It helped to kick-start Dickens's career, and continues to excite readers’imaginations today. Picturing Pickwick explores the illustrations of this incredible book, which began with the cooperation between Dickens and the illustrator Robert Seymour. The exhibition, which runs from 6th April 2024 to 11th September2024, explores the relationship between Dickens and his illustrators, and includes originalillustrations of The Pickwick Papers, a page of the original manuscript, and historicmonthly instalments(连载)of the story, some of which was penned here at 48 Doughty Street. The exhibition showcases a series of works by Anna Marongiu, an Italian artist who created 262 illustrations of The Pickwick Papers between 1928 and 1929. These rich artworks picture scenes from the novel that have rarely been illustrated. This is the first time they have been on display in the UK to celebrate the unique talent of Marongiu, whose own life was cut short in 1941 by a plane crash when she was just 34. Her Pickwick series was given to the Charles Dickens Museum by her family in the 1980s. The Pickwick Papers caused a sensation when it was published, inspiring‘Pickwick Clubs’and societies to be set up in honour of the work. The exhibition features items including an 1837 Pickwick Club MinuteBook, which records the debates of one such society. The display will also note the international reaction to the novel, exploring how the story came to Italy, where it would inspire such incredible artistry within Marongiu. Admission: Adult: £12.50;Child 6-16 years: £7.50; Child < 6 years: Free. Address: The Charles Dickens Museum, 48 Doughty Street, London WC1N2LX. 21. What can be learned about the exhibition? A.

She did her Pickwick series in the 1920s. 23. How much should a 5-year-old boy and his parents pay for the exhibition? A. £20.00. B. £25.00. C. £32.50. D. £37.50. B In 2023, the fossil (化石)of a prehistoric bird was discovered in China. The bird, called Baminornis, lived 150 million years ago. It may be the oldest bird ever discovered and changes the timeline of bird evolution, a study has found. Baminornis is the second bird known to have lived during the Jurassic period(侏罗纪时代). The first, called Archaeopteryx, was discovered in 1862 in Germany. Archaeopteryx had many dinosaur-like features, which helped scientists determine that birds had evolved from dinosaurs. For more than 150 years after Archaeopteryx was found, however, no other birds from that period were discovered. That left scientists with a gap in knowledge about bird evolution. They thought there were other flying birds during that period, but they had no fossil to prove it. The discovery of Baminornis changed that and also helped scientists understand the process of bird evolution better. Though Archaeopteryx and Baminornis are from the same period, they have key differences. Archaeopteryx was about the size of a modern crow(乌鸦)and could only fly for a short time. Baminornis was smaller. Like modern birds, it had a short tail that helped it fly smoothly. The development of short tails was essential in helping birds evolve into better flyers. The tail on Baminornis indicated that it was more advanced in its evolution compared to Archaeopteryx. “When dinosaurs evolved into birds, the biggest change is the shrinkage of the tail.” said Min Wang, who led the research. Before Baminornis was discovered, scientists had only found birds with short tails that lived about 20 million years later. But Baminornis suggested that bird evolution started millions of years earlier than researchers previously realized. 24. Why is the discovery of Baminornis significant? A. It helped scientists determine the origin of birds. B. It filled the gap in knowledge about bird evolution. C. It contributed to the discovery of Archaeopteryx. D. It helped scientists discover other birds from the Jurassic period. 25. How did Baminornis differ from Archaeopteryx? A. Baminornis was larger in size. B. Baminornis could fly better. C.Baminornis looked more like dinosaurs. D. Baminornis lived in the Jurassic period. 26. What does the underlined word “shrinkage” mean in paragraph 4? A. Reduction. B.Expansion. C.Disappearance. D.Growth. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Baminornis: an outstanding flyer B. Scientists map the bird evolution C.Archaeopteryx: the origin of birds D. Baminornis fossil rewrites bird history C One of the top sources of added sugar in children's diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it's aimed directly at kids under 12-but not when it targets adults. In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased(购买) by 77,000 U.S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw-both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate(终极的)weapon” in influencing family spending because they constantly ask their parents to purchase, a concept known as “pester power". The food industry launched the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 - later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children's exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren't making a difference. Advertisements, like kids' eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. 28. What did the study find about child-targeted food ads? A. They had no connection with adults' purchases. B. They were less effective than adult-targeted ads. C. They might affect children's health in the long run. D. They could reduce children's interest in sugary food. 29.What does the underlined phrase “pester power" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Parents’unconditional love. B.Children’s uncontrolled spending. C. Parents' growing consumption, D. Children's repeated purchase requests. 30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. An expectation for further study B. The follow-up influence of the study C. A limitation of the research method. D. The potential application of the findings. 31. What is Tallie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts? A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned. D For centuries, what makes human creativity so precious is not only the final products it yields(产出 ), but also the effort behind their creation. But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters? How does human-made art survives? Throughout history, the most famous works of art, literature, and music have carried a sense of labor, dedication, and mastery. We don't just admire the end product; we admire how it came to be. Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill -- it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human. As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we're entering an era of “aesthetic inflation", where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie-like storytelling are available(可获得的) to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, does human creations still have value? But human imperfection isn't a weakness--it's part of who we are, shaping our understanding of humanity. Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren't just difficulties to overcome - they're part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI's ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural - a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection - but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI-generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience. Therefore, to preserve meaning, selection and context become more crucial. As AI can produce endless content, the human elements like context, narrative and the reasoning behind art become the true value source. Also, AI can be a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, refining ideas while keeping human imperfection and feeling, and acting as an amplifier(放大镜) of human vision. 32.Why do masterpieces like“Starry Night”remain valuable in the AI era? A. They represent unique human characteristics. B. They showcase brilliant artistic creation skill. C. They are created through long production processes. D. They contain human emotional depth and creative effort. 33. Why does the author mention “aesthetic inflation”in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate AI's efficiency in art creation. B. To prove that AI-generated art is more affordable. C. To criticize the overuse of technology in art creation. D. To stress the decline in value of beauty due to mass production. 34. How does the author develop the argument in the passage? A. By giving examples. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparisons. D. By making classifications. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Guide to Perfect Art with AI. B. How to Create Art in the Age of AI C. Why Human Art Still Matters in the AI Age. D. A New Revolution in Art Creation brought by AI 第二节 七选五（共5小题 满分12.5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。 Most of us enjoy travelling, whether we're traveling abroad, or exploring where we live.

But he didn’t make any sales. Feeling very sad, he almost wanted to give up. Also, his stomach was growling loudly because he hadn’t eaten for days. With no other option, he decided to ask for food at the next house. He was a bit scared as he knocked on the door, not sure what to say. When the door opened, a kind-looking young woman stood there. Howard got even more nervous. “Could… could you give me a drink of water?” he asked, looking down at his feet. The woman saw how thin and tired the boy was. She thought he needed something more than just water to feel better, so she brought him a glass of milk instead. Howard held the cup with his small hands and drank the milk slowly. Then he asked, “How much do I have to pay you?” The woman smiled kindly and said, “You don’t need to pay me anything. My mother always told me that we should help others without asking for money in return.” Howard was so touched. “Thank you so much!” he said with a big smile. As he walked away, he felt not only stronger in his body but also more hopeful about people. Many years passed. The kind young woman became very sick. The doctors in her small town couldn’t help her, so they sent her to a big hospital in the city. There, many famous doctors would try to cure her. One of them was Dr. Howard Kelly.

With no other option, he decided to ask for food at the next house. He was a bit scared as he knocked on the door, not sure what to say. When the door opened, a kind-looking young woman stood there. Howard got even more nervous. “Could… could you give me a drink of water?” he asked, looking down at his feet. The woman saw how thin and tired the boy was. She thought he needed something more than just water to feel better, so she brought him a glass of milk instead. Howard held the cup with his small hands and drank the milk slowly. Then he asked, “How much do I have to pay you?” The woman smiled kindly and said, “You don’t need to pay me anything. My mother always told me that we should help others without asking for money in return.” Howard was so touched. “Thank you so much!” he said with a big smile. As he walked away, he felt not only stronger in his body but also more hopeful about people. Many years passed. The kind young woman became very sick.
