The pwer f “seeing”
A spn-billed sandpiper（勺嘴鹬）steps int the frame， heading straight fr a small bug placed there. It swallws its fd with its spn-shaped beak.
The perfrmance is fr Jel Sartre, funder f Pht Ark, a persnal effrt t dcument animals arund the wrld.
The critically endangered bird, f which there are fewer than 1,000 individuals in the wild, is the 13,000th species Sartre has phtgraphed in 16 years. His gal is 20,000.
Befre he started Pht Ark, Sartre spent mre than a decade wrking as a phtgrapher fr Natinal Gegraphic, mainly cvering cnservatin stries in the field. He had seen wildlife decreasing firsthand, but felt like the public wasn't interested.
Sartre thught f a new way t inspire peple. He picked up his camera and set abut taking shts f wildlife-but rather than recrding animals in the wild, he wanted t phtgraph them utside their natural habitat. He visited zs, aquariums and rehabilitatin（康复）centers and phtgraphed prtraits f individual animals against a white r black backdrp（背景幕）.
“This allws yu t lk them in the eye and see that there's great beauty there and that they are wrth saving,” he said. “We are primates and we respnd t eye cntact abve all else.”
The respnse has indeed been huge. Sartre has mre than 1.6 millin fllwers n Instagram and a best-selling series f Pht Ark bks. Part f the prceeds（收益）frm his bks ges t fund n-the-grund cnservatin effrts.
Gary Ward wh wrks at Lndn Z where Sartre has sht befre, said, “Seeing is the first step t caring, and caring is the first step t cnservatin actin.”
By chsing animals utside their natural habitat, Sartre admits he will nly shw a small part f the wrld's wildlife. Accrding t the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature, there are mre than 2 millin described species n the planet, and he plans t phtgraph just 1% f them. But ding s allws him t sptlight species that are already extinct in the wild, and thse that wuld be difficult t take prtraits f in their natural habitat. It als enables him t sht in a cntrlled envirnment, meaning the animal can be kept safe and cmfrtable, with zkeepers r carers n hand t advise n its behavir.
24. What is Sartre ding at the beginning f the text?
A. He is feeding a bird.
C.He is phtgraphing a bird.
B. He is training a bird.
D. He is studying a bird's behavir.
25. What des Sartre aim t d with his Pht Ark?
A. Make a recrd f cnservatin stries.
B. Braden his experience in saving animals.
C.Gather infrmatin n endangered species.
D. Raise peple's awareness f prtecting wildlife.
26.What is Gary Ward's attitude twards Sartre's wrk?
A.Unclear.
B.Apprving.
C.Dubtful.
D.Objective.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A.Why Sartre fcuses n animals in human care.
B.Why Sartre can't cver all animals in the wrld.
C. The benefits f wrking with zkeepers r carers.
D. The difficulties f phtgraphing animals in the wild.

It is a self-evident fact that music study bsts yur artistic ability, but have yu thught f that yur academic perfrmance is actually hugely benefited? Music study has been linked t academic achievements in many studies and serius music training is reprted t be assciated with success in many ther fields. I hpe yu wuld nt be t surprised t hear that many utstanding prfessinals in industries frm tech t finance t media are fund t be amateur musicians and playing music as their regular past-times.
The phenmenn extends beynd the widely-knwn math-music assciatin. Strikingly, many high achievers tld me music pened up the pathways t creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens ther qualities: Cllectin-the ability t listen, a way f thinking that jins tgether separate ideas, and the pwer t fcus n the present and the future at the same time.
It is in this cntext that the cnnectin between math and music grabs the mst attentin. Bth are at heart mdes f expressin. Bruce Kvner, the funder f the hedge fund（对冲基金）Caxtn Assciates， says he sees similarities between his pian playing and investing strategy; as he says, bth “relate t pattern cgnitin, and sme peple extend these patterns acrss different senses”.
Fr Rger McNamee, whse Elevatin Partners is perhaps best knwn fr its early investment in Facebk, “music and technlgy have met and befriended,” he says. He became expert n Facebk by using it t prmte his band, Mnalice, and nw is fcusing n vide by live-streaming its cncerts. He says musicians and tp prfessinals share “the almst desperate need t dive deep”. This capacity f getting int smething in a real way seems t unite tp perfrmers in music and ther fields.
“I've always believed the reasn I've gtten ahead is by utwrking ther peple,” he says. It's a skill learned by “playing that sl ne mre time, wrking n that ne little sectin ne mre time," and it translates int “wrking n smething ver and ver again, r duble-checking r triple-checking.” He adds, “there is nthing like music t teach yu that eventually if yu wrk hard enugh, it des get better. Yu see the results.” That's an bservatin wrth remembering at a time when music as a serius pursuit is in decline in this cuntry.
28. Based n the passage, music training can enhance all f the fllwing abilities EXCEPT
A.handling the present with a lng-range visin
B. thinking frm ther peple's perspective
C. listening t different pinins patiently
D. identifying cnnectin between different ideas
29.Which f the fllwing is cnsidered bearing similarities with music?
A.Hedge fund.
C.Different senses.
B.Patterns.
D.Mathematics.
30. What des Rger McNamee mean by saying “music and technlgy have met and befriended”?
A. Musical techniques are directly used in managing business.
B. Advanced technlgy makes sund better than befre.
C. Facebk has becme a platfrm fr prmting music albums.
D. Technlgy has increased the channels by which music is prmted.
31.What des the underlined wrd “bservatin” in the last paragraph refer t?
A.The claim that music is the key t success.
B. The belief that results determine the value f music.
C. The idea that hard wrk keeps getting yu ahead.
D. The prpsal that ne shuld pursue music seriusly.
D
D rewards really bring desirable results? Three researchers, psychlgists Mark Lepper, David Greene, and Richard Nisbett, watched a classrm f preschlers fr several days and identified the children wh chse t spend their “free play” time drawing. Then they cnducted an experiment t test the effect f rewarding an activity these children clearly enjyed.
The researchers divided the children int three grups. The first was the “expected-award” grup. They shwed each f these children a “Gd Player” certificate decrated with a blue ribbn and featuring the child's name and asked if the child wanted t draw in rder t receive the award. The secnd grup was the “unexpected-award” grup. Researchers asked these children simply if they wanted t draw. If they decided t, when the sessin ended, the researchers handed each child ne f the "Gd Player" certificates. The third grup was the “n-award” grup. Researchers asked these children if they wanted t draw, but neither prmised them a certificate at the beginning nr gave them ne at the end.
Tw weeks later, back in the classrm, teachers set ut paper and markers during the preschl's free play perid while the researchers secretly bserved the students. Children previusly in the “unexpected-award” and “n-award” grups drew just as much, and with the same relish as they had befre the experiment. But children in the first grup-the nes wh'd expected and then received an award-shwed much less interest and spent much less time drawing. Even tw weeks later, thse appealing prizes-s cmmn in classrms-had turned play int wrk.
Based n the research，cntingent（连带的）rewards-if yu d this， then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple. “If-then” rewards require peple t sacrifice sme f their autnmy. They're n lnger fully cntrlling their lives. And that can spring a hle in the bttm f their mtivatinal bucket, draining an activity f its enjyment.
Other researchers fund similar results with adults. These insights prved s surprising, which called int questin a standard practice f mst cmpanies and schls: prmising and giving rewards, especially material nes, t desirable behavirs and results. As ne leading behaviral science textbk puts it, “Peple use rewards expecting t gain the benefit f increasing anther persn's mtivatin and behavir, but in s ding, they ften bear the unintentinal and hidden cst f weakening that persn's inner mtivatin tward the activity.”
32.It can be inferred frm the passage that Lepper, Greene, and Nisbett's experiment was designed t ensure that
A. all children wh were part f the expected-award grup were nt distracted by the prmise f an award while drawing
B. all children wh participated in the experiment were knwn t enjy drawing
C. all children wh displayed equal levels f enthusiasm fr drawing wuld be gruped tgether
D. all children wh did nt receive an award wuld maintain their mtivatin t draw
33.The underlined wrd “relish” mst nearly means
A.diversity
B.flavr
C.pleasure
D.style
34. Based n the passage, which f the fllwing activities wuld mst likely affect peple's inner mtivatin in a negative way?
A. Orally encurage students wh have helped in grup prjects.
B. Offer sheets f paper academic reprts t students abut their perfrmance f the semester.
C. Prmise t award students financially wh used t cntribute t the class activities vluntarily.
D. Shw gratitude t yur family members fr their uncnditinal lve.
35. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A.Enjy painting, enjy life
B. D the best, expect the least
C. Practice self-cntrl t achieve mre
D.Award: mtivatinal r nt?
