When our teacher announced we would perform The Merchant of Venice for the school art festival, my heart leaped with excitement. I had always admired Portia — the intelligent and brave heroine (女主角) . I immediately volunteered for the role, confident I was perfect for it.
To my disappointment, my best friend Lily was chosen instead. The teacher said she had “natural grace” that suited the character. I was given the tiny role of Nerissa, Portia’s maid (女仆).
During rehearsals (排练) , I was determined to steal the spotlight. Instead of supporting Lily, I added more dramatic gestures, trying to prove I was the better Portia. “Maybe Portia should say this in a colder way,” I suggested when we ran lines together, hoping it would make Lily’s acting less likable. The teacher saw that Lily was having trouble with the role, so he let us switch. Even after that, Lily still helped me — fixing my costumes, bringing me water, and always encouraging me to do my best.
The big performance day arrived. During the court scene where Portia must give her famous “mercy speech” — the most important part of the play — my mind went blank. The audience waited silently as I forgot the lines. Just then, Lily cleverly stepped forward and whispered in character, “The law says… perhaps you should check again, my lord?” Her newly-added line reminded me of my next words while staying perfectly in her role. Her small role as a maid suddenly seemed more important than my grand speeches.
After the show, we found Lily rushing out. Our teacher explained, Lily’s mother had cancer. Yet she kept smiling through it all, facing everyone with warmth. She hid the fact that she was both rehearsing and caring for her mother so the play wouldn’t suffer.
Tears filled my eyes as I realized that while all I cared about was being the star, Lily had been the true heroine all along. She taught me that real brilliance doesn’t come from the center stage, but from the light we carry in our hearts. That night, I went to the hospital and hugged my friend, finally understanding what truly makes a Portia.
4. What did the author do during rehearsals?

A. Ashamed. B. Confused. C. Excited. D. Inspired.
7. Which of the following can best describe Lily?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者争取《威尼斯商人》主角未果,排练时刁难获角的好友莉莉,演出忘词被莉莉救场,得知其带病母排练的真相后深受触动。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“During rehearsals (排练), I was determined to steal the spotlight. Instead of supporting Lily, I added more dramatic gestures, trying to prove I was the better Portia. “Maybe Portia should say this in a colder way,” I suggested when we ran lines together, hoping it would make Lily’s acting less likable. (排练的时候,我决定抢镜。我没有支持莉莉,而是加入了更多戏剧性的动作,试图证明我是更好的波西亚。“也许Portia应该用一种更冷的方式来表达,”我们一起排练台词时,我建议道,希望这能让Lily的表演不那么讨人喜欢。)”可知,作者在排练期间误导莉莉对角色的演绎。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The audience waited silently as I forgot the lines. Just then, Lily cleverly stepped forward and whispered in character, “The law says… perhaps you should check again, my lord?” Her newly-added line reminded me of my next words while staying perfectly in her role. (观众们静静地等待着,而我却忘记了台词。就在这时,莉莉机智地走上前来,模仿着角色的声音小声说道:“法律规定……也许您应该再检查一下,大人?”她新加入的台词让我想起了接下来要说的话,同时又完全融入了角色之中。)”可知,在那场重要的演出日那天,莉莉凭借敏捷的思维挽救了那个场面。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Tears filled my eyes as I realized that while all I cared about was being the star, Lily had been the true heroine all along. (当我意识到自己所关心的只是成为那个耀眼的明星,而莉莉其实一直都是真正的英雄时,我的眼中满是泪水。)”可知,表演结束后,作者可能会感到自责。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Even after that, Lily still helped me — fixing my costumes, bringing me water, and always encouraging me to do my best. (即便在那之后,莉莉仍然一直帮助着我——帮我整理服装,给我送水,而且总是鼓励我全力以赴。)”以及倒数第二段“After the show, we found Lily rushing out. Our teacher explained, Lily’s mother had cancer. Yet she kept smiling through it all, facing everyone with warmth. She hid the fact that she was both rehearsing and caring for her mother so the play wouldn’t suffer. (演出结束后,我们看到莉莉匆匆跑出去了。我们的老师解释说,莉莉的母亲患了癌症。但她始终面带微笑,始终热情地对待每一个人。她隐瞒了自己既要排练又要照顾母亲这一事实,以免这场演出受到影响。)”可知,莉莉面对作者的刁难仍主动帮忙打理服装、鼓励对方;即便母亲患癌,也隐瞒情况坚持排练且始终面带微笑,足以体现她体贴他人、性格乐观的特质,故选D。
C
A recent study has revealed how sharks transformed from small, deep-sea creatures into the powerful ocean predators (掠食者) we know today, with global warming playing a key role in this transformation. Modern sharks, such as the great white, are known for their speed, size, and hunting skills, but their ancestors were quite different. These ancient sharks were smaller and lived near the ocean floor, much like many shark species still do today.
Researchers examined body and fin (鱼鳍) measurements from over 500 shark species, including both living sharks and fossils (化石). By analyzing these physical features, scientists were able to trace how sharks gradually changed over millions of years. They compared the shapes and sizes of fins, bodies, and other features across different time periods, identifying key changes that occurred as sharks adapted to new environments. To see these transformations clearly, the team created detailed diagrams showing how early deep-sea sharks developed longer fins and straight bodies suited for open-water hunting.
The study suggests that a major shift occurred around 93 million years ago when volcanic eruptions caused the planet, including the oceans, to warm significantly. As ocean temperatures rose, the water held less oxygen, making it harder for some species to survive in the depths. To adapt, certain sharks began moving closer to the surface, where oxygen levels were higher due to contact with the air. Their journey toward the ocean’s surface was perilous — they either found food or became food.
Over time, these sharks developed bigger pectoral (胸的) fins — the fins on the sides of their bodies. “These fins, shaped like airplane wings, minimized energy loss, allowing sharks to swim faster while using less strength against other predators,” Phillip Sternes, the lead researcher, said. “Additionally, warmer surface waters improved their muscle performance, enabling them to swim faster than their deep- sea relatives. This habitat change, however, came at a cost — their vision gradually weakened over time as their eyes became less necessary in the brightly lit, shallow waters.”
This study highlights how environmental changes, such as global warming, can drive important transformations, turning the small bottom- living sharks into the most skilled hunters in the ocean.
8. How did researchers conduct the study?
A. By exploring sharks’ natural habitats. B. By tracking sharks’ movement patterns.
C. By mapping sharks’ adaptation process. D. By observing sharks’ hunting behavior in the wild.
9. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mysterious. B. Smooth. C. Tiring. D. Dangerous.
10. What does Phillip Sternes think of sharks’ pectoral fins?
A. They enable sharks to breathe easily. B. They help sharks swim efficiently.
C. They make up for sharks’ poor vision. D. They help regulate sharks’ body temperature.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Life Cycle of Different Shark Species
B. Volcanic Activity Damaged sharks’ Habitats
C. How sharks Rose to the Top of the Ocean Food Chain
D. How Climate Change Influences Modern sharks’ Survival
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究,揭示了鲨鱼如何从深海底栖的小型生物演变为强大的海洋顶级掠食者,并强调了全球变暖在这一演变过程中的关键作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers examined body and fin (鱼鳍) measurements from over 500 shark species, including both living sharks and fossils (化石). By analyzing these physical features, scientists were able to trace how sharks gradually changed over millions of years.(研究人员检查了500多种鲨鱼的身体和鱼鳍测量数据,包括现存鲨鱼和化石。通过分析这些身体特征,科学家们能够追溯鲨鱼在数百万年间是如何逐渐变化的。)”和“To see these transformations clearly, the team created detailed diagrams showing how early deep-sea sharks developed longer fins and straight bodies suited for open-water hunting.(为了清晰地看到这些变化,研究团队绘制了详细的图表,展示早期深海鲨鱼如何发育出适合开放水域捕猎的更长鱼鳍和更直的身体。)”可知,研究人员主要通过分析鲨鱼的身体数据并绘制其适应过程的图表来进行研究,即“描绘鲨鱼的适应过程”。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Their journey toward the ocean’s surface was perilous — they either found food or became food.(它们向海洋表层的旅程是perilous的——它们要么找到食物,要么成为食物。)”破折号后的解释部分说明,这是一场要么成功捕食、要么被捕食的生死考验。因此,“perilous”的含义应为“危险的”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段研究负责人Phillip Sternes的话“These fins, shaped like airplane wings, minimized energy loss, allowing sharks to swim faster while using less strength against other predators (这些形似飞机机翼的鱼鳍,最大限度地减少了能量损失,使鲨鱼在对抗其他捕食者时能用更少的力气游得更快)”可知,他认为鲨鱼的胸鳍有助于它们高效地游泳。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A recent study has revealed how sharks transformed from small, deep-sea creatures into the powerful ocean predators (掠食者) we know today, with global warming playing a key role in this transformation.(最近一项研究揭示了鲨鱼如何从深海底栖的小型生物演变成我们今天所知的强大海洋掠食者,而全球变暖在这一转变过程中起到了关键作用。)”点明了全文讨论的核心:鲨鱼的演化过程及其驱动力。文章主体部分,如第二至四段,具体描述了研究过程、环境变化如何迫使鲨鱼迁徙并演化出新的适应性特征,最终成为顶级掠食者。最后一段“This study highlights how environmental changes, such as global warming, can drive important transformations, turning the small bottom- living sharks into the most skilled hunters in the ocean.(这项研究突显了像全球变暖这样的环境变化如何驱动重要的演化转变,将小型底栖鲨鱼变成海洋中最熟练的猎手。)”再次总结了研究结论。因此,全文的核心主旨是解释鲨鱼如何通过演化上升到海洋食物链顶端。C项“鲨鱼如何崛起至海洋食物链顶端”准确概括了这一主旨,适合作文章标题。故选C项。
D
When discussing modern art and culture, few cities compare to Paris, and few periods are as legendary as “The crazy Years” of the 1920s. After World War I, Paris became a lively center for artists, writers, musicians, and fashion designers.
In the 1920s, Paris attracted famous writers like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein. Literary (文学的) gatherings in cafes allowed writers to exchange thoughts and experiment with bold new styles. Hemingway’s simple, direct essays and Fitzgerald’s poetic storytelling broke away from tradition, defining modern literature.
Painters such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Amedeo Modigliani came to Paris. Their styles’ were later called the School of Paris — their works often featured bold colors, abstract shapes and personal symbols, reflecting their personal struggles and cultural backgrounds. Many were immigrants escaping war or poverty, whose paintings powerfully showed joy, loneliness, sadness and pain.
Jazz, an energetic new sound from America, took Paris by storm in the 1920s. The publication of jazz recordings helped popularize the music in France. This brand new music, rooted in African-American communities, became a powerful force breaking racial barriers. Black musicians, who faced rejection in the U. S. , were celebrated as stars in Paris. Their performances not only entertained but also symbolized cultural unity, mixing African styles with European songs. In Parisian jazz clubs, people of different backgrounds danced together, showing how jazz music could bridge divides and create a shared language of joy and freedom.
Paris also became the world’s fashion capital in the 1920s, thanks to designers like Coco Chanel. She introduced simple, elegant styles, freeing women from heavy clothing. The famous designer, Jean Patou, brought sportswear into high fashion, reflecting that women could compete in sports just like men — even on the Olympic stage. Beyond the court, Patou pioneered tailored clothes for women, from practical suits to factory dresses. These designs weren’t just stylish — they symbolized women’s growing independence and their right to earn their own living.
The 1920s transformed Paris into the “City of Light,” a place where art, fashion, music, and ideas developed. Its influence has extended all the way to the present day.
12. What was a key feature of literature during the 1920s in Paris?
A. Stressing literary innovation. B. Advocating classical literature.
C. Focusing mainly on scientific writing. D. Encouraging complex literary structures.
13. What do we know about the artworks of the School of Paris?
A. They followed strict color and shape standards. B. They expressed a wealth of human emotions.
C. They illustrated beautiful natural landscapes. D. They highlighted realistic everyday life scenes.
14. What does the author think of the popularity of jazz in Paris?
A. It showed the rich leisure activities of the society.
B. It reflected the cultural inclusiveness of the city.
C. It proved the rise of recording technology in France.
D. It celebrated the artistic talent of native French artists.
15. Why was Jean Patou’s fashion design significant?
A. It preserved the customs of the upper classes. B. It represented the elegant French fashion.
C. It pioneered the luxury industry. D. It promoted social equality.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了20世纪20年代,巴黎成为文化艺术中心,文学、绘画、爵士乐蓬勃发展,时尚革新推动女性独立,其影响延续至今。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Literary (文学的) gatherings in cafes allowed writers to exchange thoughts and experiment with bold new styles. Hemingway’s simple, direct essays and Fitzgerald’s poetic storytelling broke away from tradition, defining modern literature.(在咖啡馆举行的文学聚会让作家们得以交流思想并尝试新颖大胆的写作风格。海明威简洁直接的散文以及菲茨杰拉德富有诗意的叙事方式打破了传统,从而定义了现代文学)”可知,20世纪20年代的巴黎文学界的一个重要特征是强调文学创新。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many were immigrants escaping war or poverty, whose paintings powerfully showed joy, loneliness, sadness and pain.(许多画家是因躲避战争或摆脱贫困而来到这里的移民,他们的画作生动地展现了喜悦、孤独、悲伤和痛苦等情感)”可知,巴黎画派的画作充分展现了丰富的人类情感。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In Parisian jazz clubs, people of different backgrounds danced together, showing how jazz music could bridge divides and create a shared language of joy and freedom.(在巴黎的爵士俱乐部里,来自不同背景的人们一起跳舞,这表明爵士音乐能够消除隔阂,建立起一种充满欢乐与自由的共同语言)”可知,作者认为巴黎爵士乐的流行体现了这座城市的文化包容性。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These designs weren’t just stylish — they symbolized women’s growing independence and their right to earn their own living.(这些设计不仅美观,还象征着女性日益增强的独立意识以及她们自主谋生的权利)”可知,让·帕图的时尚设计促进了社会平等。故选D。

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was 11 pm when Alex Conrad saw a woman on Main Street Bridge. Her car was parked strangely on the shoulder, hazard lights (危险警示灯) flashing weakly. She was standing beside the driver’s door, one arm stuck inside the window, and her body bent awkwardly as if she were struggling to break free.
Instead of taking a shortcut (抄近路) across the bridge, Alex slowed down. Something felt off. (有些事感觉不对劲) . Why would anyone be stuck with their car this late — especially in March, when Wisconsin’s night wind cut through jackets like a knife? He circled back, parked 15 feet behind her car with his own hazard lights on, and stepped out.
“Hey, you okay?” he called. The woman jumped then winced (疼得一咧嘴) . She was in her 20s, with her hair messy from the wind. Her free hand grasped the car door handle so tightly that her knuckles (指关节) had turned white.
“The door — it won’t open,” she replied, pulling her arm again. “I stopped because the engine started making strange noises, and when I got out to check it, the door lock jammed. The window was halfway down, so I leaned in, trying the inside handle. Suddenly, the window rolled up. Now my arm’s stuck between the window and the frame,” Her voice cracked. Alex could see red marks forming on her arm where the metal was digging into her skin.
“I’m Alex. Let’s take it slow,” he said, walking over carefully. The woman told him her name was Mia. She’d been driving home from her part-time job at a supermarket when the car started acting up.
For the next 20 minutes, Alex tried gentle fixes. He pulled the outside handle — locked. Without hesitation, he rushed to the passenger side, opened the door, and climbed across the seat. He desperately pressed the window switch and pulled the inside handle, but nothing happened.
Mia’s arm started to shake. “What if my arm goes numb (麻木的) ?” she whispered.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Before Alex could answer, he noticed a police car round the corner.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, Mia pulled her arm free.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Before Alex could answer, he noticed a police car round the corner. The officers saw the hazard lights flashing in the darkness and pulled over to investigate. “Is there a problem here?” one of them called out as they approached. Alex quickly explained the desperate situation, pointing to Mia’s trapped arm and the rising panic in her eyes. One officer immediately went back to get a few tools from the police car. Working together, they slipped a thin metal tool between the glass and the door frame. With steady pressure, they created just enough space to free the trapped arm.
Finally, Mia pulled her arm free. She was shaking, both from the cold and the shock. “Thank you — all of you,” she said as she rubbed her arm gently. Tears of relief welled up in her eyes. One officer called a local repair service to have Mia’s car taken away, while Alex handed her his jacket. After everything was settled, Mia waved warm goodbyes to the officers and Alex before taking a taxi home. Back in his car, Alex realized that his small choice had turned a frightening situation into a safe resolution. Sometimes, he thought, the best thing you can do is simply stop and care.

When our teacher announced we would perform The Merchant of Venice for the school art festival my heart leaped with excitement. I had always admired Portia — the intelligent and brave heroine (女主角) . I immediately volunteered for the role, confident I was perfect for it.
To my disappointment, my best friend Lily was chosen instead. The teacher said she had “natural grace” that suited the character. I was given the tiny role of Nerissa, Portia’s maid (女仆).
During rehearsals (排练) , I was determined to steal the spotlight. Instead of supporting Lily, I added more dramatic gestures, trying to prove I was the better Portia. “Maybe Portia should say this in a colder way,” I suggested when we ran lines together, hoping it would make Lily’s acting less likable. The teacher saw that Lily was having trouble with the role, so he let us switch. Even after that, Lily still helped me — fixing my costumes, bringing me water, and always encouraging me to do my best.
The big performance day arrived. During the court scene where Portia must give her famous “mercy speech” — the most important part of the play — my mind went blank. The audience waited silently as I forgot the lines. Just then, Lily cleverly stepped forward and whispered in character, “The law says… perhaps you should check again, my lord?” Her newly-added line reminded me of my next words while staying perfectly in her role. Her small role as a maid suddenly seemed more important than my grand speeches.
After the show, we found Lily rushing out. Our teacher explained, Lily’s mother had cancer. Yet she kept smiling through it all, facing everyone with warmth. She hid the fact that she was both rehearsing and caring for her mother so the play wouldn’t suffer.
Tears filled my eyes as I realized that while all I cared about was being the star, Lily had been the true heroine all along. She taught me that real brilliance doesn’t come from the center stage, but from the light we carry in our hearts. That night, I went to the hospital and hugged my friend, finally understanding what truly makes a Portia.
4. What did the author do during rehearsals?
A. She revised her lines secretly. B. She misled Lily about the role.
C. She performed her role poorly. D. She asked Lily to switch roles.
5. What happened to Lily on the big performance day?
A. She shared her secret with the cast. B. She became a hit with the audience.
C. She saved the scene with her quick thinking. D. She made the author rethink her acting skills.
6. How might the author feel after the performance?
A. Ashamed. B. Confused. C. Excited. D. Inspired.
7. Which of the following can best describe Lily?
A. Patient but forgetful. B. Insightful but proud.

A recent study has revealed how sharks transformed from small, deep-sea creatures into the powerful ocean predators (掠食者) we know today, with global warming playing a key role in this transformation. Modern sharks, such as the great white, are known for their speed, size, and hunting skills, but their ancestors were quite different. These ancient sharks were smaller and lived near the ocean floor, much like many shark species still do today.
Researchers examined body and fin (鱼鳍) measurements from over 500 shark species, including both living sharks and fossils (化石). By analyzing these physical features, scientists were able to trace how sharks gradually changed over millions of years. They compared the shapes and sizes of fins, bodies, and other features across different time periods, identifying key changes that occurred as sharks adapted to new environments. To see these transformations clearly, the team created detailed diagrams showing how early deep-sea sharks developed longer fins and straight bodies suited for open-water hunting.
The study suggests that a major shift occurred around 93 million years ago when volcanic eruptions caused the planet, including the oceans, to warm significantly. As ocean temperatures rose, the water held less oxygen, making it harder for some species to survive in the depths. To adapt, certain sharks began moving closer to the surface, where oxygen levels were higher due to contact with the air. Their journey toward the ocean’s surface was perilous — they either found food or became food.
Over time, these sharks developed bigger pectoral (胸的) fins — the fins on the sides of their bodies. “These fins, shaped like airplane wings, minimized energy loss, allowing sharks to swim faster while using less strength against other predators,” Phillip Sternes, the lead researcher, said. “Additionally, warmer surface waters improved their muscle performance, enabling them to swim faster than their deep- sea relatives. This habitat change, however, came at a cost — their vision gradually weakened over time as their eyes became less necessary in the brightly lit, shallow waters.”
This study highlights how environmental changes, such as global warming, can drive important transformations, turning the small bottom- living sharks into the most skilled hunters in the ocean.
8. How did researchers conduct the study?
A. By exploring sharks’ natural habitats. B. By tracking sharks’ movement patterns.
C. By mapping sharks’ adaptation process. D. By observing sharks’ hunting behavior in the wild.
9. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mysterious. B. Smooth. C. Tiring. D. Dangerous.
10. What does Phillip Sternes think of sharks’ pectoral fins?
A. They enable sharks to breathe easily. B. They help sharks swim efficiently.
C. They make up for sharks’ poor vision. D. They help regulate sharks’ body temperature.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Life Cycle of Different Shark Species
B. Volcanic Activity Damaged sharks’ Habitats
C. How sharks Rose to the Top of the Ocean Food Chain
D. How Climate Change Influences Modern sharks’ Survival

When discussing modern art and culture, few cities compare to Paris, and few periods are as legendary as “The crazy Years” of the 1920s. After World War I, Paris became a lively center for artists, writers, musicians, and fashion designers.
In the 1920s, Paris attracted famous writers like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein. Literary (文学的) gatherings in cafes allowed writers to exchange thoughts and experiment with bold new styles. Hemingway’s simple, direct essays and Fitzgerald’s poetic storytelling broke away from tradition, defining modern literature.
Painters such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Amedeo Modigliani came to Paris. Their styles’ were later called the School of Paris — their works often featured bold colors, abstract shapes and personal symbols, reflecting their personal struggles and cultural backgrounds. Many were immigrants escaping war or poverty, whose paintings powerfully showed joy, loneliness, sadness and pain.
Jazz, an energetic new sound from America, took Paris by storm in the 1920s. The publication of jazz recordings helped popularize the music in France. This brand new music, rooted in African-American communities, became a powerful force breaking racial barriers. Black musicians, who faced rejection in the U. S. , were celebrated as stars in Paris. Their performances not only entertained but also symbolized cultural unity, mixing African styles with European songs. In Parisian jazz clubs, people of different backgrounds danced together, showing how jazz music could bridge divides and create a shared language of joy and freedom.
Paris also became the world’s fashion capital in the 1920s, thanks to designers like Coco Chanel. She introduced simple, elegant styles, freeing women from heavy clothing. The famous designer, Jean Patou, brought sportswear into high fashion, reflecting that women could compete in sports just like men — even on the Olympic stage. Beyond the court, Patou pioneered tailored clothes for women, from practical suits to factory dresses. These designs weren’t just stylish — they symbolized women’s growing independence and their right to earn their own living.
The 1920s transformed Paris into the “City of Light,” a place where art, fashion, music, and ideas developed. Its influence has extended all the way to the present day.
12. What was a key feature of literature during the 1920s in Paris?
A. Stressing literary innovation. B. Advocating classical literature.
C. Focusing mainly on scientific writing. D. Encouraging complex literary structures.
13. What do we know about the artworks of the School of Paris?
A. They followed strict color and shape standards. B. They expressed a wealth of human emotions.
C. They illustrated beautiful natural landscapes. D. They highlighted realistic everyday life scenes.
14. What does the author think of the popularity of jazz in Paris?
A. It showed the rich leisure activities of the society.
B. It reflected the cultural inclusiveness of the city.
C It proved the rise of recording technology in France.
D. It celebrated the artistic talent of native French artists.
15. Why was Jean Patou’s fashion design significant?
A. It preserved the customs of the upper classes. B. It represented the elegant French fashion.
C. It pioneered the luxury industry. D. It promoted social equality.

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was 11 pm when Alex Conrad saw a woman on Main Street Bridge. Her car was parked strangely on the shoulder hazard lights (危险警示灯) flashing weakly. She was standing beside the driver’s door, one arm stuck inside the window, and her body bent awkwardly as if she were struggling to break free.
Instead of taking a shortcut (抄近路) across the bridge, Alex slowed down. Something felt off. (有些事感觉不对劲) . Why would anyone be stuck with their car this late — especially in March, when Wisconsin’s night wind cut through jackets like a knife? He circled back, parked 15 feet behind her car with his own hazard lights on, and stepped out.
“Hey, you okay?” he called. The woman jumped then winced (疼得一咧嘴) . She was in her 20s, with her hair messy from the wind. Her free hand grasped the car door handle so tightly that her knuckles (指关节) had turned white.
“The door — it won’t open,” she replied, pulling her arm again. “I stopped because the engine started making strange noises, and when I got out to check it, the door lock jammed. The window was halfway down, so I leaned in, trying the inside handle. Suddenly, the window rolled up. Now my arm’s stuck between the window and the frame,” Her voice cracked. Alex could see red marks forming on her arm where the metal was digging into her skin.
“I’m Alex. Let’s take it slow,” he said, walking over carefully. The woman told him her name was Mia. She’d been driving home from her part-time job at a supermarket when the car started acting up.
For the next 20 minutes, Alex tried gentle fixes. He pulled the outside handle — locked. Without hesitation, he rushed to the passenger side, opened the door, and climbed across the seat. He desperately pressed the window switch and pulled the inside handle, but nothing happened.
Mia’s arm started to shake. “What if my arm goes numb (麻木的) ?” she whispered.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Before Alex could answer, he noticed a police car round the corner.
