Her career path was far from straightforward.At eight,Anita was invited to study alongside a master's group under a Polish painter."It wouldn't be allowed these days,"she says.Her mother, supportive,bought her oil paints;her father,less so,frequently destroyed her work.Later,Anita swapped paints for fast money."It gave me a nice lifestyle financially,"she says,"but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run an internet business,but she didn't remember being happy throughout those years.When the dot-com bubble burst,her clients suffered,and her business sank. Today,she is known for her vast,immersive canvases ()featuring meadows,wild grasses and blossoms-paintings that ask you to stop,breathe and look."I want the viewer to see what I see:the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder."She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped,caught in a gentle wind. Art,for Anita,is a celebration of nature."Walking through the greenery is my meditation," she says."Some call it mindfulness,but for me it's just immersing myself in wonder."One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita's work for three hours,saying it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain.That,for Anita,is the point."I can't teach you how to paint,"she shrugs."I can only teach you how to look."And her latest series,See Me I Bloom,extends that lesson to womanhood:"It's about women truly valuing themselves-their strength,wisdom,and determination.We create and nurture life-what could be more important?" 34.What can be inferred about Anita's early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A.She received formal art education from a young age. B.Both of her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. C.Her talent was recognized early but she faced difficulties. D.She valued economic success over art from the beginning 35.How did Anita feel about her years as a businesswoman? A.Empty and meaningless. B.Rewarding yet stressful. C.Accomplished and content. D.Challenging yet enjoyable. 36.Why does Anita paint large canvases? A.To showcase her unique pastel techniques. B.To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. C.To create a sense of being surrounded by nature. D.To draw viewers to the breathtaking nature of life. 37.What can art do for people according to Anita? A.It teaches viewers the exactrules of painting. B.It helps people learn to discover meaning in life. C.It shows women the true value of avoiding pain. D.It encourages artists to pursue economic rewards. 英语试题第5页共11页 C Aurora Nikula,5,is having a normal day at her kindergarten.She is making a cake out of sand and mud,adding in make-believe carrots,potatoes and meat.Aki Sinkkonen,a scientist watching,is very interested in the cake,but for different reasons."Perfect,"he says,admiring the way she is mixing dirt,sand and leaves and then putting it on her face."She's really getting her hands in it.” To a hygiene-.conscious(注重卫生的)kindergarten,this could be a problem,but at Humpula daycare centre in Helsinki,children are encouraged to increase their contact with the microscopic biodiversity(微生物多样性).This kindergarten was included in a two-year study looking at how biodiversity enhancements affect the microbial composition of children's skin. The staff dug up and set up a giant live carpet of forest floor.The plants,dead wood and soil in the daycare centre were specially chosen for their rich micro-biodiversity.Children grow carrots,potatoes and cucumbers,harvesting and cooking what they plant. A year later,it found that children in contact with nature were less likely to develop immune--related(免疫相关的)illnesses..The results support the“old friends'”assumption that humans developed alongside microbes in air,plants and soil.The body can exchange useful microbes with the natural world to stay healthy.Without contact with these,immune function can become overactive,leadug to disease.Ihe kindergartens provide evidence of how crucial healthy ecosystems are to human health.Increasing biodiversity can be a win-win for children's health and the environment. Based on that,the University of Sheffield has done research on placing green screens around school playgrounds to prevent air pollution from harming children's health.Hunter's Bar infant school in Sheffield created a 70-metre-long fence of plants that goes around the playground. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)levels dropped by 13%within six months,with further decreases expected as the wall continues to grow. 38.What does the underlined word "this"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Guided hands-on practice. B.Kids'exposure to dirt and mud. C.Delicious homemade food for kids. D.The diversity of life forms in the garden. 39.What did the staff at Humpula daycare centre do? A.Rewild their kindergarten. B Grow a forest in the backyard C.Promote forest education among kids. D.Introduce kids to useful farming practices. 40.Why does nature contact reduce people's chance of getting sick? A.It improves their mood. B.It strengthens the ecosystem. C.It removes harmful microbes. D.It balances their immune system. 英语试题第6页共1】页 41.Why does the author mention the Sheffield study? A.To support green schools. B To give direction for further research. C.To promote healthy growth in school children. D.To show an application of the research finding. D We are constantly taught that acting early ensures success.Yet after years of studying originals,I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides.It's true the early bird gets the worm,but we can't forget the early worm gets caught. Recently,researcher Jihae Shin tested an unusual idea:procrastination()might improve originality.Shin asked participants to propose businesses for a college empty place left by a convenience store.When they started the task immediately,they always proposed ordinary ideas -like another convenience store.When Shin randomly asked some participants to play computer games before completing the task,they generated more creative ideas.Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity.Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task,you buy yourself time for divergent ()thinking rather than getting stuck with one strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity,but it can be a tool for creativity.Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution's efficiency fever(效率狂热)， In ancient Egypt,there were two different verbs for procrastination:one meant laziness;the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study,marketing researcher Peter Golder studied hundreds of brands () comparing pioneering companies to slower ones entering after pioneers created markets.The result was striking:pioneers failed at six times the rate of the latecomers. These latecomers are often regarded as copycats,but this misses the mark.Instead of meeting the existing demand,they wait until they're ready to introduce something new.They're often slow to enter because they're working on revolutionary products,services,or technologies.In home video-game handles,the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972,which featured basic sports games.A latecomer,Nintendo,acquired the Odyssey's distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by transforming gaming with a user-friendly controller,advanced characters,and interactive role-playing. 42.Which of the following best shows Shin's finding? A.No pain,no gain. B.More speed,less effect. C.The later,the better. D.Strike while the iron is hot. 43.What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A.To support a viewpoint. B.To introduce a practice. C.To promote a phenomenon. D.To correct a misunderstanding. 44.What plays a key role in latecomers'success based on Golder's findings? A.Mastering strategic timing. B.Breaking existing rules. C.Employing high technology. D Doing effective marketing. 英语试颗第7页共11页 45.Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A.Act Now:The Early Bird Principle! B.The War of Innovation:Pioneers VS.Latecomers. C.Unlocking Originality:Plcase Wait...a Moment. D The Secret to Success:Delaying or Not Delaying? 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。 The Hedgehog's Dilemma is a concept that explores the dilemma between the need for close relationships and the risk of emotional harm.German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day:they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other's quills ()They separate,only to feel the cold again,eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain.46 So that's the theory,but what does this look like in our everyday lives?47 But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future?Schopenhauer's advice would probably be "yes".48 For example,a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50%increased likelihood of survival.Additionally,the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. 49 Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood.While these defenses may provide short-term protection,they can block meaningful connections if they persist. In conclusion,the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships,even when we knov that weakness can lead to emotional pain.Unlike hedgehogs, humans don't have the quills.50 So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there's a chance we actually can have it all-the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt. A.However,modern research offers a different perspective. B This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature. C.Most of the defensive reactions originate from early erperiences. D.These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E.Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F.This reflects humans'struggle to balanee closeness and self-protection. C.We have the capability to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. 英语试题第8页共11页 第四部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a community music class,ten teenagers from eight different countries gathered with traditional instruments.My Spanish guitar stood beside Maria's Chinese erhu and Samuel's West African djembe.Our initial attempt to play together 51 a disordered mixture of conflicting scales (and rhythms,creating an atmosphere thick with 52.

Ms.Davies then helped 60 these elements together.The erhu's call became a question answered by the guitar's passion,supported by the djembe's steady rhythm.We didn't blend into uniformity;each sound remained 61,creating a global tapestry where every culture was highlighted.
