Although she had a deep love for art during high school, Onyeiwu had to put aside her artistic pursuits to focus on academic courses, believing they would contribute to her college applications. After entering the university, the prospect of reconnecting with her creative side proved irresistible. “When I first placed my hands on the clay at the potter’s wheel, chaos erupted,” Onyeiwu recounted to an audience at Sanders Theatre. “Slip (泥浆) splattered everywhere, coating my arms and hands. But gradually, I found my rhythm and regained control. In that moment, I danced with the clay—guiding it, yet recognizing its energy, as it spun and turned in a continuous, appealing motion.” Now a joint concentrator in Art, Film & Visual Studies and Social Anthropology, Onyeiwu has spent countless hours refining her skills in the Ceramics Programme through the Office for the Arts (OFA). Her journey is just one of many shared during the OFA’s 50th anniversary celebration this month. Students, administrators, and alumni alike took the stage to share how the arts had shaped their experiences at Harvard. “The OFA is an idea and a promise,” said Fiona Coffey, director of the OFA.“It stands as a declaration that the arts are not supplementary, but vital to a Harvard education. It proves that knowledge and learning are developed not only in traditional academic classrooms but also in art studios, music rehearsal rooms, and on stages.” President Alan Garber spoke about how his childhood interest in photography expanded to a love for films after he got a job working at a movie theatre in high school while saving up to buy a camera. “Art has a unique way of opening doors for all of us,” Garber said. “Once that door is open, it tends to widen, enabling us to embrace a broader range of creative expressions and diverse artists. Each encounter with art transforms how we see and appreciate the world—and how we see and appreciate one another.” (　)1.What was Onyeiwu’s life in high school like? A.She had no access to art facilities. B.She prioritized academic achievements. C.She lacked interest in dynamic activities. D.She went through ups and downs in artistic pursuits. (　)2.What can be inferred from Onyeiwu’s experience with clay? A.Ceramics is an art form easy to master. B.She was good at handling clay from the start. C.The clay-making process acts as a source of energy. D.Creativity often involves an initial struggle before getting control. (　)3.What does Coffey say about the OFA? A.It values performances over academic learning. B.It focuses on supporting traditional academic disciplines. C.It aims to combine traditional classrooms with art studios. D.It emphasizes the importance of arts as a core part of education. (　)4.What does Garber’s story about photography illustrate? A.Art can change a person’s career path. B.Photography is the foundation for an interest in art. C.Art is capable of expanding one’s perspective and appreciation. D.High school jobs are crucial for discovering one’s artistic potential. ●Ⅴ 阅读七选五 (每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) [2025·山东临沂高二期中] You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions. Typical journaling involves only writing. 1.　　　　 And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.  The focus on self-expression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook. A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting. 2.　　　  Art journaling is a way to practise self-care. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself—even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you’ve written or drawn, you can gain valuable insights into the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece. 3.　　　　 Remember, it’s just for you!  Art journaling is completely customizable (可定制的) depending on your skills and interests. Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. 4.　　　　 The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book.  5.　　　　 Size is one; if you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best. Art journals look great when you fill the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the way you like to work. Another factor to think about is the type of pages in the book. Since it’s a good chance you’ll be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting.  A.Also, you become aware of your style. B.This way, you’ll save not only your money, but also your nerves. C.But it doesn’t have to include imagery that relates to your inner thoughts. D.Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they’re comfortable with. E.There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book. F.But for those who are more visually-minded, an art journal is a great alternative. G.You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying about whether it looks good. ●Ⅵ 语法填空 (每小题1.5分,满分15分) A Stone Age bird sculpture 1.　　　　　 (discover) in China could be a “missing link” in our understanding of prehistoric art. 2.　　　 (date) back almost 13,500 years, the sculpture is now the oldest known example of three-dimensional art in East Asia.  Described 3.　　　　　　 being in “an exceptional state of preservation”, the sculpture was found at an archeological site in Lingjing, Henan Province.

But gradually, I found my rhythm and regained control. In that moment, I danced with the clay—guiding it, yet recognizing its energy, as it spun and turned in a continuous, appealing motion.”可知,一开始场面很混乱,但最终她控制了局面并享受了创作过程。由此推断,创造力通常需要经历初期的挣扎才能控制局面。故选D。 3.D　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“‘The OFA is an idea and a promise,’ said Fiona Coffey, director of the OFA.‘It stands as a declaration that the arts are not supplementary, but vital to a Harvard education. It proves that knowledge and learning are developed not only in traditional academic classrooms but also in art studios, music rehearsal rooms, and on stages.’”可知,在Coffey看来,OFA不仅是一个机构,更是一种理念和承诺,强调艺术不是辅助性的,而是哈佛教育中不可或缺的一部分。故选D。 4.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Art has a unique way of opening doors for all of us,’ Garber said. ‘Once that door is open, it tends to widen, enabling us to embrace a broader range of creative expressions and diverse artists. Each encounter with art transforms how we see and appreciate the world—and how we see and appreciate one another.’”可知,Garber提到,艺术以独特的方式为人们打开大门,一旦这扇门打开,它就会拓宽,让人们拥抱更多的创意表达和多样化的艺术家。这表明艺术能够扩展一个人的视野和鉴赏力。故选C。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何将绘画和写作相结合,创造出独具个人特色的艺术日记。 1.F　前文“Typical journaling involves only writing.”说明了传统日记的局限性;由下文“And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.”可知,这里应引出艺术日记,F项(但对于那些更注重视觉的人来说,艺术日记是一个很好的选择。)进行转折,引出艺术日记的优势。故选F项。 2.C　前一句“A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting.”是对本段首句“The focus on self-expression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook.”说明的不同之处的具体的解释说明。C项(但它不一定包含与你内心想法相关的意象。)中的it doesn’t have to include呼应本段第一句中的an art journal differs from a sketchbook,说明了素描本和艺术日记的不同之处;C项中的inner thoughts 呼应本段第一句中的self-expression。故选C项。 3.G　设空处是对上一句“The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece.”的补充说明。G项(你只需要享受创造东西的行为,而不必担心它是否好看。)表示艺术日记是为了自我的创作享受,不是为了杰出的作品。故选G项。 4.D　由上一句“Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials.”可知,空处与上一句是并列关系。D项(其他人更喜欢坚持使用他们感到舒适的单一媒介。)中的others和上一句中的many people并列;D项中的a single medium 与上一句中的mixed media呼应,设空处和上一句具体说明了艺术日记可根据个人技艺和喜好量身定制。故选D项。 5.E　由下文“Size is one; if you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best. Art journals look great when you fill the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the way you like to work. Another factor to think about is the type of pages in the book. Since it’s a good chance you’ll be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting.”可知,这里主要讲选择艺术日记本需要考虑的因素。E项(在挑选日记本时,有很多考虑因素。)符合语境,有总括作用,其中picking和本段最后一句中的select构成了近义词复现。故选E项。 Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一件在中国发现的石器时代鸟形雕塑,这可能是理解史前艺术的“缺失环节”。 1.discovered　考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词could be,根据句意及句子主语a Stone Age bird sculpture可知,空处应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语a Stone Age bird sculpture构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填discovered。 2.Dating　考查非谓语动词。句子已有谓语动词is,date在句中应用非谓语动词形式,date back意为“追溯到”,与逻辑主语the sculpture构成主动关系,故用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Dating。 3.as　考查介词。结合句意“被描述为”可知,此处为短语be described as。故填as。 4.where　考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词marks,从句中缺少地点状语,表示“在标记处”,用连接副词where引导。故填where。 5.to prevent　考查非谓语动词。be made to do sth为固定用法,故此处应用不定式形式作目的状语。故填to prevent。 6.was laid　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。 此处lay为谓语动词, it(指sculpture)与lay之间为被动关系,且根据语境可知应用一般过去时,it为单数,be动词用was,故填was laid。 7.original　考查形容词。空处修饰后文名词短语artistic tradition,应用形容词original作定语。故填original。 8.technologically　考查副词。空处修饰动词differs,应用副词technologically“技术上地”,与后文的stylistically构成并列结构,作状语。故填technologically。 9.and　考查连词。空处前后两个句子之间存在逻辑上的并列关系,它们都是对这个鸟形雕塑特性的描述,应用连词and来连接两个并列的句子。故填and。 10.findings　考查名词复数。根据空前other archeological可知,空处表示“多个发现”,应用finding的复数形式。故填findings。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
