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: PaintingIntroduction: 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 ExhibitionIntroduction:
“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:
SculptureIntroduction: 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.
Shared Themes:
◎Challenging insight — Pushing boundaries (real vs. surreal, 2D vs. 3D)
◎Reinterpreting materials and space through form and placement
21．What influences Sera Holland’s art creation?

When Craig Miller moved to the Catskill Mountains in New York after retirement, the journalist wanted to
get away from traffic jams and enjoy a quieter pace of life. Yet, one year into his stay, he became his town’s
newest volunteer firefighter.
Driving around town and noticing recruitment signs, he decided to dig further. “Speaking to fire chiefs, I
realized they are in crisis since rural areas can’t get young people to join,” he says. “The chief was trying to
persuade me to join, saying that it didn’t matter about my age.” Miller signed up as he realized that volunteering
would be a good way to integrate into the community.
“The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything
from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders,” he says. “We started every session with a ‘donning drill’,
racing to put 18 kilograms of equipment on in less than a minute. We sometimes had to do it four or five times and
I was moving unsteadily by the end. It immediately improved my fitness.”
Averaging 60 callouts a year, Miller has experienced his hair-raising moments. “I’ve been on car fires and
wildfires which are stubborn and difficult. Cars can also give off poisonous smoke when they are melting,” he
says. “The worst feeling is when you receive fire alarm notice from my pager (传呼机), show up and you’re the
only one at the station. That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I
would have to lead the callout.”
The greatest impact has come from helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives. “It’s
massively rewarding to put yourself out there for strangers and they are so grateful for us, too,” he says. Despite
initially thinking he would stop volunteering at 70, Miller is now committed to carrying on. “One of the essential
things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference. I’ll keep going as long
as I have the ability. It gets in your blood,” he says.
24．Why did Miller serve as a volunteer firefighter?
A．To become part of the local community.
B．To escape from traffic jams in the city.
C．To receive training and improve his fitness.
D．To experience an exciting and rewarding job.
25．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The routine of firefighters.
B．The firefighting training.
C．The way how he improved his fitness.
D．The introduction of their equipment.
26．What made Miller feel worst?
A．Burning cars gave off poisonous smoke.
B．The donning drills were too hard for him.
C．Car fires and wildfires are difficult to put out.
D．He had to deal with emergencies alone.
27．What motivates Miller to continue volunteering?
A．Earning extra income.
B．Strangers’ grateful thanks to them.
C．Finding a purpose in his life.
D．Obtaining ways to become healthy.
C
For decades, scientists have tried to build artificial copies of nature’s perfect molecular (分子的) machines:
enzymes (酶). The common belief was that to copy an enzyme’s function, one had to perfectly copy its difficult,
folded 3D structure. A recent breakthrough from a team led by Professor Ting Xu at the University of California,
Berkeley, has made this a big step forward.
Instead of perfectly copying a protein’s exact structure, the researchers focused on designing Random
Heteropolymers (RHPs). These are a variety of things made from a mix of different chemical building blocks. The
key design rule they discovered was that the polymer’s (多聚物) soft carbon “backbone” could bend to create the
right micro-environment for a chemical reaction,even without a perfect shape. In simple terms, it’s like creating a
functional workbench not by building a fixed tool box,but by having a self-adapting table that can arrange its tools
as needed.
Guided by computer analysis of over 1,300 natural metal-containing enzymes, the team programmed their
RHPs by including key functional monomers (the tools) and strictly controlling the chemical character of the parts
containing them. The result was amazing. These polymers formed pseudo-active sites that could successfully
speed difficult reactions, such as the oxidation (氧化) of a molecule. In some ways, they even perform better than
their natural counterparts.
This discovery opens a new path for functional material design. The researchers expect that this basic
knowledge could lead to new plastics designed to break down safely in the environment,or materials able to clean
up pollutants from waterways. It represents a change from trying to perfectly imitate nature’s blueprint to learning
its basic design means,enabling us to create materials that meet our own technological and environmental needs.
28．Why do scientists try to build artificial copies of enzymes?
A．To copy their functions.
B．To change their structures.
C．To prepare them for sale.
D．To make them easier to see.
29．What is the main difference between the new and traditional ways to build artificial enzymes?
A．The new way needs a fixed tool box to conduct.
B．The new way places functional ability over perfect structural copying.
C．The new way focuses on making the artificial enzyme more affordable.
D．The new way avoids using any chemical building blocks found in nature.
30．What does the underlined word “counterparts” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Competitors.
B．Designers.
C．Equals.
D．Survivors.
31．What can we learn about the probable effect of this research according to the text?
A．It will soon replace natural enzymes.
B．It has had practical applications already.
C．It is changing the way we treat diseases.
D．It may lead to environmentally friendly materials.
D
Artificial intelligence inspires a mix of wonder and anxiety. It promises efficiency, creativity, and economic
growth. But as its use spreads, an uncomfortable truth emerges: AI systems may never be truly secure. Their
security weaknesses are not minor errors but the unavoidable consequence of how these technologies are built.
Traditional software has boundaries: defined inputs, formal reasoning, predictable outputs. Security relies
on spotting errors and fixing them. AI is different. Models learn from oceans of data, forming patterns even their
designers cannot fully trace. This cloudiness — praised as intelligence — also makes assurance impossible. What
cannot be understood cannot be secured.
Opponents thrive in that uncertainty. Slightly changed images fool facial recognition. A handful of
poisonous data points influence training results. Carefully crafted prompts ( 提示词) tempt systems to reveal
secrets. Unlike conventional attacks, these weaknesses cannot be patched away (补丁修复). They are woven into
the learning process itself, and therefore permanent.
The risks rise with adoption. A chatbot talking nonsense is an annoyance. An AI in charge of medical
diagnoses or financial trades is another matter. Imagine patient outcomes damaged by poisonous inputs, or stock
markets shocked by engineered algorithms. When fragile systems run critical infrastructure, fragility transforms
into systemic risk.
Defenders are not unoccupied. Opposing training, model monitoring, and data sanitation ( 净化) aim to
bounce back. Yet each solution has limits. Training against one attack leaves blind spots for another. Security
layers add costs and slow performance — burdens unwelcome in a global AI arms race that rewards speed over
caution.
Like nuclear power or aviation, AI may require ongoing monitoring, legal framework, and international
norms. Yet regulatory responses are often reactive, lagging far behind technological leaps.
History suggests severe lessons. The Internet was built without security at its core, and decades later society
still struggles with hacking, disinformation, and cybercrime. AI seems certain for the same path: constant security
weaknesses, partial fixes, and a permanent arms race between attackers and defenders. Perfection will remain out
of reach.
32．Why is AI security fundamentally different from traditional software?
A．AI systems use formal reasoning for reliable outputs.
B．Traditional software has much more minor errors to fix.
C．AI’s security weaknesses are easier to patch through updates.
D．Traditional software has predictable and traceable boundaries.
33．What does the author think of the current efforts to defend AI systems?
A．They are sufficient to address all potential threats.
B．They are the main driver of the global AI arms race.
C．They cannot be fully secured without a balancing act.
D．They have kept up with the speed of AI development.
34．Why does the author mention the history of the Internet?
A．To predict a future of perfectly secure AI.
B．To present a security model for AI to follow.
C．To claim regulation can easily prevent AI risks.
D．To imply AI security may be a lasting social issue.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．The Bright Future of AI: Efficiency and Creativity
B．The Security Dilemma of AI: A Built-in Challenge
C．The Path to Perfect Security: Building Unbreakable AI
D．The Weaknesses of AI’s Security: A Temporarily Challenge

At dawn and dusk, forests appear muted and nearly monochromatic (单色的) to human eyes. But white-
tailed deer might see a very different, aglow landscape.
Since the 1970s, biologists have understood that deer leave signposts — from rubbing antlers on trees or
scraping the ground — for scent-based communication. 36 The researchers scanned 146 such signposts
in Georgia using ultraviolet lights. They found that although the signposts look ordinary in daylight, they reemit
blue-green light when exposed to UV wavelengths common at dawn and dusk. This likely happens because antler
rubs strip away bark, revealing lignin-rich inner wood that fluoresces (散发荧光) in a way bark does not.
The visual contrast also intensifies as the breeding season approaches. 37
This shift in light is particularly relevant, the authors say, because the eyes of white-tailed deer have
enhanced sensitivity to short- and middle-wavelength colors in this stage, especially under low-light conditions.
Traditionally, mammalian (哺乳动物的) biofluorescence has been studied as a subject of the animal itself.
38
However, not all experts are convinced. One skeptic not involved in the study noted that if humans cannot
see the markings under natural light, deer likely cannot either. 39
The researchers describe the study as a first step. 40
A．But one group of researchers wondered whether these marks also provide visual messages.
B．Therefore, deer rely solely on scent for communication throughout the year.
C．In such period, marks are brighter because male deer antlers have fully hardened and their rubs can expose
more inner wood.
D．This discovery suggests that biofluorescence might also be embedded in the environment, adding a largely
unseen layer to how animals communicate.
E．This argument highlights a key limitation of the current study: its findings are based on technical
measurement, not observed animal behavior.
F．This means that deer are likely color-blind to red and orange hues.
G．Future research will need to confirm whether deer actually use these visual cues in their natural habitat.

said. Hearing that, I walked into class with 55 and did well in the moot court.

I was a 22-year-old medical student from Sri Lanka, studying in a quiet university town in Russia. For as
long as I could remember, becoming a doctor had been my greatest aspiration — one that had driven me to leave
my family and home behind, to brave the harsh Russian winters and endless hours of tiring study. I had always
believed that with hard work, I could heal the sick and make my parents proud.
But my financial situation took a sudden turn for the worse when my family back in Sri Lanka could no
longer send me money. With no savings left and bills piling up, I had no choice but to pack my bags and return
home, abandoning the dream I’d fought so hard for.
On the morning of my departure, I dragged my heavy suitcase to the bus stop, my steps slow and heavy.
The bus to Moscow was crowded and endless traffic jammed the roads for hours. By the time I finally reached the
city center, I could barely breathe from worry — I was already running late for my flight. I grabbed my suitcase
and rushed toward the underground station, my breath coming in short gasps ( 喘气) as I weaved through the
bustling crowds.
When I finally made it to the airport, my heart sank. The flight gate was shut tight. I approached the
counter, my voice trembling as I begged the staff for help. “You can take the standby flight 3 hours later, Miss,”
the staff lady said, “but you have to pay an extra one hundred dollars for the rebooking fee.”
I had used up all my savings on the journey to Moscow and had no financial support from home; I didn’t
have that money. For me, it was an impossible amount. I wanted to be strong, to hold back my tears, but I
couldn’t. I broke down and cried uncontrollably right there in front of the counter, my shoulders shaking as I
thought of my wasted efforts and the uncertain future waiting for me. People began to gather around me.
Suddenly, I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder.
