2、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."

3、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.

4、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."

5、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.

17、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式，

UNESCO has recently added the "Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year" to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This inclusion (represent) a deeper acknowledgment of the richness and liveliness of the Chinese culture. It also provides an opportunity for people around the world (learn) about and appreciate Chinese traditions. And it is a reminder while we may have different ways of celebrating, the underlying values of love, hope, and connection are (universal) shared.

The Spring Festival (celebrate) for over 4,000 years and is the most important traditional festival in China. It begins on the eve of the Lunar New Year and lasts for 15 days (conclude) with the Lantern Festival. For many, it is a time to return to their hometowns, reunite with loved ones, honor ancestors, a practice deeply (root) in Confucian values.

its ancient origins, the Spring Festival remains deeply relevant in modern times. It has evolved to incorporate contemporary elements, such as digital red envelopes and online greetings, while retaining its core values. For many younger (generate), it serves as a bridge to their cultural heritage, offering a sense of continuity and identity in an ever-changing world.

18、​​​​​​​There has been growing concern about "digital dementia" — the idea that excessive (过度的) dependence on smartphones and the internet harms cognitive (认知的) abilities. However, recent research suggests that for adults over 50, these technologies may actually have the opposite effect. An overall analysis of nearly 60 studies involving 410,000 older adults found that those who frequently used smartphones, computers, and the internet were less likely to experience cognitive decline compared to those who used them less.

Jared Benge and his colleague Michael Scullin at Baylor University in Texas searched the literature for studies involving the use of digital technologies in people over 50. The team focused on daily experience of dealing with digital technologies, and excluded ones focusing on gaming or brain training. This left 57 studies, most of which were done in Europe or North America, but there were papers from all around the world, says Benge. "And the effects seem to be fairly consistent."

Three key mechanisms (机制) that explain this effect, says Benge. First, digital activities are more cognitively engaging than passive ones like watching TV. Second, digital technology boosts social connections, for instance, video calls. Third, digital tools like GPS navigation help older adults maintain independence for longer, ensuring they don't get lost even if their way-finding abilities decline, for example.

The main weakness is that the studies in the analysis relied on people self-reporting how much they used smartphones, computers or the internet. In the future, technologies such as screen-time monitoring could provide objective measures. Benge also points out that the people in these studies didn't have smartphones or internet access as children. "Does this play out for digital natives? This is a snapshot (快照) that's encouraging, but the story is not done being told."

That said, while the results of the meta-analysis are inconclusive, they suggest that long-term technology use can be beneficial for the brain and cognition, says neuroscientist Dean Burnett. "This clearly challenges the common quick judgment that ‘technology equals bad' in terms of brain and mental health."

19、​​​​​​​The Sanxingdui Museum in Southwest China's Sichuan Province enjoyed huge popularity during the three-day Qingming Festival holidays by receiving nearly 20,000 visitors on the peak day, after the new archaeological(考古的) discoveries brought international attention.

According to media reports, the museum saw over 15,000 visitors on Saturday, the first day of the Qingming Festival holidays, breaking its record for daily visitors. And on the next day, more visitors swarmed into the museum to exceed 19,800. To cope with the large flow of people, on Sunday afternoon, the official Weibo account of the Sanxingdui Museum released a message to remind visitors of avoiding rush hours or rescheduling their visiting time.

The Sanxingdui Museum showcases various kinds of precious cultural relics unearthed at the site, such as the 2.62-meter-tall standing statue, 1.38-meter-wide bronze mask, and 3.95-meter-high bronze tree. Earlier on March 20, Chinese archaeologists announced some new major discoveries made during the 37th excavation (挖掘) since its last excavation 35 years ago. The ruins were first discovered in the late 1920s and first excavated in 1934. More than 500 important cultural relics have been unearthed in the six newly-found pits. Since the new discoveries were known to the public, the number of people visiting the Sanxingdui Museum has increased sharply.

The museum said although it was open as usual, the newly-found pits had not opened to the public yet and the newly-excavated cultural relics were still under restoration and couldn't meet the public currently. But a hall for cultural relic conservation and restoration would be inpilot operation in April and officially opened on May 18. Visitors to it can see how the relics are restored, according to Zhu Yarong, vice director of the Sanxingdui Museum.

Dating back about 3,000 years, the Sanxingdui Ruins have shed light on the ancient Shu civilization and cultural origins of the Chinese nation, and have been regarded as one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.

20、​​​​​​​It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.

I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I had accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.

My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn't seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.

The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as I knew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I've learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person's life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.
