A
Music is universal. Take a moment to think about what music you like as you read our beginners’ guide to the history of music.
Middle Ages
The Middle Ages, which ranges from the 6th century to the 16th century, featured medieval (中世纪的) music. During this time, there were two general types of music styles — the monophonic and the polyphonic. The main forms of music included Gregorian chanting and plainchant.
Classical Period
The music forms and styles of the Classical period, which ranges from 1750 to 1820, are characterized by simpler melodies and forms like the sonatas. During this time, the middle class had more access to music. So composers began to create music that was easier to understand. Most especially, Mozart wrote his first symphony and Beethoven was born during this period.
Romantic Period
Historiographers define the Romantic music period to be from 1800 to 1900. Music forms of the Romantic period used music to tell a story or express an idea. Various instruments including wind instruments were used. Instruments that were invented or improved during this time included the flute and the saxophone.
The 20th Century
Music during the 20th century brought about many innovations on how music was performed and appreciated. Artists were more willing to experiment with new music forms and used technology to improve their compositions. The 20th century music has various styles.
1．In which period were Mozart’s compositions created
A．Middle Ages. B．Classical period.
C．Romantic period. D．The 20th century.
2．What can we know about music from the Romantic period
A．This period lasted over 100 years. B．Musicians only used wind instruments.
C．Music was related to a story or an idea. D．The music forms were harder to understand.
3．How did artists improve their music during the 20 century
A．By inventing new instruments. B．By practicing new music styles.
C．By writing complex compositions. D．By improving traditional music styles.
B
Art and technology have a complex but meaningful history of working together and influencing one another. Innovations in technology have directly impacted the art world and will continue to do so.
With every new evolution in technology, art also changes. However, this doesn’t just apply to their production. The way art is viewed, shared, consumed and subsequently sold is constantly transforming too. Technology has made art far more accessible. Just like with countless other aspects of modern life, the internet has allowed art to be consumed in a more direct way. Museums display collections online, and artists have all the tools they need at their fingertips to promote and sell their own pieces — often without the challenges that come with running a physical exhibition.
It’s clear that the relationship between art and technology has led to many exciting new pieces and techniques. Significant innovations from the past years include AI-generated art.
Is Artificial Intelligence the next great Art Movement Without easily distinguishing the line between human and machine, AI-generated art offers us a new kind of untraditional creativity. However, new findings do not come without hesitation. Some argue that art generated through computer science is definitely not art, or creative. Nevertheless, artists are continuing to experiment to combine art and technology further as one.
It is obvious that the art landscape is experiencing an extreme transformation as it changes with technology. These two fields may seem different — however, we have shown that there is a fate that ties these two together. With rapid technological advancements and shifting perception of art among artists and consumers, we can expect to see a better understanding of how these changes will affect the creative world as a whole.
4．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．Art doesn’t change with technology. B．Technology affects art in many ways.
C．Artists make more money than before. D．People needn’t visit galleries to enjoy art.
5．What’s the author’s answer to the question at the beginning of Paragraph 4
A．Unclear. B．Absolutely. C．Why should I know D．Definitely not.
6．What is the “fate” that ties art and technology
A．The consumption of art. B．The advancement of technology.
C．The experiment of artists and consumers. D．The history of these two working together.
7．How does the author feel about the future of art and technology
A．Neutral. B．Curious. C．Negative. D．Positive.
C
If you love art, “Picasso” speaks a lot. Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) wasn’t just an exceptional painter; he was a sculptor, printmaker, stage designer ... Due to his amazing skills, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.
One of Picasso’s amazing feats was representing realism and contemporary culture through art. He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism— one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed. His exploration of art did not stop with cubism as he wanted to make something more inspirational, and thus came into existence—Collage (拼贴画). Collage was a different kind of art in which Picasso incorporated several signs and used some metaphorical terms to give them a concrete meaning.
Picasso received training from his father, who was an art teacher and a painter. At the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.
Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions. His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing. To this day, it is a classic representation of war horrors.
On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France, leaving behind a treasure of art that is celebrated still to this day.
8．What does the underlined word “feats” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Dreams. B．Achievements. C．Discoveries. D．Inspirations.
9．What was the driving force behind Picasso’s artistic exploration
A．His training in the Academy. B．His pursuit of innovation.
C．His admiration for his father. D．His loyalty to traditional art.
10．What was Picasso’s intention in creating “Guernica”
A．To show his artistic talent. B．To pour out personal emotional pain.
C．To record a historical event. D．To speak out against wartime violence.
11．Which of the following best describes Picasso
A．Talented and consistent. B．Creative and ambitious.
C．Pioneering and all-round. D．Successful and realistic.
D
In his new essays, the distinguished photographer Michael Collins makes an appeal for. the art of close observation. He argues that the viewer’s role is to truly look at an image, rather than rush on to the next one. “Photography is now everywhere,” he complains, “and this widespread presence leads people to look briefly and move on, making reflection difficult.”
This contrast between the rewards of attention to the single image and the reality of photographic over-supply forms the thread that runs through Blind Corners: Essays on Photography. That doesn’t mean every image deserves the kind of close attention Collins advocates. Most photography today, he says, “is the enemy of photography itself”. It grows “louder and emptier”. It shouts without really saying anything.
Collins favours the photograph that doesn’t shout but leaves viewers to detect the sound behind the silence. But he is less clear about how we will know when we come across such an image, other than that there is a magic to it. He is very good on the magic part of the relationship among its elements, on what happens when we set off on a search — an ultimately hopeless search — to know and understand the world a single image represents. The magic invites us in and leads us to wonder and to speculate.
The stillness provides the magic. Our need to know is what really keeps us looking, and what really animates the image. A photograph, like a biography (传记), can never tell us enough. We always want to know more. As Collins demonstrates through his imaginings about the figures of Coronation Day, their stillness and silence encourage us to think we are teasingly within reach of knowing them.
For Collins, a photograph’s power lies in its very uniqueness. However, this is not a fashionable view, as we are much more used to looking at photographs in relation to one another today, not just on gallery walls but in digital collections. This tendency to group photographs together is doubtless traceable, in part at least, to the phenomenon of over-supply and the question of what to do with all these photos. Yet for Collins, such relational viewing can weaken what gives a photograph its force in the first place: the intensity of sustained attention to a single, self-contained image.
12．What does Collins think of most photos today
A．They are quite realistic. B．They are too distracting.
C．They lack real meaning. D．They deserve careful study.
13．What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculate” in paragraph 3
A．Guess reasonably. B．Judge critically.
C．Describe exactly. D．Recall clearly.
14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Why stillness calms viewers. B．Why stillness invites imagination.
C．Why stillness provides animation. D．Why stillness shows exact details.
15．What advantage does a single image have
A．It fits into social media. B．It allows deeper reflection.
C．It presents a more complete story. D．It reminds people of similar images.

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。
Struggling to find a dream career Professional landscape photographer Robert Bilos may be a good example. He began taking landscape photos in 2016, drawn to the beauty of exploring the outdoors. From the beginning, he was absorbed in learning everything about photography. 16
This passion soon developed into a deeper artistic exploration. Bilos aims to “show the atmosphere as clearly as possible.” 17 By using creative ways to express the emotion of a scene, he translates his experience of nature into images that feel alive, so that anyone viewing his work can feel as if they were standing right there beside him.
On location, Robert follows a fixed approach to shooting. He begins by planning his shots carefully, but keeps adapting to the changing conditions. 18 Finally, he adjusts his camera settings, waits for the perfect light, and takes the picture. In the process, the right equipment may support the journey, but it is his skill and idea that truly matter.
19 In the Dolomites, for example, the temperature once dropped from 20° to 0°C within 15 minutes, bringing heavy snow. He waited for 12 hours in a cave until the weather turned better. Such challenges require constant adjustments during his shoots. He emphasizes that remaining calm under pressure is of vital importance.
Robert once said, “Don’t try to copy other photos you’ve seen on social media; instead, find your own composition.” 20 He believes that the more he searches, the more he’ll train his eye for the extraordinary.” The same attitude also applies to his future plans to photograph the other mountain ranges and promote environmental protection.
A．Yet nature can be very unpredictable.
B．In general, he travels quite a long way from home.
C．He combines great skill with a powerful sense of place.
D．His advice for photographers is to develop their own style.
E．Then, he uses different tools to achieve high-quality images.
F．Magazines, videos, social media and books became part of his resources.
G．The mountains, valleys, and rivers offer him physical and emotional benefits.

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。
Sophie, a quiet tenth- grader, found comfort in watercolor painting. She took the sketchbook (速写本) everywhere with her, capturing moments others often missed — the sunset after school, the potted plant by the window, and her classmates’ warm smiles. Yet these paintings remained hidden in her drawer.
When the annual art festival approached, Sophie hesitated. No one had ever seen her work, and the thought of displaying it in public made her nervous. But her piece “Morning Mist,” showing the fog lifting from the soccer field, felt different. She had spent weeks perfecting it, and Ms. Chen, her art teacher, had encouraged her. Finally, she decided to submit it.
However, her name wasn’t on the selected list. “Rejected, huh ” Ryan teased (取笑) . “It’s so pale — did you forget to finish it ” Some students laughed. Sophie’s face burned. Before she could stop herself, she tore the painting into pieces and ran away before tears fell.
Ms. Chen witnessed everything. She sighed, knowing that Ryan himself had been rejected the year before, though few knew. She wondered if he made fun of others to hide his own disappointment. The next morning, she found Sophie in an empty classroom. “I’ve kept every rejection letter I’ve ever received,” she said softly, producing a worn folder. “Each one reminded me that rejection isn’t about being wrong — it’s about growing and finding the right audience.” She pressed a flyer (宣传单) into Sophie’s hand. “The festival has an open show. No judges — just artists sharing their vision. The deadline is Friday.”
Walking home, Sophie held the flyer, thinking about the paintings in her drawer — moments preserved simply because she loved them. The show was in three days. That night, she stood before her art supplies, torn between fear and desire. Her drawer stayed closed, guarding the works she’d never shown. Yet the thought of the open show kept returning, whispering in her mind.
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。
After a moment of hesitation, Sophie opened the drawer.

Three days later, at the open show, Ryan stopped at her display.

Dear Jack,
Knowing that you are interested in Qingming Scroll, I’m willing to introduce it to you.
Painted by Zhang Zeduan, Qingming Scroll is a masterwork of Chinese art, offering an important insight into life in the 12th century. It consists of three main sections, which provide a comprehensive look of what life was like then. This timeless scroll is an important example of realism in the history of Chinese paintings and greatly influenced generations of future artists.
It would be great if you can come to China and appreciate it for yourself.
Yours,
Li Hua
47．Version I:
After a moment of hesitation, Sophie opened the drawer. Inside lay her watercolors — quiet memories she’d never shared. Ms. Chen’s words echoed — rejection isn’t the end but a chance to grow; every painting deserves its right audience. Regret filled her as she remembered tearing up “Morning Mist”, the work she’d spent weeks perfecting. Taking a deep breath, she turned to a draft of the soccer field and decided to repaint it with bolder strokes. By the next evening, the new “Morning Mist” glowed softly on the paper. She gathered her works and walked steadily toward the open show.
Three days later, at the open show, Ryan stopped at her display. Sophie’s heart tightened, expecting another tease. He scanned the paintings, then froze at the new Morning Mist, his smirk fading. “These are yours ” he asked softly. When Sophie nodded, he scratched his neck. “Sorry. I joked because I still hadn’t gotten over being rejected last year.” He pointed at the painting. “It feels just like the soccer field at dawn — quiet and magical.” Nearby, some students exclaimed in admiration. Warmth melted her last bit of shame. A bright, confident smile spread across her face — she had finally found her audience. Version Ⅱ:
After a moment of hesitation, Sophie opened the drawer. Those hidden paintings lay quietly inside, each recording beautiful moments. She recalled the torn painting “Morning Mist”, which used to be her favorite, and decided to recreate it. Memories flooding back, she painted the misty soccer field at dawn, fog curling over grass and faint golden light filtering through clouds. When she completed the painting, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside her. The next day, she selected other wonderful works, heart full of courage, ready to share.
Three days later, at the open show, Ryan stopped at her display. He stared at the paintings in surprise, eyes fixed on the brand-new “Morning Mist”. His face flushed with guilt. “I shouldn’t have laughed at you,” he apologized sincerely. “This is amazing. It is extremely vivid and incredibly charming.” Nearby, some students gathered and admired the artwork, their praise filling the air. Sophie smiled, feeling a warm glow. She realized Ms. Chen was right — being rejected means a chance to grow and art is meant to be shared with those who appreciate it.
