Some of the best museums across China are putting their exhibitions online in VR format for free. Why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for
The Palace Museum
The Palace Museum is known as the Forbidden City. Visitors can browse all the buildings of the Palace Museums. More than 400,000 imperial artifacts have been digitized online, which can definitely help you gain knowledge and immerse yourself in a cultural atmosphere.
The websites: https://pano.dpm.
Shanghai Museum
Shanghai Museum is a large and famous museum, which collects over 120,000 precious artistic relics from more than 5,000 years ago to the Qing Dynasty. The marvelous bronze, ceramics, paintings and calligraphies offer a visual feast for the eyes, and also provide a good chance for people to learn the profound Chinese history and culture.

Mogao Caves
The Mogao Caves, also known as Thousand Buddha Grottoes, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located near Dunhuang in northwest China’s Gansu Province.
Now visitors can directly browse dozens of classic caves and appreciate the murals (壁画) by cave rooms through the “Digital Dunhuang”, the website of the Mogao Caves. The development of “Digital Dunhuang” not only shocks visitors in a visual sense but also “moves” the Mogan Grottoes outside.

Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding.
However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go.
Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.
That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador.

C．The earth’s future is in the hands of children.

A moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look. My look says, “What, you don’t understand ” Theirs says, “We don’t. And we think you’re making it up.” We are having a problem. Basically, we’ve all read the same story, but we haven’t used the same analytical approaches. It may seem at times as if the professor is inventing interpretations out of thin air.
Actually, the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader, the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain “language reading”. Besides, he has grasped three professional tools-memory, symbol and pattern. These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones.
English professors are cursed with memory. When reading a new book, I constantly seek out connections and inferences, recalling faces and themes from past readings. I can’t not do it, although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise. This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment.
Professors also read and think symbolically. Everything is a symbol of something, it seems, until proven otherwise. We ask: What does the thing over there represent The kind of mind that works its way through undergraduate and then graduate classes in literature and criticism tends to see things as existing in themselves while also representing something else. This tendency to understand the world in symbolic terms is enhanced by years of training and rewards the symbolic imagination.
A related phenomenon in professorial reading is pattern recognition. Most professional students of literature learn to take in the specific detail while seeing the patterns that the detail reveals. Experience has proved to them that life and books fall into similar patterns. Literature is full of patterns, and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work, even while you are reading it, and look for those patterns.
8. How does the author introduce the topic
A．By describing a real-life scene.
B．By using popular quotes.
C．By presenting conflicting ideas.
D．By raising an interesting question.
9. Why do the students think the professor is making up interpretations
A．They have limited life experience.
B．They lack chances for sufficient reading.
C．They are unable to analyze the text thoroughly.
D．They do not trust the professor’s teaching abilities.
10. What does paragraph 3 say about English professors
A．They have a strong desire to not have their good memory.
B．Their reading habit doesn’t always guarantee desirable effects.
C．Their memory adds to their reading pleasure of popular works.
D．They keep making connections with their own life while reading.
11. Which is the author’s suggestion on reading literature
A．Identify the hidden text modes.
B．Perceive many things at the same time.
C．Look for details and language patterns.
D．Memorize patterns of symbolic meanings.
D
Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm (算法) to accurately detect heart murmurs (杂音) in dogs, one of the main indicators of heart disease. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge, adapted an algorithm originally designed for humans and found it could automatically detect and grade heart murmurs in dogs, based on audio recordings from digital stethoscopes (听诊器).
“Heart disease in humans is a huge health issue, but in dogs it’s an even bigger problem,” said Dr Andrew McDonald from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. “Roughly one in every thirty dogs seen by a vet has a heart murmur, although the incidence is higher in small breed dogs and older dogs. Most smaller dog breeds will have heart disease when they get older, but obviously dogs can’t communicate in the same way that humans can, so it’s up to primary care vets to detect heart disease early enough so it can be treated.”
The researchers started with a database of heart sounds from about 1,000 human patients and developed the machine learning algorithm. They then adapted it so it could be used with heart sounds from dogs. The researchers gathered data from almost 800 dogs that were undergoing routine heart examination. All dogs received a full physical examination and heart scan to grade any heart murmurs and identify heart disease. Their heart sounds were recorded using an electronic stethoscope. The researchers adjusted the algorithm so it could both detect and grade heart murmurs based on the audio recordings, and tell the difference between murmurs associated with mild disease and those reflecting advanced heart disease that required further treatment.
“So many people talk about AI as a threat to jobs, but for me, I see it as a tool that will make me a better doctor, ” said.co-author. Professor Jose Novo Matos. “We don’t have enough time or veterinary (兽医的) specialists to screen every dog with a murmur. But tools like these could help vets and owners, so we can quickly identify those dogs that are most in need of treatment.”
12. What is the function of the machine learning algorithm
A．To record sounds of dogs.
B．To treat heart disease in dogs.
C．To identify and rate heart murmurs in dogs.
D．To train vets to recognize heart murmurs in dogs.
13. Why is heart disease in dogs considered a bigger problem than that in humans
A．Dogs can’t express their symptoms like humans.
B．Vets are less skilled in detecting heart disease.
C．Dogs have a higher incidence of heart disease.
D．Heart disease in dogs is harder to treat.
14. What can be inferred about the researchers’ approach to developing the algorithm
A．Adapting the algorithm for dogs was unplanned.
B．Dog data was prioritized over human data to r accuracy.
C．The algorithm is less accurate for dogs than for humans.
D．The development of the algorithm was based on human data.
15. What is Jose Novo Matos attitude to the use of AI in veterinary medicine
A．Skeptical.
B．Negative.
C．Positive.
D．Neutral.
E 七选五
It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____
There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____17____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable.
We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.
Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.
____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.
It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost.
A．Familiarity is important.
B．Music itself is easy to remember.
C．But what makes music so effective in doing this
D．Our musical preference usually forms during our teens.
E．This applies to music more than other cultural products.
F．Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory.
G．Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories.
