Shrtly after Gustav Klimt, a renwned Austrian symblist painter, died in 1918, a phtgraph was taken in the artist’s studi, It shws tw paintings, each displayed n an easel: Lady with Fan and the unfinished wrk The Bride.
Lady with Fan was the last painting Klimt wrked n during the year 1917. While mst f his prtraits paint sciety ladies, Klimt prbably chse an unknwn mdel here. In the appealing presentatin f this unidentified wman, prbably a dancer, she appears self-cnfident and assured. With her head held high, her shulders expsed, and her bare breast cvered by a fan, she gazes ut beynd the viewer.
Klimt began studying East-Asian art as early as the 1890s. Initially, he was primarily interested in Japanese art, but in later years turned t Chinese, Krean, Persian, r Indian creative styles. Klimt adpted nt nly decrative elements frm the art f these cuntries but als cmpsitinal aspects. He studied typical clr schemes, fr example, and transferred them int his paintings.
Lady with Fan was especially influenced by Chinese and Japanese art. Wrapped in a Chinese rbe, the lady hides behind a decrated fan. The yellw wallpaper in the
backgrund features several characteristic patterns that are symbls f gd frtune in East-Asian art: the Chinese phenix (fenghuang), a crane, and the ltus flwer. Anther reference t Japanese painting is the lady with a fan herself: bijin-ga, Japanese wdblck prtraits f beautiful celebrities.
Like Schiele, Kkschka, and ther artists frm his circle, Klimt was a member f the Vienna Institute fr Cultural Research. Funded in 1915,the institutin advcated a peaceful, equal wrld culture and rejected the idea f the cultural. superirity f the West, a cncept widespread at the time. Klimt’s paintings cnvey his belief: Eurpean and Asian pictrial traditins are brught tgether in equal measure t frm a harmnius symbisis(共生).
24. What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A. Details f Lady with Fan. B. Appearance f the painter.
C. Recmmendatin f a mdel. D. Cmparisn f tw styles.
25. What can we infer abut Gustav Klimt accrding t the passage?
A. Lady with Fan was his greatest wrk.
B. He shwed little interest in western art.
C. He was familiar with East-Asian cultural elements.
D. He applied varius techniques f western art t all his wrks.
26. What message d Gustav Klimt’s paintings cnvey?
A. Prmting mdern art. B. Prtecting western cultures.
C. Strengthening scial bnds. D. Appealing fr culture equality.
27. Where is this passage mst likely frm?
A. An art jurnal. B. A science magazine. C. A news reprt. D. A travel guide.

Heidi Tai, c-funder f Tangara Blue Fundatin , an rganizatin cmmitted t beach cleaning , was puzzled when she and her teammates started finding strange
tire shaped capsules washed ashre alng the Cape Yrk cast, near Australia’s nrtheastern tip. But Tait eventually cnnected with Satlink- a Spanish satellite cmmunicatins cmpany. Satlink’s CPS-enabled buys(浮标), the nes the beach cleaners Kept finding, help cmmercial fishers track their nets, lines etc. Tait had a brainwave that wuld see the buys nt just recycled but reused.
Fr mre than a decade, bat crews wrking farther west, in Australia’s Gulf f Carpentaria, had been telling Tait abut hw abandned fishing nets were circling the gulf, hurting sea creatures. These s-called ghst(幽灵）nets had either brken free frm cmmercial fishing bats and gtten lst, r were cut lse by fishers after getting caught n rcks. Weighing a few tnnes each, the nets that bat crews had chanced upn in the gulf were ften t big fr them t pull ut f the water. They’d typically reprt the finds t the authrities, but by the time anyne with an apprpriately equipped bat culd head ut t get ne, the mass f messy rpe had ften gne frm sight.
Hwever, nce ne f the GPS-enabled buys is attached, it sends its lcatin every few hurs t a website, which lets Tangara Blue Fundatin mnitr the nets’ mvements and warns the rganizatin f danger. S far, the reused GPS trackers have helped Tangara Blue Fundatin recver three ghst nets frm Australian waters.
Tangara Blue Fundatin’s idea t track ghst nets isn’t entirely new; researchers with the Cmmnwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisatin(CSIRO), Australia’s natinal science agency suggested it a decade ag. Taking the idea n bard, the authrities tried using battery-pwered trackers t mnitr a few ghst nets. Tangara Blue Fundatin’s apprach differs in that its recycled buys are slar-pwered and require less upkeep.
28. What were the tire-shaped capsules riginally used fr?
A. Remving beach waste. B. Recycling vehicle tires.
C. Lcating fishing equipment. D. Strengthening satellite signals.
29. What des the authr intend t d in paragrap2?
A. Illustrate a future pssibility. B. Describe a technical prcess.
C. Present a practical slutin. D Frame a prblem cntext.
30. Hw d Tangara Blue Fundatin’s buys utperfrm(胜过)earlier trackers?
A. They need less maintenance. B. They mnitr brader regins.
C. They receive gvernment funding. D. They prvide precise tracking data.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Turning Waste int Treasure: A Slutin t Ghst Nets
B. Fighting Threats: The Hidden Harm f Ghst Nets
C. Financing Change: Innvative Ocean Cleanup Plans
D. Prtecting Seas frm Waste: An Activist f Cnservatin

If yu ever feel that the wrld is against yu, yu are nt alne. We all have a tendency t assume that when anything ges wrng, the fault lies in sme great intrigue (诡计)against us. If a c-wrker fails t meet the deadline, he must be trying t beat yu t a prmtin. When Wi-Fi in a cffee shp is nt wrking, the staff must
be lying abut having it just t attract yu in.
But the fact is that the simple cnclusins, which we tend t jump t, are barely
true. Maybe yur cwrker thught tday was Tuesday, nt Wednesday. Maybe the Wi-Fi just went wrng. This is where Hanln’s razr(剃须刀) wrks - a useful mental mdel that ne shuld never cnsider what can be fully explained by neglect(疏忽)as ding harm n purpse.
Applying Hanln’s razr, a helpful tl fr rapid decisin-making and cmprehensin, in ur daily lives makes us less judgmental, and imprves ur reasning skills. Meanwhile, Hanln’s razr allws us t have mre empathy(同感)and teaches us nt t assume the wrst intentin in the actins f thers, the value f which is mst reflected in relatinships, business matters, and persnal happiness.
We all lead cmplex lives where things are cnstantly ging wrng. When this ccurs, a cmmn respnse is t blame the nearest persn and assume they have bad intentin. When smene messes up arund us we frget hw many times we, t, have dne the same. Instead, the perpetratr becmes a surce f intense annyance.
T assume intentin in such a situatin is likely t wrsen the prblem. Nne f us can ever knw what smene else wants. Inability r neglect is far mre likely t be the genuine cause than the desire t hurt. When a situatin annys us, it can be valuable t cnsider if thse emtins are necessary. Often, the best way t react t ther peple causing us prblems is by seeking t cmmunicate with them, nt t dismiss them. In this way, we can avid a repeat f the same situatin.
32. What can we learn abut Hanln’s razr?
A. It is a way t slve clleagues prblems. B. It avids taking neglect as intentinal harm
C. It is a device fr restring Wi-Fi cnnectinD. It identifies wh is respnsible fr mistakes.
33. What d we usually d when things fail?
A. We turn t trustwrthy persns. B. We change current situatins.
C. We deal with negative emtins. D. We misjudge thers’ intentin.
34. What des the underlined “the perpetratr” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The mind reader. B. The errr makerC. The prblem slver. D. The event planner.
35. What’s suggested when thers cause prblems?
A. Lsing temper with them. B. Putting them n the spt.
C. Exchanging ideas with them. D. Turning a blind eye t them.

Teaching English language learners (ELL) presents challenges, especially in helping students build academic skills and adjust t a new envirnment. 36 This apprach encurages self-expressin, supprts teamwrk and helps them cnnect persnally t the learning prcess.
The unit can begin by engaging students in a discussin abut gardening. Display tls such as pts, sil, watering cans, and trwels. Let students handle the tls and ask questins abut their purpse. 37 This allws students t relate persnally t the tpic, as many have sme cnnectin t gardening, whether thrugh family r favrite plants.
38 Ensure that each student has the materials they need. Repurpse husehld items if necessary. Students can be divided int grups, where they can supprt ne anther as they care fr their plants. Cnversatin tpics such as “Why d
plants?” r “What d plants need t grw?” can be used t guide discussins within the grups.
As the plants grw, it’s imprtant t teach students abut the plant life cycle. Remind them that grwth may nt always be visible immediately, but changes are happening beneath the sil. 39 Students can measure their plants, make bservatins, and reflect n. their experiences n their jurnals. Additinally, they culd research plants frm their hme cuntries and learn abut their cultural significance.
In the final stages f the unit, students can plant their plants in the schl garden. 40 This marks the plants’ grwth and the students’ develpment, bth individually and as part f a larger cmmunity.
Incrprating gardening int the classrm nt nly teaches students abut plants but als helps with language develpment, understanding thers, and a sense f cmmunity.
A. Invite them t share their experiences with gardening.
B. A useful way t address these challenges is thrugh a gardening unit.
C. Tracking plant grwth thrugh a jurnal is an essential part f this unit.
D. Alternatively, they can chse t share them with thers in the cmmunity.
E. Subscribing t jurnals related t gardening can deepen students’ understanding f it.
F. T supprt language develpment, the apprach t translanguaging can be intrduced.

The Silk Rad(44 3WZI) was an ancient netwrk f trade rutes cnnecting China with the West. Beginning in the ancient Chinese capitals f Chang’an and Luyang, the rutes stretched ver 4000 miles t the Mediterranean Sea(It Fi). The mst western pint was in Antich, ne f the fur great cities f the Rman Empire. Chinese silk, tea, china and later, wrld-changing inventins such as paper and gunpwder, were exprted t the west. In return, western natins traded gds such as wl, glass, hney, wine, gld, and China’s mst prized imprt-hrses. (18) As the Rman Empire gradually lst pwer in Asia, the rute became dangerus t travel n. Hwever, trade imprved again during the 13th and 14th centuries. (19) The Silk Rad was nt just used fr trading, but t share ideas and beliefs. In all, the rute was in use fr mre than 1500 years, ending in 1453, when the Ottman Empire (奥斯曼帝国) clsed ff western trade. (20) Hwever, parts f the Silk Rad still exist tday. It als inspired mdern China’s Belt and Rad Initiative (—Hi—F).
