In Changchun, Jilin Province, the students and their teacher at No. 150 High School have drawn wide attention with 1 amazing 3.5-meter-high, 11-meter-long relief mural (浮雕壁画) based on the famous and influential Song-Dynasty painting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
According to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017;23 percent visited an art museum;six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art—we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.
Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life fuller and happier.
Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuit. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, in particular expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to the true reality.
Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it stimulated(刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in”, you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury(奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don't make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep:a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction.
1.What does paragraph 1 focus on?
A.The opinion of U.S. adults about art.
B.The types of art that U.S. adults engage in.
C.The mismatch between values and behaviour as to art.
D.The connection between everyday experiences and art.
2.What is a mistaken idea in the author's opinion?
A.Art reveals the nature of life.
B.Art gives way to material pursuit.
C.Life without art is meaningless.
D.Background music is a kind of art.
3.What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?
A.Art awakes people's talents.
B.Art improves physical health.
C.Art brings us closer to nature.
D.Art makes life fuller and happier.
4.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Art:A Necessity, Not a Luxury B.Art:A Bridge, Not a Barrier
C.Art:A Decoration, Not a Reality D.Art:A Pleasure, Not a Burden
Ⅳ.七选五
Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects precisely as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 1 . It's more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take Mona Lisa for example—it's a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 2 , helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 3 . They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people are fond of trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.
4 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 5 .
A.Both types of art need skills
B.Photographs preserve faces of folks from long ago
C.Grasping abstract art demands more artistic training
D.Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty
E.In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances
F.Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life
G.Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations

Ⅴ.读后续写
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, evidently 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. 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 freely. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
As the students worked,Mary observed them with curiosity.
Mary stood back and surveyed the creation.

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.whose 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,与前面内容用逗号隔开,后面的goal前缺少定语,故推测设空处引导定语从句并在从句中作定语,所以用关系代词whose引导从句。
2.named 考查过去分词。被修饰词artist与提示词name之间为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填named。

4.a 考查冠词。固定结构a collection of...意为“一批……”。故填a。
5.showing 考查现在分词。设空处前面是there be句型,句中已有谓语,故设空处应用非谓语动词;提示词show与其逻辑主语(a collection of nearly 100 bronze objects)之间为主动关系,所以设空处应用现在分词作状语。故填showing。
6.Finally 考查副词。设空处位于句首,提示词为形容词,后面有逗号,且后面的句子意思完整,所以设空处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。故填Finally。

10.to 考查介词。固定短语bring...to life意为“使……鲜活起来”,这里为其被动语态。故填to。
Ⅱ.语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一所中学的学生和老师根据《千里江山图》创作了一幅大型浮雕壁画,学生对该成就感到无比自豪,学校计划继续开发类似课程以促进文化欣赏和学生发展。
1.an 考查冠词。设空处修饰relief mural,表示泛指,应用不定冠词,且amazing的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
2.was crafted 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:这幅画历时129天,由21名学生和他们的美术老师段英子共同精心制作,是一门独特的课外课程的一部分。空前的it(第三人称单数)作主语,设空处为谓语,结合前文内容可知,此处在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,提示词craft意为“精心制作”,和主语it之间为被动关系。故填was crafted。
3.celebrated 考查过去分词。句意:这幅壁画画在一间美术教室的墙上,再现了王希孟的杰作的一个复杂部分,该作品以其丰富的细节而被赞美。设空处前面部分句子成分完整,提示词为动词,所以设空处应用非谓语动词,提示词celebrate(赞美)和前面的masterpiece在逻辑上是被动关系,故填过去分词celebrated。
4.under 考查介词。under one's guidance意为“在某人的指导下”。故填under。句意:在段英子的指导下,学生们仔细地捕捉这幅画的景深效果,以极大的努力和精确性来强化元素。
5.depth 考查名词。设空处作capture的宾语,且被scenic修饰,所以填deep的名词形式depth,意为“立体感,纵深感”。故填depth。

8.whom 考查定语从句。句意:学生们发现这个项目非常有意义,他们中的一些人之前没有绘画经验,其中一名学生分享了深刻的成就感。设空处和空前的some of构成“代词+of+关系代词(which/whom)”的结构,引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The students。故填whom。
9.incredibly 考查副词。这里是“find+宾语+宾补”结构,“ 9 (incredible) rewarding”作宾补,设空处修饰形容词rewarding,应用副词,故填incredibly,意为“极其”。
10.aiming 考查现在分词。句意:副校长表示,学校将继续开发鼓励文化欣赏的课程,力求培养学生的信心和抱负。本句已有谓语,所以设空处应填非谓语动词,aim与其逻辑主语(the school)之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词。故填aiming。
Ⅲ.语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术活动这种现象和艺术的重要性,最后作者表明艺术应该是生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。
1.C 主旨大意题。第一段提到,根据美国艺术协会的说法,超过三分之二的美国成年人说艺术“让我超越了日常经历”。但在2017年,只有30%的人参加了任意类型的音乐会;23%的人参观了艺术博物馆;6%的人参加了文学活动。只有不到一半的人积极创作任意形式的艺术。由此可知,第一段主要讲的是就艺术而言,人们的价值观和行为之间不匹配。故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake.”可知,艺术让位于现实生活的物质追求是错误的想法。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture.”并结合选项可推断,作者在第五段想表达的是艺术使生活更充实、更快乐。故选D。
4.A 主旨大意题。
根据文章结构可知,文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术活动这种现象和艺术的重要性,所以艺术应该是生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。由此可知,A项最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。
Ⅳ.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两种艺术形式——现实主义艺术和抽象派艺术各自的特点。
1.E 过渡句。设空处与上下文构成的语意结构为:现实主义艺术涉及对细节的密切关注,使事物看起来像照片一样。→ 1 →它更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。结合常识可知,表达感觉、情感和想法的应该是抽象派艺术。E项“相比之下,抽象派艺术较少关注现实的外观”承上启下,“In contrast”可与上文构成对比关系,上下文衔接紧密。故选E。
2.F 过渡句。设空处与上下文构成的语意结构为:以《蒙娜丽莎》为例,这是一幅现实主义画,画的是一位带着神秘微笑的女士。→ 2 →帮助我们了解过去。F项“像这样的艺术作品讲述了历史和日常生活的故事”承上启下,符合语境,F项中的“this”指代上文中的“Mona Lisa”。故选F。
3.G 细节句。设空处上一句提到,与现实主义艺术不同,抽象派艺术更注重创造性。G项“艺术家有超越现实生活表现的自由”承接上文,继续说明抽象派艺术与现实主义艺术的不同,符合语境。故选G。
4.A 主旨句。设空处位于段首,应该是本段的主旨句。本段讲到,现实主义艺术需要精确地绘画或雕刻,使事物看起来真实;抽象派艺术需要想象力,以新的方式使用形状和颜色。由此可知,本段讲的核心内容是两种艺术各自需要的技巧和艺术家们对两种艺术的应用。A项“这两种类型的艺术都需要技巧”是对本段内容的概括总结。故选A。
5.D 细节句。设空处上一句提到,这两种艺术共同使艺术世界多样化和引人入胜。D项“两种艺术的创作方式有着各自的价值和美”承接上文,是对上文的补充说明。故选D。

背景
Mary在教学生们画风景,他们有着不同的性格和绘画态度。
开端
Mary指导学生画风景,她发现Akila对画画不感兴趣,而Tina的画天马行空,遭到同学们的嘲笑。
发展
Mary课后与Tina交流,了解到Tina的想法,开始反思自己的教学方式是否扼杀了学生的创造力,第二天Mary决定开展无规则的集体创作项目以鼓励学生自由创作。
Para. 1
当学生们画画时,Mary好奇地观察着他们。
结合文章内容可知,第一段应主要描写Akila和Tina的表现,以凸显Mary设计的新项目对学生们的影响。
①Akila是否有新的举动,她对绘画的态度有何转变?
②Tina又是如何发挥她的创造力的?
③其他学生的表现如何?
Para. 2
Mary往后退,打量着这幅作品。
①学生们完成的画作看起来效果怎么样?
②Mary有何感悟?
③学生们对完成的作品有何反应?
One possible version:
As the students worked,Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was then blending them together to create an amazing sky filled with fantastical creatures. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding unusual details to her garden, where flowers wore hats and creatures rested in the trees topped with ice cream cones. Mary felt a wave of relief washing over her. Other students also exchanged ideas and inspired one another. The whole classroom was alive with chatter and laughter, which never occurred before, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared.
Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enormous paper had been transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student's imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their collective effort and wisdom. Overwhelmed with pride and delight, she realized that letting go of rigid structures allowed her students to create unrealistic but dreamlike paintings. Seeing their masterpiece, Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class were more than thrilled. “It was the best ever painting!” they cheered, their eyes sparkling with excitement. 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.
