21、   It is not often that artists surprise us long after they die, but there are some notable exceptions. Think : Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Picasso.

Underneath Pablo Picasso's famous Blue Period piece The Old Guitarist (1903 - 1904) , there is the faint figure of a woman. She was first detected in 1998, when conservators at the Art Institute of Chicago used X-rays and infrared light to peek behind the top layer of paint. She sits with her left arm reaching towards the viewer and her right arm tucked onto her lap --- and curiously, she matches a sketch Picasso sent to a colleague around the same time.

Until now, all that could be detected of the woman was the faintest trace of her outline. Any extra detail - like color and style - was lost. However, by using a neural network trained to distinguish the style of one artist from another or ( in the case of artists like Picasso) of one period from another, researchers at University College London have given her a new life, even if it is not necessarily true to the Picasso original.

The basis for the neural network was a technique developed in 2015 by Leon Gatys at the University of Tubingen, Germany, called neural style transfer. The machine vision technique can identify the style of a painting and transform the style of a painting to match another. It can transform a Michelangelo into the style of Paul Cezanne, for example. The technology has even been applied to videos - so if you want to watch clips of Ice Age in the style of Van Gogh's The Starry Night, you can.

【1】What does the underlined word “notable" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Outstanding.

B．Difficult.

C．Funny.

D．Intelligent.

【2】What can we know about the painting The Old Guitarist？

A．It was first found in 1903.

B．Its color and style were lost.

C．It is the only one painted at the Blue Period.

D．The woman figure in it couldn't be seen directly.

【3】What is the researchers' aim of using the neural network technology?

A．To test its reliability in the field of art.

B．To identify the period or style of the painting.

C．To restore the painting to the Picasso original.

D．To match the painting to another one similar in style.

【4】What does the last paragraph talk about?

A．The process of the neural network.

B．The advantage of the neural network.

C．The development of neural style transfer.

D．The function of neural style transfer.

22、Does happiness have a scent?

When someone is happy, can you smell it?

You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.

For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.

Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.

Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.

“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.

This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.

Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.

Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.

【1】What is the main finding of the new research?

A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.

B. Negative emotions have a smell.

C. Men produce more sweats.

D. Women have a better sense of smell.

【2】The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.

A. continue B. practice C. avoid D. try

【3】What is the application value of the new research?

A. Perfumes could help people understand each other.

B. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.

C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.

D. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.

【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that .

A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat

B. social surroundings can influence our emotions

C. people need more emotional communication

D.  positive energy can deepen understanding

23、Sixty-six-year-old Atsuko Oyama shares a goal held by many people a half-century younger. She wants to get 100 kills in the first-person shooter videogame “Apex Legends”.

True, she’s a little rusty (生疏的), having last fought against digital enemies in a “Space Invaders” shooting game sometime in the latter part of the 20th century. But after joining Japan’s first senior esports team in September, Ms. Oyama achieved 10 kills in a month and feels her enthusiasm growing. “Watching others play. I thought I couldn’t do it,” said the retired receptionist. “But I didn’t like to be left behind, so I decided to come here at least twice, and now I am into it.”

Esports promoters who have seen Japan fall behind powerhouses in videogame competitions think the senior market might be the way to catch up. And if the over-65 set feels a little more energized after shooting a few rival enemies, so much the better.

Japan is the world’s oldest nation, but its efforts to boost the size of its younger population have been mostly unsuccessful. It is, however, at the forefront of initiatives to keep old people thinking younger.

Ms. Oyama, whose player name is Mama, tried out for the team known as the Matagi Snipers after her daughter saw an ad recruiting players. The Matagi Snipers, named for a traditional group of bear hunters in northern Japan, have been practicing since September at their home base in northern Akita county. With an average age of 68, the 14-person team hopes eventually to compete in professional tournaments in first-person shooter titles such as “Apex Legends” and “Fortnite”.

Coach “Lemon” motivates his team by telling them age is an advantage. He thought, there is a huge difference in social experience between people who have lived only 20 years versus 60 years. While younger players tend to be more violent, older players can communicate better and lean on teamwork.

【1】Which of the following best describes Atsuko Oyama?

A．Ambitious and creative.

B．Diligent and enthusiastic.

C．Intelligent and responsible.

D．Independent and cooperative.

【2】Why do the seniors play videogames according to the passage?

A．The junior population has been decreasing recently.

B．The seniors are likely to make a greater achievement.

C．The seniors may make up for the loss of Esports market.

D．The youngsters are not keen on it because of heavy burden.

【3】What mainly contributes to the seniors’ success in the game?

A．Efficient cooperation.

B．Sufficient leisure time.

C．Highly focused attention.

D．Previous gaming experience.

【4】What is author’s attitude toward the senior videogaming?

A．Supportive.

B．Negative.

C．Indifferent (不关心的).

D．Objective.

24、 This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have a empty space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition (夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn't know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years.

Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature… What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try.

A. To watch how long the lizard can still live here.

B. To take out the nail and set the lizard free.

C. To have a rest by watching the lizard.

D. To find out why the lizard had survived here for 10 years.
