Leaves will soon make their gradual change to vivid colors of yellow, orange and red as we head through the fall months, but when you can usually expect peak color to arrive depends on where you live.
When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You
— Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first.
— Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well.
— November: Much of the mid - Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November.
Why Do Leaves Change Color
A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall.
What Makes A Good Colorful Season
Location matters:
Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role:
The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures.
Soil moisture (湿度):
Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning:
If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color.
So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight!
21. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region
A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November.
22. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors
A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours.
C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature.
23. What may ruin the full display of peak color
A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm.
B
37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.
Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting.
Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months.
Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through strict teaching and setting high standards.
Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangible characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.”
“My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says.
24. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text
A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes.
B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life.
C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child.
D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background.
25. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3
A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills.
B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China.
C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China.
D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera.
26. What kind of person is Pilotti
A. Original and dedicated. B. Adaptable and strict. C. Passionate and considerate. D. Committed and conventional.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success
B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera
C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts
D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China
C
Visiting museums has become increasingly popular among many people. Generally, when adults look at an artwork, they are guided by their knowledge and expectations while following the introduction on labels(标签). But children take a different view; they are driven by things such as bright colors or big shapes. Though many museums have special learning activities designed for children, there are still many shows where children’s only way to get information is through labels written for adult visitors.
In a recent study, our research team used eye - tracking technology to explore how the information about artwork influenced children. We compared how children aged between 10 and 12 dealt with three types of descriptions. They included the adult - focused labels already in place at the museum, playful storytelling labels suitable for children, and no information at all. We produced color maps to show where the children directed their gaze, so as to know their overall experiences
The results were surprising. The children provided with child - focused labels looked at the artworks differently from those who read adult - focused descriptions. They fixed their eyes on key parts of the paintings pointed out by the playful descriptions. They also spent more time checking and understanding some features, and even turning to museum educators for help. However, the children who received adult - focused explanations behaved in the same way as children who received no information at all. Their attention was aimless, and they rushed through the artworks.
For museums, these results suggest a need to rethink how labels are designed, especially for children. Also, our research opens new doors for art education. We know that when teachers take traditional methods, such as reading from textbooks or giving speeches, students find it hard to connect with the art. But lessons could include stories, like presenting historical artists and movements in ways that connect with children’s everyday experiences and interests. The guided exploration could encourage students to discuss different parts of an artwork and develop a deeper understanding of art.
28. What is the problem with many museum shows
A. Using too many simple labels.
B. Failing to meet adults’ learning needs.
C. Offering few early education programs.
D. Missing child - friendly viewing guidance.
29. How did the children given child - focused labels behave
A. They thought highly of the paintings. B. They finished viewing the artworks faster. C. They explored the artworks more actively. D. They often doubted the humor in descriptions.
30. What can schools do to improve art education based on the study
A. Add storytelling to art experiences. B. Use modern technology for art classes.
C. Draw ideas from traditional art teaching. D. Organize more museum visits for students.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Adult - centered Exhibits Impact Children Negatively
B. New Technology Reveals Children's Art Preferences
C. Designing Museum Labels for Young Visitors' Needs
D. Improving Art Education through School Programs
D
Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as "DeformIO", uses air - powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapses around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and "feeling" the hardness of products virtually.
Though DeformIO, which is 3mm thick with a 140 mm surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile (触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. "In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface," lead author James Nash said.
If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen.
It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It's possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. "We hope that in 10 to 20 years' time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we're exploring the applications it might be best suited to." Nash said.
32. What can be learned about DeformIO
A. It's a protective layer for screens. B. It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C. It performs different tasks together. D. It senses changes in users' identity.
33. What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs
A. Its adaptable appearance. B. Its better - quality sensors.
C. Its small size and light weight. D. Its more realistic sense of touch.
34. What does the underlined phrase "interface with" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Mix up B. Assist with C. Connect with D. Improve on
35. What challenge might DeformIO face
A. Low customer interest. B. Technical design limitations.
C. Lack of development funds. D. Strong competition within the industry.

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。
The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing (粘) a maple chair leg.
The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid - January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was.
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing.” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days.
“Want to see my treasure ” Grandpa’s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out. A smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning (露齿而笑) at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly.
“Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.”
Clara looked at the photo —— the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it.

写作 第一节
Dear Tom,
Exceedingly thrilled to learn that our school will stage a Chinese Painting Exhibition, I can’t wait to invite you to participate in it.
The exhibition is scheduled to be held in the Art Gallery(美术馆,画廊) of our school from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday. It features over 50 traditional and modern Chinese ink paintings, ranging from figure and landscape paintings to flower-and-bird paintings(人物画、山水画、花鸟画). Not only can you gain hands-on experience with brush painting, but also you will be exposed to professional guidance from renowned painters at the interactive corner.
Such a golden opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Chinese art is it that you can’t afford to miss it. Looking forward to seeing you there! [113]

Li Hua

参考范文
The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon in the leather album. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in(镜头拉进) on his hands, wrinkled yet steady. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” Once posted, the video went viral. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master. Back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said. Together, they designed a signature chair—Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands for new chairs combining traditional craft and modern technique.

1. W: My father insists that I have lessons on Sunday night.
M: Here we have several hours to go. I'll wait for you in the tennis field at four. Don't be late.
W: You bet!
2. M: I'm back. Is there anything I can help with for dinner
W: Great! Could you start by washing the vegetables
M: Sure. And I can do the cutting after that.
3. W: Hi! Glad to meet you. I'm an exchange student from Mexico.
M: Cool. Could you help me practice my Spanish when you're in the United States
W: Sure. It's my pleasure.
4. M: You look worried. What's wrong
W: I can't find my phone. I remember using it just now.
M: Well, why not use mine to call it Listen! It's ringing in your bag.
5. M: How are you getting on with your new neighbors
W: Luckily, they don't make too much noise. And they always smile and say hello. But what bothers me is the mess they've left outside.
6-7 W: Why did you run out of the room and close the door like that
M: I was so angry.
W: Do you mean I misunderstood you
M: To be Frank, you did, I think.
W: Okay, but can you first explain what you did with the cash I left
M: The dog was sick and I didn't want to call you on your vacation, so I used the money to take him to the animal hospital.
W: Now everything is clear. It's my fault.
M: Glad to hear you say that.
8-10 W: Jacob, your dad said you need my help.
M: Yes, please help me preheat the oven. I want to make a chocolate cake on my own. First, put the cocoa powder in the bowl, right
W: Yes. Remember how many other ingredients we should put into the bowl
M: Let me think. A cup of water, two cups of vegetable oil and four eggs.
W: Right. I'll put some oil on the baking sheet so that the cake base won't stick to it.
M: OK. Everything is done. Let me set a timer for 30 minutes. By the way, Jim invited me to watch his football game in the afternoon. Can you take me there
W: I have to visit your grandma then. Your dad is free. But you have to clean up the kitchen first.
M: OK.
11-13 M: Have you seen what's happening in Baxton Park, Melinda They're going to build an entertainment center in it.
W: Oh, I know. It is a pity. It will be used to hold parties every weekend, and then people will be coming and going at all hours of the night! How are we ever going to get a good night's sleep
M: I think the trees will probably weaken the sound quite a bit. After all they're quite heavy and close round here. What I'm worried about is parking. This is going to attract a lot of people here.
W: I know. There's nothing we can do about the plan.
M: What about phoning up the local paper and getting their photographer round You never know, we might just get them to think again.
14-17 M: Hi, I would like to buy a one - way ticket to Brussels please.
W: Certainly, sir. We have an overnight train that leaves at 9 p.m.
M: How long does it take to get there
W: About twelve hours. If you'd like, you can choose a sleeper on the overnight train, which is not expensive at all.
M: Yeah, I think that is a good option. Do you serve food on the train
W: Yes, of course. There is a dining car where they serve meals at all times. We do provide free water and coffee for all of our passengers.
M: Great! I'll take it.
W: Here you are, sir. Your train leaves from platform number eleven at 9. Remember to be here at least thirty minutes before the departure time or else you might miss your train!
M: I understand. Thank you very much!
W: Have a great trip.
18 - 20 M: Hi, everyone. I'd like to tell you what our class did to celebrate World Environment Day. First, the headmaster gave a presentation about the dangers the environment is facing nowadays and what each of us can do to protect it. Then our history teacher divided our class into three groups. Each group had a teacher as a leader. I was a member of the first group. We spent over two hours going around the neighborhood putting up posters about environmental protection.
It was very cold and we got very tired, but we all felt very proud of ourselves. The second group was responsible for cleaning the streets around the school. They picked up all the rubbish on the streets, and they also put two rubbish bins at the school gate. The third group was asked to plant flowers in the schoolyard.
