I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick? It could truly be our family’s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he’d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn’t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I’d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women’s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters’ Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn’t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love— just like Peter would have wanted.
4. What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come?
A. To go out to have dinner. B. To order pizza.
C. To show off his cooking skills. D. To cook a big dinner for his family.
5. The text tells us that ____________.
A. the Easter dinner was the family’s last dinner
B. Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner
C. Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love
D. their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure
6. By saying “I’d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4, the author means __________.
A. she wasn’t confident in cooking the Easter dinner
B. she was not able to eat a lot of food
C. the Easter dinner made her sick
D. she couldn’t cook the dinner alone
7. What might be the best title for the text ?
A. Cooking in the Kitchen B. Filling Peter’s Shoes
C. Happy Easter Day D. Terrible Cooks
C
Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can become a handsome animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys. Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of a wonderful artwork with just a few taps of the keyboard.
However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them and they can satisfy users’ curiosity.
So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting? In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI.
“Though AI technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible, because AI is already involved deeply into the lives of human beings.
8. What can ordinary people achieve with AI art generators in a few seconds?
A. Learn advanced painting skills.
B. Sell their paintings for huge profits.
C. Replace professional artists completely.
D. Create impressive artworks without drawing ability.
9. What is Ding Daoshi’s attitude toward AI replacing human artists?
A. Human creativity and warmth are irreplaceable.
B. AI will soon replace humans completely.
C. AI is superior to humans in every way.
D. AI lacks commercial value.
10. What does the underlined phrase “gray area” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. A dark shadow. B. A colorful picture.
C. An unclear or undecided situation. D. A hidden place.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The End of Human Artists
B. AI Art Generators: Innovation and Controversy
C. How to Sell AI Paintings Online
D. AI Art: Fast, Fun and Perfect
D
Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive(认知的)selection that fix certain words into the dictionary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, scientists investigated just that.
In an experiment much like a game of telephone, thousands of participants read English-language stories and rewrote them to be read by other participants, who then rewrote them for others. Only certain words from the first stories survived in the final versions. Researchers analyzed the word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time. The scientists also separately analyzed two large collections of English historical texts from the past two centuries, containing more than 40 billion words — again seeing only certain types survive.
The results show three features that give words an “evolutionary(进化的)advantage” by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as "hand" "uncle" or "today") are stabler. Next, concrete words remain better than abs tract ones: "dog" persists longer than "animal", which persists longer than "organism". Lastly, emotionally exciting words — whether negative or positive — tend to continue to exist.
Early language-evolution models assumed that language becomes increasingly complex over time. But Indiana University Bloomington cognitive scientist Fritz Breithaupt says the new study supports a more recent theory that language finally gets more efficient and easier to understand.
Still, as the study notes, "the English language is not baby talk." Breithaupt explains: "We shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need." New words that address the complexity of modern life may somewhat balance out this shift.
12. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To find out why language gradually shifts over time.
B. To present society is a key factor in language change.
C. To identify how cognitive selection affects language change.
D. To figure out what words are easily included in the dictionary.
13. What were the participants asked to do during the experiment?
A. Play games on the phone. B. Read stories to other participants.
C. Rewrite what they read for others. D. Analyze the words they prefer to use.
14. Which words have the most evolutionary advantage according to the new study?
A. Head, imagination and happy. B. Mouth, horse and disappointed.
C. Insect, fortune and competition. D. Soccer, organism and adventure.
15. What is Fritz Breithaupt's attitude towards the new study?
A. Tolerant. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

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。
Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. ____16____ Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.
One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. ____17____
The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach. ____18____” said Shaokao Cheng, co-founder of a luxury design company. As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel.
____19____ Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.
Study the art market, but not too closely.____20____ While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.
A. Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.
B. Then in time, you will find something that you love.
C. These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.
D. I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions.
E. That physical response shows more than any trend ever could.
F. Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks.
G. Online markets have overturned how people appreciate and buy art.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people ____21____ I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a ____22____ person.
I think my ____23____ started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my ____24____ and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever talked to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really ____25____. It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a (n) ____26____. I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I ____27____ to help. That was really a big ____28____ for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of them are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new ____29____, however, came when I took a part-time job at Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my friend. Every time I came into her room, she was so ____30____ because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never ____31____ her, so I took her place. She let me ____32____ that making others feel good makes me feel good, too. When she died, I was ____33____, but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much ____34____ person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not forget these experiences. They have taught me to care about other people more than about myself. I ____35____ who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或所给单词的正确形式。
Everyone knows that success ____36____ (rare) happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of successful writers have previously faced rejection. Take J. K. Rowling ____37____ example. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a ____38____ (globe) success, with over 400 million books ____39____ (sell) and translated into more than seventy different languages. All too often writers of great works have had to face ____40____ (criticize) along with rejection and J. D. Salinger is a good example. Despite rejections, The Catcher in the Rye was eventually published, and it became ____41____ immediate best-seller. Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to Brontë sisters who dreamed of ____42____ (see) their words in print. As that was a time ____43____ women were not encouraged to become writers, they wrote a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, they didn’t give up and started writing novels, among which many ____44____ (regard) as classics of world literature today. So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough _____45_____ (guarantee) success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Living in the shadow of my elder sister who already had her life planned out since she entered middle school, I was always undecided about everything.
When I was in high school, I would still try one thing for a week and then abandon it in the next week. Although I kept searching for the beginning of the rainbow, I kept changing my dream from becoming a vet to an astronaut. I always thought there would be better options available to me. Each time, my parents would shake their heads and ask me, “Why can’t you be more like your sister? What are you going to do with your life? Aren’t you interested in anything at all?”
Each time, I would shrug (耸) my shoulders and my parents usually stopped talking, at least for the moment. I was not sure if they had given up or anticipated the same dull reply, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions right now.”
I knew my parents, just like other parents, had high expectation of me and that they really wanted me to achieve success. I also knew that my arguments were too childish.
“Your grades aren’t high enough. No good colleges are going to accept you, dear. We don’t want to pay so much money for nothing, either,” my mother said one day by the end of my second year in high school.
“Certainly, I will go to a good college,” I replied with as much confidence as I could summon. “No matter what you say.”
After the argument with my mother, I knew it was a crucial year at high school. I had to take action now. So, during the summer vacation, no longer did I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. Instead, I started to review all the knowledge I had learned and did it with all my heart. I also turned to my sister for help whenever necessary.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few days after the college entrance examination, I received a call from my teacher.

I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick? It could truly be our family’s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he’d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn’t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I’d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women’s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters’ Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn’t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love— just like Peter would have wanted.
4. What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come?
A. To go out to have dinner. B. To order pizza.
C. To show off his cooking skills. D. To cook a big dinner for his family.
5. The text tells us that ____________.
A. the Easter dinner was the family’s last dinner
B. Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner
C. Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love
D. their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure
6. By saying “I’d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4, the author means __________.
A. she wasn’t confident in cooking the Easter dinner
B. she was not able to eat a lot of food
C. the Easter dinner made her sick
D. she couldn’t cook the dinner alone
7. What might be the best title for the text ?
A. Cooking in the Kitchen B. Filling Peter’s Shoes
C. Happy Easter Day D. Terrible Cooks
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B

Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can become a handsome animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys. Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of a wonderful artwork with just a few taps of the keyboard.
However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them and they can satisfy users’ curiosity.
So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting? In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI.
“Though AI technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible, because AI is already involved deeply into the lives of human beings.
8. What can ordinary people achieve with AI art generators in a few seconds?
A. Learn advanced painting skills.
B. Sell their paintings for huge profits.
C. Replace professional artists completely.
D. Create impressive artworks without drawing ability.
9. What is Ding Daoshi’s attitude toward AI replacing human artists?
A. Human creativity and warmth are irreplaceable.
B. AI will soon replace humans completely.
C. AI is superior to humans in every way.
D. AI lacks commercial value.
10. What does the underlined phrase “gray area” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. A dark shadow. B. A colorful picture.
C. An unclear or undecided situation. D. A hidden place.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The End of Human Artists
B. AI Art Generators: Innovation and Controversy
C. How to Sell AI Paintings Online
D. AI Art: Fast, Fun and Perfect
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI艺术生成器风靡网络,提高了创作效率,同时也引发争议,它是否取代人类绘画?AI艺术作品版权归属归谁所有?
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of a wonderful artwork with just a few taps of the keyboard. (没有任何绘画技能的普通人,只需敲击几下键盘,就可以拥有一件精美的艺术品。)”可知,普通人在没有绘画能力的情况下,可以在几秒钟内用AI美术生成器创作出令人印象深刻的艺术品,故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘Though AI technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,’ said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector. (‘虽然人工智能技术发展迅速,但人工智能只能模仿人类的行为,无法取代人类。人类创造的温暖和灵感是不可替代的,’ 互联网行业独立分析师Ding Daoshi表示。)”可知,Ding Daoshi认为人类的创造力和热情是不可替代的,故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. (另一个有争议的问题是,谁拥有人工智能艺术的版权并没有达成共识。一些用户公开出售他们的人工智能画作并赚了钱,但这些艺术品究竟属于用户、数字工具开发者还是人工智能,仍然是一个灰色地带。)”可知,谁拥有人工智能艺术的版权并没有达成共识,由此推知“灰色地带”指“不清楚或未决定的情况”,故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第二段“However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated. (然而,新事物总是伴随着争议。人工智能美术生成器是否会取代人类艺术家,以及人工智能绘画的版权等问题正在引发激烈的争论。)”可知,文章主要介绍了AI艺术生成器风靡网络,提高了创作效率,同时也引发争议,B项“AI艺术生成器:创新与争议”为最佳标题,故选B。

Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive(认知的)selection that fix certain words into the dictionary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, scientists investigated just that.
In an experiment much like a game of telephone, thousands of participants read English-language stories and rewrote them to be read by other participants, who then rewrote them for others. Only certain words from the first stories survived in the final versions. Researchers analyzed the word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time. The scientists also separately analyzed two large collections of English historical texts from the past two centuries, containing more than 40 billion words — again seeing only certain types survive.
The results show three features that give words an “evolutionary(进化的)advantage” by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as "hand" "uncle" or "today") are stabler. Next, concrete words remain better than abs tract ones: "dog" persists longer than "animal", which persists longer than "organism". Lastly, emotionally exciting words — whether negative or positive — tend to continue to exist.
Early language-evolution models assumed that language becomes increasingly complex over time. But Indiana University Bloomington cognitive scientist Fritz Breithaupt says the new study supports a more recent theory that language finally gets more efficient and easier to understand.
Still, as the study notes, "the English language is not baby talk." Breithaupt explains: "We shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need." New words that address the complexity of modern life may somewhat balance out this shift.
12. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To find out why language gradually shifts over time.
B. To present society is a key factor in language change.
C. To identify how cognitive selection affects language change.
D. To figure out what words are easily included in the dictionary.
13. What were the participants asked to do during the experiment?
A. Play games on the phone. B. Read stories to other participants.
C. Rewrite what they read for others. D. Analyze the words they prefer to use.
14. Which words have the most evolutionary advantage according to the new study?
A. Head, imagination and happy. B. Mouth, horse and disappointed.
C. Insect, fortune and competition. D. Soccer, organism and adventure.
15. What is Fritz Breithaupt's attitude towards the new study?
A. Tolerant. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究揭示了语言演变的认知驱动力,通过类似“传话游戏”的实验与历史文本分析,发现早年习得、具体而非抽象、及情感激发的词汇更具进化优势,支持了语言朝向更高效易懂发展的现代理论,尽管英语依然保留复杂性以适应现代生活需求。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive(认知的)select ion that fix certain words into the dictionary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, scientists investigated just that. (许多研究考察了社会和环境因素如何影响语言变化,但很少涉及将某些单词固定在词典中的人类认知选择的力量。在《美国国家科学院院刊》上发表的一项广泛的新研究中,科学家们对此进行了调查。)”可知,科学家们在美国国家科学院院刊上发表了一项广泛的新研究,正是为了研究这个问题。即科学家们研究了影响语言变化的人类认知选择的力量。故选C项。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The results show three features that give words an “evolutionary(进化的)advantage” by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as "hand" "uncle" or "today") are stabler. Next, concrete words remain better than abs tract ones: "dog" persists longer than "animal", which persists longer than "organism". Lastly, emotionally exciting words—whether negative or positive—tend to continue to exist. (研究结果显示,有三个特征通过帮助单词在大脑中停留来赋予它们“进化优势”:首先,通常在早期习得的单词(如“手”、“叔叔”或“今天”)更稳定。接下来,具体的单词仍然比腹肌单词更好:“狗”比“动物”更持久,“动物”比“有机体”更持久。最后,情绪激动的词语——无论是消极的还是积极的——往往会继续存在。)”可知,有三种特质的词语有进化优势:在很小的时候习得的单词,具体的单词和让人情感激动的单词。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第四段的“But Indiana University Bloomington cognitive scientist Fritz Breithaupt says the new study supports a more recent theory that language finally gets more efficient and easier to understand. (但印第安纳大学布卢明顿分校的认知科学家Fritz Breithaupt表示,这项新研究支持了一个更新的理论,即语言最终变得更高效、更容易理解。)”可推断, Fritz Breithaupt对此研究表示支持。故选D项。

Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. ____16____ Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.
One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. ____17____
The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach. ____18____” said Shaokao Cheng, co-founder of a luxury design company. As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel.
____19____ Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.
Study the art market, but not too closely.____20____ While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.
A. Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.
B. Then in time, you will find something that you love.
C. These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.
D. I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions.

(培养艺术兴趣最可靠的方法之一就是尽可能多地欣赏艺术作品。去看博物馆展览和画廊展览,阅读艺术杂志。即使是你从未感兴趣的艺术时期的展览,也要去看看。你会学会欣赏艺术品的品质,也会逐渐看出优秀的艺术作品是什么样的。)”可知,此处应说明多接触艺术后最终的结果,即找到自己喜欢的艺术,B选项“Then in time, you will find something that you love. (然后久而久之,你会找到自己喜欢的东西。)”符合语境,承接前文多接触艺术的建议,指出最终会有收获。故选B项。
【18题详解】

(这种身体反应比任何潮流都更能说明问题。)”中的“That physical response”指代前文“how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach”,符合语境,解释了关注身体感受在培养艺术品味中的重要性。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据空后的“Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast.

(研究艺术市场,但不要过于深入。)”以及空后的“While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators. (虽然了解市场动态可能有帮助,但艺术欣赏中最有价值的部分,来自于与艺术品及其创作者建立真诚的个人联结。)”可知,此处应说明艺术市场研究与个人联结的关系,即市场研究处于次要地位,F选项“Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks. (与艺术品建立个人联结比市场研究更重要。)”符合语境,承接前文“不要过于深入研究市场”的建议,与后文强调个人联结的重要性相呼应。故选F项。

Despite rejections, The Catcher in the Rye was eventually published, and it became ____41____ immediate best-seller. Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to Brontë sisters who dreamed of ____42____ (see) their words in print. As that was a time ____43____ women were not encouraged to become writers, they wrote a book of poems under male names.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以J.K.罗琳、J.D.塞林格和勃朗特三姐妹为例,说明成功难一蹴而就,许多作家曾遭拒绝与批评,指出天赋不够,努力、运气加毅力才是成功关键。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:大家都知道成功往往并非一蹴而就,但或许没有多少人知道,许多成功的作家在成名之前都曾遭遇过拒绝。修饰动词happen用副词rarely。故填rarely。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:以 J.K. 罗琳为例。短语take sb. for example表示“以某人为例”。故填for。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在经历了总共十二次的拒绝之后,终于有一家出版社同意出版她的第一本书,而众所周知,哈利·波特这部作品取得了全球性的成功,售出了超过4亿册,并被翻译成了七十多种不同的语言。修饰名词success用形容词global,作定语。故填global。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在经历了总共十二次的拒绝之后,终于有一家出版社同意出版她的第一本书,而众所周知,哈利·波特这部作品取得了全球性的成功,售出了超过4亿册,并被翻译成了七十多种不同的语言。此处sell与books构成被动关系,用过去分词作宾补。故填sold。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:很多时候,那些创作出伟大作品的作家都不得不面对批评、拒绝以及种种困难,J. D. 萨林格就是这样一个例子。作动词face的宾语,用名词criticism。故填criticism。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:尽管遭遇了诸多拒绝,但《麦田里的守望者》最终还是得以出版,并且迅速成为了畅销书。此处best-seller为泛指,且immediate是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:或许坚持不懈精神的最高奖项应该授予布伦姐妹,她们一直梦想着将自己的作品出版问世。作介词of的宾语,用动名词形式。故填seeing。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:因为在那个时代,女性并不被鼓励从事写作,所以她们以男性名字为笔名创作了一本诗集。定语从句修饰先行词time,在从句作时间状语,故填when。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:即便这本书只售出了两本,他们也没有放弃,而是继续创作小说,其中许多作品如今已被视为世界文学的经典之作。主语many与谓语构成被动关系,根据后文today可知为一般现在时的被动语态,谓语用复数。故填are regarded。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:所以,似乎仅仅有天赋是不足以确保成功的。此处为短语be enough to do sth.表示“足以……”。故填to guarantee。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m a student in your Western Art Appreciation course this term. I’ve noticed that quite a few classmates seem unengaged during class.
One possible reason is that the course materials are somewhat challenging, making it difficult for some to fully grasp and participate actively. Additionally, the lack of interactive activities may discourage students from voicing their opinions.
To improve this, I suggest incorporating more group discussions or case studies related to Western art, which could stimulate interest and encourage participation. Also, providing some background information or simpler explanations before diving into complex topics might help.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Living in the shadow of my elder sister who already had her life planned out since she entered middle school, I was always undecided about everything.
When I was in high school, I would still try one thing for a week and then abandon it in the next week. Although I kept searching for the beginning of the rainbow, I kept changing my dream from becoming a vet to an astronaut. I always thought there would be better options available to me. Each time, my parents would shake their heads and ask me, “Why can’t you be more like your sister? What are you going to do with your life? Aren’t you interested in anything at all?”
Each time, I would shrug (耸) my shoulders and my parents usually stopped talking, at least for the moment. I was not sure if they had given up or anticipated the same dull reply, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions right now.”
I knew my parents, just like other parents, had high expectation of me and that they really wanted me to achieve success. I also knew that my arguments were too childish.
“Your grades aren’t high enough. No good colleges are going to accept you, dear. We don’t want to pay so much money for nothing, either,” my mother said one day by the end of my second year in high school.
“Certainly, I will go to a good college,” I replied with as much confidence as I could summon. “No matter what you say.”
After the argument with my mother, I knew it was a crucial year at high school. I had to take action now. So, during the summer vacation, no longer did I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. Instead, I started to review all the knowledge I had learned and did it with all my heart. I also turned to my sister for help whenever necessary.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

A few days after the college entrance examination, I received a call from my teacher.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having taken the letter from my teacher, I tried to open it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
A few days after the college entrance examination, I received a call from my teacher. He told me he received a strange letter from a famous university in Shanghai. He said that the envelope was very different and that it seemed to contain a postcard. He urged me to go to his office immediately. But I hesitated for a long time, wondering whether it was a rejection or an acceptance letter. Finally, I asked my mother to go with me.
Having taken the letter from my teacher, I tried to open it. But my hands kept shaking so violently that it dropped to the floor. My mother picked it up and opened it very carefully. Out of the envelope came a beautiful card with the words “You are admitted to...” in bold golden letters. As a matter of fact, it was beyond my wildest dream and I doubted whether I was dreaming. Then I was drawn back to reality by my teacher’s and my mother’s congratulations.
