In their spare time, Nikhil likes to draw maps, showing his love for order. Jay is more interested in playing with toys and copying the actions of superheroes, full of energy.
In each episode, Nikhil and Jay try out a new activity, such as camping and butterfly watching, with lots of laughs along the way. “The books did have some comedy in them, but we wanted this to be a comedy from the start,” says Soundar.
Sai Ganesh Nadesan, who voices Jay, says that his character is “always up to play tricks on his brother”. He also thinks viewers will enjoy seeing “all the different foods, music and festivals”.

When Jan walks into the kitchen with a package, her mum is sitting at the table, reading a book and drinking tea. Jan goes to the fridge and looks inside for a drink.
“Don’t eat anything,” mum says. “Dinner’s in 20 minutes.”
Jan doesn’t answer. She takes a glass from the cupboard and pours the apple juice into the glass.
“Mum?”
Mum doesn’t look up from her book. It’s always the same. When she starts reading a book, she can’t stop until she reaches the end.
“Can you give me something for my time capsule (胶囊)?”
Mum looks up from her book. Suddenly she’s interested.
“Your what?”
“My time capsule. It’s for a school project.”
“What’s a time capsule?
Jan can’t believe her mum doesn’t know what a time capsule is.
“You put things inside it and then you bury (埋) it in the garden for someone to find in the future. That’s why it’s called a time capsule. It’s like sending a little message to the future, letting them look into our lives today.”
Mum puts down her book. She drinks some more tea and looks across at Jan.
“What do you put inside?”
“Things. Personal things... a letter... things related to now... this year... a diary or a newspaper, for example,” Jan looks at the apple juice. “Or a bottle of apple juice. When the person finds the time capsule in the future they can discover things about the past and they can find out about… me.”
“And you want me to give you something to put inside the time capsule?” Jan makes a face. It’s the face Jan makes to say mum doesn’t understand. Mum never understands.
“No, mum. You don’t understand. I want something to put the things into. I need a container.”
“What kind of thing?”
“I don’t know. A box? I need something strong to protect the things inside.”
Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin. “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside.
Jan looks at the tin. With a smile, she carefully places her chosen items inside.
“Thanks, mum,” Jan says, “This will be perfect. I can’t wait to see what people will think when they find it.”

It’s like sending a little message to the future, letting them look into our lives today.”,“She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin.”和“With a smile, she carefully places her chosen items inside.”可知,先是珍妮在厨房要苹果汁喝,接着她向妈妈解释如何制作时间胶囊,然后妈妈为她找一个合适的容器,最后珍妮小心地把东西放进饼干罐。所以正确顺序是②④③①。故选D。

Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)?
Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665.
① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.
② It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity (身份) and consciousness (意识).
③ How did that happen? By study, people may experience something called a “sustained attentional loop” when they watched a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “it really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
26. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To explain different ways to study a painting.
B. To check people’s interest in museum paintings.
C. To find differences between a painting and its photo.
D. To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos.
27. We can put the following sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” in ______.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
28. How does the writer introduce the “sustained attentional loop”?
A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story.
C. By listing numbers. D. By offering advice.
29. Why was Mona Lisa mentioned at the end of the passage?
A. To introduce a world-famous art work. B. To explain the plan for further research.
C. To show the researchers’love for it. D. To prove its influence on people’s brain.
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Power of Real Works of Art B. Lessons from Real Works of Art
C. The Way to Enjoy Real Works of Art D. A Visit to Real Works of Art
【答案】26. D 27. C 28. A 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述研究人员通过实验,对比人们对艺术作品真迹和照片的反应,发现观看真迹能让人产生更强烈的情绪反应,凸显了真实艺术品的力量。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.” 可知,研究借助设备观察人们分别对真迹和照片的反应,所以研究目的是观察人们对真实艺术品及其照片的反应。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。①处介绍研究设备与流程,未涉及对特定画作反应,排除A选项;②处强调看真迹情绪反应普遍强烈,插入句突出特定画作反应,与②处语境衔接不紧,排除B选项;④处围绕研究结果意义和后续计划,与插入句关联性不大,排除D选项。③处开始探讨人们对画作产生强烈反应的原因,插入句“研究团队还发现,这组人对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》反应更强烈” 能很好地引出后文以《戴珍珠耳环的少女》为例的阐述,使上下文逻辑更连贯,所以插入句适合放在③处。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop.” 可知,作者以志愿者看《戴珍珠耳环的少女》时注意力移动顺序为例,介绍 “持续注意力循环”。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.”可知,研究人员想拓宽研究,计划对《蒙娜丽莎》等作品做实验,提及它是为了解释进一步的研究计划。故选B。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions” ,后文围绕此论述人们对真迹和照片的不同反应,突出真实艺术品能带来更强烈情绪,强调了真实艺术品的力量,所以A选项“真实艺术品的力量”最能概括文章主旨。故选A。

Dear Tim,
I’m so glad to receive your email. In reply to your questions, here are my answers.
I enjoy seeing films most in my free time. For me, films are like magical doors that can transport me to different lives. What’s more, many characters in films can help light up my path of growth.
As you know, I am not confident in my body shape. So I was moved to tears when I watched the film YOLO the other day.

Now I am not only a film lover but also a fan of sport.
I hope what I said will be helpful to you.

A new BBC cartoon series called Nikhil and Jay takes you into the life of a family. The main characters are brothers—seven-year-old Nikhil and five-year-old Jay. Their dad is from the north of England and their mum is from the south of India. She speaks Tamil and the children use the Tamil words Amma (mum) and Appa (dad) when talking to their parents.
The show is based on Chitra Soundar's book, and she also wrote many of the scripts. She says that Nikhil and Jay deal with situations in very different ways. Nikhil likes to plan and wants to figure out how to do something before diving in, while Jay “has already imagined how amazing it’s going to be and then he’s jumped into it already”.

When Jan walks into the kitchen with a package, her mum is sitting at the table, reading a book and drinking tea. Jan goes to the fridge and looks inside for a drink.
“Don’t eat anything,” mum says. “Dinner’s in 20 minutes.”
Jan doesn’t answer. She takes a glass from the cupboard and pours the apple juice into the glass.
“Mum?”
Mum doesn’t look up from her book. It’s always the same. When she starts reading a book, she can’t stop until she reaches the end.
“Can you give me something for my time capsule (胶囊)?”
Mum looks up from her book Suddenly she’s interested.
“Your what?”
“My time capsule. It’s for a school project.”
“What’s a time capsule?

“You put things inside it and then you bury (埋) it in the garden for someone to find in the future. That’s why it’s called a time capsule. It’s like sending a little message to the future, letting them look into our lives today.”

“What do you put inside?”
“Things. Personal things... a letter... things related to now... this year... a diary or a newspaper, for example,” Jan looks at the apple juice. “Or a bottle of apple juice. When the person finds the time capsule in the future they can discover things about the past and they can find out about… me.”
“And you want me to give you something to put inside the time capsule?” Jan makes a face. It’s the face Jan makes to say mum doesn’t understand. Mum never understands.
“No, mum. You don’t understand. I want something to put the things into. I need a container.”
“What kind of thing?”
“I don’t know. A box? I need something strong to protect the things inside.”
Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin. “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside.
Jan looks at the tin. With a smile, she carefully places her chosen items inside.

Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)?
Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665.
① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.
② It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity (身份) and consciousness (意识).
③ How did that happen? By study, people may experience something called a “sustained attentional loop” when they watched a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “it really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
26. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To explain different ways to study a painting.
B. To check people’s interest in museum paintings.
C. To find differences between a painting and its photo.
D. To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos.
27. We can put the following sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” in ______.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
28. How does the writer introduce the “sustained attentional loop”?
A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story.
C. By listing numbers. D. By offering advice.
29. Why was Mona Lisa mentioned at the end of the passage?
A. To introduce a world-famous art work. B. To explain the plan for further research.
C. To show the researchers’love for it. D. To prove its influence on people’s brain.
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Power of Real Works of Art B. Lessons from Real Works of Art
C. The Way to Enjoy Real Works of Art D. A Visit to Real Works of Art
