For Tamary Kudita, photography is a vehicle for honoring people's histories and cultural expressions. From a conceptual aspect, she was drawn to photography by the idea of being an author. She shares that being able to see the beauty in the ordinary and translating that into a visual language that speaks to people really attracted her. From a technical standpoint, she was amazed by the science of painting with light and seizing the moments that pass by quickly. These elements ultimately shaped her artistic career.
Her series, African Victorian, grew from a desire to recognize the lived truth of others. She creates suggestive worlds by placing clues about their lives and their sometimes-invented characters into the compositions. Through these fantastical photos, she attempts to create a new literature that borrows from the artistic thought and practice of both Romanticism and Realism. In the same way, Romanticism took a metaphorical (隐喻的) approach to art while Realism took a literal one; she makes paintings of everyday people from contemporary life in Zimbabwe, as well as larger-than-life heroes who exist in history. ”
One of the most eye-catching elements in her photography is the outfits worn by her models, which are charged with symbolism. “The dresses represent layers of significance, from their conception in the pattern-making stage to the way they are sewn together, ” she shares. Her dresses represent the idea of a future-facing image of female identity, previously ignored but now becoming highly visible.
By putting her heritage at the forefront, she has developed a unique visual language. Being a Zimbabwean photographer has taught her that we have the power to reinterpret the meaning of life through the cameras. By creating a new understanding of life and existence, photography can be a social vehicle that shifts perceptions (感知) and changes in society.
24. What does paragraph 1 want to tell us
A. The importance of photography. B. The motivation for Kudita's career.
C. The suggestions on taking good photos. D. The ways of finding beauty in the ordinary.
25. What do we know about African Victorian
A. It is the work of a well-known writer.
B. It tells Kudita's experiences in Zimbabwe.
C. It shows people's great passion for art in Zimbabwe.
D. It describes life from the past to the present in Zimbabwe.
26. What does Kudita focus on when taking photos
A. The models' dresses. B. The models' identities.
C. The models' body types. D. The models' facial expressions.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Photography is a reflection of the society. B. Beauty is a vital element in photography.
C. Photography reveals the positive side of life. D. People's attitudes to photography have changed.
C
Weed control is essential for improving crop yields, but it is increasingly difficult. Some weeds are becoming resistant to weed killers, which face stricter regulations and, in some cases, are being banned. On top of that, many consumers want organic produce. Worker shortage means that using a weed puller behind a big farm machine is expensive, time-consuming, and difficult.
Weeding is a chore that most farmers would happily hand to robots. But for a robot to do the job properly, it must be able to distinguish a weed from what is being grown. This is becoming easier with advances in computer vision. Some phone apps can now identify a plant from just a photo. Robots equipped with cameras will weed and perform various tasks automatically.
Having spotted a weed, several ways exist to try to kill it. The Small Robot Company's weeding robot, called Dick, uses electricity to kill them. The robot's wheels work like an electrode (电极) to contact the ground while another electrode is moved to touch the plant. This allows energy to flow through the plant, generating heat that effectively boils the plant's cells, killing it instantly. The pieces of the plant can then be left to naturally break down into the soil.
Dick will work with Tom and Harry, all of them electrically powered. The idea, says Ben Scott-Robinson, is that Tom will routinely scan fields to a level of detail of just a few centimeters. Using its cameras and other sensors, the thin four-wheel-drive machine can map the health of every plant, along with soil conditions. When weeds appear, Dick will be sent to kill them. Harry, the third robot, is under development for tasks such as seeding and applying precise levels of fertilizer to each plant. Tom will go into commercial production in August. Unlike many vegetables, cereals (谷类) are grown more densely in rows, which makes the mechanical hoeing (锄) of weeds tricky. Armed with Tom's methods, Dick should be able to kill grassy weeds in cereals accurately.
28. What is the challenge in weed control
A. Weeds are growing too fast. B. Robots are not capable of weeding.
C. Organic produce dominates the market. D. Weed killers are facing stricter regulations.
29. What can be inferred about the use of robots in farming
A. Robots can be farmers' good helpers. B. Robots are only able to harvest crops.
C. Robots can monitor the crops' growth. D. Robots are too expensive for most farmers.
30. What is Tom's role in the Small Robot Company's robot system
A. It is a mechanical hoe for cereals. B. It scans fields and maps plant health.
C. It is under development for future tasks. D. It is responsible for seeding and fertilizing.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The invention of a new type of robot. B. The development of organic farming.
C. The challenges and solutions in weed control. D. The increasing resistance of weeds to weed killers.

With just nine months left until Osaka Expo 2025, construction is fully underway. Held on an artificial island —Yumeshima in Osaka Bay—the event was master-planned by Sou Fujimoto Architects with the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”. At the core of the six-month event are the incredible National Pavilions.
Often designed by popular architects, these pavilions (展馆) frequently feature unique appearances and architectural details. Reuse and sustainability are common themes in the event's designs. Many structures have been designed for use long after the event, with plans to disassemble and move them or use the materials in new construction projects.
While the rising cost of materials has raised some concerns about the number of pavilions to be constructed, there is still plenty to look forward to. The official Expo 2025 Instagram even previewed Singapore's pavilion under construction. We're sure to see more images like this in the lead-up to opening day in April 2025.
In the meantime, the official Expo 2025 Instagram is generating excitement about what's to come by sharing design previews for 15 different national pavilions. These architectural treasures will be open to the public from April 13 to October 13, 2025. Here is a preview of some National Pavilions designed for Osaka Expo 2025.
Inspired by Kuwait's characteristic landscape and tradition, LAVA (Laboratory for Visionary Architecture) designed a pavilion with two symbolic wings that hug incoming visitors and light up in a nod to the country's role as a sign of culture and tolerance.
Lina Ghotmeh's design for the Bahrain Pavilion highlights its rich maritime heritage as a major trade port. The Lebanese architect was also influenced by the shape of a dhow (单桅帆船) —a traditional wood sailing ship used throughout the Persian Gulf.
Kengo Kuma & Associates was also inspired by the d how when they designed Qatar's pavilion. Created in cooperation with Qatar Museums, it connects traditional Japanese skills with Qatar's boat construction. In doing so, it honors the connection these two countries share thanks to the sea.
32. What do we know about the construction of Osaka Expo 2025
A. It has been completed. B. It is in process.
C. It is being planned. D. It will be designed.

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。
There were two things that Jack decided he didn't like on the first morning at his new school: Jessy and reading aloud for all to hear and judge. His initial plan was to act sick and stay at home, but his mom sent him to school. To make things worse, he had to sit next to Jessy.
During the reading time, Mrs. Thomas asked Jack to read. Reading aloud always made Jack nervous. As he picked up the book, his hands shook and the words blurred. “He can't read, ” Jessy said. “I didn't call on you, did I ” asked Mrs. Thomas. “No, but I'll read.” Jessy insisted. Jack made an annoyed face, and so it ended up with a stop. Jessy whispered to Jack, “When my mom brings my kittens (小猫) to school, don't even think about touching them.”
The four kittens arrived in a box covered with a wooden board. Everyone except Jack held them. All this happened while Jack practiced spelling and didn't seem to be interested in the kittens. When he sharpened his pencil, however, he looked into the tiny box secretly. “Don't touch my kittens! ” Jessy commented. “Dumb kittens, ” Jack said.
After a while, the children took out their arithmetic books. Then Philip said, “Hey, where are the kittens ” The box was empty. “Oh no! ” Jessy said. “Jack, did you take them ” Jack shook his head, “They must have pushed up the lid. ” “He said they were dumb,” Jessy told Mrs. Thomas. “I didn't mean it.” Jack's face turned red. “Look at the radiator (暖气片) !” Philip said. Tiny gray paws pushed out from under the radiator cover. “Kitty, kitty,” Mrs. Thomas said. The paws disappeared. “If we ignore them, maybe they'll come out. At least the heat isn't on. ”
Soon, two paws and a tiny head appeared. Jessy yelled, “Kitten! ” The kitten moved back out of sight quickly. Jessy cried in disappointment. Feeling sorry for her, Jack handed her a tissue.
Then the bell rang, and the class lined up and ran out for break-time exercise (课间操) . When Jack passed the empty box, he saw kitten treats (零食) inside.

Jack got an idea and he went towards Mrs. Thomas. “Mrs. Thomas, can I stay in the classroom for break-time exercise I can get the kittens out, ” he offered. Mrs. Thomas nodded. With the treats in his hand, Jack sneaked over to the radiator. He then sprinkled the treats beside him. One kitten cautiously came out. Jack patiently waited until it started eating. Another kitten appeared when it saw its sibling eating. Jack carefully took them in his hands and placed them into the box. He sprinkled more treats. Soon, four more tiny paws emerged. The other two kittens began eating too. Jack softly put the last two kittens in the box and placed a book on top of the board so the kittens couldn't escape.
When the class returned, Jessy noticed the sound coming from the box. “Jack has prepared a surprise for you. ” Mrs. Thomas said with a smile. Seeing all the kittens in it, Jessy covered her mouth, her eyes wide open. Mrs. Thomas announced to the class, “Jack rescued the kittens. ” Everyone cheered. “Thank you, ” Jessy whispered to Jack. “You're the best. ” Jack was so happy and proud of himself that he was no longer lacked self-confidence as he did before.

W: I think it's actually good for table tennis itself. I mean its global development. (9)
M: You mean we'll see better skills and techniques
W: Yes, exactly. Players from all over the world will be encouraged to develop their skills. It's also good for people to learn to discuss the results of sports peacefully.
M: Yes, that's true.

M: Is that a smart watch (10)
W: Yes! (10) My dad bought it for my birthday.
M: It's cute! What can it do
W: I can receive calls and texts, but I can't really reply to texts on it. I can send symbols, like a smiling face, but that's it. (10)
M: I see.
W: But it's great for health and fitness! It counts my daily steps for me.
M: Right! You're supposed to take 10, 000 steps a day, aren't you
W: Yes, to maintain general fitness. But I aim to take at least 15, 000 steps a day. (11)
M: How many have you done so far today (11)
W: Let's see. . . just over 8000. (11)
M: Not bad!
W: It has definitely encouraged me to be more active. I used to take the bus to school, if my parents couldn't drive me. Now, I walk to school every day, (12) so I can get the steps!

M: I think I'm going to order the chicken salad. What about you (13)
W: I'll have the same. (13)
M: OK, great. I'll try to get the attention of the waiter next time I see him. (13)
W: You know, you really seem to be making an effort to be healthy these days, Dad.
M: Well, my doctor said that, at my age, I need to look after my heart.
W: And he's right! But I'm really proud of you. Cycling to work, eating more vegetables, you've even joined a gym!
M: Well, it hasn't always been easy. Sometimes I still want a nice fat cheeseburger! (14)
W: Well, it's OK to eat your favorite foods sometimes. (14)
M: And I do. But I'd never go back to my old lifestyle. I've lost weight, and my blood pressure has reduced.
W: Great!
M: The best thing is how much more energy I have. (15) I was feeling so old. Now, I jump out of bed every morning!
W: I'm so pleased!
M: The only thing I still struggle with is drinking enough water. I hate the taste. (16)
W: Have you tried it with lemon It's much nicer.
M: Good tip! I'll have to try that.
