The painting touches him, transfixes him, dredges up memories of the past, and even seems to be communicating with him whenever he looks at it. Of course, not all of us art lovers can have a famous painting in our private possession like Theo does, but when we go to a museum, how many of us truly spend time marveling at pieces of art? The typical museumgoer grabs a map and spends the next two or three hours tracking down each exhibit’s highlights. They dart from one masterpiece to the next, battling the crowd for a better view, maybe taking a selfie or two, and then checking the item off their bucket list. But once they’ve left the museum, can they really say much about the artwork they’ve seen? Do they have any lasting impressions? Look deep A recent New York Times article suggest we slow down and truly spend time appreciating artwork that draws us in, not analyzing so-called masterpieces just for the sake of appearances. According to museum researchers, the article says, the average museumgoer spends only 15 to 30 seconds in front of a work of art. The New York Times interviewed James O. Pawelski, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania who studies connections between psychology and the arts. When you go to the library, you don’t walk along the shelves looking at the spines of the books and on your way out tweet to your friends, ‘I read 100 books today!’, Pawelski said. Yet that’s exactly how many of us experience museums. “They see as much of art as you see spines on books,” said Pawelski. “You can’t really see a painting as you’re walking by it.” Pawelski said that if you do choose to slow down — to find a piece of art that speaks to you and observe it for minutes rather than seconds — you are more likely to connect with the art, and maybe even with yourself. 在唐娜.塔特所著的畅销小说《金丝雀》中，主人公西奥与一幅名为《金丝雀》的油画产生了特别的感情。这幅油画出自荷兰著名画家卡尔.法布里蒂乌斯之手，画中是一只被拴住的金丝雀。这幅画触动了西奥的内心，令他如痴如醉，勾起了他种种的回忆，甚至不论西奥何时看到它，都觉得这画在和自己说话。当然，我们这些艺术爱好者并非人人都能像西奥一样拥有如此有名的私藏。但是，当我们走进博物馆的时候，又有多少人真正驻足于每一幅作品，花时间感受它带来的震撼？ 　　 博物馆游览者最典型的形象就是手握地图，用一两个小时苦苦寻找每个展区的“亮点”，然后在名作之间飞奔，从拥挤的人群中努力寻得一处尚佳的角度，留下一两张自拍，最后在自己的“遗愿清单”上划掉此项。 　　 但是，当他们离开博物馆时，谁又能真得对自己看过的艺术作品说出一二？或者对哪幅作品印象深刻？ 　　“深情”对望 　　《纽约时报》最近的一篇文章就建议人们真正花点时间来慢慢品味艺术作品，而不只是对那些所谓名作的外观评头品足。 　　 在这篇文章中，研究人员指出，游览博物馆的人在每幅作品前停留的平均时间只有15至30秒左右。 　《纽约时报》为此采访了宾夕法尼亚大学的教授詹姆斯?帕维斯基，他专门从事心理学与艺术作品间联系的研究。 　　帕维斯基教授说，当你走进图书馆时，你匆匆走过一座座书架，都来不及浏览架上图书的书脊，但是当你走出图书馆时，你会立刻在微博上@你的好友们，并写到“我今天又读了100本书！” 　　我们中的很多人也正是这样参观博物馆的。帕维斯基教授说，“他们看艺术作品就像看书架上的书脊一样，如果你只是匆匆走过，你是不可能真正看懂一幅画的。” 　　他还说，如果你能放慢脚步，找到一幅对与你胃口的作品，细细欣赏几分钟而不是几秒钟的匆匆一瞥，那么你也许会与艺术作品有更多的交流，甚至与自己能有更多的沟通。 【长难句分析】 ‌1. The painting touches him, transfixes him, dredges up memories of the past, and even seems to be communicating with him whenever he looks at it. ‌翻译:‌ 这幅画触动了西奥的内心，令他如痴如醉，勾起了他种种的回忆，甚至不论西奥何时看到它，都觉得这画在和自己说话。 ‌重点transfix 意思是“使惊呆;使呆住”，dredges up memories of the past勾起了他种种的回忆dredge up意思是“翻出，重提”。 ‌2.

It is the source of many of the world’s great inventions, including paper, the compass, gunpowder, and printing, not to mention china (porcelain) itself. But maybe the greatest contribution that the country and its language have made to the Western world is tea. The drink is first mentioned in English in 165 The Chinese connection first found in US English in the early 20th century. 　　中华文明可以至少追溯到公元前300万年。它是世界上许多伟大发明的源头，例如造纸术，指南针，火药和印刷术。更不用说还有瓷器本身。但是对中西方语言文化交流作出最大贡献的是茶。茶最早在1655年引入英国，而英语和汉语的关联，最早也是在20世纪初的美式英语中被发现。 　　People drinking something stronger than tea might say chin-chin, or‘cheers!’This is a mangled pronunciation of qing qing, a Chinese greeting. Another‘doubled’word is chop-chop, or‘quickly’. Chop here is a pidgin Chinese rendition of Chinese kuaì‘quick, nimble’, and is also found in chopstick. 　　人们在喝比茶更浓的饮品时可能会说“chin chin”或者“干杯”！这是模仿中国“请请”的发音。另外一个双音节词则是”chop-chop”，意为“快快”。这里的chop基于“筷子”的“筷”的发音，是对中式发音“快”的模仿。 　Our range of savoury relishes was extended when traders introduced us to ketchup at the end of the 17th century. The name may come from Chinese‘tomato juice’. 在17世纪末番茄酱被引入之后，菜肴的风味有了延展。这个名字可能和汉语中的“番茄汁”相关。 　　Contact with imperial China in the early 19th century introduced Westerners to the Chinese custom of kowtowing—kneeling down and touching the forehead on the ground in worship or submission. The word means literally ‘to knock the head’. 　　19世纪初期，西方人开始了解了封建王朝叩头的礼节——双膝跪地，前额轻触地面以显示尊敬或降服之意。这个词字面意思就是“头和地面相碰”。 　　Ginseng is a plant whose root is credited with various health-giving and medicinal properties. Its Chinese name, rénshén, literally means‘man root’, a reference to the root’s forked shape, which supposedly resembles a person. 　　Ginseng是一种植物的根茎，被认为可以促进健康并有药用价值。它的中文名字“人参”的意思是“人的根”，因其形状酷似人形而得名。 　　Gung-ho, meaning‘unthinkingly enthusiastic and eager, especially about fighting’, dates from the Second World War. It is from Chinese gōnghé‘to work together’, and was adopted as a slogan by the US Marines fighting in the Pacific under General Evans Carlson (1896–1947). He organized ‘Gung-ho’ meetings to discuss problems and explain orders to promote cooperation. 　　Gung-ho，意味不加思考的热情和冲动，尤为好斗。它的起源可追溯至二战。原形为汉语中的“共和”，即一起工作，并在埃文斯卡尔森将军 (1896–1947)领导的太平洋海战中被引入作为口号。他组织召开“共和”会议来研讨问题，促进合作。 　　Increasing interest in our living spaces in the 1990s led to the popularity of feng shui, the ancient Chinese system of designing buildings and arranging objects in rooms to achieve a positive flow of energy and so bring happiness or good luck. It goes back a long way in English, and even had an entry in the Encyclopaedia Britannica of 179 　　对于生存环境的愈发好奇使得在20世纪90年代，“风水”一词被引入，它指的是中国古代建筑及安排房间内物品摆放以达到能量均衡，从而带来幸福安康的一种方式。该词早在1797年就被收入大不列颠百科全书。 　　Not all our Chinese words are ancient, though. China’s first manned space flight in 2003 gave us taikonaut, a Chinese astronaut—taikong means‘outer space’. 　　然而也不是所有的中文都源自古代。2003年，中国对太空领域的第一次载人探索使得新词taikonaut诞生，意味中国宇航员。 Passage3 Chinese traditional culture in English -- Calligraphy 用英语讲中国传统文化 ——书法 Calligraphy is a traditional art form in China that has a history of thousands of years. It involves writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink, creating beautiful and expressive works of art. Calligraphy is not just about the characters themselves, but also about the rhythm, balance, and aesthetic harmony of the brushstrokes. From the invention of hieroglyphics to the evolution of various calligraphic scripts, calligraphy has played a critical role in Chinese culture and history for thousands of years. During Jin Dynasty (AD 265-420), calligraphy became an expression of superiority among noble families. The rivalries were so intense that young children were ordered to receive extensive training in calligraphy. Wang Xizhi was among those raised in noble families. Along with his son, Wang Xianzhi, the Wangs were considered the greatest calligraphers in Chinese history whose achievements were insurmountable for late generations. Therefore, Jin Dynasty is the pinnacle of calligraphic works in Chinese history. The Orchid Pavilion Preface (or The Orchid Pavilion Calligraphy) is a famous Chinese calligraphic work by Wang Xizhi. It is considered one of the most famous and influential pieces of calligraphy in Chinese history. The preface is a poem written in praise of the beauty of nature and the joy of friendship, and it is said that Wang Xizhi wrote it at a gathering of friends at the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. The calligraphy style is characterized by its graceful and flowing lines, as well as its unique use of space to create a sense of balance and harmony. Today, calligraphy continues to be appreciated and practiced by many people, both in China and around the world. It serves as a bridge that connects the past with the present, and a window through which one can glimpse the beauty of Chinese tradition and culture, today is another Golden Age of Chinese calligraphy. 书法是中国的传统艺术形式，有着悠久的历史。它使用毛笔和墨汁书写汉字，创作出美丽而富有表现力的艺术作品。书法不仅仅是关于字形本身，还涉及笔画的节奏、平衡和美感的协调。从象形文字的发明到各种书法文字的演变，几千年来，书法在中国文化和历史中发挥着举足轻重的作用。 在晋代（公元265—420年），书法成为贵族家庭优越感的表现。竞争如此激烈，以至于年幼的孩子们被要求接受广泛的书法训练。 王羲之出身名门望族。与他的儿子王献之一起，王氏被认为是中国历史上最伟大的书法家，其成就是后世无法超越的。因此，晋代是中国历史上书法作品的巅峰之作。 《兰亭序》是王羲之的著名书法作品。它被认为是中国历史上最著名、最具影响力的书法作品之一。《序》是一首赞美自然之美和友谊之乐的诗，据说是王羲之在浙江绍兴兰亭朋友聚会时写的。书法风格的特点是优美流畅的线条，以及独特地运用了“虚”空间，营造出一种平衡和谐的感觉。总的来说，《兰亭序》不仅是一部书法名著，而且是中国重要的文化象征，代表了中国书法和美学的最高成就。 如今，书法仍然受到中国和世界各地许多人的欣赏和实践。它是连接过去与现在的桥梁，也是一个窥视中国传统和文化之美的窗口。今天是中国书法的又一个黄金时代。 Passage1（2025年河北省中考英语真题） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Mr. Johnson was an excellent maths teacher. His students would never 31 their first class he gave them. He always wrote the numbers 2 and 4 on the blackboard in the first class to his 32 students, and asked them, “What is the answer?” Whenever he asked this question, some of his students said 6 was the 33 . Some others thought that 2 was more proper and some of them 34 8 as the answer. Moreover, there were still others who were just 35 on their seats without a word. While the students were discussing what the answer was, Mr. Johnson always 36 their reply patiently. Finally, he sighed (叹气) and said, “Your 37 is useless because none of you focused your attention on the point: What 38 the question is asked about. Did I ask you to do anything about the two 39 ? Were they asked to be added, subtracted (减) or to do some other calculations (计算)? If you don’t know the question exactly, how can you give a 40 answer?” So let that be a lesson to all of us: It is important to know what the question is before we try to find out the key. 31．A．face B．accept C．forget D．cancel 32．A．new B．wise C．famous D．honest 33．A．age B．key C．time D．score 34．A．caught B．chose C．covered D．corrected 35．A．jumping B．landing C．sitting D．walking 36．A．learned from B．dreamed of C．believed in D．waited for 37．A．invention B．translation C．collection D．discussion 38．A．usually B．exactly C．directly D．suddenly 39．A．numbers B．lines C．letters D．shapes 40．A．quick B．short C．right D．ready Passage2 阅读理解（2025年山东聊城市中考英语真题） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断其后所给句子的对错。 Experts (专家) at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in singing was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. The experts got the result by doing an experiment. They invited 60 people and divided them into three groups of 20. Then they asked the three groups of people to study words from the Hungarian (匈牙利的) language. Why Hungarian, you ask? The experts said they chose Hungarian because not many people knew the language. All three groups studied the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. The scientists asked them to learn in three different ways. They asked the first group to simply speak the words. They let the second group speak the words to a rhythm (节奏). And they asked the third group to sing the words. Then the three groups of people joined in a few language tests to see what they remembered. The group of people who learned the Hungarian words by singing them did better than the others. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also did two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them. Dr Katie Overy was one of the experts who did the experiment. She thought the findings could help those who try to learn foreign languages. “The brain seems to like music, especially for remembering,” she said. So, the next time you study for a language test, try to sing out what you need to remember. 1．Experts found that singing the words was the best way to learn a foreign language. A．Right. B．Wrong. 2．Eighty people took part in the experiment. A．Right. B．Wrong. 3．Each group learned the words in a different way. A．Right. B．Wrong. 4．The second group of people did better than the others. A．Right. B．Wrong. 5．The writer suggests speaking the words when you study for a language test. A．Right. B．Wrong. Passage3 阅读理解 （2025年山东省济南市中考英语真题） Construction (建筑) is one of the biggest users of energy and one of the biggest polluters. According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of world energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases. It’s also well known that steel produces too much material waste in building construction. Because of this big challenge, the future of sustainable (可持续的) construction may lie with AI. AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage. With a tool like AI, the future of sustainable construction could progress much faster than in the past. Besides, AI helps architects (建筑师) work with new tools and sustainable materials to create our better buildings and cities of the future. For example, construction 3D printing guided by AI can offer better choices for building materials to save money, and map out how construction materials could be recycled. In a professional article, AI is praised as a tool for sustainable construction, “In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.” AI can be used to speed up the future of sustainable construction to set standards for the industry, and make construction more efficient and affordable. Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is particularly good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work. All of that has to be done with respect for humans, so it’s really up to us to make it work. 16．How is paragraph 1 developed? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling stories. C．By expressing feelings. D．By making comparisons. 17．How can AI help architects? A．Produce sustainable steel. B．Draw maps of dream cities. C．Invent recyclable 3D printers. D．Choose sustainable materials. 18．Which best explains the underlined word “promising” in paragraph 3? A．Facing challenges. B．Needing improving. C．Taking years to grow. D．Having a bright future. 19．What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph? A．It’s difficult to develop AI. B．Humans’ future depends on AI. C．It’s humans’ duty to guide AI. D．Humans and AI should work together. 20．What is the text mainly about? A．AI recycles construction wastes. B．AI may take the place of architects. C．AI helps sustainable construction. D．AI speeds sustainable development.

He became a student of Qin Qing, a great 36 known for his magical voice. After practicing for a few months, Xue Tan became 37 . “I’ve learned everything!” he told his teacher. “I’m ready to leave and sing alone!” Instead of getting angry, Qin Qing smiled and held a goodbye party for him on a quiet hillside. As the sun set, Qin Qing began to sing. His 38 started softly, like a gentle breeze (微风). Then it grew louder and stronger, shaking the trees around them. The clouds in the pink evening sky seemed to freeze in place. Birds 39 flying to listen, and even the wind went silent. Xue Tan’s face turned 40 with shame. He realized his teacher’s singing was like a roaring ocean, 41 his own voice was just a tiny stream (溪流). He fell to his knees and cried, “I was wrong to think I knew everything! Please let me keep learning 42 you.” Qin Qing kindly helped 43 up. “True skill isn't about showing off,” he said. “It’s about listening-to the world, to your heart, and to those who came before you.” From that day on, Xue Tan decided to 44 hard.

It involves writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink, creating beautiful and expressive works of art. Calligraphy is not just about the characters themselves, but also about the rhythm, balance, and aesthetic harmony of the brushstrokes. From the invention of hieroglyphics to the evolution of various calligraphic scripts, calligraphy has played a critical role in Chinese culture and history for thousands of years. During Jin Dynasty (AD 265-420), calligraphy became an expression of superiority among noble families. The rivalries were so intense that young children were ordered to receive extensive training in calligraphy. Wang Xizhi was among those raised in noble families. Along with his son, Wang Xianzhi, the Wangs were considered the greatest calligraphers in Chinese history whose achievements were insurmountable for late generations. Therefore, Jin Dynasty is the pinnacle of calligraphic works in Chinese history. The Orchid Pavilion Preface (or The Orchid Pavilion Calligraphy) is a famous Chinese calligraphic work by Wang Xizhi. It is considered one of the most famous and influential pieces of calligraphy in Chinese history. The preface is a poem written in praise of the beauty of nature and the joy of friendship, and it is said that Wang Xizhi wrote it at a gathering of friends at the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. The calligraphy style is characterized by its graceful and flowing lines, as well as its unique use of space to create a sense of balance and harmony. Today, calligraphy continues to be appreciated and practiced by many people, both in China and around the world. It serves as a bridge that connects the past with the present, and a window through which one can glimpse the beauty of Chinese tradition and culture, today is another Golden Age of Chinese calligraphy. 书法是中国的传统艺术形式，有着悠久的历史。它使用毛笔和墨汁书写汉字，创作出美丽而富有表现力的艺术作品。书法不仅仅是关于字形本身，还涉及笔画的节奏、平衡和美感的协调。从象形文字的发明到各种书法文字的演变，几千年来，书法在中国文化和历史中发挥着举足轻重的作用。 在晋代（公元265—420年），书法成为贵族家庭优越感的表现。竞争如此激烈，以至于年幼的孩子们被要求接受广泛的书法训练。 王羲之出身名门望族。与他的儿子王献之一起，王氏被认为是中国历史上最伟大的书法家，其成就是后世无法超越的。因此，晋代是中国历史上书法作品的巅峰之作。 《兰亭序》是王羲之的著名书法作品。它被认为是中国历史上最著名、最具影响力的书法作品之一。《序》是一首赞美自然之美和友谊之乐的诗，据说是王羲之在浙江绍兴兰亭朋友聚会时写的。书法风格的特点是优美流畅的线条，以及独特地运用了“虚”空间，营造出一种平衡和谐的感觉。总的来说，《兰亭序》不仅是一部书法名著，而且是中国重要的文化象征，代表了中国书法和美学的最高成就。 如今，书法仍然受到中国和世界各地许多人的欣赏和实践。它是连接过去与现在的桥梁，也是一个窥视中国传统和文化之美的窗口。今天是中国书法的又一个黄金时代。 Passage1（2025年河北省中考英语真题） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Mr. Johnson was an excellent maths teacher.

They found that remembering words in singing was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. The experts got the result by doing an experiment. They invited 60 people and divided them into three groups of 20. Then they asked the three groups of people to study words from the Hungarian (匈牙利的) language. Why Hungarian, you ask? The experts said they chose Hungarian because not many people knew the language. All three groups studied the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. The scientists asked them to learn in three different ways. They asked the first group to simply speak the words. They let the second group speak the words to a rhythm (节奏). And they asked the third group to sing the words. Then the three groups of people joined in a few language tests to see what they remembered. The group of people who learned the Hungarian words by singing them did better than the others. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also did two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them. Dr Katie Overy was one of the experts who did the experiment. She thought the findings could help those who try to learn foreign languages. “The brain seems to like music, especially for remembering,” she said.

According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of world energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases. It’s also well known that steel produces too much material waste in building construction. Because of this big challenge, the future of sustainable (可持续的) construction may lie with AI. AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage. With a tool like AI, the future of sustainable construction could progress much faster than in the past. Besides, AI helps architects (建筑师) work with new tools and sustainable materials to create our better buildings and cities of the future. For example, construction 3D printing guided by AI can offer better choices for building materials to save money, and map out how construction materials could be recycled. In a professional article, AI is praised as a tool for sustainable construction, “In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.” AI can be used to speed up the future of sustainable construction to set standards for the industry, and make construction more efficient and affordable. Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is particularly good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work. All of that has to be done with respect for humans, so it’s really up to us to make it work. 16．How is paragraph 1 developed? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling stories. C．By expressing feelings. D．By making comparisons. 17．How can AI help architects? A．Produce sustainable steel. B．Draw maps of dream cities. C．Invent recyclable 3D printers.

D．Having a bright future. 19．What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph? A．It’s difficult to develop AI. B．Humans’ future depends on AI. C．It’s humans’ duty to guide AI. D．Humans and AI should work together. 20．What is the text mainly about? A．AI recycles construction wastes. B．AI may take the place of architects. C．AI helps sustainable construction. D．AI speeds sustainable development. 【答案】16．A 17．D 18．D 19．C 20．C 【导语】本文主要介绍人工智能在建筑业的应用。 【解析】16．细节理解题。根据“According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of world energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases.”可知，第一段通过具体数据（如38%、55%、33%）说明建筑业在能源消耗和污染方面的严重性，故选A。 17．细节理解题。根据“AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage.”可知，人工智能能够通过对数据进行分类分析来研究建筑的能效表现，从而找到最有利于可持续材料使用的最佳方案。故选D。 18．词句猜测题。根据“In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.”可知，人工智能能够分析大量有关天气状况的数据，并有助于充分利用建筑系统以实现节能、节水等目标。所以是极具前景，故选D。 19．推理判断题。根据“Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is particularly good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work.
