In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises（危机）. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, settling me in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings（流露）, but through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it bossy and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the delicious equivalent（等效） of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms（微生物） in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wisdom and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
24. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning?
A. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
B. To compare the difference in two cultures.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness.
25. What did the author think of “aunt” Li’s way of expressing love at first?
A. Demanding and cruel. B. Impolite and bitter.
C. Brave and direct. D. Abrupt and simple.
26. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea?
A. By making comparison. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By offering more examples. D. By classifying cooking methods.
27. What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A. Every region has its own specialty. B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it-literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colors and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labeled (定义) as “artists”, but not “technicians”. This means that art and technology, have always been seen as two very separate (不同的) things.
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five meters of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three-dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
However, where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To explain the art. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give the background. D. To give a definition.
29. Why is “Michelangelo” referred to in the third paragraph?
A. To show he is a famous artist. B. To show he is also a technician.
C. To show art is different from technology. D. To show art is the same as technology.
30. What’s mainly talked about in the passage?
A. The history of technology and art. B. The relation of technology and art.
C. The future of technology and art. D. The examples of technology and art.
31. What can we know about the author’s attitude to the combination of art and technology ?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful D. Uncertain
D
The human tendency to gravitate towards people that are similar to them starts early. In school-age children, the behavior called homophily, or “love of the same” often has to do with how others dress or act. Adults tend to form groups based on professions or personalities. However, forming cliques (小集团) and shutting out those that are “different” is not just a human characteristic. South Africa’ s Cape baboons (大狒狒) show similar tendencies too.
A team of researchers followed the same two troops of baboons for several months. What they noticed was that like humans, baboons rarely left their original groups. To prove if their observations were correct, the researchers conducted an experiment.
They began by placing some foods that the baboons had never seen before on the edge of paths the animals frequently crossed. The researchers recorded the time it took a baboon to get close enough to examine the new foods and the time for ones that had the courage to taste them. Sure enough, the most curious and daring baboons all belonged to the same group. What surprised the scientists was that the monkeys with similar personalities hung out together, regardless of whether they were male or female.
The researchers say this behavior is not a good sign for the animals, because the daring and curious baboons are also good problem solvers. The scientists are afraid that if the baboons share new problem-solving skills with only their group, it leaves the rest of the species vulnerable (易受伤害的) to any environmental changes or enemies.
Unfortunately, baboons aren’t the only animals that form cliques. In another study, the scientists divided 80 fish into two groups. After about three weeks, the fish were re-arranged into smaller groups of ten. The researchers observed that many of the fish that had spent time together in the original two groups seemed to seek each other out. What was even more interesting is that once they re-grouped, they were able to find the hidden food much faster. This led the researchers to think that like humans, the fish tended to share their secrets with their best “friend”.
32. What can be used to replace the underlined word “gravitate” in paragraph 1?
