Mexican art holds a unique place in the world of creativity. Let’s explore the famous Mexican artists who shaped this heritage, their artwork, and their lasting influence.
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo is a globally famous Mexican artist whose deeply personal paintings explore themes of identity, pain, and physical suffering. Her life was marked by hardship, from childhood illness to a severe bus accident. Her works, which draw on Mexican traditions and bright colors, convey powerful emotions, especially in her intense self portraits.
Leonora Carrington
Leonora Carrington created dream-like paintings filled with mystical (神秘的) creatures. Inspired by local spirituality and her personal experiences, she explores themes of nature, magic, and transformation in her work, extending her creativity into writing.
Rufino Tamayo
Rufino Tamayo distinguished himself by combining modern abstraction with native Mexican traditions. Unlike the politically charged murals (壁画) of Siqueiros, Tamayo focused on universal human themes. He uses bright and eye-catching colors in his paintings. These paintings show amazing stories from nature and old cultures, along with ideas about space. His heritage also includes founding significant institutions like the National Museum of Contemporary Art.
David Alfaro Siqueiros
As a key figure in the Mexican Muralism movement, David Alfaro Siqueiros used art to champion social change. His large, dramatic murals vividly portray political struggle, class conflict, and the chaos of World War II. Alongside Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, he formed the “Big Three” of Mexican muralists, focusing on the working class. His innovative techniques and distinctive style gave life to his powerful messages, leaving a lasting cultural heritage.

Just six weeks after becoming an ultra-running (超长距离跑)world record holder, Sarah Perry has won big again — this time claiming the victory in one of the world’s craziest winter ultra-marathons. The Hill — staged from December 5 to December 7 — saw runners attempting to complete 56 tiring laps up and down the Wrekin in Shropshire inside 48 hours.
From the 24 runners who set off on Friday night, Sarah was the only finisher, completing the 160-mile race in 47 hours and 1 minute. Her total ascent (攀登) up the rocky track 56 times was about 47,000 ft. This latest win followed her headline-grabbing run at the Backyard Ultra World Championships in October when she set a new women’s world record.
Sarah Perry said, “I knew that six weeks to recover and build back up was a big task, but I’ve wanted to do The Hill for so long because it’s always been my dream. Besides, this was the first time it had been run in five years, so I just had to be on that start line. I’m excited to have finished and, quite honestly, can’t believe that it was possible for me.”
Sarah added, “The last third of the race was hard. The biggest difficulty was the lack of time. Unlike in backyard ultra-races, there are no scheduled breaks so I was constantly doing the calculations in my head to figure out whether I could complete it. I chose to skip breaks and ignore things that I’d usually get sorted, like wet socks and sleep deprivation (剥夺), and instead chose to keep on the hill.”
The race follows a set of strict rules, meaning runners are largely self-sufficient. No poles, headphones, outside assistance, crew, pacers or supporters are allowed. Runners are only permitted to stop for a maximum of 30 minutes at a shelter, situated at the foot of each lap.
INOV8 founder Wayne Edy said, “We are incredibly proud of Sarah and her outstanding achievements in ultra-running. Sarah is short, but she’s very brave and determined. She deserves all this success.”
24. What do we know about The Hill ultra-marathon
A．It was held for the first time this year.
B．It allowed runners to use poles for assistance.
C．It was held in October in Shropshire.
D．It required runners to finish 56 laps within two days.
25. Why did Sarah Perry decide to take part in The Hill
A．She was eager to become famous.
B．She wanted to set another world record.
C．She hoped to realize her long-standing dream.
D．She intended to challenge physical limits.
26. What can we infer from Sarah’s words in paragraph 4
A．She felt confident about winning.
B．She skipped sleep to finish the race.
C．She regretted ignoring her health.
D．She struggled with the hilly track.
27. What would be the best title for the text
A．Sarah Perry: A Strong-willed Runner
B．The Rules of Ultra-running Races
C．The Hill: A Crazy Winter Ultra-marathon
D．Sarah Perry’s Training for The Hill
C
A federal (联邦的)judge has prohibited off-road vehicle (ORV) use in critical habitat for desert tortoises (龟) in California’s western Mojave Desert, protecting more than 2,200 miles of proposed routes across 1 million acres of conservation lands. The decision follows an earlier ruling that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) unlawfully approved a vast network of off-road vehicle routes.
“I’m grateful the judge recognized the need to take action to stop the decline of desert tortoises in the West Mojave,” said Lisa Belenky, a senior lawyer at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Protecting these rare tortoises from extensive off-road vehicle use in their most important habitat will give them a chance to make a comeback.” The case, initiated in 2021 by several environmental groups, highlights the ongoing conflict between recreation and conservation.
The BLM oversees off-road vehicle use on public lands in the western Mojave Desert. For over 20 years, the agency has failed to draft a management plan that protects the desert landscape and its wildlife from the severe damage that off-road vehicles cause. Under the previous plan, nearly 6,000 miles of dirt roads were open to off-roading — a distance long enough to stretch from New York to Los Angeles and back. However, studies confirm that closing these areas is vital for the tortoises’ survival. Adding to the crisis, drivers have illegally created hundreds of new paths within protected zones, causing the local tortoise population to crash to dangerously low levels.
The new order requires the agency to close all off-road routes in the most important tortoise habitat. This is a major step to save the species. The land manager says this is a win for both nature and people, as there are still over 270,000 acres open for off-road fun.
Environmental groups also celebrate the protection of the unique ecosystem, emphasizing that the court’s message is clear: protecting wildlife must come first. The next challenge is to ensure the agency enforces the closures effectively.
28. What did the judge do for tortoises
A．He ordered BLM to draft a plan.
B．He opened 270,000 acres for off-roading.
C．He punished illegal path creators.
D．He banned ORVs in critical habitat.
29. How does Lisa Belenky see the ruling
A．It’s a temporary fix.
B．It’s a victory for off-road fans.
C．It’s a necessary rescue step.
D．It’s an unfair land restriction.
30. What remaining problem are the environmental groups worried about
A．Finding enough land for off-road recreation.
B．Ensuring effective enforcement of the ban.
C．Restoring the tortoise population to a safe level.
D．Downsizing the number of off-road routes.
31. Where is the text most likely taken from
A．A news website.
B．A law textbook.
C．A travel guide.
D．A scientific journal.

Two years ago, I started learning Japanese on Duolingo, a language learning app. At first, the daily build-up of vocabulary was fun. Every lesson earned me experience points that measured my progress. But something odd happened. As I climbed the leaderboards (排行榜), I found myself favoring lessons that offered the most points for the least effort. Things came to a head when I spent an entire holiday glued to my phone, repeating the same 30-second Kanji lesson over and over, ignoring my family and learning nothing.
Nguyen’s new book tackles this kind of perverse behavior. He argues that mistaking points for the point is a widespread error that leads us to build our lives and societies around things we don’t want.
“Value capture”, as Nguyen calls it, happens when the lines between what you care about and how you measure your progress begin to be unclear. You internalize the metric (指标)until it has “redefined your core sense of what’s important”.
Nguyen is entertaining and precise, illustrating ideas with personal stories and real-world examples. He’s really good at sharing the deep enjoyment he gets from the things he loves, like pure happiness of rock climbing, and the calm, magical feeling of fly-fishing. The point isn’t to catch a fish — it’s how you feel while trying to catch a fish.
Value capture leads us, Nguyen argues, to waste our lives. We optimize for salary or leaderboard position, and ignore the experiences that make life worth living. This respect for numbers allows officials to hide their own choices in decisions about schools, hospitals, and people’s health. They say “the numbers” are fair judges, so their actions seem free from personal or political bias. In truth, those in power pick which numbers to use, then pretend their decisions are based only on facts.
The Score makes for absorbing reading: timely and forceful without being sensational (哗众取宠). For Nguyen, wonder, absorption and play are central to human happiness. Metrics threaten to replace our unique joys with simplistic rankings. Despite — or perhaps because of — the gravity of these issues, I came away enriched and uplifted.
32. What does the underlined word “perverse” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Influential.
B．Unimportant.
C．Acceptable.
D．Abnormal.
33. What does Nguyen mean about “value capture”
A．It encourages diverse hobbies.
B．It improves measurement accuracy.
C．It confuses means with ends.
D．It simplifies decision-making processes.
34. Why does Nguyen mention fly-fishing in paragraph 4
A．To show the process matters most.
B．To prove fishing is relaxing.
C．To compare it with rock climbing.
D．To explain how to catch fish.
35. Which of the following can best summarize the book The Score
A．A study of leisure activities.
B．A call to look beyond the score.
C．A guide to learning languages.
D．A collection of personal stories.

Becoming the Genuine You
The world is always ready to tell us what we should do. We may follow the expected career, make friends with certain people, or live in a particular neighborhood. 36 Psychologist Dr Manpreet Dhuffar-Pottiwal offers several practical shifts to help us find our true selves.
37 Shift from rigid goal setting to accepting impermanence. And when things are constantly changing around us, connect to our inner values to guide our choices. Thinking about childhood interests can also help, as they show our true passions that arise from within, untouched by outside pressure.
Build flexibility and adaptability. We may not feel as sharp as we once were, but with intentional action, our brain can remain flexible.38 You can pick up a language or cook a new dish. The concept of post-traumatic growth (创伤后成长) teaches us that difficult experiences can change us for better. We should believe that we can always improve no matter what happens.
Regulate our emotions properly. Activities like gardening or cleaning engage the hands and body, which ground us in the present and free us from endless worrying. Try practices such as tech-free days or mindfulness training. 39
Decide our own priorities. The Self-Determination Theory is a framework that helps you understand and improve your motivation and well-being. 40 Look at simple, practical ways to balance prioritizing self-care, caring for others, and pursuing the goals that are emotionally meaningful to you.
A．Deal with personal wounds.
B．Draw on inner values in uncertainty.
C．Gradually, our inner voice fades away.
D．It emphasizes autonomy as a psychological need.
E．We often forget about the importance of hard work.
F．The key is to keep curious and open to learn new things.
G．They help reduce stress and balance our mood effectively.

As “fan circles” — communities formed around shared devotion to celebrities — grow into an important feature of contemporary pop culture, scholars are beginning to take them seriously. Recently, a new book, Fan Circle Chronicle: Love, Data, and Power, 56 (step) directly into this space.
Authors Ma Zhonghong and Tang Leshui spent five years applying themselves 57 studying fan communities. Through in-depth interviews with young fans, they documented everyday practices, gathering raw, first-hand insights into 58 these circles operate.

67. 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。
My father and I had always been close. When I was growing up, he was my hero — the one who taught me how to ride a bike, holding the seat with his rough hands until I found my balance without realizing he had let go. He came to every school play, always sitting in the third row with his camera, even when I had only three lines. He stayed up late helping me with math homework, drawing diagrams after coming home tired from long shifts at work.
Somehow, everything started to change when I turned sixteen.
That was the year I discovered my own opinions. Opinions about the bands I played, the friends in torn jeans and fancy jackets I brought around, the dark T-shirts I insisted on wearing to dinner. My father had opinions too. However, they rarely matched.
The arguments started small. But they grew gradually. By the time I was a senior, we could barely be near each other without the tension swallowing (吞没) the whole room. The last fight was the worst. I don’t even remember what caused it — something about coming home past midnight, I think — but I remember the words. I directed words at him about never understanding me. He said words about me never respecting anything.
So I moved out two weeks after I graduated from college, dragging two garbage bags of clothes into a friend’s home, because I couldn’t stand the weight of his silence across the dinner table anymore.
For three years, we barely spoke. My mother would call, her voice strained (紧绷的) as she tried to bridge the gap. “He loves you,” she’d say. “He just doesn’t know how to say it.” I didn’t want to hear it, though a small part of me still wondered if he missed me too. I told myself I was fine. But deep down, I knew “fine” was just a lie I needed to survive.
Then came the call from my mother I never expected.

第一节 倡议书
Dear fellow students,
Recently, it is common to see many students leave their tableware and leftover food uncleaned after dining in the school canteen. This bad behavior not only creates extra work for staff but also messes up the canteen environment, affecting our dining experience.
To keep our canteen clean and tidy, we should take action immediately. Firstly, please clear your tableware and rubbish after meals voluntarily. Secondly, remind classmates around you to form good dining habits. Small efforts can make a big difference. Let’s work together to build a clean and harmonious campus.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写
Then came the call from my mother I never expected. Her trembling voice told me that my father had fallen ill suddenly and was sent to hospital urgently. My heart sank instantly. All the past quarrels and stubbornness faded away at once, replaced by overwhelming anxiety and regret. I rushed out immediately and hurried to the hospital, praying silently that my father would be safe. On the way, countless warm memories of my father’s love and care flooded into my mind.
The moment I stepped into the hospital room, I saw my father lying in the bed. He looked weak and pale, totally different from the tough and powerful father in my memory. When he caught sight of me, his eyes lit up faintly. Holding his rough hand gently, I couldn’t hold back my tears and apologized for my childishness and rudeness in the past. He smiled weakly and said he had never blamed me. At that moment, all the misunderstandings between us disappeared. I realized family love is the most precious treasure, and I would cherish every moment with my father from then on.
