In 1973, the artist Marc Chagall made an emtinal return t Russian sil. He was 85 years ld and hadn’t seen the cuntry f his birth fr mre than half a century.
“I feel. mre muscular nw,” he said shrtly after the trip was ver. “It did me gd. It refreshed me fr my wrk.” The remarkable thing, hwever, is that despite his advanced age, Chagall never needed much refreshing. He cntinued wrking till his dying day, aged 97.
It was in his later years that his use f intense clur ntably advanced. There were tw bvius catalysts (催化剂) fr this. One was Chagall’s mve in 1949 frm Paris t the Cte d’Azur, where the clrful landscape, with its green seas and purple fields, left their mark. The ther ne was Chagall’s wrk designing stained-glass windws (彩色玻璃). Chagall’s effrts in stained glass undubtedly cntributed t his il-painting practice. The pure passages f yellw, green, range, purple and white that divide the canvas (画布) f L’ervl du peintre int three are a fine example.
Dallmayr suggests in his bk Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker (2020) that after living thrugh tw wrld wars, as well as the hrrr f the Hlcaust, Chagall develped an “artistic visin f peace”. His wrk was characterised by a sense f harmny and happiness.
As ne f the wrld’s greatest artists, he was never shrt f speaking invitatins, and in a lecture in 1959 he said that “lve shuld be the basis f true plitics—it culd bring abut real peace”.
It’s imprtant t stress that Chagall was an artist, nt a plitician—but the speeches frm his latter years d shed a certain light n his wrk frm that time.
He never stpped innvating, whether in painting r in his embrace and cmmand f new media entirely. All the while, his art was marked by its warmth, wit and—perhaps especially in later life—the aim f giving peace a chance.
4. Hw did Marc Chagall feel abut the trip t Russia?
A. Excited.B. Relieved.C. Exhausted.D. Bred.
5. Why is Marc Chagall’s painting L’envl du peintre mentined?
A. T shw his extrardinary understanding f intense clrs
B. T display his applicatin f different clrs in the il painting
C. T demnstrate the impact f designing stained glass n his il painting
D. T illustrate the exceptinal divisin f the canvas in il painting practice
6. Accrding t the passage, what wrds can best describe Marc Chagall?
A. Creative and peace-lving.B. Passinate and emtinal.
C. Cnsiderate and hardwrking.D. Friendly and imaginative.
7. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing influences the style f his wrks?
A. His advanced age.B. His plitical view.
C. His marriage life.D. His schl educatin.

Genetic infrmatin is imprtant because it stres, prcesses and transmits bilgical data frm generatin t generatin. Sme scientists even assume that knwing genetic infrmatin itself matters.
Fr example, in quantum mechanics (量子力学), there is a ppular thery knwn as the “bserver effect”, which states that the act f bserving a phenmenn (usually by making sme kind f measurement) necessarily changes that phenmenn. In ther wrds, just by being there and having an interest in the utcme, we affect that utcme.
While the explanatins behind the bserver’s influence in quantum mechanics cme dwn t the measuring instrument and nt the bserver’s cnscius mind, we als see strng evidence fr the “placeb effect” in medicine: a patient’s cnditin can imprve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And thse beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is nt actually receiving that treatment r if the treatment desn’t actually wrk.
If ur minds truly d have pwer ver ur surrundings and ur bdies, what des having the genetic infrmatin d t us? Des simply knwing mre abut ur wn physilgy (生理机能) change it? A recent study n exercise and besity suggests that the answer is yes.
Thse wh were tld they were at lw genetic risk fr besity prduced 2.5 times mre f the fullness hrmne and claimed t feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had ne week prir. Thse wh were tld they had lwer endurance because f their genes did wrse n their physical test than they had befre receiving that infrmatin: they shwed lwer lung capacity and quit sner.
Thus, having infrmatin abut ur genetic risk can lead t imprvements in ur physilgy (as was true fr the eaters f the study), but it can als put us at a disadvantage (as with the pr exercise perfrmers). S we certainly need t be cautius f incrrect genetic infrmatin. But as the Stanfrd study shws, even if the genetic infrmatin we receive is crrect, hw we receive it is als imprtant.
8. Hw des the “placeb effect” in medicine wrk?
A. The patient recvers with the timely treatment.
B. The patient’s cnditin wrsens due t a lack f treatment.
C. The patient’s cnditin remains unchanged despite their belief.
D. The patient’s cnditin imprves with the belief in the treatment.
9. Accrding t paragraph 5, what happened t thse wh were tld they were at lw genetic risk fr besity?
A. They shwed lwer lung capacity.
B. They quit their physical test sner.
C. They needed mre fd t satisfy their appetite.
D. They felt fuller with mre fullness hrmne released.
10. What is the authr’s attitude twards having genetic infrmatin?
A Psitive.B. Objective.
C. Ambiguus.D. Negative.
11. What is the main idea f this article?
A. The great pwer f the bserver’s mind.
B. The influence f knwing genetic infrmatin.
C. The amazing applicatin f genetic infrmatin.
D. The cnnectin between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.

On Friday, Silicn Valley Bank (SVB) cllapsed and was taken ver by federal regulatrs, marking ne f the largest bank failures since the 2008 Glbal Financial Crisis. Califrnia’s banking regulatrs shut dwn SVB and effectively gives cntrl f the bank t the FDIC, which created a new entity(实体) t versee it. With a 40-year histry, SVB served many cmpanies, and it played an imprtant rle in the technlgy industry, successfully cmpeting with bigger-name banks.
SVB’s business bmed as tech cmpanies did well during the Cvid-19. Hwever, the technlgy industry recently faced difficulties, and many clients withdrew mney. T fulfill these withdrawals, SVB sld part f its bnd hldings(持有债券) at a $1.8 billin lss. The Federal Reserve’s(美联储) sharp rise in interest rate als affected bnds and stcks. Then SVB decided it wanted t reduce its bnd prtfli(债券投资组合) t avid further lsses.
But that annuncement spked the bank’s clients, wh gt wrried and then prceeded t withdraw even mre mney frm the bank—a textbk definitin f a bank run. The bank’s stck price(股价) fell by 60% n Thursday, and as its share price cntinued t sink vernight. Trading was halted, and the FDIC tk ver SVB.
While cncerns emerged abut the banking sectr, shares f majr banks like J. P. Mrgan, Wells Farg, and Bank f America drpped by arund 5%. Investrs wrried that ther banks, particularly smaller nes, might experience similar withdrawals. Hwever, by Friday, fears regarding the brader banking sectr had eased. Experts argued that SVB’s situatin was unusual and shuld nt impact ther reginal banks.
The FDIC-created entity, Depsit Insurance Natinal Bank f Santa Clara, will versee SVB. Insured depsits(存款), typically up t $250,000, will be accessible by Mnday. Uninsured depsits face uncertainty, with the FDIC ffering an “advance dividend(提前股息)” and “certificates” accunting fr the uninsured funds. The regulatr has nt clarified what this means fr uninsured depsitrs. Investrs will cntinue mnitring any ptential impact n ther banks.
12. What d we learn abut Silicn Valley Bank?
A. It is the wrld’s first bank that has failed.
B. It has already been taken ver by the FDIC.
C. It failed because f the severe situatin during the pandemic.
D. It cllapsed as a result f cmpetitin with the famus banks.
13. What des the underlined wrd “spked” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Calmed.B. Inspired.
C. Panicked.D. Persuaded.
14. What is the direct cause f SVB’s failure?
A. Lss f the bnd prtfli.
B. The decline f the tech industry.
C. The reductin f the Federal Reserve’s interest rate.
D. Withdrawals frm a large number f custmers.
15. What can be learned in the passage?
A. All small banks will be impacted sner r later.
B. The banking industry is facing the biggest challenge.
C. Thse wh have uninsured depsits will lse everything.
D. SVB’s depsit users are likely t be affected by its cllapse.
