Walk into fire in the Danakil Depression In Ethiopia’s Danakil Depression, daytime temperatures can reach 40℃. So, leave at night and reach Erta Ale Volcano just as the sun rises. When the volcano erupts high in the soft light, it is a “spiritual moment”! Hunt clouds in Da Lat In the highlands of central Vietnam, mornings belong to the clouds. Before sunrise, hikers climb 4,921 feet above sea level in Da Lat to see the peaks floating like islands in a sea of clouds. People who live here call it “cloud hunting”. Once a local secret, cloud hunting has become a must for travelers. Da Lat’s clouds are especially beautiful in the cold morning air. For an hour, the earth feels suspended between heaven and ground. Witness the birth of Parmigiano Reggiano in Emilia-Romagna In Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, Parmigiano Reggiano begins early in the morning because it must: The fresh milk is “alive” and cannot wait. It is during these morning stages that the cheese-maker’s craftsmanship becomes an art. If you go to a farm at first light, you will be taken on a sensory and cultural journey to witness the traditional cheese-making process and taste Parmigiano Reggiano directly in the aging rooms — an experience that no other similar product can offer. Marvel at the Guérande salt marshes in Brittany Morning is the best time to see the Guérande salt marshes in Brittany, France, when they glow with light and water. Guérande salt is more than a product. It shapes the landscape, sustains families, and is the region’s identity. Salt workers still use centuries-old techniques — no machines, no chemicals, just carefully guiding water through canals to harvest salt. 1. When are tourists advised to leave for Erta Ale Volcano? A. At noon. B. At night. C. In the afternoon. D. Early in the morning. 2. What can visitors do in Da Lat? A. Enjoy beaches. B. Hunt wild animals. C. Climb mountains. D. Visit ancient villages. 3. Which of the following probably best describes Parmigiano Reggiano and the Guérande salt? A. They use similar old techniques. B. They have to be processed in the morning. C. They are well-known local food. D. They are produced in traditional methods. B It’s rush hour on Friday evening in Sylvan Grove, Kansas. The street is mostly empty. But Fly Boy is filling up. Many of the customers are from neighboring towns for a steak or a cheeseburger here. On Fly Boy’s busiest nights, it serves 300 people, more than the entire population of Sylvan Grove. “Our menu is unusual for a steakhouse or pub,” says Grant Wagner, owner of the restaurant. “We have an interesting selection of beers that are made on-site. All the cuts of meat are slow-cooked before they’re finished on a grill or super-hot oven. Most importantly, we’ve got 100% local beef, and a lot of our produce is coming from within 60 miles.” “We eat here as often as we can,” says Sandy Labertew, a customer from a neighboring town. “We want to do as much as we can to keep the restaurant open here.” Like thousands of other small towns, Sylvan Grove was built around agriculture to supply big families running lots of small farms in the area. There was a railway station here where the grain went out and money came in. Those days are long gone. Now, the families are small, and the big farms are increasingly owned by people living in distant cities. The railroad has been abandoned years before. Since 1880, the town has lost 65% of its population. “It is tough to make a living out here,” admits Wagner. “And it is not a suitable place to run a restaurant.” Wagner grew up in Sylvan Grove. Like many ambitious rural kids, he left the town after high school. Having graduated from a culinary school, he worked his way up through some of the best restaurants in a big Kansas city, where customers might spend $2 — 300 on dinner. “I couldn’t relate to the people that I was cooking the food for, and cooking is a passion project,” says Wagner. “So I started my own business here three years ago.” Wagner’s success shows that there are still ways for creative young people to make a living in small towns and that rural people will reward high standards, even if it means paying $16 for a cheeseburger. 4. What does Grant Wagner want to stress in paragraph 2? A. The quality of the food. B. The convenience of transportation. C. The availability of materials. D. The difficulty in attracting customers. 5. Why does Sandy Labertew eat regularly at Fly Boy? A. She thinks that its food is relatively cheap. B She tries to sell her produce to this restaurant. C. She wants to show her support for the restaurant. D. She lives just a few blocks away from the restaurant. 6. What can we know about Sylvan Grove? A. It is accessible by high-speed trains. B. It is a rural area with few opportunities. C. It is home to a famous culinary school. D. It is a big town with a growing population. 7. What can be learned from Grant Wagner’s words? A. It is easier to succeed in a small town. B. Life was hard for old people in the US. C. He could not find a job in the Kansas city. D. He puts his own passion before profit. C The invention of the stethoscope is widely credited to the 19th-century French doctor Rene Laënnec. Before the invention, doctors often placed their ear directly on a patient’s chest to listen for abnormalities in breathing and heart sounds. In 1816, a young lady suffering from heart disease went to see Laënnec. Placing his ear on her chest, however, was considered socially inappropriate. Inspired by children sending sounds through a long wooden stick outside his office, Laënnec instead rolled a sheet of paper to listen to her heart. He was surprised by the clear heart sounds he heard, and the first stethoscope was born. Over the next decades, researchers made some important improvements. Firstly, a thin film called a diaphragm was added to amplify the slight sound that might be very hard for ears to detect. The next major breakthrough occurred in the mid-1850s, when Arthur Leared and George Philip Cammann developed the so-called binaural stethoscope, which is remarkably similar to the stethoscopes doctors use today: It had separate earpieces connected by two flexible tubes to deliver sounds to both ears and reduce outside noise. However, listening with human ears has limitations. Abnormal sounds often emerge only at advanced stages, when treatment is less effective. Moreover, different diseases may produce similar sounds, making accurate diagnosis (诊断) extremely difficult. To address these challenges, researchers are now combining stethoscopes with artificial intelligence (AI). First, they record sounds from the stethoscope and then turn the sounds into electronic signals that can be stored and analyzed by AI models. The result seems to be promising. Some well-trained AI models can classify heart sounds correctly over 95% of the time and can even differentiate between types of heart disease with nearly 85% accuracy. Most importantly, a few of them are able to detect heart and lung problems at early stages. 8. Why did Rene Laënnec use a rolled sheet of paper to listen to his patient’s heart? A. To copy those children. B. To avoid embarrassment. C. To amuse the young lady. D. To test his new discovery. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 2? A. Strengthen. B. Reduce. C. Deliver. D. Hide. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Effects of timely treatment. B. Challenges of early diagnosis. C. Limitations of stethoscopes. D. Great potentials of AI models. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To demonstrate how AI models are trained. B. To explain what the binaural stethoscope is. C. To tell the stethoscopes’ major developments. D. To show the stethoscopes’ working principles. D That art can lift spirit is well known, while that it calms the body is novel. However, there is growing evidence to support that opinion. Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists — Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet and Gauguin — in the gallery. The results were clear: Appreciating artistic beauty helped them escape the “mental trappings of daily life”. This experiment followed a study published last year by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to quantify the improvements of physical and mental health by taking part in creative activities, as well as the economic gain — estimated to be an average of £1,000 per person a year, as a result of improved work productivity and fewer trips to the hospital. And for the first time in its 202-year history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showing how going to art galleries could relieve stress and cut heart disease risk, as well as boost the immune system. “When you experience an artwork, you don’t just see it, but you feel it,” art historian Katy Hessel writes in her new book How to Live an Artful Life. “The best thing we can do is take time with it.” Time, of course, is what we are lacking in the modern world. But this seems to be key to art’s healing powers. Galleries are quiet places where we can deeply engage with a work of art. As Katy Hessel writes, “Deep engagement leads to psychological distancing—seeing the bigger picture. It enables us to see and take pleasure in what is not ourselves. For example, when we come face to face with the details in Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait With Bandaged Ear, we may feel the pain behind them.” Against a backdrop of funding crisis in the UK, these studies show the need for greater investment in the creative sector. Art is vital not only to the nation’s economy, but to its health. We hope that doctors will soon be prescribing (开处方) what the team behind the Cambridge study called a “cultural workout” for the body. 12. What message does the author want to convey in the second paragraph? A. Art plays a positive role in public health. B. Art can increase people’s average income. C. Galleries are required to reduce heart disease risk. D. Galleries should collect post-impressionists’ masterworks. 13. How does the author of this text present his opinion in paragraph 4? A. By conducting surveys. B. By quoting an author. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving examples. 14. How does the author feel about the creative sector in the UK? A. Satisfied. B. Unconcerned. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Time Is Key to Benefiting From Art’s Healing Powers B. The Creative Sector in the UK Is Facing a Funding Crisis C. Cambridge Psychologists Find That Art Calms the Body D. “Cultural Workout” Facilities Should Get More Investment 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。 Wellness means different things.

In 2019, a series of devastating developments, including separation with his wife and the early death of a close family member, left James Keppel floored.

To escape the unbearable heat, a friend and I decided to take a trip out of the city. Aboard the crowded train, an old man stepped into our car. His clothes were worn but very neat. With a warm smile, he tipped his cap and greeted everyone with a cheerful “Good morning, folk.” Once the passengers had settled and the train began to move, he lifted a flute to his lips and started to play. The music was really beautiful. Yet, most people were concentrating on their phone. Ignored by his mother who was scrolling intently, a little boy, who sat across from me, seemed very unhappy. I had grown used to people asking for money on public transport. Usually, I would ignore them, like most of the passengers did. This old man, however, was different. He seemed completely lost in his music, never pausing to ask for anything. He would occasionally stop playing to steady himself, yet no one made a move to offer him any coins. The second song he played happened to be my favorite childhood tune, I’ll Be Your Friend. As I listened to the music, I found myself singing along softly. When the old man was approaching, I reached for my wallet, took out a twenty-dollar bill, and rolled it tightly in my hand. “I want to give him a gift,” I told myself, waiting for him to draw nearer. “He deserves it for such beautiful music.” Now he was closer, and I could see him more clearly. He was tall and thin, and his face was carved with the lines of a hard life. Yet, he carried himself with a quiet dignity, standing straight and proud. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I slipped the rolled bill into his hand, the old man seemed very surprised. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I sang along with the old man, the other passengers looked up from their phones. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年高三核心模拟卷（中） 英语（二） 注意事项： 1. 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节。（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

(日出前，徒步旅行者会在大叻攀登至海拔4921英尺的高处，欣赏如岛屿般漂浮在云海中的山峰。)”可知，游客在大叻可以进行登山活动，欣赏山间云海的美景。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容“If you go to a farm at first light, you will be taken on a sensory and cultural journey to witness the traditional cheese-making process (如果你在破晓时分前往农场，就能开启一场感官与文化之旅，亲眼见证传统的奶酪制作过程)”，以及第五段内容“Salt workers still use centuries-old techniques — no machines, no chemicals, just carefully guiding water through canals to harvest salt. (盐工们仍然使用数百年前的工艺——不用机器，不加化学物质，只是小心地引导水流穿过运河来收获食盐。)”可知，帕玛森-雷吉亚诺奶酪和盖朗德盐的共同特点是，二者都是以传统的方式制作生产的。故选D。 B It’s rush hour on Friday evening in Sylvan Grove, Kansas. The street is mostly empty. But Fly Boy is filling up. Many of the customers are from neighboring towns for a steak or a cheeseburger here. On Fly Boy’s busiest nights, it serves 300 people, more than the entire population of Sylvan Grove. “Our menu is unusual for a steakhouse or pub,” says Grant Wagner, owner of the restaurant. “We have an interesting selection of beers that are made on-site. All the cuts of meat are slow-cooked before they’re finished on a grill or super-hot oven. Most importantly, we’ve got 100% local beef, and a lot of our produce is coming from within 60 miles.” “We eat here as often as we can,” says Sandy Labertew, a customer from a neighboring town. “We want to do as much as we can to keep the restaurant open here.” Like thousands of other small towns, Sylvan Grove was built around agriculture to supply big families running lots of small farms in the area. There was a railway station here where the grain went out and money came in. Those days are long gone. Now, the families are small, and the big farms are increasingly owned by people living in distant cities. The railroad has been abandoned years before. Since 1880, the town has lost 65% of its population. “It is tough to make a living out here,” admits Wagner. “And it is not a suitable place to run a restaurant.” Wagner grew up in Sylvan Grove. Like many ambitious rural kids, he left the town after high school. Having graduated from a culinary school, he worked his way up through some of the best restaurants in a big Kansas city, where customers might spend $2 — 300 on dinner. “I couldn’t relate to the people that I was cooking the food for, and cooking is a passion project,” says Wagner. “So I started my own business here three years ago.” Wagner’s success shows that there are still ways for creative young people to make a living in small towns and that rural people will reward high standards, even if it means paying $16 for a cheeseburger. 4. What does Grant Wagner want to stress in paragraph 2? A. The quality of the food. B. The convenience of transportation. C. The availability of materials. D. The difficulty in attracting customers. 5. Why does Sandy Labertew eat regularly at Fly Boy? A. She thinks that its food is relatively cheap. B. She tries to sell her produce to this restaurant. C. She wants to show her support for the restaurant. D. She lives just a few blocks away from the restaurant. 6. What can we know about Sylvan Grove? A. It is accessible by high-speed trains. B. It is a rural area with few opportunities. C. It is home to a famous culinary school. D. It is a big town with a growing population. 7. What can be learned from Grant Wagner’s words? A. It is easier to succeed in a small town. B. Life was hard for old people in the US. C. He could not find a job in the Kansas city. D. He puts his own passion before profit. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了美国农村青年Grant Wagner返乡创业的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Our menu is unusual for a steakhouse or pub,” says Grant Wagner, owner of the restaurant. “We have an interesting selection of beers that are made on-site. All the cuts of meat are slow-cooked before they’re finished on a grill or super-hot oven. Most importantly, we’ve got 100% local beef, and a lot of our produce is coming from within 60 miles.”(“我们的菜单在牛排馆或酒吧里算是很特别的，”餐厅老板Grant Wagner说，“我们有多种自家酿造的特色啤酒。所有肉块都会先慢煮，再放到烤架或超高温烤箱里完成烹制。最重要的是，我们用的是100%本地牛肉，而且很多农产品都产自方圆60英里以内。”)”可知，Grant Wagner提到自己餐馆的选料标准和烹饪方法：自家酿啤酒、慢煮工艺、100%本地牛肉、本地食材等，由此可推断，Grant Wagner是想强调菜肴的品质。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““We eat here as often as we can,” says Sandy Labertew, a customer from a neighboring town. “We want to do as much as we can to keep the restaurant open here.”(“我们尽可能经常来这里用餐，”来自邻镇的顾客Sandy Labertew说，“我们想尽自己所能，让这家餐厅能一直开下去。”)”可知，Sandy Labertew希望尽力帮助这家餐馆，让它能继续经营。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Like thousands of other small towns, Sylvan Grove was built around agriculture to supply big families running lots of small farms in the area. There was a railway station here where the grain went out and money came in.(和众多其他小城镇一样，Sylvan Grove也是围绕农业发展起来的，以满足该地区众多拥有小型农场的大家庭的需求。这里有一个火车站，谷物在这里运出，资金在这里流入。)”、第五段“Those days are long gone. Now, the families are small, and the big farms are increasingly owned by people living in distant cities. The railroad has been abandoned years before. Since 1880, the town has lost 65% of its population.(那样的日子早已一去不复返。如今家庭规模变小，大型农场越来越多地被住在远方城市的人所拥有。铁路也在多年前就被废弃。自1880年以来，该镇人口已减少了65%。)”对小镇的今昔描述可知，Sylvan Grove人口流失、铁路废弃、农业衰退、大农场被外地人收购，是美国衰退农村小镇的一个缩影，结合第六段““It is tough to make a living out here,” admits Wagner. “And it is not a suitable place to run a restaurant.”(“在这里谋生可不容易，”Wagner承认道：“而且这里也不适合开餐馆。”)”说明Sylvan Grove是机会稀少的乡村地区。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““It is tough to make a living out here,” admits Wagner. “And it is not a suitable place to run a restaurant.”(“在这里谋生可不容易，”Wagner承认道:“而且这里也不适合开餐馆。”)”、第七段“Wagner grew up in Sylvan Grove. Like many ambitious rural kids, he left the town after high school. Having graduated from a culinary school, he worked his way up through some of the best restaurants in a big Kansas city, where customers might spend $2 — 300 on dinner.(Wagner出生在Sylvan Grove。和许多有抱负的乡村孩子一样，他在高中毕业后离开了那个小镇。他从一所烹饪学校毕业之后，在堪萨斯州的一座大城市里的一些顶级餐厅里工作，那里顾客一顿晚餐的花费可能在200到300美元之间。)”以及第八段““I couldn’t relate to the people that I was cooking the food for, and cooking is a passion project,” says Wagner. “So I started my own business here three years ago.”(“我和我为其做菜的那些人没有共鸣，而烹饪本是一份充满热情的事业，” 瓦格纳说，“所以三年前，我回到这里开了自己的店。”)”可知，Wagner提到自己曾在城市高档餐厅工作，且无法与食客产生共鸣，并强调烹饪是热情项目，因此回到谋生较难的家乡创业。这体现他是个非典型商人：将个人热情置于利益之上。故选D。 C The invention of the stethoscope is widely credited to the 19th-century French doctor Rene Laënnec. Before the invention, doctors often placed their ear directly on a patient’s chest to listen for abnormalities in breathing and heart sounds. In 1816, a young lady suffering from heart disease went to see Laënnec. Placing his ear on her chest, however, was considered socially inappropriate. Inspired by children sending sounds through a long wooden stick outside his office, Laënnec instead rolled a sheet of paper to listen to her heart. He was surprised by the clear heart sounds he heard, and the first stethoscope was born. Over the next decades, researchers made some important improvements. Firstly, a thin film called a diaphragm was added to amplify the slight sound that might be very hard for ears to detect. The next major breakthrough occurred in the mid-1850s, when Arthur Leared and George Philip Cammann developed the so-called binaural stethoscope, which is remarkably similar to the stethoscopes doctors use today: It had separate earpieces connected by two flexible tubes to deliver sounds to both ears and reduce outside noise. However, listening with human ears has limitations. Abnormal sounds often emerge only at advanced stages, when treatment is less effective. Moreover, different diseases may produce similar sounds, making accurate diagnosis (诊断) extremely difficult. To address these challenges, researchers are now combining stethoscopes with artificial intelligence (AI). First, they record sounds from the stethoscope and then turn the sounds into electronic signals that can be stored and analyzed by AI models. The result seems to be promising. Some well-trained AI models can classify heart sounds correctly over 95% of the time and can even differentiate between types of heart disease with nearly 85% accuracy. Most importantly, a few of them are able to detect heart and lung problems at early stages. 8. Why did Rene Laënnec use a rolled sheet of paper to listen to his patient’s heart? A To copy those children. B. To avoid embarrassment. C. To amuse the young lady. D. To test his new discovery. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 2? A. Strengthen. B. Reduce. C. Deliver. D. Hide. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Effects of timely treatment. B. Challenges of early diagnosis. C. Limitations of stethoscopes. D. Great potentials of AI models. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To demonstrate how AI models are trained. B. To explain what the binaural stethoscope is. C. To tell the stethoscopes’ major developments. D. To show the stethoscopes’ working principles. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听诊器的发明、改进及其在AI时代的运用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 1816, a young lady suffering from heart disease went to see Laënnec. Placing his ear on her chest, however, was considered socially inappropriate. Inspired by children sending sounds through a long wooden stick outside his office, Laënnec instead rolled a sheet of paper to listen to her heart.(1816 年，一位患有心脏病的年轻女士前来就诊。然而，将耳朵贴在她的胸部被认为是不合适的。Laënnec受到孩子们在办公室外用一根长木棍传递声音的启发，于是将一张纸卷成圆筒状来听她的心跳。)”可知，Rene Laënnec为了避免尴尬才用纸筒听患者心脏的。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Over the next decades, researchers made some important improvements. Firstly, a thin film called a diaphragm was added(在接下来的几十年里，研究人员对其进行了多项重要改进。首先，加装了一层名为振动膜的薄膜)”以及下文“the slight sound that might be very hard for ears to detect(耳朵很难察觉的微弱声音)”可推断，加薄膜是对听诊器的改进，用于放大、增强难以察觉的微弱声音，划线词amplify意为“放大、增强”，与Strengthen意思一致。故选A。 【10题详解】 段落大意题。根据最后一段“The result seems to be promising. Some well-trained AI models can classify heart sounds correctly over 95% of the time and can even differentiate between types of heart disease with nearly 85% accuracy. Most importantly, a few of them are able to detect heart and lung problems at early stages.(研究成果前景可观：一些训练成熟的AI模型，心跳声分类准确率超95%，甚至能以近85%的准确率区分不同类型的心脏病。最重要的是，部分模型可在早期阶段检测出心肺疾病。)”可知，这一段主要是谈听诊器与AI模型结合的前景，介绍AI模型的高准确率、可区分心脏病类型、能早期检测心肺问题，体现AI模型的巨大潜力。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The invention of the stethoscope is widely credited to the 19th-century French doctor Rene Laënnec.(听诊器的发明通常归功于19世纪的法国医生Rene Laënnec。)”、第二段中“Over the next decades, researchers made some important improvements. (在接下来的几十年里，研究人员做出了一些重要的改进。)”、第四段中“To address these challenges, researchers are now combining stethoscopes with artificial intelligence (AI).(为了应对这些挑战，研究人员正在将听诊器与人工智能（AI）结合起来。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了听诊器的发明、改进及与AI的融合，按时间顺序说明听诊器的关键发展历程。故选C 。 D That art can lift spirit is well known, while that it calms the body is novel. However, there is growing evidence to support that opinion. Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists — Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet and Gauguin — in the gallery. The results were clear: Appreciating artistic beauty helped them escape the “mental trappings of daily life”. This experiment followed a study published last year by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to quantify the improvements of physical and mental health by taking part in creative activities, as well as the economic gain — estimated to be an average of £1,000 per person a year, as a result of improved work productivity and fewer trips to the hospital. And for the first time in its 202-year history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showing how going to art galleries could relieve stress and cut heart disease risk, as well as boost the immune system. “When you experience an artwork, you don’t just see it, but you feel it,” art historian Katy Hessel writes in her new book How to Live an Artful Life. “The best thing we can do is take time with it.” Time, of course, is what we are lacking in the modern world. But this seems to be key to art’s healing powers. Galleries are quiet places where we can deeply engage with a work of art. As Katy Hessel writes, “Deep engagement leads to psychological distancing—seeing the bigger picture. It enables us to see and take pleasure in what is not ourselves. For example, when we come face to face with the details in Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait With Bandaged Ear, we may feel the pain behind them.” Against a backdrop of funding crisis in the UK, these studies show the need for greater investment in the creative sector. Art is vital not only to the nation’s economy, but to its health. We hope that doctors will soon be prescribing (开处方) what the team behind the Cambridge study called a “cultural workout” for the body. 12. What message does the author want to convey in the second paragraph? A. Art plays a positive role in public health. B. Art can increase people’s average income. C. Galleries are required to reduce heart disease risk. D. Galleries should collect post-impressionists’ masterworks. 13. How does the author of this text present his opinion in paragraph 4? A. By conducting surveys. B. By quoting an author. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving examples. 14. How does the author feel about the creative sector in the UK? A. Satisfied. B. Unconcerned. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A Time Is Key to Benefiting From Art’s Healing Powers B. The Creative Sector in the UK Is Facing a Funding Crisis C. Cambridge Psychologists Find That Art Calms the Body D. “Cultural Workout” Facilities Should Get More Investment 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍科学实验证实了欣赏艺术对身心健康的积极作用，还引用艺术史学家的观点说明深度欣赏艺术的重要性，最后结合英国创意产业的资金危机，指出该领域需要更多投资，艺术对国家的经济和国民健康都至关重要。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“Appreciating artistic beauty helped them escape the “mental trappings of daily life”. (欣赏艺术之美帮助他们摆脱了“日常生活的精神桎梏”。)”，以及“to quantify the improvements of physical and mental health by taking part in creative activities (量化参与创意活动对身心健康的改善作用)”和“how going to art galleries could relieve stress and cut heart disease risk, as well as boost the immune system (去美术馆如何能缓解压力、降低心脏病风险并增强免疫系统)”可知，该段通过多个研究和实验结果，表明欣赏艺术、参与创意活动能改善身心健康、缓解压力、降低患病风险，核心是想传达艺术对公共健康起到积极作用。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“As Katy Hessel writes, “Deep engagement leads to psychological distancing—seeing the bigger picture. It enables us to see and take pleasure in what is not ourselves. For example, when we come face to face with the details in Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait With Bandaged Ear, we may feel the pain behind them.” (正如凯蒂·赫塞尔所写：“深度投入会带来心理上的抽离——看到更广阔的图景。它能让我们看到并享受与自身无关的事物。例如，当我们直面梵高《耳朵上扎绑带的自画像》中的细节时，我们可能会感受到背后的痛苦。”)”可知，作者在该段中多次引用艺术史学家凯蒂·赫塞尔的话语和观点来阐释自己的看法，即投入时间深度欣赏艺术是艺术具备治愈力量的关键。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Against a backdrop of funding crisis in the UK, these studies show the need for greater investment in the creative sector. (在英国面临资金危机的背景下，这些研究表明创意产业需要更多的投资。)”可知，英国的创意产业正遭遇资金危机，而艺术对国家的经济和国民健康都至关重要，作者明确指出该领域需要更多投资，由此能看出作者对当下英国创意产业的现状是不认可的，认为其缺乏足够的资金支持，发展状况不佳。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇提出艺术能安抚身体的新颖观点，随后通过剑桥心理学家的实验、英国相关部门的研究以及《柳叶刀》的内容，证实了欣赏艺术对身心健康的积极作用，引用艺术史学家的观点说明深度欣赏艺术的重要性，最后重点落脚到英国创意产业的资金危机，明确指出“这些研究表明创意产业需要更多的投资”，并提及医生未来可能会为人们开具“文化锻炼”处方，核心呼吁是“文化锻炼”相关的创意产业（场所）应获得更多投资，这与选项D“‘文化锻炼’场所应该获得更多投资）”高度契合。选项D适合用作标题，故选D。 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。 Wellness means different things.

I firmly believe that historic buildings should be selectively preserved and restored rather than demolished. I think they are irreplaceable treasures that carry cultural and economic significance. Firstly, they represent our cultural identity and architectural heritage. Losing them means erasing a part of our identity and history. Secondly, well-preserved historic buildings give a city its distinctive character, making it more attractive for investment and new residents. Demolishing them would waste this sustainable economic potential. In conclusion, preserving these landmarks is a smart investment that generates long-term economic benefits while honoring our cultural heritage. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于议论文。要求考生围绕“古建筑该拆除还是重点保护”这一问题表明观点并说明理由。 【详解】词汇积累 坚定地：firmly → steadfastly 代表：represent→ stand for 宝贝：treasure → jewel 遗产：heritage → legacy 句式拓展 同义句替换 原句：I think they are irreplaceable treasures that carry cultural and economic significance. 拓展句：I think they are irreplaceable treasures carrying cultural and economic significance. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I think they are irreplaceable treasures that carry cultural and economic significance.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Secondly, well-preserved historic buildings give a city its distinctive character, making it more attractive for investment and new residents.（运用了现在分词making作结果状语） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 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。 An Unlikely “Musician” Turned the Train Into a Concert Hall It was an extremely hot day. To escape the unbearable heat, a friend and I decided to take a trip out of the city. Aboard the crowded train, an old man stepped into our car. His clothes were worn but very neat. With a warm smile, he tipped his cap and greeted everyone with a cheerful “Good morning, folk.” Once the passengers had settled and the train began to move, he lifted a flute to his lips and started to play. The music was really beautiful. Yet, most people were concentrating on their phone. Ignored by his mother who was scrolling intently, a little boy, who sat across from me, seemed very unhappy. I had grown used to people asking for money on public transport. Usually, I would ignore them, like most of the passengers did. This old man, however, was different. He seemed completely lost in his music, never pausing to ask for anything. He would occasionally stop playing to steady himself, yet no one made a move to offer him any coins. The second song he played happened to be my favorite childhood tune, I’ll Be Your Friend. As I listened to the music, I found myself singing along softly. When the old man was approaching, I reached for my wallet, took out a twenty-dollar bill, and rolled it tightly in my hand. “I want to give him a gift,” I told myself, waiting for him to draw nearer. “He deserves it for such beautiful music.” Now he was closer, and I could see him more clearly. He was tall and thin, and his face was carved with the lines of a hard life. Yet, he carried himself with a quiet dignity, standing straight and proud. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I slipped the rolled bill into his hand, the old man seemed very surprised. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I sang along with the old man, the other passengers looked up from their phones. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When I slipped the rolled bill into his hand, the old man seemed very surprised. Having realized what I had thought of him, he laughed heartily and then explained kindly, “I’m not begging for money, dear. I’m one of the passengers, like you. I only want to make our journey a little more pleasant. If you don’t mind, please sing with me. Your voice is so sweet!” At first, I was still a little bit shy. Encouraged by his words, I eventually agreed. As I sang along with the old man, the other passengers looked up from their phones. At first, they were puzzled. Then more and more passengers joined us, while the rest clapped to the rhythm. Immediately, the train was transformed into a joyful concert hall. Even the little boy was now laughing, with his boredom forgotten. The train was still hot and crowded, but the atmosphere had completely changed as if by magic. To me, it has remained the most unforgettable journey of my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了炎热的一天，“我”和朋友乘火车出城避暑，车厢里拥挤闷热，一位衣着破旧却整洁的老人上车后，拿出长笛吹奏优美的音乐，却被专注于手机的乘客们忽视；“我”起初以为老人是乞讨者，在听到自己童年最爱的曲子后，轻声跟着哼唱，并准备了20美元想送给老人，在老人走近时，“我”握紧钞票，准备将这份“礼物”送给这位用音乐温暖旅途的老人的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“当我把卷好的钞票塞进他手里时，老人显得非常惊讶。”可知，本段可描写“我”的误解与老人的回应。 ② 由第二段首句“当我和老人一起唱歌时，其他乘客纷纷从手机上抬起头来。”可知，本段可描写车厢氛围的转变与“我”的感悟。 2. 续写线索：“我”将钞票塞进老人手里，老人感到惊讶——老人解释自己并非乞讨，只是想用音乐温暖旅途——老人邀请“我”一起唱歌，“我”害羞后答应——“我”和老人合唱，乘客们放下手机抬头——乘客们从困惑到加入合唱、鼓掌——小男孩忘记无聊欢笑——车厢氛围变得欢乐，“我”铭记这段旅程 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①. 解释：explain/clarify ②. 加入：join/take part in ③. 鼓掌：clap/applaud ④. 铭记：remain/remember deeply 情感类 ①. 害羞：shy/timid ②. 欢乐：joyful/cheerful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
