For the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition, the Musée d’Orsay, which houses the world’s largest collection of this current, is offering a major retrospective (回顾展) of this artistic trend with Paris 1874: Inventing Impressionism from March 26 to July 14.
150 years ago, on April 15, 1874, in a luxurious photographer Nadar’s studio in northern Paris, Berthe Morisot, Edouard Degas and Claude Monet came together as a cooperative limited company to open the first Impressionist exhibition, a movement that would forever change the course of art history.
The retrospective will take visitors on a virtual tour to the very moment 150 years ago. During the 40-minute immersive (沉浸的) tour, visitors will spend a virtual evening with the famous impressionists and travel by steam train to Bougival, west of Paris, where many of them worked. Visitors will then tour the main exhibition, which opens into a gallery with Renoir’s La Parisienne and La Danseuse that featured in the 1874 exhibition, and other impressionist paintings, drawings and sculptures.
“The immersive experience is unique and innovative. You can go into this exhibition and relive the evening with the artists and discover the origin of this movement. We want to recreate the emotion for visitors of the 1874 exhibition,” said Abastado, director of digital development at the Musée d’Orsay.
Guidelines:
* The experience is suitable for children of 11 y/o and above; children under 8 y/o are prohibited.
*We remind you that, in view of the technology used, virtual reality experiences are not recommended for people with balance or vision disorders.
*Walkers and motorized wheelchairs are not permitted in the space, but manual wheelchairs are accepted.

Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment.
One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.
I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago.
The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, non e of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local.
Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention—a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth...
As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family.... The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.
Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward—to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.
4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy
A. Shortage of adequate funds. B. Discomfort in dietary habits.
C. Overstatement of travel’s effects. D. Danger of petting baby animals.
5. What drove the author to go to Athens
A. Meeting a commitment. B. Exploring a unique landscape.
C. Receiving further education. D. Escaping from the current life.
6. What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to
A. Poems written by masters. B. Peace and simplicity.
C. Spirit of craftsmanship. D. Special sound in the street.
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self
C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary
C
In 2022, the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to better perform regenerative management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage.
Applauded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas.
The cows are outfitted with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound signaling it to turn around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, signaling that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group.
Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20% of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking.
“Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy.
8. What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2
A. Its smart design. B. Its major advantages. C. Its wide application. D. Its working principles.
9. What does the mild shock indicate to the cow
A. It’s time to return. B. It’s time to graze.
C. It’s in danger. D. It’s in a wrong direction.
10. What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle
A. Intense efforts. B. Polluted soil. C. Financial failure. D. Ecological imbalance.
11. What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing
A. Intolerant. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Conservative.
D
Over the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences.
In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something . new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most.
There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though.
Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children.
Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process.
12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1
A. Priority. B. Assumption. C. Shift. D. Preference.
13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts
A. It tends to be forecastable. B. It mirrors common beliefs.
C. It usually leads the times. D. It enjoys instant acceptance.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. Creative works withstand the test of time. B. Mass-produced items are preferable.
C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottles. D. Inventiveness starts from childhood.
15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To clarify a concept. B. To launch an appeal.
C. To offer an entertainment. D. To advocate a lifestyle.

Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. 16 One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich.
If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. 17 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 18
The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 19 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note.
20 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance.
A. It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though.
B. Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback.
C. The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback.
D. The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication.
E. Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly.
F. It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible.
G. This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback.

The Champion of No Score
Maggie hated Tuesdays-Tuesdays meant gym class, gym class meant picking teams and picking teams meant Maggie would be picked last.
As a newcomer, she’d come up with a special title for each classmate to remember the other kids. There was Kevin, Champion of the Clean Desk, Lynnie, Champion of Knowing the Answer First.... Thinking hard, she finally decided her own title: Champion of Quiet.
Maggie felt blue as Tuesday fell again. Mr. Murphy, the gym teacher, asked for volunteer captains to pick their own basketball teams. The usual hands shot into the air. Maggie sighed and glanced to her right. She caught the eye of Jasmine, Champion of Awkward, a girl who was sometimes picked last, too. Then Maggie had an idea. So when Mr. Murphy asked if anyone else wanted to volunteer, Maggie felt her hand slowly rise. Looking again at Jasmine, she took a big breath. Maybe it was time for her to use her voice.
“Maggie ” Mr. Murphy smiled. “You want a turn ”
“Yes,” she said.
The class whispered. Maggie leading a team
“Yes,” she answered again, louder this time.
Mr. Murphy waved Maggie to the front, where the other three captains-Champion of Jumping Rope, Champion of Never Misses a Shot, and Champion of Doesn’t Know How to Lose-stood, ready to choose their teams.
“Maggie, you get first pick,” said Mr. Murphy. “Jasmine,” announced Maggie. The class snickered. A joke More than once, Jasmine had tried to score on the wrong basket. Eyes wide, Jasmine took her place beside Maggie. The other three captains called out familiar names—the best players on the basketball court. It was Maggie’s turn again. “I choose Frank.” Frank (Champion of the Untied Shoelace) could not throw, or catch. He knew what it felt like to be the last pick. But not today.
Three very talented teams took shape. And then there was Maggie’s team. Maggie looked at her teammates. There stood Jasmine and Frank, plus Gillian (Champion of Chatter) and George (Champion of Sleepy). “I have chosen the worst team in the history of the world,” Maggie thought to herself.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court.
They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them.

Dear Ryan,
Thrilled to hear about your plans for the English Reading Bar, I would heartily recommend fantasy novels as a captivating choice for our students.
Filled with thrilling adventures and memorable characters, fantasy novels can transport readers into magical and imaginative worlds. These narratives, often rich in detail and creativity, spark the imagination and curiosity of young minds. Moreover, they encourage us students to think outside the box and develop a deeper understanding of human nature and ethical dilemmas. By discussing these books, we students can engage in lively debates, exchange ideas, and broaden our perspectives, all enhancing our critical thinking skills.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that fantasy novels will be a thought-provoking addition to the English Reading Bar, fostering a deeper appreciation for literature among our students.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Best regards,
Li Hua

Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. The other teams looked at them with scornful smiles, assuming that the game would be a quick and easy victory. As
the game began, Maggie’s team displayed a surprising lack of skill, but they played with heart and determination. Jasmine’s awkward attempts at scoring drew laughter, but she persevered. Frank’s untied shoelaces tripped him up repeatedly, but he never gave up. Gillian’s chatter turned into encouraging shouts, and George’s sleepy eyes lit up with the excitement of the game. Hard as they tried, they lost the game.
They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. For the first time, they tasted the fulfillment and joy of being an integral part of a team. They transformed from a group of individuals to a cohesive unit, supporting and celebrating each other. As the final buzz er sounded, Maggie turned towards her team, beaming with pride. “We are, indeed, the Champions of No Score!” she declared and her teammates erupted into cheers. It enlightened them that victory was not solely determined by the scoreboard, but about the journey and the spirit of teamwork.
