Andrea's creative roots stretch back to childhood.She remembers being fascinated by classics like The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross,where gentle landscapes unfolded in real time.Combined with the influence of 英语试卷·第3页（共9页） impressionist and surrealist masters,these early inspirations opened her eyes to the possibilities of color,form, and mood. Guided by devoted and incredibly supportive art teachers,Andrea fell for oil paint.Today,she views each canva()as an invitation-to push herself,to keep learning,and to refine her passion and makes her efforts worthwhile.Social platforms have helped her find community,connection,and a broader audience that resonate (共鸣)with her nature-driven style. For Andrea,the creating process is as important as the finished piece.She emphasizes how important it is"to not get too comfortable"when creating,and to challenge yourself,forcing a deeper dive into your own thought processes.It's this sense of personal growth that gives each painting its emotional resonance. Andrea's career continues to develop.She launched her website artbyandrearich.com recently and she will present an exhibition next spring at the Holland Area Arts Council in the Jane Armstrong Gallery.With characteristic optimism,she says,"The best is yet to come." For homeowners seeking artworks that bring peace,genuineness,and a touch of Michigan's natural beauty indoors,Andrea Rich is certainly an artist to turn to. 24.What made Andrea fall in love with oil paint?

O Scientists have discovered that many animals,including hermit crabs,rats,and fish,have distinct personalities.These animals show consistent behavioral differences over time and in various situations,just like dogs and cats,as pet owners know. But how do social situations affect individual personalities?University of Bristol biologist Christos C. Loannou and his colleagues sought to find out by turning to a small fish called the three-spined stickleback () which inhabits mildly salty coastal water throughout the Northern Hemisphere."They're found both as individuals and in social groups in the wild,"making them perfect for personality assessments (across different settings,Loannou says. The researchers took 80 fish and placed each under a protective cover at one end of a tank,with food at the opposite end.Crossing the tank to feed would seem risky to the sticklebacks because open water typically exposes them to the threat of danger. The researchers studied them over several days,observing that braver fish quickly left their shelter to get food,while shyer ones took longer to emerge and swam across the tank more cautiously.However,when 10 fish were placed together under a cover,individual personalities disappeared,with the braver fish acting as group 英语试卷·第4页（共9页） leaders,waiting for others to catch up."The first individuals come out quickly but wait when they realize they're not being followed,"Loannou explains.However,when separated from the group,the fish immediately returned to their original behaviors.These results,,showing how group dynamics(群体互动机制)influence individual characteristics,were published in Science Advances in September. The new findings suggest that group dynamic restrict individual personalities,and the researchers say it is the first time that such restriction has been clearly linked to an underlying cause:the need to conform rather than stick to their own ideas when faced with a risky decision. Animal personality researchers have historically focused on individuals while ignoring group behavior,and collective behavior researchers have focused on groups while downplaying()individual differences, according to University of St Andrews animal behavior researcher Mike Webster,who was not involved."This study brings those two research streams together,"showing that animal personalities are flexible yet consistent,he says. 28.What made sticklebacks chosen for the study? A.Coastal habitat. B.Safety awareness. C.Strong individuality. D.Social flexibility. 29.Which best describes the impact of group dynamics on individual personalities? A.Unpredictable. B.Short-term. C.Unclear D.Slight. 30.What does the underlined word"conform"mean in paragraph 5? A.Control. B.Choose. C.Follow. D.Escape. 31.What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph? A.It fills a gap in animal behavior research. B.It reveals the role of animal group behavior. C.It challenges adaptable animal personalities. D.It proves animal personalities disappear in groups. According to the Solar Energy Industry Association,the number of solar panels installed ()has grown rapidly in the past decade,and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals.But all of that growth will take up a lot of space,and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy,few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible,so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them.Often,they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds.The result is that many communities,especially in farming regions,see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. "Solar projects need to be good neighbors,"says Jordan Macknick,the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE)project."They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy."InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to"low-impact" solar development,which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss,pesticide use,and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades,which has damaged the U.S.agricultural economy.Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens,businesses,schools,cities-and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years,many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into 英语试卷·第5页（共9页） a shelter for various kinds of pollinators,resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction."These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape,"says Macknick. 32.What do solar developers often ignore? A.The decline in the demand for solar energy. B.The negative impact of installing solar panels. C.The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D.The most recent advances in solar technology. 33.What does InSPIRE aim to do? A.Improve the productivity of local farms. B.Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C.Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D.Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 34.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To conserve pollinators. B.To restrict solar development. C.To diversify the economy. D.To ensure the supply of energy. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Pollinators:To Leave or to Stay B.Solar Energy:Hope for the Future C.InSPIRE:A Leader in Agriculture D.Solar Farms:A New Development 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。 As an artist who shares her journey on social media,I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.Unfortunately,there is no magic list I can offer.I do remember,though,what it was like to be a complete beginner.So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey. .Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook (for small studies.These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future.36You'll want to look baek on your journey to see how far you've come. .Paint often and paint from life.There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.Whether you paint still lifes,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.37 .Continually challenge yourself to try something new.38 Artistic growth can be a bit painful.

I sat with my pencil over my paper.For a moment,I hesitated.I knew I didn't really have someone like that. Still,I lowered my head and began to write:My best friend is Hayley.She plays the cello ()like I do,and we go to orchestra (every Saturday.She makes people laugh,and whenever I feel nervous,she tells me, "You've got this."We've been best friends since fourth grade.I knew Hayley wasn't real,but it was easier than explaining why I didn't have a best friend. In fact,there was a girl in my orchestra class,Emily,who usually practiced the cello in the music room.Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold(握弓)after a rehearsal(排练)and gave me an encouraging smile.“You've got this,"she said softly.I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage,never showing the slightest impatience.We didn't talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation,but I couldn't forget her kindness.Without realizing it,I had borrowed pieces of her to create Hayley. At school,I didn't have real friends.My classmates were polite and kind,but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out.When I needed someone,I didn't know who to turn to.When loneliness came over,I would imagine someone like Emily beside me,her gentle voice offering encouragement.She was the friend I wished I could have. The next day,Ms.Garcia returned my essay with a bright red"A"."Hayley sounds wonderful!I've signed you and her up to perform a cello duo at next Friday's Cultural Festival."My heart skipped a beat.The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap.I was totally at a loss. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anxious,I decided to turn to Ms.Garcia.
