To involve viewers completely, an entirely new art form is developing. It surrounds visitors with images and sounds. Sometimes unnoticeable smells are added to draw people in through yet another sense. These immersive（沉浸式的）exhibits are projected and can even change with interaction.

Monet’s Garden: The Immersive Experience

A massive, immersive exhibition celebrating French artist Claude Monet will be shown in downtown New York in November, promising visitors a multisensory experience. Visitors will be greeted by pleasant smells of water lilies floating in the air and learn much about Monet, who developed from a gifted but slightly traditional landscape painter into a master of the Impressionism.

TheBlu

TheBlu, which started as a home application, is presented at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Museum lovers virtually observe a big blue whale and a whale fall where a dead whale’s bones have become an undersea ecosystem. “We aim for the right level of awe（敬畏）. No cheap scares. No shark jumps out at you,” says Rowell, one of the app developers, “Exploration is the heart of what ‘theBlu’ is. ”

Particle（微粒）Mirror

The Museum of Science, Boston has used the latest tech to excite visitors and inspire life-long learning. Opened this year, “Particle Mirror” inspires an interest in physics. Visitors are led through nine scenes interacting with a changing variety of spots, all following the laws of physics. For example, in the “snow” scene, visitors can collect the falling particles or sweep them off the floor. Particles set off different musical sounds when pushed.

Vitality in Running

This immersive art exhibition is an interactive multi-media one focusing on the culture of the Yongding River, known as the “Mother River of Beijing”. This exhibition is made up of various sections including “Flowing”, “Dawn”, “Legend”, “Coexistence”, “Fire and Dreams’, and “Four Seasons”. The exhibition feeds its visitors’ souls by presenting the beauty of art through interaction with visitors by means of the latest technologies.

21. Which exhibition most attracts a physics lover?

A. TheBlu.  B. Monet’s Garden: The Immersive Experience.

C. Particle Mirror.  D. Vitality in Running.

French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct. 6. She is the first French female to win the prize, following 15 male winners. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Ernaux was given the award “for the courage and clinical acuity（敏锐的洞察力）of her writing. ”

Bom in 1940 in a village in Nonnandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment. Her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She studied in Rouen and Bordeaux, taught in secondary schools and then, for 23 years, worked for a French distance-learning university. Her shelf of two-dozen books began with fiction (Cleaned Out in 1974) but soon moved into a form of creative autobiography.

A Woman’s Story（1987）, an emotional account of her mother’s life and death from Alzheimer’s disease, better promoted her reputation in France. The injustices of class, gender and background stand out in this work. Her most welcomed book, however, was The Years, published in 2008 and describing herself and wider French society from the end of World War II to the present. The seemingly casually（随意地）mentioned goods and songs in the novel are actually carefully selected by her and concerned by the public, so readers of all ages can find familiar content and clear memories.

Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in simple language. Ernaux described her style as flat writing through which she aims to tell her stories objectively（客观地）unshaped by flowery description or intense emotions.

“Her path to being an author was long and tough,” the Swedish Academy said. “And when she with great courage shows the suffering of the experience of class, describing shame or inability to see who you are, she has achieved something admirable and lasting,”Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature added.

24. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux?

A. She was the 15th French to win the prize.

B. She was born with a literature background.

C. She was a teacher before her writing career.

D. She began her writing with stories of herself.

25. What can be said about A Woman’s Story from paragraph 3?

A. It brought Ernaux to fame in France.  B. It reflects the French social injustices.

C. It’s Ernaux’s most welcomed book.  D. It describes Ernaux’s life after World War Ⅱ.

26. What can we know about Ernaux’s writing?

A. She casually chooses goods and songs in her works.

B. She aims at readers of a specific age group.

C. She uses easy language to discuss serious topics.

D. She puts strong personal emotion into her works.

27. What does Anders Olsson think of Annie Ernaux?

A. Courageous and respectable.  B. Energetic and sensible.

C. Thoughtful and generous.  D. Capable and self-focused.

C

In the search for clean, renewable energy to meet our ever-increasing needs, wind power might seem to be the perfect option. Around the end of the 19th century, the invention of the wind turbine（涡轮机）made it possible to use wind to produce electricity. Now massive wind turbines, called wind farms, create and provide clean electricity for people around the world. Yet despite the advantages that wind energy offers, challenges to using this renewable resource can be found.

The first advantage of wind power is that it truly is a renewable resource. No matter how much wind we use to produce electricity, we will never deplete the supply, unlike other resources like coal or oil. However, wind does not provide a lasting supply of energy. Even the windiest places on Earth have periods of calm. That means that wind power isn’t practicable as a single source of electricity. It can only work with other sources that supply power.

Wind power is a clean source of energy, meaning it produces electricity without harming the physical environment. But that isn’t to say that wind power doesn’t have an environmental impact. The large spinning blades（旋转刀片）of a wind turbine can be a disaster to birds and bats. The turbines also create noise pollution, which can be troublesome to people that live nearby.

Fortunately, wind turbines are particularly well suited for areas far from homes and cities. The large towers that provide the base for the wind turbines don’t take up a lot of space. Even large wind farms with lots of wind turbines can share land with farms and ranches（牧场）.

With all of the challenges of wind power, it obviously cannot be the only solution for clean energy production. But the advantages of wind power production shouldn’t be forgotten in the search for clean, renewable energy.

28. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Make sure of.  B. Run out of.  C. Get rid of.  D. Take advantage of.

29. What is a challenge of wind farms?

A. They may stop running periodically.  B. They damage bird’s living areas.

C. They are complex to operate.  D. They take up much farmland.

30. What’s the major function of paragraph 4?

A. To list potential challenges of wind turbines.

B. To present another advantage of wind turbines.

C. To indicate possible locations of wind turbines.

D. To provide evidence for the impact of wind turbines.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Wind Power: A Perfect Option

B. Wind Turbines: New Power Facilities

C. The Development and Application of Wind Energy

D. The Advantages and Challenges of Wind Energy

D

A diet high in fats and sugars actually affects the parts of the brain that are important to memory and makes people more likely to desire for unhealthful food, says American psychologist Terry Davidson.

Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.

Davidson realized these mice didn’t know they were full. He says something similar may happen in human brains when people eat a diet high in fat and sugar. If our brain system is damaged by that diet, that makes it harder for us to stop eating that diet.

The evidence is growing. In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.

Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity. For example, if the problem is that obese peopled diet degrades their memory, perhaps making peopled meals more memorable would help them eat less bad stuff. Previous researches showed that watching TV while eating will probably make people eat more, get hungry in the afternoon and eat more at dinner. So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.

32. What inspired Davidson’s new finding?

A. The growing popularity of unhealthy diet.  B. His former study on hippocampus.

C. His research on people’s eating habits.  D. The strange behaviour of the studied mice.

33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. A sense of hunger.  B. The similarity in brains.

C. The damage of brain.  D. A diet high in fat and sugar.

34. What are the subjects in Cheke’s study required to do?

A. Memorize the treasure locations.  B. Answer questions on their hiding task.

C. Chat on various computer sessions.  D. Conduct an experiment with obesity.

35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Possible approaches to targeting obesity.  B. The research’s contribution to brain science.

C. The link between obesity and memory.  D. Changes of people’s living habits.

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。

What is the Best Way to Learn a Language?

There is no “best” way to learn a language, because everyone learns slightly differently.    36   Here are some of the most frequent recommendations.

◆Watch foreign language TV and movies.

Not everyone has the opportunity to be exposed to the environment where the native language is spoken or to speak to native speakers. TV and movies offer a good chance to hear native speakers use the language.   37   Watching their movies and TV shows helps you better understand their culture.

◆Get out of your comfort zone.

This is a lesson for life, not just for learning a language! Get out there and do something that scares you. Talk to a foreigner in their language.   38    Write someone a message in their language. Whatever that zone is where you feel safe and relaxed and easy, get out of that zone because you can learn nothing from it. Push yourself and you’ll see that it’s not so bad in this world.

◆   39  

Don’t think of language as a tool, think of it as a musical instrument. When you learn three chords on guitar, you can play hundreds of songs. Words are the same. For example, take the word “real”, and look at its different forms: real, really, realise, realistic, realism, realist, unreal. . .

◆Make mistakes, it’s fine, it’s even great!

Shyness and fear of making mistakes is common. However, nobody cares if you make mistakes. When you speak a foreign language, everyone knows it’s not your mother tongue and they’re already impressed that you’re speaking it at all.   40  

A. Avoid making mistakes.

B. TV and movies solve that problem easily.

C. Don’t just memorize words, play with them.

D. Order food from a French restaurant in French.

E. Talk, make mistakes, fall down, get back up, that’s life.

F. Besides, learning a language is a doorway into another culture.

G. However, some methods appear to be more effective than others.

People often have a tough time dealing with their feelings of disappointment. That is when you should give them time and understanding and he or she just might come around before long.

I remember talking with my friend Avery about the coming school play Alices Adventure in Wonderland, which we both applied for. Avery had a talent for acting and she was anxious for playing Alice while for me I didn’t care what part I played as long as I would be in. However, when character list was posted, we were surprised to find that I got the part of Alice and Avery was chosen to act the rabbit. I guessed it was because I hadn’t been nervous at all during the audition（试演）, But that situation really didn’t occur to me.

Then I asked Avery, “Do you want to come over after school and we can practice our lines?”“You mean, practice yourlines?” Avery replied, not even looking at me. “No, thanks. I’m pretty busy this week. ” I continued to ask if it would be OK for next week but her answer was negative and full of anger.

That night at dinner, after my parents congratulated me on getting the lead role, they asked how I felt. “Well, I can’t understand. ” I said and told them about Avery’s reaction and I believed that she pretty much threw away our friendship.

“Hmm,” said my dad. “Arizona, don’t you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend?”“Dad’s right,” added my mom. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we feel envious（羡慕的）and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time and understanding. She’ll come around. ”

Over the next week, I did my best to give Avery some space. I practised my lines but I knew I needed some help since my voice was not expressive enough. Day by day, Avery’s attitude seemed softened. As the rehearsal（彩排）day was near, I made a decision.
