They all have jobs that combine STEM skills and art. Such careers are called STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) careers. You probably know something about them. However, there are many more that you may be unfamiliar with. Check out three careers below. Scientific animator Do you like to draw? If so, you might like a career in scientific animation. A scientific animator creates drawings or video clips of scientific processes. Cameron Slayden is a scientific animator, who studied art and science in college. Now, he draws for Science magazine and develops short animations for TV shows. The average starting salary is over $70,000 a year. Metalsmith Working with metal, metalsmiths need artistic skills and a knowledge of science and math. Valerie Ostenak, a metalsmith, works with steel, gold, and other metals to make jewelry, furniture, and sculptures. Metalsmiths can also work in repairing historic artifacts (文物) for places like museums. You can learn the skills at art colleges or by working with a professional metalsmith. Metalsmiths earn about $40,000 a year when they start. Acoustic designer If music is your passion, you might consider a career as an acoustic designer. They make sure the sound quality in different spaces is good. Trevor Cox is an acoustic designer. To create the best sound, he considers a lot of different factors like room size and wall materials. Some colleges offer degrees in acoustics. Often, these degrees involve classes in physics. The annual starting salary is about $100,000. There are so many possibilities in STEAM, and the possibilities will continue to grow. 1. What is the requirement for being a metalsmith? A. History repair experience. B. Scientific animation skills. C. An acoustic design license. D. Art and science knowledge. 2. According to the text, which career has the highest starting salary? A. Scientific animation. B. Metalsmith. C. Acoustic Designer. D. Architects. 3. Who is this text most likely intended for? A. High-school students. B. College teacher. C. Workers in STEAM career. D. Professional artists. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍STEAM职业，并详细介绍了三种不常见的相关职业及其要求等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Metalsmith中的“Working with metal, metalsmiths need artistic skills and a knowledge of science and math.(从事金属加工，金匠需要具备艺术才能以及科学和数学知识)”可知，成为金属工匠的要求是具备艺术技能和科学、数学知识。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Scientific animator中的“The average starting salary is over $70,000 a year.(科学动画师的平均起薪超过每年7万美元)”Metalsmith中的“Metalsmiths earn about $40,000 a year when they start.(金属工匠的起薪约为每年4万美元)”、Acoustic designer中的“The annual starting salary is about $100,000.(声学设计师的年度起薪约为10万美元)”可知，声学设计师的起薪最高。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“You probably know something about them. However, there are many more that you may be unfamiliar with. Check out three careers below.(你可能对它们有所了解。不过，还有很多你可能不熟悉的。下面来了解三种职业)”以及第二段中提及的“Cameron Slayden is a scientific animator, who studied art and science in college.(卡梅隆·斯莱登是一位科学动画师，他在大学期间主修了艺术与科学两门学科)”，第三段中“You can learn the skills at art colleges or by working with a professional metalsmith. (你可以在艺术学院学习这些技能，或者通过与专业金属工匠合作来掌握)”和第四段中“Some colleges offer degrees in acoustics.(一些大学提供声学学位)”可推知，本文最可能面向对职业选择有需求的高中生，向他们介绍STEAM相关职业。 B Sonam Wangdrak’s story begins not in a driver’s cab, but on the vast grasslands of the Xizang plateau. As a herdsman’s son, his first encounter with a train was a colorful picture in a textbook at age seven — a spark that lit a lifelong dream. For a boy who only began learning Mandarin in fourth grade, the path seemed distant. Yet, this dream carried him to the Lanzhou Railway School, where he spent holidays alone in his dormitory, determined to conquer tough subjects like mechanical drawing and circuit principles. This commitment led him into the next life chapter when, in 2007, he joined the Qinghai-Xizang Railway Company, beginning a decade-long journey of honing his craft. The real challenge arrived with the Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway, Xizang’s first electrified line, snaking through mountains and over rivers. To master its demanding curves and slopes, Sonam designed a unique test: placing a whiteboard pen upright on the console. Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle (油门) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth.   He operated on a simple principle: there was always room for improvement. He would rush to learn from every engine failure, even on his days off and kept a notebook of technical notes. His most famous feat, however, was improving train coupling by balancing a water-filled cup and a stack of coins until he could link the carriages without disturbing them. A video of this “steady hand” miracle later won widespread admiration online. On June 25, 2021, Sonam entered the cab of the Fuxing bullet train as its first driver on the new high-altitude line. With over 750,000 kilometers of safe driving and zero accidents to his name, he has been honored as a “National Model Worker.” From a child fascinated by a picture to the “Dragon Tamer” of the world’s highest railways, Sonam Wangdrak’s journey is a proof to how a single dream, fueled by constant dedication, can mount the roof of the world. 4. What initially inspired Sonam Wangdrak’s dream? A. A photograph of a train in his school book. B. His early mastery of the Mandarin language. C. A visit to a train driver’s cab in his childhood. D. His experience of moving from grassland to town. 5. What does “honing his craft” mean in paragraph2? A. Repairing his tools. B. Polishing his skills. C. Breaking his limits. D. Recording his work. 6. What qualities can best describe Sonam Wangdrak? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Curious and adventurous. C. Self-disciplined and innovative. D. Persistent and perfection-seeking. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. A man who has a brilliant career. B. The growth of Xizang’s rail technology. C. The success of a national railway project. D. A model realizing his dream via devotion. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了桑杰旺堆从一名对火车充满向往的草原牧童，凭借不懈付出和执着追求，成为青藏铁路复兴号动车组首位司机并荣获“全国劳动模范”称号的追梦故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As a herdsman’s son, his first encounter with a train was a colorful picture in a textbook at age seven — a spark that lit a lifelong dream.(作为一名牧民的儿子，他七岁时第一次“接触”火车，是课本上一张色彩鲜艳的图片——这颗火花点燃了他一生的梦想)”可知，最初点燃桑杰旺堆梦想的是课本上一张火车的图片。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词组下文“To master its demanding curves and slopes, Sonam designed a unique test: placing a whiteboard pen upright on the console. Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle ( 油门 ) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth.(为了熟练驾驭这条线路难度极高的弯道和坡道，桑杰旺堆设计了一个独特的测试方法：将一支白板笔竖直立在操作台上。每当笔倒下来，他都会记录下对应的时间、位置和油门档位，始终坚持练习，直到列车行驶得平稳无虞)”描述了他为掌握线路曲线和坡度所做的努力。由此可知，honing his craft指的是“打磨技能、提升专业能力”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Yet, this dream carried him to the Lanzhou Railway School, where he spent holidays alone in his dormitory, determined to conquer tough subjects like mechanical drawing and circuit principles.(然而，这个梦想让他进入了兰州铁路学校，在那里他假期独自留在宿舍，决心攻克机械制图和电路原理等难题)”、第二段中的“Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle (油门) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth.(每次笔倒了，他都会记录下时间、位置和油门位置，一直坚持到行车变得完美平稳)”以及第三段中的“He operated on a simple principle: there was always room for improvement. He would rush to learn from every engine failure, even on his days off and kept a notebook of technical notes.(他秉持着一个简单的原则：永远有改进的空间。即使在休息日，他也会第一时间从每次发动机故障中学习，并坚持记录技术笔记)”可推知，桑杰旺堆既执着坚持，又追求完美。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的“From a child fascinated by a picture to the “Dragon Tamer” of the world’s highest railways, Sonam Wangdrak’s journey is a proof to how a single dream, fueled by constant dedication, can mount the roof of the world.(从一个被图片吸引的孩子，到世界海拔最高铁路的“驯龙者”，桑杰旺堆的经历证明了一个梦想，在持续的付出滋养下，能够登上世界之巅)”可知，文章主要讲述了桑杰旺堆通过不懈奉献实现梦想的故事。故选D项。 C At the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the over 600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, an animation played guards of honor marching at the same pace across a projector screen, their movements in harmony with the graceful melodies of ancient rituals (仪式). “Through virtual and digital display, cultural relics have become ‘alive’, enabling viewers to feel as if they were in ancient times,” said Sun Xiaobing, deputy director of Art Exhibitions China. In recent years, China has used science and technology to breathe new life into its cultural relics and heritage, enriching people’s lives while also enhancing the nation’s cultural influence. The newly revised cultural relics protection law, issued in March, states firmly that technology, information, digitalization, and digital display should all come to the fore in cultural relic protection. Cutting-edge technologies like AI, VR and AR provide multidimensional methods for the preservation, application and exhibition of relics, said Li Li, deputy director of the China Academy of Cultural Heritage. In archaeology, the National Cultural Heritage Administration aims to advance technological level, emphasizing genetic analysis, precision dating and other fields. Zhang Zhiguo, deputy director of the National Centre for Archaeology, said technology has been widely adopted in submarine cultural heritage protection. Archaeologists cover the surface of some fragile artifacts (历史文物) with carbon fiber to strengthen them, so that they can be extracted safely from the underwater environment. Relevant spectroscopy (光谱学) technologies can detect the compound composition of rust on artifacts, contributing to restoration. Qu Liang, director of the Conservation Standards Department of the Palace Museum, said, “In the past, we only saw the surface of some cultural relics. Through X-ray scanning, we could observe their internal structure in the 3D digital model and eventually better understand their manufacturing process.” Former UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova noted that China has become a leader in using technology to protect cultural heritage. 8. How does digital display help people understand cultural relics? A. By restoring broken artifacts. B. By immersing them in ancient lives. C. By interacting with guards of honor. D. By attracting them to heritage sites. 9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined expression? A. face more challenges B. rise to dominance C. play a bigger role D. develop more quickly 10. What do archaeologists do with fragile underwater artifacts? A. They use X-ray scanning. B. They use a special coating. C. They build 3D digital models. D. They detect their compound composition. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Digital Display Gains Wide Popularity B. China Leads in Global Heritage Protection C. China’s Cultural Relics Have Global Influence D. Technology Brings New Life to Cultural Relics 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了中国利用人工智能、虚拟现实、三维扫描等科技手段为文化遗产注入新生命，使文物“活”起来，从而丰富人们生活并增强国家文化影响力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句““Through virtual and digital display, cultural relics have become ‘alive’, enabling viewers to feel as if they were in ancient times,” said Sun Xiaobing, deputy director of Art Exhibitions China. (“通过虚拟和数字化的展示，文物变得‘活’了起来，让观众仿佛置身于古代，”中国文物交流中心副主任孙小兵说。)”可知，数字展示能让观众产生身临其境的感觉，仿佛回到了古代生活中。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“In recent years, China has used science and technology to breathe new life into its cultural relics and heritage, enriching people’s lives while also enhancing the nation’s cultural influence. (近年来，中国利用科学技术为其文物和文化遗产注入新的生命，既丰富了人们的生活，又提升了国家的文化影响力。)”以及第三段第一句“Cutting-edge technologies like AI, VR and AR provide multidimensional methods for the preservation, application and exhibition of relics, said Li Li, deputy director of the China Academy of Cultural Heritage. (中国文化遗产研究院副院长李黎表示，人工智能、虚拟现实和增强现实等前沿技术为文物的保护、利用和展示提供了多维度的手段。)”可知，科技在文物保护中发挥着重要作用。划线短语所在句位于这两句中间，且句中关键词“information, digitalization, and digital display”都与科技和信息手段有关，应是强调这些手段应发挥更大的作用。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Archaeologists cover the surface of some fragile artifacts (历史文物) with carbon fiber to strengthen them, so that they can be extracted safely from the underwater environment. (考古学家用碳纤维覆盖一些易碎文物的表面以加固它们，使其能够安全地从水下环境中提取出来。)”可知，考古学家处理易碎水下文物的具体方法是在其表面覆盖一层特殊的加固材料（碳纤维），使用了特殊涂层来保护这些文物。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段通过天坛数字展示引出科技让文物“活”起来的主题；第二段讲述科技丰富人们生活、增强文化影响力，且新文物保护法强调科技应发挥重要作用；第三至五段分别从考古技术、水下文物保护、故宫三维扫描等角度举例说明科技如何应用于文物保护；第六段总结中国在这一领域的领先地位。通读全文可知，文章的核心是讲述科技如何为文物和文化遗产注入新生命，使其得以保存、展示并更好地被人们理解。因此，最佳标题应体现“科技赋予文物新生命”这一主题。 D First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s not what you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere ...” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. You should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guarantee “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway, if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 12. What are first impressions like according to paragraph 2? A. Casual and interesting. B. Brief and temporary. C. Important and lasting. D. Negative and unstable. 13. How can you make a memorable first impression according to the author? A. By engaging in small talk. B. By avoiding risky behavior. C. By demonstrating insight or humor. D. By sharing your personal experiences. 14. What does the author recommend doing if you mess up your first impression? A. Apologizing immediately. B. Avoiding seeing the person again. C. Forgetting about the encounter. D. Making a better second impression. 15. Which would be the best title for the text? A. The Disadvantages of Bad First Impressions B. First Impressions Aren’t Everything C. How to Win People’s Trust in Daily Life D. Why First Impressions Last Forever 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了第一印象往往短暂易逝，教我们如何留下好印象，若初次印象不佳，也可以用更好的二次印象来弥补。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. (留下第一印象，就好比用脚抵住一扇门不让它关上。与陌生人的许多相遇都短暂仓促，且或许此生不会再见。)”可知，第一印象是短暂且临时的。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. (为了避免被遗忘，你需要做些令人难忘的事——但不要做傻事。通过提出一个有见地的问题或逗得别人发笑来留下印象。)”可知，作者建议靠展现见解或是幽默感来留下难忘的第一印象。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere ...” (但如果你的第一印象搞砸了呢？有一天，你看到他们正看着你，回想起自己曾经的尴尬时刻，而他们正朝你走来，心里想着：“我好像在哪儿见过你……”)和第五段“In that case, your second impression needs to be better. (既然如此，你需要打造一个更好的第二印象。)”可知，若是第一印象搞砸了，作者建议去营造更好的第二印象。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. (第一印象可能很刻薄。一个错误，就可能让你觉得在别人眼里永远是个傻瓜。但我相信现实比这更宽容。)”及下文内容可知，文章讲述了第一印象并非全部，还有补救机会。由此可知，First Impressions Aren’t Everything (第一印象并不是一切)适合作本文最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 World Food Day, observed on October 16, coincides with China’s National Food Security Week, promoting the theme that food conservation is a common duty.

Every morning, he would set up his brush, ink, and rice paper on the old wooden table by the window, practicing characters stroke by stroke with steady hands. His grandson, Zhiyuan, now sixteen, had watched this routine countless times since childhood but had never shown interest in learning. “Too slow, too old-fashioned,” he would tell his friends, scrolling through his phone while Grandpa wrote. One Saturday afternoon, Zhiyuan burst through the door, his face flushed with frustration. He threw his backpack on the floor and sank into the sofa. Grandpa Wang continued writing, his brush moving gracefully across the paper. After a long silence, he asked gently, “School not going well?” Zhiyuan sighed heavily. “We have this school culture festival next month. Each class needs to present something about traditional Chinese culture. My classmates recommended me to organize our class performance because I’m ‘the Chinese kid’. But I don’t know anything! I can’t even write proper characters. Everyone expects me to be some kind of expert just because my grandparents are from China.” Grandpa Wang put down his brush and looked at his grandson. For a moment, the room was silent except for the soft ticking of the old clock on the wall. Then Zhiyuan continued, his voice cracking, “I told them my grandpa is a calligraphy master. I don’t know why I said that. Maybe I wanted to sound impressive. Now they want me to do a calligraphy demonstration during the festival. Me! I can’t even hold a brush properly.” Tears welled up in Zhiyuan’s eyes. He had always taken pride in being modern, fitting in with his friends, distancing himself from these “old traditions.” Now, for the first time, he felt ashamed — not of his heritage, but of his ignorance of it. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Noticing Zhiyuan, his grandpa asked him to sit at the table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally came the culture festival day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文仅作参考 Noticing Zhiyuan, his grandpa asked him to sit at the table. “It’s never too late to learn”, said Grandpa while he placed the brush in his grandson’s trembling hand. “Hold it like this — firm but gentle,” he demonstrated. For hours, they sat together, the old man’s steady hand guiding the young one’s. Character after character, Zhiyuan felt something shift inside him. The strange strokes began to make sense. When he finally wrote “和” (harmony) on his own, Grandpa’s eyes sparkled with pride. Night after night, they practiced together. He stopped seeing calligraphy as old-fashioned and began feeling its quiet beauty, even kind of looking forward to the big day. Finally came the culture festival day. Surrounded by curious schoolmates, Zhiyuan’s heart raced. But as he touched the brush, calm washed over him. Stroke by stroke, he wrote — characters flowing like water. Gasps turned into murmurs of admiration, then into applause. Looking up, he spotted Grandpa standing at the back, nodding with pride in his eyes. With a smile, deep faith welled up in Zhiyuan’s heart. This wasn’t just writing. It was a legacy passed down through generations. He was proud to carry it forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以书法传承为线索展开，讲述了书法大师王爷爷六十多年来坚持练习书法，而他十六岁的孙子致远却觉得书法又慢又老套，从不感兴趣；一次学校文化节，致远因不懂中国传统文化、无法完成书法展示而沮丧羞愧，最终在王爷爷的耐心指导下学习书法，逐渐领悟到书法的魅力，在文化节上成功完成展示，传承家族书法遗产并收获自豪的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“注意到致远，爷爷让他坐在桌子旁”可知，第一段可描写爷爷耐心指导致远握笔、练习书法的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“文化节终于到来了”可知，第二段可描写致远在文化节上的紧张与从容，书法展示的流畅过程，同学的赞赏与爷爷的骄傲。 2.续写线索：爷爷指导致远——学习握笔练习——逐渐领悟书法美感——坚持练习备战文化节——文化节展示紧张又从容——完成展示获得赞赏——看到爷爷的骄傲——领悟传承意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：demonstrate/show ②练习：practice/exercise ③传递：pass down/hand down ④席卷：wash over/sweep over 情绪类 ①好奇的：curious/inquisitive ②信心：faith/confidence 【点睛】【高分句型1】For hours, they sat together, the old man’s steady hand guiding the young one’s. （运用独立主格结构作状语） 【高分句型2】When he finally wrote “和” (harmony) on his own, Grandpa’s eyes sparkled with pride.（运用when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宜宾市一中2024级高二下期期末模拟试卷二 英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段录音放两遍。 1.

They all have jobs that combine STEM skills and art. Such careers are called STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) careers. You probably know something about them. However, there are many more that you may be unfamiliar with. Check out three careers below. Scientific animator Do you like to draw? If so, you might like a career in scientific animation. A scientific animator creates drawings or video clips of scientific processes. Cameron Slayden is a scientific animator, who studied art and science in college. Now, he draws for Science magazine and develops short animations for TV shows. The average starting salary is over $70,000 a year. Metalsmith Working with metal, metalsmiths need artistic skills and a knowledge of science and math. Valerie Ostenak, a metalsmith, works with steel, gold, and other metals to make jewelry, furniture, and sculptures. Metalsmiths can also work in repairing historic artifacts (文物) for places like museums. You can learn the skills at art colleges or by working with a professional metalsmith. Metalsmiths earn about $40,000 a year when they start. Acoustic designer If music is your passion, you might consider a career as an acoustic designer. They make sure the sound quality in different spaces is good. Trevor Cox is an acoustic designer. To create the best sound, he considers a lot of different factors like room size and wall materials. Some colleges offer degrees in acoustics. Often, these degrees involve classes in physics. The annual starting salary is about $100,000. There are so many possibilities in STEAM, and the possibilities will continue to grow. 1. What is the requirement for being a metalsmith? A. History repair experience. B. Scientific animation skills. C. An acoustic design license. D. Art and science knowledge. 2. According to the text, which career has the highest starting salary? A. Scientific animation. B. Metalsmith. C. Acoustic Designer. D. Architects. 3. Who is this text most likely intended for? A. High-school students. B. College teacher. C. Workers in STEAM career. D. Professional artists. B Sonam Wangdrak’s story begins not in a driver’s cab, but on the vast grasslands of the Xizang plateau. As a herdsman’s son, his first encounter with a train was a colorful picture in a textbook at age seven — a spark that lit a lifelong dream. For a boy who only began learning Mandarin in fourth grade, the path seemed distant. Yet, this dream carried him to the Lanzhou Railway School, where he spent holidays alone in his dormitory, determined to conquer tough subjects like mechanical drawing and circuit principles. This commitment led him into the next life chapter when, in 2007, he joined the Qinghai-Xizang Railway Company, beginning a decade-long journey of honing his craft. The real challenge arrived with the Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway, Xizang’s first electrified line, snaking through mountains and over rivers. To master its demanding curves and slopes, Sonam designed a unique test: placing a whiteboard pen upright on the console. Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle (油门) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth.   He operated on a simple principle: there was always room for improvement. He would rush to learn from every engine failure, even on his days off and kept a notebook of technical notes. His most famous feat, however, was improving train coupling by balancing a water-filled cup and a stack of coins until he could link the carriages without disturbing them. A video of this “steady hand” miracle later won widespread admiration online. On June 25, 2021, Sonam entered the cab of the Fuxing bullet train as its first driver on the new high-altitude line. With over 750,000 kilometers of safe driving and zero accidents to his name, he has been honored as a “National Model Worker.” From a child fascinated by a picture to the “Dragon Tamer” of the world’s highest railways, Sonam Wangdrak’s journey is a proof to how a single dream, fueled by constant dedication, can mount the roof of the world. 4. What initially inspired Sonam Wangdrak’s dream? A. A photograph of a train in his school book. B. His early mastery of the Mandarin language. C. A visit to a train driver’s cab in his childhood. D. His experience of moving from grassland to town. 5. What does “honing his craft” mean in paragraph2? A. Repairing his tools. B. Polishing his skills. C. Breaking his limits. D. Recording his work. 6. What qualities can best describe Sonam Wangdrak? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Curious and adventurous. C. Self-disciplined and innovative. D. Persistent and perfection-seeking. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. A man who has a brilliant career. B. The growth of Xizang’s rail technology. C. The success of a national railway project. D. A model realizing his dream via devotion. C At the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the over 600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, an animation played guards of honor marching at the same pace across a projector screen, their movements in harmony with the graceful melodies of ancient rituals (仪式). “Through virtual and digital display, cultural relics have become ‘alive’, enabling viewers to feel as if they were in ancient times,” said Sun Xiaobing, deputy director of Art Exhibitions China. In recent years, China has used science and technology to breathe new life into its cultural relics and heritage, enriching people’s lives while also enhancing the nation’s cultural influence. The newly revised cultural relics protection law, issued in March, states firmly that technology, information, digitalization, and digital display should all come to the fore in cultural relic protection. Cutting-edge technologies like AI, VR and AR provide multidimensional methods for the preservation, application and exhibition of relics, said Li Li, deputy director of the China Academy of Cultural Heritage. In archaeology, the National Cultural Heritage Administration aims to advance technological level, emphasizing genetic analysis, precision dating and other fields. Zhang Zhiguo, deputy director of the National Centre for Archaeology, said technology has been widely adopted in submarine cultural heritage protection. Archaeologists cover the surface of some fragile artifacts (历史文物) with carbon fiber to strengthen them, so that they can be extracted safely from the underwater environment. Relevant spectroscopy (光谱学) technologies can detect the compound composition of rust on artifacts, contributing to restoration. Qu Liang, director of the Conservation Standards Department of the Palace Museum, said, “In the past, we only saw the surface of some cultural relics. Through X-ray scanning, we could observe their internal structure in the 3D digital model and eventually better understand their manufacturing process.” Former UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova noted that China has become a leader in using technology to protect cultural heritage. 8. How does digital display help people understand cultural relics? A. By restoring broken artifacts. B. By immersing them in ancient lives. C. By interacting with guards of honor. D. By attracting them to heritage sites. 9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined expression? A. face more challenges B. rise to dominance C. play a bigger role D. develop more quickly 10. What do archaeologists do with fragile underwater artifacts? A. They use X-ray scanning. B. They use a special coating. C. They build 3D digital models. D. They detect their compound composition. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Digital Display Gains Wide Popularity B. China Leads in Global Heritage Protection C. China’s Cultural Relics Have Global Influence D. Technology Brings New Life to Cultural Relics D First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s not what you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere ...” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting.

Every morning, he would set up his brush, ink, and rice paper on the old wooden table by the window, practicing characters stroke by stroke with steady hands. His grandson, Zhiyuan, now sixteen, had watched this routine countless times since childhood but had never shown interest in learning. “Too slow, too old-fashioned,” he would tell his friends, scrolling through his phone while Grandpa wrote. One Saturday afternoon, Zhiyuan burst through the door, his face flushed with frustration. He threw his backpack on the floor and sank into the sofa. Grandpa Wang continued writing, his brush moving gracefully across the paper. After a long silence, he asked gently, “School not going well?” Zhiyuan sighed heavily. “We have this school culture festival next month. Each class needs to present something about traditional Chinese culture. My classmates recommended me to organize our class performance because I’m ‘the Chinese kid’. But I don’t know anything! I can’t even write proper characters. Everyone expects me to be some kind of expert just because my grandparents are from China.” Grandpa Wang put down his brush and looked at his grandson. For a moment, the room was silent except for the soft ticking of the old clock on the wall. Then Zhiyuan continued, his voice cracking, “I told them my grandpa is a calligraphy master. I don’t know why I said that. Maybe I wanted to sound impressive. Now they want me to do a calligraphy demonstration during the festival. Me! I can’t even hold a brush properly.” Tears welled up in Zhiyuan’s eyes. He had always taken pride in being modern, fitting in with his friends, distancing himself from these “old traditions.” Now, for the first time, he felt ashamed — not of his heritage, but of his ignorance of it. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Noticing Zhiyuan, his grandpa asked him to sit at the table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally came the culture festival day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
