What makes a calligrapher(书法家)one of the best of all time The answer can be found in Weidu Fu, written by Zuo Si, an ancient Chinese writer. He wrote: “Accumulate in the way the clouds gather, and release as smoothly as the rain drops.” The description properly summarizes the way Chen Hailiang presents his calligraphy momentum(气势)on paper in a gentle, relaxed manner. It has led to the 55-year-old being considered one of the leading calligraphers of his generation.
Chen has received many accolades, including several Lanting Awards, the highest prize in the field of calligraphy.“Still, I have room to achieve maturity, even at my age,” he said at the opening of his one-man exhibition, Artistry of Original Strokes, running at the National Art Museum of China through Tuesday.
On show are more than 90 pieces of work, displaying Chen’s various works. There are self-composed poems and couplets, as well as copies of some famous, historical calligraphic masterpieces. It offers a glimpse of Chen’s efforts with different styles of calligraphy and his mastery of the cursive script (caoshu).
His accomplishments are grounded in years of hard work. “If someone truly wants to be a professional in the field,” Chen says, “they should at least practice eight hours a day. I sometimes practice much longer than that, and for the rest of the day, I write and read about calligraphy, or articles on the relationship between calligraphy and other forms of Chinese art.”
Liu Heng, a famous scholar of the China Calligraphers Association, says, “ Chen has achieved a technical brilliance, but he is far from being content with copying the styles of those great artists. He has been trying to establish his own style, and he has done it.”
4. Why does the author mention the words from Weidu Fu in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the writer of Weidu Fu.
B. To show Chen’s excellence in calligraphy.
C. To explain the reason for Chen’s success.
D. To compare the works of Chen and Zuo.
5. What does the underlined word “ accolades” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Benefits. B. Reviews. C. Honors . D. Rewards.
6. According to Chen,what is most important to be an expert in the field
A. Keeping reading every day.
B. Getting to know the history of the field.
C. Staying in the north of China for some period of time.
D. Throwing yourself into your field that you are working on.
7. What can we learn about Chen’s works from the text
A. They are of various styles.
B. They make the audience relaxed.
C. They are just copies of some masterpieces.
D They combine with the forms of western art.

Human footprints in White Sands National Park in New Mexico aroused an argument two years ago when scientists found the prints to be surprisingly old.
In 2021, researchers described more than 60 footprints preserved in New Mexico. Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法)of an aquatic(水生的)plant’s seeds in and around the footprints suggested that the first humans in North America came from Siberia via a land bridge between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago, almost 7000 years earlier than the long-held theory.
But some scientists noted that the aquatic plants used to date the footprints could have absorbed ancient carbon in groundwater. “There’s a possibility then for the plant to give overstated viewpoints on its age,” says Davis, who wrote a criticism of the 2021 paper.
Now, two other ways probably solving the argument, researchers report in the Oct. 6 Science. Pigati and colleagues radiocarbon-dated pollen(花粉)stuck in the same layers as some of the footprints. The pollen came from land plants, mainly pine, avoiding the groundwater carbon issue. The researchers also collected stones above the lowest footprints and used a dating method that estimates how long the stones had been buried.
The pollen gave an age range of 23,400 to 22,600 years old, and the stone an age minimum of about 21,500 years old. Both results proved the previous age estimate. Despite possible errors in the individual dating methods, “the data overall from the new study strongly indicate human presence in the Americas” around 22,000 years ago, says Bente Philippsen, a physicist at the Norwegian University.
One thing is certain: There’s still plenty to uncover about the footprints.Coauthor Kathleen Springer says, “We are learning more every time we go out there,” she says. “This paper is literally the latest chapter in the White Sands story.”
8. How many possible methods does the text mention to settle the controversy
A. Only one. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
9. Why is it possible to overestimate the footprints’ age
A. Aquatic plants might have absorbed groundwater.
B. Aquatic plant’s seeds in and around the footprints are different.
C. The method of radiocarbon dating is not scientifically reliable at all.
D. Groundwater carbon will affect the amount of radiocarbon detected.
10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5
A. How the age estimation proved to be wrong.
B. Whether radiocarbon dating method is effective.
C. Why there was human presence in the American.
D. What conclusion can be made through the research.
11. What is Kathleen Springer’s attitude to this new research
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Confused. D. Critical .
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两年前,科学家们在新墨西哥州白沙国家公园发现的人类脚印令人惊讶地古老,这引起了一场争论。研究人员通过研究古代脚印认为人类可能比之前认为的更早到达北美。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法)of an aquatic(水生的)plant’s seeds in and around the footprints suggested that the first humans in North America came from Siberia via a land bridge between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago, almost 7000 years earlier than the long-held theory.”(对脚印内及周围水生植物种子的放射性碳定年法表明,北美的第一批人类是在23000到21000年前通过大陆桥从西伯利亚来的,比长期以来的理论早了近7000年。)以及第四段中“Now, two other ways probably solving the argument, researchers report in the Oct. 6 Science.”(研究人员在10月6日的《科学》杂志上报告说,现在有另外两种方法可能解决这个争论。)可知,文章提到了三种可能的方法来解决争议。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But some scientists noted that the aquatic plants used to date the footprints could have absorbed ancient carbon in groundwater. “There’s a possibility then for the plant to give overstated viewpoints on its age,” says Davis, who wrote a criticism of the 2021 paper.”(但一些科学家指出,用来测定脚印年代的水生植物可能吸收了地下水中的古代碳。戴维斯对2021年的论文写了一篇批评文章,他说:“那么,植物有可能对其年龄给出夸大的观点。”)可知,有可能高估脚印的年龄是因为地下水碳会影响放射性碳的检测量。故选D项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“The pollen gave an age range of 23,400 to 22,600 years old, and the stone an age minimum of about 21,500 years old. Both results proved the previous age estimate. Despite possible errors in the individual dating methods, “the data overall from the new study strongly indicate human presence in the Americas” around 22,000 years ago, says Bente Philippsen, a physicist at the Norwegian University.”(花粉的年龄在23,400到22,600岁之间,而石头的年龄至少在21,500岁左右。这两个结果都证实了之前的年龄估计。挪威大学的物理学家本特·菲利普森(Bente Philippsen)说,尽管个别的测年方法可能存在错误,但“新研究的总体数据有力地表明,人类在22000年前就已经在美洲出现了”。)可知,第5段主要讲的是通过研究可以得出什么结论。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Coauthor Kathleen Springer says, “We are learning more every time we go out there,” she says.”(合著者凯瑟琳·斯普林格说:“每次我们去那里,我们都会学到更多。”)可推知,凯瑟琳·斯普林格对这项新研究持支持的态度。故选A项。
D
Warming seas across the globe are endangering coral reefs(珊瑚礁), a key ecosystem that supports sea life to live .
As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups of adult corals for the first time, according to a recent study.
Freezing biological materials, or “cryopreserving” them, refers to keeping them in a deep freeze for long periods without affecting the cell’s viability(活性), according to the Science Times website.
Researchers in the US experimented with freezing pea-sized pieces of a common coral in Hawaii. After removing the microbes on the corals, they closed the corals in metal containers filled with a chemical solution that helped control ice growth.
When the corals reached a temperature of around-200℃, the remaining water in the corals solidified into a glassy form. The corals were still alive, with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow. After being cryopreserved for a few minutes, the researchers pulled the corals out and placed them in warm water. In two minutes, they started consuming oxygen -a sign of them staying alive.
Previously, researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae(幼虫), according to a study in 2018. However, the larvae can only be collected when corals spaw(产卵), which happens just a few nights each year. “That’s putting a lot of eggs in one basket,” US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News.
This breakthrough offers more hope to the world’s corals, said Roger. However, there’s more work to be done. A few days after thawing, the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteria they normally live in harmony with. The researchers are working on using medicine to help them survive for a longer period of time.
12. What is the purpose of the recent study
A. To bring dead corals back to life.
B. To freeze and revive coral larvae.
C. To find a way to preserve corals.
D. To study the conditions of coral growth.
13. What happened to the corals when they were cryopreserved
A. They died temporarily.
B. Their life functions slowed down.
C. They remained alive and unchanged.
D. They fed on microbes in the containers.
14. What does Roger think about cryopreserving coral larvae
A. It is not a reliable solution.
B. It needs a large number of eggs.
C. It holds promise for restoring corals.
D. It requires overly expensive technology.
15. What challenge do the researchers still need to solve
A. Finding a suitable freezing medium.
B. Identifying the bacteria on the corals.
C. Maintaining the coral’s health after thawing.
D. Expanding the collection of coral larvae.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们通过冷冻的方式来保护珊瑚礁免于灭绝。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups of adult corals for the first time,according to a recent study.”(根据最近的一项研究,作为拯救它们免于灭绝的可能方法,科学家们最近首次冻结并复活了成年珊瑚群。)可知,科学家将珊瑚冷冻这一研究的目的是为了使他们免于灭绝。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The corals were still alive, with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow.”(珊瑚仍然活着,它们的生命驱动功能变得极其缓慢。)可知,当珊瑚被冷冻保存时,它们的生命机能会减缓。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Previously, researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae(幼虫), according to a study in 2018. However, the larvae can only be collected when corals spaw(产卵), which happens just a few nights each year. “That’s putting a lot of eggs in one basket,” US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News.”(根据2018年的一项研究,此前,研究人员已经成功地冷冻保存了珊瑚幼虫。然而,幼虫只能在珊瑚产卵时收集,这种情况每年只发生几个晚上。“这是把很多鸡蛋放在一个篮子里,”美国海洋科学家丽莎·罗杰告诉《科学新闻》。)可推知,罗杰对低温保存珊瑚幼虫这一方法,认为这不是一个可靠的解决方案。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A few days after thawing, the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteria they normally live in harmony with. The researchers are working on using medicine to help them survive for a longer period of time.”(解冻几天后,珊瑚在这个过程中变得“压力山大”,并被它们通常和谐相处的细菌杀死。研究人员正在研究用药物来帮助它们存活更长的时间。)可知,研究人员还需要解决的问题是怎样维持珊瑚解冻后的健康。故选C项。

Speaking of the lovely memory, one floods back instantly. Once my parents promised to give me a gift if I did well in exams. Unluckily, the result was bad. Instead of criticizing me, my father said: “No problem, next time you can do better, and the gift is still for you!”. I was greatly moved.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The morning of June 30 2014, was warm and fine. We sat on the cottage dock, relaxing on the chairs with our several dear friends. Our kids were playing on a big white paddleboard in the lake. As the children screamed in delight and swam, we adults joked about middle age, weight problems and so on. Everyone laughed. The mood was light.
Then black clouds rolled in over the calm blue lake and blocked out the sun.
“Looks like rain,” said my husband, Ian.
“Let’s head up the hill before it starts to pour.”
The kids unwillingly pulled the paddleboard to shore and we hiked up the path to the cottage (小屋) that my parents built in 1969. The wind became stronger. Thunder boomed and echoed through the rolling hills. We were glad to be indoors and comfortable.
The rain kept pouring. Ian decided to see the situation outside. He stepped onto the cottage’s small covered porch (门廊). A moment later, he called me to join him.
“Come out here, Patricia,” he said.
“No, I’m good in here, honey,” I said. I felt sleepy in my chair. I was enjoying my rest time and the sound of the rain on the roof.
“Come, please,” he said. “NOW!”
I recognized the anxious tone in his voice; it meant trouble. When I stepped outside, I couldn’t believe the scene before me. Water poured down our driveway. Small streams formed, flooding the cottage and the land around.
Ten minutes later, our yard was filled with water like a swimming pool.
The water tore away the grass and gardens. It carved out a deep ditch (沟渠) along one side of the building, exposing the pier (支柱) that my dad had poured forty-five years ago when he and my mom built our cottage.
Ian stepped forward. “We need to get all the cars to the main road before the driveways wash completely away. I’ll get shovels (铲子).”
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。
Soon,every adult had a shovel in hand.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rain stopped and the dinner was ready.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Soon, every adult had a shovel in hand. We worked to fill holes in the dirt so we could push all of our vehicles one by one up our driveway. The rain kept coming. Our side stairs were torn away from the cottage. The main road at the top of our driveway washed out. We were covered in mud and got wet from head to toe. But we were standing together, leaning on the shovels in our hands. Finally, the last vehicle made it to the road.
The rain stopped and the diner was ready. We ate delicious chicken and then played board games together. We listened to water rushing down the ditch to the lake, as it did all night long. The next morning we woke to the sounds of trucks and construction workers repairing the road at the top of the driveway. The kids ran out to the yard and kicked a soccer ball over piles of mud, laughing and running like nothing had happened. All our friends stepped outside, one of them said : “With many shovels, we can make it!”. Everyone laughed.

What makes a calligrapher(书法家)one of the best of all time The answer can be found in Weidu Fu, written by Zuo Si, an ancient Chinese writer. He wrote: “Accumulate in the way the clouds gather, and release as smoothly as the rain drops.” The description properly summarizes the way Chen Hailiang presents his calligraphy momentum(气势)on paper in a gentle, relaxed manner. It has led to the 55-year-old being considered one of the leading calligraphers of his generation.
Chen has received many accolades, including several Lanting Awards, the highest prize in the field of calligraphy.“Still, I have room to achieve maturity, even at my age,” he said at the opening of his one-man exhibition, Artistry of Original Strokes, running at the National Art Museum of China through Tuesday.
On show are more than 90 pieces of work, displaying Chen’s various works. There are self-composed poems and couplets, as well as copies of some famous, historical calligraphic masterpieces. It offers a glimpse of Chen’s efforts with different styles of calligraphy and his mastery of the cursive script (caoshu).
His accomplishments are grounded in years of hard work. “If someone truly wants to be a professional in the field,” Chen says, “they should at least practice eight hours a day. I sometimes practice much longer than that, and for the rest of the day, I write and read about calligraphy, or articles on the relationship between calligraphy and other forms of Chinese art.”
Liu Heng, a famous scholar of the China Calligraphers Association, says, “ Chen has achieved a technical brilliance, but he is far from being content with copying the styles of those great artists. He has been trying to establish his own style, and he has done it.”
4. Why does the author mention the words from Weidu Fu in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the writer of Weidu Fu.
B. To show Chen’s excellence in calligraphy.
C. To explain the reason for Chen’s success.
D. To compare the works of Chen and Zuo.
5. What does the underlined word “ accolades” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Benefits. B. Reviews. C. Honors . D. Rewards.
6. According to Chen,what is most important to be an expert in the field
A. Keeping reading every day.
B. Getting to know the history of the field.
C. Staying in the north of China for some period of time.
D. Throwing yourself into your field that you are working on.
7. What can we learn about Chen’s works from the text
A. They are of various styles.
B. They make the audience relaxed.
C. They are just copies of some masterpieces.
D. They combine with the forms of western art.

Human footprints in White Sands National Park in New Mexico aroused an argument two years ago when scientists found the prints to be surprisingly old.
In 2021, researchers described more than 60 footprints preserved in New Mexico. Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法)of an aquatic(水生的)plant’s seeds in and around the footprints suggested that the first humans in North America came from Siberia via a land bridge between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago, almost 7000 years earlier than the long-held theory.
But some scientists noted that the aquatic plants used to date the footprints could have absorbed ancient carbon in groundwater. “There’s a possibility then for the plant to give overstated viewpoints on its age,” says Davis, who wrote a criticism of the 2021 paper.
Now, two other ways probably solving the argument, researchers report in the Oct. 6 Science. Pigati and colleagues radiocarbon-dated pollen(花粉)stuck in the same layers as some of the footprints. The pollen came from land plants, mainly pine, avoiding the groundwater carbon issue. The researchers also collected stones above the lowest footprints and used a dating method that estimates how long the stones had been buried.
The pollen gave an age range of 23,400 to 22,600 years old, and the stone an age minimum of about 21,500 years old. Both results proved the previous age estimate. Despite possible errors in the individual dating methods, “the data overall from the new study strongly indicate human presence in the Americas” around 22,000 years ago, says Bente Philippsen, a physicist at the Norwegian University.
One thing is certain: There’s still plenty to uncover about the footprints.Coauthor Kathleen Springer says, “We are learning more every time we go out there,” she says. “This paper is literally the latest chapter in the White Sands story.”
8. How many possible methods does the text mention to settle the controversy
A. Only one. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
9. Why is it possible to overestimate the footprints’ age
A. Aquatic plants might have absorbed groundwater.
B. Aquatic plant’s seeds in and around the footprints are different.
C. The method of radiocarbon dating is not scientifically reliable at all.
D. Groundwater carbon will affect the amount of radiocarbon detected.
10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5
A. How the age estimation proved to be wrong.
B. Whether radiocarbon dating method is effective.
C. Why there was human presence in the American.
D. What conclusion can be made through the research.
11. What is Kathleen Springer’s attitude to this new research
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Confused. D. Critical .
D

As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups of adult corals for the first time, according to a recent study.
Freezing biological materials, or “cryopreserving” them, refers to keeping them in a deep freeze for long periods without affecting the cell’s viability(活性), according to the Science Times website.
Researchers in the US experimented with freezing pea-sized pieces of a common coral in Hawaii. After removing the microbes on the corals, they closed the corals in metal containers filled with a chemical solution that helped control ice growth.
When the corals reached a temperature of around-200℃, the remaining water in the corals solidified into a glassy form. The corals were still alive, with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow. After being cryopreserved for a few minutes, the researchers pulled the corals out and placed them in warm water. In two minutes, they started consuming oxygen -a sign of them staying alive.
Previously, researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae(幼虫), according to a study in 2018. However, the larvae can only be collected when corals spaw(产卵), which happens just a few nights each year. “That’s putting a lot of eggs in one basket,” US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News.
This breakthrough offers more hope to the world’s corals, said Roger. However, there’s more work to be done. A few days after thawing, the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteria they normally live in harmony with. The researchers are working on using medicine to help them survive for a longer period of time.
12. What is the purpose of the recent study
A. To bring dead corals back to life.
B. To freeze and revive coral larvae.
C. To find a way to preserve corals.
D. To study the conditions of coral growth.
13. What happened to the corals when they were cryopreserved
A. They died temporarily.
B. Their life functions slowed down.
C. They remained alive and unchanged.
D. They fed on microbes in the containers.
14. What does Roger think about cryopreserving coral larvae
A. It is not a reliable solution.
B. It needs a large number of eggs.
C. It holds promise for restoring corals.
D. It requires overly expensive technology.
15. What challenge do the researchers still need to solve
A. Finding a suitable freezing medium.
B. Identifying the bacteria on the corals.
C. Maintaining the coral’s health after thawing.
D. Expanding the collection of coral larvae.

The morning of June 30 2014, was warm and fine. We sat on the cottage dock, relaxing on the chairs with our several dear friends. Our kids were playing on a big white paddleboard in the lake. As the children screamed in delight and swam, we adults joked about middle age, weight problems and so on. Everyone laughed. The mood was light.
Then black clouds rolled in over the calm blue lake and blocked out the sun.
“Looks like rain,” said my husband, Ian.
“Let’s head up the hill before it starts to pour.”
The kids unwillingly pulled the paddleboard to shore and we hiked up the path to the cottage (小屋) that my parents built in 1969. The wind became stronger. Thunder boomed and echoed through the rolling hills. We were glad to be indoors and comfortable.
The rain kept pouring. Ian decided to see the situation outside. He stepped onto the cottage’s small covered porch (门廊). A moment later, he called me to join him.
“Come out here, Patricia,” he said.
“No, I’m good in here, honey,” I said. I felt sleepy in my chair. I was enjoying my rest time and the sound of the rain on the roof.
“Come, please,” he said. “NOW!”
I recognized the anxious tone in his voice; it meant trouble. When I stepped outside, I couldn’t believe the scene before me. Water poured down our driveway. Small streams formed, flooding the cottage and the land around.
Ten minutes later, our yard was filled with water like a swimming pool.
The water tore away the grass and gardens. It carved out a deep ditch (沟渠) along one side of the building, exposing the pier (支柱) that my dad had poured forty-five years ago when he and my mom built our cottage.
Ian stepped forward. “We need to get all the cars to the main road before the driveways wash completely away. I’ll get shovels (铲子).”
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。
Soon,every adult had a shovel in hand.
