It’s the soul of Italy, filled with confusing streets, ancient history, and delicious food. Unlike the polished tourist centers of Rome or Florence, Naples offers a genuinely unspoiled experience.

It doesn’t try to put on a show to impress; instead, it simply exists in its pure and raw form, and that’s exactly what makes it an unforgettable destination.(与罗马或佛罗伦萨那些精致的旅游中心不同，那不勒斯提供了一种真正未被破坏的体验。它并不试图通过表演来打动游客；相反，它以纯粹和原始的形式存在，而这正是让它成为一个难忘目的地的原因。)”可知，让那不勒斯成为游客们难忘目的地的原因是它提供一种真正未被破坏的体验，它以纯粹和原始的形式存在，由此可知，那不勒斯以其原始和未加修饰的形式吸引着游客。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Napoli Sotterranea部分中的“This tour allows you to explore hidden tunnels and ancient remains, providing a unique glimpse into centuries of Naples’ history that you might never have imagined.(这次游览让您探索隐藏的隧道和古老的遗迹，为您提供了一个窥视那不勒斯数百年历史的独特机会，这是您可能从未想象过的。)”可知，Napoli Sotterranea提供了一个探索地下隧道和古老遗迹的机会。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Royal Palace of Naples部分中的“Located in the heart of the city, it showcases the lifestyle of Italian royalty with grand halls, elegant staircases, and fantastic art collections.(位于城市的中心，这里通过宏伟的大厅、优雅的楼梯和令人惊叹的艺术收藏展示了意大利皇室的生活方式。)”可知，Royal Palace of Naples拥有令人惊叹的艺术收藏，结合Castel Nuovo部分中的“Inside, you’ll find a museum filled with incredible artwork, offering plenty to explore.(在里面，您会发现一个充满令人难以置信的艺术作品的博物馆，提供了丰富的探索内容。)”可知，Castel Nuovo内部有一个充满令人难以置信的艺术作品的博物馆，由此可知，两者都拥有令人惊叹的艺术收藏。故选B项。 B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the change in atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change,” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break time. “Teachers would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) that shows us children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its OFSTED inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal (了不起的),” she says. 4. Which of the following best describes “play-based learning”? A. Children following clear instructions to complete art projects. B. Children creating their own games and exploring personal interests. C. Children completing academic worksheets at their desks. D. Children memorizing facts through repetitive classroom drills. 5. Why did Farr implement play-based learning? A. To reduce teaching preparation time. B. To improve exam performance. C. To support child development. D. To attract media attention. 6. How did the fifth graders respond to the new classroom arrangement? A. Became more distracted. B. Gained better concentration. C. Grew more independent. D. Developed stronger opinions. 7. What does the final paragraph emphasize about Farr’s approach? A. Its scientific basis. B. Its implementation costs. C Its popularity with parents. D. Its academic achievements. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了校长Tina Farr在学校推行游戏化学习的创新做法及其积极成效。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities(以游戏为基础的学习——让孩子们四处走动，在松散的指导下进行游戏和探索)”可知，游戏化学习，让孩子们在宽松的引导活动中自由活动、编游戏和探索。选项B中的“creating their own games”直接对应原文中的“make up games”，而“exploring personal interests”精准概括了“explore within loosely guided activities”的本质，完美抓住了自主创造和自由探索的两个核心要素。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?(如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展，我们为什么要这么做？)”可推知，Farr的主要目的是支持儿童健康发展。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.(其影响立竿见影，令人印象深刻。孩子们现在可以选择在哪里和如何学习。一个曾经难以集中注意力的班级现在变得平静而投入)”和“Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.(他们的自我调节能力大大提高。他们更容易坐下来工作)”可知，学生们在新教室布置下，注意力得到了改善，能够更平静地投入学习，自我调节能力也大大提高，能更迅速地静下心来学习。这说明学生们注意力更集中了。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段提到“We have neuroscience (神经科学) that shows us children learn through play.(神经科学告诉我们孩子是通过玩耍来学习的)”以及“The inspector really understood our play-based learning.(检查员非常理解我们以游戏为基础的学习)”，强调了有神经科学证明孩子们通过游戏学习，并且检查员也理解了这种基于游戏的学习方式。这突出了Farr的方法有科学依据。故选A。 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.

While the main cause remains unclear, how we use our eyes matters greatly. Staring at screens — computers, phones, or TVs — strains our eyes. Reading in dim light and spending too much time indoors also harm our vision. To fight this, we should take regular breaks and spend more time outdoors in the sunlight. We should also keep a proper distance from screens and always ensure we read with good light. These simple steps can greatly improve our eye health. 范文二： Fighting the Rise of Short-Sightedness in Students A recent survey in our school has revealed that short-sightedness, which has already affected a large number of us, is on the rise. What causes short-sightedness is not fully understood, but how we actually use our eyes seems to play a decisive role. For example, activities like focusing on a screen, whether it is a computer, television or smartphone, are tough on our eyes. Reading in poor light can also harm our eyesight. Spending too much time indoors is also harmful, as our eyes need natural sunlight to stay healthy. Luckily, the situation can be improved if we take measures to stop ourselves from becoming short-sighted in the first place. We should take regular breaks from study and go outside to give our eyes a chance to get some sunlight. We should also avoid being too close to a computer, smartphone or television screen. In addition, we should ensure proper lighting whenever we read so that our eyes do not need to work too hard. I am confident that with these measures, our eye health can be greatly improved. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于开放性作文。要求考生以“Fighting the Rise of Short-Sightedness in Students”为题写一篇短文，介绍学生视力状况，学生视力下降问题比较严重的主要原因，并提出建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 影响：affect → influence 伤害：harm → hurt/be harmful to 确保：ensure → guarantee 提升：improve → enhance 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：Reading in dim light and spending too much time indoors also harm our vision. 拓展句：It is reading in dim light and spending too much time indoors that also harm our vision. 【点睛】【高分句型1】A recent school survey shows that short-sightedness is increasing rapidly among students, affecting many of us.(运用了that引导宾语从句，现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】While the main cause remains unclear, how we use our eyes matters greatly.(运用了while引导状语从句，how引导主语从句) 第二节(满分25分) 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。 It was 2002, and two months earlier, my mum, Debbie, bad moved my two older sisters and me 4000km away from our old home and my grandma Mary, 62, for a new job. Before the move, Grams, as I called her, lived with us, and she and I shared a bedroom. She’d help me get ready for school each morning, and on weekends she’d take me shopping or to the horse races. We’re like two peas in a pod (形影不离). Everywhere we went, people knew Grams for her outgoing personality and I missed it desperately. “I want to move back with Grams,” I told Mum one day. Aware of our special bond, she told me to call Grams and see what she thought. “I’d love that. Krissy!” Grams exclaimed down the phone line. So at 15, I flew back to live with her. We became properly best friends. watching old movies or dancing to music together. Grams was very stylish, often giving me fashion advice, and she also taught me how to cook. When I attended high school, I bccame a bit wild, staying out late. But when I came home, Grams always welcomed me with open arms. “Remember, Krissy.” she told me, “No matter where life takes you, family is what matters.” It was her unconditional love that got me through my teenage years and kept me from going completely off the rails. When she reached her early 70s. Grams began exhibiting some strange behavior. One day, I noticed she’d turned on the oven. “What are you cooking, Grams?” I called out. “I’m not cooking anything,” she responded in confusion from the living room. This forgetfulness became a pattern of dangerous behavior. One day, we even found her barefoot in the snow. Eventually, she confessed that something didn’t feel right in her mind. “It’s like I’m not here in this world with you,” she told me sadly. I took her to the doctor and the result was heartbreaking. “Your grandma has Alzheimer’s disease,” the doctor told us, “she’ll need 24-hour care.” Helpless, we checked her into assisted living. However, it seemed that my once lively grandma was very depressed there, which grieved me a great deal. 注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I decided to quit my job to look after her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As I shared the videos of our daily life online, unexpected support and likes poured in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Para1: I decided to quit my job to look after her. Hearing my decision, she hugged me tightly, tears streaming down her face. We cooked the food she liked and watched movies together like the old days. To brighten her days and stimulate her memory, I took her shopping and to the horse races on a regular basis. We also visited parks and seaside, immersing ourselves in the natural beauty. Gradually, her spark slowly came back. Seeing her bright smile, I was seized by a sense of relief, feeling like I had done the right thing. With my camera, these invaluable daily moments were captured. Para2: As I shared the videos of our daily life online, unexpected support and likes poured in. People from all over the world were touched by our story and the pure joy we shared. Our daily interactions also served as an inspiration to many in similar situations. Inspired by the attention my posts received, I started an online community dedicated to supporting families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer. Through this platform, I shared tips, resources, and personal stories of hope and resilience. Sometimes Gram’s condition sadly worsened and she didn’t always know who I was. However, it was still a joy to be with Gram in the final chapter of her life and to live each moment to the max. I was grateful for the joy she brought to my life and the unexpected way she inspired me to make a difference in the lives of others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以主人公与奶奶的深厚情感为线索展开，讲述了主人公因母亲工作变动而与形影不离的奶奶分开，之后决定搬回去与奶奶同住，两人成为了最好的朋友。主人公在青春期时，奶奶给予了她无条件的爱和支持，帮助她度过了这段时光。然而，随着奶奶年纪的增长，她开始出现奇怪的行为，最终被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病，需要全天候照顾。主人公对此感到无奈和悲伤，回忆着与奶奶共度的美好时光。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我决定辞职来照顾她。”可知，第一段可描写作者辞职照顾奶奶的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我在网上分享我们日常生活的视频时，意想不到的支持和点赞蜂拥而至。”可知，第二段可描写作者照顾奶奶的事，获得很多人的支持，以及对奶奶的感激。 2. 续写线索：辞职照顾奶奶——带奶奶做之前合作者一起做过的事——奶奶很开心——上传网络——获得支持——交流经验——感激奶奶 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/take in one’s arms ②激励：inspire/encourage ③创建：start/found 情绪类 ①使感动：touch/move ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1]Seeing her bright smile, I was seized by a sense of relief, feeling like I had done the right thing.(运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2]Sometimes Gram’s condition sadly worsened and she didn’t always know who I was.(运用了who引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2024级高二上期半期考试 英语试题 满分150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后。你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the change in atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change,” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break time. “Teachers would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) that shows us children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its OFSTED inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal (了不起的),” she says. 4. Which of the following best describes “play-based learning”? A. Children following clear instructions to complete art projects. B. Children creating their own games and exploring personal interests. C. Children completing academic worksheets at their desks. D. Children memorizing facts through repetitive classroom drills. 5. Why did Farr implement play-based learning? A. To reduce teaching preparation time. B. To improve exam performance. C. To support child development. D. To attract media attention. 6. How did the fifth graders respond to the new classroom arrangement? A. Became more distracted. B. Gained better concentration. C. Grew more independent. D. Developed stronger opinions. 7. What does the final paragraph emphasize about Farr’s approach? A. Its scientific basis. B. Its implementation costs. C. Its popularity with parents. D. Its academic achievements. 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. 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.

Before the move, Grams, as I called her, lived with us, and she and I shared a bedroom. She’d help me get ready for school each morning, and on weekends she’d take me shopping or to the horse races. We’re like two peas in a pod (形影不离). Everywhere we went, people knew Grams for her outgoing personality and I missed it desperately. “I want to move back with Grams,” I told Mum one day. Aware of our special bond, she told me to call Grams and see what she thought. “I’d love that. Krissy!” Grams exclaimed down the phone line. So at 15, I flew back to live with her. We became properly best friends. watching old movies or dancing to music together. Grams was very stylish, often giving me fashion advice, and she also taught me how to cook. When I attended high school, I bccame a bit wild, staying out late. But when I came home, Grams always welcomed me with open arms. “Remember, Krissy.” she told me, “No matter where life takes you, family is what matters.” It was her unconditional love that got me through my teenage years and kept me from going completely off the rails. When she reached her early 70s. Grams began exhibiting some strange behavior. One day, I noticed she’d turned on the oven. “What are you cooking, Grams?” I called out. “I’m not cooking anything,” she responded in confusion from the living room. This forgetfulness became a pattern of dangerous behavior. One day, we even found her barefoot in the snow. Eventually, she confessed that something didn’t feel right in her mind. “It’s like I’m not here in this world with you,” she told me sadly. I took her to the doctor and the result was heartbreaking. “Your grandma has Alzheimer’s disease,” the doctor told us, “she’ll need 24-hour care.” Helpless, we checked her into assisted living. However, it seemed that my once lively grandma was very depressed there, which grieved me a great deal. 注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I decided to quit my job to look after her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As I shared the videos of our daily life online, unexpected support and likes poured in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
