David Hockney’s work has shaped modern understanding of perception, attention, and ways of seeing for more than six decades, insisting on these as active forms of intelligence. The Cambridge Lectures on Art & Intelligence take place alongside the continued public presence of his work, including major exhibitions at institutions such as the Serpentine Galleries. David Hockney’s practice has long emphasized the active role of the viewers, the experience of time, and the intelligence of looking. These questions remain central as technologies increasingly influence how the world is seen and understood. The lecture series extends this inquiry into a wider conversation about human judgement, interpretation, confidence and inventive thinking in contemporary culture. At a moment when AI is transforming how images, information, and decisions are produced, the series asks what forms of human insight, judgement, and interpretive agency remain essential, and how they are developed, recognized, and sustained within education, culture, and industry. Attention Lecture dates run from 8th February 2026 to 18th February 2026 (in support of Cambridge Arts Festival 2026). Full collection of MODO lectures/events (20% off for double tickets): Time Theme Fee Sunday, 8th February Human Movie £25 per person Wednesday, 11th February Autism & Cognitive Evolution £27 per person Thursday, 12th February Participating in Gallery Crawl, Cambridge Arts Festival Free Thursday, 12th February When Physics Meets Art £30 per person Monday, 16th February Award-winning Human Movie and Hypothetical Image Reading £26 per person Wednesday, 18th February Perceptions Beyond Human Evolution — Whale Intelligence & AI £29 per person 1.

What will happen when a boy who loves basketball realizes he may not be tall enough to make it on the court? For Amar Shah, that realization did not end his dream — it helped him find a new one. Shah, a journalist and author of the graphic novel Wish I Was a Baller, turned his love for a famous basketball team into a writing career that began in eighth grade. “I knew I couldn’t make it as a basketball player, because I didn’t have that needed height,” Shah shared with a laugh. “So, I found my closest way to the court — through journalism.” That choice led to some incredible opportunities. While still in high school, Shah earned press permission and began interviewing basketball legends. Thinking back on his first interview with a famous basketball player, Shah said, “Here I am, not even five feet tall, and he’s seven feet. He talked to me for 30 minutes, like we were friends.” Kids can use reading and writing to stay close to the sport they love. There are numerous ways to work in sports without competing. In Wish I Was a Baller, Shah shared his professional journey, and he hoped that it would encourage young people to keep going. “Whatever your dreams are, continue striving for them, because you never know where they’ll take you,” he said. Many sports fans enjoy reading books about the game they love. From player autobiographies to fictional tournaments, there is something for everyone. Teenage Scholastic Kid Reporter Asher Freije is an athlete and sports fan who enjoys reading. He shared his advice for athletes who want to read more. “Find books on the sport you love. If you love that sport, then you most likely will love that book, because it’s something you already enjoy,” he said. He also explained how reading could inspire new interests, sharing that a book about wrestling once inspired his interest in that sport. 4. What was Shah’s original dream? A. To become a sports journalist. B. To write stories about basketball. C. To join a famous journalism team. D. To be a professional basketball player. 5. What is the tone of Wish I Was a Baller? A. Romantic. B. Inspirational. C. Ironic. D. Pessimistic. 6. What message did Asher Freije convey in the last paragraph? A. Wrestling is a popular teenage sport. B. Reading sports books benefits players. C. Athletes should read only sports books. D. Being good at a sport can win more fans. 7. What can be concluded from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many hands make light work. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述少年沙阿因身高无法成为篮球运动员，转而从事体育写作，分享自身经历激励年轻人，同时介绍体育读物对运动爱好者的益处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Shah, a journalist and author of the graphic novel Wish I Was a Baller, turned his love for a famous basketball team into a writing career that began in eighth grade. “I knew I couldn’t make it as a basketball player, because I didn’t have that needed height,” Shah shared with a laugh. (沙阿是一名记者，也是图画小说《愿我是篮球明星》的作者，他把自己对一支知名篮球队的热爱转化为一份写作事业，这份事业始于八年级。他笑着说道：“我知道我无法成为一名篮球运动员，因为我没有所需的身高。”)”可知，沙阿最初的梦想是成为职业篮球运动员。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In Wish I Was a Baller, Shah shared his professional journey, and he hoped that it would encourage young people to keep going. “Whatever your dreams are, continue striving for them, because you never know where they’ll take you,” he said. (在《愿我是篮球明星》一书中，沙阿分享了自己的职业历程，他希望这本书能够鼓励年轻人坚持前行。他说：“无论你的梦想是什么，都要继续为之努力，因为你永远不知道它们会带你去往何方。”)”可知，这本书旨在鼓舞年轻人坚持追梦，基调是鼓舞人心的。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Teenage Scholastic Kid Reporter Asher Freije is an athlete and sports fan who enjoys reading. He shared his advice for athletes who want to read more. “Find books on the sport you love. If you love that sport, then you most likely will love that book, because it’s something you already enjoy,” he said. He also explained how reading could inspire new interests, sharing that a book about wrestling once inspired his interest in that sport. (少年校园小记者阿舍·弗赖伊是一名运动员兼体育爱好者，他喜爱阅读。他为想要多读书的运动员给出建议：“去找关于你热爱的运动的书籍。如果你热爱这项运动，那你很可能会喜欢这本书，因为这是你本就喜爱的事物。”他还解释了阅读如何激发新的兴趣，并分享一本摔跤相关书籍曾让他对摔跤产生兴趣。)”可知，阿舍传递出阅读体育相关书籍对运动员有益的观点。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“What will happen when a boy who loves basketball realizes he may not be tall enough to make it on the court? For Amar Shah, that realization did not end his dream — it helped him find a new one. (当一个热爱篮球的男孩意识到自己身高不足以站上赛场时会发生什么？对阿马尔·沙阿而言，这个认知没有终结他的梦想，反而帮他找到了新的梦想。)”以及第三段中的“Kids can use reading and writing to stay close to the sport they love. There are numerous ways to work in sports without competing. (孩子们可以通过读写来贴近自己热爱的运动。不参与竞技，也有许多投身体育行业的途径。)”可知，文章表达通往热爱事业的道路不止一条。 C Search online and you will find countless DIYbio trends that promise healthier aging, from using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to sleeping under red lights. But research from Tufts University points to a much simpler lifestyle change that appears to work: eating slightly fewer calories. The findings come from CALERIE, short for Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy. In the study, 143 participants tried to reduce their calorie intake by 25% for two years, while 75 others continued eating normally as the control group. Researchers found notable improvements among the participants who reduced calories. Many shifted their diets away from fats and toward more protein and carbohydrates. Although the group achieved only about a 12% calorie reduction instead of the targeted 25%, they still experienced significant declines in blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and insulin levels compared with the control group. A paper released earlier this year found that lowering calorie intake did not reduce the overall nutritional quality of participants’ diets. “The most exciting part is that we saw these benefits with only a moderate level of restriction that’s feasible for most people. It doesn’t have to take extreme measures. For some people, just skipping a large daily sugary coffee drink can do the trick,” says Sai Krupa Das, one of the researchers. Researchers are still unable to understand exactly why calorie restriction boosts health. One theory is that eating less helps the body generate energy more efficiently while producing fewer reactive oxygen species, unstable molecules (分子) that can damage cells and contribute to diseases ranging from cancer to Parkinson’s disease. One test confirmed that the participants in the calorie restriction group had lower levels of these molecules than the control group. The CALERIE project is still ongoing. Researchers still do not know whether calorie restriction works best as a permanent lifestyle or as a shorter-term intervention. “I think the follow-up was necessary given such promising results in the primary study, and it is crucial to see how things play out over time,” Das says. 8. What is the effective way to slow aging according to the research from Tufts University? A. Receiving oxygen treatment. B. Using red lights while sleeping. C. Trying various DIYbio methods. D. Cutting down food calories a little. 9. What do we know about the calorie-cutting participants? A. They took in much less protein. B. They quitted before the deadline. C. Their health indicators turned better generally. D. Their diets were richer than the control group’s. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strange. B. Practical. C. Suspicious. D. Predictable. 11. Why do researchers carry out further research? A. To explore long-term effects of calorie restriction. B. To figure out new approaches to restricting calories. C. To explain why calorie restriction improves health. D. To detect how reactive oxygen species harm health. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项研究表明，适度减少卡路里摄入可以显著改善血压、胆固醇和胰岛素等健康指标，从而延缓衰老，但长期效果仍需进一步研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But research from Tufts University points to a much simpler lifestyle change that appears to work: eating slightly fewer calories. (但塔夫茨大学的研究指出一种更简单的生活方式改变似乎有效：稍微少吃点卡路里。)”可知，根据塔夫茨大学的研究，延缓衰老的有效方法是稍微减少食物卡路里的摄入。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although the group achieved only about a 12% calorie reduction instead of the targeted 25%, they still experienced significant declines in blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and insulin levels compared with the control group. (尽管该组仅实现了约12%的热量减少，未达到目标的25%，但与对照组相比，他们的血压、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和胰岛素水平仍显著下降。)”可知，减少卡路里的参与者的健康指标总体上变好了。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“It doesn’t have to take extreme measures. For some people, just skipping a large daily sugary coffee drink can do the trick (不必采取极端措施。对某些人来说，只需每天少喝一大杯含糖咖啡就足以达到效果。)”可知，实现这些好处无需极端措施，仅改变微小的日常饮食习惯就可以，说明这对大多数人来说是可行的，画线词的意思是“可行的，办得到的”，与Practical“切实有效的，切实可行的”意思接近。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Researchers still do not know whether calorie restriction works best as a permanent lifestyle or as a shorter-term intervention. “I think the follow-up was necessary given such promising results in the primary study, and it is crucial to see how things play out over time,” Das says. (研究人员仍然不清楚热量限制是作为长期生活方式还是短期干预措施效果最佳。“考虑到初步研究结果非常有希望，我认为后续随访是必要的，而且观察其长期发展情况至关重要，”Das说。)”可知，研究人员进行进一步研究是为了探索卡路里限制的长期效果。 D To the untrained eye, there is very little difference between the three known versions of the artwork The Lute Player. Almost identical in composition, the paintings all portray a young subject, in white clothes and with an instrument in hand, turning slightly away from the viewer. Each appears to carry Italian painter Caravaggio’s distinctive mastery of light and shadow. To art historians, however, there has long been broad agreement: The versions held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by Caravaggio, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is merely a copy. A Swiss tech company begged to differ, and it claimed there was an almost 86% chance that Badminton House’s version is authentic. The company’s AI model, which was trained to recognize markers of Caravaggio’s style, including shapes, color palettes and compositional structures, also declared (though with less statistical certainty) that Wildenstein’s version was likely a copy. Its analysis found “a significant difference” between the latter painting’s “visual characteristics” and those of Caravaggio’s other works. The company’s declarations have not always contradicted the established scholarship. It claimed that a long-debated painting of Vincent van Gogh at the National Museum in Oslo had a 97% chance of being genuine. The Vincent van Gogh authorship was later matched by more conventional research, including technical analyses and studies of the artist’s letters. The company’s authentication approach combines machine learning, deep neural networks and computer vision algorithms (算法). To date, the company has produced models for over 200 artists. In each, the AI is trained on two photographic datasets: a “positive” one, containing images of recognized paintings by the artist mentioned, and a “negative” one comprising similar but inauthentic works. The company emphasized that having a “high degree of similarity” between the two datasets to learn the difference is crucial. “I have reservations about it. Authentication is rarely just about surface style,” said art historian Sharon Hecker. “You have to know about the workshop, practices, materials, the condition of the work, the restoration history, and how a particular artist’s work evolved over time.” 12. What do we know about the three versions of The Lute Player? A. They are recognized as Caravaggio’s artworks. B. They are refused by famous European museums. C. They look almost the same to non-professionals. D. They differ greatly in composition and light use. 13. Why is the Vincent van Gogh’s painting mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove AI research has its reliability. B. To show the limits of traditional art study. C. To compare different creating styles of art. D. To stress the difficulty in painting creation. 14. What is Sharon Hecker’s attitude to the AI authentication method? A. Supportive. B. Curious. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Conflicts of Caravaggio’s Artworks B. AI Joins in the Artwork Identification C. AI represents Traditional Art Appreciation D. Approaches to Preserving Old Masterpieces 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍AI技术介入卡拉瓦乔画作真伪鉴定。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“To the untrained eye, there is very little difference between the three known versions of the artwork The Lute Player.(在外行看来，《弹鲁特琴者》这幅作品的三个已知版本几乎没有什么区别。)”可知，非专业人士几乎看不出这三幅画的差异。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The company’s declarations have not always contradicted the established scholarship. It claimed that a long-debated painting of Vincent van Gogh at the National Museum in Oslo had a 97% chance of being genuine. The Vincent van Gogh authorship was later matched by more conventional research, including technical analyses and studies of the artist’s letters.(这家公司的声明并非总是和公认的学术观点相悖，它声称奥斯陆国家博物馆中那幅长期存疑的梵高画作有97%的概率是真迹，这一梵高作品归属结论之后也得到了包含技术分析、艺术家书信研究在内的传统研究的佐证。)”可知，提及梵高画作的案例是为了证明AI鉴定具备一定可靠性。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I have reservations about it. Authentication is rarely just about surface style,” said art historian Sharon Hecker.(艺术史学家莎伦·赫克表示：“我对此持保留态度，艺术品鉴定从来都不只是关乎表面风格。”)”可知，这位艺术史学家对AI鉴定方法持怀疑态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕瑞士科技公司用AI技术鉴定卡拉瓦乔经典画作真伪的相关内容展开，核心主题是AI参与艺术品鉴定。“AI Joins in the Artwork Identification(‌AI参与艺术品鉴定)”符合题意。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Normally, inflammation (炎症) is beneficial because it is caused by the immune system to help your body fight off illness-causing bacteria and repair injured tissue.____16____If it doesn’t, it becomes chronic (慢性的), low-grade inflammation, which is invisible but can have harmful effects. Luckily, we can take steps to reduce chronic inflammation by adjusting our lifestyle. ____17____For many years, scientific research has shown that consuming lots of anti-inflammatory (抗炎的) foods — such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts — can help reduce inflammation, In addition, the benefits of consuming anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger are highly praised. The same is true for reducing alcohol intake. Ease your stress. Psychological stress is now recognized as a major cause of inflammation. It activates the body’s fight-or-flight response, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory chemicals.____18____Leisure activities such as meditating or doing yoga can help. To gain the anti-inflammatory effects, engage in these practices regularly rather than waiting for the stress to pile up. Prioritize shut-eye. Insufficient, inconsistent or poor quality sleep is associated with higher inflammatory markers in the body. Our immune system is regulated in part by the body’s internal clock — when your sleep schedule is irregular, your body’s clocks might stop keeping the same time.____19____To avoid this, keep your bedtime and wake times consistent. Set limits on social media. Social media use steals time you might otherwise spend doing anti-inflammatory activities like exercising, sleeping and spending time in person with friends. The solution is to set boundaries on your use. Notice whether you feel in control when using social media.____20____ A. Build strong social connections. B. Make your efforts in the kitchen. C. Then inflammation is one of the prices you pay D. These substances can be cut down by relaxation. E. If you feel bad afterwards, ask yourself if you can stop. F. When the battle is over, inflammation is supposed to cease. G. Social connections really change how sensitive the brain is to stress. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了慢性炎症的危害，并从健康饮食、缓解压力、优质睡眠及限制社交媒体四方面提出生活方式调整建议。 【16题详解】 上文“Normally, inflammation (炎症) is beneficial because it is caused by the immune system to help your body fight off illness-causing bacteria and repair injured tissue. (通常情况下，炎症是有益的，因为它是由免疫系统引发的，能帮助身体抵御致病菌并修复受损组织。)”说明炎症在正常情况下的积极作用。空后“If it doesn’t, it becomes chronic (慢性的), low-grade inflammation, which is invisible but can have harmful effects. (如果它没有停止，就会转变为慢性、低级别的炎症，这种炎症虽不易察觉，却可能产生有害影响。)”指出炎症未消退的不良后果。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明炎症本应在战斗结束后停止。选项F“When the battle is over, inflammation is supposed to cease. (当战斗结束时，炎症理应停止。)”中“battle”指代前文对抗病菌的过程，“cease”引出后文未停止的后果，逻辑连贯，符合语境。 【17题详解】 下文“For many years, scientific research has shown that consuming lots of anti-inflammatory foods — such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts — can help reduce inflammation. (多年来，科学研究表明，食用大量抗炎食物——如水果、蔬菜、全谷物和坚果——有助于减轻炎症。)”说明科学饮食对控制炎症的显著作用。空处为段首主题句，需总领全段关于饮食调理的核心内容。选项B“Make your efforts in the kitchen. (在厨房里下功夫。)”概括了本段通过烹饪和食材选择来抗炎的主旨，与后文列举的具体食物相呼应，符合语境。 【18题详解】 上文“Psychological stress is now recognized as a major cause of inflammation. It activates the body’s fight-or-flight response, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory chemicals. (心理压力现已被认为是引发炎症的一个主要原因。它会激活人体的“战或逃”反应，导致促炎化学物质释放。)”分析心理压力诱发炎症的生理机制。空后“Leisure activities such as meditating or doing yoga can help. (冥想或瑜伽等休闲活动会有所帮助。)”提出通过放松来缓解压力的具体方法。空处和前文为因果关系，说明放松可以减少这些有害物质。选项D“These substances can be cut down by relaxation. (这些物质可以通过放松来减少。)”中“These substances”指代前文的“pro-inflammatory chemicals”，“relaxation”自然引出后文的冥想和瑜伽，符合语境。 【19题详解】 上文“Prioritize shut-eye. Insufficient, inconsistent or poor quality sleep is associated with higher inflammatory markers in the body. Our immune system is regulated in part by the body’s internal clock — when your sleep schedule is irregular, your body’s clocks might stop keeping the same time. (优先考虑睡眠。睡眠不足、不规律或质量差都与体内较高的炎症标志物有关。我们的免疫系统部分受人体生物钟调节——当作息不规律时，生物钟可能不再同步。)”阐述睡眠不足及作息紊乱引发炎症的危害。空后“To avoid this, keep your bedtime and wake times consistent. (为避免这种情况，应保持就寝和起床时间规律。)”提出保持作息规律的解决方案。空处和前文为因果关系，说明炎症是不良作息付出的代价。选项C“Then inflammation is one of the prices you pay. (那么炎症就是你为此付出的代价之一。)”承接前文睡眠问题带来的后果，引出后文避免此后果的方法，符合语境。 【20题详解】 上文“Set limits on social media.

His parents worked hard to make ends meet, but they always made sure Luke felt loved and secure. After graduating from high school, Luke moved to a big city to pursue his college degree in social work. During his studies, he often volunteered at local shelters and community centers. There, he met many children sleeping on the floor or on old, worn-out couches. Those children looked tired and unhappy, and their lack of proper sleeping arrangements broke Luke’s heart. He knew he had to do something to change this situation. Inspired by what he witnessed during his volunteer work, Luke decided to establish an organization called Sleep in Fantastic Peace (SFP). His motivation was simple yet powerful: to ensure that every child in need could have a comfortable bed to sleep in. The purpose of the organization was to build and deliver beds to children across the United States who didn’t have one of their own. Initially, Luke built beds himself with his family. The effort grew rapidly as local communities joined, driven by Luke’s passion. Over the years, SFP grew steadily. They built and delivered thousands of beds to children in different states. But Luke always dreamed of doing something even bigger, something that could make a huge impact in a short period. That opportunity came when Luke decided to organize a massive bed-building event in the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina. The goal was to build 3,000 beds in just 24 hours for children who didn’t have a bed of their own. To achieve this, Luke and his team worked tirelessly on the planning. They created a detailed schedule, divided the volunteers into different teams, and arranged for the delivery of all the necessary materials. On the event day, more than 2,500 volunteers flooded into the Charlotte Convention Center. They came from all walks of life — students, corporate teams, and families — united by a single purpose. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The work of building beds began in the volunteers’ busy activities. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the clock struck the 24-hour mark, the goal was met. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The work of building beds began in the volunteers’ busy activities. Volunteers were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific part of the bed-building process. Some were cutting the wood, some were assembling the frames, and others were attaching the mattresses and bedding. Luke moved around the center, encouraging the volunteers and making sure everything was running smoothly. As the hours passed, the number of completed beds kept increasing. The volunteers worked with great enthusiasm, knowing that they were making a real difference in the lives of children. As the clock struck the 24-hour mark, the goal was met. 3,000 beds stood ready for delivery. Luke addressed the volunteers, “This is just the beginning,” his voice trembling with emotion. “We’ve shown that when people come together, we can make a huge difference.” He thanked them for giving children the gift of sleep. And so, Luke and his team at SFP continued their mission, knowing that their efforts were bringing sweet dreams to children all across the country, just as they had set out to do. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Luke的公益初心为主线，讲述了他大学做志愿者时目睹贫困孩童无床可睡，创立SFP组织为困难儿童打造床铺；多年后他策划一场24小时赶制3000张床的大型公益活动，两千五百名各行各业志愿者齐聚会场合力劳作，最终圆满完成目标，Luke借此呼吁更多人携手传递温暖，持续践行帮扶孩童的使命。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写志愿者按分工有序开工，有人切割木料、组装床架、铺设床垫床品；Luke穿梭会场鼓舞众人，随着时间推移完工床铺不断堆积，所有志愿者满怀热忱埋头劳作，清楚自己的付出会改变贫困孩子的生活。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写三千张床铺全部完工整装待发，Luke激动地向全体志愿者致辞，感慨众人凝聚的力量能创造巨大改变；他感谢大家送给孩子们安稳睡眠的礼物，SFP团队也将坚守初心，持续为全国孩子带去安睡与美梦。 2. 续写线索： 志愿者分组分工开工——Luke巡视鼓励众人——床铺数量不断增加、全员热情劳作——时限抵达，三千张床铺完工——Luke动情演讲致谢志愿者、点明团结的力量——团队坚守公益使命，持续帮扶各地孩童 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①来回巡视：move around/wander through ②整装待发：stand ready for delivery / be prepared to send out 情绪类 ①满腔热忱：great enthusiasm / intense passion ②激动动容：tremble with emotion / shake with mixed feelings 【点睛】【高分句型1】The volunteers worked with great enthusiasm, knowing that they were making a real difference in the lives of children.

David Hockney’s work has shaped modern understanding of perception, attention, and ways of seeing for more than six decades, insisting on these as active forms of intelligence. The Cambridge Lectures on Art & Intelligence take place alongside the continued public presence of his work, including major exhibitions at institutions such as the Serpentine Galleries. David Hockney’s practice has long emphasized the active role of the viewers, the experience of time, and the intelligence of looking. These questions remain central as technologies increasingly influence how the world is seen and understood. The lecture series extends this inquiry into a wider conversation about human judgement, interpretation, confidence and inventive thinking in contemporary culture. At a moment when AI is transforming how images, information, and decisions are produced, the series asks what forms of human insight, judgement, and interpretive agency remain essential, and how they are developed, recognized, and sustained within education, culture, and industry. Attention Lecture dates run from 8th February 2026 to 18th February 2026 (in support of Cambridge Arts Festival 2026). Full collection of MODO lectures/events (20% off for double tickets): Time Theme Fee Sunday, 8th February Human Movie £25 per person Wednesday, 11th February Autism & Cognitive Evolution £27 per person Thursday, 12th February Participating in Gallery Crawl, Cambridge Arts Festival Free Thursday, 12th February When Physics Meets Art £30 per person Monday, 16th February Award-winning Human Movie and Hypothetical Image Reading £26 per person Wednesday, 18th February Perceptions Beyond Human Evolution — Whale Intelligence & AI £29 per person 1. What is the core topic of the lecture series? A. The co-evolution of human intelligence and AI. B. The effects of Cambridge Arts Festival on lectures. C. The achievements of David Hockney in modern art. D. The development of AI technology in art exhibitions. 2. Which of the following does David Hockney’s practice highlight? A. Passive human conversation. B. Attentive writing intelligence. C. Dependent thinking experience. D. Viewers’ active participation. 3. How much will a couple pay for both Thursday lectures? A. £30. B. £48. C. £60. D. £96. B Many kids love playing sports, but being a professional athlete can be difficult. What will happen when a boy who loves basketball realizes he may not be tall enough to make it on the court? For Amar Shah, that realization did not end his dream — it helped him find a new one. Shah, a journalist and author of the graphic novel Wish I Was a Baller, turned his love for a famous basketball team into a writing career that began in eighth grade. “I knew I couldn’t make it as a basketball player, because I didn’t have that needed height,” Shah shared with a laugh. “So, I found my closest way to the court — through journalism.” That choice led to some incredible opportunities. While still in high school, Shah earned press permission and began interviewing basketball legends. Thinking back on his first interview with a famous basketball player, Shah said, “Here I am, not even five feet tall, and he’s seven feet. He talked to me for 30 minutes, like we were friends.” Kids can use reading and writing to stay close to the sport they love. There are numerous ways to work in sports without competing. In Wish I Was a Baller, Shah shared his professional journey, and he hoped that it would encourage young people to keep going. “Whatever your dreams are, continue striving for them, because you never know where they’ll take you,” he said. Many sports fans enjoy reading books about the game they love. From player autobiographies to fictional tournaments, there is something for everyone. Teenage Scholastic Kid Reporter Asher Freije is an athlete and sports fan who enjoys reading. He shared his advice for athletes who want to read more. “Find books on the sport you love. If you love that sport, then you most likely will love that book, because it’s something you already enjoy,” he said. He also explained how reading could inspire new interests, sharing that a book about wrestling once inspired his interest in that sport. 4. What was Shah’s original dream? A. To become a sports journalist. B. To write stories about basketball. C. To join a famous journalism team. D. To be a professional basketball player. 5. What is the tone of Wish I Was a Baller? A. Romantic. B. Inspirational. C. Ironic. D. Pessimistic. 6. What message did Asher Freije convey in the last paragraph? A. Wrestling is a popular teenage sport. B. Reading sports books benefits players. C. Athletes should read only sports books. D. Being good at a sport can win more fans. 7. What can be concluded from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many hands make light work. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Search online and you will find countless DIYbio trends that promise healthier aging, from using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to sleeping under red lights. But research from Tufts University points to a much simpler lifestyle change that appears to work: eating slightly fewer calories. The findings come from CALERIE, short for Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy. In the study, 143 participants tried to reduce their calorie intake by 25% for two years, while 75 others continued eating normally as the control group. Researchers found notable improvements among the participants who reduced calories. Many shifted their diets away from fats and toward more protein and carbohydrates. Although the group achieved only about a 12% calorie reduction instead of the targeted 25%, they still experienced significant declines in blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and insulin levels compared with the control group. A paper released earlier this year found that lowering calorie intake did not reduce the overall nutritional quality of participants’ diets. “The most exciting part is that we saw these benefits with only a moderate level of restriction that’s feasible for most people. It doesn’t have to take extreme measures. For some people, just skipping a large daily sugary coffee drink can do the trick,” says Sai Krupa Das, one of the researchers. Researchers are still unable to understand exactly why calorie restriction boosts health. One theory is that eating less helps the body generate energy more efficiently while producing fewer reactive oxygen species, unstable molecules (分子) that can damage cells and contribute to diseases ranging from cancer to Parkinson’s disease. One test confirmed that the participants in the calorie restriction group had lower levels of these molecules than the control group. The CALERIE project is still ongoing. Researchers still do not know whether calorie restriction works best as a permanent lifestyle or as a shorter-term intervention. “I think the follow-up was necessary given such promising results in the primary study, and it is crucial to see how things play out over time,” Das says. 8. What is the effective way to slow aging according to the research from Tufts University? A. Receiving oxygen treatment. B. Using red lights while sleeping. C. Trying various DIYbio methods. D. Cutting down food calories a little. 9. What do we know about the calorie-cutting participants? A. They took in much less protein. B. They quitted before the deadline. C. Their health indicators turned better generally. D. Their diets were richer than the control group’s. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strange. B. Practical. C. Suspicious. D. Predictable. 11. Why do researchers carry out further research? A. To explore long-term effects of calorie restriction. B. To figure out new approaches to restricting calories. C. To explain why calorie restriction improves health. D. To detect how reactive oxygen species harm health. D To the untrained eye, there is very little difference between the three known versions of the artwork The Lute Player. Almost identical in composition, the paintings all portray a young subject, in white clothes and with an instrument in hand, turning slightly away from the viewer. Each appears to carry Italian painter Caravaggio’s distinctive mastery of light and shadow. To art historians, however, there has long been broad agreement: The versions held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by Caravaggio, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is merely a copy. A Swiss tech company begged to differ, and it claimed there was an almost 86% chance that Badminton House’s version is authentic. The company’s AI model, which was trained to recognize markers of Caravaggio’s style, including shapes, color palettes and compositional structures, also declared (though with less statistical certainty) that Wildenstein’s version was likely a copy. Its analysis found “a significant difference” between the latter painting’s “visual characteristics” and those of Caravaggio’s other works. The company’s declarations have not always contradicted the established scholarship. It claimed that a long-debated painting of Vincent van Gogh at the National Museum in Oslo had a 97% chance of being genuine. The Vincent van Gogh authorship was later matched by more conventional research, including technical analyses and studies of the artist’s letters. The company’s authentication approach combines machine learning, deep neural networks and computer vision algorithms (算法). To date, the company has produced models for over 200 artists. In each, the AI is trained on two photographic datasets: a “positive” one, containing images of recognized paintings by the artist mentioned, and a “negative” one comprising similar but inauthentic works.

Luckily, we can take steps to reduce chronic inflammation by adjusting our lifestyle. ____17____For many years, scientific research has shown that consuming lots of anti-inflammatory (抗炎的) foods — such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts — can help reduce inflammation, In addition, the benefits of consuming anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger are highly praised. The same is true for reducing alcohol intake. Ease your stress. Psychological stress is now recognized as a major cause of inflammation. It activates the body’s fight-or-flight response, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory chemicals.____18____Leisure activities such as meditating or doing yoga can help. To gain the anti-inflammatory effects, engage in these practices regularly rather than waiting for the stress to pile up. Prioritize shut-eye. Insufficient, inconsistent or poor quality sleep is associated with higher inflammatory markers in the body. Our immune system is regulated in part by the body’s internal clock — when your sleep schedule is irregular, your body’s clocks might stop keeping the same time.____19____To avoid this, keep your bedtime and wake times consistent. Set limits on social media. Social media use steals time you might otherwise spend doing anti-inflammatory activities like exercising, sleeping and spending time in person with friends. The solution is to set boundaries on your use. Notice whether you feel in control when using social media.____20____ A. Build strong social connections. B. Make your efforts in the kitchen. C.

His parents worked hard to make ends meet, but they always made sure Luke felt loved and secure. After graduating from high school, Luke moved to a big city to pursue his college degree in social work. During his studies, he often volunteered at local shelters and community centers. There, he met many children sleeping on the floor or on old, worn-out couches. Those children looked tired and unhappy, and their lack of proper sleeping arrangements broke Luke’s heart. He knew he had to do something to change this situation. Inspired by what he witnessed during his volunteer work, Luke decided to establish an organization called Sleep in Fantastic Peace (SFP). His motivation was simple yet powerful: to ensure that every child in need could have a comfortable bed to sleep in. The purpose of the organization was to build and deliver beds to children across the United States who didn’t have one of their own. Initially, Luke built beds himself with his family. The effort grew rapidly as local communities joined, driven by Luke’s passion. Over the years, SFP grew steadily. They built and delivered thousands of beds to children in different states. But Luke always dreamed of doing something even bigger, something that could make a huge impact in a short period. That opportunity came when Luke decided to organize a massive bed-building event in the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina. The goal was to build 3,000 beds in just 24 hours for children who didn’t have a bed of their own. To achieve this, Luke and his team worked tirelessly on the planning. They created a detailed schedule, divided the volunteers into different teams, and arranged for the delivery of all the necessary materials. On the event day, more than 2,500 volunteers flooded into the Charlotte Convention Center. They came from all walks of life — students, corporate teams, and families — united by a single purpose. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The work of building beds began in the volunteers’ busy activities. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the clock struck the 24-hour mark, the goal was met. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
