B People who visit Yao Huifen’s workshop often mistake her embroidery (刺绣) for paintings or photographs. It is easy to see why. Yao’s works look so realistic, like oil paintings, Chinese ink wash paintings or photographs. Many of her works have been bought by domestic and foreign museums. The inheritor of embroidery in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, was born into a family with a long history in the art. Her grandparents and parents worked in the industry. She started to learn from her grandmother and mother when she was little. Influenced by her father, she always loved to read books about art and aesthetics (美学). She attended lectures on philosophy and art innovation when she was growing up. “You might not use the knowledge in the beginning, but what you read and what you experienced will eventually reflect in your works,” says Yao. For more than 10 years, she learned embroidery from masters of Suzhou embroidery and gradually became famous for her own skill. Elected as a promoter and ambassador of Suzhou embroidery, she has been to many countries for cultural communication, including the United States, France and Italy. Like many cultural heritage items, Suzhou embroidery faces the problem of finding young people to pass the craft on to. The huge input of time and energy required to learn embroidery, Yao admits, has scared away many young people. However, she takes it as her responsibility to attract and train enough inheritors. She cooperated with colleges in Suzhou to open an embroidery course and teach the students for free. Yao has been teaching embroidery lovers at her workshop for many years. Some of her students have set up their own workshops and started to teach others themselves. “Traditional handicrafts need to conform (顺应) to the current aesthetics and cannot linger on the standards of old times. Embroidery techniques should also be improved continuously.” Yao suggests that embroiderers should open up new horizons instead of working in workshops all day long. She visits art exhibitions and museums at every opportunity when she goes to big cities. 24. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To compare embroidery with photos. B. To list some mistaken views of embroidery. C. To highlight Yao Huifen’s extraordinary skill. D. To clarify the differences between embroidery and paintings. 25. According to Yao, why are young people unwilling to learn embroidery? A. They find it effort-consuming. B. They lack interest in it. C. They consider it less profitable. D. They have a different taste for beauty. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Yao Huifen? A. Persistent and modest. B. Devoted and disciplined. C. Determined and ambitious. D. Responsible and selfless. 27. What can we infer from the text? A. Yao Huifen prefers working in big cities. B. Embroidery is gradually regaining its fame. C. Yao Huifen has a talent in teaching embroidery. D. Yao Huifen is struggling to inherit Suzhou embroidery. C “Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That’s the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (戒瘾) cafe who are paying for the privilege of leaving their phones at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis (乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital busyness of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments hammered out 280 characters at a time. With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to swap recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. “People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe it didn’t exist already,” says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.” Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don’t just pay to get rid of their phones-they’re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite an isolated world where we’re more connected online, but in the physical world, it’s hard to meet people.” He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?” 28. What can we know about the Dutch digital detox cafe? A. It is the first cafe in Amsterdam. B. Interaction among people is advocated. C. Only black smartphones are allowed there. D. Customers have to type 280 characters nonstop. 29. How did the cafe become more and more popular? A. By media’s advertising. B. By netizens’ commenting online. C. By employees’ handing out leaflets. D. By customers’ word-of-mouth promoting. 30. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the effect of the cafe. B. To explain the cause of her anxiety. C. To stress the seriousness of her situation. D. To introduce the problem of modern people. 31. What is Georgina Sturmer’s attitude towards the cafe? A. Ambiguous. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. D Do you ever find yourself repeating a specific word in your head over and over until the word suddenly makes no sense to you and you wonder why it’s a word at all? This is just one of the many odd things our brains do to us, and it’s a pretty funny experience when it happens. This phenomenon is known as semantic satiation (语义饱和) and it causes us to perceive a real word as meaningless sounds. Sometimes that loss of meaning can be a pain, sometimes it can be useful, and sometimes, it can even be unforgettably beautiful. Semantic satiation occurs when a word is repeated over and over again until the word begins to lose its meaning to the listener. The term was first coined in 1962, but research surrounding the phenomenon dates from the early 20th century. There are multiple theories as to why semantic satiation occurs. One is that the repeated use of a neural pathway associated with a word impacts response times, leading to the loss of meaning. Another theory is that tiredness causes the connection between word and meaning to get disordered. More recently, researchers have used neural networking simulations (模拟) to try to identify why the phenomenon happens and another set of researchers have found that semantic satiation delays facial expression processing. In other words, there isn’t an agreement as to why semantic satiation happens. Studies looking at semantic satiation have typically involved the repetition of a word up to 30 times, with semantic satiation, in some cases, appearing after seven to nine repetitions. Some words used during these studies have been as short as four letters, but others have been much longer. Sometimes, losing the meaning of a word can actually be helpful. Judy Ravin of Accents International uses semantic satiation to help English language learners focus more on how your muscles need to move in order to make the sounds required, rather than the meaning of a particular word. “A word in itself doesn’t actually have meaning. A word is a symbol for something, so, when we can move away from the meaning and just think about sound production, the physiology, it’s helpful.” 32. What can we learn from semantic satiation? A. It has its origin from money. B. It is most likely to be painful. C. It arises as a word is repeated enough times. D. It’s one of the few tricks our brain plays on us. 33. What does the word “coined” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Created. B. Saved. C. Earned. D. Collected. 34. How does Judy Ravin help English learners? A. By strengthening muscles physically. B. By emphasizing learning words basically. C. By combining the meaning and sound organically. D. By concentrating on pronouncing words physiologically. 35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Who are suffering from semantic satiation. B. What kind of semantic satiation is beneficial. C. Why semantic satiation makes a word meaningless. D. How semantic satiation influences our facial expression. 第3页/共3页 科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$阅读理解A The U. S.
