During the Spring Festival, Ne Zha 2 has become a phenomenon-level animated film, with
cinema attendance rate reaching over 90%. When Ne Zha and Ao Bing had a fierce battle with
Infinite Immortal, the vivid sound effects made me feel as if I were right there on the scene. Suddenly,
a question popped into my mind: How were these impressive sounds created Out of curiosity, I
started searching back home and then entered the mysterious world of Foley artists.
The term Foley was coined in memory of Jack Foley and his contribution to the art of sound
effects. When sound effects were first added into movies, he innovated a unique way of creating
sound effects, recording sounds onto a single track of audio and adding them to actions happening
on the screen accordingly.
Foley artists are like magicians of sound, adding vitality to films. In general, attention to detail
is fundamental to successful Foley artists. They also need to have the ability to recreate sounds
themselves, which requires creativity and imagination. Getting the perfect sound requires trial and
error, which is why patience and persistence are equally important. Even though Foley artists often
work behind the scenes, their cooperation with actors is crucial to capturing the essence of a film.
“You have to act the scene… You have to be the actors and get into the spirit of the story the same
as the actors did, on the set. It makes a big difference,” Jack Foley once stressed.
As I was digging deep, titles like “Fewer than 100 Foley Artists Remain Active Worldwide”
indeed struck me hard. I stumbled upon the sad truth that while Foley work is an incredible addition
to movies, the small number of working artists today may put it on the path to becoming a dying art.
However, Foley work, to my relief, may change as virtual reality develops. Next time you’re
watching a movie, remember those subtle sounds. They are like secret messages from Foley artists,
reminding us they’re always there.
24. What contribution did Jack Foley make to the film industry
A. He invented recording equipment. B. He pioneered sound effect creation.
C. He advanced live recording methods. D. He improved background music.
25. What did Jack Foley value most
A. Being sensitive to details. B. Practising trial and error.
C. Stimulating active imagination. D. Being at one with actors.
26. What does the last paragraph imply
A. Foley work may be redefined in the future.
B. Foley artists may soon be replaced by virtual reality.
C. Modern audiences are well aware of Foley work.
D. Foley work is no longer a must as technology develops.
27. What is the writing purpose of the text
A. To explore the reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success.
B. To persuade readers to engage in Foley work.
C. To discuss the challenges Foley work will face.
D. To introduce Foley work and its significance.

Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen
in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we
could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study.
“These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to
demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s
program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants
took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex
movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus
(SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after
each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI
scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the
effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed
that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means
the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s
disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and
the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years,
says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear.
“We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a
better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods
A. They show consistent conclusions. B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other. D. They fall short of expectations.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By employing computer modeling.
C. By making pre-post comparisons. D. By conducting drug experiments.
30. What did the researchers find about the SCG
A. It is in charge of motor system. B. Dancing slows down its functioning.
C. It can be measured by the GDS. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
31. What is the best title of the text
A. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being
B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits
D. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues

D
Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you
and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that
processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes.
This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元)
make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition,
MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small
changes over time.
To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains
process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’(蝌蚪)neurons respond to moving
stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone
may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process
various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a
continuous scene.
Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying
small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing,
MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing
much better than existing AI models.
Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires
vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing
environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also
transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes
that are difficult for human eyes to detect.
Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments
and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机
体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology
is a gold mine.”
32. What does the underlined word “simulating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Inspiring. B. Copying. C. Recognizing. D. Demonstrating.
33. MovieNet is trained ________.
A. to integrate dynamic images B. to increase visual inputs
C. to feed on information pieces D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons
34. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet
A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its control of medical diseases.
C. Its low energy consumption. D. Its improvement on drug effects.
35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph
A. Biology brings us financial profits.
B. Living organisms can outperform AI.

余选项。
Body Language in the Virtual World
As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention
in real life. 36 Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger
digital impact in video calls.
Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive
you. 37 Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously.
Maintaining a proper posture (姿势)by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression
from the beginning.
38 In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements
can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when
you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate
to others that you are either bored or frustrated.
Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome(综合症). Our facial expressions are visible on
screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But
communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting
bored face” syndrome can set in—a facial expression that others register as boredom. 39
Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks
when you join a video call. 40 While you may be confident that you can successfully do two
or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are
sending other participants will say otherwise.
A. Master the art of employing gestures.
B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts.
C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to.
D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance.
E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls.
F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally.

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。
My cousin Isaiah and I went fishing by the lake. In midweek, no one was around here. The
nearby protected wetlands ran along the shore. Songbirds, ducks, and Canada geese slid by in the
breeze, touching down briefly on the water's surface before flapping (拍打)and quacking their way
back up into the sky.
Standing at the lake's edge, I cast my fishing line onto the smooth-as-glass water. Down the
shoreline was Isaiah, who liked to fish alone, away from noise and other people.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons (潜鸟) crowded
together not far from the shoreline. Loons usually travel alone, but here were five of them in a group.
One loon, making painful sounds, swam away from the group, toward me. It seemed like it was
trying to get my attention.
"Isaiah! Come here!" Isaiah pressed his finger against his lips, pointed to where he had cast his
line, and shook his head gently.
"Just get over here. Now!" I yelled.
He laid his fishing pole down and dragged his feet, moving toward me at a snail's pace.
"Come here!" I yelled again. "Take a look at that loon. It keeps getting closer and closer!" On
hearing this, Isaiah hastened his pace.
The loon stopped in the shallow water near the shore, not ten feet away from us. It was so close
that we could see its red eyes. Oddly, the bird's wings were held tightly against its spotted black-

and-white body. Though scared of its sharp beak (喙), we stepped into the water cautiously. As we
approached the loon, we both saw something around its neck. Reaching down, I touched its head,
my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red hook deeply stuck in its body, and a fishing line
was wrapped tightly around its neck. Left like this, the loon couldn't fly or fish or survive. It was
asking us to help!

Isaiah rushed to grab the scissors from the toolbox and came back. While turning back to the
spot, he shouted at me to grab the poor loon. Realizing he wanted to free the loon from the deadly
fishing line and hook, I did as he required, picking it up gingerly and holding it out at arm's length,
afraid it might stab me with its beak. Upon arrival, he knelt down and cut the fishing line first,
carefully but quickly, in case the scissors hurt it. Then, with great care and gentleness, he pulled out

the red hook that stuck in its body. The loon was finally saved
With a sigh of relief, I set the loon down into the water. The cute creature didn't swim away
immediately, though. Instead, it stared at us for a while, then touched our hands with its head, and
at the same time let out several calls, as if saying thanks to us. Moved and excited, we both stroked
its back gently. Finally, it turned, flapping its wings happily, quacking its way toward the other four
waiting in the distance. Just at that time, I realized all creatures have their own right to live on this
planet. And it's their existence that makes the world beautiful, so we human beings should live in
harmony with other living creatures.

ladder from my neighbor but even then, it took some time to get the cat to trust me. Finally, after a
bit of patience, I managed to reach it and bring it down safely.

organizing clean-up events and planting trees to reduce pollution.

at home.

M: Sorry, I took so long. I couldn’t find our seats anywhere — these cheering sections in this stadium
are crazy right now!
W: It’s a very close match. We’ve only got 20 minutes left. How do you think the game will end
M: I don’t know, Eva. We’ve bought tickets and watched West Ham United F. C. play at home
dozens of times. These games are hard to predict.
W: I know. But look at all of us fans together, cheering on our team from the stands. We can cheer
our team to victory.
M: I hope so. It’s still a draw now. But if the coach doesn’t switch some players on the field, we’ll
definitely lose.
W: Have some faith!
M: Well, as long as we keep up our excellent defense and passing, we’ll stop the visiting team from
winning.
W: Our team’s movement is excellent, and we’ll get at least two more goals in the net by the game’s
end. You’ll see!
M: I hope you’re right!

and spending weekends camping.
W: Sounds great. But I can imagine it’s not all plain sailing. Any challenges you’ve had to face
M: Oh yes. Managing loads of assignments and exams can be quite stressful. And the most serious
problem is the financial issue. My part-time job barely covers all my expenses, so budgeting has
been a real struggle.

M: I mostly study in the university library. It’s a quiet and well-equipped place, perfect for focusing.
W: When do you usually find time to relax

relaxation time at the weekend by hanging out with friends or going for a long walk in the nearby
park.

It’s quite incredible how a simple hobby can turn into a fulfilling and successful career. I want
to share my journey with you, starting from my love for photography. I used to take pictures of
landscapes and people during my free time. It was my way of capturing life’s beautiful moments
and expressing my creativity. Little did I expect that this passion would lead to a career. Over time,
I improved my skills by experimenting with various techniques and attending photography
workshops. Friends and family began to notice my talent and asked me to photograph their events.
This was the turning point. I started doing small jobs like capturing weddings, parties, and special
moments. Word of mouth quickly spread, and soon, I was in demand as a photographer. As my client
base expanded, so did my confidence and ambition. I realized I could turn my hobby into a full-time
career. However, this journey had its challenges. The pressure of delivering perfect photos, the
irregular income, and the competition in the photography world tested my patience. Now, I’ve
established my own photography business, specializing in portrait photography. I’ve traveled to
beautiful places, met wonderful people, and captured countless unforgettable moments. My future
plans include exploring new types of photography, teaching ambitious photographers, and
continuing to find new ways to tell domestic stories through my camera.
