五、阅读理解
(24-25高二上·安徽马鞍山·期末)At Cleveland Bridge, in Bath, a long line of traffic is building up. Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.
Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are valued and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are contradicting attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员) “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”
Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants—and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5,000 of Bath’s buildings—nearly 10% of the total—are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.
Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but take up 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.
Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17th-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently relieved of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.
All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms. Hobhouse.
1.What problem does Bath face?
A.It is getting more and more crowded due to the maintenance work underway.
B.Its housing stock with a long history are being altered without authorization.
C.Its historical significance makes it hard to be reformed into an eco-friendly city.
D.Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 is greeted with doubt from its citizens.
2.The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) is intended to _________.
A.highlight the long history of Bath’s building complex
B.show the low energy efficiency of the historic buildings
C.illustrate the delicate features that Bath’s buildings share
D.challenge the validity and credibility of the A-G scale
3.Why was Joanna Wright removed from her position?
A.She proposed the North Road not be accessible to the public.
B.She failed to solve the conflict between transport and heritage.
C.She stood right in the way of the heritage preservation efforts.
D.She struggled to get authorized to dig up those old pavements.
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Wera Hobhouse keeps a balance between public benefit and heritage protection.
B.Traditional buildings in Bath are not available to visitors not having permits.
C.Bath has been setting the pace for the construction of a carbon-neutral city.
D.Local people in Bath used to favor heritage conservation over sustainability.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了巴斯的历史建筑遗产与气候之间产生冲突,在保护遗产资源的同时,应采取方法应对气候的紧急情况。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.(修复工作将使大桥关闭数月,在这个空气质量已经令人担忧的城市造成更大的堵塞和更多的污染)”和第二段“Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are prized and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are clashing with attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员)(巴斯是该国大部分地区面临权衡取舍的一个极端例子。英国拥有欧洲最古老的房屋,五分之一的房屋超过了100年。时代特征受到重视,通常受到法律保护。然而,随着减少碳排放的努力加强,它们与保护遗产的努力发生了冲突。巴斯的国会议员维拉·霍布豪斯说,这是一种“微妙的平衡”)”可知,巴斯的历史意义使得它很难改造成一个生态友好型城市。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段“Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but account for 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity.(巴斯格鲁吉亚建筑的许多特点使其如此精致,也使其存在漏洞。根据一个慈善机构,可持续能源中心的数据,传统建筑占巴斯住房存量的30%,但占国内碳排放量的40%)”可知,传统建筑只占总住房存量的30%,但是碳排放量却高达40%,句中的百分比被提及的目的是为了展示历史建筑的低能效。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段“Bath’s 17t-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently booted out of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.(巴斯17世纪的街道没有自行车道。乔安娜·赖特最近被解除了巴斯大学气候主管的职务,因为她提议,通往该大学的北路应该禁止交通。两年内,她无法在街上安装任何电动汽车充电点,部分原因是获得挖掘旧路面的许可的“噩梦”)”可知,乔安娜·赖特无法获得挖掘旧路面的许可,未能成功挖掘旧的人行道,未提及她成功修建自行车道,她无法在街上安装电动汽车充电点,自然也就不能从街道上拆除充电点,可推测乔安娜·赖特没能解决交通和遗产之间的冲突,因此被解除了职务。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17t-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently booted out of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.(交通运输是另一个气候和传统发生冲突的领域。巴斯17世纪的街道缺乏自行车道的空间。最近,乔安娜·赖特(Joanna Wright)因提议关闭通往巴斯大学的北路(North Road)而被免去了巴斯大学气候变化负责人的职务。在两年的时间里,她无法在街道上安装任何电动汽车充电点,部分原因是要获得许可挖掘旧人行道的“噩梦”。)”以及最后一段“All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability.( 所有这些都意味着,到2030年实现碳中和看起来很难,但这座城市至少开始做出妥协。今年3月,它在伦敦以外推出了首个“清洁空气区”,向进入巴斯市中心的司机收费。一项试验已使160辆电动摩托车可供租用。而且当地的观点似乎正在转向支持可持续发展。)”可知,巴斯的当地人过去更喜欢遗产而不是可持续性。故选D项。
六、七选五
(24-25高二下·福建福州·期中)Art has always been a mirror reflecting human culture. From ancient cave paintings to digital works, it carries emotions, records history, and challenges perspectives. 1 Let’s explore how different art forms shape our world.
2 Van Gogh’s swirling stars in The Starry Night, for instance, translate inner disturbance into visible beauty, while Picasso’s Guernica uses twisted shapes to show the pain of war. Meanwhile, modern street art transforms urban spaces into open galleries, proving art isn’t limited to museums.
Performance art demands physical presence from both creators and viewers. 3 A dancer’s leap or an actor’s speech creates instant emotional connections with audiences. This live connection makes performance art good for discussing social issues, like plays about fairness between different groups.
Literature, however, lives through imagination. 4 When reading Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we don’t see detailed stage designs, yet vivid scenes form in our minds — the dark castle or Hamlet’s troubled face. This mental co-creation between writer and reader is literature’s unique magic.
The educational value of art is increasingly recognized in schools worldwide. Studies show students engaged in arts develop better critical thinking and care more about others’ feelings. Beyond personal growth, public art projects can unite communities. 5
Art is not a luxury but a necessity. It questions, heals, and connects — making life deeper than mere existence and turning everyday life into something meaningful.
A.Unlike still visual arts, the form, such as theater, is based on live interaction.
B.Digital art combines traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology.
C.Every culture, regardless of its technological advancement, has artistic expressions.
D.Unlike visual arts, it requires us to actively construct meaning.
E.Music streaming platforms have made classical compositions more accessible.
F.A mural (壁画) painted collectively by neighborhood residents, for example, fosters shared identity and dialogue.
G.Visual arts like painting and sculpture allow us to “see” emotions.
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.A 4.D 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了艺术的不同形式以及作用。
1.根据上文“Art has always been a mirror reflecting human culture. From ancient cave paintings to digital works, it carries emotions, records history, and challenges perspectives.(艺术一直是反映人类文化的一面镜子。从古老的洞穴壁画到数字作品,它承载着情感,记录着历史,挑战着视角)”可知,上文提到从壁画到数字作品,艺术记录着历史,本句承接上文,说明艺术会随着技术进步而发现改变,故C选项“每一种文化,无论其技术进步如何,都有其艺术表现形式”符合语境,故选C。
2.根据后文“Van Gogh’s swirling stars in The Starry Night, for instance, translate inner disturbance into visible beauty, while Picasso’s Guernica uses twisted shapes to show the pain of war. Meanwhile, modern street art transforms urban spaces into open galleries, proving art isn’t limited to museums.(例如,梵高在《星夜》中旋转的星星将内心的不安转化为可见的美,而毕加索的《格尔尼卡》则用扭曲的形状来表现战争的痛苦。与此同时,现代街头艺术将城市空间变成了开放的画廊,证明了艺术并不局限于博物馆)”可知,本句作为本段主旨句,引出了视觉艺术能够将情感可视化的观点。故G选项“像绘画和雕塑这样的视觉艺术使我们能够‘看到’情感”符合语境,故选G。
3.根据上文“Performance art demands physical presence from both creators and viewers.(行为艺术要求创作者和观众都在场)”以及后文“A dancer’s leap or an actor’s speech creates instant emotional connections with audiences. This live connection makes performance art good for discussing social issues, like plays about fairness between different groups.(舞者的一跳或演员的演讲都能与观众产生即时的情感联系。这种现场联系使得行为艺术很适合讨论社会问题,比如关于不同群体之间公平的戏剧)”可知,上文强调了行为艺术的特点,本句进一步阐述了行为艺术(以戏剧为例)与静态视觉艺术的区别,突出了现场互动这一特点,与前文提到的行为艺术要求亲身在场以及后文所说的与观众建立即时情感联系的内容相契合。故A选项“与静止的视觉艺术不同,这种形式,比如戏剧,是基于现场互动的”符合语境,故选A。
4.根据上文“Literature, however, lives through imagination.(然而,文学存在于想象之中)”以及后文“When reading Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we don’t see detailed stage designs, yet vivid scenes form in our minds — the dark castle or Hamlet’s troubled face. This mental co-creation between writer and reader is literature’s unique magic.(当我们读莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》时,我们看不到详细的舞台设计,但生动的场景却在我们的脑海中形成——黑暗的城堡或哈姆雷特烦恼的脸。作者和读者之间的这种精神上的共同创造是文学的独特魔力)”可知,此处是在介绍文学和艺术的不同之处。故D选项“与视觉艺术不同,它需要我们主动建构意义”符合语境,故选D。
5.根据上文“The educational value of art is increasingly recognized in schools worldwide. Studies show students engaged in arts develop better critical thinking and care more about others’ feelings. Beyond personal growth, public art projects can unite communities.(世界各地的学校越来越认识到艺术的教育价值。研究表明,参与艺术活动的学生能培养出更好的批判性思维,也更关心他人的感受。除了个人成长,公共艺术项目还可以团结社区)”可知,上文提到了公共艺术项目在团结社区方面的作用,本句对此进行举例论述,支持公共艺术能团结社区的观点,即通过培养共同身份认同感和促进对话来实现。故F选项“例如,一幅由邻里居民集体绘制的壁画,促进了共同的身份认同和对话”符合语境,故选F。
七、完形填空
(25-26高二上·内蒙古赤峰·月考)Liam throws himself backwards into the corner of the sofa in the head teacher’s room, landing on his bottom, his legs briefly in the air. It’s an unconventional way to sit down, but the boy looks comfortable.
A child of 12 whose past behaviour has been so “ 1 ” that he has been excluded from four other schools is talking about learning, with enthusiasm and without rude words, to a visitor. Oh my, that’s good. Only the plastic cup being crunched (使发出嘎吱声) between his fingers 2 his nervousness. But that’s OK. The school can live with that.
Riverside Park High School is a special school. Most of its students, all boys, are known to the police, or have a reputation for being 3 , if not outright violent. What will happen to them? The conventional view is that as adults they will live on social welfare benefits and probably 4 in prison. The chances of them leading happy or fulfilled lives are regarded as 5 .
When Amelia Brooks arrived at Riverside Park, she was the fourth head in nine months. Aged 42, she was a former history teacher who recognised that 6 children with behavioral difficulties often pushed them into the criminal justice system. “My aim was to set up a school that reduced that 7 ,” she says.
First Brooks painted the blue walls a mixture of vibrant and calm colours. She got the boys to decorate the bathrooms so that they were a source of 8 rather than spaces associated with bullying. She kept a dog, Buddy, who is often the first point of contact for disturbed boys when they arrive in the school. These days the walls are filled with photographs of boys bonding together and playing sports.
But her biggest ideas have involved 9 the rulebook of school management. She developed a set of practices tailor-made to provide 10 support for the boys. If the school feels like an amiably (和蔼可亲的) unruly family, Brooks is definitely the matriarch (女家长).
“What we’re trying to do is build 11 with the children,” she says. “In this type of school there’s an opportunity for them to rebuild some of the trust that may have been lost.”
Long ago she replaced the curriculum with motivational study themes that are 12 to the boys and lead to vocational qualifications. There is a juice bar to encourage healthy eating, and a beauty and hairdressing salon to 13 the boys to have healthy physical contact with others.
I speak to a mother whose son has changed from a boy who swore and threw chairs, to one who won’t 14 a day of school. A boy gives Brooks a thumbs-up through the window in her door; when she first met him his hood always covered his face. As I leave, he teases a friend that he should give me a lift home. For a 16-year-old with a history of damage, that signals a(n) 15 change.

八、语法填空
(25-26高二上·陕西西安·期末)At the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia Hui autonomous region 1 (lie) a land that has stood silent for a thousand years. Nine towering earthen platforms rise before the mountains, surrounded by hundreds of satellite tombs scattered like stars.
Originally from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Tangut people during their migrations gradually absorbed cultural influences from other ethnic groups. This rich cultural exchange eventually led to the founding of the Xixia regime on the Yinchuan Plain, 2 diverse traditions met, mingled (交融) and slowly merged into 3 unique civilization.
Among the 4 (count) artifacts from the Western Xia imperial tombs, the Xixia gilt bronze bull, 5 its strong build, raised horns and powerful, flowing muscles, appears almost lifelike. This striking statue stands as a masterpiece of Xixia metalwork, 6 (reflect) both exceptional craftsmanship and the advanced civilization behind it.
Today, fragments (碎片) of stone inscriptions and coins bearing Tangut script 7 (unearth) from the imperial tombs serve as key sources for understanding Xixia history and culture. Though the Xixia regime has long disappeared, the Xixia Imperial Tombs remain standing as powerful testimony to unity in 8 (diverse) of Chinese civilization. They are a nationally protected cultural heritage site 9 included in the World Heritage List, marking a remarkable chapter in the story of human civilization. In recent years, advances in archaeology, digital preservation, and public education have brought people 10 (close) to the Xixia Imperial Tombs.
【答案】
1.lies 2.where 3.a 4.countless 5.with 6.reflecting 7.unearthed 8.diversity 9.and 10.closer
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了位于宁夏回族自治区贺兰山东麓的西夏王陵,包括其所处位置、历史背景(党项族迁徙与文化交融及西夏政权建立)、出土文物(西夏鎏金铜牛、带西夏文的石刻碎片和钱币等)的价值,以及西夏王陵作为文化遗产的地位和近年来考古等领域发展对其的影响。
1.考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意:在宁夏回族自治区贺兰山东麓,坐落着一片沉寂了千年的土地。此处为倒装句,主语是“a land”(单数名词),陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填lies。
2.考查定语从句。句意:这种丰富的文化交流最终促成了西夏政权在银川平原的建立,在这里,多样的传统相遇、交融,并逐渐融合成一种独特的文明。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the Yinchuan Plain”(表示地点),从句中缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
3.考查冠词。句意:这种丰富的文化交流最终促成了西夏政权在银川平原的建立,在这里,多样的传统相遇、交融,并逐渐融合成一种独特的文明。“civilization”此处为可数名词单数,表泛指“一种独特的文明”,且“unique”是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
4.考查形容词。句意:在西夏王陵出土的无数文物中,西夏鎏金铜牛身形健壮、犄角高耸、肌肉饱满有力,栩栩如生。此处修饰名词“artifacts”,需用形容词作定语;结合语境,表“无数的”,应用countless。故填countless。
5.考查介词。句意:在西夏王陵出土的无数文物中,西夏鎏金铜牛身形健壮、犄角高耸、肌肉饱满有力,栩栩如生。此处表示“具有……特征”,应用介词with,后接名词短语描述鎏金铜牛的外形特点。故填with。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:这件引人注目的雕像堪称西夏金属工艺的杰作,既体现了精湛的工艺,也彰显了其背后先进的文明。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语,“reflect”与逻辑主语“This striking statue”之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填reflecting。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,从王陵中出土的带有西夏文的石刻碎片和钱币,成为了解西夏历史文化的重要资料。此处为非谓语动词作定语,“unearth”与逻辑主语“fragments of stone inscriptions and coins”之间是被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填unearthed。
8.考查名词。句意:尽管西夏政权早已消失,但西夏王陵依然屹立,是中华文明多元一体的有力见证。此处位于介词“in”后,需用名词作宾语;“diverse”的名词形式是diversity,“unity in diversity”为固定表达,意为“多元一体”。故填diversity。
9.考查连词。句意:它是全国重点文物保护单位,且被列入《世界遗产名录》,在人类文明史上写下了浓墨重彩的一笔。“a nationally protected cultural heritage site”与“included in the World Heritage List”是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
10.考查副词比较级。句意:近年来,考古学、数字保护和公共教育的发展,让人们与西夏王陵的距离更近了。结合语境,此处暗含“与过去相比更近”的比较含义,应用副词比较级closer。故填closer。

(24-25高二上·安徽马鞍山·期末)At Cleveland Bridge, in Bath, a long line of traffic is building up. Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.
Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are valued and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are contradicting attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员) “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”
Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants—and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5,000 of Bath’s buildings—nearly 10% of the total—are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.
Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but take up 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.
Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17th-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently relieved of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.
All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms. Hobhouse.
1.What problem does Bath face?
A.It is getting more and more crowded due to the maintenance work underway.
B.Its housing stock with a long history are being altered without authorization.
C.Its historical significance makes it hard to be reformed into an eco-friendly city.
D.Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 is greeted with doubt from its citizens.
2.The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) is intended to _________.
A.highlight the long history of Bath’s building complex
B.show the low energy efficiency of the historic buildings
C.illustrate the delicate features that Bath’s buildings share
D.challenge the validity and credibility of the A-G scale
3.Why was Joanna Wright removed from her position?
A.She proposed the North Road not be accessible to the public.
B.She failed to solve the conflict between transport and heritage.
C.She stood right in the way of the heritage preservation efforts.
D.She struggled to get authorized to dig up those old pavements.
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Wera Hobhouse keeps a balance between public benefit and heritage protection.
B.Traditional buildings in Bath are not available to visitors not having permits.
C.Bath has been setting the pace for the construction of a carbon-neutral city.
D.Local people in Bath used to favor heritage conservation over sustainability.
六、七选五
(24-25高二下·福建福州·期中)Art has always been a mirror reflecting human culture. From ancient cave paintings to digital works, it carries emotions, records history, and challenges perspectives. 1 Let’s explore how different art forms shape our world.
2 Van Gogh’s swirling stars in The Starry Night, for instance, translate inner disturbance into visible beauty, while Picasso’s Guernica uses twisted shapes to show the pain of war. Meanwhile, modern street art transforms urban spaces into open galleries, proving art isn’t limited to museums.
Performance art demands physical presence from both creators and viewers. 3 A dancer’s leap or an actor’s speech creates instant emotional connections with audiences. This live connection makes performance art good for discussing social issues, like plays about fairness between different groups.
Literature, however, lives through imagination. 4 When reading Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we don’t see detailed stage designs, yet vivid scenes form in our minds — the dark castle or Hamlet’s troubled face. This mental co-creation between writer and reader is literature’s unique magic.
The educational value of art is increasingly recognized in schools worldwide. Studies show students engaged in arts develop better critical thinking and care more about others’ feelings. Beyond personal growth, public art projects can unite communities. 5
Art is not a luxury but a necessity. It questions, heals, and connects — making life deeper than mere existence and turning everyday life into something meaningful.
A.Unlike still visual arts, the form, such as theater, is based on live interaction.
B.Digital art combines traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology.
C.Every culture, regardless of its technological advancement, has artistic expressions.
D.Unlike visual arts, it requires us to actively construct meaning.
E.Music streaming platforms have made classical compositions more accessible.
F.A mural (壁画) painted collectively by neighborhood residents, for example, fosters shared identity and dialogue.
G.Visual arts like painting and sculpture allow us to “see” emotions.

(25-26高二上·内蒙古赤峰·月考)Liam throws himself backwards into the corner of the sofa in the head teacher’s room, landing on his bottom, his legs briefly in the air. It’s an unconventional way to sit down, but the boy looks comfortable.
A child of 12 whose past behaviour has been so “ 1 ” that he has been excluded from four other schools is talking about learning, with enthusiasm and without rude words, to a visitor. Oh my, that’s good. Only the plastic cup being crunched (使发出嘎吱声) between his fingers 2 his nervousness. But that’s OK. The school can live with that.
Riverside Park High School is a special school. Most of its students, all boys, are known to the police, or have a reputation for being 3 , if not outright violent. What will happen to them? The conventional view is that as adults they will live on social welfare benefits and probably 4 in prison. The chances of them leading happy or fulfilled lives are regarded as 5 .
When Amelia Brooks arrived at Riverside Park, she was the fourth head in nine months. Aged 42, she was a former history teacher who recognised that 6 children with behavioral difficulties often pushed them into the criminal justice system. “My aim was to set up a school that reduced that 7 ,” she says.
First Brooks painted the blue walls a mixture of vibrant and calm colours. She got the boys to decorate the bathrooms so that they were a source of 8 rather than spaces associated with bullying. She kept a dog, Buddy, who is often the first point of contact for disturbed boys when they arrive in the school. These days the walls are filled with photographs of boys bonding together and playing sports.
But her biggest ideas have involved 9 the rulebook of school management. She developed a set of practices tailor-made to provide 10 support for the boys. If the school feels like an amiably (和蔼可亲的) unruly family, Brooks is definitely the matriarch (女家长).
“What we’re trying to do is build 11 with the children,” she says. “In this type of school there’s an opportunity for them to rebuild some of the trust that may have been lost.”
Long ago she replaced the curriculum with motivational study themes that are 12 to the boys and lead to vocational qualifications. There is a juice bar to encourage healthy eating, and a beauty and hairdressing salon to 13 the boys to have healthy physical contact with others.
I speak to a mother whose son has changed from a boy who swore and threw chairs, to one who won’t 14 a day of school. A boy gives Brooks a thumbs-up through the window in her door; when she first met him his hood always covered his face. As I leave, he teases a friend that he should give me a lift home. For a 16-year-old with a history of damage, that signals a(n) 15 change.
1.A.inspiring B.challenging C.confusing D.surprising

(25-26高二上·陕西西安·期末)At the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia Hui autonomous region 1 (lie) a land that has stood silent for a thousand years. Nine towering earthen platforms rise before the mountains, surrounded by hundreds of satellite tombs scattered like stars.
Originally from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Tangut people during their migrations gradually absorbed cultural influences from other ethnic groups. This rich cultural exchange eventually led to the founding of the Xixia regime on the Yinchuan Plain, 2 diverse traditions met, mingled (交融) and slowly merged into 3 unique civilization.
Among the 4 (count) artifacts from the Western Xia imperial tombs, the Xixia gilt bronze bull, 5 its strong build, raised horns and powerful, flowing muscles, appears almost lifelike. This striking statue stands as a masterpiece of Xixia metalwork, 6 (reflect) both exceptional craftsmanship and the advanced civilization behind it.
Today, fragments (碎片) of stone inscriptions and coins bearing Tangut script 7 (unearth) from the imperial tombs serve as key sources for understanding Xixia history and culture. Though the Xixia regime has long disappeared, the Xixia Imperial Tombs remain standing as powerful testimony to unity in 8 (diverse) of Chinese civilization. They are a nationally protected cultural heritage site 9 included in the World Heritage List, marking a remarkable chapter in the story of human civilization. In recent years, advances in archaeology, digital preservation, and public education have brought people 10 (close) to the Xixia Imperial Tombs.

五、阅读理解
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了巴斯的历史建筑遗产与气候之间产生冲突,在保护遗产资源的同时,应采取方法应对气候的紧急情况。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.(修复工作将使大桥关闭数月,在这个空气质量已经令人担忧的城市造成更大的堵塞和更多的污染)”和第二段“Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are prized and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are clashing with attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员)(巴斯是该国大部分地区面临权衡取舍的一个极端例子。英国拥有欧洲最古老的房屋,五分之一的房屋超过了100年。时代特征受到重视,通常受到法律保护。然而,随着减少碳排放的努力加强,它们与保护遗产的努力发生了冲突。巴斯的国会议员维拉·霍布豪斯说,这是一种“微妙的平衡”)”可知,巴斯的历史意义使得它很难改造成一个生态友好型城市。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段“Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but account for 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity.(巴斯格鲁吉亚建筑的许多特点使其如此精致,也使其存在漏洞。根据一个慈善机构,可持续能源中心的数据,传统建筑占巴斯住房存量的30%,但占国内碳排放量的40%)”可知,传统建筑只占总住房存量的30%,但是碳排放量却高达40%,句中的百分比被提及的目的是为了展示历史建筑的低能效。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段“Bath’s 17t-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently booted out of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.(巴斯17世纪的街道没有自行车道。乔安娜·赖特最近被解除了巴斯大学气候主管的职务,因为她提议,通往该大学的北路应该禁止交通。两年内,她无法在街上安装任何电动汽车充电点,部分原因是获得挖掘旧路面的许可的“噩梦”)”可知,乔安娜·赖特无法获得挖掘旧路面的许可,未能成功挖掘旧的人行道,未提及她成功修建自行车道,她无法在街上安装电动汽车充电点,自然也就不能从街道上拆除充电点,可推测乔安娜·赖特没能解决交通和遗产之间的冲突,因此被解除了职务。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17t-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently booted out of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.(交通运输是另一个气候和传统发生冲突的领域。巴斯17世纪的街道缺乏自行车道的空间。最近,乔安娜·赖特(Joanna Wright)因提议关闭通往巴斯大学的北路(North Road)而被免去了巴斯大学气候变化负责人的职务。在两年的时间里,她无法在街道上安装任何电动汽车充电点,部分原因是要获得许可挖掘旧人行道的“噩梦”。)”以及最后一段“All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability.( 所有这些都意味着,到2030年实现碳中和看起来很难,但这座城市至少开始做出妥协。今年3月,它在伦敦以外推出了首个“清洁空气区”,向进入巴斯市中心的司机收费。一项试验已使160辆电动摩托车可供租用。而且当地的观点似乎正在转向支持可持续发展。)”可知,巴斯的当地人过去更喜欢遗产而不是可持续性。故选D项。
六、七选五
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.A 4.D 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了艺术的不同形式以及作用。
1.根据上文“Art has always been a mirror reflecting human culture. From ancient cave paintings to digital works, it carries emotions, records history, and challenges perspectives.(艺术一直是反映人类文化的一面镜子。从古老的洞穴壁画到数字作品,它承载着情感,记录着历史,挑战着视角)”可知,上文提到从壁画到数字作品,艺术记录着历史,本句承接上文,说明艺术会随着技术进步而发现改变,故C选项“每一种文化,无论其技术进步如何,都有其艺术表现形式”符合语境,故选C。
2.根据后文“Van Gogh’s swirling stars in The Starry Night, for instance, translate inner disturbance into visible beauty, while Picasso’s Guernica uses twisted shapes to show the pain of war. Meanwhile, modern street art transforms urban spaces into open galleries, proving art isn’t limited to museums.(例如,梵高在《星夜》中旋转的星星将内心的不安转化为可见的美,而毕加索的《格尔尼卡》则用扭曲的形状来表现战争的痛苦。与此同时,现代街头艺术将城市空间变成了开放的画廊,证明了艺术并不局限于博物馆)”可知,本句作为本段主旨句,引出了视觉艺术能够将情感可视化的观点。故G选项“像绘画和雕塑这样的视觉艺术使我们能够‘看到’情感”符合语境,故选G。
3.根据上文“Performance art demands physical presence from both creators and viewers.(行为艺术要求创作者和观众都在场)”以及后文“A dancer’s leap or an actor’s speech creates instant emotional connections with audiences. This live connection makes performance art good for discussing social issues, like plays about fairness between different groups.(舞者的一跳或演员的演讲都能与观众产生即时的情感联系。这种现场联系使得行为艺术很适合讨论社会问题,比如关于不同群体之间公平的戏剧)”可知,上文强调了行为艺术的特点,本句进一步阐述了行为艺术(以戏剧为例)与静态视觉艺术的区别,突出了现场互动这一特点,与前文提到的行为艺术要求亲身在场以及后文所说的与观众建立即时情感联系的内容相契合。故A选项“与静止的视觉艺术不同,这种形式,比如戏剧,是基于现场互动的”符合语境,故选A。
4.根据上文“Literature, however, lives through imagination.(然而,文学存在于想象之中)”以及后文“When reading Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we don’t see detailed stage designs, yet vivid scenes form in our minds — the dark castle or Hamlet’s troubled face. This mental co-creation between writer and reader is literature’s unique magic.(当我们读莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》时,我们看不到详细的舞台设计,但生动的场景却在我们的脑海中形成——黑暗的城堡或哈姆雷特烦恼的脸。作者和读者之间的这种精神上的共同创造是文学的独特魔力)”可知,此处是在介绍文学和艺术的不同之处。故D选项“与视觉艺术不同,它需要我们主动建构意义”符合语境,故选D。
5.根据上文“The educational value of art is increasingly recognized in schools worldwide. Studies show students engaged in arts develop better critical thinking and care more about others’ feelings. Beyond personal growth, public art projects can unite communities.(世界各地的学校越来越认识到艺术的教育价值。研究表明,参与艺术活动的学生能培养出更好的批判性思维,也更关心他人的感受。除了个人成长,公共艺术项目还可以团结社区)”可知,上文提到了公共艺术项目在团结社区方面的作用,本句对此进行举例论述,支持公共艺术能团结社区的观点,即通过培养共同身份认同感和促进对话来实现。故F选项“例如,一幅由邻里居民集体绘制的壁画,促进了共同的身份认同和对话”符合语境,故选F。

八、语法填空
【答案】
1.lies 2.where 3.a 4.countless 5.with 6.reflecting 7.unearthed 8.diversity 9.and 10.closer
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了位于宁夏回族自治区贺兰山东麓的西夏王陵,包括其所处位置、历史背景(党项族迁徙与文化交融及西夏政权建立)、出土文物(西夏鎏金铜牛、带西夏文的石刻碎片和钱币等)的价值,以及西夏王陵作为文化遗产的地位和近年来考古等领域发展对其的影响。
1.考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意:在宁夏回族自治区贺兰山东麓,坐落着一片沉寂了千年的土地。此处为倒装句,主语是“a land”(单数名词),陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填lies。
2.考查定语从句。句意:这种丰富的文化交流最终促成了西夏政权在银川平原的建立,在这里,多样的传统相遇、交融,并逐渐融合成一种独特的文明。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the Yinchuan Plain”(表示地点),从句中缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
3.考查冠词。句意:这种丰富的文化交流最终促成了西夏政权在银川平原的建立,在这里,多样的传统相遇、交融,并逐渐融合成一种独特的文明。“civilization”此处为可数名词单数,表泛指“一种独特的文明”,且“unique”是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
4.考查形容词。句意:在西夏王陵出土的无数文物中,西夏鎏金铜牛身形健壮、犄角高耸、肌肉饱满有力,栩栩如生。此处修饰名词“artifacts”,需用形容词作定语;结合语境,表“无数的”,应用countless。故填countless。
5.考查介词。句意:在西夏王陵出土的无数文物中,西夏鎏金铜牛身形健壮、犄角高耸、肌肉饱满有力,栩栩如生。此处表示“具有……特征”,应用介词with,后接名词短语描述鎏金铜牛的外形特点。故填with。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:这件引人注目的雕像堪称西夏金属工艺的杰作,既体现了精湛的工艺,也彰显了其背后先进的文明。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语,“reflect”与逻辑主语“This striking statue”之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填reflecting。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,从王陵中出土的带有西夏文的石刻碎片和钱币,成为了解西夏历史文化的重要资料。此处为非谓语动词作定语,“unearth”与逻辑主语“fragments of stone inscriptions and coins”之间是被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填unearthed。
8.考查名词。句意:尽管西夏政权早已消失,但西夏王陵依然屹立,是中华文明多元一体的有力见证。此处位于介词“in”后,需用名词作宾语;“diverse”的名词形式是diversity,“unity in diversity”为固定表达,意为“多元一体”。故填diversity。
9.考查连词。句意:它是全国重点文物保护单位,且被列入《世界遗产名录》,在人类文明史上写下了浓墨重彩的一笔。“a nationally protected cultural heritage site”与“included in the World Heritage List”是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
10.考查副词比较级。句意:近年来,考古学、数字保护和公共教育的发展,让人们与西夏王陵的距离更近了。结合语境,此处暗含“与过去相比更近”的比较含义,应用副词比较级closer。故填closer。
