She uses cookies. Cho, who is also a baker, said the sweet treats “are the perfect platform for education, activism and healing.” The 39-year-old Korean American artist calls herself a “cookie activist.” She said she believes her art comes from a feeling of not belonging when she was young. Cho has gained fans over the last several years for her detailed cookie faces. Actors Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim and Tamlyn Tomita are among those who have praised her cookie designs. The city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Cho has lived since 2009, even honored her with a “Jasmine Cho Day” in 2020. Back in 2016, Cho was busy making cookies for her online bakery, Yummyholic. She decorated cookies with faces for a friend’s birthday party. The cookies received attention on social media. Soon, others wanted her cookies, too. Cho said, “It felt like a sort of superpower.” She had an “aha moment” of how to use her great power with great responsibility. Her art has taken her to interesting places. In 2019, she wrote and drew images for a children’s book, Role Models Who Look Like Me. In the last few years, she has made over 20 virtual and in-person appearances at universities, elementary schools and conferences. She also leads cookie-decorating workshops. Cho’s work highlights Asian American figures who are often overlooked, such as civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs and diver Sammy Lee, the first Asian American man to earn Olympic gold. “Part of what keeps me going is one day, I do hope that my work maybe becomes irrelevant because everyone has access to this history and awareness of it,” she said. 24．(2.5分)What inspires Jasmine Cho to create cookie portraits of Asian Americans? A．Her desire to win more national awards for her art. B．Her childhood feeling of not belonging to a particular group. C．Her ambition to make Yummyholic the most popular bakery.

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）As China accelerates its large-scale land greening and ecological restoration, once fragile ecosystems are transforming into vibrant tourism destinations. Forests, wetlands and karst landscapes have become powerful engines for consumption and employment. According to the 2025 China Land Greening Status Bulletin, the country completed afforestation of over 3.5 million hectares, with the forest coverage rate reaching 25.09%. This ecological miracle has fueled a total industry output value of 11 trillion yuan, directly driving employment for over 60 million people. This green transformation has created booming tourism markets. In Libo County, Guizhou Province, the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area — known as the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt” — has thrived. During the 2025 May Day holiday, single-day visitor numbers exceeded 70,000, setting a historical record. New activities such as hiking, heritage exploration and transparent boating have extended average visitor stays from four-and-a-half to around seven hours, effectively maximizing local consumption. Similarly, in northeastern Heilongjiang, Yichun City — known as China’s “Forest Metropolis”— boasts an 83.8% forest coverage rate. During the 2025 holidays, the city saw a 13.5% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, while online tourism consumption surged by 369.2%. This growth was driven largely by “forest-based tourism” and cool summer retreats. The ecological gains extend deep into rural revitalization. Currently, 19 Chinese villages have been named on the UN Tourism’s “Best Tourism Villages” list, the highest number in the world. Officials underscored that the nationwide “Beautiful China” initiative has successfully turned lush mountains into invaluable assets, leveraging eco-tourism to build prosperous and sustainable communities. 32．(2.5分)Which group of people would be most encouraged by the 2025 Land Greening Status Bulletin? A．Tech entrepreneurs seeking AI solutions. B．Job seekers in the forestry and tourism industries. C．Historians studying ancient karst formations. D．Urban planners focusing on industrial expansion. 33．(2.5分)What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The diverse biological species found in Guizhou Province. B．The challenges of preserving world natural heritage. C．The historical evolution of the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt.” D．The impact of eco-tourism on local consumption in Libo. 34．(2.5分)By promoting “forest-based tourism”, Yichun City is able to __________. A．decrease the overall forest coverage rate B．limit the number of visitors to avoid crowds C．witness a significant rise in online consumption D．replace all traditional agriculture with cool retreats 35．(2.5分)Which can be the best title for the text? A．China’s Rural Revitalization: A Global Model for the UN B．Booming Green Markets: Forests Become Invaluable Assets C．The Xiaoqikong Miracle: Records Broken During Holidays D．From Fragile to Vibrant: The Challenges of Land Greening （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. ____36(2.5分)____ They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer. “I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “____37(2.5分)____ I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.” ____38(2.5分)____ They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths.

She put her favorite magazines on the kitchen table and switched into multitasking mode, as she only had three-quarters of an hour to eat lunch and tidy up. She put bread in the toaster, soup in the microwave, and hurried to the bathroom. Washing her hands, she stared at the rain outside, feeling overwhelmed. Suddenly, something caught her eye. A bird she had never seen before sat on the chimney pot — crow-sized but golden like the sun. She dried her hands and raced to grab her phone. Her heart beat wildly as she snapped (拍快照) quick shots through the window. The bird kept moving, its head at odd angles in her photos. Just then, the microwave pinged and toast burned. She raced back, then her phone dinged: no after-school club today. She had forgotten. She wolfed down her soup, left the house in a mess, and rushed to pick up her son Eddie. That evening, she showed him the pictures. “It’s a kestrel (红隼)!” he said excitedly, and then frowned. “Mum, these are rubbish! You could have stopped and waited to get a better shot!” The mother smiled sadly. If she hadn’t been so busy, she could have opened the window and framed the perfect snap. “I wish it would come back,” she sighed. “Let’s put food on the windowsill. Maybe it will return,” Eddie said. The next day, they bought a small bird feeder. As they fixed it outside, Eddie pointed to a magazine on the table Wildlife Encounters. “Look, Mum, they have a ‘Reader’s Best Shot’ contest. You’ve long wanted to join a photography contest, haven’t you? If you get a good picture, you could enter!” Amelia glanced at the cover, which showed a stunning bird photo, and smiled weakly. “Maybe,” she said, though she didn’t really believe it. Every morning after that, she paused to check the feeder. The kestrel did not appear, but the simple act of waiting made her feel a little lighter. 注意： 1． 续写词数应为150个左右； 2． 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 One Sunday morning, while Amelia busied herself indoors, Eddie whispered, “Mum, it’s back.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, Amelia carefully selected her best shot and sent it to the magazine. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 The Art of Painting（适中版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1．5分）How does the painting make the woman feel?

But she does not use paper or canvas to create her art. She uses cookies. Cho, who is also a baker, said the sweet treats “are the perfect platform for education, activism and healing.” The 39-year-old Korean American artist calls herself a “cookie activist.” She said she believes her art comes from a feeling of not belonging when she was young. Cho has gained fans over the last several years for her detailed cookie faces. Actors Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim and Tamlyn Tomita are among those who have praised her cookie designs. The city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Cho has lived since 2009, even honored her with a “Jasmine Cho Day” in 2020. Back in 2016, Cho was busy making cookies for her online bakery, Yummyholic. She decorated cookies with faces for a friend’s birthday party. The cookies received attention on social media. Soon, others wanted her cookies, too. Cho said, “It felt like a sort of superpower.” She had an “aha moment” of how to use her great power with great responsibility. Her art has taken her to interesting places. In 2019, she wrote and drew images for a children’s book, Role Models Who Look Like Me. In the last few years, she has made over 20 virtual and in-person appearances at universities, elementary schools and conferences. She also leads cookie-decorating workshops. Cho’s work highlights Asian American figures who are often overlooked, such as civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs and diver Sammy Lee, the first Asian American man to earn Olympic gold. “Part of what keeps me going is one day, I do hope that my work maybe becomes irrelevant because everyone has access to this history and awareness of it,” she said. 24．(2.5分)What inspires Jasmine Cho to create cookie portraits of Asian Americans? A．Her desire to win more national awards for her art. B．Her childhood feeling of not belonging to a particular group. C．Her ambition to make Yummyholic the most popular bakery.

D．She thinks her art is not good enough to be remembered. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following words best describes Jasmine Cho’s personality? A．Creative and ambitious. B．Independent and cautious. C．Caring and competitive. D．Humorous and easy-going. 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】主要讲述艺术家Jasmine Cho以饼干为创作媒介，绘制亚裔美国人形象的故事。她因儿时的归属感缺失而创作，其作品受到名人称赞，她借此开展多种活动，希望通过作品让亚裔美国人的历史得到广泛关注，展现出她的创造力与抱负。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“She said she believes her art comes from a feeling of not belonging when she was young.(她说她认为自己的艺术源于儿时的一种归属感缺失的感觉)”可知，贾斯敏·赵创作亚裔美国人饼干画像的灵感来自她童年时不属于某个特定群体的感觉。 25．推理判断题。根据第五段“She had an “aha moment” of how to use her great power with great responsibility.(她突然意识到如何带着巨大的责任感来运用自己的这种强大力量)”以及最后一段“Cho’s work highlights Asian American figures who are often overlooked, such as civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs and diver Sammy Lee, the first Asian American man to earn Olympic gold．“Part of what keeps me going is one day, I do hope that my work maybe becomes irrelevant because everyone has access to this history and awareness of it,” she said.(乔的作品聚焦那些“常被忽视的亚裔美国人物”，比如民权活动家格蕾丝·李·博格斯，以及首位斩获奥运金牌的亚裔美国男子跳水运动员萨米·李。  她表示：“支撑我坚持创作的部分原因是，我真心希望有朝一日，我的作品或许会变得不再必要——因为到那时，所有人都能了解这段历史，并树立相关认知”)”可知，她的饼干艺术能将简单的食物变成推动改变的工具，让更多人关注亚裔美国人的历史，所以被认为是“一种超能力”。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Part of what keeps me going is one day, I do hope that my work maybe becomes irrelevant because everyone has access to this history and awareness of it,” she said.(她说：“让我坚持下去的部分原因是，我确实希望有一天我的作品可能变得无关紧要，因为每个人都能了解这段历史并有所认识。”)”可知，她希望自己的作品变得无关紧要，是因为希望亚裔美国人的历史能被广泛认知，那时她的作品就不再是让人们了解这段历史的关键。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段“Artist Jasmine Cho paints images of both well-known and forgotten Asian Americans．But she does not use paper or canvas to create her art．She uses cookies.(艺术家贾斯敏·乔绘制知名与被遗忘的亚裔美国人形象。 但她创作艺术作品不用纸张，也不用画布，而是用饼干。)表明贾斯敏・赵没有采用传统的纸张或画布，而是别出心裁地选用饼干作为创作媒介，这充分体现了她的 “Creative(富有创造力)”。根据最后一段“Cho’s work highlights Asian American figures who are often overlooked, such as civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs and diver Sammy Lee, the first Asian American man to earn Olympic gold．“Part of what keeps me going is one day, I do hope that my work maybe becomes irrelevant because everyone has access to this history and awareness of it,” she said.(乔的作品聚焦那些“常被忽视的亚裔美国人物”，比如民权活动家格蕾丝·李·博格斯，以及首位斩获奥运金牌的亚裔美国男子跳水运动员萨米·李。  她表示：“支撑我坚持创作的部分原因是，我真心希望有朝一日，我的作品或许会变得不再必要——因为到那时，所有人都能了解这段历史，并树立相关认知”) 说明她通过创作饼干画像，致力于让那些常被忽视的亚裔美国人的历史得到广泛关注，展现出她想要达成这一目标的远大志向，即 “ambitious（有抱负的）”。 （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）As China accelerates its large-scale land greening and ecological restoration, once fragile ecosystems are transforming into vibrant tourism destinations. Forests, wetlands and karst landscapes have become powerful engines for consumption and employment. According to the 2025 China Land Greening Status Bulletin, the country completed afforestation of over 3.5 million hectares, with the forest coverage rate reaching 25.09%. This ecological miracle has fueled a total industry output value of 11 trillion yuan, directly driving employment for over 60 million people. This green transformation has created booming tourism markets. In Libo County, Guizhou Province, the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area — known as the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt” — has thrived. During the 2025 May Day holiday, single-day visitor numbers exceeded 70,000, setting a historical record. New activities such as hiking, heritage exploration and transparent boating have extended average visitor stays from four-and-a-half to around seven hours, effectively maximizing local consumption. Similarly, in northeastern Heilongjiang, Yichun City — known as China’s “Forest Metropolis”— boasts an 83.8% forest coverage rate. During the 2025 holidays, the city saw a 13.5% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, while online tourism consumption surged by 369.2%. This growth was driven largely by “forest-based tourism” and cool summer retreats. The ecological gains extend deep into rural revitalization. Currently, 19 Chinese villages have been named on the UN Tourism’s “Best Tourism Villages” list, the highest number in the world. Officials underscored that the nationwide “Beautiful China” initiative has successfully turned lush mountains into invaluable assets, leveraging eco-tourism to build prosperous and sustainable communities. 32．(2.5分)Which group of people would be most encouraged by the 2025 Land Greening Status Bulletin?

A．China’s Rural Revitalization: A Global Model for the UN B．Booming Green Markets: Forests Become Invaluable Assets C．The Xiaoqikong Miracle: Records Broken During Holidays D．From Fragile to Vibrant: The Challenges of Land Greening 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．B 【导语】文章主要介绍我国大力推进国土绿化与生态修复，生态资源带动生态旅游蓬勃发展，拉动产业产值、促进就业，以贵州荔波、黑龙江伊春为例展现生态旅游红利，同时说明生态建设助力乡村振兴，绿水青山转化为宝贵财富。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据原文第一段“According to the 2025 China Land Greening Status Bulletin, the country completed afforestation of over 3.5 million hectares, with the forest coverage rate reaching 25. 09%.(根据《2025 年中国国土绿化状况公报》，全国完成造林面积超350万公顷，森林覆盖率达到25.09%。)”及“This ecological miracle has fueled a total industry output value of 11 trillion yuan, directly driving employment for over 60 million people.(这一生态奇迹带动产业总产值达到11万亿元，直接带动6000多万人就业。)”可知，林业和旅游行业的求职者会受到这份2025年国土绿化状况公报的鼓舞。 33．主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“This green transformation has created booming tourism markets．In Libo County, Guizhou Province, the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area — known as the “Green Gem on Earth’s Belt” — has thrived. (这场绿色转型催生了蓬勃发展的旅游市场。在贵州省荔波县，有着“地球腰带上的绿宝石”之称的小七孔景区蓬勃发展。)”以及本段介绍荔波小七孔景区游客量创新高、各类游玩项目延长游客停留时间、拉动本地消费的内容可知，第二段主要讲述生态旅游对荔波本地消费产生的积极影响。 34．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“During the 2025 holidays, the city saw a 13.5% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, while online tourism consumption surged by 369.2%．This growth was driven largely by “forest-based tourism” and cool summer retreats.(2025年节假日期间，该市游客量同比增长13.5%，线上旅游消费暴涨369.2%。这一增长主要依靠森林旅游和清凉避暑项目拉动。)”可知，通过发展森林旅游，伊春实现线上消费大幅上涨。 35．主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段“Officials underscored that the nationwide “Beautiful China” initiative has successfully turned lush mountains into invaluable assets, leveraging eco-tourism to build prosperous and sustainable communities.(相关官员强调，全国开展的“美丽中国”建设行动已成功将绿水青山转化为宝贵财富，依托生态旅游打造繁荣且可持续发展的乡村。)”及全文内容可知，全文围绕国土绿化带来绿色产业、生态旅游市场繁荣展开，核心主题是绿色市场蓬勃发展，山林成为宝贵财富，因此最佳标题为“蓬勃兴起的绿色市场：山林化作无价之宝”。 （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. ____36(2.5分)____ They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer. “I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “____37(2.5分)____ I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.” ____38(2.5分)____ They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths.

She put her favorite magazines on the kitchen table and switched into multitasking mode, as she only had three-quarters of an hour to eat lunch and tidy up. She put bread in the toaster, soup in the microwave, and hurried to the bathroom. Washing her hands, she stared at the rain outside, feeling overwhelmed. Suddenly, something caught her eye. A bird she had never seen before sat on the chimney pot — crow-sized but golden like the sun. She dried her hands and raced to grab her phone. Her heart beat wildly as she snapped (拍快照) quick shots through the window. The bird kept moving, its head at odd angles in her photos. Just then, the microwave pinged and toast burned. She raced back, then her phone dinged: no after-school club today. She had forgotten. She wolfed down her soup, left the house in a mess, and rushed to pick up her son Eddie. That evening, she showed him the pictures. “It’s a kestrel (红隼)!” he said excitedly, and then frowned. “Mum, these are rubbish! You could have stopped and waited to get a better shot!” The mother smiled sadly. If she hadn’t been so busy, she could have opened the window and framed the perfect snap. “I wish it would come back,” she sighed. “Let’s put food on the windowsill. Maybe it will return,” Eddie said. The next day, they bought a small bird feeder. As they fixed it outside, Eddie pointed to a magazine on the table Wildlife Encounters. “Look, Mum, they have a ‘Reader’s Best Shot’ contest. You’ve long wanted to join a photography contest, haven’t you? If you get a good picture, you could enter!” Amelia glanced at the cover, which showed a stunning bird photo, and smiled weakly. “Maybe,” she said, though she didn’t really believe it. Every morning after that, she paused to check the feeder. The kestrel did not appear, but the simple act of waiting made her feel a little lighter. 注意： 1． 续写词数应为150个左右； 2． 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 One Sunday morning, while Amelia busied herself indoors, Eddie whispered, “Mum, it’s back.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, Amelia carefully selected her best shot and sent it to the magazine. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One Sunday morning, while Amelia busied herself indoors, Eddie whispered, “Mum, it’s back.” Amelia’s heart raced. She slowly reached for her camera and moved to the window, Eddie following her. The kestrel sat calmly on the feeder, its golden feathers glowing in the morning light. This time, she opened the window a crack, took a long calm deep breath, and focused her mind fully on the moment. Click. Click. Steadily yet excitedly she snapped shot after shot — each one sharp, clear, and full of beauty. Eddie grinned. “Mum, you did it!” She smiled, pride in eyes. For the first time in months, she let go of hurry and felt completely present. That evening, Amelia carefully selected her best shot and sent it to the magazine. The moment the email was sent, a sense of quiet gratification welled up. As days passed in gentle calm, she gradually let the whole thing slip from her mind. Weeks later, a package arrived. Inside was the latest issue of Wildlife Encounters! And there on the front cover was her photo with her name below it! A caption read: “Winner of the Reader’s Best Shot Contest.” Amelia held the magazine, trembling. Eddie’s eyes widened and screamed, “Mum, you won!” Life was still busy, but instead of feeling trapped, she learned that hope and happiness are often just a pause away. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了终日忙碌的阿米莉娅偶遇红隼却因仓促拍不好照片，在儿子提议下设喂食器静待鸟儿、留意摄影大赛，后来红隼重现，她静心拍出佳作投稿并获奖，从中领悟适当停下脚步便能收获幸福的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写红隼再次出现，阿米莉娅平复心态、从容拍照，成功拍出清晰优美的照片，母子二人满心欢喜。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写阿米莉娅投稿后并未抱太大期待，许久后意外收到杂志，发现自己成功获奖并领悟慢下来才能收获美好的人生道理。 2．续写线索：偶遇红隼——从容拍摄——投稿参赛——意外获奖——顿悟人生 3．词汇激活 行为类 ①伸手去拿：reach for/stretch for ②颤抖：tremble/shake ③咧嘴笑：grin/beam 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/eagerly ②满足：gratification/satisfaction 【点睛】【高分句型1】The kestrel sat calmly on the feeder, its golden feathers glowing in the morning light.
