第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The hardest thing about planning a big European vacation is actually narrowing down where to go—there are just so many amazing places. That's why we've put together what we think are the best cities in Europe.
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
Amsterdam is the kind of city that you can't help but fall in love with. It's the kind of place where you dream about moving and buying an apartment that overlooks (俯瞰) a peaceful river. It's relaxing and you get a sense that the locals have an amazing quality of free life. We love simply walking around the canals and exploring the city's neighborhoods.
BERLIN, GERMANY
Berlin is said to be “poor but charming” and we think that's a pretty good description. Actually, Berlin is becoming more expensive as its popularity grows, but it's still the top spot for Germany's artistic scene. Berlin isn't particularly pretty but it's an energetic city with cool people and cooler graffiti-covered (涂鸦) neighborhoods.
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Lisbon is a hot destination and I doubt it will be quickly moving up in the ranks of Europe's most visited cities. Lisbon is a popular coastal city that's famous for its unique buildings and charming café culture. It's also very friendly on the wallet when compared to other Western European cities—food and lodging are both priced reasonably and attractions are about average.
FLORENCE, ITALY
Florence may be touristy but that’s no reason to ignore this birthplace of the Renaissance (文艺复兴). If you do your research, you can find plenty of excellent Italian restaurants and world-class ice cream. And, of course, the city is beautiful and home to top museums so it's a dream for art and history lovers.
21. Which city best suits people holidaying on the cheap
A. BERLIN, GERMANY. B. FLORENCE, ITALY.
C. LISBON, PORTUGAL. D. AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS.
22. What do BERLIN and FLORENCE have in common
A. They are famous for food. B. They are attractive to artists.
C. They are cities of scenic beauty. D. They are of political importance.
23. Where is the text probably from
A. A news report. B. A travel magazine.
C. A restaurant advertisement. D. A science column.
B
Dear Cutie-Pie,
Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Halfway through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was “How to keep him interested.”
It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.
And I got angry.
Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”
Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul — in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss - that you are worthy of interest.
If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.
Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.
I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me — as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet — as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don’t care if he is strong — as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I couldn’t care less how he votes — as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart. I don't care about the color of his skin. I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion
Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.
Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to be you.
Your eternally interested guy,
Daddy
24. What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet
A. Girls’ knowing nothing about trusting themselves.
B. Girls’ giving priority to finding ways to please boys.
C. Girls’ bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time.
D. Girls’ being upset by being rejected constantly.
25. Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is to _______.
A. keep the boy interested. B. know she deserves a boy’ interest.
C. attract a boy willing to invest all in her. D. find a boy who can please her.
26. According to the passage, what does the underlined word “revel” mean
A feel depressed. B. become puzzled. C. look around. D. enjoy himself.
27. What’s the main purpose of this letter
A. To advise his daughter to trust her worth.
B. To inform his daughter how to keep others interested.
C. To show his daughter how to find her true love.
D. To help his daughter find someone with common interests.
C
Even small amounts of physical activity, like quick walking, may greatly lower the risk of depression, according to a new data analysis (分析).
Recommended levels of exercise in the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), include aerobic (有氧的) activity at proper levels for 2.5 hours a week, along with a workout of all major muscle (肌肉) groups twice a week. Or, a person can choose a high-level aerobic exercise, such as running, for 1.25 hours each week, along with the same amount of strength training.
Middle-to-high-level exercise is good for us, according to the CDC. It improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, protects against heart disease and diabetes, reduces stress, improves mood, and fights anxiety and depression. But in today’s busy world, many people find it difficult to fit in a jog or a visit to the gym. Add depression to the mix, and the motivation for exercise drops even further, experts say.
The analysis, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, looked at 15 studies involving over 190,000 people to determine how much exercise was needed to reduce depression.
Adults who did activities equal to 1.25 hours of quick walking per week had an 18% lower risk of depression compared with those who did not exercise, the study said. Moving up to an “activity amount equal to 2.5 hours of quick walking per week was associated with 25% lower risk of depression,” the study authors said.
The benefits were strongest when a person changed from being a couch potato to adding movement to the day, the study said. However, exercising over the recommended levels did not provide any additional benefits.
“Our findings therefore have important new implications for health doctors making lifestyle recommendations, especially to inactive individuals who may perceive the current recommended target of exercise as unrealistic,” the authors wrote.
A study in 2018 found similar results: People who exercised had about 43% fewer days of poor mental health. “Even just walking three times a week seems to give people better mental health than not exercising at all,” said study author Adam Chekroud, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale University.
28. Why does the writer use the figures in Paragraph 2
A. To provide different ways of exercise. B. To illustrate the benefits of doing exercise.
C. To recommend the proper levels of exercise. D. To identify which exercise is better for health.
29. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3
A. Running may possibly add to depression.
B. Depressed people are less willing to exercise.
C. People tend to exercise more when depressed.
D. Working out regularly helps increase motivation.
30. What does the analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry suggest:
A. Over 190, 000 people suffer from poor mental health.
B. 2.5 hours of quick walking per week is a must for adults.
C. A couch potato benefits much when taking proper exercise.
D. The recommended levels by CDC go for people of all ages.
31. Which of the following agrees with Adam Chekroud’s idea about exercise
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
C. Half a loaf is better than no bread. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D
The question of whether it is possible to dissociate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time. Even though positive critical reviews about an artist’s behavior can improve their artistic accomplishments, people should treat artists as individuals who have lived apart from their work.
One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings. Like any other human being, an artist can err, and we cannot be severely judgmental of every person that falls into error. Cancel culture with endless criticism is concerned more with how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weaknesses can be used by the artists to create art that is unique.
Perhaps Kevin Hart’s words support this thought. He asks, “When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time ” When people start seeing artists as human beings, they’ll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity.
It should be also noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist’s experience. For example, the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J. K. Rowling’s wicked worldview that it is virtually impossible to distinguish the two from each other. Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become tense and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of edians, singers or painters who should be integrating contemporary issues with their works become boring, and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be.
An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic (内在的) value, benefiting entire communities or cultures. For instance, when Kendrick Lamar launched his album and frequently used the F-slur in one of his songs, there was much-heated discussion. He was entirely mistaken in using the F-slur, but as an artist, he still had a wide-reaching impact on society. Similarly, one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he impacted pop music and the inclusion of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses, opinions, worldviews and associations.
While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future. Some would refer to this process as a cycle. Good art should, therefore, be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist.
32 Which would Kevin Hart probably agree with
A. People should perform perfectly all the time.
B. Artists’ shortcomings might be their inspiration.
C. If artists have weaknesses, we’d better cancel them.
D. Artists should be evaluated based on their humanity.
33. Why will “cancel culture” lead to the death of art
A. Artists will be unwilling to create any artwork.
B. Artists will stop concerning with contemporary issues.
C. Artists will lose their desire for expression and creativity.
D. Artworks are unavoidably inspired by artists’ experiences.
34. How can an artist with mistakes benefit others
A. The artist may make some new words popular.
B. The artist’s opinions may provoke heated discussion.
C. The artist will benefit entire communities or cultures.
D. The artist’s art may give others ideas of artistic creation.
35. Which would be the best title of the passage
A. Judge Art Due to Its Value
B. Separate the Art From the Artist
C. Regard Artists as Human Beings
D. Stop Criticizing Artists’ Behavior

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.
Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.长安一中2023--2024学年度第一学期期中考试

W: Did Amy Guglielmo draw the pictures in the book, too
M: No. The pictures were drawn by Brett Helquist.
W: Is it interesting
M: Of course. I think everyone who has a dream should read it. Before I read it, I even thought about giving up my dream of becoming an artist. But now I know I should keep doing art.

第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The hardest thing about planning a big European vacation is actually narrowing down where to go—there are just so many amazing places. That's why we've put together what we think are the best cities in Europe.
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
Amsterdam is the kind of city that you can't help but fall in love with. It's the kind of place where you dream about moving and buying an apartment that overlooks (俯瞰) a peaceful river. It's relaxing and you get a sense that the locals have an amazing quality of free life. We love simply walking around the canals and exploring the city's neighborhoods.
BERLIN, GERMANY
Berlin is said to be “poor but charming” and we think that's a pretty good description. Actually, Berlin is becoming more expensive as its popularity grows, but it's still the top spot for Germany's artistic scene. Berlin isn't particularly pretty but it's an energetic city with cool people and cooler graffiti-covered (涂鸦) neighborhoods.
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Lisbon is a hot destination and I doubt it will be quickly moving up in the ranks of Europe's most visited cities. Lisbon is a popular coastal city that's famous for its unique buildings and charming café culture. It's also very friendly on the wallet when compared to other Western European cities—food and lodging are both priced reasonably and attractions are about average.
FLORENCE, ITALY
Florence may be touristy but that’s no reason to ignore this birthplace of the Renaissance (文艺复兴). If you do your research, you can find plenty of excellent Italian restaurants and world-class ice cream. And, of course, the city is beautiful and home to top museums so it's a dream for art and history lovers.
21. Which city best suits people holidaying on the cheap
A. BERLIN, GERMANY. B. FLORENCE, ITALY.
C. LISBON, PORTUGAL. D. AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS.
22. What do BERLIN and FLORENCE have in common
A. They are famous for food. B. They are attractive to artists.
C. They are cities of scenic beauty. D. They are of political importance.
23. Where is the text probably from
A. A news report. B. A travel magazine.
C. A restaurant advertisement. D. A science column.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了四个欧洲的最好的旅游城市的不同特点。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据LISBON, PORTUGAL部分的最后一句“It's also very friendly on the wallet when compared to other Western European cities—food and lodging are both priced reasonably and attractions are about average.( 与其他西欧城市相比，它也非常划算——食物和住宿的价格都很合理，景点也都在平均水平左右。)”可知，葡萄牙的里斯本是最划算的城市。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Actually, Berlin is becoming more expensive as its popularity grows, but it's still the top spot for Germany's artistic scene.（事实上，随着柏林越来越受欢迎，它的价格越来越贵，但它仍然是德国艺术景观的首选。）”和第五段最后一句“And, of course, the city is beautiful and home to top museums so it's a dream for art and history lovers.（当然，这座城市很漂亮，有很多顶级博物馆，所以它是艺术和历史爱好者的梦想。）”可知，柏林和佛罗伦萨都有着浓厚的艺术气息，对艺术家很有吸引力。因此可知，柏林和佛罗伦萨的共同之处是都对艺术家有吸引力。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The hardest thing about planning a big European vacation is actually narrowing down where to go—there are just so many amazing places. That's why we've put together what we think are the best cities in Europe. （计划一次欧洲大度假最难的事情其实是缩小要去的地方——那里有太多令人惊叹的地方了。这就是为什么我们把我们认为的欧洲最好的城市汇集在一起。）”以及后面每一段对于欧洲几个城市的介绍可知，这篇文章主要介绍了几个欧洲的最好的旅游城市。因此推断文章来自于旅游杂志。故选B项。
B
Dear Cutie-Pie,
Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Halfway through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was “How to keep him interested.”
It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.
And I got angry.
Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”
Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul — in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss - that you are worthy of interest.
If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.
Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.
I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me — as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet — as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don’t care if he is strong — as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I couldn’t care less how he votes — as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart. I don't care about the color of his skin. I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion
Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.
Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to be you.
Your eternally interested guy,
Daddy
24. What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet
A. Girls’ knowing nothing about trusting themselves.
B. Girls’ giving priority to finding ways to please boys.
C. Girls’ bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time.

25. Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is to _______.
A. keep the boy interested. B. know she deserves a boy’ interest.

A. To advise his daughter to trust her worth.
B. To inform his daughter how to keep others interested.
C. To show his daughter how to find her true love.

【答案】24 B 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章是一位父亲写给女儿的一封信，信的主要内容是建议女儿要做自己，不要刻意的去追求如何让男孩对自己感兴趣。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“At the top of the list was ‘How to keep him interested.’”(排在第一位的是“如何让他对你感兴趣”。)及第二段第一句“It surprised me a lot.”(这让我很惊讶。)可知，女孩在网上搜索如何取悦男孩使父亲在上网时感到很震惊。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul —— in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss —— that you are worthy of interest.”(小家伙，你唯一的任务就是在你的灵魂深处——那个不被拒绝、失去而沮丧的不可动摇的和地方——知道你是值得被关注的。)可知，父亲认为对女儿最重要的是要知道她是值得一个男孩的关注。故选B项。
【26题详解】
猜测词义题。根据文章第八段第一句“I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me — as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.”(我不介意他不能和我打高尔夫——只要他能和你们的孩子一起玩得开心，并且一所有荣耀和沮丧的方式revel于他们，就像你一样。)尤其是划线词前面的并列成分（as long as he can play with the children you give him和自己孩子们一块玩耍）可知，revel应该是玩得高兴，陶醉的意思。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul —— in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss —— that you are worthy of interest.”(小家伙，你唯一的任务就是在你的灵魂深处——那个不被拒绝、失去而沮丧的不可动摇的和地方——知道你是值得被关注的。)和最后一段“Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to be you.”(因为到最后，小家伙，你唯一应该做的“让他对你感兴趣”的事就是做你自己。)可知，父亲写这封信的主要目的就是建议他的女儿相信自己的价值。故选A项。
C
Even small amounts of physical activity, like quick walking, may greatly lower the risk of depression, according to a new data analysis (分析).
Recommended levels of exercise in the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), include aerobic (有氧的) activity at proper levels for 2.5 hours a week, along with a workout of all major muscle (肌肉) groups twice a week. Or, a person can choose a high-level aerobic exercise, such as running, for 1.25 hours each week, along with the same amount of strength training.
Middle-to-high-level exercise is good for us, according to the CDC. It improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, protects against heart disease and diabetes, reduces stress, improves mood, and fights anxiety and depression. But in today’s busy world, many people find it difficult to fit in a jog or a visit to the gym. Add depression to the mix, and the motivation for exercise drops even further, experts say.
The analysis, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, looked at 15 studies involving over 190,000 people to determine how much exercise was needed to reduce depression.
Adults who did activities equal to 1.25 hours of quick walking per week had an 18% lower risk of depression compared with those who did not exercise, the study said. Moving up to an “activity amount equal to 2.5 hours of quick walking per week was associated with 25% lower risk of depression,” the study authors said.
The benefits were strongest when a person changed from being a couch potato to adding movement to the day, the study said. However, exercising over the recommended levels did not provide any additional benefits.
“Our findings therefore have important new implications for health doctors making lifestyle recommendations, especially to inactive individuals who may perceive the current recommended target of exercise as unrealistic,” the authors wrote.
A study in 2018 found similar results: People who exercised had about 43% fewer days of poor mental health. “Even just walking three times a week seems to give people better mental health than not exercising at all,” said study author Adam Chekroud, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale University.
28. Why does the writer use the figures in Paragraph 2
A. To provide different ways of exercise. B. To illustrate the benefits of doing exercise.
C. To recommend the proper levels of exercise. D. To identify which exercise is better for health.
29. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3
A. Running may possibly add to depression.
B. Depressed people are less willing to exercise.
C. People tend to exercise more when depressed.
D. Working out regularly helps increase motivation.
30. What does the analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry suggest:
A. Over 190, 000 people suffer from poor mental health.
B. 2.5 hours of quick walking per week is a must for adults.
C. A couch potato benefits much when taking proper exercise.
D. The recommended levels by CDC go for people of all ages.
31. Which of the following agrees with Adam Chekroud’s idea about exercise
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
C. Half a loaf is better than no bread. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了各项研究表明适当锻炼对人的身体和心理健康有好处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Recommended levels of exercise in the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), include aerobic (有氧的) activity at proper levels for 2. 5 hours a week, along with a workout of all major muscle (肌肉) groups twice a week. Or, a person can choose a high-level aerobic exercise, such as running, for 1. 25 hours each week, along with the same amount of strength training. (根据美国疾病控制和预防中心的数据，美国推荐的运动水平包括每周进行2.5小时的适当有氧运动，同时每周两次锻炼所有主要肌肉群。或者一个人可以选择高水平的有氧运动，例如每周跑步1.25小时，同时进行同样量的力量训练)”可知，引用的数字都是在关键词“include”之后作为具体例子，例子是为了进一步解释前文内容“Recommended levels of exercise in the United States”，所以第二段引用数字是为了建议适当水平的锻炼。故答案为C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段“Middle-to-high-level exercise is good for us, according to the CDC. It improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, protects against heart disease and diabetes, reduces stress, improves mood, and fights anxiety and depression. But in today's busy world, many people find it difficult to fit in a jog or a visit to the gym. (根据疾病预防控制中心的说法，中高水平的运动对我们有好处。它可以改善睡眠，降低血压，预防心脏病和糖尿病，减轻压力，改善情绪，并对抗焦虑和抑郁。但在当今繁忙的世界，许多人发现很难适应慢跑或去健身房锻炼)”可知，作者想要强调的是转折词“but”后的内容，即虽然运动有众多好处，但是人们因为繁忙或压力很难去适应一些运动。由此推知，划线部分的意思是“患有抑郁的人，更不愿意锻炼”，故答案为B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第六段“The benefits were strongest when a person changed from being a couch potato to adding movement to the day, the study said. (研究表明，一个从懒散转变为每天增加运动的人能获取最大利益)”可知，懒散的人可以从锻炼中获益良多，故答案为C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段“Even just walking three times a week seems to give people better mental health than not exercising at all. (即使一周散步三次，似乎也比不锻炼更能改善人们的心理健康)”可知，亚当·切克罗德主张人们要去锻炼，哪怕仅仅是散步都比人们什么也不做强。由此推知，C项“半个面包总比没有面包好”符合亚当·切克罗德对锻炼的观点。故答案为C。
D
The question of whether it is possible to dissociate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time. Even though positive critical reviews about an artist’s behavior can improve their artistic accomplishments, people should treat artists as individuals who have lived apart from their work.
One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings. Like any other human being, an artist can err, and we cannot be severely judgmental of every person that falls into error. Cancel culture with endless criticism is concerned more with how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weaknesses can be used by the artists to create art that is unique.
Perhaps Kevin Hart’s words support this thought. He asks, “When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time ” When people start seeing artists as human beings, they’ll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity.
It should be also noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist’s experience. For example, the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J. K. Rowling’s wicked worldview that it is virtually impossible to distinguish the two from each other. Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become tense and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of edians, singers or painters who should be integrating contemporary issues with their works become boring, and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be.
An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic (内在的) value, benefiting entire communities or cultures. For instance, when Kendrick Lamar launched his album and frequently used the F-slur in one of his songs, there was much-heated discussion. He was entirely mistaken in using the F-slur, but as an artist, he still had a wide-reaching impact on society. Similarly, one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he impacted pop music and the inclusion of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses, opinions, worldviews and associations.
While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future. Some would refer to this process as a cycle. Good art should, therefore, be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist.
32. Which would Kevin Hart probably agree with
A. People should perform perfectly all the time.
B. Artists’ shortcomings might be their inspiration.
C. If artists have weaknesses, we’d better cancel them.
D. Artists should be evaluated based on their humanity.
33. Why will “cancel culture” lead to the death of art
A. Artists will be unwilling to create any artwork.
B. Artists will stop concerning with contemporary issues.
C. Artists will lose their desire for expression and creativity.
D. Artworks are unavoidably inspired by artists’ experiences.
34. How can an artist with mistakes benefit others
A. The artist may make some new words popular.
B. The artist’s opinions may provoke heated discussion.
C. The artist will benefit entire communities or cultures.
D. The artist’s art may give others ideas of artistic creation.
35. Which would be the best title of the passage
A. Judge Art Due to Its Value
B. Separate the Art From the Artist
C. Regard Artists as Human Beings
D. Stop Criticizing Artists’ Behavior
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论证了我们应该把艺术家视为与作品相分离的个体，评判优秀艺术作品的标准应该是作品本身的价值，而不是艺术家的价值这一观点。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings. Like any other human being, an artist can err, and we cannot be severely judgmental of every person that falls into error. Cancel culture with endless criticism is concerned more with how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weaknesses can be used by the artists to create art that is unique.(其中一个原因是，即使是艺术家，他们也是有缺点的。像任何其他人一样，艺术家也会犯错误，我们不能对每一个犯错误的人都严厉地评判。充斥着无尽批评的封杀文化更关心的是，当艺术家犯错时，我们应该如何忽视他们，而不是艺术家如何利用他们的弱点来创造独特的艺术)”和第三段中“Perhaps Kevin Hart’s words support this thought.(也许凯文·哈特的话支持了这种想法)”可知，上文提出艺术家也会犯错误，我们不能对每一个犯错误的人都严厉地评判，而是应当关注艺术家如何利用他们的弱点来创造独特的艺术。Kevin Hart赞同这种想法，所有他也会赞成“艺术家的缺点可能就是他们的灵感”的说法。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become tense and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of art.(因为世界观而封杀艺术家，就意味着对其艺术的认可会受到影响，艺术家会变得紧张，不愿意表达自己，这就会扼杀创造力，最终导致艺术的死亡)”可知，“封杀文化”会导致艺术的死亡是因为它会让艺术家将失去表达和创造的欲望。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future.(虽然这些艺术家可能会从事他们可怕的行为，但他们今天创作的艺术作品可能会成为未来其他人创作杰出作品的榜样)”可知，一个犯了错误的艺术家的艺术可能会给其他人带来艺术创作的灵感，从而给其它人带来益处。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“The question of whether it is possible to dissociate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time. Even though positive critical reviews about an artist’s behavior can improve their artistic accomplishments, people should treat artists as individuals who have lived apart from their work.(是否有可能将艺术家与他们的作品分开的问题已经争论了很长时间。尽管对艺术家行为的正面评论可以提高他们的艺术成就，但人们应该把艺术家视为与作品分离的个体)”和最后一段中“Good art should, therefore, be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist.(因此，评判优秀艺术作品的标准应该是它的价值，而不是艺术家的价值)”可知，文章第一段中提出观点：应该把艺术家视为与作品相分离的个体。文章最后总结：评判优秀艺术作品的标准应该是作品的价值，而不是艺术家的价值，再次强调应该把艺术家与作品分开评价。所以B项“将艺术与艺术家分开”是最佳标题。故选B项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。青少年时期是了解自己，考虑未来的重要阶段。本文就如何拥有一个有趣的，自己喜欢的的青少年时期，提供了一些建议。
【36题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。根据前句可知在学校学习好，有一个健康的生活可以使你更快乐，更可能成功，接下来用instead引出Instead, remember to have fun and live a life you love!转移话题：拥有一个有趣的，自己喜欢的青少年时期。由instead可知题空出应该是作者不提倡做的事情，因此我们可以得出选项B. But you shouldn’t get too crazy with success（但是你不能太过痴迷于成功）符合语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。根据前句It can be anything from poetry to storybooks—just get reading!（你可以读任何东西，从诗歌到故事书---开始读吧）可知作者建议开始读书。接下来一句ask the librarian for suggestions.建议向图书管理员征求建议，因此选项F. If you don’t know where to start（如果你不知道从哪里开始）符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。根据首句Look ahead to life after you graduate from high school.可知本段中作者建议展望一下未来，接下来一句Just start to think about what you might want to do in the future作者建议只是开始考虑未来你想做什么。由此可知作者并不是让读者把自己的未来考虑非常周全。因此选项D. Don’t worry, as you don’t have to choose a career right now（不用担心，你现在不必悬着一个职业）符合语境。故选D。
【39题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。根据首句Take after-class activities you enjoy.可知本段中作者建议读者参与到自己喜欢的课后活动中。接下来应该是介绍参加课后获得的好处。因此选项G. Make them a chance for you to relax and express yourself（使它们成为你放松和表达自我的机会）符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。根据后句To feel a sense of achievement about your school and personal life, set realistic goals for yourself.可知本段中作者建议设定现实的目标。因此选项A. Set realistic academic and personal goals（设定现实的学习和个人目标）符合语境。故选A。
【点睛】七选五题型对学生的考察能力总体从两个方面来考察把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系。和微观信息间关联性。这种题一般可从以下方面来做：
（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。
（2）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如第3小题：根据首句Look ahead to life after you graduate from high school.可知本段中作者建议展望一下未来，接下来一句Just start to think about what you might want to do in the future作者建议只是开始考虑未来你想做什么。由此可知作者并不是让读者把自己的未来考虑非常周全。因此选项D. Don’t worry, as you don’t have to choose a career right now（不用担心，你现在不必悬着一个职业）符合语境。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：由于科技的进步，我们交朋友和与他们交流的方式发生了重大变化。空处修饰动词changed，需用副词形式作状语。故填significantly。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：如今，我们可以环游世界，仍然与我们想成为朋友的人保持联系。stay in touch with sb.为固定搭配，表示“与某人保持联系”。故填with。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：数字时代也使我们能够找到与我们有共同兴趣的人，比如收集模型汽车或演奏一种不同寻常的乐器。enable sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，表示“使某人能够做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to find。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：数字时代也使我们能够找到与我们有共同兴趣的人，比如收集模型汽车或演奏一种不同寻常的乐器。空处与playing并列，应用动名词形式作宾语。故填collecting。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：无论我们的爱好是什么，互联网都可以将我们与同样喜欢做这些事情的人联系起来，即使他们生活在世界的另一端。hobby为可数名词，根据空后的are可知，空处应用名词的复数形式，在whatever引导的从句中作主语。故填hobbies。

【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在社交媒体网站上，人们往往只发布让自己看起来快乐、友好的积极更新，而微笑的照片可以隐藏真正的问题。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词updates，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that/which引导从句。故填that/which。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：但这并不意味着我们应该不分好坏地全盘抛弃。结合语意可知，本句与上文内容形成转折关系，空处应用转折连词but，表示“但是”，置于句首，首字母大写。故填But。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意：尽管近年来科技改变了我们获得朋友的方式，但友谊的意义和我们对朋友的渴望仍然不变。根据时间状语是in recent years可知，句子应用现在完成时，或强调change这一动作可能会一直延续下去，使用现在完成进行时，主语是technology，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填has changed/has been changing。

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, you sing really well!” Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighborhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one.
