It helps them learn something that they will need later. They will become better at remembering things, and they can learn more words. Online, they can find many different things to read. They can find the latest information fast. However, books are still better. They are easier to pay attention (关注) to. Teenagers understand and remember more from them. Also, reading books helps teenagers stay away from social media. Using social media too much can bring stress (压力). Parents can help their kids read books more often.

Creating art heals (治愈) not only the mind and spirit but also 40 body. When you draw or paint, your breathing slows, your blood pressure lowers, 41 your mind lets go of daily problems. It not only relaxes you but also brings a feeling of joy. Making art also allows you 42 (play) and try out new materials and ways. It also lets you 43 (express) pleasure by seeing beauty where others may not. Creating art provides (提供) you with a special chance to express your anger or upset, as well as your personal ideas. Although the process (过程) of making art is 44 (important) part of all, your finished product is important, too. Your painting or drawing will remind you of the lessons you learned while making it, and you may 45 (surprise) feel energetic just by looking at it. If you don’t know how to begin, here are some ways to start creating art. If possible, prepare a small table with your brushes and watercolours. So you can draw or paint whenever you get inspiration (灵感). Without 46 (think) much about it, just choose colours that you like and start painting with 47 (they). Enjoying the colours and working on the colours 48 (give) you something happy instead of the stresses of your daily life. 【答案】 39．into 40．the 41．and 42．to play 43．express 44．the most important 45．surprisingly 46．thinking 47．them 48．gives/will give 【解析】本文主要介绍了艺术创作作为一种爱好，如何帮助人们缓解压力、治愈身心，并提供了一些开始艺术创作的具体建议。 39．句意：如果你不是艺术家，现在正是培养绘画之类爱好的好时机。根据“It is never too late to start.”可知，此处指现在是开始一项爱好的时候了。get into是固定短语，意为“开始从事”，常用于表示开始一项新的爱好或活动。故填into。 40．句意：创作艺术不仅能治愈心灵与精神，还能治愈身体。根据“not only the mind and spirit but also…body”可知，此处是not only…but also…结构，意为“不仅……而且……”，连接并列成分。前文用了“the mind and spirit”，后文对应应为“the body”，特指人的身体。故填the。 41．句意：当你画画时，你的呼吸会放缓，血压会降低，大脑也会放下日常的烦恼。根据“your breathing slows, your blood pressure lowers, …your mind lets go of daily problems”可知，这三个分句是并列关系，描述画画时的身心变化，应用连词and连接。故填and。 42．句意：创作艺术还能让你尽情尝试，体验新的材料与创作方式。根据“Making art also allows you…”可知，allow sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“允许某人做某事”。故填to play。 43．句意：它还能让你在别人可能看不到美的地方发现美，并表达愉悦之情。根据“It also lets you…pleasure”可知，let sb. do sth.是固定搭配，意为“让某人做某事”，后接省略to的不定式（动词原形）。故填express。 44．句意：尽管创作艺术的过程是所有环节中最重要的部分，但你完成的作品也同样重要。根据“…part of all”可知，of all是最高级的标志词，表示在所有部分中……最重要的。important是多音节形容词，其最高级为the most important。故填the most important。 45．句意：你的画作会让你想起创作时学到的道理，仅仅看着它，你可能就会惊讶地感到精力充沛。根据“you may…feel energetic”可知，此处修饰动词短语feel energetic，应用副词形式。surprise的副词是surprisingly，意为“令人惊讶地”。故填surprisingly。 46．句意：不用想太多，只要选择你喜欢的颜色，然后用它们开始画画就好。根据“Without…much about it”可知，without是介词，后接动名词形式。故填thinking。 47．句意：不用想太多，只要选择你喜欢的颜色，然后用它们开始画画就好。根据“start painting with…”可知，with是介词，后接人称代词宾格形式。they的宾格是them，指代前文提到的colours。故填them。 48．句意：沉浸在色彩中、与色彩互动，会给你带来快乐，取代日常生活中的压力。根据“Enjoying the colours and working on the colours…you something happy”可知，动名词短语Enjoying the colours and working on the colours作主语，表示进行艺术创作时的同一过程或整体体验。谓语动词应用单数形式。句子描述的是一般性事实或将来可能发生的结果，可用一般现在时gives，或一般将来时will give。故填gives/will give。 五、书面表达（25分） 爱好对我们意义重大。假如你是李华，你的美国笔友 Mary给你写了一封邮件想要了解你的爱好。请你根据以下提示信息，用英文给她回复一封词数100左右的邮件，向她介绍你的爱好。 提示问题: 1.
