Black and white mountains and rocks covered in colourful mist—the combination of Chinese and Western painting styles—caught the eye of Michela Millstein， a high school student in the San Francisco Bay Area， at an art exhibition in San Francisco.
“I think there are a lot of meanings behind the paintings. You can tell that it’s trying to show cultural things and not just a picture，” Millstein says. Having studied Chinese for three years， Millstein says she loves Chinese culture.
The exhibition， The Flying Colours， recently presented more than 60 pieces of Chinese ink paintings by a local artist， Arthur Ku， at San Francisco City Hall. Arthur Ku is a well-known painter， calligrapher， and artist. “His endless devotion to the art community has undoubtedly contributed to the vitality (活力) of San Francisco，” the mayor said in an announcement.
Ku was born in Guangdong Province in 1941 and settled in the United States in 1977. He has been exploring the “splash ink and colour” style， which is a technique of working with splashy (泼墨)， colourful washes to create an abstract， expressive style. Ku’s artistic talent in traditional Chinese brush and ink painting inspired a unique style of down-to-earth and creative freedom， which created a critical attempt to turn traditional Chinese brush painting into modern and contemporary art， according to the mayor’s statement. Ku is also keen to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the U.S. to improve art and friendship. He has successfully held several joint painting exhibitions in the U.S. for artists from China.
“I think inclusiveness brings unity and diversity brings vitality. We are now living in the most challenging times. So， I think it’s important for us to embrace more inclusiveness and diversity， to have more cultural dialogue， so that we can communicate better and respect each other more，” said Arthur Ku.
( )24. What does Millstein mainly talk about in Paragraph 2？
A. The reason for holding exhibitions.
B. The effect of culture on artistic styles.
C. The features of Chinese ink paintings.
D. The cultural significance of the works.
( )25. What does the mayor probably think of Ku’s painting？
A. It is costly.
B. It is traditional.
C. It is innovative.
D. It is understandable.
( )26. Why did Ku hold painting exhibitions in the U.S.？
A. To boost communication of culture and art.
B. To found an international charity organisation.
C. To enhance the reputation of some Chinese artists.
D. To introduce the history of Chinese traditional arts.
( )27. In which column of a newspaper will you read the passage？
A. Fitness.
B. Culture.
C. Environment.
D. Technology.

As we researchers predicted， we found that picky eaters scored the worst on our tests of food recognition： Food neophobia (新食物恐惧症) was negatively related to food recognition ability.
While we were publishing our findings， scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and colour. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance， looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas， but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to colour.
We repeated our initial study with grey-scale images of food. The result showed without colour， people unsurprisingly made more errors， mistaking different dishes for the same， but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing colour： Food neophobia was no longer related to food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on colour.
We then made an entirely new prediction： Would people with colour blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal colour perception？ Because the colourblind experience food in a restricted range of colour， certain signals that raise flags about freshness， safety， or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited.
We invited participants online， based on how they answered one question about colour blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colourblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colourblind. Seeing the world with a narrow colour range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods.
Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between colour perception and food， we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits.
( )28. Which can activate the specific brain areas more easily？
A. A piece of cake.
B. A pair of shoes.
C. A series of books.
D. A pile of string.
( )29. What happened when colour was removed from food images？
A. Mistakes were on the rise.
B. Food neophobia worsened.
C. Recognition accuracy improved.
D. Adventurous eaters were at an advantage.
( )30. What did the survey conclude about colourblind people？
A. They are less familiar with food types.
B. They are more open to nutritious foods.
C. They are less likely to resist new foods.
D. They are more worried about food safety.
( )31. What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
D
Researchers at UC San Francisco have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows a paralysed (瘫痪的) man to control a robotic arm using his thoughts. The device， which translates brain signals into computer commands， enabled the participant to grasp， move， and drop objects simply by imagining the actions. Remarkably， the BCI functioned for a record seven months without requiring adjustments， a significant improvement over previous systems that lasted only a day or two.
The breakthrough relies on an AI model that adapts to subtle changes in brain activity as a person repeatedly imagines performing a movement. This adaptability allows the system to improve its performance over time. “This blending of learning between humans and AI is the next stage for brain-computer interfaces，” said Dr Karunesh Ganguly， a neurologist at UCSF. “It’s what we need to achieve sophisticated， lifelike function.”
The study， funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Cell， focused on understanding how brain activity patterns shift over time. Ganguly and his team discovered that while the brain’s representations of movements remain consistent， their locations change slightly from day to day. By programming the AI to account for these shifts， the BCI maintained its functionality for months.
The participant， who was paralysed by a stroke， had tiny sensors implanted in his brain to detect activity when he imagined moving. Over two weeks， the team trained the AI by having him imagine simple movements， such as moving his fingers or hands. Initially， the robotic arm’s movements were imprecise， but after practising with a virtual arm that provided feedback， the participant improved his control. Once he transitioned to the real robotic arm， he quickly mastered tasks like picking up blocks， opening cupboards， and holding a cup to a water machine. Even months later， he could control the arm after a brief “tune-up” to adjust for changes in his brain activity.
Ganguly is now improving the AI to make the robotic arm faster and smoother， with plans to test the BCI in home settings. For individuals with paralysis， this technology could be life-changing， enabling them to perform everyday tasks independently. “I’m very confident that we’ve learned how to build the system now， and that we can make this work，” Ganguly said.
( )32. How does the paralysed man control a robotic arm through the BCI？
A. By using his thoughts.
B. By adjusting the device.
C. By translating brain signals.
D. By improving the present system.
( )33. Which of the following is a feature of the AI model？
A. It requires no training to work effectively.
B. It can shift over time to maintain its function.
C. It needs repeated imaginations to perform a movement.
D. It can adjust to subtle changes in brain activity to improve movements.
( )34. What helped improve the participant’s controlling over the robotic arm？
A. The virtual arm offering feedback.
B. The connection to the real robotic arm.
C. The tiny sensors implanted in his brain.
D. The simple movements imagined by him.
( )35. What does Dr Ganguly think of the future of the BCI technology？
A. Changeable.
B. Uncertain.
C. Promising.
D. Limited.

Most Americans love Chinese food. However， the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 　36　 Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living， some of them opened restaurants. Over these years， Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.
　37　 The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However， traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead， methods such as baking， steaming， boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used.
Another big difference between authentic and westernised Chinese food is the ingredients used. 　38　 Some ingredients like carrots， onions and tomatoes are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition， while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats like pig ears—most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food， in contrast， uses a wider variety of protein sources， including tofu， snake， chicken feet， duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.
　39　 Sweet and Sour Chicken， for example， has no equivalent (同等的事物) in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly， the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.
Indeed， there are numerous differences between authentic and westernised Chinese cuisine， but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavours easily. 　40　
A. The history of westernised Chinese food started in the mid－1800s.
B. Westernised Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.
C. There are so many regions of China， and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.
D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.
E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.
F. Deep frying food is quick， which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.
G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernised Chinese food lies in cooking methods.

How hard could it be to cook a turkey？ After all， I watched my grandma and mum cook it for as long as I can remember. They would place the turkey in the roaster and then put it in the oven (烤箱). And， just like that， every year a perfectly golden-brown， roasted turkey appeared on our festival table. But I never paid much attention to the process. My focus was only on the festival.
I remember the year when things would be different. Although my dear grandma had been gone for several years， that was the first holiday when my mum had passed away a few days ago. Facing the first festival without my grandma or mum， I quickly realised I suddenly became responsible for the festival dinner. I felt sad and nervous. After all， I’d never cooked a turkey. But I was determined to fix a nice holiday dinner for my husband and our two teenagers. They’d been close to their grandma and missed her， so I wanted to make this festival special for them， to ease their sadness at least for a bit.
After I purchased the frozen turkey in our neighbourhood Kroger supermarket in the early morning， I went home to prepare the holiday dinner.
Back home， sunlight streamed through the kitchen window where three generations of women had once stood. As I unwrapped the turkey and placed it on the counter， I started to panic， feeling completely lost. I even didn’t know where I should start from. Memories of the past time with my grandma and mum flooded into my mind. Tears started flowing slowly. Suddenly， I remembered my mum had an old cookbook which she got from my grandma. I searched for the book in a box and finally found it. I opened it， flipping (翻阅) through the pages until I found the turkey recipe.

Good afternoon to all the students， parents， and staff in this hall. In my years working here， four as a teacher and another three as an art department leader， I’ve never seen such a talented graduating class. Over the last two weeks， we’ve seen hundreds of wonderful art projects， from outdoor photo journals to modern paintings that cover the entire walls of the passage to this hall. Plus， given that my specific area in the arts is fashion design， they didn’t learn all that from me！
To be honest， all the parents and students here have every reason to feel proud. And next， I’d like to present the following student artists who have been awarded the chance to show their projects and give a short speech to the audience. To begin with， we have James Smith with an amazing Roman-inspired sculpture piece. Next， Jane Goodman will follow him with a short film. And finally， Michael Watts will present some mixed-media art created with the computer. Here， at RISD， we consider all art to be an expression of oneself， one’s passion， and the experience of life. So， let’s put this expression on display. Please， welcome to the stage， our first artist with his project…

Black and white mountains and rocks covered in colourful mist—the combination of Chinese and Western painting styles—caught the eye of Michela Millstein， a high school student in the San Francisco Bay Area， at an art exhibition in San Francisco.
“I think there are a lot of meanings behind the paintings. You can tell that it’s trying to show cultural things and not just a picture，” Millstein says. Having studied Chinese for three years， Millstein says she loves Chinese culture.
The exhibition， The Flying Colours， recently presented more than 60 pieces of Chinese ink paintings by a local artist， Arthur Ku， at San Francisco City Hall. Arthur Ku is a well-known painter， calligrapher， and artist. “His endless devotion to the art community has undoubtedly contributed to the vitality (活力) of San Francisco，” the mayor said in an announcement.
Ku was born in Guangdong Province in 1941 and settled in the United States in 1977. He has been exploring the “splash ink and colour” style， which is a technique of working with splashy (泼墨)， colourful washes to create an abstract， expressive style. Ku’s artistic talent in traditional Chinese brush and ink painting inspired a unique style of down-to-earth and creative freedom， which created a critical attempt to turn traditional Chinese brush painting into modern and contemporary art， according to the mayor’s statement. Ku is also keen to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the U.S. to improve art and friendship. He has successfully held several joint painting exhibitions in the U.S. for artists from China.
“I think inclusiveness brings unity and diversity brings vitality. We are now living in the most challenging times. So， I think it’s important for us to embrace more inclusiveness and diversity， to have more cultural dialogue， so that we can communicate better and respect each other more，” said Arthur Ku.

C
As we researchers predicted， we found that picky eaters scored the worst on our tests of food recognition： Food neophobia (新食物恐惧症) was negatively related to food recognition ability.
While we were publishing our findings， scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and colour. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance， looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas， but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to colour.
We repeated our initial study with grey-scale images of food. The result showed without colour， people unsurprisingly made more errors， mistaking different dishes for the same， but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing colour： Food neophobia was no longer related to food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on colour.
We then made an entirely new prediction： Would people with colour blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal colour perception？ Because the colourblind experience food in a restricted range of colour， certain signals that raise flags about freshness， safety， or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited.
We invited participants online， based on how they answered one question about colour blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colourblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colourblind. Seeing the world with a narrow colour range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods.
Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between colour perception and food， we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们对食物识别能力的差异，以及这种差异与人们对新食物的态度(新食物恐惧症)之间的关系。

Researchers at UC San Francisco have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows a paralysed (瘫痪的) man to control a robotic arm using his thoughts. The device， which translates brain signals into computer commands， enabled the participant to grasp， move， and drop objects simply by imagining the actions. Remarkably， the BCI functioned for a record seven months without requiring adjustments， a significant improvement over previous systems that lasted only a day or two.
The breakthrough relies on an AI model that adapts to subtle changes in brain activity as a person repeatedly imagines performing a movement. This adaptability allows the system to improve its performance over time. “This blending of learning between humans and AI is the next stage for brain-computer interfaces，” said Dr Karunesh Ganguly， a neurologist at UCSF. “It’s what we need to achieve sophisticated， lifelike function.”
The study， funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Cell， focused on understanding how brain activity patterns shift over time. Ganguly and his team discovered that while the brain’s representations of movements remain consistent， their locations change slightly from day to day. By programming the AI to account for these shifts， the BCI maintained its functionality for months.
The participant， who was paralysed by a stroke， had tiny sensors implanted in his brain to detect activity when he imagined moving. Over two weeks， the team trained the AI by having him imagine simple movements， such as moving his fingers or hands. Initially， the robotic arm’s movements were imprecise， but after practising with a virtual arm that provided feedback， the participant improved his control. Once he transitioned to the real robotic arm， he quickly mastered tasks like picking up blocks， opening cupboards， and holding a cup to a water machine. Even months later， he could control the arm after a brief “tune-up” to adjust for changes in his brain activity.
Ganguly is now improving the AI to make the robotic arm faster and smoother， with plans to test the BCI in home settings. For individuals with paralysis， this technology could be life-changing， enabling them to perform everyday tasks independently. “I’m very confident that we’ve learned how to build the system now， and that we can make this work，” Ganguly said.

Most Americans love Chinese food. However， the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 　36　 Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living， some of them opened restaurants. Over these years， Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.
　37　 The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However， traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead， methods such as baking， steaming， boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used.
Another big difference between authentic and westernised Chinese food is the ingredients used. 　38　 Some ingredients like carrots， onions and tomatoes are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition， while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats like pig ears—most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food， in contrast， uses a wider variety of protein sources， including tofu， snake， chicken feet， duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.
　39　 Sweet and Sour Chicken， for example， has no equivalent (同等的事物) in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly， the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.
Indeed， there are numerous differences between authentic and westernised Chinese cuisine， but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavours easily. 　40　
A. The history of westernised Chinese food started in the mid－1800s.
B. Westernised Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.
C. There are so many regions of China， and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.
D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.
E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.
F. Deep frying food is quick， which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.
G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernised Chinese food lies in cooking methods.

Dear Peter，
I can’t wait to plan the Cross-Cultural Food Exhibition with you！
I propose that we set up booths where those foods are introduced and shared. Additionally， interactive cooking workshops could be arranged， thereby enhancing hands-on engagement and learning. To ensure smooth planning， let’s schedule a detailed discussion session. Could we meet online next Tuesday at 6 p.m.？ During this meeting， we can finalise the list of representative dishes， decide on our responsibilities， and create a timeline for preparations.
Looking forward to your thoughts on my suggestions and confirmation regarding the meeting time.
Best regards，
Li Hua

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
How hard could it be to cook a turkey？ After all， I watched my grandma and mum cook it for as long as I can remember. They would place the turkey in the roaster and then put it in the oven (烤箱). And， just like that， every year a perfectly golden-brown， roasted turkey appeared on our festival table. But I never paid much attention to the process. My focus was only on the festival.
I remember the year when things would be different. Although my dear grandma had been gone for several years， that was the first holiday when my mum had passed away a few days ago. Facing the first festival without my grandma or mum， I quickly realised I suddenly became responsible for the festival dinner. I felt sad and nervous. After all， I’d never cooked a turkey. But I was determined to fix a nice holiday dinner for my husband and our two teenagers. They’d been close to their grandma and missed her， so I wanted to make this festival special for them， to ease their sadness at least for a bit.
After I purchased the frozen turkey in our neighbourhood Kroger supermarket in the early morning， I went home to prepare the holiday dinner.
Back home， sunlight streamed through the kitchen window where three generations of women had once stood. As I unwrapped the turkey and placed it on the counter， I started to panic， feeling completely lost. I even didn’t know where I should start from. Memories of the past time with my grandma and mum flooded into my mind. Tears started flowing slowly. Suddenly， I remembered my mum had an old cookbook which she got from my grandma. I searched for the book in a box and finally found it. I opened it， flipping (翻阅) through the pages until I found the turkey recipe.

Paragraph 1：
With the recipe in hand， I felt a sense of relief. Each step was very detailed， just like the love and care my grandma and mum had poured into every meal. I gathered the ingredients， carefully measuring and mixing， trying to channel their spirit into this traditional dish. After some preparations， I put the turkey in the oven for it to be roasted. Every few minutes， I peeked through the oven window， my heart pounding. The kitchen began to fill with the comforting smell of roasting turkey， blending with the memories of past festivals.
Paragraph 2：
Finally， it was time to open the oven. A beautiful， golden-brown turkey greeted me. Tears welled up in my eyes. I managed to cook a turkey by myself， just as my grandma and mum used to do. That evening， as we sat around the table， sharing the meal， I saw the smiles on my family’s faces， especially the ones on my children’s. At that moment， I knew that even though my grandma and mum were no longer with us， their love and traditions would always be a part of our festivals.
