(2025·湖北孝感高二下期中)
What is happiness？Gopnik’s new book All That Happiness Is provides an answer.It suggests that happiness is the pursuit of something meaningful.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是Gopnik的新书All That Happiness Is探讨了什么是幸福。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
What does that pursuit require How can we know if we arrive at the desired destination？Gopnik’s reflections on his life invite us to consider what such a pursuit truly demands.He recalls a personal moment of great happiness when，as a teenager，he locked himself in his bedroom with a guitar，studying rock ‘n’ roll songs from the Beatles songbook.
Gopnik declares that he is “not much better” at the guitar than he was at the end of that first week.However，the period of self-study became the foundation of almost every meaningful accomplishment in his life since.
Gopnik draws a difference between “accomplishment” and “achievement”，stating that accomplishment is rooted in an inner sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile，while achievement is rooted in external reward，having fulfilled the demands coming from an outside force.
I can’t help but think that today’s schools focus more on achievement than on accomplishment，which obviously does harm to our pursuit of happiness.Schools keep pushing students to achieve faster and higher，but they forget to let students breathe.A student might spend weeks cramming for exams，only to forget everything the next day.Students consistently achieve without the accompanying satisfaction of accomplishment.
Ultimately，to be happy，you have to center on what truly fulfills you.I can prove it.Even after a dozen years，I still get a kick out of the choice of writing a column in my hometown newspaper，from which I gained a sense of achievement.
It took me maybe 20 minutes to read All That Happiness Is，not much of an achievement; but the full worth of a book isn’t in how long it took to read it，but in how long it continues to exist in our lives.
1.Why does Gopnik share his experience of learning the guitar
A.To prove he loves playing the guitar.
B.To explain how his lifelong career started.
C.To share the methods of playing the guitar.
D.To show the influence of the period of his self-study.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However，the period of self-study became the foundation of almost every meaningful accomplishment in his life since.” 可知，自学的这段经历成为他此后人生中几乎所有成就的基础。由此推知，Gopnik分享他学吉他的经历是为了展示那段自学时期的影响。故选D。
解析
2.What’s the difference between achievement and accomplishment according to Gopnik
A.Accomplishment comes from inside.
B.Accomplishment is quite easy to get.
C.Achievement has greater influence.
D.Achievement brings people more joy.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Gopnik draws a difference...，stating that accomplishment is rooted in an inner sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile，while achievement is rooted in external reward，having fulfilled the demands coming from an outside force.”可知，根据Gopnik的说法，成就(accomplishment)来自内心，而功绩(achievement)则源自外部的奖励。故选A。
解析
3.What does the underlined part “get a kick out of” in paragraph 6 mean
A.Gain pleasure from.
B.Become nervous about.
C.Get attracted by.
D.Feel regretful for.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线部分前文可知，此处介绍的是幸福与专注于真正让自己满足之事的关联，结合下文“from which I gained a sense of achievement”可知，作者以自己写专栏为例说明作者从写专栏这个选择中获得了一种成就感，由此推知画线部分意思是“从……获得快乐”。故选A。
解析
4.What’s the author’s suggestion to the readers according to the last two paragraphs
A.To read this book repeatedly.
B.To learn guitar.
C.To focus on what really satisfies you.
D.To write a column.
√
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Ultimately，...center on what truly fulfills you.”可知，作者认为要真快乐，需专注于真正让你满足的事情。结合尾段，作者以读这本书为例，说明一本书的价值在于它在我们生活中存在多久，即关注对自己真正有意义的东西。故作者在最后两段建议读者专注于真正让自己满足的事情。故选C。
解析
B(此篇精读)
By the late 1960s，painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge.“Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it，” he thought.Cohen turned from the canvas(画布) to the screen，using computers to find new ways of creating art.In the late 1960s，he created a program named Aaron.It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art，and Cohen first presented① it in 1974 at the University of California，Berkeley.
语篇解读　本文属于说明文，主要介绍了艺术家Harold Cohen及其开发的AI艺术程序Aaron的历史背景、特点，以及该程序在纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆展览的相关信息。
Now，with AI filling the headlines，a new exhibition called “Harold Cohen：Aaron” at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work.The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits：a real-time experience，in which visitors can watch the software produce art.
Cohen provided Aaron with all sorts of knowledge：about basic objects，physics，and fundamental techniques of drawing.Aaron uses the given knowledge to follow instructions，complete tasks，and make decisions like human beings—a very different approach from today’s generative② AI art programs，which draw from scratch③ but rather rely on databases of images.
The Whitney is displaying two versions of Cohen’s software，along with the art that each of them produced before Cohen died.The 2001 version，Aaron KCAT，generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high，while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes.The software will also create art physically，on paper，for the first time since the 1990s.“It is absolutely thrilling，” said Christiane Paul，the museum’s director of digital art，“to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.”
5.What was Aaron born out of
A.Harold’s curiosity.
B.Cohen’s imagination.
C.The museum’s donation.
D.The university’s support.
√
细节理解题。由第一段中“‘Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it，’ he thought.Cohen turned from the canvas(画布) to the screen，using computers to find new ways of creating art.”可知，Aaron的诞生源于Harold对于艺术创作的新方法的好奇心。故选A。
解析
6.What can visitors do in the “Harold Cohen：Aaron” exhibition
A.See the original version of Aaron.
B.Learn about the physical rules in art.
C.Observe Aaron creating art on the spot.
D.Generate images with the help of Aaron.
√
细节理解题。由第二段中“The Whitney is offering something deeper...visitors can watch the software produce art.”可知，在展览中，参观者可以实时观看Aaron软件创作艺术。故选C。
解析
7.What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs
A.Its ability to assign tasks.
B.Its use of modern techniques.
C.Its capability to draw from the beginning.
D.Its dependence on existing database.
√
细节理解题。由第三段中“Aaron uses the given knowledge to...a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs，which draw from scratch but rather rely on databases of images.”可知，Aaron使用给定的知识从头开始绘画，这与今天的直接依赖数据库来生成图像的人工智能艺术程序截然不同。故选C。
解析
8.What is the text mainly about
A.The masterpieces of digital art.
B.The latest technologies in the Whitney.
C.Harold Cohen’s impact on generative AI.
D.The first demonstration of AI in art world.
√
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段可知，整篇文章主要介绍了Harold Cohen创造的世界上第一个应用于美术领域的人工智能软件Aaron，以及它在纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆的展览情况，强调了其在艺术领域的开创性影响。选项D“人工智能在艺术界的首次展示”符合题意。故选D。

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项棉花糖实验来告诉我们要保持开放的心态，学会养成耐心的习惯。
Ⅳ.七选五阅读

There’s always the chance you don’t like marshmallows. 1 Would you prefer to snack on one right away，or remain patient enough to double your treat
√
上文提到有可能你不喜欢棉花糖，下文则继续问你会如何选择，可知设空处说的是如果你喜欢棉花糖，以此来紧密连接下文的你会如何选择的问题，A选项“但是假设你喜欢它们”符合语境，故选A。
解析
The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment，conducted over 20 years ago，presented this choice to a group of children between the ages of 3 and 6.At first，the experiment didn’t gain much attention.But about 10 years later，
the researchers followed up with the participants and discovered something interesting.Some of the kids who had chosen to wait for 15 minutes were doing better on tests. 2
A.But let’s say you love them.
B.Let’s return to the marshmallow.
C.It doesn’t suggest you are meant to succeed.
D.Does patience help you plan ahead for your future
E.The students who waited for the extra treat were more patient.
F.The good news is that we can all learn how to be more patient.
G.Could there be a connection between waiting and future success
√
上文提到等了十五分钟的孩子后来表现更好，下文是科学家对耐心的作用的不同看法，可推测设空处应该是关于耐心和成功是否有关系的，G选项符合题意，起到承上启下的作用，故选G。
解析
While some scientists believe there is no connection，others believe patience made the difference. 3 That extra patience helped students in other parts of their lives too，like studying and learning.Further experiments involving different snacks have yielded similar results.
A.But let’s say you love them.
B.Let’s return to the marshmallow.
C.It doesn’t suggest you are meant to succeed.
D.Does patience help you plan ahead for your future
E.The students who waited for the extra treat were more patient.
F.The good news is that we can all learn how to be more patient.
G.Could there be a connection between waiting and future success
√
下文“That extra patience helped students in other parts of their lives too，like studying and learning.”中的“That extra patience”和E选项“等待额外奖励的学生更有耐心”中的“more patient”相呼应，故E选项符合语境，故选E。
解析
If，when you first started reading this，you thought you would rather eat your snack right away，that’s OK. 4 Experts emphasize that patience is a skill that can be developed and strengthened.
A.But let’s say you love them.
B.Let’s return to the marshmallow.
C.It doesn’t suggest you are meant to succeed.
D.Does patience help you plan ahead for your future
E.The students who waited for the extra treat were more patient.

G.Could there be a connection between waiting and future success
√
根据上文“If，when you first started reading this，you thought you would rather eat your snack right away，that’s OK.”可知，设空处是解释为什么这样做也没关系的，F选项符合题意，并且紧扣下文“Experts emphasize that patience is a skill that can be developed and strengthened.”。故选F。
解析
Dr.Parker Huston，a psychologist，suggests individuals can cultivate patience by identifying the sources of frustration in their lives and preparing for those moments.When faced with frustrating situations，you can take deep breaths and count backwards from ten to one.
5 Regardless of whether you choose to eat the marshmallow immediately or wait，the key is to maintain an open mind and learn to practice patience.No matter where your future takes you，patience can help you get there.
A.But let’s say you love them.
B.Let’s return to the marshmallow.

G.Could there be a connection between waiting and future success
√
根据下文“Regardless of whether you choose to eat the marshmallow immediately or wait，the key is to maintain an open mind and learn to practice patience.”可知，本段的主题又回到了棉花糖的问题上，B选项“让我们回到棉花糖上”符合语意，故选B。

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2025·湖北孝感高二下期中)
What is happiness？Gopnik’s new book All That Happiness Is provides an answer.It suggests that happiness is the pursuit of something meaningful.
What does that pursuit require How can we know if we arrive at the desired destination？Gopnik’s reflections on his life invite us to consider what such a pursuit truly demands.He recalls a personal moment of great happiness when，as a teenager，he locked himself in his bedroom with a guitar，studying rock ‘n’ roll songs from the Beatles songbook.
Gopnik declares that he is “not much better” at the guitar than he was at the end of that first week.However，the period of self-study became the foundation of almost every meaningful accomplishment in his life since.
Gopnik draws a difference between “accomplishment” and “achievement”，stating that accomplishment is rooted in an inner sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile，while achievement is rooted in external reward，having fulfilled the demands coming from an outside force.
I can’t help but think that today’s schools focus more on achievement than on accomplishment，which obviously does harm to our pursuit of happiness.Schools keep pushing students to achieve faster and higher，but they forget to let students breathe.A student might spend weeks cramming for exams，only to forget everything the next day.Students consistently achieve without the accompanying satisfaction of accomplishment.
Ultimately，to be happy，you have to center on what truly fulfills you.I can prove it.Even after a dozen years，I still get a kick out of the choice of writing a column in my hometown newspaper，from which I gained a sense of achievement.
It took me maybe 20 minutes to read All That Happiness Is，not much of an achievement; but the full worth of a book isn’t in how long it took to read it，but in how long it continues to exist in our lives.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是Gopnik的新书All That Happiness Is探讨了什么是幸福。
1．Why does Gopnik share his experience of learning the guitar
A．To prove he loves playing the guitar.
B．To explain how his lifelong career started.
C．To share the methods of playing the guitar.
D．To show the influence of the period of his self-study.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However，the period of self-study became the foundation of almost every meaningful accomplishment in his life since.” 可知，自学的这段经历成为他此后人生中几乎所有成就的基础。由此推知，Gopnik分享他学吉他的经历是为了展示那段自学时期的影响。故选D。
2．What’s the difference between achievement and accomplishment according to Gopnik
A．Accomplishment comes from inside.
B．Accomplishment is quite easy to get.
C．Achievement has greater influence.
D．Achievement brings people more joy.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段的“Gopnik draws a difference...，stating that accomplishment is rooted in an inner sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile，while achievement is rooted in external reward，having fulfilled the demands coming from an outside force.”可知，根据Gopnik的说法，成就(accomplishment)来自内心，而功绩(achievement)则源自外部的奖励。故选A。
3．What does the underlined part “get a kick out of” in paragraph 6 mean
A．Gain pleasure from.
B．Become nervous about.
C．Get attracted by.

By the late 1960s，painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge.“Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it，” he thought.Cohen turned from the canvas(画布) to the screen，using computers to find new ways of creating art.In the late 1960s，he created a program named Aaron.It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art，and Cohen first presented① it in 1974 at the University of California，Berkeley.
Now，with AI filling the headlines，a new exhibition called “Harold Cohen：Aaron” at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work.The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits：a real-time experience，in which visitors can watch the software produce art.
Cohen provided Aaron with all sorts of knowledge：about basic objects，physics，and fundamental techniques of drawing.Aaron uses the given knowledge to follow instructions，complete tasks，and make decisions like human beings—a very different approach from today’s generative② AI art programs，which draw from scratch③ but rather rely on databases of images.
The Whitney is displaying two versions of Cohen’s software，along with the art that each of them produced before Cohen died.The 2001 version，Aaron KCAT，generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high，while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes.The software will also create art physically，on paper，for the first time since the 1990s.“It is absolutely thrilling，” said Christiane Paul，the museum’s director of digital art，“to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.”

If someone offered you a marshmallow(棉花糖) now，but promised you two marshmallows if you waited for 15 minutes，what would you do There’s always the chance you don’t like marshmallows. 1 Would you prefer to snack on one right away，or remain patient enough to double your treat
The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment，conducted over 20 years ago，presented this choice to a group of children between the ages of 3 and 6.At first，the experiment didn’t gain much attention.But about 10 years later，the researchers followed up with the participants and discovered something interesting.Some of the kids who had chosen to wait for 15 minutes were doing better on tests. 2
While some scientists believe there is no connection，others believe patience made the difference. 3 That extra patience helped students in other parts of their lives too，like studying and learning.Further experiments involving different snacks have yielded similar results.
If，when you first started reading this，you thought you would rather eat your snack right away，that’s OK. 4 Experts emphasize that patience is a skill that can be developed and strengthened.Dr.Parker Huston，a psychologist，suggests individuals can cultivate patience by identifying the sources of frustration in their lives and preparing for those moments.When faced with frustrating situations，you can take deep breaths and count backwards from ten to one.
5 Regardless of whether you choose to eat the marshmallow immediately or wait，the key is to maintain an open mind and learn to practice patience.No matter where your future takes you，patience can help you get there.
A．But let’s say you love them.
B．Let’s return to the marshmallow.
C．It doesn’t suggest you are meant to succeed.
D．Does patience help you plan ahead for your future
E．The students who waited for the extra treat were more patient.
F．The good news is that we can all learn how to be more patient.
G．Could there be a connection between waiting and future success
