He smiled and opened it (21) . "These are my sketchbooks （速写本） from when I was your age，" he said.
Inside were (22) filled with wonderful pencil drawings—portraits of people，sketches of birds，and views of our neighbourhood.Each one looked alive，full of feeling and light.I had always thought of Grandpa as just a retired postman，but here was proof he was also an artist!

五、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共30分。
A
At the Westonaria agricultural park in South Africa，farm workers are busy planting vegetables.But there's silence around the park.That's because most people here are deaf and communicate in sign language.They're members of the Voiceout Deaf，farming project started by Matebogo Victoria.
Victoria has hearing problems herself，so she understands the challenges deaf people face.While studying at the university，she had to take classes with a hearing partner to help her understand and communicate with her teachers.
Victoria used to work for a bank.After she saw a lot of deaf people staying at home and unemployed （失业的），she hoped to do something to help. "Communication is the biggest challenge in the deaf community，" she said. "There are 44 schools for the deaf across South Africa.Many of the deaf either don't finish school or don't have enough money to travel far to go to one of the schools." After careful consideration，Victoria left her job and started an agricultural business to help deaf people gain farming skills and get jobs matching their skills.
As part of Voiceout Deaf，farmers-in-training work on three different farms.Most of them use sign language，making communication easy.Although each farm is a learning environment，it's also a workplace and a business.The farmers get paid for their work，and their produce sells very well.
Sibongile Maake is one of the farm workers. "I'm delighted with the work on the farm.I'm working slowly but surely，and I'm learning while making money.I can do things by myself.I am able to pay for things I need，" she said.
31.Why did Victoria start the project？______
A. To remind herself that life is hard for the deaf.
B. To enable the deaf to learn farming and get a job.
C. To show that deaf people can plant vegetables.
D. To help the deaf across South Africa to go to school.
32.What is right about Voiceout Deaf？______
A. They draw pictures to communicate with others.
B. Farmers work for free in exchange for lessons.
C. It's just a moving classroom for the deaf people.
D. People like buying what they grow on the farm.
33.What is the correct order of the following events？
①Victoria got a job opportunity at a bank.
②Victoria launched the farming project.
③Victoria studied at university with a partner.
④Victoria noticed deaf people were in great trouble.______
A. ③→②→④→① B. ④→②→③→① C. ④→①→②→③ D. ③→①→④→②
34.Which word（s） best describe Victoria？______

C. Thoughtful and dedicated. D. Creative and wealthy.
35.Where is this passage most likely to be found？______
A. In a travel guide. B. In a farming novel.

B
Art has always been a window into the human soul.It reflects our feelings，stories and dreams.But today，technology is starting to shape that window in ways we never imagined.Since the 1960s，artists have been using computers and screens to explore new forms of creativity.And now，with artificial intelligence （AI），machines are not only tools—they are becoming partners.
AI art is born when a human artist trains a computer to recognize a style，mood or concept.The machine studies thousands of images，follows rules and produces something "new".But is it really creative—or just copying and remixing what it's been shown？
AI is helpful in many ways.It can save time by doing repetitive tasks like colouring or pattern-making.It can restore （修复） damaged works，experiment with different looks，and even copy famous styles from the past.These abilities allow artists to explore more ideas，faster.
Still，there's something machines don't have—emotion.AI can recognize patterns，but it doesn't feel love，sadness or joy.Only humans know what it means to create from memory，experience or deep emotion.Only people give art its personal meaning.
Therefore，we must ask：Can a machine truly understand beauty the way we do？If an AI paints a perfect sunset，but has never felt warmth or wonder， does it mean anything at all？
In the future，art may be shaped by codes and algorithms （算法），but perhaps the true heart of art will always remain human—made not just by data，but by imagination，feeling and dreams.
36.Why might AI art seem "creative" even though it's not truly new？______
A. AI can copy and combine many artworks.
B. AI has its own ideas and feelings.
C. AI gives personal meanings to art.
D. AI always makes creative mistakes.
37.How does the writer feel about human emotion in the creative process？______
A. It is no use because machines can copy emotion.
B. It is what makes art truly meaningful and special.
C. It is not as important as other technical skills.
D. It is something AI will learn to copy perfectly soon.
38.Why does the writer ask "does it mean anything at all" about AI art in paragraph 5？______
A. To show that AI art is more beautiful.
B. To explain how AI learns from data online.
C. To describe how AI paints sunsets.
D. To question if AI understands real beauty.
39.What can we infer about the writer's attitude towards AI in art？______
A. The writer thinks AI art should not be used forever.
B. The writer believes AI will replace human artists.
C. The writer is curious but careful about AI's role in art.
D. The writer thinks AI can see things that humans can't.
40.What is the main idea of the passage？______
A. Machines can now totally understand how humans feel.
B. AI will make all human artists lose their jobs in the near future.
C. Technology has changed art，but true creativity remains human.
D. Art made by AI is way much better than art made by humans.
C
If your feed keeps serving you "colour walk" post lately，you might be wondering：Is this another trend that requires an expensive coffee and a camera worth more than my phone？Good news：A colour walk costs nothing and the only equipment you need is your eyes and your phone.
What exactly is a "colour walk"？It's a mindful，mini adventure where you choose one colour and let it guide you around your neighbourhood.Pick green，and suddenly you're following trees，shop signs，traffic lights，and that stranger's crazy neon green （荧光绿） trainers.The goal is to collect a "colour story"—a set of photos that proves two things：The world is vibrantly coloured，and you were paying attention.
By focusing on a single hue （色调），you train your brain to notice details you would normally overlook.For much of time，school→homework→scrolling→sleep→repeat.Colour walks flip that script.They are like meditation （冥想） in motion，boosting our mental well-being，reducing stress and increasing engagement with our surroundings.They gently lead our brains to slow down and，even better，switch them into treasure hunt mode （how fun is that？） except the treasure is...an everyday red postbox.And finding it feels oddly satisfying.
Spring is the perfect season for it.Everything is basically competing in a beauty contest：fresh greens，soft pinks，golden sunlight，little pops of colour everywhere，and flowers that look like they should be on a National Geographic cover.Even a route you've walked a hundred times can feel new when you're hunting for one particular colour.
So，pick a colour.If you're a beginner，start with something easy like green.If you're up for a challenge，go for hard mode and choose a colour like purple （I dare you）.Wander and mix it up：nature，buildings，objects，reflections!Add a silly rule if you want：only photograph，only look up，or only capture tiny things.It's your colour story!
A colour walk won't fix your whole life or rid you of exam stress，but it can make an ordinary afternoon feel brighter，calmer，and a little bit more yours.
41.What does the underlined word "feed" mean in paragraph 1？______
A. Give enough food to a person，group，or animal.
B. Put fuel on or inside something that can burn.
C. A web page that updates to show the latest news.
D. The part of a machine through which fuel is used.
42.What benefits can you get from taking a colour walk？______
A. A free coffee and an expensive camera.
B. The ability to become a famous artist.
C. Better mental health and less stress.
D. Higher and better scores in school exams.
43.Whose photos may best fit the colour story of red？______
A. John：Trees，grass，and traffic lights.
B. Amy：Different purple flowers in a garden.
C. Sam：Neon green trainers and purple shadows.
D. May：A red postbox，a fire engine，and a stop sign.
44.What is the right structure of the article？（① =Paragraph 1，② =Paragraph 2， ...）______
A. ①/②/③/④/⑤/⑥ B. ①/②/③/④⑤/⑥
C. ①②/③/④/⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③/④/⑤/⑥
45.What is the writing purpose of the article？______
A. To sell a new kind of camera on the latest phones.
B. To explain how to become a professional photographer.
C. To encourage readers to try colour walks for a happier mood.
D. To describe the history and special events of colour walks.
六、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。
46.根据短文内容，回答问题。
Among the most famous traditional Chinese paintings，there's a very long handscroll of horses titled One Hundred Horses.To many people's surprise，it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione.
Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name，Lang Shining （郎世宁）.He was born in 1688 in Milan，Italy.In 1715，he traveled to Beijing.With experience as a muralist，he was invited to work as a court artist.
Seven years later，Emperor Yongzheng came to power.By then，Castiglione had already made a name for himself.He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods.In 1724，Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses，a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long.
Painting on silk is no easy task.Once a brushstroke is placed，there is no going back.Castiglione first practiced on paper.After carefully planning every detail，he copied the design onto silk，stroke by stroke.
It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting.There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it.But the following emperor，Qianlong，was deeply impressed and called the painting a masterpiece.
As its title suggests，One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in various poses （姿势）.Some stand quietly，while others run，walk，drink water，roll on the ground or even fight.The painting's large size alone is enough to impress most viewers.A closer look，however，may surprise you further.Castiglione skillfully combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork.The trees，horses and people appear lifelike，yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush.
In One Hundred Horses，humans and nature live side by side in peace，and so do Eastern and Western beauty.Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much.
(1) What was Castiglione famous for？
______
(2) When did Castiglione finish drawing One Hundred Horses？
______
(3) Why did Castiglione practice painting One Hundred Horses on paper rather than silk？
______
(4) What makes One Hundred Horses a masterpiece？（ There should be more than one point.）
______
(5) Please appreciate the painting from the four aspects. （Look-What can you see？Feel-How does it make you feel？Think-What do you think of it？Discover-What else do you want to know about it？）
______
