With 3D printing technology, this is possible. Unlike traditional printing which puts ink on paper, 3D printing builds objects layer by layer. How does it work? First, you need a digital design on a computer. Then, the 3D printer reads the design and starts to print. It uses special materials, like plastic or metal. The machine heats the material and squeezes it out, building the object from the bottom up. 3D printing is used in many fields. Doctors use it to make artificial bones and teeth. Engineers use it to make parts for cars and planes. Even chefs are using it to create chocolate sculptures! It saves time and allows people to create complex shapes that are hard to make by hand. 11. How is 3D printing different from traditional printing? A. It uses ink and paper. B. It builds objects layer by layer. C. It is only used for books. D. It is much slower than before. 12. What is the first step in 3D printing? A. Heating the material. B. Squeezing the plastic out. C. Making a digital design. D. Building the object from the bottom. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a use of 3D printing? A. Making artificial teeth. B. Creating car parts. C. Building real houses. D. Making chocolate sculptures. B A Brush with History When I was ten, my grandfather gave me a set of calligraphy tools. It included a brush, an inkstick, an inkstone, and some Xuan paper. I was excited but also nervous. I had seen my grandfather write beautiful characters, but I didn't know if I could do it. "Relax," he said. "Hold the brush straight." I dipped the brush into the ink and touched the paper. The ink spread quickly. My first character looked like a messy spider. I laughed, and so did my grandfather. "Try again," he encouraged. "Feel the paper. Control your breath." I tried again. This time, I moved slower. I focused on every stroke. It wasn't perfect, but it was better. Over the next few months, I practiced every weekend. My grandfather taught me about the history of different styles. I learned that calligraphy is not just writing; it is a form of art that shows the writer's mood and character. Now, whenever I write, I feel a connection to the past. It is a quiet time in my busy life. I still make mistakes, but I don't mind. I enjoy the smell of the ink and the feeling of the brush in my hand. 14. What did the writer receive from his grandfather? A. A book about history. B. A set of calligraphy tools. C. A beautiful painting. D. A box of colored pencils. 15. How did the writer feel when he first touched the paper? A. Confident and happy. B. Angry and frustrated. C. Excited but nervous. D. Bored and tired. 16. What does the writer think of calligraphy now? A. It is a waste of time. B. It is too difficult for him. C. It is just like drawing pictures. D. It is a way to connect with the past. 17. What is the best title for the passage? A. My Grandfather's Hobby B. How to Use an Inkstone C. Learning the Art of Calligraphy D. The History of Xuan Paper C Is Digital Art "Real" Art? With the development of technology, digital art has become very popular. Artists use tablets and computers to create amazing works. However, some people argue that digital art is not "real" art because it lacks the physical touch of a brush and canvas. They believe that traditional art requires more skill and soul. On the other hand, supporters of digital art say that the tool does not define the art. Whether using a pencil or a stylus, the artist still needs creativity, composition skills, and a good eye for color. Digital tools actually offer more possibilities. An artist can undo a mistake instantly or try different colors without wasting materials. It makes the creation process more efficient. In my opinion, both forms are valuable. Traditional art has a unique texture and history that cannot be replaced. The smell of oil paint and the grain of the paper are part of the experience. However, digital art represents the modern world. It allows for animation and interaction that traditional art cannot offer. We should respect both and enjoy the beauty they bring to our lives. 18. Why do some people think digital art is not "real" art? A. Because it is too expensive. B. Because it is too popular. C. Because it lacks physical touch. D. Because it is hard to learn. 19. What is an advantage of digital art mentioned in the passage? A. It has a unique texture. B. It smells like oil paint. C. It allows artists to undo mistakes easily. D. It uses real brushes and canvas. 20. What does the underlined word "stylus" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. A type of computer. B. A pen-like tool for tablets. C. A traditional paintbrush. D. A piece of digital art. 21. What is the writer's attitude towards digital and traditional art? A. He prefers traditional art. B. He prefers digital art. C. He thinks neither is good. D. He respects both forms. D The Two Gardens There were two neighbors, John and Mike. Both loved gardening. John was a perfectionist. He bought the most expensive seeds and tools. He spent hours every day watering, weeding, and measuring his plants. He wanted his garden to be the best in the town. Mike, however, was more relaxed. He planted various seeds and let nature take its course. He watered them when it didn't rain, but he didn't worry too much about weeds or the exact shape of the bushes. He enjoyed sitting in his garden, reading a book, and listening to the birds. One summer, a terrible storm hit the town. The wind was strong, and the rain was heavy. The next morning, John ran to his garden. He was shocked. His tall, perfectly shaped plants had been broken by the wind because they were too rigid. They had grown so fast with too much care that their roots were not deep enough. John looked over the fence at Mike's garden. To his surprise, Mike's plants were still standing. They were not as tall or perfectly shaped, but they were strong. Because they had to struggle a bit to find water and sunlight, their roots had grown deep into the ground. They bent with the wind but did not break. John realized that sometimes, too much protection can make us weak. Challenges make us stronger. 22. How was John's gardening style different from Mike's? A. John was lazy, while Mike was hardworking. B. John was strict and careful, while Mike was relaxed. C. John liked flowers, while Mike liked vegetables. D. John used cheap tools, while Mike used expensive ones. 23. What happened to John's plants after the storm? A. They grew taller. B. They were broken by the wind. C. They survived and looked beautiful. D. They bent but did not break. 24. Why were Mike's plants stronger? A. Because he used better seeds. B. Because he watered them more often. C. Because they had deeper roots from struggling. D. Because they were protected by a fence. 25. What is the main lesson of the story? A. We should always try to be perfect. B. Gardening is a difficult hobby. C. Expensive tools guarantee success. D. Challenges can make us stronger. 三、信息还原。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The Science of Sleep Why do we sleep? It seems like a waste of time, but sleep is actually very important for our health. 26 .

We have fast food, high-speed internet, and express delivery. We want everything "now." However, a new trend called the "Slow Movement" is becoming popular. It started in Italy in the 1980s as a protest against fast food. Now, it is about more than just food. It is a way of life. The "Slow Movement" encourages people to slow down and enjoy the moment. It suggests that we should cook fresh food and eat it with family, rather than eating a hamburger alone in a car. It encourages us to walk or ride a bike instead of driving. It tells us to read a real book instead of just scrolling through short videos on a phone. Why is this important? Because slowing down helps us reduce stress. When we rush, we often feel anxious and tired. When we slow down, we can think clearly and feel happier. We can appreciate the beauty of nature and the warmth of human connection. Of course, this doesn't mean we should be lazy or late for work. It means finding a balance. It means doing things with care and attention. 54. Where did the "Slow Movement" start? 55. What does the "Slow Movement" encourage people to do? (List two examples) 56. Do you agree with the idea of the "Slow Movement"? Why or why not?

He watered them when it didn't rain, but he didn't worry too much about weeds or the exact shape of the bushes. He enjoyed sitting in his garden, reading a book, and listening to the birds. One summer, a terrible storm hit the town. The wind was strong, and the rain was heavy. The next morning, John ran to his garden. He was shocked. His tall, perfectly shaped plants had been broken by the wind because they were too rigid. They had grown so fast with too much care that their roots were not deep enough. John looked over the fence at Mike's garden. To his surprise, Mike's plants were still standing. They were not as tall or perfectly shaped, but they were strong. Because they had to struggle a bit to find water and sunlight, their roots had grown deep into the ground. They bent with the wind but did not break. John realized that sometimes, too much protection can make us weak. Challenges make us stronger. 22. How was John's gardening style different from Mike's? A. John was lazy, while Mike was hardworking. B. John was strict and careful, while Mike was relaxed. C. John liked flowers, while Mike liked vegetables. D. John used cheap tools, while Mike used expensive ones. 23. What happened to John's plants after the storm? A. They grew taller. B. They were broken by the wind. C. They survived and looked beautiful. D. They bent but did not break. 24. Why were Mike's plants stronger? A. Because he used better seeds. B. Because he watered them more often. C. Because they had deeper roots from struggling. D. Because they were protected by a fence. 25. What is the main lesson of the story? A. We should always try to be perfect. B. Gardening is a difficult hobby. C. Expensive tools guarantee success. D. Challenges can make us stronger. 【答案】22.B 23.B 24.C 25.D 【导语】记叙文（寓言故事），主旨通过两位邻居不同的 gardening 方式及风暴后的结果，说明过度保护会削弱韧性，适度挑战反而能增强力量。 22. 细节理解题。根据原文“John was a perfectionist... Mike was more relaxed”，John 严格细致，Mike 放松随意，故选B。 23. 细节理解题。原文明确“his plants had been broken by the wind”，故选B。 24. 细节理解题。依据“their roots had grown deep because they had to struggle”，故选C。 25. 主旨大意题。结尾点明“Challenges make us stronger”，故选D。 三、信息还原。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The Science of Sleep Why do we sleep? It seems like a waste of time, but sleep is actually very important for our health. 26 . First, sleep helps our brain process information. When we are awake, our brain takes in a lot of information. 27 . It decides what to keep and what to throw away. This is why students need enough sleep before exams. It helps them remember what they have learned. 28 . While we sleep, our body repairs cells and builds muscle. It also releases hormones that help us grow. If we don't get enough sleep, we may get sick more easily because our immune system becomes weak. However, many teenagers do not get enough sleep. They stay up late playing games or watching videos. 29 . They feel tired and cannot focus in class. To have a good sleep, you should have a regular schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. 30 . Keep your room dark and quiet. Avoid using phones or computers right before bed, as the blue light can make it hard to fall asleep. A. Sleep is also good for our body B. Here are some reasons why C. This leads to many problems D. During sleep, the brain is very busy E. Also, pay attention to your sleep environment F. Eating too much sugar is bad for sleep G.

We have fast food, high-speed internet, and express delivery. We want everything "now." However, a new trend called the "Slow Movement" is becoming popular. It started in Italy in the 1980s as a protest against fast food. Now, it is about more than just food. It is a way of life. The "Slow Movement" encourages people to slow down and enjoy the moment. It suggests that we should cook fresh food and eat it with family, rather than eating a hamburger alone in a car. It encourages us to walk or ride a bike instead of driving. It tells us to read a real book instead of just scrolling through short videos on a phone. Why is this important? Because slowing down helps us reduce stress. When we rush, we often feel anxious and tired. When we slow down, we can think clearly and feel happier. We can appreciate the beauty of nature and the warmth of human connection. Of course, this doesn't mean we should be lazy or late for work. It means finding a balance. It means doing things with care and attention. 54. Where did the "Slow Movement" start? 55. What does the "Slow Movement" encourage people to do? (List two examples) 56. Do you agree with the idea of the "Slow Movement"? Why or why not? (请结合自身实际回答，不少于10词) 【答案】54. It started in Italy. 55. It encourages people to cook fresh food and eat it with family. It also encourages us to walk or ride a bike instead of driving. (任选两点即可) 56. Yes, I do. Because slowing down can help me reduce stress and feel happier. (答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文为说明文，主旨阐述“慢运动”的起源（1980年代意大利）、核心理念（放慢节奏享受当下）及其意义（减压、提升幸福感），强调在快节奏社会中寻求平衡的生活方式。 54. 题意：慢运动起源于何处？ 依据：原文第二段首句明确说明“It started in Italy in the 1980s”，直接对应问题“Where did... start?”。 55. 题意：慢运动鼓励人们做什么？（列举两点） 依据：原文第二段列举具体行为：“cook fresh food and eat it with family”和“walk or ride a bike instead of driving”（或“read a real book instead of scrolling short videos”），符合“encourages people to do”的要求。 56. 题意：是否认同慢运动理念？结合实际说明。 依据：需个人化回应。作为AI，基于训练数据观察到人类因快节奏产生压力（原文“slowing down helps reduce stress”），故支持该理念；回答需≥10词，强调实际价值（如“improves focus and well-being”）。 七、书面表达。(共25分) 假设你是李华，你校英语角本周的话题是 "My Favorite Art Form"。请你根据以下提示，写一篇短文，介绍你最喜欢的一种艺术形式（如绘画、音乐、书法、摄影等）。 内容包括： 你最喜欢的艺术形式是什么； 你为什么喜欢它（至少两点理由）； 它给你带来了什么改变或收获。 注意： 词数90左右； 文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。 例文： My favorite art form is photography.

With 3D printing technology, this is possible. Unlike traditional printing which puts ink on paper, 3D printing builds objects layer by layer. How does it work? First, you need a digital design on a computer. Then, the 3D printer reads the design and starts to print. It uses special materials, like plastic or metal. The machine heats the material and squeezes it out, building the object from the bottom up. 3D printing is used in many fields. Doctors use it to make artificial bones and teeth. Engineers use it to make parts for cars and planes. Even chefs are using it to create chocolate sculptures! It saves time and allows people to create complex shapes that are hard to make by hand. 11. How is 3D printing different from traditional printing? A. It uses ink and paper. B. It builds objects layer by layer. C. It is only used for books. D. It is much slower than before. 12. What is the first step in 3D printing? A. Heating the material. B. Squeezing the plastic out. C. Making a digital design. D. Building the object from the bottom. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a use of 3D printing? A. Making artificial teeth. B. Creating car parts. C. Building real houses. D. Making chocolate sculptures. B A Brush with History When I was ten, my grandfather gave me a set of calligraphy tools. It included a brush, an inkstick, an inkstone, and some Xuan paper. I was excited but also nervous. I had seen my grandfather write beautiful characters, but I didn't know if I could do it. "Relax," he said. "Hold the brush straight." I dipped the brush into the ink and touched the paper. The ink spread quickly. My first character looked like a messy spider. I laughed, and so did my grandfather. "Try again," he encouraged. "Feel the paper. Control your breath." I tried again. This time, I moved slower. I focused on every stroke. It wasn't perfect, but it was better. Over the next few months, I practiced every weekend. My grandfather taught me about the history of different styles. I learned that calligraphy is not just writing; it is a form of art that shows the writer's mood and character. Now, whenever I write, I feel a connection to the past. It is a quiet time in my busy life. I still make mistakes, but I don't mind. I enjoy the smell of the ink and the feeling of the brush in my hand. 14. What did the writer receive from his grandfather? A. A book about history. B. A set of calligraphy tools. C. A beautiful painting. D. A box of colored pencils. 15. How did the writer feel when he first touched the paper? A. Confident and happy. B. Angry and frustrated. C. Excited but nervous. D. Bored and tired. 16. What does the writer think of calligraphy now? A. It is a waste of time. B. It is too difficult for him. C. It is just like drawing pictures. D. It is a way to connect with the past. 17. What is the best title for the passage? A. My Grandfather's Hobby B. How to Use an Inkstone C. Learning the Art of Calligraphy D. The History of Xuan Paper C Is Digital Art "Real" Art? With the development of technology, digital art has become very popular. Artists use tablets and computers to create amazing works. However, some people argue that digital art is not "real" art because it lacks the physical touch of a brush and canvas. They believe that traditional art requires more skill and soul. On the other hand, supporters of digital art say that the tool does not define the art. Whether using a pencil or a stylus, the artist still needs creativity, composition skills, and a good eye for color. Digital tools actually offer more possibilities. An artist can undo a mistake instantly or try different colors without wasting materials. It makes the creation process more efficient. In my opinion, both forms are valuable. Traditional art has a unique texture and history that cannot be replaced. The smell of oil paint and the grain of the paper are part of the experience. However, digital art represents the modern world. It allows for animation and interaction that traditional art cannot offer. We should respect both and enjoy the beauty they bring to our lives. 18. Why do some people think digital art is not "real" art? A. Because it is too expensive. B. Because it is too popular. C. Because it lacks physical touch. D. Because it is hard to learn. 19. What is an advantage of digital art mentioned in the passage? A. It has a unique texture. B. It smells like oil paint. C. It allows artists to undo mistakes easily. D. It uses real brushes and canvas. 20. What does the underlined word "stylus" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. A type of computer. B. A pen-like tool for tablets. C. A traditional paintbrush. D. A piece of digital art. 21. What is the writer's attitude towards digital and traditional art? A. He prefers traditional art. B. He prefers digital art. C. He thinks neither is good. D. He respects both forms. D The Two Gardens There were two neighbors, John and Mike. Both loved gardening. John was a perfectionist. He bought the most expensive seeds and tools. He spent hours every day watering, weeding, and measuring his plants. He wanted his garden to be the best in the town. Mike, however, was more relaxed. He planted various seeds and let nature take its course. He watered them when it didn't rain, but he didn't worry too much about weeds or the exact shape of the bushes. He enjoyed sitting in his garden, reading a book, and listening to the birds. One summer, a terrible storm hit the town. The wind was strong, and the rain was heavy. The next morning, John ran to his garden. He was shocked. His tall, perfectly shaped plants had been broken by the wind because they were too rigid. They had grown so fast with too much care that their roots were not deep enough. John looked over the fence at Mike's garden. To his surprise, Mike's plants were still standing. They were not as tall or perfectly shaped, but they were strong. Because they had to struggle a bit to find water and sunlight, their roots had grown deep into the ground. They bent with the wind but did not break. John realized that sometimes, too much protection can make us weak. Challenges make us stronger. 22. How was John's gardening style different from Mike's? A. John was lazy, while Mike was hardworking. B. John was strict and careful, while Mike was relaxed. C. John liked flowers, while Mike liked vegetables. D. John used cheap tools, while Mike used expensive ones. 23. What happened to John's plants after the storm? A. They grew taller. B. They were broken by the wind. C. They survived and looked beautiful. D. They bent but did not break. 24. Why were Mike's plants stronger? A. Because he used better seeds. B. Because he watered them more often. C. Because they had deeper roots from struggling. D. Because they were protected by a fence. 25. What is the main lesson of the story? A. We should always try to be perfect. B. Gardening is a difficult hobby. C. Expensive tools guarantee success. D. Challenges can make us stronger. 三、信息还原。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The Science of Sleep Why do we sleep? It seems like a waste of time, but sleep is actually very important for our health. 26 .

It suggests that we should cook fresh food and eat it with family, rather than eating a hamburger alone in a car. It encourages us to walk or ride a bike instead of driving. It tells us to read a real book instead of just scrolling through short videos on a phone. Why is this important? Because slowing down helps us reduce stress.
