It’s my great honor to present my views on the power of art, with ‌“The Scream” by Edvard Munch as an example. Created in 1893, this painting is a symbol of modern art. The distorted figure in the center, with a wide-open mouth and a look of extreme anxiety and horror, is very striking, reflecting the inner turmoil of modern people. The power of ‌“The Scream” lies in making us think about life. It reminds us not to lose our sense of self and hope in the chaos of the modern world. In conclusion, art can touch our souls and inspire our creativity. I believe art helps us understand ourselves and the world better.

Since the age of three, Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing that I loved was dance,” she told CBS News. That ambition nearly 16 in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, a small city in California, was in an accident that left her paralyzed from the 17 down. For most people, that would have 18 any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was just the beginning. 19 being an obstacle, her wheelchair empowered her. “I wanted to 20 to my community — and to myself — that I was still ‘normal’.” Hill danced in her wheelchair alongside her non-disabled school dance team. “Half of my body was 21 from me,” Hill told the press, “and it definitely took a lot of learning and 22 .” After graduation, Hill determined to 23 her dance network to include women who had 24 various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries but shared her 25 . “It was such an amazing experience.” Hoping to reach more people in a 26 city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed the Rollettes. “I want to 27 the stereotype (模式化的思想) of wheelchair users”. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based 28 . In dance competitions, they rocked their bodies to the 29 , and struck poses in dynamic routines. They’re having fun, and as the audiences’ reactions 30 , the fun is infectious. Hill has 31 what many of us never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else equally 32 . Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users to help them find their 33 strength they’ve never seen before. In 2019, 173 participants who used to lead restricted lives attended her camp. For many, it was the first time they’d had a sense of social 34 . Hill’s experience proves that limitations are not defined by 35 conditions but by the mindset we choose to adopt. 16．A．initiated B．ended C．withdrew D．quit 17．A．head B．knee C．waist D．ankle 18．A．strengthened B．destroyed C．sharpened D．dominated 19．A．In terms of B．Apart from C．By virtue of D．Far from 20．A．ensure B．justify C．prove D．classify 21．A．taken away B．given away C．put away D．worn away 22．A．patience B．celebrity C．absence D．anxiety 23．A．absorb B．attract C．expose D．expand 24．A．subscribed B．suffered C．submitted D．settled 25．A．definition B．determination C．dimension D．negotiation 26．A．riper B．remoter C．larger D．fresher 27．A．break through B．break up C．break in D．break down 28．A．operation B．variety C．charity D．exchange 29．A．beats B．instructions C．chaos D．directions 30．A．indicate B．decide C．illustrate D．conclude 31．A．determined B．compensated C．attained D．adored 32．A．conventional B．regretful C．controversial D．rewarding 33．A．main B．external C．inner D．domestic 34．A．majority B．stability C．quantity D．identity 35．A．mental B．intellectual C．physical D．universal 第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The City of Burlington public art program is presenting a series of temporary public art signs at the Beachway in conjunction with the Ontario Culture Days.

The design team employed 3D modeling to copy the original clothes and accessories (配饰) of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member. Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In a music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’ n’ roll, fueling the interest of young people. “Though creating such a figure is not easy, we made the expression of this character accurate and vivid, by using high standard technological methods” Zhang said. “We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming. The technology that is applied into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques. Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic bureaucrats (迂腐的官僚主义) in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century. “I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a3D form is truly intriguing. The 3D film make the centuries-old art take on a new look — we can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” said Xiao. Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies, for example, the first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. 41．The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ______. A．a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera. B．the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera. C．the origin of Qinqiang Opera. D．the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies. 42．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Qin Xiaoya is a figure from Western Zhou Dynasty. B．Qinqiang Opera originates in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. C．Qin Xiaoya’s performance in June combined Qin Opera with rock music. D．Qin Xiaoya shows the image of a middle-aged person. 43．What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean? A．various B．appealing C．elegant D．tasteless 44．What can be inferred from Xiao Jie? A．He finds the rhythm of the film hard to follow. B．He thinks the theme of the passage should be critical. C．He is totally intrigued by the 3D film. D．He suggests audience to appear in 3D cinema frequently. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Technology elements in Qinqiang opera are welcomed by senior fans. B．Qinqiang opera is adapted from Peking Opera. C．Qinqiang opera is a bond between the old and the young. D．Technology makes Qinqiang opera show a new look. C Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology. Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in “growing” a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. There is a good chance that our next step will be “biotech hearts and eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the immune system, as is often the case with organs from donors. The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more auspicious. In 1996 the famous science fiction writer, Arthur C． Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we might soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy and some of these power sources would be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner. It is tempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way. 46．According to Paragraph 2, what is the author’s view on natural materials compared to synthetic ones? A．Natural materials are superior in multiple properties. B．Synthetic materials have surpassed natural ones in quality. C．Organic chemistry cannot replicate natural materials’ features. D．Future technology will eliminate the need for natural materials. 47．The examples of “biotech hearts and eyes” in Paragraph 3 are used to demonstrate ________. A．the complete replacement of human organs is imminent B．the practical potential of biotechnology in medicine C．the resolution of immune system rejection issues D．the cost-effectiveness of biological materials 48．Author C． Clarke is most likely to agree that in future societies ________. A．biological power will play a dominant role in the market B．all the predictions that he has made will come true C．the use of fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal will be stopped D．dependence on non-renewable energy must be reduced 49．Which of the following statements best describes an advantage of biotechnology mentioned in the passage? A．It relies entirely on synthetic materials for energy production. B．It provides both economical and eco-friendly solutions. C．It ensures immediate replacement of all diseased human organs. D．It has surpassed nuclear power in safety and efficiency. 50．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Biological power will probably live, up to all its promises. B．Biotechnology is the only way to address our future energy problems. C．Nuclear power is a limitless, cheap and safe kind of energy. D．Biological power is less likely to be as threatening as nuclear power D Whether it’s music, literature or cinema, we all seek emotional comfort in some form of art from time to time. However, the power of art acts not only on our minds, but also on our bodies. For the first time, a UK study has found that art positively affects the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, reported The Guardian. The experiment involved 50 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. Half looked at original artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. The health sensors they wore recorded a 22 percent reduction of stress hormones in the gallery-goers and 8 percent for the other group, reported Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art. Inflammatory markers (炎症标志物), which are signs of health issues like heart disease and anxiety, also dropped by about 30 percent for the gallery group. Meanwhile, signs of excitement, like a higher heart rate, were observed, indicating that art can both calm and energize our bodies. Moreover, these benefits seemed consistent regardless of the volunteers’ art knowledge. It’s not just visual arts that have such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance, with its non-verbal nature, reduces stress by releasing tension and improving self-perception and movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different theories. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York, looks to our brain’s default (默认的) mode network, which is widely believed to play a key role in creativity. This network usually quiets down when we engage with the outside world. However, when we enjoy art, it becomes active along with other focus-related parts of the brain. This could be why art experiences can feel very intense. Even though we are still learning how this works, the power of art has been applied in therapy since the mid-20th century. It was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War I soldiers express themselves, as the traumas often affected their brain’s speech centers, limiting traditional talk therapy, according to American Scientist. Since then, art therapy has benefited over 650 million people worldwide. Studies like the recent one in the UK can help make art therapy more available. “We need more research that shows the outcomes in a very quantitative (定量的) way, in a scientific way, in a broad, systematic way,” said Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University. She explained that policymakers and insurance companies rely on this data to make decisions about coverage, according to a New York University press release in September. 51．How was the study conducted? A．Through historical data analysis. B．Through random observations. C．Through general population surveys. D．Through condition-based comparisons. 52．What was one result of the experiment? A．Viewing copies raised inflammation levels. B．Gallery visits caused more calm than excitement. C．Gallery visitors showed a larger stress drop. D．Art learners benefited more from art than others. 53．What does Vessel’s theory suggest about art? A．It activates multiple brain parts. B．It reduces attention to the outside. C．It weakens the brain’s default activity. D．It boosts creative abilities and memory. 54．What can be inferred about art therapy? A．It is not yet widely recognized. B．It mainly treats speech disorders. C．Its expansion relies on more data. D．Its effectiveness remains unproven. 55．What could be the best title for the passage? A．Art’s power to heal B．The impact of artworks on people’s health C．Why is art so useful? D．Art can calm our bodies 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves(袖子), he spreads his arms like wings. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting crowds. He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos. Classical Chinese dance combines martial arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started to learn it at 12. “I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance,” said Ma. Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London. Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular tourist spot. She recorded Ma. He then edited the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it, which inspired me to share it online,” said Ma. Later, Ma made more short videos. He combines his dance moves with dazzling action. People are often curious about his performances. So, while dancing, he likes to interact with them. As his videos went viral, he received messages from people around the world. “Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma. 56．What is Ma Jiaolong’s style of dance?

The design team employed 3D modeling to copy the original clothes and accessories (配饰) of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member. Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In a music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’ n’ roll, fueling the interest of young people. “Though creating such a figure is not easy, we made the expression of this character accurate and vivid, by using high standard technological methods” Zhang said. “We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming. The technology that is applied into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques. Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic bureaucrats (迂腐的官僚主义) in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century. “I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a3D form is truly intriguing. The 3D film make the centuries-old art take on a new look — we can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” said Xiao. Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies, for example, the first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. 41．The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ______. A．a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera. B．the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera. C．the origin of Qinqiang Opera. D．the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies. 42．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Qin Xiaoya is a figure from Western Zhou Dynasty. B．Qinqiang Opera originates in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. C．Qin Xiaoya’s performance in June combined Qin Opera with rock music. D．Qin Xiaoya shows the image of a middle-aged person. 43．What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean? A．various B．appealing C．elegant D．tasteless 44．What can be inferred from Xiao Jie? A．He finds the rhythm of the film hard to follow. B．He thinks the theme of the passage should be critical. C．He is totally intrigued by the 3D film. D．He suggests audience to appear in 3D cinema frequently. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Technology elements in Qinqiang opera are welcomed by senior fans. B．Qinqiang opera is adapted from Peking Opera. C．Qinqiang opera is a bond between the old and the young. D．Technology makes Qinqiang opera show a new look. C Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology. Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in “growing” a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. There is a good chance that our next step will be “biotech hearts and eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the immune system, as is often the case with organs from donors. The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more auspicious. In 1996 the famous science fiction writer, Arthur C． Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we might soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy and some of these power sources would be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner. It is tempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way. 46．According to Paragraph 2, what is the author’s view on natural materials compared to synthetic ones? A．Natural materials are superior in multiple properties. B．Synthetic materials have surpassed natural ones in quality. C．Organic chemistry cannot replicate natural materials’ features. D．Future technology will eliminate the need for natural materials. 47．The examples of “biotech hearts and eyes” in Paragraph 3 are used to demonstrate ________. A．the complete replacement of human organs is imminent B．the practical potential of biotechnology in medicine C．the resolution of immune system rejection issues D．the cost-effectiveness of biological materials 48．Author C． Clarke is most likely to agree that in future societies ________. A．biological power will play a dominant role in the market B．all the predictions that he has made will come true C．the use of fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal will be stopped D．dependence on non-renewable energy must be reduced 49．Which of the following statements best describes an advantage of biotechnology mentioned in the passage? A．It relies entirely on synthetic materials for energy production. B．It provides both economical and eco-friendly solutions. C．It ensures immediate replacement of all diseased human organs. D．It has surpassed nuclear power in safety and efficiency. 50．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Biological power will probably live, up to all its promises. B．Biotechnology is the only way to address our future energy problems. C．Nuclear power is a limitless, cheap and safe kind of energy. D．Biological power is less likely to be as threatening as nuclear power D Whether it’s music, literature or cinema, we all seek emotional comfort in some form of art from time to time. However, the power of art acts not only on our minds, but also on our bodies. For the first time, a UK study has found that art positively affects the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, reported The Guardian. The experiment involved 50 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. Half looked at original artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. The health sensors they wore recorded a 22 percent reduction of stress hormones in the gallery-goers and 8 percent for the other group, reported Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art. Inflammatory markers (炎症标志物), which are signs of health issues like heart disease and anxiety, also dropped by about 30 percent for the gallery group. Meanwhile, signs of excitement, like a higher heart rate, were observed, indicating that art can both calm and energize our bodies. Moreover, these benefits seemed consistent regardless of the volunteers’ art knowledge. It’s not just visual arts that have such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance, with its non-verbal nature, reduces stress by releasing tension and improving self-perception and movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different theories. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York, looks to our brain’s default (默认的) mode network, which is widely believed to play a key role in creativity. This network usually quiets down when we engage with the outside world. However, when we enjoy art, it becomes active along with other focus-related parts of the brain. This could be why art experiences can feel very intense. Even though we are still learning how this works, the power of art has been applied in therapy since the mid-20th century. It was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War I soldiers express themselves, as the traumas often affected their brain’s speech centers, limiting traditional talk therapy, according to American Scientist. Since then, art therapy has benefited over 650 million people worldwide. Studies like the recent one in the UK can help make art therapy more available. “We need more research that shows the outcomes in a very quantitative (定量的) way, in a scientific way, in a broad, systematic way,” said Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University. She explained that policymakers and insurance companies rely on this data to make decisions about coverage, according to a New York University press release in September. 51．How was the study conducted? A．Through historical data analysis. B．Through random observations. C．Through general population surveys. D．Through condition-based comparisons. 52．What was one result of the experiment? A．Viewing copies raised inflammation levels. B．Gallery visits caused more calm than excitement. C．Gallery visitors showed a larger stress drop. D．Art learners benefited more from art than others. 53．What does Vessel’s theory suggest about art? A．It activates multiple brain parts. B．It reduces attention to the outside. C．It weakens the brain’s default activity. D．It boosts creative abilities and memory. 54．What can be inferred about art therapy? A．It is not yet widely recognized. B．It mainly treats speech disorders. C．Its expansion relies on more data. D．Its effectiveness remains unproven. 55．What could be the best title for the passage? A．Art’s power to heal B．The impact of artworks on people’s health C．Why is art so useful? D．Art can calm our bodies 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose.

Since the age of three, Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing that I loved was dance,” she told CBS News. That ambition nearly 16 in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, a small city in California, was in an accident that left her paralyzed from the 17 down. For most people, that would have 18 any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was just the beginning. 19 being an obstacle, her wheelchair empowered her. “I wanted to 20 to my community — and to myself — that I was still ‘normal’.” Hill danced in her wheelchair alongside her non-disabled school dance team. “Half of my body was 21 from me,” Hill told the press, “and it definitely took a lot of learning and 22 .” After graduation, Hill determined to 23 her dance network to include women who had 24 various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries but shared her 25 . “It was such an amazing experience.” Hoping to reach more people in a 26 city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed the Rollettes. “I want to 27 the stereotype (模式化的思想) of wheelchair users”. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based 28 . In dance competitions, they rocked their bodies to the 29 , and struck poses in dynamic routines. They’re having fun, and as the audiences’ reactions 30 , the fun is infectious. Hill has 31 what many of us never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else equally 32 . Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users to help them find their 33 strength they’ve never seen before. In 2019, 173 participants who used to lead restricted lives attended her camp.

The design team employed 3D modeling to copy the original clothes and accessories (配饰) of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member. Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In a music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’ n’ roll, fueling the interest of young people. “Though creating such a figure is not easy, we made the expression of this character accurate and vivid, by using high standard technological methods” Zhang said. “We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming. The technology that is applied into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques. Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic bureaucrats (迂腐的官僚主义) in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century. “I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a3D form is truly intriguing. The 3D film make the centuries-old art take on a new look — we can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” said Xiao. Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies, for example, the first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. 41．The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ______. A．a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera. B．the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera. C．the origin of Qinqiang Opera. D．the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies. 42．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Qin Xiaoya is a figure from Western Zhou Dynasty. B．Qinqiang Opera originates in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. C．Qin Xiaoya’s performance in June combined Qin Opera with rock music. D．Qin Xiaoya shows the image of a middle-aged person. 43．What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean? A．various B．appealing C．elegant D．tasteless 44．What can be inferred from Xiao Jie? A．He finds the rhythm of the film hard to follow. B．He thinks the theme of the passage should be critical. C．He is totally intrigued by the 3D film. D．He suggests audience to appear in 3D cinema frequently. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Technology elements in Qinqiang opera are welcomed by senior fans. B．Qinqiang opera is adapted from Peking Opera. C．Qinqiang opera is a bond between the old and the young. D．Technology makes Qinqiang opera show a new look. 【答案】41．B 42．C 43．A 44．C 45．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。虚拟人物秦小娅首登艺术节，团队用 3D 等技术塑造她。秦腔结合摇滚等吸引年轻人，3D 电影也让其焕新，科技让秦腔展新貌。 【详解】41．推理判断题。根据第二段“The design team employed 3D modeling to copy the original clothes and accessories (配饰) of the virtual actress. ‘To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,’ said Zhang Xi, a team member.(设计团队采用 3D 建模技术来复制这位虚拟女演员的原版服装和配饰。团队成员张曦说：‘为了让她栩栩如生，我们付出了巨大努力，用戏曲演员的真实声音重现她的手势和装饰。’)” 可知，文章开头提到虚拟人物秦小娅是为了引出科技在秦腔艺术中的应用。故选B项。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段“In a music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’ n’ roll, fueling the interest of young people.(在 6 月举行的第九届中国秦腔艺术节的音乐视频中，她表演了与摇滚乐混音的秦腔，激发了年轻人的兴趣。)”可知，秦小娅在6月的表演中将秦腔与摇滚音乐相结合。故选C项。 43．词句猜测题。根据第六段“We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,(我们希望让她成为秦腔艺术的代言人，并在未来制作相关的卡通、电影和其他 产品)”可知，此处表示要制作多种相关产品，所以diversified意思是“多样的”，与various意思相近。故选A项。 44．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“‘I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a 3D form is truly intriguing. The 3D film make the centuries-old art take on a new look — we can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,’ said Xiao.（肖杰说：‘我年轻时看过这部戏曲的黑白电影。现在，以 3D 形式观看它真的很有趣。3D 电影让这一有着几百年历史的艺术焕然一新 —— 我们可以更近距离、更清晰地观看表演。’）”可知，肖杰被3D电影完全吸引了。故选C项。 45．主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“Qin Xiaoya, a virtual figure playing a young female role in Qinqiang Opera, has caught people’s attention since it made its debut (首次登台) in an art festival in Xi’ an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.(秦腔中扮演年轻女性角色的虚拟人物秦小雅，自从在中国西北部陕西省省会西安的一个艺术节上首次亮相以来，就引起了人们的注意。)”可知，文章通过介绍虚拟人物秦小娅以及3D秦腔电影《三滴血》，展示了科技在秦腔中的应用，使秦腔呈现出新面貌。故选D项。 C Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology. Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in “growing” a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. There is a good chance that our next step will be “biotech hearts and eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the immune system, as is often the case with organs from donors. The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more auspicious. In 1996 the famous science fiction writer, Arthur C． Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we might soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy and some of these power sources would be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner. It is tempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way. 46．According to Paragraph 2, what is the author’s view on natural materials compared to synthetic ones? A．Natural materials are superior in multiple properties. B．Synthetic materials have surpassed natural ones in quality. C．Organic chemistry cannot replicate natural materials’ features. D．Future technology will eliminate the need for natural materials. 47．The examples of “biotech hearts and eyes” in Paragraph 3 are used to demonstrate ________. A．the complete replacement of human organs is imminent B．the practical potential of biotechnology in medicine C．the resolution of immune system rejection issues D．the cost-effectiveness of biological materials 48．Author C． Clarke is most likely to agree that in future societies ________. A．biological power will play a dominant role in the market B．all the predictions that he has made will come true C．the use of fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal will be stopped D．dependence on non-renewable energy must be reduced 49．Which of the following statements best describes an advantage of biotechnology mentioned in the passage? A．It relies entirely on synthetic materials for energy production. B．It provides both economical and eco-friendly solutions. C．It ensures immediate replacement of all diseased human organs. D．It has surpassed nuclear power in safety and efficiency. 50．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Biological power will probably live, up to all its promises. B．Biotechnology is the only way to address our future energy problems. C．Nuclear power is a limitless, cheap and safe kind of energy. D．Biological power is less likely to be as threatening as nuclear power 【答案】46．A 47．B 48．D 49．B 50．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了生物技术作为未来科技突破的潜力及其在医学和能源领域的应用前景。 【详解】46．推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. (然而，要制造出既能保暖又能吸湿的羊毛制品仍然很困难。到目前为止，我们所能生产的任何东西都无法与普通昆虫身体所具有的强度、轻盈和灵活性的组合相媲美。)”可知，作者认为天然材料在多种特性上优于合成材料。故选A。 47．推理判断题。根据第三段中“There is a good chance that our next step will be “biotech hearts and eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the immune system, as is often the case with organs from donors. (很有可能我们的下一步将是“生物技术心脏和眼睛”，它们可以取代人类患病的器官。这些器官不会被免疫系统排斥，而来自捐赠者的器官则经常会出现这种情况。)”可知，第三段中“生物技术心脏和眼睛”的例子被用来展示生物技术在医学上的实际潜力。故选B。 48．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. (Clarke和其他人已经反复警告我们，我们迟早必须放弃对不可再生能源的依赖。)”可知，Clarke很可能同意在未来社会中，对不可再生能源的依赖必须减少。故选D。 49．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more auspicious. In 1996 the famous science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we might soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy and some of these power sources would be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner. (生物技术在能源生产中的应用前景似乎更为广阔。1996年，著名科幻作家Arthur C. Clarke（其先前许多预言已成为现实）曾表示，人类或许很快就能开发出极为廉价的可再生能源，其中部分能源将来源于生物。克拉克及其他学者多次警示，人类迟早需要摆脱对不可再生能源的依赖。煤炭、石油和天然气固然便利，但使用这些能源也意味着制造危害极大的高污染。除非开发出更廉价、更清洁的能源，否则人类将难以在满足日益增长的能源需求的同时，避免污染程度升级至灾难性水平。)”可知，生物技术提供了经济且环保的解决方案，这是文中提到的生物技术的一个优势。故选B。 50．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way. (仅仅几代人之前，它似乎还承诺提供无限、廉价且安全的能源。然而今天，这些承诺被埋葬在乌克兰Chernobyl一个混凝土坟墓里。然而，生物技术不太可能以同样或如此危险的方式违背其承诺。)”可知，生物能源不太可能像核能那样具有威胁性。故选D。 D Whether it’s music, literature or cinema, we all seek emotional comfort in some form of art from time to time. However, the power of art acts not only on our minds, but also on our bodies. For the first time, a UK study has found that art positively affects the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, reported The Guardian. The experiment involved 50 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. Half looked at original artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. The health sensors they wore recorded a 22 percent reduction of stress hormones in the gallery-goers and 8 percent for the other group, reported Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art. Inflammatory markers (炎症标志物), which are signs of health issues like heart disease and anxiety, also dropped by about 30 percent for the gallery group. Meanwhile, signs of excitement, like a higher heart rate, were observed, indicating that art can both calm and energize our bodies. Moreover, these benefits seemed consistent regardless of the volunteers’ art knowledge. It’s not just visual arts that have such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance, with its non-verbal nature, reduces stress by releasing tension and improving self-perception and movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different theories. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York, looks to our brain’s default (默认的) mode network, which is widely believed to play a key role in creativity. This network usually quiets down when we engage with the outside world. However, when we enjoy art, it becomes active along with other focus-related parts of the brain. This could be why art experiences can feel very intense. Even though we are still learning how this works, the power of art has been applied in therapy since the mid-20th century. It was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War I soldiers express themselves, as the traumas often affected their brain’s speech centers, limiting traditional talk therapy, according to American Scientist. Since then, art therapy has benefited over 650 million people worldwide. Studies like the recent one in the UK can help make art therapy more available. “We need more research that shows the outcomes in a very quantitative (定量的) way, in a scientific way, in a broad, systematic way,” said Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University. She explained that policymakers and insurance companies rely on this data to make decisions about coverage, according to a New York University press release in September. 51．How was the study conducted? A．Through historical data analysis. B．Through random observations. C．Through general population surveys. D．Through condition-based comparisons. 52．What was one result of the experiment? A．Viewing copies raised inflammation levels. B．Gallery visits caused more calm than excitement. C．Gallery visitors showed a larger stress drop. D．Art learners benefited more from art than others. 53．What does Vessel’s theory suggest about art? A．It activates multiple brain parts. B．It reduces attention to the outside. C．It weakens the brain’s default activity. D．It boosts creative abilities and memory. 54．What can be inferred about art therapy? A．It is not yet widely recognized. B．It mainly treats speech disorders. C．Its expansion relies on more data. D．Its effectiveness remains unproven. 55．What could be the best title for the passage? A．Art’s power to heal B．The impact of artworks on people’s health C．Why is art so useful? D．Art can calm our bodies 【答案】51．D 52．C 53．A 54．C 55．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术，包括视觉艺术和舞蹈，可以通过减少压力和炎症以及激活大脑网络来改善人们的身心健康。它还解释了艺术疗法如何帮助许多人，以及为什么需要更多的科学数据来支持其更广泛的应用。 【详解】51．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The experiment involved 50 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. Half looked at original artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting.( 该实验涉及50名年龄在18至40岁之间的健康成年人。一半的人在伦敦的考陶德画廊观看原作，而另一半人在非画廊的环境中观看相同画作的复制品)”可知，研究人员将参与者分为两组，一组在画廊看原作，另一组在非画廊环境看复制品。由此推知，这是一种基于不同条件的对比实验。故选D项。 52．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The health sensors they wore recorded a 22 percent reduction of stress hormones in the gallery-goers and 8 percent for the other group, reported Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art.(据英国国家艺术慈善机构艺术基金会报道，他们佩戴的健康传感器记录显示，参观画廊的人的压力激素减少了22%，而另一组人的压力激素减少了8%)”可知，去画廊看原作的那组人流体中的压力荷尔蒙下降了 22%，而另一组只下降了8%。由此可知，画廊看原作的人压力下降幅度更大。故选C项。 53．细节理解题。根据第五段中“This network usually quiets down when we engage with the outside world. However, when we enjoy art, it becomes active along with other focus-related parts of the brain.(当我们与外部世界接触时，这个网络通常会安静下来。然而，当我们欣赏艺术时，它会与大脑中其他与注意力相关的部分一起变得活跃)”可知，当我们欣赏艺术时，大脑的默认模式网络会与其他与注意力相关的部分一起变得活跃。故选A项。 54．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Studies like the recent one in the UK can help make art therapy more available. “We need more research that shows the outcomes in a very quantitative (定量的) way, in a scientific way, in a broad, systematic way,” said Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University. She explained that policymakers and insurance companies rely on this data to make decisions about coverage, according to a New York University press release in September.(像英国最近的一项研究可以帮助艺术疗法更容易获得。“我们需要更多的研究，以非常定量的方式，以科学的方式，以广泛的，系统的方式显示结果，”纽约大学教授玛丽格雷斯·柏柏利安说。根据纽约大学9月份的一份新闻稿，她解释说，政策制定者和保险公司依靠这些数据来决定保险范围)”可推知，政策制定者和保险公司依赖定量数据来决定是否承保（即推广）艺术疗法。故选C项。 55．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提出艺术不仅作用于大脑还作用于身体；第二至四段通过实验证明艺术能降低压力、炎症，带来兴奋感；第五段解释大脑机制；第六、七段介绍艺术疗法的应用及其对数据支持的需求。由此可知，这篇文章最好的标题是“艺术的治愈力量”。故选A项。 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves(袖子), he spreads his arms like wings. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting crowds. He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos. Classical Chinese dance combines martial arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started to learn it at 12. “I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance,” said Ma. Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London. Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular tourist spot. She recorded Ma. He then edited the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it, which inspired me to share it online,” said Ma. Later, Ma made more short videos. He combines his dance moves with dazzling action. People are often curious about his performances. So, while dancing, he likes to interact with them. As his videos went viral, he received messages from people around the world. “Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma. 56．What is Ma Jiaolong’s style of dance?

Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London.(后来，马蛟龙在北京舞蹈学院学习。2019年起在伦敦大学金史密斯学院教授中国古典舞。)”可知，马蛟龙的舞蹈类型是中国古典舞。故答案为Classical Chinese dance。 57．考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge.(他曾在伦敦的公园和伦敦塔桥等标志性建筑演出。)”可知，马蛟龙经常在伦敦的城市公园和一些诸如伦敦桥之类的标志性建筑拍摄短视频。故答案为He usually makes videos in city parks and iconic landmarks in London。 58．考查细节理解。根据文章第六段“Later, Ma made more short videos. He combines his dance moves with dazzling action.  People are often curious about his performances.(后来，马蛟龙做了更多的短视频。他把他的舞蹈动作与令人眼花缭乱的表演结合起来。人们经常对他的表演感到好奇。)”可知，人们对马蛟龙的表演感到好奇。故答案为They are often curious about his dances。 59．考查词义猜测。根据划线单词所在句的主句“he received message s from people around the world.(他收到了来自世界各地人们的留言。)”可推断出，从句部分指的是随着他的视频在网上“越来越受欢迎”。故答案为became popular。 60．开放题。要求考生谈谈马蛟龙在网络上的影响力，并给出自己的理由，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为I think he is great, because he made the world curious about Chinese culture。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你是晨光中学学生李津，在加拿大友好学校的访问团来访期间，学校将举办主题为“The power of art”的中外学生演讲比赛，以促进文化交流。请选择你熟悉的一部艺术作品（可为绘画、音乐、雕塑、电影、书法等任何艺术形式）写一篇演讲稿，并至少包括以下三部分内容： 1. 该艺术作品的基本信息； 2. 描述令你印象最深刻的部分，并解释原因； 3. 表达你在欣赏后的感想或反思。 要求： 1.词数不少于100； 2. 语言尽量正式、条理清晰，注意段落结构与衔接； 3. 尽量使用多样的句型与恰当的词汇，避免明显语法错误。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Distinguished guests and dear friends, I’m Li Jin from Chenguang Middle School.
