The quiet charm can be an inviting alternative compared to visiting busier cities on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Learn about local wildlife The Chesapeake Bay is home to more than 3600 species of plants and animals, including rockfish and 173 species of shellfish. Observe local wildlife at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, where you can hike, bike, or kayak through this 510-acre nature preserve, which includes forests, wetlands, tidal marshes, and meadows. Bird lovers can spot more than 240 bird species, including bald eagles and herons. In addition to bird-watching, visitors may catch a glimpse of otters, foxes, and turtles throughout the preserve. Cycle across the entire island Pedal or walk your way across the island by following the Cross Island Trail. The mapped path stretches nearly seven miles, covering the width of the island, and winds through tidal wetlands, shady woodlands, and wide-open fields. The paved trail begins at Terrapin Nature Park and Beach on the island’s western shore and snakes eastward to Kent Narrows. Both cyclists and hikers can enjoy views of the Chesapeake Bay. Indulge in a Classic Maryland Crab Feast Partake in an essential Maryland experience — the crab feast. In this timeless tradition, friends and family gather around a paper-covered table, armed with wooden mallets to crack open freshly steamed Maryland blue crabs seasoned with Old Bay. These crabs are then dipped into melted butter and washed down with a cold beer. “Crabs are a big part of life on Kent Island,” says Broderick. “Anybody who lives on the water or has a relative on the water generally has crab pots. Or you can go out to one of the great crab houses and sit down for a terrific crab feast.” Join the festivities on the Bay Kent Island hosts festivals throughout the year. April starts with the Bay Bridge Boat Show, followed by Kent Island Day in May. During the summer, there’s the Bikes and Beer Festival in July and the Sudlersville Peach Festival in August. As summer slips into fall, the art-centric event Artoberfest is in October, the Bay Bridge Run is in November, and the year closes out with the Waterman’s Crab Basket Tree Lighting. Where to stay For a fascinating escape on Kent Island, check into the Inn at the Chesapeake Beach Club. The hotel has 77 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, an on-site restaurant, and a spa. Guests can’t beat the hotel’s location near the Chesapeake Bay, as well as waterfront restaurants and shops. 1. What is Kent Island known for? A. Tall mountains and busy streets. B. Beautiful waters, seafood, and history. C. Large shopping malls and museums. D. Cold weather and winter sports. 2. What is a typical Maryland crab feast? A. Eating fried fish with bread. B. Baking cakes with crab meat. C. Cooking soup with local vegetables. D. Cracking open steamed crabs with mallets. 3. Where can you find the passage? A. In a guidebook. B. In a science magazine. C. In a travel journal. D. In an encyclopedia. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3.

His small studio in an old Victorian house was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart of the town he loved. The walls were covered with pieces of art, each one reflecting his dedication and passion. One crisp autumn evening, as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the town, David worked on what he believed was his best piece yet. Lost in his work, he barely noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye. It was a neighbor who first saw the smoke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread through half of his studio. He rushed outside, horrified to see the flames (火焰) consuming everything he had worked so hard for. Within minutes, his studio was reduced to ashes. The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose. Friends and neighbors offered their support, but nothing could replace the years of work destroyed. One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair. David realized his passion for art wasn’t tied to the physical space of his studio. It was something deeper within him. He decided to start over, to rebuild his life and art anew. With the help of his friends, David set up a small workspace in the community center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in weeks. One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a young girl approached him. “What are you painting?” she asked. David smiled. “It’s a story,” he said. “A story of resilience and hope.” The girl nodded, her eyes reflecting the colors on the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was about more than just paintings — it was about connecting with others and sharing his journey. From then on, David painted not only for himself but for everyone who needed a reminder of the beauty in the world. Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience. 4. How did David feel after the fire destroyed his studio? A. Angry and bitter. B. Grateful and content. C. Lost and empty. D. Anxious and regretful. 5. What is the significance of the children drawing on the pavement? A. Their creativity helps David find joy again. B. They are a reminder of the fire’s destruction. C. They represent the future of art in Greenfield. D. They show how the town has forgotten about David’s art. 6. What is the theme of David’s first new painting after the fire? A. Renewal. B. Resilience. C. Peace. D. Passion. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. The flash today is the silence tomorrow. B. The less you expect, the more you appreciate. C. The flame that burns you may also light your way. D. The greatest roadblocks are the ones you cannot see. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了大卫·李的绘画工作室被烧毁，里面的作品也都烧毁了，在沮丧和迷茫的时候他看到孩子们在人行道上用粉笔画画。因此重新点燃了他内心对绘画的热爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose.(接下来的几天充满了悲伤。大卫在格林菲尔德的街道上徘徊，茫然无措)”可知，大火烧毁了大卫的工作室后，他感到迷失和空虚。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair.(一天晚上，当他坐在镇广场的长凳上时，他注意到孩子们在人行道上用粉笔画画。他们的笑声和创造力打破了他的绝望)”可知，孩子们在人行道上画画的意义是他们的创造力帮助大卫重新找到了快乐。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧).(他又开始画画了，这次带着新的目标。他的第一部作品是对格林菲尔德的认可，捕捉了这个小镇的韧性)”可知，火灾后大卫的第一幅新画的主题是韧性。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience.(虽然他的工作室换了，但他对艺术的热情又重燃了，在那里，他发现了一种新的韧性)”结合文章主要讲述了大卫·李的绘画工作室被烧毁，里面的作品也都烧毁了，在沮丧和迷茫的时候他看到孩子们在人行道上用粉笔画画重新点燃了他内心对绘画的热爱。由此可知，从本文可以得出“灼伤你的火焰，也能照亮你的道路”。故选C。 C The concept of “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, the search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year from January to July 2022. The Baidu 2021 Guochao Pride Search Big Data Report revealed that interest in guochao has skyrocketed over the past 10 years. Domestic products are now in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers. China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. It not only meets younger consumers’ desire for personality and fashion but also helps revive traditional culture. The rise of China chic is a result of China’s rapid economic development and is driven by certain cultural motivations. Additionally, the continuous improvement of Chinese people’s consumption power is an important factor behind the rise of China chic. Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization have left behind a rich cultural heritage. In many ways, guochao is the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese cultural pride. Originating in the fashion industry, this trend reflects Chinese consumers’ renewed interest in their cultural heritage. The guochao trend is strongest among young adults who have grown up in an increasingly powerful China and thus possess a strong sense of national pride. China’s national strength is growing, and its soft power is also on the rise. Even so, we still have a long way to go in promoting China chic. But as it has become a part of people’s lives, there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future to showcase Chinese charm. 8. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the first paragraph mean? A. Risen sharply. B. Dropped obviously. C. Remained stable. D. Changed slightly. 9. Which best describes “China chic”? A. It aims mainly to promote Chinese exports. B. It mixes traditional culture with current trends. C. It attracts mostly middle-aged and older consumers. D. It draws major inspiration from Western fashion styles. 10. What is identified as the primary driver behind the rise of China chic? A. The expansion of China’s economy. B. The growth in people’s purchasing power. C. A renewed sense of cultural identity. D. The influence of social media on the youth. 11. What does the author imply about the future of China chic? A. It will soon lead global fashion. B. It will need more policy support. C. It will remain a small market. D. It will continue to develop and diversify. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍国潮的流行、特点及发展动因与前景。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“According to relevant data, the search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year from January to July 2022. (根据相关数据显示，2022年1月至7月，“国潮”关键词的搜索量同比增长了392.66%)”可知，国潮关键词搜索量同比大幅增长，由此可推测划线词与选项A含义相近，意为“急剧上升”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. (“国潮”将独特的文化元素与各行业的最新潮流相融合)”可知，国潮将独特文化元素与最新潮流融合。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. (最重要的是，文化自信是国潮兴起的核心驱动力)”可知，国潮兴起的核心驱动力是文化自信，即“重新焕发的文化认同感”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But as it has become a part of people’s lives, there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future to showcase Chinese charm. (但随着它已逐渐融入人们的日常生活，毫无疑问，未来将涌现出更多样化的国潮产品，向世界展现独特的中国魅力)”可知，作者认为未来会出现更多元的国潮产品，即国潮将“继续发展并多元化”。故选D。 D Prehistoric people may have used firelight to create the illusion (错觉) of movement in their art. An analysis of 50 carved stones dug up in France suggests that when the stones were placed near a fire, the light made the carved animals appear to move, researchers reported on April 20 in PLOS ONE. These stones, or “plaquettes”, were discovered in the 1860s in a rock shelter called Montastruc and were carved with images of animals such as horses and deer. The site was used by Magdalenian people, hunter-gatherers who inhabited the area between 23,000 and 14,000 years ago. The researchers analyzed heat damage on the stones, which indicated that they had been exposed directly to high temperatures for prolonged periods, and created 3D models of the stones. These models were imported into virtual reality software and placed next to a virtual hearth (壁炉炉床) so that the heat-damaged areas were closest to the flames, simulating how the stones might have been arranged in real life. The researchers then observed the visual effects under the virtual firelight. “It was surprising to see how dynamic the art was and how much your experience of the art changed with something as simple as placing it near a fire,” says Andy Needham, an archaeologist at the University of York in England. He suggests that the artists intentionally carved along the contours (轮廓) of the rock to use the flickering firelight to create an impression of meaningful movement. The finding enhances archaeologists’ understanding of the relationship between early humans’ artwork and fire. Another recent study found that Stone Age humans created “hidden” art in dark caves that could only be illuminated and viewed with appropriate lighting. 12. What is known about the carved stones from the text? A. They were found in Spain in the 1860s. B. They were carved with animals in motion. C. They were made by Magdalenian people about 14,000 years ago. D. They showed animals like horses and deer. 13. Why did the researchers create 3D models and place them near a virtual hearth? A. To measure the exact temperature of the flames. B. To imitate how the stones might have been used with fire. C. To repair the heat-damaged areas on the stones. D. To identify the types of animals carved on the stones. 14. What does Andy Needham suggest about the ancient artists? A They preferred to work in dark caves. B. They avoided carving near the edges of the stones. C. They had a deep understanding of visual effects. D. They might have relied on firelight while carving the stones. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Hidden Art in Dark Caves B. How Ancient People Made Tools from Stones C. A New Study on Hunter-Gatherer Life in France D. The Effect of Firelight on Ancient Art Perception 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于史前人类可能利用火光使雕刻动物产生运动错觉的研究。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These stones, or “plaquettes”, were discovered in the 1860s in a rock shelter called Montastruc and were carved with images of animals such as horses and deer. (这些石板，或称为plaquettes，最早于19世纪60年代在一处名为Montastruc的岩棚中被发现，上面刻有马、鹿等动物的图像)”可知，这些石板上雕刻着马和鹿等动物的图像。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“These models were imported into virtual reality software and placed next to a virtual hearth so that the heat-damaged areas were closest to the flames, simulating how the stones might have been arranged in real life. The researchers then observed the visual effects under the virtual firelight. (这些模型被导入虚拟现实软件中，并放置在虚拟壁炉旁，使受热损坏的区域最靠近火焰，以此模拟这些石板在现实生活中的可能摆放方式。随后，研究人员观察了在虚拟火光下的视觉效果)”可知，研究人员是为了模拟这些石头在现实生活中可能被摆放的方式，并观察在虚拟火光下的视觉效果。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He suggests that the artists intentionally carved along the contours of the rock to use the flickering firelight to create an impression of meaningful movement. (他提出，艺术家们可能是有意沿着岩石的轮廓进行雕刻，以便利用摇曳的火光创造出富有意义的动态印象)”可知,这种有意地利用光影效果来达到有意义的运动的艺术表现，表明他们对视觉效果有深入的理解。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“Prehistoric people may have used firelight to create the illusion of movement in their art. (史前人类可能曾利用火光在他们的艺术作品中制造出运动的错觉)”可知，文章开篇就提出史前人类利用火光，随后第二、三段详细描述了研究人员如何通过模拟火光来验证这一假设，并引用考古学家的观点支持火光在艺术感知中的作用。最后一段也提到火光与早期人类艺术的关系。因此，文章的核心内容是探讨火光对古代艺术感知的影响。故选D。 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。 Soon you’ll be done with the stresses of high school.

If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students. Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway. On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read. “I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again. “What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Week by week Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. The presence of the gray cat made him feel more relaxed and comfortable. He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him. Ben was amazed by how much he enjoyed reading aloud to Max. Still, he was surprised when Ms. Delgado gave him the Most Improved Reader award. Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as he held the certificate in his hands. He couldn’t wait to show it to Max. But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. He looked around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of his feline friend. However, Max was nowhere to be found. Ben’s heart sank as he realized that someone might have adopted Max. Just then, Mrs. Patel walked into the visitors’ room, carrying Max. “I’m adopting him,” Mrs. Patel said. “You can come over every day to read to him.” Hearing what Mrs. Patel said, Ben jumped with excitement and threw his arms around Mrs. Patel. Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben去动物收容所时，给一只名叫Max的猫读书，发现它好像听得懂似得，于是Ben提出想收养Max，但他妈妈有过敏症。他甚至告诉了他的邻居Patel太太关于Max的事。一周又一周，Ben意识到有了Max的陪伴，读书似乎变得更容易了，Ben还被老师授予“最进步读者奖”。Ben想去收容所告诉Max得奖的事情，却得知Max被收养了，结果原来是邻居Patel太太收养了Max。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周又一周，本意识到有马克斯的陪伴读书似乎更容易了。”可知，第一段可描写Ben在Max的陪伴下，朗读能力获得很大的提升，并获得老师的奖励。 ②由第二段首句内容“但是星期六，本在收容所找不到马克斯。”可知，第二段可描写Ben找不到Max的感受，以及最后知道Patel太太收养了Max后的反应。 2. 续写线索：老师安排去给猫读书——遇到Max——想收养Max但是不行——发现自己在Max陪伴下朗读能力提高——获得进步奖——想告诉Max——Max不见了——得知Max被Patel收养——高兴。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/perceive/note ②集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on/throw oneself into ③走近：walk into/ step into 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astounded。 ②兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1]He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him.

The quiet charm can be an inviting alternative compared to visiting busier cities on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Learn about local wildlife The Chesapeake Bay is home to more than 3,600 species of plants and animals, including rockfish and 173 species of shellfish. Observe local wildlife at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, where you can hike, bike, or kayak through this 510-acre nature preserve, which includes forests, wetlands, tidal marshes, and meadows. Bird lovers can spot more than 240 bird species, including bald eagles and herons. In addition to bird-watching, visitors may catch a glimpse of otters, foxes, and turtles throughout the preserve. Cycle across the entire island Pedal or walk your way across the island by following the Cross Island Trail. The mapped path stretches nearly seven miles, covering the width of the island, and winds through tidal wetlands, shady woodlands, and wide-open fields. The paved trail begins at Terrapin Nature Park and Beach on the island’s western shore and snakes eastward to Kent Narrows. Both cyclists and hikers can enjoy views of the Chesapeake Bay. Indulge in a Classic Maryland Crab Feast Partake in an essential Maryland experience — the crab feast. In this timeless tradition, friends and family gather around a paper-covered table, armed with wooden mallets to crack open freshly steamed Maryland blue crabs seasoned with Old Bay. These crabs are then dipped into melted butter and washed down with a cold beer. “Crabs are a big part of life on Kent Island,” says Broderick. “Anybody who lives on the water or has a relative on the water generally has crab pots. Or you can go out to one of the great crab houses and sit down for a terrific crab feast.” Join the festivities on the Bay Kent Island hosts festivals throughout the year. April starts with the Bay Bridge Boat Show, followed by Kent Island Day in May. During the summer, there’s the Bikes and Beer Festival in July and the Sudlersville Peach Festival in August. As summer slips into fall, the art-centric event Artoberfest is in October, the Bay Bridge Run is in November, and the year closes out with the Waterman’s Crab Basket Tree Lighting. Where to stay For a fascinating escape on Kent Island, check into the Inn at the Chesapeake Beach Club. The hotel has 77 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, an on-site restaurant, and a spa. Guests can’t beat the hotel’s location near the Chesapeake Bay, as well as waterfront restaurants and shops. 1. What is Kent Island known for? A. Tall mountains and busy streets. B.

His small studio in an old Victorian house was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart of the town he loved. The walls were covered with pieces of art, each one reflecting his dedication and passion. One crisp autumn evening, as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the town, David worked on what he believed was his best piece yet. Lost in his work, he barely noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye. It was a neighbor who first saw the smoke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread through half of his studio. He rushed outside, horrified to see the flames (火焰) consuming everything he had worked so hard for. Within minutes, his studio was reduced to ashes. The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose. Friends and neighbors offered their support, but nothing could replace the years of work destroyed. One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair. David realized his passion for art wasn’t tied to the physical space of his studio. It was something deeper within him. He decided to start over, to rebuild his life and art anew. With the help of his friends, David set up a small workspace in the community center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in weeks. One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a young girl approached him. “What are you painting?” she asked. David smiled. “It’s a story,” he said. “A story of resilience and hope.” The girl nodded, her eyes reflecting the colors on the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was about more than just paintings — it was about connecting with others and sharing his journey. From then on, David painted not only for himself but for everyone who needed a reminder of the beauty in the world. Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience. 4. How did David feel after the fire destroyed his studio? A. Angry and bitter. B. Grateful and content. C. Lost and empty. D. Anxious and regretful. 5. What is the significance of the children drawing on the pavement? A. Their creativity helps David find joy again. B. They are a reminder of the fire’s destruction. C. They represent the future of art in Greenfield. D. They show how the town has forgotten about David’s art. 6. What is the theme of David’s first new painting after the fire? A. Renewal. B. Resilience. C. Peace. D. Passion. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. The flash today is the silence tomorrow. B. The less you expect, the more you appreciate. C. The flame that burns you may also light your way. D The greatest roadblocks are the ones you cannot see. C The concept of “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, the search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year from January to July 2022. The Baidu 2021 Guochao Pride Search Big Data Report revealed that interest in guochao has skyrocketed over the past 10 years. Domestic products are now in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers. China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. It not only meets younger consumers’ desire for personality and fashion but also helps revive traditional culture. The rise of China chic is a result of China’s rapid economic development and is driven by certain cultural motivations. Additionally, the continuous improvement of Chinese people’s consumption power is an important factor behind the rise of China chic. Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization have left behind a rich cultural heritage. In many ways, guochao is the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese cultural pride. Originating in the fashion industry, this trend reflects Chinese consumers’ renewed interest in their cultural heritage. The guochao trend is strongest among young adults who have grown up in an increasingly powerful China and thus possess a strong sense of national pride. China’s national strength is growing, and its soft power is also on the rise. Even so, we still have a long way to go in promoting China chic. But as it has become a part of people’s lives, there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future to showcase Chinese charm. 8.

D Prehistoric people may have used firelight to create the illusion (错觉) of movement in their art. An analysis of 50 carved stones dug up in France suggests that when the stones were placed near a fire, the light made the carved animals appear to move, researchers reported on April 20 in PLOS ONE. These stones, or “plaquettes”, were discovered in the 1860s in a rock shelter called Montastruc and were carved with images of animals such as horses and deer. The site was used by Magdalenian people, hunter-gatherers who inhabited the area between 23,000 and 14,000 years ago. The researchers analyzed heat damage on the stones, which indicated that they had been exposed directly to high temperatures for prolonged periods, and created 3D models of the stones. These models were imported into virtual reality software and placed next to a virtual hearth (壁炉炉床) so that the heat-damaged areas were closest to the flames, simulating how the stones might have been arranged in real life. The researchers then observed the visual effects under the virtual firelight. “It was surprising to see how dynamic the art was and how much your experience of the art changed with something as simple as placing it near a fire,” says Andy Needham, an archaeologist at the University of York in England. He suggests that the artists intentionally carved along the contours (轮廓) of the rock to use the flickering firelight to create an impression of meaningful movement. The finding enhances archaeologists’ understanding of the relationship between early humans’ artwork and fire. Another recent study found that Stone Age humans created “hidden” art in dark caves that could only be illuminated and viewed with appropriate lighting. 12. What is known about the carved stones from the text? A. They were found in Spain in the 1860s. B. They were carved with animals in motion. C. They were made by Magdalenian people about 14,000 years ago. D. They showed animals like horses and deer. 13. Why did the researchers create 3D models and place them near a virtual hearth? A. To measure the exact temperature of the flames. B. To imitate how the stones might have been used with fire. C. To repair the heat-damaged areas on the stones. D. To identify the types of animals carved on the stones. 14 What does Andy Needham suggest about the ancient artists? A. They preferred to work in dark caves. B. They avoided carving near the edges of the stones. C. They had a deep understanding of visual effects. D. They might have relied on firelight while carving the stones. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Hidden Art in Dark Caves B How Ancient People Made Tools from Stones C. A New Study on Hunter-Gatherer Life in France D. The Effect of Firelight on Ancient Art Perception 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。 Soon you’ll be done with the stresses of high school.

If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students. Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway. On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read. “I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again. “What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
