　　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 (鴿子). 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 (即興的). 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 (民族學(xué)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 (創(chuàng)傷) 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 (過(guò)多修飾的) 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

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.

　　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.閱讀理解
A
語(yǔ)篇解讀　這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了湯姆對(duì)藝術(shù)的熱愛(ài)與執(zhí)著。
1.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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.(這次展覽是湯姆迄今為止最大的一次展覽,其中包括價(jià)格合理的藝術(shù)品。互動(dòng)展示由素描、油畫、雕塑和現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演組成。)”可知,湯姆的展覽有各種各樣的形式。故選B。take on為固定短語(yǔ),意為“呈現(xiàn)”;a variety of為固定搭配,意為“各種各樣的”。A.它面向的是富人;C.它提供一種可實(shí)際操作的繪畫體驗(yàn);D.它是藝術(shù)史上最大的一次展覽。be targeted at為固定搭配,意為“面向,針對(duì)”;hands-on是合成形容詞,意為“動(dòng)手的;實(shí)際操作的”。
2.D　主旨大意題。根據(jù)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.(他的壁畫有一個(gè)特別的主題:畫的是鴿子。除了他的反戰(zhàn)立場(chǎng),他還在做一些有意義的事情。湯姆是一個(gè)被稱為‘請(qǐng)植樹’的植樹項(xiàng)目的創(chuàng)始成員。該組織在大約四年的時(shí)間里在愛(ài)爾蘭各地種植了一萬(wàn)棵樹。)”可知,湯姆反對(duì)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),為保護(hù)環(huán)境積極做貢獻(xiàn)。由此可知,第二段主要告訴我們湯姆對(duì)和平和環(huán)境的熱愛(ài)。故選D。
3.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“Tom's improvised songs”可定位到文章第四段。根據(jù)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.(他還唱歌,并且有一個(gè)在線頻道專門播放他非常即興創(chuàng)作的歌曲。所有這些創(chuàng)意都是他的生命線,他認(rèn)為藝術(shù)是必需品而不是奢侈品。)”并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知,A項(xiàng)(他有創(chuàng)作天賦)與文章內(nèi)容最相符。此題可采用排除法:B項(xiàng)(藝術(shù)是奢侈品)與文中的表述“who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury”不符;C項(xiàng)(藝術(shù)無(wú)邊界)與此部分內(nèi)容無(wú)關(guān);D項(xiàng)(他很受公眾歡迎)沒(méi)有提到。故選A。
4.D　推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,本文講述了湯姆對(duì)藝術(shù)的熱愛(ài)和關(guān)于他的藝術(shù)事業(yè)的一些情況。由此可知,本文介紹的是一位藝術(shù)家,因此,可能來(lái)自雜志的“人物”欄目。故選D。
熟詞生義
1.employ 熟義:v.雇用　生義:v.采用;運(yùn)用
2.communicate 熟義:v.交流　生義:v.傳達(dá),傳遞(想法、感情、思想等)
B
語(yǔ)篇解讀　這是一篇記敘文。文章主要介紹了2022年諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)獲得者——法國(guó)作家Annie Ernaux以及她的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷和寫作特色。
5.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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.(用諾貝爾委員會(huì)的話說(shuō),Ernaux因其寫作的勇氣和驚人的洞察力而獲獎(jiǎng)。)”可知,Annie Ernaux因在寫作中展現(xiàn)出的勇氣和觀察力而獲獎(jiǎng),故選D。
同義表達(dá)
　　D項(xiàng)中的bravery與第一段中的courage意思一致;D項(xiàng)中的observations與第一段中的insight(洞察力)所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容一致。
6.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood.(她的教養(yǎng)以及她應(yīng)對(duì)青春期和成年期的經(jīng)歷在她的小說(shuō)中占重要地位。)”可知,她的作品靈感來(lái)源于她的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷,故選B。
7.D　推理判斷題。
根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“Ernaux's writing style”定位到文章倒數(shù)第二段。
倒數(shù)第二段主要講她的寫作風(fēng)格。根據(jù)“Though the matters...they are always written in a plain language.(雖然Ernaux在她的書中描述的事情是嚴(yán)肅的,有時(shí)甚至是沉重的,但它們總是用樸素的語(yǔ)言寫的。)”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將她的風(fēng)格描述為‘平淡的寫作’,她力求通過(guò)這種方式客觀地講述自己的故事。‘不受華麗的描述或壓倒一切的情緒的影響’,福克斯新聞指出。)”可推知,Ernaux的文字客觀易懂。故選D。
同義表達(dá)
　　D項(xiàng)中的objective與第五段中的“tell her stories objectively”為同義表達(dá),D項(xiàng)中的“easy to understand”與第五段中的“written in a plain language”和“flat writing”為同義表達(dá)。
技巧點(diǎn)撥
　　本題的前三個(gè)選項(xiàng)各有一個(gè)符合題目要求的詞,因此都具有迷惑性,這種情況我們需要采用排除法。A項(xiàng)中的relaxing與文中的“serious and even sometimes heavy”不符。B項(xiàng)中的Descriptive 和C項(xiàng)中的Emotional與文中的“Unshaped by florid description or overwhelming emotions”相沖突。故三者都可排除。
8.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。
根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“according to Anders Olsson”可定位到最后一段。
根據(jù)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認(rèn)為她寫了別人沒(méi)寫過(guò)的東西,比如她的嫉妒、她作為被拋棄的愛(ài)人的經(jīng)歷等,這些都是非常艱難的經(jīng)歷。由此可知,Anders Olsson認(rèn)為Annie Ernaux與其他作家的不同之處在于她的作品涉及未被探索的主題,故選C。
易錯(cuò)分析
　　本題易誤選B。最后一段末尾提到“They are short books, but they are really moving.”,所以B項(xiàng)中的“short and moving”的確是Ernaux的作品的特色。但題干問(wèn)的是與其他作家的不同之處,回答這一問(wèn)題的只能是“She writes about things that no one else writes about”,“no one else”突出區(qū)別。誤選B項(xiàng)的根本原因在于沒(méi)有認(rèn)真讀題干,因而對(duì)本題意圖領(lǐng)會(huì)不準(zhǔn)確。

語(yǔ)篇解讀　本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章主要介紹了因?yàn)榻?jīng)費(fèi)不足,美國(guó)的部分大學(xué)正準(zhǔn)備削減人文類學(xué)科,且這個(gè)問(wèn)題在國(guó)際上也出現(xiàn)了。
1.D　過(guò)渡句。根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知由于缺乏資金,美國(guó)紐約州立大學(xué)石溪分校將放棄幾個(gè)知名的人文院系;匹茲堡大學(xué)削減了德語(yǔ)和古典學(xué)課程。根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容“在英國(guó),米德爾塞克斯大學(xué)決定逐步取消哲學(xué)系”以及“日本文部科學(xué)大臣致信日本幾個(gè)國(guó)立大學(xué)校長(zhǎng),建議他們關(guān)閉人文社科類的本科和研究生院系,專注于更實(shí)用的學(xué)科”可知,后文提到了英國(guó)和日本都有關(guān)閉人文社科類院系的舉措。由此可知,削減人文學(xué)科這個(gè)現(xiàn)象在許多國(guó)家都出現(xiàn)了。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)“這個(gè)問(wèn)題在國(guó)際上也出現(xiàn)了”承上啟下,承接上文提到的問(wèn)題,同時(shí)引出后文介紹的該問(wèn)題在國(guó)際上的情況,符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。D項(xiàng)中的arisen是arise的過(guò)去分詞,意為“發(fā)生;產(chǎn)生;出現(xiàn);(由……)引起;(因……)產(chǎn)生”。
2.B　細(xì)節(jié)句。根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知,大學(xué)將開設(shè)(或許已經(jīng)開設(shè))如何削減企業(yè)開支的課程,而不是有關(guān)莎士比亞或法語(yǔ)的課程,說(shuō)明大學(xué)更加注重實(shí)用技能了。B項(xiàng)“學(xué)生需要實(shí)用技能來(lái)找工作”符合語(yǔ)境,且B項(xiàng)中的“practical skills”對(duì)應(yīng)空前的“how to cut corporate spending”,故選B。
3.C　主旨句。根據(jù)空后“文章解釋我們?yōu)槭裁葱枰@些學(xué)科以及它們的消失意味著什么。這些領(lǐng)域的學(xué)習(xí)為我們提供了批判性思考和獨(dú)立思考的能力、看到一個(gè)問(wèn)題的正反兩面的能力、透過(guò)我們被告知的事情的表面看到本質(zhì)的能力以及欣賞語(yǔ)言幫助我們更清楚地相互理解的方式的能力”可知,本段講的是人文學(xué)科的好處和必要性。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)“對(duì)人文學(xué)科的辯護(hù)出現(xiàn)了”引出下文,能夠概括本段主旨,符合語(yǔ)境。空后的“Essays explain why we need these subjects, and what their loss will mean.”對(duì)應(yīng)C項(xiàng)中的Defenses。故選C。defense也可寫作defence,意為“辯護(hù);辯解;防御;保護(hù);防御物;防守”。
易錯(cuò)分析
　　本題易錯(cuò)選F項(xiàng)。F項(xiàng)(它幫助我們學(xué)會(huì)如何思考和生活在一個(gè)和諧的社會(huì))看起來(lái)也是在說(shuō)人文學(xué)科的好處,但F項(xiàng)的主語(yǔ)是It,而本空位于句首,空前沒(méi)有與It對(duì)應(yīng)的內(nèi)容,上文沒(méi)提到的事物不能用代詞指代,故排除F項(xiàng)。
4.G　過(guò)渡句。根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容“我認(rèn)為人文學(xué)科不是可以讓你成為一個(gè)體面的人”以及空后內(nèi)容“學(xué)習(xí)哲學(xué)可以教會(huì)我們了解前人;學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)使我們更接近與我們共同生活在這個(gè)星球上的人;學(xué)習(xí)人文學(xué)科可以觸及我們稱之為智力和心靈的意識(shí)領(lǐng)域”可知,空前是人文學(xué)科的不足之處,空后是人文學(xué)科的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知G項(xiàng)“但它們可以擴(kuò)展我們對(duì)人類所能完成和創(chuàng)造的東西的認(rèn)識(shí)”與上文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折,進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明作者對(duì)于人文學(xué)科的看法,同時(shí)引出后文對(duì)“人文學(xué)科如何擴(kuò)展我們的認(rèn)識(shí)”的介紹,說(shuō)明雖然人文學(xué)科可能無(wú)法讓我們過(guò)得體面,但它們可以開闊我們的眼界,擴(kuò)大我們的認(rèn)知范圍,承上啟下,符合語(yǔ)境。G項(xiàng)中的But是關(guān)鍵詞,說(shuō)明前后的邏輯關(guān)系;G項(xiàng)中的they指代前文中的the humanities;空后的三句是對(duì)G項(xiàng)中“they can expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create”的具體解釋。故選G。
5.E　細(xì)節(jié)句。根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知,E項(xiàng)“因此,人文學(xué)科的課程是有益的”符合語(yǔ)境,與上文構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。故選E。beneficial 意為“有益處的”。
