In the world of contemporary art, there are artists whose creativity and originality challenge
the established boundaries, attracting the public with their wisdom. One of these innovators is
the famous Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, whose art installations (装置艺术) leave everyone
speechless.
With an imaginative mind and an unconventional approach, Cai Guo-Qiang has become a
master of fireworks display, employing the gunpowder of fireworks in his art in a truly
extraordinary way. Through the mastery of said material and the explosions controlled, Cai
creates installations that go beyond expectations and take the public on an unforgettable journey.
One of his most important creations is the installation titled “The rise of butterflies”. In this
work, Cai uses a combination of gunpowder and paper to create a striking cloud of flying
butterflies. The delicate winged creatures move back and forth in the air, creating a magical and
ephemeral effect that goes against the laws of gravity.
But perhaps one of the most curious and daring installations of Cai Guo-Qiang is “The
garden of ephemeral sculptures”. In this work, the artist uses controlled explosives to sculpt
shapes in huge blocks of ice. As the explosions occur, the icy figures gradually transform,
creating an ephemeral and ever-changing scene. It is as if the sculptures come alive for a brief
moment before disappearing completely.
Cai Guo-Qiang is an artist who breaks the limits of imagination. His installations transport
us to a world of magic, where fire and gunpowder become tools for creation. He combines
aesthetic (审美的) beauty with unusual elements, making his works unique and fascinating.
Without a doubt, Cai’s impact on contemporary art is undeniable. His installations have attracted
audiences around the world and will inspire future generations to break free and find beauty in

5. What does the word “ephemeral” mean in the passage?
A. Unique. B. Short-lived.
C. Unconventional. D. Breath-taking.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Cai’s impact on art is unpredictable.
B. Cai’s success results from global recognition.
C. Cai’s art changes traditional concept of beauty.
D. Cai’s art inspires artists to think outside the box.
7. What is the text most likely to be?

The world’s largest whales are more than just astonishing creatures. Much like the ocean,
soil and forests, whales can help save humans from the increasing climate crisis by storing
carbon. In a paper published recently, climate researchers suggest that whales are important, but
often overlooked, carbon sinks.
The enormous size of these marine mammals, which can reach 150 tons, means they can
高三英语试题 第4 页（共 12 页）
store carbon much more effectively than smaller animals. And because whales live longer than
most animals, they could be “one of the largest stable living carbon pools” in the ocean. Even
when whales die, their dead bodies fall down to the deepest parts of the sea and settle on the
seafloor, trapping the carbon they’ve stored in their bodies. An indirect way whales can be
critical carbon sinks is through their waste. Whale poop (粪便) is rich in nutrients which can be
taken up by phytoplankton — tiny organisms that suck up carbon dioxide as they grow.
The process of carbon sequestration helps reduce climate impact, because it locks away
carbon that otherwise would have warmed the planet somewhere else for hundreds, if not
thousands of years.
Yet whales are threatened, with six out of 13 great whale species classified as endangered
or vulnerable due to threats including industrial whaling, as well as trap in fishing equipment,
climate change-caused shifts in prey availability, noise pollution and more.
Heidi Pearson, a researcher at the University of Alaska Southeast, said the research shows
that protecting whales has a double benefit — helping to stop the biodiversity crisis as well as
human-caused climate change. Protecting whales is a low risk and low regret strategy, because
there’s really no downside. She said there was no risk to this strategy compared to other
untested, expensive solutions to capturing and trapping carbon, such as geoengineering.
But there remain big gaps in knowledge to fully determine how whale carbon should be
used to slow down climate changes. Pearson hopes the current paper pushes policymakers to
consider whales as a significant part of climate change solution.
8. What does paragraph 2 focus on about whales?
A. What their life cycles are like.
B. Why their roles are overlooked.
C. Why they are called carbon sinks.
D. Where they are on the food chain.
9. What does the underlined “it” refer to?
A. The waste of whales. B. The carbon trap of whales.
C. The death of whales. D. The carbon cycle in nature.

11. What is the purpose of the text?

C. To present a new reason for protecting whales.
D. To stress the need of addressing climate changes.

College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program
that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question
how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why
spend so much time learning writing in school?
In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence
structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts
into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy
writing or need to do a lot of it for work.
Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your
words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist.
When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary
assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects.
Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific
purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the
audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should
give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the
closest friend, is listening to our talk.
高三英语试题 第6 页（共 12 页）
When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a
stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt
reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique,
naming the problem provided a deeper understanding.
It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the
writing tasks that students learn in school. But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to
empathize (共情) with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever to
communicate with them.
12. What is teachers’ concern about ChatGPT?
A. It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching.
B. It’s hard to grade a paper written by it.
C. It limits students’ imagination and creativity.
D. It questions the necessity of teaching writing.
13. What does the author think of learning to write?
A. It helps with logical thinking.
B. It is a basic skill for everyone.
C. It focuses on correct expression.
D. It is closely related to social skills.
14. What makes writing effective according to the text?
A. Expressing oneself. B. Targeting intended readers.
C. Conveying imaginative ideas. D. Creating attractive characters.
15. What may be a suitable title for the text?
A. What AI Can’t Teach the Writing Students
B. ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional Writing
C. Never Lose the Capacity for Empathy

Actions speak louder than words — unless, of course, your partner’s love language is
“words of affirmation (肯定).” 16 .
Words of affirmation are words that communicate your love, appreciation, and respect for
another person. 17 What’s more, these words of encouragement don’t have to be said
directly to the person. A simple hand-written note is appreciated just as much as a personal
phone call.
People who give and receive love through words of affirmation tend to be the people who
notice and care about the details of other people’s lives. 18 They also remember to ask the
neighbor how their sick dog is doing. They may even remember to ask the cashier at the local
supermarket if they are feeling any better.
19 For a person who tends to place a great deal of importance on what their partner
says, hearing words of affirmation can help them to feel valued, satisfied, and happier in a
relationship. By using words of affirmation in your relationship, you are strengthening
communication between you and your partner. 20 When your partner feels appreciated,
they are likely to experience a deeper satisfaction with themselves and with the relationship.
Offering your partner an encouraging word can have a positive impact on you, too. Studies link
giving compliments (赞美) with a greater sense of well-being.
Then why not make words of affirmation a habit?
A. In this case, words are everything.
B. How do words of affirmation make a difference?
C. What are the tips for using words of affirmation?
D. They’re positive words and phrases used to uplift someone.
E. You are showing your partner that you notice and appreciate them.
F. They will likely feel a boost in spirit and appreciate you for noticing.
G. For instance, they may be the first to notice their partner’s new haircut.

Hanfu was the standard dress code for people during the Han Dynasty and was worn by
both men and women. The clothing is characterized by its long robes, wide sleeves, and 36
(flow) skirts and the designs are often inspired by nature, with flower patterns and images of
birds and animals.

social media 39 (platform) and its appeal among younger generations as a form of cultural
identity. 40 (additional), the historical significance and pride 41 (associate) with
Hanfu has led to increased interest and demand for authentic clothing pieces. Furthermore,
modern adaptations and variations of Hanfu have made 42 more accessible and appealing
