21、The primary purpose of product packaging is to protect the product from damage.【1】Some would argue that the packaging is as important as the product itself because it's an important marketing and communication tool for their business. An interesting package can sometimes motivate（激发）someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character.【2】Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.【3】Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

【4】Maybe the package has "Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement.【5】Only the product inside can do that.

A．The size of a package also motivate a buyer.

B．Logos and symbols are often applied to packaging.

C．The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.

D．However, packaging is also an important form of advertising.

E．Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.

F．Some products are promoted through contests on their packaging.

G．The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food.

22、Rembrandt van Rijn's most famous work, The Nightwatch was commanded in 1639 by Franz Banninck Cocq, the captain of Amsterdam's civil army, and portrayed him and his 17 members. It was completed in 1642 and spent more than 70 years in the hall of the civil army it was based on.

In 1715, Dutch officials decided to move the painting to the city hall in Amsterdam's Royal Palace. The almost 12 foot by 14-foot art work was too large to go through the doors, so the movers decided to cut the edges. The strips (边条) were never recovered. However, art historians have been aware of the missing items thanks to a smaller copy of the original scene painted by Dutch artist Gerrit Lundens.

In 2019, officials of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum decided to recreate the missing sections. The team, led by scientist, Robert Erdmann, turned to a new AI algorithm (算法), which helps computers figure out what images may have once looked like. The scientists scanned images of the original and Lundens' painting to the computer. The AI was able to study the painting's perspective. It also recognized the exact colors used by the Dutch master and could even copy his brushstrokes (笔画).

The "missing" strips were printed and added to the painting. The left side included two men watching the event and a young boy running away from the army. A drummer and a barking dog were added to the painting's right side.

"It is spectacular because what Rembrandt painted was Captain Franz ordering his soldiers to march out, and that is now exactly what you see," said Taco Dibbits. "With the addition, especially on the left and the bottom, an empty space is created in the painting where they march towards. When the painting was cut, the soldiers were in the center, but Rembrandt intended them to be off-center marching towards that empty space, and that is the genius that Rembrandt understands: you create movement, a dynamic of the troops marching towards the left of the painting."

【1】Why were some sides of The Nightwatch cut off?

A．To make it easy to be displayed.

B．To get it through the doorway.

C．To place it in the hall of the civil army.

D．To please captain Franz Banninck Cocq.

【2】How can AI help reconstruct the painting?

A．By identifying the colors of the painting.

B．By grasping the painter's brushstrokes.

C．By changing the painting's perspective.

D．By finding a copy of the original painting.

【3】What can we learn from Taco's words?

A．The original painting centers on the soldiers.

B．The painting reflects an intention to move.

C．Franz Banninck Cocq is a genius of painting.

D．The empty left of the painting is useless.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．AI Draws a Masterwork in the Flesh

B．AI Brings a Painting Back to Life

C．AI Recreates a Painting from Its Original

D．AI Helps Restore a Painting to Its Original Form

24、Unique and distinct to Rwanda, milk bars make many of our communities get together. They are places to meet for breakfast or lunch. They are also places to socialize with people of different backgrounds. While it is difficult for strangers to understand these local milk bars, they reflect a little-known truth about how intrinsic cows and milk are to Rwandan culture.

Pascal Kubwimana, a taxi-moto operator who has been coming to Kuruhimbi almost every day for two years, says he is not going anywhere. “I love the milk here,” he said, washing down his bread and beans with a litre of hot milk. “It helps me feel good all day when I have it for breakfast. I even take some home in the evening. My children love it.”

With around 70% of Rwanda’s population engaged in agriculture, cows are an economic advantage as well as a symbol of wealth and social status in rural areas. In fact, cows are held in such high regard here that it’s common to include the animal into your child’s name. Many traditional Rwandan dances are also inspired by cows. In the Umushayayo, which is often characterized as a sort of Rwandan ballet, women imitate the gentle movements of cows while showing their beauty and grace. And in the Ikinyemera, Igishakamba and other dances, men and women stretch their arms upward to represent cow horns.

In Rwanda, when you want to wish someone well, you say “gira inka” (may you have a cow) or “amashyo” (have thousands of cows), and you’ll hear the response, “amashongore” (have thousands of female cows). When you want to express profound gratefulness, you say “nguhaye inka” (I give you a cow).

【1】What can people do in milk bars according to paragraph 1?

A．Wear unique clothing.

B．Learn to prepare lunch.

C．Communicate with others.

D．Drink free specially-made milk.

【2】What can we infer about Pascal Kubwimana from paragraph 2?

A．He is fond of the milk bars.

B．He usually gets help from the barkeepers.

C．He often takes his children to the milk bars.

D．He dislikes staying too long in the milk bars.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The large population of Rwanda.

B．The traditional dances in Rwanda.

C．The importance of cows in Rwanda.

D．The agricultural development of Rwanda.

【4】What is the main purpose of people’s saying “nguhaye inka” in Rwanda?

A．To wish someone well.

B．To convey deep thanks.

C．To congratulate someone.

D．To respond to someone’s question.
