Teaching and encouraging a love of music are important elements of the festival, which has always included a concert for children, and now runs classes for promising young local musicians. Arriving from across Europe, the members of the Ensemble stay with hosts in the village and enjoy making music with old friends in the wonderful St. Mary’s Church.”

Passage 2
In his new essays, the distinguished photographer Michael Collins makes an appeal for. the art of close observation. He argues that the viewer’s role is to truly look at an image, rather than rush on to the next one. “Photography is now everywhere,” he complains, “and this widespread presence leads people to look briefly and move on, making reflection difficult.”
This contrast between the rewards of attention to the single image and the reality of photographic over-supply forms the thread that runs through Blind Corners: Essays on Photography. That doesn’t mean every image deserves the kind of close attention Collins advocates. Most photography today, he says, “is the enemy of photography itself”. It grows “louder and emptier”. It shouts without really saying anything.
Collins favours the photograph that doesn’t shout but leaves viewers to detect the sound behind the silence. But he is less clear about how we will know when we come across such an image, other than that there is a magic to it. He is very good on the magic part of the relationship among its elements, on what happens when we set off on a search — an ultimately hopeless search — to know and understand the world a single image represents. The magic invites us in and leads us to wonder and to speculate.
The stillness provides the magic. Our need to know is what really keeps us looking, and what really animates the image. A photograph, like a biography (传记), can never tell us enough. We always want to know more. As Collins demonstrates through his imaginings about the figures of Coronation Day, their stillness and silence encourage us to think we are teasingly within reach of knowing them.
For Collins, a photograph’s power lies in its very uniqueness. However, this is not a fashionable view, as we are much more used to looking at photographs in relation to one another today, not just on gallery walls but in digital collections. This tendency to group photographs together is doubtless traceable, in part at least, to the phenomenon of over-supply and the question of what to do with all these photos. Yet for Collins, such relational viewing can weaken what gives a photograph its force in the first place: the intensity of sustained attention to a single, self-contained image.
1.What does Collins think of most photos today?
A.They are quite realistic. B.They are too distracting.
C.They lack real meaning. D.They deserve careful study.
2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculate” in paragraph 3?
A.Guess reasonably. B.Judge critically.
C.Describe exactly. D.Recall clearly.
3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Why stillness calms viewers. B.Why stillness invites imagination.
C.Why stillness provides animation. D.Why stillness shows exact details.
4.What advantage does a single image have?
A.It fits into social media. B.It allows deeper reflection.
C.It presents a more complete story. D.It reminds people of similar images.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了摄影师迈克尔·柯林斯在摄影随笔中倡导仔细观察单张照片,反对快速浏览大量无内涵的图片。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Most photography today, he says, “is the enemy of photography itself.” It grows “louder and emptier”. It shouts without really saying anything. (他说,如今大多数摄影“是摄影本身的敌人”。它变得“更喧闹也更空洞”。它大声喧哗,却没有真正表达任何内容)”可知,柯林斯认为现在的大多数照片缺乏真正的意义。故选C项。
2.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The magic invites us in and leads us to wonder and to speculate.(这股魔力将我们吸引进来,并让我们心生好奇和speculate)”可知,wonder表示“感到好奇、想知道”,与之并列的speculate应是在好奇基础上进行的行为,结合语境,照片的静谧与魔力让人在观看时产生思考并进行合理猜测,因此speculate意为“合理地猜测”。故选A项。
3.主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The stillness provides the magic. Our need to know is what really keeps us looking, and what really animates the image.(这种静谧带来了魔力。我们想要了解的欲望让我们持续观看,也让照片生动起来)”可知,第四段主要讲述为什么静谧能激发人们的想象。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“Yet for Collins, such relational viewing can weaken what gives a photograph its force in the first place: the intensity of sustained attention to a single, self-contained image.(然而对柯林斯来说,这种关联式观看会削弱照片原本的力量:对单张独立图像的持续专注强度)”可推知,单张图片的优势是能让人进行更深入的思考。故选B项。
Passage 3
Art and technology have a complex but meaningful history of working together and influencing one another. Innovations in technology have directly impacted the art world and will continue to do so.
With every new evolution in technology, art also changes. However, this doesn’t just apply to their production. The way art is viewed, shared, consumed and subsequently sold is constantly transforming too. Technology has made art far more accessible. Just like with countless other aspects of modern life, the internet has allowed art to be consumed in a more direct way. Museums display collections online, and artists have all the tools they need at their fingertips to promote and sell their own pieces — often without the challenges that come with running a physical exhibition.
It’s clear that the relationship between art and technology has led to many exciting new pieces and techniques. Significant innovations from the past years include AI-generated art.
Is Artificial Intelligence the next great Art Movement? Without easily distinguishing the line between human and machine, AI-generated art offers us a new kind of untraditional creativity. However, new findings do not come without hesitation. Some argue that art generated through computer science is definitely not art, or creative. Nevertheless, artists are continuing to experiment to combine art and technology further as one.
It is obvious that the art landscape is experiencing an extreme transformation as it changes with technology. These two fields may seem different — however, we have shown that there is a fate that ties these two together. With rapid technological advancements and shifting perception of art among artists and consumers, we can expect to see a better understanding of how these changes will affect the creative world as a whole.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Art doesn’t change with technology. B.Technology affects art in many ways.
C.Artists make more money than before. D.People needn’t visit galleries to enjoy art.
2.What’s the author’s answer to the question at the beginning of Paragraph 4?
A.Unclear. B.Absolutely. C.Why should I know? D.Definitely not.
3.What is the “fate” that ties art and technology?
A.The consumption of art. B.The advancement of technology.
C.The experiment of artists and consumers. D.The history of these two working together.
4.How does the author feel about the future of art and technology?
A.Neutral. B.Curious. C.Negative. D.Positive.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了艺术与科技之间复杂而有意义的关系,以及科技对艺术的多方面影响和未来展望。
1.主旨大意题。根据第二段中“With every new evolution in technology, art also changes. However, this doesn’t just apply to their production. The way art is viewed, shared, consumed and subsequently sold is constantly transforming too. Technology has made art far more accessible.(随着技术的每一次新发展,艺术也在发生变化。然而,这不仅仅适用于它们的生产。艺术被观看、分享、消费和随后出售的方式也在不断变化。科技让艺术变得更容易获得)”可知,本段主要讲述了科技在许多方面影响着艺术。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Is Artificial Intelligence the next great Art Movement? Without easily distinguishing the line between human and machine, AI-generated art offers us a new kind of untraditional creativity. However, new findings do not come without hesitation. Some argue that art generated through computer science is definitely not art, or creative.(人工智能是下一个伟大的艺术运动吗?由于无法轻易区分人与机器之间的界限,人工智能生成的艺术为我们提供了一种新的非传统创造力。然而,新的发现并非没有犹豫。一些人认为,通过计算机科学产生的艺术绝对不是艺术,也不是创造性的)”可知,作者对于“人工智能是下一个伟大的艺术运动吗?”这个问题没有给出明确的答案,只是阐述了不同人的观点。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“These two fields may seem different — however, we have shown that there is a fate that ties these two together.(这两个领域可能看起来不同——然而,我们已经表明,有一种命运将这两者联系在一起)”以及第一段中“Art and technology have a complex but meaningful history of working together and influencing one another.(艺术与科技有着复杂而有意义的历史,它们相互合作、相互影响)”可知,将艺术和科技联系在一起的“命运”是它们一起合作、相互影响的历史。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“With rapid technological advancements and shifting perception of art among artists and consumers, we can expect to see a better understanding of how these changes will affect the creative world as a whole.(随着科技的飞速发展和艺术家与消费者对艺术观念的转变,我们可以期待更好地理解这些变化将如何影响整个创意世界)”可知,作者对于艺术和科技的未来持积极态度。故选D。
Passage 4
If you love art, “Picasso” speaks a lot. Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) wasn’t just an exceptional painter; he was a sculptor, printmaker, stage designer ... Due to his amazing skills, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.
One of Picasso’s amazing feats was representing realism and contemporary culture through art. He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism— one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed. His exploration of art did not stop with cubism as he wanted to make something more inspirational, and thus came into existence—Collage (拼贴画). Collage was a different kind of art in which Picasso incorporated several signs and used some metaphorical terms to give them a concrete meaning.
Picasso received training from his father, who was an art teacher and a painter. At the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.
Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions. His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing. To this day, it is a classic representation of war horrors.
On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France, leaving behind a treasure of art that is celebrated still to this day.
1.What does the underlined word “feats” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Dreams. B.Achievements. C.Discoveries. D.Inspirations.
2.What was the driving force behind Picasso’s artistic exploration?
A.His training in the Academy. B.His pursuit of innovation.
C.His admiration for his father. D.His loyalty to traditional art.
3.What was Picasso’s intention in creating “Guernica”?
A.To show his artistic talent. B.To pour out personal emotional pain.
C.To record a historical event. D.To speak out against wartime violence.
4.Which of the following best describes Picasso?
A.Talented and consistent. B.Creative and ambitious.
C.Pioneering and all-round. D.Successful and realistic.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.D 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是毕加索的艺术成就、创新贡献及其深远影响。
1.词句猜测题。根据第二段“representing realism and contemporary culture through art(通过艺术来展现现实主义和当代文化)”和“He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism— one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed.(他与乔治·布拉克一起开创了立体主义——这是现代艺术中最具革命性的运动之一,为随后几乎所有的抽象艺术奠定了基础。)”可知,通过艺术来展现现实主义和当代文化是毕加索的成就之一,feats的意思是“成就”,和achievements意思相近。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“At the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.(16岁时,毕加索已经不再喜欢传统的艺术技法,而是渴望引入新的元素。他的探索始于他加入马德里的圣费尔南多学院之时。他尝试了各种不同的艺术风格,并探索了诸如静物、肖像、神话场景和风景等主题。他的作品充满大胆的创新精神,而且他总是倾向于采用新颖的视角。)”可知,毕加索进行艺术探索的内在动力是他对创新的追求。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing.(他最具影响力且饱含政治意味的作品是《格尔尼卡》,这是在西班牙内战期间创作的,当时该地遭受了可怕的轰炸。)”可知,《格尔尼卡》是毕加索针对西班牙内战中格尔尼卡镇遭受可怕轰炸而创作的,且是具有政治色彩的作品,由此可推知他创作该作品是为了表达反对战争的政治观点。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.(他的作品充满大胆的创新精神,而且他总是倾向于采用新颖的视角。)”可知,他是开拓创新的;根据倒数第二段“Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions.(毕加索还创作了雕塑作品,并对戏剧表演也颇感兴趣。)”可知,他全面发展,因此可用pioneering和all-round来描述他,故选C。
Passage 5
It is no wonder that we’ve all experienced this case: a song plays on the radio and suddenly we find ourselves flashing back to a moment from our past. 1
Several factors link music to our memories. Music is often a key part of significant life events, and it is also very effective in attracting our attention. 2 Furthermore, the emotional quality of music makes it especially easy to remember.
We usually get familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Generally the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. 3 This is because we are much more likely to hear a song repeatedly than watch a movie in the same manner.
Writing for a culture column, Tiffany Jenkins offers a distinct perspective: 4 She explains how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs owing to this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs both act as tools to aid memory.
5 This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (记忆突点) ”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.
It’s evident that our memories and music are closely connected— to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they believe they have lost.
A.Music itself is easy to remember.
B.familiarity plays a vital role in memory recall.
C.Do songs always bring back happy memories?
D.This applies to music more than other cultural products.
E.Our musical preference usually forms during our teens.
F.But what makes music so effective in triggering past memories?
G.Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.D 4.A 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍音乐能触发人们过往回忆的现象,并从多个因素、不同角度分析音乐与记忆紧密关联的原因。
1.根据上文“It is no wonder that we’ve all experienced this case: a song plays on the radio and suddenly we find ourselves flashing back to a moment from our past.(难怪我们都有过这样的经历:收音机里响起一首歌,我们突然就回想起过去的某个时刻)”以及下文“Several factors link music to our memories.(有几个因素将音乐和我们的记忆联系在一起)”可知,此处应衔接上文的现象,提出疑问引出下文的原因分析,F选项“But what makes music so effective in triggering past memories?(但是是什么让音乐在触发过往回忆方面如此有效呢?)”既呼应了上文的音乐触发回忆的现象,又以疑问引出下文的因素分析,符合语境。故选F项。
2.根据上文“Music is often a key part of significant life events, and it is also very effective in attracting our attention.(音乐通常是重要人生事件的关键部分,而且它在吸引我们的注意力方面也非常有效)”以及下文“Furthermore, the emotional quality of music makes it especially easy to remember.(此外,音乐的情感特质使其特别容易被记住)”可知,此处应体现音乐与重要人生事件的关联,G选项“Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories.(音乐和这些人生事件很可能在我们的记忆中联系在一起)”中的these life events指代上文的significant life events,衔接上文,同时为下文进一步说明音乐易被记住做铺垫,符合语境。故选G项。
3.根据上文“Generally the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories.(一般来说,一首音乐越熟悉,就越能有效地唤起回忆)”以及下文“This is because we are much more likely to hear a song repeatedly than watch a movie in the same manner.(这是因为我们重复听到一首歌的可能性比以同样的方式看一部电影大得多)”可知,此处应进一步说明熟悉度对记忆回忆的作用,且突出音乐的特殊性,D选项“This applies to music more than other cultural products.(这一点对音乐的适用程度比对其他文化产品更高)”中的This指代上文的熟悉度与回忆的关联,more than other cultural products与下文的音乐和电影对比相呼应,符合语境。故选D项。
4.根据下文“She explains how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs owing to this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs both act as tools to aid memory.(她解释了纵观历史,由于这一特性,口头文化如何通过歌曲将重要知识代代相传。歌曲中的韵律和押韵都起到了辅助记忆的作用)”可知,此处应体现音乐本身易被记忆这一特性,A选项“Music itself is easy to remember.(音乐本身很容易被记住)”中的easy to remember与下文的aid memory相呼应,this characteristic指代的就是音乐易被记忆的特性,符合语境。故选A项。
5.根据下文“This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (记忆突点) ”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.(这一事实与许多专家所说的“记忆突点”相符,即40岁以上的成年人对青春期和成年早期发生的事件记忆更清晰)”可知,此处应体现音乐偏好与青春期的关联,E选项“Our musical preference usually forms during our teens.(我们的音乐偏好通常在青少年时期形成)”中的during our teens与下文的adolescence and early adulthood相呼应,this fact指代的就是音乐偏好形成于青少年时期这一情况,符合语境。故选E项。

【答案】One possible version:
Good morning! I feel honored to deliver a speech today. Does listening to music disturb our study? Absolutely not! Actually, it can serve as a fantastic study companion.
When I’m wrestling with tough problems, soft background music tends to ease my tension, blocking out random distractions. Whenever I get lost in their catchy tunes and vibrant lyrics, it’s like opening a door to a linguistic and cultural wonderland. This not only improves my language skills but also gives me a deeper understanding of Western culture.
Personally, music doesn’t merely make studying less of a chore; it transforms studying into a more enjoyable and fruitful experience. Let’s embrace music and make learning a truly delightful journey. Thank you for listening!

五、书面表达
1.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。
Many years ago, I took my eldest son to see my favorite band when my wife was out on business. Though he was hesitant at first, he was convinced by the promise of some snacks and ended up loving the concert, becoming an even bigger fan than me.
When the band announced a new tour years later, I immediately planned to take my family to the concert. My wife, not a fan of the band, declined to come along. My youngest son had grown up listening to their music and also came to love them. I eagerly bought tickets for the three of us. Not the best of seats due to limited finances, but who cares? We were going to have a great time seeing the best band in the world.
At the concert, however, we faced an unexpected problem. My eldest was already taller than me; my youngest, on the other hand, was not so tall at the time. This meant that when the concert started and the people in the row in front decided to stay standing, he could not see past them, only catching sight of the stage between their bodies. It was obvious that he was disappointed. It was tearing my heart that he was not able to enjoy the show, and I, of course, could not either.
I did ask the group in front if they were going to stay standing, and the answer was a definite yes. They weren't doing anything wrong, so as much as I was disappointed, I understood that they had paid their money too and wanted to enjoy themselves.
Then a steward (工作人员) noticed our situation and kindly suggested we check with guest services a level below. While making my kids stand just inside a doorway so they could still see the concert, I quickly rushed down to seek help. The lady at the guest services was very understanding, but all she could offer was the restricted-view seats closer to the stage.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I walked to my sons, explaining the option of the alternative seats.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To our surprise, we were directed down towards the front row.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I walked to my sons, explaining the option of the alternative seats. I told them that the alternative seats offered a restricted view, but they were significantly closer to the stage. My youngest son seemed a little disappointed at first, and then he nodded. “It’s OK, Dad. At least I’ll be able to see something,” he said, trying to sound cheerful. My eldest gave an encouraging nod. Touched by their understanding, I hurried back to the guest services counter and gratefully accepted the woman’s offer, feeling a mix of relief and guilt.
To our surprise, we were directed down towards the front row. It was then that we realized the kind lady hadn’t just given us different seats — she had upgraded our seats. The stage was right in front of us, so close that we could see the musicians’ expressions. My youngest screamed with joy, his earlier disappointment completely disappearing. As the band launched into our favorite songs, we sang along joyfully, lost in the magic of the moment. I couldn’t thank that lady enough. What had begun as a night of disappointment had transformed into an unforgettable experience, all thanks to a stranger’s unexpected kindness.

二、阅读理解
Passage 1
Richard Hosford fulfilled an ambition of founding a music festival in his home county in 1991. Richard said, “At that time, my aim was to create a festival with an informal atmosphere and the highest possible artistic standards.”
The festival was first planned in Canon Ray Nichols. The Gaudier Ensemble (乐团), of which Richard is a member, has returned each year to perform a wide range of chamber music (室内乐) at the festival. Richard said, “Over many years we have built a special relationship with our audience. Teaching and encouraging a love of music are important elements of the festival, which has always included a concert for children, and now runs classes for promising young local musicians. Arriving from across Europe, the members of the Ensemble stay with hosts in the village and enjoy making music with old friends in the wonderful St. Mary’s Church.”
The event is now an established favorite on the South West music festival scene and this year will mark its 25th year with a programme that includes pieces by Mozart, Francaix, Schubert and Bruch from Dec 9 to Dec 12. There will also be a late-night concert of light American gems by Gershwin, a family concert and a new commission by poet and broadcaster James Crowden and Lillie Harris from the Royal College of Music. The festival will also welcome a group of recent Royal College of Music students who will perform alongside the Gaudier Ensemble at some concerts and work with talented local musical youngsters.

Passage 2
In his new essays, the distinguished photographer Michael Collins makes an appeal for. the art of close observation. He argues that the viewer’s role is to truly look at an image, rather than rush on to the next one. “Photography is now everywhere,” he complains, “and this widespread presence leads people to look briefly and move on, making reflection difficult.”
This contrast between the rewards of attention to the single image and the reality of photographic over-supply forms the thread that runs through Blind Corners: Essays on Photography. That doesn’t mean every image deserves the kind of close attention Collins advocates. Most photography today, he says, “is the enemy of photography itself”. It grows “louder and emptier”. It shouts without really saying anything.
Collins favours the photograph that doesn’t shout but leaves viewers to detect the sound behind the silence. But he is less clear about how we will know when we come across such an image, other than that there is a magic to it. He is very good on the magic part of the relationship among its elements, on what happens when we set off on a search — an ultimately hopeless search — to know and understand the world a single image represents. The magic invites us in and leads us to wonder and to speculate.
The stillness provides the magic. Our need to know is what really keeps us looking, and what really animates the image. A photograph, like a biography (传记), can never tell us enough. We always want to know more. As Collins demonstrates through his imaginings about the figures of Coronation Day, their stillness and silence encourage us to think we are teasingly within reach of knowing them.
For Collins, a photograph’s power lies in its very uniqueness. However, this is not a fashionable view, as we are much more used to looking at photographs in relation to one another today, not just on gallery walls but in digital collections. This tendency to group photographs together is doubtless traceable, in part at least, to the phenomenon of over-supply and the question of what to do with all these photos. Yet for Collins, such relational viewing can weaken what gives a photograph its force in the first place: the intensity of sustained attention to a single, self-contained image.
1.What does Collins think of most photos today?
A.They are quite realistic. B.They are too distracting.
C.They lack real meaning. D.They deserve careful study.
2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculate” in paragraph 3?
A.Guess reasonably. B.Judge critically.
C.Describe exactly. D.Recall clearly.
3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Why stillness calms viewers. B.Why stillness invites imagination.
C.Why stillness provides animation. D.Why stillness shows exact details.
4.What advantage does a single image have?
A.It fits into social media. B.It allows deeper reflection.
C.It presents a more complete story. D.It reminds people of similar images.
Passage 3
Art and technology have a complex but meaningful history of working together and influencing one another. Innovations in technology have directly impacted the art world and will continue to do so.
With every new evolution in technology, art also changes. However, this doesn’t just apply to their production. The way art is viewed, shared, consumed and subsequently sold is constantly transforming too. Technology has made art far more accessible. Just like with countless other aspects of modern life, the internet has allowed art to be consumed in a more direct way. Museums display collections online, and artists have all the tools they need at their fingertips to promote and sell their own pieces — often without the challenges that come with running a physical exhibition.
It’s clear that the relationship between art and technology has led to many exciting new pieces and techniques. Significant innovations from the past years include AI-generated art.
Is Artificial Intelligence the next great Art Movement? Without easily distinguishing the line between human and machine, AI-generated art offers us a new kind of untraditional creativity. However, new findings do not come without hesitation. Some argue that art generated through computer science is definitely not art, or creative. Nevertheless, artists are continuing to experiment to combine art and technology further as one.
It is obvious that the art landscape is experiencing an extreme transformation as it changes with technology. These two fields may seem different — however, we have shown that there is a fate that ties these two together. With rapid technological advancements and shifting perception of art among artists and consumers, we can expect to see a better understanding of how these changes will affect the creative world as a whole.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Art doesn’t change with technology. B.Technology affects art in many ways.
C.Artists make more money than before. D.People needn’t visit galleries to enjoy art.
2.What’s the author’s answer to the question at the beginning of Paragraph 4?
A.Unclear. B.Absolutely. C.Why should I know? D.Definitely not.
3.What is the “fate” that ties art and technology?
A.The consumption of art. B.The advancement of technology.
C.The experiment of artists and consumers. D.The history of these two working together.
4.How does the author feel about the future of art and technology?
A.Neutral. B.Curious. C.Negative. D.Positive.
Passage 4
If you love art, “Picasso” speaks a lot. Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) wasn’t just an exceptional painter; he was a sculptor, printmaker, stage designer ... Due to his amazing skills, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.
One of Picasso’s amazing feats was representing realism and contemporary culture through art. He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism— one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed. His exploration of art did not stop with cubism as he wanted to make something more inspirational, and thus came into existence—Collage (拼贴画). Collage was a different kind of art in which Picasso incorporated several signs and used some metaphorical terms to give them a concrete meaning.
Picasso received training from his father, who was an art teacher and a painter. At the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.
Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions. His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing. To this day, it is a classic representation of war horrors.
On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France, leaving behind a treasure of art that is celebrated still to this day.
1.What does the underlined word “feats” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Dreams. B.Achievements. C.Discoveries. D.Inspirations.
2.What was the driving force behind Picasso’s artistic exploration?
A.His training in the Academy. B.His pursuit of innovation.
C.His admiration for his father. D.His loyalty to traditional art.
3.What was Picasso’s intention in creating “Guernica”?
A.To show his artistic talent. B.To pour out personal emotional pain.
C.To record a historical event. D.To speak out against wartime violence.
4.Which of the following best describes Picasso?
A.Talented and consistent. B.Creative and ambitious.
C.Pioneering and all-round. D.Successful and realistic.
Passage 5
It is no wonder that we’ve all experienced this case: a song plays on the radio and suddenly we find ourselves flashing back to a moment from our past. 1
Several factors link music to our memories. Music is often a key part of significant life events, and it is also very effective in attracting our attention. 2 Furthermore, the emotional quality of music makes it especially easy to remember.
We usually get familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Generally the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. 3 This is because we are much more likely to hear a song repeatedly than watch a movie in the same manner.
Writing for a culture column, Tiffany Jenkins offers a distinct perspective: 4 She explains how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs owing to this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs both act as tools to aid memory.
5 This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (记忆突点) ”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.
It’s evident that our memories and music are closely connected— to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they believe they have lost.
A.Music itself is easy to remember.
B.familiarity plays a vital role in memory recall.
C.Do songs always bring back happy memories?
D.This applies to music more than other cultural products.
E.Our musical preference usually forms during our teens.
F.But what makes music so effective in triggering past memories?
G.Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories.

When I first stepped into the photography club, I felt like a stranger 1 in a sea of creativity.

The idea of sharing my blurry, unpolished photos felt 3 , and I was ready to slip out before the activity even began.
That’s when Mia, the club’s president, noticed me. Unlike others who were 4 in their own conversations, she walked over and smiled. “A vintage Canon? My mom has one just like it,” she said.

Kite Festival Brings Folk Fun to Campus Our school held a fantastic Chinese Kite Culture Festival on the playground last Saturday, attracting many students to take part in it actively.
We invited folk craftsmen to teach us to make kites with traditional patterns like dragons and phoenixes. We also flew kites freely and listened to their interesting stories about the long history of kite culture. All students were immersed in the joy of the activity.

五、书面表达
1.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。
Many years ago, I took my eldest son to see my favorite band when my wife was out on business. Though he was hesitant at first, he was convinced by the promise of some snacks and ended up loving the concert, becoming an even bigger fan than me.
When the band announced a new tour years later, I immediately planned to take my family to the concert. My wife, not a fan of the band, declined to come along. My youngest son had grown up listening to their music and also came to love them. I eagerly bought tickets for the three of us. Not the best of seats due to limited finances, but who cares? We were going to have a great time seeing the best band in the world.
At the concert, however, we faced an unexpected problem. My eldest was already taller than me; my youngest, on the other hand, was not so tall at the time. This meant that when the concert started and the people in the row in front decided to stay standing, he could not see past them, only catching sight of the stage between their bodies. It was obvious that he was disappointed. It was tearing my heart that he was not able to enjoy the show, and I, of course, could not either.
I did ask the group in front if they were going to stay standing, and the answer was a definite yes. They weren't doing anything wrong, so as much as I was disappointed, I understood that they had paid their money too and wanted to enjoy themselves.
Then a steward (工作人员) noticed our situation and kindly suggested we check with guest services a level below. While making my kids stand just inside a doorway so they could still see the concert, I quickly rushed down to seek help. The lady at the guest services was very understanding, but all she could offer was the restricted-view seats closer to the stage.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I walked to my sons, explaining the option of the alternative seats.

To our surprise, we were directed down towards the front row.
