A
While artistic expression develops in countless forms, artists are still pushing boundaries. The new year has brought a host of exciting and inventive exhibitions, including — but not limited to — the following four:
The Space Between
Monty, Rome| Artist: Gwen Evans
Medium: Painting
Introduction: The artist turns domestic scenes into dreamy paintings to create a familiar and strange feeling. She shows it by painting everyday activities with unexpected changes or mysterious figures.
Figure in the Field
Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York
Type: Group Exhibition
Introduction: “Figure in the Field” brings together nine artists who see background as an active part of the image. The exhibition shows how each of them negotiates the relationship between figure and field differently.
Kaleidoscope
THEFOURTH, Cape Town| Artist: Sera Holland| Medium: Mix-medium Painting Introduction: The artist applies thick paint layers, viewing paint as a material that can be built up in three dimensions. Her “Tapestry” works use weaving (编织) logic, making abstract images with thread-like marks like cloth.
All Fall Down
Francesco Pantaleone, Palermo, Italy
Artists: Concetta Modica and Ignazio
Mortellaro| Medium: Sculpture
Introduction: In “All Fall Down”, the works — placed on the floor or leaning against the walls — appear about to fall at any moment. Their placement presents a sense of unstable balance, creating a dangerous yet beautiful tension.
Shared Themes:
◎Challenging insight — Pushing boundaries (real vs. surreal, 2D vs. 3D)
◎Reinterpreting materials and space through form and placement
21. What influences Sera Holland’s art creation?

Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us.
Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language.
Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language.
However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship.
I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path.
My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life.
24. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience?
A. He liked the colorful covers of books.
B. He preferred to read with great passion.
C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents.
D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books.
25. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language?
A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst.
C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice.
26. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal?
A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments.
C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions.
27. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life.
B. He will go on pursuing the art of language.
C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices.
D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness.
C
As heatwaves grow more intense and frequent due to climate change, cities — significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas — are on the front line. The search for solutions has led researchers to a surprisingly simple and ancient technology: paint. Specifically, painting buildings and infrastructure with highly reflective “cool” coatings.
These coatings work by reflecting a large portion of sunlight, particularly the invisible near-infrared spectrum (近红外光谱), which carries about half of the sun’s heat. Unlike conventional dark surfaces that absorb up to 90% of solar radiation, cool paints can reflect over 90% of sunlight. This dramatically reduces heat absorption and re-emission, directly lessening the urban heat island effect.
Studies have measured the potential benefits. Research from University College London modeled that increasing the reflectivity of walls and roofs across London could lower the city’s peak summer temperatures by up to 2°C. While this may seem modest, on a city-wide scale, it could reduce heat-related illnesses and deaths significantly, along with lower energy demand for air conditioning.
However, challenges remain. Dirt and weathering can reduce reflectivity over time, requiring maintenance. There are also concerns about “winter penalties” in colder climates, where the reduced solar heat gain in winter might increase heating costs. Perhaps the most debated issue is glare — the potential for intensely reflective surfaces to create visual discomfort for pedestrians and drivers, or even to affect nearby buildings.
To address these limitations, innovation is advancing toward next-generation materials. Scientists are developing advanced pigments (色素) that allow for darker, non-white colors while still maintaining high infrared reflectivity. This offers greater architectural flexibility and public acceptance. Meanwhile, other research focuses on durable, self-cleaning coatings that can maintain their performance for years.
Pilot projects around the world are putting theory into practice. Cities like Los Angeles and Athens have required cool roofs on new buildings for years, and initiatives are now expanding to include walls and even streets. In Hyderabad, workers have painted over 1, 000 low-income tin-roofed homes with solar-reflective paint, providing measurable relief to residents.
“The beauty of this solution lies in its simplicity and flexibility,” says Dr. Anna Brown, an urban climate scientist involved in several cool-surface projects. “It’s not the only tool we need, but a highly effective one that can be applied quickly and at a relatively low cost.”
28. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. Solar radiation absorption. B. The technique of cool paints.
C. High infrared reflectivity. D. The urban heat island effect.
29. What do “winter penalties” refer to?
A. Higher heating costs from less warmth. B. Increased dirt and reduced reflectivity.
C. Glare-related accidents during winter. D. Maintenance fees due to winter weather.
30. What will most probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. The harm of the urban heat island effect on climate.
B. More grounded research on near-infrared spectrum.
C. Ways to further promote the cool coating solution.
D. Limitations of cool coatings compared to benefits.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cool Coatings: An Answer to Urban Heat.
B. How Cities Face Threats from Climate Change.
C. Paint the City Cool: A Solution to Heatwaves.
D. How Reflective Surfaces Change Urban Planning.
D
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the payoffs are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussions regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and many-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
32. What do the gray wolf abundance models serve to do?
A. Help protect the gray wolves.
B. Make exact population counts.
C. Set reasonable hunting quotas.
D. Find causes of species decline.
33. What does the underlined word “definitive” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Final and perfect.
B. Practical and useful.
C. Limited and imperfect.
D. Creative and detailed.
34. Why is the history of atomism mentioned in paragraph 6?
A. To recall a breakthrough experiment.
B. To show disagreement harms science.
C. To prove science is an ongoing process.
D. To explain quantum physics’ importance.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Science needs strict public scrutiny.
B. Scientists focus on different research goals.
C. Healthy disagreement pushes science forward.
D. Real science is not as romanticized as imagined.

The ability to solve problems and think analytically is very important. This is the same reason why today’s children require problem-solving skills for their future development. In this quickly developing world, every child should do much more than simply state some repeated list of facts. ____36____ We can develop these skills through proper activities for young learners.
Encourage children to think differently
You can introduce different objects such as clothes and curtains and let the child contemplate (思考) them and their usages. ____37____ For students of grades 4 and 5, this can be a full-scale activity. Remember to acknowledge the students who have come up with the best ideas in the class and present them with a warm round of applause. This is a perfect activity in order to enhance the out-of-the-box thinking ability of the whole class.
____38____
You start this activity by introducing some problems to students and giving them enough time to process them so that they can come up with multiple solutions (at least more than two) for the same problem. You should assign the problem according to the student’s grade. Furthermore, you can try a cooperative approach by assigning students to small groups. For middle school students, you can assign them a bit tougher challenge. ____39____ The best part about choosing the topics is that children can try to find practical solutions to these real-life challenges.
Conduct proper brainstorming sessions
Another effective process through which you can cultivate the problem-solving ability of students is by introducing brainstorming activities in online homeschools. ____40____ For example, you can ask students to share ideas about real-life conflicts.

Sophia was a 16-year-old girl who had a great passion for painting. Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair.
Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble.
At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out.
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。
The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look.

Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us.
Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language.
Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language.
However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship.
I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path.
My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life.
24. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience?
A. He liked the colorful covers of books.
B. He preferred to read with great passion.
C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents.
D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books.
25. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language?
A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst.
C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice.
26. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal?
A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments.
C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions.
27. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life.
B. He will go on pursuing the art of language.
C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices.
D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B

As heatwaves grow more intense and frequent due to climate change, cities — significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas — are on the front line. The search for solutions has led researchers to a surprisingly simple and ancient technology: paint. Specifically, painting buildings and infrastructure with highly reflective “cool” coatings.
These coatings work by reflecting a large portion of sunlight, particularly the invisible near-infrared spectrum (近红外光谱), which carries about half of the sun’s heat. Unlike conventional dark surfaces that absorb up to 90% of solar radiation, cool paints can reflect over 90% of sunlight. This dramatically reduces heat absorption and re-emission, directly lessening the urban heat island effect.
Studies have measured the potential benefits. Research from University College London modeled that increasing the reflectivity of walls and roofs across London could lower the city’s peak summer temperatures by up to 2°C. While this may seem modest, on a city-wide scale, it could reduce heat-related illnesses and deaths significantly, along with lower energy demand for air conditioning.
However, challenges remain. Dirt and weathering can reduce reflectivity over time, requiring maintenance. There are also concerns about “winter penalties” in colder climates, where the reduced solar heat gain in winter might increase heating costs. Perhaps the most debated issue is glare — the potential for intensely reflective surfaces to create visual discomfort for pedestrians and drivers, or even to affect nearby buildings.
To address these limitations, innovation is advancing toward next-generation materials. Scientists are developing advanced pigments (色素) that allow for darker, non-white colors while still maintaining high infrared reflectivity. This offers greater architectural flexibility and public acceptance. Meanwhile, other research focuses on durable, self-cleaning coatings that can maintain their performance for years.
Pilot projects around the world are putting theory into practice. Cities like Los Angeles and Athens have required cool roofs on new buildings for years, and initiatives are now expanding to include walls and even streets. In Hyderabad, workers have painted over 1, 000 low-income tin-roofed homes with solar-reflective paint, providing measurable relief to residents.
“The beauty of this solution lies in its simplicity and flexibility,” says Dr. Anna Brown, an urban climate scientist involved in several cool-surface projects. “It’s not the only tool we need, but a highly effective one that can be applied quickly and at a relatively low cost.”
28. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. Solar radiation absorption. B. The technique of cool paints.
C. High infrared reflectivity. D. The urban heat island effect.
29. What do “winter penalties” refer to?
A. Higher heating costs from less warmth. B. Increased dirt and reduced reflectivity.
C. Glare-related accidents during winter. D. Maintenance fees due to winter weather.
30. What will most probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. The harm of the urban heat island effect on climate.
B. More grounded research on near-infrared spectrum.
C. Ways to further promote the cool coating solution.
D. Limitations of cool coatings compared to benefits.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cool Coatings: An Answer to Urban Heat.
B. How Cities Face Threats from Climate Change.
C. Paint the City Cool: A Solution to Heatwaves.
D. How Reflective Surfaces Change Urban Planning.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕高反射性“清凉涂料”展开,介绍了其应对城市热岛效应、缓解热浪的原理、实际降温效果、现存问题、技术改进方向以及全球试点应用情况,指出这种简单低成本的涂料是缓解城市高温问题的高效手段。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“These coatings work by reflecting a large portion of sunlight, particularly the invisible near-infrared spectrum (近红外光谱), which carries about half of the sun’s heat. Unlike conventional dark surfaces that absorb up to 90% of solar radiation, cool paints can reflect over 90% of sunlight. This dramatically reduces heat absorption and re-emission, directly lessening the urban heat island effect.( 这些涂层通过反射大部分阳光来发挥作用,尤其是不可见的近红外光谱—— 这部分光线携带了太阳约一半的热量。传统的深色表面会吸收高达90% 的太阳辐射,与之不同,清凉涂料可以反射超过90%的阳光。这大幅减少了热量的吸收和二次辐射,直接缓解了城市热岛效应。)”可知,第二段主要介绍了清凉涂料的工作原理与技术特点。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“in colder climates, where the reduced solar heat gain in winter might increase heating costs”可知,寒冷气候下,清凉涂料反射阳光导致冬季吸收的太阳热量减少,进而增加供暖成本,这就是“冬季弊端”。由此可知,winter penalties意为“冬季弊端”。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The beauty of this solution lies in its simplicity and flexibility,” says Dr. Anna Brown, an urban climate scientist involved in several cool-surface projects. “It’s not the only tool we need, but a highly effective one that can be applied quickly and at a relatively low cost.”(参与多个清凉表面项目的城市气候科学家安娜・布朗博士表示:“这种解决方案的妙处在于它的简便性和灵活性。它并非我们需要的唯一办法,却是一种高效、可快速推广且成本相对较低的手段。”)”可推知,下文最可能继续围绕如何进一步推广、落实清凉涂料方案展开。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“As heatwaves grow more intense and frequent due to climate change, cities — significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas — are on the front line. The search for solutions has led researchers to a surprisingly simple and ancient technology: paint. Specifically, painting buildings and infrastructure with highly reflective “cool” coatings.(由于气候变化,热浪变得愈发猛烈且频繁,比周边农村地区气温明显更高的城市首当其冲。在寻找解决方案的过程中,研究人员找到了一种出人意料地简单又古老的技术:涂料。具体来说,就是在建筑物和基础设施上涂刷高反射性的 “清凉”涂层。)”可知,全文核心说明对象是cool coatings(清凉涂料),其核心功能是缓解城市高温、应对热浪。A 项“Cool Coatings: An Answer to Urban Heat.(清凉涂料:应对城市高温的良方。)”精准概括主体与作用,最适合做标题。
D
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the payoffs are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussions regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and many-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
32. What do the gray wolf abundance models serve to do?
A. Help protect the gray wolves.
B. Make exact population counts.
C. Set reasonable hunting quotas.
D. Find causes of species decline.
33. What does the underlined word “definitive” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Final and perfect.
B. Practical and useful.
C. Limited and imperfect.
D. Creative and detailed.
34. Why is the history of atomism mentioned in paragraph 6?
A. To recall a breakthrough experiment.
B. To show disagreement harms science.
C. To prove science is an ongoing process.
D. To explain quantum physics’ importance.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Science needs strict public scrutiny.
B. Scientists focus on different research goals.
C. Healthy disagreement pushes science forward.
D. Real science is not as romanticized as imagined.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了真实科学并非如想象般完美浪漫,而是多面且持续发展的。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.(生态学家建立模型,估算美国蒙大拿州的灰狼种群数量。想要逐一找到并统计所有灰狼并不现实。种群数量模型虽无法做到百分百精准,但其估算结果足以用来设定捕猎限额、维护生态平衡)”可知,灰狼数量模型有助于设定合理的捕猎限额。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.(科学是一个社会过程,在这个过程中,社区的监督确保我们拥有最好的可用知识。“最佳可用”并不意味着“definitive”,而是指在我们找到如何改进它之前我们所拥有的最好的知识)”可知,科学是一个不断发展的过程,社区的监督确保我们拥有最好的可用知识,但“最佳可用”并不意味着最终和完美的。因此,definitive在此处的意思应为“最终和完美的”。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone.(原子论的悠久历史表明,科学是一个过程,而不是一个快速产出,一成不变的结果)”可知,本段提到原子论的历史是为了证明科学是一个持续发展的过程。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.(这种对科学的浪漫化描绘在很长一段时间里都是标准的。但这与事实相去甚远)”以及最后一段中“So, real science is a collective, imperfect and many-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.(因此,真正的科学是一个集体、不完美和多面的过程,在这个过程中,科学家为复杂多样的问题提供多种且往往是部分的解决方案)”可知,文章主要讲述了真实科学并非如想象般完美浪漫,而是多面且持续发展的。
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 ability to solve problems and think analytically is very important. This is the same reason why today’s children require problem-solving skills for their future development. In this quickly developing world, every child should do much more than simply state some repeated list of facts. ____36____ We can develop these skills through proper activities for young learners.
Encourage children to think differently
You can introduce different objects such as clothes and curtains and let the child contemplate (思考) them and their usages. ____37____ For students of grades 4 and 5, this can be a full-scale activity. Remember to acknowledge the students who have come up with the best ideas in the class and present them with a warm round of applause. This is a perfect activity in order to enhance the out-of-the-box thinking ability of the whole class.
____38____
You start this activity by introducing some problems to students and giving them enough time to process them so that they can come up with multiple solutions (at least more than two) for the same problem. You should assign the problem according to the student’s grade. Furthermore, you can try a cooperative approach by assigning students to small groups. For middle school students, you can assign them a bit tougher challenge. ____39____ The best part about choosing the topics is that children can try to find practical solutions to these real-life challenges.
Conduct proper brainstorming sessions
Another effective process through which you can cultivate the problem-solving ability of students is by introducing brainstorming activities in online homeschools. ____40____ For example, you can ask students to share ideas about real-life conflicts. You can also invite them to think about alternative endings for specific events. According to their level of understanding, ask them to explain their thoughts in detail.
A. Organize small group activities
B. Design activities involving multiple solutions

【答案】36. E 37. F 38. B 39. G 40. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要论述了培养孩子解决问题和分析思考能力的重要性,并介绍了一些培养这些能力的活动。
【36题详解】
上文“In this quickly developing world, every child should do much more than simply state some repeated list of facts.(在这个飞速发展的世界里,每个孩子需要做到的,绝不能只是简单背诵一连串重复的知识点。)”指出孩子不应只机械背诵罗列事实,空格处需要承接上文,说明孩子真正需要具备的能力;下文“We can develop these skills through proper activities for young learners.(我们可以通过适合低龄学习者的趣味活动来培养这些能力。)”中these skills为关键指代,正好对应 E选项中的think critically and solve problems。E选项“他们应该具备批判性思考和解决问题的能力。”符合语境。
【37题详解】
上文“You can introduce different objects such as clothes and curtains and let the child contemplate (思考) them and their usages.(你可以拿出衣物、窗帘等各类物品,让孩子思考这些物品本身及其用途。)” 提到展示物品、让孩子思考物品用途,F选项“你也可以让一些孩子演示如何使用这些物品。”中also表并列的递进,their objects复现上文different objects,延续“探究物品用途”的活动内容。
【38题详解】
空处为段落小标题。根据下文“You start this activity by introducing some problems to students and giving them enough time to process them so that they can come up with multiple solutions (at least more than two) for the same problem. (开展这项活动时,先向学生抛出各类问题,给予充足时间思考,让他们针对同一个问题想出多种解决办法(至少两种以上)。)”可知,本段围绕“同一问题寻找多种解法”的核心,下文中的multiple solutions与B选项multiple solutions高度原词复现。B 选项“设计包含多种解决方案的活动。”符合语境。
【39题详解】
下文“The best part about choosing the topics is that children can try to find practical solutions to these real-life challenges.(这类选题最大的优势,是能让孩子为现实难题寻找切实可行的解决办法。)”中关键词choosing the topics(选择话题)为核心提示,G选项“至于话题,你可以使用全球变暖、水污染等相关问题。” 举例说明任务主题,符合语境。
【40题详解】
本段主题是“Conduct proper brainstorming sessions(开展头脑风暴活动。)”,空格处需要说明活动的开展方式,D选项“你可以通过分配不同任务来开启这项特殊活动。”介绍活动启动方式,下文用“For example, you can ask students to share ideas about real-life conflicts.(例如,让学生分享应对现实矛盾的想法。)”举例具体任务,形成“总起+举例” 的结构。

【答案】参考范文 (1) :
My Experience with TCM Wisdom
Last week’s “TCM Culture on Campus” activity was truly enlightening. I joined the herbal packet-making workshop, where we selected fragrant herbs like wormwood and mint, then carefully packed them into small bags. The comforting scent filled the classroom as my classmates and I shared tips, making the hands-on process unforgettable.
This experience let me feel TCM’s practical charm — it’s not just ancient theory but living wisdom for daily life. The packet not only smells nice but also drives away insects naturally. I’m proud of this precious cultural heritage and hope more peers can explore TCM’s beauty, letting this age-old wisdom thrive in our modern lives.
参考范文 (2) :
My Experience with TCM Wisdom
Last week’s “TCM Culture on Campus” activity left me with a profound impression, and the Tai Chi session was my favorite. Guided by a professional coach, we learned basic movements like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg”. At first, my gestures were stiff, but gradually, I found the rhythm — slow, smooth, and coordinated with deep breathing.
This experience showed me Tai Chi’s essence: it’s not just martial arts, but a TCM way to balance mind and body. I’ve grown to admire this ancient wisdom and hope more students can embrace Tai Chi, letting its harmony enrich our daily lives.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Sophia was a 16-year-old girl who had a great passion for painting. Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair.
Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble.
At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out.
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。
The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. He held out a crumpled piece of paper, his hands trembling, and said he had stayed up all night trying to redraw her painting as best as he could. The landscape was not as vibrant as the original, but every stroke was full of regret and sincerity. He kept apologizing, saying he knew nothing could make up for her lost work, but he hoped this small effort could show how sorry he was.
Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. She took the painting gently, touching the rough brushstrokes, and realized she had been too stubborn to see his regret. She hugged Ethan tightly, saying she was also sorry for shouting at him. They promised to never let a small mistake ruin their precious friendship, and Sophia decided to redo the painting with Ethan’s help, turning the regret into a beautiful memory.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Sophia和Ethan的友谊为线索展开,讲述了热爱绘画的Sophia为艺术比赛精心准备的画作,被热心帮忙的同桌Ethan意外损坏,两人发生争执、关系破裂,Sophia既伤心又后悔,而Ethan心怀愧疚,试图弥补的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容 可知,第二段可描写 Sophia放下骄傲,接受道歉,两人和解,重拾友谊。
2.续写线索:Ethan呈现自己的仿作 —— Ethan真诚道歉 —— Sophia看到诚意 ——Sophia认真看着Ethan的仿作 —— 两人和解 —— 重拾友谊,共绘画作
3.词汇激活
行为类
①拿出:hold out / take out / fetch out
②努力做某事:try to do sth / make one’s effort to do sth / take pains to do sth/ work hard at
③道歉:apologize / say sorry / express his sincere remorse
情绪类

②珍贵的:precious / cherished / treasured
【点睛】[高分句型 1]. He held out a crumpled piece of paper, his hands trembling, and said he had stayed up all night trying to redraw her painting as best as he could.(独立主格结构“his hands trembling”作伴随状语;省略that的宾语从句“he had stayed up all night endeavoring to redraw her painting to the best of his ability”作said的宾语)
[高分句型2]. She took the painting gently, touching the rough brushstrokes, and realized she had been too stubborn to see his regret.(现在分词结构“touching the rough brushstrokes”作伴随状语,“she had been too stubborn to see his regret”为省略that的宾语从句,且使用了“too…to…”结构)
