Art

in

the

Moment

When

I

was

fifteen,

my

watercolor

painting

was

refused

by

an

art

competition.

I

stared(凝视)at

the

judges'

note:"The

work

doesn't

show

emotional(情感的)depth,

"and

my

heart

broke.

I

had

spent

weeks

drawing

every

leaf

and

stone

(13)

.

Though

my

fingers

hurt,

I

kept

going

without

resting.

For

several

days,

I

stayed

alone

in

my

room,

thinking

about

giving

up

painting

completely.

My

art

teacher,

Ms.

Wilson,

(14)

my

silence.

She

sat

beside

me

and

said

gently,

"Your

skill

is

good,

but

where

are

your

feelings

in

the

picture?

"Her

words

stayed

in

my

mind.

While

riding

my

bike

home

through

the

forest

I

had

painted,

I

suddenly

realized

what

she

meant.

I

had

been

so

busy

copying

nature

that

I

forgot

my

own

(15)

with

it.

That

summer,

I

volunteered

at

a

nature

park.

Instead

of

drawing

quickly,

I

learned

to

sit

quietly

under

the

trees,

watching

sunlight

move

across

the

grass.

Slowly,

my

love

for

painting

(16)

.

My

sketchbook

soon

filled

with

simple

but

lovely

(17)

—morning

light

on

the

hills,

small

animals

moving

softly,

and

birds

landing

lightly

on

the

rocks.

When

the

art

competition

came

again

the

next

year,

I

painted

outdoors

rather

than

using

old

photos.

This

time,

I

left

some

parts

(18)

so

that

viewers

could

use

their

imagination.

After

handing

in

my

work,

I

felt

a

sense

of

calm.

A

week

later,

the

judges

wrote,

"We

feel

the

life

of

the

forest.

"I

won

a

prize

and

even

received

an

invitation

to

teach

painting

at

a

small

summer

camp

in

the

countryside.

Now,

as

a

young

art

teacher,

when

I

teach

these

kids,

I

always

share

what

Ms.

Wilson

taught

me.

Last

Thursday,

a

girl

looked

upset

and

said,

"My

sunflowers

look

too

dark.

"Instead

of

letting

her

add

more

(19)

,

I

handed

her

some

seeds(种子).

"Watch

how

they

grow

first.

"I

told

her.

A

few

weeks

later,

her

new

painting

looked

more

natural

and

full

of

life.

When

we

hung

it

near

the

window,

a

butterfly

passed

by

slowly,

as

if

giving

us

the

same

message:true

art

comes

from

careful

watching,

not

from

simple

(20)

.

Slow

down,

keep

creating

with

heart,

and

your

work

will

shine

brightly.13.A.quickly B.suddenly C.secretly D.carefully14.A.noticed B.questioned C.refused D.described15.A.competition B.connection C.promise D.argument16.A.returned B.continued C.weakened D.cooled17.A.ideas B.stories C.events D.moments18.A.lively B.bright C.open D.limited19.A.brushes B.color C.lines D.paper20.A.drawing B.thinking C.copying D.creating三、阅读理解：本大题共10小题，共20分。ATom

sat

at

his

desk,

staring

at

his

homework.

He

was

a

bit

down.

Earlier

that

evening,

he

had

argued

with

his

dad

about

using

AI

to

finish

his

work.

"You

have

used

it

too

much,"

his

dad

had

said.

"It's

useful,

but

if

you

use

it

for

everything,

you

won't

learn

to

think

for

yourself."

Tom

knew

his

dad

was

right.

That

night,

Tom

came

to

the

bedroom,

his

heart

beating

fast.

He

took

a

deep

breath

and

entered.

"Dad,

can

we

talk？"

he

asked.

His

dad

smiled

and

nodded.

Tom

said,

"I

was

wrong

to

use

AI

for

all

my

homework.

I

want

to

try

doing

it

by

myself

from

now

on."

His

dad

was

glad

and

gave

him

some

advice：start

with

small

tasks,

check

facts

with

AI,

but

try

to

write

down

your

own

ideas.

The

next

morning,

Tom

opened

his

notebook.

He

tried

to

finish

his

English

writing

on

his

own.

At

first,

it

was

slow,

and

he

made

many

mistakes.

He

got

confused

by

some

difficult

questions

and

almost

gave

up.

But

then

he

thought

of

his

dad's

words："Try

your

best

and

take

your

time."

Slowly,

he

began

writing,

checking

each

sentence

carefully.

By

lunchtime,

Tom

finished

his

writing

and

felt

more

confident.

As

the

week

went

on,

Tom

tried

to

use

what

he

learned

in

different

subjects.

He

used

AI

only

to

check

facts.

He

still

made

mistakes

and

had

to

rewrite

part

of

his

report.

At

first,

he

felt

upset,

but

then

he

realized

that

correcting

his

own

mistakes

helped

him

understand

the

topic

better.

His

dad

noticed

and

said,

"You

are

improving.Believe

in

yourself."

Finally,

Friday

came.

Tom

handed

in

his

history

report,

written

completely

by

himself.

When

he

got

it

back,

he

could

hardly

believe

it—he

got

an

A！His

teacher

even

praised

his

careful

thinking

and

creative

ideas.

Tom

learned

an

important

lesson：learning

is

not

about

taking

the

easy

way.

It

is

about

working

hard,

thinking

carefully,

and

facing

problems

bravely.21.When

came

he

his

classmates'

work

to

save

time.

D.He

used

AI

to

get

more

ideas

for

his

writing.23.What

can

we

learn

from

the

always

leads

to

negative

effects.

AI

is

the

best

way

to

finish

homework

quickly.

needs

effort,

independent

thinking

and

challenges.

learning

requires

practice,

quick

thinking

and

avoiding
