The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions（解决）. Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller's Ode to Joy（欢乐颂）. Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.（1）What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A.It brings people inner peace.B.It contributes to problem-solving.C.It reduces the possibility of crises.D.It deepens understanding of music.（2）What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A.It celebrates freedom and unity.B.It aims to show crises and chaos.C.It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D.It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.（3）What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A.Leaving things as they are.B.Making a choice between them.C.Separating them from each other.D.Engaging them in a conversation.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How COVID-19 changes artB.Essentials of Symphony No. 9C.Moving artfully through crisesD.Joy in the eyes of BeethovenC.expressD.give opinions publicly（2）How do clams work while protecting city's drinking water?A.They refuse to drink the water when it is contaminated.B.They close their shells when faced with pollutants.C.They remind the computer operator to cut off the water supply.D.They deal with the polluted water immediately.（3）What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A.To advise people to protect clams.B.To introduce a film about clams.C.To show people how to protect themselves.D.To warn people clams are harmful to mental health.（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of clean drinking water.B.The basic ways to fight pollution.C.What we can do to protect clams.D.How clams fight pollution.（1）What is the real purpose of Girls Takeover?A.Asking boys to treat girls equally.B.Guaranteeing girls well-paid jobs.C.Focusing on the rights of girls.D.Promoting girls to be vital leaders.（2）What did Aava stress in her Wednesday's speech?A.Actions for climate change.B.Protection of human rights.C.The inequality in technology.D.The bad results of being poor.（3）Which of the following best describes Aava?A.Generous.B.Ambitious.C.Flexible.D.Creative.（4）What does the underlined word "harassed" in the last paragraph mean?A.Annoyed continually.B.Self-discouraged.C.Confused sometimes.D.Absent-minded.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）6. 假定你是李华，上周参观了一个机器人展览。

However,Dad also said the sounds of wild creatures would help us sleep.That sounded worrying—until the"wild creatures"turned out to be frogs!So I was embarrassed by my fears and kept awake by the frogs!But we had fun making meals together.In fact,this whole trip was fantastic!4．How did the author's family choose to travel at last?A．By car.B．By bike.C．By boat.D．By bus.5．How did the author feel when he saw the kangaroo at first?A．A little excited.B．A little proud.C．A little afraid.D．A little upset.6．When the author was sleeping at night,he.A．heard the sound of frogsB．was a little coldC．dreamed of some famous placesD．was scared by a dangerous wild animal7．Which of the following words might the author use to describe his trip?A．Long.B．Wonderful.C．Cheap.D．Boring.阅读理解Dancing to loud music in open spaces has been a popular way for many middle-aged and elderly Chinese people to relax and exercise.But public dancing has long been complained about because of the noise it makes.Recently,with the help of a new device,people living near Gumei Population Cultural Park in Shanghai can now better enjoy themselves in public dancing without causing trouble for others with the loud music.Set in a white box,the device is an amplifier that can send sound in a certain ing new technology,the device controls the sound in a fan-shaped area in front of the speaker.People outside the area can hardly hear any sound."The device is age-friendly and it's easy to use,"said Li Honglin from the company that made the device.The device is locked when not in use and the dancers take turns to keep the key.Zhang Fengling,who lives in a community next to the park,said she's glad she can now open her windows in the evening.Gu Xinzhen,92,who has been dancing in the park for over ten years,said the music from the new speaker is not as loud as before,which makes dancing a little less fun,but she is glad to do something for a better living environment.Five public dancing locations in the city have also used the device.What's more,in Suzhou,Jiangsu Province, over1,000public dancing locations have used similar technology."The technology will be introduced to more places," Li said.8．Why is the new device used in Gumei Population Cultural Park in Shanghai?A．To record the beauty of public dancing.B．To collect people's ideas about public dancing.C．To solve the problem caused by public dancing.D．To play the most popular music for public dancing.9．What are the advantages of the new device?①safe②age-friendly③easy to use④easy to carryA．①②B．②③C．②④D．③④10．How does the author explain how people like the new device?A．By listing numbers.B．By comparing facts.C．By telling stories.D．By giving examples.11．What can we learn from the text?A．Technology changes life.B．Exercise improves health.C．Noise pollution is harmful.D．Good relationships don't come easy.阅读理解Many cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics.Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well.California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes.The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting(堆制肥料).Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels,coffee grounds,tea bags,and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted.Meat,fish,and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.According to environmental groups,composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills(垃圾填埋池), and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients.When compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields,it helps crops grow.Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws."Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking."Renee Crowley,a project manager said.Officials in Seattle,Washington,say that food waste makes up30%of the trash going into landfills,and they are looking to reduce that percentage.That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste.It is banned from all garbage.There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law,there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for composting.Many schools and colleges have also started composting programs.Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the composting process is costly.In addition,it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they don't have access to outside storage bins.Patti Ferguson from Orange County,California,told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.12．What do we know about composting from the text?A．It is cheap to compost food waste.B．Not all food waste can be reused.C．Not all soil can be composted.D．It is usually processed in empty landfills.13．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Ways of keeping nutrients in the soil.B．Ways of reducing the amount of trash.C．Benefits of recycling food waste.D．Examples of different useful nutrients.14．In Seattle throwing food waste into garbage is____.A．illegal B．shameful C．required D．acceptable15．Patti Ferguson's attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably____.A．thankful B．supportive C．uncaring D．negative二、第一部分阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

From ancient times, humans have been looking up at the stars, trying to understand their patterns and meanings. The advancements in technology have allowed us to explore the cosmos more deeply, discovering new planets, stars, and celestial bodies. One of the most intriguing areas of study in astronomy is black holes, mysterious regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape.The concept of black holes was first proposed by a physicist named Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. Schwarzschild was studying Einstein’s theory of general relativity and realized that certain conditions could lead to regions of space with extremely strong gravity. These regions would be so dense that nothing could escape, not even light. He named these regions “black holes.”Black holes are formed in the most extreme conditions of the universe. When a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle, it can undergo a supernovaexplosion. If the core of the star is sufficiently dense, it will collapse under its own gravity and form a black hole. The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that it can pull in nearby stars and even entire galaxies.One of the most famous black holes is located in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, called Sagittarius A. Scientists have been studying this black hole for decades, using various telescopes and instruments to gather data. The study of Sagittarius A has helped us understand more about the properties of black holes and their role in the universe.1、What is the main topic of the passage?A. The history of astronomyB. The discovery of black holesC. The formation of starsD. The study of our Milky Way galaxy2、Who first proposed the concept of black holes?A. Karl SchwarzschildB. Albert EinsteinC. Johannes KeplerD. Galileo Galilei3、What are black holes formed from?A. Dwarf starsB. Supernova explosionsC. Gas cloudsD. Neutron stars4、What has the study of Sagittarius A* helped us understand?A.
