“Yu can try lying dwn,” said Wang Zhigang, chief curatr (策展人) f Huses f Heaven: Immersive (沉浸式虚拟现实的) Chinese Caissn Digital Art Exhibitin, t a girl visiting the shw in Beijing. The girl lay n the flr as a six-sided LED ceiling lit up abve her, prjecting vivid images f Qing Dynasty caissns, r zajing — fancy wden dme (穹顶) structures cmmnly fund in palaces and grand temples, famus fr their cmplex design.
“In real histric buildings, I always had t lift her nt my shulders, and even then, she still culdn’t see the caissn clearly,” the girl's mther said. “Here, she feels as if the whle ceiling is within her reach.”
Accrding t Wang, the twering height f caissns and the faint lighting in traditinal halls ften make the details difficult t see, leaving much f their artistry verlked. T change that, he led a team f yung cultural heritage specialists and turned t digital technlgy t bring these ancient designs clser t the public.
Accrding t Zhang Yuan, wh supervised the entire prcess frm research t digital recnstructin, the three-minute immersive display tk ne year and nine mnths t cmplete. She recalled the team’s fieldwrk in Shanxi Prvince. “Sme sites are restricted by ,” Zhang said. “We brught prfessinal laser scanners (激光扫描仪), but many banned large equipment fr safety reasns.” In thse cases, Zhang and her teammates had t phtgraph the sites as rdinary visitrs and later used phtgrammetry t build 3D mdels.
Cllecting the data was just the first step. Zhang nted that raw scans ften cntained lcal inaccuracies, requiring meticulus manual crrectin — a prcess she likened t “micr-sculpting”.
Fr 28-year-ld Iranian dctral student Puya Amani, wh grew up and studied in China, the prject drew n his interdisciplinary backgrund in design and cultural heritage. “Shifting frm traditinal exhibitins t immersive nes is a majr trend tday,” he said. “A shrt film with the right visuals can help internatinal audiences grasp the essence f caissns. China is full f culture. The key is finding subjects that translate well int the digital frm.”
24. What is the feature f the exhibitin?
A. It ffers interactive explratins f zajing.
B. It digitalizes the prcess f building zajing.
C. It allws visitrs t see zajing's details up clse.
D. It brings zajing t life thrugh the latest technlgy.
25. Which f the fllwing wrds best describes the fieldwrk f the team?
A. Dangerus. B. Challenging. C. Creative. D. Encuraging.
26. What des the underlined wrd “meticulus” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Thrugh. B. Extensive. C. Basic. D. Swift.
27. What is key t presenting Chinese culture digitally accrding t Puya Amani?
A. Fcusing n the majr trend. B. Chsing apprpriate subjects.
C. Targeting internatinal audiences. D. Turning t crss-subject methds.

After centuries f near-extinctin, Eurpe’s wlves have made a remarkable cmeback. In Denmark, the cmeback has been mre mdest. wlves disappeared frm Danish frests in 1813, when they were hunted t extinctin — remembered nly in stries and fairytales. In 2017, Denmark celebrated its first cnfirmed breeding pack in mre than 200 years. Tday, Denmark’s wlf ppulatin is estimated t be just ver 40. Yet even this small number has brught abut fierce debates ver livestck (牲畜) and public safety in Denmark — ne f Eurpe’s mst intensively (集约地) farmed cuntries.
Cnservatinists call wlves a “keystne species”. This means that because they naturally cntrl numbers f deer and ther prey their presence can allw frests and grasslands t recver. Yellwstne Park in the US is a prime example: After wlves were reintrduced, aspen and willw trees flurished fr the first time in decades.
But Denmark is nt Yellwstne. Its cuntryside is a cmbinatin f farms, twns and highways with small, heavily managed nature reserves. Whether wlves can restre “wild balance” here is uncertain. Indeed, fr sme farmers and rural residents, wlves are nt symbls f rewilding — they are real predatrs (捕食性动物), threatening livestck and livelihds.
Fear als plays a rle: Parents wrry abut their children walking in the frest, and dg wners wrry abut their pets. Statistically, wlf attacks n humans are extremely rare, yet perceived beliefs frequently vershadw facts.
Incidents in neighburing cuntries can add t the unease. Earlier this year, a wlf attacked a six-year-ld by in the Netherlands, a cuntry nt very far frm Denmark. And in Denmark this summer, tw yung bys wh had learnt the news spent hurs up a tree, as they thught a “vilent wlf” was nearby. The stry grabbed headlines, nly fr it t turn ut that the animal was actually a large dmestic cat.
Wlves have cme t represent much mre than just wildlife. They are symbls f envirnmental ideals and scietal perspectives. Fr plicymakers, understanding these perceptins is essential t achieving the delicate balance between species recvery and public acceptance.
28. Why des the authr mentin Yellwstne Park?
A. T shw wlves’ slw grwth in Denmark.
B. T illustrate wlves’ imprtant eclgical rle.
C. T indicate a trend f envirnmental prtectin.
D. T stress the necessity f similar parks in Denmark.
29. What is the rt f the cnflict ver wlves in Denmark?
A. Denmark has lng been wlf-free.
B. wlves’ ppulatins keep grwing.
C. The public fail t see the immediate benefits.
D. The cuntryside is dminated by human activities.
30. What pint des the “vilent wlf” stry make?
A. Fear can utweigh facts. B. wlves are a cmmn threat.
C. Big cats may be mistaken fr wlves. D. Children need mre safety educatin.
31. What is the authr’s suggestin t plicymakers?
A. T relcate wlves t avid human-wlf cnflicts.
B. T priritize public cncerns ver unpleasant facts.
C. T enhance safety measures t reduce wlves’ threats.
D. T fully appreciate the cmplexity f public cncerns.

As a perfect example f cntradictry ideas, “bareft shes” is in a class f its wn. Otherwise referred t as “minimalist ftwear”, these shes are designed t reprduce the experience f nt wearing shes. By returning t smething clser t the bareft experience, the argument ges, runners can imprve their health and reduce injuries.
Evlutin (进化论) is ne line f argument. After all, humans have been running bareft fr millins f years. Mdern trainers, with their cushined sles (缓冲鞋底), chunky (厚实的) heels and arch supprts, date back nly t the 1970s.
Supprters f bareft shes argue that mdern ftwear makes runners’ feet weak. Fr example, ver 75% f athletes wearing cnventinal shes use a rearft strike — where the heel hits the grund first. Fr bareft runners, r thse in minimalist shes, the numbers are 40% and 67% respectively. The difference is largely because f the she design. Chunkier heels hit the grund earlier and a cushined sle prtects the heel frm the therwise painful impact f a rearft strike. Bareft runners rely n the ft’s inbuilt suspensin system t reduce that impact.
Such slight changes t the mechanics f running can have big effects n the bdy. One small study in 2021 fund that six mnths f wearing minimalist ftwear can increase te-muscle (脚趾肌肉 ) strength by 57%. Anther, frm 2018, reprted a 40% increase in just eight weeks. Thse accustmed t walking and running bareft — such as the Kalenjin tribe in Kenya— have thicker ft muscles and imprved ankle mbility.
Supprters say that running in bareft shes shuld therefre mean fewer injuries. But n study has yet cnfirmed that. The evidence, bth fr and against, is incnclusive, with mst studies examining nly small numbers f peple. Sme scientists wrry abut increased lads n the ankle. Others suggest bareft running may actually increase rates f injury, particularly n hard surfaces, r if the switch ccurs t quickly. One ten-week study fund almst half f runners switching t bareft shes shwed signs f a fluid build-up ften caused by stress n the ft. “The mst imprtant thing,” says Ali Ghz, a surgen at the Lndn Clinic, “is a gradual intrductin.”
32. Why d mst runners in cnventinal shes use a rearft strike?
A. It helps t strengthen te muscles.
B. It is encuraged by the she design.
C. It is the mst cmfrtable running style.
D. It is widely adpted by bareft runners.
33. What risk may cme with bareft shes?
A. Mre heel strikes. B. Weaker ankle jints.
C. T much ankle lad. D. Fluid shrtage in feet.
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards bareft shes?
A. Strngly supprtive. B. Slightly dubtful.
C. Fairly balanced. D. Purely negative.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Are bareft shes gd fr runners?
B. Why d mdern trainers cause weak feet?
C Hw t avid injuries when running bareft?
D. Des the transitin t bareft shes take lnger?

It was a cld December mrning, the last day befre winter break. My high schl class was filled with excitement. T add a bit f cheer, I rganized a small celebratin, bringing in a handful f clrful ballns t decrate the classrm. Fr me, in fact, the hliday seasn carried a bit f sadness.

Sme mice ran 30 kilmeters a day and the average was 22kilmeters. What did mice get frm this exercise? Well, when they engaged in the running, the prductin f BDNF, a prtein that prmtes the grwth and survival f nerve cells, increased. As a result, their brains grew in size by an average f 13%. That’s a lt f new brain!

Suddenly, I remembered the ther ballns in my car and an idea ccurred t me. “Sam, wuld yu like t help me give ut these ballns t the ther residents here?” I asked. “That wuld be wnderful” he exclaimed, getting up with a bit mre energy. Tgether, we walked thrugh the cmmunity center, handing ut ballns and sharing stries with the senirs. Their smiles were a witness t the simple jy f human cnnectin. As the evening drew t a clse, Sam and I sat back dwn n the bench, a little tired but happy. “Yu’ve given us all a precius gift tday,” he said. “I hpe yu’ll cme back sn.”
Frm that day n, I visited the Senir Citizens’ Haven regularly. Each time I arrived, Sam and all the ther senirs wuld be waiting eagerly at the entrance, a brad smile n their faces. I brught nt just ballns but als laughter, stries, and sme self-made treats. Seeing their jy, I started encuraging thers t vlunteer here. Then, mre and mre shwed up and jined me, filling the space with a newfund energy and warmth. I realized that a small act culd brighten many lives, and I’d keep spreading this warmth and cnnecting mre hearts.
