While artistic expression develops in countless forms, artists are still pushing boundaries. The new year has brought a host of exciting and inventive exhibitions, including — but not limited to — the following four:
The Space Between Monty, Rome| Artist: Gwen Evans Medium: Painting Introduction: The artist turns domestic scenes into dreamy paintings to create a familiar and strange feeling. She shows it by painting everyday activities with unexpected changes or mysterious figures. Figure in the Field Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York Type: Group Exhibition Introduction: “Figure in the Field” brings together nine artists who see background as an active part of the image. The exhibition shows how each of them negotiates the relationship between figure and field differently.
Kaleidoscope THEFOURTH, Cape Town | Artist: Sera Holland Medium: Mix-medium Painting Introduction: The artist applies thick paint layers, viewing paint as a material that can be built up in three dimensions. Her “Tapestry” works use weaving (编织) logic, making abstract images with thread-like marks like cloth. All Fall Down Francesco Pantaleone, Palermo, Italy Artists: Concetta Modica and Ignazio Mortellaro Medium: Sculpture Introduction: In “All Fall Down”, the works — placed on the floor or leaning against the walls — appear about to fall at any moment. Their placement presents a sense of unstable balance, creating a dangerous yet beautiful tension.

Sent through the washing. Eaten by insects. Bitten by a dog. These are just some of the ways that books can be damaged, as seen on a recent afternoon at the Weissman Preservation Center.
Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time.
Conservators play a vital role in this process. Their work — repairing torn manuscripts (手稿), reducing insect damage, and so on — ensures the survival of texts from the ancient to the present. At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future. “Harvard Library not only has remarkable materials gathered over generations but also expert staff who allow students to experience these treasures up close and from new views,” said Blair, a professor in the History Department.
As students handled the papers, ink and paints before them, they studied the evidence manuscripts offer researchers and the complexities of preservation. “What happens when the original material is no longer available ” one student asked. “Any treatment we apply must not harm the object and can be restored,” explained Eliza, Senior Paper Conservator. “We always respect the integrity of the materials and only make changes that can be reversed, which is important in our conservation standards.”
The class concluded with a close-looking exercise. Using angle lights and pocket microscopes, students examined manuscripts on the table, amazed at iridescent (泛着虹彩的) inks of the pages. One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career.”
4. What is the “Texts in Transition” course intended to do
A．Teach literary writing.
B．Train paper conservators.
C．Observe ancient books.
D．Explore the survival of old texts.
5. What is special about the Weissman Preservation Center
A．It mainly centers on repairable treasures.
B．It relies on support from Harvard Library.
C．It houses the largest ancient book collection.
D．It allows a thorough look at the preservation process.
6. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Changed back.
B．Recreated.
C．Turned over.
D．Polished.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The course inspired career interest.
B．New techniques were used in repairs.
C．Texts were restored with special inks.
D．Students improved photographic skills.
C
On a recent trip through the Himalayas, my bruises (淤伤) became the truest souvenirs. More personal than anything bought, they carry a unique memory. Over time, my desire for typical souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that’s just me. Two out of three Americans bring back a souvenir from their travels, with US sales topping $21bn in 2022.
Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India.
Travellers today are more aware of their impact on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often overlooked. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as “local” are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes the profit of the traditional handicrafts, creating a negative cycle.
So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs “Be curious... it’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about rejecting and explaining why,” said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade markets helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders.
Ultimately, there’s no universal rule for a “meaningful” souvenir. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect.
8. What changed the author’s view on souvenirs
A．A search for adventures.
B．A desire for experiences.
C．Fear of physical injuries.
D．Changes in life stages.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The increasing popularity of souvenirs.
B．The psychological need for souvenirs.
C．The importance of modern tourism.
D．The memories tourism brings back.
10. What is the consequence of the negative cycle in paragraph 3
A．Tourism becomes more profitable.
B．Local sellers gain long-term benefits.
C．Traditional handicrafts lose the market.
D．Souvenir design becomes standardized.
11. What does the author suggest about buying meaningful souvenirs
A．Picking timeless common designs.
B．Following your own shopping habits.
C．Choosing intention over convenience.
D．Weighing possession over remembrance.
D
Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients shape forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for agriculture.
They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery. Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles. Some got nitrogen fertilizer, some phosphorus (磷), some both, and others none. This allowed direct comparison of forest responses to different soil conditions.
The results showed that soil nutrients strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones in the first 10 recovery years, while phosphorus alone had no such effect. The findings were published on January 13 in the journal Nature Communications. Lead author Wenguang Tang said, “Our study is inspiring because it suggests there are ways we can boost the storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.”
Although nitrogen fertilizer was used in the experiment, the researchers do not recommend fertilizing forests. Widespread fertilizer use could lead to harmful side effects including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy. Instead, the team suggests practical alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which naturally add nitrogen to the soil. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution.
Tropical forests slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and storing it in trees. If young tropical forests worldwide lack nitrogen, they may fail to store about 0.69 billion tonnes of CO each year — roughly equal to two years of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas release in the U.K.
12. What is the Leeds experiment targeted at
A．Recovery speed of tropical forests.
B．Role of nutrients in forest regrowth.
C．Restoration of forests in cleared areas.
D．Environmental impact of deforestation.
13. What did the experiment find about forest regrowth
A．Nitrogen boosts recovery speed.
B．Combined nutrients work better.
C．Tropical forests recover naturally.
D．Phosphorus aids regrowth indirectly.
14. What can be inferred from the researchers’ recommendation
A．CO release should be monitored.
B．Bean family trees should be cut down.
C．Nitrogen fertilizer should be used widely.
D．We should turn to nature-based solutions.
15. What is the best title of the text
A．Nitrogen: Impact on Climate Change
B．Tropical Forests: Global Carbon Sinks
C．Tropical Forests: Growth with Phosphorus
D．Nitrogen: The Secret Driving Forest Regrowth

Carpooling is essentially a shared mobility option where individuals use a single vehicle for their home-to-work trips. 16 It’s a step towards sustainable living. With traffic jams and environmental concerns on the rise, carpooling offers a practical solution.
Characteristically, organizing a carpool starts with a group of interested individuals who adjust their schedules to match and agree on pick-up points, a route, and how to share munication is key in a successful carpool. Technology further simplifies this process, facilitating connections between potential carpoolers. 17
Carpooling significantly benefits the environment. It reduces greenhouse gas release and lessens air pollution. This not only benefits public health but also corresponds to global efforts to fight against climate change. 18 They result in higher fuel use and release, while carpooling drops the number of cars on the road, thus smoothing traffic flow and lowering total fuel consumption.
19 The networking is a space where new ideas are shared and exchanged, allowing people to build casual friendships and exchange ideas. Sharing your daily journeys creates a routine of interaction, bridging the separation that can come with daily journeys between one’s home and workplace alone.
20 One common obstacle is managing scheduling conflicts. Last-minute changes or unexpected delays can upset the entire arrangement. Privacy concerns are another issue some might face. Sharing a ride means sharing personal space. It’s important to set ground rules from the start, like keeping the car a phone-free zone. Respect and understanding go a long way in keeping a comfortable environment for all.
A．Traffic jams remain a critical concern.
B．However, carpooling is not without its challenges.
C．Carpooling helps reduce the stress of daily driving.
D．Some people also worry about safety during carpooling.
E．Carpooling adds social enrichment to your everyday life.
F．Yet it is more than just simply sharing rides with one another.
G．With these basics in place, carpooling can be smooth and cost-saving.

In Chinese culture, food is not merely something to eat — it’s an essential part of life. The focus in Chinese cooking is 36 taste, balance, harmony and above all, the 37 (fresh) of ingredients. Unlike people in some fast-paced societies 38 convenience dominates, many Chinese people prefer daily visits to local markets for the finest produce. Traditional diets feature four main groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, and meats. Fresh ingredients are always preferred, with preserved foods like salted fish, or dried fruit 39 (include) only occasionally.
Great value 40 (place) on texture (口感) and original flavors since ancient times. Cooking methods like steaming and stir-frying are preferred to preserve the natural quality of ingredients. Even though Western influences have introduced deep-fried options, traditional cuisine generally avoids heavy frying. The texture, whether it’s the mouthfeel of cooked meat 41 the chewiness of noodles, is considered equally important as taste.
Meals 42 (typical) conclude with light desserts like seasonal fruit or red bean soup. 43 makes the Chinese dining experience unique is this comprehensive approach, 44 (combine) nutritional balance with sensory pleasure. This genuine respect for ingredients and tradition 45 (reflect) a deep cultural wisdom that has been passed down through generations.

My Dream Profession
I dream to be a cancer researcher in the future. My grandpa was diagnosed with cancer years ago. I saw how much he suffered from the operation and the painful and difficult recovery process. I know there are millions of people living with cancer so I am determined to research into it.
I would work hard at subjects like biology and chemistry and major in medicine at college. Hopefully, I will be qualified to work in a research institute or a hospital to make contributions to the healthcare of all.
I believe I will make contributions to the well-being of all humans.

As Miya waited behind the curtain for her turn to perform, nervousness started to grow inside her. She kept repeating her lines in a low voice and she even found herself trembling. She regretted having accepted the role, wishing in some way that she could escape. Then she heard someone telling her to get ready and the curtain in front of her was pulled. Miya heard applaus from the audience but she just found it impossible to open her mouth and move her legs. She stood there, unable to say a word. The three boys looked at her anxiously and there was silence among the audience.
Miya was about to cry, when she saw John, who played one of the three boys, coming up to her. He bent over her, patted her on the back, saying, “Hi, buddy. We are hungry. Can you tell us where we can get some food ” Without realizing how she made it, Miya replied, “Would you like to come with me Mom is making corn bread. It’s the most delicious in the world.” With great delight, the three boys accepted Miya’s invitation and followed her to the “farm”. The drama show was a great success. Miya was grateful to John for his clever response and she finally got an idea of what to write about for her composition.
