It is a creative problem-solving competition that gives kids the confidence to think for themselves and to create solutions to any challenge. Independent study, original ideas, and critical thinking skills are rewarded over getting the “one right answer” thanks to our unique open-ended problems that are backed by educators and experts in STE(A)M fields. Performance, art & cultural studies are also incorporated, creating a well-rounded program that has impacted lives for over 40 years. OM benefits all types of students as they learn to think outside the box. Participation ● Students work in teams of up to seven members and spend weeks or months working together and creating solutions to long-term problems. Every year, there are six long-term problems designed for them to choose from. ● Teams are formed by division and compete against teams in the same division and problem. Grade level determines the division for teams. ● In the competition, teams have eight minutes to present their long-term problem solution. They will be scored for how well they meet the requirements of the problem (Long-Term score) and for their creativity in categories specific to that problem (Style score). Cost Yearly memberships are required to participate in OM. Each membership supports one team per problem per division. ● Standard Membership $290: Individual schools/ Multiple schools sharing a principal. ● Additional Membership $190: Only for schools who enter two teams in the same problem and division in competition. Awards ● Ranatra Fusca Creativity Award: It represents the essence of OM. It is presented to teams or individuals who exhibit exceptional creativity, either through some aspect of their problem solution, or an extraordinary idea beyond the problem solution. ● OMER’s Award: It recognizes individuals or teams who demonstrate outstanding sportsmanship, excellent behavior, or exceptional talent. ● Odyssey of the Mind Creativity Award: It recognizes an individual and/ or organization for extraordinary creative achievement or exceptional effort. ● Odyssey of the Mind Spirit Award: It recognizes an individual involved in the program who demonstrates the encouragement and development of cooperation, self-respect, and the appreciation and understanding of others. 31.

Odyssey of the Mind Creativity Award B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 34. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 35. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 36. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 37. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. C If the great dinosaurs hadn’t gone extinct, would they have dominated Earth today? There has been a debate about this possibility for decades. Recently two analyses have put the surprising cognitive (认知) abilities of dinosaurs — and their potential limitations — in a new light. In one study, Suzana Herculano-Houzel at Vanderbilt University calculated the likely number of neurons (神经细胞) in dinosaurs’ pallium, a brain structure that is responsible for advanced cognitive functions. Research suggests that it is the number of neurons in these areas, rather than the brain size, that indicates an animal’s cognitive potential. For example, despite having a very small head, birds have more densely packed brain cells than many mammals (哺乳动物) and so can possess roughly as many neurons as monkeys. The result is that some birds show great cognitive abilities, comparable to the smartest non-human mammals. And it is precisely birds, being the only surviving lineage (宗系) of dinosaurs, that are Herculano-Houzel’s foundation. By comparing the relationship between brain size, number of neurons and body size in numerous existing birds and available fossils of dinosaurs, Herculano-Houzel concludes that a large dinosaur such as T. rex could have housed two billion to three billion neurons in its pallium. If so, dinosaurs could have had the capacity for tool use and planning for the future. But neurons’ number may not be enough. For intelligence, brain architecture also matters. And this could be the weakness of dinosaurs, argues Anton Reiner from the University of Tennessee. Over 350 million years of separate evolution, mammals and dinosaurs found two rather different ways to organize cognitive functions. The mammalian neurons are organized in a relatively thin layer formed by compact columns. In each column, different parts can communicate with one another over short distances. In contrast, in the dinosaurs that survive today, namely birds, the organization is less compact. According to Reiner, expanding brain capabilities beyond a certain point could make the structure far more complex and less efficient than it is in humans. If this were the case, an increase in brain size would correspond to a greater distance between different parts of the brain, slowing down their communication. The issue remains open to debate. Herculano-Houzel and Reiner each published a paper with rejections to the other’s argument. Meanwhile, other scientists have entered the fight. For example, neurobiologist Giorgio Vallortigara assumes that speed in transmitting information between networks of neurons is probably one of dinosaurs’ strengths. Whatever the truth is, understanding how and if brain architecture imposes limits on the development of cognition could reveal much about the evolution of abilities and behaviors of various animals. Also, this debate may tell us more about our own species than about dinosaurs. 38. Why do Herculano-Houzel and Reiner study birds? A. Because birds are more intelligent than dinosaurs. B. Because birds’ brain structures are the same as dinosaurs’. C. Because birds are the only survivors of the dinosaur family. D. Because birds have the same cognitive abilities as dinosaurs. 39. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Dinosaurs’ ability for tool use owes to bigger brains. B. The number of neurons has little to do with brain architecture. C. Greater inter-brain distance causes higher cognitive efficiency. D. The factors behind dinosaur intelligence remain to be identified. 40. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Are Dinosaurs Comparable to Humans in Intelligence? B. Are Dinosaurs with Bigger Brains the Ultimate Geniuses? C. How Smart Were Dinosaurs? New Studies Fuel the Debate D. Can Dinosaurs Outsmart Birds? Researches Cast a New Light D Art and science are often seen as distinct approaches to understanding the world. Artists ask subjective, open-ended questions. Scientists seek a common, objective view of reality. Cosmic Titans: Art, science and the quantum (量子) universe, an absorbing exhibition in UK, challenges this entirely. The exhibits came from years of cooperation between nine artists and leading quantum research labs. They don’t just reflect scientific ideas but also offer new understandings that directly contribute to research. The exhibition originated in physicist Silke Weinfurtner’s “Gravity Laboratory”, where she uses water or superfluid helium (超流氦) to model black holes and the early universe — systems too distant for direct experiments. Exploring similar systems gives Weinfurtner concrete insights into their behaviour as the underlying mathematics is the same. In one artwork, An Early Universe, artist Alistair McClymont takes similar fluid systems and makes them even more palpable. A large bass (低音) speaker placed in a dark room disturbs a dish of water as it sweeps through low frequencies. Next, a flashing light projects mathematical patterns created by the sound waves onto a wall. Because our bodies are mostly water, the bass shakes inside us, too. As the patterns shift from order to chaos, you feel an unusual sensation mirroring the sight. Moreover, cooperating with McClymont led Weinfurtner to find new light-based methods that use flashing lights to measure fluid systems. Other works on display also seek to make the hard-to-grasp perceivable. The Quantum Lens, for example, a mixed-reality experience, explores quantum ideas that go against common sense. Projections inside a VR headset allow users to make sense of how many possible worlds may collapse into the one we experience. Another work, Ringdown by Conrad Shawcross, explores two black holes’ final moments using bronze bells and shaking metal bars. The mysterious sounds bring us closer to these events, mirroring how scientists now study gravitational wave data. All of this highlights the role that observers play in both art and science. The organizer of Cosmic Titans Ulrike Kuchner said, “Art challenges you to take a position. As an audience, you complete the artwork with your own memories, your own emotions, and your own personal context — something science rarely does.” Fundamental physics especially tries to remove away the personal and offer an objective perspective. Yet recent advances into the foundations of quantum physics suggest that reality isn’t absolute and objective, but rather comes about through negotiating the perspectives of different observers. Ultimately, as Cosmic Titans reminds us, there are deeper truths underlying science and art. Not least that objective reality is a false belief. 41. What does the word “palpable” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Predictable. B. Adaptable. C. Manageable. D. Observable. 42. What can we learn from Cosmic Titans? A. Art is key to scientific discoveries. B. Art can help clarify complex scientific ideas. C. Science plays a guiding role in artistic creation. D. Scientific research is more reliable than artistic exploration. 43. What can be inferred from the passage? A. What we call objective reality may not exist. B. Scientists view art as a visual tool for testing theories. C. Observers’ roles are fully considered in scientific progress. D. Quantum physics values personal experience over scientific data. 44. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Make a comparison. B. Predict a trend. C. Promote an event. D. Illustrate an idea. 第三部分：阅读表达（共4小题；第45、46题2分，第47题3分，第48题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius: wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple disciplines — painting, architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a supernatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的)”. In fact, the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen. Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. “Tell me if ever I did a thing…Tell me if anything was ever made.” His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder. At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery... We can never learn enough from Leonardo. 45. What set Da Vinci apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 46. Why was Da Vinci regarded as a very human genius? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北京市第八十中学2025-2026学年第二学期4月阶段测 高一英语 （考试时间60分钟 满分100分） 提示：试卷答案请一律填涂或书写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 在答题卡上，选择题用2B铅笔作答，其他试题用黑色签字笔作答。 第一部分：知识运用（共三节，共60分） 第一节 完型填空（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I grew up in a small village where dreams weren’t always encouraged.

(‘头脑奥德赛精神奖’：该奖项表彰参与该项目的个人，其表现出对合作、自尊的鼓励和培养，以及对他人的欣赏和理解。)”可知，最有团队合作意识的参与者最有可能获得“头脑奥德赛精神奖”。故选C项。 B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 34. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 35. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 36. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 37. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. 【答案】34. C 35. B 36. A 37. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟，包括初次接触书法时的情景，名字的由来，在美国放弃中文名，回到香港学习书法的原因，老师对自己的评价，以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔，所以他们请算命先生给我取名字，希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是，我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字：陈薏温，意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知， 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的，虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字，但她还是不喜欢。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.(当我在美国生活了14年后，于2021年搬到香港时，我决定学习书法。为什么不跟我的传统联系一下呢？我想)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可推知，从老师的话中，作者了解到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可知，作者最初学习书法是为了 “接触文化遗产（get back in touch with my heritage）”，但过程中逐渐意识到 “what I was really seeking was a return to myself（我真正寻求的是回归自我）”，最终感悟到 “the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully（书法带来的乐趣让我更全面地了解自己）”。老师最后评价她的字 “this word is yours（这个字是你的）”，暗指 “字如其人”，作者通过书法探索自我、发现内在的价值与美好。故选B。 C If the great dinosaurs hadn’t gone extinct, would they have dominated Earth today? There has been a debate about this possibility for decades. Recently two analyses have put the surprising cognitive (认知) abilities of dinosaurs — and their potential limitations — in a new light. In one study, Suzana Herculano-Houzel at Vanderbilt University calculated the likely number of neurons (神经细胞) in dinosaurs’ pallium, a brain structure that is responsible for advanced cognitive functions. Research suggests that it is the number of neurons in these areas, rather than the brain size, that indicates an animal’s cognitive potential. For example, despite having a very small head, birds have more densely packed brain cells than many mammals (哺乳动物) and so can possess roughly as many neurons as monkeys. The result is that some birds show great cognitive abilities, comparable to the smartest non-human mammals. And it is precisely birds, being the only surviving lineage (宗系) of dinosaurs, that are Herculano-Houzel’s foundation. By comparing the relationship between brain size, number of neurons and body size in numerous existing birds and available fossils of dinosaurs, Herculano-Houzel concludes that a large dinosaur such as T. rex could have housed two billion to three billion neurons in its pallium. If so, dinosaurs could have had the capacity for tool use and planning for the future. But neurons’ number may not be enough. For intelligence, brain architecture also matters. And this could be the weakness of dinosaurs, argues Anton Reiner from the University of Tennessee. Over 350 million years of separate evolution, mammals and dinosaurs found two rather different ways to organize cognitive functions. The mammalian neurons are organized in a relatively thin layer formed by compact columns. In each column, different parts can communicate with one another over short distances. In contrast, in the dinosaurs that survive today, namely birds, the organization is less compact. According to Reiner, expanding brain capabilities beyond a certain point could make the structure far more complex and less efficient than it is in humans. If this were the case, an increase in brain size would correspond to a greater distance between different parts of the brain, slowing down their communication. The issue remains open to debate. Herculano-Houzel and Reiner each published a paper with rejections to the other’s argument. Meanwhile, other scientists have entered the fight. For example, neurobiologist Giorgio Vallortigara assumes that speed in transmitting information between networks of neurons is probably one of dinosaurs’ strengths. Whatever the truth is, understanding how and if brain architecture imposes limits on the development of cognition could reveal much about the evolution of abilities and behaviors of various animals. Also, this debate may tell us more about our own species than about dinosaurs. 38. Why do Herculano-Houzel and Reiner study birds? A. Because birds are more intelligent than dinosaurs. B. Because birds’ brain structures are the same as dinosaurs’. C. Because birds are the only survivors of the dinosaur family. D. Because birds have the same cognitive abilities as dinosaurs. 39. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Dinosaurs’ ability for tool use owes to bigger brains. B. The number of neurons has little to do with brain architecture. C. Greater inter-brain distance causes higher cognitive efficiency. D. The factors behind dinosaur intelligence remain to be identified. 40. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Are Dinosaurs Comparable to Humans in Intelligence? B. Are Dinosaurs with Bigger Brains the Ultimate Geniuses? C. How Smart Were Dinosaurs? New Studies Fuel the Debate D. Can Dinosaurs Outsmart Birds? Researches Cast a New Light 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了关于恐龙智力的最近的两项研究，新的研究加剧了争论。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And it is precisely birds, being the only surviving lineage (宗系) of dinosaurs, that are Herculano-Houzel’s foundation.(正是鸟类，作为唯一幸存的恐龙宗系，是Herculano-Houzel的基础。)”和第三段中“In contrast, in the dinosaurs that survive today, namely birds, the organization is less compact.(相比之下，现存的恐龙（即鸟类）的组织结构则不那么紧密。)”可知，Herculano-Houzel和Reiner研究鸟类是因为鸟类是恐龙宗系中唯一的幸存者，故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The issue remains open to debate. Herculano-Houzel and Reiner each published a paper with rejections to the other’s argument. Meanwhile, other scientists have entered the fight.(这一问题仍有待辩论。Herculano-Houzel和Reiner各自发表了一篇论文，对对方的论点予以反驳。与此同时，其他科学家也加入了这场争论。)”可知，科学家对于影响恐龙智力的因素观点不一，该问题仍有待讨论，故恐龙智力背后的因素仍有待确定。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“If the great dinosaurs hadn’t gone extinct, would they have dominated Earth today? There has been a debate about this possibility for decades. Recently two analyses have put the surprising cognitive (认知) abilities of dinosaurs — and their potential limitations — in a new light.(如果大型恐龙没有灭绝，它们如今会主宰地球吗？几十年来，人们一直就这一可能性展开争论。最近两项分析以全新视角揭示了恐龙令人惊奇的认知能力——以及它们可能存在的局限性。)”可知，对于恐龙智力的争论已经持续了几十年，文章主要介绍了关于恐龙智力的最近的两项研究，C项“How Smart Were Dinosaurs? New Studies Fuel the Debate(恐龙有多聪明？新研究引发激烈争论)”为最佳标题，故选C。 D Art and science are often seen as distinct approaches to understanding the world. Artists ask subjective, open-ended questions. Scientists seek a common, objective view of reality. Cosmic Titans: Art, science and the quantum (量子) universe, an absorbing exhibition in UK, challenges this entirely. The exhibits came from years of cooperation between nine artists and leading quantum research labs. They don’t just reflect scientific ideas but also offer new understandings that directly contribute to research. The exhibition originated in physicist Silke Weinfurtner’s “Gravity Laboratory”, where she uses water or superfluid helium (超流氦) to model black holes and the early universe — systems too distant for direct experiments. Exploring similar systems gives Weinfurtner concrete insights into their behaviour as the underlying mathematics is the same. In one artwork, An Early Universe, artist Alistair McClymont takes similar fluid systems and makes them even more palpable. A large bass (低音) speaker placed in a dark room disturbs a dish of water as it sweeps through low frequencies. Next, a flashing light projects mathematical patterns created by the sound waves onto a wall. Because our bodies are mostly water, the bass shakes inside us, too. As the patterns shift from order to chaos, you feel an unusual sensation mirroring the sight. Moreover, cooperating with McClymont led Weinfurtner to find new light-based methods that use flashing lights to measure fluid systems. Other works on display also seek to make the hard-to-grasp perceivable. The Quantum Lens, for example, a mixed-reality experience, explores quantum ideas that go against common sense. Projections inside a VR headset allow users to make sense of how many possible worlds may collapse into the one we experience. Another work, Ringdown by Conrad Shawcross, explores two black holes’ final moments using bronze bells and shaking metal bars. The mysterious sounds bring us closer to these events, mirroring how scientists now study gravitational wave data. All of this highlights the role that observers play in both art and science. The organizer of Cosmic Titans Ulrike Kuchner said, “Art challenges you to take a position. As an audience, you complete the artwork with your own memories, your own emotions, and your own personal context — something science rarely does.” Fundamental physics especially tries to remove away the personal and offer an objective perspective. Yet recent advances into the foundations of quantum physics suggest that reality isn’t absolute and objective, but rather comes about through negotiating the perspectives of different observers. Ultimately, as Cosmic Titans reminds us, there are deeper truths underlying science and art. Not least that objective reality is a false belief. 41. What does the word “palpable” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Predictable. B. Adaptable. C. Manageable. D. Observable. 42. What can we learn from Cosmic Titans? A. Art is key to scientific discoveries. B. Art can help clarify complex scientific ideas. C. Science plays a guiding role in artistic creation. D. Scientific research is more reliable than artistic exploration. 43. What can be inferred from the passage? A. What we call objective reality may not exist. B. Scientists view art as a visual tool for testing theories. C. Observers’ roles are fully considered in scientific progress. D. Quantum physics values personal experience over scientific data. 44. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Make a comparison. B. Predict a trend. C. Promote an event. D. Illustrate an idea. 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以英国“宇宙巨人”展览为例，说明艺术与科学并非截然不同，二者合作可助力彼此，还探讨了客观现实的本质。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“In one artwork, An Early Universe, artist Alistair McClymont takes similar fluid systems and makes them even more palpable. A large bass (低音) speaker placed in a dark room disturbs a dish of water as it sweeps through low frequencies. Next, a flashing light projects mathematical patterns created by the sound waves onto a wall. Because our bodies are mostly water, the bass shakes inside us, too.(在一件名为《早期宇宙》的艺术品中，艺术家阿利斯泰尔·麦克莱蒙特采用了类似的流体系统，并使它们更加palpable。一个大型低音扬声器放置在黑暗的房间里，当它扫过低频时，会扰动一盘水。接着，一盏闪光灯将声波产生的数学图案投射到墙上。因为我们的身体大部分是水，低音也会在我们体内震动)”可知，艺术家通过声音和光线让流体系统产生的现象能被观众看到、感受到，由此猜测palpable意为“可观察到的、可感知的”，与Observable意思相近。故选D项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The exhibits came from years of cooperation between nine artists and leading quantum research labs. They don’t just reflect scientific ideas but also offer new understandings that directly contribute to research.(这些展品源于九位艺术家与顶尖量子研究实验室多年的合作。它们不仅反映了科学思想，还提供了直接有助于研究的新理解)”和第五段中的“Other works on display also seek to make the hard-to-grasp perceivable.(其他展出的作品也试图让难以理解的事物变得可感知)”可知，“宇宙巨人”展览中的艺术品有助于将复杂的科学概念变得易懂、可感知，即艺术可以帮助阐明复杂的科学思想。故选B项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Yet recent advances into the foundations of quantum physics suggest that reality isn’t absolute and objective, but rather comes about through negotiating the perspectives of different observers.(然而，最近在量子物理学基础方面的进展表明，现实并非绝对和客观的，而是通过协调不同观察者的视角形成的)”和最后一段中的“Ultimately, as Cosmic Titans reminds us, there are deeper truths underlying science and art. Not least that objective reality is a false belief.(最终，正如《宇宙巨人》提醒我们的那样，科学和艺术背后还有更深层次的真理。尤其是客观现实是一种错误的信念)”可推断，我们所说的客观现实可能并不存在。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Art and science are often seen as distinct approaches to understanding the world.(艺术和科学通常被视为理解世界的不同方法)”和第二段中的“Cosmic Titans: Art, science and the quantum (量子) universe, an absorbing exhibition in UK, challenges this entirely.(英国一场引人入胜的展览《宇宙巨人：艺术、科学与量子宇宙》彻底挑战了这一观点)”可知，作者开篇提出普遍观点，随后以该展览为核心例子，阐述“艺术与科学并非截然不同，二者可相互助力”这一观点，最后进一步探讨客观现实的本质。由此可推断，作者主要是在阐明一个观点。故选D项。 第三部分：阅读表达（共4小题；第45、46题2分，第47题3分，第48题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius: wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple disciplines — painting, architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a supernatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的)”. In fact, the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen. Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. “Tell me if ever I did a thing…Tell me if anything was ever made.” His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder. At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery... We can never learn enough from Leonardo. 45. What set Da Vinci apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 46. Why was Da Vinci regarded as a very human genius? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】45. Creativity/Creativity sets him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart.    46. Because he made mistakes and he left a trail of unfinished projects, such as flying machines that never flew and tanks that never rolled. 47. Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. Because not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Da Vinci(达·芬奇)是一个有创造力，有人类本性的天才。他充满好奇心，善于观察事物，尊重事实，接受神秘等这些品质，值得我们学习。 【45题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity .(使Leonardo成为天才的部分原因，使他与那些仅仅是非常聪明的人区别开来的部分原因是创造力。)”可知，是创造力将达·芬奇与那些只是非常聪明的人区别开来，故答案为Creativity.或Creativity sets him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart. 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. (Leonardo也是一个非常有人类本性的天才。他犯了错误。他留下了一系列未完成的项目——从没飞过的飞行器，从没启动过的坦克。)”可知，达·芬奇也犯错，而且还留下一系列未完成的项目，比如从没飞过的飞行器和从没启动过的坦克，所以达·芬奇被认为是一个有人类本性的天才，故答案为Because he made mistakes and he left a trail of unfinished projects, such as flying machines that never flew and tanks that never rolled. 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. (为知识本身而求知。并非所有的知识都必须有用。有时应该纯粹为了快乐而追求。)”可知，错误的部分为one of which is to seek useful knowledge，因为并非所有的知识都必须有用，有时应该纯粹为了快乐而追求。故答案为Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge. Because not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
