It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait ”
One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me,” Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris agreed.
Peterson’s connect ion with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.
Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities —medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter’s rent ” When the check was delivered, “They both wept in my arms,” Peterson recalls.
Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped.
“People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”
24. What made Peterson start a conversation
A. The curiosity about strangers. B. The touching story of Matt Faris.
C. The disturbance by a homeless man. D. The sympathetic message in Love Does.
25. What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana
A. It pays the homeless salaries.
B. It is an official nonprofit organization.
C. It tries to restore the lives of Peterson’s models.
D. It spends all the money on helping the unhoused.
26. After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ________.
A. lazy and poor B. odd but inspiring
C. disturbing and untidy D. pitiful but respectable
27. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. Art with Purpose: Love Account Matters
B. Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No Race
C. Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective
D. Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New Friends

Film Puts Justifiable Defense in Spotlight
The film, Article 20, directed by Zhang Yimou, draws its name from Article 20 of the Criminal Law, which focuses on the sometimes controversial legal concept of justifiable defense. Drawing inspiration from real-life cases of justifiable defense, the film gained widespread attention and struck a chord with the public during the Spring Festival holiday. The movie calls for a de tailed interpretation of legal terms and urges against compromising on unlawful conduct.
According to the Criminal Law, when a person, faced with an unlawful attack, takes action to protect his or her own rights or interests or those of others, and the attacker is thereby harmed, the defender will be considered to have acted in justifiable defense and will not bear criminal responsibility. For some time, justifiable defense has been regarded as a “dormant clause” (沉寂条款), due to the influence of misconceptions, such as “whoever is injured or killed is right”.
But the true meaning of the law should be to increase the responsibility for wrongdoers, rather than burdening good people. Recent cases have shown that, for ordinary citizens, justifiable defense is no longer a pipe dream. A high-profile case in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, in 2018 served as a wake-up call and caught the attention of authorities regarding such cases. In that case, a traffic argument led to a motorist who took a knife with him confronting another man. The motorist was killed, and police and judges determined that the defender’s actions constituted justifiable defense. Since then, the justifiable defense clause has been applied in several places across the nation. The concern over justifiable defense reflects the public’s demand for fairness, justice, security and rule of law.
Luo Xiang, a renowned professor of criminal law at China University of Political Science and Law, said in a recent comment about the film Article 20 that the public and judges should avoid taking a “godlike” perspective. Instead, they should consider the situation in which the defender was involved, empathize with the defender’s position, and stop themselves from making excessive demands on the defender, Luo said.
28. Why did the film Article 20 attract the audience’s attention
A. It was released during the Spring Festival holiday.
B. It is named after one article in the Criminal Law.
C. It explores real-life cases of justifiable defense.
D. It was directed by Zhang Yimou.
29. According to the Criminal Law, the victim will be free from criminal responsibility when ________.
A. the victim gave up his legal rights
B. the robber kept silent about the robbery
C. the robber was hurt worse than the victim
D. the victim knife d the armed robber to stop the ongoing crime
30. What is the function of the case in Kunshan in Paragraph 3
A. Making comparisons. B. Listing reasons.
C. Explaining misconceptions. D. Providing evidence.
31. What does Luo Xiang suggest judges do
A. Take a “godlike” viewpoint with the public.
B. Put oneself in the defender’s shoes.
C. Demand more from the defender.
D. Side with the attacker.
D
Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is “eating” its host galaxy to death.
The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are “a giant leap forward”, are reported in the journal Nature.
This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be ‘born big’ or they can eat matter at a rate that’s five times higher than had been thought possible. Like all black holes, this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to fuel its growth.
According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected.
The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This “wind” could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole’s source of “food”.
Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. “It’s a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo’s telescope to a modern telescope overnight,” he said. “The universe has been quite generous in what it’s showing us, and this is just the beginning.”
32. What does the underlined word “devours” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Changes. B. Swallows. C. Observes. D. Forms.
33. According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed
A. Because the host galaxy is too small.
B. Because the black hole is killing itself.
C. Because the “wind” ceases star formation.
D. Because black holes produce too much gas.
34. What is Maiolino’s attitude to the new discovery about the black hole
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous.
35. What can we learn from this passage
A. The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size.
B. Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight.
C. The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward.
D. The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the “wind”.

The Failed New Year’s Resolution: Three Tips to Get on Track
January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year’s resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven’t kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that’s not your fault. 36 . If you feel like you have already failed, here are three tips before you let go.
Practice self-compassion
Many people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure. 37 , try to be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.
38
Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals. I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts. 39 . But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with challenges. In contrast, intentions focus more on your values than specific actions. For example, the resolution “I will exercise daily” may become an intention of “I want to move my body because it feels good.” This approach allows for more flexibility when unexpected stress arises.
Solve problems by overcoming barriers
If you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to help you. 40 . This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting something that you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don’t understand how to do it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.
A. Set all-or-nothing goals
B. Change your resolutions into intentions
C. One such skill is called missing links analysis
D. Setting specific behavioral goals can be effective
E. If you’re persuaded to give up on your resolutions
F. Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easy
G. When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions

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。
One day, in the middle of the year, we all filed into the classroom as usual. Mr. Williams followed us, entering the room last, stealthily sidestepping and holding something behind his back.
“I have a surprise for you,” he said, dramatically revealing a plastic bag with a tropical fish in it. He held it up and demonstrated that the fish would be our class pet.
After putting the fish in the tank, he asked us to name it and feed it every day. There was only one rule —not negotiable. We could not, under any circumstances, touch the fish with our hands. Mr. Williams warned us that if he caught any student with the hands in the tank or if our fingers directly came close to those technicolor scales (彩色的鱼鳞), we would be suspended from school for two days, no questions asked. This iron rule was thus formed in our class.
Day after day we’d come to class and feed the fish. There was a girl student named Amy in our class, who was enchanted by this beautiful fish in particular. She often pictured what the fish could do if it were swimming free in the lake. Even sometimes she pressed her face up to the glass watching this rainbow in motion swim back and forth. Over time, she settled on a name for it: Confucius. About a week into Confucius’s desirable family residence, we took turns conducting its daily feeding with caution.
The familiar bell ringing, Mr. Williams casually stepped onto the platform for class. The intense eyes had to fix on him, afraid to neglect the key points of the exam. Suddenly a terrifying sound interrupted our attentive gaze, like a tsunami coming. Unexpectedly, Confucius jumped from the tank to the ground. Maybe it listened to Mr. Williams cheering. Confucius flipped and gasped, struggling desperately on the ground.

Finally Amy got up from her seat. The bright girl, on the verge of tears, flew to Confucius like a gust of wind. “No!” We let out a deafening roar in chaos, with a noisy discussion hanging over the classroom. “The rule!” Mr. Williams’s warning echoed in Amy’s mind repeatedly. “Under no circumstances are you to touch the fish.” Hesitantly, she took a step back. Confucius lay on the ground, with its mouth gasping for air and its tail gradually stopping swinging. We all sat frozen in place, and just watched, at a loss what to do in panic. At this critical moment Amy had an idea. She put the plastic bag over her hand swiftly, picked Confucius up like a live grenade and put it back into the tank. Thankfully, the lovely creature came to life in the water. It swam merrily, as if to express its gratitude to the sweet angel Amy.
Relieved, we turned our eyes to Mr. Williams. Unfortunately, Mr. Williams, with a severe look on his face, told Amy to pack her bags and suspended her from school for two days. “Are you serious ” We were all babbling, wearing a woebegone expression. But Mr. Williams did not show the slightest inclination to change. We flocked to the tank, and pressed our faces up to the glass to watch Confucius, wallowing in our guilt. Just then, Amy raised her heroic hand high, still wrapped in the plastic bag. “Look!” A confident smile spread across her lips. She didn’t touch the fish directly with her fingers. That was not against the rule. Mr. Williams nodded in agreement and went back to lecturing. Delighted and feeling proud of Amy, we all cast eyes now and then on Amy, who invited us to witness how smart it was to apply rules flexibly without violating principles.
