高二英语 （满分115分 时间105分钟） I. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The Economist’s choice for the 2025 “Word of the Year” is a term that has been given a new meaning for the digital age: “slop.” Originally meaning mud, poor food, leftovers, or nonsense, it now clearly describes the large amount of low-quality, AI-created content ___1___ (fill) the Internet. This new use became especially common after OpenAI’s release of Sora, a video-creation tool that quickly filled social media with artificial clips. So-called “slop merchants” — those ___2___ produce huge amounts of AI-made material — are filling the internet with questionable content. Look for health information on Google, and you will probably find newly made pages full of AI-written text near the top results. ___3___ (move) through Instagram, and soon you might see videos made from false clips with computer-made voices. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), it has become harder to tell real accounts from AI-run “slop-shops” ___4___ (locate) in Pakistan, Nigeria, or Thailand, often pretending to be real political or opinion accounts. While the word sounds negative, the article presents an idea called “sloptimism” (mixing “slop” and “optimism”). The thought is ___5___ if the information space becomes too full of low-value AI material, there might be some good results: ___6___ people get tired of untrustworthy sources, their trust in well-known, reliable news organizations could grow. Studies have shown that after trying to tell AI-made photos from real ones, people are ___7___ (willing) to pay for good journalism. Also, if social media sites become too crowded with slop, they might have to better control their content — or they （ 8 ）ose users who want better-quality exchanges. Therefore, “slop” does more than just describe a problem; it explains a common modern experience. It shows widespread worry about falling information quality, the right use of technology, and the future of online communication. Though not a new word, ___9___new meaning strongly connects with life in the mid-2020s — a time when we may not like this reality, but are clearly living with it, and will probably keep doing so for years___10___ (come). 【答案】1. filling 2. who 3.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In April 2026, New York University awarded its highest faculty honor, the title of Silver Professor, to 35-year-old Chinese mathematician Wang Hong. This landmark achievement has made her one of the world’s top experts in pure mathematics. The rare appointment for a young researcher has drawn wide attention from global academic circles, with many praising her as a rising star in modern mathematics. Wang Hong was born and raised in a small county in Guilin, Guangxi, far from the world’s top academic centers. Her life path has been marked not by sudden fame, but by quiet courage and thoughtful choices. As an undergraduate at Peking University, she first majored in earth sciences, a practical and traditional field. However, driven by a deep love for mathematics, she decided to change her major after careful consideration. That brave decision set her on a path toward mathematical research. She once said that following her true interest was more important than taking a safer career route. She continued her studies in France and the United States, spending many years working on difficult and fundamental mathematical problems with little public recognition. In 2025, together with her partner Joshua Zahl, she successfully proved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想), a century-old problem that had puzzled mathematicians worldwide. Her breakthrough not only earned her international fame but also a lifetime professorship at France’s Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, one of the world’s most respected research institutions. Wang’s high academic reputation was clearly shown during a lecture she gave at Peking University. The hall was completely filled with students and scholars, many of whom had come from other cities just to hear her speak. Among the audience sat Wei Dongyi, one of China’s most famous mathematicians, listening attentively in the front row. That scene was a silent but powerful proof of the respect and influence Wang has earned in the academic world. It showed that even top mathematicians recognize her outstanding contributions. Wang’s story carries a timeless truth: Great achievements do not require an extraordinary start. They come from perseverance, brave choices, and steady devotion. Her rise from an ordinary background to global academic excellence reminds us that quiet, consistent hard work is the key to lasting success. For young people who dream of a career in science, her journey is both inspiring and instructive. 36. What can be inferred about Wang Hong’s personality? A. She prefers to work alone on problems. B. She was forced to change her major. C. She values passion over a safe career. D. She seeks public attention and fame. 37. Why does the author mention Wei Dongyi in paragraph 4? A. To show he is also interested in the conjecture. B. To prove Wang’s high academic reputation. C. To introduce another outstanding mathematician. D. To compare their different research styles. 38. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. Great success needs an unusual start. B. Perseverance and devotion lead to success. C. Fame and luck matter more than hard work. D. Early choices decide one’s final achievement. 39. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Silver Professor: NYU’s Top Honor. B. The Kakeya Conjecture Finally Solved. C. Wang Hong: From Earth to Mathematics. D. How to Get a Lifetime Professorship. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. B 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了35岁中国数学家王虹获得纽约大学最高教职荣誉“银教授”称号的成就及其成长历程。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“She once said that following her true interest was more important than taking a safer career route. (她曾说过，追随自己真正的兴趣比选择更安全的职业道路更重要。)”可知，王虹重视热情胜过安全的职业。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段的句子“Among the audience sat Wei Dongyi, one of China's most famous mathematicians, listening attentively in the front row. That scene was a silent but powerful proof of the respect and influence Wang has earned in the academic world. (观众席中坐着韦东奕，中国最著名的数学家之一，在前排认真聆听。那一幕是王虹在学术界赢得的尊重和影响力的无声但有力的证明。)”可知，作者提及韦东奕是为了证明王虹的高学术声誉。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Great achievements do not require an extraordinary start. They come from perseverance, brave choices, and steady devotion. (伟大的成就不需要非凡的起点。它们来自坚持不懈、勇敢的选择和持之以恒的奉献。)”可知，作者传达的信息是坚持和投入通向成功。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕王虹从广西小县城到世界顶尖数学家的成长历程展开，突出她从地球科学转向数学的勇敢选择、多年潜心研究、最终证明挂谷猜想的突破，以及她在学术界赢得的尊重。C项“Wang Hong: From Earth to Mathematics (王虹：从地球到数学)”既点明人物，又概括了她从地球科学转向数学的关键转折，形象且深刻。 (B) Volunteers Needed: Be a “Tech Guide” for Our Seniors!

This news made headlines all over the world. Research on the advanced autonomous table tennis robot Ace had its complete findings officially published in Nature, a top journal, attracting very wide attention from global technology experts and AI researchers. Everyone in the field was excited about it. For many years in the past, traditional table tennis robots had quite clear technical limitations. They could only operate under simplified conditions, such as lower ball speed and reduced spin, which were not challenging enough for real games. Most early robots simply relied on fixed ball paths from serving machines and failed to deal with flexible, changeable strategies from real human players who could change their plans anytime. As a result, unfortunately, no previous robot could ever compete fairly with well-trained athletes under official competition rules. That is why they never won official matches. In contrast, however, the Ace robot is equipped with very professional hardware and a high-precision perception system which works like human eyes. A flexible high-speed robotic arm enables it to adjust hitting angles and strength instantly with great accuracy, just like a real player or even better. Meanwhile, multiple synchronous high-speed cameras act as very sensitive visual sensors, very accurately capturing the ball’s real-time speed, flight path and complex spin with extremely low delay in no time. This advanced hardware allows the robot to observe the court and respond far faster than human beings, and never tires. Ace also adopts a core physical AI technology called model-free reinforcement learning. This is a new way of training robots. Instead of following preset movements, the robot continuously collects match data in real time, analyzes opponents’ playing styles, and adjusts its own strategies independently during real-time games. It can flexibly deal with very fast attacks and tricky spins in dynamic matches. This makes it a true competitor. In formal tests, which were very strict, all games exactly followed full International Table Tennis Federation rules and were supervised by professional referees. Ace defeated three out of five strong elite (精英) players in standard matches. Nevertheless, it still suffered defeats against professional players, reflecting the big gap that still exists between the robot and top human athletes. It is truly still recognized as the first physical robot in history to reach real human expert-level performance in standard competitive sports. This is a huge step for robot sports. This success highlights the truly great potential of physical AI in handling real-world dynamic tasks like sports. Its core technologies can be applied to smart factories, household service robots and high-precision medical equipment, driving the rapid development of future intelligent technology.

These uses will improve our lives a lot.(其核心技术可应用于智能工厂、家用服务机器人以及高精度医疗设备领域，推动未来智能科技快速发展。这些应用也将极大改善我们的生活)”介绍技术未来的用途。由此可知文章二至六段落结构为：过去的不足→如今的解决方案→测试结果→未来应用。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, multiple synchronous high-speed cameras act as very sensitive visual sensors, very accurately capturing the ball’s real-time speed, flight path and complex spin with extremely low delay in no time.(与此同时，多台synchronous高速摄像机充当灵敏的视觉传感器，能够即时、低延迟地精准捕捉球的实时速度、飞行轨迹和复杂旋转。)”可知，这些摄像机同时运作以捕捉动态画面，因此该单词意为“同步的、同时运作的”。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Ace defeated three out of five strong elite (精英) players in standard matches. Nevertheless, it still suffered defeats against professional players, reflecting the big gap that still exists between the robot and top human athletes.(Ace在正式比赛中击败了五名实力强劲的精英选手中的三位。不过，它依旧不敌部分职业选手，这也体现出该机器人和人类顶尖运动员之间仍存在较大差距)”可知，并非所有职业选手的表现都能优于这款机器人。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sony AI announced a major new scientific breakthrough from its flagship research initiative, Project Ace.(索尼人工智能宣布其王牌研究项目Ace取得重大科学突破。)”以及最后一段“This success highlights the truly great potential of physical AI in handling real-world dynamic tasks like sports.(这次成功凸显了实体人工智能在体育运动等现实动态任务中的巨大潜力。)”可知，全文围绕实体人工智能在竞技体育领域取得的重大突破展开，所以C项“A Major Breakthrough of Physical AI in Competitive Sports(实体人工智能在竞技体育领域取得重大突破)”符合文意。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Today, more and more detailed and creative nail designs are within easy reach. People can now decorate their nails with very small 3D flowers or hand-drawn pictures of characters like Shakespeare or Snow White. Jacqueline McClement, a nail artist from Canada, not long ago shared a video of herself painting Vermeer’s well-known painting Girl with a Pearl Earring using nail polish. For those happy to spend the money, there are even man-made nails created from real crystals (水晶) costing about $ 800. The act of decorating nails is not new. In ancient Babylon, men would color their nails with a dark material before fight to look more frightening. In Egypt, people used a natural dye to color their nails as a sign of their place in society. The earliest kind of nail polish goes back to approximately 3,000 BC in China, made from a mix of egg whites, a sticky substance, and wax from bees. ___47___. Nowadays, nail art has become a real form of creativity and competition. People taking part in Nailympia, a major world nail art competition, tirelessly treat their nails like very small surfaces for painting. ___48___. Its popularity is clearly growing: In the United States, the number of nail salons has almost doubled since 2012, reaching about 35,000. In Britain, nail services are the second most chosen beauty treatment after hair styling. Nails today are less about war and more about showing who you are. British fashion photographer Nick Knight describes them as “the last note in a song.” Some nail artists say their work is like the very small painted pictures loved by European rich and powerful families in the 18th century. Anouska Scarlet Anastasia, who makes very small artworks on nails, says that one wrong move with the brush can spoil the whole piece. ___49___. This art form is also getting recognition from official institutions. Comments online even say in fun that such designs should be in museums — and in fact, the first museum just for nail art is planned to open in Shanghai next year. ___50___. While some may not think nail art is serious, nail experts believe it is a difficult and real art form that keeps growing in cultural importance. A. This long history shows that nail (指甲) art is not just a passing trend. B. Some work against the clock, while others show designs worked on for months. C. For example, one artist recently made a nail design based on a famous movie. D. In this way, nail art is becoming a respected part of modern culture. E. Her works, like an Irish cream drink, can take many weeks to finish. F. However, such designs are usually too expensive for most people. 【答案】47. A 48. B 49. E 50. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了美甲从古代社会地位象征演变为现代创意艺术形式的过程，并指出其日益增长的文化影响力。 【47题详解】 由上文“The earliest kind of nail polish goes back to approximately 3,000 BC in China, made from a mix of egg whites, a sticky substance, and wax from bees.(最早的指甲油大约出现在公元前3000年的中国，由蛋清、黏性物质和蜂蜡混合制成)”可知，上文介绍了美甲的悠久历史，本空需要总结美甲历史悠久、并非一时潮流。A选项“这段悠久的历史表明美甲并非昙花一现的潮流”能够总结上文历史内容，符合语境。 【48题详解】 由上文“People taking part in Nailympia, a major world nail art competition, tirelessly treat their nails like very small surfaces for painting.(参加世界顶级美甲大赛Nailympia的选手们孜孜不倦地将指甲当作微型画板进行创作)”及下文“Its popularity is clearly growing: In the United States, the number of nail salons has almost doubled since 2012, reaching about 35,000.(它的受欢迎程度明显在增长：在美国，美甲沙龙的数量自2012年以来几乎翻了一番，达到约35,000家)”可知，本空应进一步介绍美甲比赛选手的创作状态。B选项“一些人争分夺秒创作，而另一些人展示耗时数月完成的作品”能承上启下，符合语境。 【49题详解】 由上文“Anouska Scarlet Anastasia, who makes very small artworks on nails, says that one wrong move with the brush can spoil the whole piece.(专注于微型美甲创作的阿努什卡·斯嘉丽·阿纳斯塔西娅表示，画笔稍有失误就会毁掉整幅作品)”可知，上文强调了美甲创作的精细与高难度，本空应进一步说明其作品所需的时间与精力。E选项“她的作品，比如爱尔兰奶油饮品主题作品，可能需要数周时间才能完成”承接上文人物，延续美甲创作精细、耗时的特点，符合语境。 【50题详解】 由上文“This art form is also getting recognition from official institutions.

Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Conflict is a Healthy and Teachable Part of Life We do not typically watch reality TV to learn good communication. That’s why a scene on Love Island US was so unexpected. Chris forgot to ask his partner Huda for her thoughts. When she calmly pointed this out, he admitted his mistake directly. This was a surprisingly grown-up way to handle disagreement on a show often filled with arguments. It reminds us that even in dramatic settings, conflict can be dealt with maturely. Experts agree that conflict is not something to run away from. “Conflict is normal and healthy,” says Rachel Moheban Wachtel, a social worker. In fact, it can be key to building deeper closeness, understanding, and connection between people. An argument can be a useful chance to learn what truly matters to someone else. Dr. Sara Corse adds that difficult conversations also help us understand our own views better. For example, even a simple disagreement about loading a dishwasher can teach us something new about responsibility or personal habits. Avoiding conflict may keep peace temporarily, but it often leads to hidden anger and distance. Facing it bravely, however, can turn a potential fight into a stepping stone for growth. Since many of us are never taught how to manage conflict well, here are two expert methods. The first is to listen with care. Try “understanding reflection,” which means listening actively and then repeating the other person’s point in your own words. The goal is to make them feel heard, not to immediately reply with your own story. This simple act can lower defensiveness and open the door to real discussion. The second method is to pause when emotions run high. If a talk becomes too heated, it is wise to take a short break. Importantly, you should explain that you want to continue the conversation later, when both of you are calmer and can talk more productively. A short pause is not running away — it’s a strategic choice to protect the relationship. In the end, conflict is a natural part of all relationships. Learning to handle it patiently and respectfully is a valuable skill that takes practice. It turns difficult moments into opportunities for personal growth and stronger bonds with others. So next time you face a disagreement, remember: Handled well, conflict is not a threat but a teacher. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文一： Conflict, though often avoided, is a healthy and teachable part of life.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The Economist’s choice for the 2025 “Word of the Year” is a term that has been given a new meaning for the digital age: “slop.” Originally meaning mud, poor food, leftovers, or nonsense, it now clearly describes the large amount of low-quality, AI-created content ___1___ (fill) the Internet. This new use became especially common after OpenAI’s release of Sora, a video-creation tool that quickly filled social media with artificial clips. So-called “slop merchants” — those ___2___ produce huge amounts of AI-made material — are filling the internet with questionable content. Look for health information on Google, and you will probably find newly made pages full of AI-written text near the top results. ___3___ (move) through Instagram, and soon you might see videos made from false clips with computer-made voices. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), it has become harder to tell real accounts from AI-run “slop-shops” ___4___ (locate) in Pakistan, Nigeria, or Thailand, often pretending to be real political or opinion accounts. While the word sounds negative, the article presents an idea called “sloptimism” (mixing “slop” and “optimism”). The thought is ___5___ if the information space becomes too full of low-value AI material, there might be some good results: ___6___ people get tired of untrustworthy sources, their trust in well-known, reliable news organizations could grow. Studies have shown that after trying to tell AI-made photos from real ones, people are ___7___ (willing) to pay for good journalism. Also, if social media sites become too crowded with slop, they might have to better control their content — or they （ 8 ）ose users who want better-quality exchanges. Therefore, “slop” does more than just describe a problem; it explains a common modern experience. It shows widespread worry about falling information quality, the right use of technology, and the future of online communication. Though not a new word, ___9___new meaning strongly connects with life in the mid-2020s — a time when we may not like this reality, but are clearly living with it, and will probably keep doing so for years___10___ (come).

The new rules, called Basic Requirements for Food Delivery Platform Service Management, were ____12____ by the State Administration for Market Regulation on September 24, 2025. They aim to create a fairer and healthier business environment for everyone ____13____. The standards ____14____ on three main areas. First, they try to stop the “vicious (恶性的) competition” between platforms. For example, platforms are now not allowed to cheat on prices or ____15____ promotion costs on restaurants. They must also pay for their own sales activities and cannot use false terms like “zero-cost purchase.” Second, to fight against ____16____ “ghost kitchen,” which are takeout-only places operating from fake addresses, restaurants will need to upload a video that ____17____ their storefront, dining area, and kitchen, with location and time details. This makes sure food is made in a real and clean environment, as such hidden kitchens often fail to meet basic safety rules. Third, the rules better protect delivery workers. Platforms cannot ____18____ use fines for being late to punish riders. They must also limit daily work to eight hours and send warnings to workers who have been taking orders for over four hours without a break. These changes are important because China has more than 545 million online food delivery users. The fast growth of the industry has led to problems like hidden costs, too much pressure on restaurants, and safety worries for workers. The new standards try to ____19____ the interests of platforms, restaurants, workers, and customers. By setting clearer rules, the government hopes to build a more lasting and ____20____ food delivery system. The draft rules are now open for public comments until mid-October. After some possible changes, the final standards are expected to be put into practice within a year, which could lead to important changes in how food delivery services work in China. III.

(A) In April 2026, New York University awarded its highest faculty honor, the title of Silver Professor, to 35-year-old Chinese mathematician Wang Hong. This landmark achievement has made her one of the world’s top experts in pure mathematics. The rare appointment for a young researcher has drawn wide attention from global academic circles, with many praising her as a rising star in modern mathematics. Wang Hong was born and raised in a small county in Guilin, Guangxi, far from the world’s top academic centers. Her life path has been marked not by sudden fame, but by quiet courage and thoughtful choices. As an undergraduate at Peking University, she first majored in earth sciences, a practical and traditional field. However, driven by a deep love for mathematics, she decided to change her major after careful consideration. That brave decision set her on a path toward mathematical research. She once said that following her true interest was more important than taking a safer career route. She continued her studies in France and the United States, spending many years working on difficult and fundamental mathematical problems with little public recognition. In 2025, together with her partner Joshua Zahl, she successfully proved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想), a century-old problem that had puzzled mathematicians worldwide. Her breakthrough not only earned her international fame but also a lifetime professorship at France’s Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, one of the world’s most respected research institutions. Wang’s high academic reputation was clearly shown during a lecture she gave at Peking University. The hall was completely filled with students and scholars, many of whom had come from other cities just to hear her speak. Among the audience sat Wei Dongyi, one of China’s most famous mathematicians, listening attentively in the front row. That scene was a silent but powerful proof of the respect and influence Wang has earned in the academic world. It showed that even top mathematicians recognize her outstanding contributions. Wang’s story carries a timeless truth: Great achievements do not require an extraordinary start. They come from perseverance, brave choices, and steady devotion. Her rise from an ordinary background to global academic excellence reminds us that quiet, consistent hard work is the key to lasting success. For young people who dream of a career in science, her journey is both inspiring and instructive. 36. What can be inferred about Wang Hong’s personality? A. She prefers to work alone on problems. B. She was forced to change her major. C. She values passion over a safe career. D. She seeks public attention and fame. 37. Why does the author mention Wei Dongyi in paragraph 4? A. To show he is also interested in the conjecture. B. To prove Wang’s high academic reputation. C. To introduce another outstanding mathematician. D. To compare their different research styles. 38. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. Great success needs an unusual start. B. Perseverance and devotion lead to success. C. Fame and luck matter more than hard work. D. Early choices decide one’s final achievement. 39. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Silver Professor: NYU’s Top Honor. B. The Kakeya Conjecture Finally Solved. C. Wang Hong: From Earth to Mathematics. D. How to Get a Lifetime Professorship. (B) Volunteers Needed: Be a “Tech Guide” for Our Seniors! Do you have patience and basic smartphone skills?

This news made headlines all over the world. Research on the advanced autonomous table tennis robot Ace had its complete findings officially published in Nature, a top journal, attracting very wide attention from global technology experts and AI researchers. Everyone in the field was excited about it. For many years in the past, traditional table tennis robots had quite clear technical limitations. They could only operate under simplified conditions, such as lower ball speed and reduced spin, which were not challenging enough for real games. Most early robots simply relied on fixed ball paths from serving machines and failed to deal with flexible, changeable strategies from real human players who could change their plans anytime. As a result, unfortunately, no previous robot could ever compete fairly with well-trained athletes under official competition rules. That is why they never won official matches. In contrast, however, the Ace robot is equipped with very professional hardware and a high-precision perception system which works like human eyes. A flexible high-speed robotic arm enables it to adjust hitting angles and strength instantly with great accuracy, just like a real player or even better. Meanwhile, multiple synchronous high-speed cameras act as very sensitive visual sensors, very accurately capturing the ball’s real-time speed, flight path and complex spin with extremely low delay in no time. This advanced hardware allows the robot to observe the court and respond far faster than human beings, and never tires. Ace also adopts a core physical AI technology called model-free reinforcement learning. This is a new way of training robots. Instead of following preset movements, the robot continuously collects match data in real time, analyzes opponents’ playing styles, and adjusts its own strategies independently during real-time games. It can flexibly deal with very fast attacks and tricky spins in dynamic matches. This makes it a true competitor. In formal tests, which were very strict, all games exactly followed full International Table Tennis Federation rules and were supervised by professional referees. Ace defeated three out of five strong elite (精英) players in standard matches. Nevertheless, it still suffered defeats against professional players, reflecting the big gap that still exists between the robot and top human athletes. It is truly still recognized as the first physical robot in history to reach real human expert-level performance in standard competitive sports. This is a huge step for robot sports. This success highlights the truly great potential of physical AI in handling real-world dynamic tasks like sports. Its core technologies can be applied to smart factories, household service robots and high-precision medical equipment, driving the rapid development of future intelligent technology. These uses will improve our lives a lot. 43. How are the paragraphs from two to six organized? A. Problem description→data analysis→expert opinions→summary B.

People can now decorate their nails with very small 3D flowers or hand-drawn pictures of characters like Shakespeare or Snow White. Jacqueline McClement, a nail artist from Canada, not long ago shared a video of herself painting Vermeer’s well-known painting Girl with a Pearl Earring using nail polish. For those happy to spend the money, there are even man-made nails created from real crystals (水晶) costing about $ 800. The act of decorating nails is not new. In ancient Babylon, men would color their nails with a dark material before fight to look more frightening. In Egypt, people used a natural dye to color their nails as a sign of their place in society. The earliest kind of nail polish goes back to approximately 3,000 BC in China, made from a mix of egg whites, a sticky substance, and wax from bees. ___47___. Nowadays, nail art has become a real form of creativity and competition. People taking part in Nailympia, a major world nail art competition, tirelessly treat their nails like very small surfaces for painting. ___48___. Its popularity is clearly growing: In the United States, the number of nail salons has almost doubled since 2012, reaching about 35,000. In Britain, nail services are the second most chosen beauty treatment after hair styling. Nails today are less about war and more about showing who you are. British fashion photographer Nick Knight describes them as “the last note in a song.” Some nail artists say their work is like the very small painted pictures loved by European rich and powerful families in the 18th century. Anouska Scarlet Anastasia, who makes very small artworks on nails, says that one wrong move with the brush can spoil the whole piece. ___49___. This art form is also getting recognition from official institutions. Comments online even say in fun that such designs should be in museums — and in fact, the first museum just for nail art is planned to open in Shanghai next year. ___50___. While some may not think nail art is serious, nail experts believe it is a difficult and real art form that keeps growing in cultural importance. A. This long history shows that nail (指甲) art is not just a passing trend. B. Some work against the clock, while others show designs worked on for months. C. For example, one artist recently made a nail design based on a famous movie. D. In this way, nail art is becoming a respected part of modern culture. E. Her works, like an Irish cream drink, can take many weeks to finish. F. However, such designs are usually too expensive for most people. III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Conflict is a Healthy and Teachable Part of Life We do not typically watch reality TV to learn good communication. That’s why a scene on Love Island US was so unexpected. Chris forgot to ask his partner Huda for her thoughts. When she calmly pointed this out, he admitted his mistake directly. This was a surprisingly grown-up way to handle disagreement on a show often filled with arguments. It reminds us that even in dramatic settings, conflict can be dealt with maturely. Experts agree that conflict is not something to run away from. “Conflict is normal and healthy,” says Rachel Moheban Wachtel, a social worker. In fact, it can be key to building deeper closeness, understanding, and connection between people. An argument can be a useful chance to learn what truly matters to someone else. Dr. Sara Corse adds that difficult conversations also help us understand our own views better. For example, even a simple disagreement about loading a dishwasher can teach us something new about responsibility or personal habits. Avoiding conflict may keep peace temporarily, but it often leads to hidden anger and distance. Facing it bravely, however, can turn a potential fight into a stepping stone for growth. Since many of us are never taught how to manage conflict well, here are two expert methods. The first is to listen with care. Try “understanding reflection,” which means listening actively and then repeating the other person’s point in your own words. The goal is to make them feel heard, not to immediately reply with your own story. This simple act can lower defensiveness and open the door to real discussion. The second method is to pause when emotions run high. If a talk becomes too heated, it is wise to take a short break. Importantly, you should explain that you want to continue the conversation later, when both of you are calmer and can talk more productively. A short pause is not running away — it’s a strategic choice to protect the relationship. In the end, conflict is a natural part of all relationships. Learning to handle it patiently and respectfully is a valuable skill that takes practice. It turns difficult moments into opportunities for personal growth and stronger bonds with others. So next time you face a disagreement, remember: Handled well, conflict is not a threat but a teacher. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
