12．（10分） British artist James Lake was 17 when his life changed dramatically.That was the year he was diagnosed with bon cancer，which resulted in the loss of his right leg.
During his recovery，Lake generated a new idea of using his creative talents to understand and process the intense experience he wa going through.He looked around his house and began making art with the resources closest to hand：old cardboard boxes and packagin that his parents had thrown away.Cutting up the cardboard and then reconstructing it，he created sculptural frames-his very first piece of art.
Fast forward 26 years and the now 43-year-old artist has made a career from that decision to"steal"his parents' recycling box as teenager.By cutting，and sticking together littered pieces of cardboard，Lake creates detailed life-size human sculptures.
"My work is about transforming an old box and giving it a new life，valuing resources，"he says."For that reason，I think it's importan that the cardboard is visible in my sculptures，and that people can still see they're made from it.My works question how we perceive an value art and all the things around us.Arc they reusable？Do we need to buy that？Can we repair It？"
By exhibiting his work in primary schools，Lake wants to show children that art is something that's attainable，created from the sam materials they play with in the classroom." I have developed a way of working wherein the materials and the method mean that art can b created anywhere：a bedroom，a garage.Great art should not only be about the materials that you use，but also about the passion an effort you put into the work."
"It's incredibly important for me to inspire a new generation of artists beyond the limit of economic barriers，"he explains."I want t create a level playing field for all，and I hope that I'm a positive role model for them，both as an artist and as a disabled person.

（2）Why does James make the cardboard visible in his sculptures？
A.To show his outstanding talent.
B.To prove art works are easy to make.
C.To stress the value of reusing resources.
D.To make his works more attractive.
（3）Which word can best describe James？

（4）Which of the following can be the best title？

13．（10分）To communicate without words，humans use a host of gestures—whether a wave to wish someone goodbye or thumbs-up to indicate approval.Now researchers have found，in a particularly polite example，the first documented evidence of symbolic gesture used by birds.Some birds seem to flutter（拍翅膀） their wings to tell their mates they should enter the nest first suggesting that the animals may communicate with a variety of gestures.
Toshitaka Suzuki at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues set up hundreds of nest boxes in a forest populated with Japanes tits（山雀） near the town of Karuizawa.Each box had a 7.5-centimetre-wide hole，just big enough for one bird to squeeze through a a time.During breeding season，the team observed 321 nest visits across eight breeding pairs，with the ti ts often bringing food for the baby birds.If a bird couple arrived at the nest together，each tit would land on a nearby branch before entering.About 40 percent of th time，the female fluttered her wings for a few seconds，with her chest facing the male This was quickly followed by the male entering th nest first，then the female.When neither bird fluttered its wings，which made up 44percent of nest visitations，the females usuall entered first.Only one male was seen repeatedly fluttering its wings，which was followed by the female entering first.Wing flutterin wasn't observed at all when each bird arrived separately.
The team believes that this discovery conflicts with earlier beliefs that only a few species use gestures to communicate."They've done really good job here of showing there is an association between this movement，this gesture，and then …the other bird doin something，"says Mike Webster，an ornithologist at Cornell University，who was not involved in the research."It's a really strong suppor to the notion that it's a symbolic gesture The bird that's the receiver knows what it means，and it does what it's supposed to do."
"We can conclude that this wing fluttering conveys' after you'."says Suzuki."This study is the first to show us clearly by evidence tha birds can use wing movements to convey a particular meaning."
（1）What is the aim of Toshutaka Suzuki's experiment？
A.To find how the birds' wings work in the wind.
B.To observe whether birds treat their mates politely.
C.To research whether birds can use symbolic gestures.
D.To prove whether birds can communicate with each other.
（2）According to paragraph 2，why do ti ts flutter their wings？
A.To show direction to the other bird.
B.To signal their mates to enter the nest.
C.To dry off their wings after flying in the rain.
D.To scare away potential predators near the nest.
（3）How do the researchers conduct the study on Japanese tits？
A.By listing some examples.
B.By reviewing previous data.
C.By observing and comparing.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
（4）What's the attitude of Mike Webster toward the study？
A.Favorable.

D.Disappointed.
14．（10分） Is social media really making young people antisocial （孤僻的）？A surprising new study finds that children and youn adults who use these platforms the most are actually more active in the real world than others!The new findings come from a long-term project called the Trondheim Early Secure Study.Researchers collected information from about 800 children and young adults when the were 10，12，14，16，and 18 years old.This included interviews about each child's use of social media from year to year.The goal was t determine if using social media affects a young person's overall social skills.
To the team's surprise，participants frequently using these platforms did not see their social skills reduced."On the contrary，we fin
that people who use social media a lot spend more time with friends offline than those who tend to limit their screen time，"say Professor Silje Steinsbekk from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Department of Psychology.
However，social media can present challenges for children and teens.Although it offers a convenient and comfortable way for thos with social anxiety to communicate，it can also lead to addiction and misuse.Studies have suggested that young people with anxiety ar more easily affected by the negative effects of social media，which can worsen their symptoms and harm their mental health.Therefore，is crucial for parents to monitor their children's online activity and usage.
Despite the risks to some，the team says their findings debunk the belief that social media causes young people to become sociall isolated.In fact，their frequent use of social platforms may actually give them more opportunities to connect with old and new friends an set up chances to go out and socialize outdoors.
（1）What does the study focus on？
A.The importance of young people's social skills.
B.The impact of social media on young people.
C.Reasons for people becoming isolated from the community.

D.Social media is a double-edged sword for young people with anxiety.
