Duan's work began in the caves,where he painted copies of the murals.Due to the severe damage done to some of the murals,this was at times an almost impossible task.Determined,Duan labored through hundreds of reference sources,making numerous notes on how to best reproduce the all-but-invisible images Sometimes,years of painstaking work yielded only one single copy.Starting in 1946,he copied nearly 400 ancient murals mostly by himself,covering.an area of about 150 square metres. Despite such remarkable achievements in restoration work,the situation was far less encouraging when it came to academic research.For a long time,Dunhuang studies were largely carried out in other countries, such as Japan,France and Russia.This was the direct consequence of a tragic history.Starting in the early 1900s,foreign explorers smuggled (thousands of ancient manuscripts and relics (out of the Mogao Grottoes.As a result,those irreplaceable materials became scattered across the globe.Renowned Chinese historian Chen Yinque once referred to Dunhuang studies as an example of"our sad academic history”, In 1982,Duan Wenjie became Dunhuang Academy's second director and spared no effort to change this 剂 situation.Dunhuang studies quickly expanded in range,and Duan led his colleagues in publishing Dunhuang Research,the first Chinese academic journal of Dunhuang studies."Dunhuang is the whole of my life,"he once said.Thanks to his decades of sustained efforts,the Mogao Grottoes were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1987. 高二英语8-3 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP 24.What inspired Duan Wenjic to go to Dunhuang?

C 母 Nowadays,the thought that a child's behavior can be bad-mean,greedy,selfish-is often considered unacceptable especially in the rich and democratic West.Children are treated as a uniquc category,almost a 牌 species apart from adults.This appears in the popular "every child is different"belief,which discourages judging or correcting children so as to honor their uniqueness. 烯 One explanation for this is the tendency to view children's emotions as purely physiological releases of ☑ stress,beyond moral evaluation.Brain-body parenting,for instance,argues that young children lack the neural wiring for self-control and therefore should not be expected to regulate their behavior.Parents are 洲 urged not to correct wrongdoing but simply to narrate emotions-"You're feeling very angry right now." But human emotions are inseparable from understanding:Fear reflects a sense of threat,disappointment 烟 signals unmet expectations;jealousy implics perceiving another as a rival.Meaning shapes feeling,even in toddlers.Merely labeling a child's anger without explaining when anger is appropriate or how it may harm 辨 others deprives them of an understanding of what they are feeling. The psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion explained in Learning from Experience(1962)that when parents interpret and respond to a baby's bchavior,they transform raw sense experiences into meaningful thoughts. Moral and emotional understanding-knowing justified anger,practicing restraint,respecting others-does not suddenly appear in adulthood.It develops gradually,long before children are able to grasp or express such ideas clearly,as parents offer forms of understanding to their children from the very beginning.As Bion put it,"just as we do not hold back from speaking to little babies bccause of the worry that they are unable to use words,so we should not hold back from initiating kids into our understanding of what counts as good and bad behavior." The idea that a parent can remain neutral toward their child's behaviour is at best naive and at worst dangerous.The deeper question parents need to ask is:Who do we want our toddlers to bccome?Unless we begin with a vision of the kind of person we hope to raise,we will always be chasing the latest parenting trend,or,perhaps,our child's every mood. 28.How would parents usually respond to children's misbchavior in the West? A.They try to categorize all their mistakes.B.They point out and punish it immcdiatcly. C.They judge it by moral standards of adults.D.They forgive it to cnsure kids'individuality. 高二英语84 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP 29.What does the author think of the brain-body parenting? A.It overlooks the role of understanding in emotions. B.It is a practical solution to reduce children's stress. C.It helps parents handle children's negative moods D.It highlights the biological basis of kids'misbehavior. 30.What can we learn about moral education according to Wilfred Bion? A.Kids know nothing about moral rules. B.Language and morals develop hand in hand. C.Moral rules should be nurtured from early ages.D.Children's abilities mature when they grow up. 31.What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph? A.Follow new parenting trends closely. B.Set clear aims for their child's growth. C.Stay neutral about their child's behavior. D.Let moods guide their parenting choices. From an early age,we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups-such as "smart vs.dumb"in school or "rich vs.poor"in adulthood.This thinking is often used for simpler identification,but it 龄 carries significant risks. 如 Once we assign people or ourselves to a group,several psychological effects take hold.First of all,the group members assume an identity.A label is placed on them,which over time achieves a level of 斟 permanency.For example,if you decide yourself as belonging to the "I'm really not creative"group,you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative.The longer this belief lasts,the harder it is to 长 change. Moreover,groups provide us with a false sense of comfort.By joining the"I'm not creative"group,we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas.Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open,we eschew the desire 数 to get out of our comfort zone-not because we can't,but because we won't.There are not just many 翰 like-minded people in the group,but it offers a safe environment to work and play. But the problem doesn't end there.There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the 解 following:"Creative people are individuals like Leonardo,Edison,Picasso,or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects"and"Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs,start new businesses,invent product...paint pictures,and make things of beauty."When reading these statements,we automatically assign ourselves to that"other group",knowing that we can never measure up. However,as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated,creativity is not exclusive to a select few;it is a birthright shared by everyone.So,be mindful of what you read.Sometimes,others may be putting you in a box without your knowing. 32.What does the underlined word"eschew"probably mean in paragraph 3? A.Avoid. B.Arouse. C.Express. D.Spark. 33.What can we learn from paragraph 4? A.Creative people are very few. B.Labels may limit our thoughts. C.All great people are creative. D.We can match great people easily. 34.What might the author agree with? A.Creativity belongs to everyone. B.Groups help us know ourselves C.We should read more books. D.Labels help us identify others. 高二英语8-5 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP 35.What can be the suitable title for the passage? A.Group Identity:Its Hidden Benefits. B.Age Groups:Key Comparisons C.Social Labels:Their Hidden Harm. D.Creative Thinking:Ways to Develop It 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。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table,your goal is simple:to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests.But success isn't just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills.36 Colour's influence starts with the first glance.37 The brain processes colour information and links it to taste,making us judge the same dish as delicious,average,or unappealing.So,making the food visually attractive is key,as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters,bowl colour is crucial.38 They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones.A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes,and they might even refuse food if the bowl's colour doesn't suit them.Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice,but avoid them with pale foods,which will look tasteless.They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats,making the food's colours stand out.For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. 39 Black plates,for example,can make food seem saltier and larger in portion.This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish's flavor and portion size.On the contrary,bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong.40 Matching the plate's colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller,as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience-all through smart tableware choices.It allows you to guide your guests'perceptions subtly,ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A.Dark plates have more varied effects. B.They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C.The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D.That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E.Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F.Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G.The colour of tableware like plates,shapes how guests feel about the food. 第三部分语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jerry was an outgoing and sociable boy.One summer,he was 41 in a bay in San Diego with his mother.Eager to integrate himself with the local boys,he attempted to join in their 42 but failed to swim through the underwater rock tunnel.He was thus ignored and 43 by them,filled with loneliness.
