Passage 1
(23-24高二下·甘肃兰州·期末)We set off on our journey up Mount Wutai onto its peak to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful Bodhisattva Lights, ball-shaped lights floating in the whole sky with radiant beams. Seen from the foot of the mountain, the sky was gray and cloudy. In the distance stood the peak (山顶), unclear. 1
On the mountainside, our clothing grew wet. The road was slippery and difficult to walk. It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace. We spent the night at a small hotel. 2 The road was more slippery than the day before, so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.
On the way, we were told the unusual phenomenon wouldn’t be observed in the rain. We sighed with disappointment. 3 And the sun set in the west, the clouds disappeared and the mist faded.
Eventually, we arrived at the peak, with the sky filled with stars. Late in the night, we got awake by a shout. “Get up. Hurry up to see the lights!” We moved quickly, threw on a few pieces of clothing and ran out. It was cold, making our bodies shake from head to foot. However, our hearts were filled with excitement. 4
Thousands of ball-shaped objects floated slowly in the distance, shining golden beams of light, as though the whole sky were filled with countless glowing lanterns. The balls moved across the sky at the same speed. 5 They were light and delicate. Meanwhile, we all just froze there, speechless with wonder, appreciating the incredible views.

Passage 7
(23-24高二下·四川达州·期末)SETTING A GOAL OF PAINTING
You’ll find that having a clear goal when you go out painting will make you a better painter, faster. 1 The goals are as follows.
Explore an area. 2 . When in Scotland for the first time, I didn’t know what to paint. So, rather than making finished paintings, I focused on just sketching (素描) the things that were new to me. It’s a relaxing approach to painting, and it helps you get familiar with a strange land.
3 . It’s like exploring, but with more focus. On my Scotland trip, I became fond of a beautiful, ancient stone bridge and knew I wanted to make a big painting of it when I got home. I collected color studies in gouache (水粉画), pencil sketches and photos. Once home, where I had all the tools and materials ready, I was able to create that larger work.
Work on a skill or problem. This is usually a workshop goal, but you can do it on your own. If you don’t understand color temperature, consider making color studies in different temperature. 4 : Is it true that white in shadow is darker than black in light See for yourself by observing and painting such a situation.
Create a finished painting. This can be a difficult task compared to the others. You have to be at the top of your game, employing good design, good color and good edge treatment. I usually do this for open-air contests or when I’m practicing for one. Many artists, however, often enjoy bringing a painting fully to completion at the scene. 5
A.Have a good trip
B.Gather reference materials
C.Before this you’d better make a plan
D.This is what I do if I’m in unfamiliar area
E.Or you may have a question you want to answer
F.It takes experience, time and energy and plenty of coffee
G.Consider having one of four simple goals before heading out
Passage 8
(2024·贵州贵阳·二模)It is not hard to learn more about a piece of famous painting, but identifying an unknown painting can be tricky. What do you need to do to get its specific information Here are tips to identify a painting.
·Use the signature or monogram (字母组合图案) to dig online and find the image. Look in the corners of the painting to see if there is a signature or monogram. 1 If it’s harder to read, see if you can break down the letters and read them. This will let you narrow down the search and figure out who the artist is.
·Turn to an image recognition app to identify the painting immediately. If you’re struggling to remember an artist’s name or you want additional information on a particular painting, download an image recognition app designed specifically for art. There are several apps for both Android and iPhone that allow you to snap a photo of a painting to search through museum catalogues, university databases, and art history texts. 2
·Ask an expert to identify the era, style, or painter of an image. 3 The reason is that an expert like a professor in the field of art will be able to offer insights about the period, style, and give you a better sense for where to look. He may even know who the artist is as soon as he takes a look at it.
· 4 Contemporary painters may paint people or objects from the past, but they can’t time travel. If there’s a train, company logo or some other time-specific component of it, this is a great way to set a baseline (基准) for your search.
In a word, the tips above are helpful. 5 In this way, you will effortlessly identify the unknown painting.
A.This is the easiest way to find a specific painting.
B.Locate its exact location when you appreciate the painting.
C.If the name is easy to read, search the artist’s name up online to find it.
D.Email or visit an art history professor to ask whether he can look at the image.
E.Take advantage of obvious clues in the subject matter to narrow down the date.
F.Thus, you’ll find it easier than you think to find the information you’re looking for.
G.If the professor mainly focuses on newer artists, a contemporary abstract piece is going to be easier to identify.
Passage 9
(23-24高二下·辽宁本溪·期末)Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year. It can be passion to so many people. One of the reasons behind this is the advanced transportation system that humans have achieved up to now. 1 There are even personalities who have traveled the entire world.

4 Traveling forces us to take a break from our normal life and explore. It makes us appreciate beauties in the world. It fills us with positive energy. People suffering from spiritual illness from stress often choose the path of exploring and traveling to cure themselves. It creates unforgettable and endless fond memories, which comfort them and help ease their stress.
Traveling gets us real life education. People say that if you cannot read books, then start traveling for knowledge. What we learn from traveling different places cannot be taught in any school, college or university.

Passage 10
(2024·安徽·三模)In today’s world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge. Surely a child won’t have the patience to stare at something for long. 1 .
Being exposed to art, however, holds profound significance for the development of young minds, both intellectually and emotionally. 2 . Each painting, sculpture, or photograph in art galleries tells a story, inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.
But with many kids being extremely picky eaters, and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday’s porridge, how can we get them to tuck (狂吃) in 3 . I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intention of making them so.
First, why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture 4 . If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eye on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine.
5 . What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple questions like, “Who can guess the artist ” I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest.
A.Let them determine the pace
B.Make the art gallery fit in with your kids

Passage 11
(2024·全国·模拟预测)Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知的) scientist, says the complicated mental multi-tasking that dancing requires engages various parts of the brain at the same time, leading to the strengthening of neural (神经系统的) connections across different regions. 1 . “It’s socially, cognitively and physically demanding,” she says.
Anyone who’s ever felt the irresistible urge to dance to a favorite song knows that combining music and movement can lift your mood and melt away stress. But there’s a lot more happening in your brain when you’re trying to follow even the easiest choreography (编舞). 2 . Tasks like getting around the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if regarded as choreography.
To learn how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, researchers conducted MRI scans on older adults who engaged in either dance or a traditional exercise program over six months. 3 , the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes.
The researchers assume that these brain changes contribute to more neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections and pathways. 4 . Brain plasticity is similar to the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs.
5 . A Finnish study of people with severe brain injuries showed that dance-based recovery might improve mobility, cognition and overall well-being. Additionally, research shows that dancing can reduce the risk of brain-related diseases such as dementia (痴呆).
A.Moreover, dancing can help prevent brain injuries
B.In addition to the physical and neurological benefits
C.The effect extends beyond dancing to the real world
D.While both groups improved their level of physical fitness
E.Dancing might even help people with brain injuries and diseases
F.Imagine your brain is like a city with loads of roads and pathways
G.Basically, dancing requires more brain power than commonly believed
Passage 12
(2024·浙江温州·三模)Is a moviegoer different than a movie-lover I’d say so. You can love a movie by watching it at home. 1 . I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people about movies. By listening to what they say, I can report they only share one thing in common: they go out.
I’ve thought about two views of the moviegoer lately.
The first view comes from Roland Barthes. Most often, his moviegoers don’t go to the movies for a distinct purpose. 2 . They are bored. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink into a relaxed state. When they leave the movie theater, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie. 3 . Barthes sees them as a lonely being, one who is introspective (自省的). I think some of us use movie theaters to retreat inside ourselves.
The second view comes from the Clark Theater manager, Bruce Trinz. When people go to the movies they go for a certain personal motive. They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago. 4 , they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless. 5 , but they come to the movies filled with hope. They may not be able to define what they hope to experience, but they will know it when they feel it.
A.Whatever motive they have
B.To be a moviegoer, you have to go out
C.The movie also puts them somewhere else
D.They are instead wrapped up in themselves
E.Because moviegoers go in search of beauty
F.Moviegoers may be hopelessly addicted to the movies
G.It’s something to do with a response to leisure, free time
Passage 13
(23-24高二下·河北保定·阶段练习)How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. 1 So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known. But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” is how Star Wars begins. Its plot was not ground-breaking. 2 The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars stand out from other movies. People still talk about the light swords that could cut,burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations. 3 When Star Wars first came out in 1977, most movie theaters were stand-alone buildings, with just one movie screen. Using the money Star Wars had made for them,movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes. So new movie companies sprang up, including small ones creating experimental movies. 4 Some of the methods became popular and others failed. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies.
5 There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far,with more planned.
A.They tried out new techniques.
B.In fact, it was quite old-fashioned.
C.Moviegoers had never seen anything like it.
D.Thus, audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
E.Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F.If you are not a fan, you are still likely familiar with these words.
G.If you are a movie maker, you may be inspired by this classic film.

Seen from the foot of the mountain, the sky was gray and cloudy. In the distance stood the peak (山顶), unclear. 1
On the mountainside, our clothing grew wet. The road was slippery and difficult to walk. It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace. We spent the night at a small hotel. 2 The road was more slippery than the day before, so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.
On the way, we were told the unusual phenomenon wouldn’t be observed in the rain. We sighed with disappointment. 3 And the sun set in the west, the clouds disappeared and the mist faded.
Eventually, we arrived at the peak, with the sky filled with stars. Late in the night, we got awake by a shout. “Get up. Hurry up to see the lights!” We moved quickly, threw on a few pieces of clothing and ran out. It was cold, making our bodies shake from head to foot. However, our hearts were filled with excitement. 4
Thousands of ball-shaped objects floated slowly in the distance, shining golden beams of light, as though the whole sky were filled with countless glowing lanterns.

Avoid cliché(陈词滥调). Your poetry will be much stronger if you avoid cliches, which are phrases that have become so familiar that they have lost their meaning. 3 . By doing so, your reader is surprised and attracted by your writing. If you feel a certain phrase or image is too familiar to your reader, replace it with a more unique one.
4 . Poetry is made to be read out loud. So you should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page. Pay attention to the structure of your poem and your word choice.

Being exposed to art, however, holds profound significance for the development of young minds, both intellectually and emotionally. 2 . Each painting, sculpture, or photograph in art galleries tells a story, inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.
But with many kids being extremely picky eaters, and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday’s porridge, how can we get them to tuck (狂吃) in 3 . I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intention of making them so.
First, why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture 4 . If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eye on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine.
5 . What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple questions like, “Who can guess the artist ” I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest.

Passage 11
(2024·全国·模拟预测)Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知的) scientist, says the complicated mental multi-tasking that dancing requires engages various parts of the brain at the same time, leading to the strengthening of neural (神经系统的) connections across different regions. 1 . “It’s socially, cognitively and physically demanding,” she says.
Anyone who’s ever felt the irresistible urge to dance to a favorite song knows that combining music and movement can lift your mood and melt away stress. But there’s a lot more happening in your brain when you’re trying to follow even the easiest choreography (编舞). 2 . Tasks like getting around the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if regarded as choreography.
To learn how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, researchers conducted MRI scans on older adults who engaged in either dance or a traditional exercise program over six months. 3 , the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes.
The researchers assume that these brain changes contribute to more neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections and pathways. 4 . Brain plasticity is similar to the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs.
5 . A Finnish study of people with severe brain injuries showed that dance-based recovery might improve mobility, cognition and overall well-being. Additionally, research shows that dancing can reduce the risk of brain-related diseases such as dementia (痴呆).
A.Moreover, dancing can help prevent brain injuries
B.In addition to the physical and neurological benefits
C.The effect extends beyond dancing to the real world
D.While both groups improved their level of physical fitness
E.Dancing might even help people with brain injuries and diseases

Passage 12
(2024·浙江温州·三模)Is a moviegoer different than a movie-lover I’d say so. You can love a movie by watching it at home. 1 . I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people about movies. By listening to what they say, I can report they only share one thing in common: they go out.
I’ve thought about two views of the moviegoer lately.
The first view comes from Roland Barthes. Most often, his moviegoers don’t go to the movies for a distinct purpose. 2 . They are bored. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink into a relaxed state. When they leave the movie theater, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie. 3 . Barthes sees them as a lonely being, one who is introspective (自省的). I think some of us use movie theaters to retreat inside ourselves.
The second view comes from the Clark Theater manager, Bruce Trinz. When people go to the movies they go for a certain personal motive. They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago. 4 , they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless. 5 , but they come to the movies filled with hope. They may not be able to define what they hope to experience, but they will know it when they feel it.
A.Whatever motive they have
B.To be a moviegoer, you have to go out
C.The movie also puts them somewhere else
D.They are instead wrapped up in themselves
E.Because moviegoers go in search of beauty
F.Moviegoers may be hopelessly addicted to the movies

(他们可能想要忘记一些事情,或者逃离他们正在过的生活。或者他们可能想看一部他们多年前喜欢的电影。)”以及下文“they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. (他们是无可救药的影迷,很简单,就是喜欢电影。)”可知,设空处应说明的时不管他们有着什么目的,他们只是喜欢电影。选项A. Whatever motive they have (不管他们有什么动机)能够承上启下。故选A。
5. 根据上文“The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless. (在这个定义中,我唯一要质疑的是“无望”这个词。)”以及下文“but they come to the movies filled with hope. (但他们带着希望来看电影。)”可知,空格处与“无望”有关,且与下文为转折关系。选项F. Moviegoers may be hopelessly addicted to the movies (影迷们可能无可救药地沉迷于电影)与下文为转折关系,符合语境。故选F。
Passage 13
(23-24高二下·河北保定·阶段练习)How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. 1 So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known. But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” is how Star Wars begins. Its plot was not ground-breaking. 2 The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars stand out from other movies. People still talk about the light swords that could cut,burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations. 3 When Star Wars first came out in 1977, most movie theaters were stand-alone buildings, with just one movie screen. Using the money Star Wars had made for them,movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes. So new movie companies sprang up, including small ones creating experimental movies. 4 Some of the methods became popular and others failed. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies.
5 There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far,with more planned.
A.They tried out new techniques.
B.In fact, it was quite old-fashioned.
C.Moviegoers had never seen anything like it.
D.Thus, audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
E.Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F.If you are not a fan, you are still likely familiar with these words.
G.If you are a movie maker, you may be inspired by this classic film.
【答案】1. F 2. B 3. C 4. A 5. E

2. 根据上文“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (很久以前,在一个遥远的星系里)”以及“Its plot was not ground-breaking. (它的情节并不是突破性的)”可知,这个故事的情节很老旧,与B项“In fact, it was quite old-fashioned. ( 事实上,它是相当老式的。)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。
3. 根据上文“People still talk about the light swords that could cut, burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations.

4. 根据下文“Some of the methods became popular and others failed. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies. ( 其中一些方法变得流行起来,另一些则失败了。但是,多亏了《星球大战》,人们看到了新类型的电影。)”可知,电影院尝试了新的技术,与A项“They tried out new techniques. (他们尝试了新技术。)”表达的含义一致,故选A项。
5. 根据下文“There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. (之前也有电影续集,但它们往往只是对第一部电影的拙劣模仿。《星球大战》的电影都很受欢迎。)”可知,星球大战是历史上一部成功的电影,与E项“Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.(《星球大战》是历史上第一部真正成功的电影三部曲。)”表达的含义一致,故选E项。
Passage 14
(22-23高二下·广东广州·期末)Writing poetry can seem frightening if you do not feel you are naturally creative. But with the right inspiration and approach, you can also write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
◆ 1 You can start your poem by focusing on a particular subject or concept that you find fascinating. This can give your poem a clear goal or objective. For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship.”
◆Choose a poetic form. Get your creative juices flowing by picking a form for your poem. There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet. 2 Choose one and stick to that structure so your reader feels connected to your poem.
◆Use concrete imagery. Avoid abstract imagery and go for concrete descriptions in your poem. You should always try to describe something using the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. Using concrete imagery will immerse your reader in the world of your poem. 3
◆Include literary devices. Literary devices like metaphor and simile add variety and depth to your poetry. 4 Try to use some throughout your poem, varying them so you do not use only metaphors or only similes in your writing.
◆Read the poem out loud. Once you have completed a draft of the poem, you should read it aloud to yourself. 5 Pay attention to how each line of your poem flows into the next. Keep a pen close by so you can mark any lines or words that sound awkward.
A.Pick a specific theme or idea.
B.Notice how the words sound on the page.

5. 根据后文“Pay attention to how each line of your poem flows into the next. Keep a pen close by so you can mark any lines or words that sound awkward or jumbled.(注意你的每一行诗是如何衔接到下一行的。在手边放一支笔,这样你就可以标记任何听起来别扭或混乱的一行或单词)”可知,后文提到标记听起来别扭的地方或混乱的一行或单词,即注意单词的发音,B选项中sound对应后文中sound。故B选项“注意单词在页面上的发音”符合语境,故选B。
