The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC is home to 4,000 European and American paintings, 3,000 sculptures, 31,000 drawings, 70,000 prints, 12,000 photographs, and much more. Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are.
The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20)
Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million.
The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39)
Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage.
Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48)
Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression.
Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80)
Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow.

Most of the wild swans (天鹅) on the Thames River are owned by the King or Queen of England, and there’s a tradition to count them every summer. Known as Swan Upping, the five-day event has been around since the 12th century and takes place in the third week of July. This year it started on the 14th.
While the King or Queen of England owns most of the swans, two trade associations also have the rights to them: the Vintners and the Dyers. Traditionally, the practice of Swan Upping was to divide the swans among these three owners since they were a delicacy reserved for the tables of the wealthy. Today, however, no one eats them and the practice is more about caring for them. For five days, the swan uppers count and check on the health of the swans, which allows them to identify potential threats.
The swan uppers representing the King or Queen, the Vintners and the Dyers go along the Thames River in traditional flat-bottomed boats. Each of the groups wears a different traditional uniform—with the Vintners in black and white, the Dyers in dark blue, and the King or Queen’s swan uppers in red.
When the swan uppers come across a family of swans, someone shouts, “All up,” and the crew surround the birds. After their feet or wings are tied, they are moved onto the riverbank to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of illness or injury, often caused by fishing hooks and lines. Then the Dyers and the Vintners attach a ring to their legs. The King or Queen’s swans remain unmarked. The whole process, as long as there’s no serious injury on the swans, takes about 20 minutes.
In recent years, the numbers of baby swans have been declining. In 2023, the number of baby swans weighed, measured and given a health check between Sunbury and Abingdon Bridge was 94 compared to 155 in 2022. This downturn in numbers was due to the outbreak of Avian Influenza in Autumn/Winter 2022 that caused the deaths of many thousands of swans throughout the country, and many hundreds on the Thames River. Now, the swan uppers are sure that the baby swans are in very good condition.
4. What will the swan uppers do nowadays during the event
A. Hunt the swans for fun.
B. Cook some swans for the owners.
C. Give the swans a check-up.
D. Put a mark on the King or Queen’s swans.
5. Who are the representatives of the Dyers
A. Those in dark blue. B. Those in red.
C. Those in black and white. D. Those in black.
6. What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. The history of the event. B. The purpose of the practice.
C. The threat to the swans. D. The process of Swan Upping.
7. How do the swan uppers probably feel about the baby swans now
A. Sad. B. Relieved. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
C
The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures Why or why not
These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers).
In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%.
These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future.
8 What does the author mean by “delving into” in paragraph 1
A. Exploring. B. Recommending. C. Forgetting. D. Confusing.
9. What are the statistics in the text mainly about
A. People can’t learn from their failures.
B. Failures’ benefits might be overestimated.
C. It is very painful for us to face our failures.
D. Some people can learn more from their failures.
10. Why do most of us fail to learn from our failures
A. Very little help is available for us.
B. We are unaware of the problems.
C. The consequences are not serious.
D. It is hard to change our behavior.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce a rare phenomenon. B. To review a recent study.
C. To argue against a typical opinion. D. To show human weakness.
D
Sleep experts have noticed that the so-called orthosomnia phenomenon is on the rise alongside the popularity of sleep trackers. “In recent years, more and more people came to me with sleep-tracking devices,” said Kelly Baron, a psychologist who created the term in 2017. “They believed the devices more than their doctors or even their own sense of how they had slept.”
After reviewing a series of cases, Kelly Baron concluded that most of the people hadn’t realized that the sleep trackers were not medical devices. “Sleep cannot be measured unless you have electrodes (电极) attached to your head,” she explained. “The sleep trackers that are worn on the wrist or finger typically rely on body temperature, body movement or heartbeat to guess the brain’s activity during sleep.”
She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety. “People who have orthosomnia usually feel too concerned about achieving certain sleep stages such as deep sleep, REM sleep or sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep). All these measurements are included on the sleep trackers,” she warned.
“As a result, they may end up lying awake longer at night.”
“Rather than paying too much attention to the data of your sleep, it’s better to ask yourself whether you want to sleep longer or wake up feeling better rested,” Baron said. “Then, you can use the data you get from a sleep tracker to adjust your behavior — including your eating, drinking, and stress-management habits — to try to set yourself up for a better night’s sleep. Self-monitoring and goal-setting are cornerstones of any sort of behavior change.”
But she stressed that there’s no need to check the data every day. Instead, it’s better to look for trends (趋势) or big changes once a week. If, despite taking these steps, you still find yourself feeling anxious about your sleep, it may be time to throw the sleep tracker away.
“For some people, paying too much attention to the data backfires,” Baron said. “How you sleep really should be about how you feel.”
12. What can we learn about orthosomnia
A. It is related to an unhealthy lifestyle.
B. It is caused by anxiety about sleep data.
C. It is a true and serious sleep problem.
D. It is ignored by doctors and researchers.
13. What does Kelly Baron say about the sleep trackers
A. They can be used for goal-setting.
B. They can monitor our sleep reliably.
C. They might be greatly improved.
D. They should not be sold at the market.
14. Which statement will Kelly Baron probably agree with
A. Sleep cannot be measured.
B. Self-monitoring is unnecessary.
C. Sleep quality is determined by REM sleep.
D. It is harmful to be too worried about sleep data.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How Can We Get Some Really Nice Sleep
B. It’s Time to Throw Away the Sleep Trackers!
C. Your Sleep Tracker May Be Keeping You Awake!
D. Can We Find a Better Way to Cure Orthosomnia

Since Lena entered high school, the diary had become her only trusted friend. She told it everything that had happened at home or in school: the hurtful moments with her mother, the occasional unfair treatments received from her teachers and the bittersweet relationships with her classmates.
One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home, heartbroken, and went to look for her diary under the pillow. When she found it missing from its usual spot, panic set in.
“Did Mom take it ” she thought.
She stormed into her mother’s bedroom and found her reading the diary. Even worse, she saw a half-finished love poem on the bedside table. It was a present Lena prepared for her classmate!
“What are you doing on earth ” Lena yelled. “This is my privacy!”
“Calm down, sweetheart!” Mom said, trying to draw her close. “The roof leaked this afternoon. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your diary under the wet pillow. I couldn’t help reading it while I was drying it.”
“Give it back to me, now!” Lena demanded. “I hate you! I’ll never forgive you!”
Mom returned the diary and apologized, “I just want to check and keep you safe!”
“Keep me safe ” Lena cut in. “You just want to control me!”
Lena grabbed the diary and ran back to her own room. Sitting in the darkness, Lena felt her heart sinking. She was very upset that her deepest secrets—especially her complaints about Mom—had been exposed.
However, when she opened the diary, she found something strange. On the page where she wrote “I hate you!”, she found a familiar handwriting: “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. —Mom” Curiously, Lena read through the diary and saw that every negative entry was accompanied by a note: encouragement after exam failures, comfort during moments of loneliness and apologies for misunderstandings.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As she read on, Lena felt her chest filled with something warm.

Most of the wild swans (天鹅) on the Thames River are owned by the King or Queen of England, and there’s a tradition to count them every summer. Known as Swan Upping, the five-day event has been around since the 12th century and takes place in the third week of July. This year it started on the 14th.
While the King or Queen of England owns most of the swans, two trade associations also have the rights to them: the Vintners and the Dyers. Traditionally, the practice of Swan Upping was to divide the swans among these three owners since they were a delicacy reserved for the tables of the wealthy. Today, however, no one eats them and the practice is more about caring for them. For five days, the swan uppers count and check on the health of the swans, which allows them to identify potential threats.
The swan uppers representing the King or Queen, the Vintners and the Dyers go along the Thames River in traditional flat-bottomed boats. Each of the groups wears a different traditional uniform—with the Vintners in black and white, the Dyers in dark blue, and the King or Queen’s swan uppers in red.
When the swan uppers come across a family of swans, someone shouts, “All up,” and the crew surround the birds. After their feet or wings are tied, they are moved onto the riverbank to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of illness or injury, often caused by fishing hooks and lines. Then the Dyers and the Vintners attach a ring to their legs. The King or Queen’s swans remain unmarked. The whole process, as long as there’s no serious injury on the swans, takes about 20 minutes.
In recent years, the numbers of baby swans have been declining. In 2023, the number of baby swans weighed, measured and given a health check between Sunbury and Abingdon Bridge was 94 compared to 155 in 2022. This downturn in numbers was due to the outbreak of Avian Influenza in Autumn/Winter 2022 that caused the deaths of many thousands of swans throughout the country, and many hundreds on the Thames River. Now, the swan uppers are sure that the baby swans are in very good condition.
4. What will the swan uppers do nowadays during the event
A. Hunt the swans for fun.
B. Cook some swans for the owners.
C. Give the swans a check-up.
D. Put a mark on the King or Queen’s swans.
5. Who are the representatives of the Dyers
A. Those in dark blue. B. Those in red.
C. Those in black and white. D. Those in black.
6. What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. The history of the event. B. The purpose of the practice.
C. The threat to the swans. D. The process of Swan Upping.
7. How do the swan uppers probably feel about the baby swans now
A. Sad. B. Relieved. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.

The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures Why or why not
These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers).
In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%.
These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future.

A. Very little help is available for us.
B. We are unaware of the problems.
C. The consequences are not serious.

Sleep experts have noticed that the so-called orthosomnia phenomenon is on the rise alongside the popularity of sleep trackers. “In recent years, more and more people came to me with sleep-tracking devices,” said Kelly Baron, a psychologist who created the term in 2017. “They believed the devices more than their doctors or even their own sense of how they had slept.”
After reviewing a series of cases, Kelly Baron concluded that most of the people hadn’t realized that the sleep trackers were not medical devices. “Sleep cannot be measured unless you have electrodes (电极) attached to your head,” she explained. “The sleep trackers that are worn on the wrist or finger typically rely on body temperature, body movement or heartbeat to guess the brain’s activity during sleep.”
She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety. “People who have orthosomnia usually feel too concerned about achieving certain sleep stages such as deep sleep, REM sleep or sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep). All these measurements are included on the sleep trackers,” she warned.
“As a result, they may end up lying awake longer at night.”
“Rather than paying too much attention to the data of your sleep, it’s better to ask yourself whether you want to sleep longer or wake up feeling better rested,” Baron said. “Then, you can use the data you get from a sleep tracker to adjust your behavior — including your eating, drinking, and stress-management habits — to try to set yourself up for a better night’s sleep. Self-monitoring and goal-setting are cornerstones of any sort of behavior change.”
But she stressed that there’s no need to check the data every day. Instead, it’s better to look for trends (趋势) or big changes once a week. If, despite taking these steps, you still find yourself feeling anxious about your sleep, it may be time to throw the sleep tracker away.
“For some people, paying too much attention to the data backfires,” Baron said. “How you sleep really should be about how you feel.”
12. What can we learn about orthosomnia
A. It is related to an unhealthy lifestyle.
B. It is caused by anxiety about sleep data.
C. It is a true and serious sleep problem.
D. It is ignored by doctors and researchers.
13. What does Kelly Baron say about the sleep trackers
A. They can be used for goal-setting.
B. They can monitor our sleep reliably.
C. They might be greatly improved.
D. They should not be sold at the market.
14. Which statement will Kelly Baron probably agree with
A. Sleep cannot be measured.
B. Self-monitoring is unnecessary.
C. Sleep quality is determined by REM sleep.
D. It is harmful to be too worried about sleep data.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How Can We Get Some Really Nice Sleep
B. It’s Time to Throw Away the Sleep Trackers!
C. Your Sleep Tracker May Be Keeping You Awake!
D. Can We Find a Better Way to Cure Orthosomnia

【答案】范文
Good morning, everyone!
I don’t agree with changing the smoking image of Mr. Lu Xun.
First, this detail is part of his real historical figure. Lu Xun lived in a time when smoking was common among intellectuals, and altering this image would water down the authenticity of history — we should remember him as he truly was. Second, the core value of remembering Lu Xun lies in his spirit of awakening the public and fighting for justice, not his personal habits. Instead of changing the image, schools can use it as a teaching moment: explain that smoking is harmful now, and guide teens to tell right from wrong, which helps them develop critical thinking.
Thank you for your listening!

47. 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。
Since Lena entered high school, the diary had become her only trusted friend. She told it everything that had happened at home or in school: the hurtful moments with her mother, the occasional unfair treatments received from her teachers and the bittersweet relationships with her classmates.
One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home, heartbroken, and went to look for her diary under the pillow. When she found it missing from its usual spot, panic set in.
“Did Mom take it ” she thought.
She stormed into her mother’s bedroom and found her reading the diary. Even worse, she saw a half-finished love poem on the bedside table. It was a present Lena prepared for her classmate!
“What are you doing on earth ” Lena yelled. “This is my privacy!”
“Calm down, sweetheart!” Mom said, trying to draw her close. “The roof leaked this afternoon. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your diary under the wet pillow. I couldn’t help reading it while I was drying it.”
“Give it back to me, now!” Lena demanded. “I hate you! I’ll never forgive you!”
Mom returned the diary and apologized, “I just want to check and keep you safe!”
“Keep me safe ” Lena cut in. “You just want to control me!”
Lena grabbed the diary and ran back to her own room. Sitting in the darkness, Lena felt her heart sinking. She was very upset that her deepest secrets—especially her complaints about Mom—had been exposed.
However, when she opened the diary, she found something strange. On the page where she wrote “I hate you!”, she found a familiar handwriting: “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. —Mom” Curiously, Lena read through the diary and saw that every negative entry was accompanied by a note: encouragement after exam failures, comfort during moments of loneliness and apologies for misunderstandings.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As she read on, Lena felt her chest filled with something warm.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Lena turned to leave, she was held tightly by her mother.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 As she read on, Lena felt her chest filled with something warm. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized the depth of her mother’s love. All those times she thought her mother was trying to control her, Mom was actually expressing her care in her own way. Lena couldn’t help but feel ashamed of her outburst. She decided to go to her mother and make amends. Lena walked slowly to her mother’s room. Standing at the door, she took a deep breath and knocked gently. Mom opened the door, her eyes showing a mix of surprise and hope. “Mom,” Lena said softly, “I’m sorry for what I said. I was wrong.”
As Lena turned to leave, she was held tightly by her mother. “Sweetheart, I’m the one who should apologize,” Mom said with a choked voice. “I should have respected your privacy.” They hugged each other tightly, the love between them shining through the tears. From that day on, Lena understood that love can be found in the most unexpected places, even in the notes hidden within her diary.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC is home to 4,000 European and American paintings, 3,000 sculptures, 31,000 drawings, 70,000 prints, 12,000 photographs, and much more. Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are.
The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20)
Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million.
The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39)
Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage.
Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48)
Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression.
Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80)
Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow.
1. When did Andrew Mellon get Raffaello Santi’s painting
A. In 1510. B. In 1659. C. In 1905. D. In 1930.
2. Which painting is exhibited in Gallery 39

Sleep experts have noticed that the so-called orthosomnia phenomenon is on the rise alongside the popularity of sleep trackers. “In recent years, more and more people came to me with sleep-tracking devices,” said Kelly Baron, a psychologist who created the term in 2017. “They believed the devices more than their doctors or even their own sense of how they had slept.”
After reviewing a series of cases, Kelly Baron concluded that most of the people hadn’t realized that the sleep trackers were not medical devices. “Sleep cannot be measured unless you have electrodes (电极) attached to your head,” she explained. “The sleep trackers that are worn on the wrist or finger typically rely on body temperature, body movement or heartbeat to guess the brain’s activity during sleep.”
She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety. “People who have orthosomnia usually feel too concerned about achieving certain sleep stages such as deep sleep, REM sleep or sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep). All these measurements are included on the sleep trackers,” she warned.
“As a result, they may end up lying awake longer at night.”
“Rather than paying too much attention to the data of your sleep, it’s better to ask yourself whether you want to sleep longer or wake up feeling better rested,” Baron said. “Then, you can use the data you get from a sleep tracker to adjust your behavior — including your eating, drinking, and stress-management habits — to try to set yourself up for a better night’s sleep. Self-monitoring and goal-setting are cornerstones of any sort of behavior change.”
But she stressed that there’s no need to check the data every day. Instead, it’s better to look for trends (趋势) or big changes once a week. If, despite taking these steps, you still find yourself feeling anxious about your sleep, it may be time to throw the sleep tracker away.
“For some people, paying too much attention to the data backfires,” Baron said. “How you sleep really should be about how you feel.”
12. What can we learn about orthosomnia
A. It is related to an unhealthy lifestyle.
B. It is caused by anxiety about sleep data.
C. It is a true and serious sleep problem.
D. It is ignored by doctors and researchers.
13. What does Kelly Baron say about the sleep trackers
A. They can be used for goal-setting.
B. They can monitor our sleep reliably.
C. They might be greatly improved.
D. They should not be sold at the market.

B. Self-monitoring is unnecessary.
C. Sleep quality is determined by REM sleep.
D. It is harmful to be too worried about sleep data.

47. 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。
Since Lena entered high school, the diary had become her only trusted friend. She told it everything that had happened at home or in school: the hurtful moments with her mother, the occasional unfair treatments received from her teachers and the bittersweet relationships with her classmates.
One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home, heartbroken, and went to look for her diary under the pillow. When she found it missing from its usual spot, panic set in.
“Did Mom take it ” she thought.
She stormed into her mother’s bedroom and found her reading the diary. Even worse, she saw a half-finished love poem on the bedside table. It was a present Lena prepared for her classmate!
“What are you doing on earth ” Lena yelled. “This is my privacy!”
“Calm down, sweetheart!” Mom said, trying to draw her close. “The roof leaked this afternoon. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your diary under the wet pillow. I couldn’t help reading it while I was drying it.”
“Give it back to me, now!” Lena demanded. “I hate you! I’ll never forgive you!”
Mom returned the diary and apologized, “I just want to check and keep you safe!”
“Keep me safe ” Lena cut in. “You just want to control me!”
Lena grabbed the diary and ran back to her own room. Sitting in the darkness, Lena felt her heart sinking. She was very upset that her deepest secrets—especially her complaints about Mom—had been exposed.
However, when she opened the diary, she found something strange. On the page where she wrote “I hate you!”, she found a familiar handwriting: “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. —Mom” Curiously, Lena read through the diary and saw that every negative entry was accompanied by a note: encouragement after exam failures, comfort during moments of loneliness and apologies for misunderstandings.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As she read on, Lena felt her chest filled with something warm.

A
The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC is home to 4,000 European and American paintings, 3,000 sculptures, 31,000 drawings, 70,000 prints, 12,000 photographs, and much more. Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are.
The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20)
Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million.
The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39)
Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage.
Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48)
Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression.
Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80)
Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow.
1. When did Andrew Mellon get Raffaello Santi’s painting
A. In 1510. B. In 1659. C. In 1905. D. In 1930.
2. Which painting is exhibited in Gallery 39
A. Self-Portrait. B. The Annunciation.
C. The Alba Madonna. D. Family of Saltimbanques.
3. What do the last two paintings have in common

C. They are painted by the same artist.
D. They are finished late in the artist's career.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. B

Most of the wild swans (天鹅) on the Thames River are owned by the King or Queen of England, and there’s a tradition to count them every summer. Known as Swan Upping, the five-day event has been around since the 12th century and takes place in the third week of July. This year it started on the 14th.
While the King or Queen of England owns most of the swans, two trade associations also have the rights to them: the Vintners and the Dyers. Traditionally, the practice of Swan Upping was to divide the swans among these three owners since they were a delicacy reserved for the tables of the wealthy. Today, however, no one eats them and the practice is more about caring for them. For five days, the swan uppers count and check on the health of the swans, which allows them to identify potential threats.
The swan uppers representing the King or Queen, the Vintners and the Dyers go along the Thames River in traditional flat-bottomed boats. Each of the groups wears a different traditional uniform—with the Vintners in black and white, the Dyers in dark blue, and the King or Queen’s swan uppers in red.
When the swan uppers come across a family of swans, someone shouts, “All up,” and the crew surround the birds. After their feet or wings are tied, they are moved onto the riverbank to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of illness or injury, often caused by fishing hooks and lines. Then the Dyers and the Vintners attach a ring to their legs. The King or Queen’s swans remain unmarked. The whole process, as long as there’s no serious injury on the swans, takes about 20 minutes.
In recent years, the numbers of baby swans have been declining. In 2023, the number of baby swans weighed, measured and given a health check between Sunbury and Abingdon Bridge was 94 compared to 155 in 2022. This downturn in numbers was due to the outbreak of Avian Influenza in Autumn/Winter 2022 that caused the deaths of many thousands of swans throughout the country, and many hundreds on the Thames River. Now, the swan uppers are sure that the baby swans are in very good condition.
4. What will the swan uppers do nowadays during the event
A. Hunt the swans for fun.
B. Cook some swans for the owners.
C. Give the swans a check-up.
D. Put a mark on the King or Queen’s swans.
5. Who are the representatives of the Dyers
A. Those in dark blue. B. Those in red.
C. Those in black and white. D. Those in black.
6. What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. The history of the event. B. The purpose of the practice.
C. The threat to the swans. D. The process of Swan Upping.
7. How do the swan uppers probably feel about the baby swans now
A. Sad. B. Relieved. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
C
The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures Why or why not
These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers).
In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%.
These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future.
8 What does the author mean by “delving into” in paragraph 1
A. Exploring. B. Recommending. C. Forgetting. D. Confusing.
9. What are the statistics in the text mainly about
A. People can’t learn from their failures.
B. Failures’ benefits might be overestimated.
C. It is very painful for us to face our failures.
D. Some people can learn more from their failures.
10. Why do most of us fail to learn from our failures
A. Very little help is available for us.
B. We are unaware of the problems.
C. The consequences are not serious.
D. It is hard to change our behavior.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce a rare phenomenon. B. To review a recent study.
C. To argue against a typical opinion. D. To show human weakness.

【答案】范文
Good morning, everyone!
I don’t agree with changing the smoking image of Mr. Lu Xun.
First, this detail is part of his real historical figure. Lu Xun lived in a time when smoking was common among intellectuals, and altering this image would water down the authenticity of history — we should remember him as he truly was. Second, the core value of remembering Lu Xun lies in his spirit of awakening the public and fighting for justice, not his personal habits. Instead of changing the image, schools can use it as a teaching moment: explain that smoking is harmful now, and guide teens to tell right from wrong, which helps them develop critical thinking.
Thank you for your listening!

47. 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。
Since Lena entered high school, the diary had become her only trusted friend. She told it everything that had happened at home or in school: the hurtful moments with her mother, the occasional unfair treatments received from her teachers and the bittersweet relationships with her classmates.
One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home, heartbroken, and went to look for her diary under the pillow. When she found it missing from its usual spot, panic set in.
“Did Mom take it ” she thought.
She stormed into her mother’s bedroom and found her reading the diary. Even worse, she saw a half-finished love poem on the bedside table. It was a present Lena prepared for her classmate!
“What are you doing on earth ” Lena yelled. “This is my privacy!”
“Calm down, sweetheart!” Mom said, trying to draw her close. “The roof leaked this afternoon. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your diary under the wet pillow. I couldn’t help reading it while I was drying it.”
“Give it back to me, now!” Lena demanded. “I hate you! I’ll never forgive you!”
Mom returned the diary and apologized, “I just want to check and keep you safe!”
“Keep me safe ” Lena cut in. “You just want to control me!”
Lena grabbed the diary and ran back to her own room. Sitting in the darkness, Lena felt her heart sinking. She was very upset that her deepest secrets—especially her complaints about Mom—had been exposed.
However, when she opened the diary, she found something strange. On the page where she wrote “I hate you!”, she found a familiar handwriting: “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. —Mom” Curiously, Lena read through the diary and saw that every negative entry was accompanied by a note: encouragement after exam failures, comfort during moments of loneliness and apologies for misunderstandings.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 As she read on, Lena felt her chest filled with something warm. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized the depth of her mother’s love. All those times she thought her mother was trying to control her, Mom was actually expressing her care in her own way. Lena couldn’t help but feel ashamed of her outburst. She decided to go to her mother and make amends. Lena walked slowly to her mother’s room. Standing at the door, she took a deep breath and knocked gently. Mom opened the door, her eyes showing a mix of surprise and hope. “Mom,” Lena said softly, “I’m sorry for what I said. I was wrong.”
As Lena turned to leave, she was held tightly by her mother. “Sweetheart, I’m the one who should apologize,” Mom said with a choked voice. “I should have respected your privacy.” They hugged each other tightly, the love between them shining through the tears. From that day on, Lena understood that love can be found in the most unexpected places, even in the notes hidden within her diary.
