（2026·山东青岛·二模）Why do life’s challenges make some people stronger and others weaker? The
answer may lie in how our minds and genes interact. A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and
genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle.
Until now, research into cognitive biases and genetics has been entirely separate, so bringing them together
in this research is really exciting. Previous research clearly tells us that certain sets of genes may lead people to
develop anxiety or depression when they experience negative life events. But the new research finds that, in certain
situations, those genes can also be a real benefit to people when they’re in supportive environments. If a child with
so-called risky genes is in a good school and has much support, he or she can really flourish. We’re beginning to
realize that we shouldn’t call them risky genes, but sensitivity genes. This means that some people at risk of mental
health problems could, in the right conditions, be really happy.
The other side of the research looks at cognitive biases. People always say: “Why is the media full of
negative news stories?” This negativity can result in a society where people feel very anxious all the time. All of
our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons - it’s more important to spot a predator (捕食
者) than food-but this is especially true for anxious or depressed people. They are even more sensitive to the effects
of negative information, making it more likely that they will adopt a pessimistic habit of mind. Crucially, these
same people who are more affected by negativity are also more likely to be responsive to positive situations and,
potentially, to psychological interventions.
Right now, the researchers are on a five-year project and only halfway through. One of the exciting things is
the possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders. Once we know
this, we will be in a better position to tailor treatments for individuals, rather than applying the one-size-fits-all
approach used now.
10．What’s the focus of the new research?
A．Attitudes to different life choices.
B．The influence of negative experiences.
C．Responsive mechanisms to challenges.
D．The relationship between environment and genes.
11．How do the researchers arrive at the realization about “risky genes”?
A．By clarifying an assumption.
B．By comparing different situations.
C．By adjusting research procedures.
D．By analyzing effects of different genes.
12．What makes people sensitive to negativity according to paragraph 3?
A．Pressure from modern life.
B．Built-in survival mode.
C．Exposure to negative reports.
D．Drive for food resources.
13．Who might benefit more from the research?
A．People with genetic disorders.
B．People having high-risk lifestyles.
C．People with mental health condition.
D．People unwilling to accept challenges.
（25-26 高二下·湖北十堰·期中）As artificial intelligence-powered prosthetic (义肢的) arms become more
common, one key question stands out: Will people truly feel that these devices are part of their bodies? To explore
this, a group of scientists conducted new research.
Traditional prosthetics research has focused on control methods that enable devices to respond accurately to
user intentions, often by detecting bio-signals. This time, researchers used virtual reality to create the illusion (错
觉) that a participant’s biological arm had been replaced with a robotic prosthetic. Participants performed reaching
tasks while the virtual prosthetic arm autonomously moved toward the target. The researchers systematically varied
how long the movement lasts across six levels, ranging from 125 milliseconds (毫秒) to 4 seconds. After each trial,
participants evaluated multiple dimensions including body ownership, sense of agency, usability, and social
impressions of the robot.
Researchers found that when prosthetic limbs (肢) move at a suitable pace with a movement time of about
one second instead of 125 milliseconds, participants report the strongest sense of body ownership and usability. The
findings challenge the assumption that high speed is the most important measure of quality in prosthetic design,
showing instead that natural movement timing is essential for user acceptance.
At the same time, advances in machine learning and AI are opening the door to prosthetic limbs that can act
on their own. Future systems may assess a complex situation and provide support through autonomous or semi-
autonomous movement. However, when a limb moves independently, users may experience it as “unsettling” or
“not part of my body.” That reaction poses a significant obstacle to widespread acceptance.
Looking ahead, the research team plans to explore how long-term use changes perception. People often
begin to experience frequently used tools as if they were part of their body. With continued daily use, even a fast
and highly capable robotic limb may start to feel normal, easier to operate, and more like part of one’s own body.
14．How did the new research study prosthetics?
A．By detecting biosignals from users’ muscles.
B．By focusing on conventional control methods.
C．By using virtual reality to create the illusion of a robotic arm.
D．By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms.
15．What can we learn about the study results?
A．Faster prosthetic movement leads to stronger body ownership.
B．Natural movement timing matters more than high speed.
C．Users prefer prosthetics that act completely on their own.
D．The sense of agency is unrelated to movement speed.
16．What might a challenge for the acceptance of prosthetic limbs?
A．High cost of production.
B．Complexity of the system.
C．Unease about self-moving limbs.
D．Lack of advanced technology.
17．What does the follow-up study focus on?
A．Frequencies of using prosthetics.
B．Improvement of arm appearance.
C．Complete replacement of human arms.
D．Effects of the daily use on users’ feeling.

（2026·广西南宁·二模）In the summer of 2025, I volunteered at a community center in a provincial town.

（2026·山东·模拟预测）Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make
it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has
warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often
have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed,
although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that
it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and
the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American
universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is
crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big
comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated
from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment.
He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m
amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do? The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books
is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that
falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
1．How does the author present the topic?
A．By stating a worrying change.
B．By citing a research finding.
C．By explaining a cultural concept.
D．By describing a typical professor.
2．Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend?
A．Overuse of smartphones.
B．Limited access to literary works.
C．Insufficient school education.
D．Poor learning ability at university.
3．What does Bate imply by referring to his son?
A．Classical education is not a lost cause.
B．The young are no strangers to classics.
C．Charter schools deserve more attention.
D．Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
4．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B．Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C．Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D．Traditional Education Makes a Comeback
（2026·广东汕头·三模）People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes
every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field
of science, especially online. 5
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. 6 For example, explaining AI in self-driving
cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-
professional groups to understand. 7 Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory
experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor
humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to
researchers.
8 The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace
facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they
see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the
public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither
overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. 9 Scientists who
master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A．Overuse harms professionalism.
B．It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
C．It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
D．A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
E．Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
F．It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
G．It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.
（2026·浙江·二模）As basalt (玄武岩) naturally weathers, it captures CO2, converting it into bicarbonate
ions ( 碳酸氢根离子) in the water, which cannot reenter the atmosphere. Grinding and spreading basalt on
farmlands, an approach known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW), has recently gathered steam. But it also has
caused polarized viewpoints in terms of trapping CO2 and boosting crop yields.
While mining, crushing and transporting these rocks release CO2, those emissions pale in comparison to the
amount of CO2 that the rock stores away more permanently. It could remove up to two billion metric tons of CO2
from the air every year were ERW to be scaled up globally, according to David Beerling, a biochemist at the
University of Sheffield in England.
As great as this would sound, compared with some costly and ecosystem-unfriendly ways, such as CO 2-
pulling machinery and iron spread across the sea floor to enhance the growth of algae that absorb CO2, some
scientists just frown on this idea. Lethal Page had an unpromising result after he conducted an experiment in
Malaysia where basalt dust was spread across parts of a palm oil plantation. The dark soil contains more decaying
organic matter and more clay than the soil elsewhere. Those charged materials can cling on to the breakdown
products of basalt, keeping them from changing CO2 into bicarbonate. “There is a delay in capturing carbon
dioxide, which may take somewhere between 5 and 15 years,” Lethal says.
Acidity is another complicating factor, according to a trial on tropical sugarcane fields in northeastern
Australia. The soil there is acidic, so it can potentially consume the basalt before it has a chance to react with CO 2.
Initial results show that CO2 capture rates are extremely low. Paul Nelson, a soil scientist at James Cook University
who helped lead the study, says it is impossible to fix the problem just by neutralizing acidic soil before adding
basalt because in wet tropical areas the acidity extends many meters down, to the bedrock.
“ERW is a potentially valuable opportunity to remove CO2, but the aforementioned factors definitely impact
its effect, and if companies cut corners, like applying the wrong type of rock or spreading it too thinly, ERW could
blow up on the launch pad,” Paul cautions.
10．What is an important feature of basalt?
A．It tends to be enveloped by steam.
B．It makes for high output of crops.

（2026·四川成都·模拟预测）Someone hiked through a national park and stumbled across a herd of bison
(北美野牛). The wow of that moment, researchers discovered, would cement not just the magical experience in the
mind, but also lots of little, more ordinary events leading up to and away from it, like a rock spotted on the path.
What are the mechanisms for that?
While most of us know that special moments occupy a special spot in our memory banks, researchers have
been divided on concepts known as retroactive and proactive memory enhancement — the prioritization of
memories immediately before or after a significant event. Previous studies have disagreed on whether weaker
memories are stabilized through their association with a more notable one.
Robert M. G. Reinhart, an associate professor of brain sciences, says his latest project, which included nearly
650 participants across 10 individual studies and employed AI to analyze a broader dataset, is the first to
definitively demonstrate that such memory enhancement does occur. Many of his team’s experiments involved
showing participants dozens of images connected to varying reward levels, followed by a surprise memory test the
next day.
For things that occurred after a big event (proactive memory enhancement), the strength of recall depended
on the emotional impact of the event itself — the more enduring the big event, the more likely all subsequent
information was to be remembered. However, this pattern did not apply to memories from the period leading up to
the event (retroactive memory enhancement). Those memories were more likely to be consolidated if they shared
similarities, which connected them to the important moment. “For the first time, we show clear evidence that the
brain rescues weak memories in a graded fashion, guided by their high-level similarity to emotional events,” says
Reinhart. The researchers also found that if any secondary memories themselves carried emotional weight, the
enhancement effect was reduced. “The brain seems to prioritize fragile memories that would otherwise slip away,”
explains Reinhart.
Reinhart notes the discovery has broad implications for both theory and practice: In education, pairing
emotionally engaging material with fragile concepts could improve memory; in a clinical setting, it could
potentially help get back fading memories. On the other hand, the principle might also be reversed to help those
who wish to manage upsetting memories.
14．What does the underlined word “cement” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Erase.
B．Strengthen.
C．Maintain.
D．Fade.
15．What had researchers disagreed on before Reinhart’s study?
A．The value of ordinary moments
B．Memory length after key events.
C．The link between strong and weak memories.
D．AI’s role in memory experiments.
16．Which conclusion best summarizes the brain’s memory prioritization strategy?
A．It selectively rescues weak memories.
B．It strengthens all nearby memories equally.
C．It weakens fragile memories for focus.
D．It consolidates memories passively.
17．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Findings of memory experiments.
B．Ways to improve memory.
C．Mechanisms of memory enhancement.
D．Applications of memory research.
（2026·四川成都·模拟预测）For a long time, the ideal form of academic writing has been a formal and
impersonal style. This tradition, which comes from the scientific method, tries to present knowledge as objective
truth, discovered through neutral and repeatable steps. By using phrases like “the study found” instead of “I found”,
and passive sentences like “it was observed”, the individual writer steps back. The goal is to create a space where
ideas are judged only on their logic and supporting evidence, without the possible bias of personal opinion.
However, this approach has faced strong criticism in recent years. Critics say that the impersonal style
creates a false sense of pure objectivity. They point out that all research involves basic choices, which are always
influenced by the researcher’s background, personal views, and cultural setting. The traditional way, by making
writers hide behind third-person writing, can accidentally hide these influences, making it harder for readers to
question the basic ideas behind the work.
In response, a movement supporting a more “real” or “personal” academic voice has become popular.
Scholars are advised to use “I” carefully and to openly talk about their connection to their topic. A sentence like
“My experiences as a teacher led me to focus on this classroom situation” is now seen not as a weakness, but as
intellectual honesty. Supporters believe this openness recognizes the human side of research and can make difficult
ideas easier to connect with and more interesting, without losing accuracy.
Traditionalists argue that this change confuses style with real content. They support formal, exact language
and special terms as necessary tools for clear communication among experts. Their main worry is that focusing on
storytelling and personal voice might let well-written papers cover up weak evidence or poor methods. The main
purpose of academic writing, they say, is to present arguments and proof clearly; trying new styles should never
hide that basic goal.
This debate shows a deeper difference in thinking about what knowledge really is. Should it be shown as a
cold, built structure, or can it be seen as a more human, interpretive effort? In the end, the future of academic
writing might not be about one single style, but about developing a more flexible and thoughtful approach. Writers
might choose different voices-distant or personal-depending on who will read it, what field they are in, and what
they aim to do, while always remembering the final goal of being clear, exact, and truthful.
18．What is the main advantage of impersonal style in traditional academic writing?
A．It clearly highlights the writer’s personal view.
B．It makes ideas judged on logic and evidence.
C．It helps the public understand research easily.
D．It matches the format of top published papers.
19．Which of the following can be the idea of the critics?
A．Objectivity in academic research does not exist at all.
B．Personal voice should be avoided to ensure objectivity.
C．The impersonal style hides subjective factors in research.
D．Writing styles matter much more than strong evidence.
20．What is the author’s attitude toward the current debate on academic writing?
A．Hopeful of flexible styles still valuing academic accuracy.
B．Skeptical of personal voice harming scholarly integrity.
C．Annoyed by debate distracting from research methods.
D．Optimistic about traditional style dominating science.
21．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Publishing Research in Simple Steps
B．Adapting Academic Voice for Truth
C．Seeking More Personal Stories in ScienceD．Avoiding Bias in Academic Essays

The most common structural method 72 is found in ancient wooden architecture in China is the
mortise and tension joints, or sun mao in Chinese, extensively employed in buildings, furniture, and various other
wooden components. This technique reflects 73 ancient craftsmen discovered through continuous
refinement and trial and error.
The findings from the Hemudu culture site in the 1970s, 74 (date) back about 7,000 years and
situated in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, reveal the earliest examples of mortise and tension usage. Of
course, this structural technique is not unique 75 China. Evidence of similar mortise and tension
construction has also been found in Germany and Egypt.
The application of the mortise and tenon structure is extremely extensive, including connections between
surfaces, points, 76 the combinations of components. Through the complicated interlock of convex and
concave (凸凹的) elements, it forms 77 inseparable and remarkably stable wooden structure.
Besides, mechanical principles 78 (adopt) by Chinese people then in mortise-and-tenon
architecture, with their practices adjusted based on local conditions. 79 (couple) with the rigidity, load-
bearing capacity, and energy-absorbing properties of wood, traditional Chinese wooden constructions exhibit a
certain degree of earthquake 80 (resist). The design and the integration of various carving techniques

（2026·全国一卷·高考真题）Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital
excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms (算法), these institutions are creating personalized
visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. 1
AI transforms a standard museum trip into a personalized and interactive adventure. Smart recommendation
engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events,
making each visit unique and surprising. 2 These digital assistants engage visitors in dynamic
conversations and offer context-sensitive insights that deepen understanding and satisfy curiosity.
Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. Since the exhibits in
museums sustain natural decay (破损) over time, early detection is vital. AI can help identify the slightest signs of
decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. 3 Moreover, by
predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies.
AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. 4
For instance, interactive exhibits powered by AI can adjust their content and difficulty level based on the user’s
preferences and responses. This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and
engaging for young minds.
Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities and ethical ( 伦理的)
challenges. Museums are working together with AI ethicists to develop fair algorithms. 5 Strict policies
should be established to protect visitors’ information.
A．This capability allows for timely restoration.
B．Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues.
C．In short, AI is redefining the museum in all respects.
D．It tailors learning experiences to different age groups and learning styles.
E．Museums are not only places to store artworks, but also spaces for learning.
F．Furthermore, AI-powered virtual guides are replacing traditional tour guides.
G．AI is changing this by using image recognition technology to analyze exhibits.
（2026·全国一卷·高考真题）In line with longstanding initiatives to expand its green spaces, New York
City is planting tens of thousands of trees each year. They provide shade, lower surface temperatures, absorb a
surprising amount of airborne carbon, remove tiny pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat along with just plain
beauty.
Something could go wrong, though, according to a new study. Oaks and sweetgums, which currently account
for a majority of the city’s trees, produce huge amounts of a chemical substance called isoprene. Harmless by itself,
isoprene interacts rapidly with polluting nitrogen oxides released by vehicles, buildings and industry to form
ground-level ozone (臭氧) — a major factor in many breathing problems.
The research, carried out by scientists at the Columbia Climate School and other institutions, found that if
the city maintains past species patterns in new plantings, isoprene production in Manhattan in coming decades will
go up by about 140%, and resulting summer ozone levels as much as 30%.
“We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many good things,” said study coauthor Róisín Commane.
“But if we’re not careful, we could make air quality worse.”
The Parks Department is not oblivious to the issue. A study carried out by some of its researchers several
years ago concluded that city trees did release isoprene. “We didn’t make a big deal of that,” said Novem Auyeung,
a Parks Department senior scientist. She said trees should not be viewed as the enemy. “We could plant any trees
we want to, if we just rethink our car-centric lifestyle,” she said.
“We’re not going to go cutting down any big old oaks,” and neither will the department completely stop
planting new ones, said Auyeung. “You have to think about what you would lose if you do that.” Oaks are keystone
species, she pointed out, providing food and habitat for native insects, birds and other animals.
6．What does the new study imply regarding oaks and sweetgums?
A．They affect the growth of other trees.
B．They absorb less carbon than expected.
C．They harm people’s health indirectly.
D．They raise the local temperature slowly.
7．Which of the following may Commane suggest based on their study?
A．Cutting down the isoprene-producing trees.
B．Suspending tree-planting for a few decades.
C．Changing the species of trees in new plantings.
D．Removing isoprene released by existing trees.
8．What does the underlined phrase “oblivious to” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Honest about.
B．Unaware of.
C．Related to.
D．Optimistic about.
9．What would Auyeung probably advocate?
A．Reducing car use in daily life.
B．Providing animals with new habitats.
C．Controlling population growth.
D．Doing more research on the problem.
（2026·全国一卷·高考真题）Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a
word in a novel. “Look it up,” I responded. “But my screen time is off,” he said. I looked pointedly at the bookshelf
that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed (叹气) dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?” he
asked. Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary.
I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It
took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How
can there be this many words?” After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words, Mom?” I
smiled. “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this is one of my favorite books.”
I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I
could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these
pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase.
Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my
freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you still know all those words, even without the book.” I
realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it
wasn’t, ultimately, the dictionary that got me there — not really.
Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the
words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite.
10．What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word?
A．Use electronic devices.
B．Consult a paper dictionary.
C．Guess from the context.
D．Turn to his English teacher.
11．How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary?
A．Annoyed.
B．Disappointed.
C．Encouraged.
D．Astonished.
12．What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary?
A．It helped her through college.
B．It was given to Kevin as a gift.
C．It bore witness to her efforts.
D．It was a valuable limited edition.
13．What has the author come to realize about learning?
A．It is never too late to start.
B．Motivation is what really matters.
C．Children need role models.
D．Dictionaries are still a useful tool.
（2026·全国一卷·高考真题）A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the
cognitive (认知的) effects of merely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.
In the study, 187 people were invited to visit Kettle’s Yard gallery during an exhibition of handmade clay
objects. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the “beauty” group was asked to actively consider and
then rate the beauty of each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the object
with the artwork itself. All participants were then tested on how they process information, and whether it’s in a
more practical or abstract way.
Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on average than the control
group in abstract thinking. While they were told the study was about cognitive processes, participants were asked
about interests, with around half saying they had an artistic hobby. Among those, the effect was greater: those with
an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25% higher on average for abstract thinking than those with an
artistic hobby in the control group.
Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while completing the
gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of
“transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the
control group. Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the control group,
suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influenced abstract thinking, rather than any overall
positivity from the experience.
“We usually think in very concrete terms when doing something on a screen,” said Simone Schnall, senior
author of the study. “It’s becoming much rarer to zone out and just let the mind wander, but that’s when we think in
ways that broaden our minds. Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive
processes.”
14．What was the beauty group asked to do with the clay objects?
A．Draw their outlines.
B．Give each piece a rating.
C．Compare their prices.
D．Make a copy of each piece.
15．Which participants got the highest score on average in the test?
A．Beauty group, with an artistic hobby.
B．Beauty group, without an artistic hobby.
C．Control group, with an artistic hobby.
D．Control group, without an artistic hobby.
16．Why were the participants’ emotional states measured?
A．To discover their attitudes towards art.
B．To identify their specific thinking patterns.
C．To examine the difficulty of the tasks.
D．To determine factors behind the test results.
17．What is the major finding of the study regarding the appreciation of art?
A．It enhances emotional ties.
B．It needs critical thinking skills.
C．It creates positive feelings.
D．It encourages abstract thinking.

Daji, or big open-air fairs, typically take place on specific dates of the lunar calendar, for example, on dates

holidays such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as other local festivals. The exact dates
and 67 (frequent) of daji vary from region to region.
Daji originated from the ancient folk custom of trading goods, which dates back to 68 Han
Dynasty. As transportation and communication 69 (be) underdeveloped at that time, it was very difficult
for households to obtain daily 70 (necessity). As a solution, people gathered at specific locations on set
days to trade their surplus (剩余的) items 71 what they needed.
In addition to being venues for buying and selling, daji are occasions for socializing and entertainment.
People from near and far crowd into these markets on daji days. 72 (draw) by the aroma (香味) of

My first time doing tai chi
For the first 15 minutes of my tai chi (太极) class, we remain 76 (entire) in one spot to warm up.
Angela, a tai chi 77 (instruct) with twenty-eight years of experience, says that a successful hour of tai chi
is an hour with no negative thoughts. “Your mind 78 body go together. That’s all that matters.”
Although not a morning person, I begin my lesson with Angela and about twenty others at a Sydney
community centre courtyard at 7 am. “Put your 79 (foot) parallel (平行), and use your dan tian to hold
up your body,” she says.
In tai chi, the dan tian is your qi core and qi in Chinese means life force. Now, I 80 (suppose)
to feel the weight on my legs and sink my dan tian.
We move on to tai chi positions, of 81 there are forty-two in the style that Angela teaches. Today,
we will only be doing the first nine. The movements have 82 (describe) names like “holding the bowl”
and “grabbing the bird’s tail.”
During most of the class, we follow Angela and concentrate on making tiny, isolated ( 单独) movements.
Then, Angela gets us to try the nine movements on our own. I keep my eyes 83 a woman to my right and
try to copy her movements, but unfortunately I soon lose focus.
At the end of the lesson, I feel wide awake, despite it still 84 (be) early at 8 am. It’s time for my
dan tian 85 (meet) another life force: coffee.
