Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are. The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20) Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million. The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39) Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage. Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48) Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression. Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80) Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow. 1. When did Andrew Mellon get Raffaello Santi’s painting? A. In 1510. B. In 1659. C. In 1905. D. In 1930. 2. Which painting is exhibited in Gallery 39? A. Self-Portrait. B. The Annunciation. C. The Alba Madonna. D. Family of Saltimbanques. 3. What do the last two paintings have in common? A. They are completed in Paris. B. The characters appear very sad. C. They are painted by the same artist. D. They are finished late in the artist's career. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国国家艺术馆常年展出的四幅名画。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas, this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. (这幅画最初是在1510年左右画在木板上的，后来被转移到画布上，1930年安德鲁·梅隆从俄罗斯的冬宫艺术博物馆购买了这幅画。)”可知，安德鲁·梅隆是在1930年得到拉斐尔·桑蒂的画的。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段标题“The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39). (扬·范·艾克的《圣母领报》（39号展厅）)”可知，39号展厅展出的是《圣母领报》。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression. (这幅自画像是在伦勃朗经历了一段经济困难时期后创作的，他的面部表情明显流露出负担。)”和最后一段“Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. (毕加索的《杂技演员之家（母亲与孩子和小丑）》创作于1905年，当时这位年轻艺术家正在巴黎为获得认可而奋斗，画中杂技演员面无表情，象征着贫穷的艺术家下层阶级的不幸。)”可知，最后两幅画中的人物看起来都很悲伤。故选B。 B “Singing is the start of music. By singing, we make ourselves physically part of music and music part of us,” writes composer Andrew Ford, host of The Music Show. Songs have a powerful effect on us. Has anyone discovered the joy of singing in a choir? Mary works as a busy teacher, and choir practice nights are simply her “sanity”. “There are nights when even I don’t feel like going to choir but by the time we’ve finished, I’m glad I came,” said Mary. Research says choiring is really good for you. By monitoring the health signs of members of a choir, Bjorn Vickoff at Sweden University discovered the singers’ hearts started to beat in step with their breathing. There seemed to be a wave of air moving through the group, making them feel connected as one. Research has proved that choiring has comforting effects similar to those that come from breathing exercises in yoga. Singing also produces hormones (荷尔蒙) and other happy chemicals, fighting against depression and loneliness. Singers have been found to have lower levels of stress after choiring. And a later study also found that singing relieves anxiety and that group singing can be especially beneficial to the health of older adults. At the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, choir after choir was put on stage by singers with no big names. But this is real music to Tony Backhouse’s ears. The choirmaster spent three decades in Australia founding and working with choral groups. “If I were asked to redesign the Australian educational system, I would start by insisting that group singing become a central part of the daily routine. I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourage a taste for cooperation with others,” said Tony. For him, the meaning of group singing is “cooperation, rather than competition. Singing teaches us to listen, which is a great gift. In my community choir, it’s about creating something amazing together, and we really aim to make every rehearsal a thing of joy and beauty.” 4. What does the underlined “sanity” probably mean? A. Relief. B. Routine. C. Duty. D. Suffering. 5. According to Bjorn Vickoff’s study, what caused the change of the singers’ heart rates? A. Their long-term practice. B. The monitoring machine. C. The rhythm of their breathing. D. The airflow condition on the stage. 6. How does choiring benefit singers? A. It lowers stress level. B. It raises the singers’ heart rate. C. It builds physical strength. D. It reduces chemicals in their bodies. 7. What can we infer from Tony Backhouse’s words about choiring? A. It’s a recent educational trend in Australia. B. It is especially helpful for singers with no big names. C. It should replace other subjects in the educational system. D. It helps students develop good qualities and teamwork spirit. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了合唱对人们身心健康的积极影响，包括缓解压力、促进合作以及增强幸福感等。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Mary works as a busy teacher, and choir practice nights are simply her “sanity”. “There are nights when even I don’t feel like going to choir but by the time we’ve finished, I’m glad I came,” said Mary. (Mary是一名忙碌的老师，合唱练习的夜晚就是她的“sanity”。Mary说：“有些夜晚，即便我不想去合唱团，但排练结束时，我总会庆幸自己去了。”)”可知，合唱练习对Mary来说是一种放松和缓解压力的方式，因此“sanity”与relief的意义相近。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By monitoring the heath signs of members of a choir, Bjorn Vickoff at Sweden University discovered the singers’ hearts started to beat in step with their breathing. (通过监测合唱团成员的健康体征，瑞典大学的Bjorn Vickoff发现，歌手们的心脏开始随着呼吸节奏同步跳动)”可知，是呼吸的节奏导致了歌手心率的变化。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Singers have been found to have lower levels of stress after choiring. (研究发现，歌手在合唱后压力水平会降低)”可知，合唱能降低歌手的压力水平。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourage a taste for cooperation with others,” said Tony. For him, the meaning of group singing is “cooperation, rather than competition. Singing teaches us to listen, which is a great gift. (Tony说：“我相信合唱能塑造品格，而且最重要的是，它能培养人们与他人合作的意愿。”在他看来，集体歌唱的意义在于合作，而非竞争。歌唱教会我们倾听，这是一份珍贵的馈赠)”可推断，合唱有助于培养学生良好的品质和团队合作精神。故选D项。 C For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect to the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too. Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong,” Julian says. Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience. Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission. This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give out users’ location. COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online. “There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds. 8. Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure ________. A. he stays safe on the Internet B. he doesn’t play computer games C. he doesn’t watch too many videos D. he controls his online time 9. How does the author explain children’s unpleasant online experiences? A. By describing his own experiences. B. By presenting scientific research. C. By showing differences. D. By using examples. 10. People often hold the wrong idea that ________. A. formal websites are always safe B. the Internet is becoming safer and safer C. COPPA can ensure their complete safety D. daily checks prevent future online problems 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Why parents should monitor kids’ web use. B. The risks of using mobile devices. C. Online safety for kids. D. How the COPPA law protects children’s privacy. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍儿童上网现状，讲解COPPA法案，提醒家长和孩子重视网络安全，不能认为遵守法案就绝对安全。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him.(为了保证他的上网安全，他的父母监控他的网络使用情况并和他讨论网络安全问题。)”可知，Julian的父母监控他的网络使用是为了确保他上网安全。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.(一项研究发现，62%的8至17岁儿童有过不愉快的上网经历。)”可知，作者通过展示一项研究来说明儿童不愉快的上网经历。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe.(存在一种误解：如果一个网站遵守COPPA法案，它就完全安全。)”可知，人们存在的错误观念是COPPA能确保绝对的安全。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章介绍儿童上网现状、COPPA法案及其修订，提醒孩子网络存在风险，核心是儿童网络安全。“Online safety for kids.(儿童网络安全)”为本文的主旨。 D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A. To improve communication between Earth and space. B. To bring the effects of climate change under control. C. To produce electricity for agricultural use. D. To increase the production of solar power. 13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A. The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C. The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment. 14. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B. They’ll become the main source of energy. C. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A maths website. C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，安装在太空中的反射器使太阳能发电场的未来一片光明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.(格拉斯哥大学的空间工程师发表了一项新的研究，展示了放置在地球轨道上的反射器如何通过在太阳落西后反射额外的阳光来增加未来大型太阳能发电场的产量)”和第二段中“In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power.(在他们的论文中，研究人员描述了他们如何使用先进的计算机模型来帮助确定使用轨道太阳反射器产生额外能量的最有效方法)”可知，在太空中安装反射器的目的是增加太阳能的产出，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.(此外，近年来太阳能电池板的价格迅速下降，加快了它们的采用速度，并为在世界各地建立大型太阳能农场铺平了道路)”可知，太阳能电池板价格的下降促进了大型太阳能发电场的应用，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.(此外，近年来太阳能电池板的价格迅速下降，加快了它们的采用速度，并为在世界各地建立大型太阳能农场铺平了道路)”讲太阳能电池板价格的下降促进了大型太阳能发电场的应用和最后一段中“Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective.(太空中放置轨道太阳能反射器将有助于在未来几年最大限度地提高太阳能发电场的效率。战略性地将新的太阳能发电场安置在从反射器接收最多额外阳光的地方，可以使它们更加有效)”可知，未来的太阳能发电场会是高性价比和高效率的，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.(格拉斯哥大学的空间工程师发表了一项新的研究，展示了放置在地球轨道上的反射器如何通过在太阳落西后反射额外的阳光来增加未来大型太阳能农场的产量)”可知，文章主要介绍了安装在太空中的反射器对太阳能发电场的积极影响，最有可能出自一篇新闻报道，故选A。 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。 What kind of things did you ask an AI tool to do for you recently? ____16____. But some experts are worried that asking AI to do such tasks means your brain is working less, and that it might be damaging your critical thinking and independent problem-solving ability. Earlier this year, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) carried out an experiment. ____17____. The study revealed that higher confidence in the tools’ ability to perform a task was related to less critical thinking effort. “____18____, we are worried that long-term over-reliance on AI could be harmful for critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills,” the researchers warned. Schoolchildren in the UK were similarly surveyed in a study published in October by Oxford University. ____19____. So, with the massive explosion of AI use, are our critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills really at risk of decline and should they be abandoned? “Not necessarily,” said Dr Alexandra Tomescu, an AI specialist who worked on the school survey. “Nine in 10 students told us that AI tools have helped them develop at least one skill related to schoolwork-be it creativity or revision. But at the same time, about a quarter said that AI tools made it too easy to do work for them. ____20____.” A. So it’s quite a mixed picture B. It came to the same conclusion C. Although they turned to AI tools a lot D. While AI tools can increase efficiency at work E. It ranged from tracking down information sources to writing essays F. Maybe you used it to summarize an essay or analyze data for new ideas G. They studied 319 white-collar workers who frequently used AI tools for their jobs 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述过度依赖AI或削弱思辨能力，但AI也有助学生提升相关技能。 【16题详解】 上文“What kind of things did you ask an AI tool to do for you recently?(你最近让人工智能工具为你做过哪些事？)”提出关于人们使用AI做何事的问题。空后“But some experts are worried that asking AI to do such tasks means your brain is working less, and that it might be damaging your critical thinking and independent problem-solving ability.(但一些专家担心，让人工智能来完成此类任务意味着你的大脑运转减少了，而且这可能会损害你的批判性思维能力和独立解决问题的能力)”转折引出专家担忧。空处承接问句，举例人们使用AI的日常事情。选项F“Maybe you used it to summarize an essay or analyze data for new ideas(或许你用它总结文章、分析数据获取新想法)”贴合问句语境，引出后文。 【17题详解】 上文“Earlier this year, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) carried out an experiment.(今年早些时候，麻省理工学院的研究人员开展了一项实验)”点明开展实验。空后“The study revealed that higher confidence in the tools’ ability to perform a task was related to less critical thinking effort.(研究发现越信赖AI做事，思辨投入就越少)”给出实验结论。空处介绍实验的过程或方法。选项G“They studied 319 white-collar workers who frequently used AI tools for their jobs(他们研究了319名工作中常使用AI的白领)”承接实验背景，衔接后文结论。 【18题详解】 空后“we are worried that long-term over-reliance on AI could be harmful for critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills(我们担心长期过度依赖AI会损害思辨和独立解决问题的能力)”表述过度依赖AI的危害。空处与后文构成让步转折关系。选项D“While AI tools can increase efficiency at work(虽然人工智能工具能提升工作效率)”先肯定AI优势，再转折讲弊端，逻辑通顺。 【19题详解】 上文“Schoolchildren in the UK were similarly surveyed in a study published in October by Oxford University.(牛津大学10月发布研究，对英国学童做了类似调查)”说明开展同类调查。空处承接前文，指明调查的结果。选项B“It came to the same conclusion(它得出了相同的结论)”呼应前文同类研究，衔接自然。 【20题详解】 上文“Nine in 10 students told us that AI tools have helped them develop at least one skill related to schoolwork-be it creativity or revision. But at the same time, about a quarter said that AI tools made it too easy to do work for them.(十分之九的学生告诉我们，人工智能工具帮助他们培养了至少一项与学业相关的技能——无论是创造力还是复习能力。但与此同时，约四分之一的学生表示，人工智能工具让他们做作业变得过于轻松)”说明AI工具既有帮助又有弊端，空处总结这种利弊并存的状况。选项A“So it’s quite a mixed picture(所以情况利弊参半)”对前文两种不同观点进行总结概括。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ryan Neighbors, a fourth grader at Tully Elementary in Louisville, was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) and has to rely on a wheelchair to get around.

Elara was energetic and adventurous, with golden hair and sky-blue eyes, always eager to explore new places. Kael was quiet and thoughtful, with dark hair and a gentle smile, and he often looked out for Elara. They grew up together, sharing joys and supporting each other through hard times, and their friendship was admired by everyone in town. One cool autumn morning, Elara heard an old story about a mysterious hidden cave deep in the Enchanted Woods. It was said that those who entered the cave would find their true selves. Excited by the tale, she persuaded Kael to explore the cave with her. At sunrise, they packed some necessities and set off, their hearts full of hope and curiosity. As they walked deeper into the woods, the trees grew taller and thicker, and the air was filled with the scent of moss and leaves. The gentle wind whispered among branches, adding magic to their journey. After hours of walking, they finally found a narrow cave entrance hidden behind ivy (藤蔓). The inside of the cave was large, with pointed rocks hanging from the top and rising from the ground, and everything was quiet and mysterious. They walked on happily until they reached a fork in the path. Elara wanted to take the right path, which was bright and lined with shining crystals (水晶). Kael preferred the left path, which was quiet and marked with strange ancient symbols. For the first time, they disagreed strongly. Neither wanted to give in, and the silence made the moment feel tense and uncomfortable. Their close friendship was suddenly put to a real, difficult test. Eventually, Elara insisted that going separate ways would allow them to explore more, and Kael, though worried, agreed. They promised to meet at the entrance before dusk (黄昏). 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。 Both felt a little scared walking alone, but they kept moving forward bravely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They hugged each other tightly and shared what they had seen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Both felt a little scared walking alone, but they kept moving forward bravely. Elara was amazed by the shining crystals along her path, their colors changing with every step. She thought about her own courage and love for adventure, learning to trust her brave heart. Meanwhile, Kael walked slowly in the quiet tunnel, studying the ancient symbols. He thought deeply about his own quiet strength and learned to understand his inner self. Time passing quickly, they both discovered something precious. As the sky turned golden at dusk, they returned to the cave entrance, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They hugged each other tightly and shared what they had seen. They realized that true friendship does not mean always walking the same road together. It means trusting each other enough to walk alone for a while, and then coming back to share the journey. What they had experienced separately made them value their bond even more. On the way back to town, their steps were light, and their hearts were warmer than before. It was this small adventure that taught them an important lesson: individual growth and togetherness can coexist. The experience did not weaken their friendship; instead, it made it stronger and deeper. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Elara和Kael的洞穴探险与友谊考验为线索展开，讲述了两个形影不离的好友——活泼爱冒险的Elara和安静善思考的Kael，听闻魔法森林深处神秘洞穴能让人找到真我，便一同前往探险；到达洞穴分叉路口时，Elara想走布满水晶的右路，Kael想走刻有古符号的左路，两人首次产生严重分歧，最终约定分头探索、黄昏前在入口会合的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写两人虽害怕仍勇敢前行，Elara被水晶吸引学会信任勇气，Kael研究古符号领悟内心力量，各自发现珍贵之物，黄昏时兴奋归来。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写两人紧紧相拥分享见闻，领悟真正友谊并非永远同路，而且信任彼此独立前行后再共享旅程，个人成长与陪伴可以共存，友谊反而更加深厚。 2. 续写线索：听闻传说——共同探险——路口分歧——分头前行——各自成长——重逢分享——领悟友谊真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①理解：understand/comprehend/grasp ②重视：value/cherish/treasure ③削弱：weaken/undermine/diminish 情绪类： ①兴奋：excitement /thrill/enthusiasm ②温暖的：warm/tender/affectionate 【点睛】【高分句型1】Time passing quickly, they both discovered something precious.

Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are. The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20) Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million. The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39) Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage. Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48) Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression. Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80) Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow. 1. When did Andrew Mellon get Raffaello Santi’s painting? A. In 1510. B. In 1659. C. In 1905. D. In 1930. 2. Which painting is exhibited in Gallery 39? A. Self-Portrait. B. The Annunciation. C. The Alba Madonna. D. Family of Saltimbanques. 3. What do the last two paintings have in common? A. They are completed in Paris. B. The characters appear very sad. C. They are painted by the same artist. D. They are finished late in the artist's career. B “Singing is the start of music. By singing, we make ourselves physically part of music and music part of us,” writes composer Andrew Ford, host of The Music Show. Songs have a powerful effect on us. Has anyone discovered the joy of singing in a choir? Mary works as a busy teacher, and choir practice nights are simply her “sanity”. “There are nights when even I don’t feel like going to choir but by the time we’ve finished, I’m glad I came,” said Mary. Research says choiring is really good for you. By monitoring the health signs of members of a choir, Bjorn Vickoff at Sweden University discovered the singers’ hearts started to beat in step with their breathing. There seemed to be a wave of air moving through the group, making them feel connected as one. Research has proved that choiring has comforting effects similar to those that come from breathing exercises in yoga. Singing also produces hormones (荷尔蒙) and other happy chemicals, fighting against depression and loneliness. Singers have been found to have lower levels of stress after choiring. And a later study also found that singing relieves anxiety and that group singing can be especially beneficial to the health of older adults. At the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, choir after choir was put on stage by singers with no big names. But this is real music to Tony Backhouse’s ears. The choirmaster spent three decades in Australia founding and working with choral groups. “If I were asked to redesign the Australian educational system, I would start by insisting that group singing become a central part of the daily routine. I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourage a taste for cooperation with others,” said Tony. For him, the meaning of group singing is “cooperation, rather than competition. Singing teaches us to listen, which is a great gift. In my community choir, it’s about creating something amazing together, and we really aim to make every rehearsal a thing of joy and beauty.” 4. What does the underlined “sanity” probably mean? A. Relief. B. Routine. C. Duty. D. Suffering. 5. According to Bjorn Vickoff’s study, what caused the change of the singers’ heart rates? A. Their long-term practice. B. The monitoring machine. C. The rhythm of their breathing. D. The airflow condition on the stage. 6. How does choiring benefit singers? A. It lowers stress level. B. It raises the singers’ heart rate. C. It builds physical strength. D. It reduces chemicals in their bodies. 7. What can we infer from Tony Backhouse’s words about choiring? A. It’s a recent educational trend in Australia. B. It is especially helpful for singers with no big names. C. It should replace other subjects in the educational system. D. It helps students develop good qualities and teamwork spirit. C For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect to the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too. Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong,” Julian says. Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience. Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission. This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give out users’ location. COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online. “There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds. 8. Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure ________. A. he stays safe on the Internet B. he doesn’t play computer games C. he doesn’t watch too many videos D. he controls his online time 9. How does the author explain children’s unpleasant online experiences? A. By describing his own experiences. B. By presenting scientific research. C. By showing differences. D. By using examples. 10. People often hold the wrong idea that ________. A. formal websites are always safe B. the Internet is becoming safer and safer C. COPPA can ensure their complete safety D. daily checks prevent future online problems 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Why parents should monitor kids’ web use. B. The risks of using mobile devices. C. Online safety for kids. D. How the COPPA law protects children’s privacy. D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A. To improve communication between Earth and space. B. To bring the effects of climate change under control. C. To produce electricity for agricultural use. D. To increase the production of solar power. 13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A. The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C. The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment. 14.

Elara was energetic and adventurous, with golden hair and sky-blue eyes, always eager to explore new places. Kael was quiet and thoughtful, with dark hair and a gentle smile, and he often looked out for Elara. They grew up together, sharing joys and supporting each other through hard times, and their friendship was admired by everyone in town. One cool autumn morning, Elara heard an old story about a mysterious hidden cave deep in the Enchanted Woods. It was said that those who entered the cave would find their true selves. Excited by the tale, she persuaded Kael to explore the cave with her. At sunrise, they packed some necessities and set off, their hearts full of hope and curiosity. As they walked deeper into the woods, the trees grew taller and thicker, and the air was filled with the scent of moss and leaves. The gentle wind whispered among branches, adding magic to their journey. After hours of walking, they finally found a narrow cave entrance hidden behind ivy (藤蔓). The inside of the cave was large, with pointed rocks hanging from the top and rising from the ground, and everything was quiet and mysterious. They walked on happily until they reached a fork in the path. Elara wanted to take the right path, which was bright and lined with shining crystals (水晶). Kael preferred the left path, which was quiet and marked with strange ancient symbols. For the first time, they disagreed strongly. Neither wanted to give in, and the silence made the moment feel tense and uncomfortable. Their close friendship was suddenly put to a real, difficult test. Eventually, Elara insisted that going separate ways would allow them to explore more, and Kael, though worried, agreed. They promised to meet at the entrance before dusk (黄昏). 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。 Both felt a little scared walking alone, but they kept moving forward bravely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They hugged each other tightly and shared what they had seen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
