Researchers in Australia and the US are working on a project to bring the thylacine（袋狼）back from extinction, the last one of which died in the 1930s.

The team say it can be recreated using stem cells and gene—editing technology, and the first thylacine could be reintroduced to the wild in 10 years’ time. The group of Australian and US scientists plan to take stem cells from a living marsupial（有袋动物）species with similar DNA, and then use gene—editing technology to “bring back” the extinct species or an extremely similar one. It would represent a remarkable achievement for the researchers attempting it, and require a number of scientific breakthroughs. “I now believe that in 10 years’ time we could have our first living baby thylacine since they were hunted to extinction close to a century ago,” said Professor Andrew Pask, who is leading the research from the University of Melbourne.

The population of thylacine declined when humans arrived in Australia tens of thousands of years ago, and again when dingoes, a species of wild dog, appeared. Eventually, the thylacine could only be found on the island of Tasmania, and was ultimately hunted to extinction.

The idea of bringing back the thylacine has been around for more than 20 years. In 1999, the Australian Museum started to pursue a project to clone the animal; and various attempts have been made ever since to gain or rebuild DNA from samples, which is capable of surviving and developing.

This latest project is a partnership between University of Melbourne and Texas—based company Colossal, which made headlines last year with its plans to use similar gene editing technology to bring mammoth（猛犸象）back to life technology yet to become reality.

Many outside experts are rather dubious about the science behind it, suggesting de—extinction（物种复活）is just science fiction. But if scientists were to succeed in bringing back the thylacine, it would mark the first “de—extinction” event in history.

11. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? （    ）

A. The thylacine became extinct a decade ago.

B. Scientists will take stem cells from a thylacine.

C. Gene—editing technology is needed to recreate the thylacine.

D. The thylacine can be recreated with the existing technologies.

12. The last thylacine was seen ______.（    ）

A. in Tasmania B. in Texas C. in Melbourne D. in the Australian Museum

13. What does the underlined word “dubious” in the last paragraph mean? （    ）

A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Ambitious,

B

Pieter Bruegel’s iconic 1565 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work shows people harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were. “Nowadays, however, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see that wheat is about knee—height. The reduced height is essentially a consequence of breeding（培育）along with genes for increasing production to feed a growing population,” biologist De Smet explained.

De Smet says wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to track the transformation of food crops over time. He teamed up with art historian Vergauwen, a friend since childhood, to document such artwork around the world. They have been mainly looking at things where they can spot changes in shape, color and size.

Their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum, where they noticed an odd—looking watermelon in an early—17th—century painting. It appeared to be pale and white on the inside. Biologist De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea. “No, this is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he painted it like that, that’s the way it must have looked like,” he explained.

Other paintings revealed that both red and white watermelons were grown during the 17th century. “With all the genetic knowledge we now have, we can look in more detail how something comes about,” De Smet said. “For example, until the 18th century, European strawberries appeared tiny in paintings—they then grew in size as they were crossbred（杂交）with North American varieties.”

Ultimately, the team hopes to create an online research database of historical plant artwork. They seek the contributions of art enthusiasts around the world via the social media. “However,” Vergauwen reminds, “if you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to try and understand how a pear looked in the early 20th century, you might be misled.”

14. What can we learn about the painting The Harvesters? （    ）

A. It shows how people successfully grew wheat.

B. It proves that wheat was much shorter in the past.

C. It explains the consequence of different breeding methods.

D. It gives clues about bow wheat in the 16th century looked like.

15. What inspired De Smet and Vergauwen to research the transformation of food crops over time? （    ）

A. Their preference for food crops.

B. Their friendship since childhood.

C. Their divided views on an old painting.

D. Their shared interest in the Hermitage Museum.

16. What can we infer from Vergauwen’s words in the last paragraph? （    ）

A. Ant enthusiasts are not careful enough. B. The source paintings need to be realistic.

C. Abstract paintings often mislead people. D. Picasso’s paintings are hard to understand.

C

Australian film star Hugh Jackman explains how his now film, The Son, has changed him, which is critical to his life.

Jackman has never fully managed a character like his now film, The Son. It is based on a 2018 play by Florian Zeller, who previously entered the film industry with another work, The Father. While this involves Alzheimer’s, it looks at another mental health issue. Jackman plays Peter, a workaholic divorcee whose world falls apart when his adolescent son begins to suffer from depression.

Jackman’s performance deserves a second Oscar nomination in his career. “I think what interests me most about Peter is that it’s important for him to feel like a strong and capable person,” Jackman said. “And that makes it harder for him to admit that maybe he’s not equipped and maybe he doesn’t know what to do. Some of the guilt of leaving home, which is not resolved, makes him more determined to be the one who can solve the problem, to save his son—to be a father whose father is not.”

To say that the film goes deep into Jackman’s skin is an understatement. “I think it still works in me because we talk about it, relive it and understand it,” he admitted. “When I watch it, I find myself very emotional. I’m not just talking about stories. I think it’s a process that requires a jot of trust and revelation（揭露）.”

Jackman admits the film changed his attitude towards mental health. He began receiving treatment during filming—an indoor cleanup that most middle—aged people can probably do. It also reshaped his own relationship with his children. Jackman and his wife adopted a son, Oscar (now 22) and daughter, Ava (17). “I’ve not been the same since I made this film,” he said. “I’m more open about my weakness with them, with my kids.”

17. What can we learn about Jackman according to paragraph 2? （    ）

A. He is a workaholic divorce.

B. His son suffers from depression.

C. He entered the film industry with The Father.

D. He completely handled the character in The Son.

18. Why does Jackman feel interested about the character Peter? （    ）

A. Because the character Peter is strong and capable.

B. Because the character Peter suffers inner struggle.

C. Because the character Peter can help him win an Oscar nomination.

D. Because like the character Peter, he is also guilty of leaving home.

19. How did the film, The Son, influence Jackman? （    ）

A. He paid more attention to his own mental health.

B. He spent more time on the cleaning of his home.

C. He decided to adopt a son and a daughter.

D. He could accept his children’s weakness better.

20. Where does this text probably come from? （    ）

A. A science report.  B. A museum guide.

C. An entertainment magazine. D. A history textbook.

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。

You know the feeling: every time you have to read a textbook or review for a test, you start thinking of a million things that you’d rather be doing—like skydiving, or watching TV.    26   .

Get interested in the topic. Interest is the key clement. To be able to dive into the more detailed and more challenging aspects of any topic, you can’t jump straight into the minute details.    27   . Nobody goes digging through History and Theory of Architecture unless they’re interested in building something in a video game.

Get a study partner. Studying with a partner is great for making the act of studying less of a drag.    28   . You might distract each other and then it leads to procrastination（拖延）. For example, during my freshman year, I tried to study with my roommate. But all we ended up doing was opening up an online game. Besides, If you have some supper—smart study partners, they will do all the assignments and then you won’t learn anything.

Change your environment. Having an environment that’s helpful to focus can make you enjoy your work. One tip is to add in things that you enjoy. For example, I have a Carefully selected Study Music Playlist that I use for when I need to focus: Another thing you can try is to go to your favorite Coffee shop or your own secret spot in the library when you need to study.    29   .

   30   . Your motivation to complete a task is partly dependent on the reward you’ll get for doing it. While rewards may come in the form of big returns, rewards can also mean smaller like having candies. One thing to note is that it’s important to pre—plan your rewards because rewards are much more motivating this way because they build anticipation.

A. Instead, you have to be excited about it first.

B. Get motivated from the desire to learn better.

C. Create pre—planned rewards for studying.

D. The key with study partners is to find someone who stays on task.

E. Personally, I’ve also found that having a good drink next to me helps a tot.

F. So today, we’ll be covering some tricks you can use to make studying more fun.

G. At the same time, though, there are two main points of failure that you have to watch out for.
