Five Ancient Chinese Poems about Spring
As the winter chill still lingers through early spring,longing for warm days has sprung up everywhere.Before the flowers are in full blossom,here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring.The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong’s editions.
Spring Morning—by Meng Haoran (689—740) of the Tang Dynasty
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers
Written in a Village South of the Capital—by Cui Hu (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
In this house on this day last year,a pink face vied;
In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side.
I do not know today where the pink face has gone;
In vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown.
Happy Rain on a Spring Night (Excerpts)—by Du Fu (712—770) of the Tang Dynasty
Good rain knows its time right;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute,it moistens each thing.
Dreaming of the Southern Shore—by Bai Juyi (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
Fair Southern shore,
With scenes I adore.
At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire,
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire,
Which I can’t but admire.
Love Seeds—by Wang Wei (701—761) of the Tang Dynasty
Red berries grow in the southern land,
How many load in spring the trees
Gather them till full is your hand;
They would revive fond memories.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了五首关于春天的古诗词。
(　　)21.What can we learn about the poets
[A]Meng Haoran lived longer than other poets.
[B]Both Cui Hu and Bai Juyi died at the same age.
[C]All of the poets were not from the Tang Dynasty.
[D]Cui Hu wrote a poem highlighting the colour green.

(　　)22.Which one of the poems mentions the scene along a river
[A]Love Seeds.
[B]Happy Rain on a Spring Night.
[C]Dreaming of the Southern Shore.

The hustle and bustle (喧闹) of life,walking back and forth from the ideal to reality,and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask—these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online.And 124 internet users shared their works in a poem collection.
One blogger on social media who goes by the nickname Ge is one such poetry lover.The girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time,but also improvises (即兴创作) poems for others at night markets in Yunnan.As a street-stall poet,Ge often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers.Once the poem has been completed,
she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction.For her,everything in the world,no matter trivial or significant,can serve as her poetic inspiration.
“A glass,a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me...these all could become themes for my poems,” said Ge.
With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes,her poems strike a chord with many young people online,helping her gain over 190,000 followers.Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn,slow down to reflect on my life.”
Apart from poetry,various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life.But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them.“Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life.Yet poetry,
which can be used to excite the imagination,shows the beauty of daily life,” an 18-year-old said.So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life,the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his social media.
No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems,they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously,face their lives bravely and actively express themselves.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位网名叫隔的年轻诗人的故事,她的诗歌自由自在,节奏规律,主题广泛,在网上引起了许多年轻人的共鸣。
(　　)24.How does Ge find inspiration for her poems
[A]By referring to traditional Chinese poems.
[B]By attending various online poetry lectures.
[C]By exploring great moments in life.
[D]By observing everyday life.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知,对她来说,世界上的一切,无论琐碎还是重要,都可以成为她的诗歌灵感。隔认为,一个杯子,黎明中的一棵树,或者一个曾经和其说过话的人……这些都可以成为她诗歌的主题。由此可推知,隔通过观察日常生活找到她诗歌的灵感。故选D。
(　　)25.Why are Ge’s poems so popular with her followers
[A]Because they are original and full of imagination.
[B]Because they have a strong sense of rhythm.
[C]Because they record the beauty of small and ordinary things.
[D]Because they reflect the differences between the ideal and reality.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,她的诗歌自由自在,节奏规律,主题广泛,在网上引起了许多年轻人的共鸣,许多人评论说:“你的诗治愈了我,因为我能从不引人注目的事物中发现美,从而慢下来去反思生活。”由此可知,隔的诗在她的追随者中如此受欢迎是因为它们记录了小而平凡的事物的美。故选C。
(　　)26.What’s the 18-year-old’s attitude towards poetry
[A]Positive. [B]Neutral.
[C]Cautious. [D]Objective.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句可知,诗歌可以用来激发想象力,展示日常生活中的美好。因此,当他被日常生活中的美好启发时,他会把它写成几行诗,然后在社交媒体上和朋友们分享。由此可推知,这个18岁的年轻人对诗歌的态度是积极的。故选A。
(　　)27.What can we infer about the young poets in the last paragraph
[A]They hope to avoid challenges.
[B]They make their thoughts known bravely.
[C]They try to escape from the busy life.
[D]They intend to impress their peers.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知,最后一段中的年轻诗人们都试图勇敢地表达自己的想法。故选B。
C
Dunhuang Academy and a company jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Caves.Using the company’s newly-released Hetu artificial intelligence platform,coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project,visitors to the Mogao Caves can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang,director of the Dunhuang Academy,said that it has been cooperating with the company since March 2019.Using the latest Hetu technology,visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang art murals (壁画) outside the caves,through their mobile phones.This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the caves,aiding the protection of the cultural relics,while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain.It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Caves since the early 1990s.It has collected a wealth of data and has realised the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally.It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site,as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Hetu platform unites Dunhuang’s study findings,high-resolution images of the site’s murals and virtual,three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Caves.It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot,but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the caves.When people visit the site,they not only have the experience of seeing the real caves,but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future,Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with the company to create more colourful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao art on the platform,helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang art better.

Music can really affect your well-being,learning,quality of life,and even happiness.The fact that music can make a difficult task more tolerable may be why students often choose to listen to it while doing their homework.But is listening to music the smart choice for students who want to improve their learning A new study suggests that for some students,listening to music is a wise strategy,but for others,it isn’t.The effect of music on cognitive (认知的) function appears to depend partly on your personality—specifically,on your need for external stimulation (刺激).
Researchers not only assessed listeners’ personality but also changed the difficulty of the task and the complexity of the music.Participants first completed a personality test used to determine the need for external stimulation.Then,they engaged in an easy cognitive task (searching for the letter A in lists of words) and a more challenging one (remembering word pairs) in order.Participants finished both tasks under one of two sound conditions:(1)no music,(2)with music.
The data suggest that for those with a high need of external stimulation,on the simple task of finding A,the scores for the music condition were significantly worse than those for the silent condition.On the complex task of learning word pairs,their performance was worse whenever music was played.For those with a low need of external stimulation,however,on the simple task,such participants’ scores for the music condition were much better than those for the silent condition.On the complex task of learning word pairs,the participants showed a small but reliable benefit when listening to music.
According to the study,there are individual differences in the impact of music on cognitive(认知) function.Students who are easily bored and who seek out stimulation should be cautious of adding music to the mix.On the other hand,students with a low need for stimulation may benefit significantly from the presence of music.
With the right personality,the right music and the right task,the presence of music may significantly improve cognitive functioning.Given the benefits of music,subscription to Spoti will be rewarding!
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章通过实验证明了在恰当的个性、恰当的音乐和恰当的任务的情况下,音乐的存在可以显著提高认知功能。
(　　)32.What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2
[A]Participants’ response to music is only involved.
[B]Participants finally took the test for personality.
[C]The difficulty of the two tasks decreased in the experiment.
[D]Participants were grouped by their need for external stimulation.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知,参与者们首先要完成性格测试,根据测试的结果来确定是否需要外部刺激,那么这两类人就根据他们对外部刺激的需求被分成不同的组来进行试验。故选D。
(　　)33.What can we infer from the result of the research
[A]The complexity of tasks might reduce the benefit of music.
[B]Students should listen to music when performing complex tasks.
[C]Students with less external stimulation perform badly with music.
[D]Students seeking for external stimulation benefit from the music.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,通过对两组参与者进行测试发现,在复杂任务中,需要大量外部刺激的人只要播放音乐,表现就会变差,而对于不太需要外部刺激的人来说,音乐只起一点点作用,远不及他们在简单任务中音乐所起的作用大。由此可推知,复杂任务会降低音乐的益处。故选A。
(　　)34.What might the underlined word “Spoti” be
[A]A travel guide.
[B]A psychology journal.
[C]A music platform.
[D]A personality test.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据最后一段内容可知,订阅Spoti会有回报,而本文旨在阐述音乐对提高认知功能的影响。由此可推知,本文是一篇由音乐平台发布的文章,以此向人们揭露并宣传音乐对于认知功能的影响,因此画线词Spoti指的应是一个音乐平台。故选C。
(　　)35.Which could be a suitable title for the article
[A]Why Is Music Essential in Your Study
[B]Does Music Promote Your Cognitive Performance
[C]How Can Music Affect Your External Stimulation
[D]Is Music Beneficial to Your Personality
【答案】 B
【解析】 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“But is listening to music...improve their learning ”可知,本文第一段提出听音乐对学生来说到底是不是一个明智的选择这一问题,接下来的段落通过一个实验来验证音乐是否有利于提高认知功能;最后一段总结出这一问题的答案。由此可知,本文一直是围绕音乐是否能提高认知功能这一话题来进行阐述的,因此B项最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。

As an artist who shares her journey on social media,I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.Unfortunately,there is no magic list I can offer.I do remember,
though,what it was like to be a complete beginner.So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
·Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies.These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard (跳板) for more complex works in the future.
36.　　　 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come.
·Paint often and paint from life.There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.Whether you paint still lifes,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.37.　　
·Continually challenge yourself to try something new.38.　　　 Artistic growth can be a bit painful.Welcome to the club;we’ve all been there.I love taking on challenges.I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
·39.　　　 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and,in turn,have met some of the kindest people.They make me feel valued and respected,no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path.40.　　　 Push through,give it time and put in the effort.You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A.Get out of your comfort zone.
B.Listen to people’s comments.
C.Don’t throw away your beginner art.
D.Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E.You’ll hit roadblocks,and you’ll feel discouraged at times.
F.Evaluate your performance and,if needed,redefine your role.

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was six,I played my first soccer game.It was a real game,with coaches,uniforms,
and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams,Team One and Team Two,seemed pretty evenly matched,at least in the beginning.The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side.We were all still learning how to play the game properly,and our inexperience ran through this part.We stumbled over the ball,tripped over our own feet,and often completely missed our kicks.But what mattered most was that we were having fun,pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game.Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes(替补),except for me—I was left guarding the goal.On the other side,Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field,which made things even more challenging for us.It seemed that winning suddenly became essential,even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game,and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal.I was determined to do my best,but it was tough.I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players.Team Two began to score,one goal after another.I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather,trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting,and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me.I shouted,I ran,and I dove,but they kept scoring.I gave it everything I had,but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines,and I could see them in the crowd.As the game progressed,I could see the change in my father’s expression.He had been urging me to try harder,yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines,but now he seemed different.I could see the pain in his eyes,the pain he felt seeing me struggle.It made me want to cry.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Team Two scored their fourth goal,and it was half-time break.



Paragraph 2:
In that moment,what my father said meant the world to me.

Five Ancient Chinese Poems about Spring
As the winter chill still lingers through early spring,longing for warm days has sprung up everywhere.Before the flowers are in full blossom,here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring.The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong’s editions.
Spring Morning—by Meng Haoran (689—740) of the Tang Dynasty
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers
Written in a Village South of the Capital—by Cui Hu (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
In this house on this day last year,a pink face vied;
In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side.
I do not know today where the pink face has gone;
In vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown.
Happy Rain on a Spring Night (Excerpts)—by Du Fu (712—770) of the Tang Dynasty
Good rain knows its time right;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute,it moistens each thing.
Dreaming of the Southern Shore—by Bai Juyi (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
Fair Southern shore,
With scenes I adore.
At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire,
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire,
Which I can’t but admire.
Love Seeds—by Wang Wei (701—761) of the Tang Dynasty
Red berries grow in the southern land,
How many load in spring the trees
Gather them till full is your hand;
They would revive fond memories.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了五首关于春天的古诗词。
(　　)21.What can we learn about the poets
[A]Meng Haoran lived longer than other poets.
[B]Both Cui Hu and Bai Juyi died at the same age.

[B]Happy Rain on a Spring Night.
[C]Dreaming of the Southern Shore.

[C]Autumn. [D]Winter.
【答案】 A

The hustle and bustle (喧闹) of life,walking back and forth from the ideal to reality,and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask—these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online.And 124 internet users shared their works in a poem collection.
One blogger on social media who goes by the nickname Ge is one such poetry lover.The girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time,but also improvises (即兴创作) poems for others at night markets in Yunnan.As a street-stall poet,Ge often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers.Once the poem has been completed,
she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction.For her,everything in the world,no matter trivial or significant,can serve as her poetic inspiration.
“A glass,a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me...these all could become themes for my poems,” said Ge.
With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes,her poems strike a chord with many young people online,helping her gain over 190,000 followers.Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn,slow down to reflect on my life.”
Apart from poetry,various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life.But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them.“Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life.Yet poetry,
which can be used to excite the imagination,shows the beauty of daily life,” an 18-year-old said.So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life,the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his social media.
No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems,they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously,face their lives bravely and actively express themselves.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位网名叫隔的年轻诗人的故事,她的诗歌自由自在,节奏规律,主题广泛,在网上引起了许多年轻人的共鸣。
(　　)24.How does Ge find inspiration for her poems
[A]By referring to traditional Chinese poems.
[B]By attending various online poetry lectures.
[C]By exploring great moments in life.
[D]By observing everyday life.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知,对她来说,世界上的一切,无论琐碎还是重要,都可以成为她的诗歌灵感。隔认为,一个杯子,黎明中的一棵树,或者一个曾经和其说过话的人……这些都可以成为她诗歌的主题。由此可推知,隔通过观察日常生活找到她诗歌的灵感。故选D。
(　　)25.Why are Ge’s poems so popular with her followers
[A]Because they are original and full of imagination.
[B]Because they have a strong sense of rhythm.
[C]Because they record the beauty of small and ordinary things.
[D]Because they reflect the differences between the ideal and reality.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,她的诗歌自由自在,节奏规律,主题广泛,在网上引起了许多年轻人的共鸣,许多人评论说:“你的诗治愈了我,因为我能从不引人注目的事物中发现美,从而慢下来去反思生活。”由此可知,隔的诗在她的追随者中如此受欢迎是因为它们记录了小而平凡的事物的美。故选C。
(　　)26.What’s the 18-year-old’s attitude towards poetry
[A]Positive. [B]Neutral.
[C]Cautious. [D]Objective.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句可知,诗歌可以用来激发想象力,展示日常生活中的美好。因此,当他被日常生活中的美好启发时,他会把它写成几行诗,然后在社交媒体上和朋友们分享。由此可推知,这个18岁的年轻人对诗歌的态度是积极的。故选A。
(　　)27.What can we infer about the young poets in the last paragraph
[A]They hope to avoid challenges.
[B]They make their thoughts known bravely.
[C]They try to escape from the busy life.
[D]They intend to impress their peers.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知,最后一段中的年轻诗人们都试图勇敢地表达自己的想法。故选B。
C
Dunhuang Academy and a company jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Caves.Using the company’s newly-released Hetu artificial intelligence platform,coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project,visitors to the Mogao Caves can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang,director of the Dunhuang Academy,said that it has been cooperating with the company since March 2019.Using the latest Hetu technology,visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang art murals (壁画) outside the caves,through their mobile phones.This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the caves,aiding the protection of the cultural relics,while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain.It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Caves since the early 1990s.It has collected a wealth of data and has realised the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally.It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site,as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Hetu platform unites Dunhuang’s study findings,high-resolution images of the site’s murals and virtual,three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Caves.It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot,but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the caves.When people visit the site,they not only have the experience of seeing the real caves,but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future,Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with the company to create more colourful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao art on the platform,helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang art better.

D
Music can really affect your well-being,learning,quality of life,and even happiness.The fact that music can make a difficult task more tolerable may be why students often choose to listen to it while doing their homework.But is listening to music the smart choice for students who want to improve their learning A new study suggests that for some students,listening to music is a wise strategy,but for others,it isn’t.The effect of music on cognitive (认知的) function appears to depend partly on your personality—specifically,on your need for external stimulation (刺激).
Researchers not only assessed listeners’ personality but also changed the difficulty of the task and the complexity of the music.Participants first completed a personality test used to determine the need for external stimulation.Then,they engaged in an easy cognitive task (searching for the letter A in lists of words) and a more challenging one (remembering word pairs) in order.Participants finished both tasks under one of two sound conditions:(1)no music,(2)with music.
The data suggest that for those with a high need of external stimulation,on the simple task of finding A,the scores for the music condition were significantly worse than those for the silent condition.On the complex task of learning word pairs,their performance was worse whenever music was played.For those with a low need of external stimulation,however,on the simple task,such participants’ scores for the music condition were much better than those for the silent condition.On the complex task of learning word pairs,the participants showed a small but reliable benefit when listening to music.
According to the study,there are individual differences in the impact of music on cognitive(认知) function.Students who are easily bored and who seek out stimulation should be cautious of adding music to the mix.On the other hand,students with a low need for stimulation may benefit significantly from the presence of music.
With the right personality,the right music and the right task,the presence of music may significantly improve cognitive functioning.Given the benefits of music,subscription to Spoti will be rewarding!
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章通过实验证明了在恰当的个性、恰当的音乐和恰当的任务的情况下,音乐的存在可以显著提高认知功能。
(　　)32.What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2
[A]Participants’ response to music is only involved.
[B]Participants finally took the test for personality.
[C]The difficulty of the two tasks decreased in the experiment.
[D]Participants were grouped by their need for external stimulation.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知,参与者们首先要完成性格测试,根据测试的结果来确定是否需要外部刺激,那么这两类人就根据他们对外部刺激的需求被分成不同的组来进行试验。故选D。
(　　)33.What can we infer from the result of the research
[A]The complexity of tasks might reduce the benefit of music.
[B]Students should listen to music when performing complex tasks.
[C]Students with less external stimulation perform badly with music.
[D]Students seeking for external stimulation benefit from the music.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,通过对两组参与者进行测试发现,在复杂任务中,需要大量外部刺激的人只要播放音乐,表现就会变差,而对于不太需要外部刺激的人来说,音乐只起一点点作用,远不及他们在简单任务中音乐所起的作用大。由此可推知,复杂任务会降低音乐的益处。故选A。
(　　)34.What might the underlined word “Spoti” be
[A]A travel guide.
[B]A psychology journal.
[C]A music platform.
[D]A personality test.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据最后一段内容可知,订阅Spoti会有回报,而本文旨在阐述音乐对提高认知功能的影响。由此可推知,本文是一篇由音乐平台发布的文章,以此向人们揭露并宣传音乐对于认知功能的影响,因此画线词Spoti指的应是一个音乐平台。故选C。
(　　)35.Which could be a suitable title for the article
[A]Why Is Music Essential in Your Study
[B]Does Music Promote Your Cognitive Performance
[C]How Can Music Affect Your External Stimulation
[D]Is Music Beneficial to Your Personality
【答案】 B
【解析】 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“But is listening to music...improve their learning ”可知,本文第一段提出听音乐对学生来说到底是不是一个明智的选择这一问题,接下来的段落通过一个实验来验证音乐是否有利于提高认知功能;最后一段总结出这一问题的答案。由此可知,本文一直是围绕音乐是否能提高认知功能这一话题来进行阐述的,因此B项最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,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。
As an artist who shares her journey on social media,I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.Unfortunately,there is no magic list I can offer.I do remember,
though,what it was like to be a complete beginner.So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
·Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies.These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard (跳板) for more complex works in the future.
36.　　　 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come.
·Paint often and paint from life.There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.Whether you paint still lifes,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.37.　　
·Continually challenge yourself to try something new.38.　　　 Artistic growth can be a bit painful.Welcome to the club;we’ve all been there.I love taking on challenges.I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
·39.　　　 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and,in turn,have met some of the kindest people.They make me feel valued and respected,no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path.40.　　　 Push through,give it time and put in the effort.You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A.Get out of your comfort zone.
B.Listen to people’s comments.
C.Don’t throw away your beginner art.
D.Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E.You’ll hit roadblocks,and you’ll feel discouraged at times.
F.Evaluate your performance and,if needed,redefine your role.
G.You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些关于开启艺术之旅的建议。
36.【答案】 C
【解析】 根据上下文可知,从建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践到回顾自己的艺术之旅,设空处应是一个过渡句,C项符合文意,和下文的“回顾”形成顺承关系。故选C。
37.【答案】 G
【解析】 设空处位于段尾,应是对本段的总结,根据上文可知,本段主要讲述的是要不断练习绘画,G项是对上文的总结,repetition是关键信息。故选G。
38.【答案】 A
【解析】 设空处位于段落第二句,应是对前一句的进一步解释说明,并同时引出下文,根据空前一句以及下文空后一句可知,A项符合文意,是对前一句的进一步说明,并和下文构成顺承关系。故选A。
39.【答案】 D

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was six,I played my first soccer game.It was a real game,with coaches,uniforms,
and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams,Team One and Team Two,seemed pretty evenly matched,at least in the beginning.The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side.We were all still learning how to play the game properly,and our inexperience ran through this part.We stumbled over the ball,tripped over our own feet,and often completely missed our kicks.But what mattered most was that we were having fun,pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game.Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes(替补),except for me—I was left guarding the goal.On the other side,Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field,which made things even more challenging for us.It seemed that winning suddenly became essential,even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game,and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal.I was determined to do my best,but it was tough.I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players.Team Two began to score,one goal after another.I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather,trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting,and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me.I shouted,I ran,and I dove,but they kept scoring.I gave it everything I had,but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines,and I could see them in the crowd.As the game progressed,I could see the change in my father’s expression.He had been urging me to try harder,yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines,but now he seemed different.I could see the pain in his eyes,the pain he felt seeing me struggle.It made me want to cry.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Team Two scored their fourth goal,and it was half-time break.



Paragraph 2:
In that moment,what my father said meant the world to me.

　　One possible version:
Team Two scored their fourth goal,and it was half-time break.I retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee,feeling utterly helpless.Overwhelmed with despair,I dropped to my knees,tears of a broken-hearted child rolling down my cheeks.It was in that moment that my father made his way onto the field.When he picked me up and held me tightly,the whole world seemed to disappear for a moment.He said in a gentle but firm voice,“Sweetie,it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you.I’m proud of you.I want you to go back out there and finish the game.Go on now!”
In that moment,what my father said meant the world to me.When I felt all alone and defeated,knowing that my dad stood by my side,loving and supporting me unconditionally,
made all the difference in the world—I could tell it did.Without hesitation,I wiped away my tears and ran back onto the field,ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.And yes,
they did score two more times,but this time,it was different.With my dad’s words echoing in my heart,I knew that I could keep going,no matter what.
点津:中的retrieved the ball、handed it to the referee为动作描写;feeling utterly helpless为现在分词短语作状语;
中的overwhelmed with despair为形容词短语作状语;dropped to my knees 为动作描写;tears of a broken-hearted child rolling down my cheeks为独立主格结构;
中的made his way onto意为“前往……”,为动作描写;此句为it was...that...强调句型;
中的wiped away my tears and ran back onto为动作描写;whatever challenges lay ahead为宾语从句;
中的echo意为“回响”;with my dad’s words echoing in my heart为with 复合结构; 此句为心理描写。
