B Growing up as a kid in the UK,I was fascinated by insects.Wanting to protect them,I started building little houses for ants,using little pieces of wood and leaves.I then moved onto making little cups and saucers from silver foil (for the magical creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden.When my mother saw my work,she told me that the smaller I made things,the bigger my name would become. As the years went by,my designs became more complicated.And I used many different materials,such as diamond fragments,eyelashes and even spider web threads.I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks,and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture ()I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.It isn't actually an enjoyable process-I can only enjoy it once I've finished it. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places.In 2012,I met the queen,giving her a tiny crown on the head of a pin.In 2013,I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand.It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair.In 2017,I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm. One time,a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on.The fly's wings blew it away,and it was lost.I was heartbroken.Another time,I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland.Alice is now in Wonderland forever.But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. I was diagnosed with autism (as an adult.In school,my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure;now,I see my autism as a gift.It's pushed me to be the best I can be.I hold workshops in schools for children with mental diseases,sharing with them my life and work and helping them create their own small figures out of Blu-Tack. The tiny world has always been my happy place.I've tried to make bigger sculptures,but small is best for me.We need to appreciate the little things in life.Small things can also be great,too. 24.Why did the author start making small sculptures A.To become famous. B.To beat the record. C.To shelter insects. D.To meet the queen. 高二英语第4页（共10页）(2024.11)洛阳市2024———2025学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷参考答案 第一部分:(共20小题;每小题1. 5分,满分30分) 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 8. B 9. A 10.
