In my first year of art teaching,I followed the teaching plan strictly and began with still lifes.
Gradually,my students had a good grasp of techniques—shading,perspective and composition.Yet
their works of fruits and vases,though accurate,felt empty.
It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and
creativity,something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments.
Determined to turn the tables. I designed a new unit titled"Art with a Voice". I began by asking
students to select an emotion card—loneliness,joy,longing—and sketch(素描)freely around it.
Hesitation filled the room, pencils held still. I didn't rush them. Instead, I shared stories of artists
who channeled inner worlds into visual form and showed examples where personal memory met
craft. Then, I introduced the core assignment:“Create a piece about a memory that shaped you.
The emotion must be real." In the next week,we were buried in developing sketches,
experimenting with materials,and talking about what makes a feeling visible.
On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of
"childhood" presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years,
using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear.Another student focused on a
scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric
and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly,yet deeply,of
connection and belonging.
Standing before their work, I felt my own teaching shift beneath me.Art is not expressed
through polished techniques and imitation;but through the rich expression of emotion. My role,I
now see,is to ignite the spark that guides their hand from heart to paper.
24.What does the underlined phrase "turn the tables" in paragraph 2 mean
A.To follow the plan C.To switch the roles
B.To rearrange the desks. D.To change the situation
25.Why are the two students mentioned in paragraph 4

Many of us have got into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online
content at increased playback speeds—a norm even for younger people. One survey of students in
California found 89 djusted online lecture speeds,with widespread media coverage of this
common practice.
Faster playback offers clear advantages.It enables you to consume more content in the same
amount of time or replaying the same content for better absorption.This could be particularly
useful in an educational context, where it might free up time for knowledge application practice.
Watching quickly is also potentially a good way to help sustain your attention and engagement for
the entire duration to avoid the mind wandering.
There are, however, disadvantages. While people can process speech at 150-450 words per
minute,the real concern lies in the quality and longevity of the memories formed. New information
is first held in working memory, which has a limited capacity. If information arrives too quickly,
this system can be overwhelmed,causing mental overload and information loss.
A recent comprehensive analysis of 24 studies on learning from video lectures, led by
Theepan Tharumalingam from University of Waterloo,lends strong support to this claim. In these
studies, participants were randomly assigned to watch lectures at normal speed or at increased
speeds(1.25x to 2.5x), then tested on the content. The analysis revealed that increasing playback
speed had increasingly negative effects on test performance. At speeds of up to 1.5x,the cost was
very small. But at 2x and above, the negative effect was moderate to large.
However, we don't yet know whether regular fast playback reduces its negative effects—such
as coping with higher cognitive load and reducing memory loss. Neither is there any scientific
evidence for potential long-term effects of fast playback on mental function and brain activity,
which could be positive or negative in theory.
Even if 1.5x playback does not harm memory, there is evidence to suggest the experience is
less enjoyable, possibly affecting people's learning motivation and leading to avoidance. On the
other hand, faster playback has become popular,so maybe once people get used to it,it's
fine—hopefully we'll understand these processes better in the years to come.
28.How do students benefit from faster playback
A.By fitting in with their classmates. C.By saving more time for hands-on practice.
B.By ensuring better memory of lectures. D.By focusing on the more engaging content.
29.What potential risk may faster playback cause
A.Permanent damage to brain function C.Failure to pass learning assessment tests.
B.Limited capacity of working memory D.Reduced quality of information absorbed.
30.How did the author prove the disadvantages of faster playback
A.By providing video lectures. C.By conducting an experiment.
B.By citing a research review. D.By interviewing the students.
31. What is the author's attitude towards faster playback
A.Approving. C.Intolerant.
B.Pessimistic. D.Cautious

What if the solution to the climate crisis lay not underground, but in the air around us Inspired
by natural photosynthesis(光合作用), researchers from Cambridge University have developed a
solar-powered direct air capture(DAC) reactor, offering a promising alternative to traditional
carbon capture technologies.
Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) has been claimed as a possible solution to the climate crisis,
and has recently received 22 billion in funding from the UK government. However, CCS is
energy- intensive and raises long-term safety concerns over underground-pressurized CO2 storage,
and even provides an excuse for continued fossil fuel use. As a non- circular process, CCS stores
CO indefinitely without any practical value,according to Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the
research on the new DAC reactor.
Unlike most carbon capture technologies, the DAC reactor does not require fossil-fuel-based
power. It takes CO directly from the air and transforms it into syngas: a kind of key material in
the production of many chemicals and medicines. The researchers say their approach, which does
not require any transportation or storage, is much easier to scale up than earlier solar- powered
devices to achieve widespread commercial production.
The DAC reactor,a solar-powered flow device,uses specialised equipment to grab CO from
the air at night, like how a sponge takes in water. When the sun comes out, the sunlight heats up
the captured CO absorbing infrared radiation(红外线),and a semiconductor powder absorbs the
ultraviolet radiation(紫外线)to start a chemical reaction that turns the captured CO into solar
syngas.A mirror on the reactor concentrates the sunlight, making the transforming process more
efficient.
Currently, the research group is working on transforming the solar syngas into liquid fuel, a
development that, if successful, could provide a sustainable alternative to supply energy for cars,
planes, and more. The team is also hopeful that their solar reactor could also generate fuel in
remote locations. Instead of continuing to dig up and burn fossil fuels to produce the products we
have come to rely on, we can get all the CO we need directly from the air and reuse it," said
Reisner.
32. Why is CCS technology mentioned in the text
A.To introduce CCS's application. B.To criticize the financial support.
C.To highlight DAC's advantages. D.To explain CCS's working principle.
33. Which of the following is DAC's feature
A. Requiring fossil-fuel power. C. Enabling convenient expansion.
B.Producing chemicals at night. D.Using mirrors to help capture CO ·
34. What would the DAC technology be applied to
A.Generating solid fuel. C. Producing solar power.
B. Supplying energy for vehicles. D.Developing radiation treatment.
35 Which is the best title for the text
A.Better Way to Capture Carbon C.Turning Air into Fuel with Sunshine
B. Storing Carbon as an Alternative D.The Magic of Solar-Powered Reactions

Fire is a devastating force that can reduce years of memories to ashes in minutes. For high
school students,understanding fire safety is not just a school requirement—but a critical life skill.
36 _The key lies not in panic, but in prevention, preparation and a clear plan.
37____Most fires can be avoided by maintaining fire- safety consciousness in daily life.
Watch out for common dangers like overloaded power strips(排油),unattended cooking, and
careless use of candles. 38___These simple devices cut the risk of dying in a home fire in
half. Knowing how to use a fire extinguisher can stop a small fire from becoming a catastrophe.
However, when prevention fails, a well- rehearsed escape plan becomes your lifeline.Identify
two ways out of every room,usually a door and a window.39Agree on a specific outdoor
meeting place,such as a tree or a lamppost, so that you can quickly account for everyone.
During a fire,seconds count. If the alarm sounds, get out and stay out. Before opening a door,
feel it with the back of your hand. If it's warm, use your second way out. Crawl low under smoke
where the air is cleaner and cooler. Breathing in poisonous smoke,not flames, is the leading cause
of fire-related deaths. Once outside, call emergency services immediately.40___
If you adopt these practices, you will be empowered to convert knowledge into a reliable
defense.
A.Never go back inside for any possession.
B.Prevention is always the first line of defense.
C.However,all elevators in high-rise buildings shouldn't be operated.
D.This awareness allows you to protect not only yourself but also others.
E.Therefore, it is crucial to conduct regular fire drills in your community.
F.Make sure all secondary exits can be operated instantly from the inside.
G.Always ensure smoke alarms are installed and functional on every floor.

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。
Todd leaned against the window looking out at the noisy street in the afternoon sun. Some
kids ran back and forth shouting loudly,while others rode scooters(滑板车)fast down the
sidewalk, nearly bumping into passersby—several even cut through neighbours'front yards,
destroying flowers in the neat gardens.
He sighed softly and turned back inside,his eyes falling on the cover of a dog-eared book—
a gift from Grandma. A wave of warmth swept over him. He'd once been too restless to sit down.
It was Grandma that had turned his dislike of reading into passion.Those boring afternoons were
turned into adventures because Grandma always had a way to make reading feel like treasure
hunts.With newfound passion, he stepped into a wonderful through those pages. Suddenly,he was
dragged back to reality from his sweet memories by the yelling from a neighbour,"Ruined my
garden again Can't you kids read some books ”
An idea popped into Todd's mind. Why not build a small book box right in his front yard
Wasn't this a perfect way to change the messy community around him Without hesitation,he
crafted the box from old wooden pieces, craved a tiny inside and put in his favourite children's
books,including the gift from Grandma. For the sign on the box,he painted“Reading Corner for
Kids". He placed the box right under the big oak tree where the kids dashed past every single day.
Yet the box sat lonely for days. Kids still rushed past,never sparing a glance. The
neighborhood didn't shift one bit. Feeling defeated, Todd walked out to the box and picked up a
book. As he opened it, a small, faded sticker slipped out from the pages,landing on the grass. It
was the shiny star he had been hunting for—one of the“secret treasures”Grandma used to hide
for him to find.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
P1:Recalling Grandma's tricks, Todd knew what he could do.
P2:With more kids drawn to the magic of stories,the community changed.
