“Are yu all right?” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch f last wrk befre writing my essay. The student, wh was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. prgram, went n t say, “I see peple frm yur grup wrking s much, putting in extra hurs, even at night.” It set me thinking a lt.
As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky t have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt verwhelming pressure t becme a perfect student. I kept finding a millin reasns why I was cming int graduate schl at a disadvantage cmpared with my peers. As a student frm Clmbia, I had been educated at institutins my prfessrs and clleagues had never heard f, I spke with an accent that was hard t understand, and I was lder than mst f the peple in my chrt.
I nticed that mst f the peple arund me seemed t be wrking all the time. I began t spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t wrk. I crashed frm burnut. The tiredness tk a tll n my prductivity and mtivatin. During ne f many mindless Sundays in the ffice, I realized I’d fallen int the trap f assuming my clleagues’ wrk habits were the standard fr belnging and being wrthy f respect – and it wasn’t sustainable.
Frm then n, I stpped cunting the number f wrk hurs I was putting in, leaving space every day fr exercising and ding activities that I enjyed. Finally, I realized nbdy was keeping track f the amunt f time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t smething I needed t wrry abut.
I nticed that having mre time fr myself made me mre rested and mtivated when I went back t wrk. I cntinued quietly alng this path fr years, until that cnversatin in the hallway. S, when I ran int her again, weeks later, I tld her that even thugh I was feeling a lt f pressure in the final year f my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t wrking vertime. I als began t talk with ther students abut hw quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasnable wrk hurs were a daily part f my rutine.
34. What can we learn abut the student wh talked t the authr in the hallway?
A. She spent much time n lab wrk.B. She had finished the Ph.D. prgram.
C. She was cncerned abut the authr.D. She was putting in extra hurs at night.

C. cast new light nD. depended t much n
37. What des the authr intend t tell us?

Identifying the chemical makeup f pigment (色素) used in ancient dcuments, paintings and waterclrs is critical t restring and cnserving the precius artwrks. Hwever, despite numerus effrts, scientists had been unable t determine the surce f flium, ppular blue dye (染料) used t clr manuscripts (手稿) in Eurpe during the middle ages – frm the 5th t the 15th century. Nw, a team f researchers frm Prtugal has finally uncvered the mysterius ingredient respnsible fr the grgeus blueish-purple clr that helped bring ancient illustratins and texts t life.
The research team began by pring ver instructins penned by Eurpean dye makers frm the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They fund what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Bk n Hw t Make All the Clr Paints fr Illuminating Bks. Hwever, translating the instructins was n easy task. It was written in the nw extinct Judae-Prtuguese language, and thugh the surce f the dye was traced back t a plant, n name was mentined.
Hwever, by piecing tgether suggestins frm the text, the scientists were able t determine that the dye was made frm the bluish-green berries f the chrzphra tinctria plant. After an extensive search, the team fund a few varieties f the plant grwing alng the radside near the twn f Mnsaraz in suth Prtugal.
The detailed instructins gave the researchers critical clues, including the best time t pick the berries. “Yu need t squeeze the fruits, being careful nt t break the seeds, and then t put them n linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was imprtant since brken seeds plluted the pigment, prducing an inferir quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left t dry, was an efficient way t stre and transprt the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist wuld simply cut ff a piece f the clth and dip it with water t squeeze ut the blue clr.
Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began t determine the dye’s mlecular structure. T their surprise they fund that flium was nt like any ther knwn permanent blue dyes – it was an entirely new class f clr, ne they named chrzphridin. “Chrzphridin was used in ancient times t make a beautiful blue dye fr painting.” the team wrte in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will nt be ur final wrd n this amazing plant and its stry and that further discveries will fllw sn.”
38. The primary purpse f the study is t ______.
A. restre and cnserve ancient precius artwrks
B. determine the substance making up the flium
C. prve the ancient dye-making technique was rganic
D. identify which class f clr flium belngs t
39.The underlined phrase “pring ver” in the secnd paragraph means ______.
A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedly
C. cpying directlyD. reading carefully
40. What can be learned abut the blue dye flium?
A. It was essentially an inferir type f ink.
B. It was the nly kind made frm wild berries.
C. It culd be carried and used easily.
D. It was carefully squeezed frm brken seeds.
41. The article is mainly abut ______.
A. hw the mystery f thusand-year-ld blue dye was slved
B. why the researchers tk the truble t recreate the dye
C. what needs t be dne t make an rganic dye frm a plant
D. when and where the discvery f the dye was made
D
The Human Spark
“What is civilizatin?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ag in the seminal BBC series n the subject. “I dn’t knw, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recgnize it when I see it, and I’m lking at it nw. ”And he turned t gesture behind him, at the saring Gthic twers and flying buttresses f Ntre Dame (巴黎圣母院).
It seems inhuman t care mre abut a building than abut peple. That the sight f Ntre Dame ging up in flames has attracted s much mre attentin than flds in suthern Africa which killed ver 1,000 aruses understandable feelings f guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight f the cathedral’s cllapsing steeple is in fact prfundly human – and in a particularly 21st-century way.
It is nt just the ecnmy that is glbal tday, it is culture t. Peple wander the wrld in search nt just f jbs and security but als f beauty and histry. Familiarity breeds affectin. A building n whse sunny steps yu have rested, in frnt f which yu have taken a selfie with yur lved ne, becmes a warm part f yur memries and thus f yurself.
This visual age has endwed beauty with new pwer, and scial media have turned great wrks f art int superstars. Only a few, thugh, have achieved this status. Just as there is nly ever a handful f wrld-famus actrs, s the panthen f glbally recgnizable cultural symbls is tiny: the Mna Lisa, Michelangel’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid – and Ntre Dame. Disaster, t, is visual. In the 24 hurs after the fire started, vides n scial media f the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter f a billin times.
Yet the emtins the sight arused were less abut the building itself than abut what lsing it might mean. Ntre Dame is an expressin f humanity at its cllective best. Nbdy culd lk up int that vaulted ceiling withut wndering at the genius f the thusands f annymus craftsmen wh, ver a century and a half, realized a visin s grand in its structure and s delicate in its detail. Its survival thrugh war and revlutin cnnects the present t the past.
The fire als binds peple t each ther. The utpuring f emtin it has brught frth is prf that we are all in it tgether. When natinalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes brders suddenly irrelevant; a lve f culture has the pwer t unite. When extremism divides Muslim frm Christian and religius peple frm nn-religius, thse f all faiths and nne are murning tgether.
And it will be rebuilt. The mrning after the fire, the many Parisians wh went t the cathedral t murn its destructin fund cmfrt instead. Althugh the spire is gne, the twers are still standing and it seems likely that the whle building can be revived. The effrt t rebuild it, like the fire, will bring peple tgether. Within 24 hurs, €600m ($677m) had been raised frm businesses and rich peple, and a rash f crwdfunding campaigns started. A high-reslutin laser scan f the building, carried ut recently, shuld help.
It will never be the same, but that is as it shuld be. As Victr Hug wrte in The Hunchback f Ntre Dame, “Great edifices, like great muntains, are the wrk f centuries. Art is ften transfrmed as it is being is the architect. The natin is the builder.”
42. Accrding t the authr, ______.
A. we shuld nt care mre abut a building than we d abut peple
B. it’s understandable that the flds in Africa has attracted mre attentin
C. it’s human fr peple t feel deeply srry fr the destructin f Ntre Dame
D. peple are suppsed t feel guilty if they are mre cncerned abut buildings
43. In 21st century, what make great wrks f art even mre ppular?
A. The beauty f art and value f culture
B. Peple’s search fr jbs and sense f security
C. The expressin f humanity and amazing craftsmanship
D. The arrival f visual age and ppularity f scial media
44. The authr believes that culture ______.
A. is an expressin f humanity at its cllective best
B. aruses emtins and reminds peple what they are lsing
C. brings peple tgether regardless f their natinality and religius belief
D. threatens the utpuring f emtins and makes peple’s sadness irrelevant
45. Which wrd can best describe the writer’s attitude twards the rebuilding f Ntre Dame?
A. PsitiveB. Negative C. NeutralD. Cncerned

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art cmes in tw main categries: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims t shw real-life scenes, peple, and bjects exactly as they appear. It invlves paying clse attentin t details, making things lk like phtgraphs. 46 . It’s mre abut expressing feelings, emtins, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy t understand. Viewers can easily recgnize what is prtrayed. Take the Mna Lisa, fr example – it’s a realistic painting f a lady with a mysterius smile. 47 , helping us t learn abut the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is mre abut being creative. 48 . They use shapes, clrs and patterns t express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things t different peple. Sme peple enjy trying t figure ut what the artwrk cnveys.
49 . Realistic art needs precisin in drawing r sculpting t make things lk real. Abstract art requires imaginatin t use shapes and clrs in new ways. Many artists are skilled in bth. They create realistic pieces t demnstrate their technical skills and abstract nes t display their creativity.

“Are yu all right?” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch f last wrk befre writing my essay. The student, wh was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. prgram, went n t say, “I see peple frm yur grup wrking s much, putting in extra hurs, even at night.” It set me thinking a lt.
As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky t have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt verwhelming pressure t becme a perfect student. I kept finding a millin reasns why I was cming int graduate schl at a disadvantage cmpared with my peers. As a student frm Clmbia, I had been educated at institutins my prfessrs and clleagues had never heard f, I spke with an accent that was hard t understand, and I was lder than mst f the peple in my chrt.
I nticed that mst f the peple arund me seemed t be wrking all the time. I began t spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t wrk. I crashed frm burnut. The tiredness tk a tll n my prductivity and mtivatin. During ne f many mindless Sundays in the ffice, I realized I’d fallen int the trap f assuming my clleagues’ wrk habits were the standard fr belnging and being wrthy f respect – and it wasn’t sustainable.
Frm then n, I stpped cunting the number f wrk hurs I was putting in, leaving space every day fr exercising and ding activities that I enjyed. Finally, I realized nbdy was keeping track f the amunt f time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t smething I needed t wrry abut.
I nticed that having mre time fr myself made me mre rested and mtivated when I went back t wrk. I cntinued quietly alng this path fr years, until that cnversatin in the hallway. S, when I ran int her again, weeks later, I tld her that even thugh I was feeling a lt f pressure in the final year f my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t wrking vertime. I als began t talk with ther students abut hw quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasnable wrk hurs were a daily part f my rutine.

Identifying the chemical makeup f pigment (色素) used in ancient dcuments, paintings and waterclrs is critical t restring and cnserving the precius artwrks. Hwever, despite numerus effrts, scientists had been unable t determine the surce f flium, ppular blue dye (染料) used t clr manuscripts (手稿) in Eurpe during the middle ages – frm the 5th t the 15th century. Nw, a team f researchers frm Prtugal has finally uncvered the mysterius ingredient respnsible fr the grgeus blueish-purple clr that helped bring ancient illustratins and texts t life.
The research team began by pring ver instructins penned by Eurpean dye makers frm the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They fund what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Bk n Hw t Make All the Clr Paints fr Illuminating Bks. Hwever, translating the instructins was n easy task. It was written in the nw extinct Judae-Prtuguese language, and thugh the surce f the dye was traced back t a plant, n name was mentined.
Hwever, by piecing tgether suggestins frm the text, the scientists were able t determine that the dye was made frm the bluish-green berries f the chrzphra tinctria plant. After an extensive search, the team fund a few varieties f the plant grwing alng the radside near the twn f Mnsaraz in suth Prtugal.
The detailed instructins gave the researchers critical clues, including the best time t pick the berries. “Yu need t squeeze the fruits, being careful nt t break the seeds, and then t put them n linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was imprtant since brken seeds plluted the pigment, prducing an inferir quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left t dry, was an efficient way t stre and transprt the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist wuld simply cut ff a piece f the clth and dip it with water t squeeze ut the blue clr.
Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began t determine the dye’s mlecular structure. T their surprise they fund that flium was nt like any ther knwn permanent blue dyes – it was an entirely new class f clr, ne they named chrzphridin. “Chrzphridin was used in ancient times t make a beautiful blue dye fr painting.” the team wrte in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will nt be ur final wrd n this amazing plant and its stry and that further discveries will fllw sn.”
38. The primary purpse f the study is t ______.
A. restre and cnserve ancient precius artwrks
B. determine the substance making up the flium
C. prve the ancient dye-making technique was rganic
D. identify which class f clr flium belngs t
39.The underlined phrase “pring ver” in the secnd paragraph means ______.

B. It was the nly kind made frm wild berries.
C. It culd be carried and used easily.
D. It was carefully squeezed frm brken seeds.
41. The article is mainly abut ______.
A. hw the mystery f thusand-year-ld blue dye was slved

The Human Spark
“What is civilizatin?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ag in the seminal BBC series n the subject. “I dn’t knw, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recgnize it when I see it, and I’m lking at it nw. ”And he turned t gesture behind him, at the saring Gthic twers and flying buttresses f Ntre Dame (巴黎圣母院).
It seems inhuman t care mre abut a building than abut peple. That the sight f Ntre Dame ging up in flames has attracted s much mre attentin than flds in suthern Africa which killed ver 1,000 aruses understandable feelings f guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight f the cathedral’s cllapsing steeple is in fact prfundly human – and in a particularly 21st-century way.
It is nt just the ecnmy that is glbal tday, it is culture t. Peple wander the wrld in search nt just f jbs and security but als f beauty and histry. Familiarity breeds affectin. A building n whse sunny steps yu have rested, in frnt f which yu have taken a selfie with yur lved ne, becmes a warm part f yur memries and thus f yurself.
This visual age has endwed beauty with new pwer, and scial media have turned great wrks f art int superstars. Only a few, thugh, have achieved this status. Just as there is nly ever a handful f wrld-famus actrs, s the panthen f glbally recgnizable cultural symbls is tiny: the Mna Lisa, Michelangel’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid – and Ntre Dame. Disaster, t, is visual. In the 24 hurs after the fire started, vides n scial media f the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter f a billin times.
Yet the emtins the sight arused were less abut the building itself than abut what lsing it might mean. Ntre Dame is an expressin f humanity at its cllective best. Nbdy culd lk up int that vaulted ceiling withut wndering at the genius f the thusands f annymus craftsmen wh, ver a century and a half, realized a visin s grand in its structure and s delicate in its detail. Its survival thrugh war and revlutin cnnects the present t the past.
The fire als binds peple t each ther. The utpuring f emtin it has brught frth is prf that we are all in it tgether. When natinalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes brders suddenly irrelevant; a lve f culture has the pwer t unite. When extremism divides Muslim frm Christian and religius peple frm nn-religius, thse f all faiths and nne are murning tgether.
And it will be rebuilt. The mrning after the fire, the many Parisians wh went t the cathedral t murn its destructin fund cmfrt instead. Althugh the spire is gne, the twers are still standing and it seems likely that the whle building can be revived. The effrt t rebuild it, like the fire, will bring peple tgether. Within 24 hurs, €600m ($677m) had been raised frm businesses and rich peple, and a rash f crwdfunding campaigns started. A high-reslutin laser scan f the building, carried ut recently, shuld help.
It will never be the same, but that is as it shuld be. As Victr Hug wrte in The Hunchback f Ntre Dame, “Great edifices, like great muntains, are the wrk f centuries. Art is ften transfrmed as it is being is the architect. The natin is the builder.”
42. Accrding t the authr, ______.
A. we shuld nt care mre abut a building than we d abut peple
B. it’s understandable that the flds in Africa has attracted mre attentin
C. it’s human fr peple t feel deeply srry fr the destructin f Ntre Dame
D. peple are suppsed t feel guilty if they are mre cncerned abut buildings
43. In 21st century, what make great wrks f art even mre ppular?
A. The beauty f art and value f culture
B. Peple’s search fr jbs and sense f security
C. The expressin f humanity and amazing craftsmanship
D. The arrival f visual age and ppularity f scial media
44. The authr believes that culture ______.
A. is an expressin f humanity at its cllective best
B. aruses emtins and reminds peple what they are lsing
C. brings peple tgether regardless f their natinality and religius belief
D. threatens the utpuring f emtins and makes peple’s sadness irrelevant
45. Which wrd can best describe the writer’s attitude twards the rebuilding f Ntre Dame?
A. PsitiveB. Negative C. NeutralD. Cncerned
