Locals who frequent a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan province, are often surprised when they are treated by a German doctor specializing in TCM with fluent Henan dialect. He is Joel Mikael Walker, a master’s student nearing graduation in the Henan University of Chinese Medicine. He skillfully performs techniques such as acupuncture (针灸), pulse diagnosis, and cupping therapy.
Walker came to Henan province in 2015 when he was 20, because it is widely considered to be an important center for medical practice, education and research for traditional Chinese medicine. Now, he has fully adopted the lifestyle in Henan. On Chinese social media platforms, Walker is committed to promoting traditional Chinese medicine.
His expertise in TCM fascinates Chinese netizens and he often uses ancient Chinese medical texts, for example, Huangdi Neijing, one of Chinese great medical works, to explain the philosophy behind the treatments. Other Chinese classics, such as Yijing, Zhuangzi, and Lunyu, which have long been foundation of Chinese philosophy, are also on Walker’s reading list. He takes pleasure in absorbing ancient wisdom because he finds many ideas deeply intertwined (交织) with TCM practices.
One fundamental worldview of TCM highlights the balance, from which Walker himself benefited. In the past, he experienced significant emotional ups and downs, and tended to be somewhat stubborn, often viewing things from his own perspective. Now he has become more tolerant and approached issues from multiple angles with a more inclusive (包容的) perspective. In other words, his personality has also become more balanced.
According to Walker, the unique wisdom rooted in Chinese culture can not only benefit physical well-being but can also extend beyond medicine and offer excellent guidance for the whole world. He stressed, “If more people could understand the TCM wisdom, the world would become more peaceful.”
4. What do we know about Walker?
A. He is surprised at the locals’ dialect.
B. He has gained a master’s degree in Henan.
C. He has great skills of making acupuncture needles.
D. He is a German good at traditional Chinese medicine.
5. Why did Walker come to Henan province?
A. He intended to be popular online. B. Henan province is a centre for TCM.
C. He desired to learn about its lifestyles. D. Henan province has rich natural resources.
6. What is the purpose of mentioning Walker’s emotional experiences?
A. To show his positive changes. B. To prove the world is more peaceful.
C. To introduce Chinese ancient classics. D. To share his ups and downs with the netizens.
7. Which of the following best describes Walker?
A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Courageous and calm.
C. Cooperative and generous. D. Devoted and professional.
C
The urban fruit flies that fly around the apples on your counter have to navigate (导航) a rich visual environment to find that food. Desert fruit flies, not so much. They fly through a mostly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers to find certain fruit. Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study contradicts that belief.
Flying fruit flies have two jobs: to head toward interesting things, and also stay stable during flight. Like humans, vision helps fruit flies move straight and stay stable while navigating toward attractive objects. Looking at interesting things interrupts the vision needed to stay stable.
To study how the two types of fruit flies navigate, the researchers designed a system that let the flies interact with objects while tracking their body and eye movements with a camera. They glued a tiny piece of metal to the fly’s back and connected it to a magnet (磁铁) hanging from the top of a round, drum-like device. Another magnet at the bottom of the drum created a magnetic field that held the metal exactly in position while allowing the fly to move around within the drum. The walls of the drum were covered with LED lights and a computer created different moving shapes in various sizes and directions using the lights. The fly could choose how to interact with these virtual objects. One of the objects was a vertical bar (垂直条形物) that looked like something natural, like a tree. This was designed to test how the fly would use the bar and background to navigate.
The desert flies ignored the background and moved to follow the vertical bar smoothly, while the urban flies only relied on the background to navigate smoothly.Desert and urban flies both made rapid eye movements, called saccades, to follow objects that moved along a continuous path.
Fruit flies are often used in experiments studying visual perception and processing.The finding expands the possibilities for what scientists can learn about vision in humans and can also be used to aid the development of autonomous vehicles.
8. What belief about fruit flies has been held for a long time?
A. They have wonderful hunting skills.
B. They adopt the same navigating strategy.
C. They can adapt to complex environments.
D. They can handle predictable barriers well.
9. What is the fundamental flight challenge described in paragraph 2?
A. Distinguishing food from blocking objects.
B. Processing multiple visual signals at once.
C. Limited visual sharpness in complex settings.
D. Balancing target-tracking with flight stability.
10. Why were LED lights used in the experiment?
A. To effectively observe the stability of fruit flies.
B. To closely monitor the eye movements of fruit flies.
C. To create virtual objects for fruit flies to interact with.
D. To track the movement of fruit flies in the experiment.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Visual Navigation Strategies of Fruit Flies
B. Fruit Flies’ Visual Processing Preferences
C. The Great Survival Ability of Fruit Flies
D. Fruit Flies’ Environmental Adaptations
D
“Digital switching” is a term that refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it.
Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.
“As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.
In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.
“I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom.
Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.
12. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory?
A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom.
C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion.
13. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on?
A. Its reason. B. Its consequence.
C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it.
14. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion.
C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning.
15. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply?
A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort.
B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources.
C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities.
D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement.

I’ve always enjoyed walking but never in a million years did I imagine I’d end up walking over 200 kilometers (≈124 miles) in 10 days, become a fan of walking holidays, and end up developing self-guided hiking routes in Portugal with a local tour operator as part of my business.

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。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...
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。
As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity.

Locals who frequent a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan province, are often surprised when they are treated by a German doctor specializing in TCM with fluent Henan dialect. He is Joel Mikael Walker, a master’s student nearing graduation in the Henan University of Chinese Medicine. He skillfully performs techniques such as acupuncture (针灸), pulse diagnosis, and cupping therapy.
Walker came to Henan province in 2015 when he was 20, because it is widely considered to be an important center for medical practice, education and research for traditional Chinese medicine. Now, he has fully adopted the lifestyle in Henan. On Chinese social media platforms, Walker is committed to promoting traditional Chinese medicine.
His expertise in TCM fascinates Chinese netizens and he often uses ancient Chinese medical texts, for example, Huangdi Neijing, one of Chinese great medical works, to explain the philosophy behind the treatments. Other Chinese classics, such as Yijing, Zhuangzi, and Lunyu, which have long been foundation of Chinese philosophy, are also on Walker’s reading list. He takes pleasure in absorbing ancient wisdom because he finds many ideas deeply intertwined (交织) with TCM practices.
One fundamental worldview of TCM highlights the balance, from which Walker himself benefited. In the past, he experienced significant emotional ups and downs, and tended to be somewhat stubborn, often viewing things from his own perspective. Now he has become more tolerant and approached issues from multiple angles with a more inclusive (包容的) perspective. In other words, his personality has also become more balanced.
According to Walker, the unique wisdom rooted in Chinese culture can not only benefit physical well-being but can also extend beyond medicine and offer excellent guidance for the whole world. He stressed, “If more people could understand the TCM wisdom, the world would become more peaceful.”

The urban fruit flies that fly around the apples on your counter have to navigate (导航) a rich visual environment to find that food. Desert fruit flies, not so much. They fly through a mostly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers to find certain fruit. Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study contradicts that belief.
Flying fruit flies have two jobs: to head toward interesting things, and also stay stable during flight. Like humans, vision helps fruit flies move straight and stay stable while navigating toward attractive objects. Looking at interesting things interrupts the vision needed to stay stable.
To study how the two types of fruit flies navigate, the researchers designed a system that let the flies interact with objects while tracking their body and eye movements with a camera. They glued a tiny piece of metal to the fly’s back and connected it to a magnet (磁铁) hanging from the top of a round, drum-like device. Another magnet at the bottom of the drum created a magnetic field that held the metal exactly in position while allowing the fly to move around within the drum. The walls of the drum were covered with LED lights and a computer created different moving shapes in various sizes and directions using the lights. The fly could choose how to interact with these virtual objects. One of the objects was a vertical bar (垂直条形物) that looked like something natural, like a tree. This was designed to test how the fly would use the bar and background to navigate.
The desert flies ignored the background and moved to follow the vertical bar smoothly, while the urban flies only relied on the background to navigate smoothly.Desert and urban flies both made rapid eye movements, called saccades, to follow objects that moved along a continuous path.
Fruit flies are often used in experiments studying visual perception and processing.The finding expands the possibilities for what scientists can learn about vision in humans and can also be used to aid the development of autonomous vehicles.
8. What belief about fruit flies has been held for a long time?
A. They have wonderful hunting skills.
B. They adopt the same navigating strategy.
C. They can adapt to complex environments.
D. They can handle predictable barriers well.
9. What is the fundamental flight challenge described in paragraph 2?
A. Distinguishing food from blocking objects.
B. Processing multiple visual signals at once.
C. Limited visual sharpness in complex settings.
D. Balancing target-tracking with flight stability.
10. Why were LED lights used in the experiment?
A. To effectively observe the stability of fruit flies.
B. To closely monitor the eye movements of fruit flies.
C. To create virtual objects for fruit flies to interact with.
D. To track the movement of fruit flies in the experiment.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Visual Navigation Strategies of Fruit Flies
B. Fruit Flies’ Visual Processing Preferences
C. The Great Survival Ability of Fruit Flies
D. Fruit Flies’ Environmental Adaptations
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了果蝇不同视觉导航策略的研究发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies.(尽管如此,长久以来人们一直认为其他种类的果蝇和城市果蝇一样,以相同的方式导航和保持平衡)”可知,长期以来人们认为其他种类的果蝇和城市果蝇导航和保持平衡的方式相同,也就是它们采用相同的导航策略。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Flying fruit flies have two jobs: to head toward interesting things, and also stay stable during flight. Like humans, vision helps fruit flies move straight and stay stable while navigating toward attractive objects. Looking at interesting things interrupts the vision needed to stay stable.(飞行的果蝇有两项任务:一是飞向有趣的东西,二是在飞行过程中保持稳定。和人类一样,视觉能帮助果蝇在飞向有吸引力的物体时保持直线飞行和稳定。看有趣的东西会干扰保持稳定所需的视觉)”可推知,果蝇飞行时面临的基本挑战是在追踪目标和保持飞行稳定之间取得平衡。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The walls of the drum were covered with LED lights and a computer created different moving shapes in various sizes and directions using the lights. The fly could choose howto interact with these virtual objects.(鼓的墙壁上覆盖着LED灯,电脑用这些灯创造出不同大小和方向的运动形状。果蝇可以选择如何与这些虚拟物体互动)”可知,LED 灯是用来创造虚拟物体让果蝇与之互动的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“The urban fruit flies that fly around the apples on your counter have to navigate (导航) a rich visual environment to find that food. Desert fruit flies, not so much. They fly through a mostly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers to find certain fruit. Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study contradicts that belief.(在你柜台上的苹果周围飞行的城市果蝇必须在丰富的视觉环境中导航才能找到食物。沙漠果蝇,没那么多。它们飞过一片空旷的土地,没有多少可预测的障碍来寻找某些水果。尽管如此,长期以来人们一直认为,其他种类的果蝇与城市果蝇一样导航和保持平衡。但一项新的研究与这一观点相矛盾)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于果蝇视觉导航策略的研究,介绍了研究的过程和发现。所以A选项“果蝇的视觉导航策略”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
“Digital switching” is a term that refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it.
Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.
“As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.
In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.
“I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom.
Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.
12. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory?
A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom.
C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion.
13. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on?
A. Its reason. B. Its consequence.
C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it.
14. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion.
C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning.
15. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply?
A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort.
B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources.
C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities.
D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字切换”这一行为,包括其与注意力转移、无聊感的关系,以及过度依赖 “数字切换” 可能带来的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.(她提出,无聊源于注意力转移。当人们实际的投入程度与他们想要的投入程度之间存在差距时,这些转移经常会发生。当一种情况缺乏新奇感或意义时,这种不愉快的情绪就会产生。)”可知,当人们实际投入程度与想要的投入程度有差距时,注意力就会转移,由此可知,注意力转移的原因是人们未满足的欲望。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的““As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.( ‘由于数字切换涉及频繁的注意力转移,我想知道这种行为可能如何影响我们的无聊感,’塔姆说。)”以及第四段中的“On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.(平均来说,他们跳过了八次——但当他们观看单个视频时,他们表示感到更无聊,投入度更低。参与者在另一个类似的实验中也有类似的经历。)”可知,塔姆对“数字切换”的研究重点是这种行为的后果,即人们在进行“数字切换”后感到更无聊和投入度更低。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(无聊可以激励人们探索他们的环境,并停止在几乎没有回报的活动上投入时间。然而,如果我们过度依赖快速逃避,就像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树寻找食物,却没有停留足够的时间去看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的风险。)”可知,最后一段通过把过度依赖快速逃避(“数字切换”)比喻成动物在林间跳跃寻找食物最终可能导致饿死,来警示读者这种行为可能导致的不好的结果;由此可知,最后一段的主要目的是发出警告,故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(然而,如果我们过度依赖快速逃避,就像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树寻找食物,却没有停留足够的时间去看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的风险。)”可知,将“数字切换”与动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树作比较,意味着快速逃避(“数字切换”)会阻止我们实现有意义的投入,就像动物没有在一棵树上停留足够时间,无法收获果实一样。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了火锅的历史起源、主要风格以及其受欢迎的原因。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:如果你曾经把勺子和筷子伸进一个深火锅里,你就会知道这道广受好评的菜绝对美味,吃起来也很有趣。修饰后文形容词delicious应用副词absolutely,作状语。故填absolutely。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:火锅通常与中国食物联系在一起,通常用各种中国传统食材调味,从生海鲜到蘑菇片不等。句中is seasoned为谓语动词,associate在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语hot pot构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填associated。
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一些历史学家追溯其起源到中国重庆附近长江和嘉陵江沿岸的船夫,他们发明了一种既便宜又高效的吃法。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词boatmen,先行词在从句中作主语,指人,故用关系代词who引导。故填who。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:另一些人认为早期的火锅与蒙古士兵有关。be linked to意为“与……有关”,是固定搭配。根据句意以及“early”可知宾语从句陈述过去的事情,要用一般过去时被动语态,主语hot pots是复数,be动词用were,故填were linked。

【答案】
As is known to all, sports play a crucial role in maintaining good health, especially for us students. However, as the result of heavy academic burden, many of us attach little importance to taking exercise or even are not willing to do it. Therefore, to encourage more students to take exercise as well as enhance our awareness that physical exercise contributes greatly to our health, the Student Union held the annual sports event — Sports Week from October 7, lasting two weeks. So appealing was the event that all the students took an active part in it.
During the two weeks, a variety of sports activities were organized, ranging from football and basketball matches to volleyball matches. Every team made full preparations for them. With excited audience cheering, every athlete went all out to compete in each match in pursuit of victory.
From my point of view, participating in sports activities has relieved our stress from study, helping us keep physically and mentally healthy. As a result, we are able to devote ourselves to study more energetically. Besides, by engaging in such sports activities, not only have we made more friends sharing the same interest, but we have also cultivated team spirit. I hope more students can spare time to do some sports in the future.

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。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

【答案】Paragraph 1: As the students worked. Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper-a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief washed over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Paragraph 2: Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enomious canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student’s imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her; she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall!” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom.
【解析】
