Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand.But could you
imagine hundreds ofpeople being attracted by the cover of a science magazine?
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the
cover of an Octoberissue of Structure,a US-based Cell Press journal.The cover shows
a Chinese ink painting thatvividly shows the process in which a special enzyme
(酶 )involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成 )ofan important organic compound is
activated —the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientificresearch team.Another one
of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is acomposite
image,describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa,carrying her newly
discoveredcompound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university,Wang Yixi often came across an
experimentalpreparation process that he had to explain,but the amount of text was too
large and abstract.As hehad been interested in drawing,and related software like
Photoshop,he decided to turn his graphicsinto a fine art.He went on to study 3D
graphics software in order to better display the microscopicstructures in his field and
improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn't take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and
asked him to helpthem with their papers.By word of mouth,more people beat a path
to Wang's door and were willingto pay for his service.Over the past four years,Wang
and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers
across a variety of fields,many of which have made theirway to the world's top
academic journals,including Nature,Science and Cell.
“Every scientific paper is innovative,and graphics are an essential part of
scientific papers,”Wang says,adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of
models or methods,to showcaseexperimental results,visually process data or compare
differences among experiments.
4.What play a special role in Wang's works?
A.Fairy tales. B.Chinese elements.
C.Rich colors. D.Complex structures.
5.What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3?
A.He preferred painting to Chemistry.
B.He developed useful mapping software.
C.He had an active mind to solve problem.
D.He had trouble conducting his experiment.
6.How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood?
A.By visualizing them vividly.B.By showing them accurately.
C.By explaining them in detail.D.By constructing them uniquely.
7.Which is the best title for the text?
A.The power of artB.Dilemmas of science
C.Mysteries of ChemistryD.Inspiration from science

Several times a month,you can find Doctor Daniel Nadeau in the Ralph's
market in HuntingtonBeach,California,wearing a white coat and helping people learn
about food.He notices thepre-made macaroni(通心粉)and cheese boxes in a mother's
shopping cart and suggests she switchto whole grain macaroni and real cheese.
Nadeau says sugar and processed foods are big contributors to the rising
diabetes(糖尿病 )rates among children.“In America,over 50 percent of our food is
processed food,Nadeau tells her.“Andonly 5 percent of our food is plant-based
food.I think we should try to reverse that.”This motheragrees to try more fruit juices
for the kids and to make real macaroni and cheese.Score one point forthe doctor,zero
for diabetes.
Research findings increasingly show the power of food to treat or reverse
diseases,but that doesnot mean that diet alone is always the solution,or that every
illness can benefit substantially fromdietary changes.Nevertheless,physicians say that
they look at the collective data and a clear pictureemerges:that the salt,sugar,fat and
processed foods in the American diet contribute to the nation'shigh rates of
obesity,diabetes and heart disease.
By prescribing(开处方 )nutritional changes or launching programs such
as“Shop with yourDoc”,they are trying to prevent,limit or even reverse disease by
changing what patients eat.Theprogram will offer patients several bags of food
prescribed for their condition,along with intensivetraining in how to cook it.They
believe teaching people about which foods are healthy and how toprepare them can
actually transform a patient's life.And beyond that,it might transform the healthand
lives of that patient's family.
8.Why does Doctor Nadeau advise buying whole grain macaroni and real cheese?
A.They're easy to make. B.They're plant-based.
C.They're delicious to eat. D.They're processed food.
9.What does the underlined word “reverse”in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Try out. B.Pick up. C.Take in. D.Turn around.
10.What is the author's attitude toward the power of food?
A.Neutral. B.Dismissive. C.Doubtful. D.Positive.
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.A good cure for diabetes.
B.A new attempt on cooking.

Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to
understand whatwe perceive(感知).In 1970,psychologist Richard Gregory introduced
the concept.He claimed thatperception is constructive
The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our
environment.Our fivesenses are constantly taking in information.At any given
time,we are experiencing different sights,sounds,tastes,smells,and ways things feel
when we touch them.If we paid attention to each one ofour senses all the time we'd
never do anything else.It enables us to simplify the process by relyingon context and
our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice.If our brains didn't
employtop-down processing our senses would overwhelm us.
Top-down processing helps us understand what our senses are perceiving in our
daily lives.Forexample,suppose you receive an important letter but a few drops of
water have ruined part of thetext.A few letters in different words are now just
smudges(污迹).Yet,you're still able to read theletter in its entirety using top-down
processing.You use the context of the words and sentences inwhich the smudges
appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the
letter'smessage.See a word LO*E,with one letter knocked down,yet you are still able
to quickly recognizethe word as LOVE.
On the one hand,top-down processing serves a positive function by
simplifying the way wecomprehend our sensory perceptions.It enables us to shortcut
the cognitive path between ourperceptions and their meaning.On the other hand,
patterns can also prevent us from perceivingthings in unique ways.So we may
understand the pattern of how to use a mobile phone,but if themanufacturer comes
out with a new phone that employs completely unique interaction patterns,wemay not
be able to figure out how to use it.Besides,as our knowledge is limited and biased (片
面的) in certain ways,it can lead to perceptual errors.
12.What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 2?
A.To explain main reasons. B.To give practical examples.
C.To draw specific conclusions. D.To analyse theoretical frameworks.
13.What may be the key to understanding a text with missing letters?
A.Pre-existing knowledge. B.Active interactions.
C.Five physical senses. D.Lessons from mistakes
14.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Seeing is believing. B.Practice makes perfect.
C.Every coin has two sides. D.Experience is the best teacher.
15.What does the author intend to do according to the text?
A.Introduce a reading method. B.Deepen underlying meanings.
C.Illustrate a cognitive strategy. D.Clarify a producing process.
