A
　　Artist Tom Campbell has exhibited his work at Outlaw Studios at Marina Commercial Park. The exhibition is Tom's largest one to date and includes affordable art. The interactive show is made up of drawings, paintings, sculptures and live performances. Throughout the exhibition, Tom is working, giving the public an opportunity to watch inside his studio and have their portraits drawn. People can also commission a piece of their choosing.
Wall painting is part of Tom's output. He has created a wall painting for Electric Picnic, along with four other artists invited to take part in this commission. His wall painting has a special theme, portrayed by doves (鸽子). As well as his anti-war standpoint, he is doing something meaningful. Tom is a founding member of a tree planting project called Trees Please. The group has distributed 10,000 trees in about four years across Ireland.
Humour is also important for Tom in his art. He can treat heavy subjects with irony, often employing an aggressive combination of lively colors and animals with wistful expressions, communicating the importance of respect, peace, understanding and love. He has done creative work for mental health charities.
Tom was born with a love for art. He enjoys playing musical instruments in public, like the violin. He gets lots of smiles from people. He also sings and has an online channel featuring his songs, which are very improvised (即兴的). All this creativity is a lifeline for him, who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury.

　　French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Ernaux was given the award for the courage and amazing insight of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 84-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974), Shame (1997) and A Girl's Story (2016).
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Ernaux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家) of herself” to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and café. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl's Story follows a young woman's coming of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in a plain language. Ernaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stories objectively. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions,” noted Fox News.
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiences as an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”
5.What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text
A.She is a full-time writer all her life.
B.She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.
C.The Nobel Committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.
D.She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.
6.Where did Ernaux get inspiration for her works
A.Her students' lives.　　　　B.Her personal experiences.
C.The history of her hometown.　　　　D.The stories of guests in her café.
7.Which of the following best describes Ernaux's writing style
A.Plain and relaxing.　　　　
B.Descriptive and serious.
C.Emotional and touching.　　　　
D.Objective and easy to understand.
8.Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers according to Anders Olsson
A.She suffered a lot of hardships.
B.Her works are short and moving.
C.Her works are about unexplored subjects.
D.She shares painful feelings through her writing.
Ⅱ　七选五
　　Humanities departments (人文院系) in America are once again being cut down. Earlier this month, the State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook announced a plan to abandon several of the college's well-known departments for lack of fund. The University of Pittsburgh has cut its German and Classics. 1.　　　 In the UK, Middlesex University decided to gradually get rid of philosophy department. In June 2015, the Japanese minister of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology sent a letter to the presidents of the national universities of Japan, suggesting they close their graduate and undergraduate departments in the humanities and social sciences and focus on something more practical.
These are hard times. Instead of Shakespeare or French, there will be (perhaps there already are) college classes in how to cut corporate spending. 2.　　　 But the only opportunity has been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages, the classics, literature, philosophy, music, theater and art in the university. When else in their busy lives will they get that chance
3.　　　 Essays explain why we need these subjects, and what their loss will mean. These areas of learning provide us with the ability to think critically and independently; to see both sides of an issue;to look beneath the surface of what we are being told; to appreciate the ways in which language can help us understand one another more clearly.
I don't believe that the humanities can make you a decent person. 4.　　　 Studying philosophy teaches us about those who have gone before us. A foreign language brings us closer to those with whom we share the planet. The humanities touch those aspects of awareness that we call intellect and heart. 5.　　　
A.These subjects are under attack.
B.Students need practical skills to find jobs.
C.Defenses of the humanities have appeared.
D.This problem has also arisen internationally.
E.Therefore, courses in the humanities are beneficial.
F.It helps us learn how to think and live in a harmonious society.
G.But they can expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了汤姆对艺术的热爱与执着。
1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The exhibition is Tom's largest one to date and includes affordable art. The interactive show is made up of drawings, paintings, sculptures and live performances.(这次展览是汤姆迄今为止最大的一次展览,其中包括价格合理的艺术品。互动展示由素描、油画、雕塑和现场表演组成。)”可知,汤姆的展览有各种各样的形式。故选B。take on为固定短语,意为“呈现”;a variety of为固定搭配,意为“各种各样的”。A.它面向的是富人;C.它提供一种可实际操作的绘画体验;D.它是艺术史上最大的一次展览。be targeted at为固定搭配,意为“面向,针对”;hands-on是合成形容词,意为“动手的;实际操作的”。
2.D　主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“His wall painting has a special theme, portrayed by doves. As well as his anti-war standpoint, he is doing something meaningful. Tom is a founding member of a tree planting project called Trees Please. The group has distributed 10,000 trees in about four years across Ireland.(他的壁画有一个特别的主题:画的是鸽子。除了他的反战立场,他还在做一些有意义的事情。汤姆是一个被称为‘请植树’的植树项目的创始成员。该组织在大约四年的时间里在爱尔兰各地种植了一万棵树。)”可知,汤姆反对战争,为保护环境积极做贡献。由此可知,第二段主要告诉我们汤姆对和平和环境的热爱。故选D。
3.A　推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“Tom's improvised songs”可定位到文章第四段。根据第四段中的“He also sings and has an online channel featuring his songs, which are very improvised. All this creativity is a lifeline for him, who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury.(他还唱歌,并且有一个在线频道专门播放他非常即兴创作的歌曲。所有这些创意都是他的生命线,他认为艺术是必需品而不是奢侈品。)”并结合选项可知,A项(他有创作天赋)与文章内容最相符。此题可采用排除法:B项(艺术是奢侈品)与文中的表述“who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury”不符;C项(艺术无边界)与此部分内容无关;D项(他很受公众欢迎)没有提到。故选A。
4.D　推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文讲述了汤姆对艺术的热爱和关于他的艺术事业的一些情况。由此可知,本文介绍的是一位艺术家,因此,可能来自杂志的“人物”栏目。故选D。
熟词生义
1.employ 熟义:v.雇用　生义:v.采用;运用
2.communicate 熟义:v.交流　生义:v.传达,传递(想法、感情、思想等)
B
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了2022年诺贝尔文学奖获得者——法国作家Annie Ernaux以及她的个人经历和写作特色。
5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the words of the Nobel Committee, Ernaux was given the award for the courage and amazing insight of her writing.(用诺贝尔委员会的话说,Ernaux因其写作的勇气和惊人的洞察力而获奖。)”可知,Annie Ernaux因在写作中展现出的勇气和观察力而获奖,故选D。
同义表达
　　D项中的bravery与第一段中的courage意思一致;D项中的observations与第一段中的insight(洞察力)所表达的内容一致。
6.B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood.(她的教养以及她应对青春期和成年期的经历在她的小说中占重要地位。)”可知,她的作品灵感来源于她的个人经历,故选B。
7.D　推理判断题。
根据题干中的关键词“Ernaux's writing style”定位到文章倒数第二段。
倒数第二段主要讲她的写作风格。根据“Though the matters...they are always written in a plain language.(虽然Ernaux在她的书中描述的事情是严肃的,有时甚至是沉重的,但它们总是用朴素的语言写的。)”和“Ernaux described her style as ‘flat writing’ through which she aims to tell her stories objectively. ‘Unshaped by florid description or overwhelming emotions,’ noted Fox News.(Ernaux将她的风格描述为‘平淡的写作’,她力求通过这种方式客观地讲述自己的故事。‘不受华丽的描述或压倒一切的情绪的影响’,福克斯新闻指出。)”可推知,Ernaux的文字客观易懂。故选D。
同义表达
　　D项中的objective与第五段中的“tell her stories objectively”为同义表达,D项中的“easy to understand”与第五段中的“written in a plain language”和“flat writing”为同义表达。
技巧点拨
　　本题的前三个选项各有一个符合题目要求的词,因此都具有迷惑性,这种情况我们需要采用排除法。A项中的relaxing与文中的“serious and even sometimes heavy”不符。B项中的Descriptive 和C项中的Emotional与文中的“Unshaped by florid description or overwhelming emotions”相冲突。故三者都可排除。
8.C　细节理解题。
根据题干中的关键词“according to Anders Olsson”可定位到最后一段。
根据最后一段中的“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiences as an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences”可知,Anders Olsson认为她写了别人没写过的东西,比如她的嫉妒、她作为被抛弃的爱人的经历等,这些都是非常艰难的经历。由此可知,Anders Olsson认为Annie Ernaux与其他作家的不同之处在于她的作品涉及未被探索的主题,故选C。
易错分析
　　本题易误选B。最后一段末尾提到“They are short books, but they are really moving.”,所以B项中的“short and moving”的确是Ernaux的作品的特色。但题干问的是与其他作家的不同之处,回答这一问题的只能是“She writes about things that no one else writes about”,“no one else”突出区别。误选B项的根本原因在于没有认真读题干,因而对本题意图领会不准确。
熟词生义

Ⅱ.七选五
语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了因为经费不足,美国的部分大学正准备削减人文类学科,且这个问题在国际上也出现了。
1.D　过渡句。根据空前内容可知由于缺乏资金,美国纽约州立大学石溪分校将放弃几个知名的人文院系;匹兹堡大学削减了德语和古典学课程。根据空后内容“在英国,米德尔塞克斯大学决定逐步取消哲学系”以及“日本文部科学大臣致信日本几个国立大学校长,建议他们关闭人文社科类的本科和研究生院系,专注于更实用的学科”可知,后文提到了英国和日本都有关闭人文社科类院系的举措。由此可知,削减人文学科这个现象在许多国家都出现了。分析选项可知D项“这个问题在国际上也出现了”承上启下,承接上文提到的问题,同时引出后文介绍的该问题在国际上的情况,符合语境。故选D。D项中的arisen是arise的过去分词,意为“发生;产生;出现;(由……)引起;(因……)产生”。
2.B　细节句。根据空前内容可知,大学将开设(或许已经开设)如何削减企业开支的课程,而不是有关莎士比亚或法语的课程,说明大学更加注重实用技能了。B项“学生需要实用技能来找工作”符合语境,且B项中的“practical skills”对应空前的“how to cut corporate spending”,故选B。
3.C　主旨句。根据空后“文章解释我们为什么需要这些学科以及它们的消失意味着什么。这些领域的学习为我们提供了批判性思考和独立思考的能力、看到一个问题的正反两面的能力、透过我们被告知的事情的表面看到本质的能力以及欣赏语言帮助我们更清楚地相互理解的方式的能力”可知,本段讲的是人文学科的好处和必要性。结合选项可知C项“对人文学科的辩护出现了”引出下文,能够概括本段主旨,符合语境。空后的“Essays explain why we need these subjects, and what their loss will mean.”对应C项中的Defenses。故选C。defense也可写作defence,意为“辩护;辩解;防御;保护;防御物;防守”。
易错分析
　　本题易错选F项。F项(它帮助我们学会如何思考和生活在一个和谐的社会)看起来也是在说人文学科的好处,但F项的主语是It,而本空位于句首,空前没有与It对应的内容,上文没提到的事物不能用代词指代,故排除F项。
4.G　过渡句。根据空前内容“我认为人文学科不是可以让你成为一个体面的人”以及空后内容“学习哲学可以教会我们了解前人;学习外语使我们更接近与我们共同生活在这个星球上的人;学习人文学科可以触及我们称之为智力和心灵的意识领域”可知,空前是人文学科的不足之处,空后是人文学科的优点。结合选项可知G项“但它们可以扩展我们对人类所能完成和创造的东西的认识”与上文构成转折,进一步说明作者对于人文学科的看法,同时引出后文对“人文学科如何扩展我们的认识”的介绍,说明虽然人文学科可能无法让我们过得体面,但它们可以开阔我们的眼界,扩大我们的认知范围,承上启下,符合语境。G项中的But是关键词,说明前后的逻辑关系;G项中的they指代前文中的the humanities;空后的三句是对G项中“they can expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create”的具体解释。故选G。
5.E　细节句。根据空前内容并结合选项可知,E项“因此,人文学科的课程是有益的”符合语境,与上文构成因果关系。故选E。beneficial 意为“有益处的”。
熟词生义
1.deny 熟义:v.否认,否定　生义:v.拒绝给予
2.bring 熟义:v.带来　生义:v.使处于某种状况
Ⅲ.完形填空
