A
Painting is a rich and varied field and covers both figurative and abstract works, each involving varying degrees of observation and expression. It can also be integrated into the creative process in other disciplines, such as illustration and hand-painted cloths.
Painting, as an area of artistic expression, has a history of thousands of years. However, it has continued to develop as artists extend ideas and techniques and respond to new technologies. Painting continues to allow painters to explore personal expression through mark-making and the size of their work.
Painters have worked from observation throughout history, and continue to do so today. They can use the following techniques:
·Work directly: from observation onto a prepared painting surface.
·Work on a set of studies: objects brought into the studio and used as reference material for a larger painting.
·Record from observation: use a camera and work up paintings from these photographs.
Fine art:
·French artist Edgar Degas lived in a time after the birth of practical photography. Notice how the idea of the viewfinder frame (取景器框架) has meant that Degas’s work Race Horses in front of the Stands was cut off by the edge of the painting cloth.
·The British painter Lucien Freud painted his friend, artist Frank Auerbach and created Frank Auerbach during a series of sittings, responding to what he could see in front of him.
·British artist George Stubbs’ artwork A Bay Thoroughbred in a Landscape is like a showcase for the horse: he has placed the horse in the middle of the foreground. Details are captured by the shutter action that the human eye would struggle to see.
·The French Neo-Impressionist painter Georges Seurat first used studies to record aspects of his subject—the interaction of light and shade or the postures people adopt when relaxing—and used these to create his masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which is more than 2m x 3m in size.
1. What is the focus of the development of painting
A. Decline in its figure over time.
B. Integrating style and technique.
C. Focus on observation and illustration.
D. Adaptation to new ideas and technologies.
2. Who used the technique of working directly
A. Edgar Degas. B. Lucien Freud.
C. George Stubbs. D. Georges Seurat.
3. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce the history of western paintings.
B. To highlight the techniques adopted by artists.
C. To show the impact of new technologies on painting.
D. To discuss the relationship between painting and artists.
B
Six years as a space reporter taught me that no mission or any view of a celestia (天上的) event is ever truly promised to us observers. So when my mother and I decided to drive out to Erie, Pennsylvania, to see the April 8 solar eclipse (日食) this year within the path of totality, I knew this would be a trip of two opposite attitudes. I’d be convinced we’d be victims of the randomness that governs the world; my mom would have strong faith that order would win and the skies would let us observe an eclipse like this for the first time in our lives. I told her not to count on the universe for this one; she told me she wouldn’t count on anything else.
I was once again humbled into a lesson I’ve learned time and time again: Mama knows best. Erie’s forecast that morning was cloudy, but by the time first contact between the sun and the moon began a little after 2 p. m., the clouds over the city’s bay front began to disappear. The pale yellow sun under the eclipse glasses rapidly appeared, concentrating into a fierce orange glow.
Totality struck at 3:16 p. m. A thin white glow went out from the edge of a clean black circle. The colors of the sunset bloomed in the distance. Noisy seagulls took a flight. I could spot solar prominence (日珥) coming from the sides of the sun in bright red and pink. Jupiter and Venus both appeared. It felt like bearing witness to something close to a wonder.
Four minutes later, totality ended. The sun brightened again. And the clouds returned, swallowing up the moon and the sun and the sky in gray. But for four incredible minutes, the universe seems to have made good on a promise to my mother.
4. Why did the author mention her job in paragraph 1
A. To tell her ability to predict celestial events.
B. To show off her expertise in space exploration.
C. To explain she’s an expert in weather forecasting.
D. To stress her experience with the unpredictability.
5. What does the author mean by “Mama knows best” in paragraph 2
A. Her mother is an experienced forecaster.
B. Her mother is always right about the weather.
C. Her mother’ faith and optimism were confirmed.
D. Her mother’s initial belief corrected my attitude.
6. What amazing sights could be seen during the totality
A. Bright red and pink solar prominences was seen.
B Jupiter and Venus were shining brightly in the sky.
C. The sun disappeared suddenly with a total darkness
D. The colors of the sunset bloomed with an orange glow.
7. How did the author’s attitude to her mother change before and after the solar eclipse
A. From reliant to inspired.
B. From impatient to grateful.
C. From critical to appreciative.
D. From indifferent to supportive.
C
Eco-anxiety is a growing issue that reflects the increasing fear of environmental destruction and climate change. This type of anxiety is particularly common among younger generations, who worry about the future of the planet.
Eco-anxiety is closely linked to environmental disasters such as heat waves, wildfires, and hurricanes. These events can lead to long-term stress, depression, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The concept of “Solastalgia,” which refers to emotional suffering caused by changes to one’s environment, supports the reality of eco-anxiety. Although the term “eco-anxiety” is more modern, the emotional response to environmental damage is well-documented.
Certain social, economic, and political factors can make some people more likely to suffer from eco-anxiety than others. For instance, nearly half of the people in Southeast England express high levels of concern about climate change, more than those in other regions. This heightened anxiety could be related to factors such as urbanization, the area’s growing population, and high levels of consumption, all of which contribute to environmental degradation.
There are several strategies people can use to manage eco-anxiety. One important approach is controlling how much negative news you consume. Too much exposure to disturbing content on social media or news outlets can increase feelings of worry and helplessness. Limiting this exposure and focusing on learning new and positive information can help you feel more empowered.
Spending time in nature is another effective way to reduce eco-anxiety. Research shows that being in natural environments, or even viewing nature from a window, can lower stress and improve mood. It fosters a deeper connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
Journaling is also a helpful tool. Writing down your feelings can help reduce anxiety by organizing thoughts and expressing emotions. Businesses like “Bloomin’s Minds” combine mindfulness with sustainability by offering seeded cards that customers can write on how they plant, and watch grow into flowers, creating a positive and calming experience.
As eco-anxiety becomes more widespread, mindful lifestyle changes are helping to reduce the impact of climate change while easing anxiety. These practices enable individuals to contribute positively to the environment.
8. According to the text, which of the following may cause Solastalgia
A. Seeing a nearby playground being cleared.
B. Living in a region experiencing frequent rainfall.
C. Volunteering for an environmental conservation group.
D. Watching childhood park destroyed by city development.
9. What is the function of the example about people in England
A. To show the geographic diversity of eco-anxiety.
B. To explain the impact of social anxiety on nature.
C. To criticize the lack of environmental policies in the area.
D. To stress the connection between urbanization and the issue.
10. Which strategy is helpful to manage eco-anxiety
A. Limiting exposure to negative news. B. Controlling the time of online surfing.
C. Trying to write down your adventures. D. Engaging in outdoor physical exercises.
11. What does mindful living do for eco-anxiety in the last paragraph
A. It leads people to forget about environmental problems and anxiety.
B. It offers practical ways for people to bravely face the climate issues.
C. It deepens a connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
D. It makes individuals feel more disconnected from environmental issues.
D
Human intelligence, particularly the ability to concentrate, varies and is crucial for work performance and creativity. It also helps older adults prevent accidents like falls, improving their quality of life. However, measuring concentration is challenging, and its relationship with age is not well understood. Psychologists from Trinity College Dublin developed a computer game to quantify attention and investigate the factors influencing concentration.
The study included 34 young adults and 34 seniors. Despite similar scores, their strategies were notably different. Young adults, with a 45% distraction rate, relied on quick reactions and mental flexibility. In contrast, seniors, with a 27% distraction rate, demonstrated higher concentration, using self-discipline to achieve comparable scores. These findings, published in “Psychology and Aging”, showing that older adults can make up for a decline in overall intelligence with other cognitive (认知) strengths.
The study also highlighted the importance of neural (神经) connections in intelligence. Younger individuals have stronger and extensive neural connections, contributing to their quick reactions and distractibility. To investigate how older adults can maintain these connections, Kaitlin Casaletto, a neurobiologist at UCSF, focused on “presynaptic proteins” around synapses (染色体突触), which are vital for synaptic connection quality.
Dr. Casaletto co-operated with the University of Chicago to analyze brain tissue samples from 404 elderly volunteers. The study found that regular exercisers had higher levels of presynaptic proteins, indicating stronger synaptic connections. This difference was observed in various brain areas associated with cognitive function, not just the hippocampus, which is linked to memory.
The findings, published in “Alzheimer’s & Dementia,” provide structural evidence that exercise can slow cognitive decline in older adults. This supports the idea that increased physical activity can help delay cognitive aging, offering scientists more confidence in the role of exercise in maintaining cognitive health. The research emphasizes the potential for older adults to preserve their cognitive abilities through lifestyle choices, such as regular physical activity, which can have a significant impact on their neural connections and overall cognitive function.
12. Why did the psychologists develop the computer game
A. To train young adults to improve their mental flexibility.
B. To show the importance of maintaining cognitive health.
C. To find out factors affecting concentration across age groups.
D. To compare the distraction rate for young adults and seniors
13. How did older adults achieve similar scores to young adults
A. By a strong sense of regulation. B. By relying on faster reaction times.
C. By having better mental flexibility. D. By increasing overall intelligence.
14. What do the presynaptic proteins do in the study
A. They are associated with a higher distraction rate.
B. They are linked to the overall memory of the elders.
C. They are responsible for muscle strength in older adults.
D. They are crucial for the quality of synaptic connections.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The role of exercise in slowing cognitive decline in older adults.
B The challenges of measuring concentration and its relationship with age.
C. The differences in concentration strategies between young and old adults.
D The neural connections and their impact on cognitive strengths in older adults.

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。
Alex Turner was a 16-year-old with a passion that set him apart. Every morning on his way to school, while other kids were chatting about the latest video game or gossiping about school events, Alex would find a quiet spot with his first aid brochure in one hand, practising performing CPR. He would carefully place his hands in the air, counting out loud as he practiced compressions (胸部按压) . He focused on getting the rhythm and pressure just right, even though passers-by sometimes gave him curious or amused looks. He was so determined to learn that it meant being a little late to class sometimes.
However, his special hobby didn’t get him many pals. Alex often heard them making mean remarks about his “weird survival thing” and felt really lonely. He even wondered if he was wasting his time learning stuff that nobody else cared about.
One sunny Saturday afternoon, Alex was in the woods, trying to build emergency shelters. Suddenly he heard a loud shout in the distance. Curious and a bit worried, he ran towards the sound.
By the riverbank, he saw Mr. Davis, a neighbor who often fished there, kneeling beside his unconscious son, Ben. Ben had slipped and hit his head on a rock while trying to catch a fish. Blood was coming out of a cut on his forehead, and his breathing seemed weak.
Alex’s heart jumped, but he quickly calmed down. “I can help!” he shouted, running over.
Mr. Davis looked up, his eyes full of panic. “Oh my god, Alex, what should we do Ben won’t wake up!” he yelled.
Alex knelt down beside Ben. First he carefully checked the cut to make sure there was nothing in it. Then, he took a clean handkerchief from his pocket and gently pressed it on the cut to stop bleeding.
“Call 911 right now!” Alex shouted as he tilted (倾斜) Ben’s head back a little to open the airway and checked for any blockages. After making sure the airway was clear, Alex noticed that Ben’s breathing still didn’t improve.
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。
Alex knew it was time for CPR
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After this incident, Alex’s name spread fast in the town.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I’m writing to you to share my sports experiences and feelings. I have been engaged in running for several years, which has become an indispensable part of my daily life. Through running, not only have I built up my physical strength and endurance, but I have also developed strong willpower and perseverance.
I know you are not interested in sports, but I still want to offer you some suggestions. You could start with some simple and enjoyable activities like taking a walk in the park or cycling around the neighborhood. These won’t require too much of your time and energy, yet they can get you moving and make you feel good. Additionally, you might try to find a sport that genuinely interests you, like badminton or swimming.
Remember, regular exercise is beneficial to your health, both physically and mentally, and it can enhance your mood and energy levels.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

【47题答案】
【答案】Alex knew it was time for CPR. He quickly positioned himself beside Ben, crossed his fingers, and began compressions, counting aloud, “One, two, three…” with firm, practiced movements. As he finished another round, the ambulance arrived. Exhausted but relieved, Alex stepped back. One of the EMTs glanced at Alex and nodded approvingly. “Good job. If more people knew how to do CPR as well as you do, we’d save a lot more lives out here.” Alex felt a wave of relief and pride. These words validated his actions, making him feel like he had truly made a difference.
After this incident, Alex’s name spread fast in the town. The local newspaper came to interview him, and his photo was on the front page the next day. Kids at school who used to make fun of him now looked at him with admiration. No longer the lonely kid, Alex had become a local hero. At that moment, he realized that all his learning and practice had not been in vain, as long as he didn’t give up, there would come a day when efforts would be rewarded. More importantly, these skills and knowledge weren’t just for saving lives, they also inspired others to courageously pursue their own dreams.
