Exhibitions to Visit: Land and Nature
Each month, we bring you a selection of UK exhibitions on similar themes. This month we look at how museums and galleries are drawing attention to Land Art and the way nature impacts on art.
Beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, Land Art invites artists to create, work in the landscape and use natural materials. Originating in America, it later became popular in Britain. Artists like Richard Long and Andy Goldsworthy inspire people to reconsider human-nature relations. Today, many artists draw inspiration from nature to reflect on issues such as pollution, climate change and land use.
Brief introductions
Andy Goldsworthy| Fifty Years is the artist's largest indoor display, with more than 200 works. Goldsworthy is good at using natural materials such as clay, leaves and stones. Visitors can view records of Goldsworthy's50-year creative career in the downstairs galleries.
Millet: Life on the Land is held to mark the 150th anniversary of French artist Jean-François Millet's death. It features his realistic and poetic paintings of countryside workers, such as farmers and shepherds(牧羊人).
After Nature is set against the background of environmental crisis. It brings together artists using natural materials and exploring the complex relationship between art and technology.

A school resource officer turned a failed summer field trip into an unforgettable memory for over 140 poor middle school students in Phoenix.
When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help. Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School's after-school program. He also covered snacks including popcorn, candies and drinks for the private screening of Toy Story 5. For most kids, this was their very first time stepping into a movie theatre.
The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers. Reavie said he would spare more money if needed, for he believed adults must never break promises made to children. Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway.
Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money. year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3.000 taking students to a local water park. Inspired by children's fondness for superheroes. he also founded a charity called Put On The Cape: A Foundation For Hope, aiming to bring warmth to more troubled youngsters.
Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward. He expected nothing material in return, hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come.
24. Why did Jenkins ask Reavie for help?
A. She lost the tickets for the movie trip. B. She lacked money for the planned trip.
C. The snacks prepared were far from enough. D. The ticket prices had risen beyond the budget.
25. Why did the author mention students' family backgrounds in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the backwardness of local education.
B. To explain the expenses a family covered for the trip.
C. To highlight the great value of the experience for kids.
D. To praise Reavie for what he had done for the school.
26. Which of the following can best describe Reavie?
A. Generous and warm-hearted. B. Devoted and patient.
C. Modest and open-minded. D. Independent and reliable.
27. What was Reavie's expectation for the kids?
A. To hold on to their dreams. B. To treasure every moment in life.
C. To seek personal material rewards. D. To pass on kindness to more people.
C
A study conducted in-Austria has revealed that listening to music you dislike might actually increase your desire for sugary foods, even when your overall appetite drops.
The findings, published in Appetite, suggest that disliked music triggers a form of compensatory(补偿的) eating —————— a psychological mechanism where the brain seeks high-reward comfort foods to reduce negative emotions.
The research team, led by Jonas Potthoff and Anne Schienle, divided,106 participants into three groups: one listened to self-selected liked music, another listened to disliked music, and a third experienced silence. Before and after the listening session, participants rated their general desire to eat and their emotional state. They were then presented with a buffet table displaying three high-sugar items, three low-sugar options, and three non-food objects. Using an eye tracker, the researchers recorded visual attention before allowing participants to eat freely.
The results were striking. After listening to disliked music, participants. reported a lower general desire to eat—yet nearly 62% of them chose high-sugar sweets. In contrast, only 24% of those who listened to liked music favored sugary treats, with the majority preferring fruits. The no-music group fell in between, at 38%.
Interestingly, the disliked music did not significantly change visual attention toward food. Participants looked at food items longer than non-food items regardless of the musical condition, suggesting that the preference for sugar was driven by mood regulation rather than visual fixation. Because the unpleasant music undermined their emotional state, their brains in turn reached for comfort food rich in sugar as a coping mechanism-a classic example of emotional eating.
The authors concluded that music can influence food-related decision-making independently of attentional processes. While liked music may encourage healthier choices, disliked music increases the tendency to choose high-sugar foods even when the general appetite is depressed. These findings highlight music's potential as a subtle (微妙的), non-caloric influence for promoting low-sugar eating behavior.
28. Why do people prefer sugary food after hearing unpleasant music?
A. Bad music makes people pay visual attention to sweets.
B. Sugary food can help relieve bad feelings.
C. People's overall appetite grows stronger under negative feelings.^
D. Sweet food can completely remove stress caused by music.
29. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. They surveyed people's music preferences.
B. They compared subjects' food choices across groups.
C. They analyzed different causes of bad moods.
D. They recorded people's brain activity after eating.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “undermined” in paragraph 5?
A. maintained. B. restored. C improved. D. worsened.
31. What can we infer about the effect of music from the text?
A. Pleasant music may help people pick healthier food.
B. A music-free environment leads to the lowest sugar intake.
C. Bad music can totally make people lose interest in food.
D. Your visual preference for food is determined by music.
D
Have you ever witnessed the astonishing beauty of auroras(极光)? They are a gift from the heavens resulting from the interaction between the atmosphere and cosmic radiation(宇宙辐射).
However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation. According to South Korean authorities, the flight attendant flew about1,022 annual hours throughout his career, with half of his flights spent crossing the regions in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation reaches extraordinarily high levels. Cosmic radiation, which comes from the sun and other stars in the galaxy, is constantly hitting Earth. Cosmic radiation can be divided into two types: solar radiation and galactic cosmic radiation. Solar radiation comprises charged particles(带电粒子) sent out by the sun, known as the solar wind, while galactic cosmic radiation comes from the remaining parts of supernovas(超新星).
Despite the continuous and powerful nature of cosmic radiation, we are generally protected from their worst effects. Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere provide protection from this radiation, with the magnetic field being strongest in tropical areas and weakest at the poles. Consequently, individuals living in higher latitudes(纬度), like Heilongjiang province, experience slightly more cosmic radiation than those in lower latitudes, such as Hainan province. Moreover, at higher altitudes, such as when passengers are flying on an airplane, the thinner atmosphere results in more intense exposure to cosmic radiation.
For astronauts and flight attendants on-polar routes, lacking the protection offered by Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere exposes them to potential health risks. According to NASA, astronauts who spend six months in space encounter a radiation exposure roughly equal to undergoing 1,000 chest X-rays.
However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential. Joseph, a particle physicist and his members found the high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors. Scientists can now artificially produce charged particles similar to cosmic radiation. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, charged particles can target tumors more effectively with less harm to the surrounding healthy tissues, according to Joseph
32. What can we know about cosmic radiation from paragraph 2?
A. It may lead to a higher risk of cancer.
B. It is composed of charged particles alone.
C. It generates harmful substances in the atmosphere.
D. It mainly results from the remaining parts of supernovas
33. Who would be exposed to the most cosmic radiation?
A. Passengers flying on an airplane.
B. Residents living in Hainan province.
C. Workers exploring at the poles.
D. Researchers studying in the tropical areas.
34. Which statement does Joseph probably agree with?
A. Cosmic radiation can confirm the tumor types.
B. Cosmic radiation can cure cancer patients.
C. Cosmic radiotherapy does no harm to patients' tissues.
D. Cosmic radiation is promising in the medical application.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cosmic Radiation: Hidden Health Risks
B. Cosmic Radiation: Dangers for Air-workers
C. Cosmic Radiation: a Double-edged Sword
D. Cosmic Radiation: Hope for Medical Treatment

根据短文内容,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。
Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms(算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories.
36 Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. What's more, AI-driven virtual guides are serving visitors in place of human ones. 37
Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. 38 AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. This early warning makes timely repair work possible. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies.
AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. It designs learning experiences matching different age groups and learning habits. 39 This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.
Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities and ethical(伦理的) challenges. Museums are working together with AI ethicists to develop fair algorithms. 40 Strict policies should be established to protect visitors' information.
A .Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues.
B. AI reshapes the operation of modern-day museums.
C. They deliver context-based replies to visitors' questions.
D. Timely discovery of damage counts for art preservation.
E. AI may lower museums' labour costs by simplifying routine work.
F. Digital tools could weaken young visitors interest in real exhibits.
G. To suit users, AI exhibits can adjust content and task difficulty levels.

In a community music class, ten teenagers from eight different countries gathered with traditional instruments. My Spanish guitar stood beside Maria's Chinese erhu and Samuel's West African djembe (金杯鼓). Our first attempt to play together 41 in a terrible mixture of conflicting scales(音阶) and rhythms, creating an atmosphere thick with 42 .
Our instructor, Ms. Davies, 43 a simple but profound instruction: “Listen,” she urged, “Do not merely play; seek to understand the story within each other’ s music.” Instead of 44 our traditions, we each taught a short musical phrase from our culture. 45 , my guitar’ s flamenco riff(弗拉门戈风格即兴重复段) clashed(与……不协调) with the erhu's melancholy(忧郁), while the djembe's complex rhythms confused us. However, as we gradually learned to play each other’ s phrases, 46 occurred. We began to listen more deeply, moving beyond the47 to understand the musician behind them. Samuel’ s drum pattern 48 life; Maria’ s erhu expressed longing; my guitar 49 raw emotion.
Ms. Davies then helped 50 these elements. The erhu’ s call became a question answered by the guitar’ s passion, supported by the djembe’ s steady rhythm. We didn’ t blend into uniformity; each sound remained 51 , creating a global tapestry (织锦) where every culture was highlighted.
Our final performance, though 52 , earned thunderous applause. We discovered true harmony doesn't require 53 notes, but respect for different voices and recognition of 54 human emotions. That day, music became more than sound; it became a bridge, and we were its 55 .

El Nino, coupled with ongoing global climate change, tends to worsen extreme weather across the globe,56 (pose) severe threats to natural ecosystems and human social development. Scientists point out that the_57_(combine) of global warming and El Nino is a major driver of increasing global disaster risks.
In normal conditions, stable trade winds push warm seawater westward. However, during an El Nino period, these winds turn 58 (mild) and less powerful than usual. Recent meteorological(气象学的) data suggests that the chance of an El Nino 59 (appear) between June and August 2027 is as high as 80 percent.
Climate researchers have different predictions. Some models forecast 60 strong El Nino in summer, while others indicate a mild one. 61 traditional natural El Nino activities, the current event coincides with(与……同时发生) global warming, 62 leads to unusual climate changes around the world. Human industrial activities constantly raise global surface temperatures, thus greatly strengthening El Nino's destructive force.
Climate change 63 (transform) the global climate system so far, making extreme weather disasters related to El Nino more frequent. The overlap (重叠) of El Nino and global warming will bring frequent heatwaves, serious droughts and violent rainstorms, further causing wildfires, floods and crop failures. Experts believe that 2027 is very likely 64 (become) one of the hottest years on record. Climate impacts differ from area to area, which makes 65difficult for people to predict accurate disaster risks in advance.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Sam never looked forward to his Saturday afternoon volunteer work at Oakwood Nursing Home. Though it was a necessary part of his high school graduation requirement, the place always smelled of old medicine and felt extremely dull. On every volunteer day, he only finished the basic tasks, passing out water and keeping to himself to avoid talking to the residents.
The resident he disliked most was Mr. Henderson, an irritable (易怒的) 80-year-old man who always stayed in his wheelchair at the far corner of the activity room. Mr. Henderson rarely smiled, never joined group events, and often complained about noisy teen volunteers. Sam always stayed away from him, annoyed by his endless complaints. However, he had noticed a small thing about the old man: he always kept an old, worn songbook on his knees. Sometimes he stroked its pages softly, his lips moving slightly as if murmuring familiar tunes. Sam guessed music might be the only comfort left for the lonely old man.
On a rainy and windy Saturday, the nursing home was ready for its monthly music activity. All the residents sat in the hall, eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to show up. Yet at 2p. m., activity coordinator (协调员) Sarah rushed in, looking very worried. “The band’ s bus has broken down on the road.’ she said in a slightly shaky voice. “They can’ t come today.”
Sadness spread across the whole room. Some residents sighed loudly, while others lowered their heads in disappointment. Sarah looked around helplessly, until her eyes landed on an old piano covered with dust in the corner. “Is there anyone who can play the piano?” she asked the residents.
Sam suddenly froze. He had learned to play the piano at the age of six and was quite good at it. But he was terrified at the thought of playing before a crowd. He kept his eyes on the ground, hoping no one would notice him. But when he looked up at the audience, he changed his mind. For the first time, these people were not annoying strangers to him, but a group of elders who had eagerly hoped for a little happiness. He looked at Mr. Henderson, who no longer had a frown on his face, but just stared quietly at the unused piano.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that point, Sam decided to do something.
Much to people's amazement, a rough, trembling voice started singing with the music.
2026年高二上学期第一次月考
参考答案
1-5:ACBCA 6-10:BCACC 11-15:BABAC 16-20: BBCBA
21-23:CBA 24-27:BCAD 28-31:BBDA 32-35:ACDC
【详细解析】
A
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【导语】文章主要介绍英国三场以土地与自然为主题的艺术展览,涵盖地景艺术背景、各展览亮点以及相关参观信息。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, Land Art invites artists to create work in the landscape and use natural materials.(地景艺术兴起于二十世纪六七十年代,它鼓励艺术家在自然环境中创作作品并使用天然材料。)”可知,地景艺术的一大特点是喜欢使用天然材料。故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据 Brief introductions部分中的“Millet. Life on the Land is held to mark the 150th anniversary of French artist Jean-François Millet's death. It features his realistic and poetic paintings of countryside workers, such as farmers and shepherds(牧羊人)(《米勒:土地上的生活》为纪念法国艺术家让-弗朗索瓦·米勒逝世150周年举办,展出他描绘农民、牧羊人等乡村劳动者写实而富有诗意的画作。)”以及展览详情可知,该展览位于伦敦国家美术馆,游客可以看到乡村劳动者的画像。故选B。
23.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Each month, we bring you a selection of UK exhibitions on similar themes. This month we look at how museums and galleries are drawing attention to Land Art and the way nature impacts on art.(每个月,我们都会为你挑选一批主题相近的英国展览。本月我们关注博物馆与美术馆如何让人们关注地景艺术遗产以及自然对艺术的影响。)”可知,文章按月推介艺术展览,最有可能出自艺术展览专栏。故选A。
B
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27 D
【导语】本文主要讲述的是凤凰城一名学校资源警官 Sean Reavie 自掏腰包帮助贫困中学生实现电影之旅的故事,展现了他的善良与慷慨。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help (当暑期末电影之旅的资金被意外取消时,项目组织者 Katie Jenkins 不知所措。她向 Sean Reavie 警官求助。)”以及后文“Reavie paid out of his own pocket (Reavie 自掏腰包)”可知, Jenkins 向 Reavie求助是因为她缺乏计划旅行所需的资金。故选B。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段“The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers.(虽然总共租赁花销少于2000美金,但这段经历对这些青少年来说是意义非凡的。)”可知,这段经历对孩子们来说很有价值。而后文“Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway (格林威是一所 Titlel学校,大多数学生来自经济困难家庭。许多人没有私家车,他们的父母打几份低薪工作来维持生计。这些孩子中有一半从未去过水上公园,更不用说穿过附近的高速公路了。)”提及学生的家境是为了解释本段第一句话——————对于这些从未有过此类体验的孩子来说,这次电影之旅意义非凡。D项错误原因:第三段的主语几乎全是孩子们(students/ their parents/ these kids/ half of these kids),没有一句在写 Reavie做了什么。如果要赞美 Reavie,素材应该在第四段——————年年自掏腰包、3000 美元带学生去水上公园、创办慈善基金会——————这些内容才是直接服务于“赞扬人物”的。用“孩子有多穷”来夸 Reavie,中间隔了一层间接推断,不是该细节的直接写作意图。故选 C。
26.推理判断题。根据第二段“Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’ s after-school program me.(Reavie 毫不犹豫地自掏腰包,为格林威中学课后项目中的144名七年级和八年级学生包下了整个电影院。)”以及第四段“Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3,000 taking students to a local water park.(Reavie 年复一年地用自己的钱帮助孩子们。去年夏天,他花了3000多美元带学生去当地的水上公园。)”可知, Reavie是一个 generous and warm-hearted 慷慨且热心的人。故选 A。
27.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward.... hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come.(在电影放映前, Reavie 向所有孩子表达了一个衷心的愿望:长大后把爱传递下去。...希望这一个善举将会种下善意的种子,在未来绽放)”可知, Reavie期望孩子们能像他一样做善事,将善意传递给更多人。根据“pay it forward(传递善意)”和后文“kindness”关键词可以得出答案。故选 D。
C
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. A
【导语】本文主要说明了奥地利一项研究表明,不喜欢的音乐会触发补偿性进食,让人更想吃高糖食物以缓解坏情绪,悦耳音乐则利于健康饮食,音乐可影响人们的食物选择。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“The findings, published in Appetite, suggest that disliked music triggers a form of compensatory(补偿的) eating——————a psychological mechanism where the brain seeks high-reward comfort foods to reduce negative emotions.(发表在《食欲》上的研究结果表明,不喜欢的音乐会引发一种补偿性进食形式————————这是一种心理机制,即大脑通过寻求高回报的安慰食物来减轻负面情绪)”可知,人们听到不悦的音乐后更喜欢吃甜食,因为甜食有助于缓解不良情绪。故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“The research team, led by Jonas Potthoff and Anne Schienle, divided106 participants into three groups: one listened to self-selected liked music, another listened to disliked music, and a third experienced silence. Before and after the listening session, participants rated their general desire to eat and their emotional state. They were then presented with a buffet table displaying three high-sugar items, three low-sugar options, and three non-food objects.(由约纳斯·波特霍夫和安妮·施恩勒领导的研究团队将106名参与者分为三组:一组听自己选择的喜欢的音乐,另一组听不喜欢的音乐,第三组则体验静默。在聆听前和聆听后,参与者分别评估了自己对进食的一般欲望以及情绪状态。随后,他们被展示了一张自助餐桌,上面摆放着三种高糖食品、三种低糖选项以及三种非食物物品)”可知,研究人员通过比较不同组别受试者的食物选择开展这项研究。故选 B。
30.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Because the unpleasant music undermined their emotional state, their brains in turn reached for comfort food rich in sugar as a coping mechanism —————— a classic example of emotional eating.(由于令人不快的音乐 undermined 了他们的情绪状态,他们的大脑转而选择富含糖分的安慰食物作为应对机制———————这正是情绪性进食的经典例子)”可知,不悦的音乐使情绪变差、恶化,从而导致情绪化进食。故划线词意思是“恶化”。故选D。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“While liked music may encourage healthier choices, disliked music increases the tendency to choose high-sugar foods even when the general appetite is depressed.(虽然喜欢的音乐可能促进更健康的饮食选择,但不喜欢的音乐会增加人们即使整体食欲下降时仍选择高糖食物的倾向)”可知,令人愉悦的音乐可能有助于人们选择更健康的食物。B:无音乐组糖摄入介于两组之间,不是最低;C: bad music不会完全失去对食物兴趣,只是总体食欲下降但更爱甜食;D:视觉偏好不由音乐决定。
故选 A。
D
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宇宙辐射的危害以及潜在的潜能。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段“However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation.(然而,在韩国,一名53岁的空乘员因长期暴露在强烈的宇宙辐射下而死于癌症)”可知,宇宙辐射可能会导致更高的癌症风险。

33.细节理解题。根据第二段“According to South Korean authorities, the flight attendant flew about1,022 annual hours throughout his career, with half of his flights spent crossing the regions in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation reaches extraordinarily high levels.(据韩国当局称,这名空乘员在他的职业生涯中每年飞行约1022小时,其中一半的飞行是在北极及其周围地区进行的,那里的宇宙辐射水平非常高)”可知,在两极探险的工人会暴露在最多的宇宙辐射中。故选C。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential. Joseph, a particle physicist and his members found the high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors.(然而,宇宙辐射的危险也有治疗的潜力。粒子物理学家约瑟夫和他的成员发现,宇宙辐射的高速和能量为治疗肿瘤提供了见解)”可知,约瑟夫认为宇宙辐射在医学上很有前景。故选 D。
35.主旨大意题。根据第二段“However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation.(然而,在韩国,一名53岁的空乘员因长期暴露在强烈的宇宙辐射下而死于癌症)”以及最后一段“However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential.

【导语】全文讲AI应用于博物馆,实现个性化游览、文物保护、优化教育,同时带来伦理隐私难题,博物馆携手伦理学家应对。
【详解】36.根据后文“Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. What's more, AI-driven virtual guides are serving visitors instead of traditional guides.(智能推荐引擎通过分析展品的受欢迎程度以及访客的过往行为,来推荐特定的展品和活动,使每次参观都独具特色且令人惊喜。此外,由人工智能驱动的虚拟导游正取代传统导游为游客提供服务)”可知,空后内容介绍AI智能推荐引擎、虚拟向导等技术为游客打造个性化游览体验,B项“AI 重塑现代博物馆的运营”可总领本段,契合段落核心逻辑。
37.根据上文“Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors ‘past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. What’s more, AI-driven virtual guides are serving visitors instead of traditional guides.(智能推荐引擎通过分析展品的受欢迎程度以及访客的过往行为,来推荐特定的展品和活动,使每次参观都独具特色且令人惊喜。此外,由人工智能驱动的虚拟导游正取代传统导游为游客提供服务)”可知,空前提到AI驱动的虚拟向导取代传统向导,C项“它们根据语境回答游客的问题”承接虚拟向导的功能,语义连贯。
38.根据后文“AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. This early warning makes timely repair work possible. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies.(人工智能能够帮助识别微小的损坏迹象,例如裂缝或变色,这些通常肉眼难以察觉。这种早期预警使得及时进行维修成为可能。此外,通过预测未来的衰变模式,人工智能帮助博物馆采取预防措施并改进保护策略)”可知,空后说明AI能识别人眼难以察觉的艺术品早期破损,实现及时修复,D项“及时发现破损对文物保护至关重要”引出本段文物保护的核心话题,衔接自然。
39.根据上文“AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. It designs learning experiences matching different age groups and learning habits.(人工智能还显著提升了博物馆的教育价值,尤其对儿童和家庭而言。它设计出符合不同年龄群体和学习习惯的学习体验)”以及后文“This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.(这种适应性确保了复杂的历史概念能够被年轻一代所理解并引起兴趣)”可知,空后提到这种适配性让复杂历史概念更易被青少年理解,G项“为适配使用者,AI展品可以调整内容和任务难度”对应“适配性”的描述,呼应上下文。
40.根据后文“Strict policies should be established to protect visitors’ information.(应制定严格的规定以保护访客信息)”可知,空后指出要制定严格政策保护游客信息,A项“游客数据收集也引发了隐私问题”引出隐私保护的话题,与后文伦理挑战的内容匹配。
41. C 42. A 43. A 44. B 45. D 46. C 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. C51. B 52. D 53. B 54. A 55. C

应用文写作
sample 1:
Good morning, everyone!
It's a great honor to share my views on music and painting. On the one hand, music charms us with its melodies ——————— whenever we feel stressed, a gentle tune can calm our nerves. On the other hand, painting delights us with colors and lines, offering a fresh view of the world.
Despite their differences, the two arts share the same soul: both convey emotions beyond words and connect hearts across cultures.
In conclusion, music and painting are truly two languages of the heart. So let's embrace them and make our lives more colorful!
Thank you!
sample 2:
Good morning, everyone!
It's my great honor to share my thoughts on Music and Painting: Two Languages of the Heart.
Music touches our souls with sounds. For example, soft melodies can instantly calm our anxious minds. Painting speaks through colours and lines, freezing beautiful moments that words fail to describe.
Though different in forms, they share something in common. Both convey feelings without relying on words.
From my perspective, these arts enrich our inner world. Whenever we feel upset, we can turn to music or paintings for comfort. They help us see the world with more sensitive hearts.
Thank you!
读后续写 sample:
At that point, Sam decided to do something. Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and offered to play the piano. He walked slowly to the dusty piano in the corner, wiped off the dirt on the keys and sat down gently. Though nervous at first, he soon relaxed himself. As his fingers touched the keys, beautiful and smooth melodies flowed out. The soft music instantly filled the entire hall. All the disappointed residents quieted down, focusing on the pleasant music and temporarily forgetting their disappointment.
Much to people's amazement, a rough, trembling voice started singing with the music. It was the always grumpy Mr. Henderson. He opened his worn songbook and sang softly to the rhythm. His face was no longer full of complaints but covered with gentle calmness. Inspired by him, other residents joined in the singing one after another. Warmth and joy flooded the room. Sam finally let go of his prejudice against the old man. He realized that volunteering was never a boring task, but a warm encounter that brought happiness to others and helped him grow.
一、题型与命题立意
本题为高考标准读后续写题型,满分25分。文本以高中生 Sam的养老院志愿服务为叙事主线,围绕“志愿奉献、打破偏见、自我成长、温情治愈”的核心立意展开。文章铺垫充足、人物反差鲜明、情节冲突合理,重点考查学生的文本伏笔抓取能力、情节逻辑构建能力、细节描写能力与主题升华能力,契合高中英语核心素养中情感态度与语言运用的考查要求。
文本核心脉络:男主 Sam消极敷衍志愿工作→对孤僻暴躁的 Henderson老人存在偏见→月度音乐活动突发变故,老人期待落空→Sam内心触动,完成心理转变,为续写铺垫完整的人物与情节基础。
二、文本核心伏笔梳理(续写核心依据)
1.人物伏笔
Sam:初始心态消极被动,志愿服务仅为完成毕业任务,性格内向怯场;自幼学习钢琴、琴技出众,内心善良柔软,具备成长蜕变的核心条件。
Mr. Henderson:外表暴躁孤僻、爱抱怨、拒绝集体活动,是Sam最反感的老人;核心隐性伏笔:常年随身携带一本破旧歌本,暗示其热爱音乐、内心孤独温柔,是续写情节升华的关键人物。
2.情节伏笔
核心冲突:月度音乐活动因乐队车辆故障取消,全场老人陷入失落,闲置的旧钢琴成为破局关键。
情感铺垫: Sam目睹老人的失落,放下偏见与胆怯,萌生挺身而出的想法,为两段续写内容提供完整情感逻辑。
三、续写段落逻辑架构(标准答案思路)
第一段(At that point, Sam decided to do something.)
核心任务:承接前文心理转变,描写 Sam的行动过程,完成从犹豫到勇敢担当的行为落地。
必备情节要素:主动举手应答工作人员→走向布满灰尘的钢琴、简单准备→克服紧张弹奏钢琴→悠扬琴声安抚全场,营造安静温情的氛围。
写作核心要求:贴合人物人设,保留 Sam略带紧张的心理细节,呼应前文“尘封的钢琴”“精湛琴技”伏笔,情节连贯自然。
第二段(Much to people's amazement, a rough, trembling voice started singing with the music.)
核心任务:解锁核心伏笔,完成人物和解与主题升华。
必备情节要素:点明唱歌者为 Henderson老人→老人拿出破旧歌本轻声跟唱,褪去暴躁冷漠→其他老人纷纷附和,氛围温暖治愈→Sam破除偏见、感悟志愿意义,实现自我成长。
写作核心要求:必须呼应“破旧歌本”核心伏笔,完成人物反差闭环,升华志愿服务的价值与少年的成长蜕变。
四、高频失分点(教师重点讲评)
线索遗漏:忽略 Henderson老人的破旧歌本核心伏笔,情节空洞,无法解释老人唱歌的行为;
人设失衡:将暴躁老人直接写得热情开朗,无情绪过渡,违背原文人物设定:
情节单薄:仅简单记叙弹琴、唱歌,缺少心理、场景、氛围细节,画面感缺失;
主题空洞:只叙事不升华,未体现 Sam破除偏见、自我成长、理解志愿意义的核心主题;
格式违规:篡改给定段首句、段落混杂、词数严重不达标。

W: Today, I'd like to share a story about 80-year-old Natalie Grabow, who completed the 2025Ironman World Championship Triathlon. A triathlon is a tough three-part race that includes swimming, biking, and running, and the Ironman is the most famous and challenging of them all. MS. Grabow finished it, becoming the oldest woman ever to do so.
She has always been athletic.⑱When her kids were young, she played tennis, and later, she took up running when she returned to work. Some of her running friends joined triathblons,which inspired her to try—————— but she didn't know how to swim. At 59, she began learning.⑲In 2005, she completed her first half Ironman, and just one year later, she competed in the full-distance Ironman. She has now finished the race 11 times.
See? Ms. Grabow never stopped challenging herself. ⑳I know some of you may feel that, as this is your final year of junior high, it's too late to start learning seriously. But remember——— if you' re willing to begin, it's never too late. And if you ever need a hand, you know where my office is.13
