More than three centuries after she made an adventurous transatlantic voyage to study butterflies, a rare copy of the hand-coloured masterwork by the great naturalist and artistMaria Merian is returning to Amsterdam.
Metamorphosis of the Suriname is one of the most fascinating (有吸引力的) books in natural history. It included some 60 richly coloured plates illustrating the different stages of development that she had observed in Suriname's insects. Metamorphosis of the Suriname is a work of art and scientific scholarship. Merian recorded the local names of plants and insects she studied. In contrast to other European naturalists, she credited local people with helping her discover the colony's wildlife, although didn't name individuals.
Born in 1647 in Frankfurt, Germany, Merian learned to paint in her artist father's workshop, and became fascinated by silkworms, moths and butterflies. At that time, insects were believed to spring forth magically from mud, waste and plant matter in a process known as“spontaneous generation”. While Merian was not the first to show the transformation from egg to adult insect, her artistic talents helped to bring this message to a wider audience.The pioneering work of Merian was celebrated for its scientific accuracy and for bringing a new standard of precision to scientific illustration.
In 1691, Merian moved to Amsterdam and opened her own studio. She worked as an independent artist and prepared specimens for a growing market of collectors. In Amsterdam,Merian had access to some of the finest natural history collections in the world. As she associated with famous scholars, physicians and botanists, ideas for her own voyage of discovery began to take shape. At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage toSuriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects.
Her image would be dismissed as a fantasy. In the 18th century, people responded:“that's what you get when you send a woman to tropical places. She probably made that up”. But scientists later confirmed her findings. The spider plate was a very good example of how Merian worked. She was a really good observer.
24. What do we know about Metamorphosis of the Suriname
A. It won a book award for art.
B. It listed the names of local helpers.
C. It recorded Merian's transatlantic voyage.
D. It was based on Merian's own observations.
25. What was the significance of Merian's work
A. It had extremely high artistic value.
B. It was the first natural history book.
C. It shaped our understanding of insects.
D. It introduced a creative research theory.
26. What inspired Merian's idea of a personal journey to Suriname
A. Her encounter with noted scientists.
B. Her ambition to expand her business.
C. Her dream to travel around the world.
D. Her curiosity about the lives of insects.
27. What can be inferred about nature study in Merian's time
A. It lacked convincing evidence.
B. It was conducted in tough places.
C. It was considered the domain of men.
D. It greatly improved women's social status.

Today's digital media deliver rapid messages — such as phone notifications and text overlays on videos — to our brains at an impressive speed, far faster than spoken words reach us. But can we process these texts as quickly as we can determine the makeup of the visuals that are also a part of our screen life
The scientists began their research by considering current scientific explanations of how we understand language, which center on word-by-word sentence processing models.They concluded these don't effectively account for how quickly our brains can process entire sentences seen at a glance, as opposed to word by word like in speech.
The scientists used a technique called magnetoencephalography, which uses magnetic磁的) fields to track electrical activity in the brain. While being scanned, volunteers were resented with a three-word sentence structure that flashed onto a screen for 300illiseconds, followed by a second set of words that was either identical or differed by one ord. The participants were asked to assess whether the second sentence was the same as e first or had been changed.
The scans revealed that the left temporal cortex of the brain, which is an important rt of the brain's ability to understand language, showed higher levels of activity for three-word sentences than random word lists. The activity appeared in just 125 milliseconds.The fastest brain activity was observed when phrases like “nurses clean wounds” were presented, in comparison to noun lists such as“hearts lungs livers”.
A similar rapid response was noted when sentences with a subject, verb and object were altered so that they contained an agreement error — for example “nurses cleans wounds” — or became implausible (难以置信的), for example“wounds clean nurses”. But the effect disappeared when the sentences were given less typical structures, for example“wounds nurses clean” or“wounds cleans nurses”.
While the authors note they focused on English, adding that rapid at-a-glance comprehension may rely on other features in different languages, they say the study offers new insights. “The earliest stage of at-a-glance comprehension appears to be more structure than meaning driven,” they write.
28. What did the new research focus on
A. The impact of constant flood of short messages.
B. Human brain's comprehension of screen visuals.
C. The essence of word-by-word sentence processing.
D. Human brain's at-a-glance sentence comprehension.
29. What task did researchers set for volunteers of the experiment
A. Indicating whether the sentences match.
B. Correcting mistakes in the flashed sentences.
C. Interpreting the meanings of unstructured sentences.
D. Combining unrelated words to form meaningful sentences.
30. Which of the following was associated with the quickest brain response
A. Lists of nouns. B. Three-word sentences.
C. Unstructured words. D. Less typical structures.
31. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning the research
A. Its implication.
B. Its practical application.
C. Expectations for follow-up studies.
D. Scientists with new perspectives.

In Morten Tyldum's movie Passengers, characters Jim Preston and Aurora Lane are on a 120-year interstellar journey with 5,000 other people. Their destination: HomesteadII, a new world to start their lives anew. To survive the travel, passengers entered hibernation (冬眠), each one frozen in their own pod. However, something goes wrong and Jim and Aurora wake up 90 years too early. But what if we told you that hibernation for
space travel is more likely to happen than the romantic story between Jim and Aurora
Hibernation is a state in which living organisms slow down their metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes while maintaining essential functions. Once inside these pods, astronauts will get drugs to adjust metabolism, reduce core temperature, and cause inactivity. Once back on Earth, they will wake up and gradually readopt their normal functional metabolism.
For going to Mars, astronauts would require about 30 kg of food, water, air, and other supplies per day. Thus, hibernation can significantly cut down on their essential needs.Additionally, hibernating astronauts wouldn't get bored, stressed, or lonely, and less time and space would be needed to help keep them fit or entertained.
But this is merely the theory. Space agencies are investigating whether reducing body temperature and later inducing (导致) metabolism is a more practical option, while,most research projects are currently focusing on animals. The question is: how can we evoke hibernation in species that are not normally doing that And this is why the research on rats, not naturally hibernating animals, is interesting. Research on bears is also important since their body size is more relatable to ours.
The concept is not being considered for the forthcoming Mars mission, but for longer missions to farther destinations such as the outer planets, it could be a very useful technology.Hibernation for humans is an ethically controversial concept, and critics may consider it as a mad scientist's dream. However, without such dreamers, humanity would still be in theMiddle Ages.
32. Why does the author mention the movie Passengers
A. To advertise a popular sci-fi space` movie.
B. To introduce a new approach to long spaceflights.
C. To explore the possibility of settling another planet.
D. To reveal the potential dangers of long space travels.
33. What happens to hibernating astronauts
A. Their functional metabolism is disturbed.
B. They need more time and space for entertainment.
C. They lose the balance between basic needs and supplies.
D. Their physical and mental needs are reduced to a minimum.
34. What does the underlined word“evoke” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Initiate. B. Justify. C. Define. D. Prioritize.
35. What does the author think of hibernation for humans
A. It may be a risky strategy.
B. It is a dream hard to realize.
C. It can advance social progress.
D. It challenges traditional moral values.

How to handle criticism in a healthy way
Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger (引发) feelings such as anger,shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. 36 Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism,but it can also help you move forward in life. Here's how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage.
Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That's an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If vou have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. 37
Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life,we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. 38 Accept the fact that the other person's comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement.
,9 If criticism is feedback, it's important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he's probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to.
Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they' re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they' re not trying to be helpful, they’ ve taken the time to respond to you. 40 Causing a reaction means you' ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful.
A. Respond calmly.
B. Practice active listening.
C. It is quite normal to feel hurt.
D. It can be an opportunity to improve.
E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence.
F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings.
C. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment.

We all have dreams. Yet so few of us realize them. Often, a dream dies as quickly as it is born because we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough to understand the realities of life, I realized that society puts a high value on youth, beauty and intellectual achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream.
I know beauty is something I will never have. So I didn't dream of becoming beautiful.But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my other qualities. What people see in the disabled is only their appearance of being disabled.People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every disabled person.
My dream was simple. I dreamed of becoming a typist. I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter. This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job. I come from a poor family and the best that my parents could give me was a good school education.But, of course, this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of getting a job in an office.The employment field was a highly competitive place, especially for a disabled job-seeker.
However, I refused to give in. I decided to take a six-month training course in typing.I filled in the detailed information in the application form and wrote down typing as my training course. When I handed over the form to the interviewer, she looked at me and then moved her eyes to my body. She left and discussed with another member of the staff.When the interviewer returned, she advised me to change my choice from typing. “Why don't you take up dressmaking so you can earn while at home ” she said. “Offices prefer to hire smartly dressed, pretty girls with beautiful hands,” she added.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office.

Dear Chris,
I'm writing to share with you a couplets writing activity I joined in last Friday.
At the local community center, we engaged in writing couplets to express our wishes for a happy, peaceful and healthy Chinese New Year. With a steady hand and a focused mind, we carefully wrote each character, creating meaningful couplets. These couplets, featuring wishes for good fortune, health, and family harmony, were sent to the locals to share the joy of welcoming the New Year.
This activity turned out a great success, which not only helped us improve our handwriting,but also promoted our understanding of Chinese traditional culture, including calligraphy and ancient poetry.
Yours,
Li Hua
