（2024·福建四校高一下联考）If you think about modern art， Picasso is probably the first name that pops into your head.Art today wouldn’t be the same without him！
Pablo Picasso had a very long and interesting life.He lived through two world wars， the invention of electricity， telephones， radio and TVs， movies， automobiles， and airplanes.As the world changed， he was able to change with it.He worked hard every day for more than eighty years.Some people say he created 50，000 pieces of art！ Unlike many artists， Picasso was successful and became famous quite quickly.

In 1906， Picasso began to work on a portrait for Gertrude Stein.It was torture for Pablo because he just couldn’t get her face right.She sat for the portrait eight times！ It probably was torture for Gertrude， too！
Pablo gave up for the summer； in the fall， he painted her face from memory.It looked like a primitive mask.Pablo had been looking at African and primitive art in a museum， which explains why.He was never afraid to borrow ideas.
People didn’t think the painting looked like Gertrude at all， but she loved it.She said，“For me， it is I.”

A librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island is lending books to children in exchange for rubbish they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.Each weekday， Raden Roro Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with books stored up at the back for children in Muntang village in exchange for plastic cups， bags and other waste that she carries back.
She told Reuters she is helping develop reading habits of the kids as well as make them aware of the environment.As soon as she shows up， little children， many accompanied by their mothers， surround her “Rubbish Library” and ask for the books.They are all carrying rubbish bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out.She is happy that the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
Raden said，“Let us build a culture of literacy （读写能力） from young age to reduce the harm of the online world.We should also take care of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from rubbish.” She collects about 100 kilograms of waste each week， which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold.She has a stock of 6，000 books to lend.
Kevin Alamsyah， an eager 11-year-old reader， searches for waste lying in the village.“When there is too much rubbish， our environment will become dirty.That’s why I look for rubbish to borrow a book，” he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia has been around 96 percent， though a report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic would leave more than 80 percent of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level.
8.What does Raden bring to the children every time？（ ）
A.Cups. B.Bags.
C.Rubbish. D.Books.
9.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to？（ ）
A.The rubbish bags. B.The mothers.
C.The kids. D.The books.
10.Which of the following can best describe Raden？（ ）
A.Strict. B.Honest.
C.Helpful. D.Beautiful.
11.Why does Kevin borrow books from the “Rubbish Library”？（ ）
A.To make himself tidy.
B.To protect the environment.
C.To get along with Raden.
D.To improve his reading level.

What is the secret to the world’s most creative minds — the minds of resourceful inventors， innovative scientists and inspired artists？ Are they simply lucky to be born with the right genes？ Most studies suggest that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person’s genes.
So what are the requirements for creativity？ First of all， creativity takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance， but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form over a long period.In fact， many of history’s most creative people have a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King， Jr， reportedly wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech at ten o’clock the night before he delivered it， but it had gone through a long period of “preparation and incubation” in his mind before that.
In a surprising twist， creativity may also be sparked by suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists， and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old.
Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don’t seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds， some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children， creative people are often unable to sit still， unable to focus on their lessons， instead， always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention.
The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world’s most creative minds.
12.Martin Luther King’s speech is mentioned to show .（ ）
A.creative people magic up ideas
B.the creative process requires time
C.right genes contribute to creativity
D.the last-minute pressure brings breakthroughs
13.How does the author prove his point in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.By quoting sayings.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By providing examples.
D.By analyzing a phenomenon.
14.Which of the following signs do creative kids probably exhibit？（ ）
A.Lack of curiosity.
B.High activity level.
C.Distraction-free mode.
D.Good adaptation skills.
15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？（ ）
A.To reveal the secrets of brilliant inventions.
B.To present the sufferings of artistic geniuses.
C.To explore the characteristics of creative minds.
D.To introduce the achievements of innovative scientists.

（2024·石家庄高一下质检）Since ancient times， China has been a country of etiquette （礼仪）.There are many stories about etiquette which have been widely handed down.In the book New Tales Commonly Told there is the well-known story “Kong Rong Takes the Smallest Pear”.
Kong Rong was a descendant （后裔） of Confucius.16.（ ）.Together with six other literary figures， he was honoured as one of the “Seven Masters of Jian’an”.

When others heard it， they were very surprised that such a young child understood the ethics of yielding （让步） to others.His whole family realised that he was an exceptional person.18.（ ）， and later it was spread by word of mouth； it was even included in The Three Character Classic， in the words “Kong at Four Chose the Smallest Pear”.
19.（ ）.It is this heritage of countless numbers of children of China that has earned for China the fine name of “country of etiquette”.It is hoped that children today will cultivate fine manners so as to grow up to be well-mannered young people.
Etiquette is one of the Chinese people’s fine traditional virtues.20.（ ）.From their earliest years the children of China learn to understand and preserve etiquette， and it is by earnestly practicing it that the people have displayed a splendid moral character， promoting Chinese civilization through the ages.

C.China is well-known as a nation of etiquette
D.He displayed a fine sense of morality in every action
E.Kong Rong’s father wrote an account of this incident
F.He was a great literary figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔，证之以例
推测逻辑关系，提升听力水平
听与看、写相比，最大的不同在于它是转瞬即逝的。每个单词在耳边都是一闪而过的，如果没能立刻确定它的发音，就只能用尽各种方法去猜测了。当通过语音和语法都解决不了问题的时候，可以尝试根据上下文的逻辑关系推测。
一般来讲，语言是有逻辑性的，说话人在强调因果、对比和转折等关系的时候，都会使用一些逻辑词，例如“但是”“因为”“然而”等。英语也是一样的，我们在听听力的时候就会发现，往往答案出现在逻辑词之后。因此，我们需要有意识地去听逻辑词。常见的逻辑词有：
并列关系 and， or， as well as， not only ...but also ...， anything else， both ...and ...等
转折关系 but， however， yet， on the contrary， on the other hand， while， instead of等
因果关系 because， because of， for， since， as， thus， therefore， so， so ...that ...， due to， consequently， accordingly， thanks to， as a result， in that等
递进关系 then， also， besides， additionally， furthermore， moreover， in addition， what is more等
让步关系 although， though， even though， even if， nevertheless， despite， in spite of等
续表
举例 such as， for example， for instance， namely等
时间关系 when， whenever， before， after， since， as， while， until， meanwhile， at the same time等
条件关系 if， only if， if only， unless， otherwise， as soon as， as long as， in case， suppose that， supposing that， provided that， providing that， when， whenever， with等
列举关系 first/second/last of all， then， on one hand ...on the other hand， one ...another， some ...others等
总结关系 all in all， in brief， in short， in a word， in conclusion， altogether等
【典例】 Q：What does the man want to do？
A.Have breakfast.
B.Take a walk.
C.Call his office.
【听力原文】
M： Jenny， you can just drop me here.
W： But we’re two streets away from the office.
M： It’s fine.I had a big breakfast and feel like a bit of walk.
【分析】 根据男士所说的I had a big breakfast and feel like a bit of walk.中的并列连词and可知，男士想要散步。故答案为B。

推测逻辑关系，提升听力水平
听与看、写相比，最大的不同在于它是转瞬即逝的。每个单词在
耳边都是一闪而过的，如果没能立刻确定它的发音，就只能用尽各种
方法去猜测了。当通过语音和语法都解决不了问题的时候，可以尝试
根据上下文的逻辑关系推测。
一般来讲，语言是有逻辑性的，说话人在强调因果、对比和转折
等关系的时候，都会使用一些逻辑词，例如“但是”“因为”“然
而”等。英语也是一样的，我们在听听力的时候就会发现，往往答案
出现在逻辑词之后。因此，我们需要有意识地去听逻辑词。常见的逻
辑词有：
并列
关系 and， or， as well as， not only ...but also ...， anything
else， both ...and ...等
转折
关系 but， however， yet， on the contrary， on the other hand，
while， instead of等
因果
关系 because， because of， for， since， as， thus， therefore，
so， so ...that ...， due to， consequently， accordingly，
thanks to， as a result， in that等
递进
关系 then， also， besides， additionally， furthermore， moreover，
in addition， what is more等
让步
关系 although， though， even though， even if， nevertheless，
despite， in spite of等
举例 such as， for example， for instance， namely等
时间

（2024·福建四校高一下联考）If you think about modern art，
Picasso is probably the first name that pops into your head.Art today
wouldn’t be the same without him！
Pablo Picasso had a very long and interesting life.He lived through
two world wars， the invention of electricity， telephones， radio and
TVs， movies， automobiles， and airplanes.As the world changed， he
was able to change with it.He worked hard every day for more than eighty
years.Some people say he created 50，000 pieces of art！ Unlike many
artists， Picasso was successful and became famous quite quickly.
Picasso moved back to Paris in 1904.Around this time， Pablo was
meeting lots of interesting people in Paris.He met a rich American woman
named Gertrude Stein who was a poet.And she was one of the first people
to really appreciate Picasso’s paintings， and she bought some of them.
In 1906， Picasso began to work on a portrait for Gertrude Stein.It
was torture for Pablo because he just couldn’t get her face right.She sat
for the portrait eight times！ It probably was torture for Gertrude， too！
Pablo gave up for the summer； in the fall， he painted her face from
memory.It looked like a primitive mask.Pablo had been looking at
African and primitive art in a museum， which explains why.He was
never afraid to borrow ideas.
People didn’t think the painting looked like Gertrude at all， but she
loved it.She said，“For me， it is I. ”
After working on a portrait of Gertrude Stein， Pablo realised that he
didn’t have to paint exactly what he saw.He could paint what he
imagined.This led to a turning point for Pablo.It was a turning point in the
history of modern art！

A librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island is lending books to children in
exchange for rubbish they collect in a novel way to clean up the
environment and get the kids to read more.Each weekday， Raden Roro
Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with books stored up at the back for
children in Muntang village in exchange for plastic cups， bags and other
waste that she carries back.
She told Reuters she is helping develop reading habits of the kids as
well as make them aware of the environment.As soon as she shows up，
little children， many accompanied by their mothers， surround her
“Rubbish Library” and ask for the books.They are all carrying rubbish
bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books
fly out.She is happy that the kids are going to spend less time on online
games as a result.
Raden said，“Let us build a culture of literacy （读写能力） from
young age to reduce the harm of the online world.We should also take care
of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from
rubbish.” She collects about 100 kilograms of waste each week， which
is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold.She has
a stock of 6，000 books to lend.
Kevin Alamsyah， an eager 11-year-old reader， searches for waste
lying in the village.“When there is too much rubbish， our environment
will become dirty.That’s why I look for rubbish to borrow a book，”
he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia has been around
96 percent， though a report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic
would leave more than 80 percent of 15-year-olds below the minimum
reading level.

What is the secret to the world’s most creative minds — the minds
of resourceful inventors， innovative scientists and inspired artists？ Are
they simply lucky to be born with the right genes？ Most studies suggest
that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person’s
genes.
So what are the requirements for creativity？ First of all， creativity
takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash
of brilliance， but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form
over a long period.In fact， many of history’s most creative people have
a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King， Jr，
reportedly wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech at ten o’clock the night
before he delivered it， but it had gone through a long period of
“preparation and incubation” in his mind before that.
In a surprising twist， creativity may also be sparked by
suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative
geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did
many other artists， and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his
parents when he was only nine years old.
Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some
creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don’t
seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds，
some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also
curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children，
creative people are often unable to sit still， unable to focus on their
lessons， instead， always looking for something new and interesting to
capture their attention.
The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers
agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single
characteristic which can explain the world’s most creative minds.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·石家庄高一下质检）Since ancient times， China has
been a country of etiquette （礼仪）.There are many stories about
etiquette which have been widely handed down.In the book New Tales
Commonly Told there is the well-known story “Kong Rong Takes the
Smallest Pear”.
Kong Rong was a descendant （后裔） of Confucius.16.
（ ）.Together with six other literary figures， he was honoured as
one of the “Seven Masters of Jian’an”.
In his early years Kong Rong showed himself to be a hard-working
person of talent.Once， when Kong Rong was four years old， he and his
five brothers were eating pears.17.（ ）.His brothers noticed this，
and thought it very strange.They asked him why he had chosen the
smallest pear.Kong Rong replied，“I am the youngest brother；
therefore， I should eat the smallest pear.”
When others heard it， they were very surprised that such a young
child understood the ethics of yielding （让步） to others.His whole
family realised that he was an exceptional person.18.（ ）， and
later it was spread by word of mouth； it was even included in The Three
Character Classic， in the words “Kong at Four Chose the Smallest
Pear”.
19. （ ）.It is this heritage of countless numbers of children of
China that has earned for China the fine name of “country of
etiquette”.It is hoped that children today will cultivate fine manners so as
to grow up to be well-mannered young people.
Etiquette is one of the Chinese people’s fine traditional virtues.20.
（ ）.From their earliest years the children of China learn to
understand and preserve etiquette， and it is by earnestly practicing it that
the people have displayed a splendid moral character， promoting Chinese
civilization through the ages.
A. This story is about propriety
B. Kong Rong chose the smallest one
C. China is well-known as a nation of etiquette
D. He displayed a fine sense of morality in every action
E. Kong Rong’s father wrote an account of this incident
