The exhibition, The Flying Colors, presented more than 60 pieces of Chinese ink paintings by a local artist, Arthur Ku, at San Francisco City Hall recently. “Arthur Ku is a well-known painter, calligrapher, and artist; his endless devotion to the art community has undoubtedly contributed to the vitality (活力) of San Francisco，” the mayor said in the announcement. Ku was born in Guangdong Province in 1941 and settled down in the United States in 1977.He has been exploring the “splash ink and color” style, which is a technique of working with splashy, colorful washes to create an abstract, expressive style.Ku's artistic talent in traditional Chinese brush and ink painting inspired a unique style of down-to-earth and creative freedom, which created a critical attempt of traditional Chinese brush painting into modern and contemporary art, according to mayor's statement. Ku is also keen to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the US to improve art and friendship.He has successfully held several joint painting exhibitions in the US for artists from China. “I think inclusiveness brings unity and diversity brings vitality.We are now living in the most challenging times.So, I think it's important for us to embrace more inclusiveness and diversity, to have more cultural dialogue, so that we can communicate better and respect each other more，” said Arthur Ku.

Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth's workshops.In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members' research projects.“It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem，” Mazon says.She plans to continue writing.“We do a disservice (伤害) to ourselves to think that scientists can't be artistic and that art can't be used to communicate scientific ideas，” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides.“Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts，” he says.Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees.Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others.The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think.We're all just people with, hopefully, really interesting things to say and to share. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家和诗人之间的联系。文章提到了一些名人，以表明诗歌和科学并不总是被认为是互相排斥的职业道路。 5．What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1? A．To display they were talented. B．To confirm they were out of favor. C．To encourage different career paths. D．To show poetry and science can be combined. 答案：D 6 7 5 8 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets.The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon.Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s.But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.”可知，原文中提到了传统观念中的诗人和科学家不同，但也提到了历史上有一些科学家也具有诗人才华。提到这些历史人物的目的是表明诗歌和科学是可以相结合的。 6 7 5 8 6．What are Illingworth's workshops aimed at doing? A．Promoting a new science-poetry journal. B．Inspiring outsiders to pursue their careers in science. C．Encouraging science communication through poems. D．Getting scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research. 答案：C 6 7 5 8 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.”可知，Illingworth的研讨会旨在鼓励通过诗歌进行科学交流。 6 7 5 8 7．What does Illingworth think of the dominant ways of science communication? A．Conventional.　　　　 B．Effective. C．Innovative. D．Complex. 答案：A 6 7 5 8 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides.”可知，Illingworth认为，科学交流倡议往往被公开讲座的幻灯片所主导，这是一种老套的方式。 6 7 5 8 8．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
