Feasts for Museum-goers
Museums have become the latest must-see destinations for both locals and tourists alike all over China and let’s take a quick look at what some of them have in store for enthusiastic museum-goers.
Gentle View
Paintings and sculptures from across the country are on display at the ongoing exhibition, Colors, at the Shandong Art Museum in Jinan, Shandong province. The event is held in celebration of International Women’s Day, which falls on Friday. The Shandong Artists Association launched the annual exhibition in 2017 to encourage women artists and to offer them a platform for their talents and their unique ways of viewing the world.
Cultural Peak
Ink artist Huang Binhong (1865 — 1955), considered one of the major figures of modern Chinese art, spent a lifetime carrying on his country’s cultural heritage while also maintaining a modern spirit and a universal outlook. Immortal Legacy is an ongoing exhibition at the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy that sheds light on Huang’s belief in cultural tradition. His landscape paintings indicate his appetite for the scenery of southern China, where he grew up and spent most of his life.
Timeless Beauty
In celebration of Chinese New Year, Immortal Brushwork of Danqing, the Tianjin Museum staged a long-term exhibition starting in early February, bringing together dozens of paintings ranging from the Song (960 — 1279) to Qing (1644 — 1911) dynasties. Examples include a portrait of an aristocratic woman by Leng Mei, a pioneering figure of Chinese portraiture in the 17th and 18th centuries. Leng’s paintings successfully convey the atmosphere and situations his subjects experienced, revealing their moods and emotions.
Calligraphic Sage
Hailed as the “modern sage of caoshu script”, Lin Sanzhi is recognized as one of the leading calligraphers of the 20th century. My Admiration of Ancient Masters, an exhibition at the Anhui Art Museum, reviews Lin’s efforts in calligraphy, poetry and Chinese painting through which he built a connection with the spiritual worlds of past artists and sought new dimensions for the art form. Also on display are landscape paintings, showing how he made use of calligraphic techniques to present the vastness of nature.

Three Americans, including one teenager from NYC, were among the 20 Legacy (遗产) Award recipients at Thursday’s 2024 Diana Awards, named in memory of the late Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales.
The Legacy Award specifically, launched in 2017, aims to celebrate the achievements of 20 outstanding young leaders, visionaries and role models from across the world.
16-year-old native New Yorker Hailey Richman was recognized for her work as the founder and CEO of Kid Caregivers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and supporting young people who serve as caregivers, and to enriching the lives of adults affected by Alzheimer’s. Richman launched the organization when she was just 8—four years after her own grandmother was diagnosed with the disease.
Richman, who was previously honored at the age of 12 as a 2019 Empower Player by DoSomething. org, said she hopes the award will “spread awareness but also inspire other young people around the world to do something to make a change.”
Among the other American nominees (被提名者) was 18-year-old Olivia Zhang, born in McLean, Virginia, who was recognized for creating Cancer Kids First, the world’s largest youth-led organization, which works towards lessening the challenges that patients of pediatric cancer face.
Meanwhile, University of Michigan School of Business alum Sikander “Sonny” Khan, 26, founded the Paani Project and has since raised over $ 6.1 million to tackle Pakistan’s lack of secure access to clean water. The organization has built over 17,000 wells and served more than 2. 5 million meals to villagers across the Southeast Asian country.
Diana’s oldest son, Prince William, was on hand at London’s Science Museum on Thursday to give a speech and present this year’s Legacy Awards.
“I know that she would have been honored to see a charity in her name doing such inspirational work to uplift young people from all corners of the globe,” he said, regarding his late mother, who died in 1997. “She taught me that everyone has the potential to give something back, that everyone in need deserves a supporting hand in life.”
4. What do we know about the Legacy Award
A. It was just awarded to outstanding young Americans.
B. It is launched in 2024 in memory of the late Princess Diana.
C. It was established by Princess Diana during her lifetime.
D. It is awarded to 20 outstanding young people from across the world.

New research suggests that the relationship between humans and cassowaries(鹤鸵) dates back to the Late Pleistocene era, several thousand years before humans domesticated geese and chickens. “And this is not some small fowl,” said Kristina Douglass, an archaeologist at Penn State University. “It’s a huge, bad-tempered, flightless bird that can eviscerate(开膛破肚) you—most likely the dwarf(侏儒) variety that weighs 20 kilograms.”
By examining the remains of ancient cassowary eggshells, Douglass and an international team of researchers determined that some 18,000 years ago, people in New Guinea were collecting, hatching and possibly raising cassowary chicks, which the researchers consider a clever and complicated food-gathering technique. This represents the earliest known evidence of intentional bird rearing(饲养).
People would have kept these eggs for one of two purposes: to eat them or to raise the hatched chicks for their meat and feathers. Like geese, cassowary chicks imprint on the first creature they see. That makes them unusually ideal for human rearing, a practice that continues in parts of New Guinea to this day. Though Douglass and her team didn’t find evidence of ancient people penning cassowaries, it’s something they plan to look for in the future.
Historically, cassowary tibiotarsae, the upper part of the bird’s leg, were used to fashion bone daggers(匕首) for hunting. Today their feathers are prized for decorations, and the birds remain an important source of meat. But these striking birds, which can reach nearly 1.8 meters tall and 54 kilograms, are also incredibly dangerous.
“They have these really large claws. And if they feel threatened, they will use them,” Douglass said. A frightened or territorial cassowary can lash out with a kick powerful enough to eviscerate a medium-size—or even human-size—mammal. Cassowaries do occasionally kill humans, including a man in Florida who was deadly attacked by a cassowary he kept on his farm in 2019. Even so, these instances are exceedingly rare.
8. What did the researchers find when checking the eggshells
A. Most cassowaries were of the dwarf variety.
B. Cassowaries used to help with gathering food.
C. Geese and chickens existed before cassowaries.
D. People might have kept cassowaries on purpose.
9. What does the underlined words “imprint on” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Pitilessly catch. B. Generously feed.
C. Firmly remember. D. Confusedly mistake.
10. What can we say about cassowaries
A. They tend to kick larger mammals to death.
B. They were recorded by ancient New Guineans.
C. They have caused concerns among potential owners.
D. They remain valuable despite posing threats at times.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Birds Kill with Claws
B. The Secret Behind Eggshells
C. Domestication Process of Cassowaries
D. Prehistoric People Raised Deadly Cassowaries
D
For decades linguists have argued over how children learn a language. Some think babies pick up language simply from experience—hearing seeing and playing with the world. Others argue that experience is not enough and that babies’ brains must be hardwired to make acquiring language easy.
A team of scientists at New York University examined the question by training an AI model on the experiences of an infant. Between the ages of 6 and 25 months, a toddler called Sam wore a head-mounted(头戴式的)camera for an hour a week—around one of his waking hours. The camera recorded everything he saw and heard while he played with toys, enjoyed days at the park and interacted with his pet cats. The recordings and transcribed audio were fed into an AI, which was set up to know that images and words that appeared at the same time were related, but was otherwise left to make sense of the mess of colors and speech that Sam experienced.
Despite the limited training data, the AI was able to pick out objects and learn the matching words. The researchers tested the model by asking it to identify objects Sam had seen before, such as one of his toy balls. Given a list of four options the model picked the correct word 62% of the time, far above the chance level of 25%. To the researchers’ surprise, the model could also identify balls that Sam had never seen. The AI learned at least 40 different words eventually, but it was far from matching Sam’s vocabulary and-language abilities.
The researchers argue that, to match words to objects, learning from experience may well be enough. Skeptics, however, doubt whether the AI would be able to learn abstract nouns or verbs, and question how similar the learning processes really are. The mystery of language acquisition lives on.
12. What question are the scientists in the research working on
A. The benefits of applying AI to do research.
B. The language learning ability of an AI model.
C. The mystery behind babies’ language acquisition.
D. The different views on babies’ language learning.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the research is carried out.
B. How the AI model matches words to objects.
C. How the research is evaluated and put into practice.
D. How the AI model deals with the input information.
14. What makes the AI model differ from Sam
A. Grasp the exactly same vocabulary as Sam.
B. Pick out objects and learn the matching words.
C. Recognize the objects that Sam had never seen.
D. Have a better command of the learned language than Sam.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The researchers regard the research as a failure.
B. Skeptics think the AI couldn’t learn abstract nouns or verbs.
C. The mystery of language acquisition still needs to be unlocked.
D. The learning process of the AI is similar to that of human babies.

In the busy city where doctor Matthew’s clinic stood, his reputation as a skilled healer and compassionate soul spread far and wide. Tall and lean, Matthew was a familiar sight in his neat white coat, always ready to offer comfort and care to his young patients. Behind the scenes of the operating room, Matthew’s professional skills and thoughtful nature brought hope to both patients and their families. His soft-spoken words and reassuring smile were like a soothing balm, easing the fears and worries that often accompanied medical procedures. Besides these, Matthew possessed a hidden talent—a talent to cure little patients physically and mentally. It originated from his observation that after surgery, young patients often found it difficult to be comforted and cooperate with treatment due to pain and discomfort, leading to ineffective treatment outcomes and causing distress to their parents. This realization inspired him to adopt the practice of drawing on bandages for his young patients after surgery.
Each day, after surgeries, he transformed dull bandages into enchanting canvases, decorating them with vivid characters and inspiring landscapes that brought bright smiles to his young patients’ faces. During quiet evenings, he practised his artistic abilities, crafting creative illustrations that ignited joy and hope. Every stroke of his pen served as a lighthouse of comfort in the depressing hospital setting.
Once, timid Alex arrived at Matthew’s clinic, his gaze reflecting uncertainty. But after surgery, Alex was greeted by a magnificent dragon gracing his bandage, a creation of Matthew. The sight of the beautiful dragon lighted up Alex’s face, driving away his fears and replacing them with wonder. Through Matthew’s drawings, he devoted to mending not just bodies but spirits, transforming dull hospital rooms into havens of imagination and bravery. However, fate dealt a harsh blow one rainy night. In a tragic car accident, Matthew sustained injuries that made his hands unable to grasp neither a scalpel(手术刀)nor a pen.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
As news of Matthew’s accident spread, his young patients came around him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the inspiration, Matthew’s spirit soared on the wings of the dragon he once drew.

New research suggests that the relationship between humans and cassowaries(鹤鸵) dates back to the Late Pleistocene era, several thousand years before humans domesticated geese and chickens. “And this is not some small fowl,” said Kristina Douglass, an archaeologist at Penn State University. “It’s a huge, bad-tempered, flightless bird that can eviscerate(开膛破肚) you—most likely the dwarf(侏儒) variety that weighs 20 kilograms.”
By examining the remains of ancient cassowary eggshells, Douglass and an international team of researchers determined that some 18,000 years ago, people in New Guinea were collecting, hatching and possibly raising cassowary chicks, which the researchers consider a clever and complicated food-gathering technique. This represents the earliest known evidence of intentional bird rearing(饲养).
People would have kept these eggs for one of two purposes: to eat them or to raise the hatched chicks for their meat and feathers. Like geese, cassowary chicks imprint on the first creature they see. That makes them unusually ideal for human rearing, a practice that continues in parts of New Guinea to this day. Though Douglass and her team didn’t find evidence of ancient people penning cassowaries, it’s something they plan to look for in the future.
Historically, cassowary tibiotarsae, the upper part of the bird’s leg, were used to fashion bone daggers(匕首) for hunting. Today their feathers are prized for decorations, and the birds remain an important source of meat. But these striking birds, which can reach nearly 1.8 meters tall and 54 kilograms, are also incredibly dangerous.
“They have these really large claws. And if they feel threatened, they will use them,” Douglass said. A frightened or territorial cassowary can lash out with a kick powerful enough to eviscerate a medium-size—or even human-size—mammal. Cassowaries do occasionally kill humans, including a man in Florida who was deadly attacked by a cassowary he kept on his farm in 2019. Even so, these instances are exceedingly rare.
8. What did the researchers find when checking the eggshells
A. Most cassowaries were of the dwarf variety.
B. Cassowaries used to help with gathering food.
C. Geese and chickens existed before cassowaries.
D. People might have kept cassowaries on purpose.
9. What does the underlined words “imprint on” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Pitilessly catch. B. Generously feed.
C. Firmly remember. D. Confusedly mistake.
10. What can we say about cassowaries
A. They tend to kick larger mammals to death.
B. They were recorded by ancient New Guineans.
C. They have caused concerns among potential owners.
D. They remain valuable despite posing threats at times.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Birds Kill with Claws
B. The Secret Behind Eggshells
C. Domestication Process of Cassowaries
D. Prehistoric People Raised Deadly Cassowaries
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述科学家们通过检查古代鹤鸵蛋壳的残骸所得出的研究结果。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This represents the earliest known evidence of intentional bird rearing(饲养). (这是已知的最早的有意饲养鸟类的证据。)”可知,研究人员在检查蛋壳时发现人们可能是故意饲养鹤鸵的。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词所在句“Like geese, cassowary chicks imprint on the first creature they see. That makes them unusually ideal for human rearing (像鹅一样,鹤鸵的雏鸟会在它们看到的第一个生物身上imprint on。)”和下文“That makes them unusually ideal for human rearing, a practice that continues in parts of New Guinea to this day.(这使得它们非常适合人类饲养,这种做法在新几内亚的部分地区一直延续到今天。)”可知,这里应该是指鹤鸵的雏鸟会牢牢记住它们看到的第一个生物,所以这就让人更好的饲养,所以imprint on的意思是“牢牢记住”,和选项C意思一致。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A frightened or territorial cassowary can lash out with a kick powerful enough to eviscerate a medium-size—or even human-size—mammal. Cassowaries do occasionally kill humans, including a man in Florida who was deadly attacked by a cassowary he kept on his farm in 2019. (一只受惊或有领土感的鹤鸵可以猛烈地踢出足以将中等大小甚至人类大小的哺乳动物掏内脏的力量。鹤鸵偶尔也会杀人,包括佛罗里达州的一名男子,他在2019年被农场里饲养的鹤鸵致命袭击。)”可知,鹤鸵会踢死体型较大的哺乳动物。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“By examining the remains of ancient cassowary eggshells, Douglass and an international team of researchers determined that some 18,000 years ago, people in New Guinea were collecting, hatching and possibly raising cassowary chicks, which the researchers consider a clever and complicated food-gathering technique. This represents the earliest known evidence of intentional bird rearing(饲养). (通过检查古代鹤鸵蛋壳的残骸,Douglass和一个国际研究小组确定,大约18000年前,新几内亚人正在收集、孵化并可能饲养鹤鸵雏鸟,研究人员认为这是一种聪明而复杂的食物采集技术。这是已知的最早的有意饲养鸟类的证据。)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要讲述科学家们通过检查古代鹤鸵蛋壳的残骸所得出的研究结果。故选B。

For decades linguists have argued over how children learn a language. Some think babies pick up language simply from experience—hearing, seeing and playing with the world. Others argue that experience is not enough and that babies’ brains must be hardwired to make acquiring language easy.
A team of scientists at New York University examined the question by training an AI model on the experiences of an infant. Between the ages of 6 and 25 months, a toddler called Sam wore a head-mounted(头戴式的)camera for an hour a week—around one of his waking hours. The camera recorded everything he saw and heard while he played with toys, enjoyed days at the park and interacted with his pet cats. The recordings and transcribed audio were fed into an AI, which was set up to know that images and words that appeared at the same time were related, but was otherwise left to make sense of the mess of colors and speech that Sam experienced.
Despite the limited training data, the AI was able to pick out objects and learn the matching words. The researchers tested the model by asking it to identify objects Sam had seen before, such as one of his toy balls. Given a list of four options the model picked the correct word 62% of the time, far above the chance level of 25%. To the researchers’ surprise, the model could also identify balls that Sam had never seen. The AI learned at least 40 different words eventually, but it was far from matching Sam’s vocabulary and-language abilities.
The researchers argue that, to match words to objects, learning from experience may well be enough. Skeptics, however, doubt whether the AI would be able to learn abstract nouns or verbs, and question how similar the learning processes really are. The mystery of language acquisition lives on.
12. What question are the scientists in the research working on
A. The benefits of applying AI to do research.
B. The language learning ability of an AI model.
C. The mystery behind babies’ language acquisition.
D. The different views on babies’ language learning.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the research is carried out.
B. How the AI model matches words to objects.
C. How the research is evaluated and put into practice.
D. How the AI model deals with the input information.
14. What makes the AI model differ from Sam
A. Grasp the exactly same vocabulary as Sam.
B. Pick out objects and learn the matching words.
C. Recognize the objects that Sam had never seen.
D. Have a better command of the learned language than Sam.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The researchers regard the research as a failure.
B. Skeptics think the AI couldn’t learn abstract nouns or verbs.
C. The mystery of language acquisition still needs to be unlocked.
D. The learning process of the AI is similar to that of human babies.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. C

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the busy city where doctor Matthew’s clinic stood, his reputation as a skilled healer and compassionate soul spread far and wide. Tall and lean, Matthew was a familiar sight in his neat white coat, always ready to offer comfort and care to his young patients. Behind the scenes of the operating room, Matthew’s professional skills and thoughtful nature brought hope to both patients and their families. His soft-spoken words and reassuring smile were like a soothing balm, easing the fears and worries that often accompanied medical procedures. Besides these, Matthew possessed a hidden talent—a talent to cure little patients physically and mentally. It originated from his observation that after surgery, young patients often found it difficult to be comforted and cooperate with treatment due to pain and discomfort, leading to ineffective treatment outcomes and causing distress to their parents. This realization inspired him to adopt the practice of drawing on bandages for his young patients after surgery.
Each day, after surgeries, he transformed dull bandages into enchanting canvases, decorating them with vivid characters and inspiring landscapes that brought bright smiles to his young patients’ faces. During quiet evenings, he practised his artistic abilities, crafting creative illustrations that ignited joy and hope. Every stroke of his pen served as a lighthouse of comfort in the depressing hospital setting.
Once, timid Alex arrived at Matthew’s clinic, his gaze reflecting uncertainty. But after surgery, Alex was greeted by a magnificent dragon gracing his bandage, a creation of Matthew. The sight of the beautiful dragon lighted up Alex’s face, driving away his fears and replacing them with wonder. Through Matthew’s drawings, he devoted to mending not just bodies but spirits, transforming dull hospital rooms into havens of imagination and bravery. However, fate dealt a harsh blow one rainy night. In a tragic car accident, Matthew sustained injuries that made his hands unable to grasp neither a scalpel(手术刀)nor a pen.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
As news of Matthew’s accident spread, his young patients came around him.

【答案】范文
As news of Matthew’s accident spread, his young patients came around him. They offered words of encouragement and support. They brought him their favorite drawings and stories, which reminded him of the joy that he brought to their hospital stays. Each child’s visit was a balm to his soul, motivating him to find a new way to continue his healing touch. Seeing the arrival of these children, Matthew’s heart was filled with pride, feeling that his previous efforts were worthwhile and meaningful.
With the inspiration, Matthew’s spirit soared on the wings of the dragon he once drew. He realized that even though he could no longer physically draw, his imagination and creativity could still bring joy and comfort to others. In his heart, he always reminded himself not to be decadent, to continue his career, and to continue to spare no effort to help his young patients. He began to share his stories and ideas with the children, and soon, a new chapter of healing began.
