When pianist Zhang Jialin, a prfessr at the Central Cnservatry f Music in Beijing, was tasked in 2018 with selecting pieces fr the entrance exam fr the master’s prgram in vcal accmpaniment, he came acrss a hidden treasure: art sngs by the German cmpser Ellinr Valesby (1894 — 1969). The pieces were cmpsed using Chinese classical petry, and immediately sparked Zhang’s interest. Art sng is written fr sl vice and pian accmpaniment, and cmbines petry and music.
One f the pieces, Wave-washing Sand: Rain Murmurs Frm Acrss the Curtain, based n a pem by Li Yu — the last emperr f the Suthern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdms perid — captured Zhang’s imaginatin.
“I played it n the pian and was struck by its beauty,” he says. “The meldy was graceful, the harmny was delicate, and the verall feeling was s petic. It had a perfect level f difficulty — nt t easy, nr t hard — making it ideal fr the exam, and, mre imprtantly, unfamiliar enugh t ensure fairness fr the candidates.” As he dve deeper int Valesby’s wrk and the wrld f early Chinese art sngs, he uncvered a musical landscape full f frgtten masterpieces.
On March 8, he and his wife, singer Gan Lulu, released their new album, Treasures Frm the Past Century. It features nt nly cmpsitins by Valesby, but als by ntable Chinese cmpsers. The cuple perfrmed tracks frm the album at the Natinal Centre fr the Perfrming Arts in Beijing, sharing their rediscvery.
Zhang and Gan have been turing China since June 2023, perfrming and prmting the sngs. Their cncerts have been met with great enthusiasm. “Many peple are hearing these pieces fr the first time, but they are cmpletely attracted and they let the music take them n a jurney,” Gan says.
In bringing these early Chinese art sngs back t life, Zhang and Gan are nt just breathing new life int frgtten music — they are recnnecting listeners t a cultural heritage that has lng been verlked.

Accrding t a landmark study published in the jurnal Science, ttal butterfly abundance in the U. S. has declined by 22 percent acrss all species between 2000 and 2020. “This is a wake-up call. Peple shuld be seeing this number and being very, very cncerned, nt just abut butterflies, but abut the state f insects in general,” says Eliza Grames, a cnservatin bilgist at Binghamtn University in New Yrk and cauthr f the study.
Initially, Grames says she expected t see declines fr many species, but that nce all the data was expanded t cver the entire natin, she als expected t see enugh increases t wash ut the bad news. Unfrtunately, that was nt the case. “It’s kind f an verwhelming amunt f lss and decline,” she says.
Fr fear that yu think the widespread declines nly invlve a handful f little-knwn species that were already clse t extinctin, the scientists fund that 13 times as many butterfly species were in decline cmpared t thse that were increasing. Mre than 100 species saw drps greater than 50 percent ver the twenty-year time perid. This includes 22 species that have declined mre than 90 percent, including sme f the cmmnest and mst-lved species.
Scientists say the butterfly lsses can result frm many factrs, including habitat lss, climate change, and pesticide use. While climate change r agricultural pesticide use require big sciety shifts, there are sme things each f us can d t help butterflies.
“Because insects have shrt generatin spans, even mdest changes t the envirnment — such as planting native flwers r creating habitat — can have a huge impact n the ppulatin,” says Grames. “If yu’re imprving habitat fr elephants, let’s say, yu’re ging t be waiting decades befre yu see results f that,” she says. “If yu imprve habitats fr butterflies that can have ne t three generatins per year, yu’re ging t see a pretty immediate increase in ppulatin.”
“I think that’s ne f the mst ptimistic things,” says Grames. Butterflies “d have the ability t bunce back, if we put the effrt int cnservatin actins.”
8. In Paragraph 1, the authr presents ________.
A. a ppular beliefB. a wrrying warning
C. a cmmn-held viewD. a theretical assumptin
9. What can we infer frm Paragraph 3 abut the research?
A. The mst-lved species are extinct.

In a pineering achievement, scientists have successfully transfrmed light int a “superslid,” a state f matter that exhibits characteristics f bth slids and liquids in the meantime. This remarkable discvery, published in the jurnal Science, paves the way fr nvel advancements in cndensed-matter (凝聚态物) physics.
A superslid is a unique state f matter gverned by the principles f quantum mechanics. In this state, particles frm an rganized, crystal structure like a slid, yet they can mve freely and fluidly like a liquid withut stickness. The lack f stickness means that superslids can quickly pipe themselves ut f any cntainers.
Ordinary slids are typically static and d nt mve n their wn. Hwever, superslids pssess the ability t change directin and density based n particle interactins while still keeping an rderly netwrk structure. The frmatin f superslids requires extremely lw temperatures, usually clse t abslute zer (minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit r minus 273.15 degrees Celsius).
While superslids have been previusly created frm atmic gases, the recent research emplyed a nvel mechanism invlving “plaritn (极化子) “ systems. Plaritns are multiple particles frmed by the strng cupling f light and quasiparticles (准粒子) thrugh electrmagnetic interactins. These plaritns can cncentrate int the lwest pssible energy state, similar t certain atmic gases. Namely, light is cmbined with matter, and tgether, they can be cndensed int a superslid.
The study f superslids is crucial because it allws us t bserve the effects f tiny interactins between particles withut the interference f temperature. By examining the behavir and characteristics f superslids, we gain insights int the fundamental ways in which atms and particles are rganized. This knwledge helps us understand the wrld at a basic level.
With further research and develpment, superslids hld great ptential fr varius applicatins. They culd be used in quantum cmputing, supercnductrs, frictinless ils, and ptentially many ther applicatins that we have yet t imagine. The creatin f a superslid frm light represents a significant leap frward in this field.
12. What is a superslid accrding t the passage?
A. A state f matter that exists nly at extremely high temperatures.
B. A state f matter that is bth slid and liquid at the same time.
C. A state f matter that is cmpletely slid withut liquid prperties.

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：寒露是秋季的第五个节气，标志着从温和凉爽到冬季寒冷的逐渐变化。此处表示“一个逐渐的变化”，gradual以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：随着气温急剧下降，早晨的露水会凝结成霜，预示着未来更寒冷的日子。根据句意以及前文“As temperatures drp sharply, mrning dew freezes int frst”可知，此处表示“更寒冷的日子”，所以使用cld的比较级形式clder。故填clder。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：地区气候差异显著：中国东北进入深秋，北方地区开始进入冬季，而南方地区则迎来较凉爽的天气，气温降至20℃以下。空处为with复合结构，即“with+宾语+宾补”，drp与逻辑主语temperatures之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词作宾补。故填drpping。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：古代中国人将寒露分为三个阶段。空处为谓语动词，根据句意可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时，divide的过去式为divided。故填divided。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：第一个阶段是观察大雁南飞；第二个阶段幽默地提出，由于大雁和蛤蜊的标记和颜色相似，大雁“变成了”蛤蜊；第三个阶段则是庆祝金菊盛开——因此，寒露所在的农历月份被称为“菊花月”。gse为可数名词，且根据句意可知，此处指的是“大雁们”，所以使用复数形式geese。故填geese。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：第一个阶段是观察大雁南飞；第二个阶段幽默地提出，由于大雁和蛤蜊的标记和颜色相似，大雁“变成了”蛤蜊；第三个阶段则是庆祝金菊盛开——因此，寒露所在的农历月份被称为“菊花月”。空处为固定短语due t“由于”符合句意。故填t。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：茶爱好者们珍视在寒露开始到结束之间采摘的秋茶，因为它们具有独特的风味。空处为后置定语，harvest与逻辑主语autumn leaves之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式。故填harvested。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了缓解这些不适，调整饮食以防止干燥是至关重要的。空处为非谓语动词作状语，根据句意可知，此处表示目的，所以使用动词不定式形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填T ease。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：为了缓解这些不适，调整饮食以防止干燥是至关重要的。空处为名词作prevent的宾语，dry的名词为dryness，为不可数名词。故填dryness。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：寒露，以其凉爽的气温、绚烂的秋叶和丰富的传统习俗，不仅标志着从秋到冬的过渡，还邀请人们拥抱那些能够滋养身心之美的文化习俗。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词custms，指物，引导词在从句中作定语，所以使用关系代词whse引导该定语从句。故填whse。
