M: Are you sure this was a good vacation? W: Yeah — but listen! When I looked down, there on the sand, right next to me, were my expensive sunglasses.

Today I am delighted to introduce our latest exhibition, “Echoes of the Past”. It features the works of photographer Emily Watson. Emily is well known for her devotion to preserving images of ancient architecture. Her interest was inspired during a childhood trip to Rome with her grandfather, where she saw a centuries-old church being torn down to make way for a shopping mall. The loss of that historical beauty deeply affected her. Since then, she has traveled across the globe, documenting temples, castles, and bridges before time or human activity claims them. Through her camera, she reminds us that cultural heritage is delicate. It is not just about old stones and wood; it is the memory of who we were. Let’s step into the gallery and witness the stories through her camera. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）If you enjoy drawing, we invite you to use your skills to enter our sixth annual Winter Cover Contest.

Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and he watched Jaws countless times. In 2009, he backpacked through Australia and dived along the way, which inspired him to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Shane and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene — the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Shane removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 24．(2.5分)What encouraged Shane to follow his passion seriously? A．His experience in Australia. B．His encounter with ocean animals. C．His profession as a dive instructor. D．His improvement of photography skills. 25．(2.5分)Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A．To blame overfishing. B．To protect natural habitats. C．To highlight marine pollution. D．To serve as material for his book. 26．(2.5分)What should underwater photographers do to create striking images? A．Focus on the injured underwater animals. B．Draw inspiration from the documented scenes. C．Film the entire scene beneath and above water. D．Devote themselves to a single photograph per dive. 27．(2.5分)What does Shane intend to do according to the last paragraph? A．Advocate for marine conservation. B．Promote his book Bahamas Underwater. C．Describe more details of marine ecosystems. D．Criticize people who ignore environmental issues. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．C 27．A 【导语】文章主要讲述水下摄影师Shane Gross的从业经历与环保理念。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2009, he backpacked through Australia and dived along the way, which inspired him to pursue his passion seriously.(2009年，他背包穿越澳大利亚，沿途潜水，这激励他认真追寻自己的热爱。)”可知，澳大利亚的经历鼓励他认真追随热爱。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.(他的照片后来获得2019年国际海洋艺术水下摄影大赛保护类一等奖，让人们关注到常被忽视的海洋垃圾问题。)”可知，他拍摄海龟是为了凸显海洋污染问题。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中“When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image．He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water.(当被问及如何拍出出色的水下摄影作品时，Shane建议水下摄影师不要只追求单张照片。他鼓励摄影师记录下自己热爱的完整场景，即便需要在水面之上拍摄。)”可知，水下摄影师要同时拍摄水下和水上的全部场景。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care.(Shane建议花时间欣赏海洋的绝美景色是促成有意义改变的第一步，实现从漠不关心到主动关爱海洋的转变。)”可知，他的目的是倡导海洋保护。 （本题10分）For centuries, coastal Fujian has fostered rich folk beliefs, where deities (神) like Mazu are deeply integrated into daily life, especially in Quanzhou. Now, Beijing artist Wen Na has brought modern sensibility to this tradition, transforming a courtyard house into an immersive art space named Canghaicuo. Over four years, she created a long mural and wooden sculptures there with local engraver Chen Zenghuang, weaving local folktales into a reinvented narrative inspired by Fujian’s maritime history. Central to Canghaicuo is Zhaohai, a deity Wen Na invented. Standing three meters tall, this sea guardian holds mirrors symbolizing calm seas and clear minds, reflecting the spiritual journey of those who once left home by sea. Wen Na’s work reimagines traditional deities with radiant colors and unbridled imagination, offering a romantic representation of the Minnan people’s worldview. Despite being a graduate of the Academy of Arts and Design at Tsinghua University, Wen Na did not start with deity painting. Inspired by classical literature, folk opera, and childhood temple fair memories, she developed a unique style defined by clean lines, animated expressions, and a contemporary palette. Her spontaneous approach, first seen in Jingdezhen, later gained international attention, leading to invitations in Europe. Her largest work, The Gods Go to Work, painted in Beijing’s Guomao subway, portrays over 60 deities as modern professionals — protectors of delivery workers and office staff. This humorous piece resonates with urban commuters, suggesting that modern self-reliance mirrors the independence of traditional deities. Wen Na believes creativity is a lasting force passed through generations. Recently, she collaborated with luxury group Kering for a New Year project, further showcasing her signature style. True to her belief, Wen Na’s work bridges heritage and modernity, proving that tradition can be carried forward with fresh, imaginative energy. 28．(2.5分)How were the local folktales presented in the art space Canghaicuo? A．Through a partnership with a European artist. B．Through a newly invented sea guardian deity. C．Through a long mural and wooden sculptures. D．Through a subway painting with modern experts. 29．(2.5分)What shaped Wen Na’s artistic style? A．The traditional belief in Mazu and sea gods. B．Her inspiration from classics and folk culture. C．Her academic training at Tsinghua University. D．Her artistic recognition across European countries. 30．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Wen Na’s artistic approach from her work The Gods Go to Work? A．She creates artworks for commercial purposes. B．She prefers to work with sketches to ensure accuracy. C．She combines traditional concepts with modern urban life. D．She focuses on traditional religious themes without humor. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Folk beliefs shape Minnan culture B．Sacred stories meet modern art C．Tradition inspires new art creation D．Deities reflect Minnan values 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．C 31．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了艺术家文那将福建传统民俗与现代艺术融合的创作实践。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Over four years, she created a long mural and wooden sculptures there with local engraver Chen Zenghuang, weaving local folktales into a reinvented narrative inspired by Fujian’s maritime history.(四年来，她与当地雕刻家陈增煌一起在那里创作了一幅长壁画和木雕，将当地民间故事融入以福建海洋历史为灵感的全新叙事中)”可知，当地民间故事是通过长壁画和木雕呈现在艺术空间沧海厝中的。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Inspired by classical literature, folk opera, and childhood temple fair memories, she developed a unique style defined by clean lines, animated expressions, and a contemporary palette.(受古典文学、民间戏曲和童年庙会记忆的启发，她形成了一种独特的风格，以简洁的线条、生动的表情和现代的调色板为特点)”可知，文那的艺术风格受经典文学和民俗文化的启发。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Her largest work, The Gods Go to Work, painted in Beijing’s Guomao subway, portrays over 60 deities as modern professionals — protectors of delivery workers and office staff．This humorous piece resonates with urban commuters, suggesting that modern self-reliance mirrors the independence of traditional deities.(她最大的作品《众神上班》绘制于北京国贸地铁站，将60多位神灵描绘成现代专业人士——快递员和办公室职员的保护者。这件幽默的作品引起了城市通勤者的共鸣，表明现代人的自力更生反映了传统神灵的独立)”可知，从文那的作品《众神上班》中可以推断出她将传统观念与现代城市生活相结合。 31．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了艺术家文那将福建传统民俗与现代艺术融合的创作实践，如将当地民间故事融入壁画和木雕中，以及创作《众神上班》等作品，体现了传统与现代艺术的结合。因此B项“神圣故事邂逅现代艺术”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。 （本题10分）A massive concrete-and-glass structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard. It is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in western America. Its daring architecture is not the only unusual thing about it. “We’ve given up traditional categories of geography,” says Michael Govan, LACMA’s director. “The idea is to wander.” The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another. The museum is loosely organized around oceans to emphasize trade and cultural exchange. The Indian Ocean section, for example, includes Turkish ceramics (瓷器) with blue-and-white flower patterns, influenced by earlier Chinese designs. LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” will probably always be on view but the neighbouring wall will sometimes hold photography. Such an adaptable approach allows for unexpected encounters. Yet not everyone may appreciate it. What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder. But if such experiments fail to impress, curators (策展人) can rearrange the art again. Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times. At the new LACMA, says Govan, “We don’t go into a dark box and somebody tells us what to think.” Rather, it tries to be in conversation with Los Angeles (LA). Architecturally, the museum’s uneven shape and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the palm trees (棕榈树) and hills, putting LA itself on display. 32．(2.5分)What is special about the new LACMA? A．Displaying artworks flexibly. B．Stressing ocean movement. C．Treating artworks differently. D．Featuring Chinese designs. 33．(2.5分)Why does the writer mention Tate Modern and MoMA? A．To compare them with LACMA． B．To highlight an exhibition trend. C．To promote long-term displays. D．To explain economic globalization. 34．(2.5分)What is a potential problem with the new exhibition style? A．It limits the variety of artworks. B．It depends on QR code technology. C．It brings little profit to art galleries. D．It causes confusion for some visitors. 35．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the new museum from the last paragraph? A．It values architecture over artworks. B．It may raise argument over art styles. C．It can mirror environments and times. D．It guides how visitors view the art world. 【答案】32．A 33．B 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文介绍洛杉矶郡艺术博物馆新馆打破传统展览模式，采用灵活布展，列举其他博物馆同类变革，谈及新模式弊端，指出博物馆应当反映所处环境与时代。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another.(博物馆的单层展厅对所有艺术作品一视同仁：没有任何一种艺术运动被视作比另一种更重要)”可知，新LACMA展出艺术作品具有灵活性。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands．London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art．However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links．The press hated it．In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays.(洛杉矶郡艺术博物馆（LACMA）的组织方式突破传统，象征着在全球经济不断扩张的背景下，向全球性美术馆发展。伦敦泰特现代美术馆过去一直以西欧艺术为中心，但自2000年后，它根据主题重新编排展品，以突出文化联系。这一做法遭到媒体的批评。2019年，现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）也拒绝了长期固定展览模式)”可知，作者提到泰特现代美术馆和现代艺术博物馆是为了突出展览趋势。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another．At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras．Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder.(对一位访客而言，一个深思熟虑的对比可能难以被另一位理解。在洛杉矶县艺术博物馆（LACMA），一张巨大的咖啡桌陈列着不同时代的陶瓷作品。为什么？扫描二维码的游客会明白；其余人则只能感到纳闷)”可知，新展览风格可能存在的一个潜在问题是：它会让部分参观者感到困惑。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times.(许多策展人认为，博物馆不应是僵化的艺术宫殿，而应反映其周围环境和时代背景)”可知，新博物馆能够反映环境和时代。 （本题12.5分）Many believe that you must have born talent to become an artist. Talent refers to a natural ability for a particular skill. ____36(2.5分)____ Many artists displayed extraordinary abilities at a young age. Talented individuals may find it easier to learn and master artistic techniques. This can result in quicker progress and potentially more innovative work. However, art involves a vast number of skills that can be learned over time. Artists who put in consistent effort over long periods often see significant improvements. There are many artists who started with little apparent talent but became successful through dedication. ____37(2.5分)____ Hard work usually means that there is a strong motivation behind it. Motivation often determines how persistently an artist practices and learns. Toughness and adaptability are important qualities going hand in hand with hard work. Toughness helps artists handle criticism and setbacks. ____38(2.5分)____ So what is more important? Often, the most successful artists possess both natural talent and a high work criterion. Talent might provide an initial advantage, but hard work ensures continuous growth. ____39(2.5分)____ Artists must be committed to lifelong learning, which requires hard work regardless of talent. ____40(2.5分)____ Access to quality education can greatly enhance an artist’s development. Teachers can provide valuable feedback, introduce new techniques, and inspire creativity. Regular exposure to different art forms, cultures, and experiences can also enrich an artist's work. Traveling, attending exhibitions, and studying art history contribute to a deeper understanding and broader perspective. A．Van Gogh is one example. B．Other factors can help, too. C．Working with other artists is crucial. D．Besides, the art world is dynamic and evolving. E．Being an artist is not dependent on talent but hard work. F．Adaptability allows them to evolve with trends and technologies. G．In art, this emerges as a good understanding of color, composition, or form. 【答案】36．G 37．A 38．F 39．D 40．B 【导语】文章主要探讨了天赋与努力对于成为艺术家的重要性，指出天赋能带来起步优势，但长久的努力、良好的心态以及外部条件同样不可或缺。 【详解】36．根据前文“Talent refers to a natural ability for a particular skill.(天赋指的是掌握某项特定技能的天生能力。)”以及后文 “Many artists displayed extraordinary abilities at a young age.(许多艺术家在年少时就展现出非凡的能力。)”可知，前文给出天赋的定义，后文具体到艺术家的天赋，故空格处应承接上文，解释艺术领域的天赋具体体现在哪些方面。选项G“In art, this emerges as a good understanding of color, composition, or form.(在艺术领域，这种天赋表现为对色彩、构图或形态的良好感知。)”衔接上下文，符合语境。 37．根据前文“There are many artists who started with little apparent talent but became successful through dedication.(有许多艺术家起初并无明显天赋，却凭借全身心的投入获得了成功。)”可知，空前陈述一个观点，空格处可能会举出具体人物事例来佐证这一观点。选项A“Van Gogh is one example.(梵高就是其中一个例子。)”承接前文，举例论证，符合文意。 38．根据前文“Toughness and adaptability are important qualities going hand in hand with hard work．Toughness helps artists handle criticism and setbacks.(坚韧和适应能力是与努力相伴而行的重要品质。坚韧的品质帮助艺术家应对批评与挫折。)”可知，前文介绍了坚韧的作用，空格处应接着说明适应能力的作用。选项F“Adaptability allows them to evolve with trends and technologies.(适应能力让他们能够紧跟潮流与技术不断成长。)”对应前文关键词adaptability，逻辑连贯。 39．根据前文“Talent might provide an initial advantage, but hard work ensures continuous growth.(天赋或许能带来初始优势，但努力才能保证持续成长。)”以及后文“Artists must be committed to lifelong learning, which requires hard work regardless of talent.(艺术家必须坚持终身学习，而这一过程不论有无天赋，都离不开努力。)”可知，前文肯定了努力对艺术家持续成长的重要性，后文提出艺术家需要终身学习、不断精进。空处需要填入过渡句，解释为何需要持续学习、持续努力，衔接前后逻辑。选项D“Besides, the art world is dynamic and evolving.(此外，艺术领域不断发展变化。)”解释了终身学习的缘由，起到承上启下的作用。 40．根据后文“Access to quality education can greatly enhance an artist’s development.(接受优质教育能够极大地促进艺术家的成长。)”以及本段后文内容可知，本段开始介绍天赋和努力之外的其他助力因素。选项B“Other factors can help, too.(其他因素也能起到帮助作用。)”总领本段内容，契合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）At first glance, a mess of weeds and a pile of dying leaves might seem unremarkable.

Over the years, my drawings became more expressive, but it wasn’t until I attended a lecture by Dr. Patch Adams that my art took on a new direction. He spoke about using humor to heal (治愈), reaching people in ways that medicine alone sometimes couldn’t. “A simple drawing could do more than just fill space on paper; it could bring light to even the darkest moments,” he said. His words sparked an idea in me: I decided to use my art to cheer patients in the hospital. By chance, I discovered that our local hospital had an arts-in-medicine program. Without a clear plan, I nervously called the head nurse and introduced myself as a “clinical cartoonist”. There was a brief silence before she asked, “What exactly is that?” I laughed awkwardly, admitting that it was something I had just made up. To my surprise, she invited me to come in and give it a try. Walking into the hospital for the first time with my sketchpad (素描簿), I felt both excitement and fear. I was used to spending hours alone, creating art. But now, I was in a children’s ward (病房), surrounded by patients and families facing real struggles. Could my humor fit into this space? Could my drawings bring any comfort to those in pain? That day, I met my first patient, Sarah, a 5-year-old girl who lay quietly in her bed, with no light in her eyes. Her mother sat quietly beside her to offer her comfort. I tried to introduce myself in a playful way, but Sarah didn’t seem to show any interest. Her look was fixed on the ceiling, distant and disconnected. The room was heavy with quiet tension. I knew I had to do something to break the ice. I pulled out my sketchpad and announced, “I’m going to draw something for you!” Sarah’s mother offered a faint smile, but Sarah didn’t react. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew I couldn’t give up and began to create my cartoon character. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at my drawings, Sarah finally broke into a long-lost smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I knew I couldn’t give up and began to create my cartoon character. After a while, several funny drawings appeared on the paper, which demonstrated a playful panda with a heart-shaped nose and a hat that seemed to dance on its head. I sketched with a gentle hand, each line a whisper of hope, trying to capture Sarah’s attention. The panda’s eyes twinkled with a friendly mischief, and its arms were open wide, as if inviting her into a world of joy and imagination. The atmosphere in the room seemed to warm up, with me waiting for Sarah’s reaction. Looking at my drawings, Sarah finally broke into a long-lost smile. Her eyes finally met mine, bright with a child’s wonder. The room, once heavy with tension, now echoed with the soft laughter of a child finding a magical world in a simple, yet powerful cartoon. Tears of gratitude welled up in her mother’s eyes as she watched her daughter’s face lit up with happiness. The panda had not only filled the space on the paper but had also cured the pain in Sarah’s heart, bringing the light back to her eyes. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小开始画漫画，在受到帕奇·亚当斯博士的启发后，作者决定用艺术来鼓舞医院里的病人。最终作者凭借一副熊猫画打动了一个五岁的女孩莎拉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我不能放弃，并开始创造我的卡通人物”可知，第一段可描写作者创作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着我的画，莎拉终于露出了久违的微笑”可知，第二段可描写莎拉被打动以及萨拉母亲感激。 2．续写线索：创造人物——开始绘画——莎拉微笑——母亲感激——作者感悟 3．词汇激活 行为类 ①吸引：capture/catch ②点亮：light up/lighten ③遇见：meet/encounter 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/pleasure ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] After a while, several funny drawings appeared on the paper, which demonstrated a playful panda with a heart-shaped nose and a hat that seemed to dance on its head.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Tears of gratitude welled up in her mother’s eyes as she watched her daughter’s face lit up with happiness.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Let's start our tour here on pair street, where the star is this star Marks harbour bookstore.

Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and he watched Jaws countless times. In 2009, he backpacked through Australia and dived along the way, which inspired him to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Shane and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene — the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Shane removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 24．(2.5分)What encouraged Shane to follow his passion seriously? A．His experience in Australia. B．His encounter with ocean animals. C．His profession as a dive instructor. D．His improvement of photography skills. 25．(2.5分)Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A．To blame overfishing. B．To protect natural habitats. C．To highlight marine pollution. D．To serve as material for his book. 26．(2.5分)What should underwater photographers do to create striking images? A．Focus on the injured underwater animals. B．Draw inspiration from the documented scenes. C．Film the entire scene beneath and above water. D．Devote themselves to a single photograph per dive. 27．(2.5分)What does Shane intend to do according to the last paragraph? A．Advocate for marine conservation. B．Promote his book Bahamas Underwater. C．Describe more details of marine ecosystems. D．Criticize people who ignore environmental issues. （本题10分）For centuries, coastal Fujian has fostered rich folk beliefs, where deities (神) like Mazu are deeply integrated into daily life, especially in Quanzhou. Now, Beijing artist Wen Na has brought modern sensibility to this tradition, transforming a courtyard house into an immersive art space named Canghaicuo. Over four years, she created a long mural and wooden sculptures there with local engraver Chen Zenghuang, weaving local folktales into a reinvented narrative inspired by Fujian’s maritime history. Central to Canghaicuo is Zhaohai, a deity Wen Na invented. Standing three meters tall, this sea guardian holds mirrors symbolizing calm seas and clear minds, reflecting the spiritual journey of those who once left home by sea. Wen Na’s work reimagines traditional deities with radiant colors and unbridled imagination, offering a romantic representation of the Minnan people’s worldview. Despite being a graduate of the Academy of Arts and Design at Tsinghua University, Wen Na did not start with deity painting. Inspired by classical literature, folk opera, and childhood temple fair memories, she developed a unique style defined by clean lines, animated expressions, and a contemporary palette. Her spontaneous approach, first seen in Jingdezhen, later gained international attention, leading to invitations in Europe. Her largest work, The Gods Go to Work, painted in Beijing’s Guomao subway, portrays over 60 deities as modern professionals — protectors of delivery workers and office staff. This humorous piece resonates with urban commuters, suggesting that modern self-reliance mirrors the independence of traditional deities. Wen Na believes creativity is a lasting force passed through generations. Recently, she collaborated with luxury group Kering for a New Year project, further showcasing her signature style. True to her belief, Wen Na’s work bridges heritage and modernity, proving that tradition can be carried forward with fresh, imaginative energy. 28．(2.5分)How were the local folktales presented in the art space Canghaicuo? A．Through a partnership with a European artist. B．Through a newly invented sea guardian deity. C．Through a long mural and wooden sculptures. D．Through a subway painting with modern experts. 29．(2.5分)What shaped Wen Na’s artistic style? A．The traditional belief in Mazu and sea gods. B．Her inspiration from classics and folk culture. C．Her academic training at Tsinghua University. D．Her artistic recognition across European countries. 30．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Wen Na’s artistic approach from her work The Gods Go to Work? A．She creates artworks for commercial purposes. B．She prefers to work with sketches to ensure accuracy. C．She combines traditional concepts with modern urban life. D．She focuses on traditional religious themes without humor. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Folk beliefs shape Minnan culture B．Sacred stories meet modern art C．Tradition inspires new art creation D．Deities reflect Minnan values （本题10分）A massive concrete-and-glass structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard. It is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in western America. Its daring architecture is not the only unusual thing about it. “We’ve given up traditional categories of geography,” says Michael Govan, LACMA’s director. “The idea is to wander.” The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another. The museum is loosely organized around oceans to emphasize trade and cultural exchange. The Indian Ocean section, for example, includes Turkish ceramics (瓷器) with blue-and-white flower patterns, influenced by earlier Chinese designs. LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” will probably always be on view but the neighbouring wall will sometimes hold photography. Such an adaptable approach allows for unexpected encounters. Yet not everyone may appreciate it. What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder. But if such experiments fail to impress, curators (策展人) can rearrange the art again. Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times. At the new LACMA, says Govan, “We don’t go into a dark box and somebody tells us what to think.” Rather, it tries to be in conversation with Los Angeles (LA). Architecturally, the museum’s uneven shape and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the palm trees (棕榈树) and hills, putting LA itself on display. 32．(2.5分)What is special about the new LACMA? A．Displaying artworks flexibly. B．Stressing ocean movement. C．Treating artworks differently. D．Featuring Chinese designs. 33．(2.5分)Why does the writer mention Tate Modern and MoMA? A．To compare them with LACMA． B．To highlight an exhibition trend. C．To promote long-term displays. D．To explain economic globalization. 34．(2.5分)What is a potential problem with the new exhibition style? A．It limits the variety of artworks. B．It depends on QR code technology. C．It brings little profit to art galleries. D．It causes confusion for some visitors. 35．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the new museum from the last paragraph? A．It values architecture over artworks. B．It may raise argument over art styles. C．It can mirror environments and times. D．It guides how visitors view the art world. （本题12.5分）Many believe that you must have born talent to become an artist. Talent refers to a natural ability for a particular skill. ____36(2.5分)____ Many artists displayed extraordinary abilities at a young age.

Over the years, my drawings became more expressive, but it wasn’t until I attended a lecture by Dr. Patch Adams that my art took on a new direction. He spoke about using humor to heal (治愈), reaching people in ways that medicine alone sometimes couldn’t. “A simple drawing could do more than just fill space on paper; it could bring light to even the darkest moments,” he said. His words sparked an idea in me: I decided to use my art to cheer patients in the hospital. By chance, I discovered that our local hospital had an arts-in-medicine program. Without a clear plan, I nervously called the head nurse and introduced myself as a “clinical cartoonist”. There was a brief silence before she asked, “What exactly is that?” I laughed awkwardly, admitting that it was something I had just made up. To my surprise, she invited me to come in and give it a try. Walking into the hospital for the first time with my sketchpad (素描簿), I felt both excitement and fear. I was used to spending hours alone, creating art. But now, I was in a children’s ward (病房), surrounded by patients and families facing real struggles. Could my humor fit into this space? Could my drawings bring any comfort to those in pain? That day, I met my first patient, Sarah, a 5-year-old girl who lay quietly in her bed, with no light in her eyes. Her mother sat quietly beside her to offer her comfort. I tried to introduce myself in a playful way, but Sarah didn’t seem to show any interest. Her look was fixed on the ceiling, distant and disconnected. The room was heavy with quiet tension. I knew I had to do something to break the ice. I pulled out my sketchpad and announced, “I’m going to draw something for you!” Sarah’s mother offered a faint smile, but Sarah didn’t react. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew I couldn’t give up and began to create my cartoon character. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at my drawings, Sarah finally broke into a long-lost smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
