It is famous worldwide for its outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings (from the Middle Ages to the Modern period). Its painting collections from the 14th-century and Renaissance period include some absolute masterpieces: Giotto, Simone Martini, Correggio, Leonardo, Raffaele, Michelangelo and Caravaggio. Moreover, the Gallery houses invaluable ancient statues collected by the Medici family, which decorate the corridors (过道). Timetable · Opening hours: From Tuesday to Sunday, 8:15 am to 6:30 pm · Closed on: Mondays, 1 January, 25 December · Notes: The ticket office closes at 5:30 pm. At 6:30 pm visitors will be asked to make their way to the exit.

B 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍乌菲兹美术馆的藏品、开放时间、票价规定与讲解设备要求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is famous worldwide for its outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings (from the Middle Ages to the Modern period).(它以其杰出的古代雕塑和绘画收藏而闻名于世，藏品涵盖中世纪到现代时期)”可知，乌菲兹美术馆收藏的雕塑与绘画跨越中世纪到现代等多个时期，即它收藏了不同时期的艺术作品。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tickets中“Regular: 25€ Single named ticket purchased on the day of entry(常规票：25欧元 在参观当日购买的实名单人票)”以及“Regular: 29€ Single named ticket purchased prior to the date of entry(常规票：29欧元 在参观日期之前购买的实名单人票)”和“Reduced: 2€ EU citizens aged 18 up to their 25th birthday only(优惠票：2欧元 仅限18岁至25岁生日前的欧盟公民)”以及“Free admission: 0€ Children under 18 years, of any nationality(免费入场：0欧元 18岁以下儿童，不限国籍)”可知，优惠票仅面向欧盟公民，免费票仅面向18岁以下儿童，而一名20岁的中国游客既非欧盟公民又已超过18岁，不能享受优惠或免费，只能购买常规票；又因题目问的是当日票，即在参观当日购买，应对应25欧元这一档。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Guide Audio Equipment Rule中“Tour guides and accompanying staff providing commentary during visits must use whisper audio (音频的) systems for all groups larger than six people.(导游和陪同人员在参观期间提供讲解时，必须为所有超过六人的团体使用轻声讲解音频系统)”可知，一个八人的带讲解团人数超过六人，按规定导游和陪同人员必须使用轻声音频系统，即包括麦克风和耳机在内的耳语讲解设备。 B Last week, I emerged from the Tube in central London for a day that would once have been unthinkable. First, I bought a morning coffee. Then I went out for a box of sushi. A few hours later, I dropped into a mini-supermarket to buy some tea bags. Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life. Looking back, I find it hard to remember the last time I bought anything entirely from a person. The business logic is obvious: screens reduce staff costs, shorten waiting lines, and encourage more purchases through appealing food photos and non-judgmental ordering. I believe that customers often prefer the ease and speed of touchscreens and that not all human interactions are enjoyable. Yet, I still prefer a world with more time-consuming people than machines. It’s not just because machines often fail, but because finding a human can be exciting. That’s why I was surprised during a recent trip to Brazil, where I found so many staff in a local supermarket — at checkouts, in aisles, upstairs — that I took photos to show people back home. Two men even helped me decide which umbrella suited me best. That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers (零售商) are boosting such human interaction. The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower “chat checkout” for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores, especially in places where loneliness was a big problem. Earlier this year, an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers. I find this easy to imagine. Technology can lead us down many paths, but that does not mean all should be taken. 4. What is a feature of the author’s shopping habit in London? A. Interacting with store staff. B. Placing orders on the phone. C. Using self-service machines. D. Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 5. Which word best describes the author’s shopping experience in Brazil? A. Pleasing. B. Annoying. C. Disappointing. D. Amusing. 6. Why did Jumbo introduce “chat checkout”? A. To expand its business. B. To simplify the checkout process. C. To help its employees fight loneliness. D. To encourage interpersonal communication. 7. What message does the author deliver in the text? A. The best is yet to come. B. Convenience comes at a cost. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者在伦敦自助购物的经历，表达科技便利的同时，人际交流不可或缺。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life.(每一次，我都没有和任何人接触。取而代之的是，我通过如今遍布我们生活的触摸屏下单并支付所有东西。)”可知，作者在伦敦购物使用自助设备。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers are boosting such human interaction.(这段新奇的经历让我备受鼓舞，所以当得知一些欧洲零售商正在促进这类人际互动时，我并不感到意外。)”可知，巴西的购物经历令人愉悦。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower “chat checkout” for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores, especially in places where loneliness was a big problem.(荷兰连锁超市Jumbo推出更慢的“聊天收银台”，让顾客可以和收银员交谈，并推广到约200家门店，尤其是在孤独问题突出的地区。)”可知，该举措是为鼓励人际交流。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及最后一段“Earlier this year, an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers. I find this easy to imagine. Technology can lead us down many paths, but that does not mean all should be taken.(今年早些时候，一位专家注意到：软件工程师在求助人工智能而非同事时，会感到孤独。我对此不难想象。科技可以引领我们走向许多不同的道路，但这并不意味着所有道路都该去走)”可知，作者认为自助设备带来便利，但也缺失人与人之间的交流，这种便利是有代价的。“Convenience comes at a cost.(便利是有代价的)”符合题意。 C Recently, OpenAI launched free AI image generation on ChatGPT. The Internet is now flooded with AI pictures imitating the styles of Miyazaki Hayao and other famous artists. Yet AI-generated artworks feel strangely empty to audiences. It is not simply that AI lacks originality; after all, so too does most human art. The work produced by machines is, in an important sense, a body without soul. There is no self within the machine, and so there can be no connection or community with the other at the level of being. Art is a unique human pursuit for everyone. It is more than a beautiful combination of colors, forms, sounds and words. As Hegel puts it, art is a sensitive expression of an idea. It is a spiritual and cultural activity. Its beauty lies in how it affects us — whether it makes us think, feel another’s pain, brings hope, or uplifts spirits. When humans create art, they pour indescribable inner feelings and personal life experiences into their works. As a process, art includes all activities and efforts which express human mentality, perceived through our senses. This special human touch allows viewers to project their own emotions onto artworks and spiritually communicate with creators beyond the limits of language. The permanent value of art comes from the unique inner traces, feelings and life perspectives of individual creators. Art creation is essentially emotional transference. Creators convey inner true feelings, while audiences are able to understand them and find reflections of their own hidden fears and desires in works. Art bridges the inner gaps between audiences and creators with a shared language. Machine-generated art loses its most vital power — the ability to connect people. This loss is especially harmful in an increasingly lonely world. The disappearance of such artistic connection damages personal relationships and undermines social and political stability. Our society relies on these emotional bonds. We recognize fundamental shared humanity despite our differences. 8. Why do AI-generated artworks feel empty to audience? A. They are short of originality. B. They fail to convey messages. C. They lack a genuine connection. D. They imitate other artists’ styles. 9. What does the true beauty of art lie in? A. The power to touch the human souls. B. The combination of colors and words. C. The reflection of artists’ experiences. D. The description of human activities. 10. How does art bridge the inner gaps between human beings? A. It creates special visual effects. B. Viewers personally talk with artists. C. It relieves viewers’ hidden fears. D. Viewers have empathy with artists. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the wave of AI-generated art? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是AI生成的艺术品让人觉得空洞。真正的艺术承载着创作者的情感与人生体验，可以实现创作者和观众之间的精神沟通。AI艺术缺少这种人与人之间的情感联结，会对人际关系与社会情感纽带造成损害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The work produced by machines is, in an important sense, a body without soul. There is no self within the machine, and so there can be no connection or community with the other at the level of being.(从一个重要层面来讲，机器产出的作品只是一具没有灵魂的躯壳。机器没有自我意识，因此无法在存在的层面与他人建立联结、产生精神共鸣。)”可知，AI生成的艺术品让观众感到空洞是因为它们缺少真实的情感联结。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Its beauty lies in how it affects us — whether it makes us think, feel another’s pain, brings hope, or uplifts spirits.(艺术之美在于它对我们产生的影响 —— 能否引发思考、让人感知他人的痛苦、带来希望，或是振奋人心。)”及第四段“Art creation is essentially emotional transference.(艺术创作本质上是一种情感的转移。)”可知，艺术真正的美体现在触动人类灵魂的力量。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This special human touch allows viewers to project their own emotions onto artworks and spiritually communicate with creators beyond the limits of language.(这种独特的人文温度，能让观者将自身情感投射到作品之上，跨越语言的局限，和创作者进行精神交流。)”和“Creators convey inner true feelings, while audiences are able to understand them and find reflections of their own hidden fears and desires in works. Art bridges the inner gaps between audiences and creators with a shared language.(创作者表达内心真实的感受，而观众能够理解这些情感，并在作品中看到自己潜藏的恐惧与渴望。艺术借助共通的语言，弥合观众与创作者内心的隔阂。)”可知，艺术使观众能够产生共情，与艺术家产生情感联结，以此来消除隔阂。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Machine-generated art loses its most vital power — the ability to connect people. This loss is especially harmful in an increasingly lonely world. The disappearance of such artistic connection damages personal relationships and undermines social and political stability.(机器生成的艺术丧失了它最重要的力量 —— 连接人与人的能力。在这个愈发孤独的世界里，这种缺失尤其具有危害性。这种艺术层面精神联结的消失，会破坏人际关系，动摇社会与政治稳定。)”可知，作者指出 AI 艺术失去最重要的力量，这种缺失有害，会破坏人际关系、动摇社会稳定，因此作者对此表示担忧。 D You finish a meal, feel completely full, and then someone opens a box of dessert. A moment ago, your body seemed finished with food. Now, suddenly, dessert sounds possible. We usually think of hunger as the only thing that drives eating. In one sense, that’s true. But modern life surrounds us with something that biology did not quite prepare us for: a constant stream of food cues — packaging, bakery windows, delivery photos… A recent study in Appetite studied why we may not be able to avoid overeating when faced with these food cues. For the study, 90 university students rated their current hunger and the desirability of eleven foods and on this basis two foods of equal rating were selected. Halfway through the experiment, they were fed one of the two foods until they no longer wanted more of it. After the meal, participants rated once again and as a result, they rated the food they ate as less desirable and the food showed “devaluation”. So far, this sounds like common sense: If you eat enough potato chips, the chips should become less tempting. If you eat enough brownies, brownies should lose some of their magic. The study confirmed that people themselves reported experiencing this. However, when researchers recorded students’ reward positivity signal in their brain, the results told a different story. The early brain signal did not shrink when participants saw images of the food they had just stuffed themselves with. The mind can “know” that a food is no longer worth pursuing, but a fast and automatic part of the brain still reacts to its cue as though it carries reward. This study helps explain one of the most frustrating aspects of eating. Overeating is not always a simple failure of willpower. It may begin earlier than that, in the split second when a food cue grabs the brain before deliberate control has had time to catch up. This suggests that self-control may not begin by erasing temptation (诱惑), but by overriding it. The first wave of evaluation may still arrive, but later processes can still step in and say no. Seen this way, self-control is not the absence of desire. It is the ability to outlast a signal that the brain continues to generate. 12. What is the modern challenge of eating? A. Wide availability of food. B. Intense biological hunger. C. Mounting emotional pressure. D. Frequent exposure to food signals. 13. What does the underlined word “devaluation” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A drop in its market price. B. A growing attraction to people. C. A decline in its original appeal. D. A reduction in its daily supply. 14. What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To question the study’s findings. B. To introduce a new food experiment. C. To explain the reason behind hunger. D. To reveal the mind-brain contradiction. 15. What can we learn about self-control from the last paragraph? A. It results from the first food evaluation. B. It develops through repeated practice. C. It involves acting against lasting urges. D. It requires getting rid of desire for food. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了现代环境中频繁的食物线索会触发大脑自动奖赏信号，导致人们难以抗拒诱惑而过度进食，说明自控是抑制而非消除欲望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But modern life surrounds us with something that biology did not quite prepare us for: a constant stream of food cues — packaging, bakery windows, delivery photos… (但现代生活中充斥着人类生理机制尚未完全适应的事物：源源不断的食物线索——包装、面包店橱窗、外卖照片……)”可知，现代饮食的挑战是频繁接触食物信号。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“After the meal, participants rated once again and as a result, they rated the food they ate as less desirable and the food showed “devaluation”. So far, this sounds like common sense: If you eat enough potato chips, the chips should become less tempting. If you eat enough brownies, brownies should lose some of their magic. (饭后，参与者再次评分，结果，他们认为他们吃的食物没那么有吸引力，食物显示出devaluation。到目前为止，这听起来像是常识：如果你吃了足够的薯片，薯片应该会变得不那么诱人。如果你吃了足够的布朗尼，布朗尼应该会失去一些魔力。)”可知，devaluation指的是食物变得不那么诱人，食物原有吸引力的下降。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, when researchers recorded students’ reward positivity signal in their brain, the results told a different story. The early brain signal did not shrink when participants saw images of the food they had just stuffed themselves with. The mind can “know” that a food is no longer worth pursuing, but a fast and automatic part of the brain still reacts to its cue as though it carries reward. (然而，当研究人员记录学生大脑中的奖励积极信号时，结果却有所不同。当参与者看到他们刚刚塞满自己的食物的图像时，早期的大脑信号并没有缩小。大脑可以“知道”一种食物不再值得追求，但大脑的一个快速而自动的部分仍然会对它的提示做出反应，就像它带来了奖励一样。)”可知，第三段旨在揭示大脑自动反应与主观认知之间的矛盾。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This suggests that self-control may not begin by erasing temptation (诱惑), but by overriding it. The first wave of evaluation may still arrive, but later processes can still step in and say no. Seen this way, self-control is not the absence of desire. It is the ability to outlast a signal that the brain continues to generate. (这表明，自控可能不是从消除诱惑开始，而是通过克服诱惑来实现。第一波评价可能仍会到来，但稍后的过程仍能介入并说“不”。这样看来，自控不是没有欲望。它是超越大脑持续产生的信号的能力。)”可知，自控涉及在持久的冲动面前采取行动予以抵制。 第二节：(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 More than 30% of Gen Alpha children long to become social media creators, with around 32% of 12-15-year-olds naming “YouTuber” as their dream job. ____16____ This is where parental involvement becomes not just helpful, but vital, turning the risks into valuable teachable moments. To that end, parents should communicate with kids in a curious and open manner rather than being critical. When children express the desire to be online influencers, parents should avoid shutting down their enthusiasm. ____17____ For example, they can ask why their children want to create online content and what they plan to post. By showing respect for their kids’ interests, parents build trust and naturally introduce safety topics like privacy settings and online boundaries. Beyond that, parents should help children develop safe digital habits. They can set up accounts together to adjust privacy settings, turn off location tagging, and set strong passwords. Meanwhile, children must be taught not to share private details such as home addresses, school names and daily schedules. ____18____ Warning children against hidden online dangers is equally necessary. As would-be young influencers start gaining visibility, they may be targeted by scams that aim to steal personal data. ____19____ They also need to recognize ill-intentioned strangers and dangerous behavior, such as frequent personal messages, requests for secrecy, or pressure to share private photos. Actually, children’s wish to create online content is a way to express their identity and creativity. ____20____ With proper parental guidance, young creators can build their voice without compromising their safety. A. These measures can effectively minimize online risks. B. However, this pursuit comes with potential risks. C. Teenagers tend to spend much time watching online videos. D. Parents should fully understand teenagers’ craze for online creation. E. Kids should learn to identify suspicious links, fake offers, and other traps. F. Instead, they need genuine conversations to learn about their children’s ideas. G. Parents can support it through open dialogue, practical habits, and risk awareness. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. E 20.

But my thoughts kept wandering back to my hometown in Peru (秘鲁) where blueberry bushes carpeted the hills, a sea of blue drawing tourists to take pictures. Memories came to my mind: Little me, barefoot, ran among bushes watching neighbors gather berries in harvest seasons. One sleepless night, I picked up an old poetry book and found Frost’s lines: “I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.” These words cut straight to my heart. Early the next morning, I refused all offers and headed home. My parents wrapped me in warm hugs at the door. We chatted happily over dinner as I told them my plan to run a blueberry business. Dad frowned (皱眉), “Blueberries are nothing rare. It might be hard to make money,” he sighed. Mom had the same concern, but seeing my determined look, she nudged (用胳膊肘轻推) Dad. They agreed to let me try. I spent days busy in Mom’s kitchen. With her old recipe, I kept adjusting the flavors until I finally made jam and blueberry snacks that carried the familiar taste of my childhood. Full of hope, I set up a tiny stall (摊位) at the local market the following weekend. Yet reality hit hard. In the burning sun, people walked by without a look. By sunset, I’d only sold three jars, tired and discouraged. Just then my elderly neighbor Evo came over and said, “Young man, use what you have learned in college.” His words woke me up. I should sell the joy, not just fruit. Maybe our family’s blueberry field was the very place to try my idea. 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: I hurried back to tell my parents the big plan. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tourists were flooding into my blueberry You-Pick farm. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I hurried back to tell my parents the big plan. I explained that I would transform our ordinary blueberry field into a recreational You-Pick farm, combining picking experience with snack sales. Fortunately, my parents fully supported my creative idea. We worked together to tidy up the field, set up resting areas and decorate the farm. I also posted beautiful pictures of blueberry hills online to attract visitors, hoping to bring tourists unique countryside joy. Tourists were flooding into my blueberry You-Pick farm. They wandered in the blueberry bushes, picking fresh fruits and taking beautiful photos. Many tourists were attracted by my homemade blueberry snacks and bought them as gifts. My business finally got on the right track. I truly understood that success never comes from sticking to old ways. It is bravery to choose the less traveled road and flexible innovation that bring me huge rewards and a sense of achievement. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物经历为线索展开，讲述了主人公商学院毕业后，放弃多个不错的工作机会，回到秘鲁家乡发展蓝莓事业。一开始摆摊售卖蓝莓制品遭遇挫折，在邻居的点拨下，主人公意识到不应只售卖产品，更要传递快乐，由此萌生打造蓝莓采摘农场的新想法。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写主人公向父母阐述要把自家蓝莓田地改造为休闲采摘农场的构想，得到父母支持，一家人共同整理布置田地，并且在网上宣传农场，吸引游客。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写游客在农场体验采摘、购买蓝莓零食，生意步入正轨，主人公感悟到敢于另辟蹊径、灵活创新才能收获回报与成就感。 2. 续写线索：遭遇挫折→邻居点拨→萌生构想→告知父母→合力筹备→线上宣传→游客到访→生意向好→感悟收获 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 解释：explain/demonstrate ② 把……结合：combine/integrate ③ 坚持：stick to/persist in 情绪类 ① 勇气：bravery/fortitude ② 成就感：a sense of achievement/a feeling of accomplishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】I explained that I would transform our ordinary blueberry field into a recreational You‑Pick farm, combining picking experience with snack sales.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和现在分词短语combining picking experience with snack sales作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】It is bravery to choose the less traveled road and flexible innovation that bring me huge rewards and a sense of achievement.(运用了“It is + 被强调部分 + that…”的强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年无锡市锡东高级中学高三上学期9月英语月考试卷 2026.9 命题人：夏心怡顾秋萍 审题人：吴谊华 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Last week, I emerged from the Tube in central London for a day that would once have been unthinkable. First, I bought a morning coffee. Then I went out for a box of sushi. A few hours later, I dropped into a mini-supermarket to buy some tea bags. Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life. Looking back, I find it hard to remember the last time I bought anything entirely from a person. The business logic is obvious: screens reduce staff costs, shorten waiting lines, and encourage more purchases through appealing food photos and non-judgmental ordering. I believe that customers often prefer the ease and speed of touchscreens and that not all human interactions are enjoyable. Yet, I still prefer a world with more time-consuming people than machines. It’s not just because machines often fail, but because finding a human can be exciting. That’s why I was surprised during a recent trip to Brazil, where I found so many staff in a local supermarket — at checkouts, in aisles, upstairs — that I took photos to show people back home. Two men even helped me decide which umbrella suited me best. That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers (零售商) are boosting such human interaction. The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower “chat checkout” for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores, especially in places where loneliness was a big problem. Earlier this year, an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers. I find this easy to imagine. Technology can lead us down many paths, but that does not mean all should be taken. 4. What is a feature of the author’s shopping habit in London? A. Interacting with store staff. B. Placing orders on the phone. C. Using self-service machines. D. Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 5. Which word best describes the author’s shopping experience in Brazil? A. Pleasing. B. Annoying. C. Disappointing. D. Amusing. 6. Why did Jumbo introduce “chat checkout”? A. To expand its business. B. To simplify the checkout process. C. To help its employees fight loneliness. D. To encourage interpersonal communication. 7. What message does the author deliver in the text? A. The best is yet to come. B. Convenience comes at a cost. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. C Recently, OpenAI launched free AI image generation on ChatGPT. The Internet is now flooded with AI pictures imitating the styles of Miyazaki Hayao and other famous artists. Yet AI-generated artworks feel strangely empty to audiences. It is not simply that AI lacks originality; after all, so too does most human art. The work produced by machines is, in an important sense, a body without soul. There is no self within the machine, and so there can be no connection or community with the other at the level of being. Art is a unique human pursuit for everyone. It is more than a beautiful combination of colors, forms, sounds and words. As Hegel puts it, art is a sensitive expression of an idea. It is a spiritual and cultural activity. Its beauty lies in how it affects us — whether it makes us think, feel another’s pain, brings hope, or uplifts spirits. When humans create art, they pour indescribable inner feelings and personal life experiences into their works. As a process, art includes all activities and efforts which express human mentality, perceived through our senses. This special human touch allows viewers to project their own emotions onto artworks and spiritually communicate with creators beyond the limits of language. The permanent value of art comes from the unique inner traces, feelings and life perspectives of individual creators. Art creation is essentially emotional transference. Creators convey inner true feelings, while audiences are able to understand them and find reflections of their own hidden fears and desires in works. Art bridges the inner gaps between audiences and creators with a shared language. Machine-generated art loses its most vital power — the ability to connect people. This loss is especially harmful in an increasingly lonely world. The disappearance of such artistic connection damages personal relationships and undermines social and political stability. Our society relies on these emotional bonds. We recognize fundamental shared humanity despite our differences. 8. Why do AI-generated artworks feel empty to audience? A. They are short of originality. B. They fail to convey messages. C. They lack a genuine connection. D. They imitate other artists’ styles. 9. What does the true beauty of art lie in? A. The power to touch the human souls. B. The combination of colors and words. C. The reflection of artists’ experiences. D. The description of human activities. 10. How does art bridge the inner gaps between human beings? A. It creates special visual effects. B. Viewers personally talk with artists. C. It relieves viewers’ hidden fears. D. Viewers have empathy with artists. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the wave of AI-generated art? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain. D You finish a meal, feel completely full, and then someone opens a box of dessert. A moment ago, your body seemed finished with food. Now, suddenly, dessert sounds possible. We usually think of hunger as the only thing that drives eating. In one sense, that’s true. But modern life surrounds us with something that biology did not quite prepare us for: a constant stream of food cues — packaging, bakery windows, delivery photos… A recent study in Appetite studied why we may not be able to avoid overeating when faced with these food cues. For the study, 90 university students rated their current hunger and the desirability of eleven foods and on this basis two foods of equal rating were selected. Halfway through the experiment, they were fed one of the two foods until they no longer wanted more of it. After the meal, participants rated once again and as a result, they rated the food they ate as less desirable and the food showed “devaluation”. So far, this sounds like common sense: If you eat enough potato chips, the chips should become less tempting. If you eat enough brownies, brownies should lose some of their magic. The study confirmed that people themselves reported experiencing this. However, when researchers recorded students’ reward positivity signal in their brain, the results told a different story. The early brain signal did not shrink when participants saw images of the food they had just stuffed themselves with. The mind can “know” that a food is no longer worth pursuing, but a fast and automatic part of the brain still reacts to its cue as though it carries reward. This study helps explain one of the most frustrating aspects of eating. Overeating is not always a simple failure of willpower. It may begin earlier than that, in the split second when a food cue grabs the brain before deliberate control has had time to catch up. This suggests that self-control may not begin by erasing temptation (诱惑), but by overriding it. The first wave of evaluation may still arrive, but later processes can still step in and say no. Seen this way, self-control is not the absence of desire. It is the ability to outlast a signal that the brain continues to generate. 12. What is the modern challenge of eating? A. Wide availability of food. B. Intense biological hunger. C. Mounting emotional pressure. D. Frequent exposure to food signals. 13. What does the underlined word “devaluation” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A drop in its market price. B. A growing attraction to people. C. A decline in its original appeal. D. A reduction in its daily supply. 14. What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A.

But my thoughts kept wandering back to my hometown in Peru (秘鲁) where blueberry bushes carpeted the hills, a sea of blue drawing tourists to take pictures. Memories came to my mind: Little me, barefoot, ran among bushes watching neighbors gather berries in harvest seasons. One sleepless night, I picked up an old poetry book and found Frost’s lines: “I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.” These words cut straight to my heart. Early the next morning, I refused all offers and headed home. My parents wrapped me in warm hugs at the door. We chatted happily over dinner as I told them my plan to run a blueberry business. Dad frowned (皱眉), “Blueberries are nothing rare. It might be hard to make money,” he sighed. Mom had the same concern, but seeing my determined look, she nudged (用胳膊肘轻推) Dad. They agreed to let me try. I spent days busy in Mom’s kitchen. With her old recipe, I kept adjusting the flavors until I finally made jam and blueberry snacks that carried the familiar taste of my childhood. Full of hope, I set up a tiny stall (摊位) at the local market the following weekend. Yet reality hit hard. In the burning sun, people walked by without a look. By sunset, I’d only sold three jars, tired and discouraged. Just then my elderly neighbor Evo came over and said, “Young man, use what you have learned in college.” His words woke me up. I should sell the joy, not just fruit. Maybe our family’s blueberry field was the very place to try my idea. 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: I hurried back to tell my parents the big plan. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tourists were flooding into my blueberry You-Pick farm. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
