Daniel came to China as an exchange student and stayed with a family in Hebei. Before the trip, he thought beauty was mainly about famous museums and perfect photos. His host sister Lin Yue wanted to change his idea, so she took him to a morning market instead of a tourist site. The market was noisy. At first, Daniel could not understand why Lin Yue called it beautiful. Sellers shouted prices, bicycles passed slowly, and steam rose from breakfast stalls.
Then Lin Yue asked him to look more carefully. An old couple shared one umbrella while choosing vegetables. A young baker gave a warm bun to a street cleaner and said, “You started earlier than all of us.” A child tried to draw the steam with his finger on a shop window. Daniel noticed that these details were not arranged like a show, yet they carried real warmth. He also found that every sound had its place: the bell of a bicycle, the call of a seller, and the quiet thanks from the cleaner.
Daniel took no perfect photo that morning, but he wrote many notes. He realized that beauty could be found in human care, ordinary work and lively local life. When he returned to school, he gave a short speech titled “The Beauty I Nearly Missed”. He said the market taught him to slow down before judging a place, because a hurried eye may miss the most touching part of a city.

C.He decided to become a baker. D.He stopped taking notes in China.
52.What does the title “The Beauty I Nearly Missed” suggest?
A.Beauty may be ignored if people judge too quickly. B.Markets are too noisy for exchange students.
C.Perfect photos are the only proof of beauty. D.Tourist sites should be replaced by speeches.
【答案】49.A 50.C 51.B 52.A
【导语】本文是一篇生活化记叙文。交换生Daniel原本认为美主要存在于博物馆和完美照片中,后来在河北一个早市中观察到人与人之间的关照和普通劳动的温度,从而改变了对美的理解。

51.推理判断题。Daniel写下笔记并演讲,说明理解更深,故选B。

C
At the foot of Taihang Mountains, a young mechanic named Zhao Ming repaired bicycles for villagers. His shop was small and not very clean, so many visitors passed it without a second look. Yet people in the village often said that Zhao Ming had “beautiful hands”. The saying began with a rainy afternoon. A girl was riding to school for an art competition when her bicycle chain broke. She cried because the painting in her basket had to reach school before three o’clock.
Zhao Ming was closing the shop, but he reopened the door, cleaned the chain and adjusted the wheel. His fingers soon became black with oil. When the girl offered money, he shook his head and said, “Use it to buy a better frame for your painting.” The girl won second prize that day. More importantly, she wrote a note beside her painting of a bicycle shop: “Some beauty is not in clean colors but in helpful work.” The note spread through the village.
Later, students visited Zhao Ming and asked why he kept helping others without asking much. He answered that a working skill should do good to people, otherwise it would lose its warmth. He also showed them how a loose screw, if ignored, could put a rider in danger, so careful work was a kind of quiet protection. Years later, Zhao Ming’s shop became a small training place for teenagers. He taught them how to repair bicycles and how to respect every honest job. Some students later chose technical majors, and they said the small shop helped them feel proud of practical skills. The shop was still ordinary, but many people stopped there because they had learned to see the beauty of labor and kindness.
53.Why did many visitors pass Zhao Ming’s shop without a second look at first?
A.The shop looked ordinary and a little dirty. B.The shop was too far from the mountains.
C.Zhao Ming refused to repair bicycles. D.Villagers disliked his working skill.
54.What was Zhao Ming doing when the girl came for help?
A.Preparing for an art competition. B.Buying a new frame for her painting.
C.Closing his bicycle repair shop. D.Teaching teenagers to paint mountains.
55.What does the underlined phrase “beautiful hands” mainly mean in the story?
A.Hands that are clean and soft. B.Hands that create value through helpful labor.
C.Hands that can draw colorful pictures. D.Hands that never touch bicycle oil.
56.What is the main lesson of the passage?
A.Only art competitions can show beauty. B.A small shop should always be clean.
C.Kind labor can be a meaningful form of beauty. D.Teenagers should avoid learning repair skills.
【答案】53.A 54.C 55.B 56.C
【导语】本文是一篇人文叙事。修车师傅赵明的小店并不起眼,但他用自己的技能帮助赶去参赛的女孩,并把劳动技能传递给青少年。故事表现了劳动、善意与诚实职业中蕴含的美。

55.词义猜测题。结合赵明修车助人可知,beautiful hands指通过劳动帮助人的手,故选B。
56.主旨大意题。全文说明善意劳动也是美,故选C。
D
People often say that beauty is subjective, but this does not mean it is completely random. Researchers who study attention and emotion find that people are more likely to experience beauty when three conditions meet: enough attention, meaningful connection and a little surprise. Attention comes first. A person walking quickly through a gallery may remember only the exit sign, while another person standing quietly before one painting may notice hidden lines and balanced colors. The object is the same, but the experience is different because the second viewer gives the mind time to work.
Meaningful connection is also important. A song may sound ordinary to one listener but powerful to another who connects it with childhood, friendship or hope. This explains why silence after a busy day can feel beautiful: it is connected with rest. Surprise adds the final push. When people find beauty in an unexpected place, such as sunlight on a factory wall or kindness from a stranger, the feeling becomes stronger because it breaks a fixed idea.
However, the passage does not suggest that people should force themselves to call everything beautiful. Instead, it reminds us to be attentive and open. Beauty grows when people are willing to observe, compare and feel. This attitude is useful in school projects, community service and future workplaces, because people who notice details often communicate more patiently and solve problems more creatively. In this sense, learning to appreciate beauty is also learning to live more carefully. It helps people respect different choices, notice quiet efforts and create small moments of warmth in their own communities. The more carefully people experience daily life, the more likely they are to find beauty that is honest, shared and lasting. Such beauty may not appear on a stage, but it can guide choices, soften relationships and encourage people to make their surroundings better.
57.What are the three conditions mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.Money, time and silence. B.Attention, connection and surprise.
C.Color, shape and price. D.Music, painting and sunshine.
58.What can we infer from the gallery example in Paragraph 1?
A.The exit sign is usually the most beautiful object. B.All viewers should like the same painting.
C.Attention can change the depth of an experience. D.Walking quickly helps people remember more details.
59.What does the underlined word “random” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Without any pattern B.Full of strong color
C.Easy to control D.Related to price
60.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To list famous examples of modern art. B.To warn people not to visit galleries.
C.To prove every object must be called beautiful. D.To show a balanced way to appreciate beauty.
【答案】57.B 58.C 59.A 60.D
【导语】本文是一篇观点说明文。文章从注意力、意义连接和惊喜三个条件解释人们为何会体验到美,并提醒读者欣赏美不是强迫自己赞美一切,而是更细致、开放地观察和感受生活。
【详解】57.细节理解题。第一段明确列出attention, connection and surprise,故选B。
58.推理判断题。画廊例子说明注意力会改变体验深度,故选C。
59.词义猜测题。后文指出美的体验有条件,说明random意为“无规律的”,故选A。
60.段落作用题。最后一段提出attentive and open的平衡欣赏方式,故选D。

Beauty Around Us
Good morning, everyone. In my opinion, beauty is not only in famous paintings or wonderful music. It can also be found in ordinary life when we look carefully and feel with our heart. Last week, I saw a classmate pick up a broken picture frame after an exhibition. He repaired it quietly and put the photo back on the wall. The small action made the corner tidy again and warmed many students. This taught me that kindness and responsibility are beautiful, too. To find beauty, we should slow down, be attentive and respect different feelings. More importantly, we can create beauty by helping others and doing small things well.
【词汇积累】ordinary life普通生活;look carefully仔细观察;with our heart用心;responsibility责任;be attentive保持专注。
【句式拓展】In my opinion, beauty is not only...;This taught me that...;More importantly, we can...。
【点睛】范文采用演讲稿语气,先提出观点,再用生活例子支撑,最后给出行动建议,结构清晰,适合中职学生模仿。

Daniel came to China as an exchange student and stayed with a family in Hebei. Before the trip, he thought beauty was mainly about famous museums and perfect photos. His host sister Lin Yue wanted to change his idea, so she took him to a morning market instead of a tourist site. The market was noisy. At first, Daniel could not understand why Lin Yue called it beautiful. Sellers shouted prices, bicycles passed slowly, and steam rose from breakfast stalls.
Then Lin Yue asked him to look more carefully. An old couple shared one umbrella while choosing vegetables. A young baker gave a warm bun to a street cleaner and said, “You started earlier than all of us.” A child tried to draw the steam with his finger on a shop window. Daniel noticed that these details were not arranged like a show, yet they carried real warmth. He also found that every sound had its place: the bell of a bicycle, the call of a seller, and the quiet thanks from the cleaner.
Daniel took no perfect photo that morning, but he wrote many notes. He realized that beauty could be found in human care, ordinary work and lively local life. When he returned to school, he gave a short speech titled “The Beauty I Nearly Missed”. He said the market taught him to slow down before judging a place, because a hurried eye may miss the most touching part of a city.

A.To help him see beauty in ordinary life. B.To ask him to sell vegetables.

52.What does the title “The Beauty I Nearly Missed” suggest?

At the foot of Taihang Mountains, a young mechanic named Zhao Ming repaired bicycles for villagers. His shop was small and not very clean, so many visitors passed it without a second look. Yet people in the village often said that Zhao Ming had “beautiful hands”. The saying began with a rainy afternoon. A girl was riding to school for an art competition when her bicycle chain broke. She cried because the painting in her basket had to reach school before three o’clock.
Zhao Ming was closing the shop, but he reopened the door, cleaned the chain and adjusted the wheel. His fingers soon became black with oil. When the girl offered money, he shook his head and said, “Use it to buy a better frame for your painting.” The girl won second prize that day. More importantly, she wrote a note beside her painting of a bicycle shop: “Some beauty is not in clean colors but in helpful work.” The note spread through the village.
Later, students visited Zhao Ming and asked why he kept helping others without asking much. He answered that a working skill should do good to people, otherwise it would lose its warmth. He also showed them how a loose screw, if ignored, could put a rider in danger, so careful work was a kind of quiet protection. Years later, Zhao Ming’s shop became a small training place for teenagers. He taught them how to repair bicycles and how to respect every honest job. Some students later chose technical majors, and they said the small shop helped them feel proud of practical skills. The shop was still ordinary, but many people stopped there because they had learned to see the beauty of labor and kindness.
53.Why did many visitors pass Zhao Ming’s shop without a second look at first?
A.The shop looked ordinary and a little dirty. B.The shop was too far from the mountains.
C.Zhao Ming refused to repair bicycles. D.Villagers disliked his working skill.
54.What was Zhao Ming doing when the girl came for help?
A.Preparing for an art competition. B.Buying a new frame for her painting.
C.Closing his bicycle repair shop. D.Teaching teenagers to paint mountains.
55.What does the underlined phrase “beautiful hands” mainly mean in the story?
A.Hands that are clean and soft. B.Hands that create value through helpful labor.
C.Hands that can draw colorful pictures. D.Hands that never touch bicycle oil.
56.What is the main lesson of the passage?
A.Only art competitions can show beauty. B.A small shop should always be clean.
C.Kind labor can be a meaningful form of beauty. D.Teenagers should avoid learning repair skills.
D
People often say that beauty is subjective, but this does not mean it is completely random. Researchers who study attention and emotion find that people are more likely to experience beauty when three conditions meet: enough attention, meaningful connection and a little surprise. Attention comes first. A person walking quickly through a gallery may remember only the exit sign, while another person standing quietly before one painting may notice hidden lines and balanced colors. The object is the same, but the experience is different because the second viewer gives the mind time to work.
Meaningful connection is also important. A song may sound ordinary to one listener but powerful to another who connects it with childhood, friendship or hope. This explains why silence after a busy day can feel beautiful: it is connected with rest. Surprise adds the final push. When people find beauty in an unexpected place, such as sunlight on a factory wall or kindness from a stranger, the feeling becomes stronger because it breaks a fixed idea.
However, the passage does not suggest that people should force themselves to call everything beautiful. Instead, it reminds us to be attentive and open. Beauty grows when people are willing to observe, compare and feel. This attitude is useful in school projects, community service and future workplaces, because people who notice details often communicate more patiently and solve problems more creatively. In this sense, learning to appreciate beauty is also learning to live more carefully. It helps people respect different choices, notice quiet efforts and create small moments of warmth in their own communities. The more carefully people experience daily life, the more likely they are to find beauty that is honest, shared and lasting. Such beauty may not appear on a stage, but it can guide choices, soften relationships and encourage people to make their surroundings better.
57.What are the three conditions mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.Money, time and silence. B.Attention, connection and surprise.
C.Color, shape and price. D.Music, painting and sunshine.
58.What can we infer from the gallery example in Paragraph 1?
A.The exit sign is usually the most beautiful object. B.All viewers should like the same painting.
C.Attention can change the depth of an experience. D.Walking quickly helps people remember more details.
59.What does the underlined word “random” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Without any pattern B.Full of strong color
C.Easy to control D.Related to price
60.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To list famous examples of modern art. B.To warn people not to visit galleries.
C.To prove every object must be called beautiful. D.To show a balanced way to appreciate beauty.
