When we pass thrugh an art gallery, what determines ur idea f beauty? While it is ften said that beauty is in the eye f the behlder (观看者), this is nt the whle stry. When lking at paintings, we dn’t judge each ne n its wn wrth. Instead, we carry a bias (偏向), accrding t a new study by researchers frm the University f Sydney.
Led by PhD student Ms. Sujin Kim, the research invlved a series f 40 paintings presented t 24 bservers. The participants were asked t rate the artistic beauty f each painting n a screen. The paintings described scenery r still life. The first questin the 24 bservers were asked t respnd t was whether they rated each painting independently f what they had just seen. T d this, the series f paintings was presented 20 times with each run having a different rder. In this way, a given painting was rated 20 times. The data was clear: the bservers didn’t rate each painting cnsistently (一致地) but were biased by what they had just seen?
“Many peple suppse a kind f ‘cntrast effect’ whereby a painting may lk mre attractive if it fllws an unattractive painting,” Prfessr Alais said. “The surprising result was that the bias was a psitive ne: paintings were rated higher fllwing an attractive painting, r lwer, fllwing unattractive nes.”
The research refers t this effect as “serial dependence”, which describes a systemic bias twards the recent past experience. Previus studies have fund that many types f input including directin, facial expressin and attractiveness are systematically biased by recent past experience. This has ptential applicatins in varius fields where the rder f presentatin can impact cnsumer preferences.
“Perhaps art gallery managers have knwn all alng abut the bias twards the recent past,” Prfessr Alais said. “They ften keep the best pieces fr the last and build up t it. Our study shws this wuld ensure an accumulating (积累的) effect and guarantee a big finish.”
8. What factr mst likely influenced the bservers’ rating f paintings in the study?
A. The rating times. B. The neighbring viewers.
C. The types f the paintings. D. The paintings’ arrangement.
9. Which example agrees with the psitive bias mentined by Prfessr Alais?
A. Buy a prduct mainly due t psitive reviews.
B. Cnsider a physically attractive persn smart t.
C. Enjy the sng that fllws a nice ne at a cncert.
D. Judge a persn’s character based n the first impressin.
10. What is Prfessr Alais’s attitude twards the art galleries’ cmmn practice?
A. Favrable. B. Disapprving. C. Cnfused. D. Unclear.
11. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. The tricks fr hsting valuable exhibitins
B. Serial dependence: a new lk at artistic beauty
C. The elements f being a skillful art appreciatr
D. Artistic creatin: an expressin f the self and reality

In the classic mirrr test, an animal is marked n an area f the bdy by scientists and then placed befre a mirrr. If the animal tuches r explres the mark, it is taken as an indicatin that it regards the reflected image as an image f itself, rather than f anther animal.
Nw, scientists have carried ut the experiment with tw species f snakes: 18 African ball pythns and 36 eastern garter snakes. Because f snakes’ pr ability t see, the researchers adapted the classic mirrr test. They cllected five scents: The snake’s wn scent, its wn scent mixed with live il, the scent f pure live il, the scent f anther snake and the scent f anther snake mixed with live il.
African ball pythns spent a similar amunt f time with each scent. But eastern garter snakes paid much mre attentin t their wn scent that had been mixed with that f live il. The scientists suggest the garter snakes recgnized themselves by nticing the unexpected change in their smell. “They nly d lng tngue flicks (轻弹) when they’re interested in smething,” Miller says
“I think their experimental mdel is mre pwerful than the mirrr test,” Ruln Clark, a bilgist, says.” A highly reflective mirrred surface desn’t have a lt f equals in the natural envirnment. But researching chemical signals like scents left by a species and its fellw members well infrms urselves abut hw the species learns abut itself and interacts with the envirnment.”
Researchers cnducted a similar study in 2021 with 24 eastern garter snakes. Instead f scents and live il, they bserved the snakes’ interest in cage liners (衬垫)—their wn, versus thse f ther snakes with bth similar and dissimilar diets. By bserving hw lng a snake flicked its tngue befre each liner, that team als shwed that the snakes fcused n their wn scents mre than thers’.
“Snakes are believed t be bring animals that are nt very smart, but ur research shws that they display many f the same clever features as ther animals. We can make prgress in this field if we respect the species’ bilgy and way f dealing with the wrld and ask the right questins,” Grdn Burghardt, the study’s lead authr, says.
12. What is the classic mirrr test intended t test abut animals?
A. Natural changes in their lks. B. Their self-recgnitin ability.
C. Differences in their visin. D. Their adaptability.
13.Hw did the researchers adapt the mirrr test fr snakes?
A. By adding mirrr types. B. By including tw species.
C. By giving them visin training. D. By relying n their sense f smell.
14. Why is the new experimental mdel cnsidered mre pwerful?
A. It enables deeper explratin f animal behavir.
B. It can drive better treatment f chemical scents.
C. It benefits nature prtectin during studies.
D. It can reduce cmpetitin amng species.
15. What inspiratin des Grdn Burghardt prbably want t share?
A. Trying t learn frm research failures.
B. Explring less-nticed research tpics.
C. Designing species-specific research methds.
D. Exchanging ideas with scientists in different fields.

15.【答案】C。
【解析】推断。根据末段they shw…clever features…respect the species’ bilgy…the right questins可推知，Grdn Burghardt想说明研究者应采用与物种生物特性匹配的研究方法。

【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。此处描述现在的一般情况，故应用一般现在时，且主语不定式与regard 之间为被动关系，故填is regarded。
2.【答案】evidently
【解析】考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词，故填evident的副词形式evidently。
3.【答案】respnse
【解析】考查名词。此处应填名词作主语，故填respnd的名词形式respnse。
4.【答案】with
【解析】考查介词。此处“with + sth. + 宾补”表伴随状况，故填介词with。
5.【答案】t fight
【解析】考查非谓语动调。根据语境，此处应用不定式表目的，故填t fight。
6.【答案】what
【解析】考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为宾语从句，空处在从句中作表语，故填关系代词what。
7.【答案】sending
【解析】考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语the rapid eye mvement与send为主动关系，故填sending作伴随状语。
8.【答案】and
【解析】考查连词。根据语境，空处前后谓语动词具有并列关系，故填and。
9.【答案】cmmunicated
【解析】考查非谓语动词。cmmunicate与infrmatin为被动关系，故填过去分词cmmunicated作后置定语。
10.【答案】established
【解析】考查形容词。与“公认的”观念不同的是，眨眼会提升而非损害我们的视觉处理，故填形容词established，修饰名词belief。

Having put my lunchbx int my schlbag, I waved gdbye t Mum and gt nt the schl bus. Upn arrival at the schl, I came acrss my friend Anika, and we saw a pster n the frnt wall f the schl. “A cstume cntest? It’s ging t be held this Wednesday!” we said excitedly and decided t sign up.
While I was lking at the pster, I felt a tap n my shulder. When I turned, I saw Mariah, wh was ne year lder than me. “T win this cntest, yu need t buy a gd cstume nt a handmade ne,” Mariah said with a mcking (嘲弄的) smile and then left. Annyed by her tne, Anika and I walked directly t ur class.
It rained heavily the next day, s we didn’t g t schl. Nevertheless, I was very sad. I wanted t cmpete in the cntest, but I didn’t want t buy a cstume. It wuld be a waste f mney because I nly needed t wear it fr ne day.
In the evening, Dad came back frm wrk, and he quickly sensed that 1 was a bit depressed. S after dinner, he came t my rm t chat with me.
When I tld him what was wrrying me, he explained that I culd easily make smething special with sme creative thinking. Encuraged by my father, I became cnfident abut the cming cntest. Lking back n what I’d watched n TV, I quickly gt an idea fr the rle I’d like t play. Then I prepared all the materials that culd be easily fund in my huse, with which I began t make my cstume.
The cmpetitin day finally came. Nearly all the participants wre beautiful, creative cstumes. Anika dressed herself up as a witch, and Mariah lked pretty t as a clwn. Seeing them all dressed up perfectly, I felt a bit nervus. But I lked dwn at my handmade cstume and smiled, hping that I culd beat Mariah. Just then, I heard my name being called n the stage. I tk a deep breath and walked nt the stage.

I wre a repurpsed black high-neck shirt, black leggings, a hand-crafted headband with cat ears and my mum’s black glves. I als used my little brther’s face paint t draw the cat’s muth and beard. As I explained the idea fr my cstume, I saw the audience staring at me in admiratin. Deep dwn, a sense f pride and accmplishment welled up inside me. After all the participants shwed their cstumes, there was a shrt break, during which the judges gathered tgether t decide the results.
