Two years ago, artist Dave Clark exhibited his artwork at the local Mantel Gallery — a small, repurposed Little Free Library that does double duty: When it’s not filled with books, it shows the works of artists like Clark.
Clark was struck by the idea. “That’s cool,” Clark said. While his neighborhood had many artists, he noted, it did not have any galleries. So he designed and built a micro-gallery (微型画廊) with his wife. He set it up in the front yard of their house and named it Gallery 17.
Later, the couple organized an exhibition for local artist Cody Lusby. About 40 people showed up. Soon, others began asking Clark to build micro-galleries for them. And then, artists from around Los Angeles and as far away as Ecuador began asking to show their works. At a time of falling support for public arts and artists, these micro-galleries have created neighborhood art areas.
After retiring in 2016, Clark founded an art center connecting artists. He had long grown tired of the traditional “pay to play” process. Art galleries chose only a select few to be shown while artists were spending several hundred dollars a year getting in various places just for exposure (曝光). At this art center, Clark charges $450 for the materials, building and set-up. The artists receive 100% of the profits (收益) for any work sold.
Some artists who’ve never shown their works ask to exhibit their work. Recently one of Clark’s neighbors asked to exhibit his partner’s father’s work. “He’s an artist in his 80s. For artists like him, this is such a cool, fun thing. It represents their first individual show. And that’s a proud achievement,” Clark said.
“It’s important that art become a part of everyday life,” said Linda Grimes, the director of a local art area. “Not everybody is welcome to go into an art gallery or a museum. Artists of local art areas started painting those traffic signal boxes so that people could see art and appreciate it outside, on the street every day. And then they painted large ones.”
4. What inspired Clark to set up Gallery 17?
A. Some local artists’ invitation. B. A library designer’s suggestion.
C. His experience with Mantel Gallery. D. His intention to start a new business.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The great support from the neighbours.
B. The growing interest in micro-galleries.
C The major benefit of running local galleries.
D. The need for cooperation in artistic creation.
6. How can Clark’s art center benefit artists?
A. By encouraging charity events. B. By providing low-cost training.
C. By sharing information on art orders. D. By offering a cost-effective platform.
7. What do Linda’s words suggest about local art areas?
A. They help to broaden artists’ themes.
B. They allow the public to enjoy art easily.
C. They inspire people to create their own art.
D. They fail to gain popularity like art galleries.
C
Science and social studies textbooks are often difficult for first- and second-grade students. So traditional teaching methods in North Carolina encourage teachers to remove English-learning students from those content classes to focus on their language skills instead. But a new study finds that it is not really like this.
By creating a 10-week literacy (读写能力) program, which kept English learners in science and social studies classes, researchers saw improvements in their ability to use new vocabulary and write articles. The study highlights the importance of introducing English learners to subject-based content, said Jackie Relyea, assistant professor of literacy education at North Carolina State University.
The literacy program observed students in 30 primary schools in North Carolina. The researchers provide informational texts for those students. They applied methods like read-alouds, group research and concept mapping (概念图) to build students’ vocabulary and understanding of difficult topics. Concept mapping refers to using drawings or similar aids to show connections between ideas.
Clearly, the study found that English learners had similar levels of improvement in science and social studies as their classmates skilled in English. Besides, the program did not lead to negative results elsewhere, which supports the idea that English-learning students can attend more advanced classes without falling behind. This further suggests that content-rich literacy instruction may help narrow the achievement gap when it comes to English learning.
“One thing we noticed is the importance of using well-organized texts that cover the same topic. In more traditional literacy instruction, topics usually changed quickly and there wasn’t always a clear connection that the students could hold on to. By focusing on similar subjects for longer, kids can dig deeper and develop more in-depth knowledge. It also helps them become experts in the subject matter, which greatly improves their vocabulary and understanding skills,” Relyea said.
The study challenges common beliefs about English learners, showing they can deal with difficult subjects even with limited English skills. Relyea suggested that more research on adding small-group lessons could make the program even more effective.
8 What does the new study focus on?
A. Mistakes in traditional teaching. B. English learners’ subject access.
C. Students’ ways to learn vocabulary. D. The role of language skills in writing.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the literacy program?
A. Its main challenges. B. Its target audiences.
C. Its educational goals. D. Its teaching strategies.
10. Which is the key finding about English learners in the program?
A. They experienced equal progress.
B. They required extra help to keep up.
C. They showed curiosity about various topics.
D. They performed poorly in advanced courses.
11. What matters for literacy instruction according to Relyea?
A. Using simple texts in early classes.
B. Changing between a variety of themes.
C. Allowing students time for self-learning.
D. Providing similar topic learning materials.
D
Polar bears have a thick layer (层) of fat below two layers of fur that help hold their body heat. These layers keep them so warm that adult bears can quickly overheat when they run. However, ice does not build up on the fur, despite the bears spending nearly all of their time in and around freezing cold water. This unique feature has caught the attention of scientists, who are eager to understand its secrets.
To learn more about it, a research team collected hair from six polar bears in the wild. They tested how strongly ice stuck to the fur. Next, they checked if water rolled off the fur before turning into ice. They then compared the performance of polar bear hair with human hair and two human-made ski skins.
“The grease (油脂) quickly jumped out as being the key factor causing this ice-preventing effect, as we discovered the ice-holding ability was obviously altered when the hair was washed,” said Julian Carolan, a study co-author. “Unwashed, greasy hair made it much harder for ice to hold on to. In contrast, when the polar bear hair was washed and the grease was largely removed, it performed similarly to human hair, to which ice attaches readily.”
This grease also helps explain more about the hunting strategies of polar bears. Polar bears use still hunting, where they lay completely still next to a breathing hole in the ice for underwater animals. “Sometimes, in still hunting, the polar bear quietly moves into the water using its back feet to follow its food. The less the ice sticks to them, the less noise is produced and the faster and quieter the movement,” said Bodil Holst, an experimental physicist at the University of Bergen in Norway.
In addition to learning more about these masters of adaptation, the study can help work out new solutions that keep away ice, leading to healthier and stronger fabrics (织物), skis, snowboards, and more. The natural fatty coatings found in bears are expected to inform the development of more sustainable coatings, which could serve as replacements for harmful long-lasting chemicals like PFAS, which have been commonly used in ice-preventing applications.
12. What about polar bears has drawn scientists’ interest?
A. Their unique ability to stay ice-free. B. Their usual presence in freezing water.
C. Their fear of overheating during activity. D. Their power to survive in tough conditions.
13. What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Covered. B. Weakened. C. Changed. D. Separated.
14. How does the grease benefit polar bears according to Bodil Holst?
A. It prevents injury risks. B. It tricks their target animals.
C. It is helpful for storing energy. D. It enables them to hunt more easily.
15. What possible progress can polar bears’ fatty coatings inspire?
A. Creating safer ice protection materials. B. Improving the survival skills of wildlife.
C. Designing products with fewer coatings. D. Making sports equipment work smoothly.

Two years ago, artist Dave Clark exhibited his artwork at the local Mantel Gallery — a small, repurposed Little Free Library that does double duty: When it’s not filled with books, it shows the works of artists like Clark.
Clark was struck by the idea. “That’s cool,” Clark said. While his neighborhood had many artists, he noted, it did not have any galleries. So he designed and built a micro-gallery (微型画廊) with his wife. He set it up in the front yard of their house and named it Gallery 17.
Later, the couple organized an exhibition for local artist Cody Lusby. About 40 people showed up. Soon, others began asking Clark to build micro-galleries for them. And then, artists from around Los Angeles and as far away as Ecuador began asking to show their works. At a time of falling support for public arts and artists, these micro-galleries have created neighborhood art areas.
After retiring in 2016, Clark founded an art center connecting artists. He had long grown tired of the traditional “pay to play” process. Art galleries chose only a select few to be shown while artists were spending several hundred dollars a year getting in various places just for exposure (曝光). At this art center, Clark charges $450 for the materials, building and set-up. The artists receive 100% of the profits (收益) for any work sold.
Some artists who’ve never shown their works ask to exhibit their work. Recently one of Clark’s neighbors asked to exhibit his partner’s father’s work. “He’s an artist in his 80s. For artists like him, this is such a cool, fun thing. It represents their first individual show. And that’s a proud achievement,” Clark said.
“It’s important that art become a part of everyday life,” said Linda Grimes, the director of a local art area. “Not everybody is welcome to go into an art gallery or a museum. Artists of local art areas started painting those traffic signal boxes so that people could see art and appreciate it outside, on the street every day. And then they painted large ones.”
4. What inspired Clark to set up Gallery 17?
A. Some local artists’ invitation. B. A library designer’s suggestion.
C. His experience with Mantel Gallery. D. His intention to start a new business.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The great support from the neighbours.
B. The growing interest in micro-galleries.
C. The major benefit of running local galleries.
D. The need for cooperation in artistic creation.
6. How can Clark’s art center benefit artists?
A. By encouraging charity events. B. By providing low-cost training.
C. By sharing information on art orders. D. By offering a cost-effective platform.
7. What do Linda’s words suggest about local art areas?
A. They help to broaden artists’ themes.
B. They allow the public to enjoy art easily.
C. They inspire people to create their own art.
D. They fail to gain popularity like art galleries.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Clark创办微型画廊及艺术中心的经历与影响。

Science and social studies textbooks are often difficult for first- and second-grade students So traditional teaching methods in North Carolina encourage teachers to remove English-learning students from those content classes to focus on their language skills instead. But a new study finds that it is not really like this.
By creating a 10-week literacy (读写能力) program, which kept English learners in science and social studies classes, researchers saw improvements in their ability to use new vocabulary and write articles. The study highlights the importance of introducing English learners to subject-based content, said Jackie Relyea, assistant professor of literacy education at North Carolina State University.
The literacy program observed students in 30 primary schools in North Carolina. The researchers provide informational texts for those students. They applied methods like read-alouds, group research and concept mapping (概念图) to build students’ vocabulary and understanding of difficult topics. Concept mapping refers to using drawings or similar aids to show connections between ideas.
Clearly, the study found that English learners had similar levels of improvement in science and social studies as their classmates skilled in English. Besides, the program did not lead to negative results elsewhere, which supports the idea that English-learning students can attend more advanced classes without falling behind. This further suggests that content-rich literacy instruction may help narrow the achievement gap when it comes to English learning.
“One thing we noticed is the importance of using well-organized texts that cover the same topic. In more traditional literacy instruction, topics usually changed quickly and there wasn’t always a clear connection that the students could hold on to. By focusing on similar subjects for longer, kids can dig deeper and develop more in-depth knowledge. It also helps them become experts in the subject matter, which greatly improves their vocabulary and understanding skills,” Relyea said.
The study challenges common beliefs about English learners, showing they can deal with difficult subjects even with limited English skills. Relyea suggested that more research on adding small-group lessons could make the program even more effective.
8. What does the new study focus on?
A. Mistakes in traditional teaching. B. English learners’ subject access.
C. Students’ ways to learn vocabulary. D. The role of language skills in writing.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the literacy program?
A. Its main challenges. B. Its target audiences.
C. Its educational goals. D. Its teaching strategies.
10. Which is the key finding about English learners in the program?
A. They experienced equal progress.
B. They required extra help to keep up.
C. They showed curiosity about various topics.
D. They performed poorly in advanced courses.
11. What matters for literacy instruction according to Relyea?
A. Using simple texts in early classes.
B. Changing between a variety of themes.
C. Allowing students time for self-learning.
D. Providing similar topic learning materials.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项关于英语学习者学科教学的新研究及发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But a new study finds that it is not really like this. (但一项新的研究发现,情况并非如此)”以及第二段“By creating a 10-week literacy program, which kept English learners in science and social studies classes, researchers saw improvements in their ability to use new vocabulary and write articles. The study highlights the importance of introducing English learners to subject-based content, said Jackie Relyea, assistant professor of literacy education at North Carolina State University. (通过创建一个为期10周的读写能力项目,让英语学习者继续参与科学和社会研究课程,研究人员发现他们使用新词汇和撰写文章的能力有所提高。北卡罗来纳州立大学读写教育助理教授Jackie Relyea表示,这项研究强调了让英语学习者接触学科内容的重要性)”可知,新研究的重点是让英语学习者接触学科内容,即他们获取学科知识的机会。故选B。

Polar bears have a thick layer (层) of fat below two layers of fur that help hold their body heat. These layers keep them so warm that adult bears can quickly overheat when they run. However, ice does not build up on the fur, despite the bears spending nearly all of their time in and around freezing cold water. This unique feature has caught the attention of scientists, who are eager to understand its secrets.
To learn more about it, a research team collected hair from six polar bears in the wild. They tested how strongly ice stuck to the fur. Next, they checked if water rolled off the fur before turning into ice. They then compared the performance of polar bear hair with human hair and two human-made ski skins.
“The grease (油脂) quickly jumped out as being the key factor causing this ice-preventing effect, as we discovered the ice-holding ability was obviously altered when the hair was washed,” said Julian Carolan, a study co-author. “Unwashed, greasy hair made it much harder for ice to hold on to. In contrast, when the polar bear hair was washed and the grease was largely removed, it performed similarly to human hair, to which ice attaches readily.”
This grease also helps explain more about the hunting strategies of polar bears. Polar bears use still hunting, where they lay completely still next to a breathing hole in the ice for underwater animals. “Sometimes, in still hunting, the polar bear quietly moves into the water using its back feet to follow its food. The less the ice sticks to them, the less noise is produced and the faster and quieter the movement,” said Bodil Holst, an experimental physicist at the University of Bergen in Norway.
In addition to learning more about these masters of adaptation, the study can help work out new solutions that keep away ice, leading to healthier and stronger fabrics (织物), skis, snowboards, and more. The natural fatty coatings found in bears are expected to inform the development of more sustainable coatings, which could serve as replacements for harmful long-lasting chemicals like PFAS, which have been commonly used in ice-preventing applications.
12. What about polar bears has drawn scientists’ interest?
A. Their unique ability to stay ice-free. B. Their usual presence in freezing water.
C. Their fear of overheating during activity. D. Their power to survive in tough conditions.
13. What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Covered. B. Weakened. C. Changed. D. Separated.
14. How does the grease benefit polar bears according to Bodil Holst?
A. It prevents injury risks. B. It tricks their target animals.
C. It is helpful for storing energy. D. It enables them to hunt more easily.
15. What possible progress can polar bears’ fatty coatings inspire?
A. Creating safer ice protection materials. B. Improving the survival skills of wildlife.
C. Designing products with fewer coatings. D. Making sports equipment work smoothly.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, ice does not build up on the fur, despite the bears spending nearly all of their time in and around freezing cold water. This unique feature has caught the attention of scientists, who are eager to understand its secrets. (然而,尽管北极熊几乎所有时间都在冰冷的水中或周围活动,它们的毛发上却不会结冰。这一独特特征引起了科学家的注意,他们渴望揭开其奥秘。)”可知,北极熊毛发不结冰的独特能力吸引了科学家的兴趣。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The grease (油脂) quickly jumped out as being the key factor causing this ice-preventing effect, as we discovered the ice-holding ability was obviously altered when the hair was washed,” said Julian Carolan, a study co-author. “Unwashed, greasy hair made it much harder for ice to hold on to. In contrast, when the polar bear hair was washed and the grease was largely removed, it performed similarly to human hair, to which ice attaches readily.” (该研究的合著者朱利安・卡罗兰表示:“油脂很快被证实是产生这种防冰效果的关键因素,因为我们发现,当北极熊的毛发被清洗后,其固冰能力发生了显著altered。未清洗的油腻毛发会大幅降低冰的附着能力;相反,当北极熊的毛发经过清洗、大部分油脂被去除后,其表现就与人类毛发相似了 —— 冰很容易附着在人类毛发上。”)”可知,清洗前后毛发粘冰能力从“难粘冰”变为“易粘冰”,发生了变化,故altered意为“改变”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Sometimes, in still hunting, the polar bear quietly moves into the water using its back feet to follow its food. The less the ice sticks to them, the less noise is produced and the faster and quieter the movement,” said Bodil Holst, an experimental physicist at the University of Bergen in Norway.(挪威卑尔根大学的实验物理学家博迪尔・霍尔斯特表示:“在‘静猎’(一种捕猎方式)时,北极熊有时会悄悄进入水中,用后脚发力追踪猎物。毛发上附着的冰越少,产生的噪音就越小,它们移动起来也就越快、越安静。”)”可知,油脂减少毛发粘冰,进而减少捕猎时的噪音、提升移动效率,帮助北极熊更易捕猎。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The natural fatty coatings found in bears are expected to inform the development of more sustainable coatings, which could serve as replacements for harmful long-lasting chemicals like PFAS, which have been commonly used in ice-preventing applications.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在校园无人超市的购物体验及对该超市的看法和建议。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在这里,我迫不及待地想详细描述一下这次购物体验。can hardly wait to do sth.是固定短语,意为“迫不及待地想做某事”,所以此处应用detail“详细说明”的不定式to detail。故填to detail。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:走进这家商店,感觉就像走进了一部科幻电影。like“像”是介词,所以此处应用step“踏,行走”的动名词stepping,作宾语。故填stepping。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:在我拿起一份零食和一杯饮料并扫描了它们的二维码后,基于人脸识别技术的系统立即显示了总价,用时不到2分钟。picked up和scanned是两个并列的动作,且此处表示顺承关系,所以应用连词and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意同上。本空为which引导的定语从句的谓语,be based on是固定短语,意为“以……为基础”,此处描述客观事实,时态应用一般现在时,主语which指代先行词the system,为第三人称单数,所以be动词应用is。故填is based。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:没有店主,这家店依靠学生的诚实来为商品付款。此处表示“没有”,应用介词without,句首单词,首字母大写。故填Without。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:这种在信任和尊重方面的尝试,既节省了时间,又培养了责任感,还鼓励了关于创新的对话,让我为我们的校园社区感到自豪。此处作develops的宾语,应用名词responsibility“责任感”。故填responsibility。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然这个想法很有前途,但一些改进可以提升体验。此处作表语,应用形容词promising“有前途的”。故填promising。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:其次,更清晰的标签解释购物步骤可能会对首次使用的用户有所帮助,因为我一开始不知道如何以及在哪里扫描商品。此处表示“更清晰的”,应用形容词比较级clearer,作定语,修饰名词labels。故填clearer。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,无人超市是朝着科技驱动的校园生活迈出的勇敢一步,并为其他学校树立了良好的榜样。根据时间状语so far可知,set a good example“树立一个好榜样”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,句子时态应用现在完成时,又因主语The unmanned supermarket是第三人称单数代词,所以助动词用has。故填has set。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:毕竟,将技术与信任相结合确实让我们的校园与众不同。此处修饰形容词special,应用副词truly“真正地”,作状语。故填truly。
