1. 阅读短文,回答问题
Throughout history, there have been sculptors prized for their willingness to push boundaries.Without their contributions, it would be difficult to imagine visual art as we now know it.Here are several pioneers.
Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598~1680)
As a master of materials, Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini is known for his astonishing ability to create movement and bring forth emotion with his work.In his masterpiece, Plu to and Perse, the rough and cold stone has been turned into flesh that looks so real and soft that you just want to reach out and touch it.
Henry Moore (1898~1986)
Known for his abstract public sculpture, British artist Henry Moore's works most often focus on the theme of mother and child, who usually sit or lie in a relaxed way, with their bodies leaning backwards Moore's figures are often composed of multiple pieces, yet his clean lines allow viewers to effectively see the figures within the abstract form.Such features are very obvious in his master piece Mother and Child.
Louise Bourgeois (1911~2010)
Most well-known for her public art, French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois rose to international fame in 1982 after the Museum of Modern Art held her first exhibit.By this time, she was already in her 70s.Drawing from her own life experience, her sculptures often explore themes of family and death.In her representative work, Maman, Bourgeois has used a spider to stand for her mother, who died when she was a child, to show her strength and protection over her family.

This realization inspired Li Yuan to create the video account "Laikansuba" (meaning "Read Along"), where she and her team reinterpret classic literary works from Chinese textbooks.Li, 26, a digital media graduate from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, serves as the team's director.The idea first came to her during a family trip last year to send her younger brother off to college.At the university, she noticed many out-of-town parents doing the same—watching their children take a big step into adulthood.
This scene reminded Li of "The View of Father's Back" (背影), an essay from her middle school Chinese textbook.Written in 1925 by Zhu Ziqing (1898-1948), the piece recounts the author's departure for Peking University, with the most memorable image being his aging father climbing up and down the train station platform to buy him oranges.
"It was amazing to see how real life connected with something I had read in a textbook, " Li said.This inspiration became Laikansuba's first short film, where Li reimagined the protagonist as a girl reflecting on her own father-daughter relationship. " The core idea, however, remains the same, " she explained.The video resonated deeply with young audiences, garnering over 80 million views across Chinese social media platforms.Encouraged by this success, the team launched an ongoing series offering fresh interpretations of textbook classics, attracting over 2.5 million followers in under a year—mostly viewers aged 18-23.
All young protagonists are portrayed by 26-year-old Shu Jiahui.Despite graduating with a software engineering degree from Yibin University and having no formal acting training, Shu developed her passion through internships and self-exploration.It was this raw authenticity that caught Li's attention, as she found many trained young actors delivered rehearsed performances lacking genuine emotion.She found that many trained young actors tended to deliver rehearsed and predictable performances, lacking the authenticity she was looking for.
"I want to make videos that bridge literature with real-life experiences, " Li explained. "I hope to help viewers rediscover emotions they may not have fully grasped as students, and offer new perspectives shaped by time and personal growth."
(1)、What inspired Li Yuan to start the video account "Laikansuba"?A、Her passion for digital media B、A family trip to send her brother to college C、Her background in software engineering D、The success of her first short film(2)、The phrase "resonated deeply" in the passage most probably means "____".A、caused a strong reaction B、created a lot of confusion C、had little effect D、made no sense(3)、According to the passage, what is the main reason Li Yuan believes her videos are successful?A、The use of high-quality digital media B、The connection between literature and real-life experiences C、The popularity of classic literature among young people D、The professional acting skills of the cast(4)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、The importance of classic literature in modern society B、The influence of family relationships on personal growth C、The reinterpretation of classic literature through modern perspectives D、The challenges faced by young people entering adulthood3. 阅读短文,回答问题Recently, I was extended an invitation to venture towards the northern region for a preliminary glimpse of Dundreggan Rewilding Center, which is on the verge of being fully accessible to the public.Individuals who manage to arrive for the opening weekend will have the opportunity to partake in complimentary events, which encompass guided walks, tours of the tree nursery, storytelling sessions, a plethora of amusement for children, and activities orchestrated by naturalist Nick Baker and the adept in tracks and signs, Dan Puplett.
We proceeded to peruse the newly constructed, architect-designed center.The edifice incorporates a multitude of sustainable characteristics, including solar panels and reclaimed wood furniture in the cafe area. This constitutes one of two novel buildings, the other of which is reputed to provide accessible accommodation for those harboring the desire to engage in a more prolonged rewilding experience.
Upon entering the building, the initial object that met our eyes was a sculpture-the creation of local artist Helen Denerley. The sculpture portrays a tree teeming with numerous native animals, fashioned from reclaimed metal.From that vantage point, we were afforded views of the other areas-classrooms, event spaces, the cafe and vivacious information panels dispersed throughout, conveying details about rewilding, the interconnection of forest ecosystems, local wildlife, and so forth.
As our guide aptly emphasized, the building merely serves as the point of departure-the locale from which individuals can diverge to uncover a great deal more along a series of accessible trails and more intrepid hikes within the surrounding terrain.
One pivotal focus for this endeavor is undoubtedly the community, in addition to rewilding. It commemorates the local Gaelic heritage and history, as well as wildlife, woodlands, and natural marvels.Briefly conversing with two amiable and hospitable employees working in the cafe, who were among the 20 locals bestowed with new employment opportunities courtesy of the project, their fervor for the new center and eagerness to contribute to its inception were palpable.
(1)、What can visitors expect during the opening weekend of Dundreggan Rewilding Center?A、Paid exclusive tours B、Free events such as guided walks and storytelling sessions C、Limited activities for children D、Expert-led activities on tracks and signs only(2)、How does the passage describe the relationship between the Dundreggan Rewilding Center and the local community?A、The center is indifferent to the local community. B、The center actively engages with and supports the local community. C、The center competes with local businesses for resources. D、The center is only accessible to tourists.(3)、What is the author's attitude towards the Dundreggan Rewilding Center?A、Critical and disapproving B、Neutral and objective C、Enthusiastic and supportive D、Indifferent and uninterested(4)、What is the main purpose of the passage?A、To describe the architecture of Dundreggan Rewilding Center B、To introduce Dundreggan Rewilding Center and its activities C、To explain the sustainable features of the center's buildings D、To highlight the employment opportunities created by the project4. 阅读短文,回答问题The launch of DeepSeek-V3 in January 2025 by the fast-growing Chinese AI company DeepSeek has captured global attention.This cutting-edge AI model offers superior performance in programming, mathematics, and medical analysis at significantly lower costs compared to competitors like ChatGPT.Its affordability and efficiency have sparked discussions about whether cost-effective technology can surpass more expensive rivals, potentially reshaping the future of the AI industry.

There is a hidden secret in the front wheel design of supermarket shopping carts—two of the four wheels are slightly tilted. This "caster" design prevents sudden turns during straight-line rolling but requires the user to continuously apply lateral pressure. Engineers have found that when the shopping cart is loaded with more than 23kg, this design can reduce side-flipping accidents by 37%.
You might not know that . Inverting fresh strawberries in a breathable cardboard box can extend their shelf life by three days. Experiments have shown that the mold growth rate on the strawberry surface in contact with the container is 2.4 times faster than that on the suspended surface, which is related to the difference in the density distribution of the fruit's epidermal wax layer.
. The most durable key on a standard keyboard is actually the number "5," which can withstand an average of 15 million presses, while the space bar has a lifespan of only 3 million presses. This is because frequent use has prompted manufacturers to install titanium alloy supports inside the "5" key, a design that originated from a 1987 typewriter anti-jamming patent.
When heating food in a microwave, . Placing a cup of water in the center can increase the uniformity of heating by 62%. This trick is based on the principle of microwave standing waves—the dielectric constant of water can effectively balance the distribution of the electromagnetic field, avoiding cold and hot spots.
. In fact, turning off the Wi-Fi router at night is more power-consuming. The instantaneous power during the reboot process is 18 times that of the standby state. The annual power consumption of continuous standby is equivalent to only five hours of reboot power consumption. This counterintuitive phenomenon is related to the charging and discharging characteristics of the power module's capacitors.
A. The green indicator light of the router in standby mode consumes about 1.2 kWh per year.
B. Banana peels can effectively delay the ripening of other fruits.
C. The numeric keypad applied backlight technology earlier than the main keyboard area.
D. Inverting the storage of berries can reduce mold growth.
E. Placing metal utensils in the corner can speed up the heating process.
F. Pushing the shopping cart diagonally is more ergonomic.
G. Placing a cup of water in the center can optimize microwave heating.

9. 书面表达As the solar orb descended beneath the horizon, suffusing the tranquil municipality with a mellifluous aureate radiance, Emily remained seated upon the periphery of her resting apparatus, her gaze fixated upon the unblemished folio within her personal chronicle. Perennially a paragon of scholarly diligence, achieving preeminence in both academic pursuits and supplementary endeavors, she had recently been besieged by an escalating sensation of disquietude, as though an ineffable lacuna persisted—an absence she could not precisely articulate. Emitting a profound exhalation, she rhythmically percussed her writing instrument against the parchment, ultimately resolving to embark upon an ambulatory sojourn to ameliorate her cognitive disarray.
The crepuscular zephyr, imbued with a refreshing crispness, caressed her countenance as she meandered through the well-trodden thoroughfares of her residential district. Traversing past the recreational greensward of her juvenile frolics, the bibliotheca that had borne witness to innumerable horas of studious exertion, and the establishment of caffeinated beverages wherein she and her compatriots would convene post-scholarly obligations, each locale evoked a cascade of reminiscences, yet simultaneously served as a mnemonic catalyst for the ponderous burden of anticipations she had been shouldering—anticipations emanating from parental figures, pedagogical authorities, and even her own psyche. Hitherto, she had been ubiquitously regarded as the "flawless" disciple, the individual who perpetually eschewed errancy, the one who invariably manifested infallible discernment. Yet now, she found herself ensnared in a labyrinth of existential perplexity.
During her perambulation, her ocular faculties alighted upon a diminutive, timeworn establishment dedicated to literary commerce, inconspicuously nestled within an hitherto unexplored alcove. The signage adorning the portal proclaimed, "The Odyssey Inward." Intrigued, Emily exerted pressure upon the ingress, effecting its aperture, and proceeded to cross the threshold. The atmosphere within was permeated by the olfactory amalgamation of antiquated tomes and the subdued reverberations of a gramophonic apparatus emanating from an indeterminate locus. The repositories of knowledge were arrayed with volumes of heterogeneous dimensions and configurations, their dorsal adornments exhibiting the patina of protracted utilization. Emily's visual perception was irresistibly drawn toward a specific opus, its titulation declaring The Fortitude to Embrace Defectiveness. Upon securing the tome, she commenced perusal.
The manuscript expounded upon the paramount significance of acquiescing to one's own deficiencies, the art of cultivating vulnerability as a virtue, and the derivation of potency from imperfection. As Emily meticulously advanced through the paginal sequence, an overwhelming sensation of catharsis inundated her consciousness. For the inaugural instance, she attained the epiphany that the absence of omniscience was permissible, that the commission of fallacies was not anathema, and that the trajectory of personal augmentation frequently emanated from those interludes wherein predestined designs deviated from their intended course.
注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life.
As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled.
