Since my son went to college in Chicago, I made quarterly trips there for the next three years. My friend George was a cook there and he knew many outstanding restaurants. One of them was a Chinese restaurant called The Bird. It was owned and operated by Chef Benny Moy who happened to be an old friend of George’s.
The dishes Benny prepared were unique, and everything was in his mind when he was cooking. Just by changing, adding or removing an ingredient or two, he could come up with an entirely new dish.
As a fan of Chinese food, I was always attracted by its recipes. After a year went by, I Road in finally gathered the courage to ask Benny if I could spend a week learning cooking in his restaurant kitchen. To my joy, he agreed readily.
I was very nervous the first day I showed up. But I didn’t have to wait long to find out how I would start. “Put on this jacket, go over to the stove and clean the two woks (锅) there,” he said. I was excited. What a beginning! I was allowed to clean the master’s woks.
Then things just seemed to fall into place. Benny was very concentrated when he was doing preparing work or cooking. I would just follow him around, trying very hard not to get in his way. Besides, I would talk into my hand-held recorder to document everything he did; in effect, I had all his recipes. He had a teaching style that was all his own. And I just watched and learned everything he did by heart
At the end of the week, when my time in the kitchen was over, I came away feeling that I have had the most exciting, unusual, and unique cooking experiences. Plus, now I know how to cook Benny’s most-known dish: Moo shu pork.

Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified (量化) through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码 )the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning. This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To figure out the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors built a deep convolutional neural network(卷积神经网络)and classified these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy. “These dating results are correct and the method is great,” said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge,” wrote the researchers,“ this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.
28. What might be a reason for some murals remaining undated
A. Variety of the drawing styles B. Errors of historical literature
C. Shortage of reference materials D. Disagreement of historical documents.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Why the drawing style is always changing B. What a new dating method looks like.
C. How painting data are learned and quantified D. Whether a dating approach should be applied
30. Why does the author mention the example of Cave No. 205 and No.206
A. To compare two different drawing styles
B. To present the application of visual codes
C. To explain the creation of the classification model
D. To analyze the main features of the paintings
31. What do the researchers think of the new method
A. It is a breakthrough B. It classifies drawing styles
C. It brings many uncertainties D. It makes accurate predictions
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. A
【解析】

A study published recently shows that tomato fruits are able to transmit alerts to their mother plant when attacked by caterpillars.
Plants have a large number of chemical and hormonal signaling pathways, which are generally transmitted through the sap (树液). Given the fact that fruits just hang from the main plant before ultimately falling off and sap typically only runs from the plant to the fruit — not back and forth between the two — it has long been unclear whether or not fruits can transmit information to the plant.
To address that question, scientists at Brazil’s Federal University of Pelotas placed tomato plants in a Faraday cage. Electrodes (电极) were attached to the ends of the plants’ branches at the points where they connected to the fruits. Then they measured electrical responses within the branches before, during and after a 24-hour period in which the fruits were attacked by caterpillars. Machine-learning-based algorithms were used to identify patterns in the signals.
It was found that there was a “clear difference” between the signals before and after caterpillar attacks. Additionally. defensive biochemical responses were observed throughout the plants’ bodies, suggesting that they had been triggered by signals sent by the fruits. There searchers gave the following explanation. The tomato fruit, sensing a nearby insect, released electrical signals to reach the rest of the plant. These warnings impulses were received by the main plant and as a result, the rest of the plant got prepared to fight off the unwanted invaders. The tomato fruit made sure that the plant produced chemicals that were unpleasant to taste, so that hungry caterpillars stayed off the fruit.
The scientists now plan on investigating whether other fruiting plants behave in the same manner as tomatoes, and whether their fruits respond to threats other than insects. They believe understanding how the plant interacts with its fruits, and the fruits among themselves, may bring insights into how to make use of this communication for enhancing fruit quality, resistance to pests and shelf life after harvest.
32. Which of the following magazine is the text most likely selected from
A. Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems.
B. Extraordinary Architect.
C. National Geographic.
D. The Economist.
33. What function does sap serve in paragraph 2
A. A medium that can transmit signals.
B. A firewall that can prevent attacks.
C. A shelter where information stores.
D. A pathway which water runs through.
34. What’s the reaction of the tomato fruit after sensing a nearby caterpillar
A. It fought against the invaders.
B. It produced an unpleasant taste.
C. It released a stinky smell.
D. It emitted electrical signals.
35. What will scientists do in the following research
A. Improve fruit output.
B. Decrease pest species.
C. Expand research fields.
D. Investigate other insects.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】

【答案】Nature in Words
Among all the seasons, I like spring the most. Spring is a season of rejuvenation and rebirth. It is marked by the blossoming of beautiful flowers, the return of chirping birds, and the gentle warmth of the sun. The landscape transforms into vibrant shades of green as new leaves emerge on trees and grasses sprout.
Spring teaches us the importance of resilience and optimism. Despite the harsh winter months, nature bounces back with renewed energy and enthusiasm. It reminds us that no matter how difficult or challenging life may be, there is always hope for a fresh start. Just as the buds break through the cold earth, we too can find the strength within ourselves to overcome obstacles and embrace new opportunities.

Since my son went to college in Chicago, I made quarterly trips there for the next three years. My friend George was a cook there and he knew many outstanding restaurants. One of them was a Chinese restaurant called The Bird. It was owned and operated by Chef Benny Moy who happened to be an old friend of George’s.
The dishes Benny prepared were unique, and everything was in his mind when he was cooking. Just by changing, adding or removing an ingredient or two, he could come up with an entirely new dish.
As a fan of Chinese food, I was always attracted by its recipes. After a year went by, I Road in finally gathered the courage to ask Benny if I could spend a week learning cooking in his restaurant kitchen. To my joy, he agreed readily.
I was very nervous the first day I showed up. But I didn’t have to wait long to find out how I would start. “Put on this jacket, go over to the stove and clean the two woks (锅) there,” he said. I was excited. What a beginning! I was allowed to clean the master’s woks.
Then things just seemed to fall into place. Benny was very concentrated when he was doing preparing work or cooking. I would just follow him around, trying very hard not to get in his way. Besides, I would talk into my hand-held recorder to document everything he did; in effect, I had all his recipes. He had a teaching style that was all his own. And I just watched and learned everything he did by heart
At the end of the week, when my time in the kitchen was over, I came away feeling that I have had the most exciting, unusual, and unique cooking experiences. Plus, now I know how to cook Benny’s most-known dish: Moo shu pork.

Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified (量化) through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码 )the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning. This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To figure out the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors built a deep convolutional neural network(卷积神经网络)and classified these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy. “These dating results are correct and the method is great,” said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge,” wrote the researchers,“ this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.
28. What might be a reason for some murals remaining undated
A. Variety of the drawing styles B. Errors of historical literature
C. Shortage of reference materials D. Disagreement of historical documents.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Why the drawing style is always changing B. What a new dating method looks like.
C. How painting data are learned and quantified D. Whether a dating approach should be applied
30. Why does the author mention the example of Cave No. 205 and No.206
A. To compare two different drawing styles
B. To present the application of visual codes
C. To explain the creation of the classification model
D. To analyze the main features of the paintings
31. What do the researchers think of the new method
A. It is a breakthrough B. It classifies drawing styles
C. It brings many uncertainties D. It makes accurate predictions
D
A study published recently shows that tomato fruits are able to transmit alerts to their mother plant when attacked by caterpillars.
Plants have a large number of chemical and hormonal signaling pathways which are generally transmitted through the sap (树液). Given the fact that fruits just hang from the main plant before ultimately falling off and sap typically only runs from the plant to the fruit — not back and forth between the two — it has long been unclear whether or not fruits can transmit information to the plant.
To address that question, scientists at Brazil’s Federal University of Pelotas placed tomato plants in a Faraday cage. Electrodes (电极) were attached to the ends of the plants’ branches at the points where they connected to the fruits. Then they measured electrical responses within the branches before, during and after a 24-hour period in which the fruits were attacked by caterpillars. Machine-learning-based algorithms were used to identify patterns in the signals.
It was found that there was a “clear difference” between the signals before and after caterpillar attacks. Additionally. defensive biochemical responses were observed throughout the plants’ bodies, suggesting that they had been triggered by signals sent by the fruits. There searchers gave the following explanation. The tomato fruit, sensing a nearby insect, released electrical signals to reach the rest of the plant. These warnings impulses were received by the main plant and as a result, the rest of the plant got prepared to fight off the unwanted invaders. The tomato fruit made sure that the plant produced chemicals that were unpleasant to taste, so that hungry caterpillars stayed off the fruit.
The scientists now plan on investigating whether other fruiting plants behave in the same manner as tomatoes, and whether their fruits respond to threats other than insects. They believe understanding how the plant interacts with its fruits, and the fruits among themselves, may bring insights into how to make use of this communication for enhancing fruit quality, resistance to pests and shelf life after harvest.
32. Which of the following magazine is the text most likely selected from
A. Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems.
B. Extraordinary Architect.
C. National Geographic.
D. The Economist.
33. What function does sap serve in paragraph 2
A. A medium that can transmit signals.
B. A firewall that can prevent attacks.
C. A shelter where information stores.
D. A pathway which water runs through.
34. What’s the reaction of the tomato fruit after sensing a nearby caterpillar
A. It fought against the invaders.
B. It produced an unpleasant taste.
C. It released a stinky smell.
D. It emitted electrical signals.
35. What will scientists do in the following research
A. Improve fruit output.
B. Decrease pest species.
C. Expand research fields.
D. Investigate other insects.

When I was in middle school, I became blind. Suddenly thrown into a world of darkness. I was troubled by frustration and self-pity. Depression consumed me and I was frightened to try anything challenging.
Imagine my surprise when my teacher asked me to enter a speaking contest. I rejected it out of hand. Among so many students, why did she pick me I was an average student. blind and plain-looking. Anyhow. she insisted that I go for it. Her reply:“Because I believe you can deliver a good speech. You are more capable than you imagine!” Encouraged by her words,1agreed to give it a shot
I decided on a fictional mole (鼹鼠) as my topic. It was a cute creature with poor eyesight mostly living underground, digging holes and helping get rid of pests. Not a brilliant idea, but unique; and undoubtedly a relatable tale.
What did the mole think, as he fought his way in the darkness Would he get scared Have second thoughts Want to quit It struck a chord immediately. I got exhausted from preparing the speech. I had doubts about my choice. I wanted to escape from reality. But, like the blind mole. I kept it up. I doubled my efforts. I checked out books from the school library. I referred to some great speeches. I turned to my father for guidance.
A week before the competition, I presented my speech to my teacher. She smiled, saying “Good. Now, polish your writing and practice your delivery.” I couldn’t remember how many times I made adjustments to my writing. Nor could I recall how I practiced it over and over again, with mixed feelings. “Could my message get across to the audience ” “How would they react ” Tons of questions crowded into my mind.
