　　Cristina Mittermeier is a marine biologist， activist and multi-award-winning photographer who has given her life to ocean protection. Recognised as being one of the world’s most influential conservation photographers， Cristina has travelled to 132 countries to achieve her goal — to communicate the immediate need to protect wild places.
　　She began her career as a marine biologist， but soon realised that she could better work for the interests of the oceans and the planet through her camera than with scientific data. In her eyes， science is basic to understanding what is happening to our planet， but it fails to convey the emotions that make us care.
　　According to Cristina， photography allows us to humanise （使人性化） stories and create something meaningful， and she had an urgent need to share the difficult situation of the planet. For her， it’s all about the emotional connections we can establish with the subject matter. She loves creating pictures that engages people in conversations and makes them stop and think. Establishing a successful career as a photographer has not been an easy journey. She worked hard at teaching herself the basics of photography and then she went back to school to learn more about the underpinnings of fine art.
　　When asked what has inspired her focus on marine life， she replied， “The ocean is barely mentioned but it is the largest ecosystem on our planet and is the ecosystem that has the most influence on Earth. It absorbs at least 25% of all emissions and most of the heat on our planet. I want people to recognise that the ocean isn’t just hurt by climate change — it is our solution. If our oceans die — and they are dying — we will die with them. Life on Earth is not possible without a living ocean.”
24.What goal did Cristina intend to achieve in her travels？（　　）
A.To take more wonderful pictures.
B.To urge people to protect the wild places.
C.To work for the non-for-profit organization.
D.To become the world’s most influential photographer.
25.What makes Cristina think she can better work as a photographer？（　　）
A.She was bored with her career as a marine biologist.
B.She can’t understand what is happening to our planet.
C.She can convey emotional information through her camera.
D.She wants to establish a successful career as a photographer.
26.Why does Cristina focus on the ocean？（　　）
A.Because of the marine life.　 B.Because of the great emissions.
C.Because of her love for the ocean.　　D.Because of the ocean’s importance.
27.Which of the following can best describe Cristina？（　　）
A.Powerful.　　 　　 B.Patient.　　 　　　C.Responsible.　　　 　D.Intelligent.

　　A 16th century drawing by one of the key figures of the German Renaissance has been valued in excess of $10 million after it was initially purchased at a yard sale for just $30 in 2017. According to Agnews Gallery — the London auction house in possession of the artwork — Albrecht Dürer， who died in 1528， is regarded as both the greatest German artist of his time and as one of the most important artists and intellectuals of the European Renaissance. The drawing that has been rediscovered is titled “The Virgin and Child”. As Dürer’s career and legacy have been studied in depth since his death， it is extremely rare to find unknown works of his.
　　Boston-based art collector Clifford Schorer， who is a consultant to the gallery， added Thursday that he came across the rare artwork， thought to have been completed in 1503， by chance on the way to a party in Massachusetts in 2019. He had forgotten to bring a gift to the party， so he went to a bookstore， which sold collectable volumes. The bookseller told him his friend had a Dürer drawing and asked if he would take a look at it. Schorer agreed， but held out little hope.
　　“The artwork had been purchased at a yard sale at the home of an architect who had been gifted the piece from his art dealer father，” Schorer said. “Generally speaking， it’s an inverse （反向的） relationship between how dramatic the claim is and how much of a let down it is. For example if someone tells me they have a Leonardo da Vinci， I’m usually pretty confident I’m going to see some images that are unimpressive.”
　　But when he arrived to examine the artwork weeks later， he was taken aback by its quality. “It was like experiencing a kind of electricity. When you’re in my world you spend your life looking for unknown things that lead to fascinating research avenues ...and I could see I was at the beginning of something extremely exciting，” Schorer said.
28.Why is it rare to find the unknown works of Albrecht Dürer’s？（　　）
A.He was a key figure of the German Renaissance.
B.His real works were only sold at the yard sales.
C.His works were studied carefully after he died.
D.He had few works like “The Virgin and Child”.
29.What did Clifford Schorer do on his way to a party？（　　）
A.He went to buy a gift. B.He collected old volumes.
C.He went to a gallery. D.He visited his old friends.
30.Why did Clifford Schorer mention the example of Leonardo da Vinci？（　　）
A.To show the value of Dürer’s drawing. B.To describe his contradictory feelings.
C.To improve his own confidence in art. D.To show the painting is unimpressive.
31.What does the underlined phrase “taken aback” in the last paragraph mean？（　　）
A.Sold.　 B.Shocked.　　 C.Excited.　　D.Excused.

　　An artificial intelligence system that has recently caught the spotlight for numerous reasons has been asked to produce images of real-life iconic （偶像的） cartoon characters.
　　The artificial intelligence that was requested to produce the images is called Midjourney which is an AI program that is designed to produce images from textual descriptions. The tool recently went into open in July and has since grown in popularity as users are able to enter descriptions of whatever they can think of to produce a completely unique image. Midjourney is extremely impressive， as I have personally used it to generate several wallpaper images for my desktop.
　　The AI system is capable of recognizing specific words such as 4K， real-life， cartoon， high detail and more. Using these words and more， you can write a prompt （提示符） such as： portrait image of Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty in real life. Taking this principle of being able to request basically whatever you want， one， Midjourney， user decided to create an award-winning image and enter it into an art competition undisclosed （秘密的） of its creation process.
　　Jason Allen， a board game director， spent weeks improving the prompt that he was entering into Midjourney and eventually generated three images that he was happy with.
　　Allen entered the AI-generated images in the Digital Art category at Colorado State Fair under his own name along with “via Midjourney”. Allen won first place and used the opportunity to make a statement about AI art being accepted among the community， saying， “Is it common for artists to explain their process just for the sake of clarification？ Are they judging the art or the method by which it was created？”
32.What is the text mainly about？（　　）
A.An AI system is able to draw cartoons.
B.An AI system makes pictures all by itself.
C.An AI system creates art works instead of artists.
D.An AI system produces pictures based on requirements.
33.What made Midjourney popular？（　　）
A.Its style.　 B.Its function.
C.Its shape. D.Its appearance.
34.Why did the author mention Jason Allen in the last two paragraphs？（　　）
A.To show his great talent in art.
B.To explain how Midjourney works.
C.To prove Midjourney can do excellent work.
D.To appeal to artists to explain their creating process to people.
35.Where is the text most likely from？（　　）
A.A newspaper. B.A travel guide.
C.A science fiction. D.A textbook.

　　Why is it that so many of us enjoyed painting and art as kids， but have somehow lost that passion growing up？ We don’t know the answer， but what we do know is that it’s never too late to start painting again. 36.（　　） We’ve boiled these benefits down to our picks for the top three.
　　Therapeutic Benefits — Painting is relaxing and can help reduce your stress levels. 37.（　　） This has a similar effect on your body as meditation （冥想）.The result is a positive attitude and a different outlook on the world around you.

　　There you have it， three of the top reasons to start painting more often. One of the best ways to get started is by attending a local painting class or event. 40.（　　） For those of you in Utah， The Paint Mixer offers local instructed painting events. Not in Utah？ Take a few minutes to find a local painting studio near you. You’ll be shocked by the positive impact painting will have on your life.
A.It makes each piece unique.
B.This can help ease you into painting.
C.Learning how to paint will strengthen their mind.

　　I had just poured my second cup of tea that morning and sat down to read the paper.From somewhere， an inner voice said， “Go and see Jeff and bring him the chair to repair.Go right now.”
　　It was such a strong impulse （沖動(dòng)） that I hurriedly dressed and lugged （用力拖） a dining-room chair to his door.Jeff was a neighbour who had lost his wife a while back， and he occasionally did minor repairs for me on furniture because he enjoyed working with his hands.
　　I knocked on his door and waited a while.I was about to walk away when he answered.He looked like he was far away in his thoughts.I felt awkward about disturbing him so early.I greeted him and then asked if he could repair my chair.He invited me inside.We sat in his living room.He looked depressed and not his usual self.He said he had had a stroke （中風(fēng)） recently， and while he was home now， he still needed to attend outpatient physical therapy （門診理療）.He had to build his strength back up.I apologized for the chair and told him， under the circumstances， I would just bring it back home.He said to leave it.
　　We talked for a while.It had scared him to be in the hospital.He hadn’t been there since his wife had died.Having worked as a mental health therapist， I listened to how hard it had been since his wife passed away and how much worse it was now since the stroke.The longer we talked， the more I saw his mood lighten.
　　We even started talking about his diet and how he had not been eating.He said the dietician had told him to eat more fruits and vegetables， but he didn’t care for them.Mostly， I was concerned because he was not eating much at all.I stayed talking with him until I saw his mood lift and the tension leave his face.

M：Here is the news from Dallas.
Walmart posted its worst monthly sales results in history， declaring a large decrease in April.
Monthly sales measure sales gains or losses at stores open for at least a year.They are an obvious sign of the returns a supermarket earns， and thus an influence on the amount of profit it makes.Most US supermarkets are reporting their April results on Thursday.
Walmart’s 5% drop in the four-week period fell below its earlier forecast of “flat” sales of a 2% to 3% decrease.In a recorded phone message Thursday， Walmart blamed bad weather last month in most US areas.
Walmart’s chief financial officer warned a month ago that the company’s earlier goal of earnings for its latest quarter would be “a challenge” to achieve， considering what the company foresaw as a difficult April.The company didn’t provide an update.It did， however， predict a sales gain for this month of a small decrease.Walmart will report its results for its first quarter on Tuesday.

26.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)深刻影響著地球，可能是我們解決氣候變化問題的方法。由此可知，海洋對我們非常重要，因此Cristina關(guān)注海洋。
27.C　推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，文章主要分享了Cristina致力于海洋保護(hù)的經(jīng)歷，她一開始是海洋生物學(xué)家，在意識(shí)到攝影可以更好地向人們傳遞信息后，她轉(zhuǎn)而去做攝影師，學(xué)習(xí)各種知識(shí)，通過攝影創(chuàng)作吸引人們參與海洋保護(hù)。由此可知，她是一個(gè)有責(zé)任心的人。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。德國文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的著名畫家阿爾布雷特·丟勒的作品在一次庭院拍賣會(huì)上以30美元的價(jià)格被賣掉，然而當(dāng)人們重新審視其價(jià)值的時(shí)候，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這幅畫真正的價(jià)值超過了千萬美元。
28.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，在丟勒死后他的事業(yè)和遺贈(zèng)的財(cái)物已經(jīng)被深度研究過了，因此再發(fā)現(xiàn)有關(guān)他的未知畫作，這是很罕見的。
29.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的He had forgotten to ... sold collectable volumes.可知，Clifford Schorer在去參加派對時(shí)忘了帶禮物，因此去書店肯定是想買禮物。
30.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Schorer說的話可知，Schorer認(rèn)為宣稱的東西越厲害其結(jié)果會(huì)越讓人失望，他用達(dá)·芬奇的作品來做例子，其例子真實(shí)含義為：如果有人說有達(dá)·芬奇的畫，他會(huì)找出不是達(dá)·芬奇作品的證據(jù)。結(jié)合全文可知，這幅畫卻是丟勒的真跡，由此可得出，他舉達(dá)·芬奇作品的例子是想表達(dá)他在發(fā)現(xiàn)丟勒的作品時(shí)的矛盾感情。
31.B　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中Schorer說的It was like experiencing a kind of electricity.可知，看到畫時(shí)，Schorer感覺像被電擊了。由此推斷，當(dāng)Clifford Schorer看到這幅畫時(shí)，他對這幅畫的質(zhì)量感到震驚。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一款被稱為Midjourney的人工智能系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)可根據(jù)文本描述的需求生成圖像。
32.D　主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了一款被稱為Midjourney的人工智能系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)可根據(jù)文本描述的需求生成圖像。
33.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知，Midjourney受到歡迎是因?yàn)樗軌虬凑找笊蓤D像的功能。
34.C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段末句以及末段第二句可知，作者提及艾倫是為了證明Midjourney可以創(chuàng)作出優(yōu)秀的作品并獲獎(jiǎng)。
35.A　文章出處題。根據(jù)文章首段可知，本文應(yīng)出自報(bào)紙的報(bào)道。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了繪畫帶給人們的三種好處。
36.E　上文提到什么時(shí)候重新開始繪畫都不晚，下文具體介紹繪畫帶給人們的三種好處。由此可知，設(shè)空處應(yīng)該與繪畫帶給人們的好處有關(guān)，故E項(xiàng)符合語境。空后一句中的these benefits指代E項(xiàng)中的many health benefits。
37.G　根據(jù)段落小標(biāo)題Therapeutic Benefits和空前一句可知，繪畫對身心有益。G項(xiàng)（繪畫時(shí)，你會(huì)專注于創(chuàng)作而不想其他事）進(jìn)一步解釋上文中提到的繪畫能讓人放松、減輕壓力，符合語境。
38.D　根據(jù)段落小標(biāo)題Unleashed （釋放的） Creativity和空后一句可知，內(nèi)心有創(chuàng)造力才需要去釋放。故D項(xiàng)（我們的內(nèi)心都有成為創(chuàng)作天才的必要條件）符合語境。D項(xiàng)中的creative與小標(biāo)題中的Creativity和下文中的creativity是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。have the makings of ...具備成為……的必要條件。
39.F　本段指出繪畫能提高注意力并鍛煉毅力。設(shè)空處與上下句之間是順承關(guān)系，具體解釋了為什么繪畫能提高注意力并鍛煉毅力。故F項(xiàng)符合語境。F項(xiàng)中的this process指代空前一句中的Creating a painting from start to finish。challenges與空后一句中的challenges是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。
40.B　根據(jù)上下文可知，參加繪畫課或活動(dòng)對你開始繪畫有幫助。故B項(xiàng)（這可以幫助你輕松地繪畫）符合語境。B項(xiàng)中的This指代上文中的attending a local painting class or event。ease sb into sth使某人熟悉某物（新事物）。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者經(jīng)歷了一次不愉快的藝術(shù)展覽之旅后，發(fā)現(xiàn)了藝術(shù)課很有趣。一位藝術(shù)家使用不同的技巧繪畫，把一些普通的物品融入藝術(shù)中，這使作者對未來很有期待。
41.D　根據(jù)下文different techniques and generally get creative可知，“我們”對各種繪畫技巧進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)。
42.A　根據(jù)下文The gallery was full of older people可知，這次畫廊沒有青少年的活動(dòng)，故應(yīng)該是感到失望。
43.A　根據(jù)下文Our teacher was getting 　45　 and kept telling us to be quiet.可知，“我們”是吵鬧的。
44.B　根據(jù)下文couldn’t stop chatting可知，因?yàn)闊o聊所以一直在聊天。
45.C　老師看到“我們”在畫廊聊天，擔(dān)心影響他人，所以有些焦慮， 一直在告訴我們要保持安靜。
46.A　根據(jù)下文That’s when I decided to go online and look for art galleries that have special 　48　 for teens.可知，“我”之所以上網(wǎng)尋找有特殊活動(dòng)的畫廊是因?yàn)闆]有青少年的活動(dòng)。
47.D　老師同意參觀活動(dòng)應(yīng)該兼顧教育性和趣味性，對應(yīng)作者上網(wǎng)去尋找適合青少年的有特殊活動(dòng)的畫廊。
48.D　根據(jù)上文可知，此處指的是畫廊中缺少的青少年活動(dòng)。
49.C　根據(jù)下文proposed some to my teacher可知，作者成功地找到了適合青少年的活動(dòng)。
50.B　根據(jù)上文That’s when I decided to go online and look for art galleries可知，作者是使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)進(jìn)行搜索相關(guān)信息。
51.A　根據(jù)下文but Bailey is totally different可知，作者已經(jīng)了解了許多不同的藝術(shù)家，才能作出比較。
52.D　根據(jù)下文such as umbrellas， headphones and even cookies可知，該藝術(shù)家是將普通的物件做成藝術(shù)品。
53.C　根據(jù)but可知，此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折，作品雖然平凡，但會(huì)讓你用不一樣的角度看待它們。
54.B　根據(jù)上文a flower is similar to a mop （拖把）可知，這是對常見事物的一種看法或者觀點(diǎn)。
55.B　根據(jù)下文I hope I’ll be able to go to an exhibition of his works in the future.可知，正是這很有趣的畫面，所以作者才期待未來還會(huì)有。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了中國山水畫。
56.extremely　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾形容詞happy，應(yīng)用副詞作狀語，故填extremely。
57.be considered　考查動(dòng)詞的語態(tài)。空處是句中謂語，與主語Chinese landscape painting之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，空前有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can。故填be considered。
58.meaning　考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，　58　 （mean） mountains and water作后置定語修飾名詞characters，mean與其邏輯主語characters之間是主謂關(guān)系，應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞-ing形式。故填meaning。
59.which　考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞Daoism，定語從句中缺少主語。故填which。

第四部分
第一節(jié)
Dear Henry，
　　I’m Li Hua， the leader of the art club in our school. I’m writing to tell you that there will be a Chinese oil painting exhibition held by our school. I sincerely hope you can set aside some time for the art feast.
　　The exhibition， whose theme is “Beauty of China”， will take place in the school hall from 2 to 5 on the afternoon of 21 June. Not only will our club’s works be displayed， but we will also have a valuable set of oil painting created by a famous artist in this field. Besides， there will be a lot of interesting activities， from which you can have a clearer picture of Chinese culture.
　　I would appreciate it if you could accept my invitation. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二節(jié)
　　After I left his home， I went to the grocery store and gathered ingredients.I made him a hot meal， which I thought would lift his spirits.Carefully， I cut up some vegetables and prepared a dish for him.I believed it was the best dish I’d ever made.Then， I made some home-made biscuits and prepared fresh fruit for dessert.I dropped it off for him.He was delighted that someone cared.Emotionally， he seemed in a better place.
　　The next time I saw him， he said the dish was wonderful.Though I am usually skeptical of praise， I understood because I’d made it with love.He talked of his next physical-therapy appointment.I made sure he had transportation； I would gladly have driven him， but he had figured it out.What’s more， he repaired my chair.He said it gave him a reason to get his strength back.He had returned to his usual self， and his confidence had returned.I was so thankful for the inner voice that directed me to see him that morning.

M：Here is the news from Dallas.
Walmart posted its worst monthly sales results in history， declaring a
large decrease in April.
Monthly sales measure sales gains or losses at stores open for at least a
year.They are an obvious sign of the returns a supermarket earns， and
thus an influence on the amount of profit it makes.Most US supermarkets
are reporting their April results on Thursday.
Walmart’s 5％ drop in the four-week period fell below its earlier forecast
of “flat” sales of a 2％ to 3％ decrease.In a recorded phone message
Thursday， Walmart blamed bad weather last month in most US areas.
Walmart’s chief financial officer warned a month ago that the
company’s earlier goal of earnings for its latest quarter would be “a
challenge” to achieve， considering what the company foresaw as a
difficult April.The company didn’t provide an update.It did，
however， predict a sales gain for this month of a small decrease.Walmart
will report its results for its first quarter on Tuesday.

　　Cristina Mittermeier is a marine biologist， activist and multi-award-
winning photographer who has given her life to ocean protection.
Recognised as being one of the world’s most influential conservation
photographers， Cristina has travelled to 132 countries to achieve her
goal — to communicate the immediate need to protect wild places.
　　She began her career as a marine biologist， but soon realised that
she could better work for the interests of the oceans and the planet through
her camera than with scientific data. In her eyes， science is basic to
understanding what is happening to our planet， but it fails to convey the
emotions that make us care.
　　According to Cristina， photography allows us to humanise （使人
性化） stories and create something meaningful， and she had an urgent
need to share the difficult situation of the planet. For her， it’s all about
the emotional connections we can establish with the subject matter. She
loves creating pictures that engages people in conversations and makes
them stop and think. Establishing a successful career as a photographer
has not been an easy journey. She worked hard at teaching herself the
basics of photography and then she went back to school to learn more
about the underpinnings of fine art.
　　When asked what has inspired her focus on marine life， she
replied， “The ocean is barely mentioned but it is the largest ecosystem
on our planet and is the ecosystem that has the most influence on Earth. It
absorbs at least 25％ of all emissions and most of the heat on our planet. I
want people to recognise that the ocean isn’t just hurt by climate
change — it is our solution. If our oceans die — and they are dying — we
will die with them. Life on Earth is not possible without a living ocean.”

24. What goal did Cristina intend to achieve in her travels？（　　）
A. To take more wonderful pictures.
B. To urge people to protect the wild places.
C. To work for the non-for-profit organization.
D. To become the world’s most influential photographer.

C. She can convey emotional information through her camera.
D. She wants to establish a successful career as a photographer.

　　A 16th century drawing by one of the key figures of the German
Renaissance has been valued in excess of $10 million after it was initially
purchased at a yard sale for just $30 in 2017. According to Agnews
Gallery — the London auction house in possession of the artwork —
Albrecht Dürer， who died in 1528， is regarded as both the greatest
German artist of his time and as one of the most important artists and
intellectuals of the European Renaissance. The drawing that has been
rediscovered is titled “The Virgin and Child”. As Dürer’s career and
legacy have been studied in depth since his death， it is extremely rare to
find unknown works of his.
　　Boston-based art collector Clifford Schorer， who is a consultant to
the gallery， added Thursday that he came across the rare artwork，
thought to have been completed in 1503， by chance on the way to a party
in Massachusetts in 2019. He had forgotten to bring a gift to the party， so
he went to a bookstore， which sold collectable volumes. The bookseller
told him his friend had a Dürer drawing and asked if he would take a look
at it. Schorer agreed， but held out little hope.
　　“The artwork had been purchased at a yard sale at the home of an
architect who had been gifted the piece from his art dealer father，”
Schorer said. “Generally speaking， it’s an inverse （反向的）
relationship between how dramatic the claim is and how much of a let
down it is. For example if someone tells me they have a Leonardo da
Vinci， I’m usually pretty confident I’m going to see some images that
are unimpressive.”
　　But when he arrived to examine the artwork weeks later， he was
taken aback by its quality. “It was like experiencing a kind of electricity.
When you’re in my world you spend your life looking for unknown
things that lead to fascinating research avenues ...and I could see I was at
the beginning of something extremely exciting，” Schorer said.

爾布雷特·丟勒的作品在一次庭院拍賣會(huì)上以30美元的價(jià)格被賣掉，
然而當(dāng)人們重新審視其價(jià)值的時(shí)候，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這幅畫真正的價(jià)值超
過了千萬美元。
28. Why is it rare to find the unknown works of Albrecht Dürer’s？
（　　）
A. He was a key figure of the German Renaissance.
B. His real works were only sold at the yard sales.
C. His works were studied carefully after he died.
D. He had few works like “The Virgin and Child”.
解析： 　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，在丟勒死后
他的事業(yè)和遺贈(zèng)的財(cái)物已經(jīng)被深度研究過了，因此再發(fā)現(xiàn)有關(guān)他
的未知畫作，這是很罕見的。
29. What did Clifford Schorer do on his way to a party？（　　）
A. He went to buy a gift.
B. He collected old volumes.
C. He went to a gallery.
D. He visited his old friends.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的He had forgotten to ...
sold collectable volumes.可知，Clifford Schorer在去參加派對時(shí)忘
了帶禮物，因此去書店肯定是想買禮物。
30. Why did Clifford Schorer mention the example of Leonardo da
Vinci？（　　）
A. To show the value of Dürer’s drawing.
B. To describe his contradictory feelings.
C. To improve his own confidence in art.
D. To show the painting is unimpressive.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Schorer說的話可知，
Schorer認(rèn)為宣稱的東西越厲害其結(jié)果會(huì)越讓人失望，他用達(dá)·芬奇
的作品來做例子，其例子真實(shí)含義為：如果有人說有達(dá)·芬奇的
畫，他會(huì)找出不是達(dá)·芬奇作品的證據(jù)。結(jié)合全文可知，這幅畫卻
是丟勒的真跡，由此可得出，他舉達(dá)·芬奇作品的例子是想表達(dá)他
在發(fā)現(xiàn)丟勒的作品時(shí)的矛盾感情。
31. What does the underlined phrase “taken aback” in the last paragraph
mean？（　　）
A. Sold. B. Shocked.
C. Excited. D. Excused.
解析： 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中Schorer說的It was like
experiencing a kind of electricity.可知，看到畫時(shí)，Schorer感覺像
被電擊了。由此推斷，當(dāng)Clifford Schorer看到這幅畫時(shí)，他對這
幅畫的質(zhì)量感到震驚。

　　An artificial intelligence system that has recently caught the spotlight
for numerous reasons has been asked to produce images of real-life iconic
（偶像的） cartoon characters.
　　The artificial intelligence that was requested to produce the images is
called Midjourney which is an AI program that is designed to produce
images from textual descriptions. The tool recently went into open in July
and has since grown in popularity as users are able to enter descriptions of
whatever they can think of to produce a completely unique image.
Midjourney is extremely impressive， as I have personally used it to
generate several wallpaper images for my desktop.
　　The AI system is capable of recognizing specific words such as 4K，
real-life， cartoon， high detail and more. Using these words and more，
you can write a prompt （提示符） such as： portrait image of Rick
Sanchez from Rick and Morty in real life. Taking this principle of being
able to request basically whatever you want， one， Midjourney， user
decided to create an award-winning image and enter it into an art
competition undisclosed （秘密的） of its creation process.
　　Jason Allen， a board game director， spent weeks improving the
prompt that he was entering into Midjourney and eventually generated
three images that he was happy with.
　　Allen entered the AI-generated images in the Digital Art category at
Colorado State Fair under his own name along with “via Midjourney”.
Allen won first place and used the opportunity to make a statement about
AI art being accepted among the community， saying， “Is it common
for artists to explain their process just for the sake of clarification？ Are
they judging the art or the method by which it was created？”

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選
項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
　　Why is it that so many of us enjoyed painting and art as kids， but
have somehow lost that passion growing up？ We don’t know the
answer， but what we do know is that it’s never too late to start painting
again. 36.（　　） We’ve boiled these benefits down to our picks for
the top three.
　　Therapeutic Benefits — Painting is relaxing and can help reduce
your stress levels. 37.（　　） This has a similar effect on your body as
meditation （冥想）.The result is a positive attitude and a different
outlook on the world around you.
　　Unleashed （釋放的） Creativity — 38.（　　） Unleashing your
creativity allows you to expand your abilities and gain self-confidence.
The joy of painting comes less from the quality of the painting and more
from the satisfaction of creating something amazing yourself.
　　Concentration & Perseverance （毅力） — Creating a painting
from start to finish takes time and effort. 39.（　　） Pushing through
this helps improve your ability to concentrate and persevere through new
challenges. Taking on a new painting can feel daunting （令人生畏的）
at first， but it’s a highly satisfying experience that will leave you
wanting more.
　　There you have it， three of the top reasons to start painting more
often. One of the best ways to get started is by attending a local painting
class or event. 40.（　　） For those of you in Utah， The Paint Mixer
offers local instructed painting events. Not in Utah？ Take a few minutes
to find a local painting studio near you. You’ll be shocked by the positive
impact painting will have on your life.
A. It makes each piece unique.
B. This can help ease you into painting.
C. Learning how to paint will strengthen their mind.
D. We all have the makings of a creative genius inside us.
E. There are many health benefits to be gained from painting.
F. During this process mistakes and challenges are being made and
overcome.
G. While painting， you’ll focus on what you are creating and let
everything else go.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了繪畫帶給人們的三種好
處。
36. E　上文提到什么時(shí)候重新開始繪畫都不晚，下文具體介紹繪畫
帶給人們的三種好處。由此可知，設(shè)空處應(yīng)該與繪畫帶給人們的好處
有關(guān)，故E項(xiàng)符合語境。空后一句中的these benefits指代E項(xiàng)中的many
health benefits。
37. G　根據(jù)段落小標(biāo)題Therapeutic Benefits和空前一句可知，繪畫
對身心有益。G項(xiàng)（繪畫時(shí)，你會(huì)專注于創(chuàng)作而不想其他事）進(jìn)一步
解釋上文中提到的繪畫能讓人放松、減輕壓力，符合語境。
38. D　根據(jù)段落小標(biāo)題Unleashed （釋放的） Creativity和空后一句
可知，內(nèi)心有創(chuàng)造力才需要去釋放。故D項(xiàng)（我們的內(nèi)心都有成為創(chuàng)
作天才的必要條件）符合語境。D項(xiàng)中的creative與小標(biāo)題中的
Creativity和下文中的creativity是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。have the makings
of ...具備成為……的必要條件。
39. F　本段指出繪畫能提高注意力并鍛煉毅力。設(shè)空處與上下句
之間是順承關(guān)系，具體解釋了為什么繪畫能提高注意力并鍛煉毅
力。故F項(xiàng)符合語境。F項(xiàng)中的this process指代空前一句中的
Creating a painting from start to finish。challenges與空后一句中
的challenges是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。
40. B　根據(jù)上下文可知，參加繪畫課或活動(dòng)對你開始繪畫有幫助。
故B項(xiàng)（這可以幫助你輕松地繪畫）符合語境。B項(xiàng)中的This指代上文
中的attending a local painting class or event。ease sb into sth使某人熟悉
某物（新事物）。

成一篇完整的短文。
　　I had just poured my second cup of tea that morning and sat down to
read the paper.From somewhere， an inner voice said， “Go and see
Jeff and bring him the chair to repair.Go right now.”
　　It was such a strong impulse （沖動(dòng)） that I hurriedly dressed and
lugged （用力拖） a dining-room chair to his door.Jeff was a neighbour
who had lost his wife a while back， and he occasionally did minor repairs
for me on furniture because he enjoyed working with his hands.
　　I knocked on his door and waited a while.I was about to walk away
when he answered.He looked like he was far away in his thoughts.I felt
awkward about disturbing him so early.I greeted him and then asked if he
could repair my chair.He invited me inside.We sat in his living room.He
looked depressed and not his usual self.He said he had had a stroke （中
風(fēng)） recently， and while he was home now， he still needed to attend
outpatient physical therapy （門診理療）.He had to build his strength
back up.I apologized for the chair and told him， under the
circumstances， I would just bring it back home.He said to leave it.
　　We talked for a while.It had scared him to be in the hospital.He
hadn’t been there since his wife had died.Having worked as a mental
health therapist， I listened to how hard it had been since his wife passed
away and how much worse it was now since the stroke.The longer we
talked， the more I saw his mood lighten.
　　We even started talking about his diet and how he had not been
eating.He said the dietician had told him to eat more fruits and
vegetables， but he didn’t care for them.Mostly， I was concerned
because he was not eating much at all.I stayed talking with him until I saw
his mood lift and the tension leave his face.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　After I left his home， I went to the grocery store and gathered
ingredients. 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　The next time I saw him， he said the dish was wonderful. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　After I left his home， I went to the grocery store and gathered
ingredients.I made him a hot meal， which I thought would lift his
spirits.Carefully， I cut up some vegetables and prepared a dish for him.I
believed it was the best dish I’d ever made.Then， I made some home-
made biscuits and prepared fresh fruit for dessert.I dropped it off for
him.He was delighted that someone cared.Emotionally， he seemed in a
better place.
　　The next time I saw him， he said the dish was wonderful.Though I
am usually skeptical of praise， I understood because I’d made it with
love.He talked of his next physical-therapy appointment.I made sure he
had transportation； I would gladly have driven him， but he had figured
it out.What’s more， he repaired my chair.He said it gave him a reason
to get his strength back.He had returned to his usual self， and his
confidence had returned.I was so thankful for the inner voice that directed
me to see him that morning.
謝謝觀看！
