Artwork is lovely to look at and it has the power to make people feel and think differently.

① The scientists watched how people reacted (反应) to a few paintings. First, they asked the volunteers to look at the real paintings on show, and then at photos of the art works in the museum shop. ② It showed that their reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.
③ How did that happen Through study, people may experience something called the “sustained attentional cycle” when they watch a certain painting. The girl’s left eye first drew the volunteers’ attention, then her mouth, and then her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a cycle. Each time they finished the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings or dancing.

Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s gold”. Following the emperor’s orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries.
But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road.
The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like the papermaking technique were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China.
Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like Mogao Caves in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. They cannot be seen anywhere else.
The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends by trading and sharing ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things.

Do you know anything about the Moon How much do you know about it Do you want to go there Scientists have told us so much about the Moon.
They have discovered that the Moon is an unfriendly place. There is no air or water. There are only dust and rocky mountains covering its surface. 36 When the Sun shines in the day, the temperature is very high. Daytime temperature can reach 127℃ when the Sun shines, hot enough to boil water! But at night, it drops to -173℃, colder than Antarctica.
37 As we know, sound needs a medium such as air, water or solid rock to travel, but there is no air on the Moon. Without air, sound cannot travel. Although two astronauts stood close, they would need radios to communicate. Even a loud crash would be completely silent!
From the Moon, Earth looks like a bright blue-and-white ball hanging in the dark sky. The scene would be wonderful. 38
39 In 2013, Chang’e-3 became the first Chinese spacecraft to soft-land on the Moon, carrying the Yutu rover that studied lunar soil for 31 months. In 2020, Chang’e-5 successfully brought back 1,731 grams of lunar samples, helping scientists discover new facts about the Moon’s volcanic history. 40

五、任务型阅读
Last year, I left my job and went to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, “I would love to do something like that.” And I say, “If you want to, just do it.” They always reply, “I cannot.” But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.
After three days’ training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The living place was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. This included a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.
It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging. There were things that we didn’t think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best—it made me feel alive. I didn’t miss my home as much as I thought. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good friends. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn’t need any more.
One of the volunteers said, “Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I’ve got.” What she said truly came from the bottom of my heart.
46．Where did the author work last year
47．What did the author do before she started on an environmental project
48．What was the author’s living place like
49．What did the volunteer think was important before she came to the forest
50．What do you think of the volunteers’ work Why
六、短文填空

U 52 , a mayor plans to carry out a development project that will damage the animals’ homes. Once the project goes ahead, the beavers will l 53 their land forever. So Mabel leads a movement against the project to save the animals’ habitat.
Told in a humorous and heart-warming way, Hoppers is a perfect film for all ages. It is not just fun; it also explores our relationships with nature. It r 54 us to protect the environment. It gives a clear w 55 about the dangers humans can cause. Most importantly, it shows that together, we can make a difference.
Body language is used for sending messages. It is useful because it can help you make yourself understood. When you are talking with others, you are using not only words but also 56 (express). For example, waving one’s hand is to say “Goodbye”. A smile shows a warm welcome, and clapping hands 57 (mean) congratulations. Those gestures 58 (accept) both by Chinese people and foreigners.
