The National Gallery
Discover the collection
The Gallery as a national art museum displays one of the finest and most wide-ranging collections of European painting. It includes many famous works, such as Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velazquez’s Rokeby Venus, Turner’s Fighting Temeraire and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. All major traditions of Western European painting are represented from the artists of late medieval (中世纪的) and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists.
This plan will help you to explore the collection. You may wish to start by finding one of the famous paintings illustrated overleaf. You can also plan your route using the ArtStart touch-screen guides. Free guided tours and a variety of audio guides are available.
For further information, ask at Information Desks or pick up the What’s On and Book Now guides for full details of talks, tours and family events.
A public collection
The paintings in the National Gallery belong to the public and entrance to see them is free. The Gallery was founded in 1824, but it did not acquire its current home, designed by William Wilkins, until 1838. The site in Trafalgar Square was chosen for its central location, accessible to both the rich of West London and the poor communities of the East End. The building has been extended and improved over the years, most notably in 1991 with the opening of the Sainsbury Wing, designed by Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates. The Gallery continues to ensure that the widest possible public can enjoy the paintings.

For more than 30 years, Fang Beisong, an expert at repairing old objects at Jingzhou Museum, has worked to make ancient words on bamboo and wooden pieces readable again. These pieces are called jiandu.
One special moment came in 2015. While cleaning a bamboo piece from the Warring States Period, he found the words for “hold your hand and grow old with you”, a line from The Book of Songs. “I felt the light and warmth of our history and culture,” Fang recalled.
After finishing his studies in chemistry in 1988, Fang began working at the museum, using science for his love of history. He focuses on jiandu — things people wrote on before paper was used. In 2002, he faced a huge task — over 92,000 pieces from the Qin Dynasty were found in Hunan. He stayed in Changsha for nine years, working 12 hours a day to sort out and protect them.
Preserving jiandu is extremely difficult. They are made of natural materials and break down easily. Once unearthed, they quickly turn black in the air, making the writing unreadable. Fang’s repair work involves over 20 steps, with decoloring and dewatering being the most important. Decoloring brings back the original (原来的) color and keeps the words clear, while dewatering helps them leave the wet condition and stay steady for keeping. After years of trying, he found a good two-step way and won a national technology prize in 2019.
Each case is different. In 2020, his team worked on Han Dynasty bamboo pieces from a robbed tomb in Dingzhou. The pieces broke easily. They tried over 70 times to keep them together. Even though the writing was almost impossible to see, a special camera using infrared (红外线的) light showed the words clearly.
So far, Fang and his team have fixed over 100,000 pieces. “For things like these, once they are dug up, there’s only a short time to save them. I cannot stop — the faster I work, the more of our history I can save,” said Fang.
4. How did Fang feel when he saw the line from The Book of Songs?
A. Moved. B. Bored. C. Shocked. D. Confused.
5. What do we know about Fang’s work in Changsha after 2002?
A. He got a national award right after. B. He solved all preservation issues there.
C. He worked long hours to preserve jiandu. D. He went there to study Qin Dynasty history.
6. What does the underlined word “decoloring” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Washing the surface to remove dirt. B. Changing the color of jiandu.
C. Preventing jiandu from turning black. D. Recovering the true color.
7. What lesson can we learn from Fang’s story?
A. More haste, less speed. B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍荆州博物馆简牍修复专家方北松三十余年坚守岗位,以科学方法攻克修复难题,抢救逾十万枚简牍、守护历史文化的事迹。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“While cleaning a bamboo piece from the Warring States Period, he found the words for “hold your hand and grow old with you”, a line from The Book of Songs. “I felt the light and warmth of our history and culture,” Fang recalled.(在清理一枚战国时期的竹简时,他发现了《诗经》中“执子之手,与子偕老”的文字。方北松回忆道:“我感受到了我们历史文化的光芒与温暖。”)”可知,方北松看到这句诗经中的文字时,感受到了历史文化的光芒与温暖,内心受到了触动。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2002, he faced a huge task — over 92,000 pieces from the Qin Dynasty were found in Hunan. He stayed in Changsha for nine years, working 12 hours a day to sort out and protect them. (2002年,他迎来了一项艰巨的任务——湖南出土了九万两千多枚秦代简牍。他在长沙待了九年,每天工作十二个小时,对这些简牍进行整理和保护。)”可知,2002年后方北松在长沙为了整理和保护秦代简牍,度过了九年每天十二小时的工作时光。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Fang’s repair work involves over 20 steps, with decoloring and dewatering being the most important. Decoloring brings back the original (原来的) color and keeps the words clear, while dewatering helps them leave the wet condition and stay steady for keeping.(方北松的修复工作包含二十多个步骤,其中decoloring和脱水是最为重要的。Decoloring能恢复简牍原本的颜色,让文字保持清晰,而脱水能让简牍脱离潮湿状态,保持稳定以便保存。)”可知,简牍出土后会变黑,而decoloring是修复的关键步骤,且该步骤的作用是让简牍恢复原本的颜色、让文字清晰,结合“de-”的前缀含义及上下文的修复背景可知,该词的意思是“恢复事物的真实原本颜色”。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Preserving jiandu is extremely difficult. They are made of natural materials and break down easily. Once unearthed, they quickly turn black in the air, making the writing unreadable.(简牍的保护工作难度极大。它们由天然材料制成,极易损坏。一旦出土,在空气中会迅速变黑,导致文字无法辨认。)”和“After years of trying, he found a good two-step way and won a national technology prize in 2019.(经过多年的尝试,他研究出了一套有效的两步法修复方案,并在2019年获得了国家技术奖项。)”、第五段中的“In 2020, his team worked on Han Dynasty bamboo pieces from a robbed tomb in Dingzhou. The pieces broke easily. They tried over 70 times to keep them together.(2020年,他的团队修复定州一座被盗古墓出土的汉代竹简,这些竹简极易破碎,团队尝试了七十多次才将其拼接完整。)”以及第六段中的“So far, Fang and his team have fixed over 100,000 pieces.(到目前为止,方北松和他的团队已经修复了逾十万枚简牍。)”可知,方北松面对简牍修复的重重难题,始终坚持、反复尝试,最终攻克难关并取得丰硕成果,这印证了“有志者事竟成”的道理。故选D项。
C
It might not have been the first to have a touchscreen, but it was Tesla’s Model S, with its small cabin built around a huge full-color display, that set the trend. For years almost every new car sold has a high-tech, futuristic screen, which controls everything from the air-conditioning to the music.
But are touchscreens safe? The argument against them is simple. If using a smartphone while driving is dangerous, the same logic applies to a car’s screen. Physical buttons allow for eyes-off operation, but a touchscreen offers no physical feedback. And because a screen must do dozens of jobs, finding a particular setting often means tapping through several sub-menus. The result, say critics, is that drivers’ attention is divided.
Research backs that up. A 2022 test by Vi Bilagare, a Swedish magazine, timed drivers performing tasks like changing radio stations while driving at 110 km/h. It set 11 touchscreen cars against an older model with buttons. In the old car, drivers were able to do all tasks within about 10 seconds, during which time the car travelled around 300 metres. In the worst-performing modern car, the same tasks took 45 seconds, during which the car travelled 1. 4 km. Even in the best-performing models, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another 2020 analysis by Britain’s Transport Research Laboratory found touchscreens damaged reaction time more than driving over the legal alcohol limit.
Safety organizations begin to notice. From January, new rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars in Europe, will mean no car can get a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Therefore, carmakers, such as Volkswagen and Porsche, have begun restoring at least some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many carmakers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story.
8. Why does the author mention Tesla’s Model S?
A. To introduce a topic. B. To show its market success.
C. To compare it with older cars. D. To emphasize its technical lead.
9. Why do touchscreens divide drivers’ attention according to paragraph 2?
A. Their response is slow. B. Their operation is laborious.
C. Their feedback is rather confusing. D. Their settings are poorly organized.
10. What is the purpose of testing cars with buttons in the 2022 study?
A. To show their simple functions. B. To praise their safety technology.
C. To offer a performance reference. D. To recommend the old-style models.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Car Control: Touch or Voice B. Touchscreens: A Risky Trend
C. Car Buttons Make a Comeback D. New Rules Ensure Driving Safety
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍特斯拉引领车载大屏潮流,指出触屏操作分散注意力存安全隐患,研究证实其风险,欧洲出台新规,车企开始恢复物理按键。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It might not have been the first to have a touchscreen, but it was Tesla’s Model S, with its small cabin built around a huge full-color display, that set the trend. For years almost every new car sold has a high-tech, futuristic screen, which controls everything from the air-conditioning to the music.(它或许并非是首个配备触摸屏的车型,但正是特斯拉的Model S拥有其小巧的驾驶舱以及围绕着一个巨大全彩显示屏所打造的内饰,引领了这一潮流。多年来,几乎每款新售出的汽车都配备了高科技、极具未来感的屏幕,该屏幕能够控制从空调到音乐等一切功能)”结合下文对车载操作屏的进一步介绍可知,作者提及特斯拉的Model S型车是为了引入一个话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Physical buttons allow for eyes-off operation, but a touchscreen offers no physical feedback. And because a screen must do dozens of jobs, finding a particular setting often means tapping through several sub-menus.(物理按键能够实现无需看屏幕的操作,但触摸屏则无法提供任何物理反馈。而且由于屏幕需要承担众多功能,要找到某个特定设置往往需要在多个子菜单中反复点击)”可知,触摸屏会因为其操作过程较为繁琐而分散驾驶员的注意力。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It set 11 touchscreen cars against an older model with buttons. In the old car, drivers were able to do all tasks within about 10 seconds, during which time the car travelled around 300 metres. In the worst-performing modern car, the same tasks took 45 seconds, during which the car travelled 1. 4 km. Even in the best-performing models, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car.(它将11辆配备触摸屏的汽车与一款带有按钮的旧款汽车进行了对比测试。在旧款汽车中,驾驶员能够在大约10秒内完成所有操作,这段时间内汽车行驶了约300米。而在表现最差的现代汽车中,完成同样的操作需要45秒,这段时间内汽车行驶了1.4公里。即使在表现最好的车型中,测试人员所花费的时间也比旧款汽车长好几秒)”可知,在2022年的这项研究中,使用带有按钮的汽车进行测试的目的是为性能提供参考依据。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It might not have been the first to have a touchscreen, but it was Tesla’s Model S, with its small cabin built around a huge full-color display, that set the trend. For years almost every new car sold has a high-tech, futuristic screen, which controls everything from the air-conditioning to the music.(它或许并非是首个配备触摸屏的车型,但正是特斯拉的Model S拥有其小巧的驾驶舱以及围绕着一个巨大全彩显示屏所打造的内饰,引领了这一潮流。多年来,几乎每款新售出的汽车都配备了高科技、极具未来感的屏幕,该屏幕能够控制从空调到音乐等一切功能)”结合文章介绍特斯拉引领车载大屏潮流,指出触屏操作分散注意力存安全隐患,研究证实其风险,欧洲出台新规,车企开始恢复物理按键。可知,B选项“触摸屏:一种有风险的趋势”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
In a world that feels increasingly complex and uncontrollable, a revolutionary psychological approach has attracted millions. Known as the “Let Them” theory, this concept, popularized by Mel Robbins in 2024, has since gone viral, gaining over 15 million views. The theory encourages a powerful form of acceptance, urging us to focus on our reactions and inner states rather than trying to control others or the outside, or what we call external world.
Adopting the “Let Them” method can bring several psychological benefits. Primarily, it lowers stress and anxiety by reducing the effort spent on trying to manage the uncontrollable. In relationships, this approach can lessen conflict and build mutual respect, as it supports personal autonomy (自主) and self-control. The core of the theory is self-improvement and personal choice, which leads to healthier and more balanced connections with others.
So, what happens in your mind when you practice “Let Them”? First, you quickly reduce the internal struggle that comes from fighting against reality. Instead of thinking, “This shouldn’t be happening,” you start asking, “This is happening, so what should I do now?” or “What is the best way for me to respond to this situation?” This change in thinking calms the body’s stress response. In professional psychology, this is known as “radical acceptance,” a skill for tolerating suffering. Therapies (治疗) based on acceptance can greatly decrease psychological stress and worry.
Furthermore, allowing others to have their autonomy can improve how relationships work. It reduces defensiveness and increases mutual respect. When you consciously give up trying to control others, you create space for them to change voluntarily. Most people value feeling trusted and respected in their relationships. This shift in perspective reduces feelings of being pressured, trapped, and resentful (怨恨的). When individuals feel supported and empowered to make their own suitable decisions, they often feel closer and more open to others.
12. What does the “Let Them” theory encourage us to do?
A. Prioritize how to respond. B. Overlook the external world.
C. Embrace the increasing complexity. D. Stay focused despite difficulties.
13. How does the application of “Let Them” benefit relationships?
A. To build mutual respect. B. To limit personal autonomy.
C. To push others to change. D. To erase all negative feelings.
14. What is the impact of radical acceptance?
A. Giving in to suffering. B. Strengthening stress response.
C. Resisting rough realities. D. Embracing what has happened.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To clarify a popular psychological theory.
B. To persuade people to stop controlling others.
C. To explain how a theory became popular online.
D. To compare different methods of stress management.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。全文依次介绍“Let Them”理论的定义、心理益处、思维机制和对人际关系的作用,核心是阐释该心理学理论,而非单纯讲走红原因、劝说或对比方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The theory encourages a powerful form of acceptance, urging us to focus on our reactions and inner states rather than trying to control others or the outside, or what we call external world.(该理论倡导一种强有力的态度——即接纳。它鼓励我们关注自身的反应和内心状态,而非试图去控制他人、外部事物或者我们所谓的外部世界)”可知,“让他们去做”这一理论鼓励我们优先考虑如何做出回应。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In relationships, this approach can lessen conflict and build mutual respect, as it supports personal autonomy (自主) and self-control.(在人际关系中,这种做法能够减少冲突并增进彼此的尊重,因为它支持个人的自主性和自我控制能力)”可知,“随它去”这一方法有助于建立相互尊重。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of thinking, “This shouldn’t be happening,” you start asking, “This is happening, so what should I do now?” or “What is the best way for me to respond to this situation?” This change in thinking calms the body’s stress response. In professional psychology, this is known as “radical acceptance,” a skill for tolerating suffering.(你不再会想“这不该发生”,而是会开始思考“这已经发生了,那我现在应该怎么做?”或者“对于这种情况,我最好的应对方式是什么?”这种思维方式的转变能够平复身体的应激反应。在心理学领域,这种转变被称为“彻底接受”,是一种应对痛苦的技能)”可知,彻底接纳的影响是接受已经发生的事情。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合根据第一段“Known as the “Let Them” theory, this concept, popularized by Mel Robbins in 2024, has since gone viral, gaining over 15 million views. The theory encourages a powerful form of acceptance, urging us to focus on our reactions and inner states rather than trying to control others or the outside, or what we call external world.(这一理论被称为“放手让他们去做”理论,由梅尔·罗宾斯于2024年推广,此后迅速走红,获得了超过1500万次的观看量。该理论倡导一种强有力的态度——即接纳。它鼓励我们关注自身的反应和内心状态,而非试图去控制他人、外部事物或者我们所谓的外部世界)”可知,文章依次介绍“Let Them”理论的定义、心理益处、思维机制和对人际关系的作用,核心是阐释该心理学理论,而非单纯讲走红原因、劝说或对比方法。由此推测,这篇文章的主要目的是阐明一项广为人知的心理学理论。故选A。
第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique. It involves explaining what you’re learning to others. By teaching what you’ve learned from memory, you engage in active recall. ____16____ It also ensures that you understand the topic, because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it. The technique consists of four repeatable steps.
To begin with, choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand. ____17____ The more interested you are, the faster you’ll grasp it. Moreover, a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and engaged.
____18____ Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old. If you’d rather avoid actually teaching someone, you can just teach it to an imaginary audience. But it works much better if you use a real person. They’ll be able to let you know when something isn’t clear.
While teaching you may discover gaps in your understanding. ____19____ Review your notes, reread books, or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward.
Now that you fully grasp the concept, test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person. This will help you identify any remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit.
The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn. ____20____ You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else. However, with great efforts in mastering this method, you’ll see your learning results improve quicker than ever before.
A. It is mentally demanding.
B. This helps the information stick in your mind better.
C. Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning.
D. Teach it to a five-year-old, who would give you direct feedback.
E. Once you have chosen a topic, you can teach it to someone else.
F. Active engagement plays a key role in promoting deeper learning.
G. When this happens, refer back to the original material for the missing pieces.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了物理学家和诺贝尔奖得主理查德·费曼所开发的一种聪明的学习方法——费曼技巧,并详细阐述了这一技巧的四个可重复的步骤及其背后的原理。
【16题详解】
空前“By teaching what you’ve learned from memory, you engage in active recall.(通过凭记忆教授所学知识,你会进行主动回忆。)”指出主动回忆这一行为。选项B“This helps the information stick in your mind better.(这有助于信息更好地留在你的脑海中。)”延续上文内容,进一步说明主动回忆的效果,与后文“It also ensures that you understand the topic(它还能确保你理解这个主题)”形成并列的“效果递进”逻辑。故选B。
【17题详解】
空后“The more interested you are, the faster you’ll grasp it.(你越感兴趣,掌握得就越快。)”强调了兴趣和学习速度的关系。选项C“Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning.(你对它的好奇心将决定你的学习速度。)”中的“curiosity”对应下文的“interested”、“pace of your learning”对应下文的“the faster you’ll grasp it”,通过好奇心决定学习速度解释选择感兴趣主题的原因,形成因果衔接。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“To begin with, choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand.(首先,选择一个你希望完全理解的概念或主题。)”提出选择主题的步骤。选项E“Once you have chosen a topic, you can teach it to someone else.(一旦你选择了一个主题,就把它教给别人。)”承接前一步骤,引出“teach it to someone else”的下一步动作,后文“Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old.(写下笔记,并以一种五岁孩子都能理解的方式解释它。)”是对“teach”的具体展开,形成“选择→教学”的流程顺序。故选E。
【19题详解】
空前“While teaching you may discover gaps in your understanding.(在教学过程中,你可能会发现自己理解上的漏洞。)”指出发现理解漏洞的问题。选项G“When this happens, refer back to the original material for the missing pieces.(当这种情况发生时,参考原始材料来寻找缺失的部分。)”提出解决方案,与下文“Review your notes, reread books, or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward.(复习你的笔记,重新阅读书籍,或寻求外部帮助,以确保你在继续学习之前对内容有完整的理解。)”形成动作呼应,逻辑上是“问题→解决”的承接。故选G。
【20题详解】
空后“You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else.(你需要积极思考问题,而不是被动地阅读或听别人讲。)”强调主动思考的必要性。选项A“It is mentally demanding.(它需要脑力投入。)”引出后句对主动学习的要求,并与“passively”形成对比,逻辑上承上启下,解释费曼技巧“有效但需努力”的特点。故选A。

第四部分 写作
56. 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。
When David signed up for Ms. Sandra’s “Endangered Traditions” class at Willow High, he didn’t expect this class to be about saving history. Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.”
The students fell silent, realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully.
For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little.
One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.”
A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic.
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。
David and his classmates quickly got to work.

The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
David and his classmates quickly got to work. They spent days practicing the skill, determined to perfect it for the exhibition. David, who was in charge of organizing, contacted local media and invited community members. He knew that if they could show the beauty and history of su filindeu, people would appreciate it. On the day of the exhibition, the students demonstrated the process, explaining its significance. Many visitors were amazed by the skill, realizing that traditions like this should not be lost.
The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. She announced that the school board had decided to keep the class after seeing the positive response from the exhibition. “You’ve shown everyone the value of preserving traditions,” she said proudly. David and his classmates cheered, feeling a sense of accomplishment. They knew that their hard work had made a difference and that they had played a part in saving a piece of history.

For more than 30 years, Fang Beisong, an expert at repairing old objects at Jingzhou Museum, has worked to make ancient words on bamboo and wooden pieces readable again. These pieces are called jiandu.
One special moment came in 2015. While cleaning a bamboo piece from the Warring States Period, he found the words for “hold your hand and grow old with you”, a line from The Book of Songs. “I felt the light and warmth of our history and culture,” Fang recalled.
After finishing his studies in chemistry in 1988, Fang began working at the museum, using science for his love of history. He focuses on jiandu — things people wrote on before paper was used. In 2002, he faced a huge task — over 92,000 pieces from the Qin Dynasty were found in Hunan. He stayed in Changsha for nine years, working 12 hours a day to sort out and protect them.
Preserving jiandu is extremely difficult. They are made of natural materials and break down easily. Once unearthed, they quickly turn black in the air, making the writing unreadable. Fang’s repair work involves over 20 steps, with decoloring and dewatering being the most important. Decoloring brings back the original (原来的) color and keeps the words clear, while dewatering helps them leave the wet condition and stay steady for keeping. After years of trying, he found a good two-step way and won a national technology prize in 2019.
Each case is different. In 2020, his team worked on Han Dynasty bamboo pieces from a robbed tomb in Dingzhou. The pieces broke easily. They tried over 70 times to keep them together. Even though the writing was almost impossible to see, a special camera using infrared (红外线的) light showed the words clearly.
So far, Fang and his team have fixed over 100,000 pieces. “For things like these, once they are dug up, there’s only a short time to save them. I cannot stop — the faster I work, the more of our history I can save,” said Fang.
4. How did Fang feel when he saw the line from The Book of Songs?
A. Moved. B. Bored. C. Shocked. D. Confused.
5. What do we know about Fang’s work in Changsha after 2002?
A. He got a national award right after. B. He solved all preservation issues there.
C. He worked long hours to preserve jiandu. D. He went there to study Qin Dynasty history.
6. What does the underlined word “decoloring” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Washing the surface to remove dirt. B. Changing the color of jiandu.
C. Preventing jiandu from turning black. D. Recovering the true color.
7. What lesson can we learn from Fang’s story?
A. More haste, less speed. B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C
It might not have been the first to have a touchscreen, but it was Tesla’s Model S, with its small cabin built around a huge full-color display, that set the trend. For years almost every new car sold has a high-tech, futuristic screen, which controls everything from the air-conditioning to the music.
But are touchscreens safe? The argument against them is simple. If using a smartphone while driving is dangerous, the same logic applies to a car’s screen. Physical buttons allow for eyes-off operation, but a touchscreen offers no physical feedback. And because a screen must do dozens of jobs, finding a particular setting often means tapping through several sub-menus. The result, say critics, is that drivers’ attention is divided.
Research backs that up. A 2022 test by Vi Bilagare, a Swedish magazine, timed drivers performing tasks like changing radio stations while driving at 110 km/h. It set 11 touchscreen cars against an older model with buttons. In the old car, drivers were able to do all tasks within about 10 seconds, during which time the car travelled around 300 metres. In the worst-performing modern car, the same tasks took 45 seconds, during which the car travelled 1. 4 km. Even in the best-performing models, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another 2020 analysis by Britain’s Transport Research Laboratory found touchscreens damaged reaction time more than driving over the legal alcohol limit.
Safety organizations begin to notice. From January, new rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars in Europe, will mean no car can get a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Therefore, carmakers, such as Volkswagen and Porsche, have begun restoring at least some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many carmakers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story.
8. Why does the author mention Tesla’s Model S?
A. To introduce a topic. B. To show its market success.
C. To compare it with older cars. D. To emphasize its technical lead.
9. Why do touchscreens divide drivers’ attention according to paragraph 2?
A. Their response is slow. B. Their operation is laborious.
C. Their feedback is rather confusing. D. Their settings are poorly organized.
10. What is the purpose of testing cars with buttons in the 2022 study?
A. To show their simple functions. B. To praise their safety technology.
C. To offer a performance reference. D. To recommend the old-style models.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Car Control: Touch or Voice B. Touchscreens: A Risky Trend
C. Car Buttons Make a Comeback D. New Rules Ensure Driving Safety
D
In a world that feels increasingly complex and uncontrollable, a revolutionary psychological approach has attracted millions. Known as the “Let Them” theory, this concept, popularized by Mel Robbins in 2024, has since gone viral, gaining over 15 million views. The theory encourages a powerful form of acceptance, urging us to focus on our reactions and inner states rather than trying to control others or the outside, or what we call external world.
Adopting the “Let Them” method can bring several psychological benefits. Primarily, it lowers stress and anxiety by reducing the effort spent on trying to manage the uncontrollable. In relationships, this approach can lessen conflict and build mutual respect, as it supports personal autonomy (自主) and self-control. The core of the theory is self-improvement and personal choice, which leads to healthier and more balanced connections with others.
So, what happens in your mind when you practice “Let Them”? First, you quickly reduce the internal struggle that comes from fighting against reality. Instead of thinking, “This shouldn’t be happening,” you start asking, “This is happening, so what should I do now?” or “What is the best way for me to respond to this situation?” This change in thinking calms the body’s stress response. In professional psychology, this is known as “radical acceptance,” a skill for tolerating suffering. Therapies (治疗) based on acceptance can greatly decrease psychological stress and worry.
Furthermore, allowing others to have their autonomy can improve how relationships work. It reduces defensiveness and increases mutual respect. When you consciously give up trying to control others, you create space for them to change voluntarily. Most people value feeling trusted and respected in their relationships. This shift in perspective reduces feelings of being pressured, trapped, and resentful (怨恨的). When individuals feel supported and empowered to make their own suitable decisions, they often feel closer and more open to others.
12. What does the “Let Them” theory encourage us to do?
A. Prioritize how to respond. B. Overlook the external world.
C. Embrace the increasing complexity. D. Stay focused despite difficulties.
13. How does the application of “Let Them” benefit relationships?
A. To build mutual respect. B. To limit personal autonomy.
C. To push others to change. D. To erase all negative feelings.
14. What is the impact of radical acceptance?
A. Giving in to suffering. B. Strengthening stress response.
C. Resisting rough realities. D. Embracing what has happened.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To clarify a popular psychological theory.
B. To persuade people to stop controlling others.
C. To explain how a theory became popular online.
D. To compare different methods of stress management.

Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique. It involves explaining what you’re learning to others. By teaching what you’ve learned from memory, you engage in active recall. ____16____ It also ensures that you understand the topic, because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it. The technique consists of four repeatable steps.
To begin with, choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand. ____17____ The more interested you are, the faster you’ll grasp it. Moreover, a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and engaged.
____18____ Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old. If you’d rather avoid actually teaching someone, you can just teach it to an imaginary audience. But it works much better if you use a real person. They’ll be able to let you know when something isn’t clear.
While teaching you may discover gaps in your understanding. ____19____ Review your notes, reread books, or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward.
Now that you fully grasp the concept, test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person. This will help you identify any remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit.
The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn. ____20____ You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else. However, with great efforts in mastering this method, you’ll see your learning results improve quicker than ever before.
A. It is mentally demanding.
B. This helps the information stick in your mind better.
C. Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning.
D. Teach it to a five-year-old, who would give you direct feedback.
E. Once you have chosen a topic, you can teach it to someone else.
F. Active engagement plays a key role in promoting deeper learning.
G. When this happens, refer back to the original material for the missing pieces.

第四部分 写作
56. 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。
When David signed up for Ms. Sandra’s “Endangered Traditions” class at Willow High, he didn’t expect this class to be about saving history. Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.”
The students fell silent, realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully.
For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little.
One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.”
A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic.
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。
David and his classmates quickly got to work.
