When I was a child, my grandfather had a small study filled with the smell of ink. On his desk, there was always a brush, an inkstone, and a stack of Xuan paper. I was always curious about what he was doing. One day, he asked me if I wanted to learn. I said yes excitedly.
He taught me how to hold the brush correctly. "Keep your back straight and your wrist relaxed," he said. My first attempt was a disaster. The brush felt heavy and uncontrollable in my hand. The ink made a big, ugly blot on the paper. I felt disappointed and wanted to give up. But my grandfather smiled and said, "Calligraphy is not about speed. It's about patience and heart. Try again."
I took a deep breath and tried again. This time, I focused on my breathing and tried to move the brush slowly. I wrote a simple character, "ren" (人), which means "person". It wasn't perfect, but it was much better than my first try. I felt a sense of achievement. From that day on, I started to practice every weekend. It was not just about learning to write; it was a special time I spent with my grandfather. Now, whenever I pick up a brush, I think of him and the valuable lesson he taught me.
29. What did the writer think of his first attempt at calligraphy?
A. It was perfect. B. It was a failure. C. It was interesting. D. It was easy.
30. What lesson did the grandfather teach the writer?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Calligraphy is for old people.
C. Patience and heart are important. D. One should write as fast as possible.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. My Grandfather's Study B. How to Write "Ren"
C. A Lesson in Calligraphy D. The Smell of Ink

Is AI a threat to human artists? This question has been widely discussed since AI programs like DALL-E and Midjourney could create amazing pictures just from a few words of description. Some people worry that artists will lose their jobs because AI can work faster and cheaper. They argue that AI-generated art lacks soul and true creativity, as it only copies styles from existing human-made artworks.
However, others see AI as a powerful tool, not a replacement. They believe that AI can help artists explore new ideas and finish boring tasks more quickly. For example, an artist can use AI to generate several background ideas and then choose the best one to develop further. In this way, AI becomes a partner in the creative process. The artist's role changes from a manual worker to a director who guides the AI.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. AI is a new technology, and like any technology, its value depends on how we use it. It can be used to create fake news or plagiarize (抄袭) others' work. But it can also be used to create new forms of art that we have never seen before. The key is for artists to learn how to use this new tool to their advantage. Instead of fearing AI, they should embrace it and find new ways to express their unique human creativity. The future of art will likely be a collaboration between human imagination and machine intelligence.
32. What is the main worry about AI art mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. It is too expensive.
B. It is not beautiful.
C. It may take jobs from human artists.
D. It is too difficult to use.
33. According to the second paragraph, how can AI help artists?
A. By creating the whole artwork for them.
B. By replacing them completely.
C. By helping them generate ideas faster.
D. By teaching them how to draw.
34. What does the underlined word "embrace" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Accept willingly. B. Refuse strongly. C. Ignore completely. D. Fear greatly.
35. What is the writer's attitude towards AI in art?
A. Fully against it. B. Completely for it.
C. Neutral and hopeful. D. Uninterested in it.
D
Have you ever wondered why leaves change color in autumn? It's a beautiful natural phenomenon that happens every year. During spring and summer, leaves are green because of a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素). Chlorophyll is very important because it helps plants make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This process is called photosynthesis (光合作用).
As autumn arrives, the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. Trees begin to prepare for winter. They stop making food, and the chlorophyll in the leaves starts to break down. As the green color fades, other colors that were in the leaves all along begin to show. Yellow and orange colors come from chemicals called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素). Red and purple colors come from other chemicals called anthocyanins (花青素), which are made in the leaves in autumn.
The specific colors you see depend on the type of tree and the weather. A warm, wet summer followed by a cool, dry autumn with sunny days and cool nights will produce the most brilliant colors. This is why some years have more beautiful autumns than others. Scientists study these color changes not just for their beauty, but also to understand the health of forests. Changes in the timing of color change can be a sign of climate change. So, the next time you enjoy the colorful leaves, remember that you are seeing a complex scientific process at work.
36. Why are leaves green in summer?
A. Because of carotenoids. B. Because of anthocyanins.
C. Because of chlorophyll. D. Because of sunlight.
37. What happens to chlorophyll in autumn?
A. It is produced more. B. It starts to break down.
C. It turns into red color. D. It helps make anthocyanins.
38. Which of the following weather conditions is best for brilliant autumn colors?
A. A cold, dry summer and a warm, wet autumn.
B. A warm, wet summer and a cool, dry autumn.
C. A hot, dry summer and a cold, wet autumn.
D. A cool, wet summer and a warm, dry autumn.
39. Why do scientists study the color changes of leaves?
A. To create new types of trees.
B. To make autumn last longer.
C. To understand the health of forests.
D. To sell more colorful leaves.
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to take photos of autumn leaves.
B. The scientific reason for autumn leaf colors.
C. The best places to see autumn leaves.
D. The importance of photosynthesis.

The Science of Rainbows
A rainbow is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the sky. But have you ever wondered how it is formed? It is a perfect example of science at work in nature. A rainbow appears when sunlight and rain work together in a special way.
The process begins with sunlight. Although it looks white to our eyes, sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When a ray of sunlight enters a raindrop, it slows down and bends. This bending of light is called refraction. Because different colors bend by different amounts, the white light is separated into its different colors, just like passing through a prism.
After the light is separated, it hits the back of the raindrop and reflects, or bounces back. Finally, as the light leaves the raindrop, it is refracted again. This whole process sends the different colors of light to your eyes at slightly different angles, creating the beautiful arc of colors we see as a rainbow.
To see a rainbow, you must be standing with your back to the sun and facing the rain. This is why rainbows are often seen in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. The center of a rainbow's arc is always directly opposite the sun from your point of view.
The Science Behind Rainbows
What it is
A beautiful natural phenomenon caused by the interaction of 56. __________ and rain.
The Light
Sunlight looks white but is a 57. __________ of all the colors of the rainbow.

·Sunlight enters a raindrop and bends. This is called 58. __________.
·The light is separated into different colors because each color bends a 59. __________ amount.

·The light leaves the raindrop and is refracted 61. __________.

You must stand with your back to the 62.__________ and face the rain. Rainbows are often seen when the sun is 63. __________ in the sky.
64. Why does a rainbow look like an arc of different colors?

When I was a child, my grandfather had a small study filled with the smell of ink. On his desk, there was always a brush, an inkstone, and a stack of Xuan paper. I was always curious about what he was doing. One day, he asked me if I wanted to learn. I said yes excitedly.
He taught me how to hold the brush correctly. "Keep your back straight and your wrist relaxed," he said. My first attempt was a disaster. The brush felt heavy and uncontrollable in my hand. The ink made a big, ugly blot on the paper. I felt disappointed and wanted to give up. But my grandfather smiled and said, "Calligraphy is not about speed. It's about patience and heart. Try again."
I took a deep breath and tried again. This time, I focused on my breathing and tried to move the brush slowly. I wrote a simple character, "ren" (人), which means "person". It wasn't perfect, but it was much better than my first try. I felt a sense of achievement. From that day on, I started to practice every weekend. It was not just about learning to write; it was a special time I spent with my grandfather. Now, whenever I pick up a brush, I think of him and the valuable lesson he taught me.

Is AI a threat to human artists? This question has been widely discussed since AI programs like DALL-E and Midjourney could create amazing pictures just from a few words of description. Some people worry that artists will lose their jobs because AI can work faster and cheaper. They argue that AI-generated art lacks soul and true creativity, as it only copies styles from existing human-made artworks.
However, others see AI as a powerful tool, not a replacement. They believe that AI can help artists explore new ideas and finish boring tasks more quickly. For example, an artist can use AI to generate several background ideas and then choose the best one to develop further. In this way, AI becomes a partner in the creative process. The artist's role changes from a manual worker to a director who guides the AI.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. AI is a new technology, and like any technology, its value depends on how we use it. It can be used to create fake news or plagiarize (抄袭) others' work. But it can also be used to create new forms of art that we have never seen before. The key is for artists to learn how to use this new tool to their advantage. Instead of fearing AI, they should embrace it and find new ways to express their unique human creativity. The future of art will likely be a collaboration between human imagination and machine intelligence.
32. What is the main worry about AI art mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. It is too expensive.
B. It is not beautiful.
C. It may take jobs from human artists.
D. It is too difficult to use.
33. According to the second paragraph, how can AI help artists?
A. By creating the whole artwork for them.
B. By replacing them completely.
C. By helping them generate ideas faster.
D. By teaching them how to draw.
34. What does the underlined word "embrace" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Accept willingly. B. Refuse strongly. C. Ignore completely. D. Fear greatly.
35. What is the writer's attitude towards AI in art?
A. Fully against it. B. Completely for it.
C. Neutral and hopeful. D. Uninterested in it.
【答案】32.C 33.C 34.A 35.C

Have you ever wondered why leaves change color in autumn? It's a beautiful natural phenomenon that happens every year. During spring and summer, leaves are green because of a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素). Chlorophyll is very important because it helps plants make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This process is called photosynthesis (光合作用).
As autumn arrives, the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. Trees begin to prepare for winter. They stop making food, and the chlorophyll in the leaves starts to break down. As the green color fades, other colors that were in the leaves all along begin to show. Yellow and orange colors come from chemicals called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素). Red and purple colors come from other chemicals called anthocyanins (花青素), which are made in the leaves in autumn.
The specific colors you see depend on the type of tree and the weather. A warm, wet summer followed by a cool, dry autumn with sunny days and cool nights will produce the most brilliant colors. This is why some years have more beautiful autumns than others. Scientists study these color changes not just for their beauty, but also to understand the health of forests. Changes in the timing of color change can be a sign of climate change. So, the next time you enjoy the colorful leaves, remember that you are seeing a complex scientific process at work.

The Science of Rainbows
A rainbow is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the sky. But have you ever wondered how it is formed? It is a perfect example of science at work in nature. A rainbow appears when sunlight and rain work together in a special way.
The process begins with sunlight. Although it looks white to our eyes, sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When a ray of sunlight enters a raindrop, it slows down and bends. This bending of light is called refraction. Because different colors bend by different amounts, the white light is separated into its different colors, just like passing through a prism.
After the light is separated, it hits the back of the raindrop and reflects, or bounces back. Finally, as the light leaves the raindrop, it is refracted again. This whole process sends the different colors of light to your eyes at slightly different angles, creating the beautiful arc of colors we see as a rainbow.
To see a rainbow, you must be standing with your back to the sun and facing the rain. This is why rainbows are often seen in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. The center of a rainbow's arc is always directly opposite the sun from your point of view.
The Science Behind Rainbows

When I was a child, my grandfather had a small study filled with the smell of ink. On his desk, there was always a brush, an inkstone, and a stack of Xuan paper. I was always curious about what he was doing. One day, he asked me if I wanted to learn. I said yes excitedly.
He taught me how to hold the brush correctly. "Keep your back straight and your wrist relaxed," he said. My first attempt was a disaster. The brush felt heavy and uncontrollable in my hand. The ink made a big, ugly blot on the paper. I felt disappointed and wanted to give up. But my grandfather smiled and said, "Calligraphy is not about speed. It's about patience and heart. Try again."
I took a deep breath and tried again. This time, I focused on my breathing and tried to move the brush slowly. I wrote a simple character, "ren" (人), which means "person". It wasn't perfect, but it was much better than my first try. I felt a sense of achievement. From that day on, I started to practice every weekend. It was not just about learning to write; it was a special time I spent with my grandfather. Now, whenever I pick up a brush, I think of him and the valuable lesson he taught me.
29. What did the writer think of his first attempt at calligraphy?
A. It was perfect. B. It was a failure. C. It was interesting. D. It was easy.
30. What lesson did the grandfather teach the writer?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Calligraphy is for old people.
C. Patience and heart are important. D. One should write as fast as possible.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. My Grandfather's Study B. How to Write "Ren"
C. A Lesson in Calligraphy D. The Smell of Ink

Is AI a threat to human artists? This question has been widely discussed since AI programs like DALL-E and Midjourney could create amazing pictures just from a few words of description. Some people worry that artists will lose their jobs because AI can work faster and cheaper. They argue that AI-generated art lacks soul and true creativity, as it only copies styles from existing human-made artworks.
However, others see AI as a powerful tool, not a replacement. They believe that AI can help artists explore new ideas and finish boring tasks more quickly. For example, an artist can use AI to generate several background ideas and then choose the best one to develop further. In this way, AI becomes a partner in the creative process. The artist's role changes from a manual worker to a director who guides the AI.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. AI is a new technology, and like any technology, its value depends on how we use it. It can be used to create fake news or plagiarize (抄袭) others' work. But it can also be used to create new forms of art that we have never seen before. The key is for artists to learn how to use this new tool to their advantage. Instead of fearing AI, they should embrace it and find new ways to express their unique human creativity. The future of art will likely be a collaboration between human imagination and machine intelligence.
32. What is the main worry about AI art mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. It is too expensive.
B. It is not beautiful.
C. It may take jobs from human artists.
D. It is too difficult to use.
33. According to the second paragraph, how can AI help artists?
A. By creating the whole artwork for them.
B. By replacing them completely.
C. By helping them generate ideas faster.
D. By teaching them how to draw.
34. What does the underlined word "embrace" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Accept willingly. B. Refuse strongly. C. Ignore completely. D. Fear greatly.
35. What is the writer's attitude towards AI in art?
A. Fully against it. B. Completely for it.
C. Neutral and hopeful. D. Uninterested in it.
D
Have you ever wondered why leaves change color in autumn? It's a beautiful natural phenomenon that happens every year. During spring and summer, leaves are green because of a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素). Chlorophyll is very important because it helps plants make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This process is called photosynthesis (光合作用).
As autumn arrives, the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. Trees begin to prepare for winter. They stop making food, and the chlorophyll in the leaves starts to break down. As the green color fades, other colors that were in the leaves all along begin to show. Yellow and orange colors come from chemicals called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素). Red and purple colors come from other chemicals called anthocyanins (花青素), which are made in the leaves in autumn.
The specific colors you see depend on the type of tree and the weather. A warm, wet summer followed by a cool, dry autumn with sunny days and cool nights will produce the most brilliant colors. This is why some years have more beautiful autumns than others. Scientists study these color changes not just for their beauty, but also to understand the health of forests. Changes in the timing of color change can be a sign of climate change. So, the next time you enjoy the colorful leaves, remember that you are seeing a complex scientific process at work.
36. Why are leaves green in summer?
A. Because of carotenoids. B. Because of anthocyanins.
C. Because of chlorophyll. D. Because of sunlight.
37. What happens to chlorophyll in autumn?
A. It is produced more. B. It starts to break down.
C. It turns into red color. D. It helps make anthocyanins.
38. Which of the following weather conditions is best for brilliant autumn colors?
A. A cold, dry summer and a warm, wet autumn.
B. A warm, wet summer and a cool, dry autumn.
C. A hot, dry summer and a cold, wet autumn.
D. A cool, wet summer and a warm, dry autumn.
39. Why do scientists study the color changes of leaves?
A. To create new types of trees.

The Science of Rainbows
A rainbow is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the sky. But have you ever wondered how it is formed? It is a perfect example of science at work in nature. A rainbow appears when sunlight and rain work together in a special way.
The process begins with sunlight. Although it looks white to our eyes, sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When a ray of sunlight enters a raindrop, it slows down and bends. This bending of light is called refraction. Because different colors bend by different amounts, the white light is separated into its different colors, just like passing through a prism.
After the light is separated, it hits the back of the raindrop and reflects, or bounces back. Finally, as the light leaves the raindrop, it is refracted again. This whole process sends the different colors of light to your eyes at slightly different angles, creating the beautiful arc of colors we see as a rainbow.
To see a rainbow, you must be standing with your back to the sun and facing the rain. This is why rainbows are often seen in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. The center of a rainbow's arc is always directly opposite the sun from your point of view.
The Science Behind Rainbows
What it is
A beautiful natural phenomenon caused by the interaction of 56. __________ and rain.
The Light
Sunlight looks white but is a 57. __________ of all the colors of the rainbow.

·Sunlight enters a raindrop and bends. This is called 58. __________.

·The light leaves the raindrop and is refracted 61. __________.
How to See It
You must stand with your back to the 62.__________ and face the rain. Rainbows are often seen when the sun is 63. __________ in the sky.
64. Why does a rainbow look like an arc of different colors?
B. 根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答卷纸的相应位置上。
