Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures. The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too. (　)1.What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning? A.His interest in insects. B.His desire to make a name. C.His dream of setting a record. D.His awareness of wildlife protection. (　)2.Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process? A.Eventful and enjoyable. B.Complex and frustrating. C.Money-wasting but entertaining. D.Time-consuming but fulfilling. (　)3.How does the author deal with his autism now? A.He receives medical treatment. B.He takes full advantage of it. C.He regards it as the source of failure. D.He shares it and asks help from others. (　)4.What message does the author mainly convey through the text? A.Great art comes at a cost of loss. B.Childhood experiences make a career. C.Minor things in life can carry weight. D.Courage contributes to great achievements. B [2025·四川内江高二期中] I’m a huge music fan. Jazz is one of my favourite music genres and Keith Jarrett is one of the most influential piano players of the last 50 years. I love live jazz, because it’s one of the few music genres where you can hear talented artists stretch past the point of their own expectations. A story I heard the other day—about Keith Jarrett’s legendary album, The Kln Concert—tells of the time when he was on tour back in Europe and went to play a sold-out concert. He showed up at the concert to find that that young concert promoter had rented a small, out-of-tune piano that had sticky keys and pedals that didn’t work. Keith refused to play a concert initially and only after hours of convincing did he agree to perform on the piano. Keith would later describe the Kln concert as one of the most challenging performances of his career. All of these adversities and frustrations helped Keith create music that no one had ever heard before, not even himself. Reflecting back on this concert, Keith typically says that the amazing quality of the music came from not having the core elements of his preparation. But he also talks about the fact that being out of his element and facing challenges that he had never seen before forced him to recognize the potential of the situation and trust in himself. That unique dilemmatic crossroads created the Kln concert. We rarely unlock our true potential unless we are challenged with some obstacles or are forced to overcome what seems impossible. The legendary Kln concert is the result of a unique learning process that showed Keith the value of his unlocked potential. My hope is that everyone can realize their potential and be the next pearl. (　)5.Why is the author fond of live jazz? A.It is the best music genre. B.It has a major influence on him. C.It allows artists to exceed their expectations. D.It makes the author meet talented artists. (　)6.What challenge did Keith Jarrett have at the Kln concert? A.He was in poor condition. B.The piano was of poor quality. C.The concert promoter refused to work. D.He forgot to rent a piano that day. (　)7.How did Keith Jarrett view the Kln concert? A.It was the most challenging concert in his career. B.It inspired him to discover his potential. C.It reminded him to prepare better pianos. D.It made him realize his shortcomings. (　)8.What lesson does the author want to convey? A.Failure is the mother of success. B.Genius is nothing but diligence. C.Frustration reveals one’s potential. D.A little leak will sink a great ship. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
