Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·浙江名校联盟第一次联考)Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.When I was five, my dog destroyed an ant nest and trying to make it up to them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔) for the magical creatures.When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated.Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable.I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on.The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost.I was heartbroken.Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland.Alice is now in the Wonderland forever.But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places.In 2012, I met the Queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin.In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair.In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (孤独症) as an adult.In school, my teachers pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift.It’s pushed me to be the best I can be.I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place.I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me.We need to appreciate the little things in life.Small things can also be mighty.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。作者因兴趣而开始制作微型雕塑。随着时间的推移，作者的雕塑越来越复杂。制作微型雕塑虽然耗时，但也让作者收获颇多，它让作者明白了我们需要欣赏生活中的小事物，小事物也可以很强大。
1．What drove the author to make tiny sculptures at the beginning
A.His interest in insects.
B．His desire to make his name.
C．His dream of setting a record.
D．His awareness of wildlife protection.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。第一段第一句“Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.”讲作者小时候对昆虫很感兴趣，接着讲在作者5岁时，作者的狗毁了一个蚁巢，为了补偿蚂蚁，作者开始为蚂蚁搭建小房子，然后为这些神奇的生物创建小茶杯和小茶碟。由此可知，作者对昆虫的兴趣驱使作者开始制作微型雕塑。故选A项。
2．Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process
A．Eventful and enjoyable.
B．Complex and frustrating.
C．Money-wasting but entertaining.
D．Time-consuming but fulfilling.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。 根据第二段中的“I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.”可知，作者制作微型雕塑的过程很费时；再根据第四段第一句和第六段第一句可知，微雕过程让作者感到快乐充实。故选D项。
3．How does the author deal with his autism now
A．He receives medical treatment.
B．He takes full advantage of it.
C．He regards it as the source of failure.
D．He shares it and asks help from others.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段的“now, I see my autism as a gift.It’s pushed me to be the best I can be.”可知，现在，作者把自己的孤独症看作一份礼物，它促使作者成为最好的自己。由此可知，作者现在充分利用自己的孤独症。
4．What message does the author mainly convey through the text
A．Great art comes at a cost of loss.
B．Childhood experiences sculpt a career.
C．Minor things in life can carry weight.
D．Hard work contributes to great achievements.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“We need to appreciate the little things in life.Small things can also be mighty.”可知，作者制作微型雕塑，在这个过程中，作者明白了我们需要欣赏生活中的小事物，小事物也可以很强大，故选C项“生活中的小事物可以有很大的影响”。carry weight“有很大的影响”是对文中mighty一词的同义转述。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·广东模拟预测)If you’ve ever faced a writer’s block, you know how discouraging it can be. Some may use written prompts (提示) to overcome this challenge. 1 Visual art, in particular—whether paintings, photographs, or sculptures—can inspire your imagination and help you find your writing voice.
The practice of using art to inspire writing dates to the Greeks, who called it “ekphrasis”. 2 It could make them feel as if they were seeing the first-hand artwork. Today, writers still use this technique to sharpen their descriptive skills and explore their emotions.
3 For example, a travel writer might use photos of a busy city or a peaceful landscape to recall sensory memories from a journey. Similarly, when I look at a painting, I quickly react to certain details—like a block of color or a shape. Then I’ll ask myself what they remind me of, and how they make me feel.
To use art as a writing prompt, I recommend a simple three-step approach. First, find a quiet space and focus on the artwork. Let your eyes absorb the details. Next, let your mind wander, noting any emotions or ideas that arise. 4 If your thoughts feel messy, that’s okay. Let them flow like a stream, and catch whatever comes to mind. Finally, when you feel ready, start writing.
Whether you’re writing about the artwork itself or using it as a tool for other ideas, this visual exercise can help you break through creative blocks. Art has a unique ability to free our minds from everyday limits. 5 It might just be the boost your writing needs.
A．It’s time to start organizing your thoughts.
B．So, the next time you’re stuck, try turning to art.
C．One can always find inspiration in a writing guide.
D．Paintings and photographs are particularly effective prompts.
E.The key to this step is staying open, not getting stuck in logic.
F．But there’s another powerful tool to unlock your creativity: art.
G．They believed that describing art in vivid detail could transport readers.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何通过视觉艺术激发写作灵感，并提供了古希腊“ekphrasis”(艺格敷词)的历史背景和现代应用的三步实践法。
1．答案：F
解析：上文“If you’ve ever faced a writer’s block, you know how discouraging it can be. Some may use written prompts to overcome this challenge.”指出文字提示可以用于克服写作瓶颈，下文“Visual art, in particular—whether paintings, photographs, or sculptures—can inspire your imagination and help you find your writing voice.”强调视觉艺术能激发想象力，此处需引出艺术这种方法，因此F项“But there’s another powerful tool to unlock your creativity: art. (但还有一种强大的工具能释放创造力：艺术)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，下文是对其递进。故选F。
2．答案：G
解析：上文“The practice of using art to inspire writing dates to the Greeks, who called it ‘ekphrasis’．”提到古希腊人的“艺格敷词”的概念，下文“It could make them feel as if they were seeing the first-hand artwork.”提到这种方法的作用，此处需解释这一概念，因此G项“They believed that describing art in vivid detail could transport readers. (他们认为对艺术进行生动描述能让读者身临其境)”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。
3．答案：D
解析：下文“For example, a travel writer might use photos of a busy city or a peaceful landscape to recall sensory memories from a journey. Similarly, when I look at a painting...”举例说明旅行作家和作者本人如何使用照片和画作获得启发，此处是段首句，应总的说明绘画和照片的作用，因此D项“Paintings and photographs are particularly effective prompts. (绘画和照片是特别有效的创作提示)”符合语境，引出下文的具体案例。故选D。
4．答案：E
解析：上文“Next, let your mind wander, noting any emotions or ideas that arise.”介绍该方法的第二步，建议让思维发散，记录情绪或想法，下文“If your thoughts feel messy, that’s okay.”提醒不必在意思绪纷乱，此处应起到过渡作用，强调保持开放的思维，因此E项“The key to this step is staying open, not getting stuck in logic. (这一步的关键是保持开放，不要困于逻辑)”符合语境，承上启下。故选E。
5．答案：B
解析：上文“Art has a unique ability to free our minds from everyday limits.”指出艺术有解放思维的作用，下文“It might just be the boost your writing needs.”强调艺术对写作的帮助，此处应起到过渡作用，建议用艺术破解写作瓶颈，因此B项“So, the next time you’re stuck, try turning to art. (所以，下次遇到瓶颈时，试试求助于艺术吧)”符合语境，和上文是因果关系，引出下文，其中的art是下文it指代的对象。故选B。(共30张PPT)

课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·浙江名校联盟第一次联考)Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.When I was five, my dog destroyed an ant nest and trying to make it up to them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔) for the magical creatures.When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated.Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable.I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on.The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost.I was heartbroken.Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland.Alice is now in the Wonderland forever.But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places.In 2012, I met the Queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin.In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair.In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (孤独症) as an adult.In school, my teachers pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift.It’s pushed me to be the best I can be.I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place.I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me.We need to appreciate the little things in life.Small things can also be mighty.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。作者因兴趣而开始制作微型雕塑。随着时间的推移，作者的雕塑越来越复杂。制作微型雕塑虽然耗时，但也让作者收获颇多，它让作者明白了我们需要欣赏生活中的小事物，小事物也可以很强大。
1．What drove the author to make tiny sculptures at the beginning
A.His interest in insects.
B．His desire to make his name.
C．His dream of setting a record.
D．His awareness of wildlife protection.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。第一段第一句“Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.”讲作者小时候对昆虫很感兴趣，接着讲在作者5岁时，作者的狗毁了一个蚁巢，为了补偿蚂蚁，作者开始为蚂蚁搭建小房子，然后为这些神奇的生物创建小茶杯和小茶碟。由此可知，作者对昆虫的兴趣驱使作者开始制作微型雕塑。故选A项。
2．Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process
A．Eventful and enjoyable.
B．Complex and frustrating.
C．Money-wasting but entertaining.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·广东模拟预测)If you’ve ever faced a writer’s block, you know how discouraging it can be. Some may use written prompts (提示) to overcome this challenge. 1 Visual art, in particular—whether paintings, photographs, or sculptures—can inspire your imagination and help you find your writing voice.
The practice of using art to inspire writing dates to the Greeks, who called it “ekphrasis”. 2 It could make them feel as if they were seeing the first-hand artwork. Today, writers still use this technique to sharpen their descriptive skills and explore their emotions.
3 For example, a travel writer might use photos of a busy city or a peaceful landscape to recall sensory memories from a journey. Similarly, when I look at a painting, I quickly react to certain details—like a block of color or a shape. Then I’ll ask myself what they remind me of, and how they make me feel.
To use art as a writing prompt, I recommend a simple three-step approach. First, find a quiet space and focus on the artwork. Let your eyes absorb the details. Next, let your mind wander, noting any emotions or ideas that arise. 4 If your thoughts feel messy, that’s okay. Let them flow like a stream, and catch whatever comes to mind. Finally, when you feel ready, start writing.
Whether you’re writing about the artwork itself or using it as a tool for other ideas, this visual exercise can help you break through creative blocks. Art has a unique ability to free our minds from everyday limits. 5 It might just be the boost your writing needs.
A．It’s time to start organizing your thoughts.
B．So, the next time you’re stuck, try turning to art.
C．One can always find inspiration in a writing guide.
D．Paintings and photographs are particularly effective prompts.
E.The key to this step is staying open, not getting stuck in logic.
F．But there’s another powerful tool to unlock your creativity: art.
G．They believed that describing art in vivid detail could transport readers.

1．答案：F
解析：上文“If you’ve ever faced a writer’s block, you know how discouraging it can be. Some may use written prompts to overcome this challenge.”指出文字提示可以用于克服写作瓶颈，下文“Visual art, in particular—whether paintings, photographs, or sculptures—can inspire your imagination and help you find your writing voice.”强调视觉艺术能激发想象力，此处需引出艺术这种方法，因此F项“But there’s another powerful tool to unlock your creativity: art. (但还有一种强大的工具能释放创造力：艺术)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，下文是对其递进。故选F。
2．答案：G
解析：上文“The practice of using art to inspire writing dates to the Greeks, who called it ‘ekphrasis’．”提到古希腊人的“艺格敷词”的概念，下文“It could make them feel as if they were seeing the first-hand artwork.”提到这种方法的作用，此处需解释这一概念，因此G项“They believed that describing art in vivid detail could transport readers. (他们认为对艺术进行生动描述能让读者身临其境)”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。
3．答案：D
解析：下文“For example, a travel writer might use photos of a busy city or a peaceful landscape to recall sensory memories from a journey. Similarly, when I look at a painting...”举例说明旅行作家和作者本人如何使用照片和画作获得启发，此处是段首句，应总的说明绘画和照片的作用，因此D项“Paintings and photographs are particularly effective prompts. (绘画和照片是特别有效的创作提示)”符合语境，引出下文的具体案例。故选D。
4．答案：E
解析：上文“Next, let your mind wander, noting any emotions or ideas that arise.”介绍该方法的第二步，建议让思维发散，记录情绪或想法，下文“If your thoughts feel messy, that’s okay.”提醒不必在意思绪纷乱，此处应起到过渡作用，强调保持开放的思维，因此E项“The key to this step is staying open, not getting stuck in logic. (这一步的关键是保持开放，不要困于逻辑)”符合语境，承上启下。故选E。
5．答案：B
解析：上文“Art has a unique ability to free our minds from everyday limits.”指出艺术有解放思维的作用，下文“It might just be the boost your writing needs.”强调艺术对写作的帮助，此处应起到过渡作用，建议用艺术破解写作瓶颈，因此B项“So, the next time you’re stuck, try turning to art. (所以，下次遇到瓶颈时，试试求助于艺术吧)”符合语境，和上文是因果关系，引出下文，其中的art是下文it指代的对象。故选B。(共30张PPT)
课时作业27 UNIT 1 ART
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·浙江名校联盟第一次联考)Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.When I was five, my dog destroyed an ant nest and trying to make it up to them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔) for the magical creatures.When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated.
Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable.I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on.The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost.I was heartbroken.Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland.Alice is now in the Wonderland forever.But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places.In 2012, I met the Queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin.In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair.In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (孤独症) as an adult.In school, my teachers pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift.It’s pushed me to be the best I can be.I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place.I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me.We need to appreciate the little things in life.Small things can also be mighty.
