Middle East's Dark Sky Hubs

Sara Sami vividly recalls the first time she truly saw the stars.The 38-year-old photographer and  travel  guide(1)                  (search)for  a  spot  in  Saudi Arabia—a massive cliff overlooking  a vast  desert  —when  she  unexpectedly  found  herself under  an  amazing  night  sky.“There  was  a blanket  of stars right  above me,"Sami reminisces."I(2)                  see thousands of them stretching endlessly.It was a breathtaking sight.”

Ever  since  that  night,Saudi   Arabia  has  become  her  top   stargazing   destination.Sami  has traveled numerous times from her home in Bahrain,a small island nation (3)                  (connect)to   Saudi  Arabia  by  a   15-mile  causeway.She  seeks  out  places  with  undisturbed  darkness,far  from  towns  and  cities,(4)                  she can see the Milky Way.It was literally in the middle of a desert:  there was  an  abandoned  village  with  broken houses.(5).                  the atmosphere was frightening and filled with an unsettling stillness,the sky was stunningly beautiful.

In  November  last  year,another  nature  reserve,near  the  ancicnt  oasis  city  of  AlUla,(6)   (name)the  first-ever  Dark  Sky  Park  in  the  Middle  East.Saudi  Arabia  joined  21  other countries on its list of certified Dark Sky Places,with the US and New Zealand(7).                 (top) the list.

“Part of the 2,334 square kilometer reserve's commitment to the preservation of the night sky involves  careful  lighting  design,such  as  ensuring   (8)                   ,if  possible,lights   are   equipped with  shades  to minimize  light pollution.Specifically,these  shades  are  designed  to  direct  the  light down(9)                      .          up."The   local   observatory   is   currently   developing   an   outdoor

lighting guide for new and existing developments within AlUla County.This guide will enable  residents and visitors to see the night sky above AlUla in all its natural beauty for years (10)                 (come).This ongoing effort reflects a broader commitment to preserving the night sky for

future     generations.

Masterpiece:One Thousand Liof Rivers and Mountains

Wang Ximeng(1096-1119)was a famous but short-lived painter.Tragically,only one of his  works     11       One  Thousand Li  of Rivers and Mountains.which is cherished as a rare and precious masterpiece in the art world.

This masterpiece measures 51.5 cm high by  11.92 m long,created in simple black ink and  ground pigment(颜料)on a long silk scroll.Despite its material simplicity,the painting's       12       is     remarkably       complex.It     unfolds       like      a      panoramic( 全 景 式 的 )story    of     a     Southern     Chinese  landscape,presented with a(n)       13        that hints at Wang's deep roots in the region.

The landscape is divided into six mountain sections separated by water,         14        linked by bridges.Houses,trees,and figures dot the mountains,shown from various viewpoints.This shifing                 15      enables viewers,as they unroll the  scroll  from right to left,to experience a continuous, immersive narrative of daily activities.It creates a dynamic visual flow,much like watching scenery  pass by through a train window.

The painting's perfection is enhanced by its        16        striking blue-green landscape,or qinglü shanshui,a technique that flourished during the Northen Song Dynasty.Brilliant blue        17       the mountains'peaks,bold green covers the mountains'valleys,and pale brown implies the mountains' bases.This radiant arrangement emphasizes color over line,skillfully using light,shade,and texture to    create    depth    and    atmosphere.

This painting         18        with the viewer in a way rarely found in Western paintings.Due to its vast scale but        19        details,it requires multiple viewings at different distances.The first viewing is at a far distance to observe its sweeping grandeur.The second viewing is at a close distance to

observe its refined features.The third viewing is at a mid-distance to observe its overall impact.  This layered viewing experience deepens the engagement with the artwork,making the paintings  feel completely alive.It offers a profound and subtle exploration of the visible world through its                 20    -size,rich  colors,and  expressive  details,emitting  qi  or  energy  that  enlivens  the  viewer. Ultimately,this masterpiece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty,discovering new   horizons with each encounter.

 

[1.Reading  Comprehension  (45分)

Section      A(15分 )

Directions:For   each    blank   in    the  following   passage   there    are   four   words    or   phrases   marked   A,B, Cand  D.Fill  in  each  blank  with  the  word  or  phrase   that   best  fits   the   context.

 

The ocean twilight zone,also known as the mid water,is a global layer of water stretching from 200 to 1,000 meters below the ocean surface.This dimly lit region,just beyond the reach of sunlight,is  cold  and  under  high  pressure,yet  it            21            a host  of marine  species.Recent studies suggest that its fish biomass may be ten times greater than previously estimated,making it one of the most             22            ecosystems  on  Earth.

The twilight zone is home to a wide variety of organisms.Many of these creatures exhibit  unique           23            to  survive in this dark,high-pressure  environment.Onc fascinating example is counter-illumination(反照明),where small fish generate light from their undersides to match the surface light above,making them nearly            24           to big fish below.

One of the most remarkable phenomena in the twilight zone is the daily vertical(垂直的；纵向 的)       25              of     its      inhabitants.Every     night,countless      fish,squid,and     plankton      swim     to      the  surface to feed under the cover of darkness.At dawn,they return to the           26          ,safer  waters. This daily migration is the largest regular animal movement on the planet,occurring every 24 hours  across   the   world's   oceans.

The twilight zone provides food for larger predators like whales and sharks,which are valuable  for           27            reasons.Additionally,the  twilight  zone   acts  as  a  critical  part  of  the   ocean's "biological     pump".It     helps     transfer     carbon      dioxide     from     surface     waters      to     the     deep     ocean, preventing it from             28            to the  atmosphere  as  a greenhouse gas.This process is vital for reducing    climate    change.

Despite    its     ecological     importance,the    twilight     zone    remains     largely     unexplored.

   29           ,commercial    fishing   interests    are   already   targeting   this   region.Countries    like

application of device directly.

A  brain-computer  interface(BCI)functions  through  a  series  of  interconnected   steps.Initially,a specialized device captures the brain's electrical activity,providing raw data that reflects the user's intentions.This data is then sent to a computer,which processes and analyzes the signals to decode the  user's   desired   actions.Finally,the   interpreted   information   controls   an   extemal   application   or device,allowing    the    user    to    interact    smoothly.This     integration    of   measurement,analysis,and control  forms  the  backbone  of  BCI  technology.

Another important step of a BCI is feedback:the system must somehow let the user know what decision or intended action the computer was abie to interpret.In our previous example,the lamp successfully turning on indicates to the user that the BCI successfully identified the action the user wanted.Providing feedback helps the user adapt to the BCI system,learning how they can control and adjust their brain activity,just as we can learn to coordinate and control our muscles and bodies.

② Process

Brain activity is processed

using a computer to identify

the user's desired action.

① Record

Brain activity is recorded  using a headset/cap with speclal sensors.

 

Feedback is provided to the user to indicate their action was successful.

③ Control

A signal is sent to the   application to carry out the desired command.
