Huang Gongwang was a famous Chinese artist in the Yuan Dynasty.He was good at music,poetry,writing and especially painting.
Huang was born in 1269 in today’s Jiangsu Province in China.He lost his parents at a very young age and grew up poor until a man from Zhejiang Province adopted him.The kind man was impressed by the boy’s talent.Huang once learnt painting under the guidance of Zhao Mengfu.
Between the ages of 50 and 62,Huang often travelled in nature.During the long-term travelling,he developed an interest in rivers and mountains.When living in Songjiang,Huang often observed and appreciated the fantastic scenery there.Sometimes he sat in the mountains all day,even forgetting to eat and have a rest.While enjoying the beauty of nature wholeheartedly,he got lots of good ideas about what to paint.
Huang drew lots of paintings during his life,but most of them have gone missing over the centuries.Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is one of the few surviving works and it is considered to be among his greatest works.It describes the autumn scenery along Fuchun River in the south of China with ink and wash.When creating this piece of painting,Huang often paid visits to Fuchun River.It was after years of efforts that Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains.Unluckily,this painting was later burnt into two pieces.Now,the two pieces are carefully kept in two different museums.
During Huang’s life,he made great achievements in painting.He avoided some old ways that artists painted rivers and mountains.And he believed that one should only paint when inspired.Due to his great ability in art,Huang was considered one of the Four Great Masters of the Yuan Dynasty.The others in the group included Ni Zan,Wu Zhen and Wang Meng.The Four Great Masters together changed the face of Chinese paintings,bringing a long-lasting influence on Chinese art.
(　　)24.What can be inferred about Huang Gongwang from Paragraph 3
A.He had an unhealthy eating habit.

D.He disliked travelling when he was young.

B.It’s a painting created by two painters.
C.It describes the beauty of four seasons.

Visiting museums has become increasingly popular among many people.Adults usually look at artworks based on their prior knowledge and expectations,often following the explanations on labels.They might focus on the artist’s techniques,historical context,or the meaning behind a painting.Children,however,pay attention to different things,such as bright colours,unusual shapes,or exciting scenes.Although many museums provide special activities for children,in most exhibitions,children can only get information from labels written for adults,which can be difficult for them to understand or follow.
In a recent study,researchers used eye-tracking technology to explore how different types of labels influenced children’s viewing experiences.They studied children aged 10 to 12 and compared three types of conditions:labels aimed at adults,playful storytelling labels for children,and no labels at all.By recording where the children looked and how long they focused on each part,researchers produced colour maps to show their patterns of attention.This method showed what the children noticed,and also how focused they were on the artworks.
The results were revealing.Children with child-focused labels paid more attention to the paintings.They looked closely at the interesting details in the descriptions,spent more time examining the artworks,and often asked museum staff for explanations.By contrast,children who read adult-focused labels behaved similarly to those who had no labels at all.They did not focus on any part of the painting and moved through the exhibition too fast to understand it well.
These findings suggest that museums need to reconsider how labels are designed for children.They also provide useful insights for art education in schools.Traditional lessons,such as reading from textbooks or listening to long speeches,often fail to fully engage students.Instead,storytelling that connects to children’s daily lives can help students develop a deeper understanding of art.Moreover,incorporating interactive activities,such as small group discussions or hands-on projects,could further encourage children to explore and appreciate art more actively.
(　　)28.What is the main problem for children in many museum exhibitions
A.Too many simple labels are used.
B.The exhibits are too crowded for children.
C.Museums don’t have programmes for children.
D.Labels are written mainly for adult visitors.
(　　)29.How did children with interesting,child-focused labels behave
A.They explored the artworks more actively.
B.They rushed through the paintings quickly.
C.They paid more attention to the labels’ humour.
D.They mostly ignored the artworks’ key features.
(　　)30.How could schools improve art education according to the study
A.Arrange more museum visits for students.
B.Use storytelling connected to students’ lives.
C.Depend on traditional lectures and textbooks.
D.Use new eye-tracking technology in classrooms.
(　　)31.Which is the suitable title for this passage
A.The Importance of Storytelling in Art Education
B.The Different Ways Adults and Children View Art
C.The Study of Improving Children’s Art Experience
D.The Use of Eye-Tracking Technology in Art Research
D
Contrary to popular opinion,the scientific pursuit of knowledge is not a predictable and well-defined process.To make new discoveries,researchers need the freedom to be creative,fail,and learn by chance.There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has a Eureka moment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights.Another impression is that research only involves formal steps.Neither of those ideas is correct.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable or imaginable,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers.“From the outside,the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy.But the scientific process can also unfold (展开) in an unpredictable way.Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.”
There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art.This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to amplify creative freedom.Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel,together with other scientists and artists,have designed a plan to learn from each other and to exchange ideas.One example is the special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells.A molecular (分子) sensor was used to visualise the different forces.They revealed the results in colourful images,each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society.There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science.“It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented,and people do not have any insight into the artistic process leading to discovery.As a scientist,you are criticised if you say that something is different a few years later.Then you are viewed as unreliable.But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science,” says Weijers.
(　　)32.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.The views on science research.
B.The purpose of science research.
C.The hardship of science research.
D.The attitude to science research.
(　　)33.What can we know from Weijers’s view
A.Scientists should have creative and associative thinking.
B.The artistic process is too messy to be used in research.
C.The scientific process always unfolds in an unpredictable way.
D.The research process and the artistic process are totally different.
(　　)34.What does the underlined word “amplify” in the third paragraph mean
A.Refuse. B.Detect.
C.Increase. D.Imply.
(　　)35.Why does the author mention Weijers’s research on plant cells
A.To stress the importance of thinking freely.
B.To display the beauty of colourful images.
C.To present the findings of his recent project.
D.To show the connection between science and art.

Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be tough if you don’t have much experience with art.Don’t worry.The following can help you gain an appreciation of abstract artworks enormously.
Relax as you look at abstract art.
36.　　　,it’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when your mind is in a relaxed state so that the art affects you in a positive way.Limit distractions around you,like your cellphone,and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.
37.　　　.
Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it.Try to approach the art with an open mind and don’t compare it with other works,especially if it’s not in the same style.
Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.
Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art,ask yourself how the art makes you feel.38.　　　,it has an emotional impact on you.Be honest with yourself when determining your real feeling.
Research the artist’s life.
Some galleries have an informational plaque (匾牌) near the artwork that describes the artist.Read the informational plaque next to the artwork.This is a great way to better understand the artist and his/her mindset when he/she created the art.Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness,rage,or happiness.39.　　　.
Speak and interact with abstract artists.
If you like,you can find abstract artists in collective studios or at their art shows.40.　　　. Getting their perspectives may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their works.
Well now,if you still don’t get abstract art and can’t appreciate it,try to create some artworks yourself.If you don’t know where to start,you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.
A.Look at the artwork as objectively as you can
B.If it makes you happy,sad,anxious,or excited
C.As long as you understand the techniques used to create the art
D.Since being distracted or stressed can actually affect how you enjoy art
E.Take the time to respectfully speak to them
F.For example,if the artist witnessed a war,a depressing feeling may be conveyed in his/her art
G.There are different styles and types of art for you to further research

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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk,staring at the math problems in front of her,confused and hopeless.At school,Emily was known for her artistic talents,but math had always been her weakness.No matter how hard she tried,she just couldn’t make sense of it.
The situation became worse in the 10th grade.The poor grades shook her confidence.“We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr Jenkins,a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style.Emily was unwilling to spend extra hours on a subject she hated,which seemed like a punishment.But she agreed,knowing something had to change.
At their first class,Mr Jenkins didn’t dive straight into problems.Instead,he asked about her interests.When Emily spoke excitedly about her painting,he smiled.“Math is like art,Emily.It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.” Doubtful but inspired,Emily listened as he began to explain concepts by using colours and shapes,turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的).For the first time,math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However,progress was slow.Weeks passed with limited improvement,and Emily’s patience ran out.A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears,convinced she was sure to fail.Mr Jenkins said,“Remember,Emily,every artist starts with a blank canvas (画布).Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief,Emily pushed on.She began to see the connections between the steps and how each solution followed a logical path.Small victories gave her some hope.Mr Jenkins was always there,celebrating her successes,no matter how small.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Gradually,Emily’s confidence grew with Mr Jenkins’ help.
Paragraph 2:
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived.核心素养提升(Unit 4)

Huang Gongwang was a famous Chinese artist in the Yuan Dynasty.He was good at music,poetry,writing and especially painting.
Huang was born in 1269 in today’s Jiangsu Province in China.He lost his parents at a very young age and grew up poor until a man from Zhejiang Province adopted him.The kind man was impressed by the boy’s talent.Huang once learnt painting under the guidance of Zhao Mengfu.
Between the ages of 50 and 62,Huang often travelled in nature.During the long-term travelling,he developed an interest in rivers and mountains.When living in Songjiang,Huang often observed and appreciated the fantastic scenery there.Sometimes he sat in the mountains all day,even forgetting to eat and have a rest.While enjoying the beauty of nature wholeheartedly,he got lots of good ideas about what to paint.
Huang drew lots of paintings during his life,but most of them have gone missing over the centuries.Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is one of the few surviving works and it is considered to be among his greatest works.It describes the autumn scenery along Fuchun River in the south of China with ink and wash.When creating this piece of painting,Huang often paid visits to Fuchun River.It was after years of efforts that Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains.Unluckily,this painting was later burnt into two pieces.Now,the two pieces are carefully kept in two different museums.
During Huang’s life,he made great achievements in painting.He avoided some old ways that artists painted rivers and mountains.And he believed that one should only paint when inspired.Due to his great ability in art,Huang was considered one of the Four Great Masters of the Yuan Dynasty.The others in the group included Ni Zan,Wu Zhen and Wang Meng.The Four Great Masters together changed the face of Chinese paintings,bringing a long-lasting influence on Chinese art.

Visiting museums has become increasingly popular among many people.Adults usually look at artworks based on their prior knowledge and expectations,often following the explanations on labels.They might focus on the artist’s techniques,historical context,or the meaning behind a painting.Children,however,pay attention to different things,such as bright colours,unusual shapes,or exciting scenes.Although many museums provide special activities for children,in most exhibitions,children can only get information from labels written for adults,which can be difficult for them to understand or follow.
In a recent study,researchers used eye-tracking technology to explore how different types of labels influenced children’s viewing experiences.They studied children aged 10 to 12 and compared three types of conditions:labels aimed at adults,playful storytelling labels for children,and no labels at all.By recording where the children looked and how long they focused on each part,researchers produced colour maps to show their patterns of attention.This method showed what the children noticed,and also how focused they were on the artworks.
The results were revealing.Children with child-focused labels paid more attention to the paintings.They looked closely at the interesting details in the descriptions,spent more time examining the artworks,and often asked museum staff for explanations.By contrast,children who read adult-focused labels behaved similarly to those who had no labels at all.They did not focus on any part of the painting and moved through the exhibition too fast to understand it well.
These findings suggest that museums need to reconsider how labels are designed for children.They also provide useful insights for art education in schools.Traditional lessons,such as reading from textbooks or listening to long speeches,often fail to fully engage students.Instead,storytelling that connects to children’s daily lives can help students develop a deeper understanding of art.Moreover,incorporating interactive activities,such as small group discussions or hands-on projects,could further encourage children to explore and appreciate art more actively.
(　　)28.What is the main problem for children in many museum exhibitions
A.Too many simple labels are used.
B.The exhibits are too crowded for children.
C.Museums don’t have programmes for children.
D.Labels are written mainly for adult visitors.
(　　)29.How did children with interesting,child-focused labels behave
A.They explored the artworks more actively.
B.They rushed through the paintings quickly.
C.They paid more attention to the labels’ humour.
D.They mostly ignored the artworks’ key features.
(　　)30.How could schools improve art education according to the study
A.Arrange more museum visits for students.
B.Use storytelling connected to students’ lives.
C.Depend on traditional lectures and textbooks.
D.Use new eye-tracking technology in classrooms.
(　　)31.Which is the suitable title for this passage
A.The Importance of Storytelling in Art Education
B.The Different Ways Adults and Children View Art
C.The Study of Improving Children’s Art Experience
D.The Use of Eye-Tracking Technology in Art Research

Contrary to popular opinion,the scientific pursuit of knowledge is not a predictable and well-defined process.To make new discoveries,researchers need the freedom to be creative,fail,and learn by chance.There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has a Eureka moment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights.Another impression is that research only involves formal steps.Neither of those ideas is correct.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable or imaginable,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers.“From the outside,the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy.But the scientific process can also unfold (展开) in an unpredictable way.Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.”
There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art.This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to amplify creative freedom.Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel,together with other scientists and artists,have designed a plan to learn from each other and to exchange ideas.One example is the special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells.A molecular (分子) sensor was used to visualise the different forces.They revealed the results in colourful images,each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society.There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science.“It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented,and people do not have any insight into the artistic process leading to discovery.As a scientist,you are criticised if you say that something is different a few years later.Then you are viewed as unreliable.But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science,” says Weijers.
(　　)32.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.The views on science research.
B.The purpose of science research.
C.The hardship of science research.
D.The attitude to science research.
(　　)33.What can we know from Weijers’s view
A.Scientists should have creative and associative thinking.
B.The artistic process is too messy to be used in research.
C.The scientific process always unfolds in an unpredictable way.
D.The research process and the artistic process are totally different.
(　　)34.What does the underlined word “amplify” in the third paragraph mean
A.Refuse. B.Detect.
C.Increase. D.Imply.
(　　)35.Why does the author mention Weijers’s research on plant cells
A.To stress the importance of thinking freely.
B.To display the beauty of colourful images.
C.To present the findings of his recent project.
D.To show the connection between science and art.
语篇导读:本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了艺术在科学研究中的作用。
答案及剖析:
32.A　段落大意题。作者在文章第一段提到了两种关于科学研究的不正确的看法,故第一段主要讨论关于科学研究的不同观点。故选A。
33.A　推理判断题。由第二段第一句和“But the scientific process...and make connections.”可知,科学过程也可以通过一种不可预测的方式展开,创造性思维和联想思维对科学家来说非常重要,科学家应具备创造性思维和联想思维。故选A。
34.C　猜测词义题。根据画线词上文可知,科学和艺术是有交叉点的,这就是为什么科学家会向艺术家寻求灵感并就如何扩大创作自由交换意见。amplify意为“扩大;增强”,与C项意思相近。故选C。
35.D　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句和最后一句可知,作者通过Weijers的研究事例说明艺术与科学之间的交叉融合,表明艺术与科学的联系,强调艺术灵感在科学研究中的价值。故选D。

Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be tough if you don’t have much experience with art.Don’t worry.The following can help you gain an appreciation of abstract artworks enormously.
Relax as you look at abstract art.
36.　　　,it’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when your mind is in a relaxed state so that the art affects you in a positive way.Limit distractions around you,like your cellphone,and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.
37.　　　.
Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it.Try to approach the art with an open mind and don’t compare it with other works,especially if it’s not in the same style.
Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.
Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art,ask yourself how the art makes you feel.38.　　　,it has an emotional impact on you.Be honest with yourself when determining your real feeling.
Research the artist’s life.
Some galleries have an informational plaque (匾牌) near the artwork that describes the artist.Read the informational plaque next to the artwork.This is a great way to better understand the artist and his/her mindset when he/she created the art.Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness,rage,or happiness.39.　　　.
Speak and interact with abstract artists.
If you like,you can find abstract artists in collective studios or at their art shows.40.　　　. Getting their perspectives may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their works.
Well now,if you still don’t get abstract art and can’t appreciate it,try to create some artworks yourself.If you don’t know where to start,you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.
A.Look at the artwork as objectively as you can
B.If it makes you happy,sad,anxious,or excited
C.As long as you understand the techniques used to create the art
D.Since being distracted or stressed can actually affect how you enjoy art
E.Take the time to respectfully speak to them
F.For example,if the artist witnessed a war,a depressing feeling may be conveyed in his/her art
G.There are different styles and types of art for you to further research
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何欣赏抽象艺术品。
答案及剖析:
36.D　从段落小标题“Relax as you look at abstract art.”以及下文的“it’s best to go to...in a positive way”可推知,前后句表示逻辑上的因果关系,前因后果,D项中的distracted与下文中的distractions呼应。故选D。
37.A　设空处为段落小标题。根据本段的内容可知,欣赏艺术品时要避免武断或被固有的观念束缚,要以开放的心态欣赏艺术品。由此可推知,本段主要讲的是要尽可能客观地欣赏艺术品,A项能够概括本段内容。故选A。
38.B　从下文的“it has an emotional impact on you”可推知,此处应表示艺术品给你的感受,B项能够引出下文,且与前文中的“...ask yourself how the art makes you feel”呼应。故选B。
39.F　从上文的“Most abstract art tries...or happiness.”可推知,此处应是举例进行进一步解释说明,F项符合语境。故选F。
40.E　根据段落小标题“Speak and interact with abstract artists.”以及此处下文可推知,花点时间和艺术家们对话,以便能对其创作的艺术品有更深层次的理解和认识,E项符合语境。故选E。

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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk,staring at the math problems in front of her,confused and hopeless.At school,Emily was known for her artistic talents,but math had always been her weakness.No matter how hard she tried,she just couldn’t make sense of it.
The situation became worse in the 10th grade.The poor grades shook her confidence.“We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr Jenkins,a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style.Emily was unwilling to spend extra hours on a subject she hated,which seemed like a punishment.But she agreed,knowing something had to change.
At their first class,Mr Jenkins didn’t dive straight into problems.Instead,he asked about her interests.When Emily spoke excitedly about her painting,he smiled.“Math is like art,Emily.It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.” Doubtful but inspired,Emily listened as he began to explain concepts by using colours and shapes,turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的).For the first time,math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However,progress was slow.Weeks passed with limited improvement,and Emily’s patience ran out.A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears,convinced she was sure to fail.Mr Jenkins said,“Remember,Emily,every artist starts with a blank canvas (画布).Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief,Emily pushed on.She began to see the connections between the steps and how each solution followed a logical path.Small victories gave her some hope.Mr Jenkins was always there,celebrating her successes,no matter how small.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

Gradually,Emily’s confidence grew with Mr Jenkins’ help.She found herself approaching maths problems with curiosity instead of anxiety.The once confusing numbers and symbols began to become patterns that she could understand .Mr Jenkins continued to teach her in his unique way.On the day of the final maths exam,Emily still felt a little nervous but it was different this time—she was prepared.Pen in hand,she carefully approached each problem,remembering the steps and visual cues Mr Jenkins had taught her. She managed to finish the paper.Now all she could do was wait for the results.
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived.She sat in the classroom,her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper .Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade—a bold “A”.Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes.She ran home merrily and showed Mr Jenkins the test paper.He praised her for what she had achieved,watching her with a proud smile .At that moment,Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of maths but also discovered the power of perseverance .
