This is e51．true in the case of miniature art(微型艺术), where, upon close observation, great things are often revealed. The National Gallery of London describes “an artist who paints in great details on a very small scale” as a miniaturist. The pieces that miniaturists create are called miniature art. E52．examples can be dated back to centuries ago in many places around the world. In India, tiny drawings were painted on to palm leaves 7.62 centimeters wide. A 12.5-millimeter-tall carving of a bird, d53．in Lingjing, China, has been called China’s oldest work of art. The carving, about 13,500 years old, might be one of the world’s oldest pieces of miniature art.Over the years, miniaturists have used many different m54．, from paper to plant seeds, to create tiny paintings, sculptures and engravings of people, animals and scenery.Two things are required of each artist: plenty of time and being p55．to create miniature art. The pieces are so tiny that they need to be worked on carefully and slowly. Though small, the pieces must be perfectly formed. Someone o56．said, “A miniature must always be designed forclose observation. It is meant to be held in the hand, watched closely and even to be looked at with a magnifying glass.” Tiny miniature paintings must be accomplished with such fine strokes(笔划) that when the piece is magnified, its amazing detail is enhanced. The same is true for miniature sculptures and all other forms of miniature art. Miniature art began to l57．its attraction in the 19th century when photography appeared. Over the last 30 years, though, miniatures have been made popular again. It is unlikely that miniature art will ever go away as long as people remain fascinated by tiny masterpieces.2021年上海市闵行区中考一模英语试题十二、短文汉语提示填空Few people know about online food delivery apps 10 years ago, but today many would find that it is hard to live w____51____ them.

They also did some fun s67．experiments. Let’s take a look at some of them.Use it or lose itThe human body grows with the pull of Earth’s gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles don’t need to s68．our body’s weight. This will cause bone and muscle loss. It is said that astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after just a couple of weeks. That is dangerous for astronauts because they will be too w69．to work.Astronauts have different ways to prevent this. During the lecture, Zhai introduced a special uniform Ye was wearing. It’s called a “penguin suit”. It can keep their muscles strong.Wang also showed students how she walked on a treadmill (跑步机) and rode a bicycle. Astronauts usually e70．with these tools every day to keep their body strong.Space water is differentDuring another experiment, Wang made a water film (膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. But this can n71．happen on Earth. Why?We need to first u72．the surface tension (表面张力) of water. Surface tension is like a “skin” of water. The “skin” is there because water molecules (分子) are drawn to each other. One example on the Earth is that some bugs (昆虫) can “walk on water”. Most of the time, gravity is too strong and it breaks the “skin”. But with zero gravity in space, the “skin” stays much stronger and the water ball will not b73．.Space water is different in many other ways from that on Earth. For example, water will not flow downward if you try to pour it into a cup. If astronauts cry, the tears will not fall down. They have to wipe them away!2021年上海市嘉定区中考一模英语试题VIII.

She spent so long painting that her hand began to h52．from holding the brush. She put the brush down for a moment to rest and looked at the painting next tohers.“That’s really good”, she said to Carrie. Carrie’s painting was small and neat. Every flower was just like the real flowers in the vase.“Thanks,” said Carrie. She looked over at Jenny’s painting. “Oh! What happened to yours?”“What do you mean?” asked Jenny. She looked at her own painting. It was very different from Carrie’s. It covered the whole page and the colors were b53．than the real flowers.“It looks like a big m54．,” said Carrie. “Did you pour the paint?”“No,” said Jenny, upset. “I painted what I saw, just like Mrs Minton said.”“It’s OK, you know,” said Carrie. “Not everyone is good at art.”Mrs Minton heard what Carrie said, and she came over to look at Jenny’s work.“Oh my,” said Mrs Minton. “I think it’s wonderful, Jenny. It’s so full of color and happiness.”Jenny was very s55．.“But Mrs Minton, it doesn’t look anything like the flowers you told us to draw.” Carrie said.“Maybe not to you, Carrie. Everyone sees different things when they look at the world.” She showed them a picture in a book of a painting. “This is a picture an artist painted of his own face. This is how he saw h56．”.“But ... but ... it’s just a few lines,” said Carrie. “It doesn’t look anything like a real person.”Mrs Minton turned to Jenny. “You should read this book. Jenny.

This problem can be frustrating（令人沮丧的）and embarrassing. F___51___, there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so f___52___ in the first place. Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation. People are better at remembering things that they want too learn. To put it simply,you’re just not that i___53___. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is morecomp licated than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make the effort tom___54___ new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you g___55___ them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few times. This type of repetition is essential for learning any typeof skill. Using a memory method, such as l___56___ individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someone’s name is Ben and he is tall, you can label him（to yourself, of course）“Big Ben.”In addition, focusing on people and listening more closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. Although forgetting name isn’t a matter of life or death, it’s uncomfortable. Putting these t___57___ into practice will help you better avoid this social discomfort.答案：2023年上海市杨浦区中考一模英语试题67．(w)ondered 68．(s)kills 69．(f)acts 70．(r)arely 71．(a)ware 72．(w)atches 73．(c)ontrol【导语】本文主要就“人类真的比动物聪明吗”这一问题展开讨论。

Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends m___1___ upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get.When summer arrives and light—colored people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not a___2____ until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun.Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and r____3____ pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a skin so pale that the veins (血管) showed was considered a mark of great beauty.During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. W___4____ for long hours in dimly—lit factories and mines made their skins pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel so sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan.

Instead of bleaching(漂白) themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sun—lamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions (涂剂) that darken the skin artificially w____6_____ exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in thesunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest—paid clerk can have w_____7___ looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.So there are three answers to the question “Where does our color come from?” It comes from the genes we inherit. It comes from the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we buy the drugstore on the corner of the street.Key :1.Mainly2.appear3.remained4.Working5.sign6.without7.what第五篇：Just in time for Double Ninth Festival, a new law states that children must visit their e___66__ parents or risk being suck(起诉).But the law isn’t meant to fill the courts with neglected(被疏忽的) parents and their negligent(疏忽的) children.
