Van Gogh: The Roulin Family PortraitsThe Exhibition
When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles, France, he befriended his neighbor and postman
Joseph Roulin, along with his wife and three children. Van Gogh went on to paint several vibrant
and expressive portraits of the Roulin family. This exhibition showcases about twenty of them,
demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture.
Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits also reveals the significance of Van Gogh’s close
friendship with Joseph Roulin amidst his arrival in a new town and struggles with mental health.
The Roulin portraits appear alongside other works — including Japanese prints and Paul Gauguin
paintings — that helped shape Van Gogh’s work during this period.

Born on her family’s farm in Ray, North Dakota, Mary Sherman Morgan had been helping
her father with farm work before she could attend the small-town schoolhouse. Being a few years
behind didn’t hold her back and she graduated from high school with honors. Aware of her
intelligence, she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major, where
her skill was evident.
The outbreak of World War II led to a national shortage of chemists and scientists. In spite
of the fact that she was still a student and a woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst
due to her talents, producing explosives (爆炸物) for the wartime effort. She put her degree on
hold and moved to Ohio, taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce
weapons.
After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so she made a move to the
field of aeronautics, moving to California to work for NAA (North American Aviation). The only
woman out of 900 engineers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the
performance of rocket propellants (推进剂) and designing special fuels to work with different
engines. However, never having returned to complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or
higher pay of an engineer, even though she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked to find a fuel capable of
lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into space, Morgan was appointed technical lead on the
project. National pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigating fuels. After countless
trials, she finally designed her own mixture, which was named Hydyne.
Hydyne tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft (飞行器) ,
such as Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket
试卷第2页，共8页redesign. The fuel made the first successful US satellite launch possible, even if Morgan silently
slipped away from her success, retiring to focus on her family and leaving her chemistry career
behind.
4．What do we know about Mary?
A．She attended school while helping with farm work.
B．She was offered a job as a chemistry analyst after graduation.
C．She changed her working focus because her country’s demand changed.
D．She launched the first US satellite before retiring from her career.
5．What was Mary doing after the war ended?
A．Analyzing chemicals. B．Producing explosives.
C．Mixing and saving fuels. D．Designing and building aircraft.
6．What made Mary the technical lead on the project of NAA?
A．Her special knowledge in fuels. B．Her rank as an engineer.
C．Her discovery of Hydyne. D．Her sense of national pride
7．Which of the following words can describe Mary Sherman Morgan?
A．Caring and determined. B．Intelligent and skillful.
C．Courageous but sensitive. D．Accomplished but proud.

It was obvious with Pinocchio. Every time he told a lie his nose grew longer. But for the
rest of us in real life, the result of telling lies isn’t so evident. Is it possible that there are unseen
consequences to dishonesty?
Since lies are carried by speech, and speech originates in the brain, is it possible that telling
lies results in changes in the brain that are not outwardly observable? Psychologists Julia Lee and
Ashley Hardin wanted to find out.
Drs. Lee and Hardin set up a series of studies to explore the question of dishonesty, with
250 pairs of individuals. In each pair, one was assigned (分派) the task of either lying or telling
the truth. The other member of the pair was instructed to evaluate the emotions of the lying or
truth-telling partner. Each of the partners was then assigned the task of evaluating the emotions of
the other partner.
The research found that subjects who were asked to be dishonest were significantly worse
at detecting the emotional state of their partners than those who told the truth. Surprisingly, the
small, seemingly unimportant moments of dishonesty clouded an individual’s ability to read the
emotions of another individual later on.
To determine how well the participants could read other people’s emotions, the researchers
then had the subjects watch a series of short video clips. In the clips, actors expressed a wide range
of emotions in their facial expressions, voices, and body languages. The participants were then
asked to identify the emotional state of the actors. Once again, across all the experimental studies,
the researchers consistently found that those who were tempted to, and likely did lie, ended upperforming worse on the test of empathetic accuracy than those who didn’t lie.
We live in a world where businesses, social life, and personal relationships depend on the
ability of individuals to interact well with other people. And to interact with them we often need to
be able to determine their emotions. As most of us learned in kindergarten: it’s important to tell the
truth!
8．What is the aim of the studies?
A．To explore the motive for lying. B．To explain the Pinocchio Effect.
C．To test if lying causes brain changes. D．To teach people how to detect lies.
9．What does the underlined word “clouded” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Improved. B．Cleared. C．Monitored. D．Weakened.
10．What were the participants asked to do in the studies?
A．To learn body languages. B．To make faces.
C．To identify different emotions. D．To rate others’ performances.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The application of the study. B．The necessity of being honest.
C．The complexity of social interaction. D．The reasons for telling lies.
D
Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a
colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for lazy, you might even be
angry. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other
animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of resentment (不满). But a study by
Sarah Brosnan and Franks de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been
published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute.
They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like
their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and
services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study.
The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(代币) for food.
Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber.
However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but connected rooms, so that each could
observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly
different.
In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So
when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand
hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her
token in exchange at all, the other either threw her own token at the researcher or out of the room,
or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other
试卷第4页，共8页chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to inspire resentment in a female
capuchin.
The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, tike humans, are guided by social emotions.
In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable
only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous anger, it seems, are not
the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly
clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolves
independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the
species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.
12．In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by____.
A．making a comparison B．making an assumption
C．giving a conclusion D．explaining a phenomenon
13．The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph 1) implies that____.
A．anger towards unfairness is also monkey’s nature
B．monkeys are also angered by lazy rivals
C．monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other
D．no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions
14．Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys____.
A．prefer grapes to cucumbers
B．will not be co-operative if feeling cheated
C．can be taught to exchange things
D．are unhappy when separated from others
15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.
B．Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.
C．Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.
D．How a sense of fairness in humans evolves is uncertain.

Social media can be handy for staying connected to family and friends in modern times.
When engaged with mindfully, these platforms can help us tend to our interpersonal needs. Much
of our social media use, however, happens without thought or reflection. 16 But some
intentional actions can ensure healthier relationships and better mental health.
Searching for a “feelings wheel” online to learn about different emotions is a wise choice.
Notice those feelings that you are comfortable with as well as those with which you are less
familiar. Become curious about the full range of your feelings and begin to identify themthroughout your day. 17 Deep breathing, talking with a friend, and meditation are all
good options.
18 To bring yourself to the present moment, wait 30 seconds first every time you
open an app. Put your phone down, close your eyes, and do a quick scan to see how you’re
feeling. This “HALT” technique, borrowed from the 12-step movement, is particularly helpful.
Another action we need to take is to develop “soft” social communication skills. Work to
interact with people face-to-face regularly. 19 It might also include making a phone call
for every six texts you send. Every bit of practice helps us deepen our interpersonal webs.
Beyond individual efforts, we can also to find safe and reasonable ways to engage with
others in shared physical spaces. Community centers, libraries, places of worship, and volunteer
work put us in the way of like-minded others with whom we can interact. Commit to practicing
being in these spaces, even when it’s difficult and feels ineffective. 20
A．The act of showing up will pay off over time.
B．Replace some digital actions with real-life ones.
C．Always choose offline activities over online chats.
D．This makes it easier to develop habits that could harm relationships.
E．This can include purchasing coffee in person rather than ordering online
F．Too often, we turn to social media to distract ourselves from where we are.
G．For emotions difficult to work with, try helpful actions to help you get through.

Nowadays, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown
significantly.
A big new study suggests an 36 (explain)-the rise of social media. With data 37
（collect) from more than 50,000 American teenagers, researchers found that those who spent lots
of time 38 （read) social media posts were more likely to agree with remarks such as
“The future often seems 39 （hope). ” Those who used screens less were less likely to
report feelings of depression.
This, in fact, is not the first time that scientists 40 （find) that social media can rob
people of their happiness. One study published in 2016 asked a 41 （random) selected
group of adults to quit Facebook for a week. It turned out that they reported feeling less depressed
at the end of the week than those who continued using it.
Some research, 42 , suggests that social-networking sites can promote happiness if
used properly. This provides a reminder that it is users' attitudes 43 shape their experiences
on social media. Sarah, 44 junior at a high school in Los Angeles says, “People only post
what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is better than 45 （you). ”But
when asked if she has ever considered deleting her social media accounts, Sarah looks confused.
“No. I would feel lost. ”

47．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。
When I was a young girl, I used to love going adventuring. My dad always took me down
to the bush every weekend and we collected many sticks and stones to add to our collection. I
wasn’t like any ordinary girl as I loved the outdoors even as a young toddler. I was never into dolls
and tea parties.
Soon I became old enough to venture out on my own. When I ventured forth through the
Australian bush land, I felt as if I was in heaven. There was nothing more beautiful than feeling
the cool air brushing across my back. The leaves crushed beneath my feet at every step. I felt as if
I was home.
As the sun dipped down beyond the horizon, there was nothing more to do than to head
back home. On my way I heard a screeching（尖叫声）. It was the most horrible sound I had
ever heard in my life. Sure enough, I just had to investigate. In the dead of night, I headed towards
the screech and came across a lake or river of some sort. Looking up and down the river, I
couldn’t find a way to cross it. In much shame I decided to give up. It was about one o’ clock in
the morning and I thought my dad must be getting worried.
As I moved away from the lake, there was only one problem that I did not remember which
direction I came from. My brain told me left but my instinct (直觉) told me right. In my past
experiences I had always gone with my instinct. So of course I went with my instinct. As I walked
off into the distance, I could see the sun breaking out in my distant view.
