An Art Class
When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before-worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor.
It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at-charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper.
One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed and was good at-and now Sophia was going to outshine her again Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room.
“Hello class, Miss Grace said.” We’ll continue to work on the project today. What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with
Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it-it was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s.
But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I…. I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.”
Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented ... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!”
Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.”
“I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said.
“Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said.
Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper.
Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally.
Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.
24. When Kelly started classes at the art school, she _____.
A. was not good at the course B. lacked confidence in drawing
C. was often pushed by Miss Grace D. did not get along with the other kids
25. How did Kelly feel when Sophia sat beside her
A. Thrilled. B. Confused. C. Frustrated. D. Relieved.
26. What did Kelly do in the art class
A. She inspired Sophia. B. She praised Sophia’s creativity.
C. She decided to outshine Sophia. D. She finished the drawing for Sophia.
27. What can we learn from the passage
A. Interest is the best teacher. B. You are what you believe to be.
C. Everyone has their own strengths. D. Hard work will eventually pay off.
C
Stacy Dean, an official at the US Department of Agriculture, was inspired by a visit to Watkins Elementary, in Washington, D. C. Students grow vegetables in their school garden. They also roll up their sleeves in the school’s kitchen to participate in a FRESHFARM FoodPrints class, which integrates cooking and nutrition education.
“Who’s next ” asks instructional coach Regina Green, as kids throw vegetables into the pan and the smell of fresh ginger and onions fills the air. “We grew these in our garden,” Jessie Gibson, one of the students, says proudly. Then he measures and pours dry ingredients into a bowl.
“Our family has tried new things because of the program,” says Catie Kelley, whose two children have participated in the FRESHFARM program. “They come home with the recipes,” Kelley says. “It’s fun because it’s things that we don’t usually make at home,” so it has encouraged them to try novel combinations. She says the kids take more of an interest at the grocery store to identify foods they’ve tried in the program.
Dean wants to have the science around healthy eating integrated. A block to scaling up these types of programs is money. The program relies on grants and receives some federal funding, but it’s not enough to expand the program to all the schools that could benefit.
In fact, there are other problems. At a time when diet-related disease is a leading cause of death, and unhealthy eating habits are rooted in US culture, it’s unrealistic to think that a cooking curriculum could overcome such a sweeping, societal problem. “We know from years of evidence that we need multiple things to come together to support healthy eating,” says Angela Odoms-Young, a professor of maternal and child nutrition at Cornell University.
Despite these challenges, programs like FRESHFARM can help kids expand their choices by introducing them to new tastes. At first, many kids are turned off by the bitter taste of greens. But through the magic of cooking, processing the onions, and blending in fresh ginger, kids can be inspired.
28. What inspired Dean during the visit to Watkins Elementary
A. The coach’s skillful performance. B. Students’ getting more access to nature.
C. The integrated hands-on cooking. D. Students’ gardening and cooking.
29. How does the program benefit Kelley’s family
A. They pay more attention to healthy eating. B. They have a more harmonious relation.
C. They show more interest in shopping. D. They have enriched their recipes.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Advocating healthy eating needs joint efforts. B. A cooking curriculum should be promoted.
C. Nutrition helps put students on a healthy path. D. Food is fundamental to life and good health.
31. What does the author think of the program
A. Complex. B. Widespread. C. Effective. D. Easily-operated.
D
How Did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Die
On November 20th, 1791, Mozart suddenly came down with fever and was wracked with pain. His arms and legs were severely swollen. In the following days his health significantly deteriorated. He died on December 5 after lapsing into a coma. The death certificate states he died of “severe miliary fever”. Exactly which disease led to Mozart’s death has been a mystery for the last 200 years.
Speculations
Many myths —some more plausible than others — entwine (缠绕) Mozart’s early demise. One of the most popular myths — that Mozart was poisoned by his rival Antonio Salieri — rose to prominence due to the popularity of the film Amadeus. This theory is supported by the fact that Mozart had been living through a phase of depression before his death, suffering from paranoia and existential fear. Mozart himself suspected that the cause of his deteriorating health was being poisoned over a long time. However, it is highly likely that this was just his subjective view of reality.
Many other speculations circulate. Syphilis and trichinellosis are frequently mentioned. In 1905, a French physician assumed uric acid poisoning due to a never fully healed nephritis. In 1961, lead poisoning was suggested as a possible cause of death.
Scientific attempts to explain Mozart’s death
In 2000, a group of American scientists proposed rheumatic fever caused by a strep infection after conducting meticulous detective work. The symptoms stated in literature and the reports of Mozart’s contemporaries yielded the clues. Without antibiotics, such an infection would inevitably lead to death. Rheumatic fever causes a weakening of the heart, which could explain Mozart’s swollen limbs.
In 2009, the Dutch scientist Richard Zegers extensively studied surviving documents and concluded that Mozart had been suffering from pharyngitis, a throat infection with symptoms including cramps, fever, rashes and a swollen neck. Mozart’s sister-in-law Sophie Haibel had described these symptoms. The death registry of Vienna for winter 1791 lists several deaths caused by this disease.
Whatever the cause of Mozart’s death, it came far too early. Let us thank him for his manic urge to create art and remember him on December 5th!
32. Which of the following is similar in meaning to the underlined word “deteriorate” (Paragraph 1)
A. To become worse. B. To change greatly.
C. To recover quickly. D. To be harmed rapidly.
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. It is generally believed that Mozart was poisoned by his friend.
B. Mozart’s depression paranoia and existential fear led to his death.
C. Mozart had been poisoned sustainably for a long time before he died.
D. Mozart once got a nephritis and it was never healed.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Mozart’s disease was recorded in contemporary literature and reports.
B. Antibiotics were not discovered at that time.
C. Rheumatic fever can only be caused by strep infection.
D. Mozart’s illness cannot be cured even today.
35. What is the author’s purpose mentioning Mozart’s sister-in-law’s words
A. To back up the Dutchman’s study.
B. To prove they were common symptoms causing death in 1791.
C. To prove Mozart did have such symptoms before his death.
D. To emphasize her special identify as a witness to Mozart’s death.

Health is wealth. 36 Here are some ways to prevent diseases and take care of yourself so you can live your healthiest, best life.
37
A study published in 2019 concluded that consumption of more than 4 servings of extra-processed food was associated with a 62% increased danger for all-cause deaths. For each additional serving, all-cause deaths increased to 18%. These foods can cause chronic inflammation (慢性炎症), a normal bodily process that can contribute to heart disease, diabetes and even cancer.
Get your cholesterol (胆固醇) checked.
When checking your cholesterol, your test results will show your cholesterol levels in milligrams per decilitre. It’s crucial to get your cholesterol checked because your doctor will be able to advise you on how to maintain healthy levels. 38
Watch your blood pressure.
39 Having high blood pressure puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death in the United States. Even small weight loss can help manage or prevent high blood pressure in many overweight people.
Get up and get moving.
Throw away any common misconceptions about exercising like that it has to be in a gym or a structured environment. 40 Taking 10, 000 steps a day is a popular goal because research has shown that when combined with other healthy behaviors, it can lead to a decrease in chronic illness like diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease. Exercise does not need to be done in consecutive (连续的) minutes. You can walk for 30 to 60 minutes once a day or you can do activities two to three times a day in 10 to 20 minute increments.

67. 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。
For as long as her parents can remember, 11 -year -old Breana Carsey has had this crazy dream. She has always wanted a mommy horse who would give birth to a baby horse, who would then grow up to become a racing champion.
“Absolutely, this was a fairy tale for her from day one. We put it off for five years because we don’t have a farm,” said her father, Brian Carsey, who explained that his daughter has “me wrapped around her finger”.
Her horse was born in the spring of 2013. Breana named it MJB Got Faith for the faith she instantly had in him.
“I really loved him. He’s super soft too,” she said.
But that quick bond posed a real problem for this Dad. See, for whatever reason, Brian thought once he explained to his daughter that her horse could never run in a race—that it was a runt from poor breeding stock—she would just agree to sell it.
“She thought her horse was priceless,” he said. “So I had a chat with my wife and we really got ourselves in a mess here. And I didn’t know how we were going to get out of this. So we took him to the races, the horse that I thought we should have got rid of already.”
Brian was stuck, committed to boarding and training this long shot to end all long shots. And this is not a wealthy family. Brian runs a small company. And Ohio racing, which is harness style racing, is a $900 million a year industry.
MJB Got Faith was so slow that it was barely even qualified to compete but then somehow won his first race, then his second, third and fourth qualifying him for the state championship held in Columbus, Ohio.
“And I said to my daughter, ‘If you finish third, you should be so thankful,’” Brian remembered. “She said, ‘Daddy, if he finishes last, I’m going to be thankful. But he’s going to win.’”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
This little horse won an important match.

Her dad now has a racehorse whose name is Steve Hartman.

66. Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s my great honor to have been given the chance to share with you my opinion on health.
Health refers to the sound condition of a person’s body and mind, which lays the foundation for our life, work and relationships. A healthy body shelters us from diseases and enables us to participate in all forms of activities. Mental health, on the other hand, gets us through hardships in the peace and balance of mind.
Therefore, I suggest that all of us make the most of One Hour of Sunshine Sport and dive into varieties of physical exercises on campus. We should safeguard our mental well-being and seek help if needed. It proves effective to improve our mental health with laughter, meditation, and positive thinking.
That’s all. Thank you!

67. One possible version：
This little horse won an important match. Breana went home with a hundred thousand dollars that day. She contributed half of it to charity and intended to use the other half to buy a farm. “I just want to have a farm and be able to walk MJB Got Faith,” she said. Since we first told this story last year, Breana has lived a better life. She got a national horse racing award and her story was reported by many media.
Her dad now has a racehorse whose name is Steve Hartman. Perhaps because of many reasons, Brian has not won a race yet. Hopefully his daughter will allow him to live on her farm. He watches his daughter walking the horse on the farm. Sometimes he walks his horse. He had a chat with his daughter about the future. She said she would like to take part in more competitions. And she wanted to live with her family forever.

Some people even exercise while working at an “exercise desk”. Not everyone likes these new desks. People who wear high heels or fancy suits to work don’t like them. They think it isn’t a good idea to stand all day in their professional clothing. Some managers are concerned it may look funny to customers. Others have trouble working on difficult projects unless they are sitting down. Standing desks are also expensive. Lisa Brown of Strong International Trading Company agrees: “What a waste of money! If I need to move at work, I take a break and go for a walk.” Yet another worker at Strong, a man named James Ryan, states, “Since I put in my standing desk, I have more energy and I can get more done at work.”
