第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
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
Often, there is a false idea that one must be “in-the-know” to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.
Look at the Art
As the first step, it’s necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork’s general features:
● Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork
● Does it appear chaotic (混乱的) or organized
● Are the colors bright or soft
Identify the Art and Artist
Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we’ll know more about its anti-war meaning.
Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.
Think About the Meaning
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.
Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in the art For example, the owls in Lebo’s works represent wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored
In addition, ask how the art makes you feel. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.
The next time you’re admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
1. What is the first step when viewing art
A. Doing some research on the artist. B. Being “in-the-know” about the work
C. Identifying the work’s general features D. Knowing the year of an artwork’s creation
2. When thinking about the meaning of an artwork, you should ________.
A. explain it freely B. choose a title for it
C. describe it to the viewers D. ask how it makes you feel
3. The passage is probably written for ________.
A. museum staff B. gallery visitors
C. professional artists D. exhibition organizers
B
Steph put some flowers “borrowed” from her neighbour Mrs Robinson’s garden next to her cold breakfast and costly plates and took a photo. She wanted to brighten the colours on her picture. Choosing a filter (滤镜), she noticed TrueBeauty downloaded before. Her picture looked perfect with that filter. She posted it on the social media for her 15k followers, hoping they would wish to have the same life as she showed. Then she threw away the food now that it was cold.
Steph was surprised to get so few likes and so many negative comments. She looked again at the picture she had posted. Her picture showed a horrible breakfast with flies all over them and the flowers were dead. She tried to delete (删除) the photo, but she couldn’t. Just then, she received a message. Steph read:
Dear User, I know that each of you truly cares about showing yourself. Are you as beautiful on the inside as on the outside If you want your pictures to show the real you, it’s time to be as beautiful in real life as on your social media. Love, True Beauty PS. You can’t remove the filter or delete the pictures you posted using it. After the first time you use TrueBeauty, it will change all your photos from that moment on!
Steph made her account private to hide the ugly pictures. She didn’t want to do anything if she couldn’t post photos of her life. With nothing to do, she went downstairs, past Mrs Robinson’s garden. She noticed the smell of the flowers for the first time. Lovely! Then she saw Mrs Robinson watering the plants. She offered to help. A couple of hours later, they were done with the work. Steph had enjoyed herself a lot. They took a picture, standing together in front of the roses and smiling.
Later that evening Steph looked at the picture on her phone. She changed the colours a little bit. The roses looked beautiful anyway, with or without any changes. Nothing could improve the smiles on her and Mrs Robinson’s faces. A really beautiful picture! She posted this picture. It looked exactly the same online! She made her account public again and added some text to the photo: Beauty in the garden.
4. Why did Steph post the filtered picture online
A. To show off her life. B. To try out a new filter.
C. To share her tasty breakfast. D. To teach photography skills.
5. What can we learn about TrueBeauty
A. It improves the ugly pictures. B. It calls on us to behave honestly.
C. It advises us to hide comments. D. It cares about its users’ feelings.
6. How did Steph feel about gardening with Mrs Robinson
A. Uplifted. B. Confused. C. Confident. D. Lucky.
7. What would the author most possibly write next
A. Steph no longer posted her life on social media.
B. Steph successfully removed the TrueBeauty app.
C. Steph learned to improve her appreciation of beauty.
D. Steph inspired her followers to value their inner self.

The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve, located near India western tip, is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic lion. By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in 2020, a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered.
One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns (图案) that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere.
In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring,” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.”
Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”, he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals,” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.”
8. What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions
A. Stopping them from being killed. B. Keeping track of them.
C. Protecting their living environment. D. Increasing their population.
9. How does SIMBA help researchers
A. By locating lions’ homes. B. By tracking other animals.
C. By monitoring the animal stealers. D. By providing accurate information.
10. What’s Baneijee’s opinion about the AI program
A. It needs to be widely used. B. It has saved the at-risk animals.
C. Its possible risks should be aware of. D. Its disadvantages should be ignored.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Application of AI on Protecting Animals. B. The AI Program for the Endangered Asiatic Lions.
C. The Measures of Protecting Asiatic Lions. D. The Biggest Challenge of the AI system.
D
Certainly, a well-rounded(全面的) education is the foundation(基础)from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many great teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm(热情)for everlasting learning!
But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking (缺少)something. I watched the movie Easy A with my daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their children and developed their ability to handle their own problems.
There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child who announced that he received an "A" on his spelling test. She replied, "That's great, honey, but everything has. spell check these days. "It was funny…. but TRUE! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook. Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card(信用卡)isn't free money—you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.
Choosing a career(职业)is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major(主修课程)twice. It's not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she "wanted to do" and the course she chose did not match.
I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven't seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist (记者)in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience—maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a feel "for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.
12. Why does the author mention the movie Easy A
A. To share the movie with readers.
B To show parents' love for their children.
C. To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.
D. To prove the importance of being supportive.
13 The author believes that________.
A. parents and school should work together
B. there is no need for students to learn spelling
C. children are able to handle their own problems
D. it is important to help students understand real world
14. The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. special B. discouraging C. unimportant D. simple
15. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. Schools should prepare students for their future life.
B. Foundation is important for a well-rounded education.
C. Life experience is more important than school education.
D. Students should take part-time jobs to get working experience.

Often, there is a false idea that one must be “in-the-know” to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.

By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in 2020, a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered.
One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns (图案) that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere.
In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring,” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.”
Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”, he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals,” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.”
8. What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions
A. Stopping them from being killed. B. Keeping track of them.
C Protecting their living environment. D. Increasing their population.
9. How does SIMBA help researchers
A. By locating lions’ homes. B. By tracking other animals.
C. By monitoring the animal stealers. D. By providing accurate information.
10. What’s Baneijee’s opinion about the AI program
A. It needs to be widely used. B. It has saved the at-risk animals.
C. Its possible risks should be aware of. D. Its disadvantages should be ignored.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Application of AI on Protecting Animals. B. The AI Program for the Endangered Asiatic Lions.
C. The Measures of Protecting Asiatic Lions. D. The Biggest Challenge of the AI system.

Certainly, a well-rounded(全面的) education is the foundation(基础)from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many great teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm(热情)for everlasting learning!
But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking (缺少)something. I watched the movie Easy A with my daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their children and developed their ability to handle their own problems.
There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child who announced that he received an "A" on his spelling test. She replied, "That's great, honey, but everything has. spell check these days. "It was funny…. but TRUE! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook. Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card(信用卡)isn't free money—you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.
Choosing a career(职业)is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major(主修课程)twice. It's not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she "wanted to do" and the course she chose did not match.
I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven't seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist (记者)in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience—maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a feel "for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.
12. Why does the author mention the movie Easy A
A. To share the movie with readers.
B. To show parents' love for their children.
C. To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.
D. To prove the importance of being supportive.
13. The author believes that________.
A. parents and school should work together
B. there is no need for students to learn spelling
C. children are able to handle their own problems
D. it is important to help students understand real world
14. The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. special B. discouraging C. unimportant D. simple
15. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. Schools should prepare students for their future life.
B. Foundation is important for a well-rounded education.
C. Life experience is more important than school education.
D. Students should take part-time jobs to get working experience.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
