A
If you want to know more about paintings which are famous worldwide, here are four you can’t miss.
The Kiss
Artist: Gustav Klimt
Estimated date:1907 to 1908
From Klimt’s work, Byzantine artistic influences can be seen in the highly decorative robes (长袍) worn by the passionate, life-sized couple. The museum says that with The Kiss, Klimt makes a unique statement about love being at the heart of human existence.
Guernica
Artist: Pablo Picasso
Date: 1937
This is the most recent painting on this list, and it shows the German bombing of the town of Guernica in the Basque region during the Spanish Civil War. The painting has that distinctive Picasso style, and its serious examination of the horrors of war made it an essential part of the 20th century culture and history.
The Birth of Venus
Artist: Sandro Botticelli
Estimated date:1485
It was probably created by a member of the wealthy and art-loving Medici family, which ruled Florence and nearby areas for centuries. Marrying a renewed interest in classic Greek culture with Early Renaissance style,Botticelli creates an unforgettable figure with the Goddess of Love emerging from a huge seashell.
Girl With a Pearl Earring
Artist:Johannes Vermeer
Estimated date:1665
This fantastic favorite often gets compared with the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Besides the stylistic differences，technically Girl With a Pearl Earring isn’t even a portrait(肖像)，but a“tronie”—a Dutch word for a painting of an imaginary figure with impressive features. The oil on the masterpiece is brilliant in its simplicity. The girl—wearing a blue and gold turban(头巾)and an oversized pearl earring—is the entire focus with only a dark backdrop behind her.
1. Who is the creator of The Kiss
A．Leonardo da Vinci.
B．Sandro Botticelli.
C．Johannes Vermeer.
D．Gustav Klimt.
2. What is the painting by Pablo Picasso about
A．A cruel war.
B．A happy couple.
C．A royal family.
D．A lovely girl.
3. Of the following works,which is the oldest

When Amanda Rulton picked up a cheap coloring book and some felt-tip pens, she didn’t expect the activity to stick. It came when she was in the middle of a health crisis. Eighteen months ago, she had an infection and was rushed into emergency surgery twice, followed by numerous hospital stays. “My mental health has completely collapsed,” said Rulton, 28, from Liverpool, in the UK. “I can’t do the hobbies I once enjoyed, so having time to sit and be present in something that isn’t effortful has been really helpful.”
For Rulton, coloring turned into a daily routine. She began posting “color with me” videos to her TikTok account, many of which belong to what TikTok users call “cozy coloring”—pages with thick outlines and soft themes, designed for slow, low-pressure evenings.
The “cozy coloring” has recently dominated adult coloring charts—simple line art with large shapes meant for quick, relaxing fills. “When I first started, my focus was on kids and teenagers,” a London-based illustrator Miss Kitsch said, “but now the majority of my audience is adults, so I like to think of my books as a way to tend to the inner child within all of us.” She believes the nostalgia (怀旧) is powerful: “It’s not only a way to unwind after a busy day for adults, but also a chance to reconnect with creativity they may not have explored since childhood.”
Girija Kaimal, professor of the Creative Arts Therapies at Drexel University, thinks coloring’s appeal runs deeper than that. “We were hunter-gatherers. We worked with our hands and used all our senses. Coloring takes us back there,” she noted. As for why it feels rewarding, “by the end of it, you have something colorful,” she explained. “In nature, when you see color, it usually implies richness.”
She added that this kind of activity “lets people play again.” “Skill doesn’t matter; we are allowed to play as adults, however silly,” she said.
4. Why did Rulton take up coloring
A．To recover from her physical injuries.
B．To manage her emotional well-being.
C．To prepare herself to be a TikTok creator.
D．To replace her previous effortless hobbies.
5. What is the key feature of “cozy coloring” on TikTok
A．Digital and interactive.
B．Demanding and rewarding.
C．Recreational and systematic.
D．Straightforward and comforting.
6. What benefit does Kitsch believe her coloring books bring to adults
A．Regaining a creative self.
B．Relating to their children.
C．Achieving good artistic taste.
D．Uncovering unknown fields.
7. What do Kaimal’s words suggest about coloring
A．It evolves significantly over time.
B．It fulfills a fundamental human need.
C．It conveys different symbolic meanings.
D．It presents the early ancient ways of life.
C
Facing intense competition for foods, sea otters (海獭) survive with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them break open tougher prey (猎物) that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat.
That’s according to a new study of sea otters in Monterey Bay, California, which took a look at the tool use of individual otters. The findings reveal how this may increase their chances of survival in an uncertain world. Sea otters spend their days looking around for food in kelp (海草) forests. They dive to the bottom to grab tasty food, plus sometimes rocks that they plan to use as tools. They bring these to the surface and float on their backs as they get to work on opening and eating their snacks. “Their preferred food is urchins (海胆),” says biologist Chris Law, who notes that urchins are relatively easy for otters to break apart. But there are areas over-abundance of urchins, where urchins have eaten all the kelp. Since the kelp is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and provide little nutritional value for otters. That’s a matter of life-and-death to otters, so they aren’t interested in consuming them.
“So that means otters have to eat alternative foods,” says Law. “Many of them are those super hard prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into.” Law and some co-workers analyzed data on 196 otters in California. It turns out that frequent tool users were able to eat harder and larger prey. This was particularly important for female otters, since they’re smaller than males and aren’t able to bite down with as much force.
“They typically wouldn’t be able to break into harder prey,” says Law. “But they use tools more than males, so they’re able to gain access to these novel sources of food items.” Besides, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. The researchers found that tool users had less dental damage from biting hard food items.
8. What can we infer about kelp and urchins
A．Urchins survive kelp.
B．Urchins destroy kelp forests.
C．Kelp and urchins coexist.
D．Kelp restricts urchins’ growth.
9. Why are urchins abandoned by sea otters
A．Urchins offer little nutrition.
B．Otters find novel food items.
C．Urchins are hard to break apart.
D．Otters are tired of eating urchins.
10. What can we know about male otters
A．They prefer to consume soft food.
B．They make less use of tools for food.
C．Their food chain has been broken.
D．Their teeth are easier to get damaged.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．Sea Otters’ Favorite Food: Urchins in Kelp Forests.
B．The Relationship Between Sea Otters’ Diet and Kelp Forests.
C．Differences in Tool Use Between Male and Female Sea Otters.
D．Tool Use: A Key to Sea Otters’ Survival in Competition for Food.
D
Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world.
In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas.
However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1
A．By explaining a technical term.
B．By contrasting the statistics.
C．By providing the study’s background.
D．By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods
A．It generates blood more rapidly.
B．It prevents clots from forming again.
C．It is recyclable and economical.
D．It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs
A．The cost of medical robotics.
B．The reason behind the numerous trials.
C．The inspiration behind the innovation.
D．The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about
A．Choice of new research methods.
B．Possible direction for further study.
C．Necessity for tests on more animals.
D．Potential application of the invention.

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。
“Today’s the day, Dad,” Ethan said as he poured cereal (麦片) into a bowl. “I hope I don’t let the team down.” Ethan was going to be pitching (投球) for the first time. “Oh, you’ll do fine,” Dad said. “You’ve been practicing for months.”
“Do you have time to feed the goats before you leave ” Dad asked. “Sure. I have fifteen minutes before Justine and her dad pick me up.” “Great. Thank you.” Dad grabbed his car keys. “I’m sorry I have to leave before you, but Grandma has no other way to get to her appointment with the doctor. Good luck at the game today.”
Ethan wolfed down his cereal and headed out to the barn (畜棚). As he fed the goats, he tried to remember all the pitching tips Coach Schultz had given him. Then he spotted their young goat Zeke opening the gate! Ethan dashed over to stop him from escaping. He was too late.
Zeke bounded toward the field. Oh no! I don’t have time for this, Ethan thought, feeling sweat break out under his baseball cap. Knowing he couldn’t leave with Zeke on the loose, Ethan quickly figured out he’d need a bucket of cracked corn to attract the goat and a rope to catch him and lead him back. By that time, Zeke had disappeared into the trees in the far corner.
A car stopped in the driveway. “Ready to go ” Justine called out her window. “I — I can’t go right now,” he said. “I have to get our goat back into his barn.” “Can we help ” Justine’s dad asked. “Thanks, but I don’t think you have time.” Ethan said. “Warm-up starts soon.” “I’ll come back and help you after I take Justine to the place,” Justine’s dad said. “Thanks.” Ethan tried to swallow the lump in his throat as he went to get the corn and the rope.
After he had them, he ran back to the trees. But Zeke saw him and rushed off, getting farther and farther away. Ethan collapsed down on the ground to catch his breath. He knew the team would be starting their warm-up by now. He wished he could be there with them.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, a minibus stopped before Ethan, out of which jumped Coach Schultz and the kids from the team.

Just then, a minibus stopped before Ethan, out of which jumped Coach Schultz and the kids from the team. They noticed Ethan sitting tiredly on the ground and asked what had happened. Ethan explained that his little goat Zeke ran away into the woods. Without hesitation, all teammates volunteered to help catch the goat. They spread out in the woods, calling Zeke’s name and carrying corn to attract him. Soon one boy spotted Zeke hiding behind a tree, and they gently led the goat back to the barn together.
“Thanks, guys,” Ethan said. “I’m sorry this took so much of our warm-up time.” Coach Schultz patted Ethan’s shoulder and told him not to worry. Helping others was more important than warm-ups, and the whole team was glad to give him a hand. On the way to the court, teammates encouraged Ethan to relax and show his pitching skills. Later in the game, Ethan pitched perfectly, winning praise from everyone. He realized that true teamwork meant helping each other through trouble.
