Instead she would move from shelf to shelf, and return with some books in her arms. She would sit on the edge of my bed, describing each in a few words. My mother used books as a form of communication. It wasn’t simply the exchange I’ve just described — her giving me books she’d read and loved as a child, and hoping I would love them too — but the words in the books themselves. If we drove towards the Gladesville Bridge at night, the lights of cars streaming down, she would quote her favourite poet, who described headlights on the bridge as "the immaculate sigh of stars". To her, books gave voice to what she noticed. My mother’s gift for noticing small moments reflected an important quality: she deeply valued sensory details. She was always pointing them out to me, like young ducks, the fluff (绒毛) all over their bodies pale yellow, as though they wore bath towels. I didn’t realise it then, but those moments were quietly shaping the way I would later understand the world. Now as a literature teacher, I value sensory details as well. I often find myself encouraging my students to notice them, just as my mother once encouraged me. When talking about the Harry Potter series, I ask my students to consider whether it’s the lists of richly imagined foods, the all-flavour jellybeans and the butter beer that are the books’ real attraction. Only now do I realise how much of my mother I carry with me. What stays with me is not the titles she chose or the quotes she gave, but the habit of looking closely at the world. Borrowing lines from the books to describe our own lives, we’re adding depth to what we’ve seen or felt or heard. 24. What did the mother use to relieve the writer’s boredom? A. Television. B. Phones. C. Books. D. Food. 25. Why did the mother quote “the immaculate sigh of stars”? A. To vividly describe a small moment. B. To briefly explain a bridge structure. C. To express her love for the universe. D. To talk about her most beloved poet. 26. What does the writer emphasize in her teaching? A. Challenging literary classics. B. Paying mindful attention to details. C. Quoting the Harry Potter series. D. Developing creative imagination. 27. What does the writer learn from her mother? A. Poetic writing techniques. B. Vital communication skills. C. A method of self-reflection. D. A habit of close observation. C Imagine standing in front of a supermarket shelf with 40 types of jam. You might think more choices would make you happier, but research suggests otherwise. The “Paradox of Choice” is a fascinating concept that has interested sociologists for decades. On the surface, more options seem to offer more satisfaction. Living in an age with various choices should in theory make our lives better. However, research has shown that this huge variety can lead to “decision paralysis,” where we get stuck with so many options that we can hardly make up our minds. In fact, too many choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions. Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that people who are presented with too many options tend to become “maximizers” — individuals who keep trying to find the best choice. They compare every feature, price, and possibility, often fearing that they might miss out on a better option. This leads to a state of constant regret, even before the decision is made, as they worry about what they might have overlooked. In contrast, “satisfiers” look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes. They don’t need the best option; they just need one that works for them. While maximizers are trapped in endless comparison, satisfiers are content because they aren’t troubled by the fear of making the wrong choice. Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a “never-ending comparison machine.” We no longer just compare ourselves to our neighbors; we also compare our lives to edited, idealized versions of social influencers around the world. This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions. To address this, some experts recommend voluntary limitation. By consciously limiting our choices, whether it’s through a minimalist wardrobe (衣柜) or a simplified diet, we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stops us from deciding easily. The goal is not to have less, but to free up space for what truly matters to us. By intentionally narrowing our options, we can make more room for meaningful experiences. 28. What is the author’s attitude to diverse choices? A. Critical. B. Enthusiastic. C. Dismissive. D. Defensive. 29. What is a typical behavior of a “satisfier”? A. Feeling satisfied with every choice. B. Making quick decisions naturally. C. Seeking the perfect option constantly. D. Caring much about online comparisons. 30. What role does social media play in the paradox of choice? A. It helps people find better deals online. B. It simplifies the decision-making process. C. It provides a realistic view of others’ lives. D. It fuels dissatisfaction with one’s own choices. 31. What does “voluntary limitation” imply in the last paragraph? A. A lack of digital resources. B. A loss of personal freedom. C. A strategic reduction of choices. D. A temporary break from technology. D Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for the most attractive and exciting jobs. Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience. In fact, the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most. Far from weakening star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all types of media, at all times. This isn’t the first time that technology has changed the rules of the fame game. People started talking about stars in the 18th century when the widespread access to reading materials made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime. Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars, who worried their live performances would be devalued. In fact, those technologies started the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s. A similar worry greeted the invention of television. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room. As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business, artists and entertainment professionals are worrying once more that their fame will be reduced — and again, the outcome is likely to be the opposite. These opportunities come with conditions attached. Artists are right to worry about copyright, which must be protected if AI is not to become a legalised form of piracy. Until these copyright concerns are addressed, AI will be a legal Wild West. The bigger question is how the age of the all-around superstar will appeal to audiences. The risk is boredom. AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that, for now, remains a human specialty. Yet the entertainment market is highly self-correcting. Audiences have the power to turn a hot hit into a has-been one in an instant, as stars are all too aware. While AI-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to enjoy human drama. Sport, perhaps the most AI-proof, real-life event there is, has seen its value to media companies rise in recent years. 32. What is the primary concern of stars in paragraph 1? A. The inability to master AI. B. The low level of their acting skills. C. The decline in their popularity. D. The improvement of audience’s taste. 33. Why does the author mention “film, radio and television”? A. To show the difficulties facing the stars then. B. To prove the techno-panic is common in history. C. To confirm AI will surely come into every family. D. To predict the trend of the technological development. 34. How can superstars attract audience according to the text? A. By avoiding the use of AI. B. By cooperating with directors. C. By learning more advanced technologies. D. By improving content creation. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The era of AI is around the corner. B. AI creates a brand-new entertainment industry. C. AI makes stars worried and audience demanding. D. AI is more of a helper than an imagined threat to stars. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南航苏州附中2026-2027学年第一学期高二年级10月限时练习 英 语 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段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，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。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Which club will Kate join?

C 【解析】 【原文】For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I am Kendra Pierre. Scientists have added the first insect to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s Frozen Zoo in California. Researchers successfully collected cells of the critically endangered Lord Howe Island stick insect and added them to the biological bank, which is dedicated to protecting and preserving the world’s wildlife. The Lord Howe Island stick insect is a large, flightless creature without a backbone. It can be found only on a small group of islands in Australia. They were considered extinct in the wild in 1930, but a tiny population was rediscovered in 2001. The Melbourne Zoo in Australia led the effort to preserve the species and partnered with the San Diego Zoo in 2012. The Frozen Zoo, which was established in 1975, also holds samples from more than 1,300 species and subspecies of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and plants. The samples are frozen, using a method called cryopreservation and stored at -320° F. Scientists could one day revive the cells to stop a species from going extinct. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Atlanta Botanical Garden-This Month at the Garden Atlanta Botanical Garden is the go-to destination in the heart of Atlanta for plant lovers and families alike.

(在花园内，长叶餐厅提供一个带空调的现代用餐环境，让您享受完整的坐享式餐饮体验，是放松休憩的理想之选。)”可知，Longleaf Restaurant提供了舒适的用餐环境。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Guests must enter through the correct entrance to receive the hourly rate with proof of admission. (客人必须通过正确入口进入，并出示入场凭证，方可享受按小时计费的费用。)”可知，需出示入场证明才能享受小时费率。 B Whenever I complained that I was bored, my mother would not hand me a phone or switch on the television. Instead she would move from shelf to shelf, and return with some books in her arms. She would sit on the edge of my bed, describing each in a few words. My mother used books as a form of communication. It wasn’t simply the exchange I’ve just described — her giving me books she’d read and loved as a child, and hoping I would love them too — but the words in the books themselves. If we drove towards the Gladesville Bridge at night, the lights of cars streaming down, she would quote her favourite poet, who described headlights on the bridge as "the immaculate sigh of stars". To her, books gave voice to what she noticed. My mother’s gift for noticing small moments reflected an important quality: she deeply valued sensory details. She was always pointing them out to me, like young ducks, the fluff (绒毛) all over their bodies pale yellow, as though they wore bath towels. I didn’t realise it then, but those moments were quietly shaping the way I would later understand the world. Now as a literature teacher, I value sensory details as well. I often find myself encouraging my students to notice them, just as my mother once encouraged me. When talking about the Harry Potter series, I ask my students to consider whether it’s the lists of richly imagined foods, the all-flavour jellybeans and the butter beer that are the books’ real attraction. Only now do I realise how much of my mother I carry with me. What stays with me is not the titles she chose or the quotes she gave, but the habit of looking closely at the world. Borrowing lines from the books to describe our own lives, we’re adding depth to what we’ve seen or felt or heard. 24. What did the mother use to relieve the writer’s boredom? A. Television. B. Phones. C. Books. D. Food. 25. Why did the mother quote “the immaculate sigh of stars”? A. To vividly describe a small moment. B. To briefly explain a bridge structure. C. To express her love for the universe. D. To talk about her most beloved poet. 26. What does the writer emphasize in her teaching? A. Challenging literary classics. B. Paying mindful attention to details. C. Quoting the Harry Potter series. D. Developing creative imagination. 27. What does the writer learn from her mother? A. Poetic writing techniques. B. Vital communication skills. C. A method of self-reflection. D. A habit of close observation. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者的母亲从小用书籍与作者交流，引导作者关注生活中的感官细节，而这些经历深刻地影响了作者，使作者成为文学教师后也将这种细致观察世界的习惯传递给了自己的学生。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I complained that I was bored, my mother would not hand me a phone or switch on the television. Instead she would move from shelf to shelf, and return with some books in her arms.(每当我抱怨无聊时，我妈妈不会递给我手机或打开电视。相反，她会从一个书架走到另一个书架，抱回一些书。)”可知，妈妈用书籍来缓解作者的无聊。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If we drove towards the Gladesville Bridge at night, the lights of cars streaming down, she would quote her favourite poet, who described headlights on the bridge as "the immaculate sigh of stars". To her, books gave voice to what she noticed. (如果我们在夜晚开车驶向Gladesville大桥，车灯如流水般倾泻而下，她会引用她最喜欢的诗人的话，将桥上的车灯描述为“星星完美的叹息”。对她来说，书籍赋予了她所注意到的一切以声音。)”可知，母亲引用她最喜欢的诗人的话，将桥上的车灯描述为“星星完美的叹息”，对母亲来说，书籍赋予了她所注意到的一切以声音，可推理出妈妈引用这句话是为了用诗意而生动的方式描述车灯在桥上流动的那一瞬间，即生动地描绘一个微小的瞬间。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Now as a literature teacher, I value sensory details as well. I often find myself encouraging my students to notice them, just as my mother once encouraged me. (现在作为一名文学教师，我也重视感官细节。我经常发现自己在鼓励学生去关注它们，就像我妈妈曾经鼓励我一样。)”可知，作者在教学中强调的是让学生用心关注细节。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What stays with me is not the titles she chose or the quotes she gave, but the habit of looking closely at the world.(留在我心中的不是她选择的书名或她引用的话，而是仔细观察世界的习惯。)”可知，作者从母亲那里学到的是一种仔细观察的习惯。 C Imagine standing in front of a supermarket shelf with 40 types of jam. You might think more choices would make you happier, but research suggests otherwise. The “Paradox of Choice” is a fascinating concept that has interested sociologists for decades. On the surface, more options seem to offer more satisfaction. Living in an age with various choices should in theory make our lives better. However, research has shown that this huge variety can lead to “decision paralysis,” where we get stuck with so many options that we can hardly make up our minds. In fact, too many choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions. Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that people who are presented with too many options tend to become “maximizers” — individuals who keep trying to find the best choice. They compare every feature, price, and possibility, often fearing that they might miss out on a better option. This leads to a state of constant regret, even before the decision is made, as they worry about what they might have overlooked. In contrast, “satisfiers” look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes. They don’t need the best option; they just need one that works for them. While maximizers are trapped in endless comparison, satisfiers are content because they aren’t troubled by the fear of making the wrong choice. Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a “never-ending comparison machine.” We no longer just compare ourselves to our neighbors; we also compare our lives to edited, idealized versions of social influencers around the world. This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions. To address this, some experts recommend voluntary limitation. By consciously limiting our choices, whether it’s through a minimalist wardrobe (衣柜) or a simplified diet, we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stops us from deciding easily. The goal is not to have less, but to free up space for what truly matters to us. By intentionally narrowing our options, we can make more room for meaningful experiences. 28. What is the author’s attitude to diverse choices? A. Critical. B. Enthusiastic. C. Dismissive. D. Defensive. 29. What is a typical behavior of a “satisfier”? A. Feeling satisfied with every choice. B. Making quick decisions naturally. C. Seeking the perfect option constantly. D. Caring much about online comparisons. 30. What role does social media play in the paradox of choice? A. It helps people find better deals online. B. It simplifies the decision-making process. C. It provides a realistic view of others’ lives. D. It fuels dissatisfaction with one’s own choices. 31. What does “voluntary limitation” imply in the last paragraph? A. A lack of digital resources. B. A loss of personal freedom. C. A strategic reduction of choices. D. A temporary break from technology. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】该文介绍选择悖论：过多选择易让人纠结、遗憾。完美主义者不断对比，而知足者更快乐；社交媒体加剧此问题，主动精简选择能减轻精神负担。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, research has shown that this huge variety can lead to “decision paralysis,” where we get stuck with so many options that we can hardly make up our minds. In fact, too many choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions.(然而，研究表明，这种巨大的选择多样性可能导致“决策瘫痪”，即我们面对太多选项而难以做出决定。事实上，过多的选择会降低我们对决策的整体满意度)”可知，作者指出过多的选择会导致“决策瘫痪”并降低人们的整体满意度。随后文章通篇都在分析过多选择带来的负面影响并提出应对建议。可知，作者对多样化选择（过多的选择）持批判态度。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In contrast, “satisfiers” look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes. They don’t need the best option; they just need one that works for them. They are content with their choices because they aren’t paralyzed by the possibility of making the wrong one.(与之相反，满足型决策者只挑选能满足自身基本需求的事物，往往对最终选择更满意。他们不必追求最优选项，只求合适可用即可。他们对自己的选择心怀知足，不会因担心选错而犹豫不决。)”可知，知足型决策者的典型做法是不会陷入选择瘫痪，自然快速做决定。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a “never-ending comparison machine.” We no longer just compare ourselves to our neighbors; we also compare our lives to edited, idealized versions of social influencers around the world. This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions.(社交媒体充当了一台 “永不停歇的比较机器”，让这一矛盾变得愈发严重。我们不再只是和身边邻居攀比；我们还会把自己的生活，拿来和全球网红们经过修饰、理想化的版本作对比。持续不断地看到这些更美好的参照样本，只会加剧我们对自身选择的不满。)”可知，社交媒体作为一个“永无止境的比较机器”，加剧了人们对自身选择的不满。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中对该词的解释“By consciously limiting our choices, whether it’s through a minimalist wardrobe (衣柜) or a simplified diet, we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stops us from deciding easily. The goal is not to have less, but to free up space for what truly matters to us. By intentionally narrowing our options, we can make more room for meaningful experiences.(通过有意识地限制选择 —— 无论是精简衣橱，还是简化饮食，我们都能减轻阻碍我们轻松做决定的不必要的心理压力。这样做的目的不是拥有更少东西，而是为对我们真正重要的事物腾出空间。主动缩小选择范围，我们就能为有意义的经历留出更多余地)”可知，“自愿限制”指的是有策略、有意识地减少选择，从而减轻心理压力。 D Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for the most attractive and exciting jobs. Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience. In fact, the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most. Far from weakening star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all types of media, at all times. This isn’t the first time that technology has changed the rules of the fame game. People started talking about stars in the 18th century when the widespread access to reading materials made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime. Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars, who worried their live performances would be devalued. In fact, those technologies started the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s. A similar worry greeted the invention of television. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room. As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business, artists and entertainment professionals are worrying once more that their fame will be reduced — and again, the outcome is likely to be the opposite. These opportunities come with conditions attached. Artists are right to worry about copyright, which must be protected if AI is not to become a legalised form of piracy. Until these copyright concerns are addressed, AI will be a legal Wild West. The bigger question is how the age of the all-around superstar will appeal to audiences. The risk is boredom. AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that, for now, remains a human specialty. Yet the entertainment market is highly self-correcting. Audiences have the power to turn a hot hit into a has-been one in an instant, as stars are all too aware. While AI-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to enjoy human drama. Sport, perhaps the most AI-proof, real-life event there is, has seen its value to media companies rise in recent years. 32. What is the primary concern of stars in paragraph 1? A. The inability to master AI. B. The low level of their acting skills. C. The decline in their popularity. D. The improvement of audience’s taste. 33. Why does the author mention “film, radio and television”? A. To show the difficulties facing the stars then. B. To prove the techno-panic is common in history. C. To confirm AI will surely come into every family. D. To predict the trend of the technological development. 34. How can superstars attract audience according to the text? A. By avoiding the use of AI. B. By cooperating with directors. C. By learning more advanced technologies. D. By improving content creation. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The era of AI is around the corner. B. AI creates a brand-new entertainment industry. C. AI makes stars worried and audience demanding. D. AI is more of a helper than an imagined threat to stars. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了AI对明星和娱乐行业的影响，指出尽管明星们担心AI会威胁他们的地位，但实际上AI将使他们更加出名，因为它能让明星无处不在。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience. (明星们可能会担心，AI正在窃取他们的工作，并让那些才华稍逊的表演者获得技能，从而抢走他们的观众)”可知，明星们的主要担忧是受欢迎程度的下降。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars, who worried their live performances would be devalued. In fact, those technologies started the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s. A similar worry greeted the invention of television. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room. (电影和广播最初似乎对明星构成了威胁，他们担心自己的现场表演会因此贬值。然而事实上，这些技术开启了超级明星的时代，这一术语在20世纪20年代开始流行。电视的发明也引发了类似的担忧。但再一次，新技术使名人更加出名，将他们带入了每个家庭的客厅)”可知，电影、广播和电视这些新技术出现时，也被明星视为威胁，但最终却使明星更加出名。因此，作者提到这些技术是为了证明技术恐慌在历史上是常见的。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that, for now, remains a human specialty. (AI在重新混合和重复旧材料方面非常出色，但在创造令人兴奋的内容方面却不太擅长，而目前这仍然是人类的专长)”可知，超级明星可以通过提高内容创作来吸引观众。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“In fact, the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most. Far from weakening star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all types of media, at all times. (事实上，对新科技抱怨最强烈的人恰恰是那些最有可能从中受益的人。AI不仅不会削弱明星的影响力，反而会让那些最大的明星变得比以往更加耀眼，因为它使他们能够随时随地出现在所有市场和各类媒体中)”可知，文章主要讨论了AI对明星的影响，指出AI不仅不会削弱明星的力量，反而会扩大明星的影响力。因此，对于明星而言，AI更像是一个帮手，而不是想象中的威胁。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs.____36____. It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas. Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile.____37____, helping us to learn about the past. Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. ____38____. They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys. _____39_____. Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity. As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging.____40____. A. Both types of art take skills to make B. Photographs preserve faces of folks from long ago C. Grasping abstract art demands more artistic training D. Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty E. In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances F. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life G. Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. G 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以两种艺术：现实主义艺术和抽象艺术为主题。讲述了各自的特点，在表现形式方面的各自特点形成了艺术世界的多样性和美的价值。 【36题详解】 根据后文“It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.(它更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。)”并结合常识可知，该句的主题是抽象艺术，因此可推知，设空句的主题也应是抽象艺术，以衔接呼应后文的“It”。选项E“In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances(相比之下，抽象艺术较少关注现实的外观)”提出了主题“抽象艺术”，呼应“It”，同时“In contrast”可与前文构成对比关系，前后衔接紧密。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile.(以《蒙娜丽莎》为例，这是一幅现实主义画，画的是一位带着神秘微笑的女士。)”可知，设空句应对这个《蒙娜丽莎》的举例进行总结，并体现现实主义艺术的特点。选项F“Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life(像这样的艺术品讲述了历史和日常生活的故事)”中“Artworks like this”指代前文的《蒙娜丽莎》，且讲述了现实主义艺术的特点，与后文“helping us to learn about the past(帮助我们了解过去)”在内容上衔接紧密。故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative.(与现实主义艺术不同，抽象艺术更注重创造性。)”可知，该段在讲述抽象艺术的特点。设空句承接前文，应是对抽象艺术的特点“创造性”进行进一步解释。选项G“Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations(艺术家有超越现实生活表现的自由)”中“超越现实生活表现的自由”即为前文提及的“创造性”的进一步解释，同时呼应后文“They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas.(他们用形状、颜色和图案来表达感情和想法。)”的“不同形状，颜色和图案”，前后衔接紧密。故选G项。 【39题详解】 设空句为该段的首句，应是该段的中心主旨句。根据后文“Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways.(现实主义艺术需要精确的绘画或雕刻，使事物看起来真实。抽象艺术需要想象力，以新的方式使用形状和颜色。)”可知，该段讲述的核心内容是两种艺术各自需要的技巧以及艺术家们对两种艺术的应用。选项A“Both types of art take skills to make(这两种类型的艺术都需要技巧)”提出两种艺术都需要技巧，可总结该段的核心内容，作为该段的首句。故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging.(这两种艺术共同使艺术世界多样化和引人入胜。)”可知，作为末尾部分，前文以及设空句应是对两种艺术形式的褒义总结。选项D“Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty(两种艺术创作方式都有各自的价值和美)”总结了各自的价值和美，与前文在句意上衔接紧密，可作为末尾句。故选D项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ivy Lawrence never planned to become a farmer, yet life guided her onto this path.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿简梦想成为歌手，在她的音乐老师玛丽的帮助下，简为了她的梦想努力取得进步。突然有一天，简遭遇了车祸，以后都不能自己站起来了，必须坐轮椅四处走动，简再也没有提过唱歌的话题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，玛丽带来了好消息。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽告诉简希望她代表班级唱歌，简在玛丽的帮助下继续练习，终于可以展示自己了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当主持人宣布轮到简时，她被推上了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写简的歌声得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，简重新找回了最初追求梦想的信心。 2.续写线索：好消息——简怀疑自己——练习唱歌——开始表演——得到赞扬——找到信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：expect/hope/wish ②回答：respond/reply/answer ③保证：assure/guarantee/ensure 情绪类 ①眼睛闪闪发光：eyes sparkle/eyes glitter ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1]As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语课听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。International friends club. can I help you?
