from climate funds to reduce exploration risks.
Even with funding, community resistance can hold up projects. In Indonesia, villagers near sites like Dieng have protested about safety fears following deadly gas leaks and environmental impacts. Timothy Ravis of Cornell University notes some communities lack understanding of geothermal benefits. In the Philippines, concerns about land degradation among native groups have led companies to negotiate royalty payments. Experts stress that gaining community agreement is crucial. Demonstrating concrete local benefits, such as steady employment and public facilities, is key to unlocking this powerful clean energy source beneath Southeast Asia.
8. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate?
A. Achieved expansion targets. B. Vast geothermal potential.
C. High development efficiency. D. Dominance of traditional energy.
9. What can be inferred about geothermal exploration from Yamamura’s statement?
A. Risk-sharing strategies are essential.
B. International loans do away with all risks.
C. Private investors avoid renewable projects.
D. Governments should fully fund drilling phases.
10. What measure is Indonesia taking to support geothermal development?
A. Addressing community safety protests.
B. Running green energy sales programs.
C. Increasing investment returns.
D. Providing $150 million exploration loans.
11. Why does the author mention deadly gas leaks in Dieng?
A. To stress the need for international loans.
B. To explain technical challenges in drilling.
C. To illustrate causes of community resistance.
D. To compare safety standards in two countries.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了印度尼西亚和菲律宾两国在地热能源开发方面的现状、挑战以及应对措施。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段“Indonesia and the Philippines rank second and third globally in geothermal use but access only a small amount of their reserves. Indonesia makes use of less than 10% of its potential, supplying just 6% of its power. The Philippines has developed about 8% of its capacity, making geothermal energy its largest renewable source at 14.6% of energy use.(印度尼西亚和菲律宾在全球地热能使用方面排名第二和第三,但仅利用了其储量的一小部分。印度尼西亚利用了不到其潜力的10%,仅提供了其6%的电力。菲律宾已经开发了约8%的产能,使地热能成为其最大的可再生能源,占能源使用的14.6%)”可推知,这些数据表明,尽管两国在地热能利用上已有一定规模,但与其巨大的地热能潜力相比,实际利用的仍然很少,从而突出了两国拥有巨大的地热能潜力。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第四段“The major challenge is high initial costs and risks, especially during the expensive exploratory drilling phase needed to confirm suitable sites. “Developers cannot take 100% of the exploration risk themselves,” explains Shigeru Yamamura of the Asian Development Bank. “Climate finance for geothermal energy in Southeast Asia remains limited, accounting for only 9% of the ASEAN’s(Association of Southeast Asian Nations’) renewable funding,” he adds.(主要挑战是初期成本高、风险大,尤其是在确认合适地点的昂贵的勘探钻井阶段。“开发商不能自己承担100%的勘探风险,”亚洲开发银行的Shigeru Yamamura解释道。“东南亚地热能的气候融资仍然有限,仅占东盟可再生资金总额的9%,”他补充道)”可推知,Yamamura的陈述表明地热勘探需要风险分担策略,因为开发商不能独自承担全部风险。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第五段中“Solutions include integrated finance(combining public/private funds, donations and green bonds) and policy reforms. Indonesia is simplifying permits and improving investment returns, while the Philippines is carrying out targeted green energy sales and smart power network plans to attract private investors.(解决方案包括综合融资(结合公共/私人资金、捐赠和绿色债券)和政策改革。印度尼西亚正在简化许可证审批流程并提高投资回报率,而菲律宾正在开展有针对性的绿色能源销售和智能电网计划,以吸引私人投资者)”可知,印度尼西亚正在采取提高投资回报率的措施来支持地热能的发展。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Even with funding, community resistance can hold up projects. In Indonesia, villagers near sites like Dieng have protested about safety fears following deadly gas leaks and environmental impacts. Timothy Ravis of Cornell University notes some communities lack understanding of geothermal benefits. In the Philippines, concerns about land degradation among native groups have led companies to negotiate royalty payments. Experts stress that gaining community agreement is crucial. Demonstrating concrete local benefits, such as steady employment and public facilities, is key to unlocking this powerful clean energy source beneath Southeast Asia.(即使有资金支持,社区的抵制也可能阻碍项目的进行。在印度尼西亚,像Dieng等地的村民因致命气体泄漏和对环境的影响而抗议安全问题。康奈尔大学的Timothy Ravis指出,一些社区缺乏对地热能益处的了解。在菲律宾,土著群体对土地退化的担忧促使公司与他们协商支付特许权使用费。专家强调,获得社区的同意至关重要。展示具体的当地利益,如稳定的就业和公共设施,是解锁东南亚地下这种强大的清洁能源的关键)”可推知,作者提到Dieng的致命气体泄漏是为了说明社区抵制地热能项目的原因之一,即安全问题。故选C。
D
Meditative (冥想的) drawing provides a unique pathway to inner peace, particularly valuable for individuals who find traditional seated meditation challenging. This accessible practice combines creativity with mindfulness, emphasizing presence over artistic skills or final outcomes. With only paper, a pen and a willingness to explore thoughts without judgment, meditative drawing highlights the beauty in the simplicity of its process, which is noted by sources like Journal Smarter and Calm.
Engaging in this mindful creation delivers significant mental and emotional benefits. It serves as an expressive channel for internal experiences, potentially revealing feelings that are hard to put into words. Beyond self-discovery, it effectively reduces anxiety by shifting focus from worries to the physical act of drawing. Engaging deeply in creating patterns brings about a state of flow, offering relief from daily pressures. Similar to the focus of meditation on breath, mindful drawing concentrates on emerging lines and patterns. Additional advantages include sharpened focus, heightened self-awareness, boosted creativity, and a reawakened sense of playful joy often lost in adulthood.
Beginning this practice is straightforward. Find a quiet space and sit comfortably. Relax your drawing hand, allowing the pen to move smoothly across the paper while staying aware of its movement, contact with the surface, and accompanying thoughts. Simple starting exercises include connecting pen movements to your breathing patterns — moving it up as you breathe in and down as you breathe out — to keep your focus in the present moment. Another method involves drawing continuous circles, focusing intently on the pen’s tip while maintaining awareness of the expanding design, and carefully closing each circle to enhance concentration.
Crucially, there is no right or wrong approach — every line remains uniquely personal. Preferences vary widely — some enjoy simple shapes, while others prefer detailed patterns or nature sketching (素描). Integrating just five minutes of meditative drawing daily transforms ordinary moments into opportunities for mindfulness, creative expression, and enjoyment. This practice demonstrates that deep peace emerges not exclusively through silent stillness, but equally through the mindful act of guiding a pen across paper. This simple movement becomes a way to access reduced stress, deeper self-understanding, and enhanced focus within daily life, making creativity an accessible tool for calmness.
12. What can we learn about meditative drawing according to the text?
A. It needs professional artistic training.
B. It is more effective than traditional meditation.
C. It is intended for creative people.
D. It reduces anxiety by directing focus to drawing.
13. Which of the following is suggested as a starting exercise for meditative drawing?
A. Connecting pen movements to breathing.
B. Repeating simple line moves.
C. Analyzing the meaning of various shapes.
D. Creating circular patterns with eyes closed.
14. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Using colored pencils for effects. B. Following strict rules for correctness.
C. Spending 30 minutes practicing daily. D. Valuing personal expression over skills.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Psychological effects of creative expression.
B. Benefits and practices of meditative drawing.
C. Technical skills for professional sketching.
D. Commercial applications of artistic meditation.

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国正在经历一场由人工智能驱动的教育变革。空处需用名词transformation“变革”,作动词experiencing的宾语。故填transformation。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在贵州省贵阳市的一所中学里,英语老师曾星使用中国一家领先的科技公司开发的智能教室系统。本句已有谓语uses,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;名词短语a smart classroom system与动词develop之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词作后置定语。故填developed。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:她通过平板电脑给学生布置作业,学生们可以立即提交答案。空处为句子的谓语动词,句子陈述一般事实,所以需用一般现在时态,主语是第三人称单数she,所以空处谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填assigns。

【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它还通过来自庞大数据库的交互式对话帮助学生提高口语技能。根据空后“vast database”可知,此处表示泛指,指一个庞大的数据库,所以空处需用不定冠词a/an,vast以辅音音素开头,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:学校校长黄辉表示:“对于交通系统具有挑战性、教育资源有限的偏远地区的基础教育来说,人工智能创造了机会。”空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是areas,指地点,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:在清华大学附属小学,学生们参加人工智能辅助的体育活动。participate in“参加”,固定短语,所以空处需用介词in。故填in。
【44题详解】

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。
Max had spent years wandering the city streets, surviving on odd jobs and the kindness of strangers. His days were tough — searching for food, sleeping on cold floors, and wondering if anyone would ever look beyond his old, torn clothes to see the hardworking person inside. He always asked for work, determined to earn his way even in the darkest times.
One morning, while sweeping the sidewalk outside a cafe, he met Elena, a kind-hearted owner who noticed his quiet determination. She’d grown up in poverty herself and knew how hard it was to keep dignity when life kept pushing her down. “You can clean tables inside tomorrow, she said, handing him a sandwich. “Start at seven.” Then, after a pause, she added softly, “And if you need a place to rest tonight, the cafe has a small storeroom with a bed.” “Max felt deeply grateful. No one had ever offered him shelter — not just a meal, but a moment of safety. His heart was filled with a mixture of relief and hope, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in years.
Elena became more than an employer. She let him use the cafe’s back room to store his belongings, gave him old shirts from her son, and even shared leftovers from the kitchen on slow days. Max threw himself into work, cleaning floors until they shone, restocking supplies without being asked, and even learning to make coffee for early-morning regulars.
Weeks later, Elena noticed Max’s talent for fixing small things around the cafe. “You’re really good at this,” she said. To his surprise, she offered to pay for a weekend woodworking workshop at the local community center.
At the workshop, Max discovered his passion for carpentry (木工). He spent his nights drawing designs in a notebook that Elena had given him, often pausing to picture the outline of a display case in his mind — he still remembered how she had shaken her head at the café’s display case, saying it was too small.
With each passing day, Max felt capable and his confidence grew. As his skills improved, so did his savings. Eventually, Max saved enough to rent a small house.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day he moved into his house, Elena arrived.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To express his gratitude, Max surprised Elena with a gift.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
On the day he moved into his house, Elena arrived. She brought a cardboard box filled with kitchen items and a hand-me-down quilt. “Congratulations on your new home,” she said. “I hope these will make it feel warmer.” Max stood in the tiny space, surrounded by the first real possessions he’d ever owned, and realized how much her belief in him had changed everything. That night, lying in bed, he decided to repay her kindness.
To express his gratitude, Mar surprised Elena with a gift. On a rainy afternoon, he asked her to open the cafe’s storage closet. Inside was a shiny wooden display case for the counter, with glass doors showing her homemade cookies and cakes. “You said the old case was too small,” Max said. Elena asked, “You made this?” He nodded, “With the skills from the class you paid for.” She hugged him, tears in her eyes. The case wasn’t just for the cookies and cakes — it showed how kindness could grow into something beautiful, built by hand and heart.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了老板埃琳娜收留了流浪者马克斯并给他提供了一份在自己咖啡馆打工的机会,在发现马克斯有修理小物件的天赋后出资助他周末学习。后来马克斯凭借努力拥有了自己的房子,他亲自为埃琳娜做了一个崭新的木质展示柜作为回报。文章的主题是善良很重要。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在他搬进新家的那天,埃琳娜来了。”可知,第一段可描写埃琳娜为马克斯庆祝乔迁之喜并送上礼物。埃琳娜走后马克斯决心要回报她。
②由第二段首句内容“为了表达感激之情,马克斯给埃琳娜准备了一份惊喜。”可知,第二段要讲述马克斯给埃琳娜是木质展示柜照应前文的伏笔,然后升华主题。
2.续写线索:贺乔迁——送礼物——决定报答——回馈礼物——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①拥有:own/have/possess
②报答:repay/pay back
③请求:ask/request
情绪类
①流泪:tears in her eyes/shed tears
【点睛】[高分句型1].Max stood in the tiny space, surrounded by the first real possessions he’d ever owned, and realized how much her belief in him had changed everything.(surrounded by the first real possessions 是过去分词结构作后置定语;he’d ever owned是省略that的定语从句修饰possessions;how much her belief in him had changed everything是how much引导的宾语从句作realized的宾语)
[高分句型2].Inside was a shiny wooden display case for the counter, with glass doors showing her homemade cookies and cakes. (inside置于句首引导完全倒装句;with glass doors showing是with引导的独立主格结构)

Known as natural engineers, beavers (海狸) possess an inborn ability to build dams (水坝) precisely in the right locations and ways. This unique skill recently saved the Czech government significant time and money.
In 2018, Czech authorities planned a dam project for the Klabava River. The goal was to protect the river from acidic (酸性的) water and sediment (沉积物) runoff from nearby ponds. Crucially, the dam would also create a protected wetland habitat, vital for endangered crayfish and overall biodiversity. Wetlands serve as essential ecological resources, acting as homes for diverse plants and animals. In addition, they are natural water filters, improving water quality.
However, the project failed to progress for years. The intended site, former army training grounds, was entangled in ownership conflicts. Human efforts to start construction were stuck.
Fortunately, a family of beavers intervened. Unconcerned with land ownership, they moved into the valley around the problematic ponds — the very area planned for small dams. Within days, they began constructing dams where humans had failed to act for years.
So far, the beavers have successfully built four dams and are starting on more. The resulting wetlands are even larger than the government’s original plan. Remarkably, they achieved this perfectly and at zero cost. Estimates suggest the beavers saved the Czech government approximately $1.2 million.
Bohumil Fišer from the Czech Nature Conservation Agency said, “It’s full service: beavers are absolutely fantastic and when they are in an area where they can’t cause damage, they do a brilliant job.”
Over the centuries, humans have achieved incredible works of engineering including building skyscrapers, bridges, and even space shuttles. And yet, there is still nothing that compares to a simple beavers’ dam. The case of the dams on the Klabava River is proof that it is always better to work in concert with nature than against it. After all, nature can often do the job better and cheaper than humans can.
4. What was a goal of the Czech government’s dam project on the Klabava River?
A. To boost tourism in the area.
B. To remove sediment from the river completely.
C. To develop former army training grounds.
D. To protect the river from acidic water pollution.
5. What does the underlined word “entangled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

Geothermal (地热的) energy offers constant, clean power with very little land use, making it ideal for Indonesia and the Philippines. These nations possess huge geothermal potential due to their volcanic locations on the seismically (地震地) active Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where heat naturally rises close to the surface.
Indonesia and the Philippines rank second and third globally in geothermal use but access only a small amount of their reserves. Indonesia makes use of less than 10% of its potential, supplying just 6% of its power. The Philippines has developed about 8% of its capacity, making geothermal energy its largest renewable source at 14.6% of energy use.
Both countries aim to expand significantly: Indonesia targets geothermal energy as its second-largest renewable source by 2030, while the Philippines plans projects adding nearly 1.5 gigawatts.
The major challenge is high initial costs and risks, especially during the expensive exploratory drilling phase needed to confirm suitable sites. “Developers cannot take 100% of the exploration risk themselves,” explains Shigeru Yamamura of the Asian Development Bank. “Climate finance for geothermal energy in Southeast Asia remains limited, accounting for only 9% of the ASEAN’s (Association of Southeast Asian Nations’) renewable funding,” he adds.
Solutions include integrated finance (combining public/private funds, donations and green bonds) and policy reforms. Indonesia is simplifying permits and improving investment returns, while the Philippines is carrying out targeted green energy sales and smart power network plans to attract private investors. International support includes a $150 million World Bank loan for Indonesia and $127.5 million from climate funds to reduce exploration risks.
Even with funding, community resistance can hold up projects. In Indonesia, villagers near sites like Dieng have protested about safety fears following deadly gas leaks and environmental impacts. Timothy Ravis of Cornell University notes some communities lack understanding of geothermal benefits. In the Philippines, concerns about land degradation among native groups have led companies to negotiate royalty payments. Experts stress that gaining community agreement is crucial. Demonstrating concrete local benefits, such as steady employment and public facilities, is key to unlocking this powerful clean energy source beneath Southeast Asia.
8. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate?
A. Achieved expansion targets. B. Vast geothermal potential.
C. High development efficiency. D. Dominance of traditional energy.
9. What can be inferred about geothermal exploration from Yamamura’s statement?
A. Risk-sharing strategies are essential.
B. International loans do away with all risks.
C. Private investors avoid renewable projects.
D. Governments should fully fund drilling phases.
10. What measure is Indonesia taking to support geothermal development?
A. Addressing community safety protests.
B. Running green energy sales programs.
C. Increasing investment returns.
D. Providing $150 million exploration loans.
11. Why does the author mention deadly gas leaks in Dieng?
A. To stress the need for international loans.
B. To explain technical challenges in drilling.
C. To illustrate causes of community resistance.
D. To compare safety standards in two countries.
D
Meditative (冥想的) drawing provides a unique pathway to inner peace, particularly valuable for individuals who find traditional seated meditation challenging. This accessible practice combines creativity with mindfulness, emphasizing presence over artistic skills or final outcomes. With only paper, a pen and a willingness to explore thoughts without judgment, meditative drawing highlights the beauty in the simplicity of its process, which is noted by sources like Journal Smarter and Calm.
Engaging in this mindful creation delivers significant mental and emotional benefits. It serves as an expressive channel for internal experiences, potentially revealing feelings that are hard to put into words. Beyond self-discovery, it effectively reduces anxiety by shifting focus from worries to the physical act of drawing. Engaging deeply in creating patterns brings about a state of flow, offering relief from daily pressures. Similar to the focus of meditation on breath, mindful drawing concentrates on emerging lines and patterns. Additional advantages include sharpened focus, heightened self-awareness, boosted creativity, and a reawakened sense of playful joy often lost in adulthood.
Beginning this practice is straightforward. Find a quiet space and sit comfortably. Relax your drawing hand, allowing the pen to move smoothly across the paper while staying aware of its movement, contact with the surface, and accompanying thoughts. Simple starting exercises include connecting pen movements to your breathing patterns — moving it up as you breathe in and down as you breathe out — to keep your focus in the present moment. Another method involves drawing continuous circles, focusing intently on the pen’s tip while maintaining awareness of the expanding design, and carefully closing each circle to enhance concentration.
Crucially, there is no right or wrong approach — every line remains uniquely personal. Preferences vary widely — some enjoy simple shapes, while others prefer detailed patterns or nature sketching (素描). Integrating just five minutes of meditative drawing daily transforms ordinary moments into opportunities for mindfulness, creative expression, and enjoyment. This practice demonstrates that deep peace emerges not exclusively through silent stillness, but equally through the mindful act of guiding a pen across paper. This simple movement becomes a way to access reduced stress, deeper self-understanding, and enhanced focus within daily life, making creativity an accessible tool for calmness.
12. What can we learn about meditative drawing according to the text?
A. It needs professional artistic training.
B. It is more effective than traditional meditation.
C. It is intended for creative people.
D. It reduces anxiety by directing focus to drawing.
13. Which of the following is suggested as a starting exercise for meditative drawing?
A. Connecting pen movements to breathing.
B. Repeating simple line moves.
C. Analyzing the meaning of various shapes.
D. Creating circular patterns with eyes closed.
14. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Using colored pencils for effects. B. Following strict rules for correctness.
C. Spending 30 minutes practicing daily. D. Valuing personal expression over skills.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Psychological effects of creative expression.
B. Benefits and practices of meditative drawing.
C. Technical skills for professional sketching.
D. Commercial applications of artistic meditation.

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。
Max had spent years wandering the city streets, surviving on odd jobs and the kindness of strangers. His days were tough — searching for food, sleeping on cold floors, and wondering if anyone would ever look beyond his old, torn clothes to see the hardworking person inside. He always asked for work, determined to earn his way even in the darkest times.
One morning, while sweeping the sidewalk outside a cafe, he met Elena, a kind-hearted owner who noticed his quiet determination. She’d grown up in poverty herself and knew how hard it was to keep dignity when life kept pushing her down. “You can clean tables inside tomorrow, she said, handing him a sandwich. “Start at seven.” Then, after a pause, she added softly, “And if you need a place to rest tonight, the cafe has a small storeroom with a bed.” “Max felt deeply grateful. No one had ever offered him shelter — not just a meal, but a moment of safety. His heart was filled with a mixture of relief and hope, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in years.
Elena became more than an employer. She let him use the cafe’s back room to store his belongings, gave him old shirts from her son, and even shared leftovers from the kitchen on slow days. Max threw himself into work, cleaning floors until they shone, restocking supplies without being asked, and even learning to make coffee for early-morning regulars.
Weeks later, Elena noticed Max’s talent for fixing small things around the cafe. “You’re really good at this,” she said. To his surprise, she offered to pay for a weekend woodworking workshop at the local community center.
At the workshop, Max discovered his passion for carpentry (木工). He spent his nights drawing designs in a notebook that Elena had given him, often pausing to picture the outline of a display case in his mind — he still remembered how she had shaken her head at the café’s display case, saying it was too small.
With each passing day, Max felt capable and his confidence grew. As his skills improved, so did his savings. Eventually, Max saved enough to rent a small house.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day he moved into his house, Elena arrived.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To express his gratitude, Max surprised Elena with a gift.
