It is designed to introduce your students to an art form that has been practised for centuries throughout the world. Your students will be totally absorbed as our performer presents several humorous short “silent stories” which may include many familiar illusions such as walls, ropes, ladders and everybody’s favorite — walking against the wind. The performer may even play different characters within the same story! Each program is followed by a short question-and-answer session. There is also an optional all-day program, in which the students receive instruction in small groups on mime techniques. These “funshops” exercise both the mind and the body. Mime Time is a fascinating educational experience designed to inspire the imagination in all of us!Program Summary Grade Level Kindergarten to Grade 9 Max Audience Size Depending on the space Session Time 45 minutes Daily Session Limit Up to 2 (Extra sessions available for an additional fee) Setup Time 30 minutes Teardown Time 30 minutes Required Facilities ◆A stage or 15’ × 25’ performance area ◆Private bathroom for performers to change clothes and apply makeup Subjects Covered ◆Theatrical storytelling ◆Performance of popular mime acts Feel free to call us at 800-433-7459 or email us info@mobileedproductions.com if you have any questions. 21．(2.5分)What can students do in Mime Time?

A．students B．teachers C．parents D．performers 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍“默剧时光”活动的内容、适用人群、场地要求等信息，吸引学校开展该教育活动。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Your students will be totally absorbed as our performer presents several humorous short ‘silent stories’ which may include many familiar illusions such as walls, ropes, ladders and everybody’s favorite — walking against the wind.(当我们的表演者呈现几个幽默的短篇“无声故事”时，你的学生将会完全沉浸其中，这些故事可能包含许多熟悉的幻象，比如墙、绳子、梯子以及所有人都喜欢的——逆风行走)”可知，学生在默剧时光中可以观看简短的无声表演。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据Program Summary部分中“Setup Time 30 minutes(准备时间 30 分钟)”可知，默剧时光活动需要30分钟的时间来布置场地。A选项“孩子年龄在9岁及以上”与原文表格第一行“Grade Level: Kindergarten to Grade 9(适用年级：幼儿园至9年级)”表述不符；C选项“超过一场活动需要额外付费”与原文表格第四行为“Daily Session Limit: Up to 2 (Extra sessions available for an additional fee)(每日场次限制：最多2场，额外场次需另行付费)”表述不符；D选项“可容纳45人的表演区域”，原文表格倒数第二行中为“Required Facilities ◆A stage or 15’×25’ performance area(所需设施◆一个舞台或 15英尺×25英尺的表演区域)”，未提及容纳人数。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Mime Time is a traditional presentation of classical and modern mime techniques. It is designed to introduce your students to an art form that has been practised for centuries throughout the world.(默剧时光是一场集古典与现代默剧技巧于一体的传统表演，它旨在向你的学生介绍一种在全球范围内传承了数百年的艺术形式)”可知，文章多次提及“你的学生”，且内容是面向学校的教育活动介绍。由此推知，文章的目标读者是教师。故选B。 （本题10分）A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly. The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems. From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt scared. My usual solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less scary. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry (几何学). But the practice brought my fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device (设备), and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to move in step. My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those difficult math problems, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally believed in themselves. 24．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To prove the difficulty of math. B．To introduce the topic of the abacus. C．To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D．To compare the author with Stevenson. 25．(2.5分)What do we know about the author from paragraph 3? A．He was weak in math. B．He was good at computers. C．He thought of math as useful. D．He had a close relationship with kids. 26．(2.5分)What does the author realize from his learning experience? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．It’s never too late to learn. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Faith can move mountains. 27．(2.5分)What did the author’s kids both gain from abacus learning? A．Interest in abacus. B．Working skills. C．Secrets to success. D．Self-confidence. 【答案】24．B 25．A 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者目睹了珠心算高手的表现后，亲身带着女儿学习算盘，在学习的过程中克服了对数学的恐惧，建立了自信。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.(几年前，我站在纽约市郊的一间小教室里，看着一位名叫塞雷娜·史蒂文森的高中生解答数学题。老师念出一串数字——74470、70809、98402，史蒂文森在脑子里把数字加起来。每一道题，她都会闭上眼睛，随后右手手指开始动起来。她答对了大多数题目)”以及第二段“The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘).(她成功的关键是一项古老的技术——算盘)”可知，第一段描述了一名高中生令人惊叹的心算能力，紧接着第二段揭示了她成功的秘诀是“算盘”（abacus）。因此，第一段的作用是通过一个生动的事例来引出本文的核心话题——算盘。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt scared. My usual solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.(我属于对数学心存疑惑的人，我对数学感到害怕。我的常规解决办法就是逃避，如果我需要计算类似百分比变化这类问题，我都会上网去算)”可知，作者数学不好，不擅长数学计算。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less scary....Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to move in step.(在上了几节算盘课，进行了大量练习之后，数学似乎没那么可怕了……部分原因似乎在于，练习和成果是同频的)”可知，作者通过自身学习经历意识到，坚持练习就能够改善能力、获得成果，也就是“熟能生巧”的道理。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally believed in themselves.(这些对她们来说只是小小的成功，但正是这些小成功让她们最终相信了自己)”可知，作者的两个女儿都从学习算盘的过程中收获了自信。 （本题10分）When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking. In the study, researchers divided 150 subjects into three groups. The audiovisual (视听的) group watched a 22-minute video that showed artworks while providing verbal (口头的) explanations. The visual-only group watched a 9-minute video with only simple visual descriptions and no spoken explanation. The control group received no training at all. After the training, all subjects were asked to rate a series of artworks — some they had seen during training and some completely new. The results were striking. Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. They felt they truly “got” the art, and the experience inspired new ideas. Even more interestingly, the benefits of training went beyond the specific artworks studied — a situation known as the generalisation effect, which refers to the spread of learned knowledge to new but related items. When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style. “These findings highlight how art knowledge training can promote art understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation,” the researchers wrote. They argue that schools should take note: art education is not just about producing future artists. It is a tool for developing creative thinking that benefits all students, despite their different career paths. In an age when many schools are cutting arts spending, this study offers a powerful reminder. Learning about art is an investment (投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world. 28．(2.5分)Why was Van Gogh’s Starry Night mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To question a common belief. B．To introduce the topic of the text. C．To compare two ways of appreciating art. D．To highlight the beauty of masterpieces. 29．(2.5分)What did the audiovisual training bring to subjects? A．Greater interest in art history. B．Stronger preference for familiar artworks. C．Higher ratings on creativity. D．Better ability to judge painting techniques. 30．(2.5分)What does the study say about the generalisation effect? A．It applies to all artworks equally. B．It requires long-term art training. C．It is limited to the specific artworks. D．It works for new paintings by the same artist. 31．(2.5分)Why does the author stress art education? A．It improves students’ way of thinking. B．It trains more professional artists. C．It enriches students’ culture knowledge. D．It helps students get fixed jobs. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项科学研究，表明艺术知识培训能有效提升创造力与思维活力。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking. (当你欣赏像梵高《星月夜》这样的名画时，你是真的看懂了吗？还是仅仅觉得它好看？根据最近的一项科学研究，学习艺术不仅能帮助你欣赏它——还能真正激发你的创造力，启发新的思考。)”可知，提及《星月夜》是为了引出本文关于艺术学习与创造力关系的主题。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. (接受完整视听训练的受试者在理解力、创作灵感和思维激活方面的评分显著高于其他组。)”可知，视听训练让受试者给出了更高的创造力评分。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style. (当给受试者展示同一位艺术家的全新画作时，接受视听训练的组别依然表现出了更高的理解力与灵感水平。然而，这种效应并未延伸至不同艺术家的作品，这表明艺术知识在熟悉的风格框架内应用时效果最为显著。)”可知，泛化效应仅适用于同一位艺术家的新画作。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Learning about art is an investment (投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world. (学习艺术是对年轻人如何思考、创造和理解世界的一种投资。)”可知，作者强调艺术教育是因为它能改善学生的思维方式。 （本题10分）During World War II, people on some Pacific islands saw Allied airplanes land carrying food and tools called “cargo”. After the war ended and the planes stopped coming, some islanders created practices to try to bring them back. They built fake runways out of dirt, made wooden control towers, and wore coconut headphones, copying what soldiers did. They believed that if they copied these actions, the cargo planes would return. But the planes never came. In 1974, physicist Richard Feynman used this story to describe a problem in science, calling it “cargo cult science”. According to Feynman, cargo cult science refers to practices that follow all the outward appearances and rigorous forms of scientific investigation — such as using precise statistics, writing formatted papers, and conducting experiments — but lack the essential core of scientific integrity. This missing core is a specific type of absolute honesty: a willingness to actively prove oneself wrong, publish failed results, and expose every potential flaw in one’s own theory. Without this deep intellectual honesty, all the complex technical machinery of research is just a meaningless performance, unable to produce true discovery. Today, education experts say many students show a similar pattern, called “cargo cult learning”. Students may spend long hours highlighting books, working in stylish coffee shops, and using apps to track study time. They copy the visible habits of good students, creating the feeling of hard work. But these surface actions often hide weak real thinking. Simply making neat notes or doing many practice problems without deep thinking or learning from mistakes leads to little progress. They often feel productive, but the learning is shallow and quickly forgotten over time. The main lesson is that success does not come from copying the outside forms of work True learning needs real understanding, which includes facing confusion, questioning ideas, and seeking clear understanding instead of only appearance. Real growth requires embracing difficulty, learning from errors, and focusing on understanding rather than performance or appearance itself fully. 32．(2.5分)Why did the islanders imitate what Allied soldiers had done? A．They attempted to attract more tourists. B．They wanted to resolve a scientific problem. C．They tried to drive away foreign Allied soldiers. D．They expected cargo planes to return with supplies. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Strict. B．Casual. C．Simple. D．Flexible 34．(2.5分)Which of the following shows “cargo cult learning”? A．Digesting knowledge after practice. B．Spending much time on fancy notes. C．Thinking deeply while doing exercises. D．Learning lessons from previous mistakes. 35．(2.5分)What might be the best title of the text? A．Growth and True Learning B．Cargo Cult Science and Fake Effort C．The Great Physicist Feynman’s Theory D．The Follow-up Effect of World War II 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．B 【导语】文章由太平洋岛民模仿军队盼物资的故事引出“货物崇拜科学”，延伸到学生只做表面功夫的虚假学习，指出真正学习重在深度理解而非形式。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“They believed that if they copied these actions, the cargo planes would return. But the planes never came.(他们相信，如果复制这些行动，货机就会返回。但飞机却从未归来。)”可知，岛民模仿士兵是希望货运飞机带回物资。 33．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“forms of scientific investigation — such as using precise statistics, writing formatted papers, and conducting experiments — but lack the essential core of scientific integrity(科学探究的形式——例如使用精确的统计数据、撰写格式化的论文、进行实验——但却缺乏科学诚信这一核心要素。)”可知，rigorous修饰科学研究流程，搭配严谨的统计、规范论文，词义为严格的。故划线词意思是“严格的”。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Simply making neat notes or doing many practice problems without deep thinking or learning from mistakes leads to little progress. They often feel productive, but the learning is shallow and quickly forgotten over time.(仅仅做整洁的笔记或大量练习题，却缺乏深入思考和从错误中学习的能力，导致进步甚微。他们常常觉得自己很高效，但学习效果浅薄，随着时间推移很快就会被遗忘。)”可知，长时间专注于华丽的笔记体现了“货物崇拜式学习”。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In 1974, physicist Richard Feynman used this story to describe a problem in science, calling it “cargo cult science”.(1974年，物理学家理查德·费曼用这个故事来描述科学领域存在的一个问题，称之为“货物崇拜科学”。)”结合文章由太平洋岛民模仿军队盼物资的故事引出“货物崇拜科学”，延伸到学生只做表面功夫的虚假学习，指出真正学习重在深度理解而非形式。可知，B选项“货物崇拜科学与虚假努力”最符合文章标题。 （本题12.5分）If you’ve ever pulled an all-nighter or had a bad night of sleep, you know it’s difficult to stay awake in class when you’re tired.

(此外，体内有足够的水分会让你保持警觉，帮助你避免感到困惑和疲劳。)”可知，上文建议带一瓶冷水来上课，下文说明了体内有足够水分的好处，本空应说明喝冷水能带来能量，从而保持清醒。G选项“You’ll get energy from the cold every time you take a drink (每次你喝水的时候都会从寒冷中获得能量)”能承接上文，引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 40．由下文“Such activity tells your body that it’s not time for sleep just yet. Walk around during breaks, go outside if you’re allowed to, and get your blood moving to keep a clear mind. After you stop moving, you might feel tired again, but it can help for a little bit. (这样的活动告诉你的身体现在还不是睡觉的时候。休息时四处走走，如果允许的话出去走走，让你的血液流动起来，保持头脑清醒。当你停止运动后，你可能会再次感到疲劳，但这会有一点帮助。)”可知，本段建议通过活动来保持清醒，如休息时四处走走，出去走走等，本空应概括本段内容，即课前或课后四处走走。B选项“Walk around before or after class (课前或课后四处走走)”符合语境。故选B。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Careers in science are generally believed to be too complex for students who aren’t talented or clever enough, but Scott Kelly, commander of the International Space Station, would prove it’s 41 .

The lively chatter of students around him only fueled his loneliness. Every day, he walked through the hallways feeling invisible and trapped in uncertainty. To escape this loneliness, Charlie turned to video games, where he became a hero battling monsters and saving kingdoms. In this digital world, he felt powerful and important, unlike his quiet life at school. Ms. Rita, his literature teacher, noticed the quiet boy at the back of the classroom, often lost in his thoughts. She had a gift for connecting with her students, always offering kind words or warm smiles. Although she encouraged Charlie to share his feelings, he hid his struggles, preferring the company of imaginary friends in his games, where he found the appreciation that was missing in his real life. Recently, Charlie became hooked on a new game. One Sunday evening, he immersed himself in its colorful world, ignoring his mother’s reminders to sleep. Excited by his adventures, he remained awake, thinking about strategies, which left him anxious and tired for school. The next day, unable to resist the temptation, Charlie secretly packed his gaming machine in his backpack. In Ms. Rita’s class, his heart raced, not from the lesson on poetry, but from the thought of playing during breaks. While other students engaged in discussions about finding something valuable in life, Charlie’s mind was focused on the game hidden in his bag. When the discussion opened up, he took the chance to peek at his gaming machine. As he powered it on, the screen flashed with new quests, and he lost track of his surroundings. Unfortunately, just as he was concentrating, the gaming machine slipped from his hands and crashed to the floor with a loud sound. Silence enveloped the classroom, and all eyes turned towards him, the weight of anxiety and tension heavy in the air. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 However, Ms. Rita picked up the fallen gaming machine with her usual warm smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Grateful while guilty, Charlie approached Ms. Rita’s office after school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1 However, Ms. Rita picked up the fallen gaming machine with her usual warm smile. Instead of blaming or criticizing Charlie, she playfully joked that he was the first student to uncover something really “valuable” from the poem they had just discussed. She urged the other students to work on their search for valuable things in life, adding that every perspective mattered. Her unexpected joke transformed the moment, and laughter erupted in the classroom, saving Charlie from embarrassment and easing his anxiety. In that instant, his heart began to lighten, feeling warmth instead of shame.Paragraph 2 Grateful while guilty, Charlie approached Ms. Rita’s office after school. He expressed his thanks for her forgiveness while admitting to his distraction during class. He recognized the need to balance his passion for gaming and study. Ms. Rita listened attentively, and returned his console with a smile. She encouraged him to join the school’s e-sports club, suggesting that combining his interest with social involvement help him connect with others. In that moment, Ms. Rita’s forgiveness and understanding melted his heart, inspiring him to embrace both his passion and the journey of building new friendships. 【导语】本文以查理在新学校的孤独状态为线索，讲述了他因沉迷电子游戏在课堂上被老师发现，而丽塔老师以宽容和理解的方式处理此事，最终鼓励查理平衡爱好与学习、积极融入社交的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，丽塔老师带着她一贯的温暖笑容捡起了掉落的游戏机。”可知，第一段可描写老师没有责备查理，反而用幽默化解尴尬，并引导学生继续课堂讨论，让查理感受到温暖的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“既感激又愧疚，查理放学后走进了丽塔老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写查理向老师认错并表达感谢，老师鼓励他加入电竞俱乐部，让他决心平衡爱好与社交的过程。 2. 续写线索：老师捡游戏机——幽默化解尴尬——课堂继续——查理课后认错——老师鼓励——查理决心改变 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①捡起：pick up/raise from the ground ②承认：admit/confess ③鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness ②焦虑：anxiety/worry/depression 【点睛】【高分句型1】Instead of blaming or criticizing Charlie, she playfully joked that he was the first student to uncover something really “valuable” from the poem they had just discussed.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及省略关系代词的定语从句修饰poem） 【高分句型2】She encouraged him to join the school’s e-sports club, suggesting that combining his interest with social involvement help him connect with others.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及that引导宾语从句） 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 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 Back to School（较易版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Where does the conversation most probably take place?

A teacher read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly. The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems. From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt scared. My usual solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less scary. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry (几何学). But the practice brought my fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device (设备), and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to move in step. My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those difficult math problems, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally believed in themselves. 24．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To prove the difficulty of math. B．To introduce the topic of the abacus. C．To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D．To compare the author with Stevenson. 25．(2.5分)What do we know about the author from paragraph 3? A．He was weak in math. B．He was good at computers. C．He thought of math as useful. D．He had a close relationship with kids. 26．(2.5分)What does the author realize from his learning experience? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．It’s never too late to learn. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Faith can move mountains. 27．(2.5分)What did the author’s kids both gain from abacus learning? A．Interest in abacus. B．Working skills. C．Secrets to success. D．Self-confidence. （本题10分）When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking. In the study, researchers divided 150 subjects into three groups. The audiovisual (视听的) group watched a 22-minute video that showed artworks while providing verbal (口头的) explanations. The visual-only group watched a 9-minute video with only simple visual descriptions and no spoken explanation. The control group received no training at all. After the training, all subjects were asked to rate a series of artworks — some they had seen during training and some completely new. The results were striking. Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. They felt they truly “got” the art, and the experience inspired new ideas. Even more interestingly, the benefits of training went beyond the specific artworks studied — a situation known as the generalisation effect, which refers to the spread of learned knowledge to new but related items. When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style. “These findings highlight how art knowledge training can promote art understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation,” the researchers wrote. They argue that schools should take note: art education is not just about producing future artists. It is a tool for developing creative thinking that benefits all students, despite their different career paths. In an age when many schools are cutting arts spending, this study offers a powerful reminder. Learning about art is an investment (投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world. 28．(2.5分)Why was Van Gogh’s Starry Night mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To question a common belief. B．To introduce the topic of the text. C．To compare two ways of appreciating art. D．To highlight the beauty of masterpieces. 29．(2.5分)What did the audiovisual training bring to subjects? A．Greater interest in art history. B．Stronger preference for familiar artworks. C．Higher ratings on creativity. D．Better ability to judge painting techniques. 30．(2.5分)What does the study say about the generalisation effect? A．It applies to all artworks equally. B．It requires long-term art training. C．It is limited to the specific artworks. D．It works for new paintings by the same artist. 31．(2.5分)Why does the author stress art education? A．It improves students’ way of thinking. B．It trains more professional artists. C．It enriches students’ culture knowledge. D．It helps students get fixed jobs. （本题10分）During World War II, people on some Pacific islands saw Allied airplanes land carrying food and tools called “cargo”. After the war ended and the planes stopped coming, some islanders created practices to try to bring them back. They built fake runways out of dirt, made wooden control towers, and wore coconut headphones, copying what soldiers did. They believed that if they copied these actions, the cargo planes would return. But the planes never came. In 1974, physicist Richard Feynman used this story to describe a problem in science, calling it “cargo cult science”. According to Feynman, cargo cult science refers to practices that follow all the outward appearances and rigorous forms of scientific investigation — such as using precise statistics, writing formatted papers, and conducting experiments — but lack the essential core of scientific integrity. This missing core is a specific type of absolute honesty: a willingness to actively prove oneself wrong, publish failed results, and expose every potential flaw in one’s own theory. Without this deep intellectual honesty, all the complex technical machinery of research is just a meaningless performance, unable to produce true discovery. Today, education experts say many students show a similar pattern, called “cargo cult learning”. Students may spend long hours highlighting books, working in stylish coffee shops, and using apps to track study time. They copy the visible habits of good students, creating the feeling of hard work. But these surface actions often hide weak real thinking. Simply making neat notes or doing many practice problems without deep thinking or learning from mistakes leads to little progress. They often feel productive, but the learning is shallow and quickly forgotten over time. The main lesson is that success does not come from copying the outside forms of work True learning needs real understanding, which includes facing confusion, questioning ideas, and seeking clear understanding instead of only appearance. Real growth requires embracing difficulty, learning from errors, and focusing on understanding rather than performance or appearance itself fully. 32．(2.5分)Why did the islanders imitate what Allied soldiers had done?

The lively chatter of students around him only fueled his loneliness. Every day, he walked through the hallways feeling invisible and trapped in uncertainty. To escape this loneliness, Charlie turned to video games, where he became a hero battling monsters and saving kingdoms. In this digital world, he felt powerful and important, unlike his quiet life at school. Ms. Rita, his literature teacher, noticed the quiet boy at the back of the classroom, often lost in his thoughts. She had a gift for connecting with her students, always offering kind words or warm smiles. Although she encouraged Charlie to share his feelings, he hid his struggles, preferring the company of imaginary friends in his games, where he found the appreciation that was missing in his real life. Recently, Charlie became hooked on a new game. One Sunday evening, he immersed himself in its colorful world, ignoring his mother’s reminders to sleep. Excited by his adventures, he remained awake, thinking about strategies, which left him anxious and tired for school. The next day, unable to resist the temptation, Charlie secretly packed his gaming machine in his backpack. In Ms. Rita’s class, his heart raced, not from the lesson on poetry, but from the thought of playing during breaks. While other students engaged in discussions about finding something valuable in life, Charlie’s mind was focused on the game hidden in his bag. When the discussion opened up, he took the chance to peek at his gaming machine. As he powered it on, the screen flashed with new quests, and he lost track of his surroundings. Unfortunately, just as he was concentrating, the gaming machine slipped from his hands and crashed to the floor with a loud sound. Silence enveloped the classroom, and all eyes turned towards him, the weight of anxiety and tension heavy in the air. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 However, Ms. Rita picked up the fallen gaming machine with her usual warm smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Grateful while guilty, Charlie approached Ms. Rita’s office after school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
