When she was young, she 4 to read widely from the home library, which contained books on many different subjects. This early encouragement helped build 5 strong interest in astronomy. Unlike many people, she refused 6 unscientific ideas about events like lunar eclipses (月食). “I must see the truth 7 my own eyes,” she told herself. She kept this thought in mind 8 while doing her experiments late into the evening. Her way of working was serious and 9 , always step by step. To find out how a lunar eclipse happens, she placed simple objects in her room, creating a small model of the solar system. She moved a round table, a lamp, and a mirror slowly 10 the movements of the Earth, Sun, and Moon, demonstrating the cause of the eclipse. Through this simple but clever model, she explained 11 sunlight is shaded during this event, making a complex idea easy to understand. Her important 12 to science was realized mainly through writing. She 13 many clear and helpful articles. Even ordinary people could understand difficult ideas without needing special training. Her life was short, 14 her brave mind and clear thinking left a lasting mark on Chinese science. Today, her story continues to teach us that we 15 overcome problems and achieve great things through curiosity, hard work, and a belief in ourselves. 1．A．unless B．because C．after D．until 2．A．much B．little C．few D．many 3．A．she B．her C．hers D．herself 4．A．allowed B．was allowed C．have allowed D．will allow 5．A．a B．an C．the D．/ 6．A．believe B．believing C．to believe D．believed 7．A．through B．by C．in D．with 8．A．quiet B．quieten C．quietly D．quietness 9．A．patient B．patiently C．more patient D．more patiently 10．A．copy B．to copy C．copying D．copied 11．A．how B．when C．what D．where 12．A．contribute B．contributes C．contributed D．contribution 13．A．write B．writes C．wrote D．will write 14．A．and B．but C．so D．or 15．A．can B．must C．should D．would 【答案】 1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．D 8．C 9．A 10．B 11．A 12．D 13．C 14．B 15．A 【导语】本文介绍了清代女科学家王贞仪，在古代女子求学机会稀少的环境下，依靠家人支持自学，潜心钻研天文、通过自制模型探究月食原理、撰文科普知识，用一生证明好奇心与坚持能突破困境、成就不凡。 【详解】1．句意：或许在央视节目介绍她之前，我们大多数人都不知道这个伟大的名字。 固定结构not…until…：直到……才……，此处表示知道央视节目介绍，大家才知道这个伟大的名字，用until。unless除非；because因为；after在……之后，均不符合句意逻辑。 2．句意：她生活在清朝，那时女孩子受教育的机会非常少。 chances是可数名词复数，few修饰可数名词表否定“少、几乎没有”；little修饰不可数名词；much/many表大量，和历史背景“古代女子难读书”矛盾。 3．句意：然而，在她家人的大力支持下，她开启了自学的独特历程……。 空后有名词family，需要形容词性物主代词her作定语；she主格、hers名词性物主代词、herself反身代词都不能修饰名词。 4．句意：年少时，她被允许在家中的藏书室广泛阅读……。 主语she和allow是被动关系“被准许”，全文过去时态，一般过去时被动语态was allowed；A主动过去式、C现在完成时主动、D将来时主动，均语态错误。 5．句意：这份早年的熏陶帮她培养出了浓厚的天文学兴趣。 固定搭配build an interest“产生兴趣”，strong辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a；an用于元音开头单词，the特指，零冠词不适用。 6．句意：和很多人不同，她拒绝相信月食相关的不科学说法。 固定搭配refuse to do sth.拒绝做某事，不定式作宾语，用to believe。 7．句意：我必须亲眼看清真相。 固定搭配with one’s own eyes亲眼；through穿过；by凭借；in在里面，无此搭配。 8．句意：她深夜做实验时，一直默默秉持这个想法。 空格修饰动词短语“kept this thought in mind”，需副词quietly；quiet形容词、quieten动词、quietness名词词性不符。 9．句意：她治学严谨且有耐心，做事循序渐进。 and连接并列形容词，和serious并列用原级形容词patient。 10．句意：她缓慢挪动圆桌、台灯和镜子来模拟日月地的运行。 不定式to copy作目的状语，表挪动物品的目的。 11．句意：借助这个精巧简易的模型，她解释了月食时太阳光如何被遮挡……。 此处指解释月食时太阳光如何被遮挡，宾语从句缺方式状语“如何、怎样”用how；when何时、what什么、where何地和“光线被遮挡的方式”语义不符。 12．句意：她对科学的重要贡献主要体现在著作上。 空前important形容词修饰名词，contribution名词“贡献”。 13．句意：她撰写了许多清晰有用的文章。 全文讲述过去的生平，一般过去时，write过去式wrote。 14．句意：她的一生很短暂，但她果敢的思想与缜密的思考在中国科学史上留下深远影响。 前后分句转折关系：生命短，但成就深远，用but；and并列、so因果、or选择，均逻辑错误。 15．句意：如今她的故事告诉我们：凭借好奇心、实干与自信，我们能够克服困难、创造伟大的成就。 此处表示能力，can“能够”符合；must必须；should应该；would将会，不符合语境。 二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Under a big tree, a few boys were arguing about whose handwriting was the best.

You talk happily without paying attention to others’ conversations. That’s because selective (选择性的) attention is helping you. Selective attention is an amazing ability in our brain. It allows people to choose and focus on (专注于) something in the environment. At the same time, it can filter out (过滤) unnecessary information, so people can focus on one conversation in a crowded place. But how does selective attention work? Researchers from Columbia University did an experiment to study it. The result shows that the brain is selective about the sounds it hears. When a person listens to someone talking, their brain waves (波) change to pick out the features of the speaker’s voice and filter out other voices. To further understand how selective attention works, the researchers studied two parts of the brain’s listening centre: Heschl’s gyrus (HG) and the superior temporal gyrus (STG) . Information from the ears reaches HG first, passes through it and arrives at STG later. In the study, they found the following facts: in HG area, every voice is treated the same way. That is to say, HG doesn’t prefer one voice or another. But in STG area, it’s possible to choose one speaker’s voice and make it louder. The whole process (过程) only takes 150 milliseconds and it happens immediately to a listener. As a result, people can focus on one voice when there are many other conversations around. “Today’s study is quite important. We want to better understand how the brain helps us to hear so well, as well as create technologies that help people,” said Dr. Mesgarani, the leader of the researchers. With the help of the finding, speech recognition technologies have been improved. The researchers have already developed, a new kind of hearing aid that can help collect information more correctly. It could make one speaker’s voice louder over another. They also plan to study more about HG and STG activity, in situations that have more speakers. 29．What can selective attention help people do according to the passage? A．Choose where to talk. B．Hear more in a conversation C．Forget unnecessary information. D．Focus on one voice in a noisy place. 30．What will the researchers most probably study in the future? A．How to improve listening B．How the listening centre works. C．How to make a better hearing aid. D．How HG and STG protect each other. 31．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A Great Ability in Brain B．A New Study on Technologies C．A Key to Reducing Noise D．A Way to Make Conversation 【答案】29．D 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文介绍了大脑中的选择性注意力这一神奇能力，解释了它的作用、工作原理，以及相关研究和应用前景。 【详解】29．根据第二段“At the same time, it can filter out unnecessary information, so people can focus on one conversation in a crowded place.”可知，选择性注意力能帮助人们在嘈杂环境中过滤无关信息，专注于某一个声音。 30．根据最后一段“They also plan to study more about HG and STG activity, in situations that have more speakers.”可知，研究人员未来计划进一步研究HG和STG在多说话者场景中的活动，也就是听力中枢的工作机制。 31．全文围绕大脑中的“选择性注意力”这一能力展开，介绍其定义、原理、研究及应用，因此最佳标题为“A Great Ability in Brain”。 C When 14-year-old Emily Brown from London first arrived in Lianyungang as an exchange student, she felt completely lost. “The food was so different, the language sounded like music I couldn’t understand, and I missed my mom’s cooking terribly,” she recalls. Like many exchange students, she experienced what scientists call “culture shock”—a feeling of confusion and anxiety when facing a new and unfamiliar environment. However, instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes with her host family. “The first time I tried to make dumplings, they looked more like little boats than proper dumplings,” she laughs. “But my host mother, Mrs. Wang, never laughed at me. She just smiled and showed me how to fold the dough again and again.” Gradually, Emily began to discover the beauty of Lianyungang. She visited the Huaguo Mountain, where she was fascinated by the stories of the Monkey King. She walked along the seaside, collecting colorful shells and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch. She even joined a local calligraphy club, where she learned to write Chinese characters with a brush. “The most important thing I’ve learned is that different doesn’t mean wrong,” Emily says. “In the UK, we usually finish all the food on our plates to show we enjoyed the meal. But in China, my host family often left a little food to show they were full and satisfied. At first, I was confused, but now I understand that both are just different ways of being polite.” Professor Zhang Wei, who studies cultural exchange at Lianyungang Normal University, says Emily’s experience is valuable. “What Emily did is exactly what we hope all young people can do—embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart. In today’s globalized world, this ability is more important than ever.” By the end of her six-month stay, Emily could make dumplings that looked almost as good as Mrs. Wang’s, and she gave a speech in Chinese at her school’s farewell party. “I came here as a stranger,” she said, “but I’m leaving as part of a family.” 32．How did Emily feel when she first arrived in Lianyungang? A．Excited and curious. B．Confused and anxious. C．Angry and disappointed. D．Tired and sleepy. 33．What did Emily do to deal with her difficulties? A．She stayed in her room most of the time. B．She called her mom for help every day. C．She actively learned about local culture. D．She asked to change to a different host family. 34．What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．refuse B．accept C．remember D．protect 35．What lesson can we learn from Emily’s story? A．East or west, home is best. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C．Different cultures can enrich our lives. D．Learning Chinese is too difficult. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文讲述一名14岁英国交换生初到连云港时感到文化冲击，但她勇敢面对差异，学习烹饪、游览景点、体验书法，最终融入当地生活，收获成长与家庭般的温暖。 【详解】32．第一段最后一句“...experienced what scientists call ‘culture shock’—a feeling of confusion and anxiety...”表明，Emily初到连云港时感到困惑和焦虑。 33．第二段“...instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes...”以及第三段提到的参观花果山、加入书法俱乐部等经历可知，她积极学习当地文化来应对困难。 34．第五段句子“...embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart...”以及全文Emily接受并适应新文化的主题可推断，此处划线单词意为“接受”。 35．全文讲述了Emily通过体验和理解不同文化，从感到迷失到融入家庭并获得成长的故事，教授也指出这种能力在全球化世界很重要。这说明不同的文化可以丰富我们的生活。 D Nobody wants to buy an expensive telescope and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is an app for that. Celestron is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSense Explorer app and dock (底座) have been designed to run on the StarSense Explorer telescopes. The free StarSense Explorer app (compatible with iOS and Android) uses information based on your exact location and time to tell you which stars or planets can be seen in the night sky (cloud-dependent, of course). Mount the phone into the StarSense Explorer dock attached to the telescope and choose your observation target (目标). A bracket (支架) will hold the phone over a mirror on the dock so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSense Explorer processes (处理) the information and your telescope will find your target. As well as locating your target StarSense Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe, or read the available data. The StarSense Explorer app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view. StarSense Explorer is the only astronomy app to use plate solving technology to find its target and it claims a typical pointing accuracy (目标指示精度) of as little as 0.25°. Used by professional observatories, and even orbiting satellites, plate solving is the process of extracting (提取) star pattern data in images and matching the star pattern within the image to its inside database (数据库) to work out a telescope’s pointing position. StarSense Explorer uses the smartphone’s camera as its “eye” and the phone’s processing power as its “brain”. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSense Explorer app is free and compatible with StarSense Explorer telescopes, starting from £189.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestron’s StarSense Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more about StarSense Explorer technology at www.celestron.com. Catch up with Celestron at the New Science Live show between 12-14 October to learn more about StarSense Explorer. You will find the research team at stand i34. 36．StarSense Explorer app do the following things for users except ________.

Many of them have a long history, and are believed to share similarities with modern sports. One sport that dates back to the Warring States period is Cuju. It was originally 46 (develop) for military training. By the Han Dynasty, it had become 47 (wide) welcomed and highly skillful. Even emperors at that time were Cuju fans, who not only liked watching Cuju games, but also practised their footwork on the playground. In Cuju games, two teams of six players competed to score goals by 48 (kick) a ball into the net—does that sound familiar? In 2004, FIFA recognized Cuju as the earliest form of soccer, which made Chinese people 49 (pride). During the Song Dynasty, the competitive goal-scoring style turned into a performance that focused on skills.

Tools that have risen sharply in popularity since late 2022 are changing the way people create content. AI can help jumpstart a person’s creativity by offering countless ideas, almost with a click of the mouse. Some writers, musicians, and other artists are experimenting with AI as a tool and seeing advantages. They may use it as a source of feedback (反馈) on their work. Visual artist Matt Saunders told the Harvard Gazette newspaper, “We should be thankful to be challenged and knocked out of our habits and comfort zones!” Kevin Baragona is the founder and chief executive officer of DeepAI in San Francisco, California. It’s one of several AI platforms that people can use to generate (生成) artworks or writing in many different styles. He says it is like a personal streaming platform that creates movies just for the user. “And the same thing with music,” he adds. “We’ll generate music just for you. It’s going to be pretty cool.” Not everyone is happy about AI’s introduction into artistic fields, though. Some artists and writers object to their work being used to train AI models without their permission. Some have argued that AI-generated content isn’t real art. When a human artist creates, they express their personal thoughts, experiences, and emotions. AI models cannot express those things because they are not self-aware, say AI experts. Anousha Syed is a Canadian AI trainer and illustrator. She told the Guardian, “AI doesn’t look at art and generate its own. It copies everyone’s, then turns it into something else.” Cuban-American musician and composer Yosvany Terry says, “When you hear those compositions by AI, they lack (缺乏) surprise, emotion, and even silence.” This has also led many people to question whether AI art can truly be considered “original” (独创的). If an AI-generated piece is heavily influenced by thousands of pre-existing works, who is the true author—the artist who programmed the AI, the machine itself, or the creators of the works the AI learned from? In the end, AI in art represents both an exciting area and a significant challenge for the art world. As people get used to AI and form guidelines for its use, we might become more welcoming about its place in art. Just stay up-to-date with the latest developments and rules, and remember that AI is a tool, not a replacement (替代) for human creativity.

Unlike many people, she refused 6 unscientific ideas about events like lunar eclipses (月食). “I must see the truth 7 my own eyes,” she told herself. She kept this thought in mind 8 while doing her experiments late into the evening. Her way of working was serious and 9 , always step by step. To find out how a lunar eclipse happens, she placed simple objects in her room, creating a small model of the solar system. She moved a round table, a lamp, and a mirror slowly 10 the movements of the Earth, Sun, and Moon, demonstrating the cause of the eclipse. Through this simple but clever model, she explained 11 sunlight is shaded during this event, making a complex idea easy to understand. Her important 12 to science was realized mainly through writing. She 13 many clear and helpful articles. Even ordinary people could understand difficult ideas without needing special training.

Our company is organizing an exciting activity. We’ll have a future trip to the Chinese Space Station for students. Time: from June 15 to June 17, 2035 Purpose: to help students learn about space and inspire (激励) them to love science Requirements: To join this trip, students must meet some conditions. They should be between 13 and 15 years old. They need to have good grades in science and be in good health. Also, they must write a short letter about why they want to go to space. Rules: ◆Always listen to the guides ◆ Wear special space suits ◆Don’t touch anything without permission (允许) Fun Activities: ★ Visit different parts of the space station ★ Learn how astronauts live and work in space ★See how astronauts eat, sleep, and exercise ★ Try some space food For more information, please visit our website www.spacechina.co.com. Let’s get ready for an adventure in space! Don’t miss this chance! 26．Who is this trip for? A．Students. B．Teachers. C．Parents. D．Astronauts. 27．How long will the trip last? A．One day. B．Two days. C．Three days. D．Four days. 28．Where can we read the passage? A．In a science book. B．On a travel website. C．In a math newspaper. D．On a TV program. B In a noisy restaurant, you can still hear your friend’s voice clearly. You talk happily without paying attention to others’ conversations. That’s because selective (选择性的) attention is helping you. Selective attention is an amazing ability in our brain. It allows people to choose and focus on (专注于) something in the environment. At the same time, it can filter out (过滤) unnecessary information, so people can focus on one conversation in a crowded place. But how does selective attention work? Researchers from Columbia University did an experiment to study it. The result shows that the brain is selective about the sounds it hears. When a person listens to someone talking, their brain waves (波) change to pick out the features of the speaker’s voice and filter out other voices. To further understand how selective attention works, the researchers studied two parts of the brain’s listening centre: Heschl’s gyrus (HG) and the superior temporal gyrus (STG) . Information from the ears reaches HG first, passes through it and arrives at STG later. In the study, they found the following facts: in HG area, every voice is treated the same way. That is to say, HG doesn’t prefer one voice or another. But in STG area, it’s possible to choose one speaker’s voice and make it louder. The whole process (过程) only takes 150 milliseconds and it happens immediately to a listener. As a result, people can focus on one voice when there are many other conversations around. “Today’s study is quite important. We want to better understand how the brain helps us to hear so well, as well as create technologies that help people,” said Dr. Mesgarani, the leader of the researchers. With the help of the finding, speech recognition technologies have been improved. The researchers have already developed, a new kind of hearing aid that can help collect information more correctly. It could make one speaker’s voice louder over another. They also plan to study more about HG and STG activity, in situations that have more speakers. 29．What can selective attention help people do according to the passage? A．Choose where to talk. B．Hear more in a conversation C．Forget unnecessary information. D．Focus on one voice in a noisy place. 30．What will the researchers most probably study in the future? A．How to improve listening B．How the listening centre works. C．How to make a better hearing aid. D．How HG and STG protect each other. 31．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A Great Ability in Brain B．A New Study on Technologies C．A Key to Reducing Noise D．A Way to Make Conversation C When 14-year-old Emily Brown from London first arrived in Lianyungang as an exchange student, she felt completely lost. “The food was so different, the language sounded like music I couldn’t understand, and I missed my mom’s cooking terribly,” she recalls. Like many exchange students, she experienced what scientists call “culture shock”—a feeling of confusion and anxiety when facing a new and unfamiliar environment. However, instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes with her host family. “The first time I tried to make dumplings, they looked more like little boats than proper dumplings,” she laughs. “But my host mother, Mrs. Wang, never laughed at me. She just smiled and showed me how to fold the dough again and again.” Gradually, Emily began to discover the beauty of Lianyungang. She visited the Huaguo Mountain, where she was fascinated by the stories of the Monkey King. She walked along the seaside, collecting colorful shells and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch. She even joined a local calligraphy club, where she learned to write Chinese characters with a brush. “The most important thing I’ve learned is that different doesn’t mean wrong,” Emily says. “In the UK, we usually finish all the food on our plates to show we enjoyed the meal. But in China, my host family often left a little food to show they were full and satisfied. At first, I was confused, but now I understand that both are just different ways of being polite.” Professor Zhang Wei, who studies cultural exchange at Lianyungang Normal University, says Emily’s experience is valuable. “What Emily did is exactly what we hope all young people can do—embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart. In today’s globalized world, this ability is more important than ever.” By the end of her six-month stay, Emily could make dumplings that looked almost as good as Mrs. Wang’s, and she gave a speech in Chinese at her school’s farewell party. “I came here as a stranger,” she said, “but I’m leaving as part of a family.” 32．How did Emily feel when she first arrived in Lianyungang? A．Excited and curious. B．Confused and anxious. C．Angry and disappointed. D．Tired and sleepy. 33．What did Emily do to deal with her difficulties? A．She stayed in her room most of the time. B．She called her mom for help every day. C．She actively learned about local culture. D．She asked to change to a different host family. 34．What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．refuse B．accept C．remember D．protect 35．What lesson can we learn from Emily’s story? A．East or west, home is best. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C．Different cultures can enrich our lives. D．Learning Chinese is too difficult. D Nobody wants to buy an expensive telescope and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is an app for that. Celestron is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSense Explorer app and dock (底座) have been designed to run on the StarSense Explorer telescopes. The free StarSense Explorer app (compatible with iOS and Android) uses information based on your exact location and time to tell you which stars or planets can be seen in the night sky (cloud-dependent, of course). Mount the phone into the StarSense Explorer dock attached to the telescope and choose your observation target (目标). A bracket (支架) will hold the phone over a mirror on the dock so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSense Explorer processes (处理) the information and your telescope will find your target. As well as locating your target StarSense Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe, or read the available data. The StarSense Explorer app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view. StarSense Explorer is the only astronomy app to use plate solving technology to find its target and it claims a typical pointing accuracy (目标指示精度) of as little as 0.25°. Used by professional observatories, and even orbiting satellites, plate solving is the process of extracting (提取) star pattern data in images and matching the star pattern within the image to its inside database (数据库) to work out a telescope’s pointing position. StarSense Explorer uses the smartphone’s camera as its “eye” and the phone’s processing power as its “brain”. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSense Explorer app is free and compatible with StarSense Explorer telescopes, starting from £189.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestron’s StarSense Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more about StarSense Explorer technology at www.celestron.com. Catch up with Celestron at the New Science Live show between 12-14 October to learn more about StarSense Explorer.

Tools that have risen sharply in popularity since late 2022 are changing the way people create content. AI can help jumpstart a person’s creativity by offering countless ideas, almost with a click of the mouse. Some writers, musicians, and other artists are experimenting with AI as a tool and seeing advantages. They may use it as a source of feedback (反馈) on their work. Visual artist Matt Saunders told the Harvard Gazette newspaper, “We should be thankful to be challenged and knocked out of our habits and comfort zones!” Kevin Baragona is the founder and chief executive officer of DeepAI in San Francisco, California. It’s one of several AI platforms that people can use to generate (生成) artworks or writing in many different styles. He says it is like a personal streaming platform that creates movies just for the user. “And the same thing with music,” he adds. “We’ll generate music just for you. It’s going to be pretty cool.” Not everyone is happy about AI’s introduction into artistic fields, though. Some artists and writers object to their work being used to train AI models without their permission. Some have argued that AI-generated content isn’t real art. When a human artist creates, they express their personal thoughts, experiences, and emotions. AI models cannot express those things because they are not self-aware, say AI experts. Anousha Syed is a Canadian AI trainer and illustrator. She told the Guardian, “AI doesn’t look at art and generate its own. It copies everyone’s, then turns it into something else.” Cuban-American musician and composer Yosvany Terry says, “When you hear those compositions by AI, they lack (缺乏) surprise, emotion, and even silence.” This has also led many people to question whether AI art can truly be considered “original” (独创的). If an AI-generated piece is heavily influenced by thousands of pre-existing works, who is the true author—the artist who programmed the AI, the machine itself, or the creators of the works the AI learned from? In the end, AI in art represents both an exciting area and a significant challenge for the art world. As people get used to AI and form guidelines for its use, we might become more welcoming about its place in art. Just stay up-to-date with the latest developments and rules, and remember that AI is a tool, not a replacement (替代) for human creativity.
