Xu Shuwen, 26, began to learn Chinese art at the age of four from her father, a man who she said believes in the importance of aesthetic (美学的) education, “My father is an art devotee. He loves painting and playing the violin, and often takes me to operas. He taught me the ink and wash and Chinese calligraphy,” Xu said.
At first, Xu found it difficult to teach foreigners Chinese painting, so she turned to books on education and psychology. Many of her students have never painted before, which made her job even more difficult. “I got inspiration from children. I discovered that painting done by them is very creative. The color is unique and I can see they have a desire to create because they are not limited by any rules, unlike adults. So I only teach them the basic brush techniques and ask them not to imitate my work. I want them to paint their own paintings in a happy mood.”
“Chinese ink painting is abstract (抽象的) and simple but with a lot of details.However, it is difficult to get it right, either too thick or too thin. And it is challenging to get the right proportions(比例),” said Mary Durant,a Canadian woman.
In her studio on Huaihai Road, Xu teaches students about the philosophy behin(traditional ink-wash painting, and spends a lot of time teaching them the brushwork technique and spatial relations.
Xu has decided to write an English-language book on basic knowledge of Chinese painting and calligraphy, and maybe later open a school. To be a competent teacher, Xu gets up earl every morning to practice her English aloud, read books and make notes for her lessons.
24. What can be inferred about Xu Shuwen's father
A He attached importance to aesthetic education.
B. He wished his daughter to be a painting teacher.
C. He enjoyed playing different kinds of instruments.
D. He thought it hard for his daughter to learn operas.
25. Why does Xu Shuwen think it hard for grown-ups to learn painting
A. They are not as lovely as children. B. They are not skilled at using colors.
C. They are lazy to create something. D. They are easy to be trapped by rules.
26. What does Mary Durant think of Chinese ink painting
A. It concentrates too much on details.
B. Easier thought than done to learn it.
C. She can't get the right ink concentration.
D. No challenge can prevent her learning it.
27. Which can best describe Xu Shuwen's quality
A. Fond of writing books in English.
B. Afraid to lose her competitiveness.
C. Determined to make a bigger difference.
D. Eager to show off her painting techniques.
C
Switch from burning fossil fuels(化石燃料) to burning ammonia (氨) is a promising way for the shipping industry to cut its carbon dioxide emissions (排放). But if we aren't careful,this approach could also increase harmful nitrogen (氮) pollution.
The tens of thousands of ships on the oceans are responsible for about 3 percent of globalCO emissions, burning more than 300 million tons of fossil fuels each year.
A climate-friendly fuel choice is“green ammonia”, a zero carbon fuel made by using clean electricity, which could be produced at larger amounts than other low-emission fuels.There aren't yet any ammonia-powered ships at sea, but several are being built. With an active decarbonisation effort, the International Energy Agency projects that ammonia could make up44 percent of all shipping fuel by 2050.
There is a problem, though. While the use of green ammonia would mean less CO produced, it could increase nitrogen pollution. In the air, reactive forms of nitrogen can cause air pollution; in the water, they can speed up the growth of harmful algal blooms (水华).
Xin Zhang, at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, and her workmates concluded that making enough ammonia to supply 44 percent of shipping demand would require increasing its industrial production by more than 200 million tons per year. That increase is greater than the total amount of nitrogen pollution currently resulting annually from human activities, mainly agriculture. Much of the nitrogen in the green ammonia would return to the air when the fuel is burned. But if only a tiny amount of the ammonia escaped or failed to burn, the researchers found it could still increase nitrogen pollution by several percent.
To reduce such problems, ships could make use of certain skulls that remove any unburned fuel or use engines designed to reduce nitrogen pollution — but such measures aren't requirements, says Anthony Wong at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
28. What is the advantage of green ammonia
A. It's unlikely to cause pollution. B. It contains little carbon.
C. It can be produced in large quantities. D. It has been widely used already.
29. What does the underlined word“decarbonisation” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. The hard work to build low-carbon ships.
B. The process of reducing CO emissions.
C. The establishment of carbon markets.
D. The latest attempt to recycle carbon.
30. Which agrees with the findings of Xin Zhang's research
A. Zero carbon does not mean zero pollution.
B. Humans should change the way of farming.
C. The green ammonia is usually difficult to burn.
D. If not much, nitrogen pollution can be ignored.
31. Which is the concern of Anthony Wong
A. Ships have no ways to tackle the problem.
B. The unburned fuel will do harm to engines.
C. The requirements haven't specific measures.
D The recommended solution may be refused.
D
While you might find it hard to believe, many experienced educators are voicing support for shorter school days. Looking around the globe, you' ll quickly see nations with leading academic results practicing it
Professor Michael Baker of the University of Toronto conducted a study on school hours.His research, involving 18 countries and over a million students, suggested that increased studying hours resulted in only slightly improved academic results. He argues for fewer school hours, believing that a reduction could lead to less burnout in students.
The Finnish approach is often considered groundbreaking, with their students normally outperforming those of the same age worldwide. The country s secret trick includes shorter school days coupled with more creative learning ways. Dr. Pasi Sahlberg, a Finnish educator and author, connects Finland's academic success to these practices. He states that children should have sufficient time for play, rest, and family, contributing to a balanced life.
Japan is another country on the high performing list, with its students regularly topping international academic levels. They too operate with fewer school hours, choosing a more content-rich, concentrated curriculum (课程). Dr. Yoshihiko Baba, an education policy adviser for the Japanese government, argues that this concentration of rich content over longer hours is a valuable contributor to their success.
Still, many educators disagree, stating concerns about working parents, child management, and access to meals for lower-income(低收入) families. Yet, in a period when flexibility is key, these problems could be addressed by creative community solutions.
As information continues to pour in, schools should remain open to changing their schedules for the improvement of student well-being and academic performance.
You' ve seen how shorter school days could be the key to improving student well-being and academic performance. It's about making the hours count rather than counting the hours. So,it's time to reflect: Shouldn't we be rethinking the school day length After all, if the goal is to educate well-rounded, happy students who stand out academically, a shorter school day might just be the solution we' ve been searching for.
32. What did Michael Baker find in his research
A. Students concentrate more on philosophy.
B. Studying longer makes little difference.
C. 18 countries support longer school hours.
D. Many students are suffering from burnout.
33. Which is the key to the great performance of Japanese students
A. The subjects they are taught. B. The longer time they spend.
C. The balanced life they have. D. The money their families make.
34. Why are some educators against shorter school days
A. It may be more challenging to parent. B. Communities may not offer the support.
L. Schools can't change their schedules. D. Parents can't afford the education fee.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. Some reasons for shortening school days.
B. Different countries have varied school days.
C. Experts' positive attitude to shorter school days.
D. The necessity of increasing the school day length.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Open a textbook for a foreign language, and one of the first things you see is an alphabet(字母表), listing the letters used in the writing system) and the sounds they represent. 36 And with that, textbooks are off to greetings, words and so on, with little further thought for pronunciation. This is a shame. There is much more about learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent. To begin with, the similar pronunciations given in English and French, for instance, aren't often quite specific indeed. In French, the “p” in Paris sounds rather different from the“p” in English, a difference often ignored in textbooks:the French pronunciation doesn't have the strong puff (喷出) of air of the English one.
37 As with chemistry, the important thing is not just now the elements(元素) behave alone, but how they come together. Each language has rules like this, which many teachers generally know but don't or can't explain.
Consider an easy example. All French words are stressed on the final syllable (音节).French speakers who are familiar with a Texan city (Houston) usually call it yoos-TON, not the English HYOO-ston. The final stress is quite forceful, usually involving a higher sound.Meanwhile, English words often have a secondary as well as a primary stress. In French, the final-syllable stress is so strong as to leave little room for any other one. 38
Another reason why people's information is known by their accents in other languages even if they otherwise master it, is that a language's rhythm (节奏) can be hard to fix.People's accents differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence. Cantonese and Italian, for instance, are“syllable-timed”: every syllable has roughly similar duration. 39 It means that stressed syllables occur on a regular basis.
English-speaking tourists sometimes find themselves speaking English with a strange mixed accent when they go abroad. 40 But as with drumming or dancing, a little clear teaching never hurts.
A. English is“stress-timed”.
B. Language rhythms can be copied.
C. You should try to learn from foreigners.
D. Teachers should teach whatever they master.
E. This is important for unfamiliar systems, such as Russian.
F. Even when textbooks or instructors mention this difference, the next step is often missing.
G. That's why when French people say “Houston”, it sounds foreign to native speakers of English.

Linda was a 16-year-old girl with a head full of wild ideas and a heart filled with passion for art. She lived in a small, beautiful town where the houses were painted softly and the streets were lined with old trees. Every day after school, she would rush home, pick up her sketchbook (写生簿) and pencils, and lose herself in the world of drawing.
One sunny afternoon, while walking through the town square, she noticed a poster for an art competition. The winner would get a chance to display their work in a famous art gallery in the capital city. Her heart raced with excitement at the thought. Without hesitation, she decided to participate.
For the next few weeks, Linda devoted every spare moment to her artwork. She experimented with different colors, techniques, and themes. Sometimes she would stay up late into the night, her eyes fixed on the sketchbook, her hand moving tirelessly. Her parents were supportive, but they also worried about her spending so much time alone with her art. Finally,the day of submission (提交) arrived. Linda carefully wrapped (包装) her painting, a beautiful landscape inspired by the grassland around her town, and dropped it off at the competition address. As the days passed, she waited anxiously for the results.
Then, one morning, a letter arrived in the mailbox. Linda opened it. Her eyes looked at the words quickly, and her heart sank. She hadn't won. Disappointment washed over her like a cold wave. Sl ie felt like all her hard work had been for nothing. That evening, as she sat in her room, staring blankly (茫然地) at her unfinished sketches, her best friend, Cherry, knocked on the door. Cherry could see that Linda was upset.
