The Quickening: Creation and Community at the ends of the Earth by Elizabeth Rush(Milkweed Editions 2023/2024） It documents a 2019 exploration to Thwaites Glacier, which is critical to global sea-level rise. Besides recording the groundbreaking voyage, the book explores a personal question: What does it mean to have a child in extreme climate changes? The Quickening is an astonishing, vital book about Antarctica, climate change and motherhood. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question: Deciding Whether to Have Children in an Uncertain Future by Jade Sasser(Princeton University Press 2024） Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question is the first comprehensive study on how environmental emotions like eco-anxiety and climate guilt affect people’s decisions about having children. Sasser connects climate emotions with climate justice, stressing that culturally proper mental health services are key to ensuring justice for at-risk communities. Lessons for Survival: Mothering Against “The Apocalyptic” by Emily Raboteau (Henry Holt 2024） The book, from a mother’s perspective, shares pilgrims（朝圣之旅）to help her children grow in a crisis-filled era. With a camera, she seeks safe spaces for her kids, reflects on Black womanhood, motherhood and urban possibilities, and celebrates the beauty and weakness of nature. Combining reportage, autobiography and stories of protection, this creative work offers profound hope. Magic in a Drop of Water: How Ruth Patrick Taught the World about Water Pollution by Julie Winterbottom and illustrated by Susan Reagan(Rocky Pond Books 2025） It tells that as a brilliant scientist and a pioneer in studying water pollution, Ruth Patrick taught the world how to care for the environment. Born in 1917, Ruth Patrick was one of the only women in her field when she made her breakthrough discovery about biodiversity and the ecosystem of rivers, forever changing how ecologists understand pollution. 21. What do the four books have in common? A. They were published in 2024. B. They were authored by mothers. C. They are about the climate change. D. They showcase women’s involvement in climate action. 22. Whose book centers on the impact of environmental issues on people’s decision making? A. Elizabeth Rush. B. Jade Sasser. C. Julie Winterbottom. D. Emily Raboteau. 23. How would Lessons for Survival: Mothering Against “The Apocalyptic” benefit the readers? A. It teaches readers how to care for the environment. B. It helps readers adopt a positive attitude towards pollution. C. It provides readers with information about Antarctica climate change. D. It enables readers to learn how to survive in an environmentally challenged era. B Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority. Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University. In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA. She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a permanent position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration. In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations（方程式）describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report. Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl” — Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” 24. What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience? A. Her parents attached great importance to her education. B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939. C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section. D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been founded. 25. Why does the writer quote John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph? A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation was tough. B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader. C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable. D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy. 26. Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson? A. Modest and sociable. B. Talented and diligent. C. Stubborn and hardworking. D. Considerate and cooperative. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight C In a Tokyo workshop, 72-year-old potter Hiroshi Tanaka sits between over a spinning wheel, his hands shaping a lump of clay（粘土）into a teacup. Outside, young people line up, phones in hand, waiting to take photos of the process. This scene, once rare, is now common across Asia and Europe: traditional crafts — pottery, weaving, hand-dyed textiles — are enjoying a surprising revival, even as digital tools control daily life. Why are people drawn to these slow, labor-intensive practices? Psychologists point to “digital fatigue”: the constant flow of emails, messages, and social media updates leaves many people desiring activities that demand focus. Unlike scrolling through a screen, crafting requires patience. A single ceramic bowl might take days to mold, fire, and glaze. “It’s the opposite of instant satisfaction,” says London-based craft historian Elena Ruiz. “That’s exactly its appeal.” This revival isn’t just about nostalgia(怀旧的). Modern craftsmen are combining old techniques with new ideas. In Florence, Italy, a third-generation weaver uses 17th-century weaving machines to create fabrics for luxury brands, but adds patterns inspired by street art. In Seoul, a paper-maker integrates recycled coffee grounds into traditional hanji paper, making it both eco-friendly and trendy. These innovations keep crafts relevant, attracting younger consumers who value uniqueness over mass production. Critics argue that the trend risks turning crafts into more “artistic products”. They worry that workshops become photo spots rather than places of learning, and that the pressure to create “Instagram-worthy” pieces weakens the depth of traditional skills. Yet supporters argue that any attention is good. “If a teenager buys a hand-woven scarf because it looks cool online, they might later ask about how it was made,” notes Ruiz. “Interest is the first step toward preservation.” For Tanaka, the newfound popularity is a chance to pass on his knowledge. “My father thought pottery would die with machines,” he says, wiping clay from his apron. “But young people now want to learn. They see it’s not just about making things — it’s about making meaning.” 28. Why does the author mention “digital fatigue” in Paragraph 2? A. To criticize the overuse of digital tools in daily life. B. To stress people are less interested in social media. C. To explain why people desire focus-requiring activities. D. To prove crafts require more patience than digital activities. 29. What do examples in Paragraph 3 show? A. Innovation is more important than tradition. B. Traditional crafts can adapt to modern tastes. C. Young consumers prefer eco-friendly products. D. luxury brands depend on traditional techniques. 30. Which following statement would both critics and supporters most likely agree on? A. Traditional crafts possess values that need to be preserved. B. Innovation is in conflict with maintaining traditional skills. C. Young consumers alone will determine the future of craftsmanship. D. Digital exposure unavoidable harms the uniqueness of traditional crafts. 31. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Young people are responsible for preserving traditional skills. B. Traditional crafts are replacing digital products in modern life. C. Modern innovations are ruining the authenticity of traditional crafts. D. The revival of traditional crafts reflects a desire for meaning in a digital world. D Think of pollution and your mind’s eye might conjure up smoke-emitting factories, car exhausts（尾气）and those plastic garbage you see on beaches. What probably doesn’t spring to mind is the mesosphere, a slice of sky far above the height any plane flies. And yet a growing number of scientists are sounding the alarm that this could be the site of a worrying new form of pollution. There are currently more than 15, 000 satellites circling around our planet, and almost all are bound to be de-orbited(使脱离轨道), a nice way of saying they will burn up in the atmosphere. In doing so, they will release clouds of metals and reactive chemicals that could have worrying effects, mainly damaging our protective ozone（臭氧）layer. Over the past decade or so, the cost of launching satellites has decreased, thanks to the rise of reusable rockets. Both factors have led to the launch of a huge number of satellites. Foremost among them is the Starlink, which currently consists of around 8000 satellites used to provide broadband internet. Why does this pose a problem? The lifetime of these satellites is often only about five years, partly because they are designed to carry limited fuel, which they require to stay in the air. To prevent the old satellites from crowding into near-Earth space, risking crashing into each other, the satellite companies direct them into the atmosphere to burn up. However, when burned in air, the reaction will cause damage to the ozone known for absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun that would otherwise be harmful to life. Stefan Löhle, a leading scientist at the University of Stuttgart in Germany, proposes that simply changing the path of a satellite as it de-orbits could change the air resistance it experiences, potentially reducing the amount and composition of material left behind. Satellite pollution may not have become a serious threat yet, but for Löhle it isn’t OK for companies to set aside this concern. “It’s all a bit like, ‘let’s think about this later’,” he says. “But later is now.” 32. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 1? A. expose B. upgrade C. visualize D. ignore 33. What has contributed to the new form of pollution? A. Harming the ozone layer. B. Advancement in rocket technology. C. Founding of the Starlink. D. Burning up of the atmosphere. 34. What do we know about the satellite companies? A. They are profit-driven. B. They are in a tough spot. C. They are risk-taking. D. They are technologically advanced. 35. Which of the following best describes Stefan Löhle’s attitude? A. Many hands make light work. B. No use crying over spilt milk. C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Prevention is better than cure. 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。 Reimagining history is a fascinating phenomenon in contemporary art. More and more, I realize that artists are trying to retell historical events and past figures, to reflect on the past and to offer new perspectives on our current context. Artists have taken historical figures and given them new meanings that I find inspiring. Wiley, for instance, is known for his portraits of Black men and women in poses traditionally associated with the upper class. 36 That invites me to reflect on the power in the history of art. On the other hand, Christian Boltanski reimagines history by focusing on the traces of ordinary people. His artwork, The Heart Archives, is a collection of recorded heartbeats from thousands of people around the world, stored on a remote island in Japan. Instead of focusing on grand historical events, Boltanski builds a bridge to the past through the most universal human experience. 37 38 Projects like “The Legacy of the 1960s” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York gather works from multiple artists that analyze the impact of social movements from that decade. This cooperative approach allows me to hear various voices, offering me a richer and more complex view of history. Reimagining history can also be an act of protest. Artists like Doris Salcedo address painful historical events, such as the violence in Colombia, to give voice to the forgotten victims. Through this emotional art piece, Salcedo invites audience to reflect on the pain of the past and its relevance in the present, reminding us that the past is never truly separate from the present. 39 40 Some argue that reimagining history can belittle serious events or twist historical truth. It is essential that artists, including myself, approach this process with responsibility and a critical sense. A. His work aims to portray the Black in a realistic way. B. However, I am aware reimagining is not without its criticisms. C. Reimagining successfully leads people to view history critically. D. This type of work not only honors memory but also calls for action. E. Through such poetic gestures, I feel a deep sense of shared humanity. F. Besides individual artists, collective exhibitions are key in reimagining. G. In doing so, he challenges historical accounts that ignore people of color. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to believe that art was about creating a perfect picture. When I first entered Mr. Dawson’s art class, my only 41 was to produce a realistic drawing. I would spend hours carefully 42 every line, frustrated when my shading wasn’t 43 or my perspective was slightly off. Although my sketches were 44 accurate, they 45 souls. Mr. Dawson would often remind me, “Don’t draw what you see; draw what you 46 .” His words made little 47 to me then. One afternoon, feeling particularly disappointed with a failed portrait, I almost 48 my paper. Seeing my 49 , Mr. Dawson sat beside me. He took a charcoal piece（炭笔）and, with a few swift, almost careless strokes, sketched the same subject. It wasn’t perfect, but it was 50 . The lines were alive, capturing not just the 51 , but the feeling behind it. That day, something 52 inside me. I realized that I had been so focused on technique that I had lost sight of my original purpose for drawing — to express myself. I began to 53 , to let my hand move more freely. My drawings became messier, but for the first time, they became mine. They began to carry meaning and tell 54 . Now I understand that learning to draw, much like living itself, is not about achieving 55 . It is about the courage to accept imperfections, to make confident strokes, and to pour your heart onto that blank canvas. The most beautiful art often comes from the journey of embracing our imperfections. 41. A. prediction B. goal C. insight D. hobby 42. A. taking up B. referring to C. depending on D. working on 43. A. complicated B. smooth C. cooling D. usual 44. A. technically B. physically C. economically D. emotionally 45. A. touched B. had C. lacked D. hurt 46. A. taste B. touch C. hear D. feel 47. A. wealth B. progress C. effort D. sense 48. A. folded B. tore C. hid D. delivered 49. A. trick B. spirit C. struggle D. power 50. A. expressive B. simple C. strange D. finished 51. A. mood B. shape C. heart D. interest 52. A. clicked B. broke C. wandered D. disappeared 53. A. record B. hesitate C. experiment D. select 54. A. stories B. lies C. jokes D. truth 55. A. freedom B. fame C. balance D. perfection 第二节（共10小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Claude Monet, a pioneer of French Impressionism, is famous for his beautiful paintings of water lilies. However, one of his most fascinating stories involves the painting 56 gave the entire art movement its name. In 1874, Monet and a group of like-minded artists organized an independent exhibition as a protest 57 the traditional Paris Salon. Monet submitted a painting 58 (title) "Impression, Sunrise", which described the harbor of Le Havre at dawn not with detailed 59 (accurate), but with a hazy, dream-like quality. An art critic named Louis Leroy saw the painting and wrote a now-famous review — The Exhibition of the Impressionists, 60 (state) that their work was only an unfinished sketch, not a completed painting and that Monet and his friends were not artists but simply impressionists. Instead of 61 (discourage) by the criticism, Monet and his friends recognized that Leroy’s insult had, quite by accident, given them a perfect name. 62 term “Impressionism” actually described their goal: 63 (capture) a particular moment in time with its particular lighting, mood, and feelings. They adopted the name, and the group 64 (official) became known as the Impressionist. The painting once mocked as a joke is now a masterpiece. This story shows Monet’s determination and innovation. It could 65 (argue) that without Impression, Sunrise, the very name would not have existed at all. 第四部分 写作（共两节；满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 假设你是李华，你校英语报就"学校是否应每周开设一节校园兴趣拓展课"展开讨论。请你写一篇短文投稿，表达你的看法，内容包括： 1. 陈述观点； 2. 阐明理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Editor, Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 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。 The golden sunset light had long faded, replaced by the deep twilight of evening outside the window, but Alex saw none of it. His entire world had narrowed down to the notes spread across his desk. Tomorrow morning was the most important time of his life — an interview at his high school for his dream university. Years of hard work had led to this moment, and he was determined to be perfectly prepared. He was diligently working through a common interview question: Share an experience of overcoming a challenge. He was brainstorming, trying to think of a good story to tell, when suddenly, the sharp ring of his phone cut through the silence. It was his best friend, Ben. But the voice on the other end was unrecognizable — choked with tears and shaking with panic. Between sobs, Ben explained the reason: an important part of his science project was badly broken on his way to the school lab. “The science fair at our school is tomorrow morning,” Ben’s voice broke. “There’s no time to build a new one from nothing,” Ben said from the empty school laboratory where he waited. A heavy silence filled the phone line for a moment before he spoke again, his voice softer but full of hope. “But you’re the only one, Alex...the only one who really knows how all the pieces fit together. We can fix the model if we work together. I know we can.” Alex’s heart felt heavy. He looked at his interview notes, his eyes lingering on the question about overcoming a challenge. He had worked so hard for this opportunity. His parents were proud of him. But he also heard how frustrated and scared his best friend was. He remembered all the times Ben had helped him in the past, and he promised he would always be there for Ben. A war raged inside him — promise to his friend against responsibility to himself and his family. Should he stay and prepare for his own future, or should he go and help his friend save his project? The clock on the wall ticked loudly, each second echoing the difficult choice he had to make. 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。 Having struggled for quite a while, Alex made a difficult decision. The next morning, Alex rushed to the interview room, nervous and uneasy. 武汉二中2028届高一上学期英语周练五第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
