Then suddenly, I thought of Lucas. Could he pay the extra 1 dollar to get his class
picture I ran to my friends the moment the bell rang. We discussed that problem for a
long time and finally drew the conclusion that very likely he wouldn’t get the picture.
Then we rushed to the teacher’s office for confirmation. We withdrew from the office,
upset and silent. “Maybe we can buy one for him.” I proposed. We counted our
changes, sent it to our teacher and then waited for the big day excitedly.
Lucas was frozen in shock when the teacher handed him that class picture. He
stood up, lowered his head, and whispered nervously, “No, I didn’t…” The teacher
smiled, “But your best friends did pay for your class picture.” Lucas raised his head in
disbelief and looked around the class. Everyone smiled and then applauded, even if
some students didn’t know what happened. At the moment, a surge of pride swept
through me. I felt I knew how to see through my heart, but not just see through my
eyes.2023学年第二学期期中三校联考

One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. I became immediately interested because of the word “Poems” that appeared in big, hot pink letters.
“Is it good ” I asked her.
“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.
“Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty I wondered. The poem began:
She never puts her toys away,
Just leaves them scattered(散乱的)where they lay, …
The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise(稳重),
I’ll miss her harum-scarum(莽撞的)noise,
And look in vain(徒劳的) for scattered toys.
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sadness washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.
“It’s you, honey,” my mother said sadly.
To my mother, the poem described a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was terrible. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible that I began crying.
“What’s wrong ” my mother asked.
“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”
She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay ”
“Okay,” I was still crying. My fear had gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple that I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now crazy about the idea of poetry (诗歌), words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.
19.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again
A.It has a meaningful title. B.It was a thick enough book.
C.Something on its cover caught her eye. D.Her mother was reading it with interest.
20.The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because ______.
A.it was a sign of her own childhood B.it was written in simple language
C.it was written by a famous poet D.it made her think of what would happen
21.What does the underlined word probably mean
A.Easily. B.Hardly. C.Nearly. D.Narrowly.
22.It can be known from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to ______.
A.experience great homesickness B.recognize her love for puzzles
C.find her wishing to grow up D.discover the power of poetry

The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI — some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts — surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案) . OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers — express in areas like misinformation, hateful content, and bias — who will be adversarially testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
23.What makes Sora impressive
A.Its ethical and societal influence. B.Its extraordinary video quality.
C.Its artificial intelligence history. D.Its written commands and prompts.
24.What can we infer from the text
A.Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
B.Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
C.OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D.All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
25.What is the main idea of Paragraph 6
A.The company’s current challenge.
B.The company’s advanced technology.
C.The company’s problems in management.
D.The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
26.What is the author’s attitude towards Sora
A.Neutral. B.Optimistic. C.Pessimistic. D.Cautious.
D
I love making art and looking at artworks. I’ve found myself wondering how we gain pleasure from art. And now neuroaesthetics, a combination of neuroscience (神经科学) and aesthetics (美学), may provide an answer.
Neuroaesthetics is a relatively young field of research on what happens in the brain when we make aesthetic assessments. Researchers use brain imaging technique to see which brain areas light up when we view paintings that we consider beautiful. Similar research has been done to understand the “neuronal fireworks” that occur when we look at inspiring sculptures, attractive faces, impressive dance, etc.
But why do we find some art beautiful and other art ugly According to research, it all comes down to the “aesthetic triad (三元组合)”.
The first part of the triad is sensory-motor. This involves perceiving things like colours, shapes and movements. Movement in art has an interesting role. If you see a painting of a movement, like of a man pulling his arm away after being bitten by a dog, you feel like going through a similar experience. The part of your brain that controls your own movements lights up in response.
Second is emotion-valuation. This is how a piece of art makes you feel, and whether or not you appreciate or enjoy that feeling. The part of the brain related to pleasure is activated in response to something we find beautiful. This system can be affected in fascinating ways, as found by research using transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS) (经颅磁刺激). If TMS is applied to a specific part of your brain behind your forehead that is particularly important for decision-making, you suddenly like different kinds of art. Such stimulation produces significant changes in aesthetic appreciation of faces, bodies and artworks.
The third part is meaning-knowledge. This is to do with how we can connect with a piece of art and what meaning we can create in it. Art is deeply personal, because when two people see the same artwork, our perception can create vastly different experiences of meaning. If we find meaning, then we often find pleasure. We also get enjoyment from the knowledge of how something was made. For the images that an artist creates, viewers will probably get far more enjoyment once they know the process used to create them.
Informed by neuroaesthetics, the next time I create my art I will value the process even more, enjoying the activation of the aesthetic triad in my brain as I admire the vivid images that I have created.
27.What does “neuronal fireworks” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.A beautiful painting or sculpture. B.The lighting-up of specific brain areas.
C.An advanced brain imaging technology. ,D.The aesthetic assessment of modern art.
28.What effect does movement in art produce on the viewers
A.Certain part of their brain is activated. B.Their experience of pain is reduced.
C.Their aesthetic sense is sharpened. D.Their body reactions are delayed.
29.The application of TMS to the brain described in Paragraph 5 leads to__________.
A.raised memory capacity B.enhanced painting skills
C.changed artistic taste D.improved decision-making ability
30.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A.To propose an abstract theory of art making.
B.To reveal the beauty of science in an artistic way.
C.To share some personal understanding of artworks.
D.To introduce a new research field for art appreciation.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all heard of IQ, and terms like EQ, which relates to your emotional intelligence, are commonly used. But have you heard of AQ AQ stands for adversity quotient (商数).
31
Being able to handle these rough periods we all go through is not only crucial in our personal lives but in our professional lives too. So how can we learn to be more adaptable
Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us. In the workplace, it could be in the form of unemployment, the company we work for going under or being restructured, or even missing out on a promotion. 32 AQ measures our ability to tackle the shocks when life throws curveballs at us. It can be used to predict our attitudes, perseverance, longevity, and the way we learn from changes in environment. In short, our adaptability when there is an extreme change.
33 according to Dr Heshmat at the University of Illinois. First, try and find a meaningful goal. Adaptable people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome. Learning to relax and control your emotions is another key step. And it is one way to help you reduce pressure by practising breathing exercises. Likewise, thinking of things constantly and letting them get to you can cause you to be stressed. See difficulties more as an opportunity to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure you have a good social support network. 34
Things happen in life we can’t prevent. 35 But, taking a few steps to be more adaptable can make them a little easier to get through.
A.It’s vital to keep silent in new surroundings.
B.Sometimes they aren’t pleasant or unexpected.
C.It measures your ability to deal with the ups and downs of life.
D.Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.
E.The best way to adapt to a new environment is to give yourself more time,
F.There are some steps to help you be more adaptable in the face of adversity,
G.Failed relationships and financial hard times are things that can occur outside of work.

Featuring a dynamic design, the horse-face skirt is widely preferred by fans of traditional clothing in China. Exploring ways 51 (promote) the culture, they prefer to wear traditional clothing when taking part in cultural activities and share the beauty on the Internet.
The horse-face skirt 52 (originate) in the Song Dynasty and grew popular during the Ming Dynasty due to its functionality and artistic style. It is 53 (traditional) composed of two identical overlapping (部分重叠) panels 54 (wrap) around the left and right side of the lower body. Each panel is composed of a large rectangular (长方形的) panel of fabric, a side piece made up of several smaller panels and another rectangular panel narrower than the first. 55 (attach) to a waistband by ties, the two sides overlap each other so that one of the large straight panels on each piece is in the front and back of the skirt. This overlapping nature leaves openings in the front and back of the skirt, making 56 very suitable for horse-riding.
While maintaining the essential design 57 (element) of the horse-face skirt, modern designers change its outline, length, or detailing to match current fashion trends, appealing 58 a broader audience for usual daywear or formal evening fashions.
“This kind of skirt shows the grand 59 (elegant) that is admired in Chinese culture. Knowing 60 we come from, we can then be clear about where we are going, ” Daben, a Chinese vlogger, told the Global Times.

It snowed for days. Everything was frozen solid. As we hadn’t the heating in our classroom, most of us wore thick and warm clothes. Then, by chance I discovered under Lucas’ dirty woolen coat, there was just a semi-sleeved shirt.
It was so strange that I couldn’t help wondering whether Lucas was crazy to make such a choice. I told this to the boys in my class. “How stupid!” We all ran to see Lucas and jokingly pulled of his coat. Lucas stepped back, shaking with both cold and anger. I saw tears welled into his eyes.
When I went back home, I told mom “the stupid choice” Lucas made.
Mom fell silent. Then she made a phone call. The next day, she told me to bring a package to the school. “Give it to Lucas. Tell him to put on the clothes in it.”
“Why ” As a fourth-grader, I wasn’t wise enough to see something hidden behind. It was years later that I understood that Lucas’ family had the basics, but there was little money for much else beyond food and shelter.
Mom hugged me and said softly, “Guess why a hungry person doesn’t eat ”
“Because he can’t get any food to eat.” I answered loudly.
“Exactly.” Mom said, “So, why doesn’t Lucas wear thick and warm sweater ”
It all clicked into place.
It made me feel guilty. Mom said it was unkind to make fun of disadvantaged friends. And mom also told me to “see” through my heart, but not just through my eyes. I wondered “How ”
At the end of the term, the teacher told us we were going to take a class picture as, for some reason, we would break up when we stepped into the fifth grade. Twenty-two students lined up in three rows and faced the camera with happy smiles. The teacher told us anyone who paid a dollar would bring a class picture back home. I could hardly wait to get my first class picture.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then suddenly, I thought of Lucas.
Lucas was frozen in shock when the teacher handed him that class picture.
