Around 20 students from the University of Malta took part in a Chinese tea-tasting event on the campus on Wednesday to add a special flavor to their Chinese-language course.
For most students, it was their first time to receive an expert introduction to the rich Chinese tea culture and traditional ways of making tea, with special attention to choosing the right water temperature for Chinese tea.
The event was hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Malta. The master of the event was Sun Yi, a teacher at the institute. She started the event with a brief introduction to Chinese tea culture, followed by a practical demonstration of handling the different kinds of tea leaves. She described the central role of tea in the daily life of Chinese people and taught students how to pronounce “drink”, “tea” and “good” in Mandarin (普通话).
“I love Chinese tea very much,” said Lexuri Vazquez, a third-year student majoring in international relations. She said she hadn’t really appreciated the difference between black and green tea before. Thanks to the tea tasting, however, this will change, she added. She would love to go to China one day to learn about more aspects of Chinese culture in the future.
Jackie Theuma, office administrator of the Confucius Institute at the university, said she had tasted different kinds of Chinese tea, as the institute’s director, Ji Nengwen who is a Chinese, always shared his tea with her and other colleagues. Theuma has been working at the institute for 11 years, and Chinese culture and language have become a part of her life.
Sun found the success of the event inspirational. The Confucius Institute holds cultural events as part of its Chinese-language teaching program to give students an opportunity to better understand what they learn in the classroom. “I will spare no efforts to introduce more aspects of Chinese culture through more events to students, and further raise their interest in learning Chinese and understanding Chinese culture,” Sun said.
4. The event at the University of Malta was intended to ______.
A. teach students how to make Chinese tea.
B. test students’ Mandarin language skills.
C. market the Confucius Institute’s programs.
D. deepen students’ understanding of Chinese culture.
5. How did the event affect Lexuri Vazquez
A. She became fluent in Mandarin.
B. She decided to start a tea business.
C. She learned to tell different types of tea apart.
D. She realized the economic value of tea.
6. How did Jackie Theuma feel about Chinese culture
A. Indifferent. B. Enthusiastic. C. Proud. D. Critical.
7. What is the text mainly about
A A cultural experience on tea tasting.
B. A meaningful event about choosing tea.
C. An introduction to the Confucius Institute.
D. An explanation of a Chinese-language course.

In looking up at the sky during these early weeks of spring, you may see groups of birds migrating north. But how do they fly in such an effortless and united way
Part of the answer lies in aerodynamics (空气动力学), reports a team of mathematicians in a newly published study. The team’s results show that the impact of aerodynamics depends on the size of the flying group — benefiting small groups and disturbing large ones.
“If a bird is displaced from its position, the vortices (涡流)flow left by the leading neighbor help to push the follower back into place and hold it there,” explains Ristroph, director of NYU’s Applied Mathematics Laboratory, “This means the birds can gather into an orderly queue with no extra effort, since the physics does all the work.” For larger groups, however, these flow interactions cause later members to be thrown out of position, typically causing a breakdown of the group due to crashes among members.
To re-create the flying patterns of birds, in which they line up one directly behind the other, the researchers created mechanized wings. The wings were 3D-printed from plastic and driven by motors to move up and down in water, which showed how air flows around bird wings during flight.
They concluded that flow interactions between neighbors are, in effect, spring-like forces that hold each member in place — just as if the cars of a train were connected by springs. However, these “springs” act in only one direction, which means that later members may travel down the group then crash together.
The discovery of the aerodynamic interactions of birds flying in groups broadens our understanding of wildlife and could have applications in transportation and energy, like efficient speeding through air or water and more effectively harvesting power from wind or waves.
8. What is the main focus of the study on birds
A. The size of birds. B. The effortless ways of flying.
C. The migration directions. D. The aerodynamic influence on flying groups.
9. How do flow interactions affect larger groups of birds
A. They improve the flying efficiency. B. They help birds in position.
C. They lead to crashes among them. D. They unite the members.
10. Why does the author mention 3D-printed wings
A. To make a comparison. B. To present evidence.
C. To raise an issue. D. To demonstrate a principle.
11. According to the text, what might be a possible application of the research
A. Creating new ways of public transport.
B. Reducing air resistance of planes.
C. Bettering harvest of heat energy.
D. Expanding the usage of water.
D
Babies blink and cry — and a few weeks into their lives, they might smile. But do these movements mean that newborns have conscious (有意识的) experiences of understanding the world around them
Based on recent studies valuing babies’ brain activities and eye movements, the case for consciousness in newborns is increasingly strong. “We still don’t have a final answer, but new evidence has contributed to an increasing agreement that consciousness starts early, in comparison with other theories that claim we need more cognitive (认知的) development for babies to become conscious,” says Ferreira, professor of bi ology at the NYU School.
This new evidence for consciousness relies on methods that creatively value brain activity in newborns. Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study. Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激).
Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies.
This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there.
12. How did Ferreira get the new evidence
A. By measuring babies’ brain activity. B. By searching for related experience.
C. By collecting unknown sounds. D. By comparing different pictures.
13. What is the challenge of studying consciousness in babies
A. Behavior observation is unreliable.
B. Babies can’t follow researcher’s directions.
C. Babies’ sleep state is completely different.
D. Valuing the brain’s networks is not scientific.
14. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Tracking brains’ networks.
B. The ways of stimulating eyes.
C. Understanding how and when consciousness appears.
D. Parents’ previous belief on taking care of kids.
15. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs
A. Our knowledge of baby consciousness needs improvement.
B. The development of brain causes the feeling of pain.
C. A comfortable environment cannot be ignored.
D. The quality of present baby care is of low level.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Some seventy years ago, a boy called Cassius was born in the town of Louisville. He was his parents’ first child, and his mother soon noticed how strong he was! When he was just six months old, he was sitting in her lap. He stretched out his arms and accidentally knocked one of her teeth out!
Cassius’s father was an artist and sign-writer. His mother, Odessa, was a kindly lady who taught Cassius and his little brother, Rudolph, to be polite and truthful and hard-working.
Like his father, Cassius loved to be the center of attention and could talk so quickly that it was hard to keep up! His mother would come home to find dozens of the neighborhood children listening intently as Cassius told an endless stream of jokes and stories!
He was full of restless energy and didn’t like to sit still. If he wasn’t helping his father with sign-writing, he would be sweeping the floors of the local library to earn money that he spent on movies and ice cream.
Cassius always had a strong sense of what was right and what was wrong, and when he was twelve, a theft changed his life forever. On that day, one of his friends told him that there was a special event at the Louisville Service Club and Cassius wanted to go for a ride on the fancy new bicycle he had received for Christmas. Cassius had a great time showing off his bike on the way to the club. He and his friend soon arrived and went inside. However, when Cassius went out to where he had left his beloved bike, it was gone-somebody had stolen it!
Someone told him that a police officer ran a boxing gym just across the street, so Cassius went there to report the theft. The police officer who ran the gym was a kind old man called Joe Martin. He helped Cassius to fill out a report about the missing bike, but also suggested that maybe Cassius would like to try boxing, so that he could use his energy to protect himself against thieves!
注意：
（1）续写词数应为80个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Deciding not to think about his bike temporarily, Cassius began to train.

47. Under the guidance of Officer Martin, Cassius discovered a passion and talent for boxing. He trained tirelessly, learning to channel his energy into the ring. As days turned into weeks, Cassius became more disciplined and focused. Happily, he realized that boxing was not just about fighting but a way to express his strength and spirit. With each punch, he honed his skills, determined to become a champion. And though his stolen bike was never recovered, Cassius found a new purpose in life—a path that would lead him to become one of the greatest boxers the world has ever known, Muhammad Ali.
