Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television program " Top Gear" discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: " That' s quite a strange combination. It' s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly. . . tomorrow" .
This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions (断言). We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?
I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being ‘generally rather casual' and ‘more outwardly friendly than many European counties' . German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.
So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson' s joke, but not baring an eyelid (眨眼) when it comes to generalizations. What is the difference between the two?
By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of
person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behavior that is typical of a certain group.
So what does this really mean? Stereotype are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist' s experience.
If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behavior which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings in this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence (冒犯) in those cultures.
However, others argue that generalizing cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the
best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals.
All this raises important questions: can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups?
(1)、What did Jeremy Clarkson mean by saying, " it' s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly. . . tomorrow" ?A、The stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good.

B、Generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes. C、Cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes. D、They think different cultural characteristics are useful.(4)、What' s the main purpose of this passage?A、To illustrate the importance of making generalizations.

At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui' s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid' s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.
Science is key to addressing these issues. But it isn' t the only key. To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships. People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives. There are reasons why some see science
as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics(优生学), and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes. Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyper specialist knowledge.
In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerful, but researchers and funders haven' t been as good at ensuring this evidence base responds to the needs and interests of diverse communities, or informs policy makers to take action. Science might be perceived as distancing itself from the personal, the poetic and the political, yet it is precisely these qualities that can be most influential when it comes to public interest in atopic or how a government prioritizes a decision.
A moving story well told can be more memorable than a list of facts. This is where the arts come in. Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories — subjectivities — into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.
In 2012, I set up artist residencies in medical research centers around the world. Bui was attached to the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam. The head of the research team was delighted, finding that Bui, as a Vietnamese artist, had license to be in, and to share useful insights from, villages where infectious disease researchers weren' t welcome. Six years later, I led Wellcome' s Contagious Cities program, which established artist residencies worldwide to support locally led explorations of epidemic preparedness. The recent pandemic made this work more noticeable, and has informed our Mindscapes program which is currently sharing experiences of mental health through the work of artists.
With pandemic, climate and mental health crises upon us, rising inequality and what feels like an increasingly broken world, never has there been more need to build and nurture hopeful and imaginative spaces to grow human connection and shared purpose for the common good. Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.
(1)、Why does the author list two works in Paragraph 1?A、To reveal the gap between science and art. B、To prove his competence in both science and art. C、To introduce successful science-related artworks. D、show that science can be promoted in art forms.(2)、What does the underlined word " chequered" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Recent and remote. B、Good and bad. C、Usual and unusual. D、Peaceful and scary.(3)、Which of the following would the author agree?A、Policy-makers base their decisions on science. B、Researchers popularize science effectively. C、Science is well received among the public. D、The arts help people build connections.(4)、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A、The Value of the Arts to Science B、Where Do Science and the Arts Meet? C、A New Way to Fight Pandemic — the Arts D、Which Matters More, Science or the Arts? -
3、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
" I can' t connect with your characters. "
I kept hearing the same feedback and was unable to understand why and not sure what to do. I was a character- driven writer. How could I mess up the one thing I was supposed to be good at? I was determined to convince my agent that these characters were real. After all, I knew they were real. My main character Lotus had lived inside me for years. I just needed to clarify her on the page.
I wrote and edited for a year, trying to respond to this agent' s feedback. But Lotus' personality began to disappear. I tried to have her make " better" decisions, wear smarter fashion, and have more friends, as my agent said she acted " immature" and was " isolated" . And when this agent ultimately parted ways with me, I felt like I had faile d. Now with time and distance, I realize I tried to fit Lotus into a neurotypical style to please my agent. And as a result, Lotus lost her Lotus-ness.
When that agent discouraged me from writing Lotus as autistic(自闭的), he said that would make Lotus seem more " vulnerable(脆弱的)" or an " obvious victim" . I didn' t want Lotus to seem vulnerable. Lotus' autism is what makes her powerful, I tried to explain. But from a neurotypical perspective, Lotus' autism could only be seen as a weakness.
Unsure of how to convince my agent of the strength and power autistic women hold, I began to write Lotus as " neurotypical" . And I failed miserably. After all, what do I know about being neurotypical? My whole life, autism was my default. Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world was " normal" .
My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent( 神经多样性的) experience. With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her. And when I did, the characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.
Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing. For so long, I' ve combatted the advice to " write what I know" , in part because I didn' t know what I actually knew. I didn' t know I was neurodivergent. But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience, my writing is stronger. There is a power to our lived experience. It' s not a limitation on our craft, but a swinging open of the gates.
(1)、How did the author feel when receiving the repeated response from the first agent?A、Confused. B、Convinced. C、Determined. D、Disappointed.(2)、Why did Lotus' personality get lost?A、Lotus no longer lived inside the author. B、The author attempted to please the agent. C、The agent failed to sympathize with Lotus. D、Lotus was considered childish and lonely.(3)、What do we know about the author?A、She regretted parting with the agent. B、She owed her success in life to autism. C、She was aware of her autism in the early years. D、She was empowered by her autistic experience.(4)、What has the author learned from her own experience?A、Stick to your dream despite discouragement. B、Be true to yourself and write from your heart. C、Giving in to authority is the barrier to success. D、Everyone is born an original instead of a copy. -

5、 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。
In high school, I was an editor of the school newspaper at the student union. And I won two national awards. I' ve been so focused on my dream of being a magazine editor that I' ve never wasted my time being fake-friendly to people -I was too busy for that. I almost didn' t socialize much in school, which meant I almost didn' t have any real friends in school. Unexpectedly, that annoyed a lot of people out of my expectation, so they began to talk about me behind my back. The gossip(流言蝵语)never bothered me since I was so into my goals and had no time to care much. But then I appeared on TV, and things changed.
When the show first broadcast last May, I received dozens of mean posts about me on the media sites, calling me " crazy" , and even some dirty words were used. Worse still, some strangers shot their fingers at me. How could they say such terrible words to me when they' d never met me? I still tried to focus on my work and told myself not to care about this, but that didn' t stop their comments from streaming in. Every day, mess messages continued to come in and it seemed no sign of end.
When I walked into class on a Monday morning, some girls actually pointed and whispered that I broke down the TV program. I wish I could have faced all negative things calmly or even ignore the gossip, but I couldn' t. Each time I went out of or into the classroom, there would be people I knew or total strangers, staring at me or whispering only adding to my sense of shame, and I just wasn' t able to shake any of it off. All the negative attention started to overwhelm me physically and mentally.

Are you someone who easily gets tired and doesn' t feel like doing anything? Do you label this kind of behavior as mere laziness?
Feel disconnected from everything.
People experiencing exhaustion most commonly don' t feel like themselves anymore, don' t feel engaged by anything and constantly struggle with the sense of helplessness and inability to take back control of their lives.

A clear difference between someone who' s worn out and someone who' s lazy is that the tired people used to have things they were passionate about. And even hate doing anything because of how much they overworked themselves.
Become moody and annoyed.

Florida wildlife officials say manatees(海牛)facing starvation are benefitting from a program that feeds them on tons of donated lettuce (生菜). The program aims to save as many of the large animals as possible as water pollution has led to shortages of their favorite food, seagrass.
The effort has provided the manatees with more than 25 tons of lettuce. The feedings usually draw about 300 to 350 manatees per day. Sometimes, there are as many as 800 manatees, Normally, wildlife experts advise against people feeding wild animals. This is because it can lead the animals to make an unhealthy connection between humans and food. It is a crime in Florida for a person to feed manatees on their own, even though officials say many people want to do so. Experts believe the best way people can help is to donate money through an official institution (机构).
In 2021, 1101 manatee deaths were reported, largely from starvation. The normal five-year average is about 625 deaths. State wildlife officials say that so far this year, 164 manatee deaths have been recorded. Tom Reinert, the local director of state' s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said the feeding program has helped to educe the rising death rates. (Officials estimate there are about 8800 manatees in Florida waters. That is a big improvement from about 2000 that existed in the 1990s. The increased numbers were responsible for manatees being removed from the endangered species list.
The most important element for supporting the remaining population will be restoring seagrass beds. So far, Florida has set aside 88 million to deal with that problem. " You can' t just go out and plant a bunch of seagrass," Reinert said. But he added, " Projects are getting started and are in the planning stages.
(1)、What is the program intended to do?
A、To reduce food waste.

Antony Aumann, a religious studies and philosophy professor at Northern Michigan University told Insider he had caught his student submitting essays written by the Al chatbot, and Aumann had his student rewrite the essay.
It' s not just his struggling with the rise of Al chatbots like ChatGPT. As a result of these tools becoming accessible to anybody with an Internet connection, education departments across the entire country are adjusting work process and redesigning entire courses, according to the NYT, forcing students to submit handwritten essays or introducing oral exams. The New York City and Seattle public school systems have already banned ChatGPT on their own networks and devices. " I think the consideration behind the ban is reasonable," Aumann said. " They want to make sure that their students are learning the critical thinking skills that ate part of learning how to write. "
But universities aren' t likely to follow the ban. After all, going around these restrictions is quite easy. Even tools designed to assist teachers in catching students secretly making use of Al tools like ChatGPT will probably be of little use, because students can change a few words from what ChatGPT produced, add some grammatical mistakes on purpose, and the detectors no longer think it' s written by a chatbot.
Besides, some professors including Aumann argued that the cat is already out of the bag. Once students are captured by ChatGPT' s convenience and efficiency, it' d be pointless to fight ChatGPT in the classroom.
Instead of absolute prohibition, Aumann suggested encouraging their students to react to ChatGPT in the same way they react to learning source - they will be asked to evaluate its reasons and arguments.
(1)、Why did the author mention Aumann' s case in paragraph 1?
A、To spread a tool of AI chatbots.
B、To start a discussion on ChatGPT.
C、To introduce ChatGPT technology.
D、To share a public concern on college education.(2)、Why is ChatGPT banned he some school systems?
A、Teachers can have easy access to ChatGPT.
B、Teachers can catch students cheating easily.
C、ChatGPT fails to develop learners' competence.
D、ChatGPT blocks the improvement of education systems.(3)、What does " the cat is already out of the bag" really mean in paragraph 4?
A、Students will be caught cheating through ChatGPT.
B、It cannot be avoided that ChatGPT attracts students.
C、Teachers decide to take action to address the problem.
D、The cat manages to escape from being caught eventually.(4)、What' s Aumann' s attitude to ChatGPT?
A、Worried. B、Subjective. C、Objective. D、Indifferent. -

As a child, Liu Wenwen didn' t like the suona, a " loud" traditional Chinese musical instrument, also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.
Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date.

" Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jarz, opera and other art foms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China' s social media platforms, often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music. " I felt my hard work had paid off. I trained for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage" .
