Ⅱ.七选五(共5题;每题2.5分,共12.5分)
　　One of the best ways to immerse yourself in art as an art lover is to begin by browsing an art gallery.However,whether it is a lack of information on the walls,the overwhelming size of the collections,or the fear that you somehow aren’t “getting” what you are looking at,an art gallery can be potentially less friendly.1.　　
Selecting an Art Gallery Show
Selecting an exhibition could be as simple as looking around your own neighbourhood or getting to know the art districts you are planning to visit.2.　　　 Once you find some galleries to visit,check out their websites for different shows and exhibitions.Then,choose a show or two that interests you or that matches what you’re looking for in terms of a collection.
Do Some Pre-visit Research
3.　　　 It is always a good idea to read the exhibition description carefully to understand the scope (范围) and scale of the show.You can also do some research about the show itself to give yourself more context.
Take a Quick First Look
Upon arriving at the gallery,it’s helpful to have a viewing strategy.Instinctively (本能地),many people move through an exhibition,reading everything in the order presented.However,walking the entire gallery space quickly will give you an overall sense of the exhibition or show.4.　　
Have a More Focused Walk Through
Do a second “once around”,this time closing in more on the artworks that spark your interest most.This step is perhaps the most satisfying part of any gallery visit.It is a chance to really take in what first appeals to you.5.　　　 You can look and appreciate the colours and form,or read the descriptions and delve into the context of the artwork.What matters is that you find it interesting,and are eager to learn more about it.
A.You can find galleries on the search engine,too.
B.How you do this is entirely up to you.
C.Its point is to excite your interest in what is being presented.
D.Thorough research enables you to better understand artists and works.
E.Checking their websites regularly keeps you informed about their collections.
F.Another recommendation would be to sign up for the gallery’s email newsletter.
G.Therefore,learning how to explore an art gallery is a valuable skill for newcomers.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章是一篇关于艺术爱好者如何参观美术馆的指南。
答案及剖析:
1.G　前文指出艺术画廊因信息不足、藏品庞大、理解困难等问题可能“不够友好”,设空处需衔接“问题”与下文“解决方法”(逛画廊的技巧)。G项用Therefore承接前文的负面情况,引出下文的具体建议,逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选G。
2.A　根据前文可知,“选择展览可从周边或计划参观的艺术区入手”,设空处需补充“寻找画廊的其他方式”。A项用too呼应前文的寻找途径,丰富了选择画廊的方法,符合语境。故选A。
3.D　本段主题是Do Some Pre-visit Research,设空处需点明研究的作用。D项直接解释了“为何要做研究”,与后文“仔细阅读展览描述、了解展览范围”形成因果支撑。故选D。
4.C　根据前文可知,“快速浏览整个画廊空间能让你对展览有整体认知”,设空处需说明“快速浏览的目的”。C项用Its point指代“快速浏览”的作用,衔接前文的“整体认知”,并为下文“聚焦感兴趣的作品”作铺垫。故选C。
5.B　根据后文可知,“你可以欣赏色彩和形式,也可以阅读说明、了解作品背景”,设空处需体现 “欣赏方式的灵活性”。B项既总结了“聚焦浏览”的核心——按个人喜好选择,又引出后文的具体方式,逻辑通顺,符合语境。故选B。

1.C　根据后文“I couldn’t ...for nights.”可知,视频里的人熟练地(expertly)将各种颜色融合在一起,所以才会让作者感觉树脂艺术很美。故选C。

7.D　根据后文“Resin is a heavy liquid...controlled.”可知,树脂比较重,使用的时候不好控制,可推断树脂艺术创造比看起来要复杂(complex)。故选D。

11.A　根据后文“So I had an idea...a resin art website.”可知,作者决定向公众售卖自己的作品并建立一个树脂艺术网站,句首的So表明这是结果,可推断原因是朋友们的呼吁(appealing to)。故选A。
12.D　此处指在上传(uploading)第一批作品照片后,很快就卖光了这些作品。故选D。
13.A　根据前文“After...out of them.”可知,作者出售自己的树脂作品,可知此处的金额指的是销售额(sales)。故选A。

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
　　When you think of a school cafeteria,what comes to mind Plate sounds,lunch lines,and the occasional food fight,right For years,my school’s cafeteria was just a space with shining lighting,plastic tables,and dull yellowish-brown walls.But last semester,something magical happened.A student-led art project made the cafeteria a creative centre,which stimulated conversations,developed a sense of community,and even made lunchtime feel more special.
It all started with a simple idea during an art club meeting.A student named Maya pointed out that the cafeteria felt like a hospital waiting room and suggested working with the school to improve the space.With approval from the headmaster and a small budget,students across grades 9-12 began brainstorming themes and sketches.
The goal was not only to decorate walls,but to create a space that reflected diversity,celebrated talent,and sparked curiosity.After weeks of planning,teams of students worked in shifts after school,transforming blank walls into murals (壁画),replacing old furniture with painted designs,and hanging student-made sculptures from the ceiling.Today,stepping into the cafeteria feels like entering an interactive art exhibit.
The artwork not only brightened the space but also shifted the cafeteria’s role in our school culture.Teachers noticed students staying after lunch to discuss the murals.Shy freshmen bonded through painting sessions.Even the lunch staff got involved,suggesting themes like “gratitude for food”.The transformation also had ripple effects (连锁反应),like reducing littering.
Ms Rivera,the art teacher who advised the project,shared,“This wasn’t about perfection.It was about giving students ownership of their environment.It builds confidence and pride when students see their work valued in a shared space.” “Art in the cafeteria isn’t just about making things look nice.It reminds us that our school is not just a building.It’s our space,and we have the power to change it,” she added.
(　　)1.How does the author introduce the topic in Paragraph 1
A.By providing advice.
B.By giving examples.
C.By presenting changes.
D.By listing daily routines.
(　　)2.How can we describe students in the author’s school
A.Adaptable and diligent.
B.Kind-hearted and intelligent.
C.Imaginative and cooperative.
D.Ambitious and self-disciplined.
(　　)3.What does Paragraph 4 centre on
A.The impact of the project.
B.The teacher-student relationship.
C.Different roles of the school culture.
D.Ripple effects of the transformation.
(　　)4.What did Ms Rivera emphasise about this project
A.The artistic skills involved in it.
B.The challenges she faced during it.
C.Its future expansion and improvements.
D.Its deeper purpose beyond visual effects.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章介绍了一所学校在学生主导下对学校食堂进行了艺术化的
改造。
答案及剖析:
1.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...a space with shining lighting,plastic tables,and dull yellowish-brown walls”可知,第一段先描述了学校食堂过去的样子,再与上学期发生的变化做对比,是通过“过去与现在”的变化引入主题。故选C。
2.C　推理判断题。学生们提出改造食堂的创意(Maya的建议、brainstorming themes and sketches),体现Imaginative;不同年级(9—12年级)的学生组成团队、轮班工作(worked in shifts),甚至食堂工作人员也参与其中,体现Cooperative。由此可推知,学生们是富有想象力和合作精神的。故选C。
3.A　段落大意题。根据第四段第一句可知,“艺术品不仅点亮了空间,还改变了食堂在校园文化中的角色”,随后具体列举了“学生餐后讨论壁画”“内向新生通过绘画建立联系”“食堂工作人员参与”“减少乱扔垃圾”等现象,均围绕“项目带来的影响”展开。故选A。
4.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段Ms Rivera所说的话可知,项目“无关完美”,而是让学生“拥有环境的归属感”、建立自信与自豪感,且强调艺术不仅是“让事物变好看”,更是让学生意识到“学校是我们的空间,我们有能力改变它”。这体现了项目“超越视觉效果的深层意义”。故选D。UNIT 1　课时作业(二)

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
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 an 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.
(　　)1.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.
(　　)2.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.
(　　)3.What does the underlined word “amplify” mean in the third paragraph
A.Refuse. B.Detect.
C.Increase. D.Imply.
(　　)4.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:
1.A　段落大意题。作者在文章第一段主要提到了两种关于科学研究的不正确的看法,故第一段主要是关于科学研究的各种观点。故选A。
2.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,艺术的创造性思维和联想思维对科学家非常重要,科学家应具备创造性思维和联想思维。故选A。
3.C　猜测词义题。根据画线词上文可知,上文讲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。
4.D　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句和最后一句可知,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。
Ⅳ.语法填空(共10题;每题1.5分,共15分)
Chinese calligraphy,with a history of over 3,000 years,is one of the most important forms of traditional Chinese art.It is not just about writing characters; it is a way to express thoughts, feelings,and personality through brush strokes.Its core value is 1.　　　　 (connect) the past and the present,carrying the spiritual heritage of the nation.
In ancient China,calligraphy 2.　　　　 (consider) an essential skill for educated people.Scholars and artists would practise for years to master the techniques of holding the brush and controlling the ink.Even today,many Chinese people,3.　　　　 (especial) the elderly,still enjoy practising calligraphy as a hobby.
There are several main styles of Chinese calligraphy.Each style has its own rules and 4.　　　　 (characteristic).For example,seal script,5.　　　　 is one of the oldest styles,looks elegant and is often used in seals.Cursive script,on the other hand,is much 6.　　　　(free) and more expressive, with strokes flowing quickly.
To practise calligraphy,you need special tools: a brush,ink,paper,and an ink stone,which are known 7.　　　　 the “Four Treasures of the Study”.The brush is usually made of animal hair,and the ink is made from pine soot.The paper,8.　　　　 (call) xuan paper,is soft and absorbs ink well.
Chinese calligraphy is not only 9.　　　　 art form but also a way to pass on traditional culture.It 10.　　　　 (influence) other forms of art,such as painting and poetry,for centuries.Today,it is still highly respected and practised,both in China and around the world.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国书法艺术,包括其悠久历史、重要地位、多样风格、所需工具以及对其他艺术形式的深远影响。
答案及剖析:
1.to connect　考查动词不定式。句子主语为Its core value,系动词is后需用动词不定式结构明确主语的具体内容。故填to connect。
2.was considered　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In ancient China可知,描述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时;calligraphy与consider之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语calligraphy是第三人称单数。故填was considered。
3.especially　考查副词。设空处在句中作状语,修饰整个句子,强调程度,所以用副词especially,意为“尤其”。故填especially。
4.characteristics　考查名词复数。根据and连接并列成分,rules为复数形式可知,此处也应用名词复数,与rules并列。故填characteristics。
5.which　考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为seal script,指物,引导词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
6.freer　考查形容词比较级。分析可知,此处and连接两个并列的形容词比较级,故此处也应用比较级形式,free的比较级为freer,意为“更自由的”。故填freer。
7.as　考查介词。be known as是固定短语,意为“被称为,被认为是”。故填as。
8.called　考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词is,此处应用非谓语动词,paper与call之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词called作后置定语,修饰paper。故填called。
9.an　考查冠词。art form为可数名词单数,设空处前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示 “一种艺术形式”,为泛指意义,且art以元音音素开头。故填an。
10.has influenced　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语for centuries可知,此处强调从过去持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has+过去分词”,主语It是第三人称单数。故填has influenced。UNIT 1　课时作业(一)

　　When you think of a school cafeteria,what comes to mind Plate sounds,lunch lines,and the occasional food fight,right For years,my school’s cafeteria was just a space with shining lighting,plastic tables,and dull yellowish-brown walls.But last semester,something magical happened.A student-led art project made the cafeteria a creative centre,which stimulated conversations,developed a sense of community,and even made lunchtime feel more special.
It all started with a simple idea during an art club meeting.A student named Maya pointed out that the cafeteria felt like a hospital waiting room and suggested working with the school to improve the space.With approval from the headmaster and a small budget,students across grades 9-12 began brainstorming themes and sketches.
The goal was not only to decorate walls,but to create a space that reflected diversity,celebrated talent,and sparked curiosity.After weeks of planning,teams of students worked in shifts after school,transforming blank walls into murals (壁画),replacing old furniture with painted designs,and hanging student-made sculptures from the ceiling.Today,stepping into the cafeteria feels like entering an interactive art exhibit.
The artwork not only brightened the space but also shifted the cafeteria’s role in our school culture.Teachers noticed students staying after lunch to discuss the murals.Shy freshmen bonded through painting sessions.Even the lunch staff got involved,suggesting themes like “gratitude for food”.The transformation also had ripple effects (连锁反应),like reducing littering.
Ms Rivera,the art teacher who advised the project,shared,“This wasn’t about perfection.It was about giving students ownership of their environment.It builds confidence and pride when students see their work valued in a shared space.” “Art in the cafeteria isn’t just about making things look nice.It reminds us that our school is not just a building.It’s our space,and we have the power to change it,” she added.

Ⅱ.七选五(共5题;每题2.5分,共12.5分)
　　One of the best ways to immerse yourself in art as an art lover is to begin by browsing an art gallery.However,whether it is a lack of information on the walls,the overwhelming size of the collections,or the fear that you somehow aren’t “getting” what you are looking at,an art gallery can be potentially less friendly.1.　　
Selecting an Art Gallery Show
Selecting an exhibition could be as simple as looking around your own neighbourhood or getting to know the art districts you are planning to visit.2.　　　 Once you find some galleries to visit,check out their websites for different shows and exhibitions.Then,choose a show or two that interests you or that matches what you’re looking for in terms of a collection.
Do Some Pre-visit Research
3.　　　 It is always a good idea to read the exhibition description carefully to understand the scope (范围) and scale of the show.You can also do some research about the show itself to give yourself more context.
Take a Quick First Look
Upon arriving at the gallery,it’s helpful to have a viewing strategy.Instinctively (本能地),many people move through an exhibition,reading everything in the order presented.However,walking the entire gallery space quickly will give you an overall sense of the exhibition or show.4.　　
Have a More Focused Walk Through
Do a second “once around”,this time closing in more on the artworks that spark your interest most.This step is perhaps the most satisfying part of any gallery visit.It is a chance to really take in what first appeals to you.5.　　　 You can look and appreciate the colours and form,or read the descriptions and delve into the context of the artwork.What matters is that you find it interesting,and are eager to learn more about it.
A.You can find galleries on the search engine,too.
B.How you do this is entirely up to you.
C.Its point is to excite your interest in what is being presented.
D.Thorough research enables you to better understand artists and works.
E.Checking their websites regularly keeps you informed about their collections.
F.Another recommendation would be to sign up for the gallery’s email newsletter.
G.Therefore,learning how to explore an art gallery is a valuable skill for newcomers.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
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 an 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.
(　　)1.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.
(　　)2.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.
(　　)3.What does the underlined word “amplify” mean in the third paragraph
A.Refuse. B.Detect.
C.Increase. D.Imply.
(　　)4.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.
Ⅳ.语法填空(共10题;每题1.5分,共15分)
Chinese calligraphy,with a history of over 3,000 years,is one of the most important forms of traditional Chinese art.It is not just about writing characters; it is a way to express thoughts, feelings,and personality through brush strokes.Its core value is 1.　　　　 (connect) the past and the present,carrying the spiritual heritage of the nation.
In ancient China,calligraphy 2.　　　　 (consider) an essential skill for educated people.Scholars and artists would practise for years to master the techniques of holding the brush and controlling the ink.Even today,many Chinese people,3.　　　　 (especial) the elderly,still enjoy practising calligraphy as a hobby.
There are several main styles of Chinese calligraphy.Each style has its own rules and 4.　　　　 (characteristic).For example,seal script,5.　　　　 is one of the oldest styles,looks elegant and is often used in seals.Cursive script,on the other hand,is much 6.　　　　(free) and more expressive, with strokes flowing quickly.
To practise calligraphy,you need special tools: a brush,ink,paper,and an ink stone,which are known 7.　　　　 the “Four Treasures of the Study”.The brush is usually made of animal hair,and the ink is made from pine soot.The paper,8.　　　　 (call) xuan paper,is soft and absorbs ink well.
Chinese calligraphy is not only 9.　　　　 art form but also a way to pass on traditional culture.It 10.　　　　 (influence) other forms of art,such as painting and poetry,for centuries.Today,it is still highly respected and practised,both in China and around the world. UNIT 1　课时作业(三)

　　While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Centre for the Performing Arts,many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the centre stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful.Wang Shu,a Chinese architect,won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize,which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA).His office is located at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves (曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills,forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roofs and corridors.This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,said Tadao Ando,the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums.“That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.
“Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.
“The study of traditions should be combined with practice.Otherwise,the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty,” he said.
(　　)1.What does Wang’s winning of the prize mean
A.Chinese architects are following the latest world trend.
B.Chinese architects are getting international recognition.
C.Chinese architects are working harder than ever before.
D.Chinese architects are relying on foreign architects.
(　　)2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most
A.Its hilly environment.
B.Its large size.
C.Its unique style.
D.Its diverse functions.
(　　)3.What made Wang’s architectural design a success
A.The mixture of different shapes.
B.The balance of East and West.
C.The use of popular techniques.
D.The harmony of old and new.
(　　)4.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang
A.Spread them to the world.
B.Preserve them at museums.
C.Teach them in universities.
D.Recreate them in practice.

4.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,传统的研究要与实践相结合,在实践中进行再创造,否则就会显得虚假和空洞。故选D。UNIT 1　课时作业(三)
