However, they are often rooted in deep cultural meanings. So, if you’re into traveling and culture, here are some of the world’s most unusual festivals. Night of the Radishes, Oaxaca, Mexico Celebrated annually on December 23, this festival turns ordinary radishes (萝卜) into artistic works. Dating back to colonial times, local farmers carved radish sculptures to draw market shoppers. Now it has developed into a grand contest with awards, drawing numerous visitors to appreciate creative radish carvings. Treated with special materials for durability, these carved radishes are works of art rather than edible food. Monkey Buffet Festival, Lopburi, Thailand Each November, locals hold a fruit buffet exclusively for monkeys to express gratitude. Regarded as symbols of good fortune, monkeys attract masses of tourists to the city. Nevertheless, tourists ought to watch over their personal possessions carefully, for monkeys tend to take people’s belongings without hesitation. Boryeong Mud Festival, South Korea Held every July, the festival originated to advertise the town’s nutrient-packed mud. Gradually, it has evolved into a lively event featuring mud wrestling and mud-based skincare services. Participants can enjoy carefree fun and will end up totally covered in mud. Snail Racing Championship, Congham, England This one’s exactly what it sounds like: people racing snails. Every summer, snail enthusiasts from around the world gather in Congham to see whose snail is the fastest.

Every day, he struggles with forgetting where he puts his keys and sometimes he can’t even recognize the faces of his dearest friends. But he refuses to let this tough condition stop him from exploring the world! He and his wife Jill, take regular trips — twice a year. “Traveling helps me keep enjoying life,” Scott said. “Although it can be tiring sometimes, these new experiences make my mind and body active.” Scientists predict that by 2050, around 153 million people globally will suffer from dementia. However, a recent study interviewing over a hundred dementia patients in China reveals that travel can significantly benefit these patients. The new sights, smells, tastes, and social interactions during travel offer crucial cognitive and sensory stimulation. According to Jun Wen, a tourism lecturer at Edith Cowan University and researcher, the expectation and planning in tourism stimulate brain function. Meanwhile, the exercise often aligns with dementia treatment plans. Warren Harding, a dementia care professor, adds that travel helps patients build confidence, trigger memories, and gain independence, serving as a valuable addition to non-drug treatments by offering emotional and social benefits. Around the world, countries are introducing creative programs to make travel more accessible for people with dementia. In Western Australia, over 20 venues host “memory café” events, where patients socialize over morning tea. Near Melbourne, Australia’s first dementia-friendly sensory path winds through a forest. These diverse efforts collectively represent a growing global trend. By focusing on the unique needs of dementia patients, these actions not only enhance the travel experience for this community but also set an example for more friendly and caring tourism worldwide. In the years to come, aged care experts hope people like Scott and Jill Cooper can holiday with greater ease, creating memories from travel, no matter how long they last. 4. Why is Scott Cooper’s story mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To promote his way of life. B. To show his passion for travel. C. To reflect his tough condition with dementia. D. To reveal a potential treatment for dementia. 5. What might benefit patients with dementia during travel according to the study? A. Keeping travel diaries. B. Chatting with locals. C. Recalling fond memories. D. Enjoying favourite foods. 6. What do the underlined words “aligns with” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Agrees with. B. Conflicts with. C. Breaks with. D. Ends with. 7. What can we know about the dementia-friendly travel programs? A. They make it accessible to travel in Australia. B. They meet dementia patients’ medication needs. C. They improve travel experiences and global tourism. D. They help dementia patients create long-term memories. ★C A valuable violin with a storied past will be auctioned (拍卖) at Sotheby’s in February and it could become the most expensive musical instrument ever auctioned. Known as the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius, the instrument was made in 1714 by Antonio Stradivari, the famous Italian violin maker, during his golden period of craftsmanship. “The instrument is still in working condition, and it could sell for between 12 and 18 million,” Sotheby’s announced this week. The current record-holder for the most expensive musical instrument is another Stradivarius violin: the 1721 Lady Blunt Stradivarius, which went for $15.9 million. The violin was once owned by the famous musician Joseph Joachim, who most likely performed with it during the 1879 premiere (首演) of Johannes Brahms’ Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77. “The first time we saw the instrument, we were really, truly blown away just by its presence,” said Mari-Claudia Jiménez, Sotheby’s chairman. The violin’s other owner is Si-Hon Ma, an excellent violinist and teacher who invented “The Si-Hon Mute”, something placed behind a violin’s bridge to fade out (使渐弱) sound. It doesn’t need removing when not in use, which makes it “a great improvement over the older standard mute”. Ma bought the Stradivarius violin and played it until he passed away in 2009. After being on display for a while at the Violin Museum in Cremona, Italy, the instrument was donated to the New England Conservatory (NEC), Ma’s old school. The violin came with the clause that it could one day be sold to help students. Over the past nine years, only a handful of senior students have been able to play the valuable violin, as Andrea Kalyn, president of NEC, said. “It has been an extraordinary experience for them.” Although future generations of NEC students won’t necessarily be able to play the over-300-year-old violin, they will still benefit from its sale. “Its sale will help NEC develop future talent and place this Stradivarius violin back on the world stage, where it belongs. NEC will establish some scholarships that will honor the mission to educate and train the next generation of musicians,” said Andrea. 8. What is special about the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius? A. It’s been in use for hundreds of years. B. It was made by the most famous violin maker. C. It looks set to break the auction price record. D. It’s the only surviving violin made by Stradivari. 9. What contribution did Si-Hon Ma make? A. He developed a new type of violin bridge. B. He introduced a lively style of violin playing. C. He established a celebrated violin training school. D. He created a device to improve violin performance. 10. Which might Andrea agree with regarding the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius? A. It costs an arm and a leg for the school to keep it. B. Its sale improves educational opportunities for students. C. It should be played regularly to maintain its condition. D. Its historical value outweighs any commercial considerations. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To discuss the design of the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius. B. To explain the collectible value of Stradivarius violins. C. To promote the music of Joseph Joachim and Si-Hon Ma. D. To announce the auction of a valuable violin and its impact. D Superhighways of vessels (血管) beneath our skin transport blood and nutrients. These natural pathways branch out like tree limbs (树枝) to help our body move food and oxygen to our organs. While our bodies naturally produce vessels, bioengineers are now crafting them in labs, using an unexpected material: ice. The idea was inspired by the ice magic in the Disney movie Frozen, says Burak Ozdoganlar, a mechanical engineer at Carnegie Mellon University, “ Frozen’s ice queen commands ice and snow — maybe we can too.” To make the vessels, the engineers first needed a template (模板) to build the tissue. “Originally, we were trying to do this with wax,” Ozdoganlar says. “But wax proved too soft. And it’s not necessarily biocompatible, or suitable for use in the body.” Then they thought of Elsa’s magic. Ice seemed like a good alternative for many reasons. It costs little and is readily available. And most importantly, since it’s nonpoisonous, the body won’t reject it. Printing the ice template is simple. Engineers program the desired shape into a 3-D printer, which then drops water onto a －35 ℃ surface to freeze it instantly. This process is repeated until the vessel’s shape is complete. Overall, it takes less than 30 seconds. Then the template is encased in gelatin (明胶), which hardens under ultraviolet light as the ice melts, leaving behind realistic-looking blood channels. The team has tested the channels with lining cells of blood vessels. Those cells survived for two weeks, a promising sign for future transplantation into humans. The new vessels might be tested with a drug being developed for use in people. Such tests could show how your body might react to the drug. “This is really a game-changer,” says Ozdoganlar. “The new research is quite interesting and exciting,” says Warren Grayson, a biomedical engineer at Johns Hopkins University. “But it also has limitations. You can see that all these structures are pretty small. Their size is limited by the need for extreme cold. Larger structures would not stay cold enough due to heat transfer. This method may not transform the tissue engineering field, but it does provide another perspective for creating structures.” 12. What key advantage does ice offer over wax for the engineers’ project? A. It’s cost-effective. B. It’s easily available. C. It’s harmless to our body. D. It’s environmentally friendly. 13. What happens to the ice template during the process of vessel making? A. It is reshaped after its completion. B. It becomes a part of the final vessel. C. It makes the surrounding gelatin solid. D. It melts away with the channels remaining. 14. What does Warren Grayson think of the ice-vessel approach? A. It serves as a practical solution. B. It provides a new outlook. C. It marks a dramatic change. D. It works for large structures. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. From Frozen to Functional: Crafting Vessels from Ice B. Vessel Building: Challenges and Advances in Materials C. 3-D Printing: A Game-Changer for Biological Engineering D. Bringing Frozen to Life: Impacting Blood Flow with Ice ★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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Streaming Music Nowadays, many music fans listen to songs not from records or CDS but directly on the Internet.

Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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。 Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高 二 英 语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题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。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.

Every day, he struggles with forgetting where he puts his keys and sometimes he can’t even recognize the faces of his dearest friends. But he refuses to let this tough condition stop him from exploring the world! He and his wife Jill, take regular trips — twice a year. “Traveling helps me keep enjoying life,” Scott said. “Although it can be tiring sometimes, these new experiences make my mind and body active.” Scientists predict that by 2050, around 153 million people globally will suffer from dementia. However, a recent study interviewing over a hundred dementia patients in China reveals that travel can significantly benefit these patients. The new sights, smells, tastes, and social interactions during travel offer crucial cognitive and sensory stimulation. According to Jun Wen, a tourism lecturer at Edith Cowan University and researcher, the expectation and planning in tourism stimulate brain function. Meanwhile, the exercise often aligns with dementia treatment plans. Warren Harding, a dementia care professor, adds that travel helps patients build confidence, trigger memories, and gain independence, serving as a valuable addition to non-drug treatments by offering emotional and social benefits. Around the world, countries are introducing creative programs to make travel more accessible for people with dementia. In Western Australia, over 20 venues host “memory café” events, where patients socialize over morning tea. Near Melbourne, Australia’s first dementia-friendly sensory path winds through a forest. These diverse efforts collectively represent a growing global trend. By focusing on the unique needs of dementia patients, these actions not only enhance the travel experience for this community but also set an example for more friendly and caring tourism worldwide. In the years to come, aged care experts hope people like Scott and Jill Cooper can holiday with greater ease, creating memories from travel, no matter how long they last. 4. Why is Scott Cooper’s story mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To promote his way of life. B. To show his passion for travel. C. To reflect his tough condition with dementia. D. To reveal a potential treatment for dementia. 5. What might benefit patients with dementia during travel according to the study? A. Keeping travel diaries. B. Chatting with locals. C. Recalling fond memories. D. Enjoying favourite foods. 6. What do the underlined words “aligns with” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Agrees with. B. Conflicts with. C. Breaks with. D. Ends with. 7. What can we know about the dementia-friendly travel programs? A. They make it accessible to travel in Australia. B. They meet dementia patients’ medication needs. C. They improve travel experiences and global tourism. D. They help dementia patients create long-term memories. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7.

(然而，一项针对中国一百多名痴呆症患者的最新研究表明，旅行能让这些患者获益良多。)”可知，第一段讲述斯科特的故事是为了引出旅行对痴呆症有益，是一种潜在的改善方式。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The new sights, smells, tastes, and social interactions during travel offer crucial cognitive and sensory stimulation. (旅行中全新的景象、气味、味觉以及社交互动能提供至关重要的认知和感官刺激。)”可知，与当地人交谈属于社交互动，对患者有益。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“According to Jun Wen, a tourism lecturer at Edith Cowan University and researcher, the expectation and planning in tourism stimulate brain function. Meanwhile, the exercise often aligns with dementia treatment plans. Warren Harding, a dementia care professor, adds that travel helps patients build confidence, trigger memories, and gain independence, serving as a valuable addition to non-drug treatments by offering emotional and social benefits. (据伊迪斯科文大学旅游学讲师兼研究员文君介绍，旅游中的期待感与规划过程能够刺激大脑机能。同时，这类活动往往aligns with痴呆症的治疗方案。痴呆症护理教授沃伦・哈丁补充道，旅行有助于患者树立信心、唤起记忆、重拾独立能力。它能带来情感与社交层面的益处，作为非药物治疗手段的有益补充。)”可知，这类活动能够刺激大脑机能，即与痴呆症的治疗方案一致，所以aligns with意为“与……一致、契合”，与agrees with同义。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“By focusing on the unique needs of dementia patients, these actions not only enhance the travel experience for this community but also set an example for more friendly and caring tourism worldwide. (这些举措关注痴呆症患者的特殊需求，不仅提升了该群体的旅行体验，也为全球更友好、暖心的旅游业树立了典范。)”可知，友好旅行项目改善患者体验、助力全球旅游业发展。 ★C A valuable violin with a storied past will be auctioned (拍卖) at Sotheby’s in February and it could become the most expensive musical instrument ever auctioned. Known as the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius, the instrument was made in 1714 by Antonio Stradivari, the famous Italian violin maker, during his golden period of craftsmanship. “The instrument is still in working condition, and it could sell for between 12 and 18 million,” Sotheby’s announced this week. The current record-holder for the most expensive musical instrument is another Stradivarius violin: the 1721 Lady Blunt Stradivarius, which went for $15.9 million. The violin was once owned by the famous musician Joseph Joachim, who most likely performed with it during the 1879 premiere (首演) of Johannes Brahms’ Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77. “The first time we saw the instrument, we were really, truly blown away just by its presence,” said Mari-Claudia Jiménez, Sotheby’s chairman. The violin’s other owner is Si-Hon Ma, an excellent violinist and teacher who invented “The Si-Hon Mute”, something placed behind a violin’s bridge to fade out (使渐弱) sound. It doesn’t need removing when not in use, which makes it “a great improvement over the older standard mute”. Ma bought the Stradivarius violin and played it until he passed away in 2009. After being on display for a while at the Violin Museum in Cremona, Italy, the instrument was donated to the New England Conservatory (NEC), Ma’s old school. The violin came with the clause that it could one day be sold to help students. Over the past nine years, only a handful of senior students have been able to play the valuable violin, as Andrea Kalyn, president of NEC, said. “It has been an extraordinary experience for them.” Although future generations of NEC students won’t necessarily be able to play the over-300-year-old violin, they will still benefit from its sale. “Its sale will help NEC develop future talent and place this Stradivarius violin back on the world stage, where it belongs. NEC will establish some scholarships that will honor the mission to educate and train the next generation of musicians,” said Andrea. 8. What is special about the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius? A. It’s been in use for hundreds of years. B. It was made by the most famous violin maker. C. It looks set to break the auction price record. D. It’s the only surviving violin made by Stradivari. 9. What contribution did Si-Hon Ma make? A. He developed a new type of violin bridge. B. He introduced a lively style of violin playing. C. He established a celebrated violin training school. D. He created a device to improve violin performance. 10. Which might Andrea agree with regarding the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius? A. It costs an arm and a leg for the school to keep it. B. Its sale improves educational opportunities for students. C. It should be played regularly to maintain its condition. D. Its historical value outweighs any commercial considerations. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To discuss the design of the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius. B. To explain the collectible value of Stradivarius violins. C. To promote the music of Joseph Joachim and Si-Hon Ma. D. To announce the auction of a valuable violin and its impact. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一把珍贵的斯特拉迪瓦里小提琴即将拍卖，讲述其传奇过往、历任持有者，以及拍卖所得将助力音乐学院培育音乐人才。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A valuable violin with a storied past will be auctioned (拍卖) at Sotheby’s in February and it could become the most expensive musical instrument ever auctioned.(一把有着传奇过往的珍贵小提琴将于二月在苏富比拍卖行拍卖，它有望成为史上拍卖价格最高的乐器。)”可知，这把小提琴有望打破乐器拍卖纪录。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The violin’s other owner is Si-Hon Ma, an excellent violinist and teacher who invented “The Si-Hon Mute”, something placed behind a violin’s bridge to fade out (使渐弱) sound.(这把小提琴的另一位主人是马思宏，一位优秀的小提琴演奏家和教师，他发明了“马氏弱音器”，这是一种放置在小提琴琴马后方、用来减弱声音的装置。)”可知，马思宏发明了改良小提琴演奏效果的装置。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 “Its sale will help NEC develop future talent and place this Stradivarius violin back on the world stage, where it belongs. NEC will establish some scholarships that will honor the mission to educate and train the next generation of musicians.(此次拍卖将助力新英格兰音乐学院培养未来人才，这把斯特拉迪瓦里小提琴也将重回属于它的世界舞台。学院将设立奖学金，践行培育下一代音乐家的使命。)” 可知 Andrea 认为小提琴拍卖可以改善学生的教育机会。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A valuable violin with a storied past will be auctioned at Sotheby’s in February and it could become the most expensive musical instrument ever auctioned.(一把有着传奇过往的珍贵小提琴将于二月在苏富比拍卖行拍卖，它有望成为史上拍卖价格最高的乐器。)”以及后续介绍了这把琴的背景以及拍卖后所得资金将用于扶持音乐教育的相关影响。可知，文章旨在官宣珍贵小提琴的拍卖消息，并介绍此次拍卖带来的积极影响。 D Superhighways of vessels (血管) beneath our skin transport blood and nutrients. These natural pathways branch out like tree limbs (树枝) to help our body move food and oxygen to our organs. While our bodies naturally produce vessels, bioengineers are now crafting them in labs, using an unexpected material: ice. The idea was inspired by the ice magic in the Disney movie Frozen, says Burak Ozdoganlar, a mechanical engineer at Carnegie Mellon University, “ Frozen’s ice queen commands ice and snow — maybe we can too.” To make the vessels, the engineers first needed a template (模板) to build the tissue. “Originally, we were trying to do this with wax,” Ozdoganlar says. “But wax proved too soft. And it’s not necessarily biocompatible, or suitable for use in the body.” Then they thought of Elsa’s magic. Ice seemed like a good alternative for many reasons. It costs little and is readily available. And most importantly, since it’s nonpoisonous, the body won’t reject it. Printing the ice template is simple. Engineers program the desired shape into a 3-D printer, which then drops water onto a －35 ℃ surface to freeze it instantly. This process is repeated until the vessel’s shape is complete. Overall, it takes less than 30 seconds. Then the template is encased in gelatin (明胶), which hardens under ultraviolet light as the ice melts, leaving behind realistic-looking blood channels. The team has tested the channels with lining cells of blood vessels. Those cells survived for two weeks, a promising sign for future transplantation into humans. The new vessels might be tested with a drug being developed for use in people. Such tests could show how your body might react to the drug. “This is really a game-changer,” says Ozdoganlar. “The new research is quite interesting and exciting,” says Warren Grayson, a biomedical engineer at Johns Hopkins University. “But it also has limitations. You can see that all these structures are pretty small. Their size is limited by the need for extreme cold. Larger structures would not stay cold enough due to heat transfer. This method may not transform the tissue engineering field, but it does provide another perspective for creating structures.” 12. What key advantage does ice offer over wax for the engineers’ project? A. It’s cost-effective. B. It’s easily available. C. It’s harmless to our body. D. It’s environmentally friendly. 13. What happens to the ice template during the process of vessel making? A. It is reshaped after its completion. B. It becomes a part of the final vessel. C. It makes the surrounding gelatin solid. D. It melts away with the channels remaining. 14. What does Warren Grayson think of the ice-vessel approach? A. It serves as a practical solution. B. It provides a new outlook. C. It marks a dramatic change. D. It works for large structures. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. From Frozen to Functional: Crafting Vessels from Ice B. Vessel Building: Challenges and Advances in Materials C. 3-D Printing: A Game-Changer for Biological Engineering D. Bringing Frozen to Life: Impacting Blood Flow with Ice 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了工程师利用冰作模板在实验室制造人造血管的新技术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And most importantly, since it’s nonpoisonous, the body won’t reject it. (最重要的是，由于冰是无毒的，身体不会排斥它)”可知，与蜡相比，冰的关键优势在于它对人体无害。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then the template is encased in gelatin (明胶), which hardens under ultraviolet light as the ice melts, leaving behind realistic-looking blood channels. (然后将模板包裹在明胶中，明胶在紫外线下硬化，同时冰融化，留下逼真的血液通道)”可知，在血管制造过程中，冰模板会融化消失，而通道保留下来。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This method may not transform the tissue engineering field, but it does provide another perspective for creating structures. (这种方法可能不会改变组织工程领域，但它确实为创建结构提供了另一种视角)”可知，Warren Grayson认为这种冰血管方法提供了一种新的视角。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段介绍了人体血管的运输功能，引出生物工程师用冰在实验室进行制作血管的研究； 第二段说明了研究灵感源于《冰雪奇缘》，解释选择冰而非蜡的原因； 第三段介绍了冰模板制作血管的具体流程；第四段说明了该方法的细胞测试结果，并提到新血管可用于药物测试，研究者认为这是颠覆性进展；第五段引用专家观点，指出该方法的局限性，但认可其为组织工程提供了新视角。由此可知，文章以《冰雪奇缘》的灵感切入，完整介绍了用冰制作血管的研究——材料选择、制作流程、测试结果、专家评价。“From Frozen to Functional: Crafting Vessels from Ice (从《冰雪奇缘》到实用：用冰制作血管)” 覆盖了文章的灵感来源、核心研究内容，最适合作为文章标题。 ★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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Streaming Music Nowadays, many music fans listen to songs not from records or CDS but directly on the Internet.

Housed 37. had laid 38. greatly 39. bringing 40. whose 41. was struck 42. settings 43. liberation 44. than 45. a 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者参观奥赛博物馆，欣赏莫奈、雷诺阿的印象派画作，了解印象派的艺术特点及其对现代艺术的深远影响。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：世界闻名的奥赛博物馆坐落在一座旧铁路建筑内，展出19世纪印象派运动中一些最知名的画作。此处为非谓语，Musée d’Orsay与house为被动关系，应用过去分词作状语，且句首时首字母应大写。 【37题详解】 考查时态。句意：这是我第一次亲眼见到真正的画作。固定句型This was the first time that+从句，表示“这是……第一次做某事”，主句be动词用was（一般过去时），that从句必须用过去完成时had +过去分词。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：莫奈深受大自然的启发，尤其是他的花园。此处应用副词greatly修饰动词inspired。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：莫奈喜欢研究像睡莲池塘这样简单的景色，因此每次都以独特的方式将池塘之美展现在画布上。此处为非谓语，前面整件事和bring是主动关系，用现在分词bringing作结果状语。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：雷诺阿，其代表作《煎饼磨坊的舞会》展现了巴黎一个热闹街区周日下午的生活，他更喜欢描绘日常生活场景。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词Renoir，指人，在从句中作masterpiece的定语，应用关系代词whose引导。 【41题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：近距离观看这幅画，我被画上一片片光斑以及人物柔和轮廓交融在一起的样子所震撼。此处是谓语动词，主语I与strike是被动关系，叙述过去发生的事应用一般过去时，所以应填was struck。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：尽管他们画作的背景截然不同，但两位画家都试图挣脱传统艺术的束缚。different后接可数名词复数，所以应填settings。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：他们都寻求摆脱旧风格的条条框框。sought是动词seek的过去式，后面需要名词作宾语，liberation表“解放”，为不可数名词。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：印象派画家描绘的只是他们那一刻短暂的“印象”，而不是场景里的每一处细节。固定搭配rather than，表示“而不是”。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：印象派对现代艺术产生了持久的影响。此处考查固定搭配have a lasting influence on…，表示“对……产生持久的影响”，lasting以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。 ★第三节 课文默写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 用课文原文填空，每空填入一个单词。 46. When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first meet, the music is light and pleasant, as if ________ the audience. (根据句意填空) 【答案】whispering to 【解析】 【详解】句意：当梁山伯与祝英台这对恋人初次相遇时，音乐轻快愉悦，仿佛在对听众低声诉说。结合语意可知，此处表示“（音乐）在对听众低声诉说”，使用动词短语whisper to。此处为as if引导的方式状语从句的省略形式，as if引导方式状语从句时，当从句的主语和主句的主语一致（此处从句逻辑主语和主句的主语一致，均为the music），且从句谓语包含be动词时，可以省略从句的主语和be动词。 47. Then the music gets ______________ with heavier notes and that is when the lovers are separated because Zhu’s father forces her to marry another man. (根据句意填空) 【答案】dramatic 【解析】 【详解】句意：接着音乐变得富有戏剧性，带有更沉重的音符，那正是这对恋人被迫分开的时刻，因为祝英台的父亲强迫她嫁给另一个男人。根据“with heavier notes”及空格前的系动词gets可知，此处应填一个形容词作表语，描述音乐的特点。dramatic意为“戏剧性的”，符合语境。 48. The crowd immediately recognized that they were listening to something truly special, and they ________ at the end of the symphony. (根据句意填空) 【答案】broke into enthusiastic cheers 【解析】 【详解】句意：听众立刻意识到他们正在聆听真正特别的音乐，于是在交响乐结束时爆发出热烈的欢呼声。结合语意可知，此处表示“爆发出热烈的欢呼声”，可使用动词短语break into enthusiastic cheers。根据“recognized”可知，应用一般过去时，break的过去式是broke。 49. This well-developed ability, as well as the scroll’s ambitious size, allows Zhang __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ — you could study the painting for hours and still discover something new. (根据句意填空) 【答案】 ①. to ②. show ③. an ④. enormous ⑤. amount ⑥. of ⑦. detail 【解析】 【详解】句意：这种高超的能力，再加上画卷的宏大尺寸，让张能够展示出大量的细节——你可以花几个小时研究这幅画，仍然能发现一些新的东西。根据“you could study the painting for hours and still discover something new”及空格前的allows Zhang可知，设空处表示“展示出大量的细节”，此处考查固定搭配allow sb. to do sth.，意为“允许某人做某事”，故第一个空填to。其后需接动词原形show，表示“展示”；show后接名词短语作宾语，“大量的细节”用an enormous amount of detail表示，其中an为不定冠词，enormous为形容词作定语修饰amount，amount of为固定搭配表示数量，detail为不可数名词。 50. Even though I had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen, __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ when I finally laid eyes on the real thing. (根据句意填空) 【答案】 ①. nothing ②. could ③. have ④. prepared ⑤. me ⑥. for ⑦. the ⑧. wonder ⑨. I ⑩. felt 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管我在电脑屏幕上欣赏过它们数百次，但当我最终亲眼看到实物时，没有什么能让我对所感受到的奇妙做好准备。根据句意及空格后的when引导的时间状语从句可知，此处表达“没有什么能让我对所感受到的奇妙做好准备”，应用固定句型Nothing could have prepared me for...，表示过去未曾预料到的强烈感受。其中could have done为虚拟语气，表示对过去的推测或假设；prepare sb. for sth.意为“使某人对某事做好准备”；the wonder I felt为名词短语，意为“我所感受到的奇妙”，其中I felt为定语从句修饰wonder。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 51. 假如你是校英语广播站记者李华，近期你发现校园学生群体中低俗网络神曲（vulgar online viral songs）泛滥。请你写一份广播稿，引导大家理性看待音乐、树立正确的音乐审美。内容包括： （1）潜在的危害； （2）你的建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Shape Our Taste, Embrace Quality Music ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Shape Our Taste, Embrace Quality Music Hello, everyone.

Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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。 Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. The blue paint shelf stood empty. “Mr. Thompson just restocked other colors yesterday,” Alex pointed to vibrant jars of purple and green. A sudden idea struck Mark. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s lesson about color blending — blue could be created by mixing green and purple! With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. Alex grinned, “You did it!” New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination. Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. Instead of traditional blue tones, his landscape shimmered with unexpected depth from the blended colors. The art teacher’s eyes widened in recognition. “Creative problem-solving deserves extra credit,” Mr. Thompson announced, placing a golden star sticker on Mark’s work. Across the room, Alex gave a thumbs-up as sunlight broke through the clouds, making the painting’s unique blues glow like real seawater. Mark touched his now paint-free shirt, understanding that mistakes could lead to brighter masterpieces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述的是Mark在为学校年度艺术展创作海景画时，因意外打翻颜料而毁掉作品，在懊恼与自责中，Mark走出画室，他的好友Alex带着Mark回美术用品室看看还有没有蓝色颜料的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一进储藏室，Mark的心就沉了下去。”可知，第一段可描写Mark看到了什么让他的心沉下去，结合下一段提示的内容可知，他们又是如何解决的没有蓝色颜料的问题并完成画作的。 ②由第二段首句内容“两天后，Mark紧张地站在展览会上自己那幅“重生”的画作旁。”可知，第二段可描写这幅重生的画作有什么不同，以及老师和同学们看到后做出什么反应和Mark对此事的感悟。 2.续写线索：储藏室没有“海洋蓝”色——想到混合颜色得到蓝色——调出“海洋蓝”色——完成画作——师生称赞画作——Mark的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然想起：strike/hit/occur to/dawn on ②颤抖：trembling/shivering/shaking ③匆忙返回：rushed back/ hurried back/returned hurriedly 情绪类 ①笑：grin/smile broadly/beam/ chuckle happily ②惊讶：eyes widen/eyes open wide 【点睛】[高分句型1] With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. （运用了现在分词短语作状语以及省略关系代词的定语从句） [高分句型2] New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
