The British Museum’s rich cllectin f ancient Chinese paintings has attracted many visitrs. At the heart f this preservatin and revival f Chinese art histry is senir cnservatr (文物修复员) Qiu Jinxian.
Janna Ksek, head f Pictrial Art Cnservatin at the British Museum, tld the Times Publicatins that Qiu is cnsidered ne f the museum’s mst priceless treasures. “We let the treasure treat the treasure,” Ksek said.
In 1987, Qiu was intrduced t Mrs. Jessica Rawsn, directr f the British Museum. At the time the museum lacked cnservatrs specializing in ancient Chinese art. The Chinese ancient paintings and cultural relics in the museum were largely repaired by Japanese and British methds, which were unsuitable fr Chinese artwrks. As a result, many pieces remained in strage, hidden frm public view.
Just befre Christmas in 1987, Qiu had her first appintment at the British Museum. She was asked t repair a fire-damaged scrll by Fu Bashi. Qiu’s methds, which included washing with warm water t separate the glue in rder t repair the paper, stunned peple n the spt. Sme bservers even gt ut the camera t recrd her methds as they’d never seen this way f restring ancient art. Mrs. Rawsn, amazed by Qiu Jinxian’s incredible skills, immediately invited Qiu t jin the British Museum.
Chinese ancient paintings are ntriusly difficult t repair because f their large size, cmplex materials, diverse clrs, and rich cmpsitin. The mst imprtant thing is t understand the lng histry, meaning and culture behind the painting. Repair is an extremely time and energy intensive prcess. Each painting nrmally takes several mnths frm cleaning t restratin and drying. Since 1987, Qiu has repaired mre than 400 artwrks.
Qiu tld the media that she is very prud f her wrk. She wants mre peple t understand and appreciate Chinese histry and culture thrugh art. Althugh the artwrks riginated frm China, they nw belng t the peple f the wrld.

A．She restred the Chinese scrll successfully.
B．She is the nly Chinese cnservatr there.
C．She understands Chinese histry cmprehensively.
D．She pssesses special skills in repairing the treasures.
5．What des the underlined wrd “stunned” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A．Tuched.B．Inspired.C．Shcked.D．Impacted.
6．What matters mst fr repairing Chinese artwrks?
A．Strng determinatin.B．Incredible painting skills.

Sky Kurtz farms in the desert. The c-funder and CEO f Pure Harvest Smart Farms-lcated utside Abu Dhabi, where temperatures regularly tp 113°F-and his team use the challenging envirns (周围地区) t trial new crps and technlgies that have the ptential t change farming in climate-challenged areas. Pure Harvest als prvides prduce t supermarkets and restaurants in Dubai and acrss the regin using less water, which is imprtant in ne f the driest regins f the wrld.
Kurtz funded Pure Harvest Smart Farms in 2017 with his c-funders Mahmud Adi and Rbert Kupstas. The funders’ research and technlgical innvatin led t the develpment f a prprietary (专营的) Cntrlled-Envirnment Agriculture (CEA) system-a cmbinatin f high-tech greenhuses and vertical farms that prvides a stable year-rund climate. The first crp f tmates was planted in August 2018 and harvested in Octber. The cmpany’s riginal farm is nw its Research & Develpment (R&D) facility, and Pure Harvest has expanded its facilities in the UAE t 16 hectares f grwing area. It als perates a 6-hectare farm in Saudi Arabia, and is develping a 6-hectare farm in Kuwait.
It nw prduces 14 types f leafy greens; tw varieties f strawberries, with seven mre being develped; and almst 30 varieties f tmates. With limited availability f lcal, seasnal prduce, the UAE has typically imprted much f its fd, ften by air, which cmes at a high cst, bth ecnmically and envirnmentally. And while they are mre expensive cmpared with lcally grwn seasnal prduce, cmpany says its fruit and vegetables are typically up t 60% cheaper than prducts imprted by air f cmparable quality.
Their visin fits in with a wider gal fr Dubai t becme mre self-sufficient, and they have a desire t use their R&D t help deal with the impacts that climate change is already having n the fd industry in the Gulf regin and beynd. Kurtz hpes the cmpany’s data-driven technlgy can becme a mdel fr ther regins that are experiencing climate difficulty.
8．Why did Kurtz fund Pure Harvest Smart Farms?
A．T use the challenging regin.B．T save water during farming.
C．T test new crps and technlgies.D．T supply lcal agricultural prducts.
9．What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A．The expansin f R&D facility.B．The harvest f rganic tmates.
C．The establishment f CEA system.D．The develpment f Pure Harvest.
10．What can be inferred frm the third paragraph?
A．Fd imprts in UAE are by n means cstly.
B．Pure Harvest never pursues its prduce diversity.
C．The cmpany’s prduce enjys its wn advantages.
D．Lcal seasnal prduce in UAE is in sufficient supply
11．What des Kurtz expect f the technlgy?
A．An apprach t earning high prfits.B．A pattern fr areas with climate stress.
C．A case f imprving scientific research.D．A mdel fr the high-end market in dry areas.
A blind fish living in the deep darkness f a Mexican cave system still maintains sme ability t sense light. As the cavefish n lnger seem t rely n an internal daily cycle and sme sleep very little, bilgist Inga Steindal and her team were keen t see if their bdies can still regulate cyclically thrugh time. Mst animals n Earth have a circadian rhythm-an internal clck influenced by light levels-that helps crdinate behavirs like hunger with ur planet’s day and night cycles.
The Mexican blind cavefish live in a cmplex f ver 30 islated caves, within which they have each independently adapted t the dark. Their bdies are extra sensitive t vibratins, allwing them t sense changes in water currents fr navigatin in cmpensatin fr their limited r cmplete lack f sight. This adaptatin ccurred despite the fish frm each cave evlving frm the same species with fully functining eyes. This ancestral grup still lives in the surface waters in the El Albra regin f Mexic and parts f the Suthwestern US.
Steindal’s team tk tissue samples frm blind cavefish, frm three islated caves, and their surface relatives and tested the cells in different cnditins. They detected that even cavefish cells, thugh less respnsive than surface fish cells, activated several mlecular (分子的) clck mechanisms (机制) when expsed t light. “Nn-visual light detectin is maintained at a fundamental cell-based level,” the researchers explained. While there were sme similarities between the fish frm the different caves cmpared t their surface relatives, differences in the bilgical clck mechanisms amng fish frm different caves further cnfirm that each grup independently evlved its adaptatins.
“We have prvided prf that despite being blind, cells frm the Mexican blind cavefish can detect light and make their clcks fit in with a light/dark cycle,” Steindal cncluded. The team hpes these findings will prvide insights int the circadian rhythm and ffer a mdel fr studying animal adaptatins t dark envirnments.
12．What did Steindal and her clleagues want t find ut?
A．Whether the cavefish need sleep.
B．Whether the cavefish can sense light.
C．Whether the cavefish have a circadian rhythm
D．Whether the cavefish depend n an internal daily cycle.
13．Hw d Mexican blind cavefish adapt t living in darkness?
A．By increasing their sleep cycles.B．By relying n surface fish fr navigatin.
C．By develping extra sensitivity t vibratins.D．By emplying their circadian rhythms t find fd.
14．Which f the fllwing is NOT a feature f Mexican blind cavefish?
A．Extra sensitivity t vibratins in water currents.
B．A cmplete lss f their mlecular clck mechanisms.
C．Limited r n visin due t their dark envirnment.
D．Adaptatins that evlved independently in different caves.
15．What can be the best title fr the text?
A．Light Detectin in Blind CavefishB．Evlutin f Vibratinal Sensitivity
C．Circadian Rhythms in Surface FishD．Survival Strategies in Mexican Caves
Sme peple have faith in an afternn nap, whether it’s t catch up n lst sleep r t help them feel mre alert fr the afternn ahead. 16
Napping is a great way t feel mre rested and alert, and sme research shws that it can benefit ur cgnitive. (认知的) functin. 17 f yu need t be alert right after waking up, s-called “pwer naps” f 10-30 minutes are recmmended. Lnger naps may cause sme initial tiredness, thugh they keep sleepiness at bay lnger.
18 Fr example, they imprve activatin f the hipp-campus, an area f the brain imprtant fr learning and memry. A ne-t-tw-hur afternn nap is shwn t benefit bth yur mtr skills and yur ability t recall facts and events.
A recent study frm China even suggested that regular afternn napping may bst cgnitive functin in lder adults. The researchers asked 2,200 ver-70s abut their napping habits and tested their memry and language skills. They fund that habitual nappers were less likely t have cgnitive impairments (损害) than thse wh didn’t. 19 But nap length may play a rle here. A similar study shwed that thse wh usually napped fr 30-90 minutes had better verall cgnitin cmpared t thse wh napped fr lnger r shrter, r wh didn’t nap at all.
20 . It’s pssible that napping helps the brain clean up sleep-inducing waste prducts that wuld therwise slw dwn brain activity, and that they refuel the brain’s energy stres. Shrt naps may als help imprve yur attentin by letting particularly sleepy areas f the brain recver, thereby preventing instability in the brain’s netwrks.
A．This was true regardless f age r level f educatin.
B．Many f us may feel we lack time fr a nap.
C．Why shrt naps are beneficial fr alertness and fcus are nt well understd.
D．Hwever, yu may cnsider hw lng yu have t sleep befre yur midday nap.
E．While shrt naps bst energy, lnger naps aid restratin and learning.
F．Lnger sleep als reduces unimprtant cnnectins.
G．Winstn Churchill, Albert Einstein and Lenard Da Vinci were all famus nappers.

My senir year f high schl was a whirlwind (旋流) f chas.

The next day was miserable as well, rain spilling frm the sky. The drive-thru was busier than ever. I spent hurs passing rders thrugh the windw, drenched (湿透) frm the rain while custmers stayed czy in their temperature-cntrlled cars. N ne seemed t ntice hw hard I was wrking. On tp f that, the tip jar stayed nearly empty! By late afternn. I grew mre depressed.
