Yu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move on their own, “The art form amazes me, becauseit combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.
Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China inBeijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.
When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency inBeijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned toChengduto open his automata workshop.
To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.
Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Yu is equipped with various skills. B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor. C. Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide. D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft. 5. Why did Yu quit his job inBeijing?

6. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist? A. The fruits he grows. B. Success of his business. C. His devotion to the job. D. Observation from daily life. 7. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?
A. There is no end to learning. B. Great hopes make great man.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.

Trees are “social creature” that communicate with each other in cooperative ways that hold lessons for humans, too, ecologist Suzanne Simard says. Simard grew up in Canadian forests as a child of loggers before becoming an ecologist. She's now a professor of forest ecology at theUniversityofBritish Columbia.
Trees are linked to neighboring trees by a network of fungi below the surface of the earth that resembles the nervous networks in the brain, she explains. In one study, Simard watched as a Douglas fir tree that had been injured by insects appeared to send chemical warning signals to a pine nearby. The pine tree then produced defense enzymes to protect against the insect.
“This was a breakthrough,” Simard says. The trees were sharing “information that actually is important to the health of the whole forest.”
In addition to warning each other of danger, Simard says that trees have been known to share nutrients at critical times to keep each other healthy. She says the trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree she calls a “mother” or “hub” tree.
“In connecting with all the trees of different ages, the mother trees can actually ease the growth of these young trees,” she says. “The young trees will link into the network of the old trees and benefit from that huge resource capacity. And the old trees would also pass a little bit of carbon and nutrients and water to the young trees, at crucial times in their lives, that actually help them survive.”
The study of trees took on a new resonance for Simard when she suffered from breast cancer. During her treatment, she learned that one of the medicines she relied on was actually obtained from what some trees produce for their own mutual defense. She explains her research on cooperation in the forest, and shares her
personal story in the new bookFinding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of theForest. 8. How could a Douglas fir tree send chemical warning signals to a pine nearby? A. By an underground network of fungi. B. By the nervous networks in the brain. C. By making cooperation with each other. D. By holding lessons to it as human beings. 9. According to Simard, what was a breakthrough? A. Simard was-brought up in Canadian forests. B. She became a professor of forest ecology. C. The pine tree produced defense enzymes. D. Vital information was shared among trees. 10. What helped Simard understand trees further?
A. Her rich knowledge of trees. B. Her childhood in the forest. C. Her medicine gained from trees. D. Her research on cooperation. 11. In Simard's book we may discover the wisdom of the forest except . A. communicating cooperatively B. warning each other of danger C. sharing nutrientsat critical times D. sacrificing mother trees for survival

Typhoons can be deadly — in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest ever recorded, was responsible for 6,340 deaths—and cost billions in damages. Current forecast modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance, at most, and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.
An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earth’s surface and atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.
“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,” said paper author Mingkui Li, associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (QNLM). “We specifically address three aspects: the beginning time, inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”
The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量) on another, such as wind speed on sea surface temperature. This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and in weather forecasts, butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-day
weather, according to Li. “We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons in advance.”
From their study, the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand the relationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement— conditions that favor typhoon formation—could improve typhoon predictability.
“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的) weather-climate predictions.” Shaoqing Zhang, paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, said. 12. What is the problem with the present forecast system? A. It cannot foretell storms in advance. B. It is ineffective in accuracy and timeliness. C. It costs too much and causes great damages. D. It can hardly predict the intensity of typhoons.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The variable. B. The climate C. The temperature. D. The influence.
14. What is the purpose of the study? A. To advance the prediction system. B. To figure out the three main aspects. C. To know how climate affects daily weather. D. To understand the influence of the variables. 15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. Awork diary. B. A travel guidebook. C. A science magazine. D. A fantasy fiction. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
