High school programs at the National Gallery of Art value depth over breadth, exploring original works of art through a single specific question or theme.

Studio Workshops

Single museum visit, 2.5 hours

Grades 9-12

These half-day art workshops include an in-depth examination and discussion of works of art in the galleries, followed by behind-the-scenes access to the Education Studio, where students create a related art project.

National Gallery of Art educators will encourage students to look carefully at works of art and then share their responses and come up with theories based on their observations.

Students will have the chance to create a work of art in the studio inspired by what they have seen in the galleries.

Museum Makers

Exploring Art and Museums

Students meet for seven Saturday sessions from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Completion of the program requires attendance of all seven sessions.

Creative Writing

Grades 7-12, 90 minutes

Students will provide a voice for their personal responses to art through creative writing while they are looking at a selection of artworks in the galleries. Using close observation, group discussion and personal reflection, they will be guided through exercises that use different writing forms, including free-form poetry.

A maximum of 30 students (minimum of 15) will be accepted at each session.

I never imagined that someone telling me I looked skinny would anger me. And yet, I was made very angry when a colleague pinched (捏) my waist and screamed, “Rosa, you've lost weight. Y ou look great In The truth is that I was tired and not taking care of myself. I decided to start a proper weight-loss program.

The first to go would be road rage (路怒) .I am in far less control of this weight than any other. Every time something gets in my path, I fly off the handle. I need to lose the road rage, and fast! No, no more speed. Instead, I now repeat the words: "I am not in a hurry. " This year, I will drive safely, allowing "stupid" to happen all around me. From that, I hope to gain patience.

Next is guilt. When guilt drives my conscience to do better, it's functional. But when it presents itself as an internal dialogue that goes nowhere, it's useless. This year, I want to stop feeling guilty for not keeping a cleaner house, for spending time away from my children to be with friends, for not attending every party because I' d rather be at home, or for watching TV when I should be reading. My image and performance are not at the front of anyone else's mind but my own. From this, I hope to gain freedom to be myself.

The last is fear. Fear has held me back. Fear of failure has prevented me from being a writer. Fear of embarrassment has prevented me from giving an opinion. Fear of rejection has stopped me from aiming higher in my life. Fear of regret has led me into situations that made me uncomfortable. If I can lose any one of these fears, I stand to gain experience.

So, if I can lose the rage, shake off some guilt, and take fear off my plate, I stand to gain patience, freedom, and experience. Pound for pound I have not lost a thing but I will be much lighter. Next time, I hope my colleague looks me in the eye to see my glow instead of pinching part of me that has nothing to do with how great I really look.

24. What does the underlined part “fly off the handle” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Pick up speed.

B. Drive off.

C. Feel quite nervous.

D. Become very angry.

25. What has made the author feel guilty before?

B. Reading much with her children.

B. It has stopped her furthering her education.

C. It has made it difficult for her to make friends.

D. It has caused her to quit her dream of being a teacher.

Six months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old people's home and I visited her there. The room was clean and warm, and the care assistants were kind and cheerful. A general knowledge quiz show was on the television, and the only other sound was snoring (打呼噜 ) .People moved only when they needed to be helped to the bathroom. It was disappointing. Grandmother talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren, but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit her there.

So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on.

The advantages are huge for everyone concerned. The children are happy, because they get a lot more individual attention. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.

Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young in an increasing number of countries. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations，families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same - increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children, and more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. Ifs a major problem in many societies.

That's why intergenerational programs, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world.

28. What does the underlined word "residents" in paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A. Old people.

B. School teachers.

C. Assistants.

D. Staff.

29. How were the old people at the home the author's grandmother was in?

A. They felt lonely and useless.

B. They weren't allowed to be visited.

C. They weren't looked after properly.

D. They lived in a dirty and uncomfortable room.

30. What does the author think is a major problem in many societies today?

A. The extended family is broken down.

B. There isn't much room for grandparents.

C. Working parents have no time to care for their children.

D. There isn't much contact between the old and the young.

31. What will be probably talked about later in the passage?

A. Advice o1n how to communicate with children.

B. Plans for setting up more homes for old people,

C. Examples of successful intergenerational programs.

D. Ways of teaching entertainment skills to old people.

D

Microplastic pollution is increasing greatly around the globe, according to a study of plastic particles (微粒) carried in the air.

People are already known to breathe, drink and eat microplastics, and research suggests that pollution levels will continue to rise rapidly. The researchers said that breathing in these particles can be harmful to lung tissue and lead to serious diseases.

Professor Natalie Mahowald, at Cornell University in the US and part of the research team, said, " But maybe we could solve this before it becomes a huge problem, if we manage our plastics better, before they accumulate in the environment and move around everywhere."

The research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined airborne (空气传播的) microplastics, which have been far less studied than plastics in oceans and rivers.

The team gathered more than 300 samples of airborne microplastics from 11 sites across the western US. These were the basis for atmospheric modeling that estimated the contribution from different sources (来源), and it was the first such study to do so.

They found that roads were the main factor (因素) in the western US, linked to about 85% of the microplastics in the air. These are likely to include particles from tires and brake pads on vehicles, and plastics from litter that had been broken down.

The researchers extended their modeling work to a global level and this suggested that while roads are also likely to be the major driver of airborne plastics in Europe, South America and Australia, plastic particles blown up from fields may be a much bigger factor in Africa and Asia.

Professor Andreas Stohl of the University of Vienna's Faculty of Earth Sciences said, “The study confirms the global-scale (全球规模的) nature of microplastic transport in the atmosphere and does a good job in highlighting highly relevant and concerning possibilities, but more measurement data is needed to get a better idea of the sources.”

32. What can be known about microplastic pollution from this text?

A. The particles can do great harm to our lungs.

B. Airborne microplastics have been widely studied.

C. It has become the most pressing environmental problem.

D. There is less plastic in the air than in oceans and rivers.

33. What did the researchers find out about microplastic pollution?

A. Its results differ across many continents.

B. Africa and Asia are suffering most from it.

C. Roads and fields are largely to blame for it.

D. It spreads fast from one continent to another.

34. What should the researchers do next according to Professor Andreas Stohl?

A. To predict the potential damage of microplastics.

B. To understand the nature of microplastic pollution.

C. To improve the method of collecting samples of microplastics.

D. To collect more data to understand the sources of microplastics.

35. What can be the best title for this text?

A. Effects of microplastics on human health

B. Microplastic pollution on the global scale

C. Possible solutions to microplastic pollution

D. Microplastic pollution rising quickly in the air

From writing poetry to making music, ChatGPT 61_____(amaze) the world since its launch in late 2022 by the US-based company Open AL. It even passed several law exams in four courses at the University of Minnesota, Us, according to CNN.

The A1 program can answer questions on a large number of topics, and write essays, stories and any other written texts you can think of. It does this by drawing on information 62_____ (collect) from a large corpus (语料库) of text data.

What makes ChatGPT so impressive? As Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI said in an interview, "It's not actually 63_____ (fundamental) new technology that made ChatGPT have a moment."

According to MIT Technology Review, ChatGPT is based on a large language model. Because texts are more complex 64 _the meaning of every word combined, language models require a type of neural (神经的)network that can make sense of texts.

One breakthrough behind today's models 65 (be) a network called Transformer, invented by Google researchers. The neural network can infer 66 the word means by tracking where it appears in a sentence. Transformer can therefore collect the meaning of texts more accurately.

The GPT models built by OpenAI combined Transformer with unsupervised learning, 67_____(mean) that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at. ChatGPT can now generate human-like responses instantly due 68_____ the large scale of texts it learned from.

"One of the biggest 69_____ (problem) with ChatGPT is that it comes back, very confidently, with false contents," Michael W ooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London, UK, told The Guardian. This means ChatGPT doesn't know the truth about the world - it learns information from 70_____ (variety) resources but it cannot decide what is true or false.

The other day my parents and I took trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As is known, it's a famous mountain with different kind of plants and animals. The weather was fine and we were on high spirits. It was about noon while we arrived at the foot of the mountain. We were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we feed monkeys, visited temples and told stories. On the way up, I was busy took photos since the scenery was beautiful and attractively. Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, night has fallen.

Sports benefit us in many aspects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies.

Sports can also promote social changes by providing a platform for important issues to be addressed.

Besides, sports have a unique power to bring people together and inspire greatness. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playground they not only struggle for themselves but also fight for their dreams and teams. The spirit of sports connects people of different nations and colors for a shared future, making the world a better place.
