Helga Stentzel’s Clothesline Animals combine charming images as fine art prints in various sizes.
As an artist whose style she calls “household surrealism (超现实主义)”，she works in various media and
has a large collection of works. Instead of throwing an old pair of pants or T-shirt away, Helga Stentzel puts her
tired garments out to the farm. By hanging them on a simple clothesline she sets up and folding them artfully that
look like animals, she takes wonderful pictures. Some are shot in real locations while others are digitally placed
in environments in charming form with appealing colors.
Siberian-born Stentzel has cooperated with many respectable and well-known brands, one of which is Hogar
Verde, a bio-friendly laundry products brand in Ecuador. For them she has created the adorable clothing illusions
(错觉) for a print ad campaign，which also drew attention to the endangered animals shown within, like
dinosaurs, polar bears and so on.
Stentzel’s practice started from her childhood in Siberia, where she spent hours surveying her grandmother’s
carpet, woods and random objects for recognizable forms, including a pile of buckets looking like the Leaning
Tower of Pisa.
In what seems a very simple gesture, Stentzel’s works employ household items and turn them into surrealist
images that uncover different reading layers. From food to clothes, the artist is inspired by everyday objects and
gives them a second life through her creative and really poetic personal angle.
“I stare at things longer than socially acceptable! It can be anything—a chair, a noodle hanging off the fork,
a lamp post in the middle of the road. Observation is a form of thinking for me. I really enjoy studying colors,
shapes and textures—with no expectation, simply admiring their unique beauty. Very often there’s nothing more to
it, but sometimes BOOM!—a creative idea hits my brain, and it makes a link between sliced bread and wrinkled
skin of a French bulldog. It’s very unpredictable,”Stentzel said.
5．What is Stentzel’s source of inspiration?
A．Daily items. B．Tourist attractions.
C．Random surveys. D．Childhood adventures.
6．Which of the following can best describe Stentzel’s fine art prints?
A．Complex and digital. B．Meaningful and creative.
C．Poetic but commercial. D．Ordinary but bio-friendly.
7．What can we learn from Stentzel’s story?A．Art can give people a second life.
B．Artworks are from life yet above life.
C．Creation is from intentional observation.
D．Cooperation results in adorable artworks.
【答案】 5．A 6．B 7．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍Stentzel的“有意义、有创造性的”美术版画。从Stentzel的故事中
了解到“艺术作品来源于生活，但又高于生活。”
5．推理判断题。根据第四段“Stentzel’s practice started from her childhood in Siberia, where she spent hours
surveying her grandmother’s carpet, woods and random objects for recognizable forms, including a pile of buckets
looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.（Stentzel的实践始于她在西伯利亚的童年，在那里她花了几个小时研
究她祖母的地毯、树林和随机物体，以寻找可识别的形式，包括一堆看起来像比萨斜塔的水桶。）”可
知，Stentzel的灵感来源是日常生活用品。故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I stare at things longer than socially acceptable! It can be anything—a chair,
a noodle hanging off the fork,a lamp post in the middle of the road. Observation is a form of thinking for me. I
really enjoy studying colors, shapes and textures—with no expectation, simply admiring their unique beauty. Very
often there’s nothing more to it,but sometimes BOOM!—a creative idea hits my brain, and it makes a link between
sliced bread and wrinkled skin of a French bulldog. It’s very unpredictable（我盯着东西看的时间超过了社会所
能接受的时间!它可以是任何东西——一把椅子，一根挂在叉子上的面条，路中间的一根灯柱。对我来说，
观察是一种思考方式。我真的很喜欢研究颜色、形状和纹理——没有任何期望，只是欣赏它们独特的美。
通常没有更多的东西，但有时BOOM!一个创造性的想法突然出现在我的脑海里，它把切片面包和皱巴巴
的法国斗牛犬的皮肤联系在了一起。这是不可预测的）”可知，“有意义和创造性”最能描述Stentzel的
美术版画。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据第一段“Helga Stentzel’s Clothesline Animals combine charming images as fine art prints
in various sizes.（Helga Stentzel的晾衣绳动物结合了各种尺寸的迷人图像作为精美的艺术印刷品。）”和
最后一段中“I stare at things longer than socially acceptable! It can be anything—a chair, a noodle hanging off the
fork,a lamp post in the middle of the road. Observation is a form of thinking for me. I really enjoy studying colors,
shapes and textures—with no expectation, simply admiring their unique beauty. Very often there’s nothing more to
it,but sometimes BOOM!—a creative idea hits my brain, and it makes a link between sliced bread and wrinkled
skin of a French bulldog. It’s very unpredictable（我盯着东西看的时间超过了社会所能接受的时间!它可以是
任何东西——一把椅子，一根挂在叉子上的面条，路中间的一根灯柱。对我来说，观察是一种思考方式。

但有时BOOM!一个创造性的想法突然出现在我的脑海里，它把切片面包和皱巴巴的法国斗牛犬的皮肤联
系在了一起。这是不可预测的）”可知，我们能从Stentzel的故事中了解到“艺术作品来源于生活，但又
高于生活。”故选B。

The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward.Starks, who works two receptionist jobs, also braids hair part-time. “The hair-braiding process involves washing,
blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies —
including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from $150 to $400
at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,” Stacks explained. “But it can last for months and is a huge timesaver
in the mornings.”
What does Starks say about hair braiding?
A．It’s a bit dear. B．It’s time-wasting.
C．It’s an easy job. D．It’s a mother’s duty.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段Starks的话“The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying,

combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from$150 to $400 at a salon
(美发厅), depending on the style,”（编发过程包括清洗、吹干，最后将头发分成小块编发。它还需要多种用
品，包括梳子、刷子、发卡和额外的头发来编织。费用从150美元到400美元沙龙(美发厅)，根据不同的
风格）可推知，编辫子并不是简单的事情，还有一点小贵。故选A项。
3. （2023年湖北华中师大一附中模拟预测）
I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from.
After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a
Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some
phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with
twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office
weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start anew day. Eventually, all
the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased
personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
46．Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A．To arrange an interview. B．To make an advertisement.
C．To employ more clerks. D．To get a position.
47．Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?

morning to start anew day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top
sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure
income, promotion and numerous sales awards.(最初的几个月很艰难。我靠很少的佣金生活。一夜又一夜，我疲惫不堪地离开办公室，准备放弃，但第二天早上又不知怎么地回来，开始新的一天。最终，所有的努力
都得到了回报。在不到四年的时间里，我成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一，个人销售额增长了
1700%。这次成功为我赢得了六位数的收入、晋升和无数的销售奖励)”可知，作者最初的几个月很艰难，
只能靠很少的佣金生活，但在不到四年的时间里，作者成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一。由此推知，
作者虽然过得艰难，但是也很有能力。故选C项。

I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out
whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived
story, but to say “yes, and.”
What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?
A．They should attend the improvisation class.
B．They should question all preconceived ideas.
C．They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D．They should try to improve their academic knowledge.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据本段关键句“If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether
rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to
say “yes, and.””（如果数据显示犀牛是图书管理员，那么就有必要了解犀牛是否是图书管理员。作为科学
家，我们的工作不是去挑战支持一个事先形成的描述的数据，而是说“yes, and”）可知，作者认为面对之
前的科学数据，我们的工作并不是去挑战它，而是要接受它，并继续研究，探索真伪，由此可知，从最后
一段可以推断出科学家应该通过接受早期数据进行研究。故选C项。
5. （2023年湖南长沙雅礼中学二模）

While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place home. At a party
with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn’t stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent
and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me. Complaining may offer relief, but so does
acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation.
When I get home, I stand on my balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely
nothing to complain about.
What does the author realize in the end?
A．Every day is beautiful. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Nowadays, bamboo growth cycles and the dietary needs of lemurs (狐猴) are out of sync. Findings show
rainfalls are changing annually. Over the past two years, there has been a three-month delay in the rainy season and
new tender shoots that lemurs consume for nutrition are appearing in January and February—14 days after the first
rainfall, says Patricia Chapple Wright, a primatologist, anthropologist, and conservationist at Stony Brook
University. “Lemurs eat a food source that is very adaptive,” Patricia Wright told PBS NewsHour. “It’s able to
stand climate change, but the lemurs, unfortunately, can’t adapt quickly to this changed cycle.”
What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A．Go with each other. B．Occur at different times.
C．Lead to a heated discussion. D．Call for effective protection.

Patricia Chapple Wright在接受PBS新闻一小时节目采访时表示：“狐猴的食物来源非常适应。”“它能够
忍受气候变化，但不幸的是，狐猴不能迅速适应这种变化的周期。”)”可以推断在过去的两年里，雨季推
迟了三个月，所以狐猴用来补充营养的嫩芽出现的时间就比以往晚了，这就导致嫩芽的出现和狐猴需要食
物的时间对不上了，所划线部分的意思是竹子的生长周期和狐猴的饮食需求是不同步的。故选B项。

15.（2023届辽宁省沈阳市等3地高三三模试题）
I was in a new state at a new school and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also
needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I
struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my
hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left,
having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine
from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped aninch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer
No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through
Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they’d
just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living
as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some
delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do
laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other
had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.
I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.
5．Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No.8?
A．She was warm-hearted. B．She needed a volunteer.
C．She wanted to thank him. D．She was sorry for the mess.
6．What did Sandy think of a career in poetry?
A．It was harder to fulfill. B．It was really fascinating.
C．It was badly-paid work. D．It needed a lot of effort.
7．What can be inferred about the author from the passage?
A．He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B．He made a lot of friends in college.
C．He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D．He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.
【答案】5．C 6．C 7．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者来到了一个新的地方后，总觉得这个新的地方没有给自
己家的感觉，经过了三年的时间，作者终于找到了归属感。
5.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d
helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the
washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.
The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.(一个月后，我才知道她的名字叫Sandy，是在我帮她
阻止一台洗衣机在地板上移动后，她告诉我的。当时我正在桌子旁批改诗歌，突然一个洗衣机松开了，飞
到空中一英寸。我跳到洗衣机前，抓住不放，她拔下插头。第二个星期，Sandy告诉我8号烘干机是最快
的)”可推知，Sandy告诉我8号烘干机最快是因为她想对作者表达感谢。故选C。
6. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a
laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.(她开玩笑说，当诗人比当洗衣工更难谋生。即使那
时我也知道她可能是对的)”可推知，Sandy认为诗人的待遇太差。故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and
almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there.
We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.(但Sandy是我生活的中心。在将近三年的时间
里，几乎每个星期，我都会一边洗衣服一边和她聊天。我们互相查看对方在不在，并期望对方在那里。当我们错过一个星期的时候，我们会问对方去了哪里)”可推知，作者和Sandy之间建立了亲密的友谊。故选
A。

In a follow-up study with 100 university students the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group
members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did
they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant
response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together.” Somehow,
these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have
limitations and many questions remain the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are
enormous.
14. What did the follow-up study focus on?
A. The size of the groups. B. The dominant members.

Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page
outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as
any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pagesparted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly
networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance
of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.
31. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?
A. The printed book is not totally out of date.
B. Technology has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D. People now rarely have the patience to read.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader (它仍然像

“off-line” activity (印刷书籍仍然提供了完全私人的“离线”活动的机会)”可推知，本文作者提到电子阅读
器想表达的是印刷书籍并没有完全过时。故选A。

One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英)
rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to
photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We
managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the
route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting
lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots
though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
25. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?
A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques.
C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles.

A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.

It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-
and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported
that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers
would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students
applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what
people think about cooking.
