Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)
Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665.
① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.
② It was shown that their emotional reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people's personal identity and consciousness (意识).
③ How did that happen By study, people may experience something called a "sustained attentional loop " when they watched a certain painting. The volunteers' attention was first drawn to the girl's left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, "That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not." It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers'attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it's paintings, photography or dancing. She added, "it really helps develop your brain." The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.

Scrooge ate his dinner alone in a nearby inn and then went to his home. This was a dark room above some offices. Even the entrance was dark, Scrooge knew his way in the fog without a light. On the door of the building, there was a large metal door knocker. To Scrooge's surprise, it now looked like Marley's face. It had never looked like this before, and Scrooge had not even thought about Marley since the man had died. Scrooge looked at the door knocker for several moments, and then it changed back to being an ordinary door knocker again. Scrooge told himself that what he had seen had been his imagination. He closed the door and then he went up to his room where he lit a candle. His voice seemed to echo throughout the building. Then another strange thing happened as he climbed the wide stairs. In front of him, he thought he saw a hearse (灵车). He could not be sure, though, because the light from his candle was not very strong. Scrooge was not worried about darkness. He liked it because it was cheap.
Before going to bed, he looked up at an old bell that hung from the ceiling. It was a bell that at one time had been used to send for a servant, but it had not been used for many years. Now, suddenly, it began to move and a few moments later it began to ring. Scrooge was now afraid. He became even more afraid when a few minutes later he heard a loud noise coming from the rooms beneath the building. These were rooms where a wine merchant keeps all his wines.

In many people's eyes, plants are quiet and passive. They can't talk. They can't walk. And they can't think like us.
Or can they A new BBC documentary series The Green Planet gives us a new look at plants. Released on January 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.
Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a "battlefield" in the series as only two percent of the sunlight goes through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get the sunlight. Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa (轻木) tree. As the balsa has slippery hairs on its leaves, the vine can't get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous liquid to protect themselves.
Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to "talk" to each other. It's kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it.
The Green Planet not only lets us amaze at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. "Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe," said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It's time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.
16．What is the show of The Green Planet mainly about
A．Where wonderful plants are.
B．How people change the plants.
C．Why plants can't talk and think.
D．What great behaviours of plants are.
17．What does the word "it" refer to in Paragraph 3
A．the sunlight B．the forest floor
C．the vine D．the leaves
18．Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage
A．A vine can catch up in any other plant.
B．Plants use Wi-Fi to communicate with others.
C．Fungus is a good tool for some plants to "talk" to others.
D．Ninety-eight percent of sunlight can get through to the forest floor.
19．What can we infer according to the last paragraph
A．The plants in the TV show surprise David a lot.
B．Humans should do something to protect wild plants.
C．Wild plants produce all the food for lives on Earth.
D．People can eat and breathe without the help of plants.
20．What can be the best title for the passage
A．The Wonderful Ways Plants Behave
B．The Different Ways Plants Compete
C．The New Ways We Protect Wild Animals.
D．The Important Ways Plants Communicate
After 84 days, the old man looked up and saw the bird was circling again now.
"The bird has found fish," he said aloud. No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it and driving it.
If they don't travel too fast, I will get into them," the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear.
"The bird is a great help," the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled, he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides.

You may think that having less water is because of having less rain, but it is now a problem in southern China, an area in which it rains often.
The government said that Shenzhen was facing its most serious water shortage ever. Other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming "thirsty" though they have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes, The Paper reported. So why are they still short on water
In these big cities, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more water.
Climate change is making the water problem worse. Most cities in Guangdong province depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up.
Water pollution also makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don't use water well. Some cities have enough rain but don't have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water, so the water goes out into the sea.
But there is a hidden water resource (资源) right under our feet. That's "groundwater". We can't see it. However, it plays an important role in our lives. About 98 percent of Earth's fresh water is groundwater. It is 60 times as plentiful as the fresh water in lakes and rivers. But in many places, people overuse and pollute groundwater. We should pay more attention to this hidden water resource.
31．Why are Chengdu and Guangzhou becoming "thirsty"
A．They are in south China. B．They are short on water.
C．They are close to rivers. D．They are having less rain.
32．What made the water problem worse in Guangdong province
A．Climate change. B．Population growth.
C．Water pollution. D．Hidden resources.
33．For what purpose did the author write this article
A．For showing the result of more factories.
B．For explaining how to solve the pollution.
C．For facing the water shortage problem.
D．For introducing how to use groundwater.
34．How is the above text organized
A． B．
C． D．

I recently read an article about how much time the average person spends doing things around the world. The statistics (数据) are changing all the time, of course—and the survey doesn't cover every country so it may not paint a fair picture of some populations, but it was still fascinating.
The survey showed some interesting differences between countries. For example, Mexicans must have fun, because they laugh more than any other population. Germans spend the most time with friends, and surprisingly maybe, Americans play the most sports. Then there are the toe-tapping (欢快的) Russians: the average Russian dance 15 times a month!
When you add up the amount for different activities in an 80-year lifespan (寿命), you get some shocking results. For example, the average person in the developed world will spend about 11 years in front of a computer, phone, or TV screen—much longer than we spend exercising. It's one important reason why we spend about 25% of our whole lives sitting in a chair!
The other main reason is work. A working life for the most people lasts about 116,000 hours (about 13 years), and you may be sitting down all day at a desk or factory machine. That's bad news, since medical studies have shown that sitting down too much is very bad for your health.
Of course, we spend a lot of our lives sleeping, too—about one third of our lives. That might seem like a waste—we could do more with our lives if we didn't sleep. But scientists say that sleep is important to our physical and mental health. And let's face it. If we stayed up all night, we'd probably just spend the extra time checking our phones!
After reading the survey, I thought about all the time I must have wasted over the years just sitting on the sofa. From now on, I've decided that I'm going to watch less TV, spend less time playing video games, and play more sports. Clearly, if I increase my exercise by only 5%, I'll do enough to run around the world twice!
35．What does the writer say about the survey in Para. 1
A．It may not be correct for some countries.
B．A lot of the facts are already out of date.
C．It's only fit for the writer's country.
D．It was boring and not well researched.
36．Which picture shows the sitting and sleeping time correctly if you have an 80-year lifespan
A． B．
C． D．
37．How does the writer show the results of the survey
A．By making descriptions. B．By telling stories.
C．By asking questions. D．By listing numbers.
38．What does the writer probably mean by saying the last sentence
A．A small change could have a big effect.
B．Every coin has two sides.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Running more makes our life perfect.

When we look at a picture of Earth from space, there are areas of green, blue, and white. Most people will recognize that the green is land, the blue is water, and the white is clouds. Taken as a whole, Earth is mainly blue. That is because of the amount of water it has that covers the surface.
So, how much of Earth is water About 71% of Earth's surface is covered in water. Of that 71%, the oceans hold 96.5% of the water. This water found in oceans is all salt water. The remaining 3.5% of the water is fresh water, which can be found in lakes, rivers, glaciers (冰川), and in the ground. Fresh water is what people use for farming, raising animals, drinking, and daily activities such as taking showers and washing clothes or dishes.
Does the amount of water stay the same For the most part, yes. Water on Earth is part of a closed system. That is, water is always moving and changing forms between ice, liquid, and gas. The form of the water changes all the time, but the total amount of water on Earth remains the same.
If Earth is not necessarily running out of water, why are people worried Why do we need to think about saving water First, humans can only use fresh water, which is only 3.5% of all of Earth's water. Second, of this 3.5%, only 1% is available for human use. Most fresh water is found in glaciers far from where anyone lives. Third, the amount of water that is useful for humans is being used faster than it can be cleaned and put back into the environment.
Now, knowing the facts about water, it is our job to make sure we use Earth's water in a good way.
39．Where can 96.5% of the water on Earth be found
A．In oceans. B．In lakes. C．In glaciers. D．In rivers.
40．What does the writer mean by saying "Water on Earth is part of a closed system."
A．The amount of water becomes smaller.
B．The amount of water stays the same.
C．The amount of water keeps changing.
D．The amount of water becomes larger.
41．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．Humans can use all the water on Earth easily.
B．Most fresh water is found in the ground easily.
C．Humans can't use 2.5% of the fresh water freely.
D．Water for humans can be cleaned and recycled fast.
42．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The reasons why Earth is in different colors.
B．The people who use the most water on Earth.
C．The amount and different types of Earth's water.
D．The proper ways for people to use fresh water.
