FAMOUS CHINESE PAINTINGS, ARTISTIC TREASURES
With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.
Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi
The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.
Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang
During the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan
Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.
A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng
Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.

My parents and teachers-even some of my friends—think I’m quiet and shy, really smart but not very cool. In fact, that’s who I am when I am with them, but not who I really am. The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry. I met Tom and Graham at a Young Scientist contest last y car. The three of us were among the five finalists. As soon as we met, we really hit it off.
As we talked about the conference, we discovered that all three of us were interested in space debris mitigation, which is the study of the prevention of space garbage damaging satellites and the new space station. It was great to meet other people my age who actually knew what I was talking about. When I talk about “space garbage,” most of the kids at my school just say, “Oh, you mean like asteroid-type (小行星之类的) things I played a videogame about that once.”
Luckily, we met each other on the first day of the conference, so we were able to spend a lot of time together for the entire three days. We talked about everything from the best schools to go to, what degrees to get, and even the names of the best people in each field. We want to study with the pioneers. Both Tom and I want to study with Dr. Claude Phipps, the inventor of a project that developed a laser (光) that knocks down space garbage before it does any damage to expensive space vehicles. Graham wants to study under Didier Patrick Queloz, the physics Nobel winner from the University of Cambridge.
Even though the three of us don’t get a chance to see each other very often, we’re still the best of friends. We call each other a couple of times a month. I always feel happy when I talk with Tom and Graham. It’s like the other person in me wakes up. With them, I’m my “real shade.”
4. What does the underlined phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Competed seriously. B. Prepared fully.
C. Got on well. D. Stood out fast.
5. What might the author feel when he talks about space garbage with his classmates
A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Surprised.
6. What can be learned about Claude Phipps
A. He is a Nobel Prizewinner in physics.
B. He finds some asteroid-type things.
C. He reduces the price of space vehicles.
D. He contributes to dealing with space garbage.
7. What message does the author most want to give us
A. A friend is a second self.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C A friend to all is a friend to none.
D. A friend is easier lost than found.
C
People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful- plastics have on human lives and the environment. As polymer (聚合物) scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in.
Everyday items including milk jug, grocery bags, and takeout containers are made from a class of polymers called polyolefins. These plastics are really durable (耐用的) because the chemical bonds in those polymers are extremely stable. In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake.
In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single, long molecule (分子) creates what’s called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types.
Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling. So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the plastics the world relies on. We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning plastics
A. Their multiple uses. B. Their chemical properties.
C. Their recycling challenges. D. Their classification criteria.
9. A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is ______.
A. mixing building blocks with long molecules
B. integrating chemicals into the two polymers
C. combining two different multiblock polymers
D. adjusting the percentage of the two polymers
10. Which is a feature of multiblock polymers
A. They are made from sustainable materials.
B. They can be recycled by adding hydrogen.
C. Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics.
D. Their properties change with rounds of recycling.
11. Which of the following might be the best title
A. Designing for Recycling B. Classifying Plastic Waste
C. Replace Plastics with Polymers D. Technology Creates the Future
D
Literature makes us better thinkers. It moves us to see the multi-sidedness of situations and therefore expands the width of our own visions, moving us towards dreams and solutions we might not otherwise have imagined.
－Judith Langer,Envisioning Literature.
When students study Literature, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read. They understand about their own culture and others’. They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain. For example, one 15-year-old student shared with me that when studying the short story The Shoes of My Sensei by Goh Sin Tub, he could put himself into the shoes of those who lived through World War II, and understand their suffering, and what it was like during that time.
Importantly, they lean to consider multiple aspects and understand the complexity of human nature. Take, for example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Do we feel Napoleon is fully responsible for the miserable lives the animals lead Aren’t the other animals responsible for their own misfortune too, having allowed Napoleon to bully them In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white. And there lies the value of the subject—it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life, to take uncertainties in one’s stride.
Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility. For example, in a text like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the main character chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than betray his friends and neighbors. When considering this character’s motivations, students discuss the value of integrity. They reflect on what it takes to be a man or woman who commands the respect of the people around them even in difficult situations. The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up.
12. Why is an example of a 15-year-old student mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To raise people’s awareness of appreciating others’ culture.
B. To appeal to readers to read more Literature on World War II.
C. To remind students that Literature can make the world free of war.
D. To show Literature can make one think from others’ points of view.
13. What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2
A. Accept something uncertain without special effort.
B. Allow one to take the ambiguities of life for granted.
C. Have the courage to face the misfortune occurring in life.
D. Take the responsibility to fight against the miserable lives.
14. According to the last paragraph, Literature can help students ________.
A. lead a happy life
B. build up right values
C. get on well with friends
D. handle difficult situations
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Where should students start when they study Literature
B. What will students gain through the study of Literature
C. Why will Literature help students in their future success
D. How can we support students in their study of Literature

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.(中国拥有数千年的连续历史，是世界上文化最独特的国家之一。几个世纪以来，中国艺术家创作的绘画作品如今在10亿多人心中流传。)”以及全文内容可知文章主要讲的是中国艺术家创作的绘画作品，所以文章最有可能出自一本和艺术相关的杂志。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi部分的“Later, Cao Zhi composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people.In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.(后来，曹植写了一首关于女神和普通人之间爱情的感人的诗。公元4世纪，中国艺术家顾恺之被这个故事所感动，并为这首诗配了插图。)”可知Nymph of the Luo River实际上是由顾恺之根据曹植的《洛神赋》所配的一幅画，所以B不对；根据Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang部分的“In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.(在他的画中，女士们站在那里，就像时装模特一样，但其中一人正在逗弄一只可爱的狗。)”可知Zhou Fang的画里面画的并不是时装模特，所以C不正确；根据Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan部分的“he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.(他描绘了汴京(今开封)人民的日常生活。)”可知Zhang Zeduan在《清明上河图》里面描述的并不是官员们的生活，而是普通老百姓的日常生活，所以D项不对；根据A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. (王希孟十七岁时就画了《千里江山图》。)”，可知王希孟在十几岁时就完成了他的大作，所以A正确。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature.(官员和学者不仅喜欢听音乐，他们也从描绘自然中找到乐趣。)”可知A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng可以让官员们享受到大自然的美景，所以如果你想欣赏大自然的美景，可以选择这幅画。故选B项。

My parents and teachers-even some of my friends—think I’m quiet and shy, really smart but not very cool. In fact, that’s who I am when I am with them, but not who I really am. The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry. I met Tom and Graham at a Young Scientist contest last y car. The three of us were among the five finalists. As soon as we met, we really hit it off.
As we talked about the conference, we discovered that all three of us were interested in space debris mitigation, which is the study of the prevention of space garbage damaging satellites and the new space station. It was great to meet other people my age who actually knew what I was talking about. When I talk about “space garbage,” most of the kids at my school just say, “Oh, you mean like asteroid-type (小行星之类的) things I played a videogame about that once.”
Luckily, we met each other on the first day of the conference, so we were able to spend a lot of time together for the entire three days. We talked about everything from the best schools to go to, what degrees to get, and even the names of the best people in each field. We want to study with the pioneers. Both Tom and I want to study with Dr. Claude Phipps, the inventor of a project that developed a laser (光) that knocks down space garbage before it does any damage to expensive space vehicles. Graham wants to study under Didier Patrick Queloz, the physics Nobel winner from the University of Cambridge.
Even though the three of us don’t get a chance to see each other very often, we’re still the best of friends. We call each other a couple of times a month. I always feel happy when I talk with Tom and Graham. It’s like the other person in me wakes up. With them, I’m my “real shade.”
4. What does the underlined phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Competed seriously. B. Prepared fully.
C. Got on well. D. Stood out fast.
5. What might the author feel when he talks about space garbage with his classmates
A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Surprised.
6. What can be learned about Claude Phipps
A. He is a Nobel Prizewinner in physics.
B. He finds some asteroid-type things.
C. He reduces the price of space vehicles.
D. He contributes to dealing with space garbage.
7. What message does the author most want to give us
A. A friend is a second self.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A friend to all is a friend to none.
D. A friend is easier lost than found.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A

People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful- plastics have on human lives and the environment. As polymer (聚合物) scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems, we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in.
Everyday items including milk jug, grocery bags, and takeout containers are made from a class of polymers called polyolefins. These plastics are really durable (耐用的) because the chemical bonds in those polymers are extremely stable. In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake.
In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single, long molecule (分子) creates what’s called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types.
Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling. So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the plastics the world relies on. We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning plastics
A. Their multiple uses. B. Their chemical properties.
C. Their recycling challenges. D. Their classification criteria.
9. A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is ______.
A. mixing building blocks with long molecules
B. integrating chemicals into the two polymers
C. combining two different multiblock polymers
D. adjusting the percentage of the two polymers
10. Which is a feature of multiblock polymers
A. They are made from sustainable materials.
B. They can be recycled by adding hydrogen.
C. Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics.
D. Their properties change with rounds of recycling.
11. Which of the following might be the best title
A. Designing for Recycling B. Classifying Plastic Waste
C. Replace Plastics with Polymers D. Technology Creates the Future
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了聚合物科学家如何致力于解决塑料废物问题，通过重新设计聚合物的结构以实现其可回收性。

主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“ In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn’t require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake.(在一次性物品的世界中，耐用性不再是一个设计特征，而是一个设计缺陷。想象一下，如果今天使用的一半塑料可以通过两倍于现在的过程进行回收。此外，传统的回收需要对所有收集到的材料进行仔细的分类，这对于这么多不同的塑料来说是具有挑战性的。例如，将纸和金属分开并不需要复杂的技术，但将一个容器和一个牛奶罐中不同的聚烯烃进行分类却很难做到没有偶尔的错误。)”可知，文章第二段主要讲述的是关于塑料回收的挑战。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled.

Literature makes us better thinkers. It moves us to see the multi-sidedness of situations and therefore expands the width of our own visions, moving us towards dreams and solutions we might not otherwise have imagined.
－Judith Langer,Envisioning Literature.
When students study Literature, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read. They understand about their own culture and others’. They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain. For example, one 15-year-old student shared with me that when studying the short story The Shoes of My Sensei by Goh Sin Tub, he could put himself into the shoes of those who lived through World War II, and understand their suffering, and what it was like during that time.
Importantly, they lean to consider multiple aspects and understand the complexity of human nature. Take, for example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Do we feel Napoleon is fully responsible for the miserable lives the animals lead Aren’t the other animals responsible for their own misfortune too, having allowed Napoleon to bully them In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white. And there lies the value of the subject—it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life, to take uncertainties in one’s stride.
Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility. For example, in a text like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the main character chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than betray his friends and neighbors. When considering this character’s motivations, students discuss the value of integrity. They reflect on what it takes to be a man or woman who commands the respect of the people around them even in difficult situations. The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up.
12. Why is an example of a 15-year-old student mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To raise people’s awareness of appreciating others’ culture.
B. To appeal to readers to read more Literature on World War II.
C. To remind students that Literature can make the world free of war.
D. To show Literature can make one think from others’ points of view.
13. What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2
A. Accept something uncertain without special effort.
B. Allow one to take the ambiguities of life for granted.
C. Have the courage to face the misfortune occurring in life.
D. Take the responsibility to fight against the miserable lives.
14. According to the last paragraph, Literature can help students ________.
A. lead a happy life
B. build up right values
C. get on well with friends
D. handle difficult situations
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Where should students start when they study Literature
B. What will students gain through the study of Literature
C. Why will Literature help students in their future success
D. How can we support students in their study of Literature
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
