1、Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits

The 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.

12、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。

I was doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling (乱画) a fish. But not just any fish. This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said "I'd rather be skating!"I laughed and drew a sea star saying "Quit fooling around and get to work!"

Just then, Ollie's grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Goldberg came into the kitchen. Mr. Goldberg was in charge of the local animal shelter. Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal shelter. Mr. Goldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that not enough people were adopting pets, resulting in too many animals without homes.

Overhearing the conversation, Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly. But Abuela said that one noisy parrot was plenty for this house.

"Blue isn't noisy," defended Ollie. "He's just musical."

"I'd have a whole farm full of animals if I could," I said. "But my parents say two cats and a hamster (仓鼠) are enough."

Mr. Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals, but found it hard to get people's attention these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrote the words "Please adopt me" in the shape of a whale spout (喷水). Mr. Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them, saying that these clever talking animals just might grab people's attention. And he asked us if we were willing to design a poster for his animal shelter, a proposal we happily accepted. We decided to draw some ideas on our own and meet up again the next afternoon.

That night, when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster, my little brother brought in our hamster, Mr. Nibbles, to give him a little run-around time. He made a hamster playground out of couch pillows and Mr. Nibbles began to run around merrily.

Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind.

We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the poster.

14、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

To understand a painting, we're taught to look for color, composition, and light. But how can a painting (appreciate)by someone who's blind? Through touch, the one thing gallery signs tell you not (do). John Olson, a former (photograph)and his team turn paintings into fully textured 3D models.

The tactile(可触知的)paintings work as a way to show art to blind because we don't see with just Our eyes: We see with our brains. Research in the field of neuroplasticity-the brain's adaptability-shows that the visual cortex(大脑皮层)is made active by touch. Blind people recognize shapes with their (exist) senses, in a way similar to that of (sight )people, says Ella Striem-Amit, a Harvard scientist.

Luc Gandarias, who's now thirteen, went blind suddenly age seven. When he felt a 3D version of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" he (notice)her smile right away. "I can actually feel what you see when you look at it," he said.

For Luc, this means (independent). "The feeling of being able to see it to form my opinion is like breaking down another wall as a blind person."

15、Some people worry that there's too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It's practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end?

Well, if certain people have their way, it'll go even further. We'll have microchips implanted (植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.

For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson's disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.

However, it's another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we'd need to be 100 per cent certain that it's safe.

How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain? A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they'd be okay with it, but that's when it's purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.

Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.

16、Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. "You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field," she says. "Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don't know how long the match lasts. However, it's 90 minutes in football so you know what you're fueling for."

Regardless of the sport, Cathy's attitude remains the same: Any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It's a key part of the training process. It's not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. "Just as you wouldn't forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don't forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can't get out if you haven't put in."

Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant (斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can't eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. "It's about when's the right time to have it in," she says. It's a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. "A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat, right?', and there's this inherent belief that we mustn't eat those kinds of things. But it's not about what to cut out. It's about making sure that you've got the foundation right for health and performance. It's that one size fits one. It's what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater."

17、Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamline d black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.

Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet — enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.

Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price — $50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.

Years passed, and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one-look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.

That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the center of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather's eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
