Ⅰ.A
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手工艺活动对心理健康的积极影响。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Even after accounting for factors like health and employment status, researchers found that engaging in arts and crafts was associated with higher scores across their measures of mental health. The effect was modest—around 0.2 on a 10-point scale—but crafting was a stronger predictor that someone felt their life was worthwhile compared with harder-to-change factors such as having a job.”可知,从事艺术和手工艺让人们觉得自己的生活是值得的。由此可推知,手工艺活动提升了个人对生活价值的认可感。故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“‘There is something about crafting that gives a sense of progress and self-expression in a way that employment often doesn’t,’ says Keyes. ‘You get to be really proud of what you’re creating and see progress in front of your eyes in real time.’”可知,与就业相比,手工艺带来的是明显的进步和改变。故选B。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“‘Promoting and supporting arts and crafts could be used as a preventive measure for mental health on a national scale,’ says Keyes. ‘When people do it, they enjoy it. It’s an easy win.’”可知,Keyes认为促进和支持艺术和手工艺可以作为全国范围内心理健康的预防措施。由此可推知,Keyes会认同“这项研究提供了一个可参考的建议。”这一观点。故选C。
4.A 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由第二段的“Even after accounting for factors like health and employment status, researchers found that engaging in arts and crafts was associated with higher scores across their measures of mental health. The effect was modest—around 0.2 on a 10-point scale—but crafting was a stronger predictor that someone felt their life was worthwhile compared with harder-to-change factors such as having a job.”以及最后一段“‘Promoting and supporting arts and crafts could be used as a preventive measure for mental health on a national scale,’ says Keyes. ‘When people do it, they enjoy it. It’s an easy win.’”可知,文章主要探讨了手工艺活动如何提升人们的幸福感和生活满意度,特别是在与就业状态的比较中。所以“艺术和手工艺比就业更能提升幸福感”适合用作本文的标题。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了艺术经典在历史长河中经历了起起伏伏,随着艺术本身的变化,人们对艺术的品味也在改变。经典作品的地位取决于评论家对艺术的看法,人们对经典的争论同时也促使艺术文化继续发展。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the ‘timeless classic’ is anything but.”可知,timeless classic并不是一直有吸引力、保持不变的;结合下文“Classics come and go.”可知,经典作品随着时间的变化也是来来去去、不断改变的,故“What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water…”中的written in water是指这些永恒的经典作品实际上是随着时间的推移而改变的。故选C。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“Timeless ‘ideals’ paled in comparison with the timeworn marbles, and artists began to feel ‘cut off’ from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein.”可知,作者提到展出的“大理石雕像”是为了证明经典传统的变化。故选D。
7.B 段落大意题。根据第四段主题句“The writing of art history has also changed tastes.”和该段内容可知,该段主要讲述了人们对艺术品味的变化和发展,即艺术偏好的发展。故选B。
8.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the ‘status of a classic’ depends on critics, and is proof to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art.”可知,艺术评论家对经典作品的看法和观点决定了艺术经典作品的地位,可以改变人们对艺术作品的审美,对人们的审美相对论产生了非常重要的影响。故选C。
Ⅱ.第一节
One possible version:
Dear Tim,
We have just chosen twelve paintings as part of the exhibition themed “Beautiful China in My Eyes”. I’m writing to inform you that your painting is among the selected ones.Congratulations!
Your painting mainly focuses on the big changes that have taken place in China in the past decades. Not only do you show your love for China, but you also show your talent and skills in your painting. There’s no doubt that it has been highly thought of by all the judges.
Congratulations to you again. I anticipate that you’ll create more wonderful paintings about China in your spare time.
Yours,

第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开。约翰喜欢画画,但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画,但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天,他得知镇上要举行绘画比赛,他很高兴,但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天一早,约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知,第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。
②由第二段首句内容“一周后,一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知,第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动,妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言,最后升华文章的主旨:坚持会有回报。
2.续写线索:买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报
One possible version:
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hurriedly, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the competition. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him(现在分词作状语). When finishing his task(省略结构), he went home, with birds singing (with复合结构)for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry(让步状语从句). It seemed that the time stopped(形式主语).
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said(现在分词作状语), his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it(现在分词作状语), because she knew it needed money(原因状语从句). As soon as John arrived home(时间状语从句), his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. After knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly(现在分词作状语), she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire(不定式作后置定语), but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work.Period Four Writing

Decades of research have shown that health, income and employment status are major factors in predicting people’s satisfaction with their lives. However, researchers at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK wanted to investigate what other activities or circumstances might improve mental health. “I was really drawn to looking into whether crafting might be good for your well-being because it’s so accessible, affordable and it’s already popular,” says Helen Keyes, a researcher at Anglia Ruskin University.Keyes and her colleagues analysed more than 7,000 responses to the yearly Taking Part Survey, which asks people in England how they engage with activities such as arts and culture, sports and Internet use. All participants were also asked about their happiness, anxiety, loneliness, life satisfaction and if they felt their life was worthwhile.
More than a third of participants said they had done at least one art or craft activity in the previous year, including drawing, painting, photography, film-making or woodworking. Even after accounting for factors like health and employment status, researchers found that engaging in arts and crafts was associated with higher scores across their measures of mental health. The effect was modest—around 0.2 on a 10-point scale—but crafting was a stronger predictor that someone felt their life was worthwhile compared with harder-to-change factors such as having a job.
“There is something about crafting that gives a sense of progress and self-expression in a way that employment often doesn’t,” says Keyes. “You get to be really proud of what you’re creating and see progress in front of your eyes in real time.” The positive effect of creative pursuits on a person’s sense that life is worthwhile was 1.6 times higher than employment status. Arts and crafts also boosted happiness and life satisfaction, but didn’t make a meaningful difference to reported loneliness, which may be because many crafts can be done solo.
“Promoting and supporting arts and crafts could be used as a preventive measure for mental health on a national scale,” says Keyes. “When people do it, they enjoy it. It’s an easy win.”
( )1.What can we learn from the survey

Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. Artists used to focus on ideal forms of beauty. Genius was the “child of imitation”. Artists learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures.
But such classical ideals were challenged by “discoveries”. Lord Elgin tried to fix up the magnificent friezes (雕带) that once beautified the Parthenon, but restorers refused. When the marbles (大理石雕像) went on display in 1807, British visitors did not see the perfect Roman sculptures they were used to. Timeless “ideals” paled in comparison with the timeworn marbles, and artists began to feel “cut off” from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein.
The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century Giorgio Vasari, an Italian painter, advanced an influential story of artistic progress that reached its peak in the realism of Raphael and Michelangelo. But in the 19th century John Ruskin, a critic, called attention to the pre-Raphaelite movement when he argued that the real “Old Masters” were actually Middle Ages Christian painters. Walter Pater, an English critic, later upgraded the individual interpretation of art as the most important criterion of judgement, planting the seeds for the aesthetic (审美) relativism that still dominates.
Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the “status of a classic” depends on critics, and is proof to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Taste evolves, and it should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or wokeness. It is silence.
( )5.What do the underlined words “written in water” mean
A.The way of writing a classic is special.
B.The appreciation of classics is constant.
C.The “timeless classic” changes over time.
D.The art classics are hard to understand.
( )6.Why does the author mention the “marbles” on display in Paragraph 3
A.To highlight Lord Elgin’s restoration efforts.
B.To show the popularity of Roman sculptures.
C.To argue for the preservation of ancient art.
D.To demonstrate the change of classical tradition.
( )7.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The rise of modern art.
B.The development of artistic preferences.
C.The techniques of old masters.
D.The transformation of creative methods.
( )8.What has a significant influence on aesthetic relativism
A.Realistic style.
B.Ancient Christian art.
C.Art critics’ views.
D.Historical narratives.

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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its centre was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breathtaking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mum after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colours would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colours for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mum returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
Paragraph 2:
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.

scale—but crafting was a stronger predictor that someone felt
their life was worthwhile compared with harder-to-change
factors such as having a job.”以及最后一段“‘Promoting and
supporting arts and crafts could be used as a preventive
measure for mental health on a national scale,’ says Keyes.
‘When people do it, they enjoy it. It's an easy win.’”可知，文章
主要探讨了手工艺活动如何提升人们的幸福感和生活满意度，特别
是在与就业状态的比较中。所以“艺术和手工艺比就业更能提升幸福
感”适合用作本文的标题。故选A。

Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious
appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle
Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic”
is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was
actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing
tastes; art itself has changed. Artists used to focus on ideal
forms of beauty. Genius was the “child of imitation”. Artists

learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often
Roman copies of Greek sculptures.
But such classical ideals were challenged by “discoveries”.
Lord Elgin tried to fix up the magnificent friezes (雕带) that
once beautified the Parthenon, but restorers refused. When the
marbles (大理石雕像) went on display in 1807, British visitors did
not see the perfect Roman sculptures they were used to.
Timeless “ideals” paled in comparison with the timeworn marbles,
and artists began to feel “cut off” from the classical tradition,
writes Ms Gurstein.

The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the
16th century Giorgio Vasari, an Italian painter, advanced an
influential story of artistic progress that reached its peak in the
realism of Raphael and Michelangelo. But in the 19th century
John Ruskin, a critic, called attention to the pre-Raphaelite
movement when he argued that the real “Old Masters” were
actually Middle Ages Christian painters. Walter Pater, an English
critic, later upgraded the individual interpretation of art as the
most important criterion of judgement, planting the seeds for
the aesthetic (审美) relativism that still dominates.

Ms Gurstein's narrative shows that the “status of a classic”
depends on critics, and is proof to the power of passionate
writers to change the way people look at art. Taste evolves, and
it should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue
to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy
of the classic is not relativism or wokeness. It is silence.

[解析] 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Classics of art are supposed to
carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the
ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book,
the ‘timeless classic’ is anything but.”可知，timeless classic并不是
一直有吸引力、保持不变的；结合下文“Classics come and go.”可
知，经典作品随着时间的变化也是来来去去、不断改变的，故“What
I believed was written in stone was actually written in water…”中
的written in water是指这些永恒的经典作品实际上是随着时间的推
移而改变的。故选C。

in Paragraph 3

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
［2025·河南驻马店高二期中］
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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother.
John's only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque
forest. In its centre was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish
dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were
playing around and cute birds were singing in trees.
Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to
become a great artist and present all the breathtaking scenes to
the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy
for John and his mum after his father died. Knowing what hard
work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn't want
his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of
education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an
artist. “The profession of artist can't aid a person in meeting his
daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John's
dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new
colours would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file
and limited colours for his daily practice. Though lacking fine
painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a
significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly
perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct
gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a
competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only
two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his
desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the
competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He
didn't have the courage to ask his mother for money as he
knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mum returned from work and handed him
a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next
month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John's
face lit up.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the
money._______________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
A week later, a phone call came to John's home.____________
One possible version:
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the
money. Hurriedly, he bought paper and pens for painting, and
then dashed to the competition. After signing up for it, he was
given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his
work, forgetting everything around him(现在分词作状语). When
finishing his task(省略结构), he went home, with birds singing
(with复合结构)for him. Every day, he looked forward to the
result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry(让步状语从
句). It seemed that the time stopped(形式主语).
A week later, a phone call came to John's home. Hearing
what the man said(现在分词作状语), his mother felt puzzled,
not knowing how his son had done it(现在分词作状语),
because she knew it needed money(原因状语从句). As soon
as John arrived home(时间状语从句), his mother told him the
news, and waited for his explanation. After knowing the truth,
her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly
(现在分词作状语), she apologized to him. But he was happy, not
only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his
desire(不定式作后置定语), but also he was awarded a lot of
money because of his work.
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开。约翰喜欢画画，但是家里很
穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画，但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天，
他得知镇上要举行绘画比赛，他很高兴，但是却没有钱买绘画用品。
恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“第二天一早，约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可
知，第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。
②由第二段首句内容“一周后，一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知，第
二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动，妈妈知道真
相时的表情、动作和语言，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持会有回报。
2.续写线索：买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报
