The Fahai Temple, located at the southern foot of Cuiwei Mountain in the Shijingshan district of Beijing, houses Ming Dynasty frescoes (壁画) dating back nearly 600 years. Today, a brand-new Fahai Temple Mural Art Center has been built at the foot of the mountain.
“By using digital modern technology, valuable digital resources have been created, allowing the inactive frescoes to come to life,” said Liu Xiaobo, the art center’s curator.
First built in 1439, the Fahai Temple is known as one of the “three major frescoes in China” together with the frescoes found in Dunhuang and Yongle Palace. “The frescoes depict 77 figures, including ordinary peopole, Buddhas and bodhisattvas, each with different postures and expressions,” said Liu.
With the fall of Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the Fahai Temple too came to an abrupt end. However, in recent years, the development of a high-tech industry featuring creativity services and digital technology has given the Shijingshan district government more confidence in the digital display of frescoes.
At the exhibition of Fahai Temple Mural Art Center, the original mural paintings are displayed on a 4K HD screen, presenting them at their actual size. Each of the 77 figures is portrayed with thorough attention to detail using 3D modeling at the pixel (像素) level.
The facial details of Water-moon Avalokitesvara, one of the most representative figures on the frescoes of Fahai Temple, are hard to make out in dim conditions. However, after using 3D modeling, the figure’s face, which measures over 3 meters tall, can be seen clearly on the 4K HD screen at the mural hall of the art center.
“Through technological means, we can zoom in on them to show specific details and introduce the content of the frescoes item by item, offering the audience ample time to understand the frescoes,” Liu explained.
24. What can we know about the Fahai Temple frescoes
A. They were built during the Qing Dynasty.
B. They are among China’s three major frescoes.
C. There are altogether 77 Buddhas in the frescoes.
D. They remained prosperous in the Ming Dynasty.
25. Why is 3D modeling used for the frescoes
A. To reduce the actual size of the figures.
B. To make the figures move like real ones.
C. To change the facial expressions of the figures.
D. To show the details more clearly and completely.
26. What does the underlined word “zoom in on” probably mean
A. Enlarge B. Decorate C. Restore D. Appreciate
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. The long history of the Fahai Temple.
B. Ways to appreciate the Fahai Temple frescoes.
C. The introduction of three great Chinese frescoes.
D. Application of digital technology to ancient frescoes.
C
The United Nations estimates that some 40% of the world’s languages face extinction. Can artificial intelligence slow this trend Global tech giants are optimistic, yet the reality is not that simple. Generative AI has made great progress in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but it has big shortcomings in understanding “low-resource languages” — native and regional dialects lacking valuable digital content.
A Stanford report found most major large-language models (LLMs) perform poorly in non-English, especially resource-scarce dialect. This is a cultural loss and a technological blind spot, with the core issue being a lack of high-quality data. The most powerful LLMs need huge amounts of training material, mostly in English. This leads AI to unify culture and spread Anglo-centric views, a problem researchers have long complained about.
AI’s multilingual weaknesses bring more than digital exclusion. Studies show low-resource languages can get past its safety guardrails. Inappropriate questions in Thai or Swahili failed to trigger AI’s safety mechanisms, unlike those in English or Chinese. Worse still, anyone can translate dangerous requests into such languages to exploit AI’s flaws, making this a global safety problem, not just a linguistic one.
A push for independent AI has grown especially in linguistically diverse Asia to preserve cultural distinctions in AI tools: Singapore’s SEA-LION model covers over a dozen local languages, and Malaysia’s ILMU model recognizes regional cues. These efforts have revealed for an AI model to truly represent a group of people, even the smallest details in training material matter.
True language preservation depends on community-led efforts, not just technology. Indonesian researchers tried to save the Orang Rimba language with Meta’s AI but faced limited datasets — only deeper community participation can solve this. New Zealand’s Te Hiku Media set a good example: working with Maori elders, it built a community-owned language database, not one controlled by big tech. This is the only sustainable way — without community involvement, AI will not save dying languages, but help bury them.
28. What is the major problem of AI in protecting dying languages
A. It makes little progress in breaking cultural barriers.
B. It cannot create any digital content for native dialects.
C. It lacks high-quality training data for low-resource languages.
D. It erases cultural diversity and promotes Anglo-centric ideas.
29. What can we learn about AI’s safety guardrails from the text
A. They bring more than digital exclusion.
B. They fail to protect English digital users.
C. They work well in handling all linguistic requests.
D. They can be bypassed by low-resource languages.
30. How does the author present Asia’s independent AI efforts
A. By giving examples. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. AI: A Powerful Tool for Dying Language Preservation
B. Independent AI in Asia: The Key to Solving Language Crisis
C. Low-resource Languages: A Big Challenge to AI Development
D. Dying Languages: AI’s limitations and the vital community role
D
A tiny version of the developing cerebral cortex (大脑皮质) — a brain region involved in thinking, memory and problem-solving — has been grown in a lab dish with a system of blood vessels that closely resembles the real thing. This is one of the most detailed brain organoids (类器官) created to date, and it will deepen our understanding of the brain.
Brain organoids, sometimes called mini-brains, are typically grown in lab dishes by bathing stem cells in a mixture of chemical cues, which stimulate them to form balls of cells. Since they were first created in 2013, these cerebral structures — whose electrical activity resembles newborn brains — have provided fresh insights into conditions such as schizophrenia and dementia.
But organoids have one big flaw: they typically start dying after a few months. That’s because, while full-sized brains are equipped with a network of blood vessels to transport oxygen and nutrients, brain organoids can absorb these only from the dish in which they are grown, starving the innermost cells. This limits their size and complexity, and how well they resemble the developing brain. “It’s a very big problem,” says Lois Kistemaker at the University Medical Centre Utrecht in the Netherlands.
To address this, Ethan Winkler at the University of California, San Francisco, and his colleagues grew human stem cells into cortical organoids, which mimic the developing cortex. Separately, they grew organoids made of blood vessel cells and placed them at both ends of each cortical organoid. After weeks, the blood vessels spread evenly throughout the mini-brains.
Imaging revealed the vessels had a hollow center, or lumen, highly similar to those in real brains. Madeline Lancaster at the University of Cambridge calls this “a major step.” These vessels also more closely match the physical properties and genetic activity of natural blood vessels, forming an improved “blood-brain barrier.” The findings suggest vessels stand a better chance of transporting nutrients to keep organoids alive, though Lancaster notes we are still far from fully functional blood vessels.
32. What can we know about brain organoids
A. It’s associated with cognition.
B. It helps deepen insight into brain.
C. It’s very similar to the real brain.
D. It cures schizophrenia and dementia.
33. What prevents brain organoids from developing further
A. The complex chemical environment.
B. The size of the dish they are grown in.
C. The instability of their electrical activity.
D. The lack of a proper nutrient transport system.
34. What solutions did the researchers come up with
A. Building a complete network of blood vessels in full-sized brains.
B. Increasing the size and complexity of cortical organoids rapidly.
C. Combining two types of organoids to help blood vessels grow inside.
D. Providing more oxygen and nutrients for cells directly from the dish.
35. What is Lancaster’s attitude toward the new study
A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s a long-standing belief that ostriches (鸵鸟) like to “bury” their heads in the sand when they face danger. This idea has long been proved false-ostriches don’t actually do this. Ironically, however, humans often behave in exactly this way.
Many people deliberately choose not to know certain things: avoiding bad news, ignoring uncomfortable truths, or postponing unpleasant updates. This “the less I know, the better” mindset is surprisingly common in adults but has an unclear origin-children are naturally curious, constantly asking questions. 36. __________
A 2025 study published in Psychological Science set out to answer this question. Researchers studied information avoidance and tested children aged 5 to 10 in scenarios where they could choose to seek or avoid information. As expected, younger children were highly curious and eager to learn, even if they later made selfish choices. 37. __________ Researchers explained that as children grow older, they care more about appearing fair. By avoiding information, they create “moral wiggle room” (道德回旋余地) to act selfishly while still seeming moral.
38. __________ First, people avoid information to protect themselves from negative emotions. Second, it helps them preserve a positive self-image. Third, it allows them to act in their own self-interest without feeling guilty. These patterns continue into adulthood.
While ignorance may bring temporary comfort, it often leads to serious long-term costs. Avoiding health checks, ignoring relationship problems, or dismissing social issues can all result in lasting harm. 39. __________
Early avoidance in childhood can even contribute to broader social challenges. Repeatedly avoiding uncomfortable ideas can lead to ideological rigidity. 40. __________ This “developmental paradox” — from curious explorers to “ostriches”-shapes our choices and limits our growth.
A. So how to stay curious as adults
B. So when and why do we become selectively ignorant
C. However, older children increasingly avoid information, acting selfishly.
D. The study identified three main motivations behind information avoidance.
E. Ignoring climate change may feel safe, but threatens long-term global stability.
F. In the end, the short-term relief pales in comparison to the long-term consequences.
G. As research shows, this shift creates a “developmental paradox” with lifelong effects.

The Wrong Trolley (手推车) — an Amazing Food Adventure
On Saturday, Mum went to visit her friends in the city, and Ollie, Dad and I went to do the shopping. The car park at the supermarket was very full. Inside, it was packed like sardines in a tin, every checkout full of trolleys and staff busy running around. Dad said we needed to work together: Ollie pushed the trolley, I checked the list, and he did the running and grabbing. When we walked past the flower stand, Dad picked a big bunch of yellow flowers, saying, “We may be in a rush, but we still have to take time to smell the roses.”
We inched through the crowds, ticking off things on the list one by one. We passed the exotic (异国风味的) foods section without getting anything — our family isn’t very good with new foods. Dad picked out a big chicken for a roast dinner. Tired of the slow pace, Dad suggested we leave the trolley, split the list three ways and go back and forth. It worked, and soon we reached the checkout. Dad told us to wait outside and he picked up a magazine while unloading. After Dad came out, he unlocked the car. “Home!” said Ollie. “We’ll have a roast dinner tonight!”
Back home, I noticed the yellow flowers were missing. As we unpacked, there was no chicken or frozen peas we’d bought, but strange items: Tofu, mushrooms, meatballs, chilli sauce, soup base and others. Dad sighed, “We’ve taken the wrong trolley!” It must have happened when we left the trolley behind or when Dad was distracted by the magazine at the checkout.
Dad looked around in the shopping bags. “Well, I guess we could try something else. But what on earth do we do with these ” He held up some packets of spices. We looked on the Internet and found the ingredients were for the spicy hotpot from Sichuan, China, which is often a stew (炖煮的菜肴) served with chilli sauce. “Your mum quite likes a stew,” Dad nodded at us.

（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

That afternoon we got to work, following the online recipe for the Sichuan hotpot. When Mum returned home, she immediately smelled something different.

第二节 读后续写（The Wrong Trolley）
参考范文
That afternoon we got to work, following the online recipe for the Sichuan hotpot. We split the tasks right away: Dad handled the spicy soup base, stewing the chilli sauce and spice packets over low heat. Ollie and I washed the mushrooms, diced the tofu, and cut the meatballs into bite-sized pieces. We worked together, chatting and laughing, and before long, a rich, numbing-spicy smell filled the whole kitchen, wrapping us in warmth. By the time we finished, a steaming, fragrant hotpot sat ready on the table, far better than we’d expected.
When Mum returned home, she immediately smelled something different. She walked into the kitchen, eyes wide with surprise at the unexpected feast. After we told her the whole story of the wrong trolley, she burst into laughter and took a bite, praising its amazing flavor nonstop. We sat around the table, savoring every bite of this lucky mistake. What started as a silly error turned into an amazing food adventure, and our family, once hesitant to try new foods, fell in love with this bold Sichuan flavor.
