Even the students showing not much interest in literature are sure to sharpen their skills and form a community of like-minded young wordsmiths.(该项目帮助参与者提升写作能力，在探讨相关社会议题的过程中表达自己的意见。即便是对文学兴趣淡薄的学生，也必定能精进写作功底，并结识一群志同道合、热爱文字的同龄人。)”可知，这个项目能够帮助学生打磨写作技能。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Otis College of Art and Design (OCAD)部分“It ends with an exhibition where students can share their own work with the public.(项目最后会举办展览，学生可以向公众分享自己的作品。)”可知，举办展览是为了向参观者展示学生的创作。 B What would you do if you encountered a homeless person on the street? Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. Brian Peterson used to be one of them. One evening, Peterson was completely lost in a book, feeling as if the words were speaking directly to his heart, when the loud and familiar singing from the street outside broke the silence. In the past, he would have closed the window, ignoring it. But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. He learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris, a musician from Kentucky who came to California to chase his dream, yet ended up living on the street for a decade. Inspired by Faris’s story, Peterson, an art school graduate, offered to paint his portrait. This small gesture gave birth to Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization devoted to painting portraits of unhoused individuals. Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories. As public interest in the portraits grew, Peterson, the founder of the organization, began selling the large, signed paintings for thousands of dollars. Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career. Over eight years, the project expanded. What began with a simple conversation has grown into Faces of Mankind, a nationwide collective of artists. It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope. 4. What is people’s general attitude toward the homeless? A. Doubtful. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Unconcerned. 5. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Love Does: Hope from Street B. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work C. Life Has Ups and Downs D. The Secret of an Artist: A Must-Have 6. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings? A. Capturing people’s inner worlds. B. Reflecting people’s social position. C. Applying pencil-drawing styles. D. Expressing artists’ personal feelings. 7. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless? A. It teaches painting skills. B. It records albums for them. C. It provides funding support. D. It collects money from the public. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述布莱恩・彼得森从前对街头流浪者视而不见，一次受书籍启发与流浪音乐人马特交谈，随后创立公益组织为流浪者绘制肖像，售卖画作并将半数收益分给画中人，该项目多年发展壮大，证明善意能让被忽视的人重获希望。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. (大多数人在匆忙的日常生活中，会移开视线、加快脚步，或是攥紧自己的包。有些人可能会往杯子里丢几个硬币，但很少会停下聊天，甚至和对方进行眼神交流。)”可推知，大众对流浪者普遍是漠不关心的态度。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. (但今晚，受这本书传递的爱与联结的主旨推动，他鼓起勇气走出去，开启了对话。)”可推知，这本书的主题是“爱与联结”，且促使彼得森去关注街头流浪者。只有A选项“Love Does: Hope from Street(《爱即如此：来自街头的希望》)”符合主题。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories. (彼得森运用鲜艳的色彩创作，不仅旨在捕捉流浪者的外表，还意在捕捉他们独特的性格、情感和不为人知的人生故事。)”可知，彼得森的画作特点是捕捉人物的内在世界。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career. (售卖画作一半的利润会存入每位肖像主角的爱心账户，帮助他们改善处境，一些人用这笔钱支付食物或医疗费用，法里斯则用他的那笔钱录制了专辑，继续音乐生涯。)”可知，该组织通过为流浪者提供资金支持提供帮助。 C Do you feel like a completely different person when you’re super tired? Maybe you stared at homework, unable to focus, feeling powerless as tasks seemed overwhelming. Now don’t blame yourself. This isn’t just in your head — it’s science! Scientists have found that missing sleep will mostly weaken one part of the brain: the prefrontal cortex (前额叶). The prefrontal cortex lies just behind your forehead. It helps you plan, focus, solve problems, and manage emotions. Unlike older brain areas that handle basic survival, this region is newer and takes years to mature (成熟). That makes it powerful — but also delicate. It depends heavily on rest to stay balanced. Without enough sleep, the prefrontal cortex struggles, and your thinking starts to suffer. One of the earliest signs of sleep loss is that you have trouble focusing, a direct result of a worn-out prefrontal cortex. Since this key brain area cannot process information efficiently, your mind may wander, you may read lines repeatedly without understanding, and quick everyday tasks drag on for hours. These issues don’t come from laziness — they happen because your brain is running low on energy. Besides just affecting your concentration, sleep loss deeply impacts how you feel. Have you ever gotten angry with a friend over a tiny joke or burst into tears because you dropped a pencil? When the prefrontal cortex grows tired, it fails to control normal emotions. You might think you are handling things well, but in reality, you have lost self-control and are reacting without thinking. Fortunately, this situation can be easily improved. A few nights of sound sleep can restore focus, calm emotions, and sharpen judgment. If you’re having trouble concentrating or feeling emotionally unstable, ask yourself: Did I get enough rest lately? 8. Which of the following can explain “overwhelming” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Common. B. Brief. C. Stressful. D. Rewarding. 9. What do we know about the prefrontal cortex from the text? A. It suffers when working much. B. It controls basic survival functions. C. It manages advanced thinking skills. D. It matures earlier than other brain areas. 10. What does the author try to talk about in paragraph 3? A. The function of the prefrontal cortex. B. The harm of losing emotional control. C. The methods of improving bad moods. D. The effects of prefrontal cortex’s overwork. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To solve sleep problems. B. To analyze teenagers’ emotions. C. To introduce brain structure. D. To stress the value of sufficient sleep. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍人在极度疲惫时状态变差的科学原因，解释睡眠不足会削弱大脑前额叶功能，进而导致注意力不集中、情绪失控等问题，并指出充足睡眠能够修复大脑状态，强调充足睡眠的重要意义。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Maybe you stared at homework, unable to focus, feeling powerless as tasks seemed overwhelming.(也许你盯着作业，无法集中注意力，因为任务似乎overwhelming而感到无能为力。)”可知，人在疲惫时，会觉得任务繁重、难以应对、充满压力。结合语境可判断，overwhelming表示“令人难以承受的、使人倍感压力的”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It helps you plan, focus, solve problems, and manage emotions.(它帮助人们规划事务、集中注意力、解决问题以及管控情绪。)”可知，前额叶负责掌控高阶思维能力。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“One of the earliest signs of sleep loss is that you have trouble focusing, a direct result of a worn-out prefrontal cortex.(睡眠不足最早的表现之一是无法集中注意力，这是前额叶疲惫的直接结果。)”和“When the prefrontal cortex grows tired, it fails to control normal emotions.(当前额叶疲惫时，它无法控制正常的情绪。)”可知，本段围绕疲惫的前额叶展开，详细介绍了前额叶过度工作带来的影响。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。全文围绕睡眠不足损害前额叶功能、影响人的思维和情绪展开，结尾说明优质睡眠可以修复大脑状态，文章旨在强调充足睡眠的重要价值。 D With AI voice assistants and chatbots becoming increasingly common in daily life, talking to AI in public often feels like broadcasting your private thoughts to strangers, creating a major privacy headache. Fortunately, an Asian start-up Verne Technologies is developing a noise-cancelling mask to keep your AI voice chats private. The upcoming product is called the Wearphone, which promises to lower your voice by 10 to 20 decibels (分贝). While wearing the mask, you interact with various chatbots, making it work as a voice input device. For phone calls and virtual meetings, the mask also enables you to speak in a crowded office space or café without giving away your private information. Though the product is still in development, it is expected to feature both active noise cancellation and physical soundproofing. Yet there is one aspect holding it back from wide use. A tester says covering his face with the mask stops him from communicating naturally with people around. The concept trades privacy for awkwardness, as users have to cover their faces all the time. This not only creates a barrier to face-to-face communication but also makes people feel uneasy in public, which may greatly prevent its social acceptance. Still, Verne Technologies is betting that the AI chatbot era will create a need for at least some users to demand extra privacy. The company says the mask itself is built with style and comfort in mind to encourage adoption. In addition, the mask can be taken apart into pieces, allowing you to clean the inside with UV light, which addresses easy-to-clean concerns for a wearable device. Finally, the Wearphone serves as a stylish solution to your private AI interactions in public. Yet, since only a model has been shown, and improvements are still in progress, you need to be patient to experience this invention firsthand. 12. What is people’s concern while using voice-based AI? A. Poor voice quality. B. Privacy risk. C. Background noise. D. Slow response. 13. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the Wearphone? A. How it operates. B. Where it can be used. C. Why it is created. D. What advantages it has. 14. What may influence people to accept the product? A. Its social discomfort. B. Its inconvenient operation. C. Its difficulty in cleaning. D. Its interruption to public talks. 15. Where does the product stand at present? A. Already on sale. B. Still in test stage. C. Ready for consumers. D. Just a concept idea. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍降噪面罩Wearphone的功能、缺陷、改进及当前研发进度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“With AI voice assistants and chatbots becoming increasingly common in daily life, talking to AI in public often feels like broadcasting your private thoughts to strangers, creating a major privacy headache.(人工智能语音助手和聊天机器人在日常生活中愈发普及，在公共场合和人工智能对话如同把私密想法说给陌生人，带来严重隐私隐患。)”可知，人们使用语音AI时担心隐私泄露。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“While wearing the mask, you interact with various chatbots, making it work as a voice input device. For phone calls and virtual meetings, the mask also enables you to speak in a crowded office space or café without giving away your private information. Though the product is still in development, it is expected to feature both active noise cancellation and physical soundproofing.(戴上这款面罩，你就能和各类聊天机器人互动，充当语音输入设备。打电话、线上会议时，在拥挤场所交谈也不会泄露隐私，还兼具主动降噪与物理隔音功能。)”可知，本段介绍了这款产品拥有的各项优势。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The concept trades privacy for awkwardness, as users have to cover their faces all the time. This not only creates a barrier to face-to-face communication but also makes people feel uneasy in public, which may greatly prevent its social acceptance.(这款产品靠牺牲社交舒适来换取隐私，使用者必须全程遮住面部。这不仅会阻碍面对面交流，还会让人们在公共场合感到不自在，很可能大幅降低大众对它的接受度。)”可知，使用时带来的社交不适感影响人们接纳该产品。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Yet, since only a model has been shown, and improvements are still in progress, you need to be patient to experience this invention firsthand.(然而，由于目前仅展示了一个模型，且改进工作仍在进行中，您需保持耐心，以便亲自体验这项发明。)”以及第二段“Though the product is still in development, it is expected to feature both active noise cancellation and physical soundproofing.(尽管这款产品仍在研发阶段，但预计它将同时具备主动降噪和物理隔音双重功能。)” 可知，产品尚处于测试研发阶段。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Going Barefoot in Nature Going barefoot on grass, sand, or soil may seem like a simple childhood habit.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者带女儿下海笼观大白鲨，女儿近距离直面鲨鱼后心生感悟，画出画作点明人类只是海洋的访客，此次经历让作者明白要走出舒适区、尊重所有生命、保有孩童般的好奇。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：然而，当一条大白鲨在投放诱饵等待一个小时后终于靠近时，这正是我们鼓励孩子们去做的事。A. reminded使想起；B. encouraged鼓励；C. warned警告；D. prevented阻止。根据前文“Few parents would consider it as family fun to get sharks circling within inches of their children.”可知，很少有家长愿意让鲨鱼近距离围着孩子，Yet表示转折，说明作者一家主动鼓励孩子去体验这件事。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：然而，当一条大白鲨在投放诱饵等待一个小时后终于靠近时，这正是我们鼓励孩子们去做的事。A. left离开；B. disappeared消失；C. dived潜水；D. approached靠近。根据后文“The shark appeared silently, circled the cage once, suddenly turned and stared at her”可知，鲨鱼绕笼子、盯着女儿，说明等待一小时后鲨鱼终于靠近，才能近距离观鲨。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：轮到我女儿的时候，她怀着好奇钻进了笼子。A. patience耐心；B. pride骄傲；C. curiosity好奇；D. fear恐惧。根据后文“Being lowered, she grasped the bars, eyes full of wonder.”可知，女孩眼中充满惊奇，对应女孩带着好奇心进入笼子。 【24题详解】 考查副词。句意：鲨鱼悄无声息地现身，绕着笼子游了一圈，突然转过身，一动不动地盯着她看了好一会儿。A. coldly冷淡地；B. wildly疯狂地；C. fixedly一动不动地；D. nervously紧张地。根据空前的“stared at her”可知，鲨鱼盯着女孩看，fixedly表示“一动不动地、目不转睛地”，最符合鲨鱼盯着猎物的形象。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：可她没有惊慌失措，反倒发出一声惊叹。A. anger愤怒；B. confusion困惑；C. panic惊慌；D. astonishment惊讶。根据前文“The shark appeared silently, circled the cage once, suddenly turned and stared at her”及“My heart nearly stopped.”可知，作者看到鲨鱼盯着女儿心都快停了，按常理遇到这种情况人会恐慌，But转折后说女孩没有恐慌反而惊叹，符合逻辑。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：那天晚上晚些时候，我女儿分享道：“起初，我很害怕，但当我看着那只鲨鱼的眼睛时，我没有看到威胁，而是一个热情的海洋主人。”A. threat威胁；B. burden负担；C. challenge挑战；D. chance机会。根据空后的“but a welcoming ocean owner.”可知，前后对比，此处需要与“热情的主人”相反的词，大众对鲨鱼的固有印象是“危险的威胁”。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：她的这番话深深触动了我们所有人。A. struck打动；B. troubled使烦恼；C. comforted安慰；D. disturbed打扰。根据空前的“Her words”可知，此处表示女儿的话让作者一行人深有感触，struck意为“打动、给……留下深刻印象”，符合语境。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：的确，相比人类，鲨鱼才是海洋真正的原住民。A. dangerous危险的；B. local本土的；C. harmful有害的；D. strange奇怪的。根据后文“We’re guests in their home”可知，我们是鲨鱼家园的客人，相比人类，鲨鱼才是海洋本土居民。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：第二天早上，我们收拾行李准备离开时，女儿把她的画递给了我——画里有一条自在游弋的鲨鱼，还有一个小女孩静静望着它。A. craft工艺；B. gift礼物；C. prize奖品；D. drawing画作。根据后文“she wrote beneath the picture”可知，女儿递给作者的是她画的画。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：第二天早上，我们收拾行李准备离开时，女儿把她的画递给了我——画里有一条自在游弋的鲨鱼，还有一个小女孩静静望着它。A. girl女孩；B. baby婴儿；C. sailor水手；D. animal动物。根据前文“my daughter”可知，这是作者女儿的画，画的主角是鲨鱼和一个小女孩（就是女儿自己），符合逻辑。 【31题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：“爸爸，我们只是它们家园里的客人，”她在照片下方写道，“有礼貌的访客绝不会擅自闯入。”A. show off炫耀；B. get away逃离；C. break in闯入；D. give up放弃。根据前文“We’re guests in their home”可知，女儿认为：人类只是海洋的客人，而有礼貌的客人从不擅自闯入别人的家。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：这个简单的道理出自一个身处被鲨鱼环绕的笼子里的孩子之口，我会永远铭记于心。A. circled环绕；B. protected保护；C. chased追逐；D. attacked攻击。根据前文“The shark appeared silently, circled the cage once, suddenly turned and stared at her”可知，鲨鱼绕着笼子转了一圈，此处指“被鲨鱼环绕的笼子里的孩子说出的道理”，呼应前文情节。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：这场旅程的意义远不止走出舒适区，它还教会我们珍惜并尊重每一个生命，怀揣孩童般的好奇心去看待这个世界。A. staying停留；B. stepping迈步；C. wandering闲逛；D. escaping逃跑。根据文章开头“Few parents would consider it as family fun to get sharks circling within inches of their children.”可知，很少有家长愿意让鲨鱼近距离围着孩子，结合前文可知，作者愿意让孩子尝试这件事是挑战自我、走出舒适区的经历，固定搭配step out of comfort zone表示“走出舒适区”。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：这场旅程的意义远不止走出舒适区，它还教会我们珍惜并尊重每一个生命，怀揣孩童般的好奇心去看待这个世界。A. free自由的；B. respect尊重；C. control控制；D. consume消耗。and连接并列动词，cherish意为“珍惜”， respect与其语义并列，也符合“人类是海洋客人”的核心观点。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：这场旅程的意义远不止走出舒适区，它还教会我们珍惜并尊重每一个生命，怀揣孩童般的好奇心去看待这个世界。A. hope希望；B. warmth温暖；C. value价值；D. wonder好奇心。前文提到女孩“eyes full of wonder”，此处呼应，表示要像孩子一样怀揣好奇心看待世界，呼应全文对海洋生物的好奇与敬畏主线。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 School Bamboo Weaving Courses A school has offered students bamboo-weaving after-school courses ____36____ (spread) traditional Chinese craft culture.

After winning a regional youth art competition, I was selected to attend an international art camp in China the following month. Together with students from different countries, I explored different forms of art and learned about Chinese culture. One afternoon, I visited a local museum. At the museum gift shop, I picked up an art book featuring famous Chinese paintings. One painting called Night-Shining White immediately caught my attention. I could feel its power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves. The movement looked so natural and powerful that they seemed ready to jump out of the painting. Later, I learned that the painting was created by Han Gan, a famous Chinese artist from the Tang Dynasty, who was well known for his horse paintings. Inspired by the masterpiece, I decided to paint a horse for the camp’s final exhibition. I wanted my work to show the same strength and spirit that I had seen in Han Gan’s painting. However, things did not go as planned. No matter how hard I tried, my horse looked lifeless. The body seemed awkward, and the eyes showed no emotion. One sketch (草图) after another ended up in the trash bin. Feeling frustrated, I stayed in the back of the art room one evening, staring at another unfinished painting. Just then, my instructor, Ms. Li, walked in. She looked carefully at my drawing and smiled. “Han Gan didn’t become a great painter by simply copying other paintings,” she said. “He spent years observing real horses. If you want to understand his art, you should first understand the animals themselves.” Then she handed me a sketchbook. “Why don’t you visit the city equestrian (马术) club this weekend?” 注意： (1)续写词数应为120个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sketchbook in hand, I set out for the equestrian club to observe horses. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, my painting was displayed at the camp’s final exhibition. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Sketchbook in hand, I set out for the equestrian club to observe horses. I stood quietly beside the fence, carefully watching the horses run, kick and lift their heads. I noted down every shift of muscle and vivid expression. The more time I spent observing these animals, the more my understanding of them grew. Day after day, I sketched the horses, my brush presenting every detail I saw with my own eyes, and my horse on the paper finally came alive. Ms. Li was right. Two weeks later, my painting was displayed at the camp’s final exhibition. Remarkably, my painting instantly stood out among global kids’ creations, capturing many viewers. They spoke highly of my skills, saying that my horse could gallop off the paper. Ms. Li gave me a knowing smile. Proud and fulfilled as I was, I did understand that the highest praise should go to Han Gan and the ancient Chinese fine arts, for they never came from blind copying, but from real life observation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的绘画成长为线索展开，讲述作者受唐代名画《照夜白图》启发，想要创作骏马画作参展，却因一味临摹、缺乏观察屡屡失败。在老师的指点下亲身观察真实马匹、用心写生，最终完成生动画作，并领悟艺术源于生活的深刻道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者前往马术俱乐部实地观察马匹，认真记录细节、坚持写生，笔下的骏马终于变得鲜活生动。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者的画作在展览中脱颖而出，收获好评，作者领悟到艺术贵在观察生活、而非盲目临摹。 2.续写线索：实地观察——细致写生——不断练习——画作鲜活——展览出彩——收获认可——感悟艺术真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①记录：note down/write down/record ②呈现：present/showcase 情绪类 ①满足：fulfilled/content ②赞扬：pride/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Day after day, I sketched the horses, my brush presenting every detail I saw with my own eyes, and my horse on the paper finally came alive.（运用了独立主格结构以及省略关系代词的定语从句） [高分句型2] Proud and fulfilled as I was, I did understand that the highest praise should go to Han Gan and the ancient Chinese fine arts.（运用了as引导让步状语从句的倒装结构以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025 ~ 2026学年第二学期高一年级期末学业诊断 英 语 试 卷 (考试时间：上午7:30 ~ 9:30) 说明：本试卷为闭卷笔答，答题时间120分钟，满分150分。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Here are some options. Meta Summer Academy (MSA) Participants get an up-close look at the day-to-day operations of the world’s most powerful social media companies including Meta. Students will build work experience and skills required for a successful tech career. Those who receive a “Fail” grade for the schoolwork will be refused to participate in the program. Los Angeles Wordsmiths Project (LAWP) University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) focuses on a range of writing types. The program helps participants develop writing skills and find their voice while engaging with relevant social issues. Even the students showing not much interest in literature are sure to sharpen their skills and form a community of like-minded young wordsmiths. Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer Research (SIMR) Designed for high schoolers who have a passion for biological sciences and medicine, the program aims to increase interest in the biological sciences and medicine, providing an insight into how scientific research is conducted. Otis College of Art and Design (OCAD) Ideal for experienced artists aged 14.5+, participants will explore pathways and connect with creative peers while experiencing a slice of college life. It ends with an exhibition where students can share their own work with the public. 1. Which of the following programs has academic requirement? A. MSA. B. LAWP. C. SIMR. D. OCAD. 2.

To display creations to visitors. B What would you do if you encountered a homeless person on the street? Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. Brian Peterson used to be one of them. One evening, Peterson was completely lost in a book, feeling as if the words were speaking directly to his heart, when the loud and familiar singing from the street outside broke the silence. In the past, he would have closed the window, ignoring it. But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. He learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris, a musician from Kentucky who came to California to chase his dream, yet ended up living on the street for a decade. Inspired by Faris’s story, Peterson, an art school graduate, offered to paint his portrait. This small gesture gave birth to Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization devoted to painting portraits of unhoused individuals. Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories. As public interest in the portraits grew, Peterson, the founder of the organization, began selling the large, signed paintings for thousands of dollars. Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career. Over eight years, the project expanded. What began with a simple conversation has grown into Faces of Mankind, a nationwide collective of artists. It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope. 4. What is people’s general attitude toward the homeless? A. Doubtful. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Unconcerned. 5. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Love Does: Hope from Street B. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work C. Life Has Ups and Downs D. The Secret of an Artist: A Must-Have 6. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings? A. Capturing people’s inner worlds. B. Reflecting people’s social position. C. Applying pencil-drawing styles. D. Expressing artists’ personal feelings. 7. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless? A. It teaches painting skills. B. It records albums for them. C. It provides funding support. D. It collects money from the public. C Do you feel like a completely different person when you’re super tired? Maybe you stared at homework, unable to focus, feeling powerless as tasks seemed overwhelming. Now don’t blame yourself. This isn’t just in your head — it’s science! Scientists have found that missing sleep will mostly weaken one part of the brain: the prefrontal cortex (前额叶). The prefrontal cortex lies just behind your forehead. It helps you plan, focus, solve problems, and manage emotions. Unlike older brain areas that handle basic survival, this region is newer and takes years to mature (成熟). That makes it powerful — but also delicate. It depends heavily on rest to stay balanced. Without enough sleep, the prefrontal cortex struggles, and your thinking starts to suffer. One of the earliest signs of sleep loss is that you have trouble focusing, a direct result of a worn-out prefrontal cortex. Since this key brain area cannot process information efficiently, your mind may wander, you may read lines repeatedly without understanding, and quick everyday tasks drag on for hours. These issues don’t come from laziness — they happen because your brain is running low on energy. Besides just affecting your concentration, sleep loss deeply impacts how you feel. Have you ever gotten angry with a friend over a tiny joke or burst into tears because you dropped a pencil? When the prefrontal cortex grows tired, it fails to control normal emotions. You might think you are handling things well, but in reality, you have lost self-control and are reacting without thinking. Fortunately, this situation can be easily improved. A few nights of sound sleep can restore focus, calm emotions, and sharpen judgment. If you’re having trouble concentrating or feeling emotionally unstable, ask yourself: Did I get enough rest lately? 8. Which of the following can explain “overwhelming” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Common. B. Brief. C. Stressful. D. Rewarding. 9. What do we know about the prefrontal cortex from the text? A. It suffers when working much. B. It controls basic survival functions. C. It manages advanced thinking skills. D. It matures earlier than other brain areas. 10. What does the author try to talk about in paragraph 3? A. The function of the prefrontal cortex. B. The harm of losing emotional control. C. The methods of improving bad moods. D. The effects of prefrontal cortex’s overwork. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To solve sleep problems. B. To analyze teenagers’ emotions. C. To introduce brain structure. D. To stress the value of sufficient sleep. D With AI voice assistants and chatbots becoming increasingly common in daily life, talking to AI in public often feels like broadcasting your private thoughts to strangers, creating a major privacy headache. Fortunately, an Asian start-up Verne Technologies is developing a noise-cancelling mask to keep your AI voice chats private. The upcoming product is called the Wearphone, which promises to lower your voice by 10 to 20 decibels (分贝). While wearing the mask, you interact with various chatbots, making it work as a voice input device. For phone calls and virtual meetings, the mask also enables you to speak in a crowded office space or café without giving away your private information. Though the product is still in development, it is expected to feature both active noise cancellation and physical soundproofing. Yet there is one aspect holding it back from wide use. A tester says covering his face with the mask stops him from communicating naturally with people around. The concept trades privacy for awkwardness, as users have to cover their faces all the time. This not only creates a barrier to face-to-face communication but also makes people feel uneasy in public, which may greatly prevent its social acceptance. Still, Verne Technologies is betting that the AI chatbot era will create a need for at least some users to demand extra privacy. The company says the mask itself is built with style and comfort in mind to encourage adoption. In addition, the mask can be taken apart into pieces, allowing you to clean the inside with UV light, which addresses easy-to-clean concerns for a wearable device. Finally, the Wearphone serves as a stylish solution to your private AI interactions in public. Yet, since only a model has been shown, and improvements are still in progress, you need to be patient to experience this invention firsthand. 12. What is people’s concern while using voice-based AI? A. Poor voice quality. B. Privacy risk. C. Background noise. D. Slow response. 13. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the Wearphone? A. How it operates. B. Where it can be used. C. Why it is created. D. What advantages it has. 14. What may influence people to accept the product? A. Its social discomfort. B. Its inconvenient operation. C. Its difficulty in cleaning. D. Its interruption to public talks. 15. Where does the product stand at present? A. Already on sale. B. Still in test stage. C. Ready for consumers. D. Just a concept idea. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Going Barefoot in Nature Going barefoot on grass, sand, or soil may seem like a simple childhood habit. Yet today, more adults are rediscovering it as a meaningful way to reconnect with nature. ____16____ The idea centers on direct contact between the skin and the natural surface of the Earth. ____17____ In modern life, many of us spend most of our time indoors, surrounded by concrete and screens. As a result, opportunities to experience nature directly have become increasingly rare. Walking barefoot offers a simple way to slow down and become more aware of the world around us. Whether you are walking along a beach, standing on cool grass, or sitting beneath a tree, direct contact with nature often stimulates your senses. ____18____ As your attention shifts away from daily worries and toward the present moment, you may begin to feel calmer and more focused. Of course, going barefoot should be both regular and safe. So try to avoid stepping on sharp stones or glass. ____19____ More importantly, going barefoot reminds us that humans are part of nature rather than separate from it. ____20____ By taking time to experience the natural world directly, we may develop a greater appreciation for the environment around us.

After winning a regional youth art competition, I was selected to attend an international art camp in China the following month. Together with students from different countries, I explored different forms of art and learned about Chinese culture. One afternoon, I visited a local museum. At the museum gift shop, I picked up an art book featuring famous Chinese paintings. One painting called Night-Shining White immediately caught my attention. I could feel its power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves. The movement looked so natural and powerful that they seemed ready to jump out of the painting. Later, I learned that the painting was created by Han Gan, a famous Chinese artist from the Tang Dynasty, who was well known for his horse paintings. Inspired by the masterpiece, I decided to paint a horse for the camp’s final exhibition. I wanted my work to show the same strength and spirit that I had seen in Han Gan’s painting. However, things did not go as planned. No matter how hard I tried, my horse looked lifeless. The body seemed awkward, and the eyes showed no emotion. One sketch (草图) after another ended up in the trash bin. Feeling frustrated, I stayed in the back of the art room one evening, staring at another unfinished painting. Just then, my instructor, Ms. Li, walked in. She looked carefully at my drawing and smiled. “Han Gan didn’t become a great painter by simply copying other paintings,” she said. “He spent years observing real horses. If you want to understand his art, you should first understand the animals themselves.” Then she handed me a sketchbook. “Why don’t you visit the city equestrian (马术) club this weekend?” 注意： (1)续写词数应为120个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sketchbook in hand, I set out for the equestrian club to observe horses. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, my painting was displayed at the camp’s final exhibition. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
