FAMOUS CHINESE PAINTINGS, ARTISTIC TREASURES
With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.
Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi
The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor's daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.
Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang
During the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan
Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.
A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng
Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only eighteen years old.

Winning the 2023 Academy Award for Best Actress, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian woman to take home a lead acting statue. She was invited to share some wisdom at the graduation ceremony in the American Film Institute.
Michelle Yeoh recalled her early years. She found her gift was to communicate through movement Yeoh trained tirelessly day and night. Dance was her bright future and destined path. Unfortunately, life had other plans. A serious spinal(脊柱的) injury entirely tore her dream, and she was in despair. Yet, her principal encouraged her to stay loose about her future. With this in mind, she captured the freedom to make choices she might not have otherwise been able to.“When the challenge came, I knew it was make-or-break time,” Yeoh said.
Yeoh chose to be a cool stuntwoman(特技表演者). “The first thing they taught me was to roll forward, how to fall on my side, and then back,” she recalled. The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated(过度旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn't land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.
“There were injuries as you can imagine but with every inch of skin, I came back better and braver. It struck me that learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added. It was not the unbearable pain but desired progress that guided Yeoh to the Oscar stage. “What I want to say is that our falls are the secret to our flight. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. Don't be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.
24.What do we know about Michelle Yeoh
A.She was keen on ballet and had a bright future.
B.She was in despair after a serious injury to her leg.
C.She was the first Asian to win the Academy Award for Best Actress.
D.She was giving a speech about her school experience.
25.How did the principal's encouragement prove beneficial
A.It advised Michelle Yeoh to accept the reality and let it be.
B.It inspired Michelle Yeoh to be open-minded towards the future.
C.It reminded Michelle Yeoh to stick to her dream and go for it.
D.It urged Michelle Yeoh to transfer her career from dance to the stunt.
26.Why did Michelle Yeoh mention “jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass”
A.To pave the way for the life lesson she would learn.
B.To stress the importance of mastering the rolling skills.
C.To showcase the barriers she faced when dancing on stage.
D.To admit a mistake she made when she was inexperienced.
27.Which of the following statements matches Michelle Yeoh's spirit the most
A.Do what the clock does. Keep going.
B.Believe you can and you're halfway there.
C.No one can disappoint you except yourself.
D.The greatest glory lies in rising every time we fall.
C
Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot.
Housed in a huge mirrored, bowl-shaped depot(仓库) attached to the museum in the Dutch port city, its collection of 151,000 artworks by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Oscar-Claude Monet will be accessible to visitors from Saturday.
“It is the only fully accessible public depot that is open in the world,” museum director Sjarel Ex told AFP as the media toured the building on Tuesday ahead of the opening. “What happens here is that you do not follow the script that was written by a curator. You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.”
“Normally, only some 6 to 10 percent of collections at major museums around the world like the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen are on display, and the rest are kept in closed storage depots,” said Ex. That will now change for the Rotterdam institution. Visitors will even be able to watch works being restored. “If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork. As a result, it is very likely that it is into oblivion—out of sight,” he said.
The project whose cost was around 92 million euros has mainly been covered by private donations, featuring five different temperature zones for different types of artworks. The depot was originally created to solve a very serious problem—the possibility of flooding in a low-lying country where a third of the land sits below sea level. The old basement below the museum was likely to let in water, making it unsuitable for storage. “Every building is a moment in time, so this celebrates for sure the climate,” said its architect, Winy Maas. “Why Because it's the reason for the existence of this building—the former archives were under water. It was flooding, so we have to bring it up.”
28.What makes the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen special
A.It lies on a site below sea level.
B.Most of its collections are donations.
C.It has the most collections in the world.
D.It is the world's first museum to exhibit all collections.
29.What do we know from Sjarel Ex's words
A.Collections are not supposed to be shown.
B.The curator guides visitors around the museum.
C.Visitors can discover the collections in person.
D.The depot is just open to the public occasionally.
30.What does the underlined word “oblivion” mean in paragraph 4
A.Being forgotten. B.Being preserved.
C.Being memorized. D.Being honored.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Held Its First Exhibition
B.A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in the Globe First
C.A Dutch Museum Was Rebuilt After Being Damaged by Flood
D.Major Museums in the World Will Display the Whole Collections
D
Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned.
Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea. The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be.
More than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland were researched, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study showed the large areas of the sea the four seabird species use. They found that it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It showed how far they travelled from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there.
The four species studied require conservation help, with kittiwake numbers declining by 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down by 61 percent. This means both seabirds are “red-listed” and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are “amber-listed”, which means they are considered to need conservation action.
Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey(猎物) is declining because of human pressure, including climate change. The result is that thousands of baby seabirds are dying each year because their parents can't feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.”
“The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management,” the experts said.
32.How did the experts track the seabirds
A.With the help of satellites.
B.With the help of the fishermen.
C.By observing human activities.
D.By feeding the seabirds.
33.Which is one of the purposes of the study
A.To find out where to catch more fish.
B.To judge which areas of the sea should be protected.
C.To know the seabirds' impacts on human beings.
D.To study the behavior of British and Irish seabirds.
34.On which country's coast would most tracked seabirds gather
A.France. B.Ireland. C.Spain. D.Scotland.
35.What's Dr. Ewan's attitude towards the research
A.Puzzled. B.Doubtful.
C.Positive. D.Disappointed.

“Exercise snacking” does good
Health experts used to say you needed to exercise for at least ten minutes at a time to gain any benefit. 36 That's why the WHO guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior no longer recommend a minimum time for an exercise session. Meanwhile, scientists have adopted the term “exercise snacking” to refer to bursts of physical activity that take little time. 37 It's still ideal to get longer exercise sessions regularly, but you'll benefit from any amount that you can fit into your day.

Lifting your voice in a choir(合唱团) has cognitive(认知的) benefits, according to a Finnish study published in PLOS ONE. The study found that elderly singers had better verbal fluency compared to non-singers. This makes sense, since it's a hobby that requires attention, information processing, linguistic output, learning and memory.
Patients with Parkinson's disease should hit the golf links.
39 But many patients lack the motivation. In an effort to identify physical activity that's beneficial, research presented at the American Academy of Neurology compared tai chi—which is known to greatly improve balance and prevent falls—to golf, a favourite sport of many people over 55. 40 Just as importantly, 86 per cent of golfers said they were “definitely” likely to continue the activity after the study's end, compared to 33 per cent of the tai chi group.
A.Choir singing boosts the brain.
B.Developing hobbies improves memory.
C.Short bursts of exercise will benefit the health in the short term.
D.However, evidence has shown that anything is better than nothing.
E.The patients playing golf saw their balance and walking ability improve.
F.Exercise is one of the most powerful treatments for people with Parkinson's disease.
G.Examples include a few push-ups, 60 seconds on a bike, or a jog up a flight of stairs.

Jesse Dufton was born with a genetic(遗传的) condition, retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎),and over the years, his eyesight gradually worsened. By the time he went to university in Bath to study chemistry, it had got to the point where he couldn't really see images at all,only the difference between light and dark. And a few years later, he was almost 100% blind.
Jesse's mum was a teacher and his dad ran a charity, and they've always encouraged and supported him in everything.
Jesse started climbing when he was young. His dad took him up his first rock route when he was two. All his early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing. His dad had been in the Mountain Rescue and was part of the mountaineering club, so they would go climbing for weekends throughout the UK.
Jesse's father taught him everything and guided his first route outside when he was 11. At this time he had about 30% blurry(模糊不清的) central vision. He could just see well enough to place rock climbing equipment, but not well enough to pick out the routes from the ground.
At university he joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently. They had regular trips to indoor walls and spent weekends outdoors. He developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe. On these he started Alpine climbing and ice climbing too.
But when his sight dropped to a level where he could no longer read, it started to be difficult to place equipment as he couldn't see whether it was properly seated. He also stopped being able to pick out the holds on indoor walls.
Jesse thought he might have to give up climbing as his eyesight got worse. But his parents never gave up hopes for him. They planned climbing for the family and encouraged Jesse to have a try again. Jesse smiled because he knew his parents would always be his best guide.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
It was a route like a milestone(里程碑) and it was not easy.
Some people asked Jesse why he chose to try climbing.

第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear friends,
As we can see, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. Protecting the environment is our responsibility and it's high time we should set about doing something.
First, we suggest everyone go to school on foot or by bike. Using public transportation can also be a practical alternative. Besides, we are against throwing waste everywhere. It's rubbish bins that the waste should be put into.Finally, small actions such as saving water can make a great difference to our earth.
My friends, what I say doesn't count;it's what we do that matters. I'm fully convinced that our joint effort will pay off in the long run.
Thank you!
The Students' Union
第二节
One possible version:
It was a route like a milestone(里程碑) and it was not easy. In spite of Jesse's bad eyesight, he still made up his mind to give it a try as a brave and positive person. Looking tired and pale, the tall and thin boy fell down many times during the climbing because of the rough road. What's worse, he couldn't see it clearly. Whenever he felt discouraged and depressed, his parents would cheer on him. Inspired by them, he insisted on climbing up all along. Finally, he reached the top under the guidance of his parents. Although exhausted and breathless, he was full of joy and yelled with excitement,“I made it!”
Some people asked Jesse why he chose to try climbing. With a proud smile on his tanned face, he explained that climbing brought him not only joy but also a sense of satisfaction. Besides, he sincerely expressed his gratitude to his selfless parents. Without their support and encouragement, never could he complete such a challenging task. Most importantly, he realized that it is perseverance that is the key to success.
