B Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color. After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu's works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years. While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings. "Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork. Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. "Art is part of my life," Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts. 24. What does the underlined word "zeal" in paragraph 1 mean? A. Request. B. Passion. C. Justice. D. Fund. 25. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu? A. His school life. B. His painting techniques. C. His achievements in painting. D. His contributions to the art school. 26. Which is Yu's painting feature? A. Adopting abstract objects. B. Excluding plants and animals. C. Combining traditional rules with a realistic style. D. Representing the imbalance between nature and humans. 27. What does Yu expect of his painting style? A. It will be passed on. B. It will change over time. C. It will look more complicated. D. It will reach the top international level. C From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passenger this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and Aedo Project—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows. The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button,the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image,its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing. “As the prototype started taking shape,we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo, one director of GTB Roma,said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and institutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.” The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advantaged indeed a kind and influential action. 28. How does the smart car window work? A. By changing shades of colors. B. By recording the view with a camera. C. By classifying shaking movements. D. By translating scenery into vibrations. 29. What does Federico Russo say about the technology? A. It will have wide application. B. It will be tested across the world. C. It will be used in schools first. D. It will understand many languages. 30. What difficulty is Ford facing? A. Developing autonomous cars. B. Exploring their future business model. C. Providing route information. D. Applying the technology to everyday life. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips B. Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views C. Technology Makes the Blind’s Trip Enjoyable D. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive D Awe(敬畏) experiences typically involve the perception of something incredibly vast or powerful, something that challenges one’s understanding of the world. These are often, but not always, encounters with nature, such as looking over mountains from an airplane, or standing at the foot of an enormous tree. New developmental research suggests the experience of awe is crucial for a child to grow stronger. Historically, awe has featured in psychological accounts of peak experiences. William James spoke extensively about various spiritual moments that intensely moved him and shaped his viewpoint. He felt strongly these peak experiences made for the deeper development of a person’s inner world. Contemporary researchers theorize that awe may have helped our ancestors survive throughout history and continues to impart positive effects today. Previous studies have shown awe can be instrumental to the formation of social groups and can set off helpful social behaviors among adults. But our research shows that perceptions of awe start much earlier in life. Four to nine-year-old children perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences and differentiate them from everyday experiences. When watching fantastic footage (影片片段) of sweeping natural scenes, the children perceived themselves as smaller — a phenomenon known as the “small self”— in comparison with how they felt after watching footage of everyday nature imagery. They further reported being filled with power, believing they were capable of achieving great things. Additionally, they felt a sense of curiosity and a desire to explore more, seeing themselves as adventurers on a journey of discovery. In our busy lives, nevertheless, potential moments of awe often get overlooked. With the pressure to achieve seeping (渗透) into childhood earlier and earlier, it’s easy to understand why you, as a parent, might be more focused on getting your children to the next activity or competition. However, as you become more receptive to sources of awe and knowledgeable about its importance during development, you’ll most likely see them obtain considerable advantages when giving awe experiences greater priority. 32. Which aspect of awe experience does the new study highlight? A. Its historical origin.  B. Places of its occurrence. C. Its benefits for kids.  D. Its impacts on adults’ behavior. 33. What does the underlined word “impart” mean in paragraph 3? A. Restrict. B. Withdraw. C. Generate. D. Transform. 34. How did the children feel when viewing footage of breathtaking scenery? A. Contented. B. Motivated. C. Panicked. D. Confused. 35. What’s the purpose of the author in writing the last paragraph? A. To appeal to parents for a change.    B. To advocate a care-free childhood life. C. To state his point on the fast-paced society.    D. To describe a common cultural phenomenon. 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。 While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being. Explore design tricks companies use to arrest attention.

These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens remove some negative thoughts. Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misintormation. AI is rapidly changing the world. Recommendation, algorithms, which determine what we do and do not see in our search results, can have very real consequences.      39      By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.

Alex, who lived in a suburban neighborhood, was getting ready for bed when he heard the sound of fire alarms and screams coming from the outside. He quickly realized that there was a fire in his neighborhood and that his neighbors might be in danger. He looked outside and saw that one of his neighbors’ houses was on fire. He knew that he had to act quickly to help his neighbors. After calling 911, he ran outside and heard his neighbors’ little son crying inside their burning house. “He must be quite scared,” Alex thought. Alex quickly assessed the situation and found that the house was almost surrounded by flames (火焰). The best way out was through the front door, but it was blocked by fire as well. He knew that he had to find another way to help the boy escape. He ran back to his house, grabbed a ladder and then rushed toward his neighbors’ house. He placed the ladder against the second-story window and managed to help the little boy climb down to safety. Once the boy was safe on the ground, Alex climbed up into the burning house again to see if anyone else was trapped. As he made his way through the smoke, he heard cries for help from a bedroom on the third floor. He quickly ran up the stairs and found an elderly woman who was too weak to move. Alex quickly picked her up and carried her down the stairs to safety. By this time, many firemen had arrived, and they managed to put out the flames. Looking around, Alex saw that other houses in the neighborhood were also on fire. He realized that the fire was spreading quickly and that more people needed help. Without hesitation, Alex joined those firemen, who were working tirelessly to put out the flames. He helped elderly neighbors, families with young children, and even pets. 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。 After hours of effort, fortunately, the fire was finally put out.._________ When he woke up the next morning, a call from his principal came in.________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
