But it's Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts the unknown creature当兔子听到一个巨大的声音从山洞里威胁地咆哮时，他聚集了猫、熊和象来帮助他决定该做什么，但是青蛙妈妈勇敢地面对未知的生物，可知青蛙妈妈的勇气是非常的鼓舞人的，因此该故事讲述了勇气的故事。故选B。  23. 推理判断题。根据文章内容Secrets I Know (Random House Children's Books, ages 3—7)，Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3—7)，Prince and Pirate (G. P. Putnam's Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5—8)和The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3—5)可知，这4部书都是针对3到8岁的儿童的，故选C。 B 24~27. 语篇解读  本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了意大利艺术家Isabella Ducrot大器晚成，年过半百开始创作，其作品充满生命力与自由精神，展现了晚年依然蓬勃的创造力，打破了人们对年龄和性别的刻板认知。 24.细节理解题。根据第二段中“She often adds pieces of other papers or fabrics to create pictures. Her works, typically made in series, feature joyful figures, simple landscapes, and repeating patterns like ovals(椭圆) and squares.”可知，Ducrot的艺术作品以重复图案和混合材料为特色。故选D。 25.推理判断题。根据第三段中“These experiences and materials now provide both the physical and conceptual foundation for her work.”可知，她的旅行经历和收集的纺织品为她的作品提供了物质和概念基础，由此可推知，旅行给她带来了艺术灵感。故选C。 26. 推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知，她的创作方式和使用的混合材料展现了突破传统的创造力；根据第四段中“I think life, for women, begins at sixty”“ Because then we begin to be free.”以及作品传递的自由感可知，她追求自由。且文章最后一句也是提示。故选A。 27.主旨大意题。根据全文尤其最后一段中“she shows us a simple truth: even in lifeˈs later years, creativity can not only survive but blossom with unexpected freedom and power”可知，Ducrot五十多岁才开始艺术创作，却在晚年获得国际认可，这向我们传达了一个简单的道理：即使是在晚年，创造力也可以绽放。由此可知，选项C“开启人生新篇章永远不晚”最契合这一主题。故选C。 C 28~31. 【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。本文主要论述了音乐教育的重要性，反驳了将艺术学科视为次要的短视观点，强调音乐在传递文化、表达情感和塑造人性方面的独特价值。 28.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). ( 人们似乎会说，音乐很好，但并不重要。它经常被视为纯粹的娱乐，而不是教育的重点。)”可知，人们（包括学生）常把音乐仅仅视为娱乐，而不是重要的教育内容。故选 A项。 29.推理判断题。根据第二段中，作者提到“The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. ( 乔治·格什温和其他音乐家引入他们音乐的爵士乐影响显然是美国的，因为它来自美国的音乐传统。)”可知，作者以爵士乐为例，是为了说明音乐反映了它所来自的社会环境，即“show music reflects a society”（表明音乐反映一个社会）。故选B项。 30.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. ( 科学可以解释太阳如何升起和落下。艺术探索同一现象的情感意义。我们需要每一种可能的方式来发现和回应我们的世界，原因简单而有力：没有一种方式可以得到一切。)”可知，科学解释太阳升起和落下的方式，而艺术探索同一现象的情感意义，说明艺术和科学从不同的角度来认识世界。故选A项。 31主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇指出人们不重视音乐教育，认为音乐不重要，只是娱乐，然后从音乐能反映我们是谁、音乐提供独特的感知方式等方面阐述了音乐教育的益处和重要性，最后强调“So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.”（所以音乐教育远比人们意识到的更有必要。），即音乐教育应得到更多关注，A选项“Music education deserves more attention”（音乐教育值得更多关注。）符合文章主旨。故选A项。 D 32~35. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了观赏视觉艺术对提升个人福祉的积极作用，并介绍了相关研究及其在公共卫生领域的应用前景。 32.细节理解题。根据第二段中的This study examined decades of... is used to promote well-being.可知，与以前零散的研究相比，这项新的研究是彻底且全面的。 33.推理判断题。根据第三段中的The review of 38previously published... and Humboldt University of Berlin.可知，研究人员是通过回顾和综述先前的研究来得出新结论的。 34.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的This research...everyday environments and public health strategies可知，这项研究的意义在于指出了将艺术应用于日常医疗保健和公共卫生策略的可能性。 35推理判断题。根据最后一段中Claire Howlin的话Yet visual art is present... through everyday encounters with art.可推断，我们在日常生活中应当充分利用触手可及的视觉艺术来促进健康。 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36~40. 【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作者作为一名专业艺术家，在创作过程中获得灵感的一些建议和方法。 36.上文引出话题，提到获得灵感。根据下文提出的两个问题可知，空处也应为相应的问句，构成并列结构。B项承接上文，符合语境。 37.下文提到作者去户外做的事情。E项和下文内容紧密衔接，下文是对空处内容的语意递进，符合语境。 38.上文讲述出门拍摄素材的具体行为；下文提到能力提升。C项承上启下，符合语境。 39.上文提到搜索互联网寻找灵感；下文用“No”转折，强调并非模仿他人。G项承上启下，符合语境。 40.上文提到作者最喜欢的一本书；下文提到对这本书的积极评价。D项承接上文，并与下文形成递进，符合语境。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分 30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15小题;每小题 1分，满分15分) 41~55. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了作者让孩子背诗来克服害羞情绪，现在“最害羞”的孩子和外向的孩子一样渴望大声朗读，享受到了语言的美。 41. 句意：我停了下来，因为其中一个正在向我挥手。A.stopped停止；B.breathed呼吸；C.argued争论；D.reflected反射。根据because one of them was waving his hand at me.可知，作者因为有学生挥手而停止解释gossamer的含义，故选A。 42. 句意：有一次我被蜘蛛网缠住了，因为我没看见它。A.or或者；B.until直到；C.because因为；D.although尽管。根据句意，前后是因果关系，故选C。 43. 句意：我也可以用gossamer来形容害羞的小孩子的声音。A.curious好奇的；B.shy害羞的；C.intelligent聪明的；D.anxious焦虑的。根据下文I can only hear them when I am close enough.

P. Putnam's Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5—8)     A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium. At first it seems that they'll never learn to be friends. It's only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.     The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3—5)     The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud threatening voice coming from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But it's Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts the unknown creature. Helen Oxenbury's soft watercolors create a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive. 21.Who pictured the book Pandora? A. Kallie George B. Charlotte Gunnufson C.

B Isabella Ducrot, an Italian artist born in 1931, is becoming internationally famous for her art only recently, even though she didnˈt start creating it until she was in her fifties. Ducrot creates her art by standing and sweeping loose strokes of ink or paint onto paper or fabric(布料), sometimes using a brush attached to a stick. She often adds pieces of other papers or fabrics to create pictures. Her works, typically made in series, feature joyful figures, simple landscapes, and repeating patterns like ovals(椭圆) and squares. Full of life, color, and a sense of freedom, her art feels so fresh and energetic that a museum in France has called her, in a surprising way, "a young artist with a young career". Ducrotˈs art is deeply rooted in her life experiences. For years, she and her late husband ran a luxury travel business, journeying from India to Afghanistan and gathering a unique collection of rare textiles(纺织品). These experiences and materials now provide both the physical and conceptual foundation for her work. She brings importance to humble cloths—the kind "used to protect, wrap, wash and care for the body"—by incorporating(纳入) them into her art, making us reconsider the boundaries between fine art and the art of everyday life. Her late success strongly goes against common ideas about older people, especially older women. As one expert points out, we often give older women "the unclear, and often fading, quality of wisdom", meaning their creative and personal growth has stopped. Ducrotˈs clearly emotional work shows this is not true. "I think life, for women, begins at sixty," she says. "Because then we begin to be free." In her Roman palazzo, Isabella Ducrot continues her daily work, watching as the figures in her "Tenderness" series slowly emerge from the cloth. Just like her art, her own life is a masterpiece that is still unfolding. With each brushstroke she paints and piece of fabric she adds, she shows us a simple truth: even in lifeˈs later years, creativity can not only survive but blossom with unexpected freedom and power. 24.What can we know about Ducrotˈs art? A. It shows complex historical scenes. B. It creates a sense of calm and peacefulness. C. It is created using digital tools and software. D. It features repetitive patterns and mixed materials. 25.What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. She keeps art separate from daily life. B. Her art is mainly based on imagination. C. Her travels provided artistic inspiration. D. She believes everyday fabrics are unworthy. 26.Which of the following can best describe Ducrot? A. Creative and free. B. Energetic and generous. C. Traditional and reserved. D. Determined and imaginative. 27.What message does Ducrotˈs story convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Where thereˈs a will, there is a way. C. Itˈs never too late to start a new chapter in life. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. Music provides a kind of perception(感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize. 28.According to Paragraph 1, students ______. A. regard music as a way of entertainment B. disagree with their parents on education C. view music as an overlooked subject D. prefer the arts to science 29.In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ______. A. compare it with rock music B. show music reflects a society C. introduce American musical traditions D. prove music influences people's lifestyles 30.According to the passage, the arts and science ______. A. approach the world from different angles B. explore different phenomena of the world C. express people's feelings in different ways D. explain what it means to be human differently 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Music education deserves more attention． B. Music should be of top education priority． C. Music is an effective communication tool． D. Music education makes students more imaginative． D The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can improve your well-being, a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery. Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and the findings were different, the authors say. This study examined decades of scattered（零散的）research, providing for the first time a clear and all-sided overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. The review of 38 previously published studies covering a total of 6,805 participants was conducted by a team of psychologists from University of Vienna, Trinity College Dublin, and Humboldt University of Berlin. The study found that viewing art can improve well-being, which is associated with meaning in life and personal growth. These benefits were noticed in a variety of locations—in museums and galleries as well as clinics and hospital settings and also through the medium of virtual reality. A wide range of art types including abstract, modern paintings, photography and sculpture were found to promote well-being. “People often think of art as a luxury（奢侈品）, but our research suggest that viewing art—whether as a hobby or as a targeted health intervention—can meaningfully support well-being. This research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies,” said MacKenzie Trupp, lead author and researcher at the University of Vienna and Radboud UMC, Donders Institute. Claire Howlin, Assistant Professor, School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin, added: “While the mental health benefits of creating art have been widely explored, the impact of viewing art has been under-researched and undervalued. Yet visual art is present and accessible in everyday spaces—museums, galleries, hospitals, and at home. Understanding its effects can unlock new avenues for promoting well-being through everyday encounters with art.” 32.What characterizes the new study compared with the previous research? （） A. Thorough. B. Original. C. One-sided. D. Limited. 33.How did the researchers draw the new conclusion? （） A. By reviewing previous research. B. By performing scores of experiments. C. By interviewing thousands of participants. D. By keeping track of experimental subjects. 34.What is the significance of the study? （） A. It puts forward the theory behind art viewing. B. It proves art viewing as a simple way of communicating. C. It lays the foundation of creative approaches to curing patients. D. It points out the possibility of applying art to routine health care. 35.What can be inferred from Claire Howlinˈs words? （） A. The effect of viewing art has fully been explored. B. Daily encounter with art is the key to improving health. C. Promoting peopleˈs appreciation of art is a crucial task. D. Visual art should be fully taken advantage of in daily lives. 第二节 七选五(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。 As a professional artist, people ask me all the time where I get inspiration.       (36)      Favorite artists? Where do you find reference (参考) photos? Whether youˈre painting flowers, abstracts or landscapes, staying inspired is the key to always creating new work and discovering your own unique style.     (37)        Iˈll bring my phone along, and take my own reference photos and videos of flowers I see, interesting color palettes (主要色彩) in the sky or landscapes.      (38)       While youˈre outside, you become more of a discoverer when it comes to colors and subject matter. If thereˈs a particular subject I know I need to paint or some color inspiration I canˈt find in my local area, Iˈll search the Internet.       (39)      NO. Iˈm talking about finding travel photos, nature photos, etc. and creating mood boards that evoke (唤起) a certain theme youˈre going for. This step is huge for trend forecasting and creating work thatˈs truly inspired and not a recreation. Sometimes books are my great inspiration. And my favorite book for digging yourself out of a creative rut (一成不变的状态) is The Artistˈs Way.     (40)        Itˈs a game-changer! I also love referencing one of my favorites, Flowers of the World. This is a beautiful book thatˈs opened my eyes to many species of plants that Iˈve never even heard of. A．What are your favorite art books? B．Why do we need to find inspiration?

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus!" She shouted. "Ridiculous! Don't believe it." That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.      "Now, put on your coat, and let's go."     "Go where, Grandma?" I asked. "Where" turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. "Take this money." she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car." Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.      I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten﹣dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock's grade﹣two class.      Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.      "Is this a Christmas present for someone?" the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. "Yes."      The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.     Paragraph 1:     That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________     Paragraph 2:     Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker's front door to open and finally it opened. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ​​​​​​ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
