B A new documentary.Timeless Oingyi,airs on China Central Television's documentary channel,offering an intimate look into the life and legacy of Shen Fucun,one of the most revered masters of Peking Opera. 第4页共12页 Bor into a poor family in Chongqing in 1935.Shcn rose to become a distinguished pcrformcr of his generation.As a male actor renowned for portraying qingyi,a virtuous and refined fcmale role,he carned the nicknames "Sichuan Mci L.anfang"and "Chongqing Zhang Jungiu",showing respect to two celebrated masters.Over a career spanning nearly 70 years,he bocame a national inhcritor of this intangible cultural heritage and served as a visiting professor. He passed away in 2021. The documentary stands out for its meticulous,deeply human approach.Directed by award-winning filmmaker Xu Bei,the thrce-episode series weaves together archival footage, family recollections and interviews to illuminate both the artist and the man behind the stage. Playwright Luo Huaizhen says the film reveals an artist's refined aesthetic sensibility and the enduring grace of a true gentleman.Luo also notes that the film goes beyond a conventional account of Shen's accomplishments,placing his life within social change and opera evolution, moving away from heroic narrative to reveal the experiences of an ordinarv individual.By focusing on daily life details and inner world,the documentary creates intimacy,making audiences feel as though they are beside him.

D.Good teachers carry culture's flame. C A "memory breakdown"is often said to be the major cognitive problem of our time.In a recent piece in The Chronicle Review,Daniel Mercer argued that "students can't remember even simple facts without checking their phones",and many schools have quietly lowered expectations for memorizing dates,formulas and vocabulary. Yet complaints about weak memory are hardiy new.In the late 19th century,British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students'power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads.Over the decades,similar denunciationrs have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms. Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability,we may be seeing a shift in how pecple choose to use their memory.Many students now treat their phones as an "external brain", much as earlier generations treated the family bookshelf.At the same time,the use of digital calendars,search engines and cloud storage continue to rise.This points to a change not in whether people can remember,but in what they believe is worth remembering."Students can still memorize,"Mercer wrote."They're just deciding to memorize different things" This leads to a deeper question:What kind of memory do we truly need,and why? Psychologists often distinguish between recall-producing information with no help -and recognition,which is using clues to find what we once knew.In classic "change blindness" experiments,people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person,because their attention is on the task,nat the face.It shows that relying on external cues (and context is not always a weakness;it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources. Could today's young people be developing useful memory strategies that we have not yet learned to value?What about their skill at searching huge databases in seconds,or at linking ideas across videos,chats and online documents?These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider-with the history of past "memory breakdown"in mind-how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible,forward-looking ways 28.What does the underlined word"denunciations"in:paragraph 2 mean? A.Origins.B.Reminders. C.Criticisms. D.Indicators. 29.What does the growing use of digital tools suggest according to Mercer? A.People no longer need to train their memory. B.People are changing the way they use their memory C.Schools are forcing students to rely on external devices. D.Modern technology is destroying traditional learning tools. 30.Why does the author mention the"change blindness"experiments? 第6页共12页 A.To display that pcople are easily fooled by visual tricks B.To prove that using outside cues c be a reasonable strategy. C.To demonstrate that face recognition is more important than tasks. D.To illustrate that most memories are formed without our awareness. 31.What will probably be discussed next? A.Challenges facing the young generation. B.More valuable lessons taught by history. C.Ways to support memory in the digital age. D.Effects of relying on external memory tools. D Beneath the ocean's surface lies a secret world of light.While bioluminescence-the ability of living things to produce their own light-has long interested scientists,a lesser-known phenomenon called bio--fluorescence(生物荧光)is now stealing the spotlight.. Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another,creating vivid lights in colors like green,red,or orange.Unlike bioluminescence,which produces light through chemical reactions,bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow.This natural light show is not just for beauty;it serves critical survival functions. In the coral reefs (of the Pacific,researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light."It's a dance of partnership guided by light,"explains marine biologist Dr.Kenji Nakamura.Without this interaction,coral bleaching ()-a major threat to coral ecosystems -would speed up. Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid(短尾乌賊).When threatened by hunters,it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink.The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape.Dr.Emily Carter who led the study notes,"This is evolution's version of a smoke screen-but far more shining." The discovery of GFP一green fluorescent protein(绿色荧光蛋白)一in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science.Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells,making invisible processes visible.Today,it lights up nerve cells in brain studies,helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer's."GFP is a window into the brain's hidden workings," says brain scientist Dr.Maria Gonzalez. Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies.For example,fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting,and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging."Nature's designs are blueprints for human innovation,"says materials scientist Dr.Raj Putel. Yet mysteries remain.Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes stiH-unclear.As submarines dive deeper,each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show,proving that the ocean's depths still guard ancient secrets. 32.How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence? 第7页共12页 A.It is drawing less attention. B.It produces brighter lights. C.It needs an outside light source. D.It makes better use of chemical reactions 33.What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4? A.They both describe light-based hunting methods. B.They both explain the formation of a close partnership C.They both highlight potential threats to the environment. D.They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence. 34.What is the main use of GFP in science? A.To protect corals from bleaching. B.To create more efficient LED lights C.To treat the disease of Alzheimer's. D.To visualize cells for better observation. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Bio-fluorescence:Nature's Hidden Light Show B.Bio-fluorescence:Nature's Display of Beauty C.Bioluminescence:Ocean's Ancient Magic Power D.Bioluminescence:Colourful Window into Ocean Secret 第二节七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 How to handle criticism in a healthy way Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger (feelings such as anger,shame,or fear.While criticism can be taken as hurtful,it can also be viewed in a positive way. 36 <eeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it ca:.o help you move forward in life.Here's how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage. Stop your first reaction.Feeling "attacked"may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response.

Thank those offering the criticism.Sometimes they're coming from a place of wanting to help you.That takes courage,and is a very generous thing.Even when they're.not trying to be helpful,they've taken the time to espond to you.40 Causing a reaction means you've done something interesting-and for that,you should be thankful. A.Respond calmly. B.Practice active listening. C.It is quite normal to feel hurt. D.It can be an opportunity to improve. E.Getting a response is better-than absolute silence.
